Chapter 1351 (Raw 1341 Repeat): Is It Pride or Cowardice?
When Xiao Chen removed his hat and his white hair flew everywhere with the gentle breeze, revealing his handsome and delicate face, everyone gasped.
“It really is him!”
“The Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen actually really dared to come to Bright Moon City. How bold of him!”
“It turns out that Di Wuque is right. This makes sense. Aside from the White Robed Bladesman, who else would have such a saber intent?”
“However, it seems like there is nothing he can do. Di Wuque already completely controls the Cloud Moon Saber. No one can stop him now.”
Xiao Chen’s appearance caused a commotion; all the cultivators in Bright Moon Plaza erupted in shocked discussion.
However, at the same time, the situation did not look good for Xiao Chen.
The reason was none other than Di Wuque’s strength being clear for all to see. Now that he held the Cloud Moon Saber, who could stop him from drawing the saber?
On the platform, Yue Bingyun bit her lip. Tears filled her pretty eyes.
Whether Xiao Chen succeeded or not, he had taken the risk and came to this Bright Moon City for her sake.
“Xiao Chen, so, it really is you!”
Shock flashed in Xing Jue’s eyes. After the shock, a horrifying killing Qi brewed frantically.
However, Di Wuque appeared unfazed. He smiled and said softly, “You finally decide to remove your hat? However, I already said you do not have a chance. This moment will be the beginning of your Luck’s decline. When the Supreme Sky Sect is destroyed, it will be your end!”
“Whoosh!”
Right after Di Wuque spoke, thousands of layers of divine light surged out of his body. Clumps of golden clouds in the air churned continuously.
The image of the Deities’ Nation appeared indistinctly in the clouds.
Boundless Divine Might burst forth from Di Wuque’s body. Even though he had not advanced to Martial Emperor yet, his aura already surpassed that of many Martial Emperors.
As the Divine Might spread out, all the cultivators in the plaza scattered hastily.
Amid this boundless Divine Might, Di Wuque grasped the saber’s handle and gave a shout. “Huang dang!” He completely drew the Cloud Moon Saber.
“Rumble…!”
The aura of the Divine Weapon and Di Wuque’s aura collided intensely. Lightning flashed, and thunder roared in the sky, creating all sorts of mysterious phenomena.
Bright Moon Plaza shook continuously. Pillars and buildings crumbled. Cracks spread out in the ground, growing into deep chasms. The entire plaza turned into ruins.
The expressions of all the Heavenly Starry Ocean cultivators who saw this scene darkened at the same time. Di Wuque actually drew the Divine Weapon.
This was simply unbearable, too unbearable. No one expected such a result.
“He really drew it out. It’s over.”
“How unfortunate! The Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter is actually going to marry someone from the Deity Race.”
On the platform, Yue Bingyun showed a grave expression. Her eyes glittered with desolation. The Wind Shadow Sword on her back felt the Cloud Moon Saber’s struggles and buzzed continuously as it trembled, sending out an overwhelming sword intent.
“I, Di Wuque, remained hidden for five years. If I cannot even subdue an insignificant Divine Weapon like you, then I have lived for nothing. Xiao Chen, you may be titled the Azure Dragon King, but what can you do to me?!”
Di Wuque kept a tight grip on the struggling Cloud Moon Saber that was giving off a flashing light. Then, he raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly in an insufferably arrogant manner.
“You must really be in pain. You probably are not satisfied with such a master, right?”
Xiao Chen sensed the Cloud Moon Saber’s struggle. Then he gently muttered, “In that case, let me free you from this.”
A light flared in Xiao Chen’s eyes as a surging saber intent coalesced wildly. His long hair flew about looking suave and carefree. His white robes flapped loudly in the wind.
Xiao Chen’s body burst forth with strong saber intent. In this instant, he unleashed his Saber Domain entirely.
One hundred strands of Primordial Energy, one hundred strands of Vital Qi that looked like soaring dragons, the peak will of thunder, the Dharmic Incarnation hidden in the depths of Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness, his vast Magic Power, he poured everything he had into this Saber Domain without holding back.
This was the first time that Xiao Chen focused all his trump cards and various energies into his Saber Domain.
The Flawless Saber Dao, everything in the world could become a saber.
“Whoosh!”
In the next moment, all the light within one kilometer of Xiao Chen disappeared, entering into a deathly silent darkness. Not a single ray of light could be seen. It was like light disappeared from that place.
This was the scene that regular people saw. However, the outstanding talents present saw a different scene.
Brightness, a light that was exceedingly bright. A saber light that completely suppressed even the blazing sun.
Dazzling, piercing, and shocking.
Saber Domain. The saber came first and the domain later. The domain supplemented the saber and not the saber supplementing the domain. At this moment, within one kilometer of Xiao Chen, aside from the original power of the world, there were also Xiao Chen’s various energies.
When Xiao Chen decided to merge everything he had into his saber for its use, that light naturally was as bright as the sun, something that could shock others.
He exploded the three spots of Saber Energy in his sea of consciousness and drew his Lunar Shadow Saber, sending out his peak strike.
“Whoosh!”
Xiao Chen’s figure looked like he teleported, appearing in front of Di Wuque out of nowhere.
Di Wuque, who was still laughing loudly, had not even reacted before he discovered a saber light chopping down without any warning.
This saber strike was too fast. It suppressed space and struggled free of its constraints. There was no way at all to dodge or block.
“Crack!”
The saber light directly chopped the Cloud Moon Saber in Di Wuque’s hand. There was a cracking sound. Before everyone’s incredulous eyes, the Cloud Moon Saber, a Divine Weapon, broke in half.
“Dang!” Half of the Cloud Moon Saber fell to the ground.
It landed with a metallic clangor. This sound seemed very desolate as it echoed in the world. However, it also gave off a strange joy.
That was the final cry of the Cloud Moon Saber. Only Xiao Chen could understand its grief. As a Divine Weapon, it was not satisfied with being in the hands of someone who was not a bladesman.
It was even more dissatisfied with the fate of falling right after it was drawn.
Likely, only Xiao Chen could understand that joy—the joy of being free.
After being forcibly drawn, it was only doomed to forced submission. Hence, falling like this was a kind of freedom.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
The half of the saber bounced a few times before finally settling on the ground. That final cry was a shout to fate, a mournful lament of helplessness before it died.
Was it pride or cowardice? No one could understand.
There was a pride higher than the sky, a sharpness no saber could match. I have a desire, to break through the Kunlun Realm, to compete with the Divine Weapons of the world above!
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao is unfair. The Worldly Dao is unreasonable. A powerful saber could not meet its destined person!
This cry stunned Xiao Chen slightly. The final sounds of the Cloud Moon Saber echoed in his ears. In his heart, he knew that it was not him who broke the Cloud Moon Saber but that the Cloud Moon Saber chose to allow Xiao Chen to break it.
Was this pride or cowardice? Xiao Chen did not know, either.
As for the cries of the cultivators around and the extremely interesting expressions of the Lunar Palace, they were all far away. Xiao Chen did not even notice the ashen Di Wuque.
Xiao Chen’s gaze was fixed on the broken half of the saber on the ground.
“Impudent. Descendant of the demon Azure Emperor, do you really think that I dare not kill you?!”
A cold shout suddenly came from the Lunar Palace floating in the sky.
That voice was bone-chilling like ice. Everyone in Bright Moon City felt a chill down their spine as they trembled. The rage in this voice inspired dread in everyone. Fear spread throughout their body. No matter who it was, they all felt a terrifying killing intent.
The strongest expert of the Heavenly Starry Ocean, the Lunar Palace’s Palace Master was angered!
