Chapter 1340: Mutated Golden Crow

How to deal with the Lunar Palace? Even after thinking for a long time, Xiao Chen still did not have a clue.

Within the Lunar Palace, the only person whom Xiao Chen was on friendly terms with was the Holy Daughter Yue Bingyun. She held a high position there and was the next Palace Master of the Lunar Palace.

The most crucial thing was that no matter what the future of this next Palace Master of the Lunar Palace was, there was no way to use it to gauge the Lunar Palace's current thoughts.

"Hu ci!"

Just at this moment, the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram suddenly appeared behind Xiao Chen. The Solar True Flame and the Lunar True Flame chased each other, forming a beautiful diagram.

Xiao Chen felt excited. How fast! In just half a day, his Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame both reached Rank 6 at the same time.

He stopped absorbing the flames. The flaming whirlpool in each of his eyes stopped spinning.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and extended his hand. Golden light flickered, and two Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagrams appeared at the same time, one in front and one behind.

"Buzz!"

The space within one hundred meters suddenly froze. Everything, even the tiny dust, all froze.

Xiao Chen vaguely sensed a sliver of the state of space. When the two Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagrams appeared together, they actually succeeded in freezing the space within one hundred meters.

Joy appeared on Xiao Chen's face as he temporarily forgot about his troubles with the Lunar Palace. He tried to increase the distance between the two Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagrams.

"Bang!" Space immediately shattered, and strands of flames flew everywhere.

Xiao Chen frowned and said, "It looks like I was hasty. In order to expand the space, I need to raise the rank of the flames first."

As he looked at the huge flame pool in front, envy flashed in his eyes. This was accumulation. If he could possess all of this and executed the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, its might would be unimaginable.

However, thinking about it was all Xiao Chen could do.

"But there is no need to feel unfortunate. I still have two and a half days more. There should not be any problem raising the flames to Rank 7."

After calming down, Xiao Chen resumed absorbing the essence of these flames.

------

Two days later, where Tian Youxi was, Xia Houjue, Yi Ling, and others all showed sullen expressions.

This was especially so for Xia Houjue. He had been on the verge of succeeding in overthrowing the Ye Clan when the Cyclic Astral Lord suddenly showed up and forcefully interfered with the internal struggle for power within the Northern Sea Alliance, helping the Ye Clan stabilize their hold on the Alliance Chief position.

Furthermore, after learning that the Cyclic Astral Palace supported the Dragon's Gate, many of the factions that supported the Deity Dao Union in the Northern Sea Alliance immediately turned quiet.

After the Dragon's Gate gained the support of the Cyclic Astral Palace and the Northern Sea Alliance, the reputation of the Deity Dao Union in the Heavenly Starry Ocean hit rock bottom.

Now, within the Heavenly Starry Ocean, nearly no one mentioned the Deity Dao Union. All they discussed was news related to the Dragon's Gate.

"Damn it! This Cyclic Astral Lord is too overbearing. He is a Prime, and yet he so openly supports Xiao Chen, openly declaring war against our Deity Dao Union," Xia Houjue raged.

Even now, Xia Houjue still recalled the scene when the Cyclic Astral Lord's clone appeared, stunning everyone.

Yi Ling's eyes glittered as he glared at Tian Youxi. "Indeed, the Cyclic Astral Lord was somewhat too overboard. If the Deity Dao Union does not suppress this and we lose all our momentum, it will give the impression of us putting on a false front. It will be hard to maintain the confidence of the people who follow the Deity Dao Union."

Xia Houjue said worriedly, "Xiao Chen already convinced two Primes. Furthermore, he has Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King. The Dragon's Gate's side now has four Primes. Why do I feel that the Dragon's Gate's momentum is now equal to our Deity Dao Union's?"

On the surface, the Deity Dao Union had three Primes—the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch—adding the three Holy Masters, that was like having four Primes.

Originally, the Deity Dao Union held the absolute advantage. However, with Xiao Chen's consecutive moves, the situation actually reached a balance.

Two months ago, Feng Wuji was still filled with confidence. Now, he wavered somewhat. The glamor of the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen inspired strong fear.

Tia Youxi revealed a disdainful smile. "Feng Wuji, don't think that our Deity Race is that simple. Who told you that my Deity Race has only one Prime?"

Feng Wuji's eyelid twitched. Could it be that the Deity Race has two Primes?

"There are some things that you do not need to know. Just think, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God are not fools. The three Holy Masters of your human race are not fools, either. That is enough. Without seeing the Deity Race's true trump card, how could they be willing to submit to the Deity Race?"

Tian Youxi's indifferent words stunned both Xia Houjue and Feng Wuji. Could it be that the Deity Race really still had trump cards that they did not know about, for the Divine Daughter to be so confident?

"There is no need to care about the Dragon's Gate's momentum. As long as we can convince the Lunar Palace, all of Xiao Chen's efforts will go to waste."

Xia Houjue interjected, "What if we fail to convince them?"

Tian Youxi said, "That is impossible. The Lunar Palace has a blood grudge with the Azure Emperor. Back then, the Azure Emperor killed the Lunar Palace's Palace Master and many elders in a rage. No matter how much time has passed, no one will forget that."

Yi Ling, who had been silent, said, "Actually, there is no need to think too much. Even if the Lunar Palace does not agree, as long as we destroy the Supreme Sky Sect, the Dragon's Gate's momentum will vanish. Those Holy Master Primes that support him will naturally make another choice, and his alliance will scatter."

Tian Youxi nodded and said, "That's right. However, with that, there will be no way to avoid great chaos in the Kunlun Realm."

Once a great battle began, they would have to bring out their full strength. The entire Kunlun Realm would enter an age of chaos.

If the Supreme Sky Sect could be destroyed that easily, the Deity Dao Union would not have waited until now to make a move.

"Divine Daughter, Xing Jue and Xie Zixuan are here!"

The doors to the secret room opened. The Deity Race Sovereign Martial Emperor Qin Xiu came in with two people.

Tian Youxi's face lit up in joy. Xing Jue and Xie Zixuan, one was the Heaven Punishing Corpse God's personal disciple, and the other was the East Mountain Ghost Monarch's personal disciple.

After these two trained in the Astral Battlefield, their strength soared greatly compared to before. They both had even killed a First Heaven Martial Emperor before.

The two had been in closed-door cultivation. Tian Youxi had long anticipated their arrival, and now they finally came. With Xing Jue and Xie Zixuan here, they would have a greater chance of convincing the Lunar Palace.

If the two of them could suppress Xiao Chen in front of the Lunar Palace, the Deity Dao Union's momentum in the Heavenly Starry Ocean would instantly catch up to the Dragon's Gate's.

In the time they had not met, the two's strength had soared once more. Their auras were much denser. Xia Houjue and Feng Wuji were both startled and even felt some fear at the sight of the two.

Now, Xia Houjue and Feng Wuji could no longer make out the strength of Xing Jue and Xie Zixuan.

"Strange, why is Di Wuque not out of closed-door cultivation yet? Is he not going to show up for the trip to the Lunar Palace?"

"It is possible that he might not be able to appear. I cannot guarantee that."

Xing Jue waved his hand and said, "It's fine. We might not be able to deal with Xiao Chen when fighting alone. However, with both of us working together, we are confident of holding back Xiao Chen. When are you going to depart?"

"Half a month from now, the Lunar Palace will hold a Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony. At that time, the various major factions will be there to watch. We will choose this moment to appear."

---

Xiao Chen, who was still absorbing the Solar True Flame and the Lunar True Flame, did not know that two of his old opponents had arrived in the Heavenly Starry Ocean.

He was also unaware of what the Lunar Palace's impending Divine Weapon unveiling ceremony had to do with him.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was looking at the flame pool in disappointment, not knowing how to console Ao Jiao.

His three days were almost up, but there was no sign of movement from the Golden Crow Egg in the Solar True Flame.

The flame was overly dense. Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense could not make out the exact situation. However, if there was any reaction from the Golden Crow Egg, there would be some movement.

But from start to end, the lava-like surface formed by the Solar True Flame did not show any strange movements.

"Azure Dragon King, three days are already over. Are you not going to leave yet?"

The sound of the Cyclic Astral Lord's urging suddenly came from outside. Xiao Chen frowned and had no choice but to retrieve the Golden Crow Egg.

"Whoosh!"

When the Golden Crow Egg emerged, Xiao Chen's and Ao Jiao's expressions changed simultaneously, showing shock.

"Why has this Golden Crow Egg turned golden?"
