Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

It’s effective! Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. His boundless Magic Energy started burning, and with a ‘whoosh,’ he pulled over the black flood dragon spitting out flames.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

He raised the Holy Beast Medallion and quickly burned his Magic Energy. Beams of light shot out and sucked these mutated beast images into the medallion.

This is addicting. With a thought, the surging Magic Energy in Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness immediately decreased by a third. A crystalline light spread out from his body, making him look extraordinary, like an immortal.

Powered by Xiao Chen’s Magic Energy, the Holy Beast Medallion burst forth with brilliance and shot out a beam of light. It encased all the remaining mutated beast images and sucked them in, collecting them inside the medallion.

“My hundred ancient beasts!”

This development completely stunned the Lin Clan scion. Each mutated beast image had taken his clan elders a long time to refine. He had only one thousand mutated beast images in his Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron. Now that he lost one hundred in one go, his heart bled.

Xiao Chen grasped the Holy Beast Medallion and smiled. “Brother Lin, many thanks for your beast images. What else do you have? Take them all out!”

“You are seeking death. I’ll fight it out with you. I don’t believe you have much Law Energy left to operate that Secret Treasure.”

The Lin Clan scion swallowed a Medicinal Pill that instantly replenished the Law Energy in his body. His strength returned to its peak. Then, he roared, and another hundred beast images leaped out of the cauldron.

The accumulations of the Sovereign Noble Clans were really shocking. They could take out a peak Sage Grade Medicinal Pill that could recover Law Energy back to full in an instant.

However, Xiao Chen did not feel any fear. The Lin Clan scion would definitely not have two of such a rare Sage Grade Medicinal Pill.

Xiao Chen used another third of his Magic Energy, and the light swept out again. The newly emerged hundred beasts were also sucked into the medallion.

“Pu ci!”

When the Lin Clan scion saw this scene, he was so angry that he vomited blood. With two hundred mutated beast images gone, this Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron would permanently lose twenty percent of its might. While this would not affect him now, as he could bring out only a portion of this King Grade Secret Treasure’s might, it would have a significant impact in the future when he advanced to grandmaster-level Martial Sage.

“Brother Lin, let me give you a hand. Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield!”

The Jiang Clan scion extended his hand, and nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine aged tortoise shells giving off a black light flew out from the hollow of his palm to form a tightly pieced, pointed tower shield. Black light gleamed in between the cracks.

The momentum of this shield seemed very mighty. It was like a mountain pressing down, compressing the surrounding space and forming spatial wrinkles.

Even space was moving; there was nowhere to hide and no way to defend. The space in front of Xiao Chen rebounded, forced him back a kilometer with a ‘bang.’ Then, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

After gaining the advantage with one move, the Jiang Clan scion laughed loudly and said, “Xiao Chen, the Holy Beast Medallion that the Merfolk Race gave you is probably your trump card. While it counters the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron, it does not counter my Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield.

“This is an Immortal Cultivator’s Magic Treasure that my Jiang Clan ancestor found in an Immortal Remnant. After adding in eighty-one kinds of rare divine materials, it was re-refined into a King Grade Secret Treasure. Let’s see how you are going to stay arrogant.”

The Jiang Clan scion was delighted at succeeding in his sneak attack and injuring Xiao Chen in one move. He raised the shield with both hands and descended from the sky, pressing towards Xiao Chen.

Space compressed continuously. The trees and buildings became like reflections in water everywhere the shield passed, becoming vague and hazy. After that, loud bangs resounded, and they turned into powder.

“Die!”

The Jiang Clan scion thrust his hands out, and the Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield covered a certain area and fell towards Xiao Chen.

Space rippled like water, and Xiao Chen felt his body wobbling. His bones crackled. Before the Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield arrived, it was already close to killing him.

The Lin Clan scion with the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron floating above his head smiled maliciously. “Brother Jiang, good move. Crush this fellow and end the line of the Azure Emperor. After that, our Sovereign Noble Clans will have nothing to fear anymore.”

Xiao Chen did not hesitate to execute the strongest move of his Flawless saber Dao, the Martial Technique that he created by observing the old ancestor’s subjugation of a dragon and compressing the thirteen moves of the Dragon Subduing Slash into one.

Flawless, flawless, eighteen Azure Dragons perfectly flawless. Holy Might spread out as they roared as one, shaking the nine heavens.

Xiao Chen manipulated the Holy Might and formed an intangible light barrier to squeeze the space around and send a ripple back. Space exploded when the two ripples collided, nearly opening spatial tears.

Flawless Azure Dragon, Subduing Dragon Profound Slash!

With the eighteen Azure Dragons setting off, Xiao Chen was like an absolute ancient overlord. He roared a warcry, and the Azure Dragons turned into purple saber lights, striking that Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Intense shocks resounded. Cracks spread throughout the dense Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield before the saber lights that could flip rivers and the sea. Finally, the shield exploded and shattered, turning back into nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine turtle shells scattering into the surroundings.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen had used his own strength to break apart this King Grade Secret Treasure.

The Jiang Clan scion vomited blood. He was somewhat incredulous of the scene before him as he regathered the scattered tortoise shells and used them for defense. “Damn it, if not for the fact that I can bring out only twenty percent of this Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield, I would have crushed you into a paste directly.”

The reassembled Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield looked dim. It could not be used for offense for now and could only barely be used for defense.

“Xiao Chen, you truly are the Azure Emperor’s descendant. It looks like it was no coincidence that you managed to defeat me to take the top rank of the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking back then and gained great fame for yourself today. However, as I said before, you will definitely die today!”

Yan Shisi, who had been waiting at the side, took advantage of the moment Xiao Chen had just executed Subduing Dragon Profound Slash and was rather weak, sending out his King Grade Secret Treasure.

Yan Shisi’s King Grade Secret Treasure, called the Profound Yin Umbrella, was a large umbrella covered with a Yin-attributed flame. Both the canopy and the handle of the umbrella were infused with dozens of divine materials equal to Black Patterned Gold and Underworld Black Copper.

The flame in the umbrella was the product of merging eighteen kinds of Yin-attributed flame to form the Profound Yin True Flame. It was even stronger than the Netherworld Flame that Xiao Chen obtained in the past.

The umbrella opened and suddenly expanded, covering Xiao Chen, who just finished executing his Martial Technique.

Yan Shisi formed hand seals, and that umbrella shrank continuously, locking down the space in that area. The Profound Yin True Flame also became increasingly denser.

“In the end, Brother Yan is the one who caught the timing well. Now that Xiao Chen is trapped in the Profound Yin Umbrella, even if he has an unparalleled Movement Technique, he can’t escape. He will be turned into ashes.”

Yan Shisi smiled coldly and retorted, “Turned into ashes? How can he have such a good end? His physical body is as resilient as a Secret Treasure, and he has the bloodline of the Azure Emperor. I want to use this Profound Yin True Flame to refine him into an Azure Dragon Bone Sword that will allow me to become unparalleled.”

“Excellent, this is a good idea. With such a powerful bone sword, Brother Yan will definitely be able to defeat your brother and become the next Clan Head of the Yan Clan. At that time, you will be able to use the resources of an entire Sovereign Noble Clan as you please.”

“Hehe! We are here on our clans’ orders to kill Xiao Chen. Now that we’ve succeeded, we have saved the older-generation experts in our clans a lot of trouble. The Clan Head is sure to view me in a different light.”

Sovereign Noble Clans had many branches and many descendants. Although these people might be the heirs of their clans, the competition among the younger generation meant that their positions were not secure.

With Xiao Chen’s death, these scions would have made a great contribution. Their prestige in their clans would rise considerably, and their positions would be much more secure. This was naturally something to be joyful over.

“Oh no! Why does it feel like my Profound Yin True Flame is gradually diminishing?”

Yan Shisi had been chatting contentedly with his companions. However, when he focused on the Profound Yin Umbrella, he suddenly discovered that the Profound Yin True Flame in the umbrella was weakening. At first, the change was minimal. However, the decline slowly increased until it was as fast as a torrent.

All the Profound Yin True Flame poured into Xiao Chen’s left eye, swallowed up by his Lunar True Flame.

“How unfortunate. It’s still a little short. Otherwise, my Lunar True Flame would be able to reach a balance with my Purple Thunder True Fire again and create an even-higher-level Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.”

Xiao Chen’s lips curled up as he absorbed the Profound Yin True Flame. He even appeared unsatisfied.

After he spoke, an Astral Banner appeared in his hand. Then, he gathered killing Qi on the pole before thrusting it upwards.

Seven stars glittering, mountains and river shatter!

A beam of starlight containing boundless killing Qi shot out from the tip of the pole. Then, it blasted a hole in the Profound Yin Umbrella with a ‘boom.’ The restriction on the space immediately shattered.

Xiao Chen freed himself, holding the Big Dipper Banner. As the banner fluttered, the seven stars formed a constellation and radiated bright starlight.

As the starlight spread out, the boundless energy it contained sent the three Sovereign Noble Clan scions flying the instant the banner unfurled.

“These three Brothers, don’t you want to see this Xiao’s trump card? If at this point, this Xiao does not show my trump card, it would be really unbecoming. I hope you all will not be disappointed!”

Xiao Chen smiled and stabbed the Big Dipper Banner into the ground. The seven Astral Pearls came out and formed a starlight-filled sky encasing the entire area within five kilometers.

What! He still has trump cards?! Even after breaking our King Grade Secret Treasures, he actually still has trump cards he has not used yet? How strong is this trump card?

Yan Shisi and his companions were greatly startled. They did not say anything as they used their King Grade Secret Treasures to protect their bodies, blocking the attacks of the starlight, and quickly left this place.

“Starry Heaven Storm!”

Xiao Chen materialized the chessboard of fate and moved the positions of the stars as he quickly executed this Minor Magic Skill. A black storm swept forward. In the blink of an eye, it caught up with the three who had moved five kilometers away and were using their Secret Treasures to shield themselves.

“Bang!”

The three vomited blood, and their internal organs ruptured. If not for the King Grade Secret Treasures protecting them, this strike would have reduced them to ashes on the spot.

This move knocked away the Profound Yin Umbrella, Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield, and Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron. The three Sovereign Noble Clan scions turned around, wanting to reclaim their King Grade Secret Treasures.

A bright moon rose in the sky. Xiao Chen smiled coldly and said, “How naive! After seeing my trump card, you still expect to withdraw unscathed? You have to leave behind all three King Grade Secret Treasures!”

“Flawless Bright Moon!”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and pointed. A bright saber Qi descended, forcing back the three trying to take back their King Grade Secret Treasures.

After that, seven stars fell, crashing into the three and reducing them to pathetic states, no longer able to bother with the Secret Treasures.

Xiao Chen leaped up and tucked the three King Grade Secret Treasures into his Universe Ring.

The seven stars landed, the earth shook, and the sky trembled, rumbling endlessly for fifty kilometers around. The cultivators in the small city behind all heard that horrifying explosion, and the entire city shook.

Overwhelming shock waves and dust swept out in all directions.

Every cultivator in the city felt suspicious. Who stirred up the winds and clouds, causing the sky to change color? They quickly rushed out and looked into the distance. All they saw was a faintly discernible white figure amid the starlight.
