Chapter 1553 (Raw 1535): Decisive Battle with the Demonic God
At Kunlun Mountain, the Demonic God finally defeated the ten-thousand-year-old Demonic Corpse, the last remaining trump card of the Kunlun Realm.
No matter how strong the Demonic Corpse's physical body was, it would eventually crumble. Its injuries accumulated continuously. When they all erupted, the Demonic Corpse exploded into a pool of black blood.
As for the Demonic God, it remained undefeated. No matter how badly damaged its body got, it would quickly recover in very little time.
The Demonic God was terrifyingly strong, as well. The might of one punch could easily knock back a Prime.
No one could withstand a barrage of attacks from the Demonic God.
Xiao Chen was already very strong, yet he still had not managed to last long against the Demonic God earlier.
What more Ying Zongtian, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Spirit Fox King, and the other Primes?
"It's over!"
Upon seeing the ten-thousand-year-old Demonic Corpse, the last trump card, turn into a pool of bloody water, all the Kunlun Realm cultivators sighed in their hearts.
"Qitian, there is no need for you all to continue struggling."
The Earth Demon Monarch and the other Demonic World Primes stopped attacking. Their anxious hearts could finally rest.
Following this, they no longer needed to make a move. The Demonic God alone was sufficient to deal with the seven surviving Kunlun Realm Primes.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, Ying Zongtian, and the others remained silent and indifferent. During these final moments, they did not feel fear or despair. Instead, they felt that it was unfortunate…
Unfortunate that they could no longer look that these mountains and rivers. Unfortunate that they no longer had an opportunity to fight side by side with their many companions.
"Ying Zongtian, I'm sorry. In my entire life, I have never apologized. If I still do not, perhaps there will not be any more chances," the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said faintly. His expression showed some sorrow and helplessness.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign felt some regret as well. If he had not been so ambitious in the past, he would not have caused the Kunlun Realm to lose so much of its peak fighting force when Xiao Chen attempted his Great Tribulation of wind and fire.
Perhaps there might have been a chance to protect the Kunlun Realm in this battle.
Although the Demonic God was strong, if the Kunlun Realm had managed to kill all the other cultivators and Demonic Beasts of the Demonic World, the Demonic God alone would not be able to truly occupy the Kunlun Realm.
Ying Zongtian smiled and replied, "Alright. I'll forgive you. In my life, I had never forgiven anyone who committed such major mistakes. However, I won't let you die with regrets."
The remaining Primes of the Kunlun Realm stood by each other, preparing to withstand the final wave of attacks from the Demonic God.
--
Shui Lingling felt somewhat fatigued as she stood on the Profound Sun Bird. Her Primordial Energy was almost drained, and her mind was incredibly logy.
"Is it ending?"
An Junxi leaned against a boulder. He simply had no more strength to continue fighting. He needed to rest, and he also needed time to recover from his wounds.
Feng Xingsheng, Xuanyuan Zhantian, Mo Chen, and the other Dragon's Gate cultivators all showed helplessness and reluctance in their eyes.
At this moment, it was like the entire Kunlun Realm sighed.
Under the Demonic God's skin, thousands of faces squeezed in, changing continuously. Finally, it turned into the Thunder Sovereign's face and said, "Qitian, you thought that you have been competing with me all your life. Actually, from start to end, you have been dancing in the palm of my hand."
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said coldly, "Thunder Sovereign, if you have to make a move, do it quickly. Look at you now, neither human nor ghost. You probably cannot even die if you wanted to!"
"Humph! The dead have no qualification to mock me."
"Whoosh!"
Just at this moment, an intense beam of light came from the sky.
In reality, the light was not that intense. It was just that the demonic clouds had covered the sky for too long already. Everyone had not seen the sunlight for so long that the light felt extremely piercing and intense.
"Light? These demonic clouds are more than ten kilometers thick. Even I cannot pierce through it in one breath. Who did it?" Ying Zongtian exclaimed in shock as he looked up.
Amid the boundless darkness, that pillar of intense light immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The instant the light poured down, a white figure slowly descended in the middle of the pillar of light.
"It's Big Brother Xiao!"
"It's Xiao Chen, the White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen!"
"The Azure Dragon King is back!"
Those with good eyesight immediately saw the white-clad person's appearance clearly and could not help exclaiming.
"The Heavenly Dao is back! I can feel it!" The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, who had already resigned himself to death, suddenly became excited.
The Thunder Sovereign revealed a horrified expression and exclaimed, "How can this be?! He was already so severely injured. How did he recover so quickly?!"
The Thunder Sovereign could no longer be bothered with killing the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign. The gargantuan body of the Demonic God shrank steadily.
The Demonic God hastily released Demonic Might, taking the initiative to scatter some of its cultivation lest it get killed by the Heavenly Dao.
The pillar of light enlarged continuously. By the time Xiao Chen landed, the sky and the sun had already reappeared in the entire Profound Domain.
The demonic clouds were like the snow of winter, continuously melting as the sunlight spread. Soon, the demonic clouds, which covered the entire Kunlun Realm, had vanished.
It was like how righteousness would always triumph over evil. The darkness could not encase the entire land forever.
All it took was for one person to dare to stand out and make a hole. Then, the radiance of the Heavenly Dao filled the land again.
"My eyes! It's very piercing!"
"My strength is vanishing. I feel very tired…very sleepy."
"I'm sapped of energy."
"What's going on? Why did I suddenly age so much?"
"Why are my old injuries coming back?"
The countless Demonic World cultivators and Demonic Beasts were horrified to discover all sorts of terrifying troubles inflicting them. Several Demons even started crying in despair. Earlier, their minds were vigorous, and their bodies were very strong. However, in the next moment, their hair turned white, and wounds covered their bodies. No one could accept such a thing happening.
Since they exhausted their lifeforce and potential to heal their wounds and strengthen their combat prowess, the side effects would arrive sooner or later.
By tearing the demonic clouds apart and weakening the Demonic God, Xiao Chen just brought this moment forward.
"Saber!"
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and beckoned. The Lunar Shadow Saber, which he had stabbed into the battlefield earlier, turned into a beam of light and entered his grip.
Ao Jiao was not inside the saber. This stunned Xiao Chen for a moment. However, he could sense that she was still alive, so he did not worry about this for now.
Holding the saber horizontally, Xiao Chen sent out a saber light. A tyrannical aura that looked down on the world erupted from his body.
The saber light that shot out swept through the place. All the Demons and Demonic Beasts within fifty kilometers of Xiao Chen were cleared away.
"Dark Church's Church Master, do you dare to fight with me?!"
The saber light pulsated on Xiao Chen's saber as he held it up and pointed its tip at the Dark Church's Church Master. He gave off a strong aura that made everyone feel like he was a powerful sovereign of the saber, a king looking down on the world, all the lands and all the seas, indomitable.
"You will definitely be defeated. This time, the Heavenly Dao is not isolated. Those old monsters in the Azure Dragon Palace cannot come and save you now. I will make sure you die!"
The Demonic God assumed the size of a regular person. Its overwhelming Demonic Might was withdrawn and not showed. It gently pushed off the ground and arrived before Xiao Chen, not showing any fear.
At this moment, the thousands upon thousands of Demonic World cultivators and Demonic Beasts fell into chaos.
The Demon Race cultivators and Demonic Beasts that had already charged up the mountain all retreated in a fluster. The state of their bodies suddenly fell from the peak to rock-bottom. Furthermore, all sorts of injuries and the side effects of overdrawing their potential were erupting. In fact, they became even weaker than a regular person, no better than lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The Kunlun War Banner rose behind Xiao Chen once more, fluttering loudly in the strong wind.
As long as the war banner did not fall, it was like a roaring flame that ignited the hot-bloodedness in everyone's hearts, turning them into flames that blazed strongly.
"We cannot let them get away so easily!"
Anger flared in An Junxi's eyes. He was already completely sapped of energy. However, he gritted his teeth and eventually managed to stand up, although still trembling.
The fatigued Kunlun Realm cultivators all gritted their teeth and clutched their weapons, charging over on their last breath.
Although the Kunlun Realm cultivators were injured and tired, they had not overdrawn their potential. Hence, they did not suffer from any side effects as the Demons did.
Before the Kunlun Realm cultivators, the Demons could not put up any sort of resistance whatsoever. They all fled in a fluster, breaking their formations.
At every moment, miserable shrieks resounded. These were the shrieks of the Demons. Kindness would be repaid with kindness and evil with evil. It was not that one did not suffer retribution, just that it was not time yet.
After killing so many people of the Kunlun Realm, the time had come for their retribution.
When Xiao Chen heard the shrieks, his expression did not change. He looked coldly at the Demonic God and said, "This is their retribution. Soon, it will be your turn."
"Humph! Do you think that by letting the Heavenly Dao appear once more, you can kill me? Let me tell you this: I cannot die. As long as I'm around, this battle will never end."
The Thunder Sovereign's eyes appeared somewhat crazed. As it looked at Xiao Chen, its eyes were so filled with hatred that they were on the verge of popping out.
The Thunder Sovereign was just one step short of killing all the Primes of the Kunlun Realm and obtaining the Rock of Origin.
However, Xiao Chen's reappearance shattered the Thunder Sovereign's dreams. The situation on the battlefield also reversed.
"You little bastard! You are even more hateful than that Azure Emperor. If not for lack of choice, would I have let you grow into a potential source of trouble? However, since you did not cherish this chance, then I shall not show any mercy. Die!"
The Demonic God leaped into the air and punched. Overwhelming Demonic Might erupted from its fist.
This Demonic Might was so strong that with just it alone, the Demonic God could push back a Prime.
"Show mercy? You'd best put in your full power. Otherwise, you will die very quickly."
Xiao Chen casually hacked with his saber, not showing any fear of the other party. He clashed head-on, not dodging or avoiding.
"Dang!"
The fist and saber clashed, producing a loud 'clang.' Both of them moved back, appearing equal.
Blood leaked out between Xiao Chen's lips. Then, he shifted to a two-handed grip as he gazed at the other party coldly.
The Demonic God possessed by the Thunder Sovereign was stunned. However, when it saw the blood on Xiao Chen's lips, it laughed, "How surprising! You already became this strong. Unfortunately, I cannot die. Your body is now your greatest weakness!"
Amid loud laughter, black sparks flew out from its fingertips.
With every step the Demonic God took, a black lotus flower appeared under its feet. As the lotus flowers flew about, the Demonic God executed Thunder Hell.
This Thunder Hell was even stronger than the one that the Thunder Sovereign executed before.
"Flawless Saber Technique, Heaven Swallowing Stance!"
Xiao Chen sent out a saber light as he brandished his saber. Countless mysterious phenomena came from his body. There were bright moons, snowflakes, lightning dragons, blazing suns, and boundless saber lights.
Everything that Xiao Chen comprehended in his life came out and eventually turned into a huge dragon head.
This dragon head opened its huge mouth and consumed all the lotus flowers, black lightning, and the various negative emotions.
"What Martial Technique is this?!"
The disappearance of all the Thunder Hell and lotus flower mysterious phenomena greatly startled the Thunder Sovereign.
"Here, I'll return it to you!" Xiao Chen shouted and spun the saber in his hand around, sending out a pure black saber light that contained lightning and negative emotions.
"Pu ci!"
The Thunder Sovereign vomited black blood as its body was chopped in half by the saber light made of its own Thunder Hell.
Although the Demonic God's body recovered continuously, the Thunder Sovereign felt an unprecedented worry as it looked at Xiao Chen's eyes.
The Thunder Sovereign saw a strong self-confidence and a hatred that even the skies and seas could not contain in those eyes!
