Chapter 1316 Discovery of the Teleportation Channel, Final Battle
Because of the Qiongqi's repeated attacks, Jian Chen had no choice but to exert all his strength to activate the Purple Ying Divine Weapon. Although he killed all the Qiongqi, his aura dropped rapidly, as if he had reached the end of his strength.
Fortunately, he had just swallowed several large pills, otherwise he would be lying on the ground by now.
Chen Yang had been watching intently, waiting for this very moment. He would strike Jian Chen while he was at his weakest.
However, he kept his word and spared Qiongqi's life.
Whoosh!
A wisp of Qiongqi's soul, riding on its Yuan Dan, flew rapidly into the distance, like a stray dog.
Although it still possesses a divine soul, it can still follow the path of ghost cultivation, but this path is very difficult.
For humans, the path of ghost cultivation is extremely difficult.
Not to mention for a creature of a different species.
Therefore, it is very likely that it will not be able to survive for long and will eventually perish.
"Trying to escape? It's all because of you! Die!" Jian Chen was furious, his teeth clenched, and he actually slashed at the core of the Qiongqi beast.
If it weren't for the leader Qiongqi giving orders, he wouldn't have been attacked by so many Qiongqi, turning the tables from an active to a passive position.
If all the Qiongqi continued their attacks on Chen Yang, he might have already reached the Kunlun Immortal Sect through the spatial passage.
The situation has now completely reversed, which is extremely unfavorable to him.
Therefore, he was filled with rage and hatred!
Click!
The beast core was instantly shattered into pieces, and the soul of the Qiongqi leader inside was also destroyed, turning into dust.
"Ugh!"
Seeing this scene, Chen Yang could only let out a long sigh.
He has kept his promise and spared Qiongqi's life. It was just that Qiongqi was unlucky and destined to suffer this calamity.
Actually, this is for the best; dying early means being reborn sooner.
All Chen Yang could do was unleash a sword strike, aiming at Jian Chen and killing him to avenge him.
Clang!
This sword strike was decisive and ruthless, carrying Chen Yang's invincible killing intent.
"You think you can kill me? Not so easy!" Jian Chen shouted, appearing completely fearless as he blocked with his sword and unleashed a heavy strike.
However, it was clear that his sword strike lacked power.
when!
A loud crash rang out as the two greatswords clashed together.
As expected, Jian Chen was sent flying along with his sword.
Fighting against several Qiongqi had greatly exhausted him, and his body was truly at its limit.
Click!
A hole was punched through the wall of the main hall, and he flew out to the mountains with his sword.
The two of them had now reached the halfway point of the mountain, which was thousands of feet high, and the summit was in sight.
puff!
Spitting out blood, Jian Chen dared not stop. As soon as he regained his footing, he rushed towards the mountaintop with great urgency, ignoring the wounds on his body that were constantly bleeding.
"Why is this guy rushing towards the mountain? Is there something on the top of the mountain?" Chen Yang wondered.
Suddenly, something occurred to him.
Then, he took a step forward and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
A moment later, on the highest peak where the main hall of the Shushan Sword Sect was located, Chen Yang arrived and saw that it was empty except for a huge stone platform.
The stone platform was ten zhang in diameter and more than half a person tall. It was covered with countless mysterious runes, making it look like a giant compass.
At this moment, these countless mysterious runes were in operation, all shining brightly, and even emerged from the stone platform, imprinting themselves in the void.
These are void runes; when activated, they distort space.
Right at the very center of the stone platform, the space was most distorted, and a spatial passage was faintly visible.
However, this spatial passage is very unstable, its shape keeps changing, and sometimes it even disappears.
Occasionally, spatial turbulence would even erupt from it.
On the stone platform, Chen Yang also saw two large, gilded characters in bird-script: "Immortal Gate".
"Just as I predicted, the spatial passage to the Kunlun Immortal Realm is located atop this mountain. This enormous array is a spatial teleportation array." Chen Yang was smug; he had already foreseen this when they were halfway up the mountain.
The reason Jian Chen rushed desperately towards the mountaintop was because he was aiming for the spatial passage.
Deng Deng Deng!
There was a sound of footsteps.
Almost immediately, Jian Chen arrived, panting heavily.
However, he was ultimately a step too late.
Chen Yang stood in front of the teleportation array platform, which seemed like an insurmountable mountain blocking his way.
He was only one step away from the spatial passage, but that one step felt as far away as the ends of the earth.
"Boy, do you really want to be an enemy of my entire Kunlun Immortal Sect? Do you really think I can't kill you?" Jian Chen shouted coldly, gripping his greatsword tightly.
He must defeat Chen Yang in order to enter the spatial passage.
"You, a junior, can represent the entire Kunlun Immortal Sect? Even now, you still dare to threaten me. You're really arrogant." Chen Yang looked at Jian Chen and sneered. He held a long sword in his hand and stood in front of the teleportation array platform, exuding an aura of invincibility.
Sensing Chen Yang's killing intent, Jian Chen immediately cowered a bit. His large eyes darted around as he said, "Chen, I admit you are a once-in-a-millennium prodigy, a genius in cultivation. Ultimately, it is this world that limits you. If you were in the Kunlun Immortal Sect, you would definitely be a Golden Core cultivator by now, and most likely a top-three Golden Core cultivator. Proving your Dao to the Nascent Soul stage wouldn't seem too difficult for you. Now I can give you a chance to join my Shushan Sword Sect. I can even take you into the Kunlun Immortal Sect right now. With your talent, as long as you join my Shushan Sword Sect, you'll start as a true disciple under an elder. The sect leader might even personally accept you as a disciple, making you a true disciple under his command. Even the Supreme Sect Leader might emerge from seclusion to guide you. And the Supreme Sect Leader of my Shushan Sword Sect is a Nascent Soul cultivator. You are the first person to receive this honor."
Seeing that hard tactics weren't working, Jian Chen prepared to try softer approaches, using incentives to lure him in.
Because he knew that if he fought Chen Yang to the death now, he would likely be the one to fall first.
Once Chen Yang is brought into the Kunlun Immortal Sect, his life and death will be in his hands, and he can do whatever he wants with him.
Chen Yang killed several other sects' true disciples and prodigies. Even if the Shu Mountain Sword Sect wanted to spare his life, the other sects would not be willing.
However, Chen Yang's martial arts skills are quite extraordinary; we can interrogate him about them later.
"The Immortal Sect's teleportation array is right here. I can enter whenever I want. Why would I need your help? You want me to join your Shu Mountain Sword Sect? Your Shu Mountain Sword Sect isn't qualified." Chen Yang shook his head and sneered.
"You...you're utterly shameless!"
Upon hearing that Chen Yang had spread the Shu Mountain Sword Sect far and wide, Jian Chen was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
However, he quickly suppressed his anger and said, "The Immortal Sect's teleportation array is indeed here, but do you think you can just walk in as you please? If you go in now, I guarantee you'll instantly turn into a bloody mist. The Immortal Sect's teleportation array is not stable right now; it's filled with spatial turbulence, and you need a spatial protective magic treasure to pass through. And I happen to have one on me, which can protect at least two people as they pass through at once."
Jian Chen had a beaming smile on his face, looking like a kind person.
His goal was clear: to lure Chen Yang into the Kunlun Immortal Sect so that he could save his own life.
However, Chen Yang wasn't stupid and wasn't going to be fooled. He said, "You've reminded me. You have a spatial protective magic treasure. I'll just snatch it from you, won't I?"
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Jian Chen's face immediately darkened.
"Enough with the nonsense, I've chased you this far, you must die today!"
Chen Yang strode forward, pressing Jian Chen step by step.
At this moment, he retracted his ten-zhang-tall giant spirit body and returned to his normal state, becoming a handsome young man over 1.8 meters tall. However, the aura emanating from his body was not diminished at all, giving people the feeling of a god.
"You're asking for death! I'll fight you to the death!" Jian Chen shouted.
Since they couldn't fool Chen Yang, this battle was inevitable. They had to decide not only the victor but also the survivor.
Rumble!
Jian Chen showed no mercy, unleashing his full power without any restraint. Even at the cost of his lifespan and his own life essence, he unleashed a variety of forbidden secret techniques and supernatural abilities in addition to his sword skills, showcasing the true power of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect's teachings to the fullest extent.
In particular, this is the old grounds of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. The methods and principles he cultivates are perfectly compatible with this world, making it his home ground, where he can unleash even greater power than in other places.
boom!
The Purple Ying Divine Weapon shone with boundless light, and a hundred-meter-tall sword spirit manifested here, standing proudly behind Jian Chen, wielding a hundred-foot-long sword beam, and slashing down at Chen Yang from the sky.
This time, the hundred-meter-tall sword spirit was even more vivid and concrete than before, and its surging aura was even more powerful, obviously because this was the old ground of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
Although Jian Chen had never cultivated here before, as this was his first time in the mortal world, the Purple Ying Divine Weapon was forged in this ancient land countless ages ago.
Compared to Jian Chen, the Purple Ying Divine Weapon seems to have returned to its hometown.
Chen Yang ignored everything and didn't even bother to use the Sun, Moon and Stars Greatsword, directly throwing a punch.
The Xuanhuang Dao Body, which is halfway to the Great Perfection, is unleashing its full power. Countless innate patterns are manifested, and a Yin-Yang Taiji circle surrounds the body, where Yin and Yang flow and are impervious to all laws.
Click!
The hundred-foot-long sword beam shattered instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yang stepped forward, taking seven steps and unleashing five punches in succession, blasting the hundred-meter-tall sword spirit into ashes, shattering it in the air, leaving the world in a bleak state.
Puff puff!
Even Jian Chen himself couldn't withstand it, spitting out blood as he flew backward and landed halfway up the mountain.
"Ah ah ah..."
Amidst furious screams, Jian Chen soared into the sky once more.
"Forbidden Secret Technique? Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, Slay them!"
Clang clang!
The Purple Ying Divine Weapon slashed down with great force, unleashing a sharp sword beam.
Immediately afterwards, the sharp sword light seemed to undergo nuclear fission, splitting into two, then four, then eight...
In the blink of an eye, a single sword beam split into thousands upon thousands, each one real and true, each possessing the power to pierce through gold and shatter stone, each reaching an astonishing speed several times the speed of sound. They densely filled the sky, all with the same target: Chen Yang.
Such a devastating attack, its destructive power rivals that of a Golden Core cultivator's strike.
This is going to turn Chen Yang into a sieve!
“Indeed, it does have some of the meaning of ‘Ten Thousand Swords Return to One’. However, don’t forget, I am also a master swordsman.”
This time, Chen Yang took out the Sun, Moon and Stars Greatsword and slashed fiercely with it, also unleashing a sharp sword beam. That sword beam split into thousands upon thousands of sword beams, like a torrent of sword energy.
This is clearly also the Return of Ten Thousand Swords to the Source!
Compared to Jian Chen's Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, Chen Yang's Ten Thousand Swords Return to One was in no way inferior, and it also reached the level of a Golden Core strike.
Two sharp torrents of sword light tore through the sky, moving towards each other at speeds several times the speed of sound.
The relative speed is an astonishing ten times the speed of sound.
Like a stormy day, two thick, black clouds, carrying opposite charges, collided violently at high speed, instantly unleashing thousands of bolts of lightning that illuminated the dark sky and earth, followed by a deafening roar that echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.
Rumble!
The two ultimate moves, "Ten Thousand Swords Return to One," collided halfway up the mountain. The shockwaves from the sword energy instantly enveloped almost the entire mountain. All the rocks, vegetation, and houses on the mountainside, even with the protection of array patterns, were instantly reduced to ashes.
Even a nuclear weapon with a yield of ten million tons would produce an effect of this!
This shows how terrifying a battle between Golden Core cultivators can be; even a casual collision could produce a nuclear explosion effect.
Fortunately, the massive collision did not occur at the mountaintop; otherwise, both the teleportation array disk and the teleportation gate might have been destroyed.
Once the array plate is destroyed and the array gate is broken, Kunlun Immortal Sect will be completely cut off from the outside world.
"Again, Sword Qi Thunder!"
The aftershocks of the great collision of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One hadn't even subsided when Jian Chen's attack came immediately afterward.
Moreover, taking advantage of the cover provided by the sword energy storm, the others also arrived at a distance not far from Chen Yang.
This attack was unique; instead of unleashing the Purple Ying Divine Weapon, Jian Chen condensed a ball of lightning with both hands.
This lightning ball is no ordinary lightning ball; it is formed purely from sword energy and is about the size of a basketball. The sword energy inside is constantly colliding, which produces the sound of sword energy thunder and the effect of light.
This is also a forbidden secret technique of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. It uses great magical power to condense sword energy into a sphere, and when it explodes, the effect is comparable to the nuclear weapons of human technological civilization.
"Young man, this is my last gift to you, please accept it!"
With a cold laugh, Jian Chen suddenly slapped a ball of sword energy towards Chen Yang.
But Chen Yang didn't dodge or avoid it. Instead, he suddenly stretched out a hand, his palm suddenly enlarged, and forcefully grabbed the flying sword energy lightning ball, catching it directly in his hand.
To Jian Chen's surprise, the sword energy lightning ball did not explode. It was as if it had been controlled and was a dud, unable to explode.
As Chen Yang slowly closed his five fingers, the basketball-sized ball of sword energy was continuously compressed. Tiny specks of light, mixed with wisps of sword energy, overflowed from between Chen Yang's fingers, making crackling sounds, like the flickering flames of a campfire.
In the end, the basketball-sized ball of sword energy was shrunk to the size of a ping-pong ball by Chen Yang's fingers, shrinking by dozens of times.
However, its power also increased several dozen times.
