Chapter 1529 (Raw 1511): Reinforcements Arrive
Xiao Chen destroyed an arm of the Celestial Demon Monarch with one punch . His strength shocked everyone .
“Attack! Kill him!” the Celestial Demon Monarch roared furiously, utterly discomfited . Flesh regrew on the stump of his arm, his injury healing at a visible rate .
The physical bodies of the Demon Races recovered faster than those of the various races of the Kunlun Realm . Furthermore, the Celestial Demon Monarch was a Prime-level existence . Hence, his recovery rate was even better .
However, even if he managed to regrow this arm now, he would need at least one month before he could regain his peak condition and use it as he pleased .
The regeneration of flesh always required some time, and the body could not recover back to normal so quickly .
With one arm crippled, the Celestial Demon Monarch’s combat prowess dropped by at least twenty percent—all the more he would not pose a threat to Xiao Chen .
When the chaotic battle began, Xiao Chen led the charge, attacking the Thunder Demon Monarch like a lightning bolt .
After that, the Iron Demon Monarch charged into close quarters, and the Winged Demon Monarch flapped his wings and came over, as well, to hara.s.s Xiao Chen .
The Shadow Demon Monarch moved unpredictably like a phantom, repeatedly sneak-attacking Xiao Chen, something very frustrating .
The Ice Demon Monarch wielded an ice sword, clas.h.i.+ng head-on with Xiao Chen together with the Iron Demon Monarch .
The three Primes quickly joined the battle, helping Xiao Chen shoulder some of the pressure .
However, the three’s strength was limited in the end . Even after going all out, they could only delay five Demon Monarchs, most of whom were not Primes .
Xiao Chen alone faced six Primes and seven Holy-Master-level Demon Monarchs in the air .
Thirteen Demon Monarchs surrounded Xiao Chen, the battle turning the sky dark . Although his cultivation surpa.s.sed Prime and he had the horrifying Azure Dragon War Body, he still faced impossible odds .
Compared to the Immortal statues, the Demon Monarchs possessed much more means and methods . They knew how to hara.s.s, sneak-attack, and be flexible with their Martial Techniques . Their advances and retreats were orderly, cooperating with each other . Such combat prowess was beyond the Immortal statues .
More importantly, all the Demon Monarchs had protective Secret Treasures . It was very hard to inflict serious injury on the other party quickly .
The surrounded Xiao Chen was not in a good situation . He was in extreme danger, but he did his best to hold on, not sustaining any truly severe injuries .
The one that clashed with Xiao Chen the most was the Iron Demon Monarch . This Iron Demon was the one that he met before, the Iron Demon that rescued him in the Savage Battlefield in the past .
“It has just been about half a year, yet your punches have become much heavier . They really hurt . I really should not have saved you back then . ”
Now, Xiao Chen could punch with one Cauldron Force of strength . Even the Iron Demon, whose physical body was naturally strong, could not endure Xiao Chen’s blows .
After receiving a relentless pummeling, the Iron Demon was in incredible pain, some of his saliva dribbling out involuntarily .
“Even if you did not make a move to save me, I still could have escaped the three Holy Masters . It would just have been more troublesome . However, you managed to become a Demon Monarch after returning . You really should thank me . ”
“Hahaha! Great! I’ll give you a punch to thank you properly, then!”
The Iron Demon Monarch laughed loudly . Then, his metallic figure suddenly glowed with a faint light .
A Martial Technique?
Xiao Chen’s eyes sank . A being like the Iron Demon actually learned a Martial Technique . However, when he thought about it, it was not really strange . This Iron Demon before him had gained intelligence and could understand things .
The Iron Demon’s heavy fist approached like a ferocious beast . As he punched, boundless b.e.s.t.i.a.l roars rang out . It was like an ancient ferocious beast reappearing in the world and roaring .
Xiao Chen dodged the many hara.s.sment and sneak attacks . Having been forced back by the Ice Demon Monarch, he had no choice but to meet this punch head-on .
Xiao Chen merged his Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi . Then, Dao Might appeared behind him as he infused Great Dao Energy into his fist .
In the end, in terms of sharpness, a saber was slightly weaker than a sword . However, in terms of tyranny, it was the king of weapons .
After the Great Dao Energy of the Saber Dao infused into this punch, Xiao Chen’s ordinary punch became very tyrannical . An aura of supremacy in the world burst out from Xiao Chen .
As for a being like the Iron Demon, they were born with an innately tyrannical body that weapons could not penetrate . However, they were stupid by nature and practically had zero comprehension ability . However, this Iron Demon Monarch before Xiao Chen was an aberrant .
The Martial Technique that the Iron Demon executed was not only extremely ferocious but also incredibly smooth . Clearly, he already practiced it to the peak .
Unfortunately, this Iron Demon met Xiao Chen, the Xiao Chen who already attained the Azure Dragon War Body . From the moment he started clas.h.i.+ng with Xiao Chen, he was doomed to lose . He could only lament the fact that he was born in the wrong era .
“Bang!”
The two fists clashed and caused a loud report . The Iron Demon Monarch immediately got blasted back, the surface of his body crazing . Black blood leaked out, his skin seemingly covered in black patterns . This looked very terrifying .
“Not bad . Many thanks for your present . ”
Xiao Chen moved back one hundred meters, his palm somewhat numb . Although he knocked back the Iron Demon Monarch, the force of the other party was quite significant as well .
“Die!”
Taking advantage of Xiao Chen getting knocked back, the other twelve Demon Monarchs charged towards him and attacked at the same time, as though they were thinking in sync .
The Ice Demon Monarch produced a huge ice sword light . Everywhere the edge of this sword pa.s.sed, cold Qi spread out . The tip of the sword flickered with starlight, looking boundlessly resplendent .
The Winged Demon Monarch kicked up a strong wind, creating many tornadoes spreading over five hundred kilometers .
The strong winds stirred the clouds, bringing out lightning . The horrifying mysterious phenomenon flickered continuously . The Winged Demon Monarch was trying to create a superstorm .
The Thunder Demon Monarch was the most tyrannical . He shot out countless lightning bolts from his body, exploding forth with electric light . Then, he merged with the lightning and turned into a bolt of lightning that surpa.s.sed a lightning tribulation as he hacked down on Xiao Chen .
Twelve Demon Monarchs executing their killing moves together resulted in overwhelming mysterious phenomena that spanned fifty thousand kilometers . It looked like it was doomsday .
The might of the various killing moves converged right on Xiao Chen .
Such pressure was even more horrifying than dead things like the Immortal statues .
Before this might and pressure, the vast Heavenly Star Island behind Xiao Chen shook and struggled to continue to fly . Mo Chen, who was maintaining the formation, felt like she could not hold on any longer . Her pale face looked like it was completely drained of blood .
The cultivators were shocked when they saw this . They felt like they themselves were facing such circ.u.mstances, worrying for Xiao Chen .
Xiao Chen’s expression turned grave; he did not dare to underestimate this attack . In the time it took for a spark to fly, he drew the Lunar Shadow Saber .
Then, he executed the last move of the Flawless Saber Technique, the Heaven Swallowing Stance!
This was the first time Xiao Chen used the Lunar Shadow Saber to execute the Heaven Swallowing Stance and also the first time he used the Flawless Saber Technique since his strength increased .
The Heaven Swallowing Stance represented the greatest ambition of the Flawless Saber Technique .
The Flawless Dao was something that Xiao Chen comprehended . No matter what Martial Technique he cultivated, he would fuse in this comprehension .
There was no such thing as a perfect and flawless Dao . There were only people who sought flawlessness, continuously perfecting one’s self .
The moment Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber, the many mysterious phenomena of all the Martial Techniques connected to the Flawless Saber Dao instantly burst forth .
There was a soaring bright moon burning like fire, appearing to be fueled by hot-bloodedness . That was the Thousand Year Flame .
There were the cycling seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter . That was the Four Seasons Saber Technique and the Flawless Four Seasons .
There were various mysterious phenomena, vast and boundless . His Flawless Dao vaguely formed the silhouette of a Dao .
As the saber light chopped down, the many mysterious phenomena formed a huge mouth . When the other side’s Martial Techniques arrived, the huge mouth opened and swallowed up all the Martial Techniques, burying them in the Flawless Dao .
The horrifying mysterious phenomena for fifty thousand kilometers around vanished, all swallowed by Xiao Chen’s saber strike .
“Here, I’ll return them to you . ”
Xiao Chen smiled faintly . Just when he could no longer hold on, the saber light spun in the air, and the huge mouth opened again and spat out everyone’s Martial Techniques .
Icy sword light, superstrong winds, berserk lightning…with the guidance of the saber light, they all appeared, greatly amplified . Then, they surged out at the twelve Martial Monarchs .
“Pu ci!”
The twelve Martial Monarchs were stunned . What kind of strange Martial Technique was this? All of them were struck by their own killing moves and sustained significant injuries .
Just as the many Demon Monarchs felt helpless before Xiao Chen, a light flashed in the silent Treasure Master’s eyes . Then, he suddenly said, “Continue the fight . He is already a spent force and cannot hold out for long . ”
When Xiao Chen heard this, his heart sank . He cursed in his heart, That sly old fox!
Earlier, when Xiao Chen sent the Immortal statues back with seventeen punches, he had used a lot of energy . Now that he executed the Heaven Swallowing Stance to deal with his situation, his Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi were about drained . Fighting twelve Demon Monarchs at the same time was still somewhat exhausting .
“Enough!”
An angry shout rang out in the air at this moment . Ying Zongtian, the Spirit Fox King, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, and the Heaven Punis.h.i.+ng Corpse G.o.d all appeared at the same time . They finally arrived at this critical moment .
