Chapter 1383 (Raw 1374): Never Resting Even after Death
Am I dying?
At this moment, Xiao Chen did not feel any pain. He did not hear any sound, and the scene before him turned black and white.
He saw the tears in Mo Chen"s eyes, Yue Bingyun crying, and Xiao Bai launching herself over without a care for anything else. There were also Fang Baiyu, An Junxi, Ye Chen, and the other friends and seniors who fought for him; they all showed incredulous expressions.
For a long time now, Xiao Chen had great Luck. He survived many trials and tribulations, living until now.
However, this time, even though he possessed great Luck, he failed to dodge the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign"s attack while on the Emperor"s Road.
This path was simply too difficult. From the Sky Dome Realm to the Kunlun Realm. From being an unknown Supreme Sky Sect disciple to being the famous White Robed Bladesman, then to the Azure Dragon King that everyone knew. Xiao Chen felt truly tired.
Xiao Chen still remained as he was when he first arrived in the Kunlun Realm—merely an insignificant, nameless n.o.body.
The seven giants of the Tianwu Domain were aloof existences to him. Just one Bai Wuxue already placed a lot of pressure on him. He still remembered his first meeting with Di Wuque at the Kunlun Mountain"s Heavenly Dew Divine Spring, how strong and prideful Di Wuque"s eyes were.
Too many details of the past flashed by his eyes. At this moment right before Xiao Chen"s death, time moved especially slowly.
All sorts of scenes flashed. His beloved Liu Ruyue, his beautiful, confident Mo Chen, his father Xiao Xiong with their relations.h.i.+p mended.
Dissatisfying, truly dissatisfying. Falling at this final step, dying on this Emperor"s Road.
Looking at the Emperor"s Road covered in blood and the not-too-distant Emperor"s Door, Xiao Chen felt very dissatisfied in his heart.
Some people cried, some people laughed.
As the cultivators on the Deity Dao Union"s side saw Xiao Chen"s lifeforce fading away, they revealed joyful expressions. They won; Xiao Chen was dying. The Supreme Sky Sect"s momentum would fall greatly as the morale of that side dropped.
The reason was none other than the Supreme Sky Sect"s side losing their motivation to continue fighting. Who would be able to persevere and fight?
Before dying, Xiao Chen looked at the various scenes. His normally calm heart roiled at this moment.
He remembered his dreams, the promise he made on Qingyun Peak.
Am I going to give up?
No!
Absolutely not. I will ascend to the heavens, to the Emperor"s Gate. My hot-bloodedness will always exist, never resting even after death!
The light buried in Xiao Chen"s heart, which had never dimmed, flowed through his body, the never-extinguis.h.i.+ng hot-bloodedness. At this moment, it burst forth. He did not say anything, but he used his action to prove his determination.
"Clang!" The Lunar Shadow Saber stabbed into the b.l.o.o.d.y road, stopping Xiao Chen"s body from falling.
Xiao Chen"s body was already like cracked gla.s.s, broken beyond repair. His flesh, bones, and marrow flew about like shards of gla.s.s before being broken down by the wind and fire.
His lifeforce slowly dwindled. No matter how one looked at it, he was a dead man for sure.
However, Xiao Chen continued dragging his body in such a condition, still plodding forward on the b.l.o.o.d.y Emperor"s Road.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign hesitated for a moment but retracted his hand in the end. He still had not reached the point of making a move against a dead man.
Xiao Chen"s consciousness turned increasingly fuzzy, the scene becoming hazier and hazier. All the aura of life that he had vanished from his broken body.
"Plop!" Xiao Chen"s body toppled over, falling on the burning, b.l.o.o.d.y road.
"No!" Mo Chen, Yue Bingyun, and the other girls cried out, losing control of their emotions.
They could not help launching themselves towards the Emperor"s Road. However, before they could get closer, an invisible force knocked them back.
The b.l.o.o.d.y Emperor"s Road was a place that even the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could not approach. How could others possibly barge in?
Dead. Xiao Chen died…
The intense, miserable battle under the blood clouds immediately stopped. Everyone looked towards the Emperor"s Road, at the corpse on the Emperor"s Road. Their eyes all showed complicated expressions.
Even the Azure Dragon King"s opponents and enemies had to respect him. Xiao Chen was a true man.
Xiao Chen possessed overwhelming Luck, displaying shocking power. However, when he faced all his enemies at the same time, this b.l.o.o.d.y Emperor"s Road was simply too difficult.
The death of the Azure Dragon King marked the end of an age, the end of a legend.
