Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 2375 Raw 2482 : Back Then, Rosy Clouds Came after the Bright Moon Finale

“Chu Chaoyun!”

Xiao Chen felt a jolt of shock at this sudden arrival. To his surprise, Chu Chaoyun appeared right when he desperately needed aid.

Even more astonishing was the smile on Chu Chaoyun’s face. Back in the Ancient Yan Emperor Tomb, he had appeared utterly dour and restless; it had been ages since he last grinned so freely.

“Quit spacing out and finish off this black loach now!” Chu Chaoyun yelled while charging at the dazed Xiao Chen under the high-hanging blazing sun.

Xiao Chen gave a faint smile. “Got it.”

At that instant, sun and moon gleamed side by side across the vast Desolate Sea.

An never-before-seen spectacle formed in the Desolate Sea from the blood moon shaped by the Wings of Time and the blazing sun born of the Universe Origin True Flame’s origin flame.

Tacit understanding marked their teamwork.

Chu Chaoyun wielded the Universe Origin True Flame’s origin flame to unleash various lethal strikes, ceaselessly tormenting the Black Dragon King.

Composed entirely of the Universe Origin True Flame’s origin flame that the Divine Master had gathered from the Martial Epoch’s dawn, the overhead blazing sun scorched relentlessly.

For this very moment, the Divine Master had hoarded every bit of the Universe Origin True Flame’s origin flame across a whole epoch. Regardless of the Black Dragon King’s tough hide or formidable defenses, the burning Universe Origin True Flame’s origin flame seared him painfully, drawing agonized shrieks.

In furious roars, the Black Dragon King unleashed his destruction aura fused with the Heavenly Dao, conjuring endless assaults that he hurled nonstop at Chu Chaoyun.

“Little bastard, I’ll kill you!”

Yet Chu Chaoyun practiced the Primal Chaos Great Dao. With a flicker of his form, spacetime rippled wildly. Chaos reigned in every path he took, leaving even the Black Dragon King unable to track his exact position.

The Black Dragon King’s terrifying strikes appeared utterly fearsome. Their mere shockwaves held power to grievously wound Chu Chaoyun.

Still, none of the Black Dragon King’s blows could touch Chu Chaoyun. Instead, Chu Chaoyun toyed with him effortlessly.

Enraged, the Black Dragon King revealed flaws. Xiao Chen exploited these gaps, employing Heavenly Slayer to activate the Heavenly Dao Killing Formation and summon diverse lethal moves fueled by the ocean-vast Heavenly Dao’s killing intent.

Xiao Chen’s epoch-transcending Flawless saber Dao had already pinned down the Black Dragon King. But Heavenly Dao shielded his foe. As the Heavenly Dao’s embodiment—a calamity forged to shatter the epoch—the Black Dragon King boasted near-endless lifeforce, thwarting Xiao Chen’s attempts to slay him.

Now, though, Xiao Chen commanded this immense sea of Heavenly Dao’s killing intent. Aiding his strikes with the Heavenly Dao yielded dramatically altered outcomes.

While the Universe Origin True Flame scorched the Black Dragon King with excruciating agony—even searing his soul—it proved non-lethal. Xiao Chen’s blows, infused with Heavenly Dao’s killing intent, proved otherwise.

Such strikes struck straight at his core of destruction.

Clouds amassed and dispersed; sun ascended as moon descended.

In unison, the desolate blood moon and blazing sun overhead in the Desolate Sea’s firmament displayed the flawless vision of sun and moon united—a mysterious event never witnessed before.

The once-desperate battle flipped in a flash.

Blood sprayed everywhere as saber beams riddled the Black Dragon King’s form with punctures. His vitality drained steadily.

A grim look crossed the Black Dragon King’s face. Silent after his early bellows, he grew quiet.

Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun shared a look. Instant comprehension dawned: the Black Dragon King plotted a mighty retaliation.

Forewarned, the pair naturally denied him that chance.

“Eternal Primal Chaos, Everlasting Sword!” Chu Chaoyun bellowed, erupting with Primal Chaos Great Dao. His frame morphed into a Primal Chaos-exposing black hole, evoking the primal era before heaven and earth divided, before day met night.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, sword light burst from that Primal Chaos, morphing into a rainbow beam. This blade cleaved heaven and earth, spawning sun and moon, eternal and undying.

“Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique, Merciless Killing!”

Xiao Chen powered the Heavenly Dao Killing Formation, drawing the limitless Heavenly Dao’s killing intent into himself.

Within Xiao Chen’s body, ceaseless saber drones echoed as a horrifying rift tore open the sky. Beyond it stretched a profound chasm, like an eye gradually unveiling itself inside.

Should heaven possess emotions, it would grow old as well. The primordial Heavenly Dao stood as the most impartial and heartless.

Whoever heaven deemed fit for death had no choice but to perish. It struck them down... utterly ruthless!

Perfect synchronization marked their teamwork. By reading each other's faces, they timed their attacks flawlessly, unleashing devastating killer techniques that hit the Black Dragon King at the same moment.

“Boom!”

Saber light and sword light both stabbed into the Black Dragon King. A mournful dragon's cry erupted from within him, echoing across the world.

“Pu ci!” The Black Dragon King's features contorted in agony as a gush of dark blood spewed from his mouth. His vital energy drained away without stop.

“Bang!” The saber and sword lights rampaged wildly inside the Black Dragon King before merging and detonating.

At that moment, the invincible Black Dragon King's form burst apart.

Sun and moon illuminated the Desolate Sea in tandem.

Fatigue etched onto Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun's faces as they drew near cautiously.

“Is he truly dead?” Xiao Chen questioned skeptically, unable to accept that they'd vanquished the Black Dragon King so easily.

Chu Chaoyun gazed into the Starry Heavens and caught a streak of rainbow light vanishing.

“That blazing sun must be the Divine Master's hidden trump card, isn't it?” Xiao Chen remarked, eyeing the sun that gleamed alongside the blood moon, before turning to Chu Chaoyun.

This mystery had plagued Xiao Chen's thoughts endlessly. The blood moon served as Dragon Emperor Xiao Yun's ace, forged from the Wings of Time. So, who owned the blazing sun over the Desolate Sea?

Upon reflection, only one conclusion emerged.

Chu Chaoyun offered no rebuttal. With a soft chuckle, he answered, “You're correct. Once I cut these ties, I'll reveal all the links.”

“Boom!”

Just as Chu Chaoyun finished, a thunderous dragon roar exploded. Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun's faces shifted in alarm.

They glanced skyward to spot a mysterious entity descending leisurely from the Starry Heavens toward the Desolate Sea. Recognition dawned, twisting their expressions in shock.

That entity turned out to be a massive black dragon head. Though merely a head, it dwarfed the whole Desolate Sea.

“That's the Black Dragon King's true form. He's invoked a Forbidden Art. We must stop it from landing, or the Central Great Realm faces total devastation!” Chu Chaoyun warned urgently, his shock evident.

With furious yells, the pair launched synchronized palm strikes. Sun and moon ascended; blood moon and blazing sun flew forth together, smashing into the Black Dragon King's head.

“Rumble...!”

Shockwaves rippled across the Central Great Realm. From the eight great empires to the Xuewu Dynasty, Yanwu Dynasty, Shenwu Dynasty, and Tianwu Dynasty, everything quaked fiercely. The world reeled as if doomsday had arrived.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun vaulted upward, vanishing into the endless Starry Heavens in a flash.

Upon beholding the Black Dragon King's true body clearly, both drew in sharp breaths. His colossal frame sprawled through the Starry Heavens, rendering nearby sun, moon, and stars mere playthings like child's marbles.

“We must never allow him to crash into the Central Great Realm!”

Resolve hardened instantly in the duo. Should the Black Dragon King's monstrous bulk strike the Central Great Realm, catastrophe beyond repair would follow.

“Chu Chaoyun, do you trust me?” Xiao Chen inquired, fixing his gaze on him.

“If I didn't trust you, why would I have come to your aid?”

No sooner had Chu Chaoyun replied than grins broke across both their faces. Pointless words, they mutually sensed.

“I possess a Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. By directing the blood moon and your blazing sun into it, we can manifest this Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram and surely repel him.”

“I understand.”

No further words were needed from Xiao Chen. A hand wave unfurled the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.

The scroll in his grasp expanded, blanketing the immense Starry Heavens. Xiao Chen acted first, embedding the blood moon within.

From the Starry Heavens' depths, the Black Dragon King bellowed. Charging ahead, he pulverized myriad stars in a terrifying spectacle, shaking the entire Starry Heavens.

Time pressed urgently. “Take it,” Chu Chaoyun bellowed, fusing the blazing sun into the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.

“Sun and moon cycling endlessly!”

Xiao Chen shoved his palm out. At once, blood moon and blazing sun shaped into black and white fish. A Taiji Yinyang Star Chart emerged amid the limitless Starry Heavens, forming a radiant barrier that hurled the Black Dragon King backward.

Merging their strengths, they sustained the Taiji Yinyang Star Chart, relentlessly driving back the Black Dragon King through the infinite, dark void of the expansive Starry Heavens.

The massive body of the Black Dragon King slammed repeatedly into the star chart, yet it failed to withstand its momentum.

Two mighty forces collided within the Starry Heavens. Wherever they swept through, stars burst apart and crumbled into pieces.

“Crack! Crack!”

Fissures began forming on the Taiji Yinyang Star Chart. Xiao Chen yelled urgently, “Withdraw!”

They retracted the blood moon and the blazing sun. Afterward, each of them touched down on a separate star.

The star Xiao Chen landed on proved barren and devoid of Spiritual Energy. Gazing around, he saw nothing but an endless wasteland stretching boundlessly to the horizon.

Right as Xiao Chen prepared to leap into the air and reunite with Chu Chaoyun, the ground beneath him erupted. A dark spear materialized without warning, stabbing towards Xiao Chen.

“Bang!”

Moments later, the star detonated. Ferocious flames surged outward from its core.

A claw from the Black Dragon King had wrecked the star, nearly harming Xiao Chen.

Yet, the crisis persisted.

The moment the star exploded, nearby space contracted sharply while a powerful suction yanked at Xiao Chen.

Startlement filled Xiao Chen. He realized that the Black Dragon King’s claw had grasped him.

However, the enemy’s dragon claw was far too enormous. Before the Black Dragon King could drag Xiao Chen closer, a saber strike from Xiao Chen illuminated the surrounding Starry Heavens, severing the claw as he bounded free.

Still, the peril endured. After activating a Forbidden Art, the Black Dragon King unleashed overwhelming battle power in the cosmic depths. No matter how hard Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun fought, they remained utterly outmatched.

Chu Chaoyun, cover me for a while! Xiao Chen sent a voice projection to Chu Chaoyun. Then, merging Heavenly Slayer into his flesh and blood, he retreated nonstop.

What are you doing?

A solemn look crossed Chu Chaoyun’s face as he eyed Xiao Chen, sensing something amiss.

We already severely injured the Black Dragon King, so he executed a Forbidden Art out of desperation. In reality, he is a spent force. I just need to execute a Forbidden Art and revert to my ancestry. That will allow me to destroy him in one go.

In that case, I’ll cover you. I promise not to let you get injured before you succeed in executing your Forbidden Art.

With that, Chu Chaoyun fell silent. He bit his lip until blood flowed, recklessly draining his lifeforce as he pushed his Primal Chaos Great Dao to the utmost. Countless stars hurtled towards him without cease.

As the stars neared Chu Chaoyun, his Primal Chaos Great Dao pulverized them, warping space and forming a massive black hole.

Chu Chaoyun’s face drained of color. He unleashed a ferocious battle cry, relentlessly powering his Primal Chaos Great Dao while overdrawing his lifeforce without restraint.

The terrifying black hole halted the Black Dragon King’s advance.

Danger prickled at the Black Dragon King. Even in his current form, fear gripped him upon beholding the black hole that had devoured countless stars and twisted space. He detected the aura of Primal Chaos God Demons emanating from it.

Yet, sensing a growing menace from Xiao Chen, who had fused with Heavenly Slayer, the Black Dragon King knew he could not falter. He parted his jaws and spewed endless torrents of pitch-black destructive dragon flames at Chu Chaoyun.

The Black Dragon King sought to menace Chu Chaoyun with death, forcing him to cease the Primal Chaos Great Dao.

But Chu Chaoyun allowed the dragon flame waves to crash against his body, standing immovable as he sustained the Primal Chaos Great Dao.

“Dragon’s Gate Forbidden Art, Nine Heavens God Demon Body Unsealing Technique!”

“Boom!”

Xiao Chen’s eyes filled with bloodshot fury upon seeing Chu Chaoyun block the Black Dragon King’s assaults with his own body.

Anxiety and rage had long simmered within him.

Now, with the Forbidden Art’s completion, he roared forth. An ancient dragon’s roar echoed through the Starry Heavens.

Xiao Chen’s flesh writhed ceaselessly as he shifted into an ancient Azure Dragon. But that was merely the beginning. He pressed on with the Nine Heavens God Demon Body Unsealing Technique, seeking deeper ancestral reversion. As his mind verged on collapse, he finally became a Great Desolate Eon Ancestor Dragon.

The appearance of this primeval Great Desolate Eon Ancestor Dragon made hidden entities in the Starry Heavens’ depths quiver in terror.

Larger than the Black Dragon King’s frame, the Ancestor Dragon radiated even fiercer Dragon Might.

Fear blazed in the Black Dragon King’s eyes. Despite his resistance, the primal terror from his Dragon Race bloodline before an Ancestor Dragon overwhelmed him, sending him spinning away in panic.

The matchless Black Dragon King, who proclaimed himself the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao and devastation, escaped in terror.

“Thinking of escaping? Not a chance!”

Xiao Chen bellowed savagely, channeling the Heavenly Dao’s murderous aura manifested by Heavenly Slayer into his dragon claws.

“Pa!”

The Great Desolate Eon Ancestor Dragon swooped in and slammed a claw onto the Black Dragon King’s body.

The exhausted Black Dragon King let out a miserable shriek. His colossal frame rapidly disintegrated and burst apart in the Starry Heavens’ depths.

Following this blow, Xiao Chen’s mind plunged into disorder as the ancient Ancestor Dragon’s vast memories surged into his head.

Sensing his mind on the verge of bursting, he writhed in agony. His enormous body collided with stars, detonating them.

The backlash from the Forbidden Art struck. Without holding onto his awareness, Xiao Chen would never reclaim his true form. He’d stay trapped like this until his energy and bloodline were depleted, his mind and soul collapsed, leading to ultimate exhaustion and death.

Seeing the Ancestor Dragon go berserk immediately after slaying the Black Dragon King, Chu Chaoyun swiftly retreated.

Xiao Chen had almost hurt him.

“This...”

Chu Chaoyun’s brows furrowed slightly at the scene. Moments later, he clenched his teeth and ventured closer to the rampaging Ancestor Dragon Xiao Chen. Then, with his Soul Energy, he projected his voice, calling out to Xiao Chen and letting it reverberate endlessly in the Ancestor Dragon’s mind.

Chu Chaoyun sought to aid Xiao Chen in preserving his consciousness and avoiding total disarray.

After what felt like an eternity, just as despair began to grip Chu Chaoyun, a spark of clarity flickered in the Great Desolate Eon Ancestor Dragon’s eyes.

The wild aura radiating from the Ancestor Dragon gradually dissipated. Then, the immensely vast body contracted bit by bit and settled onto a star.

“You’re back at last,” Chu Chaoyun whispered, a joyful expression lighting up his face as he hurried after it.

Some seven minutes later, Chu Chaoyun touched down on a barren star. Spotting the completely drained Xiao Chen sprawled on the ground, he grinned and inquired, “Can you get up?”

“Since even you pulled through, of course I can stand.”

Xiao Chen rose with great effort. Gazing at Chu Chaoyun, he exhaled the breath he’d been holding. Luckily, this guy made it. Watching the Black Dragon King unleash destructive dragon flames on Chu Chaoyun had terrified Xiao Chen.

“I may not be dead yet...but I’m close.” Surprisingly, Chu Chaoyun’s next words left Xiao Chen momentarily stunned.

“What’s wrong? Hahaha! With your smarts, I figured you’d have seen it coming. Didn’t expect you to be so taken aback.”

Chu Chaoyun flashed a radiant smile while wiping blood from the corner of his mouth. His laughter rang out free and bright.

However, Xiao Chen could
