Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1561 (Raw 1543): The Fated Battle

"Who?"

"Chu Chaoyun." Xiao Chen revealed that person's name indifferently. However, the Primes were all confused, not having any impression of it.

The Kunlun Realm's people were completely unfamiliar with Chu Chaoyun's name.

In the Demonic World, Chu Chaoyun had hidden behind the shadow of the Demonic God. The Kunlun Realm knew only of the Demonic God and not Chu Chaoyun. In the Sky Dome Realm, with Xiao Chen's fame, who could care about a person whom Xiao Chen defeated?

This was how Chu Chaoyun always was. Even after causing a huge commotion, he remained hidden behind the scene; hence, no one could figure him out or saw through his plans.

Sometimes, Xiao Chen could not understand. However, after he thought about it, this was the only way.

Only in such a way could Chu Chaoyun not care about the world and become ruthless enough to destroy the world to fulfill his desires.

Chu Chaoyun always showed a carefree smile but concealed a heart that was colder and more emotionless than anyone else's.

"Brother Xiao Chen, tell us what we should do," the Heaven Punishing Corpse God said as he looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen replied calmly, "Ten thousand years ago, the Azure Emperor killed the last Tianwu Emperor. As Chu Chaoyun is the descendant of the Tianwu Emperor, there is a fated battle between us. At that time, we will be fighting to the death. If I lose, you will have to figure it out yourselves."

"That's not right. Since this person is so strong, we should all attack together."

"Right, there is no need for righteousness with such a person. To think that he wants to sacrifice the entire Kunlun Realm to fulfill his desires alone! There is no need to reason with such a person." The Heaven Punishing Corpse God and the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign opted for the most direct and most effective method.

Xiao Chen revealed a bitter smile. If Chu Chaoyun were that simple, how could he have reached his current position?

"Are there some hidden matters behind this?" Ying Zongtian asked.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "My family is in his hands."

"Ah!" The few Primes were greatly startled. To think that this Chu Chaoyun had a handle on Xiao Chen!

Xiao Chen continued, "That's not the main point. Even if I am defeated, he will not do anything to my family. He always accomplishes what he wants to do. Between us, there is a tacit understanding. There are some things that do not need to be said between us.

"When we were fighting the Demonic God, he did not do anything to interfere. That was him being reasonable. Do not doubt it; he definitely has the strength to turn the situation around.

"If we unreasonably surround and attack him, he won't be this reasonable anymore. If such an enemy gives up his bottom line, the price we will pay will be much heavier than you can imagine."

The Primes exchanged glances, their expressions turning somewhat serious.

They simply did not dare to believe that there could be such a strong person in the world whom they did not know anything about.

However, Xiao Chen would not lie, especially about something like this.

Finally, everyone said helplessly, "We'll listen to you, then."

----

Three days later, the entire Kunlun Continent suddenly shook for no apparent reason.

The mountains shattered, the seas surged, and the rivers flowed in reverse.

Night and day could not be made out. Stars flickered in the sky; starlight could be seen at every moment, laid all over the sky in dense packs.

Such a strange sight naturally startled everyone in the Kunlun Realm.

The peak characters of the Kunlun Realm on Kunlun Mountain had already noticed this long ago.

A figure walked in the boundless Starry Heavens. As he stood on the Sky Dome Immortal Lord's old residence, the other two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine Immortal Lord's residences were in the vicinity.

The three thousand lower realms continuously merged under this figure's feet, and everything slowly moved closer to the Kunlun Realm.

It was like a clump of divine flame lighting up the entire Starry Heavens. Every star gave off a bright light for him.

The intense lights made the entire Kunlun Realm appear to be in perpetual daylight. As a result of the strange sight of the many stars flickering, day and night were indistinguishable.

Today, the three thousand Immortal Lords' residences finally merged into one, which affected the entire Kunlun Realm.

Mountains shattered, seas surged, and rivers flowed in reverse. All sorts of strange matters arose because of him.

"Everyone, it is time."

Xiao Chen stood up and looked at the Starry Heavens. It seemed like he locked gazes with that person despite a separation of millions of kilometers.

"Azure Dragon King, we'll send you off!" The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign and the others stood up and offered as they looked at Xiao Chen.

This group of people flew quickly in the Starry Heavens. Soon, the group saw Chu Chaoyun in the depths of the Starry Heavens, standing on what appeared to be a radiant sea.

"Up to here will do," Xiao Chen said before his figure flashed. Occasionally, shattered pieces of stars crashed towards him, but he easily dodged them.

Sometime later, while dressed in his white robes and standing on his Cycle Throne, he finally saw Chu Chaoyun's face clearly.

Chu Chaoyun looked like before, carrying a sword on his back with bright lights flickering in his eyes. It seemed that he had been waiting here for Xiao Chen for a long time already.

The two did not say anything. They only looked at each other quietly in the depths of the Starry Heavens.

Many years ago, after the Five Nation Youth Competition, Xiao Chen had already felt that he would have a final battle with this person.

Unexpectedly, this day arrived in such a manner, having the entire Starry Heavens as the battlefield.

The price of losing would be the entire Kunlun Realm.

Xiao Chen spoke first. "How is Leng Yue?"

"Quite well. I've already helped her kill all the other Demon Monarchs. She now reigns supreme over the entire Demonic World. For many Demons, it is not that they are born without a conscience. It was just that there was the Demonic God, and they were forced to be like that. In the future, there should be a brand-new Demonic World. This is something that I promised her back then. There is no need to thank me for it."

Chu Chaoyun's expression remained calm. As he spoke, he did not show a shred of emotion.

Xiao Chen looked at Chu Chaoyun. With his current cultivation, he could make out something from Chu Chaoyun.

In Chu Chaoyun's body, there were two extremely berserk energies repulsing each other. However, a strong will forced them together.

That was the energy of light and darkness.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. It looked like no one in this world had it easy. Previously, he could not figure Chu Chaoyun out; he could not understand how Chu Chaoyun improved so fast. Now that he could see it, he understood the price that Chu Chaoyun paid.

"What is the point of this bitter battle? You are currently not in a good state. The best method to resolve that is to leave the Kunlun Realm quickly and break through to the Veritable Essence Stage. Otherwise, if you delay further, your physical body will become a problem for life."

Xiao Chen saw the crux of the problem and addressed Chu Chaoyun's current situation.

The body of a Martial Emperor could not endure the conflict between energies like light and darkness. It was not just painful. More importantly, it would leave hidden injuries behind.

Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and said, "You don't understand the hatred in my heart. I've never thought of killing that person. I only want to ask that person something. However, if I do not absorb all of the Kunlun Realm's Luck, I will not even be qualified to stand before him!"

Suddenly, golden light erupted from the center of the bright sea below Chu Chaoyun's feet. It looked like something was bursting out.

Below was the Sky Dome Realm of the three thousand lower realms. Xiao Chen guessed that something was coming out.

"Whoosh!"

A beam of golden light burst out in front of Chu Chaoyun.

That was an exquisite palm-sized sword shining with a resplendent golden light that made one feel a piercing prickle on their skin.

It gave the impression that all it needed to do was move gently and it could destroy the entire world.

A divine object. This was the divine object that the first Tianwu Emperor left behind. As long as one possessed it, one would not need to walk the Kunlun Road to leave the abandoned land.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign and the other Primes were watching from afar when, suddenly, they felt piercing pain in their eyes.

The light of this small sword injured the eyes of all of them. However, their expressions were filled with shock and excitement.

"The legend is true!" the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign exclaimed. Clearly, he knew some of the legends about the Tianwu Emperor.

The few were extremely surprised. Worry flashed in Ying Zongtian's eyes. "Xiao Chen really has met his match. This person has the aura of primal chaos, which points to an apex Great Dao!"

With the appearance of the divine object that the Tianwu Emperor left behind, this group of Primes felt that this matter was tricky and extraordinary.

Originally, everyone was confident in Xiao Chen. However, now, their belief wavered.

"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?!"

"Clang!" Chu Chaoyun extended his hand, drawing his sword and pointing its tip at Xiao Chen.

The powerful divine object floated quietly between the two, its golden light looking very tempting.

This scene was exactly the same as what Xiao Chen once saw.

In the end, there was no escaping fate.

Xiao Chen held his Lunar Shadow Saber and looked at it. Then, he said softly, "Little Ao Jiao, this might really be the last battle you have with me. Are you afraid?"

"What is there to be afraid of? I am an Item Spirit in the first place. In nicer terms, I am a spirit. A more unpleasant term would be a slave. Previously, I was able to meet a nice person like Sang Mu. Now, I got to meet an idiot like you. An Item Spirit could not ask for anything more."

Inside the Lunar Shadow Saber, Ao Jiao calmly turned into a beam of light and merged with the Lunar Shadow Saber.

A resonant clangor rang out as Xiao Chen drew his saber, welcoming the incoming sword intent.
