Chapter 1018: Chapter 899: Shocking Upheaval! (Repaying the 50 Owed)
Being cornered to the end of the road, Chen Daozang, in desperation, had no choice but to burn the Gang Qi Essence, hoping to eliminate Chu Xuanji in one fell swoop.
He knew very well that Yan had lost the ability to fight. As long as he dealt with Chu Xuanji, no one else in the world could stop him from overthrowing the global order, and he would establish the rules for the entire world!
After burning the Gang Qi Essence, Chen Daozang became extremely dangerous, his whole body resembling an awakened barbaric giant beast, exuding a soul-stirring aura.
Chu Xuanji showed no fear; he had almost stepped into the legendary domain. Only at this moment did he realize that despite just being a step away, the difference was like heaven and earth.
After Chen Daozang burned the Gang Qi Essence, although his power soared, his realm still had not reached the level that posed any threat to Chu Xuanji.
“Kill!”
Chen Daozang roared, his fist blazing with Punch Rays, aiming to tear apart the void, the violent Gang Qi roaring like a dragon!
Chu Xuanji’s face remained steady as water, facing Chen Daozang’s powerful attack, he simply swung his fist to meet him. If not for being in mid-air, Chu Xuanji would have looked just like a farmer returning from the fields without the slightest air of a strong person.
However—
Chu Xuanji’s punch, although lacking Punch Rays, exerted pressure from all directions towards Chen Daozang as if the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi were all mobilized by his punch.
This was something only Ye Fan’s second move, Azure Sky Overlord Blood from the Domineering Fist, could achieve, but in terms of power, the Domineering Fist paled in comparison.
Boom!
With a deafening sound, Chu Xuanji remained motionless, not even his clothes fluttered. In contrast, Chen Daozang’s fist dripped blood, his hand already cracked by the force.
Chen Daozang was utterly shocked, unable to believe what was before his eyes. He believed he was already quite demonic, able to reform so quickly and take that crucial half-step, overpowering a strong person like Yan, leaving no equal in the Cultivation World.
He did not expect that Chu Xuanji, originally thought to have fallen from grace by burning Gang Qi Essence and rumored to have died in a Forbidden Land, would appear!
What’s more, Chu Xuanji had nearly entered the legendary domain ahead of him, making this clash completely dishearten him.
He knew that even if he burned the Gang Qi Essence, he was still not a match for Chu Xuanji. Today, he was likely facing great danger.
Yet, as a hero of an era, would he willingly admit defeat?
Especially since losing this battle meant losing his life, it also meant the end of his meticulous planning for years!
“I don’t want to accept this… Ah!!”
Chen Daozang roared furiously, launching a series of killing moves, clearly opting for a desperate battle.
However—
The next moment.
Chen Daozang was terrified!
Because, Chu Xuanji seemed to be desperate too, disregarding his safety, his sole aim to kill the enemy. In this situation, Chen Daozang felt thoroughly stifled. Though he wished to kill Chu Xuanji, he did not want to perish with him.
With the ebb and flow of their efforts, coupled with Chen Daozang’s lower strength and realm than Chu Xuanji, within just half an hour, he was heavily injured. If not for his long-lasting Qi meridians and solid foundation, he would already have been defeated and fallen by now.
Chen Daozang was driven to madness with hatred, thinking that considering he had taken that crucial half-step and succeeded in crafting the Life Potion, the world was already in his grasp.
But things were going contrary to his wishes, as Chu Xuanji emerged halfway through, disrupting all his plans, forcing him to respond cautiously.
At this point, not to mention defeating Chu Xuanji, even escaping was impossible, Chu Xuanji’s spiritual energy had completely locked onto him, and every punch and palm attack seemed to carry a magical force, pushing pressure from all directions, leaving him no chance to flee.
“I hate it!!”
Once again, Chu Xuanji struck him with a sweeping punch, making Chen Daozang’s body rotate like a top for several turns before finally stabilizing, his cries echoing mournfully towards the sky.
“I refuse to accept this! Why is the heaven so biased? What did I do wrong? Why treat me this way??”
Chen Daozang was truly aggrieved. From start to finish, his strength was considerable, almost comparable to Chu Xuanji, but every move he made resulted in failure.
“Chen Daozang, you are insidious and deceitful, guilty of many unjust deeds; today, I shall clean the house—renegade disciple, prepare to die!” Chu Xuanji spoke with expressionless face, his killing intent chilling.
Taking Chen Daozang as a disciple was the biggest mistake he believed he made in his life; it was his softened heart that led to a series of subsequent events.
Therefore, Chu Xuanji was determined to kill this disciple who betrayed his master and went astray, to clean the house, and rid the world of this menace.
Chen Daozang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and with a sinister gaze fixed on Chu Xuanji, coldly said, “Old Bastard, we’ve already severed all ties long ago. From the moment you cast me out, I swore to take revenge in this lifetime. If you want to kill me, then come on!”
Chu Xuanji’s heart stirred; he knew Chen Daozang too well. This beast must have something to rely on, otherwise he wouldn’t be so fearless given the current situation.
Thinking of this, Chu Xuanji became more vigilant, launching a move, Qi Rushes to the Sky, fiercely towards Chen Daozang.
A punch went out, and the winds and clouds moved!
Chen Daozang felt as if endless pressure was squeezing him from all directions, even his Protective Gang Qi couldn’t withstand it.
Swoosh!
Chen Daozang gritted his teeth, gave a loud shout, and with difficulty, threw a punch. Then he shook his sleeve, sending an orange sphere hurtling towards Chu Xuanji’s face.
A gleam of light flashed in Chu Xuanji’s eyes. Not daring to take it head-on, he swept his sleeve, wrapping the orange sphere in Yin Energy and with a flick of his hand, sending it flying towards a distant mountain.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the orange sphere suddenly detonated, causing the mountain to shake and shatter.
Chu Xuanji’s heart trembled; he hadn’t expected Chen Daozang to have such a powerful weapon. Luckily, he was prepared, or else he wouldn’t escape severe injury, if not death.
Whoosh—
Taking advantage of the moment when Chu Xuanji was distracted, Chen Daozang maximized his speed, turning into a Flowing Light and using the Blood Escape Thousand Miles technique to flee in an instant.
Chu Xuanji raised his eyebrows, surprised that Chen Daozang would choose to flee instead of continuing the fight. Just as he was about to pursue, he suddenly sensed a spatial disturbance, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around him started to fluctuate violently!
This discovery made Chu Xuanji come to an abrupt halt, looking suspiciously in the direction of the spatial vibration.
This had never happened before. No one knew what such spatial fluctuations might imply, but Chu Xuanji had a vague ominous premonition. Although he couldn’t explain why, the feeling grew stronger and stronger.
Soon, the spatial vibrations intensified, not far from where they were. Chu Xuanji waved his hand, leading everyone toward the source of the fluctuation. No matter what happened, with so many strong people here, they should be able to handle it.
As soon as they arrived, the ground shook violently, as if an earthquake were occurring. Fortunately, all present were powerful cultivators, so even if it were an actual earthquake, they wouldn’t be afraid.
With the intensification of the tremors, there was a thunderous cracking sound as a massive chasm opened in the ground ahead. A golden Light Gate instantly appeared, spewing forth massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
“This is…”
Everyone was dumbfounded. Could this also be a Holy Land sealed by ancient strong people? Because so many strong people gathered here, did the battle between Chu Xuanji and Chen Daozang trigger some kind of Forbidden that caused this sealed place to reappear in the world?
In the distance, Ye Fan also saw this scene. Although he was quite a distance away, the Light Gate was so large that he could see it clearly even from afar.
Seeing the Light Gate appear, Ye Fan instantly had an ominous premonition. He felt that this Light Gate was very much like the barrier between Earth and the Xuan Realm being broken.
Although Earth itself still had some ancient sealed places that retained a relatively primitive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, compared to the Xuan Realm, it was like a minor display versus a grand spectacle.
As the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi gushed out, everyone was astonished. Such a rich concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi had never been seen before.
Even in places like the Beihai Holy Land, where Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi leaked from a sealed Holy Land, it wasn’t as concentrated as it was here.
Roar—
With the sounds of mutant beasts roaring coming from the Light Gate, everyone’s faces changed dramatically. No one expected that the roars of mutant beasts would emerge from the Light Gate.
At that moment, a massive mutant beast leaped out of the Light Gate, followed by a horde of mutant beasts rushing out in succession.
“This is?”
Ye Fan was shocked. This scene was very familiar to him, as if he’d seen it somewhere before, only without the mutant beasts that time.
Suddenly, Ye Fan recalled where he’d witnessed such a magnificent scene before.
Mount Tian, the Nameless Canyon, where Elder Xuan had once blasted open a seal. Although it was only temporary, the scene was deeply imprinted in Ye Fan’s heart!
