Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1294

Chapter 1294: Primordial Energy

Feng Ziyi exclaimed in shock, "How can it be? My Winged Demon Finger became like a toy in his hands!"

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "The games come to an end. Thank you very much for this practice session. I managed to gain an introduction to this Taiji Dao."

Xiao Chen had only just learned the foundations of the Taiji Dao and could not use it to break this Winged Demon Finger yet.

However, he would not gain any more breakthroughs by continuing the fight, so he lost interest in prolonging it.

After dispersing the Taiji force field, Xiao Chen circulated his Primordial Energy. A heavy Emperor's Might spread out from his body.

The Lunar Shadow Saber released light. Xiao Chen hacked down with it, instantly chopping the significantly weakened Winged Demon Finger in half.

"Primordial Energy!" This stunned Feng Ziyi. He did not dare to believe what was happening before him.

All the saber intent in the air is available for my use!

With a thought, all the saber intent that spread within one kilometer gathered on the saber. Then, Xiao Chen leaped up and chopped down with his saber.

"Ka ca! Ka ca!"

As the saber landed, s.p.a.ce got sliced apart like it was tofu. Before the saber arrived, the spatial tears created by the saber reached Feng Ziyi first.

These immediately knocked Feng Ziyi into the air, ripping his clothes into tatters. He vomited a large mouthful of blood.

"A Saber Domain that already reached subtlety!"

Feng Ziyi no longer possessed any fighting spirit. He quickly turned and ran, only wanting to leave this place right away.

Xiao Chen exuded Emperor's Might from his body. Even though Feng Ziyi already activated his royal bloodline, Xiao Chen still suppressed him.

In this world, the only dazzling light was Xiao Chen. After he used his Primordial Energy, the deadlock immediately broke.

When Feng Ziyi fled, Xiao Chen quickly swung his saber. Many mysterious phenomena appeared, gathering all the glory into one saber strike.

"Instant of Glory!" A painting within a painting!

Feng Ziyi felt immense pressure raging over. When he turned his head back, he saw a frightening sight—a vast moving painting encasing the area and heading quickly towards him.

"Winged Demon Finger! Condense!"

Feng Ziyi no longer cared about overdrawing his energy. He gritted his teeth and executed Winged Demon Finger again, gathering all his energy on this finger.

"Ka ca! Ka ca!"

The painting of glory shattered explosively. However, before Feng Ziyi could feel any joy, he saw another new painting.

"Shatter!" Feng Ziyi had not realized that he was already within a painting. When he heard Xiao Chen shout, s.p.a.ce shattered. As he was within the painting, his body suffered the pain of being torn into thousands of pieces. He shrieked in agony.

Feng Ziyi activated a necklace around his neck, and a protective light enveloped him. This was a safeguard from the Winged Demon's Demon Monarch.

It was something that could allow Feng Ziyi to escape a Sovereign Martial Emperor. However, he ended up using it when facing Xiao Chen.

"White-robed bladesman, for every debt, there is a debtor. I will definitely repay today's grudge in the Kunlun Realm in the future!"

Seeing the protective light around Feng Ziyi, Xiao Chen withdrew his saber and stopped attacking. This person was astonis.h.i.+ngly fast in the first place. Now that he took out a defensive Secret Treasure that served as his trump card, there was already no point in giving chase.

After all, Xiao Chen had already captured Yao Manlan. He did not fear not being able to uncover all the secrets behind this mission.

"Little Friend, might I ask your great name and which senior is your master?" the three surviving old men from the Sky Dome Palace asked respectfully after walking over.

The respect for someone strong was not influenced by age or generation. This was the tradition of this world.

Xiao Chen gladly accepted their respect, not finding anything wrong. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "There is no need for everyone to be so polite. This humble one is Xiao Chen. I can be considered a part of the Martial G.o.d Palace. The Thunder Sovereign has conferred me as the Azure Dragon King."

"Conferred a king?"

"By the Thunder Sovereign!"

"At such a young age, you have already been conferred a king!"

These three old men had not left the Sky Dome Realm in a long time. Hence, this news stunned them, their faces filling with incredulous looks. In the blink of an eye, the status of this Xiao Chen became much higher than theirs.

"Greetings to the Azure Dragon King." The three old men bowed quickly. It was the rule of the Martial G.o.d Palace that those under Martial Emperor had to submit to those who were conferred Kings.

At this moment, Ying Yue and the hemp-robed old man walked over. When they saw the three old men of the Sky Dome Palace bowing to Xiao Chen, the scene shocked them.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "You are too polite. You should deal with this demon girl first before tidying up the Sky Dome Palace."

"Right, right, right!" Old Yun, who managed the half of the Sky Dome Heart, said, "This demon girl harmed a lot of people. We have to interrogate her properly."

The other two old men looked at Yao Manlan on the ground and mercilessly used a palm strike to knock her out. After that, unable to relax, they even set restrictions in her body, making her like an ordinary person for now.

"We will go and deal with the aftermath first. Azure Dragon King, how about you rest in the palace for now? After we are done with this, we will come and entertain you," Old Yun invited.

Xiao Chen felt excited. There were many places in this Sky Dome Immortal Realm that he was interested in. He could ask these three old men about them, so he did not hesitate to agree.

Old Yun showed a smile and took his leave.

"You are really excellent, tricking me for so long. To think that I was worried for you earlier! Should I address you as Azure Dragon King now?"

After the three old men left, Ying Yue scolded Xiao Chen in a teasing manner.

Xiao Chen smiled and replied, "I already said it back then, that I alone would be enough. However, you did not believe me. What else can I do?"

When the hemp-robed old man heard this, he revealed an embarra.s.sed expression. He smiled and said, "I shall take my leave first. I have not come out for so long. This world has truly changed beyond recognition. To think that the royal demonic geniuses of the Demonic World are so terrifyingly strong! I shall be leaving first."

"How are your injuries?" Ying Yue said as she pointed to the various wounds on Xiao Chen's body. Strong Demonic Qi lingered in them, making them look very horrifying.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "They are just superficial cuts, not a problem. Let's go to the Sky Dome Palace first."

Ying Yue shook her head and said, "I won't be going in. They probably intend to discuss this situation with you later. Since these are internal matters of the Martial G.o.d Palace, I will not be partic.i.p.ating."

Xiao Chen recalled that Ying Yue belonged to the Ying Clan. Furthermore, although the Ying Clan was very strong in the Kunlun Realm, possessing vast acc.u.mulations, they were not managed by the Martial G.o.d Palace.

So, Xiao Chen did not insist on Ying Yue staying, letting her leave.

A servant of the Sky Dome Palace came out and guided Xiao Chen to a pavilion within the inner palace to rest.

Xiao Chen did not waste his time idling in the free time that came after. He continuously simulated the earlier battle in his mind.

There was both joy and worry as a result of that battle.

The joyful thing was that Xiao Chen found his way to the foundations of the Taiji Dao. In the future, he would have another strong move. However, the worrying thing was that he did not know where Feng Ziyi stood among the Demonic World's royalty.

If Feng Ziyi was not among the peak, then the demonic geniuses of the Demonic World's royalty were somewhat horrifying.

Feng Ziyi left two deep impressions on Xiao Chen. One was his speed; he actually moved faster than Xiao Chen. The other was the royal bloodline. Once the royal bloodline was activated, his strength underwent a qualitative change.

If Xiao Chen had not condensed a Heart of an Emperor and could not cultivate Primordial Energy, such an easy victory in the earlier battle would have been impossible.

However, possessing Primordial Energy did not make Xiao Chen unrivaled. Now that others knew about it, they would be able to find means to deal with it. He could not drop his guard against the Deep Abyss Demon Races.

---

Four hours later, Old Yun walked in, feeling apologetic. "Sorry, sorry, we made the Azure Dragon King wait for so long."

Xiao Chen put down his teacup and smiled. "I was not feeling bored. Old Yun, please give me the damage report."

At his mention of the damage report, Old Yun's expression turned sullen. "One thousand Martial Sages, all dead; none survived. Fortunately, the Sky Dome Dragon Formation sustained no damage whatsoever. When the Martial G.o.d Palace sends new people, the formation can resume normal operation. However…"

Old Yun paused here. Feeling curious, Xiao Chen prompted, "However, what?"

Old Yun continued sullenly, "However, the good days are at an end. Although the Demons did not break the agreement, sending out a Martial Emperor, this is the first time they attempted to s.n.a.t.c.h the other half of the Sky Dome Heart in ten thousand years. This probably means that great chaos is coming."

"A Demonic Calamity?"

Old Yun shook his head and explained, "In the past ten thousand years, Demonic Calamities have happened several times already. Usually, the Kunlun Realm would suffer a Demonic Calamity once every one thousand years. However, in every single one of them, our Sky Dome Palace was never attacked.

"The more important thing is that the upcoming Demonic Calamity that should have happened already has not happened yet. I believe it is deliberately being delayed. Once it happens, there will be an overwhelming tribulation. No one will be able to avoid it then."

Xiao Chen's heart sank. Overwhelming tribulation. This Old Yun could be considered a senior of the Martial G.o.d Palace. His words were likely correct.

After the two chatted for a while, Xiao Chen stated his intent. "Does Old Yun know about the unexplored forbidden lands of this Sky Dome Immortal Realm?"

"There are quite a lot of forbidden lands in this Sky Dome Immortal Realm. However, to the Azure Dragon King, most of them should not pose a problem." Old Yun thought for a while and said, "Azure Dragon King, do you intend to explore this Sky Dome Immortal Realm?"

"Is there a problem with that? Could there be a restriction order on this, and I am not allowed to explore them?"

Old Yun smiled and said, "The Azure Dragon King misunderstands. Even if there are treasures in this Sky Dome Immortal Realm, they would be some Immortal Arts or Magic Skills. No one uses them or even cares about them. If the Azure Dragon King wants to explore, I have a map here that records all the forbidden lands of the Sky Dome Immortal Realm in detail.

"There are clear ratings of them: Martial Sage level, quasi-Emperor level, half-step Martial Emperor level, Martial Emperor level, and Sovereign Martial Emperor level. They are all there."

Xiao Chen was surprised to hear this. "There are even Sovereign-Martial-Emperor-level forbidden lands?"

He had not known about this. The last time he came to the Sky Dome Immortal Realm, he was not strong enough, only able to get a rough idea of the place.

"There is, but only one. If the Azure Dragon King does not need to go there, it's best not to."

Xiao Chen received the map that the other party proffered, his eyes gleaming with deep interest. His two Minor Magic Skills no longer interested him.

What he needed were Major Magic Skills or even Supreme Magic Skills. Magic Energy was not a problem. Once the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation broke through to the eighth layer, his sea of consciousness would expand again, allowing him to contain even more Magic Energy.

"Old Yun, do you mind if I stay here for a few more days?" Xiao Chen asked.

Old Yun smiled and replied, "There is nothing to mind. The Sky Dome Palace welcomes the Azure Dragon King at any time. You can stay for as long as you want."

"Many thanks."

Xiao Chen needed some time to properly understand the restrictions listed on the map as well as some time to organize his comprehensions on the Taiji Dao.

Now that he reached this point, raising his strength became extremely difficult. The appearance of the Taiji Dao allowed him to see some possibilities. If he succeeded, it would be of great a.s.sistance.

However, that was not enough. It was far from enough for his Great Tribulation of wind and fire.

Hence, Xiao Chen needed Magic Skills. He needed Magic Skills that could help him clear his Great Tribulation of wind and fire. He needed Supreme Magic Skills.

Xiao Chen opened up the map and examined it. He ignored all the forbidden lands that were below half-step Martial Emperor level for a simple reason: since the old men of the Sky Dome Palace who held on to this map were all half-step Martial Emperors, they must have explored these places before.
