Chapter 1514 (Raw 1494): Immortal Statues

“Take care. I have to go first,” Yao Yan said softly, her fatigue written on her face.

Xiao Chen asked, “Where are you going?”

“To Kunlun Mountain. That is the safest place in the entire Kunlun Realm.”

Indeed, that was the safest place in the entire Kunlun Realm. In the previous Demonic Calamities, the place of refuge had always been Kunlun Mountain.

However, this time, perhaps nowhere would be safe in the entire Kunlun Realm.

“Take care!”

Xiao Chen sent off Yao Yan with his eyes and a heavy heart. He had been gone for only a few short days, but the Heavenly Starry Ocean experienced such drastic changes.

Could this matter have anything to do with my trip to the Azure Dragon Palace?

The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more possible it seemed. His trip to the Azure Dragon Palace had occupied half of the Primes of the Kunlun Realm, injuring them, and one even died.

If he had not specifically refused to ask the Cyclic Astral Lord and the other Heavenly Starry Ocean Primes to come, the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean would have fallen already.

Never mind. I’ll go to Heavenly Star Island first.

Right now, the first order of business is to verify the safety of the Dragon’s Gate.

After Xiao Chen got his bearings, the Azure Dragon Divine Wings flapped ferociously, and he traveled fifty kilometers, moving like lightning and strong wind. He was like the legendary roc.

“Whoosh!”

The moment Xiao Chen entered the oceanic world, something strange happened. While carrying the Azure Dragon Palace, he felt the pressure on him increase.

Earlier, the aura he felt had inspired some slight fear. The moment he entered the oceanic world, this aura appeared omnipresent, spread throughout and enveloping the oceanic world.

The pressure forced Xiao Chen down to the sea surface. “Hu chi!” Ten-odd waves immediately soared up into the clouds.

After he landed, flying again became much more difficult.

If Xiao Chen put down the Azure Dragon Palace, he could continue flying. However, that would be pointless. Putting in all that effort was for the sake of moving the Azure Dragon Palace to the Dragon’s Gate.

“I’ll walk if I have to. Given my speed, if I run with all my might, I will not be much slower.”

After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen ran on the sea, still carrying the Azure Dragon Palace.

As he ventured deeper into the oceanic world, the pressure on him slowly increased.

Everywhere he passed, he saw even more oceanic factions fleeing in disarray. Most of the people were in a panic, having given up on their sects, which had been established for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

These people had no choice. After all, even an Immortal Holy Land like the Heavenly Province Academy had been destroyed.

How could they dare to remain in the oceanic world? If they stayed, they might not be able to leave when they wanted to.

Occasionally, Xiao Chen would ask people about the Heavenly Starry Ocean and the Dragon’s Gate.

These people had a rough grasp of the situation in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. However, they had no idea about the Dragon’s Gate. The expressions of several of them changed slightly when they heard that Xiao Chen wanted to go to the Heavenly Starry Ocean.

“The Heavenly Starry Ocean has already turned into a living hell. The Immortal statues are simply killing machines. Everywhere they passed, blood flowed like a river. With just one step, they would kill everyone in a city.”

“Exactly. My friend managed to flee from there. The sky was completely scarlet without any signs of life. Furthermore, the Treasure Master’s people are still going about capturing people.”

“It is a cruel sight to behold. Even the three Immortal Holy Lands with Primes in command will not last for much longer.”

The news that Xiao Chen obtained was bleak. There were even some Martial Emperor cultivators who were scared silly. However, he still insisted on going to the Heavenly Starry Ocean.

Xiao Chen increased his speed, continuing to move forward. After half a day, he finally arrived at the periphery of the Heavenly Starry Ocean.

“Caw! Caw! Caw!”

Sea birds covered the sky and the sun above, even separating from their partners. There were all sorts of ferocious beasts on the surface of the sea, riding the winds and waves, fleeing the Heavenly Starry Ocean.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. People willing to put down and abandon their ideals and ambitions, birds and beasts stampeding, what exactly is going on in the Heavenly Starry Ocean?

Along the way, he saw that many of these cultivators had completely lost the will to resist. They only cared about escaping, not showing any hint of bravery. Was the enemy really that strong?

Heavenly Starry Ocean, show me what exactly is going on!

Being somewhat stubborn, Xiao Chen continued carrying the Azure Dragon Palace and went against the flow of people, facing boundless mockery.

Xiao Chen’s body and the Azure Dragon Palace that he held up exuded a strong Dragon Might.

The ferocious sea beasts, moving like a tidal wave, did not dare to seek trouble for him. Xiao Chen was like a sharp sword piercing forward as the countless ferocious beasts took the initiative to leave a path for him.

The instant Xiao Chen entered the Heavenly Starry Ocean, an offensive, bloody stench, mixed with the smell of seawater, assaulted his nose.

When he looked around, the islands along the periphery of the Heavenly Starry Ocean were desolate, all of their inhabitants having fled.

“Rumble...!”

The sound of intense combat rang out in the distant sky. As lights erupted, the sky appeared like it was being torn, boundless starlight pouring through.

Xiao Chen could vaguely make out a gigantic silhouette. Even from tens of thousands of kilometers away, he could sense a strangely puissant pressure and might.

That was in the direction of the Cyclic Astral Palace. The ones fighting should be the Cyclic Astral Lord and some Immortal statues.

Xiao Chen looked away, remaining silent and showing a sullen expression. The Azure Dragon Divine Wings on his back unfurled again.

The wings flapped ferociously. “Whoosh!” Xiao Chen soared into the air once more, enduring the immense pressure.

Now that Xiao Chen had gotten this far, he was exceptionally anxious. Even if he drained his Veritable Essence Energy, he had to hasten his arrival at Heavenly Star Island.

With one flap, a strong wind blew, and Xiao Chen moved five hundred thousand kilometers like a meteor tearing through the sky. As the wind blew in his ears, his long hair streamed wildly, and his clothes flapped about loudly.

As he casually scanned his surroundings with a rushed glance, he saw that many islands had a fiery light soaring up from them.

The Treasure Master’s people were taking captives from among the rubble. These people were very violent and cruel, stuffing the captives into cages like they were beasts.

There were simply too many captives. Xiao Chen could not save them all even if he wanted to. Furthermore, the Treasure Master’s people did not immediately kill those they captured.

Instead, these captives were caged. This made Xiao Chen think of something—blood sacrifice!

The Demonic God Blood Sacrifice required a large amount of blood from living people and souls. Could the Treasure Master really be connected to the Deep Abyss Demonic World?

Without much time to think, Xiao Chen quickly advanced. Heavenly Star Island finally appeared at the limit of his vision.

Unexpectedly, this sea region was completely silent, with no activity. The bloody stench in the air was also absent.

“Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen landed on the sea and looked around suspiciously. The intense battle that he expected did not happen.

The bloody scene he expected did not appear, either.

“What about the Dragon’s Gate?”

Xiao Chen looked up and used his Heavenly Eye. “Whoosh!” The Heavenly Eye turned into a rhombus-shaped pupil and shot out. After moving five hundred kilometers, it hovered in the air.

The rhombus-shaped eye was like a divine eye, seeing everything below clearly without missing anything.

The Heavenly Eye focused its vision towards Heavenly Star Island. Mo Chen and the other Dragon’s Gate’s people were in the city. Although they all showed anxious expressions, they were all there.

They are fine! The Dragon’s Gate’s people are fine!

Xiao Chen withdrew the Heavenly Eye and felt a wild joy as he rushed towards Heavenly Star Island.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Xiao Chen pushed off with his feet. Every time his foot landed, the enormous downward force kicked up boundless waves, which were visible even from far away, into the sky.

After about seven minutes, Mo Chen and the others at the city discovered a palace flying over on top of the sea.

“That is...the Azure Dragon Palace!” Mo Chen’s eyesight was very good, something trained from reading many books extensively. Just going by the vague silhouette, she managed to recognize the palace.

“Miss Mo, there seems to be a person below the palace.”

Soon, the people in the city all saw this strange sight. Mo Chen’s expression turned startled, and she exclaimed, “It’s Big Brother Xiao! Quickly, get him to stop and not come here.”

The others seemed like they woke up from a dream and shouted. They did not appear excited or happy to see Xiao Chen. Instead, their eyes filled with worry.

Xiao Chen was too far away and could not hear them. By the time he could, he discovered an additional person in front—the Young Treasure Master Yi Ling!

Yi Ling crossed his arms over his chest, smiling. Then, he said, “Azure Dragon King, it has been a long time.”

Xiao Chen quickly looked around and did not see anyone else around him, so he immediately raised his guard.

“There’s no need to check. It is just me. Not bad, you even managed to move the Azure Dragon Palace over. You must want to place it on Heavenly Star Island.”

Yi Ling added with a crafty smile and a mocking expression, “Unfortunately, you will have no such chance.”

An Immortal statue appeared behind Yi Ling, slowly emerging from the sea and rising ever higher.

Soon, the Immortal statue towered over the Azure Dragon Palace, casting a huge shadow that encased Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen’s sharp Spiritual Sense picked up a similar Immortal statue slowly rising behind him as well.
