Chapter 1220: Forcible Breakthrough





Ao Jiao looked anxious . She knew that Xiao Chen was forcing his way through . If he succeeded, he would reach the Life and Death Art’s fifth layer . If he failed, everything would be over .

Without a doubt, the further one went, the greater the chance of failure . The difficulty would increase by severalfold . Worrying was inevitable .

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, the light coming from Xiao Chen stopped flickering, and a new ring of light appeared behind him . He had succeeded in forcibly breaking into the fifth layer .

Life and death swapped positions . Xiao Chen, who was seated cross-legged, felt the vast Mental Energy in his sea of consciousness condensing formlessly at one spot .

His Mental Energy became like a metallic fluid constantly changing its shape . After five life-and-death crises, his vast Mental Energy took on a vaguely humanoid shape .

Xiao Chen felt that as long as he survived two more life-and-death crises to advance the Life and Death Art to the seventh layer, there would be a qualitative leap—an unpredictable change .

However, should he fail, his mind would shatter . As for the consequences, if the damage was light, he would turn into an idiot; if it was severe, he would be braindead .

The risk was great . Nevertheless, because of his deep-felt beliefs, he needed to persevere .

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth as he withstood the intense pressure and the agony from shuttling between life and death . Even so, he chose to continue cultivating the Life and Death Art to break through to the sixth layer .

One day passed, leaving only two more days until the closure of the Human-Demon Paradise . Xiao Chen was still working on breaking through to the Life and Death Art’s sixth layer .

Another day passed, and he successfully broke through to the sixth layer and prepared for the seventh layer . However, he had only one more day .

If Xiao Chen could not break through and the Human-Demon Paradise ejected him, he would suffer the combined attacks of eight half-step Martial Emperors .

Not only would he suffer grievous injuries, but when the Life and Death Art got interrupted, the rebound from the Cultivation Technique would also aggravate them .

However, breaking through to the sixth layer took Xiao Chen two days . No matter how one looked at it, one day would definitely not be sufficient for breaking into the seventh layer .

Heavy anxiety flared in Ao Jiao’s eyes . After she used some of the peak Medicinal Pills in the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance on Dugu Ao, who lay on the ground, she managed to stabilize his condition .

Dugu Ao’s lifeforce stopped draining away, but he was still unconscious, rejecting the healing that came from his Demon bloodline . The situation remained grave .



Both Ao Jiao and Mu Xiyan were so anxious that it showed on their faces; they could not think of any ideas .

---

Outside the stone stele, the sun set in the west, and the sky darkened . The eight foreign half-step Martial Emperors sat in the surroundings . A cold smile appeared on all of their faces .

When the sun rose once more, triggering the ejection of Xiao Chen and the others, it would be their turn to make a move .

This time, these half-step Martial Emperors would not give Xiao Chen any opportunity . It would be absolutely impossible for the Azure Emperor’s descendant to become a Martial Emperor!

In the periphery of the stone stele, a large number of Demon mixed-bloods gathered, not showing any intent to leave immediately .

Everyone knew that when day broke, that white-robed bladesman would be sent out .

Although everyone already believed that Xiao Chen would definitely die, they wanted to take one last look at him, to see this white-robed bladesman that could shock hundreds of people with a shout .

Even if such a person died, he would do so in a stylish manner .

“It would be best if he could pull down a few of those half-step Martial Emperors with him . Those bastards have gone too overboard!”

Someone could not suppress the rage in his heart, whispering curses as he looked at the eight half-step Martial Emperors .

“Damn, be quieter . Don’t let that group of people hear you . Didn’t you hear what those old folks said? These foreign half-step Martial Emperors have Primes supporting them . They should not be offended . ”

“Just because Primes support them, they can randomly kill us Demon mixed-bloods?”

“What can we do? Since the Blood Sovereign Martial Emperor, there have not been any Demon mixed-blood Primes . We can survive only because of the agreement between the Blood Sword Sovereign and the five major races . ”

That person who had initially cursed sighed silently . How could he not understand this? It was just that he felt dissatisfied .

“Originally, Dugu Ao probably had a very good chance of reaching the same heights as the Blood Sword Sovereign with his perfect bloodline . Now, it is questionable whether he can survive or not . ”

“That might not necessarily be so . Dugu Ao might not be dead . We will naturally find out when day breaks . ”

“So what if he is not dead? The moment the sun rises and the Human-Demon Paradise closes, he won’t be able to escape death when he is sent out together with that white-robed bladesman . ”



The rage and helplessness of this group of Demon mixed-bloods permeated the soft sighs and the whispered discussion .

As the Demon mixed-blood cultivators looked at the eight half-step Martial Emperors, they all showed hostile expressions . However, they could not do anything about the foreigners . No matter how powerful they were, they were no match for Primes .

No matter what, nothing would change . Perhaps they really had to place all their hopes on that white-robed bladesman, to see if he could drag down some of those half-step Martial Emperors with him .

That way, they would be able to vent some of their hatred .

This night felt incredibly long . All the Demon mixed-blood cultivators here probably never experienced such a long vigil before . As they waited, they all held hope in their hearts . Maybe that white-robed bladesman would create another miracle .

The darkness slowly faded from the hazy sky; day approached .

Everyone could see a clump of flame hidden behind the dark cloud, looking like it was trying to struggle free of its final restraints and illuminate every part of the land .

Someone had said that the sunrise of every day represented new life and hope . The sunrise would forever be the world’s most magnificent and beautiful sight .

However, for some reason, this sunrise felt like it was heralding impending death . What it was doing was killing everyone’s hopes .


After a long time, that moment of sunrise would always arrive, regardless of one’s reluctance .

Night would eventually pass .

Thousands of Demon mixed-blood cultivators on the desert island all focused on the east, counting in their hearts .

The eight half-step Martial Emperors opened their eyes at an appropriate moment . They stared at the area above the stone stele, waiting for the morning sun to appear . Then, they would attack quickly .

Life or death, the answer would soon be known .

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three…

Before the countdown finished, the long-awaited morning sun leaped out from the distant east in a rush .

The glorious sun announced to everyone its presence, sweeping away all the darkness .

That large sun looked extremely beautiful . Everyone felt intoxicated and entranced by it; no one would tire of looking at it .

“It’s coming!”

Some people sighed silently . Everyone knew what the appearance of this rising sun meant .

It meant that the genius with the perfect bloodline, someone rarely seen, appearing only once every ten thousand years, would meet his end here . It meant that the boundlessly graceful white-robed bladesman would die here .

The moment the sun rose, it would take away not only all the darkness of the world but also two powerful outstanding talents .

A strong wind blew, swirling sand everywhere . The eight half-step Martial Emperors all stood up at the same time .

Their accumulated energy was overly vast, causing the sky to change color, the winds to surge, and the clouds to churn . As the wind blew, sand and dust spread everywhere, forming countless storms .

The auras were overwhelming, causing everyone’s breath to become labored . No one would dare to say that they could survive such a formation .

“Whoosh!”

The moment the morning sun appeared, all those still in the Human-Demon Paradise, including Xiao Chen and Dugu Ao, were immediately ejected .

Everyone saw six layers of light rings behind Xiao Chen—scarlet, orange, red, green, azure, and blue . Each ring represented a breakthrough that resulted from a brush with death .

Under the illumination of the multicolored lights, the six rings appeared glamorous and gorgeous . This was the most beautiful sight after one broke through life and death .

With one look, one would be dazzled, entranced with this dreamy sight .

However, Xiao Chen’s two sides were not so dreamy anymore . One side was a scene of hell . Darkness filled the sky, and all sorts of aggrieved spirits and evil ghosts moved about, displaying a horrifying spectacle .

Anyone who saw it was shocked and felt dread, trembling at the sight of it .

The other side was a scene replete with life, where hundreds of flowers bloomed and the four seasons cycled endlessly . It looked like heaven or even the missing Immortal Realm, fascinating everyone .

Between these vast scenes of life and death, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged atop the stone stele . Each one of the six layers of magnificent light rings was larger than the one before it . Amid the multicolored lights, he was like an enlightened bodhisattva .

Holy, dignified, and serene .

The appearance of such a boundless and magnificent mysterious phenomenon exceeded everyone’s expectations . No one had anticipated that after ten days, Xiao Chen would appear in such a manner .

Even the eight half-step Martial Emperors did not immediately make a move . Instead, they became temporarily distracted .

When the half-step Martial Emperors reacted, their expressions changed . They knew that Xiao Chen had used the Flower of Life and was currently anxiously making a breakthrough .

If these half-step Martial Emperors still did not take action, Xiao Chen could very well break through . By then, it would be hard to predict how things would turn out .

“Attack . Don’t let this brat succeed in his breakthrough . Otherwise, we will all be finished,” a Deity Race half-step Martial Emperor shouted and initiated the attack .

The other seven half-step Martial Emperors quickly followed suit, launching strong killing moves that they had stored up power so long for . The instant they executed their attacks, they charged towards Xiao Chen .

Without exception, the eight killing moves were Inferior Grade Profound Martial Techniques . Furthermore, they were all Inferior Grade Profound Martial Techniques practiced to Great Perfection . They were far from something that regular quasi-Emperors and half-step Martial Emperors could match .

“That’s not good . The white-robed bladesman is going to die . ”

Upon seeing so many Inferior Grade Profound Martial Techniques, several people could not help crying out . Even someone like the Old Black Iron Monster would retreat in the face of such attacks, not daring to clash head-on .

What more a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor in the middle of anxiously making his breakthrough? If he clashed head-on with these moves, he would die without a doubt . There was no other possible outcome .

Mu Xiyan carried Dugu Ao, not knowing what she should do .

Sweat appeared on Ao Jiao’s pretty face . Her tiny hands trembled as anxiety filled her entire face .

However, her look of determination did not waver at all . There was currently only one thought in her head: she absolutely could not let Xiao Chen fall here .

Absolutely not!

As the eight Profound Martial Techniques neared, Ao Jiao rushed over and stretched out her hand to grab the Lunar Shadow Saber beside Xiao Chen .

Then, she drew the saber, and purple Divine Lightning tore through the sky .

This was the same bolt of lightning that had appeared at Xiao Chen’s King conferral ceremony . This Divine Lightning contained the might and Dao that the Thunder Emperor, Sang Mu, had left behind .

This saber strike incited the Divine Lightning that the Thunder Emperor left behind, allowing Ao Jiao to use her petite body to block the combined attacks of the eight half-step Martial Emperors .

However, the Divine Lightning was still insufficient to block eight half-step Martial Emperors at the same time . Ao Jiao had used the Divine Lightning before . Now that she wielded it again, its might was significantly weaker .
