Chapter 241: Entering the Connate Realm (13)

The saber did not move before Wang Yi did. However, just its overflowing saber qi had already torn through the void and distorted the world.

The three powers instantly fused into one and flowed like water, directly supporting the blade.

“Slash!”

Wang Yi held the saber with both hands, his gaze calm. He suddenly let out a long roar and slashed out with the heavenly saber.

The saber beam was dazzling and carried invincible divine might.

However, Wang Yi did not even turn around. He sheathed his saber and simply rushed into the World Passage.

Why did Wang Yi run away?

Don’t be ridiculous… Was he supposed to stay and wait to be attacked?

After shattering the scarlet circular crystal, the World Passage would close and the experts of the other world would descend. If he still stayed here, he would simply be attacked!

Crack!

As soon as Wang Yi returned to Cang City and before he could stabilize himself, the saber beam had already struck the scarlet circular crystal.

Perhaps it was because Wang Yi’s strike had the power of a True Immortal, or perhaps it was because the scarlet circular crystal had reached its limit.

Wang Yi’s attack was no longer as futile as before. When the saber beam slashed down, the scarlet crystal shattered and turned into strands of light that dissipated into the world.

The world shook, the mountains and rivers swayed, and the sun, moon, and stars rotated.

This moment was like the beginning of a disaster or the end of the world.

Rumble!

The scarlet altar shook. Cang City shook. The two worlds shook.

Wang Yi’s judgment was not wrong at all. The scarlet circular crystal was the source of the World Passage’s power.

The moment it shattered, the World Passage rapidly collapsed.

When Wang Yi saw this, he revealed a look of lingering fear. It had really been too close.

If he had been any slower, he might not have been able to return now.

The World Passage collapsed very quickly. In an instant, 99% of it had disappeared.

However, in the next moment, Wang Yi’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

Through the remaining gap in the World Passage, he saw a terrifying figure that was 100,000 feet tall descend on the scarlet altar.

It was unknown what unfathomable realm that figure was in, nor did Wang Yi know what invincible combat strength it possessed.

As its aura fluctuated, the world changed color, while space and the void distorted. Even time was affected and entered a special eternal state.

The figure seemed to be very angry. Its fists erupted with invincible power. The rules and principles of the world circled around its fists, ignoring space and distance. Then, it instantly smashed into the World Passage in a way that surpassed the understanding of the world.

Fortunately, the last crack finally disappeared at this critical moment, and the World Passage completely closed.

Boom!

Even so, the aftershock of the figure’s power still affected this world.

It was as if a Level-18 earthquake had been set off. Cang City became akin to a small boat in a storm. It looked so powerless amidst the tremors.

Wang Yi and Venerable Ning Jing’s expressions instantly changed when they saw this. The two of them did not communicate at all, but they had an extremely tacit understanding.

Their spiritual power erupted and surged out of their spiritual space, instantly covering the entire Cang City.

Fortunately, these two supreme powerhouses were present and they were fast enough.

Under the envelopment of their spiritual power, they managed to protect everyone without any casualties.

However, the aftershock was still too powerful. The attack method was too unbelievable, and the explosion was too sudden.

In their haste, they could only prioritize protecting the living beings. As for the houses and buildings, they could only leave them for later.

The outcome wasn’t great. Cang City had just been rebuilt, but more than half of the buildings were in ruins again.

Only then did the two of them heave a long sigh of relief. Venerable Ning Jing patted her chest and said with lingering fear, “That was really dangerous!”

Wang Yi nodded repeatedly and said in agreement, “It was indeed a little dangerous.”

Venerable Ning Jing looked at Lord Wu Qing, who was imprisoned in the red cage among the ruins.

Suddenly, she recalled the World Passage from before and the Essence-Realm expert who was killed. She couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Fellow Daoist Wang, were they members of the Yang God Race?”

To be honest, Venerable Ning Jing was also a little confused.

It didn’t seem like the Yang God Race was on the other side of the World Passage. With her Venerable-Realm eyesight, she could tell that there was something wrong with those people’s bodies.

It was as if their bodies had been tempered by the Heaven and Earth Furnace. They were so powerful and terrifying that it could even be said that they completely focused on their physical bodies. They were very different from the spiritual power-focused Yang God Race.

But if they weren’t members of the Yang God Race, it wouldn’t make sense.

After all, the World Passage was still here just now. There was no doubt that the other side was a different world, and the only powerful enemy the humans faced was the Yang God Race.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed again.

There was a Heavenly Tribulation!

He could vaguely sense that a Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend. It wanted to sharpen and test him, a newly advanced Connate-Realm spirit.

Only then did Wang Yi realize that he could not be considered to have completely entered the Connate Realm.

Only by surviving the Heavenly Tribulation in front of him and surviving the test and baptism of the world could he completely step into the Connate Realm and transform into a Connate lifeform.

Wang Yi was not sure how powerful his Heavenly Tribulation was, but he could imagine that it would definitely be a disaster.

A single bolt of lightning was probably enough to destroy the entire Cang City and kill millions of living beings in it.

“This person is not a member of the Yang God Race. I’ll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Ning Jing to pry open his mouth.”

“My Heavenly Tribulation is about to arrive. I have to leave immediately.”

“Farewell!”

Without any hesitation or time to explain, Wang Yi simply opened a spatial passageway and instantly disappeared from Cang City.

Venerable Ning Jing nodded slightly. She picked up the red cage in the corner and also disappeared.

As for the aftermath of Cang City, Fang Yuan and the others would naturally take over and deal with it.

In the endless wilderness, above a swamp, light particles suddenly rotated at high speed, and a figure walked out of a spatial passageway.

Wang Yi looked into the distance and could not help but feel surprised. This place was really familiar. It was actually the swamp where he had obtained the ancient tea tree and the Forbidden Stone.

As far as the eye could see, there were swamps everywhere while low bushes grew sporadically. The place where the Forbidden Stone was originally hidden was in a mess. The huge pit that was hundreds of meters deep had not disappeared.

To be honest, Wang Yi was really a little surprised. At that time, the Heavenly Tribulation was about to arrive and the situation was too urgent. Thus, he randomly opened a spatial passageway. Who would have thought that he would eventually end up here?

He had originally planned to make a trip here when he had time. This saved him a lot of trouble. He could just investigate directly after transcending the tribulation.

As for whether he would fail the tribulation, this was not within Wang Yi’s consideration.

Thunderclouds rumbled in the sky, and scarlet tribulation clouds gathered. The entire swamp was instantly dyed red.
