Chapter 1387 (Raw 1378):
Seeing Di Wuque gritting his teeth like that, Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. This person was overly obstinate and conceited.
It was as though everything had to be his. However, with hard work, everyone had a chance at the things of the world. Chance was fair to everyone.
It would not be yours for sure just because you were the Divine Son and you felt that it was yours.
For most of the matters, Xiao Chen was just walking his own path. He did not intentionally think of targeting anyone.
Even the death of the Divine Daughter was not his intention.
However, Xiao Chen did not regret it. Even if he had a chance to do it all over again, he would still make the same decision.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at Di Wuque, continuing his own Emperor's Road.
"You want to finish walking your Emperor's Road? You can forget about it!"
Di Wuque roared furiously and flew over. He was startlingly fast, leaving afterimages in the air. Where the afterimages stopped, space tore, many spatial tears forming.
As Di Wuque approached Xiao Chen's Emperor's Road, the Deities' Nation appeared behind him. Then, he threw a punch at Xiao Chen, who was glowing red.
Wondrous songs of praise resounded in the surroundings. Di Wuque's body became encased in bright divine light, shining everywhere.
"Bang!"
Some minor fluctuations appeared in the scarlet pillar of light. Xiao Chen's steps paused for a moment. It was not due to Di Wuque's punch. Instead, Xiao Chen discovered something else.
There was a light image of a Buddhist lotus flower under Xiao Chen's feet. It sparkled, reflecting the scarlet light and flashing nonstop.
The scarlet pillar of light being able to block Di Wuque's tyrannical punch definitely had something to do with this Buddhist flower.
Xiao Chen raised a foot and took one step forward. The lotus flower light image under his feet moved with him, always remaining underfoot.
"Whoosh!" Xiao Chen reached the next step, and boundless fire launched at Xiao Chen.
The fire tribulation was powerful and boundless. However, before Xiao Chen, encased in the scarlet pillar of light, could do anything, the scarlet pillar of light split the fire in half, and he remained unharmed.
"What's going on? Someone can actually interfere and protect him on the Emperor's Road?"
Such a situation was unheard-off and unprecedented.
Even the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could not aid Di Wuque in blocking the Great Tribulation of wind and fire. However, now, Xiao Chen clearly had an external force helping him.
This could only prove that the person helping Xiao Chen was far stronger than the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.
Xiao Chen wondered to himself, Is this the Maheśvara Buddha's work?
If that was the case, this would be easily explained. The Maheśvara Buddha was an existence on the same level as the Immortal Sky Lord. As for the Immortal Sky Lord, he had been the leader of the three thousand Immortal Lords, the Immortal of the Immortal Epoch who had managed to become the last survivor; his strength was unfathomable.
Even the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign or that Deity Race ancestor would be killed with a flick of a finger from the Sky Dome Immortal Lord.
"No, I absolutely cannot let him succeed in clearing his tribulation! Heaven Punishing Corpse God, East Mountain Ghost Monarch, attack with me and directly shatter his Emperor's Door."
At this moment, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could no longer maintain his calm. For the first time, he felt fear in the depths of his heart.
Clearly, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God felt the same fear. Their expressions turned grave, and with a few flashes, they arrived above the Emperor's Door.
It was hard to say whether a Prime could shatter an Emperor's Door. However, with three Primes working together, it might be possible with their peak strikes.
"Was this the great calamity that the Thunder Sovereign referred to?"
Ying Zongtian entered deep thought as he muttered to himself.
Shattering the Emperor's Door was something very crazy, something simply too crazy. Even if they managed to shatter it, the shock wave from the Emperor's Door's explosion would severely injure the three.
They truly stopped caring about anything for the sake of breaking Xiao Chen's tribulation.
At the critical moment, a medallion appeared in Ying Zongtian's hand. On the obverse were the words "Martial God." The reverse had the word "command" glittering with golden light.
"Is that the Martial God Medallion?" one of the other three Primes asked.
The Martial God Medallion, the inherited medallion of the Martial God Palace. One would be the true Palace Master of the Martial God Palace only if one possessed the Martial God Medallion. It was because of this medallion that the three Holy Masters were unwilling to submit.
Now, the four Primes supporting Xiao Chen were injured and simply could not stop the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign and the other two opposing Primes. So Ying Zongtian could only use the trump card that the Thunder Sovereign left behind.
Ying Zongtian said, "The Martial God Medallion was forged by the first Palace Master of the Martial God Palace. When using this medallion, I can summon out the clone that resides in the medallion."
"How strong can a clone be? Could it be that with just one clone, we can block three Primes?" the Cyclic Astral Lord asked with a frown.
Up in the sky, the auras of the three Primes grew increasingly stronger. All sorts of mysterious phenomena appeared continuously, presenting a rare sight. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign held a divine halberd in his hands. Rings of divine lights appeared behind him. As these rings rotated, many small worlds manifested continuously, countless believers contributing to an endless stream of the power of faith.
Many dragon tattoos appeared on the Heaven Punishing Corpse God's bare torso. They looked like they came to life, continuously swimming around. His body turned into a vast ocean, allowing the many huge dragons to swim about carefreely.
The Ten Thousand Spirit Pearl in the East Mountain Ghost Monarch's hand entered his forehead. His eyes materialized a scene of hell where countless malicious spirits and evil ghosts emerged endlessly.
Looking at the strongest strikes of three Primes, the Cyclic Astral Lord did not hold much hope for this Martial God Medallion. Now, he even started to feel somewhat regretful.
The peak strike of that Deity Race ancestor had been incredibly strong, so strong that no one could see any chance of overcoming it.
Fortunately, that ancestor would not appear for a period of time. Clearly, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign did not dare to endure another Heavenly Retribution. Otherwise, the Cyclic Astral Lord would have turned away and left long ago.
However, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master smiled and said, "So, this is the trump card that the Thunder Sovereign left behind. If it really can summon out a clone of the Martial God Palace's first Palace Master, even with only a tenth of the clone's strength, there is nothing to fear from the three Primes."
"What do you mean?"
"That is a legend. You will see it for yourself soon." The Myriad-Law Fiend Master did not explain any further.
Ying Zongtian quickly flung the Martial God Medallion in his hand into the sky.
Then, he quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and beams of holy light struck the Martial God Medallion, which started to spin rapidly in the air. The light brightened until countless beams of light burst forth from the medallion.
As the Martial God Medallion flickered with light, shooting beams out at random, huge, deep pits appeared in the ground where the beams struck.
The resulting shock waves surged endlessly, even sweeping up the many cultivators millions of kilometers away from Meteor Trail City and sending them flying.
Horrified, many cultivators did not care where they went; they just retreated hastily, frightened pale.
"The Martial God Medallion! The Thunder Sovereign actually taught Ying Zongtian the method for activating the Martial God Medallion!"
"Damn it! That old fool Thunder Sovereign! Our Three Holy Lands have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Why was he not willing to hand it to us?!"
Seeing this scene, the three Holy Masters suddenly stood up with extremely unsightly expressions.
When the final hand seal was completed, the many beams of light gathered, and a human figure appeared. That person held a long saber and shone with a bright light, preventing others from clearly seeing his appearance. All they sensed was a proud and unyielding saber intent.
The saber intent suffusing the air was like the wind and lightning. As it spread into the surroundings, it penetrated the clouds. With this saber intent, everywhere it passed, the wind was no longer wind and the clouds no longer clouds.
All the wind and clouds in the vicinity disappeared, leaving only that proud saber intent filling every corner of the surroundings.
Up on the Emperor's Road, as a bladesman, Xiao Chen felt a fear that came from the depths of his heart.
His body trembled, unable to move.
That's not right. This should be someone that I met before, right?
Xiao Chen sighed and frowned heavily. Although he could see only a silhouette from the image that came out from the Martial God Medallion, he believed that he had personally seen this person somewhere before. Otherwise, he would not feel such an intense feeling of familiarity.
"Who is this? How is it that he has a strength that surpasses a Prime as well?"
The light was so piercing that the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could not open his eyes. His voice quivered somewhat as he spoke.
The saber intent filling the air turned into a boundless aura surging over like a huge wave. The three Primes even had difficulty speaking.
"Never…mind…that…we should shatter the Emperor's Door first…otherwise…we will not have any more opportunities to…do it," the East Mountain Ghost Monarch said through gritted teeth.
"There is already no more opportunity!" Ying Zongtian said indifferently.
Right after Ying Zongtian spoke, that mysterious figure of light drew its saber and sent out a resplendent saber light.
