The golden saber Qi was not that easy to catch. Teng Xiao held on to this strand of saber Qi and retreated five kilometers in the air before he stabilized himself.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time already. Why did you not come to the Xiao Clan? What are you afraid of?"
Teng Xiao casually tossed aside the golden saber Qi that had already been corroded by the dark Qi. His gaze was like lightning as he stared at Xiao Chen.
"Waiting for me? Are you here to send yourself to death? Chu Chaoyun was right. This Sky Dome Realm's Dark Church does indeed have some connection to my Xiao Clan. "
"Even if you did not come to look for me, I would have come to look for you."
Xiao Chen flipped his right hand, and the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in his palm. His figure flashed, and he executed the starting stance of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique without holding back.
Xiao Chen's ninety-percent-comprehended saber intent and forty-percent-comprehended immortal will of thunder allowed this simple starting stance to burst forth with boundless might.
As electric light burst forth, it radiated a large amount of light. The slender saber pierced through the electric light and quickly chopped at Teng Xiao.
Electricity started to accumulate in the air behind Xiao Chen. As they moved about, sparks flickered everywhere.
Teng Xiao had not expected Xiao Chen to fight him the moment he arrived. He smiled coldly, and a slender saber flickering with a cold light appeared in his hand.
"Dang!"
Teng Xiao Chen gently swung and blocked Xiao Chen's saber. Then, he quickly spun around in the air and gave off electric light, dissipating the force in Xiao Chen's saber.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. This mysterious person who resembled the Qing Emperor was not very strong. However, his combat techniques were not something to be underestimated.
The moment Xiao Chen executed the starting stance, he completely accumulated the momentum of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. The sparks behind him turned into many lightning flood dragons, circling around Xiao Chen.
Teng Xiao did not show any weakness. He shook his wrist, and black dragon images swam around behind him.
As the two fought, Xiao Chen had an overwhelming advantage in terms of cultivation. However, Teng Xiao relied on his combat experience and did not fall into a disadvantage.
Unable to drag things out, Xiao Chen decisively changed his move. He executed a Blue Dragon Goes to Sea and gathered a three-kilometer-long dragon-shaped saber Qi. Auspicious clouds surrounded the dragon as it roared ferociously.
When Teng Xiao saw this move, his lips could not help but curl up. He smiled and said, "Blue Dragon Goes to Sea, and you dare to use this move before me?"
The tip of Teng Xiao's foot pushed against the void, and his body soared up. He stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the dragon's head.
Teng Xiao pushed off and soared. Then, he shot to the dragon head. However, Xiao Chen already knew the weakness of this move and had already made up for it. How could the other party succeed?
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and the somewhat rigid dragon-shaped saber Qi seemed to come to life. It shook its head and wagged its tail, baring its fangs and claws.
Teng Xiao was startled. Clearly, he had not expected such a change. He could not figure out how to grab the dragon head.
Without waiting for Teng Xiao to retreat, Xiao Chen shouted, and the dragon-shaped saber Qi pressed down ruthlessly.
Teng Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and was sent flying ten thousand meters in the void.
After Teng Xiao stabilized himself, he laughed loudly, not caring about his injuries. He said loudly, "Good! Good! Good!"
Teng Xiao said "good" three times in a row. Then, he continued, "Blue Dragon Goes to Sea, you really used this move beautifully. Indeed, you did not disappoint me. It is impolite not to reciprocate. Receive this move of mine as well. Blue Dragon Goes to Sea! "
Teng Xiao waved his right hand, and the saber appeared in his palm again. A boundless scarlet sea appeared behind him, filled with white bones and surging resentment.
That was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. A boundless dark aura lingered above the scarlet sea, looking strange and evil.
Teng Xiao roared, and a black dragon soared up from the scarlet sea. Its eyes shone with a scarlet light, and its black scales layered over each other.
Teng Xiao soared into the air and hacked down with his saber. The black dragon gathered on the saber, forming a strange dragon-shaped saber Qi that surged towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen revealed a horrified expression. It was not because of the might of this move but because this mysterious Dark Church cultivator really knew the Dragon Subduing Slash.
Xiao Chen pushed off the air and materialized the stance of Soaring Dragon, turning into a True Dragon and soaring into the sky.
Hidden Dragon in the Depths, Soaring Dragon in the Sky. It was fine if it did not fly, but it soared into the sky!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three crisp sounds rang out, and the evil black dragon was forcefully broken into three pieces by the stance of Soaring Dragon that Xiao Chen materialized.
After breaking this move, Xiao Chen looked up and discovered that that person had already fled. The mysterious phenomenon of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood also vanished. The dark aura spreading in the sky slowly dissipated.
However, the three pieces of the black dragon lingered in the air for a long time, as if they had already solidified.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. If this "person" had not been far weaker than him, this mutated Blue Dragon Goes to Sea would not have been easy to deal with.
"That person earlier seems to be the Church Master of the Dark Church. Ten thousand years ago, he rampaged everywhere. He also contributed to the destruction of the Tianwu Dynasty."
Ao Jiao said slowly, her eyes filled with doubt. She continued, "According to rumor, he was killed by the Holy Lord of the Three Holy Masters's Holy Land. Why did he appear again today?"
Xiao Chen did not chase after this person. He felt that this person was just a clone and not the true body.
Unexpectedly, there was such a horrifying enemy of unknown origins in the Sky Dome Realm. No wonder Xiao Chen's father was so worried back then.
If Xiao Chen succeeded in his tribulation, he had to uproot the Dark Church in the Sky Dome Realm.
The appearance of this mysterious person cast a shadow over Xiao Chen's heart. Not only was this person's appearance strange, but his identity was also suspicious.
Why did this person appear in Mohe City's Xiao Clan? If his clone was already so strong, how strong would his true body be?
Chu Chaoyun said that the Dark Church was connected to the Xiao Clan. How did this person know?
Many doubts appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. He turned his head to look at the bustling Xiao Clan and the lively faces. Then, he cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and left with a resolute expression.
Half a day later, Xiao Chen landed on a desolate island in the Boundless Sea. There were no humans or beasts on the island; it was a completely desolate island.
Similar islands dotted the vast Boundless Sea like the stars in the sky. They were very ordinary and would not attract the attention of others when undergoing a tribulation. This was the best choice.
There was a small mountain on the island. Xiao Chen jumped onto it and sat cross-legged at the summit. He looked up at the clear blue sky.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. A cool chill came from the Sea Monarch Headscarf on his forehead, causing his entire body to calm down, both inside and out.
After spitting out a long breath of turbid Qi, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and started to circulate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
The power of natural laws quickly circulated in his meridians. Not long after, a thunderous sound rang out in his body. Lightning flashed in the mysterious small world in his dantian. The Blue Dragon Martial Spirit swam around carefully, dodging the lightning.
The dantian was the most mysterious place in a cultivator's body. It looked like a pearl, hanging between the belly button and the sternum. However, if one cut open the belly of a cultivator, one would not see the so-called dantian.
The dantian was not an organ, bone, or flesh. It existed between reality and illusion. It was a world of its own, containing the cultivator's Essence, Quintessence, and Heavenly Sage Laws.
A cultivator used their body as a vessel. Actually, this referred to the space in the dantian. The size and toughness of this space determined how much Quintessence and Spiritual Energy a cultivator could contain.
The dantian was the cornerstone of this small world. If the dantian was destroyed, the small world would cease to exist. Naturally, the cultivator would be crippled.
Rumor had it that once one reached the level of Emperor Wu, one would grasp Heavenly Laws and be compatible with the world. One could change this small world, materializing a world of mountains and rivers.
At this moment, this small world was filled with lightning. The tiny Blue Dragon Martial Spirit dodged everywhere. However, it still found it hard to escape. Occasionally, it would get struck by lightning.
Every time it struck, Xiao Chen felt like he was experiencing it himself. Every cell in his body — his internal organs, his flowing blood, his tough bones, and his skin — endured the baptism of lightning.
Even the depths of his soul were trembling, enduring great torment.
There were no visible changes to Xiao Chen's outer appearance. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, silently circulating the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. However, his physical body and soul were suffering from both torment and boundless pain.
Xiao Chen's entire body felt like thousands of silver needles were stabbing him continuously. He clenched his teeth and endured. To him, who cultivated the physical body, such pain was not unbearable.
However, the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit in Xiao Chen's dantian became dispirited and listless. It looked like it would disappear at any moment. However, Xiao Chen's heart was as clear as a mirror.
Under the tempering of the lightning, the inner charm of the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit became even more spirited. It was filled with a divine nature, as if a true soul was condensed within it.
The Lightning Tribulation of the Martial Spirit lasted for half a day before it finally stopped. Several sticky black impurities flowed out of Xiao Chen's body.
Xiao Chen's Heavenly Sage Laws shook the impurities off his body and scattered them with the wind.
This Martial Spirit Tribulation had been extremely arduous. However, Xiao Chen had gained a lot as well. Using this opportunity, his peak Rank 2 Sage Body finally broke through to Rank 3 Sage Body.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, Now that I'm at full power, I should be able to achieve one thousand five hundred tons of force. That would be another breakthrough.
Xiao Chen's physical body's recovery ability and ability to resist attacks had also improved. Even without a Cultivation Technique or Martial Technique that specialized in protecting the body, Xiao Chen's physical body was much stronger than before.
Xiao Chen's defense should have already reached the level of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage. After all, a regular grandmaster-level Martial Sage's physical body would barely reach the level of a Rank 2 Sage Body.
Xiao Chen did not specialize in Vital Qi, so he could not compare to Xiao Chen.
However, Xiao Chen did not know how his Martial Spirit was doing now. The Blue Dragon Martial Spirit in his dantian was now only a small spot of light. It was incredibly bright, but he could not sense it at all.
Startling thunder roared by his ears. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at the sky.
Boundless thunderclouds stretched for thousands of kilometers, churning and extremely heavy. The sky seemed to be several times lower than usual. With just a gentle leap, it would be within reach.
Bolts of lightning tore through the sky, and thunder roared continuously. The seawater churned endlessly, kicking up huge waves. The entire island shook.
The island was like a lone boat that had left the ground, bobbing up and down in the seawater.
The wind and clouds moved, and the sky changed color. Rivers and seas churned. Thunderclouds covered the ground, and a myriad of phenomena appeared. It was like a deity in the sky was glaring at Xiao Chen.
