Chapter 1566 (Raw 1548): Leaving the Kunlun Realm

Kunlun Mountain's main peak towered into the clouds. No one knew what was at the very top.

All everyone knew was that there was a road leading to the sky, to the outer realm, the road to leave this abandoned land.

Since ancient times, there had been too many legends about this road leading to the sky. However, after being pa.s.sed down for so long, they had no practical information at all.

Xiao Chen's figure entered the clouds, completely vanis.h.i.+ng from everyone's sight.

The moment Xiao Chen pa.s.sed the clouds, his body felt incredibly at ease. It was like shackles that had restrained his body since birth had vanished.

Xiao Chen understood why. The Heavenly Dao could not reach this place, and its rules could not bind him.

After composing himself, he continued forward. The mountain road was very rugged. At some point in time, the environment on the two sides changed.

The layer of clouds was no longer there; both sides were just the void. Amid the void were many spatial storms. Shattered pieces of s.p.a.ce flew about like shards of gla.s.s.

As Xiao Chen walked on the mountain road, he felt the might of the spatial shards as they streaked by. No longer daring to underestimate them, he made sure to avoid these hazards.

These shattered pieces of s.p.a.ce were different from the ones in the Kunlun Realm. The s.p.a.ce here was clearly of a higher level.

By comparison, the difference was like that between the s.p.a.ce in the Sky Dome Realm and in the Kunlun Realm.

This place should be the intermediary s.p.a.ce between the Kunlun Realm and the outer realm. The s.p.a.ce of the outer realm should be of an even higher level.

Coincidentally, a spatial shard brushed by Xiao Chen; he had gotten slightly careless.

However, just by brus.h.i.+ng past, it left a nine-centimeter-deep wound that looked extremely scary.

Xiao Chen glanced at the peak, the towering peak, and wondered how much longer he had to walk.

Now, he no longer dared to fly. The farther he went, the greater the danger of being cut by the spatial shards.

Perhaps, he might be unlucky and get swallowed up by a spatial storm. He did not even dare to imagine such a scene.

No wonder this Kunlun Road is also known as the Road to Death.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Chen slowly walked forward, carefully avoiding those spatial shards. When he could not avoid, he would send out a saber strike.

As the Kunlun Realm's top bladesman in the current age, Xiao Chen's skills with the saber had already reached a great height.

Sometimes there would be no way to scatter these spatial shards, so he used force to redirect them.

"Oh no!"

A spatial storm appeared overhead without any warning. A tremendous suction immediately pulled his body up.

Azure Dragon Divine Wings!

Greatly startled, Xiao Chen quickly unfurled the Azure Dragon Divine Wings, fighting against this suction force.

His body spun around under the spatial storm, out of control.

Meanwhile, several spatial shards flew over.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen's Fish Dragon Art was excellent for dodging within small s.p.a.ces.

Otherwise, even if he was not pulled into the spatial storm, he would be ripped apart by the spatial shards.

After the spatial storm pa.s.sed from overhead, his body landed abruptly. "Crack!" It felt like he crushed something.

The startled Xiao Chen looked down. It was a rotten corpse that had been there for some time already.

Despite being a Golden Emperor's Body, it was completely rotted through. The moment Xiao Chen stepped on it, it shattered.

A broken and rusted saber lay by the hand of this corpse.

"Senior, sorry about this. This was unintentional," Xiao Chen said softly. This was a senior bladesman, but he accidentally crushed this senior's corpse.

This senior was able to leave a corpse behind without being completely ripped apart. He must have been a famous person in the Kunlun Realm.

After sighing, Xiao Chen continued on his way.

Following this, corpses littered the road; one would be visible with every small segment he walked.

The further up the mountain, the stronger the pressure. Slowly, Xiao Chen started to find it difficult to raise his feet. However, there was still a long way to go.

Suddenly, he realized that he had not seen any corpses for quite some time already. Startled, he immediately stopped walking.

The lack of corpses clearly indicated that he had reached a forbidden area. The people who barged into this place did not even leave a corpse behind.

"Whoos.h.!.+"

All at once, three spatial storms blew over, arriving above Xiao Chen. He turned slightly pale at the sight.

Before he could react, his body was sucked into the air, towards the middle of the three spatial storms.

Xiao Chen struggled with all his might. At the same time, he circulated his Vital Qi. Dragon-shaped strands of energy swam around and gathered into two cauldrons.

He roared and threw three punches into the air, each one resounding like thunder, the strong recoil pus.h.i.+ng his body back.

As for the spatial shards that flew over, he simply could not be bothered with them, leaving them to slash past his body.

After punching ten times, Xiao Chen finally fell to the ground, drained of Vital Qi.

His body was covered in wounds dripping with blood. His white clothes were dyed red.

With his injuries and fatigue, Xiao Chen had no way of continuing. He could only stop to rest and recover, replenis.h.i.+ng his Vital Qi.

Even when resting, one had to be careful and keep an eye on the surroundings at all times. One could not relax one's mind, as there was no pattern to the spatial storms in this place.

The summit appeared to be less than a kilometer away. However, Xiao Chen could not help feeling it was as far as the horizon, an infinite distance.

Following this, with every step he took, he would come across three—even four—spatial storms. Later on, there were the even-more-terrifying spatial tears.

These spatial tears closed instantly. If one fell in by accident, there was no saying when one might come out next.

It might be a hundred years later, perhaps even never.

For this one kilometer of distance, Xiao Chen took a step back for every three steps forward and also needed to rest. All in all, he walked for forty-odd days.

After about one and a half months, he finally reached the summit.

This period was truly a nightmare. In the future, Xiao Chen would find himself unwilling to recall this segment of his past.

This was too torturous.

When Xiao Chen turned his head back and looked at this Kunlun Realm, he sank into deep thought.

Even he had ended up in such a sorry state when he walked this path. If the Primes of the Kunlun Realm wanted to walk this road, they would die without a doubt.

This road should not be so difficult, simply a road to death without any chance of survival. Something must have changed, resulting in the present difficulty. Perhaps the Black Lotus Church's people might really have tampered with this.

Xiao Chen retracted his gaze. There was no more road left to walk. When he raised his head, there was a huge spatial whirlpool in the distant sky.

"Is this the spatial tunnel leaving the Kunlun Realm?" Xiao Chen muttered as he looked at that spatial whirlpool. At this point, he was travel-worn, covered in dust.

"Time to go!"

Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and flew quickly towards that spatial whirlpool without hesitation.

Now that he had reached this final step, things became much safer instead. He did not encounter any trouble while soaring.

However, just as he was about to reach the spatial whirlpool, something strange happened.

Many black lotus flowers spilled out of the spatial whirlpool and quickly formed a huge hand that smashed towards him ferociously.

The palm contained immense force. As the pressure bore down, Xiao Chen felt almost suffocated.

"Sharp Spirit Finger!"

Xiao Chen sent out a finger attack and quickly moved back. Cracks appeared on that huge black palm.

However, the cracks soon mended, and the palm continued falling towards him, trying to squash him to death.

"Flawless Saber Technique, Cloud Reaching Stance!"

Xiao Chen promptly followed up with the Flawless Saber Technique's Cloud Reaching Stance. Lofty aspirations surged in his heart, along with hot-bloodedness, soaring past the clouds into the nine heavens.

"Ka ca!" The saber strike landed on the huge palm, cracking it once more.

"Ice Blood Lightning Dragon!"

Ice-attributed and lightning-attributed energies mixed on Xiao Chen's left palm. After a drop of blood came from his hand, a berserk tricolor dragon appeared. It reared its head and roared before ferociously cras.h.i.+ng into that huge palm.

This string of attacks dispersed the huge black palm, which turned into many lotus flowers drifting in the air.

Xiao Chen's heart sank. To think that it was not destroyed and even showed signs of rea.s.sembling!

However, the speed of the lotus flowers' regrouping was languid. Xiao Chen thought, Indeed, the Black Lotus Church tampered with this.

Aside from him, no one in the Kunlun Realm could have blocked the earlier strike.

Xiao Chen was determined to eliminate these lotus flowers. However, after trying a few times, he discovered that the shattered lotus flowers would turn into even more lotus flowers.

This was very similar to the Thunder h.e.l.l that the Demonic G.o.d, whom the Thunder Sovereign possessed, executed.

All his efforts managed to do was slow down the speed of the black lotuses' rea.s.sembly, hardly effective at all.

"Never mind, I should enter the spatial whirlpool first."

Xiao Chen shook his head and chose to give up, directly heading for the spatial whirlpool.
