The short fight between the two Supreme Martial Artists ended with Ying Zongtian winning by half a move. Only ten percent of their strength was enough to affect the camps that were thousands of miles away from each other.
After the Heaven Punishing Corpse God lost by half a move, the morale of the Deity Dao Union's side plummeted. Furthermore, the Fiend Race reinforcements arrived. The Deity Dao Union could not take down the Heaven Punishing Corpse God even after a long time, so they could only retreat helplessly.
The mountains around Meteor Trail City were no longer mountains, and the rivers were no longer rivers. The battles of several Martial Emperors had destroyed the landscape of the mountains and rivers, which were not supported by formations, beyond recognition.
Although the battle had stopped, the mysterious phenomenon in the sky showed no signs of disappearing.
Dark clouds covered the dusky sky, stretching for thousands of miles as far as the eye could see. There were explosions in the sky from time to time. That was the power of the sun of the Haotian Supremacy. Dragon roars could be heard within the black clouds. That was the Heaven Punishing Corpse God's surging Vital Qi.
There were also all sorts of mysterious phenomena, which were the Martial Techniques executed by the other Martial Emperors.
On the city wall, the three old men looked at the destroyed battlefield and did not say anything for a long time.
The three of them had powerful auras and dense battle intent that had yet to dissipate.
The person in the middle was the Vice Sect Leader of the Haotian Sect. He was a genius. Ten years ago, he was only a hair's breadth away from Emperor Wu. Now, he had reached the sixth level of Greater celestial, Emperor Wu.
He was much stronger than many of the seniors who had advanced to Martial Emperor earlier. He was the leader of the entire ninth layer of formations.
On his left was a Supreme Elder of the Thunder and Lightning Palace. His cultivation was at the Fifth Heavenly Layer, and his name was Wang Xu. His comprehension of the Dao of Thunder and Lightning was astonishing.
As for the person on the right, he looked travel-worn. He was the Great Emperor of the Monster Race, Jiang Chuan.
The Haotian Sect's Vice Sect Master, Fang Baiyu, said, "This time, many thanks to Brother Jiang Chuan for coming to help."
Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "It's fine. We're here on The Fox King's orders, so there's no need to be polite. Furthermore, given the current situation of the Kunlun Continent, after the Haotian Sect falls, the Deity Dao Union will definitely target the Fiend Race. "
The Fiend Race had the most people, and Emperor Wu also had the most. However, there were only two Sovereign Martial Emperors. They were actually the weakest of the five races.
If the Haotian Sect fell, the Fiend Race would definitely not be a match for the Deity Dao Union. Helping the Haotian Sect now was the same as helping himself. The Fox King could see it clearly.
Wang Xu said at an opportune moment, "The Deity Dao Union does not seem to have any intention of launching an all-out attack. They have been testing the waters these days."
Fang Baiyu nodded, expressing his agreement with Wang Xu's opinion. He continued, "The other party is probably very ambitious and wants to defeat us in one fell swoop. It's not as simple as the ninth layer of the formation. "
"Let's not talk about this. After today's recuperation, gather the people in charge of each node and discuss it together."
"Yes, it's time to discuss countermeasures."
…
In Maple Leaf Lake, after the battle ended, Xiao Chen immediately chose to meditate. He had gained a lot from the battle of Primes and gained many new ideas for the Flawless Saber Technique.
At a rather desolate area on the vast lake, Xiao Chen stood on it with his eyes closed in deep thought.
The scene of the Heaven Punishing Corpse God controlling the air with force flashed in his mind.
Controlling the air with force was a very difficult technique. It required extremely high attainments in the state of space to accomplish. Xiao Chen could not do it; he was far from it. He did not have such thoughts, either.
Xiao Chen only had one thought: to advance the Flawless Saber Technique's Void Breaking Stance further, to Consummation, to the point where he could control the air with the saber.
Even a space of five thousand kilometers could be called space.
The state of space was abnormally profound. Even Emperor Wu could only grope around the edges, unable to fully grasp it.
Forcefully tearing space like how Emperor Wu did was not comprehending the state of space. That was the stupidest and most barbaric method. Only the Heaven Punishing Corpse God and Big Brother Ying Zongtian could be considered to have grasped the state of space slightly.
The Space Dao was ethereal and unpredictable, controlled by the saber.
Originally, Xiao Chen had inadvertently achieved controlling the air with the saber once. Now that he saw the battle of Primes, he gained a lot of comprehensions.
Countless strands of light formed clues in Xiao Chen's mind, intertwining with each other. Many ideas appeared, but they were quickly rejected. Xiao Chen eliminated the clues in his mind.
At the same time, Xiao Chen's body started to move slowly.
The lake water under his feet alternated between being calm and moving. That was Xiao Chen's continuous trial and error.
Time passed slowly. After some time, only one of the complicated clues remained in Xiao Chen's mind.
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, he instantly executed the first move of the Flawless Saber Technique.
"Break!"
The instant the light vanished, Xiao Chen's body vanished as well. When Xiao Chen reappeared, he was one hundred meters away. Then, he used his palm as a saber and slowly descended.
A crack that was a thousand meters long silently appeared on the smooth surface of the lake. Looking down from the crack, one could see the silt below with the naked eye.
One second passed. Two seconds passed. The crack that had appeared on the surface of the lake still hadn't closed. It was like an invisible wall had forcefully parted the lake water in half, looking exceptionally strange.
However, only Xiao Chen knew that the thing spreading through the crack was the saber intent of his Void Breaking Stance.
What was even stranger was that such a mighty saber strike did not cause any commotion on the lake surface.
Xiao Chen revealed an excited expression as he muttered to himself, "This is really wondrous. Controlling the air with the saber. So, this is how it feels. Controlling is not truly controlling space. Instead, it is leaping out of space, turning it into a flat ground and moving about.
"This saber strike of mine can be considered to be truly perfected. Next, I will use this battle to derive the second move of the Flawless Saber Technique."
Xiao Chen's eyes gleamed with strong confidence. He had a premonition. He had a premonition that the day this Flawless Saber Technique was completed would be the day the Kunlun Realm's Saber Sovereign would change hands.
Naturally, it would be Xiao Chen.
"Blue Dragon King, the Vice Sect Master invites you to Meteor Trail City." Just as Xiao Chen was savoring the many mysteries of this move, Elder Ma quickly flew over.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and withdrew his joyful and excited expression. Then, he asked calmly, "Elder Ma, do you know why the Vice Sect Master is looking for me?"
Elder Ma smiled and replied, "He did not say the specifics. However, I heard that the Vice Sect Master gathered all the people in charge of the ninth layer. He probably has something important to discuss."
"In that case, I … I'll go."
Meteor Trail City was very far from Maple Leaf Lake, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. Even when Xiao Chen executed the Fish Dragon Art to rush over, it took him four hours.
The Emperor's aura lingered at the city gates, but it still did not scatter. When Xiao Chen looked up, he could still see the remnant marks in the sky where the two Primes had fought. It was like the two Primes were still fighting.
As Xiao Chen stood below the city gates and looked back, he could not help but sigh when he saw the shattered mountains and rivers.
That place had once been a bustling city of the Haotian Province. Now, it had turned into a patch of yellow soil, flattened.
"Is the Blue Dragon King Xiao Chen below the city gates?" someone shouted from the city walls.
Xiao Chen found this voice somewhat familiar. When he looked up, he saw a person dressed in purple with a sharp gaze. This person's handsome face gave off a resolute air, and his long hair fluttered in the wind.
How familiar! Xiao Chen thought for a moment and immediately recalled who this person was.
The Thunder and Lightning Palace's An Junxi, the former leader of the Tianwu Domain's seven giants. The first time Xiao Chen saw this person, the might of his whip had shocked him greatly.
However, it was not strange for this person to be in Meteor Trail City. So many experts of the Thunder and Lightning Palace had come, including the Vice Palace Master. An Junxi's presence here made perfect sense.
If Xiao Chen guessed right, An Junxi should be like Xiao Chen, responsible for guarding a node.
When An Junxi saw Xiao Chen's appearance, he smiled and said, "It looks like Brother Xiao remembers who I am. Activate the formation plate in your hand, and you can pass through the barrier and enter directly. "
Just as Xiao Chen was about to go up, a small head suddenly appeared on the city walls. This person looked pure and charming. Her skin was as smooth as snow, and her eyes looked like pearls and gems.
"Elder Brother Xiao Chen, quickly come up. Quickly come up. Bai has been waiting for a long time."
