Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

In the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, Yin and Yang—two opposing energies—merged in perfect harmony with each other. Yinyang, four divisions, the eight trigrams, and other scenes appeared around the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. The mysterious diagram seemed to integrate a small realm.

The two flame dragons made from Heavenly Flame crashed into the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram with a ‘bang.’ However, the scene that everyone expected—of the flame diagram burning to ashes—did not happen.

Instead, the two Heavenly Flame dragons shattered and turned into countless clumps of dazzling fire that returned to Chu Chaoyun’s eyes.

Xiao Chen smiled gently. Indeed, the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram could block the Heavenly Flame. The Heavenly Flame was a result of Yinyang. If all of it could be gathered together, it could burn all things.

The Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram was unprecedented, mixing Yin and Yang Flames. From a certain point of view, it came from Yin and Yang as well.

Earlier, Chu Chaoyun already used a large amount of his Heavenly Flame. Now that he crashed the remaining Heavenly Flames into the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, he naturally could not defeat Xiao Chen.

The fate of the Heavenly Flame flabbergasted the people below. Not only did Xiao Chen not fear the Heavenly Flame, but he also had an advantage over it.

Xiao Chen pushed a hand forward, and the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram pressed towards Chu Chaoyun. All sorts of mysterious phenomena appeared in the surroundings as if was a small realm pressing over.

Chu Chaoyun dodged in shock but countered soon after. The will of light and the will of darkness reappeared. Then he sent out a primal chaos sword Qi of alternating golden and black.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The sword Qi moved like a gushing river, continuously crashing into the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. Cracks slowly started to appear on the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.

After all, the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram already blocked the Heavenly Flame, resulting in its might decreasing. It was rather excessive to have it try and resist Chu Chaoyun’s sword Qi made from two wills.

When the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram approached Chu Chaoyun, he shouted a warcry, and his figure flashed. Then he took a step forward, advancing instead of retreating, piercing the center of the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram with his sword.

“Boom!” The Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram finally shattered and turned into two beams of light that returned to Xiao Chen’s eyes.

However, Xiao Chen used this time to draw his Lunar Shadow Saber. His purple talisman soared up. The moment he drew his saber, thunder roared overhead, so loud it felt like the sky was falling.

“Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!”

Xiao Chen pointed with his saber, and a hundred lightning bolts turned into flood dragons soaring through the clouds. These lightning flood dragons were all made by the will talisman. They had the immortal attribute and a copy of the Divine Lightning.

Chu Chaoyun pushed off the ground, darkness and light alternating around him. He instantly retreated one kilometer as he swung his sword.

The primal chaos behind Chu Chaoyun materialized the third move of Everlasting Sword Dao—Dawn of a Thousand Soldiers!

Strands of primal chaos Qi merged to form swords with light Qi and darkness Qi. When Chu Chaoyun swung his sword, a strong wind howled, a thousand swords hummed, and space trembled intensely.

A thousand swords tore through the air like a vast army sweeping through the place.

Ten swords worked together to deal with one flood dragon, fighting endlessly in the air. However, deciding the victor was hard. From an overall perspective, Xiao Chen’s lightning flood dragons were at a disadvantage. The swords cut them until they were covered in wounds. If not for the immortal attribute, they would have fallen instantly.

The two leaped into the air and arrived at the center of the chaotic battle, commencing a close-range fight. Sword light and saber light clashed, raising an endless clangor.

The two’s figures flashed, and their speeds rose to the peak. Only two blurry figures were visible along with various horrifying mysterious phenomena of either lightning and thunder or light and darkness.

As the two were engrossed in their fight, the hundred seals of the door of light finally released. Chu Chaoyun’s expression changed, and he quickly placed a black jade pendant, the color of which had already faded significantly, into his mouth.

“Ka ca! Ka ca!”

From around where Chu Chaoyun was, five black spatial tears appeared, slowly spreading out. They easily crushed the surrounding lightning flood dragons and swords into dust.

However, these spatial tears were too late. After Chu Chaoyun swallowed the jade pendant, his body promptly turned incorporeal.

The five Martial Emperors of the various races appeared out of nowhere. When they saw Chu Chaoyun escaping from under their noses, their expressions turned unsightly.

The instant the five Martial Emperors opened the last seal, they had immediately sensed the aura of the Demonic Worlds from Chu Chaoyun. They had not hesitated to make a move, instantly cracking space.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chaoyun still managed to flee. Even with five Martial Emperors working together, they could not even stop a half-Sage. This would be a great joke if word got out.

The Deity Race Martial Emperor muttered, “If I did not see wrong, he swallowed a Void Jade Pendant. That is made from a Void Stone.”

The expressions of the other four Martial Emperors changed slightly. The Fiend Race Martial Emperor suppressed the berserk aura in his eyes and said coldly, “It is hard to find even one small piece of Void Stone in a thousand years. A lot of effort must have been put in to forge the Void Jade Pendant. No wonder he could avoid the Grand Devouring Formation and escape from our hands.”

The Void Stone apparently had great origins. However, Xiao Chen did not know where Chu Chaoyun had obtained it.

He thought of something and said, “Seniors, the Void Jade Pendant in his mouth did not seem to have much color left in it. It is probably not very effective anymore, so he could not have gone far.”

The expression of the white-haired Deity Race old man in golden armor changed immediately. He said, “Quickly give chase. I should have thought of it earlier. The Grand Devouring Formation would have consumed a large amount of the Void Jade Pendant’s energy.”

“Hu chi!”

With a flash of light, the five Martial Emperors flew off somewhere, vanishing from the crowd’s view.

However, Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. He did not feel that this group of Martial Emperors had much of a chance of catching up to Chu Chaoyun. Given Chu Chaoyun’s character, he would not enter the tiger’s den without having absolute confidence.

[

There would definitely be someone outside waiting for Chu Chaoyun. Furthermore, they were likely to be Martial Emperors as well. The Demonic Monarchs might even be there personally.

Nevertheless, in this exchange, Xiao Chen verified Di Wuque’s judgment. Chu Chaoyun’s state of primal chaos was indeed full of openings. It was far from reaching a true merger.

However, if Chu Chaoyun managed to accomplish a true merger, its horrifying might would be easily imagined, sending shivers down one’s spine. It was already so powerful before properly merging; once he succeeded, it would be worse.

---

The mysterious male and female that were in the spatial plane transposition tunnel had excited expressions when they looked at Chu Chaoyun.

The woman had a pure and pretty look. However, she gave off a charm that pulled at one’s heartstrings. Like the first time one looked at clear water, her charm penetrated deep into one’s heart.

If one continued to look at this woman, they would unconsciously become infatuated. Hers was a boundless charm that came about effortlessly, looking very natural, and thus was unblockable.

This woman was none other than the Eros Demon Leng Yue, whom Xiao Chen spent a long time with in the Sky Dome Realm’s Deep Sea Battlefield.

However, compared to four years ago, the current her lacked a sense of frailty. She now had an overbearing aura, giving off an impression of invincibility.

Leng Yue’s aura had also become deep and unfathomable. If Xiao Chen were here, he would be greatly startled.

As for that somewhat mysterious black-robed man, his appearance was handsome with delicate facial features. However, his eyes had an evil aura to them. From the side, his silhouette resembled Xiao Chen’s somewhat.

If Xiao Chen saw him, the shock that it would bring him would be no less than from seeing Leng Yue.

This person was the mysterious Church Leader of the Sky Dome Realm’s Dark Church. However, it was unknown whether this was the true body or a clone; it was hard to tell.

The mysterious man’s lips curled up, and he said in a somewhat indifferent manner, “Take it out, then. Let’s see how much of the Rock of Origin you managed to obtain after using the priceless Void Jade Pendant.

“If the piece of the Rock of Origin that you got is less valuable than the Void Jade Pendant, it would really be a big joke.”

Leng Yue opened her eyes wide, looking at Chu Chaoyun in anticipation.

“Whoosh!”

Chu Chaoyun smiled gently and loosened his tightly clenched left hand. Instantly, a dazzling, bright light shone. The mysterious man and Leng Yue could not help but squint.

Peering through the bright light, they saw a small deep-blue stone the size of a pinky lying quietly on Chu Chaoyun’s palm. This stone was the source of all the light.

The stone was very small, just the size of a pinky. However, it was actually rather big.

The mysterious man and Leng Yue smiled involuntarily, clearly in pleasant surprise.

“Originally, our worst-case scenario was that you would only manage to grab some Light of Origin. I did not expect you to obtain such a large piece. It is sufficient for the three of us to split evenly,” Leng Yue said warmly.

A light appeared in the mysterious man’s eyes. Evil Qi poured out as he smiled. “Split evenly? Since when did I say we would split it evenly? I will take at least seventy percent. You can decide what to do with the remaining thirty percent yourself.”

Leng Yue frowned slightly, her face turning cold. She said, “Teng Xiao, don’t go overboard.”

[

Chu Chaoyun’s expression did not change. It was like he had expected the mysterious man to say that. He did not bother arguing; instead, a golden flame started to gather in the depths of his eyes as he looked indifferently at the man.

The black-robed man smiled evilly and said, “Leng Yue, do you think that without my connection to the Dark Church’s headquarters, you will be able to regain your place as a Demon Monarch? Do you think that you can recover your strength? You would probably still be hiding from your younger sister’s attempts to kill you.”

Then, the man’s gaze shifted to Chu Chaoyun. “You too. Don’t think that you are invincible with one-tenth of the Heavenly Flame. In the eyes of the high-ranked cultivators, the Heavenly Flame in your eyes is just a joke.

“I am already showing you a lot of regard by giving you thirty percent.”

Chu Chaoyun glanced at the walls around him formed from time and space interweaving chaotically. He said casually, “Since you are not willing to discuss this properly, then we might as well not have it.”

After Chu Chaoyun spoke, he swung his hand and flung the Rock of Origin in his hand to a space-time wall. If it really landed in the flow of space-time, even a Martial Emperor would not be able to retrieve it.

The black-robed man’s face revealed shock. This action clearly startled him considerably. His figure flashed, and right before the Rock of Origin touched the wall, he narrowly caught the rock with his hand.

In the end, when the black-robed man opened his hand, he discovered that it was just an ordinary rock. The true Rock of Origin was still in the hand of Chu Chaoyun, who was smiling faintly at him meaningfully.

Rage flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes for an instant. Then he said sullenly, “I want at least fifty percent. Otherwise, I do not even know when I can undo the seal on my true body.”

Leng Yue thought for a while and then said, “Right now, my strength is still not at its peak, so I want thirty percent. Otherwise, when it is time for the Demonic God Blood Sacrifice, I won’t be confident of completing the Dark Church’s mission.”
