Chapter 423: Celestial Venerable Returns to the Mortal World

Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Celestial Venerable Returns to the Mortal World

After Qin Xuan withdrew from Longnan City, Divine River City lost all contact from that side.

But after that, as the Yu Realm launched a massive attack, cities across the Desolate Realm fell and have now retreated entirely into Divine River City.

Thus, it is evident that Longnan City must have long been overwhelmed, and it is hard to believe that Ji Chen, who stayed behind alone, could survive there.

Therefore, Ji Chen’s sudden appearance now naturally astonished the Celestial Saint Venerable and others.

"Hundred Victories Marshal Ji Chen?"

"He isn’t dead?"

Even the people from the Yu Realm, upon recognizing Ji Chen, couldn’t help but frown.

During this period, although the Yu Realm focused on Divine River City, upon learning that Ji Chen was defending Longnan City alone, they frequently sent forces to attack.

Logically speaking, facing the constant sieges by an army, even if Ji Chen had supreme skills, it would be impossible for him to defend successfully.

Many Yu Realm cultivators had assumed he must have perished within Longnan City long ago.

Yet now, the fact shows that Ji Chen not only survived but also returned to reinforce Divine River City!

"How could a mere junior from the Desolate Realm disrupt our army’s morale? Capture him swiftly, reward fifty thousand battle merits for killing Ji Chen!"

The Purple Emperor snorted coldly; the moment Ji Chen appeared, many from the Yu Realm had visibly wavered.

Clearly, during a previous incident at Donglin City, Ji Chen wreaked havoc, causing many Yu Realm cultivators to fear even hearing his name.

More importantly, during the battle at Donglin City, not only did Ji Chen defeat Murong Lingyun, but he also escaped unscathed in front of the Purple Emperor.

This angered the Purple Emperor; seeing him again now, he couldn’t possibly allow Ji Chen to remain alive.

"Kill!"

At his command, a series of roars erupted, and many Yu Realm cultivators reddened their eyes, surrounded Ji Chen like a swarm of locusts, covering the skies, leaving no gaps.

"Courting death!"

However, faced with such a scenario, Ji Chen was utterly fearless.

Nowadays, he was no longer the same; not only had his cultivation reached the peak of the Nirvana Realm, but he also absorbed the Immortal Format, enhancing his battle power by several levels.

Ji Chen wasn’t being arrogant; under the Ancient Emperor Realm, he dared to claim no one as a match.

Moreover, with the Immortal Format within providing continuous power, he even felt capable of wrestling with a Quasi-Emperor realm figure!

"Kill!"

With a cold shout, Ji Chen wielded the Purple Ink Halberd from his hand.

The dark light flashed, like a Scythe of Death descending from the sky, sweeping and erasing masses of Yu Realm cultivators into dust.

Holding the Emperor’s Halberd, he charged through the battleground, as courageous as a celestial god.

In just a short moment, tens of thousands of Yu Realm cultivators were slain by him, his battle merits exceptional, his feats stunning.

"His strength has increased quite a bit!"

The Celestial Saint Venerable and others observed the distant void battle, their faces couldn’t help showing astonishment.

They could keenly sense that compared to when Ji Chen first went to Longnan City, his aura now was vastly stronger.

Even Qin Wenchang felt alarmed; the aura Ji Chen exuded now was already comparable to his own!

What did Ji Chen experience after going to Longnan City that allowed him such tremendous growth in just a month?

"Kill!"

Ji Chen fought bloodily, as if within an empty realm, anyone targeted by him was killed, without exception, dying under his Purple Ink Halberd.

Such a scene lifted the morale of the Desolate Realm.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a tremendous energy wave emitted from the high sky in the distance.

The Purple Emperor already locked his gaze on Ji Chen, eyes full of murderous intent about to strike personally.

"Intercept him!"

The Celestial Saint Venerable shouted coldly, then along with several Venerable Supremes, simultaneously moved, all wielding Great Dao Ancestor Artifacts to press forward.

Faced with the constant fierce attack from the Great Dao Ancestor Artifacts, the Purple Emperor dared not show any contempt, having to face it earnestly.

"Buzz!"

However, besides the Purple Emperor, the Yu Realm also had two Ancient Emperor-level experts present.

Almost when the Purple Emperor was restrained, Emperor Qing couldn’t help but act, his eyes locked on Ji Chen’s Purple Ink Halberd, showing a hint of greed, then approaching with big strides.

"Swish!"

But at that moment, a flash of light darted, a figure swiftly flew over, in a blink blocking Emperor Qing’s path.

"You think you alone can stop me?"

Emperor Qing showed disdain as he already recognized that the one blocking him was none other than Qin Wenchang.

Though the opponent was known as the Venerable Supreme of the Desolate Realm, ultimately he only possessed peak Nirvana Realm cultivation; even wielding a Great Dao Ancestor Artifact, alone he surely couldn’t stop him.

"Then let me show you the true foundation of the Desolate Realm!"

Qin Wenchang snorted coldly, his eyes becoming sharp, as if his entire demeanor changed at that moment.

In full view, he bit through the tip of his tongue, a strand of golden blood sacrificed, radiating dazzling brilliance, like a bright sun hanging in the sky.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The space trembled, clouds surged, in the air, an astonishing power of the Dao spread, as if some terrifying entity was on the verge of awakening.

At this moment, everyone saw behind Qin Wenchang, a vague figure emerging.

The figure seemed thin but incredibly tall and majestic, its demeanor in the world bringing an immense oppressing sensation.

"Celestial Venerable Qin!"

Someone exclaimed, first to react naturally were those from the Qin Family in the city.

They clearly recognized the figure; it was none other than the Emperor Ancestor of the Qin family, the Celestial Venerable Qin, Qin Zhihai!

"A figure from a million years ago isn’t dead?"

"Celestial Venerable reappearing in the world, did he foresee the Yu Realm’s second invasion?"

Within Divine River City, many couldn’t help but kneel on the spot, chanting the name of the Celestial Venerable, faces all extremely excited.

"It’s not the Celestial Venerable himself; this is Venerable Qin summoning a strand of Celestial Venerable’s will using his Original Essence Blood!" an elder-level expert said.

"Great Emperor?!"

Facing Qin Zhihai’s appearance, even someone as powerful as Emperor Qing couldn’t help but change expression.

He could feel the terrifying aura exuding from the opponent.

This person in life must have been a Great Emperor Realm existence; now, even if just a strand of intent manifested, its threat couldn’t be underestimated!
