Chapter 1002: The Strong Gather (1/2)

A light flashed. It was Di Wuque quickly flying towards Tian Youxi.

When Tian Youxi saw “Xiao Chen” place his hand on his saber, her expression changed slightly. She shouted, “Keepers of Light! Protect the prince!”

“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”

Beams of light quickly shot out from behind Tian Youxi as the thirteen Keepers quickly rushed to Di Wuque’s back with their weapons drawn.

The Keepers all radiated divine light. Then, they merged the light, trying to summon out a Deities’ Nation image to block the s.p.a.ce behind Di Wuque.

Just as the Deities’ Nation image formed, Xiao Chen, who was on the King’s road, drew the saber in his hand.

The lightning bird in the sky quickly entered the saber. Then, a saber light made of electricity swept through the place.

The Deities’ Nation image instantly faded. The merged light of the thirteen Keepers promptly ruptured and broke down. The saber light made them all vomit blood and sent them flying.

The saber light continued on to Di Wuque, its power undiminished. When it struck Di Wuque’s back, it chopped him in half at the waist.

However, Tian Youxi sent out a gentle divine white light and fused Di Wuque’s split body, then carried him as she flew away.

Agonized moans continuously escaped Di Wuque’s mouth. The sounds were heart-wrenching and contained boundless hatred and pain.

“Xiao Chen! Don’t think that this ends when you are conferred King. Just you wait! Wait for me to forge my Deity Statue and take in the faith from nine hundred divine realms. I will return this pain from today to you a hundredfold!”

Before Xiao Chen sheathed his saber, the entire place fell quiet. He walked forward on the King’s road step by step.

“Bang!” The sculptures behind Xiao Chen shattered one by one as he stepped forward, turning into ashes and scattering in the s.p.a.ce.

It was like the fallen statues represented all the people Xiao Chen killed or defeated on his path here.

Those who want to defeat me will get defeated by me. Those that I desire to defeat, none of them can escape!

When Xiao Chen took the final step, all the sculptures shattered. Golden dust spread behind him, filling the air with many colors and looking extremely beautiful.

The dust surged up as if a new sculpture was about to form.

The Azure Dragon King’s insignia in the box the black-clad old man was holding trembled endlessly. He did his best to press down on the box but to no avail. The insignia leaped out and flew towards Xiao Chen’s chest. An azure light flashed and merged with his white robes.

Xiao Chen’s white robes turned illusionary. Soon, it transformed into a magnificent azure Battle Armor. The dragon-shaped insignia on the chest looked very prominent.

“I desire to be conferred King. Is there anyone else not convinced?!”

Who would dare to object? Xiao Chen even chopped Di Wuque in half. Stepping forward now would be the same as courting death.

Even after a long time, no one answered. The golden dust that filled the air condensed suddenly into a golden sculpture of Xiao Chen, and it stood on the shattered platform.

Xiao Chen’s statue showed an indomitable spirit, spreading its might in all directions.

The statue forged from hundreds of golden sculptures was one kilometer tall. It emanated a supreme King’s Might into every direction.

It showed a solemn and stern expression with the Lunar Shadow Saber hanging at its waist. As it stared at the sky, a golden dragon image swam around the sculpture, burnis.h.i.+ng it with wonder.

“Azure Dragon King. He really succeeded in being conferred King!”

The master of this surreal King sculpture had chopped in half Di Wuque, who fled miserably.

Xiao Chen had flung Xia Houjue far away again, punched the face of the Cyclic Astral Palace’s Fu Hongyao, exchanged a thousand moves with Xie Zixuan, stabbing hundreds of holes in him, and defeated Xing Jue in a head-on clash of strength. I will be conferred King. No one dares to remain unconvinced!

“This person cannot be conferred King!”

Suddenly, a faintly audible voice sounded. A colossal hand transcended time and s.p.a.ce, grabbing towards Tianwu City from the distant Deity Domain.

The colossal golden hand contained countless divine patterns of light. Everywhere it pa.s.sed, a deluge of heavenly flowers appeared; bright, seven-colored divine flowers fell from the sky like rain.

This hand traveled several billions of kilometers, from the distant Deity Domain and all the way to Tianwu City in the Tianwu Domain’s Central Province, to grab Xiao Chen.

The words of this person were like they were the truth of the world, reverberating everywhere and echoed by divine sounds.

“The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign!”

The expressions of everyone present all changed radically. Among the Deity Race, aside from the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, there was no one who could exhibit such strength and create such a scene.

The attack of this person was very sudden, so fast that it did not even give anyone time to think.

As this colossal hand stretched over, a boundless Emperor’s Might descended. Everyone at the plaza became extremely minuscule and tiny. This scene was very similar to the one in the sea of bitterness behind the Bridge of Helplessness.

At this moment, Xiao Chen looked like an ant that would get squashed by this colossal hand.

A bolt of Divine Lightning roared, lighting up the sky, like a wild saber chopping down and hacking off this hand.

However, this colossal hand did not scatter. It paused for a moment before continuing to move towards Xiao Chen.

Take out the Azure Dragon Medallion! Xiao Chen said urgently to Ao Jiao.

Without a word, she controlled Xiao Chen’s body and brought out the Azure Dragon Medallion.

The Azure Dragon Medallion hovered over Xiao Chen’s head, and his body returned to normal. Then, he leaped into the air and dodged the attack of this colossal divine hand plummeting from the sky.

If not for the Azure Dragon Medallion helping Xiao Chen block the might of the hand, no matter how high he jumped or how far, he still would have been squashed like an ant.

“Di Qitian, are you trying to incite a great war between our two races?” A furious roar came from the Martial G.o.d Palace. The broken hand left by the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign completely shattered and dispersed.
