Ji Zong smiled and said, "This time, my Senior Brother brought the Xuan River Mirror. It can summon our Xuanshui Sect's secret treasure, the Xuan River Phantom. Xiao Chen, do you still think my Senior Brother is arrogant?"
"After killing you, my name will spread throughout the world, and I'll plunder your karmic luck and treasures. Then, I'll take all the treasures in this Sky Palace and complete my Senior Brother's unparalleled ambition. "
During the Immortal Epoch, there was a river in the Heavenly Court that the Immortals built. It was as famous as the Underworld River of the Netherworld Purgatory, the Profound River.
When the Immortal Epoch ended, the Profound River broke into several pieces and landed in the Kunlun Realm. Many famous rivers were once the Profound River.
In the Ancient Era, the Xuanshui Sect's Sect Master had obtained a Profound River, which had fallen in quality and was not too powerful. He refined it into an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure and gained some of the might of the Immortal Dao Profound River.
If the sect's disciples held the Profound River Mirror, they could summon the image of the Profound River and bring out some of this Emperor Grade Secret Treasure's power.
Under the Dusk River's pressure, Xiao Chen couldn't even use half of his strength. If it weren't for his powerful body, he would've been beaten to death by the blue-robed elder.
Yao Chen was also secretly alarmed. His master had once said that as long as this Mysterious River Mirror was activated, a Grandmaster wouldn't be able to last more than ten breaths inside.
Only a Great Grandmaster could break free from it. As of now, Xiao Chen was only a peak Medial Grade Martial Sage. Unexpectedly, he could endure for so long.
Amid the heavy waves, Xiao Chen felt intense pain all over his body. However, his heart was as clear as a mirror. He was a bladesman who had condensed a saber soul.
After transcending the Lightning Tribulation and Heart Tribulation, with just a thought, he would be able to get rid of all the distracting thoughts. Fear, cowardice, and panic would not appear on him.
If my Saber Soul improves further and reaches Small Perfection, I can easily break through this Profound River image.
If my physical body improved further, reaching Rank 4 Sage Body, this image would not be able to suppress me.
However, it was a pity that they were still lacking a little, allowing these fellows to be so pleased with themselves.
Could it be that he would have to use the Thunder Source here?
Right now, Xiao Chen's cultivation had already reached peak Medial Grade Martial Sage. With the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's accumulations, he could compete with grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
As long as Xiao Chen took the final step and broke through the bottleneck of Medial Grade Martial Sage, the image of an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure would be easy to deal with.
After dodging the blue-robed old man's attack with much difficulty, Xiao Chen peered through the watery space and saw Yao Chen toss a Medicinal Pill into his mouth.
Raising his eyebrows, Xiao Chen revealed a smile. With Yao Chen's cultivation, it seemed that using the Profound River Mirror for such a long period of time was not as easy as it seemed.
If that was the case, things would be much easier!
He circulated the Blue Dragon Body Nourishing Art and circulated the Dragon Energy in his body.
Under the suppression of this Profound River image, Xiao Chen's usage of Law Energy was restricted. Only his Vital Qi was unrestricted and could circulate freely.
The instant Yao Chen swallowed the Medicinal Pill and prepared to circulate his energy to digest it was also the moment when the Profound River image was at its weakest.
Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Xiao Chen shouted and burned his Dragon Energy. Then, he punched the air.
One Dragon Force was five thousand tons of force. When Xiao Chen burned his Dragon Energy, he could exert fifteen thousand tons of force. Even mountains and rivers would crumble before this.
"Bang!"
The Dusk River collapsed, and the curtain of water shook violently, forming tiny cracks in space.
Cracks appeared in the Profound River Mirror. The rebound of the Emperor Grade Secret Treasure forced Yao Chen, who had just swallowed the Sage Grade Medicinal Pill, to vomit a mouthful of blood. His complexion turned incredibly pale.
In an instant, his body felt unprecedentedly relaxed. Xiao Chen's aura recovered to its peak. He wished he could roar to the sky to vent the joy in his heart.
Xiao Chen looked around and saw the blue-robed old man charging over with the sound of heavy waves. He shouted coldly, "How dare you be so arrogant? Scram!"
With the addition of his saber soul, Xiao Chen raised his Flawless saber Dao to its peak. His body became a saber, his thoughts became a saber, and a bright moon rose up behind him.
"Boom!" After recovering his strength, Xiao Chen punched the blue-robed old man and sent him flying. A boundless saber intent shot out from Xiao Chen's body, buzzing and causing the palace under his feet to tremble.
Before this saber intent, some of the small restrictions in the surroundings were like bubbles, shattering bit by bit.
"Let's go. This brat is too horrifying.
I'll bring up the rear, "the blue-robed old man said hurriedly to Yao Chen and Ji Zong as he wiped the blood off his lips.
Yao Chen paled. After suffering the rebound of the Emperor Grade Secret Treasure, he was incredibly weak. He waved the Profound River Mirror, and a watery screen formed. Then, he and Ji Zong quickly jumped in.
"You are someone who is about to die. What are you going to bring up the rear? Cycle Banner, come out!"
Xiao Chen waved one hand, and the Cycle Banner unfurled. A scarlet killing Qi leaped out of the Astral Pearl and formed a bloody "kill" character.
This easily broke the old man's Martial Technique, causing him to vomit another mouthful of blood and take two steps back.
The grayish-white "destroy" character and the black "die" character carried heavy starlight as they struck the old man's body, thoroughly grinding down his sharpness.
The "die" character gathered dense Death Qi and sucked away a lot of the old man's lifeforce. His complexion aged at least ten years.
Xiao Chen shook the tip of the banner and pierced through the old man's chest, killing him.
The watery screen behind Xiao Chen grew dimmer. Yao Chen's blurry image said, "Xiao Chen, just you wait. On the day of your King conferral ceremony, I will definitely bring the Profound River Mirror and give you a big surprise!"
"Thirsty."
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and starlight gathered once more. Seven stars flickered, and the Cycle Banner flew towards Yao Chen at the speed of a meteor.
This startled Yao Chen, who was in the watery screen, and he quickly pulled Ji Zong over to shield him.
A miserable shriek resounded as the watery screen vanished with Yao Chen. The Cycle Banner pinned Ji Zong to the ground. He held onto the banner pole with both hands, dying with a remaining grievance.
With this battle over, Xiao Chen relaxed. He immediately felt fatigued. The injuries suppressed by the Profound River Mirror earlier flared up like a torrential storm.
After putting away the spatial rings of the two, Xiao Chen took out a Rank 9 Medicinal Pill from Mister Qin's collection and swallowed it. Then, he started to recover from his injuries.
With the strength of Xiao Chen's physical body, as long as no one disturbed him, he could recover to his peak in less than an hour.
If Xiao Chen had not given all the Sage Grade Medicinal Pills to Ye Chen, his recovery would have been much faster.
Just as Xiao Chen's injuries were about eighty percent healed, Lord Jiu, who had fled when he saw that the situation was bad, rushed back and said, "Little Brother Xiao! Little Brother Xiao! That fellow Ye Chen is about to be played to death by Di Wuque."
Xiao Chen's eyes widened, and a brilliant light flashed in them. He noticed that Lord Jiu said "playing" and not "fighting."
The difference of one word meant two different endings.
Ignoring the fact that his injuries were still twenty percent healed, Xiao Chen stood up and took out the white wings. Then, he sent his Spiritual Sense into them and placed his Spiritual Mark on them.
"Whoosh!" The wings spread out and turned into thousands of pure-white feathers that entered Xiao Chen's back and shoulder blades.
In that instant, Xiao Chen felt like his body was as light as the wind. Every cell of his body, his flesh, his bones, and his skin became light. With a 'pu' sound, he soared into the air.
The ten-meter-long wings on Xiao Chen's back spread out, and a cool breeze circled around Xiao Chen, giving off a crystalline white light.
Freedom!
This word suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. The wind was calling out to him. It was like there was no place in the world that he could not reach.
Lord Jiu, who was at the side, was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen in the air. Xiao Chen was clearly very close, but the other party seemed to be infinitely far away, going with the wind.
This Freedom Wings also contained a Magic Skill. Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. He checked it and found that this Magic Skill was called So Close Yet Worlds Apart. Even the ends of the world were within reach.
However, even if Xiao Chen drained all his Magic Energy, he would not be able to do it.
As for how far this Magic Skill could be, it would depend on Xiao Chen's strength and how much Magic Energy he was willing to expend.
Xiao Chen felt his Magic Energy flowing like a river in his sea of consciousness. He did not delay any longer. He grabbed Lord Jiu and said, "Show me the way!"
A cool breeze blew. Under Lord Jiu's guidance, Xiao Chen relied on the Freedom Wings to pass through several small restrictions, heading forward unobstructed.
No, there are too many restrictions. I still have to pass through several large restrictions with peak King Grade Magic Treasures. Given my identity, I will definitely be discovered. At that time, I will attract even more trouble.
Xiao Chen thought for a while. Then, he quickly burned his Magic Energy and activated the Magic Skill of the Freedom Wings, So Close Yet Worlds Apart.
The space in front of Xiao Chen folded. Many scenes of grandmaster-level Martial Sages fighting over Magic Treasures and cultivators dying miserably in restrictions appeared.
These scenes were like pictures flashing before Xiao Chen's eyes. Suddenly, Ye Chen's figure appeared. Di Wuque knocked Ye Chen into the air with a palm strike. Just as Ye Chen was about to land, a palm strike from a distance sent him flying again.
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat, and the moving scenes froze here. Then, he took a step forward and used So Close Yet Worlds Apart. He passed through many restrictions of various sizes and stepped out.
When Lord Jiu landed on the ground, the folded space bounced back. Lord Jiu was curious and wanted to take a look.
Xiao Chen said directly, "Don't look back. Be careful not to pull you in, and your blood will splash for fifty kilometers around."
This startled Lord Jiu, and he quickly pulled his head back.
After withdrawing the Freedom Wings, the two of them hid in a small restriction and passed through the fog. Now, they could clearly see Di Wuque, Tianyou Xi, Xiao Qinghan, Xia Dongyang, and the others floating in the air five kilometers ahead.
The others did not make a move. Only Di Wuque remained expressionless. Occasionally, he pointed with his finger, and a golden sword light shot out from his fingertip. In the next moment, a bloody hole appeared in Ye Chen's chest.
Nine finger-sized holes appeared around Ye Chen's heart. They were transparent, allowing wind to enter and exit.
Lord Jiu could not help but say, "When I looked at him earlier, there were only three sword holes in his chest. Now, they are all gaping."
Ye Chen, who was in the air, was in a sorry state. Blood continuously flowed out of his mouth. However, he did not show any sorrow on his face. Instead, he looked incredibly happy. He laughed loudly and said, "Di Wuque, even if you kill me, you cannot change this fact.
"You even dare to humiliate the Divine Daughter. Now, you are speaking such arrogant words. I will take your head on behalf of the Divine Son."
A Frost Moon Palace disciple came out from behind Xiao Qinghan, trying to curry favor with Di Wuque. Xiao Qinghan's expression changed drastically. He tried to pull that disciple back, but he could not.
