Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 393: Chapter 364: Breaking the Array

"This is terrifying!"

The moment the Ancient Eight Gates Array revealed its power, everyone within Wangxian Ridge was left with only that one feeling.

What were the Eight Gates?

They were based on the Innate Trigrams: Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun!

Each gate that opened could coalesce a different type of energy.

With two gates open, its power was already unstoppable. Now, a third had opened.

BOOM—

Countless serpents of lightning surged from the gate. Ye Yuanji’s long hair whipped about as his left hand controlled wind and fire, locking down on Chen Che. Shrouded by the swirling wind and flames, Chen Che’s figure vanished from the sight of the Golden Core cultivators.

At the same time, his right hand flipped up and down, commanding innumerable pythons of electricity to rapidly intertwine in midair, forming a massive Thunder Dragon. The moment it was formed, it descended ferociously, streaking across the night sky with a blinding flash of lightning.

In that instant!

Ye Yuanji was the Divine Spirit that ruled this corner of the world!

ROAR—

The Golden Core cultivators could hardly imagine just how terrifying this Thunder Dragon was.

The thunder roiled nine times, leaving a trail in the night sky where the Thunder Dragon had passed. Wherever its body went, the nearby mountains, rivers, and trees exploded into dust.

It was as if half of Wangxian Ridge was being crushed beneath it. The swirling dust was instantly swept aside by its body, and like a Flood Dragon riding the wind and breaking the waves, it shot straight for Xiao Chan.

The shrieking thunder made the hairs on Xiao Chan’s body stand on end. Without a hint of hesitation, he gripped the Soul-Calling Banner with both hands and unfurled it. A tide of Divine Souls poured out, forming a black ocean of spirits.

BOOM—

Amid the tremendous roar, countless Divine Souls were annihilated in an instant by the furious lightning, letting out wretched wails.

BANG!

With a flash of lightning, the Thunder Dragon slammed into his body.

"Gah!"

He violently coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with bits of his internal organs.

Then, to everyone’s horror, the Thunder Dragon clamped its jaws on Xiao Chan. With a deafening boom, it dragged him across the landscape, carving deep gouges in the earth wherever it passed.

"Huh?"

"Xiao Chan?"

The appearance of the Soul-Calling Banner stunned the Golden Core cultivators present. They hadn’t expected this ant who’d jumped out to have such a notorious background. Xiao Chan’s appearance, his Soul-Calling Banner, and his physical features had long since been made known by the Primordial Sect.

It was safe to say that no one was unaware of this Evil Cultivator who had betrayed his Sect.

"Haha!"

Ye Yuanji let out a crazed laugh, then glanced at the fiery tornado stirred up by the twin dragons of cyan and red. The smugness in his eyes was beyond description.

"What a pleasant surprise, Valley Master Chen. I don’t know why you’re mixed up with a Rebel Disciple like him... but you’ve just added another crime to your list."

"Gah—"

Xiao Chan spat out a mouthful of blood, a bitter, silent smile on his face.

He had overestimated himself and underestimated the power of the Ancient Eight Gates Array. The serpents of lightning bypassed countless souls and struck him, making him feel as if his body was being devoured by ten thousand ants. The pain was unbearable, penetrating deep into his Divine Soul.

"Break!"

Ten breaths later, Chen Che used his Sword Pill to break through the tornado of wind and fire.

"Haha, you actually escaped!"

Ye Yuanji laughed again as a massive, bronze-colored gate slammed open behind him. Within Wangxian Ridge, countless torrents of lake water shot into the sky, coalescing into a thousand-foot-long dragon that lunged toward Chen Che, jaws snapping.

Chen Che raised his hand and slashed, splitting the Water Dragon in midair.

But at that moment, Ye Yuanji had already waved his bare hand.

The sundered Water Dragon abruptly disintegrated, transforming into countless Flying Swords.

This time, there were more than a million Flying Swords. Like a meteor shower blanketing the sky, they rained down on Chen Che from all directions.

"Rise!"

Chen Che’s pupils contracted. He bent his fingers and made a sweeping gesture.

Spiritual Light flared, and a massive group of swords swiftly gathered, forming a gigantic Sword Wall in front of him.

"Again!"

At the same time, as Ye Yuanji formed a Seal Technique, the shattered wind and fire reformed into two Evil Dragons. They coiled around each other, spiraling upward and transforming into a giant drill that bored down toward him.

BANG—

Instantly, a sky-shattering boom echoed through the air. A blast of violent, Strong Qi swept out in all directions, flattening dozens of miles of mountain peaks covered in jagged rocks and green pines. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators watching from afar were sent flying by the gale.

In the end, mortal strength was finite, but the Power of Heaven and Earth was limitless.

Even Chen Che, with his Sword Pill, was a notch weaker against Ye Yuanji, who could command the power of this domain. He was blasted backward, slamming into the ground and creating a massive crater.

"He’s still not dead? Let me add some fuel to the fire!"

True Master Fenghu laughed heartily and slapped the Cyan Tiger beneath him. The tiger opened its great maw, and countless currents of air gathered into a spiral of gas. As it was exhaled, it stretched into a Wind Blade that shot across the void.

A mountain several thousand feet high was sliced in half by the Wind Blade.

Chen Che’s expression grew solemn.

His Sword Pill was busy resisting the Ancient Eight Gates Array; he couldn’t possibly draw it back to block this Wind Blade.

"Swords, out!"

Chen Che shouted in a low voice.

Countless rays of light surged from the Sword Box on his back. A Sword Rain flew forth, transforming into a brilliant streak that collided with the Wind Blade.

CRACKLE! POP!

After all, they weren’t the Sword Pill. The Flying Swords from the Sword Box were of varying quality, and in a single instant, most of them shattered. At the same time, because the force of the blow was dispersed, Chen Che was driven back several thousand feet before he managed to stabilize himself.

"Impressive techniques, Valley Master Chen. Now, let’s see you handle my palm strike!"

True Master Xuanmiao chuckled, his face full of scorn.

He raised his hand and waved. Several streaks of cyan light shot through the air like silk ribbons, circling around. As they flew, they merged into a giant cyan palm that pressed down thunderously toward Chen Che!

True Master Xuanmiao’s Magic was endless and ever-changing.

"Haha, try not to kill him with one strike."

Ye Yuanji called out with a laugh.

BANG!

A cyan, jade-like light flared around Chen Che’s body as he pushed his Qi and Blood to their absolute limit. Power surged from his core, and his bones and sinews crackled like popping beans. The muscles along his spine writhed like a great dragon, and his right hand, now resembling White Jade, struck out directly at the giant cyan palm.

He was actually going to block a Golden Core Technique with his physical body!

BOOM!

The collision was truly world-shattering.

It was like two ten-thousand-ton ships colliding. The cataclysmic sound spread across the night sky, and countless Cultivators clapped their hands over their ears in shock.

CRACK—

Amid the tremendous noise, the ground beneath Chen Che’s feet was the first to give way. It exploded, shattering on the spot. Slabs of rock tilted upward, and his feet sank deep into the earth as if he’d fallen into a crater.

And at that moment, Cheng Xiao, the Black-robed Elder, and True Master Lingxu also attacked one after another.

They were all True Masters at the Golden Core Third or Fourth Layer, having refined their Golden Cores for several hundred years. Their Cultivation Realms were even higher than Ye Yuanji’s. Every strike shook the heavens and the earth, shattering the peaks within Wangxian Ridge and throwing dust and rubble into the air, plunging the world into chaos.

Although Chen Che was incredibly strong, he could only struggle to hold on while facing five Golden Core cultivators and a Grand Array all at once.

"Che’er..."

Meng Changtu’s eyes were nearly splitting with rage and grief.

"Gah—"

Xiao Chan coughed up blood. He had already exhausted all his strength just to deal with the pursuit of a single Thunder Dragon. One could only imagine the danger Chen Che faced, enduring the bombardment of three Ancient Dragons from the array and the combined assault of five True Masters.

The fact that he had held on for so long was already beyond imagination.

’This kid’s strength is truly extraordinary. No wonder he dared to sneak in...’

Ye Yuanji, too, was inwardly astonished.

Clearly, Chen Che’s strength had far exceeded his expectations. Any other Golden Core cultivator would have long been smashed to pieces, their Divine Soul obliterated. "But since you’ve come, you can just die here!"

His gaze turned cold. Ye Yuanji clearly didn’t want to drag this out any longer. His expression icy, he spread his hands.

CREAK—

Amid the sound of striking chimes, two more ancient gates opened. Above Wangxian Ridge, clouds gathered, and a Cloud Dragon poked its mountain-sized head down from the sky. Beneath that colossal head, humans looked like ants.

At the same time, deep within the mountain range, the marshes stirred, and a Mud Dragon made entirely of sludge burst out with a terrifying shriek. It coiled in the void, radiating a surging aura.

Its posture was like that of a prehistoric Demon Dragon.

"Ah—"

Seeing this, Chen Xi, on the contrary, became calm.

She knew this was a moment of life and death, a tribulation even more perilous than their fight against Thousand Eyes that day.

"There’s no other way."

Suddenly, she understood why their ancestor had chosen to attempt Crossing the Tribulation under those circumstances back then.

"Rise!"

Without a shred of hesitation, she brought her hands together. Her aura began to climb, skyrocketing wildly.

"She’s..."

Xiao Chan and Meng Changtu were taken aback. Then, it dawned on them: Chen Xi was preparing to forcibly initiate her Tribulation Crossing, intending to use the Celestial Tribulation to shatter the Grand Array.

The two men looked at each other and also grew calm. Their Qi Mechanisms began to climb in unison.

Even the Golden Cores within their bodies began to stir restlessly.

Clearly, everyone present was preparing to risk their lives.

Chen Che also let out a long sigh.

’I have no choice but to communicate with that wisp of Spiritual Qi inside the Sword Pill...’

"Hm?!"

Ye Yuanji glanced over, the mockery in his eyes deepening.

"You want to risk your lives? Do you even have what it takes? Just die together! I will utterly obliterate your Divine Souls..."

The five Evil Dragons—Wind, Fire, Thunder, Heaven, and Lake—descended from the sky, carrying a torrential power. Their massive bodies nearly blotted out the heavens and the earth, looking as if they could devour the sun and moon.

CRACK—

A sudden, deafening sound.

An abrupt change.

The five Evil Dragons froze in midair.

At the same time, the eight ancient gates floating in the air trembled. A crack appeared on the ferocious bronze beast-head handles. The crack spread rapidly, covering the entire bronze gate in the blink of an eye.

"No, this is bad..."

"There’s another Golden Core cultivator! The Ancient Eight Gates Array has been broken..."

Ye Yuanji’s expression changed drastically.

Immediately after, the thousand-foot-tall gates exploded, shattering into motes of light that dissipated into the void.

The Evil Dragons frozen in midair also vanished like smoke.

Xiao Chan, Meng Changtu, and Chen Xi were all stunned.

Then, they realized what had happened.

Meng Qianxun, who had been hiding in the shadows, had found the core of the array and destroyed the Grand Array.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Chen Che burst out laughing.

"And now, it’s my turn!"

BOOM!

At that moment, an aura as vast and mighty as the heavens erupted from Chen Che’s body. His figure began to grow explosively, and in the eyes of the crowd, he seemed to surpass the ten-thousand-zhang peaks of Wangxian Ridge, becoming as tall as the sky itself.

"No, this is bad."

The expressions of True Master Fenghu, True Master Xuanmiao, and the others, who had been so confident and mocking just a moment ago, changed drastically.

Before, they had relied on the Ancient Eight Gates Array to suppress Chen Che. Now that the Array was broken, how could they possibly hope to contain this being?

BOOM—

Amid their cries of alarm, Chen Che clenched his right fist. The Ruyi Wind and Thunder Sword appeared in his hand, and he transformed into a streak of lightning, charging straight at Ye Yuanji!
