Chapter 364: Chapter 273: The Battle to Defend the World 2
Wang Yi stood before the two of them. With a flick of his sleeve, he looked toward the Bronze Ship ahead and shouted to Li Longyu, "Are you still my Yu’Er?"
In truth, Wang Yi had always harbored a fear. He knew Li Longyu was the reincarnation of a Starry Sky God and worried that the God’s consciousness would awaken and devour Li Longyu’s current-life consciousness.
If that happened, she would be the Starry Sky God Li Longyu, but she might not be his Princess Longyu anymore.
Li Longyu looked at Wang Yi and said, "Little Player from the lower realm, our fate has run its course. Go back!"
"Our fate has run its course?" Wang Yi’s gaze fell on Li Longyu’s swollen belly. "The fact that I could make it here now proves our fate is not over. If you are my wife, then come back!"
Li Longyu shook her head. "My world is in the Starry Sky, not on your Huaguo Mountain. I come from... the Mingyu Divine Country!"
"What does a Divine Country matter? If you are still you, then come back. Trust me, I can protect you!"
As Wang Yi spoke, he pointed forward. A Starlight Flying Sword flashed into existence, instantly shooting toward two Golden Core Cultivators who were advancing to attack him.
The two Golden Core Cultivators had raised their Primordial Energy Shields. In terms of combat power, they might not have been inferior to Changqingzi, the Island Lord of Changqing Island. In a Newbie World, they would be considered the pinnacle of mortals. But their Primordial Energy Shields were useless, pierced in an instant. They were sent flying back from the single blow, immediately suffering heavy injuries!
Seeing this, Li Longyu’s expression shifted almost imperceptibly, but she still shook her head firmly. "Go back. When I retrieve the Celestial Compass, all my memories will return. I am the Lord of the Royal Court of Longyu, Ming King Li Longyu. Twenty years as a Mortal were nothing but a dream. Just treat it as a fleeting romance."
"Is that so?" Wang Yi laughed loudly. "Fine. Even so, if you want to leave, I won’t stop you. But you will leave my flesh and blood behind!"
"Little Player, that’s enough!"
A massive Battle Sword, carrying mountains and pavilions, blocked the way between Wang Yi and Li Longyu. Atop it, Zhang Xuyi stood with her hands behind her back, her voice like thunder. "Little Player, do you know who I am?"
Wang Yi followed the voice and saw Zhang Xuyi. His Insight Divine Techniques activated, and he said coldly, "Zhang Xuyi, Level 199, Lord of the Xuyi Royal Court, ranked 1645th among Fourth Dimension Chaos Lords. You possess the A-rank Lord Talent, Harmonious Wind and Rain!"
"Since you recognize me, how dare you be so arrogant? This is outside the Newbie World. There’s no world barrier to protect you. People die easily here!"
"Then do you recognize me?"
"You? Aren’t you Yang Jian... oh, no, Zhen Yuan! The Ancestor of Earth Immortals? What’s the deal with your identity information?"
"Go rest on the side. I’m speaking with Li Longyu. Don’t interrupt!"
"You insolent whelp! I have one hundred thousand Golden Core Cultivators here. Where do you get the nerve to speak to me like that?"
Wang Yi said no more. He took a step forward, and with a Starlight Rush, he bypassed the Mountain and River Giant Sword in the blink of an eye, arriving before Li Longyu. He lowered his gaze to her and said, "Come with me. We’re going back!"
Li Longyu’s straightened back suddenly slumped. She shook her head. "No. I can’t stay on Huaguo Mountain. Otherwise, it will never know peace, and you will be targeted! They won’t harm me; they just want to take me out of the Newbie World to protect me!"
"You’re only fooling yourself! You should understand that they just see you as a vessel. They’ll use every means possible to resurrect *that* Li Longyu. You will no longer be you!"
"That... doesn’t seem so wrong... Letting me leave will be good for you and for everyone. Zhang Xuyi has already promised me that she will strongly support Huaguo Mountain and won’t give you any trouble!"
"Her promise isn’t worth shit. She’s just a lackey!"
Wang Yi shook his head in disdain.
"Hmph!" Zhang Xuyi’s voice rang out again. "Leaving or not is no longer up to you! All disciples, heed my command! Seize this little Player!"
As her voice fell, a Golden Lion Illusion abruptly appeared in the void. With a single breath, the illusion exhaled a stream of light that wrapped around Li Longyu, whisking her away in an instant.
At the same time, the Golden Lion Illusion stomped its right front paw. Immediately, a dense swarm of Flying Swords emerged from the void like a great river or a massive wave, instantly engulfing Wang Yi, Wang Bushi, and Wang Sanmei.
The Golden Lion Illusion’s gaze was contemptuous. It glanced at the Mountain and River Battle Sword and said, "The Ming King has entered the Starry Sky, and the world barrier has been revealed. Rather than leave these few alive, we should just eliminate them. While we’re at it, destroy this Newbie World and sever the lingering attachments of her reincarnated self!"
Zhang Xuyi flew out from within the Mountain and River Giant Sword. Holding a golden Longsword, she bowed to the Golden Lion Illusion and said, "Golden Lion Venerable, I have already made a promise to the Ming King..."
"Hmph! A woman’s pointless mercy!" the Golden Lion Illusion snorted, cutting her off. "That is merely the Ming King’s reincarnation, not the Ming King’s true self. Why should you care? Complete this mission, come find me at the Eternal River, and I will grant you an opportunity to enter the Divine Country and meet the Divine Lord!"
With that, the Golden Lion Illusion quickly vanished.
"Thank you, Venerable!"
Zhang Xuyi was overjoyed. As she rose, all hesitation was gone. She raised her golden Longsword and shouted, "All disciples, heed my command! Annihilate the enemy and shatter the world barrier!"
"Yes!"
The Cultivators aboard the Battle Sword responded in unison. They then quickly split into two groups. One prepared to encircle and kill Wang Yi, Wang Bushi, and Wang Sanmei, while the other scattered to attack the World Line!
But at that moment, the torrent of sword light that had submerged the trio shattered. As the glare subsided, not only were Wang Yi, Wang Bushi, and Wang Sanmei revealed, but also nine Monkey Kings.
With a HUM, wind and clouds suddenly gathered above the World Line. One hundred thousand Celestial Soldiers appeared, and the Four Heavenly Kings slowly rose from a distant part of the World Line.
Wang Yi had actually used the ultimate move of his [Fantasy Avatar], summoning Monkey King avatars that possessed Celestial God-level combat power, as well as one hundred thousand Celestial Soldiers and the Four Heavenly Kings!
"So what if there are one hundred thousand Golden Core Cultivators?" Wang Yi snorted softly. "Bushi, Sanmei, follow your father and fight to the Starry Sky!"
"Yes! I’ll give them everything I’ve got!"
Wang Bushi was ecstatic. He immediately launched into a mindless assault of headbutts and explosions. BOOM! Beyond the World Line, in the Starry Sky, he detonated, creating a thousand-meter-long Flaming Spear and perishing along with several Golden Core Cultivators, only to instantly revive in front of Wang Yi.
Wang Sanmei also took action. Wielding the Palm Leaf Fan, she first shot a level-twelve gale forward. Then, with a giggle, she took out a Wind and Cloud Banner. As the banner unfurled, 3,333 Celestial Eagle Warriors appeared.
"Thunder Welcoming Penetration, focus fire!"
Wang Sanmei’s voice was childish, yet resonant and powerful.
Following her command, the 3,333 Celestial Eagle Warriors unleashed a focused volley. Their combined Thunder Welcoming Lightning bolts converged on a single point, instantly obliterating one Golden Core Cultivator.
Golden Core Cultivators had the ability to use Primordial Energy Shields, but as they were all King-level combat power units, no shield, no matter how thick, could possibly withstand the focused fire of 3,333 Celestial Eagle Warriors.
Wang Yi’s expression was grim. He had summoned the nine Celestial God-level Monkey Kings mainly to protect Wang Bushi and Wang Sanmei. Now, taking action himself, he activated Mountain and River Body Refining and Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques!
"You think this World Line can be destroyed so easily? Watch my Divine Techniques!"
Wang Yi shot a glance at Zhang Xuyi. He was in a hurry. He had to defend the World Line, slay the Soldiers of the Xuyi Royal Court, and continue his pursuit of Li Longyu!
Next, Wang Yi took a great stride forward. The Great Ore Vein Mountain God Battle Armor enveloped him, and his body swelled to a height of one hundred meters. Behind him, eight Starlight Rivers formed a ring.
With a HUM, Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques also activated. Wang Yi’s form swelled again, growing to a height of a thousand feet. He reached into the void and pulled out a great axe. A single swing of the axe created a thousand-zhang axe shadow that directly tore space asunder.
Countless Starlight Long Swords also flew out, casting a net across heaven and earth as they began their slaughter!
In just an instant, thousands upon thousands of Golden Core Cultivators were annihilated!
Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator, struck by the axe shadow formed from Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques, exploded on the spot and died instantly.
A Nascent Soul Cultivator, someone above Level 100, only possessed Celestial God-level combat power at best.
With his Mountain and River Body Refining stacked with Panwu’s Great Power Divine Techniques, even a casual swing of Wang Yi’s axe could trigger a magnitude-eight Earthquake or greater. When he employed the Heaven-Opening Law, its power multiplied several times over. A mere Nascent Soul Cultivator? How could they possibly withstand it?
