As the Universe Turns - Chapter 657
Chapter 657 Asura Terrace
“It’s Xiao Yichen … It’s Xiao Yichen! He’s here!”
When that figure approached, someone finally recognized him. The entire Heavenly Sect boiled with excitement. The Sect Leaders and Elders of the various sects who were still in the hall were also shocked. They quickly walked out of the hall. How could everyone imagine that the youth from Xuanqing Sect was suffocating just because of his aura?
At this moment, four streaks of sword light descended from the sky and landed on the plaza. In an instant, they turned into four figures. However, when they saw the four people’s auras, they were as calm as an abyss. They were the four Cosmos Likan Elders of the Eight Heavenly Palaces.
Now that more than ten years had passed and a large amount of spiritual energy had poured into the ancient land of Xianyuan over the years, the cultivation of the Eight Palace Elders was naturally no longer comparable to what they had been in the past.
Elder Qianyuan was an old man dressed in green. At this moment, he stood forward like a lofty mountain, causing the nearby disciples to settle down in an instant.
He stared at Xiao Chen in front of the mountain and said loudly, “Xiao Yichen, why did you destroy the array formation of our Tiantai Mountain today and forcefully charge forward?”
At this moment, Xiao Chen stood in midair, his gaze as cold as water.
“Humph!”
Elder Kun Yi snorted coldly. He flicked his sleeves heavily and walked up to him. He coldly looked at him and said, “Xiao Yichen, the Heavenly Gate no longer pursued what happened back then. Do you still dare to barge in today? Do you really think that our Heavenly Gate is a place where we can come and go whenever we want?”
In the air, the cold wind was cold. Xiao Chen’s face was as calm as water from beginning to end. He didn’t want to say anything to these people. He said coldly, “Hand her over.”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people below began to discuss. At this moment, who in the Heavenly Gate did not know the purpose of his visit today? Unfortunately, the four elders of the Heavenly Sect had avoided talking about it just now, but now that he had spoken out, it was impossible for the four of them to continue pretending that they didn’t know anything.
Elder Kun Yi said coldly, “That demonic woman has been captured by our Heavenly Sect in all directions. You said that if you want her, you want her. Hmph … you really think of yourself as someone else!”
“I don’t care what you say. Anyway, today, I … want to take him away.” Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold, and his tone was unquestionable.
“Hmph, that depends on you. Do you have the ability to do so?”
Elder Qianyuan’s gaze was cold. After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and countless Heavenly Gate experts suddenly appeared from all directions.
Clearly, they had already prepared for this. At this moment, the dense crowd of people had instantly formed a sword formation. The cold light was dazzling, and the sword qi was even more frightening.
At this moment, almost everyone present felt a chill. It was as if they had instantly fallen into a cold pond. Even at the edge of the plaza, a layer of frost gradually condensed on the leaves of the flowers and plants.
Many people felt a chill in their hearts and subconsciously retreated into the distance. This was the Heavenly Gate Frost Sword Formation. It was extremely powerful. There were more than a thousand formations in front of them. Ordinary people would find it difficult to break through this sword formation as if they were ascending to the heavens.
“Since we’ve already prepared for this, why bother to say more?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were still calm. As soon as he finished speaking, Di Gu instantly pulled out his sword and charged towards the sword formation like a sword beam, causing a violent gust of wind to rise.
Everyone in the distance felt a slight tremor. On Mount Tiantai, there was probably no one other than him who dared to forcefully break into the Heaven Gate Cold Sword Formation.
“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”
Ten thousand streaks of cold light flew up in an instant and slashed straight at him. The terrifying sword force was like a raging sea that was about to engulf him in an instant. At this moment, everyone in the distance held their breath and watched with rapt attention, not even blinking an eye.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, Xiao Chen swept his sword horizontally and a sword qi slashed out. The sword qi that came from all over the sky was instantly scattered. The light of the Heavenly Gate Cold Sword Formation dimmed considerably. Many of the experts of the Heavenly Gate Formation were shaken to the point that their blood and qi surged. At this moment, even the sword in their hands was unable to hold it steadily.
The four elders were shocked. They never expected that his current cultivation would be so terrifying. They never expected that Di Gujian would actually be so powerful!
“Formation!”
Elder Kunyi shouted. All the disciples immediately stabilized the sword formation again. However, even if they reformed the formation, it would undoubtedly be a mantis. Di Gu caused the ten thousand swords to tremble. What sword formation could resist Di Gu?
When Xiao Chen slashed down, the entire sword formation trembled violently and immediately paled. Dozens of people from the formation coughed up blood and flew out, unable to retaliate.
When the third sword slashed towards him, there was a “rumble”. Dust flew up, and the ground cracked inch by inch. The entire Heavenly Gate Frost Sword Formation immediately shattered. The countless people in the formation were shocked to the point that they coughed up blood and flew backwards. The swords on the ground were broken and broken without any light.
Everyone in the distance was shocked speechless by this scene. Who could have imagined that, more than ten years ago, that young man whose life couldn’t help but fall, would actually be this terrifying now?
At this moment, the four elders finally came to their senses. The person in front of them was no longer the little Xuanqing Sect disciple from back then.
Elder Qianyuan slashed his finger and instantly took out a magic treasure and attacked Xiao Chen. However, even if his current cultivation was far superior to that of the past, it would still be difficult for him to withstand Xiao Chen’s sword strike.
“Senior Brother!”
Elder Kunyi knew that things weren’t going well, so he immediately stepped forward to help. However, even if the two of them worked together, when Xiao Chen slashed down with his sword, the two of them only felt suffocated. It was as if their muscles and bones had been broken inch by inch.
Seeing this, the two elders behind Li Huokan Shui were shocked. They flew up as well. With the combined strength of the four of them, they were still unable to defend against Di Gu in Xiao Chen’s hands.
“Where is she?”
The cold voice did not carry any emotions. Elder Qian Yuan and the others felt extremely exhausted. At this moment, under the suppression of Xiao Chen’s sword qi, they were actually unable to move at all.
“She’s at the Asura Terrace. Xiao Yichen, you should go save her.”
A woman’s voice came from somewhere in the crowd. Xiao Chen swung his sword away the four people in front of him and was about to head towards the Asura Terrace. Elder Qian Yuan was suddenly shocked, “Stop him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, countless Heavenly Gate experts suddenly rushed out from the shadows and blocked his path.
Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold as he slapped down with his palm. As the dust rolled, dozens of people vomited blood and flew out. No one could stop him.
At this moment, the people from the distant sects finally came to their senses. They were all hesitating whether to go forward to stop this person, but they were also afraid of his cultivation and the Di Gu Sword in his hand.
Seeing that no one could stop him, Elder Kunyi’s face turned pale. He looked at his senior brother beside him and said, “He’s going to the Asura Terrace. Quickly notify the three Adepts.”
Elder Qianyuan’s brows furrowed as he stared at Xiao Chen’s back. If he allowed this person to come and go freely today, he was afraid that the Heavenly Gate would no longer have any prestige in the future.
“No matter what, we must stop him …”
All of a sudden, the veins on Elder Qianyuan’s face burst out, and his body instantly grew much bigger, turning into a giant. This was his true body that he had cultivated for many years.
Seeing Senior Brother reveal his true body, Elder Kunyi couldn’t help but be shocked. In the next moment, he no longer hesitated. His hands formed seals and a dazzling light immediately burst out from her body. It was her who self-detonated her true essence to temporarily raise her cultivation by three levels.
“Drink!”
On this side, Elder Qianyuan shouted and slammed his palm down on Xiao Chen. His arm was as thick as a tree that the three of them were hugging. How could an ordinary person withstand it?
Xiao Chen felt the force from behind him attack. Ling Xian Step spread out and instantly moved a hundred feet away. With a “rumble”, the dust instantly surged. Elder Qianyuan’s palm actually shattered several palaces that still had defensive formations.
In the next moment, Elder Kun Yi, Li Huo, and Kan Shui, who had self-destructed Genuine energy, also attacked. This time, the strength of the four of them had increased by more than a tiny bit. Xiao Chen was still calm, and he was still able to easily fight against the four of them.
“Boom boom boom boom!”
A moment later, more than half of the buildings near the plaza were destroyed. The four elders were also heavily injured. Elder Qianyuan’s body had already shrunk. His face was pale and fresh blood continuously flowed out from the corner of his mouth. More than a dozen swords had been struck on his body. Fresh blood continuously gushed out. If it weren’t for his profound strength, he would have died long ago.
Elder Kun Yi, Elder Li Huo, and Elder Kan Shui were all injured to varying degrees. Even if they self-detonated Genuine energy, they would not be able to resist the Di Gu Sword in Xiao Chen’s hand.
After heavily injuring the four of them, Xiao Chen stopped fighting and headed towards the Asura Stage. Along the way, many people came to stop him, but none of them were able to stop him.
After an incense stick of time, he finally arrived outside the Asura Stage. There was an extremely powerful restriction barrier outside, most likely set up for him.
“Wei Yang, wait for me …”
Xiao Chen tightly held onto Di Gu in his hand. He knew that the three Heavenly Sect Adepts had yet to come out, but since he had come this time, he had never thought that he would be able to leave this place unscathed.
