Chapter 2188 Raw 2295 : God or Demon with a Though

After Xiao Chen knocked off Bai Yunfei and Chu Feng, the Paramita Lamps that the two lit up did not disappear.

Together with the Paramita Lamps that Xiao Chen lit up earlier, the God Conferring Platform now had five Paramita Lamps.

Bai Yunfei thought very wishfully, wanting to chase Xiao Chen off and take Xiao Chen’s three Paramita Lamps.

He did not expect that he and Chu Feng would end up giving Xiao Chen one Paramita Lamp each.

As space-time flowed and karma reversed, Xiao Chen showed a grave expression on the God Conferring Platform.

Xiao Chen flicked his finger, and two drops of essence blood landed on the new Paramita Lamps. His complexion paled significantly. Each drop of essence blood contained his soul and the energy source of his Divine Seal.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The lamp flames swayed as they lit up this part of the world. Xiao Chen’s face alternated between bright and dark at the summit of the Heaven Bridging Peak.

Everyone on the entire Heaven Bridging Peak could see Xiao Chen’s handsome and delicate face with its sharp features.

“He already has five lamps!”

“He now has five Paramita Lamps. Those two fools—Chu Feng and Bai Yunfei—really gave him a big gift.”

“Those two tried to gain an advantage only to end up worse off. Xiao Chen already gave the two of them a chance, giving them face, but they did not take it.”

“I wonder if there is something strange with the God Conferring Platform? To think that two powerful false Emperors could not condense Divine Energy!”

The disciples of the five super factions on the Heaven Bridging Peak continued to climb up.

Although the people who came later might not be able to form Paramita Lamps, as long as they could meditate and comprehend the Dao on the God Conferring Platform, they would gain something. It just would not be as big as what those who came first would receive.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the world roared. Xiao Chen formed another Paramita Lamp.

Now, six Paramita Lamps shone on the God Conferring Platform. The lamp flames far above looked as dazzling as stars from a distance.

Xiao Chen lighted every Paramita Lamp with his soul. This was something that had never happened before.

The record was merely five Paramita Lamps.

However, this time, Bai Yunfei and Chu Feng ended up helping Xiao Chen, allowing him to light up six Paramita Lamps, surpassing everyone in history.

A loud sound rang out in the world. Winds and clouds surged, showing many mysterious phenomena.

A vast, boundless, majestic, and magnificent scene appeared in the sky. An incomplete bridge manifested amid the many terrifying mysterious phenomena, flickering endlessly in the clouds, its intermittent presence looking very strange.

“The Divine Bridge!”

“The Heaven Bridging Divine Bridge!”

The many disciples on the Heaven Bridging Peak exclaimed loudly when they saw the Divine Bridge, feeling incredibly shocked.

The Divine Bridge before them was not real. It was just an illusion that appeared as a result of the space-time flow.

Even so, its manifestation was still shocking. This Divine Bridge represented the past glory and honor of the Martial Epoch.

After ascending this bridge, one could head for the Heavenly Realm.

Unfortunately…

---

Endless sighs spread in everyone’s minds. All the Faux Gods outside the Trial Tower fell silent.

Compared to the Sovereign Personages, these Faux Gods felt even more deeply moved when they saw this scene.

“Six Paramita Lamps and even the illusion of the Divine Bridge appeared from the space-time flow. This Xiao Chen is really astonishing.”

“This time, a really incredible demonic genius appeared in the Heavenly Alliance. We cannot underestimate them in the future.”

“I am very curious about how great a fortuitous encounter he can receive if he absorbs this opportunity of six Paramita Lamps.”

“He will probably reach peak false Emperor in an instant. He could attain what takes countless years of bitter cultivation in an instant.”

“It’s hard to say. He previously refined the Thunder Cliff Tree. It might not be that easy to make such a big breakthrough…”

The unprecedented six Paramita Lamps surprised everyone.

However, while everyone was feeling surprised, another Paramita Lamp appeared on the God Conferring Platform.

Instantly, seven stars twinkled at the summit of the peak, lighting up the sky. The incomplete bridge flickering in the air steadied, inspiring reverence.

“Seven Paramita Lamps!”

“It turned out that he could form five Paramita Lamps by himself.”

“Those two idiots gave Xiao Chen a great opportunity for nothing. No one knows how great a fortuitous encounter he will obtain from seven Paramita Lamps.”

Without Chu Feng and Bai Yunfei, Xiao Chen would have only five Paramita Lamps and would not have caused such a commotion.

However, there were no ifs in this world. The seven azure lamps brightly illuminated the God Conferring Platform.

The fiery light reflected off Xiao Chen’s slightly pale face, making his face glisten, looking like a heroic heavenly general’s.

“I am not a false Emperor, after all; five lamps are already my limit.”

Seeing the seven azure lamps, Xiao Chen nodded slightly and sat down cross-legged. Then, he held his hands together.

“Boom!”

In that instant, the seven azure lamps turned into beams of flowing light and entered Xiao Chen’s body. The flowing space-time and topsy-turvy strands of karmic lines immediately wound around him, quickly spinning.

“Damn it! Why are the two of you still obstructing us?” Mu Yunzhu demanded of Fang Shaobai and Xiahou Wu through gritted teeth when he saw the God Conferring Platform’s mysterious phenomena about three kilometers away.

Everything had happened in the time it took for a spark to fly. Xiao Chen had just knocked Chu Feng and Bai Yunfei down. Before anyone could react, they saw Xiao Chen with seven Paramita Lamps and were stunned.

The chain of events also stupefied Fang Shaobai and Xiahou Wu; they could not take in what happened.

When Mu Yunzhu roared that demand at the two, the two suddenly regained their wits. They appeared startled and fearful as they asked, “How can it be like this?”

Gu Yuhan smiled coldly and replied, “It is to be expected. These two fools did not even know the situation at the God Conferring Platform. Xiao Chen must have refined that one-hundred-thousand-year-old Herb King, and his strength is now not far from ours.

“Xiao Chen holds the advantage in time and location. Furthermore, with those two idiots underestimating him, I am not surprised that he knocked them off the peak.”

The moment Chu Feng and Bai Yunfei stepped onto the God Conferring Platform, Gu Yuhan already guessed the results.

While others were not aware of Xiao Chen’s strength, Gu Yuhan was very clear about it.

The best chance to kill Xiao Chen had been before he refined the Thunder Cliff Tree. Now that they missed it, there would be no more opportunities.

Gu Yuhan had his chance. Unfortunately, he did not grasp it.

“What are you waiting for? The four of us should charge up together. I do not believe that Xiao Chen can fight off the four of us by himself,” Fang Shaobai said seriously as he looked to the God Conferring Platform.

“Fool. If everyone is as brainless as you, not to mention four false Emperors, even ten false Emperors would not be enough to charge up the God Conferring Platform. Xiao Chen is not that horrifying. Look at how frightened you are. How brainless!”

A look of disdain flashed in Gu Yuhan’s eyes as he looked at the God Conferring Platform. “Chu Feng and Bai Yunfei did not lose just because they underestimated their enemy. Even if the four of us charge up together, we will suffer greatly.”

“What do you think we should do, then?” Xiahou Wu asked seriously. His eyes appeared hazy with depression.

Gu Yuhan retorted indifferently, “It’s straightforward. The four of us should work together and start condensing Divine Energy. When we climb onto the God Conferring Platform, we immediately attack. Xiao Chen will not survive a peak strike executed with Divine Energy, even if he has nine lives!”

After Gu Yuhan spoke, the eyes of the other three lit up.

In hindsight, had Chu Feng and Bai Yunfei done this earlier, the results might have been different.

A bright light flashed in Fang Shaobai’s eyes as he said, “At that time, if we split his seven Paramita Lamps among us, we will still have the last laugh. Alright, that’s what we will do.”

---

Outside the Trial Tower, Gu Fei’s lips curled up into a smile. Gu Yuhan truly lived up to being an outstanding talent, second only to the Profound Heaven Holy Land’s Holy Son. He managed to remain so calm at such a critical moment.

So what if he formed seven Paramita Lamps? In the end, it will all go to my Profound Heaven Holy Land’s outstanding talent. Gu Fei felt cocky when he thought that.

As for the relatively relaxed Mu Zifeng, he started to show some worry.

This Gu Yuhan is somewhat terrifyingly calm. He is still young, but he already shows a hint of a major character.

After the four made their choice, they condensed Divine Energy as they approached the summit step by step.

However, Xiao Chen, who sat cross-legged on the God Conferring Platform, was finding it difficult to choose.

The moment the seven azure lamps entered his body, the scene before him suddenly changed. The incomplete bridge in the sky suddenly appeared before him.

However, he did not see one bridge but two.

One bridge was completely jet-black, and the other bridge was completely jade-white; one was a demonic bridge, and one was a divine bridge.

There were seven lamps on the two sides of each bridge. No matter which Xiao Chen chose, he would gain the opportunity that came with seven Paramita Lamps.

He could clearly sense that the two bridges were formed by his Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy and Spiritual Energy Veritable Essence Energy, respectively.

Xiao Chen could become a god or demon with a thought.

The choice was up to him.

Xiao Chen showed a strange expression, not having expected such a scene to appear.

He looked into the distance to the other side of the bridges. The other side seemed to have an indescribably imposing existence.

Xiao Chen stepped towards the divine bridge and immediately saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky on the other side of the divine bridge. A version of him wearing the Alloy Battle Armor stood under the moon, radiating a treasure light and appearing boundlessly majestic. This version of him smiled at the real him.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly and approached the demonic bridge.

The other side of the demonic bridge showed a throne on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. A version of him leaned against the throne’s backrest, placing one hand on an armrest as he raised a cup of wine and drank. This version of him arched his eyebrows and gave him an evil smile.

The wine that the evil version of Xiao Chen drank looked as vibrant as blood. A red moon rose from the blood sea.

Xiao Chen took three steps back, returning to his starting point. His eyes swept over both the demonic bridge and the divine bridge.
