Chapter 745 - 266: Spirit Manifestation (Part 2)
"Hmm?"
His divine sense was sweeping repeatedly when Shen Wen’an suddenly noticed a slight fluctuation in the void near the Hidden Dragon Mountain side of Yunshui City.
Following that, a peculiar flying shuttle emerged from the void.
The flying shuttle was entirely illusory, difficult to see with the naked eye.
Silently breaking through the void, it was instantly retracted, replaced by two figures wearing form-fitting long robes in profound black, crowned with heaven-reaching crowns.
"So they possess this kind of ability..."
Having dealt with the Underworld beings several times, this was the first time he had seen how they traversed between worlds.
On the opposite side, as soon as the two Underworld beings appeared, they sensed a divine sense sweeping precisely over their area.
Their previously indifferent faces suddenly changed color.
These hiding mice, typical in their plunder of Golden Nature, would ruthlessly kill anyone who discovered their true forms with divine sense. Now that Shen Wen’an had directly seen them using the Void Escape Shuttle to travel between worlds, there was no way they could let him go.
Without any hesitation, upon confirming the divine sense’s owner was Shen Wen’an, the two Underworld beings instantly flashed towards him to attack.
Yet Shen Wen’an, seeing this, revealed a faint smile on his face.
It wasn’t his first time dealing with the Underworld. When his divine sense swept over these two, he could already determine that they were somewhat weaker than the one from the Underworld who appeared when he broke through to the Golden Core realm.
Because there were only two purple-black Netherworld Gems in the heaven-reaching crowns above their heads, indicating strength similar to that of the Underworld being who previously came with Fu Yang to seize his Golden Nature.
But seeing the two Underworld beings attacking without distinguishing between green and red, Shen Wen’an’s mind moved slightly, instantly setting up numerous Sword Intent Cyan Lotus in front of them.
Over a dozen Sword Intent Cyan Lotuses took root in the void and instantly bloomed.
The crisscrossing Sword Intent and Sword Qi spread out, directly forcing the two from their concealment within the void.
"A Golden Core cultivator..."
Forced out by the Sword Intent Sword Qi, the two looked at Shen Wen’an with doubt.
In their understanding, Golden Core cultivators from various worlds would usually avoid them at all costs.
This was the first time they encountered a Golden Core cultivator who, instead of fleeing, dared to take the initiative.
"This ant bears the aura of our Underworld!"
After closely observing, one of the Underworld beings, a slender youth with a deathly pale face, spoke gravely.
The other, with a sallow complexion, also turned grim upon hearing this.
"This ant has harmed our Underworld’s envoy?"
As he spoke, he formed hand seals, and a large amount of cold, purple aura condensed in front of him, gradually transforming into an ancient book.
As the book appeared, a fierce gleam flashed through his eyes!
"He has killed an Underworld envoy and injured the Yin General!"
Clearly, Shen Wen’an was now regarded as a notorious figure within the Underworld, listed for grave offenses.
After a brief consultation, the two immediately knew of his past deeds.
Knowing this, the two Underworld beings no longer dared to act impulsively and even quietly retreated a few steps.
Being just Yin Envoys themselves, they knew they were no match for someone daring enough to strike a Yin General.
After exchanging a covert glance, one of them swiftly waved to release the previously retracted Void Escape Shuttle, tearing through the void to escape!
Shen Wen’an hadn’t expected the usually arrogant Underworld beings to retreat so decisively.
When he realized this, the Void Escape Shuttle was already gone.
Seeing this, Shen Wen’an furrowed his brows, a hint of frustration flashing in his eyes.
He had a premonition that if he had struck down these two Underworld beings and absorbed their power, it would have certainly perfected the rune mark on his Lifebound Flying Sword.
Moreover, allowing them to escape this time might result in them reporting back, inviting even stronger beings from the Underworld.
This was a terrifying force occupying the Dao Source Secret Realm, far exceeding the Nascent Soul influence in power.
Being targeted by them was definitely not a good thing.
"Chongming, things have changed. Can you break through quickly?"
After pondering inwardly, Shen Wen’an immediately transmitted his voice to Shen Chongming, who was in the process of breaking through.
At present, the key to the Underworld anchoring Yangnao Land lay in the cultivator breaking through to the Golden Core realm, triggering Heaven to bestow Immortal Golden Nature.
If Shen Chongming could successfully break through before then and lead the Golden Nature into himself, the Underworld beings might lose their anchor and be unable to descend again upon Yunshui City.
In the void, Shen Chongming instantly understood upon hearing this.
Something major must have happened; otherwise, his third uncle would never have risked disturbing his breakthrough to transmit such a message.
Thinking of this, he immediately spread his arms, capturing the pure spiritual energy descending from the Celestial Gate at a faster pace.
Seeing this, Shen Wen’an secretly clenched his fist, standing vigilantly by.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
It seemed as though everything was predestined, with the purest spiritual energy from the Celestial Gate nearly exhausted under Shen Chongming’s active, rapid absorption.
The golden light piercing through the clouds gradually dimmed, and the massive vortex in the void slowly contracted.
Witnessing this, the heart Shen Wen’an had been holding also gradually settled.
With the surrounding thunder power gathering from the clouds, he could feel that Shen Chongming’s inner core was almost at the same stage as his own back then.
Though a "Flawed Golden Core," it wasn’t lacking much.
All he needed now was to wait for the Celestial Gate to close and use the Divine Three Flowers to lead Heaven’s bestowed Immortal Golden Nature into himself. The Underworld beings would likely find no further opportunity to strike.
