Chapter 1374 (Raw 1365): Divine Weapon Unsheathed

As the cloud of yellow sand approached, the surging mysterious phenomena of war banners in the sky flapped loudly in the strong wind.

The cloud of yellow sand made it hard for one to keep their eyes open. A strong aura surged over; it was like a ferocious beast that could swallow up the sky, opening its huge jaws, trying to swallow Xiao Chen whole.

Xiao Chen, who was now standing upright, welcomed this boundless sandstorm. He looked incredibly insignificant before it like a small boat facing a storm—perhaps even less than that. It looked like the aura from the hundreds of Respected Deities would blow him away in the next moment.

"Dong!"

A dull, heavy sound came from the bronze sword box he had been carrying on his back as it landed beside Xiao Chen's feet.

Xiao Chen held the sword box with one hand, and mysterious phenomena materialized behind him. Winds blew, clouds churned, lightning flashed, and thunder roared like a berserk dragon calling out. Finally, all the mysterious phenomena turned into a saber and cut across the sky.

As the sword box gave off a dull, resounding 'thud,' it exploded forth with a dazzling saber light and a strong gust of wind.

This saber light flew upwards, releasing a boundless aura, forcefully blowing away all the yellow sand in front of Xiao Chen and revealing eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities, Di Wuque, and his companions.

The eight hundred Respected Deities gave off a bright light from their bodies, pushing each other on. When looking carefully, one would discover that the rhythm of the light flashing from these Respected Deities was exactly the same, it seemed like they already merged into one.

As the light flickered, the eight-hundred-odd war banners in the sky shook, flashing with golden light.

Di Wuque stood behind these eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities, showing a cold expression. Xia Houjue, Xie Zixuan, Xing Jue, and the other Deity Dao Union Martial Emperors eyed Xiao Chen coldly, all of them displaying not a shred of emotion in their eyes.

"Xiao Chen, you are really bold. You actually dare to remain behind alone and guard the rear. However, this is fine as well. This saves me from having to look for you everywhere. After I kill you, I will kill all the people that you care about!" Di Wuque spoke down to Xiao Chen with an indifferent look.

Xiao Chen raised his head slightly and looked past the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities with narrowed eyes. Then he said, unimpressed, "That would depend on whether you are capable enough to kill me first."

"If you were determined to run, I would not be able to kill you. However, you overestimated yourself, coming to guard the rear alone. It would be impossible for me not to kill you. Attack!"

Di Wuque's tone was extremely cold. After he spoke, the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities immediately made their move. They all soared into the air and prepared to work together to launch an attack to kill Xiao Chen on the spot. Back then, this move of theirs directly broke through Meteor Trail City's defense.

Xia Houjue and the others showed somewhat complicated expressions as they looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen deserved praise for his courage. By blocking them alone, he was fighting to give Fang Baiyu and his group a chance to live. It also prevented the final decisive battle from happening in advance. However, he put himself in dire straits.

If it were them, none of them would have the courage to do this.

In their eyes, Xiao Chen was already a dead person. Even if he could somehow survive the combined attacks of the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities, he would not be able to dodge the followup attack of their group. Di Wuque would see Xiao Chen die before him without even needing to make a move.

If Xiao Chen had not killed Tian Youxi, Di Wuque would not have lost his reason and ordered the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities to deal with Xiao Chen alone.

If the Respected Deities were scattered, Xiao Chen's strength would be more than sufficient to move about as he pleased. However, there were no ifs in the world. As they saw it, Xiao Chen would definitely die today.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the temperature plummeted. Snow started falling from the sky.

"What's going on?"

Di Wuque was the first to feel that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and pinched, grabbing a snowflake in his hand and letting it melt. However, after it melted, it did not disappear. After it melted, it actually became a bit of burning flame.

Di Wuque's expression changed slightly as he quickly looked over.

Xiao Chen's white hair fluttered in the wind. His entire being was covered in a layer of frost. As he raised his right hand, he thrust it forward, his palm flashing with a cold light like pale-white lightning.

It looked dazzling. In the next instant, the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities, who were about to gather together, all had a strange white flame on them.

Not only was this flame bone-chilling, but it also continuously swallowed the Primordial Energy in their bodies, sending their strength plummeting.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The many Respected Deities fell from the sky, feeling such pain that they wished for death. This sudden change caused the divine light and the war banners in the sky to separate and dissipate immediately.

"Cold! So cold!"

"What flame is this? I can't get rid of it!"

The many Respected Deities endured the intense pain and sat down cross-legged, trying to eliminate the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame. However, they found that the flame melted into their flesh and blood, even into their marrows. They could not eliminate it quickly.

This Heavenly Snow Divine Flame was a primordial-chaos-level flame. Now that it reached Rank 2, it could already instantly severely injure a Sixth Heaven Martial Emperor.

Used on just one Respected Deity, that Respected Deity would not be able to resist at all, immediately burning into ice shards.

However, the flame was dispersed among the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities, which undoubtedly reduced its might significantly; hence, the scene here.

"This…"

The Martial Emperors of the various races beside Di Wuque were all alarmed. Their faces filled with horror.

They had not expected that Xiao Chen alone could defeat eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities, the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities that they relied on the most.

"This is the legendary primal-chaos-level Divine Flame!" a Ghost Race old man present exclaimed. It was hard to believe that such a legendary flame would appear in Xiao Chen's hand.

It was not that the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities were too weak. It was because the flame in Xiao Chen's hand was too strange and too strong.

As Xiao Chen looked at the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities sitting on the ground and treating their injuries, he shook his head slightly, clearly not especially satisfied.

He had originally thought that he would be able to burn away half of these eight-hundred-odd false Martial Emperors. Unexpectedly, not a single one of them burned to death. It looked like a Rank 2 Divine Flame was still too weak after being dispersed like that.

However, this was already enough. Without these eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities, Xiao Chen was much more confident of blocking Di Wuque and his group. Di Wuque's group numbered in the hundreds, most of which were Minor Heavenly Martial Emperors with four Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors. Aside from them, there was even a heaven-defying genius like Di Wuque.

"Let's see how many trump cards you have!"

Di Wuque's expression did not change. It was like he did not care about the eight-hundred-odd Respected Deities' life and death as he spoke indifferently.

The Deity Race's Leng Zhengyang, the Phoenix's Passion Palace's Su Qianxing, and the two other Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors from the Ghost Race and Corpse Race slowly walked up.

"Quickly end the battle. Don't show any mercy or hold back," Di Wuque said indifferently.

"Whoosh!"

The figures of the four Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors scattered in four directions to surround Xiao Chen.

The Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors all released their Emperor's Might, and an invisible aura soared into the sky, materializing four different mysterious phenomena. The images of divine spirits appeared in the sky above their heads, covering the sky for fifty kilometers.

A huge flaming Vermilion Bird flapping its wings appeared above Su Qianxing. It gave off a surging heatwave, dyeing half the sky red.

The mysterious phenomena of the Ghost Race old man and the Corpse Race old man were even more frightening. Black clouds covered the sky, and spirits gathered. Death Qi soared into the sky.

The four auras mixed together, churning the sky for five hundred kilometers around. It was like something chopped the sky; many small cracks appeared, looking like a huge spider web.

Mo Chen and the others currently retreating were greatly startled when they saw the mysterious phenomena in the sky.

When they turned their heads back, they saw blurry figures standing in the air, surrounding Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen's mysterious phenomenon was buried, unable to show itself.

"It's over. Four of the Deity Dao Union's Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors are preparing to attack Xiao Chen at the same time," An Junxi exclaimed with worry in his tone.

"Vice Sect Master, let's kill our way back!"

Someone felt dissatisfied; he could not bear the thought of Xiao Chen guarding the rear alone, remaining behind alone to face such danger.

"That's right. Vice Sect Master, let's kill our way back and fight it out with the Deity Dao Union bastards. At worst, we all die together!"

"Let's kill our way back, Vice Sect Master!"

The crowd felt excited. All the people present looked at Fang Baiyu. Their eyes blazed with the intent to fight, their rage soaring.

Fang Baiyu felt conflicted. His expression turned complicated. After a while, he said, "Let's go. Don't look back.

"The Azure Dragon King is guarding the rear in order to save our lives. He wants us to activate the sixth layer of the formation and not let the decisive battle happen now. He does not want us to send ourselves to our deaths. Without the Worldly Mountain River Great Sun Formation, we would not stand a chance now if we fight the decisive battle."

"Qiang!"

Right after Fang Baiyu spoke, a loud sound suddenly came from the body of Xiao Chen, who was being suppressed by four Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors—a saber hum shook the sky and ground. Then, a saber light soared into the sky, scattering the mysterious phenomena on all sides.

This saber hum excited the Wind Shadow Sword on Yue Bingyun's back, making it tremble endlessly. Her expression lit up in joy, and she said, "The Cloud Moon Saber and the Lunar Shadow Saber finished merging. This is a brand-new Transcendent Divine Weapon. As long as Young Master Xiao can bring out thirty percent of its might, it will be able to block those four people!"
