Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor
Chapter 295 - 267: Absolute Death TrapChapter 295: Chapter 267: Absolute Death Trap
Outside Juejian Mountain.
With a Heavy Saber on his back, Jin Chaoheng stared coldly at the night sky.
Besides him, three other Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivators stood like gods and demons, each occupying a different direction. Behind each of them stood dozens of other Cultivators—monks, Daoists, men, and women, all different from one another.
The only thing they had in common was the thick Evil Qi emanating from their bodies.
"It’s already midnight, but Wu Qianhai still hasn’t arrived."
Jin Chaoheng lowered his gaze, his deep voice filled with doubt. "He’s not one to be late. Could something have held him up...?"
"Should we wait?"
Gu Xingkong, who was dressed like a Confucian scholar, looked impassively at the others.
He was the ancestor of the Gu Family. Tonight, he had answered the call for the Five Races to join forces and was leading his clansmen to besiege Juejian Mountain. Thus, those he brought with him were the fiercest and most skilled warriors of his clan.
"We’re not waiting!"
Lu Hongtai, the most hot-tempered of the group, looking like a martial artist from the common world, waved his hand dismissively and barked:
"Delays breed complications!"
"Chen Yin and Meng Qianxun are both cunning and vigilant. If we alert the enemy, we’ll lose our chance. There are four of us at Foundation Establishment Great Perfection—twice their number. With all these elites, are you telling me we can’t flatten a single Juejian Mountain?"
"Indeed!"
The master of the Yuan Family nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the distant Juejian Mountain.
...
On Juejian Mountain, the wind was chilling.
"Soon, soon! Just give me three more days, and I’ll be able to find the array’s core."
Facing Chen Yin, whose gaze alone could kill, Elder Daoist Qingsong’s legs trembled like a sieve. Even with his forehead beaded with cold sweat, he didn’t dare raise a hand to wipe it away. When a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator lost their patience, any unintentional movement could ignite their fury.
"Three more days?"
Even Meng Qianxun almost let out a laugh of exasperation.
Three days, and then another three days?
He’d heard the same line at least ten times.
If it were any other array, he would have already launched a full-scale assault. But this was the Formless Tribulation Thunder Array, a Tier Three Middle-grade Grand Array. Worse, due to recent celestial phenomena, the thunderclouds had doubled, and its power had nearly reached the level of Tier Three High Grade.
Even if he and Chen Yin joined forces, they couldn’t withstand it for more than twenty breaths.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, this Array... while its power is immense, its consumption is also quite large. Once the Jin Family activates it, they have to use Spirit Stones to maintain it. The daily cost is astronomical."
Elder Daoist Qingsong said cautiously, his body bowed.
"When the Jin Family can no longer sustain it, the Array will naturally stop."
Meng Qianxun sighed deeply and waved his hand, signaling for the man to shut up.
With the Jin Family’s resources, maintaining it for several years would be no problem, but how could they afford to wait that long? Besides, would their enemies just let them wear them down like this? The enemy was resting comfortably within their family compound, while he and Chen Yin had to stand guard here at all times.
They even had to be wary of a counterattack.
"Hmph!"
Chen Yin snorted coldly as he watched Elder Daoist Qingsong hastily retreat.
Just then, he suddenly looked up.
"Someone is breaking through the mountain’s defenses..."
"Not good!"
As Chen Yin spoke, Meng Qianxun’s pupils contracted. Without a hint of hesitation, he suddenly raised both hands.
"Rise!"
RUMBLE!
Juejian Mountain trembled violently. In the night sky, countless runes, like fireflies, surged forth from the void. They spun and intertwined madly in mid-air, forming a barrier that stretched across the heavens in the blink of an eye.
"What’s happening?"
Everyone was stunned, wondering why Meng Qianxun had suddenly activated the Array. Just then, several beams of light streaked through the void like lightning, abruptly striking down.
"Look out!"
"Enemy attack...!"
CRACK!
It was as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was tearing asunder.
But even after shattering the Grand Array, the thunderous attacks didn’t lose their momentum. Like meteors falling from the night sky, they left dazzling afterimages in the depths of everyone’s eyes before smashing down violently.
BOOM—
With a tremendous roar, the entire Juejian Mountain shuddered.
Half of the mountain peak that had been struck caved in directly.
Countless massive cracks spread out from the point of impact, reaching all around the mountain’s base. Tapping his toes, Hu Yao shot into the sky, carried by a gust of Strong Qi. From within the mountain, numerous other Major Cultivators, just like him, shot out from Juejian Mountain one after another.
Then, with lingering fear, they glanced at the collapsing Juejian Mountain before immediately turning their eyes to the distant sky.
In just a moment, their expressions changed drastically.
Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivators!
And not just one, but four of them!
At the same time, under their astonished gazes, figures rose into the night sky behind the four Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivators, riding the wind. They positioned themselves across the heavens, instantly sealing off the entire area around Juejian Mountain.
"Four of their clans have united against us. This is a battle of life and death!"
Squinting, Meng Qianxun rubbed the Jade Ring on his right thumb. With a flash of brilliant light, a hornet two to three zhang long flew out, its two pairs of translucent wings beating gently.
Its forelimbs were like Dragon Spears, emanating a grim, cold intent.
The Blood Python Queen Bee!
As the Spirit Pet of a clan ancestor, it had been renowned a century ago. Though its bloodline was ordinary, it had slain countless Great Demons of extraordinary origins.
"I’m well aware."
Chen Yin responded in a deep voice. The moment he saw those four gathered here, he knew that today’s battle was unavoidable.
He clenched his fists slightly, and his figure suddenly grew several times taller, as if transforming into a giant. From within his black robes, countless murmurs arose, like the prayers of millions converging upon him.
Things had come to this. There was no use fretting over potential gains and losses any longer.
"..."
Hu Yao and Rong Zhongxuan exchanged a glance and nodded slightly. Though they had been panicked at first, they quickly suppressed their turbulent emotions. Seeing that their two ancestors were already prepared to fight to the death, they knew just how dire the situation was.
The only silver lining was that only four of the clans had appeared.
They still had a sliver of a chance to survive.
"Facing death, you still want to struggle?"
Jin Chaoheng swept his gaze over the group, a mocking look in his eyes. "You can all die here..."
RUMBLE!
Amidst a roar, he slapped his waist.
SWOOSH! The Golden Saber shot directly toward Juejian Mountain. The saber summoned Celestial Thunder, and everyone’s vision was abruptly split in two by its slash. It came crashing down brutally, like golden lightning hurtling from the nine heavens.
Seeing this terrifying display of power, Meng Qianxun’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The Blood Python Queen Bee behind him flapped its four wings and shot into the air. Its spear-like forelimbs thrust toward the Golden Saber in a motion that seemed slow but was deceptively fast. As its forelimbs pierced forward, the very air around them distorted.
"CLANG!"
The sound of metal on metal rang out as the Golden Saber was sent flying.
Jin Chaoheng curled his hand into a fist, catching the airborne Golden Saber. His right arm trembled slightly.
"I never thought that after a hundred years, your Queen Bee would still be as magnificent as ever, Fellow Daoist Meng... A pity its bloodline isn’t strong. It can only ever reach Foundation Establishment Great Perfection in its lifetime. Otherwise, we truly would be powerless against you today."
"Enough with the pleasantries..."
As Meng Qianxun made his move, Gu Xingkong, dressed as a scholar, let out a soft chuckle. With a flick of his sleeves, two hurricanes surged forth. As his sleeves billowed up and down, the two hurricanes rapidly intertwined, transforming into a world-devouring Wind Dragon.
Although it was just an ordinary Wind Dragon Technique, in the hands of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator, its power was nothing short of world-shaking.
At that moment, Chen Yin, his face expressionless, simply pointed a finger.
"BANG!"
A black ray of light pierced through it in an instant. The Wind Dragon exploded on impact, turning into a white, ring-shaped shockwave that expanded in all directions. The countless clouds in the night sky were instantly blown away by the strong winds.
Immediately after, Lu Hongtai and the master of the Yuan Family also attacked.
Chen Yin and Meng Qianxun stood back-to-back, fending off the attacks raining down from all around them.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In an instant, the six Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivators clashed in mid-air. The entire Juejian Mountain trembled violently. The once steep and towering peak had seventy percent of its height sheared off in the blink of an eye. Dust rose like dragons, Spiritual Qi boiled, and the mountain crumbled.
The entire world seemed to have descended into chaos.
After all, everyone present was a long-famous figure. Reaching Foundation Establishment Great Perfection wasn’t something one could achieve simply by entering death seclusion.
At the same time, the elites of the four clans also attacked. For a moment, bursts of Strong Qi filled the air.
"CLANG!"
Hu Yao raised his sword and soared into the air.
But in the next moment, several streaks of sword light descended from the sky.
"BOOM!"
Rong Zhongxuan jumped in front of him, summoned a Shield, and barely blocked the attack, his body stumbling backward repeatedly.
After steadying himself, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. His expression was grave. "Vice Valley Master, in a situation like this, you have to keep your eyes and ears open... A single mistake could be your last."
Before his words had even faded, dozens of Major Cultivators from the four clans had already closed in to kill them, surrounding the two completely. They brandished all sorts of Magic, sword lights, and Talismans, assailing the pair.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
Amidst a chaotic cacophony of clashes, they charged left and right but couldn’t break through the encirclement. Whenever they painstakingly managed to repel an enemy Cultivator, a new Major Cultivator would immediately fill the gap.
In just a few breaths, both of them were already covered in wounds.
Many Major Cultivators from the Meng Family and the Great Chen Royal Family couldn’t even last a few dozen breaths under such a siege before being cut down on the spot...
"Haha!"
Jin Chaoheng caught a glimpse of the surrounding situation out of the corner of his eye, his expression growing more triumphant. "Fellow Daoist Chen, Fellow Daoist Meng, are you still not ready to give up?"
Hearing this, Meng Qianxun’s expression became unbelievably grim.
It wasn’t just the ordinary Major Cultivators; even they were finding it hard to hold on.
"Hahaha!"
Gu Xingkong seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the siege. He waved his sleeves, and wind, fire, and lightning flashed across the sky, their brilliant light making him look like a Divine Spirit that could command the elements. "Why are you wasting words on them? Even if they dared to surrender, I might not dare to accept!"
"Only by killing them can we settle this once and for all!"
He wasn’t the only one. Lu Hongtai and the Yuan Family Ancestor had the same idea. The three of them exchanged a look, their faces cold and their eyes glinting with murderous intent.
However, before they could act, Jin Chaoheng suddenly shouted sharply:
"Fellow Daoist Gu! Watch out!"
The instant the words left his mouth, a piercing force that seemed capable of tearing through the sky locked onto their position. A streak of sword light burst onto the battlefield without any warning. It was so fast that it seemed to have emerged directly from the void, appearing right in front of Gu Xingkong!
