Chapter 2460 - 2150: How Could a Spirit Martial Artist of the King Realm Emerge in This Place?!

Lu Chen employed only Heavenly Realm swordsmanship, but wielding it with his King Realm strength was enough to subdue a Spirit Martial Artist at the early Heavenly Realm.

Seeing Lu Chen swing his sword, outwardly it seemed devoid of any Sword Evil, Qiu Baichuan realized the danger of Lu Chen’s strike.

Without hesitation, he immediately produced a talisman, tossing it before him, and then infused spiritual evil into the talisman to activate it.

In the next moment, a golden light barrier appeared before him, shielding him.

Immediately afterward, he watched helplessly as the fist aura he had unleashed dissipated instantaneously.

The next moment, images from his childhood appeared before his eyes.

The scenes flickered and vanished rapidly, then he saw Yelv Nanyan again, as if he were in the wedding chamber with her.

But at that instant, he abruptly awoke, yet it was too late—his soul was racked with intense pain, as if it were being cleaved in two.

The Golden Light Talisman he used could counter physical attacks but was powerless against soul-level harm.

Realizing he was near death, Qiu Baichuan cried out, "No, you can’t kill me, I am..."

Before he finished speaking, his lifeless body fell gently from the sky.

Witnessing Qiu Baichuan’s sudden demise, fear gripped all the Sky Wolf Palace disciples present.

"Brother Qiu is dead? How is this possible? Brother Qiu was a Heavenly Realm, how could he die so easily?"

"No, something is wrong with this person’s aura, he is not Heavenly Realm, he is King Realm!!!"

"How could a King Realm Spirit Martial Artist possibly arise in such a place!!!"

In an instant, the disciples of Sky Wolf Palace were dumbfounded, especially Yelv Nanyan.

She stood, bewildered, staring incredulously at Lu Chen.

According to the information she obtained, Lu Chen had broken through to the Heavenly Realm less than two years ago; how could he advance to the King Realm in such a short time?

What kind of joke is this? Even if Lu Chen acquired an ancient inheritance from ancient ruins, it shouldn’t be possible to leap a major realm in such a brief period!

It’s merely an ancient inheritance, not direct empowerment.

Why?

Behind Lu Chen, what kind of backing or foundation does he possess to enable him to become a King Realm strong person so swiftly?

This is trouble.

If Lu Chen were only late-stage Heavenly Realm, they might still contend relying on magic treasures.

But against a King Realm, they as Heavenly Realm have no chance of victory, only the prospect of fleeing for their lives.

Yelv Nanyan, coming to her senses, rushed toward Qiu Baichuan’s corpse.

The Primordial Pearl remained on Qiu Baichuan’s body; as long as she acquired it and activated its power, she could temporarily wield King Realm strength. Even if she couldn’t defeat Lu Chen, she could escape from him.

Moreover, such a treasure as the Primordial Pearl must not fall into Lu Chen’s hands; it’s her exclusive magic treasure, and without it, her power would be greatly diminished upon returning to Sky Wolf Palace, adversely affecting her status.

Seeing Yelv Nanyan suddenly darting toward Qiu Baichuan’s body, Lu Chen was momentarily caught off guard, unsure what she intended to do.

Could it be Yelv Nanyan feared he’d destroy Qiu Baichuan’s body?

As Lu Chen mulled over the confusion, he suddenly sensed a trace of mysterious power emanate from Qiu Baichuan’s corpse.

Lu Chen seemed to understand something, so he promptly extracted the Rebirth Stone.

Just as he speculated, upon producing the Rebirth Stone, it emitted a vibrant rainbow glow, with a beam linking to Qiu Baichuan’s corpse.

Obviously, Qiu Baichuan also carried the Ancestor of the Strange’s Memory Pearl.

Yelv Nanyan wasn’t after Qiu Baichuan’s corpse itself; her objective was the Memory Pearl on his body.

Understanding the situation, Lu Chen’s figure flickered, next moment finding himself blocking Yelv Nanyan’s path.

Then, Lu Chen’s aura fully unleashed, a terrifying pressure immobilizing Yelv Nanyan.

Lu Chen raised his hand, and Qiu Baichuan’s body propelled toward him.

Thereafter, Lu Chen employed spiritual evil to locate and retrieve the Memory Pearl from Qiu Baichuan’s body, causing Yelv Nanyan’s expression to dramatically change as he obtained the Primordial Pearl.

Yelv Nanyan hurriedly spurred her internal spiritual evil, trying to break free from Lu Chen’s oppressive control.

No matter her struggle, the pressure steadfastly bound her, preventing movement.

With no alternative, Yelv Nanyan took out an Instant Movement Talisman, intending to flee.

Although the Primordial Pearl fell to Lu Chen, the immediate priority was escaping, as long as she lived, someday she’d reclaim the Primordial Pearl.

As Yelv Nanyan’s body began to vanish, Lu Chen’s lips curved subtly.

He then raised his other hand, and instantly, a mass of yellow earth flew toward Yelv Nanyan, enlarging rapidly to envelop her, forming a sphere of soil.

Yelv Nanyan promptly activated the Instant Movement Talisman at hand, colliding with the earthen wall upon igniting the talisman paper.

Momentarily dumbstruck, Yelv Nanyan realized her plight—she too had fallen into Lu Chen’s grasp.

Yelv Nanyan immediately infused all her internal spiritual evil, then repeatedly slashed at the walls formed by Heavenly Tribulation Soil, attempting to breach them, but regardless of her efforts, the inner surface of the soil merely shed dust, no cracks appeared.

Ultimately, Yelv Nanyan conceded defeat, understanding she couldn’t escape.

Meanwhile, other Sky Wolf Palace Heavenly Realm members saw Qiu Baichuan dead, and Saintess Yelv Nanyan imprisoned. They recognized the tide had turned; even collectively, they were no match for the King Realm Lu Chen. With no hesitation, they fled directly to the distance.

Observing their retreating figures, Lu Chen chuckled softly.

Previously, under the activation of Instant Movement Talismans, he couldn’t pursue them; after all, they were also Heavenly Realm, coupled with the talisman paper’s force, their speed far exceeded his.

But now he’s a King Realm, encompassing all of Dazhou in his perception; these individuals attempting escape is akin to a fool’s delusion.

Lu Chen immediately channeled spiritual evil into his longsword and swung the sword anew: "Drunken Dream Thousand Years Slash!"

An invisible Sword Evil burst forth once more, momentarily followed by a fall of multiple Heavenly Realm strong persons’ corpses through the sky.

Witnessing this scene, other Sky Wolf Palace members trembled with fear, paralyzed—they dared neither flee nor remain.

With their Heavenly Realm slain utterly, they, these below-Heavenly-Realm Spirit Martial Artists, lacked any resistance; the opponent could easily smite them, their only hope being mercy spared.

One Sky Wolf Palace disciple perceptively knelt, prostrating, and implored: "Spare my life, senior, I am willing to swear allegiance to the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Where one led, others followed—the second, the third...

Soon, other Sky Wolf Palace disciples knelt too, seeking affiliation with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Naturally, they inwardly harbored no genuine intent to pledge loyalty to the Great Zhou Dynasty—it was mere self-preservation.

They contemplated internally: if they could survive until the restriction vanished, and whether elders of Sky Wolf Palace emerged in this world, they’d be rescued.
