That was a state that could only be chanced upon and not sought. Even the Prime, Emperor Wu, could not enter it as he pleased.
How much one could gain in such a state depended on one's accumulations and comprehension ability.
For Xiao Chen to comprehend this move and send out such a resplendent saber light while in the state of being one with heaven, it was not a coincidence. Rather, it was more accurate to say that the conditions were right.
If not for Xiao Chen comprehending this move, the ten great grandmaster-level Deity Race great grandmaster-level Martial Sages who forged the Deity Statue would have killed Xiao Chen.
Originally, Xiao Chen had intended to leave this move to deal with Di Wuque during the King conferral ceremony. However, that fellow was too sinister. The Divine Kingdom's materialization of the illusory had severely injured Xiao Chen, not giving him a chance to execute it.
Otherwise, without Ao Jiao making a move, Xiao Chen could defeat Di Wuque.
"What is this move called?" Ao Jiao asked excitedly.
"Instant of Glory."
In that instant, the saber light materialized all sorts of scenes. It lived up to its name, Instant of Glory.
When the black-clad old man lying half-dead on the ground saw this scene, he was frightened out of his wits. He used all his might to take out a Peak Grade Divine Flame Talisman and quickly fled this place.
Seeing the black-clad old man turn into a fiery light and disappear, the disciples on the walls recovered their wits from the light of Xiao Chen's move.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought, frowning heavily. Clearly, the other party was trying to anger him on purpose.
Then, the other party used the black-clad old man as bait. Even if he lost, he could take the opportunity to kill Xiao Chen.
The plan was layered. The goal might not be as simple as taking back Neptune's crown.
"First Senior Sister, I'll go and chase after this person. Don't worry for me."
A pair of wings spread out on Xiao Chen's back. He instantly executed the Freedom Wings' Magic Skill, So Close Yet Worlds Apart. With one step, he appeared fifty kilometers away.
Shui Lingling could not help feeling frustrated. Then, she said helplessly, "That is a Peak Grade Divine Flame Talisman. It is as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. How can I chase after it?"
Up in the air, Xiao Chen looked around and extended out his Spiritual Sense. However, he did not find any traces.
Without a change in his expression, Zhang Xuan changed his direction and activated the World's Edge once more.
Even a supreme-grade Divine Flame Talisman was only 500 kilometers away. As long as the other party paused for a moment, he would be able to find them with the Freedom Wings.
In the northwest of Haotian City, on a mountain peak thousands of miles away, seven young men dressed in dragon robes of various colors were gathered on the mountaintop, chatting merrily and wittily.
High up in the sky, seven majestic and extraordinary battleships of different colors were hovering.
Judging from the quality of the warship and the massive magic cannons on board, it was a Time Emperor class warship.
The seven young men were all extraordinarily handsome and had noble auras. Their faces carried a natural arrogance. They were all young, but all of them were grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
They were no weaker than the youths of the Kunlun Continent.
This was especially so for the leader, a youth in black dragon robes. His aura was extraordinary, comparable to the Iron Hand Sovereign's descendant, Wang Can, the Underworld Fire Sovereign's descendant, Wei Hua, and other first-rate outstanding talents of the continent.
These seven people were the Young Marquises of Neptune's old subordinates, the seven colored Marquises. They were famous in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, known as the Seven Heroes Of The Dragon.
The youth in black dragon robes was called Huan Qiuyu. He was the leader of the Seven Heroes, the strongest of them all.
"Qiuyu, why are the elders not back yet? Whether they succeeded or not, they should have returned with the supreme-grade Divine Flame Talismans," the purple-clad youth said, feeling suspicious.
Huan Qiuyu smiled and said, "There's no need to worry. I've asked around about that Xiao Chen. Based on his performance at the King conferral platform, facing six great grandmaster-level Martial Sages at the same time is his limit. This time, he will definitely die. Not only will he obtain Neptune's crown, but all the treasures on him will also belong to us. "
The white-clad youth smiled and said, "For some reason, the Eastern Sea King's direct descendant is actually willing to give us six supreme-grade Divine Flame Talismans."
"It is indeed strange. If not for these six supreme-grade Divine Flame Talismans, we would not dare to take such a risk."
"He wants to choose something. Furthermore, it will not be Neptune's crown or the congratulatory gift that Xiao Chen received. This is really strange."
"This person has always been mysterious. Even the current Marquises of our various clans treat him as an honored guest. I heard that the other three Sea Kings have deep ties with him as well."
"For a junior to be able to mingle with so many older-generation experts, he is indeed extraordinary."
As the seven discussed, the topic shifted to the Eastern Sea King's direct descendant. Even Huan Qiuyu showed a puzzled expression when he mentioned this person.
"Boom!"
A clump of fiery light burst forth on the summit. The dying old man, who had been severely injured by Xiao Chen, appeared at the summit. He appeared incredibly weak, continuously vomiting blood.
The seven quickly stopped talking, their expressions changing drastically. Huan Qiuyu helped the old man up and asked quickly, "First Uncle, why did you come back alone? Where are the other six uncles?"
The old man heaved a sigh of relief and said weakly, "Let's go quickly. The other six worked together, but Xiao Chen chopped them in half with one saber strike."
"First Uncle, you must be joking. Those were six peak great grandmaster-level Martial Sages. How could Xiao Chen kill them with one saber strike?" Huan Qiuyu clearly did not believe this. This was simply too exaggerated.
The other youths also showed expressions of disbelief. Could it be that Xiao Chen had reached the unrivaled great grandmaster-level Martial Sages at the age of twenty-eight?
How could this be possible? Normally, only great grandmaster-level Martial Sages who had many fortuitous encounters, lived for at least three hundred years, and refined half a Heavenly Law could reach this level.
The old man wanted to continue speaking, but his expression suddenly turned horrified.
He took a deep breath and soared into the air. Then, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, he fled in a hurry.
However, just as he soared into the air, he saw a saber light flying at him. It was as bright as the moon, and a bloody hole appeared on his forehead. Blood spurted out like a fountain, and he died on the spot.
The Seven Distinguished Dragon Marquises turned around and happened to see the azure-clad Xiao Chen hovering in the air with his hands behind his back and the Sea Monarch Headscarf on his head.
"The few of you really made it easy for this Xiao to find you. You sent seven great grandmaster-level Martial Sages into the Haotian Sect to kill me. If my strength had not soared recently, I might have fallen for your tricks. "
Xiao Chen said expressionlessly as he glanced at the seven people in front of him.
Under Xiao Chen's gaze, the seven felt a strange fear, and their bodies trembled slightly.
Strangely, this gaze clearly did not contain any killing intent.
Huan Qiuyu maintained a calm expression as he sent a voice projection. First Uncle might be telling the truth. We should split up and leave as many as we can.
"Whoosh!"
Black, white, yellow, green, azure, blue, and purple — seven beams of light flashed, and the seven split up into different directions, scattering in all directions.
Xiao Chen snorted coldly. After spending so much effort to reach this place after much difficulty, how could he let these seven people off so easily?
The Magic Energy in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness burned, and the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting appeared in his left hand. Tall mountains, rivers, and clouds formed in the air.
In an instant, the small world's enormous suction force was about to suck in all of the seven streaks of light that had been shot out.
The seven beams of light retreated and were about to be sucked into the painting.
A vast sea rose and fell on the horizon, boundless. At the end of the distant sea, a red sun leaped out of the sea.
A vast sword light appeared with the red sun. It was like the rising blazing sun, unblockable and boundlessly vast.
When the sword light came out, the mountains, rivers, clouds, and the sky were all forced back. The Beautiful Mountain and River Painting appeared in the air and turned back into a painting, landing in Xiao Chen's palm.
The seven beams of light felt like they received amnesty, taking this opportunity to leave.
After the master of that sword light swung his sword, he quickly left, riding on the sea and disappearing without a trace.
Xiao Chen remained in the air, not giving chase. He had exhausted all his Vital Qi and most of his Magic Energy. He also did not have many Heavenly Sage Laws left.
If he continued to chase after this person, he would not gain anything.
Looking in the direction that person left, Xiao Chen muttered, "How unfortunate. If it were a complete Immortal Equipment, even if I sent out another ten sword strikes, I would not be able to save these seven people."
At the same time, Xiao Chen felt very confused. Who exactly was the person who attacked?
When the wind scattered, Xiao Chen looked up and saw seven dragon-shaped warships of various colors in the air. They all turned around and prepared to leave.
The Seven Heroes Of The Dragon fled in a hurry and did not board the warships. Right now, the seven warships had no masters or experts guarding them. How could they possibly escape from under his nose?
Xiao Chen opened his left hand, and the Beautiful Mountain And River Painting appeared. Tall mountains, flowing rivers, rivers, and lakes materialized in the air. A small world suddenly formed, and he sucked in the seven King Grade warships with one palm strike.
When Xiao Chen flipped his hand over, he saw the seven peak King Grade warships flying around like headless flies in the world in the painting.
With a thought, the world in the painting suddenly turned upside down. The ground was above, and the sky was below. The cultivators in the warships were all caught off guard, falling out and flying around in a fluster.
These cultivators were mostly Martial Monarchs or Inferior Grade Martial Sages. They were somewhat strong. However, in Xiao Chen's eyes, they were not worth mentioning.
Xiao Chen was not a bloodthirsty person by nature. When he raised his hand, a repulsive force appeared in the painting, chasing these people out.
The cultivators of the gaseous Marquises that managed to escape quickly ran away, not daring to linger at all.
Although Xiao Chen did not figure out the mastermind behind this incident or what the other party's plan was, he did not come out empty-handed. Even with seven peak King Grade warships, the headquarters of the Seven Colored Marquises probably did not have many.
"It looks like there are more variables in this trip to Heavenly Star Island."
As Xiao Chen watched the cultivators scatter, he revealed a contemplative expression as he stood on the summit.
After erasing the Spiritual Mark on the King Grade warships, Xiao Chen unfurled the Freedom Wings and left this place.
--- In a place not too far away, the Seven Heroes Of The Dragon watched helplessly as Xiao Chen collected their King Grade warships and erased the Spiritual Mark they left behind.
The Seven Heroes Of The Dragon were so anxious that their eyes turned red. A few of them could not hold back and wanted to charge out again.
Aside from the flagship Emperor Grade warships, each clan only had two or three peak King Grade warships. As heirs, they had lost such a King Grade warship. When they returned, they would be severely punished.
In the end, Huan Qiuyu was the calmer. He stopped the others and said to the black-clad man in the corner, "Leng Shaofan, did you anticipate this long ago? Otherwise, why would you suddenly appear when we were about to fall for it?"
"That's right. You did not have good intentions from the start. You gave us peak Divine Flame Talismans and encouraged us to kill Xiao Chen, but you hid at the side and watched the show."
