Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1363 (Raw 1353): Primes Fighting

Xiao Chen killed one Martial Emperor and let three flee. Below, most of the Ghost Race cultivators perished. No matter how one looked at it, this was a complete victory.

Xiao Chen gently drifted down to the lake where Elder Ma was currently directing the cultivators in clearing up the Ghost Race corpses on the lake surface and collecting war trophies.

When Elder Ma saw Xiao Chen land, he immediately flew over with a smile. "Little Brother Xiao Chen, you are really incredible. This battle was truly delightful."

Xiao Chen was rather clear on the actual situation. He smiled softly and said, "It is just that the Deity Dao Union does not know that I am here. The next time, they will be prepared. It will probably be much more difficult then."

After Elder Ma gave these words some thought, his expression sank somewhat. "It looks like it is indeed too early for me to celebrate. However, no matter what, with Little Brother Xiao Chen here, I am fully confident of Maple Leaf Lake's defenses."

"That's right. As long as the Azure Dragon King is here, we will definitely be able to defend Maple Leaf Lake."

The Supreme Sky Sect disciples and the Thunder and Lightning Palace disciples all cheered at the same time. Clearly, Xiao Chen had become a pillar of strength in their hearts.

Xiao Chen felt worried, but he could not show it in front of everyone. After speaking with Elder Ma for a while, he returned to his accommodations alone.

It was already noon. However, the interminable mysterious phenomena and the incessantly trembling space churned the clouds and covered the sun. Not a single ray of sunlight shone down.

The battle at Maple Leaf Lake had ended, but that did not mean that the battles at the other nodes were over. This was especially so for the core node of the ninth layer: Meteor Trail City.

At this moment, Meteor Trail City faced wave after wave of ferocious attacks. Most of the Deity Dao Union's Martial Emperors and King Grade warships were gathered there.

As long as Meteor Trail City fell, the entire ninth layer of formation would crumble out of existence. The Deity Dao Union would also be able to advance further.

Inside his wooden hut, Xiao Chen did not show any concern about the situation elsewhere.

He sat down cross-legged and placed his palms flat on his knees as he circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, continuously absorbing Spiritual Energy and nourishing his Law Energy.

In Xiao Chen's Heart of an Emperor, one hundred strands of Primordial Energy intertwined with each other, forming a purple whirlpool.

Below the whirlpool was a lake where pure Law Energy gathered. Countless purple specks fell like rain, nourishing the lake.

After that, the lake would support the purple whirlpool in tempering the hundred strands of Primordial Energy.

This was an exceptionally troublesome way to cultivate. If Xiao Chen could directly absorb Primordial Energy, he would not need to continue cultivating his Heavenly Laws and Law Energy.

There was nothing he could do. In this abandoned land, there were all sorts of limitations on the absorption of Primordial Energy.

There was a rumor that only when one reached Prime would most of these limitations be gone. This was also one of the reasons why Primes could easily refine Primordial Pills.

As Xiao Chen silently cultivated, the mysterious sword box on his back sent out strands of warm energy as well. Extremely mysteriously, it strengthened the Spiritual Energy that Xiao Chen absorbed.

After two days, the sword box had become much lighter. However, it was still unknown when the seal could be lifted.

Without a saber in hand, Xiao Chen's strength dropped by one-quarter. Furthermore, this was with his comprehension of the Flawless Saber Dao. If it were another bladesman, without a saber they were used to or compatible with, their combat prowess would drop by at least half.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The sound of knocking rang out. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and waved casually, causing the door to open gently.

Elder Ma, Mo Chen, and Yue Bingyun entered together. Then, Elder Ma handed Xiao Chen three jade bottles. He said with a smile, "Little Brother Xiao, this is your reward: three bottles of Primordial Pills, corresponding to the three Martial Emperors you killed. Each bottle contains five pills. The envoy of the inner hall was stunned by your military merits. No one else has managed to obtain as many Primordial Pills yet."

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. Primordial Pills. These were genuinely good stuff.

His attainment of one hundred strands of Primordial Energy was closely related to the Primordial Pills that the Flame Rock Sovereign gave him.

As Elder Ma handed the jade bottles to Xiao Chen, he failed to cover up the look of envy in his eyes. Xiao Chen smiled. This was a normal human response. He was not going to nitpick this.

"How is the situation of the other nodes?" Xiao Chen asked after receiving the Primordial Pills. He clearly felt that this attack of the Deity Dao Union was unusually ferocious.

Elder Ma sighed, "Quite worrying. Several nodes nearly fell. Fortunately, the Fiend Race reinforcements arrived in time. The battles in most of the other areas already ended. The casualties are rather drastic. Only Meteor Trail City is still fighting."

The Fiend Race reinforcements arrived?

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he asked, "Should we go and provide reinforcements?"

Elder Ma shook his head and said, "There's no need. Our node is also very important. If Meteor Trail City requires assistance, there will be a trail of fire surging into the sky that will be visible for millions of kilometers."

Xiao Chen nodded and was about to say something when, suddenly, the entire defense line trembled intensely.

Undercurrents surged in Maple Leaf Lake, the upheaval scattering the fallen maple leaves on the water in every direction.

"What's going on?"

Horror flashed on the faces of Mo Chen and Yue Bingyun as they exclaimed in confusion.

The horrific event happened without any warning, appearing very strange.

Only Xiao Chen and Elder Ma felt fearful in their hearts as they exchanged glances. They roughly guessed what happened.

These two had condensed Hearts 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, "Now, there are three known Primes in the Deity Dao Union: the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch. It was impossible for it to be the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, as the effects would have been even greater. The only possibilities are the Heaven Punishing Corpse God or the East Mountain Ghost Monarch."

Xiao Chen added, "The aura of the Ghost Race is extremely sinister. If it was the East Mountain Ghost Monarch, we should have felt a chill. It is likely the Heaven Punishing Corpse God."

Mo Chen exclaimed in shock, "A Prime appearing so early, are they moving forward the decisive battle?"

Elder Ma rejected this possibility. "That should not be. If we have the final decisive battle now, both sides won't be able to handle the consequences. This is probably only a foray. However, even such an exchange between Primes will still spread shock waves far and wide. Furthermore, whoever ends up at a disadvantage will deal a great blow to the morale of their side."

Xiao Chen agreed with Elder Ma's opinion. In fact, he believed that the key to this war was not the Primes but the Martial Emperors under Prime.

Primes were the peak existences of the Kunlun Realm. They absolutely would not fight to the death. Even if they were sworn enemies, they would have this tacit understanding between them.

"Ying Zongtian, since advancing to Prime, you still have not truly exchanged moves with anyone. Do you dare to fight with this Corpse God?!"

A hearty laugh came from above the mysterious phenomena in the sky.

Along with this laugh, the many mysterious phenomena in the sky vanished like smoke. The continuously churning clouds split into two down the middle and parted.

The sunlight that had not been seen for a long time reappeared, shining for millions of kilometers around as the dark and gloomy sky was swept away.

The sunlight entered through the windows, dappling the wooden hut where Xiao Chen was.

Peering at the sky through the window, Xiao Chen saw a stout middle-aged man with his torso bared walking over to Meteor Trail City.

Instantly, the auras of the Deity Dao Union cultivators assaulting Meteor Trail City soared, and their attacks became sharper.

"Corpse God? Big Brother Xing Tian, both you and I know that there is no god in this world. Why be like that Deity Race group, cheating others and themselves?"

[TL Note: The name Xing Tian translates to Heaven Punishing. This means that the Heaven Punishing Corpse God is likely related to Xing Jue, his personal disciple.]

A blazing sun rose up in Supreme Sky City. This sun was like a fire spreading through the sky for millions of kilometers.

A figure slowly walked out of this sun. This figure stared straight at the Heaven Punishing Corpse God from a boundless distance.

"God or not, these are just minor details. There is no need for any nonsense. I'll ask you this: do you dare to walk out of the Worldly Mountain River Great Sun Formation and fight?!" the Heaven Punishing Corpse God demanded as he met the figure's gaze.

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God advanced to Prime at least a thousand years ago. He was confident in fighting against Ying Zongtian, so he challenged Ying Zongtian to a fight again.

"Why not?!"

Ying Zongtian arrived, flying through the sky while standing on that sun. A battle between Primes was about to start.
