Chapter 1459
Chapter 1459 (Raw 1439):
Xiao Chen violently kicked away the coffin containing the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's corpse, instantly interrupting the actions of the two Immortal Venerates.
The Immortal Sealing Talismans, which were half removed, were pasted back. After the Immortal Venerates put in so much effort for so long, all their efforts were wasted.
The two Immortal Venerates were somewhat stunned. During this moment of distraction, Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he flew forward. Then he stopped the spinning coffin with one hand before looking warily at the two Immortal Venerates.
The two old men—Immortal Venerate Tian Yi and Immortal Venerate Ming Yue—both wore ancient Daoist robes and had a sagely atmosphere.
After a moment of blankness, the two old men quickly reacted, locking down on Xiao Chen with their auras.
"I've heard of you before, Shadowless Saber Sovereign!" Immortal Venerate Tian Yi suddenly said, neither happy nor sorrowful. He merely gave Xiao Chen a severe look. An invisible sharpness pierced over mercilessly like a saber wind.
The scarlet lake water rippled. As Xiao Chen looked at the rippling lake water below and carried the coffin on his shoulder, he said, "Oh! I did not expect the people of the Penglai Sea to have heard of my title before. What an honor. I have admired the Penglai Sea for a long time already but was not able to enter it."
Immortal Venerate Ming Yue smiled faintly. The lake water below rippled faintly as he moved back stealthily.
The smile on Immortal Venerate Ming Yue's face widened as he said, "Is that so? If you have the opportunity, you should go over to the Penglai Sea as our guest. The three Immortal Venerates will definitely personally receive you."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly as he smiled. "In that case, I thank you for your invitation. Looks like I do not have to worry about coming uninvited in the future anymore. However, do the Immortal Venerates of the Penglai Sea have the habit of moving backward while speaking?"
As Xiao Chen spoke, he unhurriedly took a step forward while carrying the coffin.
The clash had already started, happening invisibly. In a fight with Immortal Cultivators, one should never let the other party put a suitable distance between them.
Otherwise, there might not even be a chance for regrets.
With their plot discovered, the two Immortal Venerates' faces sank at the same time, and they stopped moving back.
Immortal Venerate Tian Yi said sullenly, "I do not know what your motive is in snatching the coffin. I ask that you hand it over now; otherwise, you will die a miserable death."
"Unfortunately, you will not be able to stop me from leaving!"
Xiao Chen, who had been secretly preparing, suddenly pushed off the ground and instantly executed the Fish Dragon Art. He turned into fish moving like a dragon. As he shot forward, it looked like he would be able to leave the lake soon.
"Reckless!"
Immortal Venerate Tian Yi snorted coldly, and a strong aura erupted from his body. He stretched out his hand, and a huge, realistic, scarlet hand materialized above the lake surface.
The huge scarlet hand clenched, and Xiao Chen, who had already moved away, felt a suction force.
Before Xiao Chen could react, his body was firmly captured, boundless pressure squeezing his body from all directions.
"Crack! Crack!" Some cracks appeared on Xiao Chen's bones, accompanied by extremely intense pain.
"He is only lightly injured!"
When Immortal Venerate Ming Yue saw that Xiao Chen's body did not appear to suffer any damage, he was greatly startled.
The Gigantic Spirit Hand was one of Immortal Venerate Tian Yi's signature Major Magic Skills. Even a Ninth Heaven Golden Emperor Body would shatter in the grip of this Gigantic Spirit Hand. This Magic Skill could severely damage a Heart of an Emperor and shatter it on the spot.
What was an Immortal Venerate? An Immortal Venerate was an Immortal Cultivator who had cultivated to the limits of the Immortal Dao in the Martial Epoch. No one short of a Prime would be able to suppress them.
"Quickly, attack! This fellow's physical body is even stronger than that of a Martial Emperor of the physical body. I don't think I can suppress him for much longer," Immortal Venerate Tian Yi shouted with a grave expression.
There was no time to delay. Immortal Venerate Ming Yue attacked quickly. A little bell appeared in his hand, and he gently shook it. A loud sound rang out beside Xiao Chen's ears.
The Vital Qi that Xiao Chen just gathered washed away like a mountain flood. All his internal organs ruptured.
"Pu ci!"
Xiao Chen tasted something sweet, as he could not help vomiting a mouthful of blood.
The saber in Xiao Chen's hand and the coffin on his shoulder both fell into the lake.
Immortal Venerate Ming Yue rejoiced. Then, he immediately shook the little bell in his hand. The sound waves rang out nonstop, surging towards Xiao Chen like they were toppling mountains and flipping seas.
At that same time, Immortal Venerate Ming Yue extended his left hand and sucked the coffin from a distance, pulling it over to himself.
"Damn it!"
Since the Shadowless Saber Sovereign made his debut, this was the first time Xiao Chen suffered like that. He had indeed underestimated these Immortal Venerates.
However, since there was no saber in Xiao Chen's hand and he did not have to care about the coffin, there was nothing else for him to worry about.
Xiao Chen roared ferociously, and the Vital Qi in his body ran rampant. The roar he let out was thunderous, a result of one thousand Dragon Force erupting in an instant. "Bang!" The huge scarlet hand shattered.
Dragon Tone Art!
After struggling free of his restraints, Xiao Chen quickly executed the Dragon Tone Art that he had not used in a long time.
A huge True Dragon materialized in midair, the dragon's body coiled around Xiao Chen's body, its head right above his head.
When Xiao Chen opened his mouth and roared, the True Dragon roared as well. The sound waves were like a volcano erupting. "Boom!" They knocked back Immortal Venerate Ming Yue's sound waves.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Due to the agitation of the sound waves, pillars of water shot up from the lake. The thousands of flowers being held in the air by the ancient lamp trembled slightly.
"Whoosh!" The little bell was knocked out of Immortal Venerate Ming Yue's hand.
The lake water surged with waves and rain. Immortal Venerate Tian Yi flung out his sleeves and shattered the approaching waves.
Then, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi stepped forward and grabbed a corner of the coffin, which was flying over. However, he discovered that Xiao Chen caught another corner at the same time.
Immortal Venerate Tian Yi raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen.
Sword!
The instant their gazes crossed, Xiao Chen felt a chill in his entire body. A dangerous aura surged over. That was a sword, a sword in the eye.
A peak Major Magic Skill, Sword in Eye!
Xiao Chen did not have much time to think. He reached out, and Gluttony, which had fallen into the lake, flew into his hand. Then, he used the saber to block his eyes.
"Dang!" Xiao Chen nearly lost his grip on the saber. He also went flying back one hundred meters as he vomited another mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, as Xiao Chen moved back, his grasp on the coffin remained firm. Immortal Venerate Tian Yi's physical strength was not as strong as his; hence, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi lost hold of the coffin.
"You think you can flee? Ancient Moon!"
When Immortal Venerate Ming Yue, whose Magic Treasure had been knocked away, saw that Xiao Chen was trying to leave, he held his hands up.
A scarlet moon rose in front of Xiao Chen from the bottom of the lake. The strong aura of the scarlet moon made him feel like he was as insignificant as an ant.
This Magic Skill used the state of space. The feeling of insignificance was not fake but very real. The scarlet moon rising in front of Xiao Chen was like a tall mountain rising before him.
The Magic Skill used the ancient moon to shatter the other party's fighting spirit and aura.
Before this scarlet moon, regular cultivators would immediately be defeated by that feeling of insignificance, trapped in extreme helplessness and losing all fighting spirit.
"Good timing! Shatter!"
However, Xiao Chen laughed loudly. He swapped out Gluttony for Greed and executed the Flawless Saber Technique's third move, the Falling Moon Stance.
A saber light flickered as a figure soared up, and the moon fell.
Just as the bright moon was about to leave the surface of the lake, Xiao Chen hacked it in half, causing it to fall back into the lake.
Immortal Venerate Ming Yue paled as he exclaimed, "How can this be?! My Magic Skill…"
Nothing was impossible. After hacking apart this moon, Xiao Chen neared the shore of the blood lake.
The two Immortal Venerates were very difficult to deal with. Fighting them was like throwing a heavy punch at cotton; there was no way to truly injure them. On the other hand, he was reduced to a sorry state.
"This old man did not agree to let you go. Mountains and rivers as a painting, Golden Spears and Iron Horses!"
[TL Note: Golden Spears and Iron Horses is an idiom for a powerful army, but that does not sound good for the name of a move.]
Immortal Venerate Tian Yi seemed to be truly angered. His sleeves flapped loudly as a brush appeared in his hand. Then, he bit the tip of this tongue, spat out blood, and soaked the tip of the brush in the blood.
Using blood as ink, drawing while splashing ink!
Instantly, Xiao Chen found himself on an ancient battlefield. Loud battle drums were pounding away, booming with moving and tragic sounds.
Clouds of dust filled the air, obscuring the senses. Xiao Chen, who was carrying the coffin, was temporarily dazzled on this desolate battlefield.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
Amid the boundless clouds of dust, sounds of shouting and killing rang out everywhere. A huge army charged towards Xiao Chen from all directions.
When Xiao Chen saw such a grand formation of soldiers, he could not help smiling bitterly. An Immortal Venerate was indeed not that easy to deal with.
However, Xiao Chen possessed a temper too. If they would not let him leave, then he would not leave!
"Dong!" The coffin landed heavily on the ground. The Cycle Throne appeared, and Xiao Chen sat on it, radiating the Emperor Might of a king.
The seven Divine Weapons all unsheathed. The dust on the ground gathered and took human form, stretching out their hands and grasping the Divine Weapons.
Xiao Chen continuously rapped his fingers on the throne's armrest. Many sabers buzzed as they turned into boundless saber light and shot out.
Following that, even more figures formed on the ground, leaped into the air, and grasped the saber lights flying over.
Back in reality, Immortal Venerate Tian Yi and Immortal Venerate Ming Yue released their bated breath as they looked at the painting in front of them.
Immortal Venerate Ming Yue smiled and said, "Mountains and rivers as a painting, Golden Spears and Iron Horses. Once this painting is formed, no matter who it is, they will be killed mercilessly. Their minds will tire and drain before they die in the desert!"
"Pu ci!"
Right after Immortal Venerate Ming Yue spoke, the long painting tore in the middle. Amid loud shouts and flourishing auras, a thousand people bearing sabers charged out from the painting together with Xiao Chen, who was seated on the throne.
This startled the two Immortal Venerates into going pale. In their fluster, they used their trump cards to retreat quickly.
