<h4>Chapter 1000: Completely Revealing Trump Cards</h4>


    Ordinarily, it would be rare for Xie Zixuan, Xing Jue, and Di Wuque to be together. For them to cooperate to deal with someone of the same generation would be even more impossible.


    However, on this very day, on this tform, this impossible scene appeared before everyone’s eyes.


    Xiao Chen’s chances at victory were pitifully low. Even so, no one dared to say that he would definitely lose. If this person who had created so many miracles on this path here really won, then he would be even more excellent than the Azure Emperor when the Azure Emperor was young.


    “Don’t snatch this from me. I can handle this fellow alone. He is just a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, not someone I would respect. To think he was so arrogant, daring me to say that I’m not convinced. Well, I shall say it now: I’m not convinced!”


    Xie Zixuan smiled coldly and took the initiative to charge over. He was a very proud person. When he saw Xiao Chen reveal his cultivation, he thought that Xiao Chen had already exposed all his trump cards.


    Xie Zixuan felt that this was nothing and believed that he could handle this alone.


    The others were happy to let Xie Zixuan go first, to probe Xiao Chen. However, if they saw a chance, they would definitely deal Xiao Chen a killing blow when they could.


    “Zeng! Zeng! Zeng!”


    The eight sabers behind Xie Zixuan moved around. He took eight steps, each step leaving behind a ghostly image, creating a clone. When he was done, it was hard to differentiate the real one from the fakes.


    The eight ghostly image clones used different Saber Techniques. However, they were linked together as ghostly sounds howled endlessly.


    The tform seemed to transform into a new world where a Ghost God was descending. ck Qi surged as the might of a Ghost God spread out.


    As ghostly sounds howled, ck light spread out, shaking everyone’s hearts.


    Up in the sky, Di Wuque, who was standing on the Deities’ Nation image, frowned slightly. “His Avici Saber Technique has reached Small Perfection. No wonder he is so confident.”


    When Xie Zixuan used this Saber Technique, Di Wuque was not the only one whose expression changed; the other invited cultivators were all shocked as well.


    The Avici Saber Technique was aprehensive set of Martial Techniques passed down in the Ghost Race. Even the famous Ghost Shadow Step was just a part of it.


    Xiao Chen already knew that Xie Zixuan practiced the Avici Saber Technique, so he was not shocked. He held his saber’s hilt with his right hand and carefully stared at the eight clones. However, he did not pay much attention to the Avici Hell that Xie Zixuan was summoning out.


    As the ck Qi covered the entire tform, Death Qi surged out endlessly from the center. Xie Zixuan’s eight ghostly image clones already looked very solid. They appeared to be on the verge of holding Xiao Chen down and killing him immediately.


    In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen squinted and fixed his gaze on one of the clones. Then, he drew his Lunar Shadow Saber with his right hand at lightning speed. His entire being turned into a purple saber light as he shed out.


    Thunder roared, and the might of the saber gathered.


    A ‘dang’ sounded. With one saber strike, Xiao Chen knocked away the weapon of that particr clone.


    The saber light continued shing. Purple electricity crackled endlessly as it gave off light. Within three breaths, the shesyered over one another in the air, leaving behind thousands of saber light afterimages.


    Xiao Chen simply moved too fast. That clone could not deal with him in time. He stabbed that clone, and that clone vomited blood as it went flying back.


    The seven other clones that rushed over to help shattered one after another, turning into ck light and merging back into Xie Zixuan’s body.


    The Avici Hell that almost finished forming likewise shattered. The Death Qi dissipated into countless clumps of light.


    “That is impossible! How did you find my true body!”


    Xie Zixuan vomited another mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.


    The disparity between the two’s Mental Energies was too much. As long as there was even a tiny difference, Xiao Chen would be able to differentiate the real from the fake using his Spiritual Sense; doing so was not difficult for him. Unfortunately for Xie Zixuan, he had been so confident earlier, thinking that he would not lose.


    Naturally, Xiao Chen would not enlighten him about this.


    Spring Thunder roared, and everything woke up from hibernation.


    Xiao Chen turned around and hacked out with his saber. Peach blossoms bloomed for fifty kilometers around. A fragrance filled the air as the petals flew about everywhere. This saber manifested a boundless lifeforce as it swept away all the Death Qi around and chopped towards Xie Zixuan.


    However, just as the saber light was about to strike Xie Zixuan, there was a sh of starlight. Fu Hongyao quickly charged over, holding the Lunar Astral Banner in her hand.


    Xing Jue stretched out his hand, and a huge ax appeared in it. This huge ax twirled around his fingers, spinning like the wind and looking incredibly berserk.


    When the light on the huge ax reached its peak, Xing Jue leaped up and chopped down towards Xiao Chen’s head.


    A sound came from the Deities’ Nation image above. Di Wuque looked dignified and solemn as he formed hand seals, executing Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign, World Eliminating Imprint. The First Heaven…Second Heaven…Third Heaven…all the way until the Ny-ninth Heaven appeared.


    The Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign stood tall like a mountain. As it shouted, it sent out the World Eliminating Imprint at Xiao Chen.


    Although Xie Zixuan said that he wanted to fight alone and did not want anyone to interfere, Xiao Chen remained wary. How could he really not put some effort into monitoring these three people?


    The moment these threeunched their onught, Xiao Chen noticed them. He withdrew his strike and moved back. First, he dodged Fu Hongyao’s Lunar Astral Banner, which contained a boundless cold light as it attacked.


    The moment Xiao Chen’s leg shifted a step back, a one-kilometer-tall ice pir emanating overwhelming cold Qi soared up where he previously stood.


    If Xiao Chen had been one step slower, the extreme cold Astral Energy from the moon would have been able to freeze even his soul and crush it into ice fragments.


    The moment Xiao Chen moved back, Xing Jue’s huge ax descended towards his head. There was already no time or room to dodge.


    Since Xiao Chen could not dodge it or deflect it, then he would break it with force.


    Xiao Chen became one with his saber. His long hair spread out as he circted all the Law Energy in his body. Bright purple rings of lights appeared behind him, reaching a horrifying number of ten thousand.


    As he swung his saber, it left behind a long trail of purple electric light that looked like a dragon, deeply imprinting itself in space. At this moment, it was like time froze.


    Even after a hundred years—a thousand years—this scene at this moment would probably still be engraved in everyone’s memories, never to be forgotten.


    As Xing Jue descended from high above, chopping down with his huge ax and stored-up energy, it seemed like his blow could nearly tear space, splitting the sky.


    The one above naturally held the advantage. Instead of trying to defend, Xiao Chen wanted to sh head-on, breaking the attack with force. This was simply suicide.


    When saber and ax collided, there was a loud ‘ng.’ Even though Xiao Chen movedter, he knocked back Xing Jue, who was charging over ferociously.


    A loud sound echoed as the stone tform shattered. Countless huge rocks soared into the air behind Xiao Chen.


    Even after knocking away Xing Jue with one attack, Xiao Chen did not rx at all. He opened his mouth and burned his Magic Energy, executing Dragon Tone Art.


    A gigantic dragon hidden in the clouds peeked out a ginormous head. Then, it roared together with Xiao Chen.


    This was the voice of a True Dragon, containing the might of a True Dragon.


    The World Eliminating Imprint that Di Wuque formed immediately shattered. Theyers of heaven shattered as well. Xiao Chen broke the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign’s image once again.


    While Di Wuque had improved, Xiao Chen had not stagnated, either. He was at the peak of the Yuanying Stage, and his Magic Energy saturated his sea of consciousness. It was much vaster and mightier than before.


    Quickly dodging Fu Hongyao’s attack, forcefully knocking away Xing Jue, and breaking Di Wuque’s Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign, World Eliminating Imprint with a roar, all this happened in the time it took for a spark to fly, so fast that most failed to clearly see what he did.


    Xiao Chen broke all the attacks that the three suddenlyunched while working together.


    Huge rocks soared up and Dragon Might spread. Divine light and starlight filled the ce. Xiao Chen dashed forward, charging at Xie Zixuan, who was getting to his feet.


    The white figure holding the Lunar Shadow Saber that gave off a sharp cold light revealed a stern expression. Then, he nimbly weaved through the huge rocks.


    “Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang!”


    The wind blew Xiao Chen’s hair everywhere. In that instant, the sound of countless sabers along with a boundless saber intent reverberated everywhere, lingering for a long time.


    This sight startled Xie Zixuan, who had just gotten up. At first, he thought he was seeing things; it looked a True Dragon was charging at him. By the time he reacted, Xiao Chen was already before him. When Xiao Chen chopped out, fifty kilometers of peach blossoms appeared. The flowers were like sabers as they flew around, moving endlessly.


    With one chop, ten thousand flowers bloomed. Spring thunder roared incessantly, bringing out a boundless lifeforce that firmly countered Xie Zixuan’s Death Qi.


    In an instant, the two exchanged a thousand attacks. The battle was so fast, it dazzled everyone’s eyes. The two’s figures moved rapidly in the midst of flower petals; saber Qi shot everywhere.


    After another hundred moves, ten saber wounds had appeared on Xiao Chen’s body, so deep that bones were visible. ck Qi lingered on them, and blood flowed out continuously.


    However, Xie Zixuan was thoroughly riddled with saber wounds that would not stop bleeding, and hisplexion turned ashen. He looked at Xiao Chen with some horror and said in a quivering voice, “You…you…you are really ruthless!”


    The people watching all felt fear in their hearts; cold sweat dripped down their backs. This was an exchange where Xiao Chen risked getting cut, yet even if he got cut, he would not stop. If you cut me once, I’ll cut you ten times in return.


    Thus, Xiao Chen ended up with ten saber wounds while Xie Zixuan had a hundred saber wounds.


    Seeing the fallen Xie Zixuan, Xiao Chen ignored him. If I was not ruthless, how could I deprive you of yourbat prowess in such a short time?


    One down! Xiao Chen counted in his heart. He turned around, and his figure shed, dodging yet another of Fu Hongyao’s attacks. Hundreds of one-kilometer-tall ice pirs filled the shattered tform by now.


    Fu Hongyao had created all of these ice pirs while Xiao Chen fought with Xie Zixuan. She hadunched many attacks at Xiao Chen then, but he dodged them all.


    If not for Fu Hongyao’s harassment, Xiao Chen would have been able to get away with just half the wounds he currently had.


    When Xiao Chen was fighting Xie Zixuan, Di Wuque and Xing Jue had not taken that opportunity tounch sneak attacks.


    Xing Jue’s five fingers moved quickly, making his one-meter-long ax dance around nimbly on his fingers. As the huge ax spun, strong winds blew towards him from all directions.


    At first, the winds were formless and without color. Slowly, they gained something strange, turning into a ck gale of death filled with the howling of ghosts.


    Di Wuque closed his eyes and sat on the Deities’ Nation image. Songs of praises transformed into divine light that soared into the sky, turning his hair crystalline. His handsome face looked perfect and divine.


    “Bang!”


    A cold light shed and a cold wind blew. With the dazzling starlight, Xiao Chen did not even have to guess to know that this was Fu Hongyao’s killing move.


    Xiao Chen saw the Astral Banner unfurl, appearing pitch-dark like night, like the vast night sky flying towards him.


    In the night scene, there was one star flickering coldly. This was the ancient Lunar Star.


    Xiao Chen’s gaze sank. There was really no end to this woman. He casually stuck the Lunar Shadow Saber down and formed hand seals. The chessboard of fate appeared above his head as time and space interwove with each other. Starlight shed among them.


    The trajectory of each star was determined by the Heavenly Dao. If the chessboard of fate was used to move them, it would create chaos in fate—a Starry Heaven Storm!


    Xiao Chen moved ten stars and formed an intense ck storm to sh with the night scene of this Astral Banner in the air.
