Chapter 4130: It’s You! (Seventh Update)
Chapter 4130: Chapter 4130: It’s You! (Seventh Update)
The Soul Seeker Saintess was still reeling in shock, wondering what kind of identity Ye Chen was hiding, but Ye Chen’s gaze was flickering as he stared at the black stone.
"What exactly does this foretell?"
...
At the same time, in the Upper Realm, atop a vast and magnificent Divine Mountain, Xuan Jiyue, who had been sitting in closed-door cultivation training with her eyes shut, suddenly snapped them open. This was her True Body secluding here, and at this moment, boundless horror flashed across her eyes.
Xuan Jiyue had sensed fluctuations of Reincarnation Bloodline. Shocked as she was, she also felt utterly astonished, and what shook her even more was that this aura actually originated from the Xuantian Sword Tomb.
The Xuantian Sword Tomb had been sealed by Xuan Jiyue herself. She knew very clearly what kind of meaning this Sword Tomb contained, and the appearance of Reincarnation Bloodline within the Xuantian Sword Tomb left her mind ill at ease.
"I must go there personally!"
Endless killing intent surged in Xuan Jiyue’s eyes; she planned for her True Body to descend upon the Xuantian Sword Tomb and pry into everything!
...
In the Xuantian Sword Tomb, Ye Chen was just about to put away the black stone. The Soul Seeker Saintess hadn’t even had time to voice the doubts in her heart when the two of them simultaneously sensed fluctuations coming from the Void behind Ye Chen.
Boundless pressure swept over, as if it ruled the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, the Supreme Sovereign of the vast Universe.
In that instant, the Yue Hun Witch and the Soul Seeker Saintess both turned deathly pale. They had already sensed that this was Xuan Jiyue’s aura; they were all too familiar with it.
Ye Chen also perceived the crisis at this moment. Xuan Jiyue’s aura had descended here; the fluctuations from the Void clearly indicated that because they had come to this Xuantian Sword Tomb, the disturbance just now had alarmed Xuan Jiyue and triggered Xuan Jiyue’s Laws.
If Xuan Jiyue descended, whether it was Ye Chen or the Yue Hun Witch and the others, they would have absolutely no chance of survival. They had yet to possess the power to shake Xuan Jiyue, and they could not even hope to escape. After all, they were currently within the valley of the Xuantian Sword Tomb, with literally nowhere to retreat!
At this critical juncture, the black stone in Ye Chen’s hand suddenly flew out, crashing straight into the divine patterns seal at the entrance of the Xuantian Sword Tomb. In that instant, this divine patterns seal was actually blasted open, leaving a gap.
Ye Chen stared at that opening, his heart jolting fiercely. He knew very well that he could step through it and enter the Xuantian Sword Tomb.
Yet even existences of the Primordial Origin Realm would fall upon entering the Xuantian Sword Tomb; if Ye Chen stepped in, it was almost a certain death.
The fluctuations from the Void grew ever more terrifying, Xuan Jiyue’s aura drew ever closer, and endless icy light gleamed in the Soul Seeker Saintess’s eyes.
At this life-and-death moment, the Soul Seeker Saintess suddenly thrust out a palm. Violent Moonlight poured forth, seemingly infinite, crashing one after another against the broken Spatial Passage.
The Soul Seeker Saintess intended to use every ounce of her power to delay the time of Xuan Jiyue’s descent, and at this moment the Yue Hun Witch also resolutely stood beside the Soul Seeker Saintess, joining her in taking action.
"Ye Chen, I was the one who brought you here. Even if my divine soul dissipates, I will shield you!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen’s eyes could not help but grow moist. The Yue Hun Witch and the Soul Seeker Saintess were planning to use their own lives to buy him time.
Especially the Soul Seeker Saintess: the Yue Hun Witch was but a shadowy figure, but the Soul Seeker Saintess was her True Body. Once Xuan Jiyue descended, she too would die without a doubt.
At this moment, Ye Chen did not wish to leave; he wanted to advance and retreat together with them. He suddenly charged forward, Slaughter Sword and Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword in hand, three Blood Night moons appearing above the sky. Ye Chen was prepared to pour every bit of his power into confronting Xuan Jiyue.
Yet right then, the Soul Seeker Saintess and the Yue Hun Witch abruptly turned to look at Ye Chen, endless resolve and battle intent in their eyes.
"Ye Chen, enter the Xuantian Sword Tomb. Perhaps there is still a sliver of Vitality." the Soul Seeker Saintess shouted sharply at Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen, go in!" The Yue Hun Witch’s words were even more concise, bearing a tone that brooked no refusal.
At the same time, the Yue Hun Witch and the Soul Seeker Saintess struck together once more, mighty Moonlight shrouding Ye Chen and directly hurling him toward the gap in the seal blasted open by the black stone.
"No!"
The Yue Hun Witch and the Soul Seeker Saintess’s power was too strong; Ye Chen could not resist at all, nor did he have any choice. He roared in fury, bellowing as he watched the figures of the Yue Hun Witch and the Soul Seeker Saintess shrink farther and farther away, and in the next instant he slammed into the entrance of the Xuantian Sword Tomb with a thunderous crash.
Ye Chen was jointly sent into the entrance of the Xuantian Sword Tomb by the Yue Hun Witch and the Soul Seeker Saintess, his life or death unknown.
...
Meanwhile, at the trembling Spatial Rift on the other side, the Moonlight unleashed jointly by the Yue Hun Witch and the other drove into it in a frenzy. Yet by now, the Moonlight appeared somewhat dim; the Spiritual energy of the two had already been exhausted too greatly.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a jade-white, flawless slender hand, like Heaven’s most exquisite work of art, slowly reached out from within the Spatial Rift.
"You are truly bold, to actually dare raise your hands against me!"
This voice was cold and clear, yet carried boundless majesty and wrath. In the next instant, that slender jade hand suddenly flicked a finger.
"Ssii!"
Violent Spiritual energy surged forth, laced with a dense aura of fate. Crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, it shattered the vast, rich Moonlight in an instant, as easily as blowing away a wisp of smoke.
"Pfft!"
The Soul Seeker Saintess could not help but spit a mouthful of fresh blood at this moment, while the Yue Hun Witch beside her grew ever more ethereal. Gazing at the Spatial Rift from which an arm had already emerged, a trace of sorrow flickered in the Yue Hun Witch’s eyes.
"Qing’er..."
The Yue Hun Witch looked at the Soul Seeker Saintess, a flash of resolve in her eyes, and then, without the slightest hesitation, she rushed toward the shattered Spatial Rift.
"Moon Soul Sky-breaking Burst!"
The Yue Hun Witch roared, and the instant she approached the Spatial Rift, her body suddenly swelled. Vast Yue Hun aura surged violently, filled with a frenzied ferocity.
Sensing what the Yue Hun Witch intended to do, Xuan Jiyue, who was just about to step out of the Spatial Rift, could not help but show a look of fury. The arm extending from the Spatial Rift swung fiercely toward the Yue Hun Witch, and endless purple qi seemed to erase even Heaven and earth, turning all into a blank void.
Under this terrifying offensive that annihilated everything, the Yue Hun Witch merely revealed a trace of disdainful smile. "Shameless Xuan, you’re a step too late!"
In the next moment, the Yue Hun Witch’s illusory body exploded with a thunderous boom. Boundless explosive shockwaves swept out, the Yue Hun Witch sacrificing herself to form a dreadful blast that devastated this entire region, even the Stars of Heaven trembling on the verge of collapse.
The Spatial Rift was immediately shrouded in an apocalyptic scene. The Soul Seeker Saintess’s gaze turned grief-stricken, tears sliding down as she stared fixedly at the world-rending, earth-destroying ruin before her, unsure whether the Spatial Rift beyond still existed.
Just then, a cold, clear voice seemed to traverse Wujin ages, echoing from the darkest place at the dawn of creation.
"Hmph, foolish beings. Dare to offend me, and you will all die!"
With a light wave of a jade-white arm, the heatwaves birthed by the explosion, the shattered Space Fragments, and even the boundless Moon Soul Demonic Energy filling Heaven and earth were all swept clean in that instant.
A peerlessly beautiful figure appeared. Her face was indifferent, and every gesture brimmed with boundless majesty. It was Xuan Jiyue.
