Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 394: Chapter 365: Bloodbath at Wangxian Ridge

The array was broken.

Meng Qianxun coughed up a mouthful of blood as well. He had never imagined that the Ancient Eight Gates Array was nested within a Small Five Elements Sword Array. Nor had he anticipated that the events at the Seven-Angled Jade Pavilion would alert Ye Yuanji so soon.

Even if he had known what was happening outside, he would have been unable to intervene:

For one, he was trapped within the Sword Array. For another, his only path to survival lay in breaking it.

’Did I make it in time?’

His Divine Sense swept out.

He saw a sky-shattering Sword Rainbow sweep across the night sky, instantly reaching Ye Yuanji. Just a moment before, the Ye Clan patriarch had seemed like an Ancient True God, holding the lives of all in his hands. Now, however, his eyes were filled with nothing but panic.

But a True Master who had been in the Core Formation realm for a century was, after all, a man of profound cunning.

Even in his panic, he whipped his right hand around and formed a Sword Formula.

CLANG—

The longsword on his back flew from its sheath with a clear ring.

But Chen Che’s sword strike was simply too fast, far exceeding his ability to react.

"Sever!"

The Sword Rainbow streaked past, skimming his body.

Blood sprayed as a right arm, its fingers still forming a Sword Formula, tumbled to the ground.

"Kill him!"

True Master Fenghu roared.

Before, it had taken all six of them and a Grand Array just to suppress Chen Che. Now, free from the confines of the Ancient Eight Gates Array, he was like an uncaged Fierce Beast. What else could they do but join forces immediately?

"ROAR!"

With a great roar, the Cyan Tiger’s form swelled. Its four paws slammed down, cracking the very mountains and buckling the stone ground. With a sudden leap, it burst through the swirling dust, covering an immense distance in a single bound and pouncing on Chen Che from behind in an instant.

Chen Che turned and pointed. Before the massive Cyan Tiger, his gesture seemed as futile as a praying mantis trying to stop a landslide.

RIIIP—

A tremendous tearing sound echoed as a torrential downpour of blood rained down, as if the heavens themselves were weeping blood.

In the blink of an eye, the charging Cyan Tiger was bisected by the converging Sword Group.

BOOM! BOOM!

Amid the wild spray of blood, the tiger’s severed halves crashed to the ground. Atop its head, True Master Fenghu had no time to activate his Protective Spiritual Artifact before Sword Qi pierced his body, tearing him to pieces. Even his Golden Core was pulverized into dust.

As blood rained down, Chen Che’s expression remained resolute, his gaze unwavering.

"The first!"

SPLASH—

Blood poured down. A strange, deathly silence fell over Wangxian Ridge, only to be broken by a thunderous, mountain-toppling roar from the crowd:

"Gods!"

"With just one strike..."

"Wait, wasn’t he on the verge of collapse just a moment ago?"

Everyone was dumbstruck.

"Quick, quick, what are you all gawking at?"

True Master Lingxu’s pupils contracted, and he quickly shouted.

WHOOSH!

As he shouted, he threw something into the air. It was the White Jade Porcelain Bottle, said to be capable of swallowing anything, and it shot skyward.

"Absorb!"

Instantly, the mouth of the bottle flared with Spiritual Light. As True Master Lingxu formed a Seal Technique, the narrow-mouthed, slender-necked, and round-bellied White Jade Bottle swelled in the wind, growing to a thousand feet tall in the blink of an eye. It became like a voracious Taotie, capable of devouring all creation.

The brilliant light from its mouth shrouded the entire region, trapping the very heavens and earth in a radius of several miles around Chen Che.

CRACK! SNAP!

Countless towering ancient trees were uprooted in an instant.

WHOOSH!

A fierce gale enveloped Chen Che, whipping his long hair and making his robes flap like banners. He watched as the uprooted ancient trees flew swiftly past him.

Seeing this, the one-armed Ye Yuanji, who was retreating in panic, clenched his jaw. With a flip of his left hand, he sent several Talismans flying. They ignited in mid-air, transforming into massive spears that shot forward with explosive force.

The other Golden Core cultivators dared not hesitate.

Cheng Xiao’s eyes glinted as he channeled his True Essence, slowly drawing his longbow. He had previously only drawn it halfway, but now he pulled it taut to seventy percent of its full draw. The arrow on the string was no longer one formed of Spiritual Qi, but a Bone Arrow that radiated a soft, jade-like light.

The Black-robed Elder shrieked and pointed her Black Jade Bone Staff. The swarm of Ghost Cultivators that had been tearing at Meng Changtu roared and surged toward Chen Che. Three Golden Core Ghost Cultivators led the charge!

With a grave expression, True Master Xuanmiao spread his hands. Two streams of cyan light gathered in his palms, forming a pair of rapidly spinning cyclones. With a wave of his hands, the cyclones unfurled like bolts of cyan silk, rushing forward.

It wasn’t just these five Golden Core cultivators; numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators also attacked in unison.

WHOOSH—

In that instant, Chen Che pushed his Ruyi Wind Thunder Step to its absolute limit. Propelled by his True Essence, he shot across the sky like a streak of cyan light.

He moved so fast that he left a trail of afterimages in his wake.

"The boy is too fast!"

True Master Lingxu clenched his teeth and let out a fierce shout:

"Contain him!"

As he roared, True Master Lingxu pressed his palms together, veins bulging on his forehead.

He focused all the True Essence in his body. His sleeves billowed, and his white hair stood on end. His aura grew so turbulent that the ground around him shattered, sending countless pebbles and plants flying into the air.

The White Jade Porcelain Bottle, already a thousand feet tall, began to grow again!

A thousand feet!

Two thousand feet!

Three thousand feet!

Five thousand feet—

True Master Lingxu had now pushed the Sacrificial Refinement of his Jade Bottle to its absolute limit. The bottle spanned the heavens, looking as if it could swallow all the rivers and lakes in the world.

Within Wangxian Ridge, one thousand-foot peak after another snapped with a devastating crash. Countless boulders were ripped from the mountainsides. They started to fall, only to be caught in the Jade Bottle’s Spiritual Light and pulled rapidly upward.

Enveloped in the Spiritual Light, Chen Che felt himself being drawn in by an immense force, as if he were trapped in a quagmire.

"I’ve restrained him! Everyone, attack now!"

True Master Lingxu roared.

He was creating an opportunity for the other Golden Core cultivators, pinning Chen Che down so they could strike. This was exactly why Ye Yuanji had chosen True Master Lingxu for this task—he had coveted the power of the man’s White Jade Bottle.

An ordinary Sword Cultivator would have had no escape.

"I have one of those, too!"

Chen Che’s eyes flashed as he produced his Yellow Gourd.

"Absorb!"

A light shot from the mouth of the Gourd. The heaven-swallowing White Jade Bottle shuddered. The rocks and plants that had been flying toward the bottle were suddenly seized by an even greater power and sucked directly into the Gourd.

Even True Master Lingxu trembled, and his White Jade Bottle began to drift uncontrollably toward the Gourd.

"Hyaah—"

The remaining Golden Core cultivators finally made their move. Cheng Xiao’s White Jade Bone Arrow, the Black-robed Elder’s Golden Core Ghost Cultivators, True Master Xuanmiao’s cannon-like Magic, and Ye Yuanji’s sky-blotting wave of Talismans all shot forth.

The coordination of their attacks was seamless. Though they had never fought together before, they drew on their vast experience and cultivation to launch what should have been a killing blow.

However, that would have been true for anyone else.

But as the barrage of attacks descended, Chen Che simply retracted his right hand, making no move to flee. Instead, he activated his Divine Sense to its absolute peak and clenched his fist.

CLANG—

With a sharp cry, his Sword Pill bloomed. In an instant, the swords linked together end-to-end, forming a Sword Ring that sealed off a section of the world and completely blocked the combined assault.

The sight left the Golden Core cultivators utterly stunned.

But on the battlefield, the situation can change in a flash. A moment’s distraction is enough to turn the tide. And more importantly, Chen Che was not fighting alone.

PFFT!

A sound of tearing flesh followed.

Ye Yuanji whipped his head around. He saw True Master Lingxu, who was controlling the White Jade Bottle, crumple forward like a discarded doll. The pitch-black Soul-Calling Banner had pierced through his shoulder blade and emerged from his chest. The tremendous Strong Force of the blow sent him tumbling forward.

"Absorb!"

Chen Che formed a Seal Technique, and the Yellow Gourd’s suction power instantly increased.

Instantly.

True Master Lingxu’s falling body shuddered before it even hit the ground. His wails and pleas for mercy were useless; he could not escape and was sucked directly into the Yellow Gourd. Deprived of its True Essence supply, the White Jade Porcelain Bottle trembled and fell powerlessly to the earth.

Its impact sent a tremor through the whole of Wangxian Ridge.

"The second!"

Glancing at the Gourd from the corner of his eye, Chen Che turned to face the remaining cultivators.

At this moment, the remaining four Golden Core cultivators were no longer just chilled to the bone; they were utterly terrified. Only then did they remember that Chen Che had not infiltrated Wangxian Ridge alone. There were other Golden Core cultivators with him.

WHOOSH!

Without a moment’s hesitation, the Black-robed Elder retrieved her White Bone Jar, recalling the Golden Core Ghost Cultivators that were attacking Chen Che. Her body then dispersed like smoke.

In an instant, everyone present lost track of her aura.

"Lady Ksitigarbha, you dare—"

Ye Yuanji, who was in the middle of launching a wave of Talismans at Chen Che, saw this and his eyes nearly split with fury.

"I may have taken your Spirit Stones, but that doesn’t mean I’ll die with you. Don’t you worry, though. I’ll be sure to spread the word about Jinyun Valley’s collusion with Xiao Chan!" Her sinister, grating laughter echoed from all directions.

Obviously, the Black-robed Elder intended to use this technique to conceal herself and escape.

"And what makes you think you can leave here alive?"

As he spoke, Chen Che’s immense Divine Sense poured out.

"Oh no—"

The Black-robed Elder was horrified.

Within her sea of consciousness, she could clearly see his Divine Sense surging out like a tidal wave, pushing outward in all directions. It swept over mountains and seeped into rivers, blanketing the entirety of Wangxian Ridge in a single instant.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

While the others were still searching for any trace of Lady Ksitigarbha, Chen Che simply waved a hand. A burst of orange flame erupted, and a scream tore through the empty air. The flames engulfed an ethereal figure that struggled desperately in mid-air.

FWOOSH—

Just as the flames were about to consume the figure, the Black-robed Elder’s body suddenly split apart. Her head detached from her neck and shot away.

She was a Ghost Cultivator too!

In an act of desperation, like a lizard shedding its tail, she abandoned the majority of her ghostly form and fled from Wangxian Ridge.

"Nowhere to run!"

Chen Xi shouted, already steering the Divine Statue to intercept. Fueled by a surge of True Essence, the Divine Statue swelled to a thousand feet tall. It reached out and clenched its massive hand around the fleeing head. Amid a heart-rending scream, the Golden Core cultivator who called herself Lady Ksitigarbha perished on the spot.

"The third!"

Chen Che stood proudly in midair, his long hair fluttering in the wind. He lowered his gaze to look upon Ye Yuanji, whose face was already deathly pale.

Tonight, he was going to wash Wangxian Ridge in blood!
