Chapter 208: First Stage, Thousand Layers! Wang Teng, Qin Yu, and Xu Fenglai Join the Battle! (Part 2)
However, the issue lay in finding someone with such exceptional abilities who had reached this level of cultivation.
Take herself, for instance; she was a spiritual entity with the potential to reach the ninth realm! As long as she wasn't restricted...
Therefore, to fight beyond one's realm and surpass oneself, even by a single stage, was an incredibly difficult feat.
Similarly, enhancing her combat prowess beyond her current realm was an equally challenging endeavor.
But now, with her burst of power, she could already contend with an eighth-realm cultivator at the eighth stage, a true powerhouse! She had already surpassed her realm!
She even utilized her artifacts in battle.
Yet, she was being suppressed by a first-stage cultivator, bare-handed and empty-handed!
This was heaven-defying!
If this wasn't heaven-defying, then what was?
At this moment, she couldn't help but question everything.
"A first-stage cultivator can be this heaven-defying?"
"How did she manage to open over a thousand mystic gates?"
"Is she even human?!"
Amidst countless doubts and moments of existential crisis, Princess Liuyue found herself in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, countless others were left in awe, and their interest in Ji Chitong intensified!
The fact that a first-stage cultivator possessed such formidable power meant that she was no ordinary person.
If they could also open so many mystic gates, how powerful would they be?
Even if they couldn't cultivate further, this secret art was invaluable. Whether it was for sale or to pass down to their descendants and juniors, it was an incredible asset.
However...
While it was true that possessing a treasure could invite trouble, Ji Chitong's demonstrated strength proved that she had the capability to protect this 'jade'.
It was a bit tricky.
...
On the other side.
The Tyrant Female Emperor drew closer to the Imperial City.
Another figure appeared.
Their strength surpassed that of Princess Liuyue.
This person was an elderly man, ancient and frail, who at first glance seemed on the verge of passing away.
But upon closer inspection, one would discover his youthful appearance and vibrant spirit.
He sat on the ground, staring at the Tyrant Female Emperor, and said, "Do you know why my clan hasn't rushed to kill you?"
Another one?
The Tyrant Female Emperor replied, "I don't care to know, nor am I curious."
"On the contrary, I'm curious as to how many heaven's elites you've hunted and how much of their essence blood you've consumed to achieve the strength of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty?"
"As expected!"
The old man's heart was filled with hidden annoyance, but he maintained a stoic expression and said, "That's because only by fighting you one-on-one and slaying you can we showcase our clan's demeanor and strength."
The Tyrant Female Emperor: "..."
"You people always talk to yourselves and don't care what others say."
"You're a bit too full of yourselves."
The old man: "..."
Do you really think I want to?
As a member of the royal family and one of the top experts of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, countless eyes are upon me, upon us!
I have to put on an act, don't I?
How can I, as a royal, behave like a wild barbarian, shouting and charging into battle at the first sight of each other? Moreover, I must be cautious in my conversation, trying to conceal the cruel truth.
But you just blurted it out?
How dare you!
If this were to be proven true, even with the strength of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, we would face numerous troubles.
This won't do; we can't continue this conversation.
He stood up, his eyes lowered. "Nonsense."
"Your strength is not bad."
"Your companions are barely passable."
"But if these are your last words, I'll grant your wish."
The Tyrant Female Emperor was speechless.
She really didn't want to waste time talking.
If it weren't for the fact that she needed a little more time to master the final secret art, she would have already lost her patience and taken action. But now, it was almost time.
"It doesn't make much difference whether we fight and learn at the same time."
She exhaled, slowly raising her hand, but...
...
She glanced warily behind her.
The old man was taken aback and followed her gaze.
"What is she looking at?"
He was puzzled and cautious.
Clearly, there was nothing behind her, whether seen with the naked eye or sensed with divine perception, yet she turned to look, revealing a clear weakness!
But...
Even with the old man's caution and the use of various means, including contacting other members of his clan, nothing was found.
Not a single person.
And no abnormalities whatsoever!
"..."
The old man's face twitched slightly, and he was speechless.
He even felt foolish for falling for such a trick?
Just then, the Tyrant Female Emperor slowly turned her head, relieved.
This scene left the old man even more perplexed.
"Playing tricks!"
He scoffed.
The Tyrant Female Emperor ignored him.
She secretly thought, thankfully, no one else had come.
Otherwise...
If someone else had come and put themselves at risk because of her, how could she live with herself?
Just as she was about to take the initiative to attack, the offensive she had been brewing was interrupted by a familiar voice from behind: "Senior Sister, why didn't you call me for such a good thing?"
The Tyrant Female Emperor's body stiffened.
The delicate flower in her hand slowly withered, and a wry smile appeared.
"Junior Brother..."
"You really came."
She turned around.
But instead of one, there were four figures standing there.
"It's not just him~"
Qin Yu stepped forward, ready for battle.
Wang Teng grinned and joined them, saying, "Moreover, he's not the junior brother anymore. This one is."
"Senior Sister, this is the tenth disciple of our master, Xu Fenglai."
Xu Fenglai took a step forward, and the three of them stood side by side, blocking the Tyrant Female Emperor.
The Tyrant Female Emperor blinked: "A new junior brother?"
"And who is this?"
She pointed at Old Huang and Jian Jiuhuang.
---
Translation:
"Ahem, I'm just an old servant of the Crown Prince."
"..." Old Huang chuckled, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth.
After the battle at the Imperial City, he had exhausted his nine swords and nearly died. Although he had recovered from his injuries, his cultivation had significantly declined, barely reaching the eighth realm. Without a fortuitous opportunity, he would struggle to make further progress in this lifetime.
Fortunately, despite the drop in cultivation, the intense ups and downs had resolved his inner conflicts. As a result, his sword techniques and sword intent had become even purer and more formidable.
"Phew, phew."
The Tyrant lightly patted his chest, "I thought you, at your age, were also my junior brother."
"If that's the case, it would be embarrassing."
Old Huang: "..."
"Ahem, ahem."
He coughed forcefully.
Indeed, this was quite embarrassing.
"Enough!"
The elder continued to keep his gaze lowered, "One after another, one after another, when will you all... ever stop?"
"How many more are there? Come out together."
"Old man, I'll take them all on at once."
He was brimming with confidence.
In his eyes, even if these people were as freakish as that first realm woman, he could handle them all!
After all, he was at the peak of the eighth realm's ninth stage, a formidable powerhouse! Even across the entire Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, he could rank within the top five!
"We don't know how many more there are."
"We only represent ourselves."
Wang Teng waved his hand, "If you want to fight, we'll naturally oblige."
"But, Senior, you've lived for so many years. Surely you haven't lived in vain? And you're too strong; we're not as talented as the other senior brothers and sisters, so our strength is slightly weaker."
"So..."
"Prepare for four of us to challenge you alone. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"
"Hahaha!"
"Good, four of us challenging you alone."
"It's not just four, even forty or four hundred, what's the difference?"
He burst into laughter, "Introduce yourselves!"
"I don't kill nameless people!"
Jian Jiuhuang was taken aback, then grinned, "What a coincidence, my name is Nameless."
"You, an esteemed senior at the ninth stage of the eighth realm, must keep your word! You can't kill me."
Elder: "(⊙o⊙) ..."
You motherfucker! He was so furious that his glabella was protruding.
He was almost losing control and going crazy.
"Ahem, Old Huang, that's enough."
Just at this moment, Old Huang's clansmen delivered the intelligence about Old Huang and Xu Fenglai. The elder snorted, "The Four Directions Immortal Dynasty's Sword, Jian Jiuhuang?"
"Not long ago, you dared to challenge the so-called second in the world, even fighting to the death. When I heard about this, I respected your courage; you're a real man."
"But now, I'm deeply disappointed. You're not as impressive as I'd heard."
Old Huang helplessly spread his hands, "Hey."
The elder then turned to Xu Fenglai, "The Four Directions Immortal Dynasty's Xu Wangfu's crown prince, Xu Fenglai?"
"No, no."
Xu Fenglai shook his head.
The elder was about to scold these master and servant for being shameless and not admitting their identities, but then he saw Xu Fenglai standing tall with his chest puffed out. "A direct disciple of the Moon Embrace Sect."
"Xu Fenglai."
At the same time, Wang Teng continued, "A direct disciple of the Moon Embrace Sect—Wang Teng."
Qin Yu smiled slightly, "A direct disciple of the Moon Embrace Sect—Qin Yu."
"Senior, although we've just met, but..."
"Junior and the others seek guidance from you."
"Today, we'll not only determine the victor but also decide life and death."
"Good, good, another one from the Moon Embrace Sect."
The elder's brain was throbbing with rage.
A once-declined Moon Embrace Sect had one after another produced so many peerless geniuses?
Each one was so young, yet their cultivation was remarkable, and their demeanor was extraordinary...
If he didn't destroy this Moon Embrace Sect, they would surely become a formidable force in the future, one that even the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty might struggle to suppress!
Fortunately, they had come to their own demise, exposing themselves early and appearing before the elder. Since it was so... today, he would send them all on their way!
He immediately took action, and with a wave of his hand, he seemed to embrace the heavens and earth. In an instant, the world changed, as if the entire world had transformed. But in the blink of an eye, they found themselves in another world!
Wang Teng and the others, along with the Tyrant, were all present.
At the same time, the elder appeared.
"Here, I am the god. Since you want to challenge me one-on-one, come at me!"
He hid himself and immediately launched an attack.
"Be careful!"
Xu Fenglai stepped forward, and the golden yellow palace between his eyebrows shone as he slashed out with a sword.
Boom!!!
The elder was hit, and his hidden figure reappeared, staring at Xu Fenglai with slightly furrowed brows, "This kid is a bit strange. How did he discover my presence?"
He was puzzled.
Wasn't this kid at the sixth realm?
At that moment, Qin Yu disappeared.
The elder sneered, "Within my domain, you still dare to assassinate me? Ridiculous!"
He was most proficient in assassination techniques.
In the past, as the 'shadow' of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, how many times had he carried out such tasks?
Moreover, to prevent exposure and ensure secrecy, he had spent a significant price, combining a treasure with a secret technique to create this domain.
Everything within the domain was under his control, and to a certain extent, he could even deceive the heavens!
Now, within his domain, someone dared to hide and launch a sneak attack?
Wasn't this a joke?
He immediately decided to teach this kid a lesson, to show him why the flowers were so red.
But then, his expression changed to one of surprise, and for a moment, he was shocked.
"He... disappeared?"
"I can't sense him?"
"This is impossible!"
He had complete control over the domain. Even a speck of dust, or something a thousand or ten thousand times smaller than dust, couldn't escape his control. How could someone in hiding escape his grasp?
But at this moment...
He had used all means, yet he didn't know where that kid had gone? He even contacted other powerful beings, asking if they had seen the kid escaping.
(The rest of the text is not provided, so I cannot continue the translation.)
In his opinion, even if the other party escaped, it would be better than being invisible and untraceable within his own domain. At least, it wouldn't be as terrifying.
But...
The answer is no!
Qin Yu did not leave, he was still within the domain.
He was still there!
But where was the person?!
The elder's smile froze, and for a moment, he felt a stinging pain on his old face.
Just as he was about to show off, he failed!
Who should he complain to?
"..."
Before he could shift his focus, he suddenly felt a terrifying wave of heat approaching.
Then...
Wang Teng made his move!
"Your domain is indeed remarkable, and I'm quite interested in fighting you within this domain to see the extent of your abilities and broaden my horizons."
He sighed, "However, my junior sister has matters to attend to, and I can't afford to be trapped here by you."
"So, I'll just break it."
As they spoke, the Artificial Sun flew out of his hand.
"Ridiculous."
Although the elder was surprised by the incredible energy fluctuations within the Artificial Sun, he wasn't worried and didn't fear it. Instead, he scoffed, "A Sixth Realm cultivator dares to break my domain?"
"If my domain can be broken by a mere Sixth Realm cultivator like you, then all my years of cultivation have been in vain."
"Oh."
Wang Teng smirked.
"Then perhaps your cultivation has indeed been in vain."
BOOM!!!
At that moment, the Artificial Sun exploded.
The elder waved his hand.
The domain trembled!
He effortlessly suppressed the explosion's impact.
Clearly, the Artificial Sun's impact wasn't significant compared to Wang Teng's cultivation level, at least not enough to cause concern.
But right after, the elder's expression changed!
The intense explosion couldn't 'disperse', it was contained within an extremely small space, causing it to become even more violent... Although the elder could still suppress the surging impact, he couldn't handle the heat!
The temperature, which was already at a scorching two hundred and fifty million degrees, suddenly soared to over two hundred and fifty million degrees.
The night sky world trembled, and the domain rippled, constantly undulating.
"What?!"
The elder was stunned! He could block the explosion, and it didn't seem too taxing, but who had ever seen such an incredible temperature?!
He couldn't block it!
The domain...
Couldn't block it either!
Bang!
Finally, the night sky exploded, turning into countless stars that scattered across the sky...
It seemed slow.
In reality, it only took two sentences.
From the perspective of the onlookers, as the elder waved his hand, everyone disappeared.
Two seconds later, they reappeared.
A scorching heat spread rapidly, and the elder's expression turned ugly, filled with disbelief, anger, and murderous intent.
"Very well, you've done well."
"Dare to break my domain..."
His heart ached, and in an instant, he launched an endless barrage of attacks, like a terrifying tidal wave, sweeping towards them.
At that very moment!
The vanished Qin Yu reappeared.
In just an instant, a dagger slashed across the elder's neck.
"I've been prepared for you!"
The elder's expression remained unchanged, and his neck... fell off! The dagger was ineffective, and Qin Yu was forced to retreat.
Wang Teng was speechless.
This old guy had actually detached his own neck! He held it in his hand like it was a melon!
Then, his head returned to its place, and they faced the dense and terrifying onslaught.
He quickly gathered his strength for a second Artificial Sun punch.
"Break!!!"
Xu Fenglai's glabella shone with the Great Yellow Palace, and he mustered all his strength to slash with his sword. However, he only managed to break through a few attacks, and the rest continued to howl towards them.
"I'll take care of it, I'll take care of it."
Lao Huang sighed.
After further consideration, he realized he didn't have a sword in his hand, which put him at a disadvantage.
So, imitating Li Jian Shen's style, he formed a sword with one hand and drove his sword path to the extreme, filling the sky with sword intent that rang out.
The city reverberated with the resonance of countless swords.
The sword's roar shook the heavens.
"Sword... come!"
He roared.
He wanted to borrow the city's swords to fight the elder. Although it was a bit challenging, with some effort, he should be able to manage.
Moreover, by doing this, wouldn't his prestige be established?!
With a sword's call, the city's flying swords trembled. Almost all flying swords below the Eighth Realm lost control and unsheathed themselves.
Just as these swords were about to surge forward, a cold hum echoed throughout the city.
"These swords won't come!"
BOOM!
The grand flow of energy was overwhelming.
The pressure was immense.
An even more powerful and terrifying sword path aura spread, causing Jian Jiuhuang's borrowed flying swords to tremble and freeze in midair.
Lao Huang's expression changed slightly.
At that moment, the voice spoke again: "Return to your sheaths!"
Hah...
Countless swords flew back, returning to their sheaths.
Jian Jiuhuang's face turned red with frustration.
"Damn it!"
"There's someone stronger than me in sword arts within this city."
Damn!
He wanted to curse.
So infuriating! He had tried to act tough, but he had failed miserably.
He could only use his own Mystic Essence Energy to gather flying swords to counter the elder's onslaught while quietly retracting his sword hand, pretending nothing had happened.
But...
It was truly embarrassing!
He even clenched his toes! If he had known, he wouldn't have tried to act so tough.
Damn it, without Li Jian Shen's level, it was easy to get slapped down...
He finally understood why he had only seen Li Jian Shen play like this in his entire life.
Because others couldn't pull it off!
It was indeed easy to get slapped down!
Not to mention borrowing the city's swords, he couldn't even borrow a single sword!
