Chapter 1492: Strongest Prime

"Receive three moves from you? Why should I receive three moves from you?"

Xiao Chen did not fall for the trick, remaining extremely calm.

Did the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign truly think that Xiao Chen let his fame get to his head, thinking himself unrivaled after just gaining some strength?

Xiao Chen clearly understood the disparity between himself and the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.

The other party was the strongest Prime as well as the strongest person in the Kunlun Realm; he was an unrivaled existence of the Kunlun Realm.

"Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, how about I take three moves from you, then?"

Outside the large hall, Ying Zongtian arrived with Shui Lingling in tow. Although he arrived late, he managed to catch this very critical moment.

Another Prime was here!

Ying Zongtian smiled at Xiao Chen. With his back to the sun, he walked into the large hall.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign did not find this surprising. He smiled faintly and said, "Your arrival is really timely. However, Ying Zongtian, he has to be the one to receive these three strikes!"

"Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, why? Is there a need to be this tyrannical?" someone among the Dragon's Gate Elders asked in dissatisfaction.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign suddenly guffawed and said, "It looks like I have been holding my temper for too long already. Why? Because I am the strongest person in the Kunlun Realm. That's enough."

Right after the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said that, a divine light burst forth from his body, and the ground trembled. The entire large hall directly crumbled and instantly turned into flat land.

"Pu ci! Pu ci!"

Half the cultivators present vomited a mouthful of blood, knocked back by this intense divine light. They only regained their footing after taking a few steps back.

Only a few remained unharmed by relying on their own strength after retreating a few steps.

However, these people still felt fearful. After they stabilized themselves, they moved further back. This was because they felt a murderous intent coming from the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.

Xiao Chen blocked this divine light with all his might, protecting the Dragon's Gate Elders. As a result, he felt his Qi and blood surge.

The Dragon's Gate Elders took this opportunity to back away, not daring to linger.

The raging Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was simply too scary. Just one wave of divine light had knocked back so many people.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign continued smiling. He said softly, "I really miss the days of my youth. At that time, I did not have to worry about anything, revealing my sharpness as I pleased, killing anyone I wanted. However, after advancing to Prime and becoming the Deity Sovereign, I have to think about everything I do, fearing the impact of my actions.

"Is there a need? That old fool Thunder Sovereign already died on the Kunlun Road long ago. Why should I have so many misgivings?"

Indeed, for one hundred years, two hundred years…perhaps one thousand years, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign had not truly made a move. The presence of the Thunder Sovereign had kept him suppressed for too long.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign recalled his youth. He was once proud and brash, having his own golden period. He had sharpened his weapons with blood, treading the line between life and death, fighting fearlessly.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign did not reach where he was today by living like a prince. Instead, it was due to a combination of supreme talent and a path of decisive killing.

Before each throne were many corpses, bones, and endless blood—the throne of the Deity Race's Prime was naturally no exception.

Why did all the Holy Masters here stand up in haste to greet the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign the moment they saw him? Of course, it was because of his strength. They had once seen how cold-blooded and merciless this Deity Sovereign was when he was young. It was not just because of the Deity Sovereign's title or reputation.

While the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign spoke, he suddenly launched a palm strike at Xiao Chen.

Before Xiao Chen could make any preparation, this palm strike struck him and knocked him into the air, causing him to vomit a large mouthful of blood.

"Too weak! Xiao Chen, you are still not strong enough. I used only fifty percent of my strength, and you couldn't even see my shadow."

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign stood where he originally was with a smile on his face. It was like he never moved and had been just standing there all along.

Xiao Chen fell to one knee. As he looked at the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, shock flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Chen truly had not seen anything. He did not even know how the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign had attacked. The force was also incredibly strong. If not for the Great Dao Energy in his body mitigating most of the force, this palm strike would have killed him directly.

"The principle of the world is that the strong reign supreme. I like talking reason with people. However, there are times when I like to be unreasonable as well, just like now."

An aura spread out from the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, making him appear disdainful of everything in the world and putting huge pressure on everyone.

"You need to be clear about who you are talking to. It is I, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign! I'm not begging you to take three moves from me. This is an order, an order that you cannot refuse!"

The faint sound of wind appeared. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's second palm strike arrived.

This time, Xiao Chen did not drop his guard at all. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he condensed the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram to shield him.

The instant the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram condensed and had not completely taken form yet, it was shattered.

Xiao Chen's heart sank. Without much time to think, he executed the Fish Dragon Art. His body became like a fish in water, showing thousands of changes. He moved about nimbly, flickering endlessly.

In that instant, thousands of afterimages appeared, making it hard to figure out which was the real one.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's eyes lit up, and he smiled. "Interesting, you do have some strength. However, it is only so-so."

Suddenly, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's palm turned humongous to Xiao Chen's eyes. There was no place to escape to.

"Bang!"

After being struck once more, Xiao Chen's body flew into the air, moving backward.

Xiao Chen was like a fish moving in the vast sea. However, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's palm strike caused the entire sea to turn over.

Using absolute strength, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign sent Xiao Chen, whose technique was better, flying.

Tyrannical. This was true tyranny.

"Not bad, and I say this sincerely. Xiao Chen, you can be proud of yourself. I already used seventy percent of my strength in that palm strike. I have not used so much of my strength in so many years. I'm truly not used to it," the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said carefreely after he reappeared where he originally was. Then, he merely watched as Xiao Chen flew back, not continuing to attack.

"Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, don't go overboard!"

Unexpectedly, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign threw another palm strike immediately after the first one. A murderous intent flashed across Ying Zongtian's face.

Just as Ying Zongtian was about to step forward, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God blocked him, smiling coldly.

"Don't block him. Let him come over."

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign turned around casually and looked at Ying Zongtian. "What's wrong? Are you sure you want to take three palm strikes from me? If I'm facing you, I won't be as merciful as this.

"As a Prime yourself, you should be very clear about how strong I am. Perhaps you might be able to fight me to a draw with another hundred years. However, right now, you really cannot withstand three of my palm strikes thrown at full force!"

The rash Ying Zongtian calmed down. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was right.

If the other party attacked at full force, the first palm strike would be able to defeat Ying Zongtian. The second palm strike would severely injure him. The third palm strike…he might not be able to withstand it.

This was not a true duel but simply receiving the attacks of the other party. When passively receiving the attacks of the other party, one would suffer a lot.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was indeed much stronger than Ying Zongtian. His title of the strongest person in the Kunlun Realm was not without merit.

Even so, Ying Yongtian still needed to receive the palm strikes. This was his responsibility as a big brother.

After considering for just a moment, Ying Zongtian made his decision. He said calmly, "I'm sure—"

"There is one more palm strike. I'll take it!"

Before Ying Zongtian could finish his words, a resonant voice interrupted him.

Xiao Chen, who had crashed into the rubble, pushed aside everything in his way and vomited a mouthful of blood. Then, he showed a determined expression as he looked calmly at the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, showing neither joy nor grief.

"Xiao Chen…" Ying Zongtian could not help feeling anxious. How could Xiao Chen endure the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's third palm strike in such a state?

Respect flashed in the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's eyes. He smiled and said, "A strong spirit and an excellent mental state. Your superiority to Wuque is truly not as simple as mere luck."

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could tell at a glance that Xiao Chen's mental state had recovered its calm and was already prepared for combat.

If the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign used the same amount of strength as his first palm strike, given Xiao Chen's current state, Xiao Chen had a chance of blocking it.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just at this moment, three figures descended from the sky. These were the Bright Moon Empress, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, and the Cyclic Astral Lord, who all had not been planning to show themselves.

When the three giants of the Deity Dao Union appeared, the three Primes of the Heavenly Starry Ocean sensed them and had been observing silently.

For various reasons, these people were originally reluctant to reveal their presence. However, they now had no choice but to do that.

"Deity Sovereign, there is no need for the third palm strike, right? Why the need to hold a grudge against a junior? The power of the earlier two palm strikes is already sufficient to vent the Divine Son's anger," the Cyclic Astral Lord advised, humbling himself.

The Bright Moon Empress said, "Big Brother Qitian, since things have already happened like that, just leave it be. It is rare for you to come to the Heavenly Starry Ocean. How about you visit my Lunar Palace?"

The Myriad-Law Fiend Master sighed softly and said, "Deity Sovereign, when we were young, we could be considered to have had some friendship with each other. How about we forget about the third palm strike?"

The three Primes respected the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's strength and advised gently, giving him a way out of this without having to lose face. They hoped that the other party would stop here.

However, if the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was still not going to give way, no matter how strong the Deity Sovereign was, the three Primes would stick their necks out to help Xiao Chen.

As the saying went, "Talk when you can, before the saber and sword clashes."

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign showed a complicated expression. Neither joy, rage, grief, or happiness could not be made out. No one could figure out what he was thinking.

Would the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign send out the third palm strike? Everyone looked anxiously at the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the strongest Prime of the Kunlun Realm, waiting for his decision.

However, the development of things surpassed everyone's expectations. No one had considered Xiao Chen's thoughts.
