Chapter 2570: Chapter 123: This Sword Rose from the Wildmen Forest (Part 4)
If you can’t go west or south, then you’re either heading north or east.
I just happened to be guarding the east, happened to catch traces of your battle, then spread my Spiritual Sense over the ground and cornered you... this wasn’t hard."
It truly wasn’t hard. As long as one is willing to put in the effort, willing to work, not give up, dare to risk one’s life, and hold killing intent firm!
While they spoke, those few Blood Beads belonging to Zhang Linchuan had already been absorbed by a brand-new knife coin.
Jiang Wang only looked coldly at Zhang Linchuan. "Maybe it’s just like you said, Senior Brother Zhang. This is the fate between us."
"Good! What a fine fate!" Zhang Linchuan laughed. Even now, having witnessed that sword of Jiang Wang’s blooming with Divine Skills, his smile remained composed. "So who’s the one blocking the north?"
"If you make it over there, you’ll naturally see." Faced with this opponent who was incomparably calm and incomparably cunning, Jiang Wang refused to reveal even the slightest useful information. He only said, "Why don’t you try and see if you can still escape that way?"
"I’m done running." Zhang Linchuan shook his head with a smile and took the initiative to walk toward Jiang Wang. "I used the Nine Tribulations Method to forcibly cross a life-and-death tribulation. I’m sure you, Junior Brother, already guessed as much, otherwise you wouldn’t have encircled and pursued me like this. It’s just, I originally thought I would meet you in the ninth tribulation. Only then would it have the taste of destiny, and not let down our years as senior and junior brothers."
"But you were too impatient." he said softly. "How is it that I’ve only reached the fourth tribulation, and you already want to decide life and death with me?"
As he spoke softly, ghostly threads of lightning suddenly exploded across Jiang Wang’s skin! Like venomous leeches, they bored through the Ruyi Immortal Clothes and writhed their way into Jiang Wang’s body.
And at the same time—
Rumble!
A blazing bolt of lightning slashed across the sky.
Zhang Linchuan leaped high into the air, reached out and grabbed, and had already drawn the lightning as a blade. He chopped that vast bolt, which split the firmament, straight down toward Jiang Wang’s true body!
The gap that had existed back in Fenglin City had not shrunk. He had spent great effort and taken great risks just to keep that gap from being crossed.
If we must fight, then let us fight.
Since this is a Heavenly Mandated Death Tribulation, then I shall cross it myself.
He did not believe that Jiang Wang could unleash that sword, which had built up momentum across ten thousand li, a second time!
At this same moment.
Between Jiang Wang’s chest and abdomen, the Five Mansions spun open, blazing with scorching light. At the same time, Liu Li-clear radiance circled around his body.
Heavenly Governance Body, activate!
Xuantian Liu Li Cultivation Technique, activate!
Back then, Tu Hu had chosen the "Xuantian Liu Li Cultivation Technique" as compensation precisely because of this body-protecting Cultivation Technique’s inclusiveness. It could complement Jiang Wang’s Heavenly Governance Body, each inside and outside to the other.
In this instant the two powers combined, easily isolating those dusky threads of lightning outside his skin.
Ghostly radiance flowed all over Jiang Wang’s body, yet he wasn’t alarmed in the slightest, treating it like a fine breeze and drizzle.
He stepped down and shattered the Qingyun Mark, then rose into the air with a pull of his body, one sword sweeping across the heavens!
Swish swish swish swish!
Endless frost-white sword silk shot up into the sky.
The firmament was first lit by that massive lightning bolt, then suddenly dimmed after Zhang Linchuan drew the lightning away. At that moment, however, tens of thousands of sword silks crossed the air like moonlight and flying snow, lighting up the sky once more.
Ten thousand sword silks became snow; in the Human World, one beheld Frosty Snow Bright!
The lightning blade that reached from heaven to earth collided with the all-encompassing frost-white sword silk.
The boundless sea-like frost-white sword silk was torn apart like the heavens themselves, unable to withstand this force! In an instant the frigid blade-light arrived before his face.
In Jiang Wang’s scarlet eyes, incomparably brilliant golden light exploded forth!
The Divine Soul Battle erupted in that instant!
An ancient, exalted gate roared open in the firmament. It bore boundless majesty, as if it would have all heroes under heaven kneel before it.
Beyond the Heavens was already far; in the Human World, all were subjects beneath it.
The supreme Soul Killing Method of this era, its name: [Facing Heaven’s Gate]!
Once this gate appears, it suppresses all.
Across the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies, only I am exalted!
Yet this Primordial God Sea was unlike the usual, unlike any Spirit abode Jiang Wang had ever invaded.
Above was not the Cosmic Void, below was not the boundless Silent Sea.
No Dao Veins like Teng Long could be seen, no distant Micro Stars could be glimpsed.
He could not even hear the surging that connected the Four Seas, nor sense the breath of Five Mansions standing side by side.
There were only corpses and blood.
Endless corpses, and endless blood.
It was a Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea!
Or rather, everything was here, and everything here was already "Wusheng."
In the center of that sea of blood lay the piled-up Corpse Mountain.
At the summit of that Corpse Mountain stood a massive White Bone Throne.
Zhang Linchuan, eyes indifferent, sat upon that White Bone Throne. He gazed up at the gate opening in the firmament, yet with a posture of looking down he stretched out his claws!
That pale, emaciated hand of his suddenly spread to cover the sky and earth, enclosing the Universe, and slapped toward that mighty gate—
"Before life and death there are no Emperors. Die with me!"
