Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

The Golden Core Cultivators hiding in the shadows all looked on in shock.

Previously, like Meng Qianxun, they hadn’t understood why the young Valley Master had released his Divine Sense with such fanfare. Only now did they realize he’d done it to lock onto their positions.

Furthermore, the way he had consecutively slain three people suggested he intended to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Some were terrified, some were stunned, and of course, some were furious:

”Chen Che, you brat! You’ve only been at Core Formation for a few years, how dare you show off in front of me? Let me give you a taste of my Divine Sense!”

BANG!

A skeletal Golden Core Cultivator with a hunched back and a White Bone Necklace spoke resentfully, his voice like the shriek of a ghoul. Holding a Lonely Stick, he abruptly threw his head back. A brilliant light flared in his eyes as his Divine Sense materialized in an instant.

Then, a face emerged from his own decaying visage and shot toward the overwhelming expanse of Divine Sense in the sky. As the face appeared, a silent scream echoed in everyone’s mind.

ROAR—

The sound pierced right through their Divine Souls, startling countless Cultivators into circulating their True Essence to block their ears.

The Lonely Stick Golden Core Cultivator’s lips curled into a smirk, and the giant face mirrored his smile. He was confident that after many years at the Golden Core realm and having consumed numerous Celestial and Earthly Treasures, his Divine Sense was surely superior.

SWOOSH!

From above the azure light, a giant palm suddenly descended, clamping down directly on the giant face.

The roar turned into a wail; the smile twisted into terror.

Before everyone’s horrified eyes, the five fingers contracted. With a sharp *CRACK*, the face was torn to pieces.

*Pfft...*

The Golden Core Cultivator who had boasted of teaching Chen Che a lesson shuddered violently as blood streamed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Then, he toppled to the ground like a wooden post. He had activated his Divine Soul with all his might, only to have it shattered in an instant, leaving him braindead on the spot.

And just as this Lonely Stick Golden Core Cultivator fell...

The Sword Group filling the sky surged forth. It split in two like a flowing river, instantly slaying two Golden Core Cultivators. Then, it abruptly merged again. The sword light reformed into a dazzling Sword Rainbow that was so brilliant it hurt the eyes, and it blasted another Golden Core Cultivator to dust in front of everyone.

”Hah—”

”What the hell is this thing? Don’t tell me Valley Master Chen is going to follow Ye Jingzhou’s example and perform a Sacrificial Refinement on the entire Jinyun Valley?”

”Run! We have to run! If not now, when?”

All of this sounds like it took a long time, but it actually happened in just a few breaths.

In addition to the four Golden Core Cultivators who were instantly killed...

...over thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators had also died within the storm of Sword Qi...

Seeing this, even many of the Golden Core Cultivators panicked, transforming into streaks of light and fleeing into the distance. Of course, some Cultivators who were either confused or harbored malicious intent mingled with the crowd, hoping to sow chaos in Jinyun Valley and use the opportunity to plunder.

They didn’t dare to plunder Jinyun Valley itself, but the shops in the Market were also a juicy target.

And so, as the cries rang out, Jinyun Valley instantly erupted into chaos. From one end of the street to the other, the scene resembled a disturbed forest, with all its insects, birds, and beasts scrambling to escape.

Every Cultivator shot into the sky, trying to escape this place.

*Hiss—*

Meng Qianxun froze at the sight. Only now did he understand what Chen Che had meant by ”just kill them all.” He had no strategy, no arrangements, no plan at all.

He just waited for all these Tribulation Cultivators to arrive and then tried to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

But how could those Tribulation Cultivators let him have his way?

Sure enough, they were stirring up chaos in Jinyun Valley to create a chance to escape. Even Meng Qianxun would have found this situation incredibly difficult to handle.

”I, the Valley Master, am exterminating Tribulation Cultivators! All Cultivators of Jinyun Valley, halt at once!”

Chen Che’s voice, laced with True Essence, was powerful and resonant, spreading through the entire valley like a heavenly decree. ”Anyone who flees or plunders will be treated as a Tribulation Cultivator and killed without mercy!”

BOOM!

The voice, combined with his Divine Sense, echoed in everyone’s mind in a single instant. Immediately, the panicked Cultivators froze in place, as if a Body Fixing Technique had been cast upon them all.

At the same time, a beam of light shot out from within the valley. Before countless eyes, it swiftly formed a body constructed of True Essence. It was a hundred zhang tall, dominating the space between heaven and earth and emitting a mystical Spiritual Light.

Just then, the crescent moon hung in the sky, seemingly suspended behind the figure, creating a wondrous image. It was an incredibly sacred sight, as if a Sword Immortal had descended upon the mortal world.

The figure emanated an inexplicable sense of security, and in just a few short breaths, it brought all the Cultivators in the Market to their senses.

In an instant, only the several hundred figures of the Tribulation Cultivators remained in the sky.

’What incredible authority. This boy has only been at Core Formation for a year, yet he commands such respect?!’

’It seems we can’t stay in Jinyun Valley any longer!’

’We should avoid a direct confrontation for now...’

Seeing Jinyun Valley, once in an uproar, calm down in a single moment, combined with the might he had shown by killing several Golden Core Cultivators and the authority to make his words law, terrified the Tribulation Cultivators out of their wits.

In that same moment, they unleashed their True Essence with all their might, desperate to escape.

”Trying to leave?”

Chen Che laughed loudly and abruptly waved his sleeve.

WHOOSH—

Everyone watched as the Sword Group suddenly dispersed again, forming a vortex like a massive hurricane that instantly enveloped the entire Jinyun Valley, blocking their path.

SPLAT!

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators flew head-first into it and were immediately torn to shreds by the Sword Qi.

...

As Chen Che began his massacre, his Flying Swords blanketing Jinyun Valley...

...a hundred li outside the valley, several Golden Core Cultivators stared ahead in shock, the light in their eyes flickering. With their Cultivation, they could naturally perceive the terror of that Sword Group!

Over ten thousand Flying Swords, like a great net, covered heaven and earth!

”This Valley Master Chen... he’s actually a Sword Cultivator.”

CRACK!

An old Golden Core Cultivator had a look of utter horror on his face.

The reason he hadn’t entered the Market wasn’t that he feared Jinyun Valley’s strength, but that he felt too many Golden Core Cultivators had answered the call. He had only barely managed Core Formation as his lifespan was nearing its end, and he didn’t think he could snatch the credit from a group of other Golden Core Cultivators.

Only now did he realize how terribly wrong he had been.

”This isn’t a pack of tigers hunting a sheep; it’s a tiger slaughtering a flock of sheep!” The old Golden Core Cultivator’s expression changed drastically. ”Anyone who dared to answer that call was just looking for death...”

As the old man reeled in horror, he quickly retreated another hundred li, terrified of being drawn into the fray.

It wasn’t just him. In several other locations a hundred li from Jinyun Valley, many other Cultivators watched on with shock and solemnity. For various reasons, they had not set foot in Jinyun Valley, and now they were witnessing the entire situation unfold.

For a moment, all their faces were ashen.

’Is this the power of someone who reached Core Formation less than a year ago?’

’I’m still stabilizing my Cultivation at this stage, yet he’s already using a Sword Group to envelop the entire valley, killing Golden Core Cultivators as easily as chickens and dogs. What kind of gap is this?’ The difference was clear at a glance.

”If nothing unexpected happens, all the Tribulation Cultivators who came this time will perish here.”

”Indeed.”

”It’s best we leave first. We don’t want him to come after us once he’s dealt with them.”

Seeing this, the Golden Core Cultivators outside the valley were already thinking of retreating.

After all, no matter how high the reward, the danger was too great. It wasn’t worth losing your life over.

And within the Sword Array, the many Cultivators looked even more desperate.

”Are we all going to die here today?”

As the Sword Group’s vortex manifested, several more Golden Core Cultivators fell.

As for the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they were already using all their strength just to resist the Sword Qi. Now, the Sword Group was constantly shrinking, and they were only a few breaths away from being minced to pieces.

”It’s about to end.”

Meng Qianxun couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Even the Cultivators of Jinyun Valley were preparing to cheer.

But just then, a sigh suddenly came from within the Sword Group:

”Valley Master Chen, must you truly slaughter us all?”

The voice descended like a heavenly peal of thunder.

SWOOSH!

Under numerous shocked gazes, an unremarkable figure rose from among the crowd of Foundation Establishment Cultivators. His aura surged higher and higher, like that of an Immortal, as he ascended several hundred zhang into the sky.

The man wore a long robe and carried a Long Spear on his back. He seemed inconspicuous, but in the eyes of the crowd, he appeared to grow infinitely large, even rivaling the illusory image of Chen Che above Jinyun Valley!

This was clearly an illusion caused by the immense gap in their Cultivation levels.

”Slaughter you all?”

The illusory figure spoke slowly, his voice tinged with ridicule. ”As Tribulation Cultivators, you should have known this day would come... If you had breached Jinyun Valley, would you have spared the people In the Valley?”

The man didn’t answer.

Because Chen Che was telling the truth.

If they had breached Jinyun Valley, at least seventy or eighty percent of the Cultivators here would have died. There were even many Evil Cultivators mixed in among them who had come purely for the slaughter.

”It seems Valley Master Chen is unwilling to let us leave.”

The man with the spear on his back let out a soft chuckle.

Chen Che had demonstrated immense power, but he was confident that he was no slouch either. The only reason he hadn’t acted yet was his concern about the price he would have to pay to kill Chen Che. He was even worried that other Golden Core Cultivators would take advantage of the situation.

Chen Che didn’t reply, but his actions spoke for him.

”Stay!”

As the heavenly voice fell, the illusory figure raised its hand and waved.

RUMBLE!

The swirling vortex of the Sword Group instantly found an outlet, transforming into a surging river. It seemed poised to drown the man and all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in one go.

Its momentum was several times more powerful than before.

”Good, good, good!”

However, faced with Chen Che’s attack, the man said ”good” three times in a row. The fighting spirit in his eyes flared as he slowly raised the Long Spear in his hand and leisurely thrust it forward.

TING!

A soft chime rang out.

The next instant, a series of explosions erupted from the void.

BOOM—

Amidst the colossal roar, True Essence billowed out, coiling around the spear’s shaft. In an instant, it shot out for several thousand zhang, spanning the sky above Jinyun Valley. It was like a ferocious dragon surging from the man’s hand. In a single moment, the mighty Sword Group was split down the middle as if by a powerful dragon parting the waves.

It even parted the sky-spanning vortex of the Sword Group in that same instant.

CRACK!

The spear’s momentum blasted through the Sword Group and struck the illusory Spiritual Light figure above Jinyun Valley head-on.

BANG!

The illusory figure’s body trembled, then burst into light, shattering section by section until it vanished into nothingness.

A dead silence fell over the world, leaving only the voice of the spear-wielding Golden Core Cultivator to echo:

”Valley Master Chen, are you willing to let us leave now?”
