Chapter 1491: Tyrannical Deity Sovereign

After saying goodbye to Ying Zongtian, Xiao Chen brought Mo Chen back to the bloody graveyard.

When Xiao Chen looked at the dense scarlet clouds that lingered all year round in the sky, he frowned slightly, at a loss as to what to do.

It was very difficult to eliminate sins by other means aside from purification. The other means had a problem completely eliminating sins.

Unfortunately, the cultivators in the Kunlun Realm who encountered fortuitous encounters and learn methods of purification would find it hard to purify such a vast amount of sin.

The one who was truly capable of that was still the Buddhist sect's K?itigarbha Bodhisattva. The Buddhists were experts at doing this in the first place. Furthermore, the K?itigarbha Bodhisattva was a peak high-ranking monk of an ancient Buddhist sect.

This was really problematic. Xiao Chen was at his wit's end, unable to figure out a good solution. Even Ying Zongtian, a Prime, did not have any ideas. What could Xiao Chen do?

"Mo Chen, do you know a method for eliminating these sins?" Xiao Chen asked as he looked at the scarlet clouds.

Mo Chen shook her head. Even with her extensive knowledge, she did not know of any method to eliminate such a vast amount of sins.

However, Mo Chen took note in her heart. After she returned, she would definitely look up ancient texts on sin, to see if she could help Xiao Chen solve this difficult problem.

Xiao Chen was merely casually asking. When he saw the situation, he said softly, "Let's go back."

Two days later, the Dragon's Gate's banquet took place as scheduled.

The location was at the plaza where the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony took place. The honored guests were the same group of people, and all of the Dragon's Gate Elders were there without exception.

The story was still the same, just that the Azure Dragon King was now extraordinary. Hence, the situation was no longer the same as before.

Many still remembered the day when the Dragon's Gate was reestablished. The various Holy Lands—whether covertly or overtly—came to cause trouble and stop the ceremony.

On that day, the white-clad Azure Dragon King faced the mockery of ten-odd Elders of Holy Lands and Noble Clans alone. The Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony nearly did not come to completion.

Now, there was a scene similar to that day, with nearly the same people showing up.

However, during the Dragon's Gate's banquet this time, these people smiled and greeted Xiao Chen, congratulating him. The situation was now utterly different.

Xiao Chen was rather open-minded and did not care too much. Many of these sects had helped him during his Great Tribulation of wind and fire.

The conflicts of the past did not need to be taken seriously. After all, there was no deep-seated grudge.

When noon arrived, Xiao Chen started to speak about the Dao.

The Holy Masters and Clan Heads of various places, as well as many famous people of prestige, had come for this, personally making a trip over.

Seeing that Xiao Chen was broaching the main topic, they all showed joyful expressions. Then, they pricked up their ears in anticipation.

Xiao Chen sat in the middle of the large hall. Mo Chen, Yue Bingyun, and many of the Dragon's Gate Elders sat behind him. Tables and chairs lined the left and right, all filled with major characters.

The Holy Master of the Heavenly Province Academy, the pretty Paradise Master of the Yinyang Paradise, and the many Clan Heads of ancient Noble Clans were here. Nearly all the major characters who ruled their own region in the Heavenly Starry Ocean were present.

After Xiao Chen calmed his emotions, he said, "With regard to Great Dao Energy, I'm a beginner myself and do not understand that much. All I can do is speak about what I know and have comprehended. I hope everyone will not be disappointed."

"Azure Dragon King, you are too humble. Since the Ancient Era, you are the first cultivator to grasp a Dao. You proved that Great Dao Energy is not just something of the legends. You already have plenty to be proud of; you don't have to be humble."

The Heavenly Province Academy's Holy Master responded with a faint smile, speaking both the truth and out of respect for Xiao Chen.

What both sides said were true. Xiao Chen was merely just initiated, but compared to these Holy Masters, he was much stronger.

Xiao Chen did not bother with further pleasantries and was about to start speaking about the Dao. However, just then, three figures suddenly appeared in the sky and quickly advanced. Their strong auras tyrannically knocked away everything in their path.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The three figures in the sky earlier entered the large hall without an invitation in the blink of an eye.

The ones who came were the three giants of the Deity Dao Union: the East Mountain Ghost Monarch, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.

Xiao Chen's heart sank. He felt some rage, but his expression did not change.

However, the expressions of the many honored guests changed greatly. Every one of the three giants was a Prime. This was especially so for the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign. Now, he was publicly recognized as the strongest person in the Kunlun Realm.

"Senior Deity Sovereign!"

All the seated honored guests quickly stood up and greeted the Deity Sovereign.

This was the respect for the strong, also the fear for the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign. The atmosphere immediately turned strange.

Who could have thought that the banquet for the Dragon's Gate's reconstruction would attract all three Primes of the Deity Dao Union to come over?

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign exuded a strong aura and showed a faint smile on his face. As he looked at Xiao Chen, he said, "Little Brother Xiao Chen, I hope that you don't mind that we came uninvited."

Xiao Chen countered indifferently, "What if I do mind? We do not welcome anyone from the Deity Dao Union here."

Some people could be forgiven. However, there were some that could never be forgiven. The three before Xiao Chen were the latter!

Xiao Chen made a clear distinction between those two types, not even willing to hide the dislike in his heart. The moment he said that, the atmosphere turned much tenser.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign smiled faintly and said, "Little Brother Xiao Chen, why the need to be so angry? Isn't it just speaking about the Dao? Can you not just add three chairs?"

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God said coldly, "Brat, don't be foolish. Do you really think that you are a major character that can sit equally with us? It is your honor that the Deity Sovereign is giving you face."

Xiao Chen smiled. "It is an honor for the dogs that choose to follow him. Not for me, Xiao Chen!"

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God's face turned black. "You dare to scold me?"

A berserk aura burst out from the Heaven Punishing Corpse God. The entire hall started shaking as the overwhelming aura spread out, startling all the honored guests.

Fear surged in their hearts. This aura was the rage of a Prime; no one dared to be on the receiving end of it.

"That's right. I am scolding you."

Xiao Chen smiled calmly. Then, he casually took one step forward and blocked the other party's aura entirely, not letting any of the Dragon's Gate's people feel it.

Calm and not flustered, angered but not rash, this was the current Xiao Chen.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign did not stop smiling. He stretched out his hand and stopped the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, who was about to attack. Then, he said, "Little Brother Xiao Chen, since you do not welcome us, we will leave, then.

"However, before we leave, there is an account we need to settle first."

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign withdrew his smile. He was finally getting around to his true purpose in coming here.

"There are many accounts to settle between you and me. If you really want to settle them, will we be able to finish doing so?"

Xiao Chen revealed a cold smile on his face. Although he could not defeat a Prime, there was no need for him to show fear of them.

In the worst case, he would just go down together with them. Both sides would end up suffering. Hence, there was no need to be polite to the other party.

Furthermore, this was the Dragon's Gate's banquet. The other party coming uninvited like this was already being very rude to Xiao Chen.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign ignored that and continued, "The Azure Dragon King has always been a bold person, daring to admit to whatever he did. Could it be that you do not want to admit to this? Let me ask you this: are you acknowledging that you are the Shadowless Saber Sovereign?"

Xiao Chen's heart sank. Since he did not know what the other party was planning, he remained silent.

"Your not saying anything is tacit admission. Back then, you used the identity of the Shadowless Saber Sovereign to injure the Divine Son severely. We have to settle that account properly today."

When Xiao Chen heard this, he smiled coldly to himself. "That's right. I am indeed the Shadowless Saber Sovereign. I am also the one who injured Di Wuque.

"However, that was due to the inadequacy of his own skills. In any case, you are probably here to cause trouble and will resort to any excuse, no matter what. Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, I'll ask you directly: what exactly do you want? Just be straightforward and don't beat around the bush, making things so complicated."

The other party was here to cause trouble in the first place. He would not stop without achieving his purpose. The so-called settling of accounts was merely an excuse.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said, "This Sovereign is not as unreasonable as you think. Back then, you landed a saber strike on the Divine Son. Today, you have to receive three palm strikes from me. After that, this account is considered settled."

His saying this immediately set the place abuzz. Was the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign not being too much of a bully?

After all, he was currently the strongest person in the Kunlun Realm, someone who became famous long ago, yet he wanted a junior to receive three palm strikes from him.

"Deity Sovereign, isn't this somewhat excessive? That is an issue between youths. Now, the Divine Son is fine; nothing happened to him. Just leave it be," the Heavenly Province Academy's Holy Master advised, unable to just keep watching.

"Interesting. He can explain the Dao to you, but he cannot receive three palm strikes from the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign? Since you want to give your advice and help, how about you receive the Deity Sovereign's three palm strikes instead?" the East Mountain Ghost Monarch, who had been silent, suddenly said, immediately countering the Heavenly Province Academy's Holy Master's words.

This deterred the next person who wanted to give some advice from speaking up, out of fear of the other party's strength.

The tyrannical three giants of the Deity Dao Union caused the atmosphere of this nice banquet to sour. No one dared to say anything.
