Chapter 384: Celestial Desolator

Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Celestial Desolator

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The collision of two Emperor’s Weapons stirred the heavens and earth, causing the void to tremble with unrest.

In Divine River City, some with weaker Cultivations, unable to withstand the presence of such momentum, couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood at this moment.

The two sides were ready for battle, as if a world-shattering war could break out at any moment.

"Gentlemen, please calm down."

Just at this critical juncture, from a certain direction in the void, a faint voice was heard.

All eyes turned to see a figure in purple garb step forward from thin air.

It was a middle-aged man, standing with his hands behind his back, appearing in everyone’s sight.

"The war is imminent; whatever grievances you have, please let them rest for now."

The middle-aged man spoke to mediate; he was none other than the Qin Family’s Patriarch Qin Wenchang, one of the Venerable Supreme of the current era.

"Ji Chen killed so many people from the Song Family. If the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion cannot give an explanation today, I won’t hesitate to have the Daoist Emperor’s Weapon clash just to obliterate him here." Song Daoran was clearly unwilling to concede.

"Afraid of you?"

The Celestial Saint Venerable snorted coldly, the Linglong Tower in his hand radiating an even more dazzling divine light.

Zhao Yuan retreated a hundred zhang away, clearly not wanting to be implicated.

This, of course, didn’t mean he would spare Ji Chen.

"Whose fault this is, everyone is aware. Ji Chen acquired the Emperor’s Halberd, yet the Song and Zhao Families sought to seize it from him. That is the main reason."

Qin Wenchang spoke, his gaze sweeping over both sides, finally fixed on Ji Chen, "The Song and Zhao Families were wrong first, but you shouldn’t have killed so many people."

After speaking, he pondered for a while, as if considering something, "Let’s do this, the wrongdoing of the Song and Zhao Families, your killing of so many of them also offsets, but your crime remains. I sentence you to guard ’Longnan City’; do you have any objections?"

"Longnan City?"

Upon hearing these words, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.

In this Immortal Ancient War, outside Divine River City are the Ten Great Ancient Cities, of which Longnan City is one.

The Ten Great Ancient Cities are truly the front lines, and when war erupts, they will be the first to bear the brunt.

Among the Ten Great Ancient Cities, Longnan City is absolutely the most treacherous place, almost deep within the Yu Realm Territory, with battles occurring daily.

Many say of those who venture to Longnan City, very few, less than one in ten, ever return alive.

"Impossible!"

The Celestial Saint Venerable furrowed his brows and immediately spoke, "Sending him to Longnan City is akin to sending him to his death."

Qin Wenchang didn’t speak, silent for a moment before looking at Ji Chen, "Longnan City is considered a place of death, but it is also a great place for training. All who return alive from there are full of fortunes."

"You have Great Saint Realm Cultivation; going to Longnan City is not impossible. I grant you the identity of ’Celestial Desolator’, where you need not obey anyone’s commands."

Celestial Desolator!

A special identity.

It’s said that of everyone preparing for battle in Divine River City, only a dozen or so have received the Celestial Desolator identity.

And these dozen or so, each one is a first-class warrior, not obliged to obey anyone’s commands.

To capture an enemy general amidst an army, is often something only a Celestial Desolator can accomplish.

"I’ll go."

Ji Chen locked eyes with Qin Wenchang, and after a moment of silence, finally spoke.

"Buzz!"

Qin Wenchang said nothing, simply waved his large hand, and at once, Ji Chen was enveloped by a glow.

When the light subsided, everyone could see he was already clad in Silver Battle Armor.

This is the symbol of Celestial Desolator!

"This is Celestial Desolate Sacred Armor, possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities, not to be worn by non-Celestial Desolators," Qin Wenchang said.

Ji Chen was surprised, feeling the extraordinary nature of the armor, surrounded by the Sacred Rhyme of the Great Dao, it was a Treasure Robe at the Saint Artifact Level.

"Do you have any objections?"

Qin Wenchang turned his gaze to Zhao Yuan and Song Daoran.

The two remained silent, clearly satisfied with Qin Wenchang’s decision.

As Venerable Supreme of the current era, they know better than anyone else what kind of place Longnan City is.

Going there, Ji Chen’s chance of returning alive is extremely low.

"Tomorrow, you shall set off," Qin Wenchang shifted his gaze back to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen slightly cupped his fists at him, without speaking, ultimately returning to the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion with the Celestial Saint Venerable.

"Foolish, a dangerous place like Longnan City, going there is almost surely not coming back alive, you should have refused earlier," lamented the Yellow Dragon Saint Venerable and others.

But now that it’s come to this, saying anything is pointless.

"Never mind."

Ji Chen shrugged nonchalantly, "As Venerable Qin said, Longnan City, though a death place, also holds opportunities. If I cannot return alive, it means it’s my fate; moreover, what I need most now is opportunity."

"Although..."

The Celestial Saint Venerable also seemed concerned, gazing at Ji Chen, "I hope you can seek your own fortune. Also, lately, I’ve found some rumors relating to the Immortal Realm."

"It’s said that the ancient path to the Immortal Realm might be in the direction of Longnan City."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen slightly squinted his eyes, then couldn’t help but smile, "In that case, me going to Longnan City is the right decision."

...

Night fell.

In Leisure Cloud Residence, Ji Chen, clad in Silver Armor, looked like a Divine General.

Huang Shuying, Ning Bufan, and others came to see him off.

Everyone drank and chatted all night, until they were thoroughly drunk, urging Ji Chen to take care, finally departing.

"Rumble..."

In the distant void, as dawn broke, Ji Chen was just waking from his drunken stupor when suddenly, a deafening noise reached his ears.

He squinted his eyes, looking far into the distance.

Just to see the surrounding void of Divine River City trembling uncontrollably in that moment.

"Boom!"

Soon after, a melodious sound of war drums resonated, echoing throughout Divine River City.

"The war, is it finally here..."

This is the signal for battle, indicating that the Boundary Wall that links the Desolate and Yu Realms has shattered, and now connects together.

After millions of years, the war has arrived once again!

"Swish!"

At the same time, in Divine River City, numerous figures rose up, all flying outside the city.

These people, like Ji Chen, have their own missions, to go to the front lines, guarding the Ten Great Ancient Cities.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, without hesitating.

He walked out of Leisure Cloud Residence, then stepped forward, his whole body also rising into the air, heading outside Divine River City, towards the direction of Longnan City.
