Emperor Wu killed one fleeing, and three more fleeing. The Ghost Race cultivators below nearly all died. No matter how one looked at it, this was a complete victory.
Xiao Chen gently drifted down and landed on the lake. Elder Ma was currently directing the cultivators to clean up the Ghost Race corpses and some war trophies on the lake's surface.
When Elder Ma saw Xiao Chen land, he immediately flew over with a smile. "Little Brother Xiao Chen, you are really something. This battle was really delightful."
Xiao Chen had a clearer understanding of reality. He smiled softly and said, "It is just that the Deity Dao Union does not know that I am here. Next time, when the other party is prepared, it will be much more difficult."
Elder Ma thought for a while, and his face sank. "It looks like I rejoiced too early. However, no matter what, with Little Brother Xiao Chen here, I am very confident of defending Maple Leaf Lake."
"Right, that's right. As long as the Blue Dragon King is here, Maple Leaf Lake will definitely be able to defend."
The disciples of the Haotian Sect and the Thunder and Lightning Palace laughed at the same time. Clearly, Xiao Chen was now like a stabilizing force in these people's hearts.
Xiao Chen felt worried, but he could not show it in front of everyone. After chatting with Elder Ma for a while, he returned to his wooden hut alone.
It was already noon. However, many mysterious phenomena appeared in the sky. Space trembled endlessly, causing the clouds to churn. The sky was dark; not a single ray of sunlight could be seen.
The battle at Maple Leaf Lake had ended. However, that did not mean that the battles at the other nodes had ended as well, especially the core node of the ninth layer, Meteor Trail City.
At this moment, Meteor Trail City was enduring wave after wave of intense attacks. Most of the Deity Dao Union's Emperor Wu and the King Grade warships were gathered there.
As long as they broke Meteor Trail City, the ninth layer of formations would shatter and cease to exist. The Deity Dao Union's frontlines would advance as well.
Inside the wooden hut, Xiao Chen did not care about the situation elsewhere.
He sat cross-legged and placed his hands on his knees. He circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the world to nourish his Law Energy.
In the Heart of an Emperor, the hundred strands of Primordial Energy intertwined, forming a purple whirlpool.
At the bottom of the vortex was a lake that was formed by the pure power of the laws of the world. Countless purple specks of light fell like raindrops, nourishing the lake.
Then, the lake began to feed back the purple vortex, condensing a hundred strands of Primordial Energy.
This was a rather troublesome cultivation method. If one could directly absorb Primordial Energy, then there would be no need to continue cultivating the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
Unfortunately, in this land of exile, the absorption of Primordial Energy was limited.
It was rumored that only after reaching the Supreme-Being level would there be no more restrictions. This was also the reason why Supreme-Beings could calmly refine the Primordial Pill.
While Xiao Chen was silently cultivating, the mysterious sword box on his back also released a warm current. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that Xiao Chen had absorbed was strengthened. It was extremely miraculous.
Two days had passed, and the weight of the sword box had lightened considerably. However, it was still unknown when it would be completely unsealed.
Without a saber, Xiao Chen's strength dropped by a quarter. Furthermore, this was under the condition that he comprehended the Flawless saber Dao. If it were any other bladesman without a suitable saber, their combat prowess would drop by at least half. "Dong!
Dong! Dong! "
Knocking rang out, and Xiao Chen opened his eyes. Then, he casually waved his hand, and the door gently opened.
Elder Ma, Mo Chen, and Yue Bingyun entered at the same time. They handed Xiao Chen three jade bottles and said with a smile, "Little Brother Xiao, these are your rewards. There are three bottles of Primordial Pills, and each bottle contains five Primordial Pills. They correspond to the three Emperor Wu Pills that you killed. The envoys of the inner palace were all stunned by your military merits. No one has ever obtained so many Primordial Pills before. "
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. The Primordial Pill. That was truly good stuff.
Right now, Xiao Chen had one hundred strands of Primordial Energy because the Flame Rock Sovereign had given him the Primordial Pills.
As Elder Ma handed the jade bottles to Xiao Chen, he could not hide the envy in his eyes at all. Xiao Chen smiled. This was human nature. He would not bother about this.
"How are the battles at the other nodes?" Xiao Chen asked as he received the Medicinal Pills. He clearly felt that the Deity Dao Union's attack this time was exceptionally ferocious.
Elder Ma sighed and said, "It was very dangerous. Several nodes nearly fell. Fortunately, the Fiend Race's reinforcements arrived. The battles in most areas have already ended. The casualties are very severe. Only Meteor Trail City is still fighting. "
The Fiend Race's reinforcements arrived?
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he asked, "In that case, should we go and provide reinforcements?"
Elder Ma shook his head and said, "There's no need. Our nodes are also very important. If Meteor Trail City needs reinforcements, there will be a meteor soaring into the sky. Anyone within five million kilometers will be able to see it."
Xiao Chen nodded. Just as he was about to say something, the entire defense suddenly trembled intensely.
Undercurrents surged in Maple Leaf Lake, and the fallen leaves on the lake's surface scattered everywhere.
"What's going on?"
Horror flashed on the faces of Mo Chen and Elder Ma as they asked in confusion.
This horror came for no reason, appearing out of nowhere. It was incredibly strange.
Only Xiao Chen and Elder Ma felt horrified. They exchanged glances and roughly guessed what happened.
These two had the Heart of an Emperor and were extremely sensitive to the aura of experts. If they guessed right, a Prime had appeared.
Elder Ma said with a grave expression, "Right now, the Deity Dao Union has three Primes on the surface: Emperor Forsaken, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the Dongyue Ghost Emperor. It is impossible for Emperor Forsaken to appear. If he did, his aura would be even stronger. It can only be the Heaven Punishing Corpse God or the Dongyue Ghost Emperor. "
Xiao Chen added, "The aura of the Ghost Race is extremely sinister. If it is the Dongyue Ghost Emperor, we should be able to feel a chill. It might very well be the Heaven Punishing Corpse God."
Mo Chen exclaimed in shock, "A Prime appearing so early? Are they bringing forward the final battle?"
Elder Ma rejected that idea. "No. Neither side can bear the consequences of the final battle now. This should just be a probing exchange. However, when Primes fight, even if it is just a probing exchange, the shockwaves will spread far and wide. Furthermore, if anyone ends up at a disadvantage, it will be a huge blow to their morale. "
Xiao Chen agreed with Elder Ma's opinion. In reality, he had always believed that the crux of this battle was not with Primes. It had never been among Primes. Instead, it was among Martial Emperors below Primes.
Primes were existences that stood at the peak of the Kunlun Realm. They would not fight to the death with each other. Even if they were mortal enemies, they would have a tacit understanding with each other.
"Ying Zongtian, since you became a Prime, you have not fought with anyone yet. Do you dare to fight with this Corpse God?!"
A boundless laughter rang out in the sky, which was filled with strange phenomena. Following this laughter, a loud laughter rang out.
Following this laughter, the many mysterious phenomena in the sky vanished like smoke. The continuously churning clouds split in half and retreated.
"Whoosh!"
The long-awaited sunlight reappeared. The dark and gloomy sky was swept away, and sunlight illuminated the surrounding five million kilometers.
Gazes peered through the wooden window into the wooden hut that Xiao Chen was in, leaving mottled spots of light behind.
Xiao Chen looked at the sky through the window. He vaguely saw a stocky, middle-aged man with his upper body bared walking towards the sky above Meteor Trail City.
Instantly, the auras of the Deity Dao Union cultivators attacking Meteor Trail City soared, and their attacks became much sharper.
"Corpse God? Big Brother Xing Tian, we both know that there are no gods in this world. Why do you have to be like those Deity Race cultivators, deceiving yourselves? "
A blazing sun rose in Haotian City. This sun looked like fire, burning the sky for five million kilometers around.
A figure slowly walked out of the sun. His gaze pierced into the Heaven Punishing Corpse God from a boundless distance.
"Gods or not, those are just minor details. There is no need to speak nonsense. Let me ask you this: do you dare to walk out of the Worldly Mountain River Great Sun Formation and fight?! "
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God said as he met this gaze.
It had been one thousand years since the Heaven Punishing Corpse God became a Prime. He was very confident in facing Ying Zongtian, so he challenged the Heaven Punishing Corpse God again.
"Why not?!"
Ying Zongtian stood on the sun and soared into the sky. A battle between Primes was about to begin.
