Chapter 1413 (Raw 1404): Growing by Leaps and Bounds

Xiao Chen intended to put the Mirage Immortal Palace's matter aside for now. He wanted to test the completed Cycle Throne's might to see how much it had improved.

The Cycle Throne was a quasi-Primordial Emperor Treasure. Its greatest use was to allow Xiao Chen to control seven Divine Weapons as though they were his arms.

In the Kunlun Realm, the most a bladesmen could practice was merely twin sabers. However, Xiao Chen could control seven Divine Weapons. The crucial point was that the seven Divine Weapons were one set!

In the past, Pride was not merged with the Destruction Throne. Although the seven Divine Weapons were one set, that deficiency precluded the completion of their uniformity.

Now that all seven Divine Weapons were merged with thrones and had even soaked in the Saber Washing Pool, their might had definitely increased significantly.

With a thought, the seven Divine Weapons were unsheathed at the same time. Xiao Chen gently tapped the ground with his finger, and seven figures appeared, quickly grasping the saber handles.

"Pride, Void Breaking Stance!"

The figure holding Pride made the light one kilometer around disappear, plunging the place in pitch darkness. Everything around belonged to the saber. Then, that figure leaped into the air and vanished.

It was like that figure teleported. The next time this figure appeared, a thirty-thousand-kilometer saber light erupted out, looking as resplendent as the sun as he hacked out.

Space in front shattered like glass, turning into powder. If there were a small star here, Xiao Chen could explode it directly.

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. After Pride merged with the Destruction Throne, when the figure executed the first move of the Flawless Saber Technique, its might was not much weaker than when the true body executed it previously.

In fact, it might even be slightly stronger. The state in the Destruction Throne happened to complement the Void Breaking Stance. It was impossible for it to be mightier.

"Wrath, Dragon Subduing Stance!"

Wrath had merged with the Ruin Throne. It was the most suitable for executing the Dragon Subduing Stance. Dragons were essentially creatures with a berserk nature. In ancient times, the emperor, the one mandated by the heavens, was compared to a True Dragon. It was said that when the emperor raged, there would be millions of corpses.

However, when a True Dragon raged, it was not as simple as millions of people dying. It would be a nation—even a dynasty—getting destroyed.

The figure holding Wrath quickly executed the second move of the Flawless Saber Technique—Dragon Subduing Stance. With this move, one thousand berserk dragons soared out, Dragon Might filling the sky. Using the aura of True Dragons, this attack turned into a saber mighty enough to sweep through the heavens.

"Greed, Falling Moon Stance!"

In the past three years, Xiao Chen already completed the Flawless Saber Technique. The third move was the Falling Moon Stance. In his life, he had a fate with the moon. Many of his Martial Techniques had something to do with the moon—Flawless Bright Moon, Moon Bright Like Fire, Thousand Year Death, and Thousand Year Flame were such examples.

This move—Falling Moon Stance—fused all the Martial Techniques relating to the moon with the Flawless saber Dao.

The saber light flashed, and a bright moon fell as a figure soared in the sky.

"Envy, Heartbreaking Stance!"

This was because the heavens were not fair. Everyone would have an envious heart. One grieved because of envy, feeling pain and dissatisfaction. Along his path, Xiao Chen experienced this deeply for himself. He felt so much pain that his heart was broken in the end. This fourth move of the Flawless Saber Technique came from his personal experience, the Heartbreaking Stance.

This move broke the heart. First, it broke one's heart; then, it broke the enemy's. It was very powerful, but it was also a double-edged sword. It dealt a thousand damage to the enemy but eight hundred to oneself. Unless it was the final critical moment, it should not be used. The uniqueness of the Flawless saber Dao was the clearest in this move.

Without a perfect saber Dao, there was no perfect person. There would only be a heart that sought perfection.

"Sloth, Cloud Reaching Stance!"

Sloth was a normal human emotion. Everyone felt lazy. Without laziness, how would there be such a wonderful world filled with all sorts of temptations? How could one counter these temptations? Only by keeping a strong resolution to reach the clouds in one's heart, by thinking of the scene on top of the tall mountains, yearning to see the magnificent clouds at the peak.

The Flawless Saber Technique's fifth move—Cloud Reaching Stance. For youth filled with magnificent aspirations with nothing to worry about, their hearts would always have a saber that thirsted to reach the clouds. Someday, when this saber was unsheathed, it would definitely soar into the sky, piercing through the clouds into the heavens.

"Lust, Shadowless Stance!"

Scenes of debauchery, wallowing in a life of luxury, addicted to carnal pleasures, indulging oneself to death. Lascivious activities could lead to bitter consequences. This saber was the most ruthless, the most insidious. This saber was invisible, killing without a trace.

Lust was such an insidious saber. The Flawless Saber Technique's sixth move used Xiao Chen's strong Mental Energy and worked with this saber. When sending out the Shadowless Stance, it created layers of illusions filled with temptation that addicted one to carnal pleasures and led to dying in pleasure.

"Gluttony, Heaven Swallowing Stance!"

This move was the Flawless Saber Technique's seventh move and also its strongest move. It represented Xiao Chen's ambition to swallow the heavens. Once this move was executed, it could swallow up any Martial Technique and bury it in the Flawless saber Dao. The burial represented the final end in the Death Dao.

The seven human figures materialized the Flawless Saber Technique before finally exchanging moves and attacking each other.

Xiao Chen watched coldly, doing his best to find openings in every move and correcting them continuously. With the seven thrones merged into the Divine Weapons, the Flawless Saber Technique could formally make its debut.

Whether Xiao Chen could retain the Saber Sovereign title would depend on this Flawless Saber Technique. Hence, he needed to keep perfecting it.

As for the Yinyang Saber Formation, that was something that went in an entirely different direction. It corresponded with his understanding of Saber Techniques and formations. One focused on his personal saber Dao, and the other was a Saber Technique formation. The two did not clash; on the contrary, they supplemented each other.

Three days later, Xiao Chen came out of closed-door cultivation and heard the news of the Sword Sovereign Medallion getting taken away by a Demon.

He immediately thought of Chu Chaoyun.

Although there were many outstanding talents in the Demonic World and each of the eighteen Crown Scions was ridiculously strong and talented, it was impossible for any of them to surpass the Sword Sovereign in a discussion with swords. Only Chu Chaoyun could.

However, even if it was Chu Chaoyun, that did not have much to do with Xiao Chen for now. In fact, it was the second piece of news that made him frown.

Seven days ago, the experts of the Water Moon Alliance suffered heavy losses in the Savage Battlefield. The Crown Scions of the Blood Demon Royal Hall, Winged Demon Royal Hall, and the Fire Demon Royal Hall had worked together to lay a trap.

The Alliance Chief Bai Wuxue took the initiative to serve as the rearguard to ensure that the other members could retreat. He endured the attacks of the three Crown Scions and was severely wounded. Now, he was missing, his status unknown.

This battle was a heavy loss to the Tianwu Domain.

Previously, after the Holy Scions sided with the Deity Dao Union, the Tianwu Domain suffered from not having a leader. Everyone feared getting killed by Demons. However, Bai Wuxue appeared and banded everyone together, establishing the Water Moon Alliance.

Bai Wuxue instantly turned the situation between the humans and Demons in the Tianwu Domain around. Not only did he manage to stop the Demons from getting more arrogant, but he even hunted down many Demons.

However, after this battle, the Water Moon Alliance scattered. Bai Wuxue's status was unknown. All progress immediately regressed.

After that came a string of news about this. It turned out that the three Demon Royal Halls were in the Savage Battlefield for a forbidden land.

Ten thousand years ago, the Azure Emperor once killed a Demon Monarch and buried the bones in the Dragon Burial Mound. That Demon Monarch possessed a powerful Demon Sword known as Evil Shadow.

Now, the Dragon Burial Mound had tens of thousands of dragon graves appearing at the same time. The Demons took this as a sign of the Demon Sword's reappearance.

The Crown Scions of the three Demon Royal Halls were all here for this powerful Demon Sword. Surrounding the Water Moon Alliance and killing them was just a convenient diversion along the way.

However, the Dragon Burial Mound was immensely vast. No one knew how many dragon graves there were. No one knew which dragon grave this Demon Monarch's corpse was sealed under. Hence, the Crown Scions could only slowly search them.

Rumor said that the eighteen Demon Royal Halls would all be coming. These three Demon Royal Halls were just the vanguard. Anyone who could obtain this powerful sword would be the new leader of the Demonic World. After ascending to Demon Monarch, he would be the first-ranked Demon Monarch.

It was a great temptation. The Demon Royal Halls of the Demonic World were all filled with ambitious people. They would definitely come, no doubt about it.

The outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm naturally could not let the eighteen Demon Royal Halls obtain the Demon Sword. Chu Yang, the Heavenly Starry Ocean's leader, Sima Lingxuan, the Black Sea's leader, Xiao Bai, the Fiend Domain's leader, and the experts of the Deity Dao Union were all currently rushing to the Savage Battlefield.

The Dragon Burial Mound immediately became a no-man's-land. It was like a huge whirlpool with winds surging and clouds churning. A startlingly huge battle was imminent.

One could expect the reappearance of this Demon Sword to bring the tentative conflicts between the Kunlun Realm and the Deep Abyss Demonic World to a peak.

After this, this golden age would turn even more chaotic until the Demonic Calamity arrived. This chaotic age would only end after a battle to the death between the two realms.

Xiao Chen wanted to go far away from this no-man's-land. However, he made a promise to Wu Xiaotian, so he needed to hand the Eternal Ice to Bai Wuxue.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to go to the Savage Battlefield.
