Chapter 1460 (Raw 1440): Wanton and Unrestrained

Xiao Chen led one thousand bladesmen charging out of the painting. Any ordinary person would have ended up embroiled in a bitter fight.

Not to mention injuries, they would at least be mentally fatigued. After breaking out of the painting, they could only let others kill them.

However, Xiao Chen was an exception; he had the Yinyang Saber Formation. Against the large army, he used the might of one thousand people and the Yinyang Saber Formation, forcefully killing a path out and breaking out of the painting.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The one thousand bladesmen stood upright while holding their sabers, surrounding the two Immortal Venerates.

The aimed saber tips, spreading killing Qi, and cold soldiers caused the temperature of this blood lake to plummet. Strands of cold Qi wafted up from the surface of the lake, making one feel afraid.

"Senior Brother Tian Yi, one hour is almost over. If we keep delaying, the flowers will descend. The consequences will be dire."

Surrounded by one thousand bladesmen, Immortal Venerate Ming Yue and Immortal Venerate Tian Yi felt very anxious. However, the formation before them was not the most worrying thing. The greater danger was the thousands of Void Hell Flowers hovering above them.

Every Void Hell Flower had an exceedingly condensed Extreme Yang True Flame. Just the thought of these thousands of Extreme Yang True Flames exploding together made one tremble in fear.

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi's expression turned grave as well. As he looked at Xiao Chen, who was seated on a throne behind the bladesmen, he frowned.

This Shadowless Saber Sovereign was simply too difficult to deal with—more difficult than a regular Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor, which Immortal Venerate Tian Yi would be able to suppress on his own.

With Immortal Venerate Ming Yue working together with him, suppressing a regular Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor would be even easier, like taking candy from a baby.

However, this Shadowless Saber Sovereign seemed to have many backup plans and could always break or block their various Magic Skills.

This was not due to Xiao Chen being as strong as a Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor but to his many trump cards. Furthermore, he dual-cultivated Immortal Cultivation and Martial Cultivation. These two Immortal Venerates could not suppress him by using Immortal Arts alone; they were far from being that capable.

Xiao Chen, who was seated on the throne, looked at the two Immortal Venerates and said, "I have no grudges with the two of you. I was just asked by someone to protect this coffin. I hope that the two Immortal Venerates can leave things at this and stop here."

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi snorted coldly and retorted, "The Shadowless Saber Sovereign is really generous. However, your thousand-man saber formation is a great drain. After charging out of the painting, you probably cannot maintain this for much longer. That's why you are saying this."

Xiao Chen said, "You guessed right. However, I did not intend to hide that in the first place. I'll repeat myself. You will not be able to stop me if I want to leave. There is no need to do anything more; it would not do anyone any good."

"You can leave, but you must leave the coffin behind!"

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi's tone was determined and decisive; there was no room for negotiation.

"You think you can stop me?"

Xiao Chen smiled coldly, and the Yinyang Saber Formation immediately formed. A huge Taiji diagram appeared on the blood lake.

The one thousand bladesmen split into two groups of five hundred. Their auras merged, appearing like the Yin and Yang spots of the Taiji diagram. Each group took one side as they moved about like two dragons.

As the formation activated, a huge pressure bore down on Immortal Venerate Ming Yue and Immortal Venerate Tian Yi.

Every time the dragons moved one round, the pressure on the two grew heavier like a burgeoning invisible mountain.

Beads of sweat fell from Immortal Venerate Ming Yue's forehead in incredible nervousness. The two dragons moving about were like huge sabers placed against his neck.

The Taiji Saber Domain under the two Immortal Venerates' feet formlessly held them immobile.

These two Immortal Venerates were not good at Movement Techniques in the first place, which made things even harder for them in the Taiji Saber Domain. Once the saber formation completely activated, if their protective Magic Treasures could not block it, their physical bodies might be destroyed.

Immortal Cultivators were really strong. However, once their weakness was targeted, they would be extremely weak.

"It looks like we underestimated you. However, if you are really that bold, feel free to attack. With just a thought from me, everyone will die here."

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi had not expected that Xiao Chen could maintain such a huge saber formation. While he was surprised, he did not fear this imminent danger and did not shrink from it.

"Is that so? What other trump cards do you have? With just one strike, I can shatter your protective Magic Treasures. Given my speed, I can destroy your physical bodies in one breath of time."

Xiao Chen added indifferently, "As I said before, I do not want to become enemies with the two of you. As long as you are willing to let me go, everything else can be negotiated."

The current situation made Xiao Chen feel conflicted. If he dismissed the saber formation and left, he would end up putting distance between himself and the two. At that time, if he wanted to leave, he would have to fight again like earlier, getting exhausted by the other party's various Magic Skills.

However, he hesitated to kill these two people. After all, he still wanted to go to the Penglai Sea in the future and thus should not completely fall out with them.

Furthermore, Xiao Chen was forcefully maintaining this saber formation now. If he really attacked, he would overdraw on his Magic Energy. His mind would enter an extremely fatigued state.

There were many considerations. However, if the other party insisted on fighting, Xiao Chen could only steel himself to kill.

"Look up at the flames of the flower petals in the air. Those are condensed Extreme Yang True Flames personally refined by the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady. Just a bit of that flame can heavily injure a First Heaven Martial Emperor.

"With ten thousand of them exploding at the same time, aside from Primes, no one will survive. Even if your physical body is already comparable to that of a peak Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor, you can forget about leaving alive," Immortal Venerate Tian Yi said as he stepped forward, looking coldly at Xiao Chen.

"As you also know, Immortal Cultivators have Yuanyings. Even if our physical bodies are destroyed, our Yuanyings can allow us to come back to life. Shadowless Saber Sovereign, you do not have the capital to make this gamble!"

Immortal Venerate Tian Yi appeared imposing. Even though Xiao Chen held the upper hand here, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi still was so overbearing.

What he said is true. Perhaps it is fated. After I died, I still have to suffer such a calamity.

The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's voice rang out softly beside Xiao Chen's ear. Her meaning was clear; she was hinting for Xiao Chen to give up.

Then, Xiao Chen looked up at the thousands of flower petals above. Indeed, there was an ancient lamp pulling on all the petals. His expression appeared uncertain as he muttered to himself.

Immortal Venerate Ming Yue released his bated breath, somewhat in awe of his senior brother. In the end, it was his senior brother who could hold his patience. However, when an Immortal Cultivator used their Yuanying to come back to life, they would also suffer great loss.

They would have to switch to another body and cultivate again from the start. They would definitely not be able to cultivate back to an Immortal Venerate.

"You have ten seconds to consider. After ten seconds, whether you agree or not, I will make the Magic Treasure drop the ten thousand flowers in the air."

After Immortal Venerate Tian Yi said that, he stared at Xiao Chen. For the sake of the millions of Immortal Cultivators in the Penglai Sea, he needed to make this gamble.

If he was not ruthless to himself, how could he speak of hope?

This was now a chaotic age. This Immortal Venerate Tian Yi was definitely an ambitious and ruthless character. Not everyone had such boldness.

"There's no need. Instead, I'll give you three seconds to think. Either you agree to let me go, or I'll immediately attack. You are free to take a gamble, to gamble whether I can destroy your Yuanyings before the ten thousand flowers fall."

Xiao Chen never liked letting others hold the initiative, much less being threatened by them.

You want to gamble? Let's gamble!

"One…two…"

After saying that, Xiao Chen started counting. He did not give Immortal Venerate Tian Yi any time to react to what he said.

How did it turn out like this?! Immortal Venerate Tian Yi's previously calm expression turned somewhat flustered.

"Three!"

Xiao Chen had no intention of bluffing. He quickly finished the count to three. Then, he activated the Yinyang Saber Formation at full power. The two True Dragons made of saber intent charged at the two Immortal Venerates.

Seeing that the huge dragons made of boundless saber intent were about to swallow up their physical bodies, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi finally could not endure and shouted, "Stop! We are willing to let you go!"

"It's too late. If you had thought of this earlier, there would not be any need to force my hand," Xiao Chen said expressionlessly from the throne.

Xiao Chen still had not reached the point of being able to control such a huge saber formation at will. Forcefully stopping it would rebound on him.

Furthermore, he never thought of stopping.

Xiao Chen was calm and decisive. However, his bones hid a wanton and unrestrained character that was not inferior to any other outstanding talent's. If one was restrained by worries in everything one did, what was the point of living?

Since you want to play big, let's go bigger. Let's see who is the one who cannot afford to gamble!

"Shadowless Saber Sovereign, this old man shall grant your wish, then!"

Right before being swallowed by the saber dragon, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi roared hoarsely, and the ancient lamp instantly shattered.

The ten thousand flower petals drifted down, looking like snowflakes as they carried the lethal Extreme Yang True Flames down.
