Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1563 (Raw 1545): Change in Situation

In the Starry Heavens, the huge battle between Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun continued to intensify.

The Taiji Saber Domain and the black-and-white Sword Domain layered over each other. Countless sabers and swords made from light soared up in the overlapped Domains.

The two fought fiercely, exchanging more than a thousand moves, neither managing to gain a clear advantage.

The two kept trading blows, sending attacks back and forth. The advantages of the Saber Dao and the Sword Dao were brought out to their limits.

Both sides had reached the very peak of the Saber Dao and Sword Dao in the Kunlun Realm.

They were both stuck at the same bottleneck; this was the limitation of the Kunlun Realm, incomparable with the outer realm.

If the two went to the outer realm, with their vast accumulations, they would immediately be able to break through the bottleneck that they faced.

However, right now, it was clear that these two could not take that final step.

With just their skills in the saber and the sword, it was hard to figure out a victor.

Light and darkness, merge!

Yin and Yang, become one!

Chu Chaoyun roared, and two kinds of extreme energies merged in the black-and-white Sword Domain. Suddenly, his body erupted with interchanging black and white lights.

This looked extremely strange. A sword light flashed, firing at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen did not want to appear weak. The two saber dragons—one overt and one covert—in the Taiji Saber Domain under his feet quickly united.

Then, they infused into the saber and blocked the sword light that was the merged black-and-white Sword Domain.

"Boom!"

The two killing moves met and exploded like supernovas, forming horrifying shockwaves surging out.

Xiao Chen moved back quickly but still got struck by the shock waves. He vomited a mouthful of blood before landing on tiptoe on a meteor and standing firmly.

However, Chu Chaoyun was more severely injured than Xiao Chen. His long hair was in disarray, and saber wounds riddled his body.

Occasionally, a black aura poured out, mending these saber wounds. However, their healing rate was still slightly slower than that of Xiao Chen's Azure Dragon War Body.

Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at the other party. Then, he said indifferently, "It looks like your physical body is holding you back."

"Holding me back?"

A strange light flashed in Chu Chaoyun's eyes. He neither denied nor acknowledged Xiao Chen's comment.

"Perhaps. However, that will not stop me from defeating you!"

"Everlasting Sword Dao, Sword Covering the Sky!"

Chu Chaoyun himself also walked a path that was different from everyone else's. It was extremely pure, quite unlike Xiao Chen's Flawless saber Dao.

The so-called "everlasting" was boundless and limitless.

The Sword Dao that belonged to Chu Chaoyun was boundless and limitless. The Sword Dao was its core, and he created the Everlasting Sword Technique.

Sword Covering the Sky was the first move of this Everlasting Sword Technique.

A sword light flashed. Chu Chaoyun arrived holding the sword. When the sword swung out, it looked down the nine heavens, freezing and fixing down space.

Instantly, Xiao Chen felt the surrounding space locked down by the might of the sword.

It formed an invisible prison, trapping Xiao Chen and preventing him from moving.

"Break! Flawless Saber Technique, Void Breaking Stance!"

Xiao Chen executed the first move of the Flawless Saber Technique, turning from passive to active, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared again, his entire body released resplendent saber light, breaking through space.

"Everlasting Sword Dao, a Thousand Twists and a Hundred Turns!"

Chu Chaoyun quickly changed moves, and his figure turned vague.

The sword light appeared formless and ethereal. Xiao Chen could not lock down on the other party with his Spiritual Sense, what more the other party's move. When viewed, the other party's body seemed to move about a twisting alley, crisscrossing. This created a kind of spatial confusion.

"Everlasting Sword Dao, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"

Chu Chaoyun waited for Xiao Chen's momentum to pass and the move to finish before charging over with the sword.

Amid all the twists and turns, countless figures layered over each other and turned into a sharp sword, piercing towards Xiao Chen.

This sword strike was too fast, too ruthless, and too accurate. Xiao Chen did not have any time to change moves. He could only hold the saber across himself to block this sword strike.

"Dang!"

Amid the intense clangor, Xiao Chen nearly lost grip of his saber as he quickly retreated.

"No matter how strong your physical body is, if it keeps receiving attacks, you will only lose!"

Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly. Having caught Xiao Chen's mistake, he charged over carrying his sword.

The might of the sword could conquer every obstacle. Starlight-like sword lights rained down like a storm on Xiao Chen.

"Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang!"

They were like raindrops falling on the ground, producing endlessly melodious sounds.

With just one mistake, Xiao Chen was pushed back again and again. Countless stars streaked past the two.

However, it was not the stars moving. It was just that the two were too fast, making it seem to them that the stars were moving, flashing past quickly.

Chu Chaoyun's sword moves became increasingly ruthless. This was his only opportunity.

He could not give Xiao Chen a chance to turn things around. Otherwise, he would lose all momentum, and his sword would lose its sharpness as well.

Xiao Chen remained calm, not panicking at all. He now had many means that he could use to counter the other party.

However, for some reason, he did not really want to do that.

If it were purely with just the saber and sword, the two should be about equal. Their accomplishments were very similar. It would merely be a matter of who made a mistake first.

However, if other things were considered, Xiao Chen held too much of an advantage over Chu Chaoyun.

Be it the Ice Blood Lightning Dragon, the Dragon Blood Soul Breaking Finger, the Dharmic World, or the Divine Lightning Eye, they all could help Xiao Chen instantly turn the situation around.

After fighting to this point, Xiao Chen had already completely figured out Chu Chaoyun's baseline.

Chu Chaoyun's cultivation was at peak Prime. However, he also cultivated the Cultivation Technique of the Demon Races, hence his capability to fight Xiao Chen.

Chu Chaoyun's skill with the sword was similar to Xiao Chen's skill with the saber. It was hard to say who was better.

Chu Chaoyun's trump card was the state of primal chaos. That state was even stronger than the state of cycle. Before the primal chaos broke, there was no day and night, there was no time or space, and even more so, there was no cycle.

However, at the very start, Xiao Chen had discovered that Chu Chaoyun's fusion of light and darkness was not perfect.

In reality, Chu Chaoyun's will of light and will of darkness still needed more work.

Primal chaos was not as simple as the merger of light and darkness.

Chu Chaoyun forcibly merged them purely by willpower. Perhaps such willpower was his greatest trump card. It was something that could lead him further, to fly even higher. Of course, this was provided that he could leave the Kunlun Realm.

However, at this moment, Chu Chaoyun forcibly raised himself to a higher level. Compared to Xiao Chen, who fought firmly and steadily, following the necessary steps, he was like a tall building with an unstable foundation.

He clearly knows his own situation. Why does he want to fight with me?

As Xiao Chen pursued this line of thought, he got slightly distracted. As a result, Chu Chaoyun's sword pierced Xiao Chen's chest.

"Whoosh!"

The sword flowed with black-and-white light that quickly poured into Xiao Chen's body. The flesh and bones around the wound immediately rotted; a large part of his body necrotized.

As Chu Chaoyun held the sword stabbed into Xiao Chen's chest, he said indifferently as he looked at Xiao Chen, "Azure Dragon King, you are distracted."

Xiao Chen nodded. "I am indeed distracted. It is because I figured out why you insist on fighting me."

A smile appeared on Chu Chaoyun's face. His expression remained calm as he said, "No one has ever managed to figure out my thoughts. Good. Before I kill you, let me hear it. If you guessed right, I won't push this sword down."

The tip of the sword stabbed into Xiao Chen's chest pressed against his heart. The black sword Qi surged out from the tip to circle the entirety of his heart.

As long as Chu Chaoyun wanted to, he could crush Xiao Chen's heart.

"You really want me to say it? I feel that it is better to show it with my actions."

Chu Chaoyun was slightly stunned. Before he could react, he saw three purple flowers, each with nine petals, quickly spinning in Xiao Chen's right eye.

When the flowers layered over each other, the power of Lightning Tribulations instantly descended. Chu Chaoyun was immediately blasted away, his clothes tattered, electricity flickering all over his body.

"Ice Blood Lightning Dragon!"

A berserk tricolor dragon appeared in Xiao Chen's left palm. It howled while rearing its head before ferociously charging into Chu Chaoyun, who had been struck by the Lightning Tribulations.

"Pu ci!" Chu Chaoyun vomited a mouthful of blood. His internal organs shattered as he fell weakly on a small planet.

However, it was not over yet. Xiao Chen's figure wavered slightly as he executed Dharmic World. Then, his gargantuan body stomped on the small planet.

"Rumble…!" The small planet promptly shattered. Chu Chaoyun, who was on the small planet, was a sight too miserable to behold. All the bones in his body shattered; he was no longer capable of fighting.

Chu Chaoyun lay on a relatively larger piece of the small planet, without even the energy to stand up.

Xiao Chen dismissed Dharmic World and casually pulled out the sword in his chest.

Then, his figure flashed, and he landed on the piece of rock. After that, he looked coldly at Chu Chaoyun and asked, "Is my guess right?"
