Chapter 485: Chapter 197: An Anomaly Descends, the Divine Venerable Strikes! Immortal Martial Heaven Realm
All evil fled before the golden light!
"AHHH!!!"
Some Great Demons and Demons who couldn’t dodge in time were instantly vaporized when the golden light shone upon them.
RUMBLE!!
Immediately after, high in the sky, an illusory Celestial Court of overwhelming might appeared.
And on the Emperor’s Throne in the very center, an illusory Jade Emperor, clad in a golden-purple Emperor’s Robe, slowly raised a finger.
As this finger was raised, 365 illusory Divine Spirits appeared around the illusory Celestial Court. These Divine Spirits all channeled their respective powers, augmenting the finger.
BOOM!!!
It seemed to last only an instant, yet it also felt as if an impossibly long time had passed.
The two fingers that streaked across the sky finally clashed with brutal force!
The sound of an unimaginably terrifying explosion echoed at the highest point of the sky. Even mountains and lakes miles away were torn asunder by the resulting shockwaves.
Mountain after mountain crumbled; river after river was annihilated, vaporizing into nothingness!
Under the force of the collision, even the Ancient Divine Mountain, said to be immortal and indestructible, was shifted hundreds of yards!
Not to mention the epicenter of the clash.
One after another, Cultivators with considerable Cultivation levels painstakingly employed all sorts of techniques, trying to observe the specifics of the confrontation.
But the area was shrouded in endless, seven-colored light, and nothing could be seen clearly.
However, some with profound Cultivation could see it with perfect clarity!
The moment they made contact, Jin Yun God Venerable’s finger tore through the heavens with absolute dominance, directly crushing the illusory Celestial Court!
Along with it, the 365 illusory Divine Spirits were also wiped out completely!
"It’s not that this person’s power is lacking, but the gap in Cultivation between the two is simply too vast."
A gray-robed elder, sitting cross-legged in the void, saw the truth of the matter and muttered.
’An anomaly...’
Jin Yun God Venerable, who had crushed the illusory Celestial Court with a sweep of his finger, furrowed his brow.
In his perception, the anomaly’s aura had indeed been crushed completely, without a single trace remaining.
But for some reason, he felt that the person had not been killed, but had instead gone into hiding.
’But an anomaly is an anomaly, and this one was certainly extraordinary.’
No matter how he tried to divine it, he could not calculate the other’s exact location.
It seemed the person had some treasure, or perhaps a Secret Technique, that blocked all forms of detection.
His gaze turned to the east.
For a moment, even someone as tyrannical as him felt his Heart Spirit grow uneasy.
He had a feeling they would clash again in the future.
And that time might not be far off.
...
「Immortal Martial Heaven Realm, Desolate Realm, a certain small city.」
In a remote and humble residence.
’Hasn’t Senior woken up yet?’
A young man of about eighteen, his face deathly pale and his tongue gone, looked quite miserable.
He glanced at the white-robed figure still unconscious inside the house, his heart filled with worry.
His name was Ye Yangfeng. He had once been a Martial Dao genius, but due to certain events, he had fallen on hard times.
He walked into the room, his expression turning dazed as he looked at the face of the white-robed figure.
He still remembered that day vividly.
By a stroke of luck, he had obtained an ancient legacy, but was hunted by others because of it.
Just as he was about to face a life-and-death crisis, a stream of fire suddenly fell from the sky!
But he saw it clearly—it wasn’t some meteorite, but a young man in a white robe, falling from the heavens!
After landing, the man didn’t pass out immediately. He merely gave the people at the scene a single, indifferent glance. At that, an overwhelming aura of sin billowed out from his pursuers.
Then, they all turned to ash!
Horrifying beyond belief!
After that, it was as if the mysterious young man in white had used up all his strength, and he collapsed to the ground unconscious.
More than ten days had passed since then.
’I wonder when Senior will wake up...’
As he watched, Ye Yangfeng sighed in his heart.
And the white-robed figure lying on the bed was, unmistakably, Su Bai!
"Young Master Ye?"
Just then, a knock came from the door.
Ye Yangfeng frowned, his guard rising.
He slowly stood up.
Over the past ten-odd days, his injuries hadn’t really healed, but he had gradually grown accustomed to living with only one good arm and one good leg.
He swung his numb and useless left arm to hook his crutch, tucked it under his armpit, and limped out the door.
CRACK!
At that moment, the main door was kicked open.
A tall, rather burly middle-aged man walked in with a sneer, dragging a young servant boy.
"Well, well, Young Master Ye. You’re quite the runner."
Ye Yangfeng watched him with a blank expression.
This middle-aged man was named Mu Yanwu, one of the enemies he had made back in Dinghai City.
Among all his enemies, this man could only be considered a minor figure.
But Ye Yangfeng had never expected that this man would be the first to track him down.
"Ah, I’d almost forgotten. Not only are you a cripple now, you’re a mute too!"
Mu Yanwu laughed with glee. "That day at the Celestial Cyan Pavilion, you kicked me down the stairs, forcing me to kneel on the main street. The humiliation was unbearable!"
"Did you ever imagine this day would come?"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Yangfeng’s eyes!
"Are you wondering why, out of all the people you’ve offended, the first one to come find you is a nobody like me?"
Mu Yanwu was tall, looking down on Ye Yangfeng. "I know they’re afraid of that thing you got. But would you really waste it on a small fry like me?"
His expression was mocking.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!
He understood this saying, of course.
This Ye Yangfeng, although only considered mediocre in the renowned Celestial Pride City, had once been a well-known young prodigy back in Dinghai City.
If he hadn’t been so blind as to offend that lord from the Prison Suppression Pavilion, a man like Mu Yanwu wouldn’t have had a chance to stand before him, not even in death.
"Kneel."
Mu Yanwu casually tossed the servant boy he was holding, who flew like a scarecrow and landed on the street outside.
Then, he looked coldly at Ye Yangfeng, a gleam of savage pleasure flashing in his eyes.
"Just like you made me kneel on the street all those years ago!"
’Of course, he knew what the people backing him wanted him to do.’
’He also knew he was nothing more than a pawn being used by others.’
’But he didn’t care about any of that.’
’If he could repay the humiliation of kneeling on the street back then, he would do so gladly, even if it meant his death!’
’Besides, he simply didn’t believe that this Ye Yangfeng would choose to act against him!’
’That hidden thing of his... he hadn’t used it even when his Martial Dao was crippled, when his limbs were destroyed.’
’Why would he possibly waste it on a small-time character like me?’
’They didn’t dare to gamble, but he did!’
’Besides, he had nothing to lose, so what was there not to gamble?’
"Are you going to kneel? Or are you going to take a nobody like me down with you?"
Mu Yanwu folded his arms, looking down on Ye Yangfeng with a cold, continuous sneer.
Ye Yangfeng’s expression darkened, a fire seeming to burn in his heart!
’Years ago, how would a mere Mu Yanwu have dared to shout at me like this?’
’But now...’
But then he thought of the senior inside the house, the one who had saved him and was now unconscious. His knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists fiercely!
"Who are you telling to kneel?"
And just as the glee in Mu Yanwu’s eyes intensified...
...a cold voice exploded in the courtyard!
