Chapter 78: The Death of Lu Yun

[A/N: We reached the Tier 2 weekly milestone this week! 🎉 I’ll be posting 5 bonus Chapters over the next 3 days. Today, I’ll start with 2 bonus Chapters!]

"System, use the True Domain Realm First Level Experience Card for me!"

[Ding! The host has consumed one True Domain Realm First Level Experience Card. Remaining duration: two hours.]

A majestic Aura, far surpassing the Mountain Sea Realm and even towering over the Myriad Manifestations Realm, suddenly awakened like a slumbering ancient Vicious Beast, erupting with Lu Yun as its center.

Boom!

An invisible wave of Qi swept out, and the gravel on the ground was crushed into powder by this Aura.

A powerful pressure enveloped the scene, making everyone feel as if a giant boulder was pressing down on their hearts, making it difficult to breathe.

"What’s going on? I feel like I can’t breathe."

"This Aura is the True Domain Realm, definitely the True Domain Realm."

"My god! How can he be a True Domain Realm expert? Isn’t he at the First Level of the Myriad Manifestations Realm?"

"Cheating! Did the people from the Fengyun Holy Land give him an Empowerment? Even cramming at the last minute shouldn’t be like this."

"It’s over, it’s all over. Senior Brother Chen is in danger. Peak Myriad Manifestations Realm against the True Domain Realm—how can they even fight? There’s a massive chasm between them."

The onlookers instantly exploded into an uproar, their previous admiration and awe immediately replaced by shock.

Their faces turned pale as they looked at Lu Yun, whose Aura was surging, as if they were looking at a monster.

"Hahaha! Good! Excellent!"

The Red-Faced Elder of the Fengyun Holy Land slapped his thigh hard, the red glow on his excited face becoming even more intense.

"The True Domain Realm! Lu Yun was hiding it well. Let’s see how you, Primordial Holy Land, can remain so arrogant now."

The Thin and Tall Elder also immediately perked up, laughing sarcastically:

"Tsk tsk, who was it just now that said our Lu Yun’s Divine Body was a fake? Does your face hurt now?"

"A mere Mountain Sea Realm is nothing but clay chickens and dogs before a true True Domain Realm."

Holy Master Xuan Yun breathed a sigh of relief, a smile of certain victory returning to his face.

Stroking his short beard, he slowly said to the solemn-faced Xuan Jingru,

"Brother Xuan Jingru, it seems luck is still on the side of my Fengyun Holy Land."

"It’s normal for a junior to have some Opportunities; surely you won’t hold a grudge over this?"

"Of course, if that kid surrenders now, there’s still time to save his life."

The smiles on the faces of the two Elders from the Primordial Holy Land froze completely, as if someone had grabbed them by the throat.

"True Domain Realm? How is this possible?" one Elder stammered, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The other Elder’s face was ashen as he muttered, "We’re in trouble, real trouble now. No matter how strong Chen Chuan is, the gap in cultivation is just too large."

They seemed to have already envisioned the scene of Chen Chuan’s defeat or even his death.

The excitement they had just felt from finally being able to hold their heads high vanished, replaced only by a deep sense of helplessness.

Ji Siyu, who had been closely watching the battle, now had a pale face, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

She could no longer hold back, her clear voice ringing out with urgency: "Chen Chuan, don’t fight anymore! He will kill you!"

This voice was like a splash of cold water into boiling oil, instantly attracting Lu Yun’s attention.

His cold gaze swept toward Ji Siyu, and he was momentarily stunned.

Then, a surge of hatred and killing intent originating from the depths of his Soul erupted.

"It’s you! That bitch! You’ve actually been Reincarnated here as well."

Lu Yun’s gaze instantly became incredibly terrifying, as if he wanted to devour Ji Siyu alive.

Chen Chuan keenly captured the monstrous killing intent in Lu Yun’s eyes directed at Ji Siyu.

His heart sank, and then a bone-chilling killing intent erupted from his heart like a volcano.

Originally, he only intended to use the Eternal Curse to make this guy so unlucky that even drinking cold water would get stuck in his teeth.

But now, he had changed his mind.

This Reincarnated God Emperor was not only a potential threat but also harbored killing intent toward someone he cared about.

Clearly, Ji Siyu and Lu Yun were enemies in their previous lives.

He cannot be allowed to live!

He must die!

"System," Chen Chuan said coldly in his mind, "purchase the True Domain Realm First Level Experience Card!"

[Ding! One million gold tickets consumed. Successfully purchased one True Domain Realm First Level Experience Card. Remaining duration: ten minutes.]

Ten minutes is enough!

Meanwhile, Lu Yun was already laughing wildly in the arena, once again condensing Spiritual Fire.

Supported by the majestic spiritual power of the True Domain Realm, the newly formed dual-colored fire lotus was larger and its colors deeper.

The destructive energy contained within it caused space itself to let out an overwhelmed groan. The terrifying fluctuations made the onlookers’ scalps tingle, and they retreated repeatedly.

"Chen Chuan! Let’s see how you block this time?"

Lu Yun, looking like a madman, violently pushed the heart-palpitating fire lotus in his hand toward Chen Chuan.

However, facing this certain-kill blow, Chen Chuan smiled.

That smile carried a hint of playfulness and nine parts coldness.

"Playing with fire? What a coincidence, I can do that too."

Under the stunned gazes of everyone.

In the palm of Chen Chuan’s left hand, with a puff, a cluster of dark and deep black flames ignited—the Nine Nether Soul Devouring Flame.

In the palm of his right hand, the pure and holy Pure Karma Sacred Fire, which burns away all worldly filth, rose once again.

Then, as if the crowd had seen a ghost, Chen Chuan slowly brought his hands together. Those two wildly different and extremely violent Spiritual Fires...

...actually began to rotate and blend in his hands following a mysterious trajectory, as docile as lambs.

In the blink of an eye, a dual-colored fire lotus, larger than Lu Yun’s, with clearer colors and even more terrifying and shocking energy fluctuations, appeared in Chen Chuan’s palm.

Around this fire lotus, Chaos Qi swirled, and the faint sound of a Dragon’s roar could be heard.

The destructive Concept it radiated even caused several Elders on the high platform to change their expressions drastically.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The wild laughter on Lu Yun’s face instantly froze, replaced by boundless terror and disbelief.

His eyes nearly popped out. "How can you do it too? How can you have two kinds of Spiritual Fire? And even be able to perform a Fusion?"

He could not accept this outcome.

The onlookers were completely numb.

"My—my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, are they? Senior Brother Chen can do it too?"

"And it looks like Senior Brother Chen’s fire lotus is even more badass?"

"Today’s show is just too exciting. Twist after twist, my heart can’t take it."

The smiles on the faces of the Fengyun Holy Land Elders froze once again, as if they had all been hit by a paralysis spell.

Holy Master Xuan Yun suddenly stood up, his face looking extremely ugly.

After a brief moment of shock, the Elders of the Primordial Holy Land almost shed tears of joy. "Hahaha! Heaven blesses my Taichu!"

Without any unnecessary words, Chen Chuan threw the dual-colored fire lotus in his hand to meet Lu Yun’s menacing one.

Rumble!

As if two stars had collided.

An unprecedented, world-shaking explosion echoed through the clouds, and a blinding light instantly swallowed everything.

The violent energy storm, like an unleashed primeval Vicious Beast, frantically tore at everything around it.

The barrier set up by the Elders shook violently, its light flickering as if it might break at any moment.

The terrifying shockwave even caused the surrounding buildings to tremble slightly.

Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes or used their sleeves to block the blinding light and energy storm.

When the sky-filling firelight and the raging energy finally dissipated slowly, a huge deep pit appeared on the ground, scorched black and emitting wisps of smoke.

At the edge of the pit, Chen Chuan’s clothes were torn and his Aura was somewhat disordered, but he was otherwise unharmed.

His gaze remained sharp, and his body remained upright.

On the other side of the pit, Lu Yun lay limp on the ground like a dead dog, his body scorched black and smoking, dying, without even the strength to move a finger.

The winner had been decided!

However, just as everyone was still immersed in the world-destroying clash and hadn’t come back to their senses, Chen Chuan moved.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, his spiritual power surged, and his figure shot out like a phantom, instantly crossing the pit to arrive before the charcoal-like Lu Yun.

His fist, covered in Dragon scales and wrapped in residual flames, descended without any hesitation, carrying a cold killing intent.

"Junior, how dare you!"

Holy Master Xuan Yun’s eyes nearly split with rage as he shouted in fury.

Pfft!

The fist accurately pierced through Lu Yun’s chest, shattering his heart.

At the same time, Chen Chuan secretly circulated his Cultivation Technique, frantically absorbing the Origin power from Lu Yun’s body that came from the Chaos Divine Body.

Lu Yun’s body trembled violently, his eyes wide with endless resentment, unwillingness, and disbelief.

He hadn’t expected Chen Chuan to actually kill him, and he had no possibility of resisting.

Finally, the light in his face faded completely.

This Reincarnated God Emperor, the Child of Destiny with a System, ultimately fell here, becoming a stepping stone on Chen Chuan’s path to the Peak.

At this moment, the entire scene was dead silent!
