Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1548 (Raw 1530): Limitless Star Burst

Xiao Chen was greatly startled. However, he was currently severely injured and could not even move at all.

He had not expected the Cyclic Astral Lord, who had been ambitious and sanctimonious all along, to make such a sacrifice for him at this critical moment.

Continue to live on properly. Only if you live will the Kunlun Realm have hope.

A voice appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. It was a message sent by the Cyclic Astral Lord.

You should not die, either. I promised to bring you away from the Kunlun Realm.

Leave the Kunlun Realm? Sometimes, humans are really funny. I had been thinking about how to leave the Kunlun Realm. However, I only realized what I truly want at the end.

The Cyclic Astral Lord revealed a bitter smile. The deaths of Chu Yang and Fu Hongyao were a huge blow to him.

Those also allowed the Cyclic Astral Lord to see quite a lot of things clearly.

Even his two disciples felt a strong sense of belonging to the Kunlun Realm. The Cyclic Astral Lord had been in the Kunlun Realm for even longer, yet he kept thinking about how to leave it. Could it be that he was not even comparable to his two disciples?

"Damn it! How dare you ruin my plans?! Cyclic Astral Lord, you must be tired of living!"

The Demonic God raged and its face quickly changed. Under its skin, countless faces squeezed in. Joy, anger, grief, happiness, and all sorts of other expressions switched out continuously, looking very terrifying.

The Cyclic Astral Lord recovered his wits and looked at the other party. He said softly, "You are really pitiful. Is there meaning to living like this?"

"I'll squash you to death like squishing an ant. What qualifications do you have to say that about me?"

Enraged, the Demonic God opened up a gargantuan palm that looked like a piece of the sky shrouding the Cyclic Astral Lord.

Vast Demonic Might pressed down, making it hard for him to speak.

The Cyclic Astral Lord did not have any fear in his heart. He only quietly closed his eyes and murmured, "The sun and moon move in a pattern; the stars travel around the three thousand realms. Limitless Star Burst!"

He formed hand seals with both hands. When he completed the final hand seal, all the acupoints of his body shone with starlight.

It was like each of the Cyclic Astral Lord's acupoints hid a star. He turned transparent and crystalline. His hair gave off faint starlight as it fluttered in the wind.

The Cyclic Astral Lord's entire being seemed to have turned into a painting. As the painting scroll unfurled, it revealed a resplendent, magnificent, majestic, elegant, and boundless star chart.

This bright scene deeply shocked everyone in the dark space.

"This is…the Cyclic Astral Palace's forbidden art, Limitless Star Burst!"

"No…"

When the Cyclic Astral Palace disciples saw this scene, they all went mad. This was the forbidden art passed down by the Cyclic Astral Palace's ancestors. Once one executed it, one would definitely die.

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master and the Bright Moon Empress, who were fighting the Demon Monarchs, were both stunned. Unexpectedly, the Cyclic Astral Lord was so decisive.

"Old friend, why the need for that?!"

"Boom!"

Before everyone's eyes, the Cyclic Astral Lord's crystalline body quickly exploded.

The Demonic God's gargantuan palm exploded with the Cyclic Astral Lord as the explosion radiated out. Half of the Demonic God's body was blasted into nothing.

Anguished shrieks came from the Demonic God's enormous body. Strange, scary sounds spread everywhere.

The miserable and pained cries sounded like wolves howling in chorus at night, torturing everyone's ears.

Dead…

Xiao Chen watched this scene somewhat dispiritedly. Another person dead. The Cyclic Astral Lord chose to self-detonate to save him.

A resplendent light would always be short-lived, passing in an instant. Under the cover of the demonic clouds, the world returned to darkness.

Amid the darkness, the Demonic God shrieked in pain. However, what provoked despair was that its destroyed half quickly regrew and, after a while, completely recovered.

The Demonic God glared at the distant Xiao Chen in a towering rage.

"Die!"

The Demonic God soared into the air and threw a palm strike at Xiao Chen. "Rumble." The instant the Demonic God rose, the mountain peaks in the entire Kunlun Mountain Range started trembling. Countless boulders tumbled to the ground.

"Oh no!"

Just at this critical moment, a loud dragon roar came from the Azure Dragon Palace behind Kunlun Mountain.

A dragon claw extended from the Azure Dragon Palace, growing larger as the wind blew against it. Then, it smacked the Demonic God away before turning into a beam of light that pulled Xiao Chen into the Azure Dragon Palace.

The Demonic God, which was possessed by the Thunder Sovereign, flew back by one kilometer before stopping. When it saw that the dragon claw had returned, it revealed a cold smile.

"This group of people really dares to come out. Are they not afraid of death?"

"Whoosh!"

After the dragon claw returned to the Azure Dragon Palace, the palace soared into the air hastily as if it was afraid of something. It streaked away, vanishing from everyone's eyes.

Upon seeing that the Azure Dragon Palace rescue Xiao Chen, the Primes released their bated breaths. Then, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign let out a roar, and the Deity Race Ancestor opened his eyes, walking out of the tear in space.

The chains on the Corpse Race's ancient coffin burst open, and a ten-thousand-year-old Corpse King blazing with a green flame slowly emerged.

The Martial God Medallion in Ying Zongtian's hand stopped spinning, and a figure materialized from it.

The three existences that surpassed Prime roared ferociously and charged at the Demonic God, which had been sent flying.

"Let's go as well. The Bright Moon Empress and the rest are not going to be able to hold on for much longer."

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign led the charge, arriving at the Bright Moon Empress's fight with the Demonic World's Primes.

As for the Azure Dragon Palace, as it flew, countless black lightning bolts struck it, causing it to fall.

The Azure Dragon Palace crashed on the ground and trembled, but it did not crumble.

"Big Brother Dragon, are you alright?!"

Inside the Azure Dragon Palace, the old Dragon Horse's entire body was charred, covered in wounds. It lay weakly on the floor for some time before slowly replying, "I'm fine. Do not ever go out. The Heavenly Dao is only isolated to a certain degree. If people of our level go out, we will die a miserable death and even bring the disaster back to the Azure Dragon Palace."

"What should we do now? The young master is unconscious and severely injured," Hong Xue asked anxiously while carrying Xiao Chen.

"Bring him to the blood pool for treatment. This is a tribulation of the Kunlun Realm. He needs to rely on himself. We have already done all we can do to help."

After saying that, the old Dragon Horse stood up and, together with the rest, brought Xiao Chen to the medicinal pool made with the hundred types of ancient ferocious beasts' essence blood, then placed him in the pool.

"I already took a look at the method of refining that Demonic God. It is a secret technique of the Black Lotus Church from the outer realm. The Dark Church is following the orders of the Black Lotus Church," the old Dragon Horse said with a grave expression as it looked at Xiao Chen, who was in the spiritual medicinal pool.

Hong Xue's expression changed slightly. "I recall that the Black Lotus Church is an evil religious group that separated from the Buddhist sect during the previous epoch. They are very strong, but their accumulations are not deep. How could such a small religious sect like them have such vast resources to try to invade and occupy an abandoned land?"

"Let's not care about that for now. We should wait until Xiao Chen wakes up."

Four hours later, Xiao Chen woke up in the medicinal pool.

By relying on the strong and surging Medicinal Energy of the ancient ferocious beasts' blood, Xiao Chen's injuries had more or less recovered and no longer posed a major problem.

"Senior, please save the Kunlun Realm," Xiao Chen immediately said when he opened his eyes, rejoicing at the sight of the old Dragon Horse and the others.

"You are all experts whom I find unfathomable. You must have a way to save the Kunlun Realm, right?" Xiao Chen said urgently.

Hong Xue, the azure-clad man, and the others all shook their heads. They only sighed silently without replying.

"Xiao Chen, if we could save the Kunlun Realm, we would have already made a move during the Azure Emperor's time ten thousand years ago. I once told you that it is very difficult to leave the abandoned land, but it is even harder to come in. After coming in, one faces many restrictions. This is also why the faction behind the Dark Church can use only the original residents of the Kunlun Realm to develop a faction.

"Do you understand what I mean? Simply put, if a person from the outer realm came in, even if he were only as strong as you, the Heavenly Dao would emphatically reject him. However, you are different, as you grew up in the Kunlun Realm and are much more adjusted to it.

"As for people like us, people who are much stronger than you, we cannot go out at all."

The old Dragon Horse sighed and told Xiao Chen, "I already took a huge risk in rescuing you. It is not that I cannot; it is that I may not."

This answer was well within Xiao Chen's expectations. If the old Dragon Horse could help, it would have come out long ago.

"The only way to save the Kunlun Realm now lies in you." The old Dragon Horse's expression suddenly turned serious as it looked at Xiao Chen.

These words rekindled a spark of hope in Xiao Chen's heart. He asked longingly, "What is the method? Please tell me."

"The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's inheritance. Although you cannot succeed the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's inheritance at the moment, as long as you manage to stir him up, startling the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's remnant soul awake, and get some pointers from him, defeating the Demonic God will not be a problem," the old Dragon Horse replied seriously.

The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's inheritance! Xiao Chen thought, Why did I not think of this?!

However, the scarlet seal above the Veritable Essence Energy lake was extremely tough and apparently immovable. It was not that Xiao Chen had not tried before. That seal was simply too strong; he was far from being able to move it with his current strength.

That's it, the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation!

As long as the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation breaks through to the tenth layer, the horrifying energy that comes with the tribulation should be able to move the scarlet dragon seal somewhat.

After reaching the seventh layer, there would be a life-or-death test with every breakthrough of each succeeding layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, the Lightning Tribulation increasing multifold. If Xiao Chen was not careful, he would die.

Saying that this was a slim chance of survival was no exaggeration. However, the impact of the Lightning Tribulation was also beyond Xiao Chen's capabilities. It definitely could move the scarlet dragon seal!

Originally, Xiao Chen had been planning to wait until he left the abandoned land and grew a little stronger first before making his breakthrough.

Now, he could not care so much anymore. He needed to risk his life.

With this thought, Xiao Chen immediately flew out of the medicinal pool and headed out of the Azure Dragon Palace. The old Dragon Horse and the others asked quickly, "What are you doing? Don't be rash!"

"Don't worry about me. I have to find a place to make a breakthrough in peace. This is the only way I can stir up the dragon seal."

Not wanting this group of seniors to worry, Xiao Chen showed a determined expression as he rushed out of the Azure Dragon Palace without saying anything more.
