Chapter 1525 (Raw 1507): A Glance at You
The Magic Treasures of the seventeen Immortal statues launched attacks at Heavenly Dragon City at the same time, giving off a strong might.
Immediately, various mysterious phenomena covered the sky.
All these Magic Treasures were peak Immortal Equipment, putting the vast Immortal Might of the Immortal Epoch on display once more. Colorful lights spread across the horizon, turning this world vivid, like a poetic painting.
When this painting unfurled, a feathered jade fan was the first to descend. That jade fan had a total of eighteen divine bird feathers, which it was refined from.
As this jade fan was about to land, it turned into a divine bird before suddenly scattering. The eighteen feathers shot out, leaving a long trail of blazing hot flames.
These feathers were like needles, easily puncturing the defensive light barrier of the Worldly Absolute Dragon Formation. Then, they merged back together and reformed the feathered jade fan. When the fan flapped, it kicked up a boundlessly strong wind, and an overwhelming flame filled the sky.
Fire rained on the city. Countless buildings immediately took flame.
The many Sovereign Martial Emperors on the city walls used their various means to resist the fiery rain.
However, the winds were too strong and the flames too concentrated. It was impossible to block it all.
“Rumble…!”
The one-kilometer-long sword attacked once again, repetitively striking the light barrier and producing loud thunderous sounds that shook everyone’s eardrums.
The light barrier of the Worldly Absolute Dragon Formation looked like it would crumble and break at any moment.
Mo Chen moved back quickly while holding the formation plate. After she flashed another hand seal, the various cultivators at the nodes immediately responded, sending out energy.
A huge wave surged up on the surface of the sea. The entire Heavenly Star Island soared into the air like a gigantic ancient beast. It was incredibly huge; even the Immortal statues no longer looked that large in contrast to the entire island.
Then, Heavenly Star Island moved quickly, trying to leave this place.
“You think that you can flee?”
The Treasure Master smiled coldly. Then, he sent a thought into the Puppet Pearl in his hand.
The seventeen Immortal statues attacked together. “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” They surrounded the flying Heavenly Star Island, and each threw a punch.
When their fingers clenched, the fists of the Immortal statues were like small mountains.
Just one Immortal statue could burst forth with the strength of a Prime. With seventeen Immortal statues attacking together, the power was incredible.
The soaring Heavenly Star Island was forced down amid loud reverberations, landing back on the sea.
The Immortal Equipment flew around the city wildly, sweeping across the place.
Even when the three Primes acted in concert, they found it hard to block all the Immortal Equipment. The entire city was plunged into chaos. Countless cultivators fled in all directions.
There was a treasure mirror among the Immortal Equipment. Every time it sent out a beam of Immortal light, it could immediately pierce a hole even in a Martial Emperor.
There was also an Immortal bell that gave off a pleasing sound when it rang. However, the force of the sound waves shook the entire place as if the world was spinning around.
Seventeen Immortal statues and seventeen Immortal Equipment. There was no way to win.
Heavenly Dragon City shuddered heavily. No one knew how long it could last.
Suddenly, the Treasure Master waved his hand, and the many Magic Treasures returned as the Immortal statues stopped attacking. In mere moments, the entire Heavenly Dragon City had been plunged into a sea of fire. The ground was cracked, and many were severely injured.
Many Sovereign Martial Emperors and the three Primes all appeared fatigued.
As they looked at the Immortal statues, their eyes revealed extreme anger but also helplessness.
They were simply not satisfied. They had not even touched a corner of the Treasure Master’s clothes, and they were already in such sorry states.
The Treasure Master hovered in the air, confident of victory as he said casually, “What do you think? Do you still need more time to consider?”
Mo Chen bit her lip, her complexion pale, helplessness and bitterness written on her face.
The opponent was simply too strong. Before they could fight the Treasure Master himself, they were already mowed down by the Immortal statues. As they looked at the Treasure Master’s expression, it was clear that he was not limited to this. Was the end of the Kunlun Realm truly here?
Even though the Treasure Master did not speak loudly, the cultivators in the city still felt a pressure as heavy as a mountain and sank into despair and helplessness. Did they really have to agree to the other party and forsake half the people so that half could leave?
“Still nothing? In that case, let’s have another go!”
The Treasure Master snorted coldly, and the Immortal statues formed hand seals. The seventeen Immortal Equipment flickered with light, on the verge of a fresh assault.
“Stop!”
Just at this moment, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master stepped forward and shouted coldly, “Treasure Master, there is no need to be so overbearing. I’ll come with you. Let all these people in the city go.”
“Old ancestor!!!”
The moment the Myriad-Law Fiend Master said that, the people of the Myriad Fiend Island turned anxious and all cried out.
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master held up his hand to silence these people. Then, he looked at the Treasure Master and said, “I know what you want to do. I alone am enough.”
The Treasure Master did not say anything for a while. Light flashed in his eyes, revealing a complicated expression. However, after a while, the strange light in his eyes vanished. He finally said, “If you are willing, naturally, that can happen.”
Sacrificing a Prime would, of course, be ideal, but this was something that the Treasure Master did not even dare to imagine.
After all, with the strength of a Prime, even if the entire Kunlun Realm were conquered and everyone else died, Primes would be very hard to kill; they could easily escape if they wanted to.
The Cyclic Astral Lord and the Bright Moon Empress exchanged looks, both shocked by the Myriad-Law Fiend Master’s decision.
“Why are you doing this?” the two asked in unison.
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master replied calmly, “I have already seen past life and death. If not for this Demonic Calamity, I would have already gone to the Kunlun Road long ago. Do not grieve for me. Being a Prime is a form of grief in itself.”
As a Prime in this abandoned land, one was lonely but helpless to do anything about it. The higher one was, the more one felt that this world was a cage.
One could feel the invisible shackles binding oneself ever tighter. After living free and unfettered for so long, one only realized that one was not free upon reaching the peak.
This was the grief of the intelligent. Perhaps, death was just a release.
“Old ancestor, don’t go!”
Seeing that their old ancestor was really going to surrender himself, the Myriad Fiend Island’s cultivators called out in pain, their eyes watering.
Di Xinhan’s eyes turned bloodshot as he clenched his fists tightly, his heart suffering intense torment.
He was the Myriad Fiend Island’s Holy Son but was helpless when it came to situations like this. He had to watch as his old ancestor sent himself to die. He simply could not just accept this.
“There is no need to say anything more. I’ve made my decision.”
“Very well, I promise you. As long as you are willing to come hand yourself over, I’ll let everyone in the city go.”
The Treasure Master was happy at obtaining a Prime as a sacrifice. However, he did not show it in his tone.
“However, I do not agree!”
Suddenly, a clear voice came from the Azure Dragon Palace in the City Lord’s Residence. Closely following that, a beam of azure light shot out and blocked the Myriad-Law Fiend Master.
Then, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and placed it on the Myriad-Law Fiend Master’s shoulder. His hand was heavy and forcefully stopped the Myriad-Law Fiend Master from continuing forward.
“The Azure Dragon King!” everyone in the city exclaimed. The one who arrived was Xiao Chen.
“Treasure Master, I finally get to see your true body. You are indeed very mysterious. Despite being so close, I still cannot see your true face,” Xiao Chen said indifferently as he looked at the Treasure Master in the air.
“Haha! Azure Dragon King, you really appeared at the right time. I thought you went to get reinforcements from Kunlun Mountain. Unexpectedly, you are still in the city.”
Reinforcements from Kunlun Mountain? Could it be that there is something stronger at Kunlun Mountain?
This thought passed in a flash. Xiao Chen stopped thinking about it; he had something even more important to do.
“I do not need reinforcements in order to kill you. Showing your true self before me will be the last decision that you regret!”
Xiao Chen glared with his right eye. The Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning flickered in his sea of consciousness, sending the vast power of lightning tribulations into his right eye.
The three lightning tribulation seeds bloomed, and the flowers spun around in his eye, layering over each other as they prepared to call down lightning tribulations!
With one glance, the Divine Lightning Eye could call down lightning tribulations and decide a person’s life and death.
There was no way to dodge. From the moment Xiao Chen looked at the target, the world had already locked down on the target’s aura.
The bolts of terrifying lightning appeared in the sky. The world instantly turned dark; only the electric light illuminated the world.
Every bolt of lightning felt terrifying. With three lightning bolts layered over each other, even a Prime would tremble in fear.
This sudden scene shocked everyone else and, at the same time, brought on a trace of anticipation.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a pair of eyes was revealed on the Treasure Master’s hazy countenance. At this moment of life and death, he was scarily calm, looking straight at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen felt shocked. This pair of eyes seemed somewhat familiar.
However, there was no much time to think as the lightning tribulation had already landed on the Treasure Master.
