Xiao Chen was not willing to give Sima Lingxuan another mental barrier the moment he got over it.
If Xiao Chen used his full power, Sima Lingxuan would not be able to receive even one move from him.
Sima Lingxuan countered with a question, "How miserable can it be? Can it be worse than the defeat in the Five Nation Youth Competition? I don't believe it! "
Xiao Chen did not say anything more. He nodded and said, "In that case, make your move!"
Sima Lingxuan, who came prepared, did not gather his aura for long. He took a step forward and drew his sword.
"White Robed Xiao Chen, do you still remember this move? This is the sixth move of the Emperor's Sword Technique, Crossing a Thousand Peaks Everywhere!"
Thousands of mountains appeared out of nowhere. As the sword flew over, it leaped over thousands of mountains. Every time it leaped over a mountain, it would absorb the heavy aura of that mountain.
By the time it leaped over a thousand mountains, the sword had already gathered an unknown amount of heavy aura. The thousands of mountains gathered in the sword, and space suddenly pressed down.
Where Xiao Chen stood, the ground suddenly caved in. Aside from where Xiao Chen stood, everything else sank in.
This was a familiar scene. Back then, when Xiao Chen fought Sima Lingxuan in the Five Nation Youth Competition, he used this move at the end.
Unexpectedly, after ten years, Sima Lingxuan had not given up on this move. After studying it, he managed to raise the might of a Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique.
This was truly shocking. How much talent and perseverance did one need to achieve this?
Unfortunately, the Xiao Chen that Sima Lingxuan faced now was also very different from the past. Furthermore, Sima Lingxuan had improved even more. The gap between the two was not something that a Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique could make up for.
Back then, Xiao Chen had used the Four Season Saber Technique's Grieving Frost to break this move.
Now, there was no need to go through so much trouble. With a thought, Xiao Chen circulated five strands of Primordial Energy.
In that instant, an indistinct Emperor's Might appeared on Xiao Chen's body.
Grandmist power was far more formidable than the power of Heaven Laws. In terms of momentum, it instantly suppressed the grandmist power.
However, at this moment, Xiao Chen still had not moved a single step. His saber had not even been drawn.
When Sima Lingxuan's sword was less than a meter away from Xiao Chen, he instantly drew the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Seventy-percent-comprehended lightning saber soul and five strands of Primordial Energy — the absolute difference in strength allowed Xiao Chen to knock away Sima Lingxuan's sword with one saber strike.
A look of horror flashed in Sima Lingxuan's eyes. Before he could react, he was knocked back by an irresistible aura that could not be blocked.
When Sima Lingxuan landed on the ground, he vomited a mouthful of blood. The sword that he sent flying stabbed into the ground beside him.
One move, just one move, without even using a Martial Technique, and Xiao Chen was defeated.
Sima Lingxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, you lost even more miserably than that time. Actually, I should have known long ago. Given your character, you would never boast."
"The grievances between us shall end here."
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. When he heard Sima Lingxuan's words, he felt strangely relieved. A grudge was a cause and effect. Being able to resolve this cause and effect was indeed a good thing.
After all, they were both from the Sky Dome Realm. Whether they were willing or not, they could not deny this fact.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen said, "Many thanks. Also, congratulations on resolving this cause and effect."
Sima Lingxuan stood up and carefully sheathed his sword. After a long time, he said, "You have the Luck of our Sky Dome Realm on you. No matter what, I hope that you can clear your Great Tribulation of wind and fire and walk the Emperor's Road."
After saying that, Sima Lingxuan turned around and mounted his tall horse. Then, he pulled on the reins and galloped off, disappearing from the road.
The many Great Bandits that rushed over happened to see Xiao Chen defeat Sima Lingxuan in one move.
This scene startled them. After the Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting, Sima Lingxuan had improved the most. He was now the strongest outstanding talent of the Black Sea.
However, such an existence could not even block one saber strike from the returning Xiao Chen.
In that case, these people, who thought that they had improved and could fight with Xiao Chen again, would be even worse off.
If Sima Lingxuan could not block one move, could they block even half a move?
As the many Black Sea outstanding talents watched Xiao Chen enter the Flame Rock fort, they were all speechless. Originally, they wanted to challenge Xiao Chen, but now, they buried all of them in their hearts.
"Brother Xiao Chen, you and this Sima Lingxuan are old acquaintances. It looks like there is a deep grudge between you and him?" Ba Tu asked out of curiosity.
Xiao Chen nodded and gave a simple explanation of the grudges between him and Sima Lingxuan in the Sky Dome Realm.
Ba Tu suddenly understood. He said, "No wonder. I heard that after the previous Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting, many people saw Sima Lingxuan cry after he retreated without a fight."
Cry?
Xiao Chen was startled. How could a man cry so easily? Sima Lingxuan actually cried.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen soared into the air. From a distance, he could vaguely see Sima Lingxuan riding a horse into the distance.
Sima Lingxuan's lonely figure appeared somewhat desolate.
Xiao Chen was entranced by this sight. He muttered, "So, you are a sentimental person as well."
Xiao Chen blamed himself in his heart. If he had known about this earlier, he would not have let Sima Lingxuan suffer such a miserable defeat.
"Brother Xiao, are you alright? My grandfather is still waiting for you."
Ba Tu asked worriedly with a grave expression when he saw Xiao Chen in the air.
Xiao Chen landed and said, "I'm fine. I just feel somewhat regretful. Many of the people from the Sky Dome Realm who came to the Kunlun Realm with me are unknown. I do not know if they are still alive or not. I can only see one or two of them. He is the first to give me his blessings. "
The first blessings from an old friend on the Emperor's Road turned out to be an old enemy.
--- The Flame Rock Sovereign waited for a long time in the courtyard. Ba Tu tactfully left, leaving only Xiao Chen and the Flame Rock Sovereign.
"After not seeing you for half a year, you really became the second Blood Sword Sovereign. You condensed the Heart of an Emperor before advancing to Martial Emperor. However, this is not a good thing, either."
The Flame Rock Sovereign glanced at Xiao Chen as he spoke, a hint of worry on his face.
Xiao Chen sat down and poured a cup of tea for the Flame Rock Sovereign. Then, he continued, "I understand. The Great Tribulation of wind and fire is determined by the strength of the person undergoing the tribulation. The stronger the person undergoing the tribulation, the more dangerous the tribulation will be.
"However, I have to do this. I do not have much time. I need to quickly advance to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. Otherwise, I will not even have the chance to undergo the tribulation. Advancing to Martial Emperor would be pointless. "
The Flame Rock Sovereign drained the tea in his cup. Then, he sighed and said, "In my two-thousand-odd years of life, I have seen many startling geniuses. However, compared to you, they all pale in comparison."
"Going back further, even during the most glorious Ancient Era of the Kunlun Realm, there were not many who had a harder time advancing to Emperor than you."
Xiao Chen said humbly, "Senior, you are too polite. This time, I also have some questions that I would like to ask Senior."
The Flame Rock Sovereign nodded and said, "I guessed a little. You must have many questions about condensing the Heart of an Emperor. Speak. If I can answer them, I will tell you everything I know."
Xiao Chen thought for a while before asking, "Might I ask if Senior knows what an abandoned land is?"
The Flame Rock Sovereign smiled and said, "A regular Emperor Wu might not know about this. However, at my level, an abandoned land is no longer a secret.
"The seniors who disappeared in history mostly left this world. However, after the Hundred Race War of the Ancient Era, no one has been able to leave this abandoned land."
Xiao Chen asked out of curiosity, "Why?"
The Flame Rock Sovereign hesitated for a while, swirling the tea in his cup. After thinking for a while, he said, "Given your current strength, there is no harm in telling you. In any case, you will have to face it sooner or later.
"After the Hundred Race War, the Kunlun Realm fell from the peak of the Martial Dao. Although the Kunlun Realm won a bitter victory in that Demonic Calamity, it still gave the Dark Church a chance, allowing them to seal off the exit to the abandoned land. "
This was the first time Xiao Chen heard such news. He felt shocked in his heart. He exclaimed in shock, "There is an exit to the abandoned land?"
"There used to be, but it is gone now."
"Where is it?"
"You should have seen it before. The boundless peak that suppresses the Rock of Origin in the Kunlun Mountain Range is the original road to heaven."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and remembered. Back then, when he went to the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring, he had indeed seen that boundless peak.
At that time, it had left a deep impression on Xiao Chen. That peak had been majestic and majestic, with no end in sight. There had also been Emperor Wu of the various races guarding there.
"So, it is that peak. Unexpectedly, the Kunlun Realm has such a path."
The Flame Rock Sovereign smiled bitterly and said, "Don't overthink. Even if that path is not blocked, not many people would chase it away. There is a slim chance of survival. Furthermore, it is completely blocked now. The entire Kunlun Realm is a huge cage. No matter what kind of genius you are, you will not be able to escape the butcher's knife of time in the end. Eventually, you will die. "
The Flame Rock Sovereign's words were filled with helplessness, very similar to the tone of the Haotian Emperor, Ying Zongtian.
Perhaps every person who advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor would feel this kind of bitterness. Under the seemingly glorious exterior, there was a bitterness that others would find hard to understand.
"What is the background of this Dark Church? Why do they want to eradicate our Kunlun Realm?" Xiao Chen could not figure it out.
The Flame Rock Sovereign made an expression of being unable to answer. Then, he waved his hand and said, "No one knows. The Dark Church already existed in the Ancient Era. At that time, nearly all the races that survived the Immortal Epoch died at their hands.
"They are like a nightmare. After that, the Desolate Ancient Era and the Ancient Era all showed signs of them. Originally, the Ancient Era was the peak of the Martial Epoch. That was the time when the Martial Epoch was the most confident of eliminating the Dark Church.
"However, the various races fought each other, killing each other. This gave the Dark Church an opportunity. This is really ironic."
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked, "When will the next Demonic Calamity arrive?"
"It's hard to say. Originally, the Primes of the various races predicted that the Dark Church would take action within ten years. However, there seems to be some variables, delaying the Demonic Calamity. The next Demonic Calamity might be extraordinary. "
"It would be fine if it does not come. Once the next Demonic Calamity arrives, it will definitely sweep through the entire Kunlun Realm."
Xiao Chen recalled Chu Chaoyun saying that the Qing Emperor's evil thoughts, Teng Xiao, had failed in his attempt to become the Church Master and was killed instead. Could this variable be?
However, Xiao Chen could not tell the Flame Rock Sovereign about this; it was just his guess.
