Chapter 799: Death and Ma.s.sacre Were Originally One

The black sea roared ferociously within the world inside the Death Throne. It felt like a bottomless abyss stared at Xiao Chen with emotionless eyes from a distance.

The purple Lightning Talisman in Xiao Chen’s hand flickered with faint golden light. As the Immortal scripts slowly flowed on the talisman, it gave off sizzling electrical sounds.

Xiao Chen squinted and looked into the distance. Then he entered deep thought. Death and ma.s.sacre were originally one. Without ma.s.sacre, there is no death.

Ma.s.sacre is the means, and death is the result. The two have a cause-and-effect relations.h.i.+p. From a certain point of view, they are actually the same state.

When Xiao Chen thought about similar states, a cycle came to mind. The effect might not be the end. The cycle represented the vastness of the state, far from something that could end with ma.s.sacre or death.

He might have to collect the other five thrones before he could be sure.

Others would only focus on the single attribute of the throne. The Corpse Race and Ghost Race wanted the Death Throne because it worked well with the Dao of death that they cultivated.

It could allow these two races to better control corpses and spirits, strengthening themselves greatly.

However, Xiao Chen’s thought went even further. Of course, the answer that occurred to him might not be correct. When the seven thrones merged into one, the result might not represent a cycle but chaos, eternity, or nothingness, instead. No one could say for sure.

As Xiao Chen stared at a distant spot in the sea, he gave up on his intent to make a move.

Usually, all one had to do was focus on one higher-level state to be able to become a peak expert. He had not even fully grasped ma.s.sacre yet. If he rashly cultivated the Dao of death, he would be seeking his own death.

He would just be like an ant overestimating itself and trying to eat an elephant.

Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense turned around and came out. He saw the real world again, and with a flip of his hand, he returned the Death Throne to the Universe Ring.

In the future, if he could collect all seven thrones, perhaps he might be able to cultivate a peak state that was unprecedented.

With less than half a month to the start of the Sage War that would determine who got to go to the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring, Xiao Chen had to put the Heaven Series training room to good use.

He increased the pressure on himself. Ignoring his fatigue, he put in a lot of effort to practice the new Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, familiarizing himself with it.

Five days later, after Xiao Chen finished all the Holy Spring Spiritual Milk, he dragged his tired and injured body to the cultivation room and frantically absorbed all the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Vein’s origins under the prayer mat.

Soon, it was the last day he could use the Heaven Series training room. Hence, he took out the crystal with the Martial Emperor’s will clone.

Then, he activated the energy crystal. Instantly, an old man made of light appeared in the Heaven Series training room’s combat room.

The old man’s aura did not seem very strong. At least, Xiao Chen did not feel any pressure.

This will clone in the crystal seemed to have only one percent or even just a tenth of a percent of a Martial Emperor’s strength. However, he should still have all his combat experience and techniques; that should be enough.

The old man wore robes of alternating white and blue. He held his hands behind himself as he stood upright. As he gazed at Xiao Chen, he seemed bright and expressive. He said, “My true body is already no more. This will clone has been in use for several thousand years.

“I can appear for only one hour. You better make good use of it.”

Xiao Chen nodded his head seriously. He slowly drew the Lunar Shadow Saber and gathered momentum. A vast sea slowly materialized behind him.

This sea was the mysterious phenomenon of the Dragon Subduing Slash. Xiao Chen had put off using this crystal containing the Martial Emperor’s will clone until now because he planned on using it to help him comprehend the third move of the Dragon Subduing Slash.

The Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique was the Martial Technique Xiao Chen used normally. The Dragon Subduing Slash was his true trump card.

“Rumble…!”

Nine hundred and ninety-nine pillars of water shot upwards, and an Azure Dragon leaped out of the sea. A three-hundred-meter-long saber Qi instantly formed. Xiao Chen roared like a True Dragon as he hacked at the old man in front.

The old man was slightly stunned when he made out what Saber Technique Xiao Chen used. He said, “I have not seen the Dragon Subduing Slash for several tens of thousands of years already. You have learned it pretty well. Unfortunately, there is an extremely large gap between this and Great Perfection.”

The old man swiftly pushed off the ground and gathered all his Quintessence to his palm. Quickly spinning around, he avoided the strong wind created by the dragon-shaped saber Qi.

Then, the old man struck the dragon-shaped saber Qi’s throat with a choke hold. The mighty dragon-shaped saber Qi with a strong aura seemed like it had been hit in a vital point, and instantly shattered.

This development startled Xiao Chen. He had not expected Return of the Azure Dragon to have such a weakness.

Xiao Chen stomped in midair, and an inextinguishable dragon roar came from his body. His figure suddenly advanced, and when his momentum hit its peak, he soared into the air. Auspicious clouds surrounded him as he executed Soaring Dragon.

The old man’s figure flashed and smiled. “This move is pretty good. You understood eighty percent of its essence.”

The old man’s face sank as his clothes fluttered. He formed hand seals and pointed ferociously at Xiao Chen, who was executing Soaring Dragon.

A huge finger seemed to plunge from above the sky, carrying enormous Heavenly Might. The finger gently pressed on Xiao Chen. Even though his momentum was at its peak, the finger pushed him back down.

“Bang!”

Blood leaked out of a corner of Xiao Chen’s mouth. The momentum of Soaring Dragon instantly broke, causing him to tumble a few times.
