Chapter 738: Chaotic Battle

A cry of indignant grief resounded through the world.

Even bystanders like Feng Wuxiang and Aurora now understood that this old dragon had probably been fooled by Yu Cheng, or else this method to suppress the Spirits of the Five Elements wouldn't have been here.

And this method had been left out in such an obvious fashion, and there was also that dragon being stood upon in that image, serving as the finest form of mockery.

"Hahahaha!" Immortal Ji Yao, the demon on the other end of the passage, madly laughed. "Azure Dragon, so even you have days like these. When you were pulling the threads of Fate and tempting me to fall into demonhood, you should have known this day would come. If Yu Cheng were that easy to fool, he wouldn't have been the Immortal Emperor. Alas, all your scheming amounted to only doing the work for someone else! You waited for ten thousand years, but what you were waiting for was nothing but a Fate of total defeat! Hahaha, hilarious! Just hilarious!"

As the female demon laughed, the Spirits of the Five Elements began to melt, dissolving into motes of primordial energy that flew toward Tang Jie, rapidly increasing his understanding of the Dao of Five Elements.

"This is impossible!" The Azure Dragon swam about Lin Xin's body, flailing his claws as he shouted, "I am the Controller of Fate! The Fate of the world is mine to decide! All of this was arranged by me, so there should have been no mistakes, no mistakes!!!"

"You frog in a well!" Immortal Ji Yao said in disdain. "You think that Controlling the Dao is the highest level of the Dao?"

"What?" the Azure Dragon said in shock.

Immortal Ji Yao said, "Azure Dragon, you are an existence born at the dawn of the world from all the good this universe had to offer. As one beloved by the world, you were born with the capacity to become an Immortal, able to attain Supreme True Immortal without even trying and reigning over all. But this is exactly why you were too proud and content, thinking that you were so high and mighty that you didn't need to improve. Thus, you were replaced by humans. Your Dao is not something you comprehended through diligent cultivation, but something you were born with, which is why you have no idea where the limits of the world are. You thought that you were the strongest just because you were beloved by the heavens, that because you were a Dao Controller of Fate, you could manipulate Fate, but you never realized how gravely you were mistaken. You were neither the strongest, nor could you manipulate Fate. In truth, you're just like Reverend Seer, being manipulated by Fate. To use the same words you said to Reverend Seer: how could you only obey when Fate made you a king and then resist when Fate makes you food?"

The Azure Dragon froze as if he was thinking, but then he shook his head. "Impossible! I am the Dao Controller of Fate. Who could be above me, manipulate me?"

Immortal Ji Yao casually said, "Haven't you already seen it?"

The Azure Dragon shuddered. "Yu Cheng? How? Fate wasn't even his expertise!"

Immortal Ji Yao simply laughed.

It was a sinister laugh that made the Azure Dragon despair.

"No!" he shouted, and the Azure Dragon birthmark once more began to fade. After some effort, he managed to break Tang Jie's lock and regain control of Lin Xin's body.

Tang Jie snorted, "You think you're in charge here?"

He thrust out his finger again.

The Azure Dragon was suppressed once more.

This time, there were no Elemental Spirits to help him escape.

But at this moment, the Aurora Fiend Emperor laughed. "In the end, the Azure Dragon Sacred Sovereign is a member of my fiend race, and since the Sacred Sovereign wishes to be reborn, how could we just stand back and watch? Better for us to assist the Sacred Sovereign and see if the Fate arranged by the Immortal Emperor can be overcome or not!"

Four arms were raised, and a wave of rainbow light surged toward Tang Jie.

The fiend was truly bold, daring to challenge a Fate he knew had been arranged by the Immortal Emperor, not fearing the will of the heavens. This was a true man, bold enough to go against the heavens.

Going against the heavens might not have been correct, but it definitely took courage!

Tang Jie couldn't help but feel some admiration. "As expected of Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he punched three times, fending off the rainbow light but being pushed back as a result.

He had used the Devil Crushing Fist to save Yiyi and was attacked by Aurora in this weakened state, which had inflicted rather serious wounds. Even with his powerful constitution, he couldn't recover so quickly, and in this weakened state, he was clearly no match for Aurora.

Upon seeing this, Liu Zongchang angrily said, "Aurora, come and fight this old man!"

Although the Celestial Sword Sect Master was renowned as being the master of the top sect, he still had a fiery temper, and he angrily swung his sword at Aurora. He hadn't liked Reverend Seer's actions from the start, but he had stood by for the sake of their long friendship. Now that Reverend Seer was dead, he was the first to defect and help Tang Jie.

Aurora grunted and said, "Millepluma Guard, stop him!"

With a roar, the seven hundred Millepluma Guard raised their mountain of spears to thwart Liu Zongchang.

Intercepted, Liu Zongchang shouted, "What are you all standing around for?"

Shentu Yuan was the first to react, shouting, "Kill!"

The cultivators charged at the opposing fiends, and the temporary ceasefire came to an end.

Only Feng Wuxiang remained motionless.

As Liu Zongchang made attack after attack, he barked, "Wuxiang, what are you still waiting for? Are you still holding a grudge over Tang Jie's sneak attack?"

Feng Wuxiang sighed. "I'm not that petty. I schemed against him, so I deserved to be struck by his sword. It's just that I feel like I will be letting down my old friend the Seer if I help him. I still don't know if what he said was true or false, right or wrong"

Liu Zongchang laughed. "Who cares if it was true or false, right or wrong? At least Tang Jie is a human, and he helped us. This old man will help him in return. If he really does become a demon one day, I can just kill him then. How can you punish someone for a crime they have yet to commit?"

"And if he becomes a Demon Lord?" Feng Wuxiang asked.

"If he becomes a Demon Lord, so be it. The Primordial Fog Domain already has 99 of them, and the sky's not going to fall if there's one more or one less!"

Feng Wuxiang was taken aback, but after thinking it over, he felt like there was truth to these words. In the end, he had been overthinking things.

Reverend Seer was the servant of Fate, but he wasn't, so he only needed to seek approval from his Origin Heart.

Now that Reverend Seer was dead, he still needed to help the people that deserved his help.

Realizing this, Feng Wuxiang sighed. "In the end, it's Brother Liu who is more clear-minded. I was too focused on outer appearances."

With these words, he flew out.

He had barely gotten off the ground when the Iron Blood Fiend Emperor intercepted him. "Preceptor Wuxiang, if you would please."

The Ironblood Saber unleashed a spray of stars, shaking Feng Wuxiang's will as it sliced toward him.

In terms of strength, Feng Wuxiang was originally above Iron Blood.

But he had been badly wounded by Tang Jie's Ten Extinctions Blade, and he didn't have Tang Jie's incredible recovery ability. As a result, he had yet to recover, so his strength was essentially on par with Iron Blood's.

With the battle restarted, there was no one left to help Tang Jie except Yiyi, who hastily let out the Mother Cloud combat puppet and sowed bean soldiers to assist.

Aurora simply chuckled, not caring at all about these tricks. His intention wasn't to kill Tang Jie, but to stop Tang Jie so that the Azure Dragon could be reborn. The moment the Azure Dragon was reborn, all of the humans here would cease to exist under his immense power. Not only would the Verdant Cloud Domain be united under the fiends, Aurora would be rewarded by the Azure Dragon for his help. Even if the Azure Dragon couldn't become a Gold Immortal, a True Immortal was still something worth Aurora's veneration.

This was Aurora's real goal in going against the heavens.

While the combat puppet and bean soldiers were strong, Aurora simply sent out waves of rainbow light to hold back both them and Tang Jie, giving them no opportunity to interfere.

Meanwhile, the birthmark began to fade once more as the Azure Dragon tried to break out of Lin Xin's body and return to his corpse.

But at this moment, an azure energy appeared on Lin Xin's face.

This azure energy prevented the Azure Dragon's soul from leaving.

"You bitch!" the Azure Dragon roared.

He knew that this was Lin Xin's soul strenuously resisting, pulling him back into the body.

Lin Xin shouldn't have been powerful enough to resist the Azure Dragon's soul.

But the Azure Dragon's two previous attempts to break out had drained much of the Divine Soul's power, and this was Lin Xin's own body, so she had an innate advantage. The combination of these factors finally allowed her an opportunity, and she grimly held fast to him and refused to let him leave.

As they struggled, Tang Jie and Aurora's battle intensified.

Burdened by heavy wounds, Tang Jie was greatly weakened, and even the Ten Extinctions Blade was much weaker.

Tang Jie swung his sword, but there was no corresponding wave of sword light. However, Aurora remained on guard, swiftly flying out. A moment later, that sword light appeared, slashing at empty space. At the same time, Aurora conjured up a cloud of energy and sent it at Tang Jie, striking him in the side and causing him to vomit blood.

Before Tang Jie could respond, a blast of air swept through, but instead of attacking Tang Jie, it ground up all the blood that Tang Jie had thrown up, scattering it to the winds.

Tang Jie had been planning to use this moment to use Reflections of the Floating Life, but he had now been robbed of his medium. He had no choice but to use the Chaoswind Step to evade, but the moment he reappeared, a wave of rainbow light slammed into him. He once more threw up blood, and another blast of air scattered the blood.

Aurora laughed. "Tang Jie, I know everything you can do now, so none of it will work on me!"

Whether it was the Dao of Time or the Reflections of the Floating Life, they had all their limitations and weaknesses. The Aurora Fiend Emperor was a powerful expert, so he could see at a glance where these flaws were. He had even seen through the Chaoswind Step, allowing him to calculate where Tang Jie would appear and attack it.

Although he couldn't break the Dao Arts themselves, he could exploit their weaknesses. For example, whenever Tang Jie was injured and threw up blood, Aurora would immediately destroy the blood. When it came to casting speed, Tang Jie could only eat his dust. If it weren't for the Mother Cloud combat puppet and the bean soldiers, Tang Jie would have had a hard time just staying alive.

Tang Jie used attack after attackthe Flesh Millstone, the Nine Heavens Calamity Blade, the Ten Extinctions Bladebut Aurora easily countered all of them.

Now that he knew all of Tang Jie's tricks, he found it easier and easier to deal with Tang Jie. He was now confident that even if Tang Jie had been at his peak, he could still defeat him. Such was the tragedy of someone who relied on tactics. The moment one's opponent had grasped one's tactics, they could use overwhelming strength to crush them.

Whoosh!

Another blast of rainbow light struck Tang Jie, sending him flying back.

Aurora proudly said, "In the end, this world is supported by power. Schemes can only get you so far. A pity, Tang Jie. Even though you were infinitesimally close, in the end, you were not able to create the miracle of defeating a Violet Palace cultivator while at a lower level. Now, you can die."

Tang Jie raised his head and looked at Aurora. "Is that so? I don't agree. My old tricks no longer work, so I might as well try some new ones. Aurora, you are destined to become my stepping stone, a monument I raise in the Great Stellar Chiliocosm to commemorate my might!

"Raaa!"
