Chapter 1515 (Raw 1495): Intense Wretched Battle
Xiao Chen felt a chill in his heart. This was a trap. The Treasure Master had predicted that he would appear here.
The Treasure Master had a total of eighteen Immortal statues yet buried two here in preparation for Xiao Chen.
No wonder none of the Dragon’s Gate people dared to come out or use a Messaging Token to contact Xiao Chen. They feared that he would rush over upon hearing the news and get trapped in the end.
However, the Treasure Master predicted that Xiao Chen would definitely come. Furthermore, he was right.
“Xiao Chen, give the big present I prepared for you a try! Hahahaha!”
Yi Ling laughed loudly; then, his figure slowly faded away. It was only a clone. Clearly, he was not so bold as to truly appear before Xiao Chen. After all, Xiao Chen could instantly subdue him from anywhere within one kilometer.
The colossal Immortal statues stood ten kilometers tall. Having revealed only half their bodies, they already towered over Xiao Chen and the Azure Dragon Palace.
“Rise!” Xiao Chen shouted and raised the Azure Dragon Palace higher into the air. Then, he ferociously hurled the Azure Dragon Palace with both hands towards Heavenly Star Island.
As long as the Azure Dragon Palace reached Heavenly Star Island and laid out the Five-Element Absolute Sealing Formation, the Dragon’s Gate would be safe, and Xiao Chen would have nothing to worry about.
He then executed the Fish Dragon Art and weaved between the two Immortal statues in an arc, escaping their trap and moving ten kilometers away.
When Xiao Chen looked up, the two Immortal statues were like two tall mountains. Although he tilted his head back to the limit, he could see only up to the necks of the Immortal statues.
One of the two statues was rather special: it had a sword on its back. Xiao Chen wondered if it would use the sword.
He also wondered whether such an enormous statue was nimble or not. How could they strike him, who must look like an ant to them?
The ability of an Immortal statue to destroy an island or a sect went without saying. Given its colossal size, it just needed to stomp down to obliterate a city.
However, Xiao Chen could not help doubting the Immortal statues’ combat prowess in a one-on-one.
While he was thinking this, one of the Immortal statues clenched its hand into a fist and ruthlessly punched at him.
Immediately, the sun above Xiao Chen disappeared. The fist was like a mountain, shrouding him in darkness.
“Whoosh!”
Xiao Chen’s figure flashed; he managed to dodge the attack relatively easily.
Just when Xiao Chen was about to release his bated breath, he discovered another shadow over himself. The Immortal statue’s tightly clenched fist had opened up, expanding the area of attack by another kilometer. As a result, he could not dodge in time.
He had no choice but to dive into the sea and sink quickly.
“Bang!” The seawater split apart like so much tofu before splashing everywhere.
The tremendous force of the palm strike propagated through the water and still struck Xiao Chen, sending him hurtling into the silt at the seafloor like a cannonball.
Then, the two Immortal statues sank at the same time, raising their legs to stomp.
Instantly, the world shook, and countless islands cracked. The boundless seawater could not endure this tremendous force and was pushed away.
A huge hole appeared on the surface of the sea. At the same time, tall, surging waves spread out in all directions.
Strong winds blew in the sky, and torrential rains fell. The mighty force of the Immortal statues caused all sorts of mysterious phenomena to appear. Lightning flashed and thunder cracked. The storm over the sea looked like the apocalypse.
After sinking to the bottom of the sea, the two Immortal statues forcefully trampled him out.
Xiao Chen’s clothes were covered with mud. A quick, simple exchange placed him in an incredibly sorry state. Now, he no longer dared to underestimate the combat prowess of the Immortal statues in solo combat.
“Whoosh!”
The two Immortal statues’ hands moved quickly, forming hand seals.
Xiao Chen’s expression flickered. Could it be that they also execute Magic Skills?
In the next moment, Xiao Chen’s guess proved correct. Electricity crackled between the five fingers of the Immortal statue with the sword as it extended its hand.
“Crackle!”
Thousands upon thousands of hundred-meter-long spears appeared in the sky, boundless lightning dancing around each spear. As the downpour continued, the densely packed spears surrounded Xiao Chen.
With a thought, seven Divine Weapons appeared around Xiao Chen. Seven figures materialized in the rain, grasping the Seven Deadly Sins.
The Yinyang Saber Formation, formed by seven people, helped Xiao Chen block the lightning spears, one after another.
At this moment, the Magic Skill of the other Immortal statue was completed, and it opened its mouth.
Flames surged out. This flame was the True Fire that Immortals used to refine pills. It was not much weaker than a primal-chaos-level flame like the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame.
Furthermore, this flame came in large quantities. The moment the flame appeared, it spread out for five hundred kilometers, leaving no escape.
“Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram!”
Xiao Chen waved both hands, and a resplendent Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram appeared in front, blocking the dense True Fire.
As the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram was on the verge of shattering, Xiao Chen soared into the air and, with a few flashes, left the sea of fire.
Although he managed to escape the sea of fire, it was hard for him to avoid the lightning spears falling from the sky, which sent out strings of scintillating sparks as they struck him.
“Starry Heaven Storm!”
Xiao Chen took a moment to stabilize himself, then counterattacked with the Minor Magic Skill Starry Heaven Storm.
He now possessed extraordinary strength, and the Magic Energy in his sea of consciousness was as vast as an ocean.
Hence, executing this Minor Magic Skill was a simple matter.
The night sky appeared overhead. The stars of the universe twinkled without end. The vast Starry Heavens was a chessboard forged by fate, the stars dotting the sky the pieces on the board.
The sky as the board and the stars as the pieces, the seeds of fate rushed indiscriminately into action!
With a thought, Xiao Chen moved nine stars in the Starry Heavens that he materialized, bringing out the peak might of this Starry Heaven Storm.
“Whoosh!”
The resulting nine starry heaven storms merged into one and turned into a scene of a black night sky as it surged out.
It immediately swept away the lightning spears filling the sky and blew the fire back.
Xiao Chen used Starry Heaven Storm to resolve the two Major Magic Skills of the other side. As he stood upright in the air, he stared at the two Immortal statues in the distance, not daring to relax at all.
“Let me see how long can you last!” Yi Ling said from the darkness with a sinister expression as he watched Xiao Chen dodge the danger and still retain his combat prowess.
A pearl appeared in Yi Ling’s hand, and he sent his thoughts into it. The two Immortal statues’ eyes suddenly turned scarlet, and their attacks became sharper and more ferocious.
Xiao Chen made a mental note of something as he faced the ferocious and relentless onslaught of the two Immortal statues. He kept on dodging, doing his best not to face them head-on. For now, he was trying to gauge the actual strength of the Immortal statues.
The vast sea split into many parts. Strong winds and heavy rain filled the air.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky. Dark heavy clouds seemed to be pressing the sky down. It looked like one could touch the sky just by stretching one’s hand up.
Xiao Chen’s appearance grew increasingly sorrier—like he was in danger of dying at any moment. A cold smile finally curled Yi Ling’s lips.
“Xiao Chen, you never thought that such a day would come, right? Back then, you chopped off my two arms. Today, I will pay it back tenfold, trample you into a meat paste, make you wish for death.”
When Xiao Chen heard this, he revealed a smile of disdain and said, “Young Treasure Master, why keep hiding? Do you dare to show your true self?”
“Don’t worry. When you approach death, I will definitely come out and trample on you, satisfying your wish.”
Yi Ling was no fool. Naturally, he would not be tricked by Xiao Chen’s taunt and foolishly jump out.
As the intense battle continued, Xiao Chen watched calmly, quickly analyzing the two Immortal statues.
Just the bodies of the Immortal statues alone were capable of tiring out a Prime. Furthermore, their speed, reaction, and nimbleness were very good.
The even more horrifying thing was that they could also use Magic Skills and Immortal Arts, besides having bodies that could not die or feel pain.
Right now, the only uncertain thing was whether these Immortal statues could use a Magic Treasure or not.
Only when Xiao Chen verified the true bottom line of the Immortal statues could he attack with all his might. Currently, he was just not making a move. When he did so, he needed to have results.
Xiao Chen’s gaze swept across to eye the huge sword on the back of the Immortal statue on the left.
Needless to say, that sword was definitely a Magic Treasure.
“I’ll use you as a test, then!”
After avoiding the two Immortal statues’ attacks, Xiao Chen executed the Azure Dragon Tail Whip, his figure streaking in a huge arc, and immediately appeared before the Immortal statue on the left.
Then, he attacked with the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist’s Distant Legend. Shining with divine light as his own poetic saga rang out in the air, he continuously stored up power for this punch, the radiance of his fist making it look like it contained the legend of a thousand years, boundlessly resplendent.
“Pa!”
Before Xiao Chen’s fist light landed, the other Immortal statue succeeded in punching him. “Pu ci!” Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood. This was the price he paid for the sake of launching his attack.
“Good!” Yi Ling exclaimed involuntarily when he saw this scene.
Xiao Chen dropped onto a wave. Then, the huge force of the wave tossed him high into the air. Strong winds blew continuously along with the heavy rain. He paled slightly but revealed a faint smile on his face.
He had finally reached a conclusion. These Immortal statues were still not ridiculously strong. They could not use Magic Treasures; the sword was merely a decoration.
Otherwise, that Immortal statue would not have required its partner to deal that blow when Xiao Chen punched. Using its sword would have been more direct, faster, and mightier.
Feeling that Xiao Chen was already a spent force, Yi Ling jumped out and commanded coldly, “Kill him!”
The Immortal statue with the sword on the back leaped forward, punching into the air at Xiao Chen, who had been tossed up by the wave.
Ten thousand bolts of lightning flickered behind the Immortal statue. The power of this punch materialized a boundless mysterious phenomenon, making the gigantic Immortal statue look extremely horrifying.
“The legend still remains; the light is never extinguished!” Xiao Chen suddenly shouted in the air. The diminishing light of the earlier Distant Legend quickly regathered in his body.
Amid the dark, the strong winds, and violent storm, Xiao Chen’s body shone faintly, looking like the only source of light in the night.
The distant legend, the glory of the poetic saga, played out between heaven and earth.
Xiao Chen punched, clashing fists with that colossal Immortal statue with his tiny body.
“Bang!”
When the fists collided, the world trembled. Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy, Vital Qi, and Magic Energy all merged, gathering on his fist.
Amid loud rumbling, Xiao Chen forcibly blocked that punch without taking a single step back.
In the dark night, Xiao Chen looked as insignificant as an ant when compared to the colossal, mountain-like Immortal statue. However, the Immortal statue’s fist could not move him at all.
As this scene unfolded with lightning, thunder, and storm, Yi Ling stared at all this in disbelief.
“Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Deities Descending!” Tenfold combat prowess!
“Again!” Xiao Chen laughed wildly. Instead of retreating, he advanced further, using the tenfold combat prowess move, Deities Descending.
“Crack! Crack!”
Cracks spread throughout the gigantic Immortal statue’s arm. Then, it staggered backward, retreating continuously.
“Dharmic World!
“Scram!”
The other Immortal statue wanted to help. However, Xiao Chen started his huge counterattack without any fear. His figure wavered, and his Dharmic Incarnation appeared, turning him three kilometers tall. Then, he raised his foot and kicked away the Immortal statue that was rushing to the rescue and sent it flying.
