Chapter 401: Chifeng City Lord

Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Chifeng City Lord

"Boom..."

A thunderous sound erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth.

The entire land trembled at this moment, affecting an area nearly a thousand miles in radius.

In the distance, mountains collapsed, the ground cracked, revealing lines of fractures, extending endlessly.

The whole world was permeated with an astonishing aura of the Great Dao, as if completely engulfing the human realm.

"Puff!"

Under Ji Chen’s halberd strike, although the City Defense Array of Chifeng City was still not broken, many cultivators within the city were impacted by that terrifying energy, coughing up blood on the spot.

Some with weaker cultivation even fainted directly.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Terrorizing power struck down repeatedly, causing the City Defense Array to tremble incessantly.

Almost every strike caused numerous cultivators in the city to be affected, either injured and coughing blood or fainting on the spot. ℴ

Countless people were terrified, feeling uneasy.

They never imagined that deep within the Yu Realm Battle Realm, there would be cultivators from the Desolate Realm appearing here, attacking the city with a Daoist Emperor’s Weapon.

At this moment, if the City Defense Array truly were broken by Ji Chen, no one would doubt that they are all destined to die here today.

"Is there truly no one who can stop him?"

"The Hundred Victories Marquis of the Desolate Realm... No wonder the Emperor Marshal issued a kill order with a reward of two hundred thousand battle merits; such strength indeed shouldn’t be underestimated!"

Many frowned, gritting their teeth, yet their hearts were still panicking.

This feeling almost drove them to despair.

As if they were lambs waiting to be slaughtered in someone else’s hands, their lives hanging by a thread.

"Where is the City Lord? Why hasn’t he shown up?"

"If the City Lord makes a move, surely he can take this person down!"

Someone spoke up.

"It’s said that half a month ago, the City Lord went into seclusion to break through to Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer. Who knows how he’s doing now?"

"If he doesn’t show up soon, the City Defense Array might really not hold..."

Such discussions arose within Chifeng City.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Meanwhile, Ji Chen, holding the Daoist Emperor’s Weapon, continued attacking the City Defense Array of Chifeng City.

By now, the entire array was shaking wildly, seemingly on the brink of being shattered at any moment.

"Crack!"

Finally, after hundreds of attacks, a sound of rupture echoed clearly into everyone’s ears.

Soon they saw that the City Defense Array of Chifeng City, after another strike by Ji Chen, finally experienced irreversible collapse.

The golden barrier surrounding the ancient city shattered at this moment, much like a huge mirror, completely broken.

"It’s over!"

Witnessing this scene, many in Chifeng City showed faces of despair.

"Kill!"

Yet Ji Chen ignored their thoughts.

At the moment of breaking the city, his eyes flashed coldly, filled with killing intent, gripping the Daoist Emperor’s Weapon, he dashed into the city.

"Boom!"

Black light blazed, terrifying energy waves swept over the sky of Chifeng City; a thunderous sound erupted, deafening.

Only to see Ji Chen wave the Emperor’s Halberd, with waves of formidable power of the Dao condensing, like a mountain, pressing down on Chifeng City.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, cries of misery echoed.

Within the city, countless cultivators died at that moment, becoming spirits beneath Ji Chen’s Emperor’s Halberd.

Hundreds were slain instantly, blood rain scattered across the sky, as if dyeing the heavens red.

"Boom!"

Ji Chen struck again, his eyes indifferent, like an emotionless god of death, unleashing a massacre with the Emperor’s Halberd.

In just the span of a dozen breaths, he continued waving the Emperor’s Halberd; cultivators dying beneath his halberd increased exponentially.

"Don’t kill me, I don’t want to die!"

Someone cried out loudly, utterly desperate.

However, facing these cries, Ji Chen showed no mercy.

In his view, the Yu Realm, as the invading faction initiating the Immortal Ancient War, anyone present on this battlefield from the Yu Realm was far from innocent, deserving of death.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

He wielded the Emperor’s Halberd, black light slicing down one after another, like the world-ending Scythe of Death, each halberd slashing down, erasing hundreds to thousands of Yu Realm cultivators into ashes on the spot.

"Zip!"

Numerous figures flew towards the distance, trying to escape the city.

Yet Ji Chen had no intention of letting them go, sweeping the Emperor’s Halberd towards the distant sky, annihilating all the fleeing Yu Realm cultivators between heaven and earth.

"Buzz!"

Eventually, none knew how long had passed.

In Chifeng City, almost all structures had collapsed, reduced to ruins, a sea of corpses and blood, the bodies of countless Yu Realm cultivators piled into mountains, dead numbering tens of thousands at least, less than a third remained.

At this moment, an astonishing aura suddenly emerged, enveloping the land, making the void darken.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, held the Emperor’s Halberd, and scanned towards a certain direction deep within Chifeng City.

"Zip!"

Only to see a figure leap out from there, rising to the sky, standing opposite Ji Chen, separated by a distance of nearly a hundred meters.

This was a middle-aged man, clad in a purple battle robe, the Chief General of the city, City Lord Yan Wushuang!

"Finally forced you out, haven’t I?"

Ji Chen looked far ahead, locking eyes with Yan Wushuang.

Even before entering the city, he had scanned Chifeng City with his Divine Thought, detecting Yan Wushuang’s presence, knowing he was the strongest cultivator within the city; judging from the aura emanating from him now, it wasn’t hard to see, Yan Wushuang’s cultivation likely had just broken through to Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer!

"You’ve got guts, daring to attack my Chifeng City alone, and actually accomplished it."

Yan Wushuang stood in the air, his battle robe fluttering in the wind, filled with coldness in his eyes, confronting Ji Chen, "Despite being young, your strength has reached such levels; killing you is indeed a waste."

At this point, he paused slightly before speaking again, "I offer you a chance, if you surrender now, subject yourself to my Yu Realm, today, you may live; as long as you are willing to serve my Yu Realm, in the future, there’s a place for you even in this vast Desolate Realm."

"How confident you are."

Listening to his words, Ji Chen smirked disdainfully, raised his head to meet his gaze, then continued, "However, thinking you can make me surrender, I fear you don’t have that ability yet."
