Chapter 1009: One with Heaven (1/2)

As a peak great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, one could already start converting their Heavenly Sage Laws to Heavenly Laws.

However, when compared to First Elder Han Qinghe, these people were clearly much weaker. They had just started refining their Heavenly Sage Laws and had yet to convert any of these into Heavenly Laws.

The seven people who sat on both sides all stood up suddenly. Their gazes were as sharp as knives as they tried to pierce through Xiao Chen and completely see through him.

The black-clad old man stroked his spa.r.s.e beard. His face was red with vigor; his spiritedness did not seem old at all. He was not surprised at Xiao Chen’s abrupt appearance as if he had expected it.

The black-clad old man said, “Naturally, I have no problem with exchanging moves with you. However, if you lose, you have to hand over the Sea Monarch Crown.”

The other six smiled coldly as they waited for Xiao Chen’s reply.

Something seems off with the situation. It is like these old things are purposely agitating you into fighting, Ao Jiao warned from the Immortal Spirit Ring.

Xiao Chen thought about it for a bit and agreed that something felt off.

“What’s wrong? The so-called Azure Dragon King does not have that courage?” the green-clad old man mocked with a cold expression on his face.

Ao Jiao softly reminded, You better be more careful.

It’s not a problem!

When strength reached a certain level, one could use force to break through technique. No tricks or plots would help.

As of now, Xiao Chen was already confident of sweeping through anyone within the great grandmaster-level Martial Sage realm with force. He wanted to see what tricks these people had.

He raised his head and directly agreed. “If you lose, please leave the Supreme Sky Sect and never appear in front of me again.”

“Don’t worry. You definitely have no chance of victory. Just remember what you said. Prepare to hand over the Sea Monarch Crown!”

The black-clad old man laughed and walked out the palace doors. After climbing some steps, he arrived at an open-air platform in front of the palace.

The other six looked at Xiao Chen as they walked past him as if they were waiting to see a good show.

The old man walked to the center of the platform and finished his preparations, waiting to unleash his stored energy. He became like a great hidden dragon, biding his time for the moment to leap up and defeat Xiao Chen in one move.

Xiao Chen stood still one hundred meters away. The moment he stepped down, he completely calmed himself down. There was no joy or grief; he was calm and steady as still water.

Let’s see what sinister traps and tricks you have for you to behave so unbridledly.

The black-clad old man’s lips curled up, revealing a cold smile. A berserk dragon roar came from his body, and his eyes turned red.

The old man’s aura suddenly soared, all the way until it broke through to quasi-Emperor.

“Hehe! Our seven colored Marquises have the Berserk Dragon Art, a secret technique left by the Sea Monarch. It can raise our cultivation realm by one grade temporarily. Now, I am a quasi-Emperor. I will decide this match in one move, defeating you like the worm you are!”

The winds and clouds stirred, shaking up the platform’s surroundings. The aura of a quasi-Emperor surged out in all directions, instantly blanketing the entire inner city.

All the Supreme Sky Sect disciples in the inner city revealed shocked expressions. Why was a quasi-Emperor projecting his aura across the inner city?

Furthermore, the killing Qi was so heavy. Could an enemy have infiltrated the inner city? Figures shot up, heading for the source of the aura, quickly rus.h.i.+ng over.

A quasi-Emperor was a person with influence wherever he went. Normally, one could not encounter a quasi-Emperor.

“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”

Soon, more than a hundred disciples stopped about the walls around the palace. When they saw the black-clad old man facing Xiao Chen, surprise appeared on their faces.

Unexpectedly, the newly conferred Azure Dragon King, their Senior Brother Xiao Chen, was going to fight a quasi-Emperor.

A strange look appeared on Shui Lingling’s face. When she was about to step in to put a halt to this, Han Qinghe stopped her. “Don’t panic. Such a false quasi-Emperor will not be able to block Xiao Chen’s path.”

“But based on this aura and strength, he is no different from a quasi-Emperor. He will surely be able to fight with the strength of a quasi-Emperor.”

Shui Lingling still felt very worried. Who could have expected the Sea Monarch to have left behind such a secret technique that even a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage could raise his cultivation by one grade?

Han Qinghe smiled faintly and said, “Rest a.s.sured. He is not a true quasi-Emperor; he just looks it. The Berserk Dragon Art is such a heaven-defying secret technique. What he has is definitely only an incomplete copy. He will not be able to pose much of a problem.”

The black-clad old man felt slightly shocked. Even after he flaunted the aura of a quasi-Emperor, Xiao Chen’s expression did not change at all. Xiao Chen did not panic in the least bit, exposing no openings.

If this continued and the black-clad old man could not find any openings or weaknesses, he would have difficulty suppressing Xiao Chen in one move. However, he could not maintain the Berserk Dragon Art for long.

The black-clad old man’s Berserk Dragon Art was only an incomplete copy. If he used it rashly, he would suffer a significant backlash. The less strength he brought out, the weaker the backlash. However, the more strength he brought out, the more damage he would inflict on himself.

Naturally, the best result would be to find an opening and easily gain victory, taking back the Sea Monarch Crown. However, it looked like such expectations were unrealistic.

d.a.m.n it! I can only clash head-on.

However, just as the black-clad old man decided to stop searching for openings and use force to defeat Xiao Chen in one move, the silent Xiao Chen suddenly took one step forward.

“Roar!”

When Xiao Chen took that step forward, fifty heavenly dragon images appeared behind him, roaring together.

One Dragon Force was five thousand tons of force. With fifty Dragon Force, the commotion caused would be tremendous. This step made the ground quake. Suddenly, the sky and earth shook violently; s.p.a.ce rippled like water.

Thus, the black-clad old man got distracted for an instant. Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Chen dashed forward and threw a punch.

Xiao Chen’s azure robes fluttered as he charged. He was like a hidden True Dragon leaping out of the sea and soaring into the nine heavens.
