Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1412 (Raw 1403): A Sword in the Hand as He Stepped on the Sky

Lunar Shadow Saber, Lunar Shadow Saber!

My Lunar Shadow Saber. How could it let other sabers bully me?

Xiao Chen watched somewhat distractedly. He gently extended his hand, and the Lunar Shadow Saber immediately put down its pride and slowly flew over.

Using his full force, he grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber tightly. However…he was disappointed yet again. He still could not draw the saber out.

Xiao Chen shook his head and put down the Lunar Shadow Saber. Then, with a flick of a finger, the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron flew out of the Universe Ring and landed firmly on the ground.

A flame spun around in his left eye. Then, after a while, the Lunar True Flame surged out.

"Boom!"

The Dragon Phoenix Cauldron filled with flames. Then, Xiao Chen thrust his hand out, sending in the Destruction Throne. Then, he looked at Pride. Pride felt dissatisfied but still slowly flew to the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. After the two were inside, he immediately closed the lid.

Xiao Chen had already experienced this merger six times and was very familiar with it by now. He proceeded with every step in an orderly fashion.

"Buzz!" On the chariot, Envy came out of its sheath first. Then, Xiao Chen extended his hand and tapped it. The saber shone with a bright light that pierced through the sky, sending starlight into the cauldron.

Xiao Chen's refining methods came from the secret manual of the Cyclic Astral Palace's Big Dipper Palace disciples. After practicing it to a profound level, he needed to infuse starlight into the cauldron.

At first, Xiao Chen had needed to pull over Astral Energy by himself. Now that there were six Divine Weapons that successfully merged with thrones, he could use them to pull Astral Energy, so the process was considerably easier.

The six Divine Weapons unsheathed one after another. The starlight appeared like pillars of light as they shot into the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron with a bright brilliance.

The dragons and phoenixes carved on the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron looked like they came to life in the brilliance, dancing around and chasing each other continuously.

In Xiao Chen's Heart of an Emperor, Primordial Energy drained continuously. He formed hand seals as he sent beams of light into the cauldron.

This made the flame in the cauldron even more ferocious. The starlight pouring in was like oil added to fire.

Merging the two items was not easy. It exhausted a lot of energy, a great test of one's mind and Primordial Energy. Once the mind faltered, one would make mistakes with the hand seals. If the Primordial Energy could not keep up with the expenditure, it would result not just in failure but also the explosion of the two treasures.

Hence, Xiao Chen could not make a mistake in any step. Once a mistake was made, there would not be a second chance.

Remaining this careful, he spent copious amounts of Primordial Energy at every moment for an entire month.

Whether it was day or night, the place was always filled with glistering starlight, and the sky was that of night. Fortunately, there was no one for five hundred kilometers around. Even if this lasted for half a year, no one would discover this.

On this particular day, starlight gathered, and saber Qi knocked off the cauldron lid. Xiao Chen, who had been anxious for an entire month, finally relaxed.

At this step, his responsibility was mostly over already.

Wait, something is wrong. Normally, the instant the cauldron lid flew off, Pride should have flown out.

This was what happened with the merger of the previous six Divine Weapons. In which case, did something go wrong?

Just as Xiao Chen was about to send his Spiritual Sense in to check, the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron exploded with a 'bang.' Strictly speaking, it was not an explosion. Rather, a saber light hacked it into pieces.

Pride demolished the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron and soared into the air to directly chop down on Xiao Chen.

A Divine Weapon swallowing the master!

The saber was filled with the violent state of destruction. Saber Qi suffused with the state of destruction flew about wildly, creating many scary cracks in the ground.

"Rumble…" Loud sounds rang out endlessly. Everywhere the saber passed, the ground ruptured. An enormous amount of dirt soared into the air in an instant, covering the sky and sun. It was like a berserk dragon filled with destructive power.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Six Divine Weapons flew out one after another, shielding Xiao Chen. However, with just one exchange, Pride thrust them aside.

After the merger with the Destruction Throne, Pride's sharpness had grown considerably, becoming overwhelming.

In mere moments, Pride charged to less than two meters from Xiao Chen.

However, it was like an invisible wall shielded Xiao Chen, which Pride could not pierce no matter what.

The fatigued Xiao Chen revealed a smile. It looked like the result of the merger was pretty good.

"Enough playing."

Xiao Chen sent out a backhand slap, and Pride gave off a 'clang' as it went flying far away, all of its sharp light scattered.

No matter how proud you are, you are just a saber. I can be friends with a saber, but I absolutely will never be a saber's slave.

"Come back!" Xiao Chen called softly. The seven Divine Weapons all returned and stabbed into the back of the Cycle Throne.

When the seven Divine Weapons returned to their sheaths, the lines on the Cycle Throne all lit up, giving off a beautiful, magnificent light. Then, the Cycle Throne started spinning uncontrollably.

What's going on?

With the throne spinning rapidly, Xiao Chen did not have any time to think. Soon, the spinning throne kicked up a strong sandstorm, forming a huge tornado that looked like a three-kilometer-long saber.

Many strange scenes appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes. However, they flashed by too quickly. He only managed to see and remember one complete scene.

The sky was filled with dark clouds. A man holding a sword stood upright above the Sky Dome Realm's Hidden Dragon Lake. Nine Dragon Veins soared under his feet. As the Dragon Veins flew around, the entire Tianwu Continent started shaking. Countless cities collapsed, countless tall mountains crumbled. The vast sea dried up. All this happened in just one breath.

As the scene enlarged, the other lower realms made from the other Immortal Lords' abodes seemed to be directed by the Sky Dome Realm, turning into beams of light and heading for the Sky Dome Realm.

That was a grand and magnificent scene. It seemed like the three thousand lower realms were going to merge into one. This person holding the sword would step on them, forming an undefeatable dynasty.

"Ten thousand years is one cycle. Only one chance will come every ten thousand years. Azure Dragon King, you still have not drawn your saber. Until when are you going to wait?!"

That person pointed his sword to the front. At the end of his vision was a white-clad person on a Taiji Diagram, standing in the Starry Heavens.

"Crack!"

This scene shattered, and the throne stopped spinning. Xiao Chen felt his entire body go weak, utterly devoid of strength.

The cycle of all things was fate. In that earlier moment, he seemed to have seen his own fate.

Was the person holding the sword Chu Chaoyun?

What exactly was the hatred between Chu Chaoyun and Xiao Chen? What kind of chance presented itself only once every ten thousand years?

Xiao Chen did not believe in fate. He had never believed in it. In the Three Life Mirror, he did not choose the future. However, it seemed like fate would not give him the chance to flee. Whether he was willing or not, he would not be able to avoid the battle with Chu Chaoyun.

"It looks like there really is some unavoidable cause and effect there. Regardless of what I want, someone already sowed the cause ten thousand years ago," Xiao Chen muttered to himself, entering deep thought.

A chance that came once every ten thousand years. Ten thousand years ago, the last Tianwu Emperor and the Azure Emperor fought each other. Ten thousand years later, it would be his and Chu Chaoyun's turn to fight.

Never mind. When I am stronger and go to the Azure Dragon Palace, I will know the answer.

Now, I've got to see how the state of cycle has merged.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes, and with a thought, he sent out a strand of Spiritual Sense to check on the mental world inside the throne.

Seven lights of different colors surrounded him, whirling around him nonstop.

Massacre, destruction, ruin, pain, grief, despair, and death. For the first time, Xiao Chen grasped all seven states together. This feeling was really wonderful.

He reached out and grabbed all seven lights. Instantly, seven emotions entered his brain. His willpower remained firm, his heart like a rock as he coldly watched these emotions transformed.

The seven lights mixed continuously but could not truly merge. Xiao Chen thought about the feeling and let go. The seven states immediately scattered.

The Cycle Arts, Xiao Chen still needed the Cycle Arts before he could truly comprehend the state of cycle.

In history, the Evil King of the past also reached this step. However, he failed at the final step.

The Mirage Immortal Palace. Xiao Chen needed to go to this forbidden land to find the Cycle Arts.

The Cyclic Astral Lord once said that he had seen the Cycle Arts on a wall of the Mirage Immortal Palace. Back then, he even promised to accompany Xiao Chen to this forbidden land to help him obtain the Cycle Arts.

However, this person was not trustworthy. Xiao Chen could not form a deep friendship with him, having seen this person's true face. In the end, he had to rely on himself.
