Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 461: Chapter 430: Total Annihilation

BOOM!

An unstoppable Sword Rainbow swept through the sky.

It stretched out a hundred li from where Chen Che stood.

The mountain range, which had already been leveled, now bore a colossal gash after the Sword Qi swept past. It was as if the earth itself had been cleaved in two. In its wake, countless streams trembled and diverted, swiftly converging to form a great river.

Churning waves surged and crashed.

Caught in this single strike, Xiao Hongchen was instantly ground to dust by the Sword Qi, vanishing without a trace. Only half of a shattered shield was left to fall to the ground with a BANG.

”Th-th-this...”

Guang Hui, locked in a life-or-death struggle with Xiao Chan, was so shocked his jaw dropped.

While it was true that a Golden Core True Master possessed the power to move mountains and part seas, an attack of this magnitude, stretching for a hundred li, was unheard of.

However, he had no time to dwell on it, for Xiao Chan was already upon him.

”Valley Master Chen, let’s stop here! We were forced into this by Duobao. There’s no need for this to be a fight to the death. Why don’t we end it now?” Fan Sulan was utterly terrified. She backed away, holding up a hand to stop him.

If that last strike had been off by even a few feet, it would have shredded her on the spot. The terrifying Sword Momentum sent a shiver of pure fear through her very core.

The others were just as horrified.

Even Yu Zhen was clearly thinking of retreat.

”That’s not what you said when you were after my flesh and blood a moment ago, Fan Sulan!” Chen Che’s gaze shifted. The Fierce Flood Dragon Lock Chain shot out, wrapping around layer upon layer. He then clenched his fist, and the chain constricted like a great serpent crushing its prey.

Though it missed Fan Sulan, the Fierce Flood Dragon Lock Chain still crushed the very air, causing it to crackle and explode.

’This little bastard won’t let it go.’

Seeing that the others were wavering, Yu Zhen gritted his teeth and shouted, ”Even if he agrees to stop today, what do you think will happen if any of us run into him alone in the future?”

He had orchestrated this entire plan.

If Chen Che decided to retaliate, he would be the primary target. If they didn’t kill this brat now, were they supposed to wait for him to reach the Nascent Soul realm and come back for revenge? His words struck a chord, and the others’ hearts trembled, their eyes filled with a mixture of shock and fear.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

In the blink of an eye, Chen Che was once again clashing with the six Golden Core Powerhouses.

He executed an Iron Mountain Lean, sending a Hurricane Mantis that charged from the side flying. Seizing the brief opening, he swallowed a Fierce Beast Pill to replenish his True Essence. At the same time, he waved a hand, and an orange Fire Snake shot through the air.

”Protect!”

She watched in horror as the terrifying Divine Ability swept toward her.

The Talisman Cultivator, Jiang Yutong, was scared out of her wits. She flicked her wrist, and three Talismans resembling the Nine Bends Exquisite Pagoda floated into the air. Amid a shimmering light, the sound of monstrous waves crashing against the sky suddenly echoed all around.

The cultivators felt the scene before them blur. It was as if a sea a hundred li wide had materialized out of thin air, its waves surging without end.

BOOM!

Then, the seawater roiled, and without warning, a thousand-layered wave erupted to envelop her.

The Green Sea Tide-Birth Talisman was a Tier Three High Grade Talisman.

She had drawn seven of them in her life. Each Talisman required exactly 130,007 strokes and took at least three months to complete, meaning the seven successful ones alone took twenty-one months. In reality, accounting for all the failed attempts, it had taken her a full eight years to create those seven.

If the time spent creating the talisman paper and gathering the Materials was included, the total time spent was nineteen years.

Each Green Sea Tide-Birth Talisman had saved her from a fatal blow in the past. Now, with only three left, she released them all at once without a moment’s hesitation.

”Huh?”

Just as the others were wondering why Jiang Yutong was in such a panic, they saw the Fire Snake touch the waves.

FWOOSH—

Nine Transformations Spirit Flame Technique.

It burns stone. It burns water. It burns air. It burns everything!

The moment the flame touched the seawater, it was like dropping fire into a pot of oil—the entire illusionary ocean ignited instantly. In the blink of an eye, a sea of fire filled the sky, spanning for several li.

”Aaargh!”

With a blood-curdling scream, Jiang Yutong was engulfed by the flames. The others could only watch in shock as she was reduced to ash amidst her own wails.

Even her Divine Soul was annihilated in the blaze.

’I won’t be able to use the Nine Transformations Spirit Flame Technique for the next six months,’ Chen Che thought.

Using the flame to forcibly burn through three Tier Three High Grade Defense Talismans had severely overdrawn this Divine Ability.

”Th-this... sigh!”

Yu Zhen’s legs were trembling with fear. When he saw Chen Che turn to look at him, he let out a long sigh and brandished his Duster, his expression turning solemn. At the same time, his face began to age at a visible rate.

WHOOSH—

His white hair floated up around him as his aura surged dramatically.

The expressions of the other Golden Core Powerhouses changed instantly.

Yu Zhen was burning his life force, preparing to fight to the death.

”If I survive this, I will storm the Primordial Sect and demand an explanation from Duobao!”

Fan Sulan roared in fury and terror upon seeing Yu Zhen’s desperate gamble. She had expected an easy mission, but Chen Che had pushed them this far. She hated Chen Che with a passion, but she hated Duobao even more.

But she had no time to dwell on it; she quickly formed a Dharma Seal.

HISS—

Her battered Silver Tubed Foxes let out a strange cry, the sound waves rippling outward and visibly distorting reality.

Seeing this, the others wore bitter expressions. They had no choice but to either burn their Essence Blood or sacrifice their lifespans to make their own last stands.

In an instant, almost all of their eyes turned bloodshot.

”Kill him!”

At this point, no one dared hold back. The Golden Core Cultivators threw caution to the wind, unleashing every trump card they possessed.

Now, either Chen Che would die, or they would all be annihilated. There was no other possibility.

Innumerable spells of Magic and Magical Treasures assailed him from all sides: Yu Zhen’s Jade Ruyi and Duster, Fan Sulan’s Flying Sword and Tubed Foxes, Fei Tongyu’s Hurricane Mantis... Even Chen Che was being pushed to his absolute limit.

Even the Little Chick unleashed its Demon Qi to the fullest. Its Feathers shot out in a swarm like a volley of Flying Swords, instantly obliterating one of the Magic Cultivators.

BANG!

With a point of his finger, the suction from the Yellow Gourd intensified, swallowing the frost conjured by Yu Zhen’s Jade Ruyi. Then, with a mental command, the Little Chick dove, knocking aside two lunging Hurricane Mantises.

Simultaneously, his Sword Pill spun to form a Sword Shield, blocking a strike from Fan Sulan’s Flying Sword.

These were all powerful figures, like Overseas Dragons, far stronger than ordinary Golden Core Cultivators. Now that they were fighting for their lives, they were completely reckless. Each attack taxed their bodies to the limit, shaking the heavens and the earth. The mountain range that once stood there collapsed completely, leaving only a basin.

Though Chen Che’s body was tough and his True Essence abundant, even he was forced to cough up blood and retreat continuously against such a suicidal onslaught.

Yu Zhen raised his hand and brought the Jade Ruyi crashing down. The Yellow Gourd was still occupied elsewhere, and Chen Che was tied up with Fan Sulan. He could only thrust out his left hand, erupting with True Essence to defend himself. But the True Essence Shield shattered instantly, and the blow landed squarely on his chest.

THUD—

Amid the dull thud, the sickening crackle of breaking bones could be heard. He stumbled back several steps, spraying a mist of blood.

”He’s at his limit!” Yu Zhen shouted, unable to contain his joy at the sight.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, the others redoubled their attacks.

”At my limit?”

Chen Che’s gaze hardened. He stomped a foot down, halting his retreat.

HISS—

”Now!”

At Fan Sulan’s command, the four Tubed Foxes hissed again, their cries rolling out in disorienting waves. In that instant, the scene before Chen Che blurred, the clangor of the battlefield transforming into the sensual quiet of a lavish boudoir.

The four Silver Tubed Foxes had become four alluring Female Cultivators.

This was no ordinary Illusion Technique. It was a direct assault on the Divine Soul, much like a Heart Demon. It was said that even the most ascetic monk would have their desires stirred by it.

The Tubed Foxes’ previous cries had only managed to distract Chen Che for a split second, but this new assault was far more powerful.

”Die!”

As the illusion flickered before him, Chen Che recklessly blasted out with his Divine Sense. Amplified by his Fierce Eyes, his consciousness erupted without warning like a volcano that had lain dormant for a millennium.

Fan Sulan had gone to great lengths to collect these four Tubed Foxes, raising them with a special Secret Technique. While not powerful in direct combat, the strength and flexibility of their Divine Sense far surpassed that of an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator.

Otherwise, they would never have been able to affect even someone like Chen Che.

But now, Chen Che’s Divine Sense was surging. No matter how strong the Tubed Foxes’ own senses were, they couldn’t withstand the deluge. With a series of four soft POPS, their seas of consciousness were stretched to the breaking point and burst.

Instantly, Chen Che’s mind cleared, and he was pulled back from the illusion into reality.

However, the forced eruption of Divine Sense sent a shock through Chen Che’s own sea of consciousness. Blood trickled from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and he was struck by temporary deafness.

”Agh!”

The Tubed Foxes were spiritually linked to Fan Sulan. With all four of them dead, she suffered a severe backlash and let out a pained scream.

Chen Che’s only response was his sword.

Pfft!

Instantly, the woman was cleaved in two, her eyes still wide with horror.

...

BANG!

Seventeen breaths later, Chen Che took a direct hit from Yu Zhen’s Jade Ruyi, coughing up another mouthful of blood. He ignored the injury, however, and flung his Gourd forward, smashing the Beast Master Fei Tongyu and the Hurricane Mantis shielding him into a bloody pulp.

The other Hurricane Mantis shrieked and tried to flee.

It turned out that Fei Tongyu had attached his Divine Soul to his Spirit Pet just before death.

”Trying to run?”

Chen Che pointed a finger. The bald Little Chick, wreathed in a gale, dove from the sky. Its Demon Qi flared, its body suddenly swelling to a hundred zhang in size, and it swallowed the Hurricane Mantis whole.

CRUNCH!

With a single sickening crunch, the Hurricane Mantis was chewed to bits.

「A short while later.」

Chen Che put everything he had into commanding the Yellow Gourd to smash Yu Zhen’s Jade Ruyi. The resulting shockwave felt like it rearranged his internal organs, but he ignored the pain and once again unleashed the Great Sun Style, shredding another fleeing Golden Core Cultivator.

In the blink of an eye, only Yu Zhen remained.

At this moment, Yu Zhen’s courage finally shattered.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chan finally ran the struggling Guang Hui through with his Soul-Calling Banner. A powerful suction erupted from the banner. As Xiao Chan withdrew it, the weapon not only devoured all of Guang Hui’s Essence Blood but also ripped his very Divine Soul from his body.

Guang Hui collapsed without even a chance to scream. Next to him lay two other desiccated corpses, killed in the same manner.

Then, Xiao Chan lifted his head, his face a mask of cold indifference.

Chen Che wiped the blood from his lips. Just as he was preparing to press his advantage and finish off Yu Zhen, the man’s terror finally overwhelmed him. He cried out hastily:

”Valley Master Chen, wait!”
