Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1429: Intense Clash

The four Demon Crown Scions—three men and one woman—each carried a corner of the ice sculpture as they coldly eyed Xia Houjue and Feng Wuji.

The Moon Demon Royal Hall, the Star Demon Royal Hall, the Beast Demon Royal Hall, and the Flower Demon Royal Hall. Among the eighteen Demon Crown Scions, these four's rankings were not high. However, their strength was still not something Xuan Yan and Yi Xuan could compare with.

Seeing that the Deity Dao Union sent only two people to block them, the Demon Crown Scions revealed cold smiles.

"Leave the ice sculpture behind, and the four of you may leave," Xia Houjue said expressionlessly.

The Beast Demon Royal Hall's Crown Scion possessed a tough and stocky build. He smiled coldly and retorted, "You speak very boldly. I'll come and test you out."

This stocky Crown Scion had many beast tattoos on his face. When he roared, it was like a ferocious beast roaring, looking especially savage. His figure flashed and snarled as he threw a punch at Xia Houjue. When he punched, his fist turned into the claw of a huge prehistoric beast.

The tightly clenched beast claw looked like a mountain. A startling might spread out from the fist.

The clouds surged like the sky was falling. Xia Houjue snorted coldly, and his aura burst forth from his body, blocking this might. A dull sound of impact came from the air.

The sky shook, and countless rocks from the entire Dragon Burial Mound soared into the air, covering the sky and the sun.

When the other party's beast fist was about to arrive, a golden flame lit up in the depths of Xia Houjue's eyes. "Boom!" Suddenly, a Deity Statue appeared behind him, and sagely music rang out in the surroundings.

The Deity Statue faced the wind and instantly grew to three kilometers tall. Then, Xia Houjue gently pointed, and the Deity Statue sent out rings of light that looked like halos.

This gave this finger strike a strong Divine Might. "Bang!" The huge illusionary prehistoric beast that the Beast Demon Crown Scion materialized shattered.

When the Beast Demon Crown Scion landed on the ground, he fell to one knee, nearly face-planting.

"How strong!"

Immediately, the many cultivators looked at Xia Houjue in a brand-new light, not daring to believe it.

Shui Lingling said, "The Deity Race's power of faith is truly mysterious. This Xia Houjue has already surpassed me by a lot."

Shui Lingling's level of talent was similar to Xia Houjue's. She was also able to obtain the resources that the other party could. The only thing she could not obtain was the Deity Race's Deity Statue. This extra factor easily explained why the other party's strength surpassed hers.

"No wonder so many people are willing to join the Deity Dao Union. Once the Deity Statue is erected and the power of faith pours in continuously, one would definitely grow stronger." An Junxi shook his head and sighed. Likewise, his talent was not inferior to Xia Houjue's. If he had the exact same conditions, he would definitely surpass the other party. However…

The Spirit Fox King's disciple countered, "With every gain, there will be a loss. From the moment he forged his Deity Statue, he truly lost the brilliance in his heart. He will forever submit to Di Wuque. He has lost himself and will never advance to Prime. Just wait ten more years and see how he turns out."

Indeed, with gains, there would be losses. There would always be a fair balance.

"Furthermore, their reliance on the Deity Race will only increase. Eventually, they will be assimilated. Originally, they intended to use the Deity Race to strengthen themselves. In the end, they will learn that they are pawns of the Deity Race and can no longer break free," Xiao Bai calmly analyzed.

As the group chatted, Xia Houjue appeared to become stronger the longer the battle went on. He completely suppressed the Beast Demon Crown Scion, forcing the other party to activate his innate talent. Even so, the Beast Demon Crown Scion still could not gain the upper hand; his defeat seemed inevitable. Furthermore, Xia Houjue still had energy to spare.

From the initial disdain, the expressions of the other three Demon Crown Scions turned grave.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the other three Demon Crown Scions roared and pushed at the same time, hurling the ice sculpture at Feng Wuji, who was observing at the side. Then, they flew up simultaneously to surround and attack him.

The ice sculpture's might was clear without a doubt. It even suppressed the unprepared Thunder Demon Crown Scion. If Feng Wuji got careless, he would definitely end up suffering.

Fortunately, Feng Wuji was not careless at all. When he saw the ice sculpture flying over, he showed a grave expression.

"Earthen God Profound Tortoise!" Feng Wuji shouted and leaned over. The image of the Black Tortoise appeared and enveloped him.

The ice sculpture ferociously struck the Black Tortoise image, and Feng Wuji staggered three steps back. Then, he threw three consecutive palm strikes and forcefully pushed the ice sculpture back.

The ice sculpture spun endlessly with a screech. Its horrifying Saber Might stirred up the wind and clouds. A saber wind buzzed in the air. The sharp saber intent made everyone fear it.

"Retreat!"

The three Demon Crown Scions showed stunned expressions. They did not dare to clash head-on, quickly dodging.

"Hahaha! The Demon Crown Scions are only so-so!"

Feng Wuji leaped into the air and raised the ice sculpture with one hand. Using the might of the ice sculpture, he had turned the tables, suppressing the three Demon Crown Scions instead.

The place immediately turned chaotic. However, it was clear that the four Demon Crown Scions were losing. This was within everyone's expectations.

"It looks like the Deity Dao Union is really incredible. Earlier, Sima Lingxuan and the others could not defeat these four Demons. Now, the Deity Dao Union sent just two people, and they managed to suppress the Demon Crown Scions."

"Clearly, Xia Houjue and Feng Wuji improved faster than the other outstanding talents in the Deity Dao Union."

"The Deity Dao Union truly lives up to being the strongest faction of the Kunlun Realm now."

Up in the sky, Di Wuxue heard all this with his eyes closed. He revealed a smile on his face. This was the effect he sought. He wanted to use the fight for the Evil Shadow Sword to let the whole world know the might of the Deity Dao Union.

Where the Demons gathered, the group of Demon Crown Scions frowned heavily.

The strength of the Deity Dao Union surpassed their expectations somewhat. The Deity Dao Union was much more difficult to deal with than expected.

"Heavenly Blood Deity Finger!"

A gigantic scarlet finger with rings of divine patterns on it descended from the sky. It struck the Beast Demon Crown Scion's body, forcing him back to his original form and burying him deep in the ground.

The Beast Demon Crown Scion's moans sounded exceptionally miserable amid a boundless cloud of dust. He probably could not fight any longer.

As for the other three Demon Crown Scions, Feng Wuji was already suppressing them using the ice sculpture. When they saw Xia Houjue coming to help, they immediately panicked.

"Whoosh!"

At the crucial moment, a bolt of lightning flashed in the sky. The Thunder Demon Royal Hall's Lei Yun had made his move.

However, when this bolt of lightning shot out, a divine light blocked it. The Ghost Race's Xie Zixuan held up his sword and smiled. "Your opponent is me!"

"How dare you block my way?! You must be seeking death!"

Lei Yun snorted coldly and attacked at lightning speed. He was like a phantom; his Movement Technique made him like lightning as he closed in on Xie Zixuan.

Lei Yun wanted to use the same method he used to defeat Shui Lingling to deal with Xie Zixuan. However, he underestimated Xie Zixuan's Movement Technique. Xie Zixuan became like a ghost, mysterious and unpredictable, no weaker than Lei Yun.

After mere moments, the two had exchanged more than a hundred moves. However, neither side could do anything to each other.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Many Demon Crown Scions on the Demon Royal Halls' side charged over. Di Wuque waved his hand, and the twelve Keepers turned into beams of divine light, joining the fray.

The chaos around the ice sculpture ramped up even further.

No one wanted to admit defeat. The Demon Crown Scions joined the battles one by one. Aside from the Earth Demon Crown Scion and the Celestial Demon Crown Scion, the other Crown Scions all made a move.

Before they knew it, the battlefield was ruined beyond recognition, a huge, deep pit appearing there.

No one noticed that the thousands of strands of black Dragon Qi above the Dragon Burial Mound slowly headed for the battlefield, gathering together.

The chaotic battlefield was filled with mysterious phenomena: snow, lightning, strong winds, sword Qi, and many others. The clamor was deafening.

Only that ice sculpture remained the same. It rose and fell amid the various mysterious phenomena. Sometimes, it would be on the ground. Sometimes, it would soar in the air. Sometimes, it would spin around like the wind.

"How chaotic! I can't find an opportunity to make a move!" Xiao Bai said, somewhat vexed. Her instincts told her that this ancient ice sculpture was very familiar.

Unfortunately, there was a wild battle going on that was intensifying by the moment. Once she got caught up in it, the consequences would be dire.

"Di Wuque, why keep hiding? Do you dare to fight with me?!"

Just at this moment, the second-ranked Demon Crown Scion of the eighteen Demon Royal Halls, the Earth Demon Crown Scion, directly challenged Di Wuque, who was on the flagship surrounded by many warships.

"Of the eighteen Demon Crown Scions, there is only one worthy to fight with me. Unfortunately, it is not you. However, since you want to die, I do not mind granting that wish!"
