Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation,Chapter 1003: Azure Dragon King - Read free novels online

“You…”

The adamant stance of the Thunder Sovereign was beyond expectations, making the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign feel suffocated.

“What are the three of us afraid of? I don’t believe that his true body is here. I also don’t believe that the three Holy Masters will choose to act against us. It is just one rotten old man. Look at you all, so frightened of him!”

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God felt extremely disdainful. He said in a cold voice, “Just attack. We have an eighty percent chance of victory!”

Although the Heaven Punishing Corpse God said to attack, he did not show any signs of doing so. After all, in the end, this was just a negotiating tactic. He was still feeling somewhat cautious.

Even if they did not kill Xiao Chen, they would at least force the Thunder Sovereign to cancel the title of Azure Dragon King.

“In that case, give it a try. Attack!”

Right after the Thunder Sovereign spoke, the atmosphere in the Tianwu Plaza immediately turned radically different.

Some people already started to slip away, fearing there would be a great battle. If they got swept up in the fallout, that would be it.

Just when the atmosphere became extremely tense, when those Sovereign Martial Emperors started to tire of talking, a huge sun descended from the sky above, accompanied by Emperor’s Might that made one think of the words “Grand Supreme Sky.” A will clone no weaker than that of the five strongest Sovereign Martial Emperors appeared. This will clone showed a grave and stern smile as it slowly flew down with the sun.

“What’s going on? How come there is another expert no weaker than the five strongest Sovereign Martial Emperors in the Kunlun Continent?!”

The moment this person appeared, he caused a great commotion. This person broke not only the balance here but also the balance between the factions of the Kunlun Continent.

The will clone that suddenly manifested emanated a Prime Emperor’s Might that was no weaker than the five strongest experts’. Xiao Chen also found this somewhat strange.

This person gave Xiao Chen a sense of familiarity. This was especially so for the Supreme Sky Might under the sun.

“Could it be the Sect Master?” Xiao Chen wondered, not daring to be certain.

There was another word in front of Supreme Sky, “Grand.” Grand Supreme Sky, this meant extreme and supreme with none above it.

Many years ago, the Supreme Sky Sect also had its glory days. The founding Sect Master left behind a Grand Supreme Sky Scripture. This Cultivation Technique allowed a cultivator to manifest themself as the Heavenly Dao, to exercise the Dao on behalf of heaven.

However, this Cultivation Technique was too faintly discernible. Since the founding Sect Master, no one else had managed to practice it. Fortunately, the founder was also considered unrivaled in his time, and he managed to leave behind many Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques, all of them extremely precious.

Hence, even though no one managed to cultivate the Grand Supreme Sky Scripture, the sect did not decline. It remained a peak Rank 9 sect, passed down for tens of thousands of years without being destroyed.

Now, the Supreme Sky Sect gained even vaster Luck, which produced elites for the sect in large numbers, enough for it to overtake a Holy Land. It was now on the starting line for becoming a Sovereign Sect.

All the Supreme Sky Sect lacked was a Sovereign Martial Emperor and a King Spirit Vein.

If the person in the sky was really a Ying Zongtian who successfully cultivated the Grand Supreme Sky Scripture and became a Sovereign Martial Emperor, there would be a profound change in the Tianwu Domain, which would transform the entire Kunlun Continent as a result.

With two Prime Sovereign Martial Emperors, the Tianwu Domain might be able to fight against the Deity Race, which had three thousand Deity Statues. The result of such a fight was uncertain.

As the approaching person descended, his appearance was obscured by an impenetrable white fog. However, Xiao Chen recognized that silhouette and figure as belonging to the Supreme Sky Emperor, whom he was familiar with.

Hey, that Sect Master of yours has truly been conferred a King already. He actually gained the strength of a Prime when he just advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor. He really hid himself well!

Ao Jiao’s voice appeared in Xiao Chen’s mind, verifying his guess.

Xiao Chen asked silently, You’ve met him before?

Of course, I’ve met him before. Otherwise, why do you think that I told you to accept the Supreme Sky Sect’s offer? He is no weaker than Sang Mu was in the past. Back then, when Sang Mu advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor, he also immediately possessed the strength of a Prime. Unfortunately, the one he challenged was the Thunder Sovereign, and he lost.

Xiao Chen could not help but feel some envy in his heart. That sort of advancement was truly being conferred King. He was still far from that.

However, as long as he could preserve the title of Azure Dragon King and gather supreme Luck and advance it to an Emperor True Dragon, he would definitely take this step sooner or later.

“Ying Zongtian!”

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God felt it was strange.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign and East Mountain Ghost Monarch both felt incredulous as well. Ying Zongtian had not succeeded in advancing to Sovereign Martial Emperor for a thousand years; however, when he did, he immediately advanced to a Prime. What kind of talent was Ying Zongtian?

While such a Prime could not compete with these oldtimer Primes within such a short time, he would still have the power to hold his own.

With one more Ying Zongtian in addition to the Thunder Sovereign and Spirit Fox King, it would be impossible for the other side to touch Xiao Chen. They did not hold any advantage at all.

“Divine Sovereign, just forget about this matter this time. Both you and I know that this upcoming Demonic Calamity is going to be extraordinary. It is not worth having any internal conflict!”

Just at this moment, two figures appeared behind Ying Zongtian.

The Saber Sovereign, Wu Xiaotian, stood erect, holding his Divine Weapon, the Coiling Monarch Time Saber.

The Sword Sovereign, Liu Xiaoyun, arrived holding his Divine Weapon, the Scarlet Firmament Space Sword.

These two people stood behind Ying Zongtian, one on the left and the other on the right, clearly indicating their stance.

While the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns were stronger than regular Sovereign Martial Emperors, they were still far from being Primes. However, when the two of them worked together, even a Prime had to be wary.

Now, it seemed like the tables had turned. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign not only lost the advantage, but he was even placed in a disadvantageous position.

If both sides were really to fight, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign’s faction would have no chance of winning.

Winds blew and clouds gathered above Tianwu City. Nearly all the strongest experts of the Kunlun Continent had gathered.

Who could have expected that a human King conferral ceremony would move the entire Kunlun Realm, nearly changing it?

Of all the people conferred King, only Xiao Chen could cause such a situation.

“Are you still not going to scram? Do you think you are not continuing to embarrass yourselves standing here? In the entire history of Primes, only you three have dared to pressure a junior!”

The thunderous voice shook the sky again. The Thunder Sovereign’s rude voice resounded once more, filled with disdain this time.

“Humph! Thunder Sovereign, let’s see how long you can live. Let’s see how long you can shield this fellow!”

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign’s voice shook with rage. With the rise of a second Azure Emperor, his grand plans of the Deity Race ruling the Kunlun Realm would be delayed significantly.

“Hahaha! Little Qitian, when I was conferred King, your grandfather was not even born yet. Since you dare to speak to me like that, there is no need for you to return today!”

Coming from the Martial God Palace, the laughter of the Thunder Sovereign was like thousands of thunderbolts crashing together. The sky immediately became like a waterfall, a cascade of cracks in space.

A scarlet-colored lightning hammer flickering with countless Heavenly Phoenix Talisman Scripts flew towards the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign’s will clone.

“Phoenix Blood Thunder Divine Hammer!”

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign’s expression changed slightly. He quickly moved the Deities’ Nation image below him. However, he suddenly discovered that the Deities’ Nation image had stopped obeying him.

With one look, the boundless, ethereal, and extremely vast Martial God Palace suddenly awakened. In the first place, the Martial God Palace before everyone’s eyes was a Primordial Emperor Treasure.

Perhaps the actual Deities’ Nation might be able to defeat it. However, this was just an image; there was no way for it to win.

“It is just a will clone. So what if you kill it? No matter what you do, it will not change the fact that you do not have much of your lifespan left. Hahaha!”

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign laughed loudly with his head tilted up to the heavens. Then, the Phoenix Blood Thunder Divine Hammer smashed apart his will clone.

Instantly, the Deities’ Nation image collapsed. Miserable shrieks resounded as scarlet beams of light turned into huge fireballs falling to the ground like meteors.

The Spirit Fox King and Ying Zongtian both acted to prevent these scarlet fireballs from landing. Otherwise, the entire Tianwu City would turn into rubble.

Xiao Chen watched without looking away, his understanding of the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist’s Dusk of Deities increasing to another level as he gained more comprehensions.

The East Mountain Ghost Monarch and Heaven Punishing Corpse God both left quietly. Losing a will clone was not as simple as the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign made it out to be. No matter what, the main body would still be somewhat affected.

“Xiao Chen, today, I formally confer you the Azure Dragon King. Do you accept?!”

After the Thunder Sovereign retrieved the Phoenix Blood Thunder Divine Hammer, his voice resounded again. This time, he directed a question to Xiao Chen.

A beam of light came from the dark sky and landed on Xiao Chen. This drew everyone’s attention to this scene.

The Thunder Sovereign personally appeared to confer Xiao Chen the Azure Dragon King. This was earth-shaking news. Everyone held their breath as they paid attention to the youth in the light revealing his sharpness and magnificence.

“Many thanks for Thunder Sovereign conferring me King. Xiao Chen is extremely grateful and is willing to accept the title Azure Dragon King!”

“Hahaha! Great! The Azure Dragon King title has reappeared after ten thousand years. This is a joyful matter. From today on, Xiao Chen is the next generation’s Azure Dragon King, my Martial God Palace’s Azure Dragon King, my Tianwu Domain’s, all of the human race’s Azure Dragon King.”

Right after the Thunder Sovereign spoke, the thunderclouds in the sky scattered, and sunlight shone down once more. A blizzard of seven-colored heavenly flowers drifted down continuously.

These heavenly flowers were the purest energy essence in the world, reaching the level of seven colors. They were scattered by the Thunder Sovereign using his own cultivation, markedly different from the fireworks images.

Based on how vibrant and persistent the seven-colored heavenly flowers were, lingering for a long time, the depth of the Thunder Sovereign’s cultivation was clear to see.

Instantly, countless cultivators cheered and soared into the air. Then, they started to fight over the multitude of seven-colored heavenly flowers. The entire plaza turned bustling.

“Hehe! Elder Brother finally succeeded in being conferred King. Big Brother Kong Yuan, Big Brother Yuan Xu, quick, go and help Shichen snatch some flowers.”

Xiao Bai laughed happily. Then, she pulled Kong Yuan and Yuan Xu along to help her collect heavenly flowers.

Kong Yuan and Yuan Xu obeyed helplessly.

The Thunder Sovereign himself had endorsed the reappearance of the Azure Dragon King. As the bright sun shone, heavenly flowers fell, flooding the place with many colors.

This path had been extremely difficult. Xiao Chen had encountered countless perils that wore him down and filled him with bitterness. Now, it finally came to a perfect end.

Xiao Chen looked at the familiar figures in the air, remembering everyone’s smiles. Then, he smiled as well.

He still had a long way to go. The end of being conferred King was just the start of the road to Prime.

However, Xiao Chen harbored hope. He was willing to work hard and endure all sorts of loneliness. One day, he would climb to the peak. He smiled jubilantly like a flower, like this very day when heavenly flowers showered down and the bright sun blazed.

Even the most wondrous song had its end. These endless heavenly flowers were not truly endless.

When the song ended, when the flowers stopped falling, the bustling King conferral ceremony started to draw to an end.

---

Outside the Tianwu Plaza, in a tall building, Xia Houjue had already washed off the dirt on himself and changed his clothes. As he looked at the scattering heavenly flowers and saw Xiao Chen performing cupped-fist salutes while sending off the various cultivators, he felt all sorts of bitterness.

Did anyone even remember that the three Holy Masters had prepared this King conferral ceremony for Xia Houjue?

Inside the room was another person—his father, Xia Houzun. He sat at the table alone, drinking wine. His expression was inscrutable.

“Father, didn’t the Holy Master say that the Thunder Sovereign would not make an appearance? Why did he still come out in the end?” Xia Houjue asked through gritted teeth, clenching his fists.
