As the Universe Turns - Chapter 599
Chapter 599 Fierce Battle
After countless dangers, Xiao Chen seemed to have figured out the rules of the purple-robed old man’s movements. He no longer entangled himself with him and stepped into the air, standing on the hilt of the main sword of the Sword Stage.
Everyone in the distance felt their hearts tighten when they saw him fly onto the main sword. On the tall building, Jiang Yutian and the others felt their hearts tremble. He flew onto the main sword like this. Once Tai Shi Dao Sect’s Berserk Dragon Hand was released, wouldn’t it be impossible to protect the main sword as well?
The few of them felt as if blood was dripping from their hearts. These giant swords had been handed down from ancient times, and they could not stand for thousands of years in the Imperial Continent. Could it be that they were going to be destroyed in the battle between the two of them today?
Just as he was nervous, Suddenly, the sky became gloomy. The violet-robed old man’s killing intent grew more intense. The Berserk Dragon Hand instantly spread out again and grabbed Xiao Chen with its claws. However, this time, Xiao Chen could no longer dodge. Just as everyone was about to jump out of their chests, the figure on the main sword suddenly turned into an afterimage as if it had been blown away by the wind and then disappeared.
“Shit …”
Only then did the purple-robed old man suddenly react. However, it was already too late. Xiao Chen used Ling Xian Step to create an illusion. His true self appeared behind the purple-robed old man strangely like an unfathomable god ghost.
“Master, be careful!”
A disciple from Tai Shi Dao Sect cried out in alarm. The purple-robed old man’s heart trembled and he hurriedly turned around. However, before he could make a move, he saw a flash of sword light in front of him. A burst of heart-piercing pain immediately came from his right shoulder. His entire arm was sliced off by a single sword strike.
“Ah!”
The purple-robed old man covered his broken arm. Blood gushed out like a spring. His body trembled. Xiao Chen took the opportunity to send out another palm strike. With a “bang”, he immediately spat out blood and fell down.
“Junior Brother!”
One of Old man Qingyi’s eyes was about to split open as he flew over to catch him in an instant. The remaining few people, let alone say anything else, all launched their most ferocious attacks at Xiao Chen.
One of the gray-robed elders took out a large bronze bell. However, when he saw that the bell was carved with a flying dragon immortal beast, the gray-robed elder slapped the abdomen of the bell. The sound of the bell immediately rushed towards Xiao Chen like rolling thunder.
Everywhere the bell rang, everything turned into powder. Within a few hundred feet of the Sword Arena, plants, flowers, stones, houses, and buildings instantly vanished.
Fortunately, there was no one nearby. Otherwise, the casualties would have been tragic. Even the people standing in the distance were shocked by the sound of the bell, their ears buzzing. Their blood and qi surged endlessly. Everyone could only hurriedly use their cultivation techniques to protect their hearts. It could be seen how powerful the bronze bell was.
The other purple-clothed old man suddenly flew into the air. He raised his palm and slapped down on Xiao Chen. The palm shadow instantly transformed into a hundred feet in midair. It seemed to carry the power of an ancient god as it ferociously pressed down on Xiao Chen. Even the ground near the Sword Stage couldn’t withstand this terrifying force and cracked apart.
Faced with such ferocious killing intent, Xiao Chen still hadn’t retreated. At this moment, five or six old men with extraordinary cultivation battled on their own. There was still room for them to attack. They hadn’t released the control of life and death yet.
At this moment, the hearts of the people from the various sects and sects in the distance were already shaken. It was truly hard for them to imagine how terrifying the cultivation of this abandoned disciple of the Profound Azure Sect had reached back then.
The cultivations of these Tai Shi Dao Sect elders were all unfathomable, and he was actually able to defeat several people at the same time with such ease. Was his cultivation really unmatched? Or was it really as the rumors had said, twenty or thirty years ago, the Nine Yin Blood Demon Xiao Cangtian, who had suddenly disappeared from the world, had already passed the remnant of the Heavenly Book to him?
Everyone was guessing at this moment. At this moment, in the clouds above, an immortal island was floating motionlessly. The four white-bearded elders were standing in the pavilion. They were clearly observing everything that was happening near the Sword Stage through the Spiritual Energy Array.
Old man Qingyi stroked his beard and nodded, “This child is extraordinary. He is young, yet he has such attainments. It is really hard to find him once in ten million years. Junior brothers, what do you think?”
After a while, a white-clothed old man said, “In the face of such killing intent, there is still room for this child to attack. It is indeed very human. However, in his moves, there is still a trace of evil energy in the fifth part of his Righteous Qi. It is both righteous and evil. It does not seem like Xuan Qing’s cultivation technique. Could it be that this child has truly mastered the Heart Arts in the fragment of the Heavenly Book?”
“Heavenly Book …”
Hearing the two words “Book of Heaven”, Old man Qingyi’s gaze narrowed slightly. His gaze gradually became distant and peaceful. After a while, “Three thousand years ago, that Diabolism Heavenly Heart Ancestor left behind a fragment of the Heavenly Book. However, these three thousand years have caused endless conflicts in the world … Do you still remember that senior who allowed us to escape from this world and meditate on the mysteries of longevity in order to prevent us from getting involved in the battle in Xianyuan Five Realms?”
Hearing this, the other three nodded slightly. After a while, Old man Qingyi looked into the formation and slowly said, “Today’s matter is only the beginning. This child is carrying a fragment of the Book of Heaven. He is afraid that the future will truly attract a bloody storm …”
The four of them were silent.
…
At this moment, the battle on the sword arena became more and more intense. The grey-robed old man’s bell rang like a wave as he continued to attack Xiao Chen. The violet-robed old man’s fierce palm descended from the sky like thunder, causing dust to fly in all directions.
There were several other elders who either used their swords or used their magic treasures to continuously use the sharpest killing moves against Xiao Chen. However, even so, they were still unable to take Xiao Chen down.
At this moment, countless experts from the Grand Origin Dao Sect also rushed forward. Their goal today was to take Xiao Chen’s life. Seeing the battle going on for a long time, the masters were still unable to capture him. They were afraid that something would happen, so they rushed forward with all their might.
Killing intent enveloped the entire Sword Arena. Although the cultivation of the nearly 1,000 people was far inferior to that of a few old men, it was more than enough to defeat them. Once all of them attacked, they would definitely not be underestimated.
When Xiao Chen saw that these people wanted to charge forward, he slapped down with his palm. The shadow of his palm instantly transformed into a hundred zhang. As the dust rolled, he only saw nearly a hundred people vomiting blood and flying down randomly.
“Don’t be so arrogant!”
Suddenly, a purple shadow flew over. It was the old man with ferocious palm power. This person had extremely high palm skill attainments, and when he raised his palm, the wind and clouds surged. At this moment, the palm power was pressing against each other, threatening the heavens and the earth. Even cultivators in the distance felt suffocated.
Seeing Li’s palm attack, Xiao Chen remained calm. With a wave of his hand, the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique instantly circulated to its maximum, and the palm power instantly formed two strands of Yin Yang Profound Qi.
This Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique was originally Xiao Cangtian’s technique, so in the eyes of the Righteous Daoists, it was the evil technique of the Devil Religion. However, most of the people in the world did not know that this technique was a miraculous technique that had long since been lost in ancient times and had nothing to do with the devil at all.
At this moment, when Xiao Chen used it, the Yin and Yang Profound Qi conformed to the Taoist Yin and Yang Profound Techniques. The two strands of Profound Qi interweaved together, and they were like waves of the sea and rocky mountains. They could be said to be like the Grand Dao, a palm of the same heavens!
