Chapter 1432 (Raw 1422):
I just woke up. Don't bother me…
When all the cultivators in the Dragon Burial Mound heard that, they nearly vomited blood. When people woke up, they tended to be cranky. However, the Shadowless Saber Sovereign's crankiness was on a totally different level.
Of the Demon Crown Scions, the statuses of five were unknown, and three were severely injured, weakened. Of the Deity Dao Union's outstanding talents, six Keepers died directly while the rest of them were wounded to some degree without exception.
All those who fell to the ground were people with great reputations, people who could take charge wherever they went.
However, the Shadowless Saber Sovereign defeated them all in two or three breaths.
Furthermore, the Shadowless Saber Sovereign defeated them right before the Divine Son, Di Wuque, and the Celestial Demon Crown Scion.
After the Shadowless Saber Sovereign did this, he even said such a thing. This was truly extremely frustrating.
"You want to leave? It's not that simple!"
Di Wuque snorted coldly and soared into the air. He immediately caught up to Xiao Chen. Then, without saying a word, he threw a punch.
Back on the Cycle Throne, Xiao Chen watched as Di Wuque launched himself over. For some reason, a heavy hatred stirred in his heart. Even his strong mental state could not completely suppress this hatred, unable to control it.
Xiao Chen never liked such a feeling. His rationality told him that before he had the ability to face the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, no matter how much he hated this Di Wuque, he could not kill him.
However, Xiao Chen truly could not suppress his hatred for Di Wuque, having countless reasons to kill him.
However, none of these reasons could compare to when Di Wuque obstructed Xiao Chen on his Emperor's Road five years ago. If not for Di Wuque, so many people would not have died because of him. If not for the Deity Dao Union causing trouble, why would his Emperor's Road have been so arduous?
If not for the Deity Dao Union, why would he be trapped in his fixation even now?
However, there was not much time to think now. Di Wuque already charged over. With a thought, Pride unsheathed.
"Dang!"
Intense clangor rang out. This punch knocked away Pride.
The throne moved back, and another three Divine Weapons unsheathed and charged at Di Wuque.
Divine Might spread in the air while saber intent raged. Di Wuque's Divine Might flashed with golden light. It coalesced into a sea behind him, rising and falling, surging endlessly.
Before the huge wave, Xiao Chen was like a small boat on the verge of capsizing at any moment under Di Wuque's stormlike attacks.
When the many cultivators watching saw this, they secretly marveled at Di Wuque's strength. Unexpectedly, he could exchange so many moves with the Shadowless Saber Sovereign and retain the upper hand.
After one thousand moves, Di Wuque's aura continued to flourish. He sent out punch after punch, relentlessly knocking away the Divine Weapons.
Saber intent flew about chaotically, piercing hole after hole in the sky that only slowly mended after a long time.
"How incredible! Di Wuque truly lives up to being the Divine Son. At this crucial moment, he stood out in the end."
"Not leaving a shadow, not touching the saber. The Shadowless Saber Sovereign is nearly legendary. I wonder if Di Wuque can defeat this legend and push him off his pedestal."
"Speaking of which, why was the Shadowless Saber Sovereign sealed in ice?"
"I don't know. Perhaps he was trapped and surrounded by Demons. Rumor has it that three Demon Eighth Heaven Martial Emperors came to the Dragon Burial Mound. Furthermore, they were not ordinary Eighth Heaven Martial Emperors but Royal Clan powerhouses of the Demonic World!"
"I heard that the Shadowless Saber Sovereign killed a Seventh Heaven Martial Emperor with three moves and ran rampant, crippling three Demon Royal Halls all by himself."
"If Di Wuque can defeat the Shadowless Saber Sovereign as a Seventh Heaven Martial Emperor, he will recoup all of his face and reputation."
The discussions of the crowd had all the Deity Dao Union's outstanding talents on tenterhooks in anticipation.
By coming to the Dragon Burial Mound this time, the Deity Dao Union wanted to go big and shock everyone, to raise the prestige of the Deity Dao Union by another level.
However, the Deity Dao Union unexpectedly ran into the Shadowless Saber Sovereign, and everything was ruined. Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Di Wuque stood out. As long as he killed the Shadowless Saber Sovereign, he would help them vent all their frustrations.
When the Celestial Demon Crown Scion, who was preparing to attack the Shadowless Saber Sovereign, saw the situation in the sky, he entered deep thought.
Then, he exchanged looks with the other Demon Crown Scions who could still fight. After that, while everyone else was focused on this battle, they quietly withdrew.
"Di Wuque, are you really not letting me go?"
Xiao Chen tried to leave several times but was blocked by Di Wuque. Now, he could no longer be bothered to suppress the rage in his heart. As he sat on the throne, his long hair fluttered, exuding killing Qi.
Suddenly, murderous intent appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes, giving him the aura of an ancient ferocious beast. This stunned Du Wuque.
However, Di Wuque currently appeared to have the upper hand; hence, he did not fear anything at all. "So what if I am blocking you? You already used seven killing moves. I do not believe that you can still continue fighting with me. You shall be my—Di Wuque's—first stepping stone after advancing to Sovereign Martial Emperor!
"Look at the surroundings. There are a thousand warships of my Deity Dao Union. More than a thousand of the Respected Deities are here. Even if I do not block you, you will not be able to leave. Either you submit to me, and the Deity Dao Union, or be a stepping stone for me. Choose for yourself."
As Di Wuque stood in the golden sea, he had rings of divine light behind him. Standing upright with his hands behind his back, he appeared like a celestial being.
Far away, when Chu Chaoyun heard this, he burst out in uncontrollable laughter.
Confused, Yao Manlan asked, "Chu Chaoyun, what are you laughing at?"
Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and replied, "There are some people who are very laughable and lamentable. In another age, there would be nothing wrong with what he is doing. Unfortunately, he was born in the same age as this person."
"Who are you talking about?"
"You will know who I'm talking about soon."
Up in the sky, after Xiao Chen heard what Di Wuque said, his lips curled up, and he could not help laughing, finding this extremely hilarious.
Xiao Chen had wanted to exercise forbearance, but instead, someone forced his hand when he wanted to leave.
"Di Wuque, I am not that strong, not comparable to the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign or even the Holy Masters. However, I am still slightly stronger than you. You are the one who chose this path yourself, so don't blame me."
On the Cycle Throne, Xiao Chen reached out. Wrath of the Seven Deadly Sins flew into his hand with a 'clang.'
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The other six Divine Weapons turned into flowing light and entered Wrath one by one, fusing entirely into a single saber.
This was the first time Xiao Chen merged the Seven Deadly Sins and used them like that. The might of the Divine Weapon immediately rocketed to the sky. The Seven Deadly Sins were originally very close to being Transcendent Divine Weapons already. Now, they completely attained the might of a Transcendent Divine Weapon.
"A Transcendent Divine Weapon, is this your trump card? If you think that this is enough, you are too naive!"
Di Wuque smiled coldly. The Deities' Nation slowly emerged from the golden sea below him. Then, it continuously shrank, turning into a miniature castle that entered his hand.
Primordial Emperor Treasure!
"Naive? You wish."
Holding the Seven Deadly Sins, Xiao Chen suddenly stood up from the Cycle Throne. The instant he did so, the throne entered the carved inscriptions of his black clothes—two mutated black dragons on the left and right.
At the same time, he ignited the ten spots of Saber Energy in his sea of consciousness, releasing an explosion of resplendent light that was far brighter than the sun. Di Wuque's boundless golden sea instantly scattered.
Infused with ten spots of Saber Energy, when this saber chopped down, it cast a shadow in the hearts of all the cultivators who watched, a shadow left by a strand of saber light.
"Dang!"
The Deities' Nation in Di Wuque's hand blocked it for a moment before getting knocked away. In the next moment, it broke through Di Wuque's nine layers of defense, then chopped down on his divine robes.
It was not known what the divine robes were made from, but they actually did not shatter. Instead, they raised a barrier that further mitigated some of the force.
However, even so, Di Wuque's internal organs shattered in an instant. He turned into a beam of rainbow light flying back, zooming far away.
The crowd saw Di Wuque dwindling into the distance. Eventually, he looked no more than a spot and then vanished from their sight. No one knew where he landed.
It seemed like Di Wuque was already no longer in the Savage Battlefield.
