As the Universe Turns - Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Bitter Battle

Suddenly, red clouds covered the originally clear sky. It was as hot as a fire, as if it was going to burn everything, but it forcefully slowed down Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang.

Chi Yunshi had already caught up with them in an instant. He raised his hand and a terrifying force suppressed them, causing Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang to be unable to move a single step.

This was an absolute difference in cultivation, something that could not be made up by any cultivation method. Even the people from the various great clans and sects who had just caught up felt suffocated at this moment.

This was the difference in cultivation realms. Just like a cultivator who had just refined a golden core, how could he contend against a cultivator who had already cultivated a Nascent Soul?

“Take these two down!”

In midair, Chi Yunshi’s gaze was cold as he gave the order. The four Zi Yi men behind him immediately flew towards Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang.

However, at this moment, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang were restrained. For a moment, it was difficult to lift their cultivation power. Just as the four of them rushed closer, a few strands of azure sword qi suddenly slashed towards them from afar. With a few “bang bang bang” sounds, the four Zi Yi men were immediately pushed back.

In the next moment, Elder Greenwood and the others flew over to Xiao Chen and the other two. The trial elders’ gazes were also cold. Even when facing the people from the Profound Firmament Palace, there was no fear in their eyes at this moment.

When the Zi Yi man saw the Heavenly Pagoda’s trial elders coming to stop him, he firmly stood and flicked his sleeves, “Are you really not going to let him go?”

Elder Azurewood looked at him, his eyes no longer as fearful as before. He coldly snorted, “The Profound Firmament Palace and the various forces of the Ancient Realm have never offended each other. If you want to take away the power of the Azure Dragon, then you have to give us a reason.”

After saying that, Elder Azurewood immediately sent a secret message to Xiao Chen, “Wait until we find an opportunity to leave, I’ll come and stall them.”

Evidently, the few of them had already made up their minds that even if they swore to their deaths, Xiao Chen would bring Power of Azure Dragon back to Celestial Pogoda safely. The few of them quickly twisted their fingers and formed a seal. In an instant, they formed a formation and broke through Chi Yunshi’s confinement.

“Let’s go!”

Elder Greenwood hurriedly sent another secret message to Xiao Chen. Without hesitation, Xiao Chen exchanged glances with Hua Weiyang. He immediately took the Ling Xian Step and flew with her towards the outside of the mountain range.

“Humph!”

Chi Yunshi coldly snorted and chased after them. A strong wind surged, and his aura crushed them. He directly broke away from Elder Cyanwood’s formation and flew over their heads.

Azurewood and the others saw him rushing towards Xiao Chen and were just about to catch up when the four purple-clothed men rushed over and stopped them.

Chi Yunshi’s figure suddenly transformed several times, and his aura was already extremely strong. He struck down with his palm at the two of them in front of him.

The palm force instantly formed a crimson palm print. Under the violent wind, the ground cracked and the vegetation turned into dust.

Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate when he noticed the attack from behind. He turned around and used his palm to release the dragon’s roar. The dragon’s roar shook the heavens, and his palm rolled up the leaves in the sky, instantly forming a hundred-meter-long dragon shadow that rushed out.

“Boom!”

The collision of their palms caused the earth to tremble. Even the people who were a few miles away felt a deep tremor.

The ground cracked, vegetation flying, Chi Yunshi’s aura strong, Xiao Chen was not willing to be outdone, the wind of their palms instantly enveloped a few miles, the vegetation flying, everyone felt suffocated and oppressed.

Seeing that, Hua Weiyang also flew up in an instant. He quickly raised the Jade Lian Flower and attacked Chi Yunshi. The Jade Lian Flower’s light was flourishing like a hundred zhang long beam. However, with a “bang”, it was blocked by Chi Yunshi’s hand and could no longer move forward.

At this moment, the two sides confronted each other. The fierce winds raged in midair, turning everything around them into powder.

That Xuanxiao Palace’s Chi Yunshi was indeed very profound. Even if Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang were to use their full strength, it would still be difficult to shake him in the slightest.

Gradually, the fiery red clouds in the sky gradually gathered. It was obvious that Chi Yunshi’s strength was overwhelming Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang. The two sides seemed to be evenly divided, but the latter was almost unable to hold on.

“Idiot, no, this person’s cultivation is too high. If this continues, we won’t be able to hold on …”

Seeing the surrounding flames and clouds getting closer and closer, Hua Weiyang sent a secret message to Xiao Chen, “Do you still remember how to beat a bull across a mountain?”

Xiao Chen immediately recalled the two people he had met in Dongjie back then. At that time, Cangfeng Valley had disguised himself as an old granny. For some reason, he had used him to beat the two of them to pieces.

“Hurry up and come over. Follow my instructions later. I’ll let you take the palm, and you’ll take the palm.” As Hua Weiyang circulated his power to defend against Chi Yunshi’s power, he quickly sent a secret message to him.

Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He immediately withdrew his strength and flew in front of her. The moment the two of them withdrew their strength, Chi Yunshi’s strength surged over like a huge wave. If it wasn’t for Jade Lian Hua and Lian You Umbrella blocking them, their organs would have been shattered.

Seeing that the two of them had suddenly withdrawn their strength, Chi Yunshi’s eyes narrowed. He was a brave expert, and no matter what the other party wanted to do, he directly flew over.

It was also at the same time that Hua Weiyang sensed the location of the devil essence in Xiao Chen’s body. His ten fingers continuously pointed towards his back. Following the infusion of profound energy, the lifelong power Xiao Cangtian had poured into his body at the back of the Mystic Cyan Mountain began to churn in his body at this moment.

At this moment, a strong wind blew out and scattered the scarlet red flame clouds gathered around the two of them. A faint dark red blood mark appeared between Xiao Chen’s eyebrows. At this moment, it was as if it had turned into a devil. Even many people in the distance felt a deep shock. He was …

Xiao Chen could naturally sense why there was such a rich energy hidden within his body. However, this cultivation was not the cultivation of the Profound Sect’s Righteous Dao. Could it be that it was back then … Senior Blame!

This time, he seemed to have figured out everything. It was Senior Blame. That night when Senior Blame left, he actually passed all of his life’s worth to him. So that’s how it was …

But what was the purpose of Senior Blame’s actions back then?

Right now, he didn’t have time to think about it. On the other side, Chi Yunshi could clearly feel his extraordinary aura, but he still rushed over unstoppably. Apart from Chi Yunshi, there was also the purple-clothed man who flew over as well.

“Idiot, attack!”

Hua Weiyang finally finished his work, and Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He pushed his palms and followed her guidance, releasing the power in his body.

In an instant, this power formed a purple-red mist in midair. It was like an unstoppable tide that shattered all the hills below.

Even though Chi Yunshi had already sensed something, he hadn’t expected that this force would be so powerful. He could only forcefully raise both his palms to resist. With a “rumble”, an overwhelming force pressed down on him, forcefully pushing him back more than ten zhang.

However, this force still hadn’t stopped. The Zi Yi man behind him didn’t have the profound strength of Chi Yunshi. Seeing that the purple-red fog covered the sky, before he could use his strength to resist, he was shocked to the point that he spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body flew backwards like a float in the wind, powerlessly.

“Rumble!”

The mountains were all shattered by this force, and the earth was trembling. Even the people who were ten miles away felt their hearts tremble. Just what kind of terrifying power was this?

Elder Azurewood and the others were also stunned. How could they have imagined that Wu Chen would actually hide himself? There was such a powerful force in his body that even Chi Yunshi of the Profound Firmament Palace could not withstand it.

Xiao Chen did not expect that Senior Monster’s strength was actually so profound. Could it be that he had unintentionally used Senior Monster’s strength in the final battle against Tibetan Feng Gu Ye Runian during the Heavenly Gate Martial Meeting? No wonder those people said that they were from the Devil Dao …

“Demonic Qi?”

Chi Yunshi steadied himself and his gaze sharpened. Although the cultivation forces of the Immortal North Ancient Realm were not as clear about the difference between the Righteous and the Demons as the Immortal Origin Five Regions, he could sense that the power just now was not something that cultivators of the Immortal Dao should possess.

These two people … what exactly is their background?

Chi Yunshi’s gaze became sharper and sharper. Although many people in the Immortal North Ancient Realm did not know that there was another cultivation ground on the other side of the desert, he knew that the Four Seas and Eight Desolates were not just a small Immortal North Ancient Realm. Could it be that the two of them came from the other side of the desert?

If that was the case, the two of them had strange identities and were people from the other side of the desert, then he would not only bring back the power of the Azure Dragon, but also the primordial spirits of the two of them!

At this moment, Xiao Chen keenly sensed the ice-cold killing intent coming from the other side. He secretly gathered strength in his palm once again. He did not expect that such a powerful force just now would not be able to injure this person. It seemed that this person had already peeked at the Void Dao Harmonization Realm for the first time.

Just a subordinate was so powerful, how terrifying was True Monarch Xuanxiao’s cultivation?

The wind howled coldly as the killing intent grew heavier and heavier. Even those who were ten miles away held their breath at this moment.

All of a sudden, Chi Yunshi’s entire body was lucky, and a hundred zhang of scarlet flames immediately rose up from his body. Under the reflection of the flames, everyone felt a burst of heat, and they continued to flee further away.

In the next moment, his palms trembled and his body enlarged by countless times. It was like a small hill that was a hundred feet tall. Scarlet flames flowed in his eyes, as if he was an ancient god, and he was not angry at all.

This scene shocked many people in the distance. This was Chi Yunshi’s true body!

“Shit …”

Hua Weiyang’s expression changed slightly. Obviously, she had already sensed that Chi Yunshi’s strength had increased countless times. It was definitely not something that she could compare to just now.

“Drink!”

With a cold shout, Chi Yunshi suddenly slammed his palm over the two of them, causing a large shadow to appear on the ground. Xiao Chen was just about to raise his cultivation power, but under the absolute suppression of the Dao, even his cultivation was exhausted.

At this critical moment, Hua Weiyang suddenly took out a purple-colored magic treasure, but upon closer inspection, it was a purple-gold gourd.
