Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1535 (Raw 1517): Final Preparations

Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. While he was feeling suspicious, many figures walked into the large hall.

Among them were familiar people like Ying Zongtian, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, and the Bright Moon Empress.

There was also a group of old men that Xiao Chen did not recognize. However, without exception, all these old men were experts, the Supreme Elders of the Kunlun Palace.

As for the sloppy-looking bladesman in the front, he appeared very mysterious and should be a Prime at the very least.

“Big Brother, what’s going on?”

Xiao Chen looked somewhat helplessly at Ying Zongtian. Then, he thought of a possible explanation. If that was not true, he would be very upset.

Ying Zongtian smiled and said, “Please do not misunderstand. That was a test. We were discussing who should be the leader of this alliance for resisting the Demons. The Myriad-Law Fiend Master, others, and I recommended you, Little Brother Xiao Chen. However, these five did not believe in your strength and wanted their Palace Master to take that role.

“Hence, we set up this situation to try and agitate you, so that you would not hold back. That would allow us to see your true strength.”

While Ying Zongtian spoke, the five Elders that Xiao Chen injured walked out once more. Their injuries were significantly better.

The Deity Race Elder looked at Xiao Chen said, “Sorry for coming up with such a method; we were left with no choice. Without truly seeing your strength for ourselves, we could not feel assured. There is only one chance. If we lose, the entire Kunlun Realm will be destroyed. We have to be careful with our choice of leader.”

After figuring out the truth behind the matter, Xiao Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was not a petty person.

Although he was quite upset about this, the other party already apologized, so he could not blame them for it.

“Alright, back to the main topic. Since we’ve decided on Xiao Chen as the Alliance Chief, there should be no more conflicts between us. Let’s properly discuss the Demonic Calamity that will be taking place soon.”

The Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master clapped his hands, and the entire roof of Qingyang Hall parted, revealing the sky and clouds.

A rectangular wooden table covered in dragon motifs appeared before everyone. Under everyone’s urging, Xiao Chen and the Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master sat together at the head of the table.

Seated on the right were the seven Primes of the Kunlun Realm: Ying Zongtian, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, the Spirit Fox King, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, the Bright Moon Empress, and the Cyclic Astral Lord.

Seated on the left were eight Elders of the Kunlun Palace. They were all possessed strength close to a Prime’s, at the very least, and were very old. Most of them had experienced a few minor Demonic Calamities.

The ones present were the peak fighting force of the entire Kunlun Realm. Now, they all heeded Xiao Chen’s commands.

Xiao Chen would be the one making arrangements for how to resist the Demons.

Unexpectedly, the moment Xiao Chen returned from the Sky Dome Realm, he was faced with such a task. He was truly not prepared for this at all.

However, he could not shrink back at this moment. Right now, he carried the hope of the entire Kunlun Realm. He needed to withstand all this pressure.

“How much time do we have left?” Xiao Chen opened the discussion.

“At most, seven days; at the very least, three days. After the armies of the Demons are organized, they’ll require only half a day to charge over,” one of the Kunlun Realm Elders said.

There really was not much time. Xiao Chen nodded and continued, “How about our people? Are they organized already?”

“In the three days you were in the Sky Dome Realm, the Dragon’s Gate’s Mo Chen organized the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm’s various major sects. Speaking of which, we really have to thank you. If not for this wondrous woman from your Dragon’s Gate, all this would have taken several months.”

It is Mo Chen’s efforts?

When Xiao Chen heard this, he did not find it strange. Mo Chen had long since proven her abilities in the Dragon’s Gate already.

“What about the Ghost Race’s side? After the East Mountain Ghost Monarch died, did anyone step up?” Xiao Chen asked with a frown. The Ghost Domain would be a great help on their side.

“Ghost Empress Xi Xun and her disciple Qing Cheng are currently organizing the Ghost Domain and will probably need some time,” someone answered.

Xiao Chen indicated that he understood. Then, he started to analyze the strength of the Demons and the Dark Church with the rest.

Now that they were at this final juncture, everyone shared all the information that they had about the Dark Church and Demons without holding back.

“The strongest person of the Dark Church is naturally the Dark Church’s Church Master, which is to say, the Treasure Master. That person is mysterious and unfathomable. He has never been seen making a move, but his control over the Celestial Demon Monarch, the Earth Demon Monarch, the Ice Demon Monarch, and the other Prime Demon Monarchs proves that he possesses horrifying strength.”

Xiao Chen expressed his agreement. Then, he said, “I’ll deal with this person.”

“After him, there are the two Vice Church Masters under him, Xing Wang and Fa Wang. They possess strange strengths and are stronger than normal Primes. Further down the list, there are the eighteen Demon Monarchs that everyone is more familiar with. You all are probably acquainted with them.”

Eighteen Demon Monarchs—nine Primes and nine with strengths close to a Prime. With the experts here and the Holy Masters of some of the Holy Lands, they should be able to handle these eighteen.

The crucial point was Xing Wang and Fa Wang. They did not know who to assign to deal with these two problematic people.

“Let me do it. With my strength, it should not be difficult to delay those two,” the Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master said gravely.

Given the strength of the Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master, delaying those two should not be difficult. Based on all this, the odds of victory over the Demonic World seemed to be even.

“Aside from these, the biggest worry is the Demonic God!”

“That’s right. The purpose of every minor Demonic Calamity is to obtain sufficient blood and souls to sacrifice to the Demonic God. The Demons have prepared for tens of thousands of years for this. This time, the Demonic God will definitely appear in the Kunlun Realm.”

“I heard that the Treasure Master captured nearly half the elite cultivators of the Heavenly Starry Ocean and even some Holy Masters in preparation for summoning the Demonic God.”

At the mention of the Demonic God, the Primes present and the Kunlun Palace Elders all turned somewhat tight-lipped.

The Demonic God was a huge problem. No matter what angle they took, they all felt some despair.

“When that happens, I’ll summon out the Deity Race Ancestor, and Ying Zongtian can call out the clone of the Martial God Palace’s founder. With this, we should be able to resist the Demonic God,” the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said, breaking the silence.

“Our Corpse Race also has a ten-thousand-year-old Demonic Corpse. We can use it at the crucial moment,” the Heaven Punishing Corpse God said.

Suddenly, Ying Zongtian said, “You are all forgetting something very important—the Demonic World’s Demonic Beasts. Many peak Demonic Beasts are as strong as Sovereign Martial Emperors. Furthermore, the Demonic Beasts are large in number. We might end up surrounded.”

After several rounds of analysis, no matter how they considered the issue, the Deep Abyss Demonic World was stronger than the Kunlun Realm.

Furthermore, the Demonic World was not just stronger by a little but possibly twice or thrice stronger. Just in terms of peak fighting force, their Primes already outnumbered the Kunlun Realm’s.

After the discussion ended, the Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master handed a banner to Xiao Chen.

“This is the Kunlun Banner. After you refine it, there will always be a war banner fluttering behind you. Every cultivator in the battle will see this war banner when they raise their heads. This is the purpose of the Alliance Chief. As long as the war banner is still around, it means you are not dead. This will infinitely boost the confidence of the Kunlun Realm cultivators.”

Xiao Chen received the Kunlun Banner and entered deep thought. Now, he somewhat understood why the five old men laid out such a trap for him earlier.

If he was not strong enough and fell after fighting for a while, the Kunlun Banner would fall. This would definitely drag down the morale of all the Kunlun Realm cultivators.

“Don’t worry. I’ll refine it properly. I will definitely last until the very end,” Xiao Chen said gravely.

The Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master smiled and said, “If Sang Mu knew that his inheritor is so strong, he would definitely be very happy.”

Xiao Chen looked at the other party, pondering his words. “Might I ask if you knew Sang Mu?”

“Hahaha! Not just knew him. If not for him, this old man would not have glumly run to the Kunlun Palace,” the Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master laughed loudly. “However, this was a good thing for me. I am the Saber Demon. I was once rivals with him in the Sky Dome Realm. Even after arriving in the Kunlun Realm, we continued competing with each other. Who knew, right after he advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor, he died. How unfortunate.”

Saber Demon!

Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. He had heard of this person before. Back then, he was the one who fought with Sang Mu in the finals of the Five Nation Youth Competition.

Unexpectedly, by some chance and opportunities, the other party became the Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master. No wonder his Saber Might was so frightening.

“It looks like you have heard of me. I really wish to have a good fight with you. That could be considered a resolution of my wish to have a final battle with Sang Mu. Unfortunately, we no longer have that opportunity. In at most seven days, the Demons will come charging over.” The Saber Demon sighed, showing a complicated expression on his ungroomed face.

Xiao Chen showed an equally complicated expression. As he looked towards the distant Heavenly Starry Ocean, he muttered to himself, “I’ll be clashing with that person within seven days.

“Can I win?

“I must win!”
