Chapter 1513 (Raw 1493): Doomsday Approaching

Something had changed in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, so Xiao Chen had to go back. However, before he returned, there was something that he had to do.

“Big Brother, you should go back to the Martial God Palace first. I still need to return to the Azure Dragon Palace for a while.”

Xiao Chen had come out of the Azure Dragon Palace in a rush, leaving many things undone. Since his big brother was fine, Xiao Chen needed to go back in.

Ying Zongtian nodded and immediately left. Although he was injured, as long as he showed himself alive in the Martial God Palace, with the prestige of being a Prime, he could suppress the three Holy Masters and assemble all the forces of the Martial God Palace.

The Spirit Fox King performed a cupped-fist salute and left as well. Now that something major had happened in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, the entire Kunlun Realm would probably fall into great chaos. The Fiend Domain would need him there to take command.

When Xiao Chen entered the Azure Dragon Palace, he found that the old Dragon Horse and the other Item Spirits had been waiting for a long time.

“Sorry, please do not blame us for hiding it from you. If we had not done so, you would not have been able to clear the road of trials,” the old Dragon Horse said.

Everyone had different stances and different positions. How they looked at problems was also different.

Xiao Chen could understand this. The other party did it for his own good. The most important thing was that Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King were both rather fortunate; nothing major happened to them.

Naturally, Xiao Chen would not blame these people.

“I understand. I would like to take the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame. Also, I would like to move the Azure Dragon Palace to Heavenly Star Island. Seniors, is that possible?”

The Azure Dragon Palace itself was a supreme treasure. With the Azure Dragon Palace guarding Heavenly Star Island, at the very least, the Dragon’s Gate would have nothing to worry about.

The old Dragon Horse hesitated for a while before saying, “Everything in the Azure Dragon Palace is yours. Naturally, you may have the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame. However, it is rather difficult to move the Azure Dragon Palace to Heavenly Star Island. With your current strength, you still can’t refine the Azure Dragon Palace.”

“Can you please do your best to help me figure out a solution?” Xiao Chen requested with a cupped-fist salute.

“How about you physically carry it back? Since you can’t refine it, you can only use this kind of stupid method. It would just be tiring,” the azure-clad man suddenly suggested with a smile.

The old Dragon Horse was stunned for a while. Then, it said, “That is a solution.”

“Can the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation be moved as well?”

“Of course. The core of the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation is the Azure Dragon Palace in the first place. Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Palace was not here in the past.”

Thus, the matter of moving the Azure Dragon Palace to the Dragon’s Gate was settled. The black-clad old man took out the purple crystal containing the Heavenly Flame’s Origin Flame and handed it to Xiao Chen.

After Xiao Chen carefully put it away, he discovered that the old Dragon Horse was looking at him with a grave expression as if it had something to say but was restraining itself.

“Old Senior, do you have any instructions for me?”

“Never mind, there is no need for now. Go about your business first. After things calm down for a while, I have some things to tell you. Also, as the Azure Dragon Palace’s master, you have some duties to fulfill.”

Xiao Chen entered deep thought as he nodded to indicate his understanding.

There was no such thing as only one side benefiting without any sort of duty. Obtaining the inheritance and breaking through the shackles of Martial Emperor were both benefits. However, Xiao Chen still did not know his duties.

Even so, there was no rush. Since the old Dragon Horse did not explain, it was not convenient for Xiao Chen to ask.

Furthermore, this was indeed not the time to think about it.

After coming out of the Azure Dragon Palace, Xiao Chen walked around the walls outside. Once he found a suitable angle, he grabbed it with both hands and pulled with all his might.

“Rumble…!”

The Azure Dragon Palace was completely uprooted like a large tree. Xiao Chen felt incredibly tired as if he was carrying a mountain.

However, no matter how tired he was, he had to move it. This was a treasure even more valuable than a mountain of gold.

Holding the bottom of the Azure Dragon Palace, he gritted his teeth, and his Vital Qi surged like a huge river gushing endlessly.

One thousand strands of dragon-shaped energy danced about behind Xiao Chen, moving everywhere.

Using one thousand Dragon Force, Xiao Chen shouted and finally managed to raise the entire Azure Dragon Palace.

Then, he soared into the air, flying in the direction of the Heavenly Starry Ocean.

Wherever Xiao Chen passed, the people who saw him were all stunned.

This was simply a miraculous scene: Xiao Chen actually carrying the entire Azure Dragon Palace.

While this looked simple, as if one could move the Azure Dragon Palace with just sufficient strength, in this world, only Xiao Chen could do this. As long as the old Dragon Horse was not willing, anyone else—even the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, who had advanced to Prime through his physical body—would not be able to get close to the Azure Dragon Palace, much less pick it up.

Although Xiao Chen found this tiring, he did not relax for a single moment, worrying about the Heavenly Starry Ocean’s situation and the safety of the Dragon’s Gate’s people.

He directly unfurled the Azure Dragon Divine Wings and exhausted his Veritable Essence Energy to keep flapping those wings.

Everywhere Xiao Chen passed, strong winds blew. He was like a sharp sword traveling thousands of kilometers, tearing a long tunnel through clouds.

By relying on the Azure Dragon Divine Wings and his Veritable Essence Energy, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the oceanside half a day later.

Now that he was closer, the scarlet spiritual clouds over the Heavenly Starry Ocean became even clearer.

Those scarlet spiritual clouds were not made up of baleful aura. A fresh scarlet represented massacre, an ominous sign. However, those scarlet spiritual clouds clearly had pure Spiritual Energy, aside from massacre.

This was particularly striking in the dense scarlet clouds, which confused Xiao Chen.

What’s going on? I left a Messaging Token with Mo Chen. She should have sent me a message if anything had happened. However, I have not received any messages. Could something have happened to Mo Chen?

At this thought, Xiao Chen became even more anxious, so he made the Azure Dragon Divine Wings on his back flap even harder.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Just at this moment, many figures popped up from the surface of the sea. Xiao Chen, who was holding up the Azure Dragon Palace, saw them very clearly. These were the people of the Merfolk Race from the Chaotic Demonic Sea.

“Quick, look! That is the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen. Inform the queen right away!”

The Merfolk Race immediately noticed Xiao Chen. Soon, the Merfolk Race’s Queen Yao Yan, escorted by the Merfolk Race upper echelon, rushed over.

She gave the others some instructions, getting them to continue bringing the Merfolk Race to the shore.

“Sorry, I’m carrying the Azure Dragon Palace right now and cannot offer you greetings. Can you tell me what’s going on with the Heavenly Starry Ocean and what all of you are doing?” Xiao Chen asked anxiously, then showed a helpless expression as he raised the Azure Dragon Palace in explication when he saw Yao Yan walking over to him alone.

[TL Note: The greetings include the cupped-fist salute hand gesture and not just speaking words.]

Yao Yan saw that Xiao Chen seemed to be struggling. She asked, “Is this the Azure Dragon Palace? It looks like you already went in. Perhaps the Heavenly Starry Ocean can still be saved.”

Xiao Chen’s expression changed, and he said sullenly, “Please tell me what in the world happened.”

Yao Yan let out a long sigh and said, “It’s all over. Now, aside from the Cyclic Astral Palace, the Lunar Palace, and the Myriad Fiend Island, all the Holy Lands of the Heavenly Starry Ocean are in ruins. The other factions and sects were eradicated; it is as though it is doomsday.”

“What exactly happened?!”

“You know about the sea markets that the Treasure Master controls, right? Originally, everyone thought that those huge Immortal statues were just decorations. However, they all came to life. Eighteen Immortal statues swept through the place; no one could stop them.

“The Heavenly Province Academy, the Five Poison Sect, and the Yinyang Paradise—three of the Immortal Holy Lands—were the first to be destroyed. Even the Sect Master of the Five Poison Sect could not flee in time, squashed into meat paste by the Immortal statue.”

Yao Yan’s expression was calm, showing no signs of panic. However, her words sounded like a fantasy story, simply too shocking.

Xiao Chen forced out a smile and said, “You must be playing a prank on me. How could those dead Immortals come back to life?”

“I’m not kidding. Soon, this disaster will sweep through the entire oceanic world. At that time, there will not be a single peaceful place left.”

This…

Xiao Chen remembered that the Myriad-Law Fiend Master once said that there was a danger hidden in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Either it would not happen, or once it did, it would be doomsday; no one would be able to stop it.

At that time, Xiao Chen did not believe him. Unexpectedly, this came to pass in two months.

He also remembered that the Myriad-Law Fiend Master had told him to treasure the peaceful days he had. Surprisingly, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master’s words were on the mark. The two months of peace had been the calm before the storm.

“How’s the Dragon’s Gate? What’s Heavenly Star Island’s situation like?”

Xiao Chen quickly reacted, his expression distorting. Mo Chen did not even manage to send out a message. Could the Dragon’s Gate have been surrounded by the Immortal statues and instantly destroyed?

Dread flooded his entire body.

Xiao Chen really did not want something like the Blood Clad Sect holding all of the Dragon’s Gate hostage to happen again.

“I’m not sure. After I received the news, I immediately prepared the Merfolk Race for migration. The Chaotic Demonic Sea will not remain peaceful for long. I needed to get my people away from the oceanic world as soon as possible.”

Yao Yan revealed an apologetic expression with some fatigue and helplessness. There was also a tinge of despair in the depths of her eyes.
