Chapter 1364 (Raw 1354): Slight Upper Hand

This was a Prime-level battle!

Xiao Chen’s heart thumped heavily in excitement. He walked out of the wooden hut, and the others followed quickly, not wanting to be slow.

Primes were already rare in the first place. A fight between Primes had not happened even in the past thousand years. Excitement was inevitable.

The other disciples on the island all came out of their huts and stared intently at the sky.

Ying Zongtian, who was standing on a sun, took a few steps, moving millions of kilometers. From the distant Supreme Sky City, he directly arrived in the sky of Meteor Trail City. Clearly, he already grasped a portion of the state of space.

He was not like Xiao Chen, who only skimmed the surface, not even officially stepping through the threshold.

The sturdy Heaven Punishing Corpse God, who looked like a celestial being, smiled when he saw Ying Zongtian arrive. “Let’s just use ten percent of our strength and have a little fun. How about it?”

Ying Zongtian arrived wearing robes with long sleeves. His figure appeared somewhat frail. The moment he left the formation, the sun under his feet disappeared as well. He replied indifferently, “That is exactly what I was thinking!”

Clearly, the two could not truly fight to the death. The people at their level cared about few things. There would not be any deep grudges or hatred.

If they truly fought to the death, the shock waves would spread very far. Neither side would be able to handle the aftermath.

“It has been a long time since I fought. Ying Zongtian, I hope that you will not lose too fast.”

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God laughed loudly and clenched his fist. “Ka ca! Ka ca!” His bones crackled. Immediately, strong winds blew and clouds surged as one thousand dragon images appeared behind him, moving in circles.

This sight startled Xiao Chen. One thousand Dragon Force. Just ten percent of the Heaven Punishing Corpse God’s strength was one thousand Dragon Force. In that case, did that not mean that the Heaven Punishing Corpse God’s full strength was ten thousand Dragon Force or even higher?

Furthermore, the dragon images behind the Heaven Punishing Corpse God looked much more realistic than Xiao Chen’s. They were distinct and hard to differentiate from real dragons.

Clearly, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God’s usage of Vital Qi was much more exquisite than Xiao Chen’s. Even if both sides used just one hundred Dragon Force, Xiao Chen would not be able to defeat him.

“I heard long ago that the Heaven Punishing Corpse God is the top physical body cultivator. His physical body is already as strong as a peak Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. Regular Divine Weapons would find it hard to injure him,” Elder Ma said with a startled sigh at the side.

Clearly, Elder Ma was deeply shocked by the combat prowess that the Heaven Punishing Corpse God revealed.

“Boom!”

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God pushed off with his feet and used an extremely strange Movement Technique to appear in front of Ying Zongtian. Then, he raised his hand and punched. The one thousand dragons behind him roared and gathered in this punch. His entire right arm transformed into a dragon radiating resplendent golden light.

Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. With one look, he figured out the trick behind the Heaven Punishing Corpse God’s Movement Technique.

This was using physical strength to control space. It was the same principle as Xiao Chen using the saber to control space. In reality, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God did not move. He only used his Vital Qi to control space.

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God’s body did not move. It was space that moved, bringing him before Ying Zongtian.

This was the final mystery of the Void Breaking Stance. However, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God was already very familiar with this, able to do it like a walk in the park. As for Xiao Chen, he was still bitterly chasing after it. The gap was enormous.

Xiao Chen did not dare to shift his gaze away. He had a feeling that after watching this battle, his Flawless Saber Technique would improve further.

As the Heaven Punishing Corpse God sent out his punch, it was like a True Dragon came to life and charged over.

Originally, Xiao Chen thought that Ying Zongtian was not as strong as the other party and would not clash head-on with this punch.

To Xiao Chen’s surprise, Ying Zongtian did not choose to dodge. His palm suddenly gave off a bright light like a huge sun being born.

Ying Zongtian thrust his palm forward to meet the Heaven Punishing Corpse God’s punch. This instant looked like dawn. It seemed as if there truly was a blazing sun coming out of Ying Zongtian’s palm.

The fiery light dyed the sky behind Ying Zongtian red like blood for millions of kilometers.

The fist and the palm met. The sun and True Dragon clashed. The entire sky shook intensely, and space turned blurry.

The cultivators of both sides in Meteor Trail City below felt the impact the most. Countless aftershocks turned into motes of starlight and descended. Wherever the motes of starlight touched, they exploded, spreading more than five thousand kilometers around.

However, even under such conditions, both sides still continued the intense battle for Meteor Trail City.

In the time it took for one to glance away and look back at the sky, Ying Zongtian and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God had exchanged more than a thousand moves.

They moved extremely fast. Xiao Chen could no longer clearly see the battle. He could only make out some signs of their movements through the trajectories.

However, just these signs alone already felt beneficial to Xiao Chen, who could not look away from the battle.

Suddenly, a fiery-red spot of light merged with a piece of True Dragon; then, it fell towards Maple Leaf Lake like a rain of light.

“Oh no! Quickly, run!” Elder Ma shouted in a fluster as his expression changed drastically.

This was a completely unexpected calamity. Although the two Primes used only ten percent of their strength when they fought, both the Deity Dao Union and the Supreme Sky Sect suffered from the many shock waves and sustained many losses.

“Don’t panic.”

Xiao Chen remained calm. With a wave of his hand, the formation plate appeared in his palm. He formed hand seals with one hand and sent Primordial Energy into the formation plate at the same time.

Suddenly, the water of Maple Leaf Lake splashed up. The Formation Spirit of this node turned into a huge water bird shining with spiritual light as it broke out of the water.

As Xiao Chen held the formation plate, his figure flashed. He moved like a dragon wagging its tail, kicking up a strong wind. Then, he landed on the water bird Formation Spirit, bathed in a gentle light.

Riding the large water bird giving off spiritual light, Xiao Chen soared into the air. As he stood on this Formation Spirit, he clearly felt the movement of everything within five thousand kilometers of Maple Leaf Lake.

The pulse of the mountain, the breathing of Maple Leaf Lake, and the surging Spiritual Energy in the formation lines.

Xiao Chen felt like he became one with the formation. He could easily drive a vast amount of energy with every move.

This was the power of the formation, the boost that resulted from it. Xiao Chen was full of confidence as he clashed with the rain of light, throwing two palm strikes.

One was the Thousand Year Flame and the other was the Thousand Year Death!

Two full moons rose from behind Xiao Chen, releasing a boundless light as they clashed with the rain of light, not letting a single drop land.

“Boom!”

A startling explosion resounded as the rain of light and the full moons clashed. A shock wave surged over. Lacking time to dodge, Xiao Chen got struck by the shock waves.

He spun around a few times in the air before landing safely.

Then, he casually wiped away the blood from a corner of his mouth before looking at the sky and smiling bitterly. “Is this really just ten percent of a Prime’s strength?”

Just the aftershocks of the aftershocks already caught Xiao Chen unprepared. If not for the Fish Dragon Art allowing him to shift his vital spots away at the last moment, he would have been seriously injured.

“Big Brother Xiao Chen!”

Mo Chen and the others rushed over and checked Xiao Chen’s injuries.

Xiao Chen got up and waved his hand. He said with a smile, “It’s just some superficial injuries. It’s worth it.”

Xiao Chen suffered only some internal injuries in exchange for the safety of the entire Maple Leaf Lake. Of course, it was worth it.

When some of the disciples at Maple Leaf Lake saw this scene, they were very moved. Xiao Chen could have just done nothing and not gotten injured. However, at the crucial moment, he still went up without a care for himself.

Just as the few were about to speak, their eardrums suddenly trembled, and many people revealed pained expressions as they fell deaf temporarily.

Xiao Chen looked up and saw ten suns slowly entering Ying Zongtian’s palm in the sky.

The surrounding rings of light turned into multicolored lights before fading away.

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God’s figure retreated frantically. His bared torso showed images of dragons that seemed like they were carved on it. These dragon images flickered with light as if a huge dragon were moving about his body.

As the Heaven Punishing Corpse God withdrew, the scene in the sky looked like it was a reflection in water moving to the front; it appeared very mysterious.

Ying Zongtian performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “Brother Xing Tian, thank you for letting me win by half a move.”

After saying that, Ying Zongtian flung his long sleeves out and returned to Supreme Sky City.

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God had a sullen expression. Clearly, he could not accept this result. However, he was still someone of high status, so he controlled his temper and left after snorting coldly, feeling depressed and dissatisfied.

When Xiao Chen reacted, he rejoiced in his heart, clenching his right hand tightly.

He won. Big Brother Ying won. The Heaven Punishing Corpse God came with a ferocious aura but ended up returning depressed. This is truly delightful.
