Chapter 1526 (Raw 1508): Azure Dragon War Body
Xiao Chen vaguely felt that he had seen this pair of eyes somewhere before .
However, he could not recall where just then . Anyhow, this was not the time to think about it; he wanted to see the results .
Actually, Xiao Chen already had a rough idea in his heart . He was just not willing to dwell on it or speculate .
Right now, all he wanted to see was the result, whether the Divine Lightning Eye managed to injure the other party severely or not .
With three lightning tribulations layered over each other, no one could look directly at the piercing electric light . Everyone either closed their eyes or squinted against this intense light .
Only Xiao Chen did not close his eyes . Instead, he opened them as well as his Heavenly Eye wide .
Even though the electric light was dazzling, he wanted to see the result clearly . Even if the intense light injured him, he did not care!
“Bang!”
The lightning tribulation struck the Treasure Master’s body; he could not dodge it at all . In fact, the Treasure Master did not even try dodging .
The huge electric energy exploded, the force knocking away the surrounding Immortal statues .
A mist rose up from the copious amount of seawater that the electric energy had instantly evaporated .
Sparks crackled and flickered nonstop in the mist .
With the reflection and refraction in the mist, the sparks flas.h.i.+ng with resplendent light lent the mist the appearance of glazed tiles .
No one could clearly see what happened inside . No one knew whether the Treasure Master was dead or alive .
“Is he dead?” someone whispered . The world was strangely quiet, scarily so .
“Even if he is not dead, he has to be severely injured, at least . ”
“It would be best if he was dead . This fellow killed an unknown number of people from the Heavenly Starry Ocean . He also captured and took away many cultivators . I heard that they would be used as sacrifices . ”
The crowd discussed in whispers; no one dared to speak loudly .
The Cyclic Astral Lord frowned and said, “This is very strange . There is such a vast amount of electric energy, but yet it exploded so quickly . ”
“That’s right . The shock waves are also rather small . ” The Myriad-Law Fiend Master nodded in agreement .
“This feels somewhat strange . ”
The experts would always be able to see things from a different angle . The three Primes felt that this situation was rather strange .
The power of three lightning tribulations layered over each other, such a force terrified even Primes . After exploding, the shock waves should, at the very least, sweep across Heavenly Dragon City .
However, in reality, the shockwaves radiated less than one kilometer from the Treasure Master .
Xiao Chen felt somewhat impatient . He stretched out his right hand and swept the air .
“Whoos.h.!.+”
This seemingly ordinary wave burst forth with a shocking amount of force . Seven thousand dragon-shaped strands of energy appeared behind him .
Xiao Chen’s Vital Qi had reached seven thousand Dragon Force, only three thousand less than the Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Corpse G.o.d’s .
This gentle wave pushed away the mist like he was sweeping water away .
Such a scene shocked everyone once more . Seven thousand Dragon Force was already something very horrifying . Furthermore, Xiao Chen could use it so proficiently, exerting such fine control of it . This was truly incredible .
Could it be that this seven thousand Dragon Force was just the tip of the iceberg?
The more shocking thing had yet to come . However, it was not Xiao Chen that shocked but the result that was revealed when the mist dispersed .
When the mist scattered and revealed the Treasure Master’s true body, he seemed entirely unscathed, still showing a flouris.h.i.+ng aura .
“Not bad! Unfortunately, you are not able to truly injure me . ” The Treasure Master spoke calmly like he was unaffected .
“How can that be possible?!”
Everyone was in disbelief . With such a strong lightning tribulation, how could the Treasure Master not be injured at all?
Even if the Treasure Master did not die, he had to be severely injured, at least .
This was what everyone expected . Even the three Primes were stunned . At the same time, despair appeared . Even such a strong lightning tribulation could not injure the Treasure Master .
Was there still hope of victory?
Only Xiao Chen remained equally calm . He just closed his eyes in disappointment .
When Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, the disappointment was gone . In its place, it was an unfathomable gleam that made them look like a thousand-year-old frozen pond .
“Mo Chen, let’s go!” Xiao Chen said without turning his head, continuing to stare at the Treasure Master .
Mo Chen felt somewhat put in a spot, so she said, “I tried it once, but the seventeen Immortal statues attacked together, preventing me from doing it . ”
“Don’t worry . We can leave . ”
After obtaining Xiao Chen’s promise, Mo Chen soared into the air . Then, she used the formation plate in her hand to activate the formation again, controlling Heavenly Star Island together with tens of thousands of Dragon’s Gate disciples to raise it into the air anew .
“It is not up to you to say whether you can go or not; it is up to me,” the Treasure Master said casually, still maintaining the haze that prevented others from clearly seeing his face .
The seventeen Immortal statues leaped together . They were clearly as ma.s.sive as mountains, but when they moved, they were like crafty rabbits, swift and nimble .
“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”
This time, the seventeen Immortal statues were even more violent and direct . Each of them raised a foot to ruthlessly stomp on Heavenly Star Island’s light barrier .
After suffering many attacks already, if the light barrier was struck again, it would probably shatter on the spot .
Mo Chen, who was the primary person maintaining the barrier, would bear the brunt of the backlash . She would be severely injured and might even die .
“Seniors, please help me distract the Treasure Master for a while,” Xiao Chen said hurriedly before shooting out, going beyond the light barrier .
With a thought, he clenched his fists tightly . The instant he did that, Vital Qi surged in his body, forming countless dragon-shaped strands of energy around his body in a dense pack that roared continuously .
Ten thousand Dragon Force!
When the three Primes saw this clearly, they were all startled . The Vital Qi that Xiao Chen displayed was actually about the same as the Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Corpse G.o.d’s .
“What a fellow! What exactly did he experience in the Azure Dragon Palace?!” the Cyclic Astral Lord exclaimed in shock .
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master muttered, “I feel like he underwent some kind of metamorphosis . If we were to say that his cultivation broke through the shackles previously, now, his physical body has broken through the fetters of the Kunlun Realm . ”
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master was right . The Vital Qi Dao was also quite common in the Great Thousand Realms outside the Kunlun Realm .
Several cultivators attained the Dao through their physical body, specially cultivating Vital Qi . After they became powerful, they could rule their own areas as supreme beings . The power of one strike could even shatter a star .
The Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Corpse G.o.d advanced to Prime by means of his physical body, reaching ten thousand Dragon Force . However, he also met a bottleneck, unable to cultivate further .
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, was different . The medicinal pool of the Azure Dragon Palace was ancient . It was for the coming-of-age rite of pure-blooded True Dragons . Once one succeeded in soaking in it, one would undergo a rebirth .
The essence blood of ancient ferocious beasts was much more precious than Xiao Chen imagined, a thousand—ten thousand—times more .
It looked like the Immortal statues’ feet were about to trample Heavenly Star Island in the air when Xiao Chen roared .
Ten thousand Dragon Force gathered quickly above Xiao Chen’s head . At the center of the ten thousand dragon images, there was no light, just a savage aura flowing, appearing very plain and natural .
“Boom!”
Before everyone’s eyes, the ten thousand Dragon Force formed a three-legged treasure cauldron with vague dragon motifs on it .
Ten thousand Dragon Force gathered into one Cauldron Force .
Outside the abandoned land, ten thousand Dragon Force was a bottleneck for cultivators who cultivated Vital Qi . Beyond this bottleneck lay a whole new realm .
During the Great Desolate Eon, when ten thousand races fought, every strong tribe would forge a cauldron to symbolize their power and prosperity .
Each of such treasure cauldrons was forged out of mountains and rivers, stars, divine metal, or bones of ancient ferocious beasts .
Cauldrons were the symbol of glory and authority . Emperors wors.h.i.+ped it, which later resulted in it taking on a divine characteristic .
During that eon, cauldrons were a measure of strength . One Cauldron Force equaled ten thousand Dragon Force .
More importantly, this was a qualitative improvement, the mark of a certain level of control over Vital Qi .
When the three-legged dragon cauldron formed, the Treasure Master’s expression immediately changed drastically . He took out the Puppet Pearl and sent a thought into it to get the Immortal statues to retreat .
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Xiao Chen threw seventeen punches . To others, it looked like he sent out seventeen clones, each of them punching at the same time .
However, in reality, it was just Xiao Chen punching too fast, which created the illusion of simultaneous punches .
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Every time Xiao Chen punched, a three-legged dragon cauldron flew out from his fist . The dragon cauldrons contained an ancient aura from the Great Desolate Eon, vaguely flickering with a divine light .
“Crack! Crack!” Crackling rang out . Half the leg of every Immortal statue immediately broke off, looking like a small mountain as they fell .
The seventeen Immortal statues were knocked back at the same time and splashed into the sea, kicking up huge waves .
After throwing seventeen punches in rapid succession, Xiao Chen felt somewhat fatigued . So, he circled around and landed at the city gate .
“Azure Dragon War Body…” the Treasure Master muttered to himself, making a rather complicated expression . That person who swept across the place ten thousand years ago, using the Demonic Dao to obtain the Dao, had also possessed the Azure Dragon War Body .
Ten thousand years later, the Treasure Master saw the Azure Dragon War Body once more, an Azure Dragon War Body that was clearly even stronger than the one he had seen before .
