Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Breakthrough

The battle is extremely intense.

As strong as Murong Lingyun, possessing the Half-Step Emperor Realm cultivation, he is now facing the encirclement of nine Peak Great Saints, and for a moment, he cannot gain any advantage.

The nine individuals are attacking from different directions; continuously deploying various awe-inspiring methods, using Martial Techniques that are extremely rare and do not exist in this era.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In the midst of the battle, Ji Chen also rushed into it, holding the Purple Ink Halberd and the Emperor’s Shield in both hands, charging at Murong Lingyun, aiming to suppress him together with the nine Peak Great Saints.

Additionally, Ji Chen continuously activates the Killing Array, evolving endless Sword Aura and terrifying seas of fire, relentlessly attacking Murong Lingyun.

There is no intention to give the opponent any chance to breathe.

"Bang!"

But Murong Lingyun, after all, is a formidable figure with Half-Step Emperor Realm strength, his power must not be underestimated.

Even though he is teaming up with nine Peak Great Saints, Ji Chen still cannot gain much advantage.

They are repeatedly pushed back but remain unharmed; after adjusting their stance, they continue to encircle Murong Lingyun.

Such a repeated battle has lasted a long time.

The states of both sides have weakened over time.

By now, blood has been seeping from Ji Chen’s mouth; he has been hit multiple times directly by Murong Lingyun’s terrifying techniques, and even with the Emperor’s Shield and Emperor Armor protection, he has suffered some injuries.

But similarly, Murong Lingyun is not having an easy time.

Under the continuous fierce assault by Ji Chen and the nine Peak Great Saints, Murong Lingyun’s state has visibly deteriorated.

By now, his face has turned even paler.

Moreover, it’s felt that his internal Spiritual Power consumption is massive; if this continues to be delayed, he will inevitably be exhausted to death in mid-air.

"Kill!"

Ji Chen fiercely attacks, pressing the advantage, leaving Murong Lingyun no chance to breathe.

After blocking an attack from the opponent with the Emperor’s Shield, he thrusts the Purple Ink Halberd straight at Murong Lingyun’s vital spot.

Under this Halberd strike, Murong Lingyun is forced to retreat, with the terrifying Power of the Dao causing him to cough blood repeatedly.

By now, Murong Lingyun has completely fallen into disadvantage, facing the encirclement from Ji Chen and the nine Peak Great Saints, he can only defend passively, with no extra time to counterattack.

Although Ji Chen’s attack is not fatal to him, the longer this drags on, the more unfavorable it becomes.

"Bang!"

After being repelled once more, Murong Lingyun finally considers retreating in his mind.

At this moment, his brows furrowed, his expression becoming somewhat solemn, clearly not wanting to continue consuming here with Ji Chen, otherwise, there might truly be a risk to his life.

"Swish!"

Thinking like this, he no longer hesitates, turning around and swiftly trying to flee into the void at a distance.

"Do you think you can escape?"

Ji Chen snorted coldly, striding close.

This region has long been sealed by his Grand Array, even with Murong Lingyun’s Half-Step Emperor Realm strength, breaking the array to escape would take considerable time.

"Boom!"

Murong Lingyun ignored Ji Chen’s words, during the rapid movement, his palm suddenly thrust forward.

Just felt the space tremble, a Void Hand emerged, fiercely striking the edge of the Killing Array’s barrier.

Unfortunately, although the Void Hand was terrifying, it could not destroy the array’s barrier in one blow, but it did create a crack.

"Boom!"

At the same time, Ji Chen and the nine Peak Great Saints attacked, various terrifying methods being deployed in unison, continuously pressing down on Murong Lingyun.

"Bang!"

Once again, he was sent flying, finally coughing up blood.

"Boom!"

But Murong Lingyun clearly had no intention of engaging in a prolonged battle with them; he attacked again and again against the array’s barrier, trying to destroy it at the fastest speed so he could leave here and return with vengeance in the future.

All around Donglin City, in the surrounding mountains, everyone watching could not help but click their tongues.

Who could have imagined that the final result of this battle would evolve to this extent.

Faced with Ji Chen’s various methods, by now, Murong Lingyun can only temporarily avoid the sharp edges and try to retreat.

This is a formidable figure with Half-Step Emperor Realm strength, unexpectedly forced by Ji Chen to such a degree, clearly surprising everyone.

"Didn’t you boast about killing me? Why can you only flee in panic now?"

Ji Chen’s cold laugh came from behind, making Murong Lingyun’s face turn much uglier.

"You are indeed strong, but to kill me is absolutely impossible, Ji Chen, today I will leave, and you cannot stop me."

After a cold snort, Murong Lingyun struck the array barrier again, the terrifying Void Hand descended, and the barrier in front, which had already been cracked, was thoroughly shattered, revealing a gap.

Murong Lingyun coldly laughed, glanced back at Ji Chen, "Next time we meet, I will surely kill you!"

"Do you really think you can leave?"

Ji Chen’s gaze was icy, and as soon as his words fell, suddenly, this piece of void started to tremble unsettlingly.

Instantly, the whole world darkened considerably, dark clouds rolling, directly covering this void.

"Boom boom boom..."

The roar of thunder rang out, originating from the rolling sea of clouds above, accompanied by a terrifying tribulation force, continuously pressing down.

"What’s going on?"

This sudden change stunned everyone around, their eyes all turning toward the high sky.

"Celestial Tribulation!"

Someone exclaimed in shock, seemingly realizing something.

Murong Lingyun’s expression also changed, looking at Ji Chen, he couldn’t help but ask, "Celestial Tribulation? You are merely at the Nirvana Realm Seventh Layer, how can you summon a Celestial Tribulation?"

In the world’s cognition, at the Nirvana Realm Level, except for when breaking through to the Great Saint Realm, there is a Celestial Tribulation; other small realm breakthroughs do not have a Celestial Tribulation.

"Very surprised?"

Ji Chen sneered, "Indeed, if I broke through from Nirvana Realm Seventh Layer to the Eighth Realm, it wouldn’t draw a Celestial Tribulation, but if I continuously break through two realms, that’s another matter."

"Two realms?"

Murong Lingyun frowned more deeply, then showed shock on his face, "Are you trying to break through directly from Nirvana Realm Seventh Layer to Nirvana Realm Ninth Layer?!"

Continuously breaking through two small realms, if that’s the case, it might indeed summon a Celestial Tribulation.

But such a thing has rarely ever occurred from ancient times till now.

It should be known, once cultivation reaches the Nirvana Realm level, any small realm breakthrough is extremely difficult; almost nobody can simultaneously break through two small realms.
