By acting this way, Xiao Chen would just be seeking death. The Western Sea Dragon King's move was well-played. Regardless of whether Xiao Chen received the gargantuan weapons or not, he would end up at a disadvantage.
"Big Brother Xiao!" Mo Chen said anxiously.
Xiao Chen pushed softly, using a gentle energy to nudge Mo Chen off the high platform. Then, he stepped forward and arrived in front of the mountain tablet that was covered by the dragon flags. Finally, he looked calmly at the fourteen gargantuan weapons.
The Western Sea Dragon King was clearly someone who nursed a grudge. Back then, he suffered a little when he faced Xiao Chen's three-kilometer-long saber. Now, during the Dragon's Gate's ceremony, he immediately returned it over tenfold.
Xiao Chen looked around and focused on the three-kilometer-long stone saber at the forefront. This was the stone saber formed by his saber intent. At this moment, the Western Sea Dragon King personally used it. It was also the one with the greatest might, leading the charge. Xiao Chen needed to receive this three-kilometer-long stone saber first.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and soared into the air, heading directly for that three-kilometer-long stone saber.
Vital Qi surged in Xiao Chen's body as he condensed the Azure Dragon Battle Armor, bursting forth with twenty Dragon Force. As dragon roars resounded, twenty dragon-shaped clumps of energy danced behind him.
"Deities Descending, tenfold combat prowess!"
A beam of golden light entered Xiao Chen's body, and his aura soared infinitely. Twenty Dragon Force instantly turned into two hundred Dragon Force.
Since Xiao Chen learned that his physiological lifespan had suffered considerable damage, he rarely used Deities Descending, a heaven-defying Martial Technique that inflicted damage on both sides, albeit slightly less on his end.
However, Xiao Chen was left with no other choice but to use it today.
Before everyone's incredulous eyes, Xiao Chen, who executed Deities Descending, looked like a celestial being. First, he used a palm strike to break the spatial shock waves from the fourteen gargantuan weapons. Then, he used his hand to grab the three-kilometer-long stone saber at the very front.
"Buzz!"
Space trembled, and the massive wave that surged over splashed back in this intense clash. The other thirteen gargantuan weapons flying over all paused for a moment, their speed slowing significantly.
Xiao Chen roared. As he held the three-kilometer-long stone saber's blade, he ferociously raised it and pushed it off with his palm."Boom!" The stone saber landed heavily on the high platform, standing erect.
He caught it!
The onlookers all exclaimed. The Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen managed to catch one gargantuan weapon without suffering any damage. However, the situation still did not look good with thirteen more such weapons behind, each of them equal to the peak strike of a Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor.
"Haha! Western Sea Dragon King, your strength is rather weak, " the Cyclic Astral Palace's Vice Palace Master mocked when he saw Xiao Chen catch the Western Sea Dragon King's three-kilometer-long stone saber.
Ao Lang blushed faintly. This fellow actually caught his stone saber in front of so many Martial Emperors without suffering any damage. Ao Lang had utterly embarrassed himself.
Xiao Chen suppressed the surging Qi and blood in his body as he looked at the second gargantuan weapon. That was a three-kilometer-long spear bearing strong Astral Energy from the Cyclic Astral Palace's Martial Emperor. Its might was second only to the three-kilometer-long stone saber's.
"Pu ci!" The Cycle Banner soared into the sky from Xiao Chen's body. This Astral Banner unfurled and gave off a wave-like rumble as the starlight of Massacre, Death, Ruin, Despair, and Grief descended from the sky.
Suddenly, colorful lights appeared in the Azure Dragon Plaza. Under the illumination of starlight in five different colors, the place turned into a dreamland.
Xiao Chen's delicate face appeared resolute, calm, and decisive. He reached out and grasped the Cycle Banner. The moment the five different colored beams of starlight descended, he roared ferociously and brandished the Cycle Banner.
He swung the Cycle Banner around, and a vast Astral Energy surged out from it that suppressed the Astral Energy in the three-kilometer-long spear. A strong suction pulled the spear, sending it to land beside the stone saber with a 'bang. '
The Vice Palace Master of the Cyclic Astral Palace had just mocked the Western Sea Dragon King for being too weak. Who knew, right after he spoke, Xiao Chen caught his spear in an even more casual fashion.
The Cyclic Astral Palace's Vice Palace Master's expression changed. Fortunately, the Western Sea Dragon King did not say anything to mock him. Otherwise, it would be worse.
"How strong! Xiao Chen already caught the two weapons with the strongest might. He might be able to catch all of them!"
"The Azure Dragon King really made plenty of preparations for the sake of this Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony."
The cultivators present all felt an irresistible excitement. If Xiao Chen could really catch all of the gargantuan weapons, then this Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony would be very interesting. The faces of the many Holy Lands would be trampled on. Just thinking about it made one excited.
The strongest two gargantuan weapons had been caught already. As long as Xiao Chen could catch the weapons from the Five Poison Sect and the Heavenly Province Academy, the remaining ten would be easier. The people from the ancient Noble Clans and the other Divine Dragon Palaces were much weaker.
The Five Poison Sect's Vice Sect Master said, "Let's see how are you going to catch the weapon of my Five Poison Sect. This stone staff is covered in a total of ten thousand deadly poisons."
The Five Poison Sect's gargantuan staff was not strong. However, it was the most dangerous.
Once one touched the gargantuan staff, all sorts of poisons would enter the body. Although Xiao Chen's half-step Golden Body made him extremely resistant to lethal poisons, his combat prowess would almost certainly decline significantly.
However, the most crucial thing now was not the Five Poison Sect's staff but the other gargantuan weapons. They already charged to the front, not giving Xiao Chen a chance to tackle them one by one.
The danger of the situation was indescribable. When facing the twelve gargantuan weapons, that surging might and pressure made Xiao Chen appear like an ant that might get crushed to pieces at any moment.
The people of the Dragon's Gate all started to worry. As they looked at Xiao Chen in the air, they became anxious.
Just at this moment, a malevolent light flashed in the Western Sea Dragon King Ao Lang's eyes. He clapped his hands and said, "Azure Dragon King, good moves. You managed to catch two of our congratulatory gifts. However, these congratulatory gifts are not meant to be caught one by one. Our hearts are all beating as one. Naturally, these congratulatory gifts have to be received at the same time."
Right after Ao Lang spoke, he sent out a palm strike.
Instantly, the twelve gargantuan weapons that had already charged to the front quickly massed together as a result of Ao Lang's palm strike. Their vast auras merged, appearing like a sharp weapon piercing towards Xiao Chen's chest.
The originally dangerous situation now pushed Xiao Chen into dire straits.
"What strong Emperor's Might."
Xiao Chen felt pain in his chest as he muttered. The might of his kingship showed signs of crumbling at any moment.
"Western Sea Dragon King, can you be any more despicable?!"
The crowd from the Dragon's Gate could not help scolding. This was especially so for Mo Chen. She stood up in a rage, wanting to activate the Azure Dragon Heaven Locking Formation.
The tens of thousands of guests in the Azure Dragon Plaza were set abuzz as well. Unexpectedly, the Western Sea Dragon King was actually shameless to this degree.
When the Western Sea Dragon King saw the anger of these people, he laughed loudly and said while feeling pleased, "What do you mean despicable? Our group came from afar and worked together to offer a gift. Naturally, the Azure Dragon King has to receive all the gifts in one go."
Xiao Chen, who was in the air, waved his hand to stop the raging people of the Dragon's Gate. Then, he looked at the Western Sea Dragon King and said coldly, "Your group's hearts may beat as one, but your strengths differ after all. As for how to receive these congratulatory gifts, I, the Azure Dragon King, naturally need to accept them in the right order. It is not up to you, the Western Sea Dragon King, to teach me what to do."
With a thought, the Sea Monarch Crown appeared on Xiao Chen's head. In that instant, the might of his kingship soared and blocked the Emperor's Might gathered by the twelve gargantuan weapons. In this clash of auras, Xiao Chen even surpassed the other side.
Primordial Energy gushed out of Xiao Chen's Heart of an Emperor. Then, as he threw a palm strike with his left hand, vast lofty aspirations burst out of his chest.
A bright moon as bright as fire soared into the air. This was the Thousand Year Flame, a Profound Martial Technique that Xiao Chen made himself. This palm strike spoke of lofty aspirations and hot-bloodedness. A fierce fire that burned the heart!
At the same time, he threw a palm strike with his right hand as well. A scarlet moon soared into the sky, and petals flew about. This was the Thousand Year Death, a Profound Martial Technique with the same origin as the Thousand Year Flame.
The two moons competed with each other in radiance. Lofty aspirations and hot-bloodedness mixed with calm and grief. These two palm strikes spread the twelve gargantuan weapons.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen's figure flickered in the radiance of the two moons. Then, he threw three more palm strikes that dispersed the twelve gargantuan weapons to different directions.
Driven by one hundred strands of Primordial Energy, each of these palm strikes radiated horrifying Emperor's Might amid the loud noise, shocking all the cultivators observing.
After Xiao Chen threw the latter three palm strikes, two beams of light shot out of his eyes—one gold and one white. They were the Solar True Flame and the Lunar True Flame. The flames chased each other, quickly forming a beautiful Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.
Sweat dotted Xiao Chen's forehead. He shouted through gritted teeth, "Spin for me!"
The Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram started spinning rapidly, exploding forth with a bright golden light.
A suction appeared as the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram spun, flinging the Five Poison Sect's gargantuan weapon containing ten thousand types of poisons to the side of the Cyclic Astral Palace's spear with a loud 'bang. '
The Five Poison Sect old man revealed great shock on his face."How can it be?! He just blocked my congratulatory gift like that! Those ten thousand poisons all wasted!"
"Pu ci!"
A three-kilometer-long sword tore through the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. As it bathed in fiery light, it flew towards Xiao Chen while emitting a powerful sword intent and appearing unparalleled and sharp.
This was the Heavenly Province Academy's congratulatory gift. The three-kilometer-long sword was the one with the sharpest offensive power.
The Heavenly Province Academy old man said coldly, "Even if you catch this sword of mine, you will end up vomiting three liters of blood. The remaining ten weapons will be sufficient to kill you after that."
Saber! Xiao Chen shouted in his heart.
The Lunar Shadow Saber started leaping about nimbly between his palm and shoulders. It was like a beautiful girl performing the most beautiful dance in the world.
As the Lunar Shadow Saber danced about, the surging saber intent in Xiao Chen's body gathered together and flooded into the saber.
Xiao Chen's Saber Domain had already moved from outward power to subtlety. Even without using his Saber Domain, his strong saber intent was already sufficient to intimidate most of the sword intents in the Kunlun Realm.
When that three-kilometer-long sword arrived before Xiao Chen, the Lunar Shadow Saber suddenly stopped dancing. He glared—a glare like a powerful saber blade. Then, he grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber and thrust it forward still in its scabbard in the time it took for a spark to fly.
Xiao Chen used the tip of the saber scabbard to block that three-kilometer-long sword blade. It looked like a clash between sword and saber. However, what clashed were the respective saber intent and sword intent.
Without a master to control the gargantuan sword, no matter how strong the sword intent in it was, it could not compare to the unparalleled saber intent that Xiao Chen instantly launched after storing up power.
"Clang!" It sounded like a celestial zither giving off beautiful and powerful sounds.
When this insignificant Xiao Chen sent out his saber, he forced this gargantuan, mountain-like sword back about eight centimeters.
