novelAbsolute Surprise
| ← Ch.1499 | Ch.1501 → |
At the crucial moment, Chu Chaoyun suddenly disappeared. How it happened was not hard to explain.
As Xiao Chen approached the palace doors, step by step, Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King had naturally focused on him. Hence, forgetting about Chu Chaoyun was inevitable.
However, this was not the important point. The important point was where Chu Chaoyun went!
Xiao Chen, who was preparing to open the palace doors, did not know the situation behind him. He had already placed his hand on the palace doors.
"Xiao Chen, don't open the door. Chu Chaoyun disappeared!"
Ying Zongtian shouted a warning, causing Xiao Chen's expression to change and his heart to sink.
"It's too late."
Suddenly, a voice resounded behind him. Using the state of primal chaos, Chu Chaoyun stood on the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation and appeared perfectly fine.
The flow of time and the changing space did not seem to affect Chu Chaoyun at all.
This was because Chu Chaoyun was like the primal chaos. No matter how time flowed or space moved, the primal chaos remained the primal chaos. Before the world was created, there was only the primal chaos; there was no time or space.
Although Chu Chaoyun only skimmed the surface of the state of primal chaos, it was sufficient for him not to fear the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation.
Chu Chaoyun threw a palm strike at Xiao Chen's shoulder. Xiao Chen was prepared to pull back his right hand, but he was caught off guard. The force from the palm strike caused Xiao Chen to push the palace doors open.
The ancient Azure Dragon Palace's doors appeared before the world once again as vast Dragon Might surged out. At this moment, the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation also lifted entirely.
However, the force of Chu Chaoyun's palm strike did not injure Xiao Chen. Instead, it was a strong push. The instant the door opened, that force thrust Xiao Chen inside.
Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at Chu Chaoyun in confusion. He could not understand why the other party helped him at this moment.
This situation also stunned Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King, confusing them.
The even more depressed ones were naturally the three giants of the Deity Dao Union, especially the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign had planned for every situation he could think of. All that remained was the instant when Xiao Chen pushed the door open, so he could kill Xiao Chen. However, the scene before his eyes suddenly had an additional person pushing Xiao Chen in.
Regardless, the sword strike that the Ghost Monarch had held in preparation for a long time had to be unleashed.
The Ghost Monarch had gathered all the Primordial Energy in his body, just waiting for the instant the door opened. If he did not strike, the attack would rebound on him. Even he would not be able to endure it.
"Whoosh!"
Nearly at the same time as Xiao Chen entered the Azure Dragon Palace, a dim light flashed, descending from the sky and piercing towards Chu Chaoyun.
The original target of the Ghost Monarch's full-power sword strike was Xiao Chen. Now, it was Chu Chaoyun who stood to receive it.
"Dang!"
Chu Chaoyun drew his sword and held it horizontally across his chest, blocking the other party's attack.
Loud clangor resounded. Clearly, Chu Chaoyun's strength was not comparable to that of the other party. Some blood leaked out a corner of his lips as he stumbled a few steps back, forced away from the palace.
After driving Chu Chaoyun back with a sword strike, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch quickly flew towards the palace doors.
"Bang!" An invisible barrier at the entry bounced the East Mountain Ghost Monarch back.
Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly. It seemed like he had anticipated this. After wiping the blood off his lips, he quickly left this place.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, who was watching from a distance, showed a sullen expression. Indeed, it was as he expected; once Xiao Chen entered the palace, no one else could enter.
The Azure Dragon Palace would only be opened to outsiders if they had managed to kill Xiao Chen the moment he pushed open the palace door, making the Azure Emperor's bloodline vanish from this world. Otherwise, everything would be useless.
"Damn it!"
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign raged in his heart. He had planned everything out. As long as Xiao Chen pushed the palace doors open and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch's sword strike forced Xiao Chen away, the Deity Race Ancestor would appear.
With this absolute suppressive force, he would finish off Xiao Chen in one blow. After the death of the Azure Emperor's descendant, the Azure Dragon Palace would be open to outsiders.
However, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's plans did not include a person pushing Xiao Chen inside at the crucial moment and taking the East Mountain Ghost Monarch's full-power sword strike.
The most surprising thing was that this person could move about as he pleased in the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation, unaffected by the flow of time in there.
"Qitian, what should we do?"
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God felt very anxious but did not have any good ideas. So he could only place his hope on the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.
"I'll gamble on it!"
A crazed look flashed in the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's eyes."I've placed all my hopes on this Azure Dragon Palace. I absolutely will not permit this unexpected event to continue."
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign swept his gaze around and fixed it on Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King. The crazed look in his eyes turned into an overwhelming murderous intent.
What is he planning?
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God's heart skipped a beat, shocked by the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's murderous intent.
"Capture the Spirit Fox King and Ying Zongtian. After Xiao Chen comes out, I want him to obediently hand over all the secrets of the Azure Dragon Palace."
"This..."
When the Heaven Punishing Corpse God heard that, he was stunned. Taking down two Primes was as difficult as ascending to heaven. While the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could defeat those two, capturing them was an entirely different proposition altogether.
While those two could not win, they could still run. Furthermore, this was the Martial God Palace's territory.
"Is that appropriate?"
"Humph! The Ghost Monarch is not as simple as you think. He absolutely will not be satisfied with this failure."
"Whoosh!"
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's figure flashed, appearing before Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King. He hovered in the air as he looked at the two with a frosty expression.
The Spirit Fox King smiled faintly and said, "Qitian, despite all your planning, you probably did not expect this to happen, right?"
However, Ying Zongtian noticed that something was wrong. The Heaven Punishing Corpse God and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch appeared silently behind the two, preventing them from leaving.
"Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, what are you planning?" Ying Zongtian asked coldly.
"I'm not planning anything. I just want to borrow the two of you. Surrender now and wait to be captured, before the cordiality is damaged, " the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said coldly.
Ying Zongtian retorted in disdain, "With just the three of you? Don't forget: this is the Martial God Palace's territory."
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. The three Holy Masters will delay the experts of the Martial God Palace. You simply have no idea how much I've planned for and prepared for this day.
"K?itigarbha Bodhisattva, how long are you going to wait? Does this old man have to force you out personally?"
When the East Mountain Ghost Monarch heard that, his expression changed slightly. Could it be that the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign already knew from the start that the K?itigarbha Bodhisattva secretly came here?
"May the Lord Buddha preserve us! You truly are the strongest person in the Kunlun Realm. This old man thought that no one would discover me."
The K?itigarbha Bodhisattva chanted out his Buddhist name and appeared. He joined the encirclement, blocking the final gap in the encirclement around the Spirit Fox King and Ying Zongtian.
Only at this moment did the expressions of Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King change.
Four Primes surrounded the two of them. Furthermore, one of the four was the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, whose strength surpassed theirs, and another was the mysterious and unfathomable K?itigarbha Bodhisattva.
"Deity Sovereign, I..., " the Ghost Monarch said, wanting to explain.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign waved his hand, saying, "Don't bother with these pointless words and focus. Only by capturing these two can we force Xiao Chen to meekly give in after he comes out of the Azure Dragon Palace. Otherwise, everything will be for naught."
Ying Zongtian extended his hand, and the Martial God Medallion appeared at his fingertips. It seemed like he was preparing to summon out the clone of the Martial God Palace's First Generation Palace Master from the medallion.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign smiled coldly and opened his hands. A crack tore open in the sky.
The strong aura of the Deity Race Ancestor surged out of the crack, making breathing difficult. When Ying Zongtian saw this scene, he revealed an unresigned expression. Then, he withdrew the Martial God Medallion, making it disappear.
"Consider yourself wise."
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign waved his hand, and the crack mended. The Deity Race Ancestor's aura also vanished.
"I already said, I have prepared much more than you have for this day. Surrender and wait to be captured. Do not do anything pointless. Otherwise, don't blame me for being too ruthless."
Ying Zongtian's face sank, and the determination to fight to the end woke in his heart. At the worst, he would just die. He said coldly, "Old Man Qitian, if you want me to surrender and wait to be captured, I'll tell you now that it's impossible!"
A huge, startling battle was ready to erupt at any moment.
Far in the distance, Chu Chaoyun saw that these six Prime-level existences were about to commence a chaotic battle among themselves, so he went another five thousand kilometers away. With a complicated expression, he took out a Messaging Token.
After he activated the Messaging Token, a black figure appeared. Then, he said, "As you expected, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign went crazy and started attacking Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King."
"It is unfortunate that none of the Primes of the Heavenly Starry Ocean left. However, this is enough. After this matter, you do not owe me anymore. You may leave."
Right after saying that, the mysterious figure disappeared, and the Messaging Token shattered into countless pieces.
