Talisman Emperor

Time and space were restrained while the dragon shaped pagoda that flowed with divine radiance smashed down.

This was obviously an extraordinary Immortal Artifact, and it was suffused with terrifying divine might. It formed numerous dragon shaped images that swam through the surrounding space, and it emanated oppressive and formidable might.

Swish!

Chen Xi didn’t even spare it a glance before casually slashing a strand of sword qi out.

Bang!

It actually forcefully slashed the dragon shaped pagoda open, causing a rain of light and fragments to shoot towards the surroundings.

The old man in gold robes coughed up a mouthful of blood while his expression turned grim. However, before he could even react, that wisp of sword qi didn’t lose momentum at all and slashed down towards him!

“Junior, don’t you dare!” Another expert from the Zhongli Clan made a move with the intention of rescuing the old man. He withdrew a bronze umbrella that revolved as it soared into the sky, and it emanated a myriad of talismans with the intent of obstructing Chen Xi’s attack.

Bang!

The sword qi blasted onto the bronze umbrella and erupted with blazing specks of light.

This attack had been obstructed indeed, yet the person that obstructed the attack was similarly shaken to the point of coughing up blood, and his figure staggered back.

“Hmph!” Chen Xi grunted coldly. His figure remained on the spot while his fingers seemed like blooming lotus flowers that emanated strands of powerful sword qi, and they tore through space as they shot out explosively.

All of these strands of sword qi were covered in the energy of talismans, and they carried the secrets of Order as they formed into a myriad of profundities that were spread out via the Sword Dao. The swift and fierce might revealed by it seemed even capable of cutting down the sky.

A wave of muffled groans sounded out. Even though the old man in gold robes and the other expert resisted with all their might, the protective treasures in their possession were still penetrated, and they let out shrill cries on the spot as the strands of sword qi annihilated them.

Swish!

A rain of blood sprayed down while corpses fell to the ground, and a nauseating bloody scene spread throughout the surroundings.

All of this occurred in the blink of an eye. It began too quickly and ended too quickly as well, and it was extremely shocking for the others. Many of their expressions had turned grim, and they still didn’t dare believe their eyes.

Isn’t he a bit too formidable? Half-step Immortal Kings are actually worthless and can’t even resist a strike of his!

If they didn’t witness it with their own two eyes, could anyone believe it?

“You’re courting death!”

“You’re going too far! We weren’t willing to make things difficult for you out of consideration that you’re young and ignorant, yet you’ve repeatedly tried to take a yard when given an inch, and you’re even running wild now. Your crimes are simply unforgiveable!” Amongst the forces present in the surroundings, the joint forces of the Zhongli Clan, Wanqi Clan, and Jiang Clan were the most enormous group. After they witnessed all of this, all of those great figures amongst them were furious and revealed killing intent. They were prepared to make a move against Chen Xi.

“Going too far? Most of you aren’t members of my academy. Who invited all of you here? Who gave all of you the courage to destroy my academy and kill my instructors and students?” Chen Xi was cold and indifferent, and every single word he spoke was accompanied by a resolute tone.

After that, he turned around because this wasn’t the only group in the surroundings, and there were also great figures from the Buddha Dimension, Dragon Dimension, Phoenix Clan, Ji Clan, and so on and so forth.

As he looked at these groups, Chen Xi said indifferently, “All of you…intend to fight until the end as well?”

Because of his relationship with Zhao Taici, Ao Jiuhui, Zhao Mengli, Ji Xuanbing, Zhen Lu, and the others, he’d forcefully restrained the killing intent in his heart and intended to give them one last chance.

“Fight? Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself?” said an old man from the Dragon Dimension. He was arrogant and conceited, and his voice revealed a strand of indifferent. Moreover, all the members of the Dragon Dimension standing behind him sneered as well.

“Chen Xi, don’t you dare act arrogantly. If it wasn’t out of consideration for the good relationship you have with Xuanbing, how could we have tolerated you until now?” A man from the Ji Clan spoke and represented the attitude of the Ji Clan.

“Buddha be praised. Destiny emerges and vanishes while karma is born. Now it seems like this isn’t an opportunity for my Buddha Dimension, so we naturally won’t interfere,” said a monk that wore a moon yellow robe and had a benevolent appearance.

“Alright, if you’re able to seize the position of Dean, then my Phoenix Clan will withdraw itself as well, and before this, my Phoenix Clan is unwilling to cause harm to you as well.” A beautiful woman that wore dark green palace robes spoke slowly.

In an instant, four powers made their stands clear, and the Dragon Dimension and Ji Clan weren’t willing to withdraw.

On the other hand, the Buddha Dimension and Phoenix Clan had temporarily chosen to watch the fight. In the end, all of it depended on whether Chen Xi was able to obtain the position of Dean on his own.

Chen Xi nodded when he heard all of this. “Good. At the very least, all of your choices have allowed me to have no worries when I kill.”

“What high-sounding sentiments! Do you really think no one in the world can do anything to you?!” The old man from the Dragon Dimension shouted loudly, and the expressions of many other great figures had turned gloomy.

Chen Xi didn’t speak another word. His entire body was glowing while golden lotuses grew with every step he took, and his battle intent surged as he strode forward. He pressed down towards those forces in a domineering manner, and he intended to stop hesitating and kill his way into Dao Emperor Divine Palace.

“How presumptuous! Leave your life behind!” A young man flashed out with a wooden sword in hand, and it was simple, ordinary, yet emanated an oppressing dignified aura.

Everyone felt delighted in their hearts. This young man was a senior of the Jiang Clan that was at the Immortal King Realm, and he was called Jiang Cangyun. Moreover, he possessed extremely formidable ability. Even though his reputation was inferior to the four great Immortal Kings, he was extremely extraordinary.

Besides that, another grey clothed old man stood out as well. Half his skin was fair and glistened, while the other half was withered and dead. He had a weird appearance that was both withering and flourishing. He held a sword breaker that emanated strands of black and white baleful mist, and it was extremely terrifying. [1]

The old man was a senior from the Zhongli Clan called Zhongli Gui. According to rumor, he’d once tried to attain the Dao and become a god, yet even though he failed on the verge of success in the end, he didn’t perish from it, and his strength was unfathomable like an abyss.

“Two Immortal Kings?” Chen Xi started smiling, and his smile carried a wisp of coldness. He swept the two of them with his gaze and said, “Presently, the gods have ceased to exist, but could it be that all of you Immortal Kings really think that no one in the world can do anything to all of you?”

Everyone was shocked in their hearts. Where did this Chen Xi get such courage from? Indeed, he can easily annihilate existences at the Half-step Immortal King Realm, but could it be that he can even go against Immortal Kings?

Many people faintly admired Chen Xi’s courage. After all, not just anyone in the world dared to disregard the might of an Immortal King like Chen Xi had.

“Your courage is laudable, yet you’re courting death,” said Jiang Cangyun.

“Being dealt with by two Immortal Kings is sufficient for you to die without leaving any regrets behind.” Zhongli Gui spoke indifferently.

Clang!

A blood red sword appeared in Chen Xi’s hand, and it was scarlet red to the point it seemed blood would drip out from it at any moment. Moreover, it was suffused with an ancient killing intent. It was the Dao Calamity Sword.

“This sword has always been left aside and silent in my possession. Until today, I’ve only allowed it to drink the blood of two Immortal Kings. Today, I can allow it to drink until it’s satisfied!”

Bang!

Chen Xi attacked, and he intended to annihilate two Immortal Kings by himself!

The heavens and earth were suddenly dyed blood red while a blood red gale arose, and dark clouds surged. Its murderous aura threw the surroundings into disorder, and the sounds of Fiendgods crying and god roaring furiously before their death could be faintly heard.

Om!

An expanse of sword images arose in space, and they transformed into the sun, moon, and stars as Jiang Cangyun took the initiative to launch the first attack.

At the same time, Zhongli Gui’s sword breaker glowed before black and white qi arose from it. The qi transformed into an unfathomable space-time black hole that devoured the surroundings, and it intended to swallow Chen Xi as well.

The two Immortal Kings had attacked. The moment they chose was so precise and their cooperation was so tacit that it was already flawless. Even if it was an Immortal King in Chen Xi’s position, it would be impossible to dodge these attacks, let alone a Half-step Immortal King.

Swish!

Chen Xi didn’t dodge at all, and he met these attacks head-on. In other words, he’d never thought of dodging!

The blood red sword surged through the sky while suffused with boundless brilliant sword qi.

Bang!

It wasn’t just the sun, moon, and stars that were shattered, even the space-time blackhole was slashed into two.

With a single strike, he’d actually destroyed the joint attacks of two Immortal Kings!

Swoosh!

At practically the exact same time, Chen Xi’s figure flashed, and moved like a flying Roc as he actually charged down towards the side.

Shit!The expressions of many people in the surroundings turned grim, and they rapidly dodged in succession because Chen Xi was obviously coming for them.

In other words, at this moment, he’d already decided to carry out a slaughter, and he wasn’t just going against the two Immortal Kings, he even intended to seize this opportunity to kill the others because he intended to throw the situation into chaos!

Such a domineering attitude shocked many people in the surroundings once more, and it exceeded their imagination.

Pu!

At the instant Chen Xi attacked, the expression of a short and fat middle aged man turned grim. He originally intended to dodge, yet it was too late, and he was enveloped by a sword veil that sliced him into pieces, causing blood to spray towards the surroundings.

The short and fat middle aged man was precisely the head instructor of the Pill Reserve, Zuoqiu Sheng!

Blood sprayed into the surroundings, and Zuoqiu Sheng’s shrill cry was still drifting through the air, yet he’d already been annihilated. All of this truly occurred too quickly, and Chen Xi’s combat strength was so formidable that it exceeded their imagination.

In just a single move, he hadn’t just clashed head-on with two Immortal Kings, and he’d even seized the opportunity to kill Zuoqiu Sheng. Could any other Half-step Immortal King be able to accomplish this?

“Bastard! Die!” Jiang Cangyun’s face sank, and he pursued Chen Xi while holding the wooden sword in his hand. The sword insight from it was powerful like the void, and it transformed into all sorts of phenomena as it smashed down towards Chen Xi from all directions.

Bang!

Chen Xi executed a backhanded sword strike. A bloody glow shot into the sky and resisted this attack, whereas his entire body was blasted flying.

However, Chen Xi seized this opportunity to flash into space.

In the next instant, a myriad of sword formations were created in space, and they bloomed like numerous lotus flowers made from sword formations. They were suffused with dense talismans, and they were dazzling and resplendent as they smashed down towards the forces of the Zhongli Clan, Wanqi Clan, and Jiang Clan.

“Retreat!” The expressions of everyone turned pale because the might of these sword formations was too formidable, and it was utterly not something that Half-step Immortal Kings could resist.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

But in the end, there were still a few people that were unable to flee in time, and they were annihilated by the joint forces of those myriad of sword formations. They were minced into mush, and it was an extremely horrifying sight.

In the distance, Mu Rongtian and all the others from the Phoenix Clan and Buddha Dimension were terrified by this sight, and they gasped. They were shocked by the terrifying combat strength that Chen Xi revealed.

“Don’t you dare!” Jiang Cangyun charged over once more, and his expression was already extremely gloomy. In the two successive collisions he had with Chen Xi, not only was he unable to kill Chen Xi, Chen Xi had seized the opportunity instead to kill quite a few others. This caused him to be embarrassed, and he was infuriated to the extreme.

Rumble!

The wooden sword in his hand flashed through the sky and swept out without end. It smashed down like a lofty divine mountain, and even though it seemed extremely ordinary, it revealed a terrifying aura capable of crushing the ages and destroying the world.

Chen Xi was shocked, yet he wasn’t afraid. Moreover, battle intent surged in his heart instead.

He stopped pursuing those fleeing Half-step Immortal Kings and leaped up, and then the Dao Calamity sword swept out furiously like a bloody river.

Under the might of this strike, time and space were destroyed while the world was thrown into disorder, and then a blood colored purgatory of the sword appeared. The purgatory was a cage of the Sword Dao, and the cage was a talisman formation!

Rumble!

Their attacks collided and erupted with boundless might that swept through the world and enveloped the entire square.

The impetus of this collision was too terrifying, and it was only restrained after it caused the restrictions of the Dao Emperor Divine Palace to activate itself. Only in this way were the buildings in the vicinity spared from being affected by this collision.

Otherwise, merely this collision would probably be able to destroy the entirety of Dao Emperor Academy!

Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

Under the shocked gazes of everyone in the surroundings, Jiang Cangyun was actually struck to the point of staggering back in the sky. Moreover, with every single step back he took, space collapsed and shattered into pieces while his countenance turned slightly paler.

After he took an entire seven steps back, a strand of golden blood couldn’t help but seep out from the corner of his mouth!
