Chapter 1461
Chapter 1461 (Raw 1441):
Too much is as bad as too little. These words were applicable, no matter where one was.
For example, the beautiful rain of flowers lit with fire. They danced around in the air, presenting the two extremes of Yin and Yang. It would be hard to find a scene in this world that could surpass this.
However, it was too beautiful, not something good. When these ten thousand flowers and flames exploded together, it would be like the scythe of the grim reaper—and much more horrifying than the strongest ferocious beast.
Xiao Chen did not have the time to admire such a beautiful scene. He did not even think about the consequences of the flowers falling. He had something much more important to do.
He needed to kill!
Xiao Chen had repeatedly given the two Immortal Venerates chances to let him leave, but they did not. From the moment Immortal Venerate Tian Yi acted overbearingly, threatening to perish together with him to force him to submit, a murderous intent already sprouted in Xiao Chen's heart.
Now, Xiao Chen could no longer stop it, nor was he willing to.
Instead, he let this murderous intent spread in his heart and to every cell of his body without any restraint.
Men needed to be ruthless. When a murderous intent arose, they could not be indecisive.
Hence, when Immortal Venerate Tian Yi begged for mercy, Xiao Chen mercilessly rejected him.
Who knew if the Immortal Venerate had other tricks up his sleeves and would try scheming against Xiao Chen?
"Kill!"
Inside the Taiji Saber Domain, the Yin and Yang dragons materialized by the boundless saber intent roared ferociously. Amid strong winds, they swallowed up Immortal Venerate Tian Yi and Immortal Venerate Ming Yue.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Two tornadoes formed. A tremendous clangor came from the tornadoes. Each True Dragon was made up of five hundred bladesmen. Using the Taiji Saber Domain, they converged. When they erupted, they continuously attacked their target.
Even Xiao Chen would find the combined strength of five hundred people hard to deal with, what more the two Immortal Venerates.
After a while, spots of light appeared in the tornadoes—the light given off when a protective Magic Treasure shattered.
A cold light flashed in the depths of Xiao Chen's eyes, disappearing very quickly.
On the throne, Xiao Chen was like bowstring drawn taut. Then, he shot forward like a phantom, holding the Seven Deadly Sins' Envy and brandishing it.
"Flawless Saber Technique's fourth move, Heartbreaking Stance!"
This move shattered one's heart first before shattering the enemies. When this saber light chopped out, Xiao Chen's heart shattered. Pain spread throughout his body. Because of the pain, he could carve it on his bones and heart; because of this pain, he could let out all the anger in his heart.
Of the various moves of the Flawless Saber Technique, the Heartbreaking Stance was the one with the strongest negative emotions, the most radical one.
Back then, Xiao Chen had hesitated over whether to create this move. Pain had no boundaries; it was endless and limitless. The depths of hatred and envy were not even close.
Once one fell into it, one might not be able to pull themselves out of it. The might of this Saber Technique might be beyond their control.
At that time, it would not be the human controlling the saber but the saber controlling the human, turning into a Demonic Dao.
However, there was no perfect human and no perfect item. Likewise, it was impossible to find a perfect Saber Technique. After considering for a long time, Xiao Chen still created this move in the end, purposely turning it into the weakness of the Flawless Saber Technique.
There was no perfect and flawless saber Dao; there was no perfect and flawless human. There was only a heart that sought perfection. This was the essence of the Flawless Saber Technique.
The tornadoes vanished, and the two Immortal Venerates retreated as they vomited blood. They quickly formed hand seals in a fluster.
It was too late. Xiao Chen had been storing up power for a long time already, waiting for this moment.
The instant Xiao Chen sent out the tornadoes, blood leaked out of the corners of his lips. A sinister greenish light shone from his entire body, lending him a very horrifying and evil air. This startled the two into trembling and losing all courage.
Immortal Venerate Tian Yi felt extremely regretful. To think he actually threatened such a ruthless person!
The thousands of falling flowers did not affect Xiao Chen's mental state. Instead, they hardened his resolve to kill the two.
If Immortal Venerate Tian Yi had known this would happen, he absolutely would not have made such a ruthless threat.
"Pu ci!"
Scarlet light flashed. The two's physical bodies cracked and shattered on contact with the saber, turning into dust and falling to the blood lake.
Two human-shaped lights shot out and entered their life Magic Treasures, looking like a laser show, moving very fast.
Shadowless Saber Sovereign, just you wait. Today's grudge of destroying our physical bodies will be repaid in blood in the future.
You have no idea who you offended. You cannot afford to offend the major characters behind the Penglai Sea!
The resentful words of Immortal Venerate Tian Yi and Immortal Venerate Ming Yue appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
Xiao Chen looked at the two stray-dog-like Yuanyings and could not be bothered with them. Then, Envy returned to the back of the throne.
Two lights flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes before quickly spinning around.
Then, he pointed gently with the index finger of his right hand. As the light flashed in his eyes, a small Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram shot out of his fingertip and continuously enlarged.
Eventually, this Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram covered the entire lake, blocking all the ten thousand flowers.
Instantly, half of Xiao Chen's Primordial Energy was depleted. Seen from above, the ten thousand flower petals would reach the lake in another half meter.
Worth it!
Intense fatigue assaulted Xiao Chen's mind as he directly lay back. The Cycle Throne sensed it and flew over, catching him.
Xiao Chen lay on the throne, his eyes barely open as he wiped away the blood at the corners of his lips.
To chase away the two Immortal Venerates, Xiao Chen had drained his mind and gotten covered with wounds. He had not only exhausted all his Magic Energy but even severely overdrawn it, which aggravated his injuries.
Fortunately, he succeeded in routing the two Immortal Venerates and protected the coffin.
If one looked carefully, one would actually discover that despite Xiao Chen's weak exterior, there was a powerful light hidden in his right eye. He had already silently circulated his strongest trump card—the Divine Lightning Eye.
Right now was far from the time when Xiao Chen could truly rest. His weakness was a guise that he deliberately put on.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady was someone that Little Three reminded Xiao Chen to be careful of, so he never let down his guard.
The extremely beautiful and boundlessly strange Heavenly Profound Holy Lady appeared silently in front of him.
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady glanced indifferently at Xiao Chen, her gaze lingering on his right eye for a moment.
"What was the last saber strike called?" the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady asked.
"Heartbreaking."
"Good name. Many years ago, I also had a similar sword strike known as Heartbreaking. Unexpectedly, after a million years, I get to see a saber strike that leads to the same result with a different approach. It looks like you and I are fated."
Xiao Chen was not shocked. The other party was a powerful genius who had cultivated Martial Cultivation to the peak before scattering her cultivation and forcefully cultivating Immortal Cultivation.
"Wrong, you and I are not fated. On the contrary, our Dao are different. I do it on purpose, but you do it very naturally. If my guess is not wrong, your Heartbreaking results in the loss of your entire heart at the very end."
Xiao Chen continued unhurriedly, "A pain so extreme that you no longer have a heart to feel pain, hence, this sword strike is heartless. I really want to see for myself how strong such a move is."
"How did you guess?"
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's eyes changed, but her expression remained the same. She still looked startlingly beautiful and pure, untouched by the material world.
Xiao Chen silently dismissed the light in his right eye. Now, he could be sure that the other party did not intend to attack him.
The earlier moment was when Xiao Chen was at his weakest, but the other party did not attack him. Now that he had a breather, he would not be as easy to deal with.
When facing the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady's question, Xiao Chen answered honestly, "From the first moment I saw you, I found it strange. You are clearly extremely beautiful, but for some reason, you induce fear in others, preventing them from getting close.
"Earlier, when you mentioned your Heartbreaking sword strike, I came to a sudden realization. You have no expression, no smile, no tears, no pain, no frustration. This is because you are a heartless person."
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady remained silent for a long time. It looked like Xiao Chen guessed right.
However, even after her greatest secret was discovered, this woman's expression still did not change. It was truly bone-chilling.
Was a heartless person still human? Clearly not. She was neither human nor ghost. That was the answer to Xiao Chen's previous question.
An Immortal of ghosts. The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady did indeed become a Ghost Immortal, a genuine Ghost Immortal.
Xiao Chen guessed a possibility for why this woman could not attack anyone. The woman before him might just be some lingering thoughts of the Heavenly Profound Holy Lady. The true Heavenly Profound Holy Lady had left the Kunlun Realm after she became a Ghost Immortal.
He extended his hand, and the coffin landed beside the other party. He said, "I already did as agreed, helping you to protect this coffin. Now, it's your turn to fulfill your promise."
The Heavenly Profound Holy Lady glanced at the coffin and then raised her head. "There's no rush. Promise me one final thing, and I will satisfy everything you want."
