However, it was still insufficient to block eight half-step Emperor Wu at the same time. Xiao Chen had already used the Divine Lightning once. This time, its might was significantly reduced.
The Divine Lightning lasted for only a moment before Ao Jiao vomited a mouthful of blood and went flying back. Fortunately, the saber light accompanied by the Divine Lightning weakened most of the might of the Profound Martial Technique. It was no longer as exaggerated as it was at the start.
Ao Jiao, who was flying back, clenched her teeth and charged forward again. Her figure flickered endlessly in the air, blocking all the remaining attacks with her saber.
If the attacks were too fast and could not be broken, she used her body to block them. In mere moments, she was covered in wounds, a sorry sight to behold.
However, in the end, she still managed to help Xiao Chen block the first wave of killing moves.
"Damn it!"
When the eight half-step Emperor Wu saw the situation, they cursed and immediately formed a second wave of attacks. This time, they intended to eliminate both Ao Jiao and Xiao Chen.
However, a clump of light that was even more dazzling than the sun suddenly burned in the sky. It was so piercing that no one dared to look directly at it.
A Plume Feather tore through the air from the clump of light, flying down ferociously.
It was Little Yellow Feather. At this crucial moment, it used its remaining two Plume Feather.
The group of half-step Emperor Wu had been beaten up miserably by this Plume Feather earlier. When they saw it again, how could they dare to show any temper?
They were startled and immediately protected their bodies, quickly dodging.
The same move was not very effective against this group of experienced half-step Emperor Wu. It did not manage to injure them.
The Plume Feather exploded on the ground, and a three-hundred-meter-wide golden light soared into the air. It burned a horrifying black hole in the ground, looking extremely horrifying.
"Kill this beast!"
When the masked half-step Emperor Wu of the Three Holy Masters saw Little Yellow Feather, a murderous intent flared in their eyes.
Little Yellow Feather's golden body spread its wings proudly in the air. Facing the eight half-step Emperor Wu, it had no fear at all. It soared into the air and took the initiative to attack.
Ao Jiao stayed by Xiao Chen's side, her eyes slightly wet. In her eyes, the blonde had always been like a child.
Who would have thought that he would have to bear such great pressure at such a crucial moment? Alone, he was able to stall eight half-step Emperor Wu.
Miserable cries resounded continuously as Little Yellow Feather's golden feathers fell off continuously. Facing the encirclement of eight half-step Martial Emperors, Little Yellow Feather was not a match at all.
In Ao Jiao's ears, the painful wails sounded like the cries of a baby, which made her heart wrench.
But she couldn't leave. At this time, Xiao Chen's breakthrough had reached a critical moment. She had to conserve her last bit of strength and stay by Xiao Chen's side to prevent anyone from interrupting Xiao Chen.
Bang!
Yellow Feather was flipped over, its feathers continuously falling off. The golden feathers were stained with fresh blood, falling off one by one.
It was like fresh blood was burning, falling onto the vast desert, looking incomparably miserable.
"Damn it, this little bastard's flame is really painful."
A human half-step Emperor Wu, whose hair and arms were burnt by the flame, cursed loudly. Obviously, the Sacred Flame of the Sun made him feel extreme pain.
Ao Jiao couldn't bear it anymore. She stepped forward and caught Yellow Feather, whose divine light had dimmed and shrunk by many times, into her embrace.
Yellow Feather's voice was hoarse. At this moment, it didn't look like a Divine Beast at all. It was like a featherless sparrow, looking extremely miserable.
After spending half a day, the two obstacles were finally dealt with.
Eight half-step Emperor Wu's arrived in the air, looking coldly at Xiao Chen, who had six halos on his back and was manifesting the Life and Death phenomenon on the stone tablet.
Step by step, they closed in. All of them were expressionless, with a cold murderous intent, firmly locking onto Xiao Chen.
They didn't want to give Xiao Chen any chance at all, directly killing him at the last moment of his breakthrough.
However, at this moment, on both sides of Xiao Chen, the extreme Life and Death phenomenon suddenly merged, instantly entering into Xiao Chen's body.
Red, orange, red, green, cyan, blue, and purple, the most crucial seventh halo appeared behind Xiao Chen in one fell swoop.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, a dazzling golden light gushed out. He, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up. In an instant, the light shone brightly, outshining the morning glow.
In the void, the eight half-step Emperor Wu's were all startled by this gaze. The moment the light shone, they couldn't help but take a few steps back.
At this moment, Xiao Chen actually gave them a pressure that only an Emperor Wu could.
The golden light in Xiao Chen's eyes slowly faded. With a thought, the seven halos behind him returned to his body.
In that instant, the Mental Energy in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness, which had already been molded into a humanoid shape, seemed to come to life.
The Consummation Blue Robed Emperor condensed his Mental Energy and merged it with the Heavenly Seal, forming the vague form of the Heart of an Emperor.
Xiao Chen finally understood why the Consummation Blue Robed Emperor could only form the vague form of the Heart of an Emperor and not the true Heart of an Emperor.
This was because the Consummation Blue Robed Emperor had not experienced the Great Tribulation of wind and fire. The Mental Energy that he condensed did not have a soul or a spirit. It was an incomplete fusion.
However, the Life and Death Art used the Flower of Life and the Death Fruit to make a cultivator go through seven life-and-death trials, each more dangerous than the last. In the end, the layers of halos that were refined were the soul and the spirit.
When the soul and the Mental Energy gathered at the same time, they would form a Primordial Spirit, which was the small golden figure that seemed to come to life in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness.
Like water flowing into a canal, the golden Primordial Spirit slowly sank into the dantian.
As it sank, Xiao Chen felt the green spots in his blood, flesh, and cells being absorbed into the golden Primordial Spirit.
These green spots represented all sorts of primal lifeforce. Even if one's arm was severed, as long as these green spots remained, it might not be difficult to regrow a severed limb.
Xiao Chen understood why Emperor Wu was so hard to kill.
The appearance of the Heart of an Emperor would transform the physical body once again, absorbing every cell in the body into the Heart of an Emperor like a backup.
"Ka ca!"
A melodious sound came from Xiao Chen's body. The golden Primordial Spirit and the dragon-shaped Heavenly Seal completely merged.
In that instant, the various lights that Xiao Chen had withdrawn in his body released uncontrollably. A strong might swept out in all directions.
The Heart of an Emperor had successfully condensed!
It was like Xiao Chen had obtained a new life. First, the bottleneck that had plagued Xiao Chen for a long time was instantly broken. He silently entered the Consummation Blue Robed Emperor realm.
Xiao Chen's physical body underwent a complete transformation. His physical body, which had already reached the peak of the Sage Body, improved further.
Xiao Chen's originally delicate face changed drastically, giving off an explosive pressure. His aura was terrifyingly strong.
However, there was no precedent for such a physical body. Although it was called the Emperor Wu's Golden Body, it lacked maturity. Furthermore, Xiao Chen had not reconstructed or reconstructed his body.
However, it was much stronger than a regular Sage Body. Furthermore, after condensing the Heart of an Emperor, the recovery ability of the body surpassed that of a regular Emperor Wu's Golden Body.
It would not be too much to call it a half-step Golden Body. It was a unique existence that existed in Xiao Chen's body.
"The Heart of an Emperor!"
The eight half-step Emperor Wu's all exclaimed when they saw the white-robed Xiao Chen standing proudly on the stone stele, looking as elegant as Emperor Wu's.
It was indeed the Heart of an Emperor. At their level, they were no longer unfamiliar with Emperor Wu. They had even interacted with Primes before.
They were no strangers to Emperor Wu's circle. When they saw Xiao Chen's current state, they immediately figured out the crux of the matter.
Only after clearing the Great Tribulation of wind and fire and becoming Emperor Wu could one condense the Heart of an Emperor. Unexpectedly, it appeared on Xiao Chen.
The surrounding mixed-blood cultivators were all shocked speechless. Fifty thousand years ago, the Blood Sword Sovereign condensed the Heart of an Emperor before advancing to Martial Emperor.
Several people thought that it was just a legend and that it could not possibly appear in the real world.
But today, the white-clothed young man standing on top of the towering stone tablet had silently proved that it was not a legend, but a reality.
The aura of a single person was enough to suppress all the people present.
Before Xiao Chen could carefully experience the many mysteries of the Heart of an Emperor, he looked around and fixed his gaze on the eight half-step Emperor Wu's in front.
Then, he looked at the unconscious Ao Jiao, who was covered in wounds and hugging Little Yellow Feather, who was still unconscious.
These people were all injured because of him. Right now, Dugu Ao's survival was even more uncertain. The scene of Dugu Ao blocking the twelve half-step Emperor Wu's for Xiao Chen was still vivid in his mind; he would never forget it.
For the sake of protecting Xiao Chen, Little Yellow Feather and Ao Jiao had fought until their bodies were covered in wounds.
Xiao Chen only wanted to walk his own Dao. However, these people persistently pressured him, repeatedly trying to kill him, touching on his bottom line.
"Xiao Chen, it was indeed not easy for you to reach this step. You should leave. We will not make things difficult for you," the Deity Race half-step Emperor Wu's voice pleaded for peace under Xiao Chen's strong pressure.
The other party had already refined the Flower of Life. There was no longer any meaning in fighting with them.
The most important thing was that Xiao Chen had condensed the Heart of an Emperor and advanced to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. His strength had increased greatly, shaking these people's confidence in victory.
"That's right. You should leave. We will not make things difficult for you."
The eight half-step Emperor Wu's were all experienced people. They quickly understood the principle and all spoke up to let Xiao Chen leave, indicating that they would not make things difficult for him.
The original goal was to prevent Xiao Chen from obtaining the Flower of Life, to prevent him from advancing to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. It was not to kill Xiao Chen.
However, not only did Xiao Chen successfully refine the Flower of Life and advance to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor, but he also surpassed their expectations and condensed the Heart of an Emperor.
Since they had already messed up their mission, there was no point in continuing. They might as well let Xiao Chen leave.
When Xiao Chen heard these people talking at the same time, he could not help but laugh out loud. What was shameless? This group of people was the perfect definition of this word.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not reply and started laughing instead, the eight half-step Emperor Wu's shouted angrily.
Xiao Chen stopped laughing and retorted coldly, "Why can't I laugh? There are funnier things in the world than this. You beat up my friend until he died, humiliated me time and time again, and prevented me from obtaining the Flower of Life for no reason at all.
"You forced me to make seven life-and-death passes in ten days. After I succeeded, you arrogantly said to let me go and not make things difficult for me. Are there people as shameless as you?!"
