Chapter 2189 Raw 2296 : Divine Vein Realm Sovereign Emperor
Become a god or demon with a thought!
Xiao Chen saw the opposite ends of the divine and demonic bridges. Whichever he chose, he would still enjoy the benefits of seven Paramita Lamps.
He closed his eyes and pondered which bridge he should choose.
Be it the ancient Demonic Sovereign under the blood moon at the end of the demonic bridge or the powerful God King under the bright moon at the end of the divine bridge, they are both me.
However...why must I separate them?
Xiao Chen did not want to be an ancient Demonic Sovereign or a powerful God King; he only wanted to be himself.
If he had to choose a path to obtain the benefits of the seven Paramita Lamps, then he would rather not have the benefits.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes in the space of his consciousness, making his choice.
There were many God Kings in the world and many Demonic Sovereigns. However, there was only one Xiao Chen.
Whether it is the future or the past, I will only choose to be myself. No one can decide my future for me.
After making up his mind, Xiao Chen stopped hesitating and turned around to leave.
“This...”
When Xiao Chen turned around, shock flashed in his eyes. There were two bridges behind, one divine bridge and one demonic bridge.
The Buddhists had a saying, repent and turn back, and there will be salvation.
However, when Xiao Chen turned around, nothing changed. Where was the salvation? Only by making a choice could Xiao Chen see the other side.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Xiao Chen changed his position continuously, turning to face every possible direction. However, two ancient bridges with azure lamps always blocked his path.
After entering the God Conferring Platform, there was no returning.
One had to choose regardless of whether one wanted to or not.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt horrified. This God Conferring Platform seemed to harbor some unknown sinister plot.
Perhaps the Black Dragon King had his reasons for breaking the Heaven Bridging Peak into three.
---
While Xiao Chen felt at a loss, Gu Yuhan and the other three slowly climbed the Heaven Bridging Peak, getting ever closer to the God Conferring Platform. It looked like they would arrive within ten seconds.
However, Xiao Chen still had not woken up. Worse, Gu Yuhan and the other three started condensing Divine Energy on their way up.
When the four reached the God Conferring Platform, they would have condensed their Divine Energy for a long time already. As Gu Yuhan said, with Xiao Chen’s strength, even if Xiao Chen had nine lives, he would not survive the peak strike they launched after storing power.
Xiao Chen had seen the might of Divine Energy before. Had Bai Yunfei and Chu Feng not failed to condense Divine Energy on the God Conferring Platform, they would not have lost in such a sorry manner.
---
Inside the space of his consciousness, Xiao Chen still could not walk out of this strange trap.
Without making a choice, Xiao Chen could not reach the other side. No matter which direction he faced, two bridges always appeared: one divine bridge and one demonic bridge.
“Strange.”
Xiao Chen regained his composure. He continued to think calmly, trying to figure out a way to deal with this.
He had long known that one could not dual cultivate the Righteous Dao Cultivation Technique and Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique in the Martial Epoch.
It was not that no one had tried before. However, they were all forced to abandon one side in the end.
The K??yapa Buddha and the Azure Dragon bloodline’s Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor both eventually abandoned the demonic side and took the righteous path.
It looked like there was a reason for that. Perhaps they had faced similar circumstances, having to decide between god or demon with a thought. One became either a god or a demon.
There was no third choice. It was not that they did not want to dual cultivate. It was that they could not.
If it were another person, perhaps only one bridge would appear before them.
Those people would not run into this problem. Xiao Chen searched the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor’s memories; the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor had indeed practiced a Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique.
However, there were no memories of having to make a similar choice. Perhaps it had been erased.
It looks like I can only rely on myself to solve this problem. The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor could not find an answer back then, either.
Even if Xiao Chen found memories of facing such a difficult choice, it would not be of much help.
The two bridges before Xiao Chen had formed due to Xiao Chen’s Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy and Spiritual Energy Veritable Essence Energy.
Over the past few years, Xiao Chen had neglected the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art.
The Primal Chaos Veritable Essence Energy in Xiao Chen’s body no longer maintained that delicate balance it had in the past.
If my Veritable Essence Energy can reach a state of Primal Chaos again, perfectly merging and showing balance, perhaps only one bridge will remain.
With this thought, a bright light flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes in immediate enlightenment.
The two bridges had appeared because of him. Turning back was just fleeing. How could he solve the problem by fleeing?
“That’s right. That’s what I will do!”
Xiao Chen looked at the two ancient bridges in front before sitting down cross-legged. Then, he formed hand seals with his hands, immediately letting his Spiritual Energy Veritable Essence Energy leak out.
---
Back in reality, on the God Conferring Platform on the Heaven Bridging Peak:
Suddenly, a large amount of Veritable Essence Energy flowed out of Xiao Chen’s body. This Veritable Essence Energy was pure and dense, causing a strong wind to blow and thunder to roar as clouds formed and rain fell. The Veritable Essence Energy that he forced out manifested as rain, falling as lightning flashed and thunder roared.
“Spiritual rain!”
“It really is spiritual rain. Why did spiritual rain start falling on the God Conferring Platform?”
The rain drenched several of the cultivators on the Heaven Bridging Peak. When the rain seeped into their skin, they found that their cultivation grew slightly.
Just think about these people’s cultivation. They were at least heaven-defying Sovereign Personages, yet this rain could actually raise their cultivation when it seeped in.
Just how dense and pure was this spiritual rain?
“Quickly absorb it. Hahaha! This is even purer and denser than Origin Liquid. Truly a spiritual and immortal rain!”
The various super faction disciples all rejoiced. The spiritual rain that fell was superior to Origin Liquid.
“This is his cultivation foundation!”
Gu Yuhan’s expression changed slightly. He looked at the spiritual rain in his hand with a strange expression, feeling confused.
What is going on?
Why would someone scatter the Veritable Essence Energy that they spent so much effort to cultivate? Once it is scattered, who knows how long they would need to gather it all back?
What do you intend with this move? I can’t understand it.
Gu Yuhan felt stupefied. Although Xiao Chen was strong, everything Xiao Chen did previously was still within Gu Yuhan’s expectations.
Now, Xiao Chen suddenly scattered his cultivation foundation. Gu Yuhan simply could not understand this.
It was not just Gu Yuhan; Mu Yunzhu and the other two opened their eyes wide as well, equally confused.
“What exactly is this Xiao Chen thinking?”
The four who were only a few steps away immediately stopped, no longer daring to act rashly.
---
Outside the Trial Tower, all the Faux Gods, including Mu Zifeng, felt confused.
“It is hard to cultivate. Who knows how much resources were used and how much time was spent before he reached his current cultivation? How could he just scatter it like that?”
“Is it possible that he is preparing for some kind of Secret Technique? I know that some Secret Techniques could cause one’s cultivation to regress.”
“That is possible. Perhaps he sensed the four coming for him. Knowing that he would die if he did nothing, he chose to take a gamble.”
“However, the price is too high. It would be better for him to just jump off the God Conferring Platform. Furthermore, take a look. He still has not opened his eyes. That proves that he is still refining the energy from the Paramita Lamps.”
“After living for so long, I actually cannot understand the actions of a junior.”
Gu Fei smiled and said, “I think you are overthinking. Perhaps he is simply stupid? The energy of the Paramita Lamps is not that easy to refine. He might have gotten careless, and his brain got fried. Don’t you think so, Mu Zifeng?”
Mu Zifeng coldly snorted and ignored Gu Fei. However, he looked at Xiao Chen in confusion. He could not understand at all.
---
Within the space of his consciousness, Xiao Chen scattered his Spiritual Energy Veritable Essence Energy as fast as possible. The two ancient bridges before him started flickering endlessly as they slowly approached each other, looking like they would merge.
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. Indeed, it is as I expected. Good!
As long as my Spiritual Energy Veritable Essence Energy and Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy reach a balance, with my previous experience, I can instantly mix them into Primal Chaos Veritable Essence Energy.
---
Amid the lightning, thunder, strong wind, and storm, Xiao Chen’s cultivation decreased rapidly in a few breaths, incredibly fast.
A few steps away from the Paramita Lamps, Mu Yunzhu looked carefully before saying seriously, “Senior Brother, this fellow’s cultivation fell to Great Perfection Sovereign Personage.”
“I can’t wait anymore. No matter what trick he is playing, we just need to suppress him with our strength!” Gu Yuhan declared coldly as determination flashed in his eyes.
“Let’s attack, then!”
The four took large strides as they faced the strong wind and storm. Just as they reached the God Conferring Platform, they leaped up and attacked together.
“Boom!”
The four condensed Divine Energy along the way. When they attacked, their horrifying auras immediately isolated the lightning and clouds, making the entire Heaven Bridging Peak tremble.
When the four simultaneously executed their killing moves, they instantly drowned out Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen could not stand a chance against the killing moves executed with Divine Energy even when he was at his peak. At best, he would be left with just one final breath.
Now that Xiao Chen’s cultivation had fallen from half-step Sovereign Emperor to Great Perfection Sovereign Personage, he would die for sure.
---
“Oh no!”
When the four attacked, Mu Zifeng’s expression changed. He knew that the situation was bad. Given his experience, he could easily tell that only a Sovereign Emperor or better could survive these four killing moves.
“Hahahaha! In the end, I won the wager. Mu Zifeng, remember that you owe me. I hope you will honor your bet!”
Seeing this scene, Gu Fei, who had been feeling worried, ended up laughing, feeling very cocky.
---
Just at this moment, something surprising happened. The surrounding winds and clouds changed greatly.
A sharp light soared up into the clouds from the God Conferring Platform and spread through the sky. A formidable aura erupted without any warning, shaking the surroundings.
A figure suddenly soared. With the flip of that person’s hand, the winds and clouds changed.
The figure that soared up extended his hand gently. The back of his hand faced the sky, and he swiped it down.
An even purer, vaster, and denser Divine Energy than the four’s surged out.
The four’s killing moves immediately shattered and dissipated.
Before the four could say anything, the palm light pressed further and shattered their internal organs, riddling them with holes. Then, they fell off the Heaven Bridging Peak.
In this fall, they were in worse states than Chu Feng and Bai Yunfei. Whether they could survive or not would depend on fate.
---
“Sovereign Emperor!”
Outside the Trial Tower, Gu Fei, who had been guffawing, felt stupefied. Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen had become a Sovereign Emperor and instantly turned the situation around.
