Chapter 1431 (Raw 1421): I Just Woke Up; Don"t Bother Me
Just as the ice was about to disappear, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. This time, he had slept for so long that he felt slightly dizzy.
However, in the next moment, all his discomfort vanished. In the face of danger, his body"s instinct catapulted him into a knife-edge state.
Without Xiao Chen needing to think about it or decide, the surging saber intent in his body, as well as his one thousand strands of Primordial Energy, all burst out in a heartbeat.
Due to the body"s instinct—the body"s perception of danger coming from experiencing thousands of battles—Xiao Chen"s body unleashed all its potential.
"Boom!"
The shattered ice melted, and the saber intent infused with one thousand strands of Primordial Energy erupted ferociously at this moment, turning into a saber light as resplendent as the sun. It soared towards the clouds and pierced the barrier of the sky within one breath of time.
At the very front, Di Wuque and the Celestial Demon Crown Scion, who were the closest to the ice sculpture, could not understand at all what was going on.
The puissant saber intent blasted Di Wuque and the Celestial Demon Crown Scion into the air. The horrific saber intent continued outwards. Then, it rammed into all those charging towards Xiao Chen: the many Demon Crown Scions and the Deity Dao Union"s Xia Houjue, Feng Wuji, the twelve Keepers, and the many outstanding talents.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Caught off guard, the various Demon Crown Scions and the outstanding talents went flying and vomited blood. When they landed, huge, deep craters appeared where they crashed.
Di Wuque and the Celestial Demon Crown Scion floated gently to the ground and landed stably. However, some blood leaked out of the corners of their lips.
The eruption of saber intent was overwhelmingly strong. Since it caught them off guard, it instantly suppressed the two"s auras. If not for the two being Sovereign Martial Emperors, their injuries would have been even worse than those of the outstanding talents.
"What"s going on? The ancient powerhouse came back to life?"
"He truly lives up to being a powerhouse that could ride around on a throne during the peak of the Martial Dao. Even after a million years, he still can knock so many outstanding talents away."
"How scary! I cannot control my saber."
"My saber is trembling; it is afraid."
The piercing saber light dazzled everyone; they did not dare to look directly at it. However, due to how shocking it was, the many cultivators in the periphery could not suppress the curiosity in their hearts; they squinted despite themselves in an attempt to see.
These cultivators wanted to see the ancient powerhouse within the saber light, to see what kind of existence he was exactly.
"Crack! Crack!"
Just at this moment, the sabers in the hands of the bladesmen in the Dragon Burial Mound all shattered. Several cultivators were shocked and felt heartache. This was somewhat incredible.
This scene flabbergasted everyone. Even Di Wuque and the Celestial Demon Crown Scion could not help moving back warily.
"Could it be zombification?" the Celestial Demon Crown Scion muttered to himself. He did not know whether if this was possible for someone sealed in ice for a million years and left in an ominous land.
However, if the ancient powerhouse zombified, it would be problematic. If a supreme being from the peak of the Martial Epoch zombified, even a Prime might not be able to stop him.
If this being zombified, everyone here would die.
Di Wuque infused Mental Energy into his eyes, wanting to see what kind of existence exactly was behind this saber light. His eyes burned like they were fire.
However, all he saw was a vast ocean—a vast ocean of saber intent.
What pain! Di Wuque"s eyes bled. He had accidentally touched the core existence within the saber light, and his eyes were immediately injured.
What exactly is that? Even after a million years, it still can give off such a strong saber intent. What kind of horrible existence was this when it was alive?
Di Wuque trembled in fear when he thought about this.
Further away, Xiao Bai fixed her elegant eyes on the saber light, unwilling to look away. Why is it so familiar? This is clearly a senior predecessor from a million years ago. How could I have been born a million years ago?
"Chu Chaoyun, what"s going on?!" Far away, Yao Manlan asked Chu Chaoyun, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.
However, Chu Chaoyun, who always had an answer for everything, was silent at the moment. He could not figure out what was going on, either.
The saber light slowly faded away. This was the saber intent that Xiao Chen erupted with at full power, infused with his Primordial Energy, so he could not maintain it for long.
Xiao Chen did not know what was happening; he did not even see anything clearly. He only instinctively sensed a threat.
If he did not release his full power, this threat might even take his life, leaving him to fall here.
Sensing that that lethal threat was gone, Xiao Chen scattered the saber intent. However, he did not relax his guard at all.
"The saber light is scattering!"
"The ancient predecessor is coming out?!"
"Soon, we will know whether he is dead or alive. This is really exciting. While I am alive, I actually can see an ancient predecessor!"
However, when the saber light completely vanished, the Cycle Throne, the seven Divine Weapons on its back, and Xiao Chen, who was seated on the throne, came into view.
"The Shadowless Saber Sovereign!"
Everyone went crazy. Several of the cultivators who had seen the Shadowless Saber Sovereign before were present. This image of his was also widely known.
Wearing a mask and riding on a black throne with seven Divine Weapons behind the throne. If there was only one aspect that was the same, it might have just been a coincidence. However, with everything matching up, who else could this be if not the Shadowless Saber Sovereign?!
"You…! Acting all mysterious. Are you trying to mess with me?!"
Di Wuque, who always considered himself the one favored by Luck, was angered into trembling. Unexpectedly, he was fooled by a living person.
All those Demon Crown Scions and the Deity Dao Union"s outstanding talents who had fought so desperately for the ice sculpture were all incredibly angered as well.
Furthermore, the Demon Crown Scions possessed an implacable hatred for the Shadowless Saber Sovereign in the first place.
Without saying anything else, the Celestial Demon Crown Scion immediately ordered, "Kill him!"
Di Wuque also said coldly, "All those who dared to mess with me, aside from one living cripple, have died. Kill him!"
All the Demon Crown Scions and Deity Dao Union"s outstanding talents promptly flew up at the same time. They actually banded together in pursuit of a common goal.
However, while these people were angry, Xiao Chen was even angrier!
After sleeping for who knew how long, the moment Xiao Chen woke up, he was surrounded and attacked for some reason. After he swallowed his anger with much difficulty, before he could say a word, a group of people launched themselves over.
What is the meaning of this? Do they take me as someone soft whom they can bully any time they want?
That will not happen. This did not happen to the Azure Dragon King in the past. All the more it won"t happen to the Shadowless Saber Sovereign now!
"This is endless!"
On the throne, Xiao Chen, who had not truly gotten angry for three years, got angry this time. He ferociously and heavily slapped the black dragon armrest, and the surroundings trembled.
The seven Divine Weapons unsheathed at the same time, heading in seven different directions and materializing the seven moves of the Flawless Saber Technique.
Void Breaking Stance!
Pride burst forth with a thirty-kilometer-long saber light that was as resplendent as the sun. Then, as if it teleported, it suddenly appeared before the Flower Demon Crown Scion. Before this Demon Crown Scion could cry out, Pride broke through her defense and stabbed her chest.
"Boom!" Pride sent the Flower Demon Crown Scion flying and firmly pinned her to the ground.
Dragon Subduing Stance!
Wrath flew forward in a rage. As it flew, it materialized the might of one thousand dragons. Everywhere it pa.s.sed, a sea of blood surged. Even after beheading three Keepers in succession, it kept going and impaled Xia Houjue without losing any momentum.
Falling Moon Stance!
Saber light flickered. A bright moon fell to the ground, and a figure soared in the air. Several Deity Dao Union outstanding talents got blasted away by this falling moon.
The seven moves of the Flawless Saber Technique were executed one by one. With each strike, there would be a startling mysterious phenomenon and outstanding talents falling.
The seventh move finished with Gluttony executing the Heaven Swallowing Stance. This saber swallowed the remaining attacks of the outstanding talents and Demon Crown Scions, drowning these in the Flawless Saber Dao until they vanished into nothing.
It seemed like a long time pa.s.sed, but all this actually took place in only two or three breaths of time. The seven Divine Weapons attacked simultaneously. It was just that the moves took different amounts of time to complete.
After Gluttony dropped and transfixed the Star Demon Crown Scion to the ground, not a single figure remained around Xiao Chen. They were either scared away or so injured that they could not get up from the ground, crying out in agony.
The surroundings fell silent. Only the moaning of the desolate wind and the saber hum hidden in the wind remained in the huge Dragon Burial Mound.
Everyone was stupefied by this scene. The Celestial Demon Crown Scion and Di Wuque goggled at all this, their minds temporarily blank.
"I just woke up. Don"t bother me again."
On the throne, Xiao Chen rubbed his head. Even now, he still did not understand what had happened. He only wanted a bit of quiet. He waved his hand, and the seven Divine Weapons returned to their sheaths; then, the throne soared into the air, carrying him up.
