Chapter 1365 (Raw 1355): Assembling at Meteor Trail City

The two Primes stopped fighting, for now, ending with Ying Zongtian winning by half a move. Even though they used just ten percent of their strength, the shock waves affected the camps of both sides for millions of kilometers around.

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God lost by half a move, dragging downing the Deity Dao Union's morale. Furthermore, with the arrival of the Fiend Race's reinforcements, the Deity Dao Union could not keep attacking for long and could only retreat helplessly.

In the area around Meteor Trail City, the mountains were no longer mountains and rivers stopped flowing. As no formations protected these places, the battle between several Martial Emperors utterly defaced the landscape of this place.

Although the battle stopped, the mysterious phenomena in the air showed no signs of disappearing.

Black clouds covered the dark sky for thousands of kilometers, appearing endless. Occasionally, a fiery light exploded in the sky. It was the Sun Energy of the Supreme Sky Prime. Sometimes, dragons roared endlessly in the black clouds. That was the surging Vital Qi of the Heaven Punishing Corpse God.

All sort of boundless mysterious phenomena accompanied them; these were the various Martial Techniques of the other Martial Emperors.

Three old men stood on the city wall, staring at the ruined battlefield, remaining silent for a long time.

These three all exuded strong, extraordinary auras. Their heavy bloodlust had yet to fade.

The one in the middle was the Supreme Sky Sect's Vice Sect Master. This person was a genius. Ten years ago, he was only a step away from advancing to Martial Emperor. Due to his good preparations, he was currently already a Sixth Heaven Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor.

He was now far stronger than the seniors who advanced to Martial Emperor much earlier and was currently the commander of the ninth layer of formations.

The one standing on the left was a Supreme Elder of the Thunder and Lightning Palace, a Fifth Heaven Martial Emperor named Wang Xu who possessed startling comprehension in the Thunder Dao.

The one on the right side looked very ordinary. This was a Fiend Race Martial Emperor that rushed over named Jiang Chuan.

Fang Baiyu, the Supreme Sky Sect's Vice Sect Master, said, "Many thanks to Brother Jiang Chuan for coming to reinforce us this time."

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "It's fine. I came on the order of the Spirit Fox King. There is no need to be so polite. Furthermore, given the current situation in the Kunlun Realm, after the Supreme Sky Sect falls, the Deity Dao Union will definitely go after the Fiend Race next."

Although the Fiend Race was the largest in number and also had the most Martial Emperors, it had only two Sovereign Martial Emperors. Hence, it was actually the weakest among the five great races.

If the Supreme Sky Sect fell, given the Fiend Race's strength, they would obviously be no match for the Deity Dao Union. Helping the Supreme Sky Sect was helping themselves. The Spirit Fox King could see this clearly.

Wang Xu said at an appropriate time, "The Deity Dao Union seems to have no intention of launching the final all-out attack. They have been sending only forays in the past few days."

Fang Baiyu nodded in agreement with Wang Xu's opinion. He continued, "It is likely that the other side's ambition is very big, wanting to take us down in one go, not just the ninth layer of formations."

"Let's not discuss this for now. After we rest up today, gather all the people in charge of the respective nodes to discuss this together."

"Right, we should discuss our countermeasures."

At Maple Leaf Lake, after the huge battle ended, Xiao Chen immediately chose to enter into quiet comprehension. He had gained a lot from the battle of the Primes, many new ideas for the Flawless Saber Technique.

Standing on a rather desolate area of the vast lake, he closed his eyes and pondered.

His mind was full of scenes of the Heaven Punishing Corpse God controlling space with physical strength.

Using physical strength to control space was an extremely difficult technique. It required one to have an extremely high comprehension of the state of space in order to achieve it. Xiao Chen still could not do that. He was too far from it and did not have such thoughts, either.

He had only one thought: to advance his Flawless Saber Technique's Void Breaking Stance by another level, pushing it to Consummation and achieving the level of using the saber to control space.

Five thousand kilometers apart or an area of ten centimeters square, they were all space.

The state of space was exceptionally profound. Most Martial Emperors could only scratch the surface, unable to cross the threshold.

Forcefully tearing space the way regular Martial Emperors did was not comprehending the state of space. That was just stupidest and most brutish approach. Only when one could do it like the Heaven Punishing Corpse God or Ying Zongtian did could one be considered to have somewhat grasped the state of space.

The Space Dao was extremely ethereal. Xiao Chen once inadvertently controlled space with the saber. Now having seen Primes exchanging moves, he gained a lot of inspiration.

Countless beams of spiritual light formed of clues intertwined in Xiao Chen's mind, appearing very complicated. As he gained new thoughts, he quickly tested whether they were right or not, slowly eliminating the clues in his mind.

At the same time, Xiao Chen's body also moved slowly.

The lake water under Xiao Chen's feet occasionally stirred, the result of his continuous testing.

Time slowly passed. After some time, only one clue out of that complicated web remained in Xiao Chen's mind.

Just at this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he instantly executed the first move of the Flawless Saber Technique.

"Break!"

The moment the light vanished, Xiao Chen's body also vanished. When he reappeared, he was one hundred meters in front, using his palm as a saber and slowly chopping down.

A one-kilometer tear silently appeared in the calm lake. If one looked into the tear, one would see the silt below, one kilometer down.

One minute passed...two minutes...the tear that appeared still had not closed. It was like there was an invisible wall separating the lake water. This looked very strange.

However, only Xiao Chen knew that it was his Void Breaking Stance's saber intent that was keeping the tear open.

The even stranger thing was that while this saber strike was so mighty, it had not caused any commotion in the lake surface at all.

Revealing an excited expression, Xiao Chen muttered, "This is truly fantastic. So this is what controlling space with the saber feels like! It is not actually dominating space but being out of space and walking on it like it's solid ground.

"This move of mine can be considered to be at Consummation already. After that, I will use this war to create the second move of the Flawless Saber Technique."

Xiao Chen's eyes radiated extremely strong confidence. He had a feeling that the day he completed this Flawless Saber Technique would be the day when the title of Saber Sovereign in the Kunlun Realm would change hands.

Naturally, it would become Xiao Chen's.

"Azure Dragon King, the Vice Sect Master invites you over to Meteor Trail City." Elder Ma quickly flew over just as Xiao Chen was savoring the mysteries of this move.

Xiao Chen recovered his wits and reined in the expression of joy and excitement on his face. Then he asked calmly, "Elder Ma, do you know why the Vice Sect Master is looking for me?"

Elder Ma smiled and said, "He did not mention what it is about. However, I heard that the Vice Sect Master is gathering all the people in charge of the respective nodes. There should be something important to discuss."

"In that case, I'll be leaving for a while, then."

Meteor Trail City was very far away from Maple Leaf Lake, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. Even after executing the Fish Dragon Art to rush over, Xiao Chen spent four hours to get there.

At the city gates, the aura of Martial Emperors lingered in the air, not scattering at all. When one looked up, the remnant marks from the two Primes' exchange of moves were still visible; it was like they were still fighting.

As Xiao Chen stood at the city gates and looked back, he could not help sighing when he saw the shattered mountains and rivers.

Those were once bustling cities of Supreme Sky Province. Now, they had turned into a desert wasteland, flattened.

"Is the one arriving the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen?" someone called out loudly from the city walls.

Xiao Chen found this voice somewhat familiar. When he looked up, he saw a figure in purple clothes with a gaze like lightning. His handsome countenance had a resolute look as his long hair fluttered with the wind.

This person is very familiar. Xiao Chen thought for a moment and immediately recalled who this person was. 

He was the Thunder and Lightning Palace's An Junxi, the leader of the Tianwu Domain's seven giants in the past. The might of his whip had given Xiao Chen a great shock the first time Xiao Chen saw him.

It was not strange that this person was in Meteor Trail City. So many experts of the Thunder and Lightning Palace came, even the Vice Palace Master. It was normal for An Junxi to be here.

If Xiao Chen guessed right, An Junxi should be responsible for protecting one of the nodes as well.

When An Junxi saw Xiao Chen's expression, he smiled and said, "It looks like Brother Xiao finally remembered who I am. Activate the formation plate with you, and you will be able to cross the barrier and enter."

Xiao Chen was about to enter when, suddenly, a small head popped out. This person looked lovely and innocent. The skin of this person's face looked smooth and fair. The eyes on her head were like pearls or gems.

"Elder Brother Xiao Chen, come up quickly! Come up! Xiao Bai waited for a long, long time already."
