Chapter 1385 (Raw 1376): Scarlet Udumbara

The man and woman on the mountain were none other than Chu Chaoyun and the Demon Monarch Leng Yue.

Leng Yue's charming disposition seemed to have increased intangibly—to the point where Chu Chaoyun did not dare to pay too much attention to her, not even glancing at her from the corner of his eye.

"Are you really sure that Xiao Chen is not dead?"

Killing intent slowly stirred in the Demon Monarch Leng Yue's cold eyes as if an overwhelming storm was brewing in them.

Chu Chaoyun nodded and said, "Naturally. If a cultivator died, the Emperor's Road would definitely crumble. No matter what kind of Emperor's Road it is, it will be the same. Since we can't sense any aura of life belonging to Xiao Chen, he must be living through some other means, existing on the Emperor's Road."

"What means?"

Chu Chaoyun smiled helplessly and replied, "I just arrived myself and need to observe for a while. I really don't understand you. I am not even anxious, and yet you are already this anxious, quickly rushing from the battlefield to the Kunlun Continent. If the other Demon Monarchs find out, you will be in big trouble."

"It's none of your business," Leng Yue retorted indifferently. Her eyes continuously scanned the bloody Emperor's Road, but she could not see anything strange about it.

"I found it."

Chu Chaoyun revealed a smile. Golden flames leaped about in his eyes.

Reflected in his eyes was a clump of flame where a seed seemed to be sprouting slowly, looking like it would bloom at any moment.

"Where?" Leng Yue asked somewhat excitedly, unable to control her emotions.

Chu Chaoyun gave Leng Yue a strange look. Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed. The scene of the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame enveloping the mysterious seed appeared before the two.

"The Udumbara Flower!" Leng Yue exclaimed. Her tense heart relaxed somewhat, but the worry on her face did not decrease at all.

When the Udumbara Flower bloomed, the Holy King would appear. The instant the flower bloomed, a powerful Holy King would undergo a nirvanic rebirth, appearing while bathed in Buddhist light.

However, it was extremely difficult for this flower to bloom. Only a true Holy King could make the Udumbara bloom.

Could Xiao Chen do it?

Unlike Leng Yue, Chu Chaoyun focused primarily on the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame.

With one look, he could tell that this was a primal-chaos-level flame of the same level as his Heavenly Flame. However, it was currently too weak and could not truly be compared to the Heavenly Flame.

Nonetheless, given time, this flame's might would not be less than the Heavenly Flame's.

Chu Chaoyun withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go. We are too close. We have to be more careful."

"Wait a moment."

Leng Yue still felt anger in her heart. Her charming eyes suddenly turned hazy with thousands of beautiful flowers.

Chu Chaoyun took a hasty glance, and his expression changed slightly. Then, he asked quickly, "Ten Thousand Flower Eyes? What are you doing?"

"Leaving a present for the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign."

In the distance, the White Tiger Holy Master, who was protecting Di Wuque while Di Wuque walked his nine-colored Emperor's Road, felt a gaze focus on him.

For some reason, the White Tiger Holy Master suddenly felt the impulse to look back in the direction of this gaze.

However, with just this one glance, he could no longer look away. His mind was completely captivated.

Leng Yue's complexion slowly paled. In her eyes, countless flowers bloomed continuously. Her expression changed nonstop.

"Boom!"

Under the nine-colored clouds, the White Tiger Holy Master suddenly erupted out. Using the White Tiger Holy Beast Totem, he launched a palm strike at the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.

At this moment, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's attention was focused on the bloody Emperor's Road. He never imagined that the White Tiger Holy Master would attack him.

Caught off guard and at such proximity, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign did not see this palm strike, which gave off a tiger's roar echoing in the mountains and rivers, coming. It instantly landed on him.

The blow sent the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign flying, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood. The peak attack of a Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor was quite unbearable.

"What's going on with me?"

After sending out the palm strike, the White Tiger Holy Master immediately came to his senses. When he saw what he had done, he instantly felt fear and disbelief.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign showed a sullen face. As he wiped off the blood on the corners of his lips, he said, "You were charmed by someone."

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign felt depressed. The moment he saw the White Tiger Holy Master's eyes, he understood what had happened.

The White Tiger Holy Master's expression changed. For someone to charm him, even for only an instant, that person had to be as strong as a Demon Monarch.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign turned his head and looked over, sending out his vast Mental Energy. When it reached that mountain, he immediately felt the auras that Leng Yue and Chu Chaoyun left behind. He could not help frowning slightly.

After a while, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign muttered, "Demon Monarch Leng Yue?"

Although it was hard for the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign to take the strike of a Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor, it was still not a huge problem.

After the Demon Monarch Leng Yue made her move, she immediately vanished. What was she planning? This felt like she was just venting her anger.

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was not surprised at the Demonic World making a move. He even prepared some back-up plans to deal with the appearance of Demon Monarchs.

However, this move of the Demon Monarch confused him somewhat.

"Don't let me catch you," the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said coldly and stopped thinking about it.

"Whoosh!"

Just at this moment, nine-colored spiritual rain suddenly fell from the sky. The dense Spiritual Energy flashed with nine-colored lights.

Wondrous music rang out in the surroundings, very enjoyable and moving.

These were the songs of praise that the world sang for Di Wuque when he reached the last hundred steps of his Emperor's Road.

With these last one hundred steps, every step taken resulted in countless songs of praise and nine-colored spiritual rain.

"Praises of the world! It is truly deserving of being a nine-colored Emperor's Road. The appearance of such a mysterious phenomenon is truly an eye-opener!"

"Only the last hundred steps remain, and he will be able to push open the Emperor's Door. I really want to know what the scene will be like when the nine-colored Emperor's Door opens."

Amid the discussion of the spectators, the praises of the Deities' Nation behind Di Wuque, and the wondrous praises of the world, Di Wuque climbed step by step, appearing glorious.

"Advance to Martial Emperor!"

Di Wuque's eyes flickered with determination. He suppressed his excitement as he quickly headed forward.

Right now, his aura shone bright and sharp, incomparable.

His entire body was like a living divine being. He was terrifyingly strong. As he took his tribulation, his strength actually kept increasing.

When the cultivators on the Supreme Sky Sect's side saw this scene, they all showed expressions of despair.

Of the four Primes, although the Cyclic Astral Lord held back a bit, the other three Primes continued fighting with their severely injured bodies without caring for their lives. The pressure on them was great.

Their bodies were already covered in wounds; the injuries that they sustained were significant.

Seeing that Di Wuque was about to advance to Martial Emperor, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God asked once again, "Ying Zongtian, should we continue fighting?"

The Cyclic Astral Lord's eyes flickered. He hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, but he refrained in the end.

"Boom!"

Just as Ying Zongtian was about to reply, Di Wuque happened to take the last step of his Emperor's Road. He gently pushed opened the nine-colored Emperor's Door, and it opened with a 'bang.'

Instantly, resplendent nine-colored lights came from the world behind the Emperor's Door.

Di Wuque, who was bathed in the nine-colored light, was like the sun, shining with such radiance that no one dared to look at him directly.

Everyone was attracted by the nine-colored light. They all sighed as they looked over.

It felt like a divine being behind the Emperor's Door was giving off nine-colored lights.

"Whoosh!"

However, just as Di Wuque prepared to enter the Emperor's Door, a scarlet light suddenly descended from the sky, filling the heavens with an incredibly intense, bloody light that overwhelmed the nine-colored light of Di Wuque's Emperor's Door, rendering it dim and lackluster.

"What's going on?"

Such a mysterious phenomenon startled everyone, even the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.

To think that there was actually a scarlet light that could eclipse the resplendent light from behind the Emperor's Door! At Di Wuque's most glorious moment, it covered up all his glory.

Ying Zongtian thought of something and immediately looked at that bloody Emperor's Road. He saw that at some point in time, scarlet flower petals had drifted down, blanketing the Emperor's Road, looking strangely pure and holy.

"Scarlet Udumbara?"
