Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 541: Chapter 264 Grandpa

Above the Giant Lake, waves occasionally surged.

The Silver light emitted by the Integration Realm Giant, the Tomb, reflected on the figures engaged in battle.

Qin Minghao and the two others surrounded a single figure on the Giant Lake, but that figure swung a large blade, defending impeccably!

Ning Qi looked on and recognized the person as the mysterious loose cultivator Fu Chen, whom Niu Man had mentioned.

Upon entering the Profound Truth Secret Realm, Ning Qi had seen him once.

Fu Chen’s physique was like stone fortification, outstanding, draped in a blue cape, with wild hair hanging loosely.

The blood-colored great blade he carried on his back was now gripped in his hands, constantly striking out.

With each strike, a blood-colored Blade Qi would sweep across the sky!

These blood-colored Blade Qi were three zhang wide and ten zhang long, exceptionally solid, with what seemed like burning blood flames upon them.

From afar, it looked as if the silver-white was dyed with streaks of crimson clouds.

On the opposite side, facing him, Qin Minghao, Jiang Qingxue, and Wang Ye, were all using all their strength to counter Fu Chen’s attack.

Qin Minghao wielded a sword dance, black and white qi erupting together.

The white qi blocked the incoming blood-colored Blade Qi, while the black qi shot toward Fu Chen like a flying arrow.

However, Fu Chen did not even consider defense.

His foundation physique far surpassed the three, always managing to strike faster with Blade Qi, extinguishing Qin Minghao’s Sword Qi.

Wang Ye stood to his west side, his hundred-zhang Three-headed Six-armed Soldier Fiend Body had long been activated.

Yet, even with his various Magical Treasures and combined formations, they still couldn’t take him down.

Whether it was his trapping methods or the Primordial Spirit Tao Flame from his mouth, they could never approach Fu Chen’s body.

Jiang Qingxue’s jade feet stepped through the void, and a water bridge automatically formed on the lake below, allowing her to walk on waves.

In places with water, she actually held the advantage; each of her moves could stir the lake’s currents, turning them into giant waves or icebergs to smash toward Fu Chen.

But like Qin Minghao and Wang Ye’s attacks, they were all dissolved before getting close.

Ning Qi, observing from the side, spotted the problem.

Fu Chen’s foundation was indeed deeper than the three; whether in magical power, Primordial Spirit power, spell art, physique, speed, or the Spiritual Treasures used, he was superior.

He too had reached the Primordial Spirit Realm’s limit, just a step away from stepping into the Void Path Realm.

Yet, Qin Minghao and the others clearly hadn’t reached this point.

The more Jiang Qingxue attacked, the more she was shocked, feeling somewhat defeated inside.

First, she sensed that Qin Minghao and Wang Ye beside her had surpassed her in cultivation, making her feel that her progress over the past ten years was too little.

Second, because even so, the three of them combined were being suppressed by this Fu Chen.

They all knew Fu Chen’s situation; a sectless loose cultivator was so exceptionally strong.

They could only lament the Mountain and Sea Realm’s abundance of prodigies; there were always people better than oneself in this vast world.

Jiang Qingxue was truly unwilling; Ning Qi’s image flashed in her mind, thinking that perhaps only an Immortal-like Ning Qi descending to the mortal world could subdue Fu Chen.

As for Fu Chen, he was secretly startled by the trio’s performance.

Wasn’t it said that Beixuan Domain was small, with only one top-tier Upper Sect? How was it that the disciples of Infinite Sword Sect were also this fierce?

He was qualified to say this, as he had single-handedly challenged all sects in the Southern True Domain except those with Integration Realm Giants guarding them; all their top True Inheritors were defeated by his blade.

Yet the three from Infinite Sword Sect were each comparable to those first True Inheritors he had defeated, even faintly surpassing them, which was truly unbelievable.

Fu Chen also felt helpless; he just wanted to push these people back and explore the Silver Tomb ahead but didn’t expect the standoff to last this long.

Even if his strength exceeded theirs, he didn’t dare go for the kill; after all, he came from a loose cultivator background. Offending an Upper Sect would be a huge problem.

The lengthy battle made both sides realize that continuing might only benefit others.

Suddenly, Jiang Qingxue stood in the void, grasping a Hexagonal Ice Crystal with her left fingertips, a damaged Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure used during True Inheritor ranking, about to press it to her brow.

However, at that moment, Ning Qi’s arrival was finally sensed by those in battle.

Qin Minghao and the others all showed joy on their faces; Jiang Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the Hexagonal Ice Crystal.

Fu Chen naturally also noticed Ning Qi.

For some reason, seeing Ning Qi’s approaching speed made his back hair stand on end; in all his years roaming the Southern True Domain, it was the first time he had this feeling.

An elderly voice also timely rang out in his mind.

”Not good, the newcomer likely has near Void Path Realm strength; Chen’er, quickly leave!”

Upon hearing this, Fu Chen dared not hesitate any longer and acted decisively.

His blood energy surged, instantly transforming into a blood rainbow, breaking through the three’s encirclement and fleeing, startling Jiang Qingxue and the others!

Ning Qi, seeing Fu Chen escape, also showed a hint of surprise.

His Primordial Spirit power’s coverage far exceeded that of those present.

Previously, as Fu Chen fled, he had clearly sensed an unusual fluctuation from Fu Chen.

After some thought, Ning Qi connected it to the mysterious legacy Niu Man had mentioned about Fu Chen.

Ning Qi, carrying Xie Chaolu, immediately appeared before the others.

”Senior Brother Ning, you finally arrived!” Jiang Qingxue’s beautiful eyes gleamed with joy.

”Senior Brother Ning is indeed formidable, scaring off Fu Chen the moment he arrived.” Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Minghao shook his head, seeming rather regretful, and said, ”It’s a pity that Fu Chen’s strength is remarkable, yet we didn’t see Senior Brother Ning subdue him.”

Ning Qi chuckled and asked, ”Where is Junior Brother Qingxiao?”

Jiang Qingxue replied, ”Junior Brother Qingxiao was injured by Fu Chen, and we’ve let him rest in front of the tomb.”
