Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Elder Save Me
The esteemed young geniuses of the Fairy Valley, would they really stoop to lick a cow’s behind?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Wu Mo and his companions exchanged glances, a trace of ferocity in each other’s eyes. They immediately took action, hoping to rely on their numerical advantage to kill Guang Xiaoyu.
Regrettably, Guang Xiaoyu was simply too powerful.
A casually unleashed Sword Intent, overwhelming and unstoppable, left them with no ability to counter. They were all heavily injured amidst the clamor.
Guang Xiaoyu sneered, "If you’re unwilling to keep your promise, this lady will have no choice but to kill you all." As she spoke, the wooden sword in her hand pointed down, and a chill pervaded the air.
The seven of them felt suffocated, ultimately forced to fulfill their promise.
It was a scene that could only be described as ’too ghastly to bear’; the process was a hundred times more painful than consuming excrement.
Bai Yisheng and the others couldn’t bear to watch, turning their heads away.
Zi Ji couldn’t help but speak up, "Elder Sister, it seems like Lao Huang hasn’t had a bath in a long while."
BLARGH!
The seven of them retched, their complexions as pale as snow, their bodies shaking all over. Fury burned in their hearts, yet they dared not make a move.
Lao Huang, as always, rolled his eyes and shook his powerful frame. His face was filled with discontent and fury. However, deep within those eyes, there seemed to be a trace of... enjoyment.
Guang Xiaoyu gave it a glance. It must be an illusion!
「...」
The Nine Heavens. Fairy Valley.
A group of high-ranking powerhouses was striving to breach the Spatial Barrier, attempting to enter the Heaven Martial Continent to rescue the young members of their Sect.
After a year of strenuous effort, the high-ranking members of Fairy Valley finally succeeded in sending a Steward into Soup Valley...
There was no other way.
The cost of breaching the Spatial Barrier was simply too great.
Sending a Steward at the Lord level into the Heaven Martial Continent was the result of careful deliberation among the higher-ups.
First, his cultivation realm was not high, so it wouldn’t affect the stability of the passage.
Second, they believed a Lord-level existence should be invincible in the Heaven Martial Continent.
The Heaven Martial Continent was known to be a prison. With him going there, it would be sufficient to rescue the young members of the Sect.
"Finally, it’s a success, hah!" an Elder laughed.
"Indeed! Indeed! It’s been a whole year. I wonder how those little rascals are doing," another person chimed in. "Soup Valley is, after all, the dwelling place of that clan, alas..."
"Don’t worry, they’re all very smart and probably won’t act rashly."
"Yes, Bai Yisheng is also there. With his caution, he’s more than capable of protecting his fellow disciples."
「...」
The Steward who descended was named Liu Kuangyi, a Lord at the First Heaven, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
This time, he bore a great responsibility: to represent Fairy Valley, enter the Heaven Martial Continent, and rescue the young members of the Sect.
Before his departure, he had read extensively about the Heaven Martial Continent. The records most often described it as a prison where ancient criminals were exiled, where Spirit Qi was depleted, and the Tao did not manifest.
This continent had hardly any Cultivators.
Liu Kuangyi smiled.
The moment he arrived, he extended his Divine Sense. After surveying his surroundings, he found the Heaven Martial Continent was exactly as the ancient records described.
Indeed, there was barely any Spirit Qi, nor was the Tao manifest here.
With such a desolate environment, as a Lord at the First Heaven, won’t I be invincible? His smile beamed...
But as he laughed, his smile suddenly froze.
Before him, a mass of dark clouds covered a vast area. Thunder rolled across the sky like roaring dragons, and from within the clouds, the Power of Destruction was being unleashed.
He was momentarily stunned.
Soon after, he witnessed an unforgettable scene. More than a dozen colossal figures materialized from the lightning, their eyes gleaming eerily. Each wielded a different Divine Weapon as they attacked whatever lay below.
???
Liu Kuangyi was dumbfounded. A tribulation? Damn it, weren’t there supposed to be no Cultivators on the Heaven Martial Continent? Who is undergoing a tribulation? This can’t be happening!He had only ever witnessed such a terrifying tribulation—complete with the Power of Destruction and manifesting sentient beings—when the Sect’s ’Fairy’ underwent hers.
Meanwhile, beneath the tribulation.
Chen Pingping was struck by lightning until smoke billowed from his seven orifices. After scrambling to his feet, he greedily swallowed Spirit Pills; he had plenty of them, after all.
Beside him, Jiang Ni’er was busy divining the future.
BOOM!
A massive dragon of lightning roared, tearing through the Void as it lunged at Chen Pingping.
He glanced over, unfazed, remaining calm and composed...
Liu Kuangyi witnessed this entire scene unfold with horrifying clarity. In an instant, a chilling numbness spread through him.
What was truly terrifying was that as the lightning dragon engulfed Chen Pingping, he activated a Divine Skill. His body blazed like the sun. It was unclear what Divine Skill it was, but it actually repelled the dragon.
Liu Kuangyi felt a suffocating pressure, his nerves stretched taut.
"It’s done," Jiang Ni’er said, opening her eyes.
Chen Pingping, his clothes in tatters, lifted his head. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked, "What did you see?"
"Er..." Jiang Ni’er’s face flushed red. "Chen, don’t you want to change your clothes?"
WHOOSH!
Chen Pingping waved his hand, and a new set of clothes appeared on him. "Alright," he said. "Speak!"
"Your Master is in a perilous situation. A formidable enemy is attacking her, but... she’s barely holding on, protected by the Undying Furnace above her," Jiang Ni’er reported.
Chen Pingping murmured, "Hmm..."
"Also, it seems someone from the Nine Heavens has descended," Jiang Ni’er added, instinctively glancing in Liu Kuangyi’s direction.
He was dozens of miles away.
She was not a Cultivator, so naturally, she couldn’t see Liu Kuangyi. However, she had foreseen his location through the Heavenly Fortune Tao.
A chill ran down Liu Kuangyi’s spine.
Chen Pingping frowned. Hmm?
He opened the Heavenly Book and began to make calculations.The next moment, the space around Liu Kuangyi warped. No, it was the principles of the Heavenly Fortune Tao manifesting. When he raised his head again...
In the distance, Chen Pingping, holding the Heavenly Book, was walking towards him, one step at a time.
A fiery and striking Divine Brilliance enveloped Chen Pingping, making him appear sacred and holy, like a God walking among mortals.
"Elder, save me!" Liu Kuangyi shrieked, his terror now undeniable. He spun around and fled madly towards the passage.
The rift in the Spatial Barrier, the passage itself, was still there, not yet closed.
Meanwhile, the group of high-ranking powerhouses from Fairy Valley heard Liu Kuangyi’s voice, though it was somewhat muffled.
"What did he say?" an elder asked, startled.
"Not quite sure..."
"Did he say to quickly close the passage through the Spatial Barrier?"
"Surely not? It sounded like only a few words."
"Then he must have said, ’Close the passage.’"
This interpretation quickly gained everyone’s approval.
Maintaining the passage consumed a vast amount of resources. Liu Kuangyi’s consideration deeply moved them all.
This boy truly has the Sect’s best interests at heart! Knowing our difficulties, he asked us to quickly close the passage as soon as he entered the Heaven Martial Continent!
Thinking this, the elder took a deep breath, then waved his hand. The power source was cut, the passage severed, and the Spatial Barrier sealed itself once more.
Liu Kuangyi cried out in despair, utterly stupefied.
He had been just about to reach the passage, but it... closed? What happened? Could it be that Demon Race powerhouses were attacking again?
Left with no other choice, he could only flee into the distance.
By the time Chen Pingping arrived, only faint ripples of energy lingered in the air. His brows were tightly knit. The Heavenly Book in his hands was already closed, its Divine Brilliance dimmed.
Jiang Ni’er pointed in a direction. "He ran off," she said.
Chen Pingping couldn’t help but grumble, "Seriously, are all Cultivators from the Nine Heavens this cowardly?"
「...」
「Fairy Valley.」
"This is bad!" A middle-aged Steward suddenly had a terrible realization. He stared at the sealed passage and exclaimed, "We can’t contact Steward Liu anymore!"
The group of high-ranking members looked up, utterly bewildered. ???
