<h4>Chapter 841: Deity Race Combination Martial Technique</h4>


    Xiao Chen calmly ced his right hand on his saber’s hilt. Then he prepared to execute the Azure Emperor’s Drawing the Saber. The middle-aged swordsman instantly feltpletely exposed, unable to hide.


    Clearly, Xiao Chen was the one surrounded by seventy-two sword images. However, when he ced his right hand on the saber hilt, the situation seemed to reverse.


    The middle-aged swordsman’s heart sank, and his expression changed drastically. Due to his instinct as a swordsman, he decisively aborted his move and retreated. The seventy-two sword images merged back together as his figure shed.


    However, the Azure Wolf Swordsman, who had leaped forward with the middle-aged swordsman, was not as fortunate. The bodies of the two brushed by each other. However, one moved forward and the other, backward.


    Electric light shed, and the long, slender Lunar Shadow Saber attacked from an angle that the Azure Wolf Swordsman did not expect at all.


    The saber light struck the Azure Wolf Swordsman’s side, and strong lightning-attributed energy exploded, sending him flying. He crashed into a wall of the hall like a fired cannonball.


    In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen had drawn his saber at an incredible speed. Of the two swordsmen, one got forced back while the other got knocked back.


    “Deities’ Nation, Eternal Spear!”


    “Deities’ Nation, Inextinguishable Sword!”


    “Deities’ Nation, Divine Halberd!”


    The three Deity Race old men worked together to execute the Deity Racebination Martial Technique that Xiao Chen had seen before. Golden light glistened behind them, materializing a boundless sea with a nation of deities rising from it.


    Xiao Chen did not dare to underestimate this move. He immediately took out his greatest trump card. With lightning-quick speed, he attacked before this Martial Techniquebined wlessly.


    “Taiji Yinyang me Diagram!”


    The Purple Thunder True Fire and Lunar True me shot out of Xiao Chen’s eyes and chased each other. They rapidly formed a diagram. As the diagram spun, it seemed to contain a realm within it.


    The me diagram that suddenly appeared pressed forward quickly with great might.


    “Bang! Bang! Bang!” Three explosions resounded. The three weapons infused with divine light burst into motes of light and scattered. However, the might of the me diagram did not diminish.


    Xiao Chen thrust his hand out, and the Taiji Yinyang me Diagram flew forward at an even faster speed. Then it crashed into the three. The golden sea they materialized behind them surged, roaring thunderously as it tried to resist.


    However, the nation of deities sank into the sea eventually, never to rise again. The sea disappeared, and the three Deity Race old men all vomited a mouthful of blood each.


    The Taiji Yinyang me Diagram continued pushing forward and crushed the three against a wall, inflicting additional grievous injuries on them.


    Xiao Chen used absolute force. He showed no pity or fear as he suppressed these three, disying total confidence in his own strength.


    A light shed, and the two mes returned to Xiao Chen’s eyes.


    Two resonant sword hums sounded. The middle-aged swordsman and the Azure Wolf Swordsman charged over once again.


    “Double Dragons ying with Pearl! Dazzling the eyes with no regrets!”


    A bright light appeared at the tip of Xiao Chen’s saber. This light then disappeared into the middle-aged swordsman’s body and formed a brilliant clump on his chest.


    Two dragon-shaped saber Qi surged out from the long, slender saber, charging towards the middle-aged swordsman.


    Even a Martial Emperor could only sh head-on with this Double Dragons ying with Pearl. This move would suffice to keep the middle-aged swordsman flustered for a long time.


    After dealing with this harder-to-handle middle-aged swordsman, Xiao Chen brandished his saber and fought head-on with the Azure Wolf Swordsman. Saber and sword shed, sprinkling sparks everywhere, creating a dazzling spectacle.


    When the many cultivators, here to fish in troubled waters, saw that Xiao Chen could not free himself from battle, joy filled them. They all charged together, flying to the stone tform.


    Xiao Chen nced backwards, and a fierce purple me surged in his right eye and spewed out to form a vast sea of mes. The ferocious Purple Thunder True Fire instantly shot towards the frontmost cultivators and set them aze.


    “Boom!”


    The entire pack of burning people immediately cried out miserably. They threw themselves to the ground and rolled around in agony, trying all sorts of ways to extinguish the mes.


    The fire was savage. The electricity it contained crackled nonstop, forcing the cultivators back.


    When the three Merfolk Race cultivators saw this fire, their eyes immediately lit up with extreme excitement.


    You haven’t gone to retrieve the sword yet? How much longer are you going to wait?!


    When Xiao Chen saw the three stunned people, he could not help feeling indignant. The Purple Thunder True Fire could not block this bunch of people for long. Once that middle-aged swordsman shook off the Double Dragons ying with Pearl, they would not be able to obtain the sword.


    This moment was their best chance to get the sword. Xiao Chen could not understand why they did not take action.


    Princess Yao Yan was the first toe to her senses. She moved quickly, and while everyone was distracted, she ced the sword within her spatial ring without any difficulty.


    Xiao Chen released his bated breath and withdrew the Purple Thunder True Fire. Then he shoved back the Azure Wolf Swordsman and drifted down to the stone tform.


    When everyone saw that empty stone tform, the others recovered their wits. They suddenly realized that Xiao Chen had been working with the Merfolk Race. He had behaved in such a high-profile manner only to attract everyone’s attention.


    Xiao Chen sheathed his saber, and the sharpness in his eyes faded away. He looked around and smiled faintly. “The treasure has an owner already. There is no need to continue fighting.”


    The middle-aged swordsman finally dealt with Double Dragons ying with Pearl. He was now in a sorry state as he wiped the blood from his mouth and stared daggers at Xiao Chen. Then, his figure shed, entering the transportation formation.


    The Azure Wolf Swordsman appeared very depressed. He felt like he got yed in front of so many people, humiliated by Xiao Chen.


    As for the three Deity Race old men, they already left this ce long ago. After suffering defeat in one move at Xiao Chen’s hands, they were too embarrassed to remain.


    The many cultivators who wanted to fish in troubled waters all nced at Xiao Chen in fear before they dashed into the transportation formation leading to the next level.


    Now, only Xiao Chen and the three Merfolk Race cultivators remained in the hall.


    Princess Yao Yan walked over slowly with a blue headscarf in her hand. Then she proffered it, saying, “I cannot thank you enough for this great favor. This headscarf is not much of a Secret Treasure. However, it has the effect of refreshing the mind. I hope Young Master Xiao will ept it.”


    Xiao Chen took the headscarf and felt a cooling sensation spread throughout his body, sweeping his earlier fatigue away. His body felt flush with energy.


    Evidently, this headscarf was not as ordinary as Yao Yan said. Xiao Chen carefully put it on, and after muttering to himself, he said, “If fate dictates, we will meet again. Goodbye!”


    After Xiao Chen disappeared into the transportation formation, Mu Yun could not help asking, “Your Highness, why did you not tell him? He clearly used the Purple Thunder True Fire earlier. That is much stronger than this Extreme Thunder Sword. If he is willing to help, we could eliminate the hidden danger of the Merfolk Race.”


    Mu Lei nodded as well and said, “It seems to me that this Xiao Chen is not cold-blooded or emotionless. For the sake of some favor from ten thousand years ago, he was even willing to help. He might be willing to help us all the way.”


    A bitter look shed in Yao Yan’s blue eyes. She smiled faintly and said, “Let it be. With the Extreme Thunder Sword, we should be able to solve the problem already, more or less. It has already been ten thousand years. Even I felt embarrassed to say it. How could I have the gall to ask for more?”


    This matter was just something done in passing. Furthermore, it even helped to pay off a debt of gratitude of his ancestor. Thus, Xiao Chen actually did not take it to heart. As for whether the other party spoke truthfully or not, he believed her for the time being.


    ---


    In the second floor of the Treasury Hall, there were now many rooms with Secret Treasures yet to be taken away, so Xiao Chen was in no rush to continue advancing.


    His purpose ining to the Treasury Hall was not the same as the others’, which focused on the King Grade Secret Treasures. If possible, he would rather get one or two high-quality Sage Grade Secret Treasures well-suited to him.


    Firstly, the King Grade Secret Treasures were hard to obtain. Secondly, even after he secured them, his cultivation would limit him. He would find it hard to refine thempletely and would not be able to bring out their full effect.


    There was one more very important reason. Perhaps after he got the King Grade Secret Treasures, he might discover them to be simr to the Reincarnation Lamp, Secret Treasures with only supplementary purposes.


    What Xiao Chen needed was a Secret Treasure that wouldplement his fighting style. For example, his currently bare handscked a pair of gloves that could increase his attacking speed.


    After he advanced to Superior Grade Martial Monarch, his previous gloves did not seem to have much of an effect anymore. So they hadin abandoned in the Universe Ring for a long time.


    The shoes that he wore no longer had the effect of increasing his speed, which was somewhat unfortunate as Leng Yue had spent a lot of effort to reforge these Secret Treasures.


    asionally, the blue headscarf on his forehead would automatically send out cooling energy. As it spread through his body, it felt veryfortable.


    Under the influence of the headscarf, the originally somewhat impatient Xiao Chen became utterlyposed like calm autumn waters.


    He could now get rid of all the distracting thoughts and perceive his desires more thoroughly.


    If Xiao Chen still could not figure out that this headscarf was a supreme treasure, he would be an idiot.


    When I look at this headscarf, for some reason it seems to resemble the Sea Monarch Headscarf a little. Could the treasures of the Sea Monarch have been passed down?


    Ao Jiao examined the blue headscarf on Xiao Chen’s forehead and tried to assess it in fine detail.


    “Bang!”


    Xiao Chen, who was currently in a stone room, sheathed his saber. Then he punched thebat puppet guarding the ce. The final blow shattered thebat puppet into tiny pieces.


    He opened a wooden box in the stone room and took a look. He was somewhat disappointed to find that it held a sword filled with spirituality.


    After Xiao Chen came out of the room, he had some free time. He asked, “What exactly is the Sea Monarch Headscarf?”


    Legend has it that the Sea Monarch had a horrible temper. He was aplete tyrant. Once, he got angry, and the oceans of the entire Kunlun Realm surged up in high waves. The waves soared to the sky, and heavy rain fell for days. Several unfortunate creatures died in this incident.


    For the sake of helping him control his temper, his daughter spent a lot of effort wandering the forbiddennds at the bottom of the sea. Then, using what she found and learned, she knitted him a headscarf. Every time his temper red up, he would wear it, which resulted in the lives of several creatures being spared.


    Xiao Chen felt extremely surprised. If this headscarf really was the Sea Monarch Headscarf, then what he had done earlier would not be worthy of such a reward.


    At first, he had taken it for an ordinary headscarf, so he epted it without any reservations.


    Now that he thought about it, the Merfolk Race had ruled the Chaotic Demonic Sea for many years. How could the Merfolk Race princess be so casual about a thank-you gift?


    As Xiao Chen searched for a Secret Treasure he needed in every room, he chatted with Ao Jiao about the matters of the sea. So he did not feel too bored.


    Ten thousand years ago, the Sea Monarch Pce was strong and mighty. The Sea Monarch was frighteningly strong. He frequently attacked the continent and even aspired to rule thend. The Azure Emperor entered the ocean to fight with him thrice before he finally defeated the Sea Monarch. After that, he brought over the human factions and fought for many years. Finally, they swept away all the remnant forces of the Sea Monarch Pce.


    When Ao Jiao shared this story, Xiao Chen got an even better sense of the Azure Emperor’s strength. Traveling everywhere unhindered, unmatched no matter where he went. His title of strongest Sovereign Martial Emperor since the Ancient Era was well deserved.
