Chapter 1329: Fiend Master Bestowing Treasure

The more Di Feng analyzed, the more frightened he became. While every one of Xiao Chen's actions appeared simple, they all had deep meaning. This was a great and mysterious Dao, far from simply just borrowing force to fight. It was deep, distant, and immeasurable.

"In that case, let the battle intensify even further!"

A lofty aspiration that had not appeared in a long time surged in Di Feng's heart. The tempo of his drumming suddenly sped up.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The booming of the ancient drum merged with the lofty aspiration and hot-bloodedness of a Sovereign Martial Emperor, penetrating the arena and the depths of everyone's soul.

Even Xiao Chen felt the influence of this war drum. His heart thumped rapidly and heavily, matching the drumbeat in the depths of his soul.

All the hot-bloodedness in Xiao Chen blazed and surged, filling him with fighting spirit.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and stopped resisting the sound of the drum, letting this drumbeat resound in the depths of his soul. "This is fine as well. I shall fight to my heart's content!"

"Taiji Saber Domain!"

Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he merged his Saber Domain and the Taiji force field. His saber intent turned into two dragons—one dark and one light, one Yin and one Yang—as they chased each other and formed a vast Taiji diagram.

He stepped in the middle and saw yet another wave of attacks approaching. Then, he took a second step.

It was like Xiao Chen's body suddenly vanished. All his aura and attacks became invisible.

This development stunned the three Fiend Race elders pressing over, who lost their target.

"Break!"

In this moment of distraction, Xiao Chen suddenly appeared. He swung his saber and disrupted the formation of the three.

In this Taiji Saber Domain, Xiao Chen's figure became faintly discernible. He suddenly appeared and disappeared, appearing bright or dark. This move disrupted the formation of the nine Fiend Race elders, and they could not reform the formation.

"Gather together. Do not panic!"

"Elder Feng, be careful. He went to your side. That's not right, ah!"

"Don't panic, don't panic. We will pull ourselves out one by one!"

Amid the drumming, when Xiao Chen drew his saber and broke that powerful sword strike, the balance of the battle tilted in his favor.

One man and one saber. The white-clad-and-white-haired figure attacked the nine Fiend Race elders, throwing them into chaos, rendering them helpless.

The dragon roars resounded endlessly, and the saber intent buzzed incessantly. Fast and slow, stillness and movement were all unpredictable.

The nine elders were soon riddled in wounds; all of them wanted to retreat.

"You think you can retreat?" Xiao Chen muttered gently.

The two dragons under his feet merged as he executed the Taiji Yinyang Chop. In the Taiji Saber Domain, this attack was as quick as the wind and lightning, disappearing in a flash.

The armor and protective shields on the nine Fiend Race elders shattered at the same time.

Xiao Chen pulled himself out and turned around. After he sheathed his saber, he drifted down.

"Boom!" This sound was even louder than the overwhelming war drum's voice. The Taiji Saber Domain exploded, dealing one final blow to the nine Fiend Race elders.

The rain of saber intent was like that of a storm, filling the surrounding space and shattering space.

By the time Xiao Chen landed, no one was standing upright in the arena aside from him. Everyone else lay on the floor, covered in wounds and moaning miserably.

However, these Fiend race elders all possessed the Golden Emperor Body. Xiao Chen had also held back when he attacked, not dealing any fatal damage.

Otherwise, Xiao Chen's Taiji Yinyang Chop would not simply have broken through the defenses of these Fiend Race elders.

The drumming halted. Even Di Feng had not expected such a result.

He had already guessed that the Taiji Dao was not that simple, limited to just fighting with borrowed force. However, he had not anticipated that when Xiao Chen truly erupted, Xiao Chen would demonstrate such horrifying might.

The white-robed Xiao Chen calmly walked out of the dust cloud in the air. "Senior Di, have I proven myself?"

Di Feng was slightly dazed. After a while, he guffawed and said, "Let's go!"

Silently, Di Feng led Xiao Chen up into the sky, heading for the highest point in Myriad Fiend Island.

The Fiend Race cultivators around all exclaimed in surprise. Di Xinhan's expression changed slightly as well.

"This… They are going to meet the old ancestor!"

The old ancestor remained in closed-door cultivation most of the time, staying hidden. Meeting him was like trying to ascend to the heavens for regular people, literally impossible.

Meeting the old ancestor was almost impossible even for Di Xinhan himself. Hidden in heavy layers of clouds, the summit of Myriad Fiend Island was like a sacred place to the Fiend Race.

The two junior Vice Island Masters recovered their wits and quickly followed, soaring into the air.

When the two caught up with Di Feng, they discovered that Xiao Chen was nowhere in sight.

Di Feng stood in the clouds alone, looking at the peak that was the highest point of Myriad Fiend Island, the place with the greatest concentration of Spiritual Energy. It was also the place that anchored the Myriad Fiend Island's Luck.

That mountain peak in the clouds appeared very mysterious. At the same time, it emitted strong might, deterring others from approaching. It was like they feared angering a god.

"Where's Xiao Chen?" the two junior Vice Island Masters asked.

Di Feng pointed at that mysterious mountain peak without saying anything.

The two junior Vice Island Masters turned sad and dispirited. They sighed, and one said, "He really went there? The last time I personally met the old ancestor was something like a thousand years ago. At that time, I had not advanced to Martial Emperor yet."

"Are we really going to agree to him and reject the Deity Race?"

Di Feng said indifferently, "The two of you, stop thinking about the benefits that the Deity Race offered. While there are many benefits if we join the Deity Dao Union, doing so will cut off the future of the entire Myriad Fiend Island. The old ancestor will definitely not agree to it."

The two junior Vice Island Masters blushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Indeed, by joining the Deity Dao Union, the members of the upper echelon like them would be able to grow stronger and gain all sorts of benefits.

However, in the long run, the others of the Myriad Fiend Island would be slowly assimilated, one by one, dependent on the support of the Deity Race.

"Why does the old ancestor want to meet him? By now, Big Brother should be able to make the decisions for Myriad Fiend Island, right?"

"That's right. Who is the old ancestor? He is someone that even the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign does not dare to underestimate. Why is he meeting with Xiao Chen alone?"

The two junior Vice Island Masters felt it was somewhat strange and could not understand; they were filled with questions.

Di Feng smiled faintly and replied, "You do not understand because you are not strong enough. How can the old ancestor's breadth of vision be the same as ours? If my guess is right, the old ancestor's aim is the same as the Supreme Sky Prime's. They both want to find their own opportunities through this youth."

Their own opportunities?

The two junior Vice Island Masters exchanged puzzled glances. The old ancestor stood at the peak of the Kunlun Realm, termed a Prime. Why would he need an opportunity?

--

Amid the many layers of clouds, Xiao Chen felt himself go through tier after tier of overlapping barriers like there was no end to them.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the clouds parted. The scene before Xiao Chen's eyes changed as he headed for the top of the mountain peak and gently drifted down.

There was a yellow-clad old man with white hair, white eyebrows, and a white beard at the summit. He sat on top of a stone pillar, appearing plain and simple.

This old man looked ordinary, except for his eyes, which were deep and bright, gleaming with experience. They must have seen the vicissitudes of time as the years went by.

Xiao Chen was startled. This was the famous Myriad-Law Fiend Master. To think that his true appearance was like this!

Xiao Chen had met other Primes. Aside from the overwhelming aura of a Prime, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, Heaven Punishing Corpse God, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch, the Supreme Sky Prime, and the Spirit Fox King all possessed an atmosphere of having abandoned the mundane and being one with nature.

The bearded old man before Xiao Chen also exuded such an atmosphere. Xiao Chen could be sure that this was the Myriad-Law Fiend Master.

"Greetings, Senior Fiend Master!" Xiao Chen said with a cupped-fist salute.

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master said calmly, "It looks like you passed Di Feng's test. Tell me, how did you do it?"

This question flabbergasted Xiao Chen. This Myriad-Law Fiend Master was a Prime. Could it be that he was not aware of what happened earlier?

That was definitely not so. There had to be some other important reason, something extraordinary.

However, who could have imagined that the Myriad-Law Fiend Master's next words would render Xiao Chen speechless, at a loss as to what to say?

"It is not that strange. I spend most of my time looking at the sky in a daze. I do not have the spare time or energy to split my attention and look at other things."

In a daze? A Prime staring at the sky in a daze?

Xiao Chen did not dare to probe too deeply. He merely answered honestly, speaking about how he cleared Di Feng's test.

After the Myriad-Law Fiend Master heard it, a strange look flashed in his eyes. "Fighting one against ten? Strange, your strength is clearly equal to only a peak Third Heaven Martial Emperor's. How can you fight one against ten?"

Xiao Chen was about to give a detailed explanation when the Myriad-Law Fiend Master gently prodded the air, causing a water screen to appear.

Figures flashed in the water screen, replaying the scene of Xiao Chen's earlier fight with the ten Fiend Race elders.

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master nodded every now and then, occasionally rewinding certain portions and watching them several times.

He parsed the movements of the Fish Dragon Art. The trajectories of the countlessly layered afterimages became clear.

This startled Xiao Chen. He did not know how this water screen did this.

"This is the Heavenly Shark Mirror, an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure of the Myriad Fiend Island. It is refined by using the eye of a Heavenly Shark Fiend. This Heavenly Shark Mirror can see everything that happens on Myriad Fiend Island," the Myriad-Law Fiend Master said as he watched the scenes, clarifying Xiao Chen's doubts.

"Not bad, not bad. Did you comprehend this by yourself? Action and inaction, fast and slow, light and dark. It is like you can merge all the opposing traits of the world," the Myriad-Law Fiend Master said while looking at Xiao Chen after he dispersed the water screen.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "This is the Taiji Dao. This junior managed to comprehend it by chance."

"Taiji!"

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master gently prodded the air, and a Taiji diagram appeared. Two fish of energy—black and white—swam about in the diagram. It was like all the great Dao of the world materialized from it.

Shaking his head while staring at the Taiji diagram, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master said, "It is somewhat too simple; it feels like it lacks something. However, it is rather interesting. I can play around with this for a while."

Xiao Chen felt it was strange when he heard this. Why was it that this Fiend Master seemed extremely bored? Xiao Chen had been here for some time already, yet they still had not breached the topic of his purpose for visiting.

"Senior, will you promise to help at the Supreme Sky Sect's crucial moment?" Xiao Chen asked nervously, feeling uncertain.

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master nodded casually. "Since Di Feng already agreed, I will naturally help. You can leave now!"

Leave?

Xiao Chen felt like his thoughts could not keep up with the developments. The Myriad-Law Fiend Master only glanced at him and muttered a few lines before sending him off.

"Wait a moment. Your physical body seems to be falling behind. You should be cultivating the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art, right? You've reached only the second layer. You are far from comparable to the Azure Emperor back then. You probably have not managed to collect sufficient Secret Treasures containing dragon souls."

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master seemed to know everything. After thinking for a while, he tossed Xiao Chen a spatial ring. "Here are some Secret Treasures refined by the later generations after the deaths of the older-generation Dragon Fiends. Take this as a greeting gift. Right, that should be all."
