Chapter 454: Chapter 452: Shatter

Along the way,

Patriarch Ouyang hadn’t actually spoken much with Shen Changchuan.

He couldn’t say he knew him well.

At best, they were merely acquaintances.

But Patriarch Ouyang had a vague premonition that Shen Changchuan could pose a lethal threat to him!

This feeling came from a Cultivator’s Spiritual Sense.

Although there was little logic behind it,

Patriarch Ouyang believed it without a shadow of a doubt!

After all,

this young man before him, at only the Soul Emergence Seventh Layer,

had managed to catch the eye of a genius like Jian Wuheng, and the two had conversed happily the entire journey.

If you said he didn’t have some real ability,

no one would believe you!

’For such a peerless prodigy to appear in this era... Perhaps the Tian Nan Domain is finally beginning to recover after that great war three hundred years ago...’

’I wonder if I, too, might be able to use this opportunity to ascend to the Divine Travel Realm someday.’

A glint flashed in the depths of Patriarch Ouyang’s eyes

as he thought to himself.

According to legend,

the great war that destroyed the Xiangshan Sect three hundred years ago involved several Profound Pill Realm Zhenren. As they annihilated the Xiangshan Sect, they also shattered the very destiny of the Tian Nan Domain’s Immortal Cultivation Realm.

As a result, for the next three hundred years,

no one in the Tian Nan Domain was able to ascend to the Divine Travel Realm.

Even if someone did manage to ascend during this period,

it was only because they had a fortuitous encounter while adventuring in the outside world and successfully broke through there.

Could this young man

be a sign that the Tian Nan Domain was finally recovering...?

In the span of a single breath,

several thoughts had already flashed through Patriarch Ouyang’s mind.

But he had lived for over a century, and his thoughts ran deep. Naturally, he would not let his inner turmoil show on his face.

"My young friend, if you’ll excuse me. I’m going to deal with the enemy. We can talk more after!"

Ahead, in Heaven’s End Valley,

the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Demon Cultivator had already charged out.

Patriarch Ouyang had no time for more words with Shen Changchuan. Leaving that one sentence behind, he transformed into a streak of light and shot out to meet the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Demon Cultivator.

BOOM!!!

A terrifying collision erupted.

The battle between the two Ninth Layer Cultivators was earth-shattering,

so powerful that the very sky began to tremble violently!

The Soul Emergence Realm Cultivators from both the Righteous and Demonic Sides, who were fighting nearby, were all affected.

They had no choice but to retreat and get clear.

However, the two didn’t linger for long. During their exchange, they consciously charged up into the cloud-shrouded heights of the sky.

Just as Jian Wuheng and the previous Demon Cultivator had done.

As their figures vanished into the sky,

the immense pressure they had been exerting disappeared.

The fluctuations from the battle above were also concealed by the mysterious black mist.

Everything in the surroundings calmed down.

The cultivators from both the Righteous and Demonic Sides let out a slight sigh of relief.

The might of a Soul Emergence Ninth Layer expert was simply too terrifying!

This was the strongest tier of power below the Divine Travel Realm, and the aftershocks of their clash were enough to affect everyone else.

Even the slightest carelessness could result in death from the stray shockwaves!

But this brief lull didn’t last long.

"Kill!"

The war cries rose again,

and the brutal slaughter erupted once more!

Terrifying Magic capable of shattering mountains and splitting cliffs collided, setting off violent explosions.

The sky for ten miles around was filled with a murderous aura.

The very air seemed to boil!

However,

with their strongest fighter lured away,

the morale of the Demon Cultivators

plummeted once more.

Clearly,

they no longer had another Soul Emergence Ninth Layer expert to deal with Shen Changchuan.

"Li Changzun, your backup has been dealt with! Why don’t you surrender now?!"

As the great battle raged,

Gu Xuanqing, with a casual wave of his hand, unleashed a majestic sword light. The immense power suppressed his enemy as he bellowed at Patriarch Li opposite him.

"Hmph! You’re the ones who should be surrendering!"

Li Changzun snorted coldly,

his expression turning ugly.

Clearly, Patriarch Ouyang’s appearance had been unexpected.

However,

this wasn’t his only preparation!

’You insidious, shameless scoundrels of the Righteous Dao! Good thing I came prepared!’

As his curse faded,

On another side of the battlefield,

"Shen Changchuan, we three brothers are here to take your head!"

Just then,

three figures of differing heights and builds burst through the dense clouds of Heaven’s End Valley. They arrived in unison, charging straight for Shen Changchuan!

Their auras seemed to vaguely merge into one, becoming indistinguishable from each other!

A formidable presence locked down the sky.

A Black Sun Wheel appeared between the three of them, pulling in the surrounding air and forming a massive vortex.

It was unknown what method the three used,

but they had combined their individual Magical Power into one to launch this terrifying attack!

The aura emanating from the Black Sun Wheel was in no way inferior to that of a Soul Emergence Ninth Layer expert!

For a moment,

the gazes of both the Righteous and Demonic Sides focused on this spot once again!

"Hm?! This is bad!"

Seeing this,

Gu Xuanqing’s heart skipped a beat.

He couldn’t help but feel anxious.

If Shen Changchuan died here, there would be huge trouble!

However,

in his moment of anxiety,

an opening was revealed.

Li Changzun, on the other side, instantly seized the opportunity and pressed his advantage relentlessly.

Gu Xuanqing was suppressed, forced back step by step.

’Dammit!’

’I hope Changchuan can hold on!’

Gu Xuanqing gritted his teeth and barely held his ground,

unable to break away and provide support.

’Wuheng’s evaluation of Shen Changchuan was extremely high. He shouldn’t be in any real danger.’

The situation had taken a sharp downturn.

Gu Xuanqing focused all his energy on his opponent, able only to console himself with such thoughts.

But the worry in his heart only grew stronger.

’In the end, we were still too careless!’

’I never imagined the Demonic Alliance would be so bold as to station two Soul Emergence Ninth Layer experts here.’

’Aren’t they afraid that the experts of the Divine Travel Realm will intervene?’

’After all, two Soul Emergence Ninth Layer experts, along with a considerable number of Soul Emergence Realm Demon Cultivators, should be enough to warrant intervention from the major figures of the Divine Travel Realm!’

And although this was a strategic chokepoint,

ever since the Broken Soul Mountain Range fell,

this area had become part of the rear, far from the Demonic Alliance in the Nanyue Kingdom. It was practically worthless.

As his heart filled with worry,

Gu Xuanqing truly couldn’t understand

why this was happening!

...

"Oh, is that so?"

The battle and worries on Gu Xuanqing’s side didn’t affect the situation here in the slightest.

Facing the terrifying Black Sun Wheel attack head-on, Shen Changchuan’s expression remained placid.

These three appeared to have cultivated some kind of Combined Secret Technique.

It allowed them to unleash power at the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Level.

’But...’

’If my opponent was a single person, a true Soul Emergence Ninth Layer expert,’

’then I would find this quite troublesome.’

’But three people?’

’The flaw is far too great!’

BOOM!

A majestic aura erupted from his body like a mountain flood, and the surrounding air began to boil like water.

At the same time, an infinitely sharp Sword Momentum rose up.

The aura lock from the Black Sun Wheel was instantly shattered by Shen Changchuan!

And that wasn’t all.

Shen Changchuan formed a sword with his fingers,

raised his hand, and slashed through the void.

Cyan Wood Cloud-piercing Sword!
