Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand. A bright light burst forth from his forehead, and the purple talisman merged with the strand of immortal will of thunder.
The color of the talisman deepened, and four strands of golden electricity could be seen moving around it. This was the sign of a will of thunder comprehended to forty percent comprehension.
The talisman released a resplendent light, containing an immortal legend. It seemed like there was only one purple Lightning Talisman in the world.
An intense explosion resounded. The purple talisman, which looked like a meteor shield, easily broke the killing moves of the three. Horrifying energy exploded out.
The talisman split into four, turning into four small golden swords dancing in the air.
"Ka ca!
Ka ca! "Horrifying wounds appeared on the bodies of the three Tianwu Dynasty remnant races. Traces of electricity charring the wounds, giving off strands of black smoke.
Miserable shrieks rang out, and horror appeared in the eyes of the three. They had not expected Xiao Chen to subdue the immortal will of thunder that the Thunder King left behind so quickly.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Chen left as quickly as he had come. Seeing that their attack had failed, the three decisively retreated. The protectors of the four nations, who had been indifferent, quickly chased after them, preparing to beat them up while they were down.
The four beams of golden light returned to Xiao Chen's forehead. His body trembled a few times in the air before he landed on Thunder Emperor Valley. Then, he consumed a few Medicinal Pills and calmed himself to treat his injuries.
The dark clouds that had covered Thunder Emperor Valley for thousands of years vanished with the disappearance of the immortal will of thunder.
Sunlight shone down, and the pieces of shattered space slowly merged back together. The injuries on Xiao Chen's body healed at a visible rate.
Xiao Chen could clearly feel his new skin gaining a layer of luster and texture. Under the baptism of lightning, his physical body improved once more, approaching a Rank 3 Sage Body.
After checking his injuries, Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. He would not be able to recover quickly. That was all for now. He still had some things to do.
"Senior, please wait."
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and stopped the Qin Kingdom's guardian, who was about to leave. His figure flashed and he arrived in front of the old man. Looking at the badge on the old man's clothes, Xiao Chen roughly understood the old man's identity.
That emblem was clearly the same as the emblem of the Kunlun Realm's Sovereign Noble Clan, the Ying Clan.
The old man's complexion was pale, but he did not appear weak. He said in a deep voice, "Little friend, you should thank this old man for intervening earlier. It is my duty, so there is no need to take it to heart. Moreover, even if I did not intervene, I believe that little friend would have been able to successfully escape."
Xiao Chen said politely, "Senior, you are being too humble. The situation earlier might seem simple, but it was very dangerous. Outsiders would find it hard to understand. That moment of time you helped me was truly crucial."
At that time, it was a crucial moment for him to fuse with the golden lightning sword, and he couldn't get away at all. If the elder did not make a move, Xiao Chen would have no choice but to use the will avatar of the Haotian Great Emperor.
The old man's expression did not change. However, the expression in his eyes turned much gentler. He was very satisfied with Xiao Chen's humility.
"Haha! I guess that you stopped me because you have something else to discuss, right?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. This old man really had incredible foresight. So, he said directly, "I want to enter the Sky Dome Immortal Realm. Given Senior's position in the Royal Court, it should not be difficult, right?"
In the past half a month, the news of Xiao Chen returning to the Sky Dome Immortal Realm had already spread everywhere. However, there was still no news of Liu Ruyue.
Clearly, Liu Ruyue was in the Sky Dome Immortal Realm. That was why she could not receive news of the outside world. Xiao Chen did not know when she would come out. Since that was the case, he would just go in and look for her personally.
The old man frowned slightly and said, "Right now, a forbidden land in the Sky Dome Immortal Realm is open. The elites of the various Royal Courts are in there. If you go in, it would be inappropriate.
"As for Liu Ruyue's safety, with Ying Yue taking care of her, there is no need for you to worry. Furthermore, her personal strength is extraordinary."
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. The other party only said that it was inappropriate. That meant that he could still go in. The entrance to the Sky Dome Immortal Realm was not closed.
"In that case, I will not make things difficult for Senior. I will definitely repay Senior for this favor in the future."
When the old man heard Xiao Chen say that, he heaved a sigh of relief. If he really sent Xiao Chen in, given Xiao Chen's strength, he would definitely cause a huge commotion in there.
The Royal Courts of the five nations in there all had their own factions. The intense competition was not as simple as the old man made it out to be. If Xiao Chen went in and saw Liu Ruyue suffer any grievances, it would be terrible.
As Xiao Chen watched the old man leave, he made up his mind. He had to go to the Sky Dome Immortal Realm.
It looked like the fortuitous encounters in there were pretty good. No matter what, Xiao Chen had to fight for them for Liu Ruyue. If he could not even do this, then he would not be a man.
In the eyes of the various Royal Courts, the Tianwu Dynasty's remnant races might have spoken casually, but they all treated them as a huge threat.
Now that Xiao Chen injured the three remnant race powerhouses, how could they let go of such a good opportunity?
The four guards of the various nations chased for a while. Just as they were about to catch up to the three, a mysterious masked swordsman suddenly blocked them.
That swordsman's left eye gave off a bright light, but his right eye was filled with boundless darkness. His Sword Technique displayed a strange Sword Dao that merged light and darkness.
After a few exchanges, that swordsman easily blocked the three. After a hundred moves, he smiled gently and withdrew mysteriously.
When Xiao Chen looked again, the three remnant race powerhouses were long gone.
On a small island in the Boundless Sea, the three remnant race powerhouses looked awkwardly at Chu Chaoyun, who had saved them.
Chu Chaoyun removed his mask, but his expression appeared relaxed. He said calmly, "Consider this a lesson for you. Don't casually make a move behind my back."
The Black Dragon Group's Chief appeared conflicted. In the end, he could not help saying, "Young Master, this Xiao Chen is the Qing Emperor's inheritor. In the future, he will definitely be a strong opponent for you. How can you let such a good opportunity go so easily?"
"Indeed. We were just a little short, and we would have been able to kill him. In the future, the Tianwu Dynasty's resurgence would have one less obstacle."
The other two also voiced their agreement.
"Just a little short?" Chu Chaoyun's lips curled up in a smile. "Why do I feel that you were just a little short from being destroyed?
"Tomorrow, I will be leaving the Sky Dome Realm. You should study the cultivation method that I obtained from the Demonic World. Right now, your strength is far from sufficient."
The Black Dragon Group's Chief asked with some concern, "Young Master, are you doing well in the Demonic World?"
Chu Chaoyun replied indifferently, "It is the same everywhere. Strength reigns supreme. Survival of the fittest. There is not much difference between humans and Demons."
It was a simple statement about survival of the fittest, but who knew how many cruel facts were hidden in it.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush to return to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. The strand of will of thunder that the Thunder King left behind still had some loose ends that needed to be dealt with.
Along the way, Xiao Chen found a desolate place. Then, he floated down and opened his right hand. Spots of purple light started to gather on his palm, finally forming a talisman flickering with electric light.
Four strands of golden light quickly flickered in the complicated patterns on the talisman's surface. Each strand of light contained strong energy.
With a thought, the purple Lightning Talisman immediately split into four, turning into four small swords. They flew about in the air, tearing pitch-black cracks in space.
Just by casually flying around, the swords already had such great might. This showed how powerful the manifestation of Xiao Chen's will was.
However, this was where the problem lay. These four small golden swords were the manifestation of the Thunder King's will. No matter what, he was a bladesman.
Sabers and swords were different. How could Xiao Chen bring out the full might of these small golden swords? He could only change them.
Looking at the four small swords in the air, Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He stretched out his hand, and the four small swords merged back into the purple talisman.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Xiao Chen came up with a countermeasure. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the strand of saber soul in his sea of consciousness came out in a flash. "Weng! Weng!
Weng! "
The sound of countless sabers humming rang out in the air. The sabers buzzed as a strong wind blew, quickly spreading the horrifying saber intent.
All the bladesmen within five hundred kilometers felt fear from the bottom of their hearts. They wanted to draw their weapons.
Then, Xiao Chen waved his hand and suppressed the surging saber intent in the saber soul. A small, invisible saber appeared in the air, looking hazy and indistinct; its exact existence could not be seen.
However, that vast might was clearly felt by everyone. The hundreds of grass on the ground bent over, not daring to stand up straight.
Xiao Chen's gaze moved back and forth between the strand of saber soul and the purple Lightning Talisman. Then, he opened his hand and slowly merged the two.
Aside from this method, Xiao Chen could not think of any other way to change the golden lightning sword into a saber from the inside out.
The fusion of the two did not go smoothly. Be it the strand of saber soul or the purple Lightning Talisman, they were both too sharp. Neither was willing to submit to the other. "Chi!
Chi! "The two clashed, clashing intensely. The strand of saber soul was not satisfied with merging with the purple Lightning Talisman. It was not satisfied with the Purple Lightning Talisman at all. Instead, its appetite became even greater, wanting to consume the Purple Lightning Talisman.
Seeing the two separate, Xiao Chen frowned. It looked like his earlier thoughts were too simple.
"Xiao Chen, you cannot do this. You need to choose the main body of the two. Whether you use your will or your saber soul will represent the different paths you will take in the future.
"If you use your saber soul as the main body, your physical body, your physical body, and your Mental Energy Martial Techniques will all be restricted. The benefit is that your Saber Techniques will be more refined.
"If you use your will as the main body, you can develop it in all aspects. Be it your physical body, your Mental Energy Martial Techniques, or your Saber Techniques, you can develop them all. However, your Saber Techniques will be very difficult to improve."
When Ao Jiao saw that Xiao Chen was in a difficult spot and could not make up his mind, she gave him a detailed explanation.
Xiao Chen thought for a while before asking, "Back then, what did the Thunder King choose? I remember that he was a swordsman, right?"
When it came to the Thunder King, naturally, no one understood him better than Ao Jiao. She quickly answered, "The Thunder King's situation was different from yours. His physical body was not as strong as yours, and his Mental Energy was not as strong as yours. His situation was not as complicated as yours, either.
"The form of his will was a sword. The path he took was the path of a swordsman. It was very pure and simple. However, when he reached the peak, no one could defeat him."
