Chapter 408 - 409: Changes in the Desolate Forest
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
Within the Endless Wilderness, the roars of beasts tore through the sky.
Terrifying Demon Beasts fled outwards one after another, as if running for their lives.
Perhaps, in that moment, they were cursing up a storm in their hearts.
The Barbarian God Battle Platform had opened, drawing countless experts deep into the wilderness, forcing the beasts to flee to the outskirts.
But now, hiding on the fringes, they discovered that these damned humans seemed unwilling to let them go, instead launching a carpet search sweeping outwards.
’Are they trying to slaughter every last one of us?’
Seeing these factions pressing them relentlessly, countless intelligent Demon Beasts grew furious.
If they fled any further, they would reach the borders of the Grand Emperor Country, where they would surely be suppressed and killed by its experts.
And so, they would resist. They had to fight back.
These Demon Beasts chose to fight the Cultivators to the death, to carve a Blood Road for themselves.
At first, the disciples of the various factions were unaware of the beasts’ intentions. Their goal was to find Ye Wushuang.
But they soon discovered countless powerful Demon Beasts had begun to attack them frenziedly. Caught off guard, many of them died.
Now, the factions were enraged as well, sparking a world-shaking war.
The war escalated, and even the dormant Demon Kings grew furious, starting battles with the old fossils of the Yin Yang Realm.
In just two short days, the outskirts of the Endless Wilderness were littered with corpses piled into mountains and rivers of blood. The casualties among the Demon Beasts and the disciples of the major influences were innumerable.
Even more terrifyingly, several of the old fossils from the Yin Yang Realm had also fallen.
If not for the intervention of the newly-emerged Nirvana Realm Great Powers, the Endless Wilderness would have likely erupted into an ultimate showdown.
Meanwhile, the other main cause of all this chaos had gradually vanished from everyone’s sight.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang’s figure had already appeared on the outskirts.
Sensing the immense energy fluctuations and heaven-shaking clashes in all directions, he couldn’t help but sneer.
"I bet quite a few people died in that."
Ye Wushuang murmured. How could he not be aware of what was happening in the Endless Wilderness?
"I’ve reached the outskirts now. A few more steps and I’ll be out of the Endless Wilderness. Qing’er and Master have probably returned to the Sect by now, so I don’t need to worry."
"It seems a great era is dawning. Nirvana Great Powers, who I’d never even heard of before, are re-emerging into the world. This will be a severe challenge for me."
"Once I leave this time, besides raising my Cultivation, finding my father, and searching for Holy Medicine, I must find a way to replenish the Spirit Veins needed for my Spirit Core, activate the War Fortress, and cultivate a powerful force of my own."
Ye Wushuang calculated silently. With the appearance of previously unseen Nirvana Realm Great Powers, he feared the future would only be more dangerous and difficult.
’I wonder where I’ll end up once I leave this place?’
Ye Wushuang sighed and took a step to leave.
However, just as he took that first step, a cold voice abruptly rang out from behind him. "You’ve come this far. Do you really think you can leave?"
BOOM!
As the voice faded, figures flashed into view.
One by one, figures with Ancient Swords on their backs strode through the air, their terrifying sharpness painting the void with a murderous aura.
Ye Wushuang abruptly halted and turned around.
Instantly, a cold smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Weren’t the newcomers none other than Liu Tianlan from the Celestial Sword Sect?
"Execute the Heaven-Forsaken Son!" Liu Tianlan ordered coldly. The group of disciples beside him flickered like Sword Light, surrounding Ye Wushuang.
And in front of Ye Wushuang, only Liu Tianlan remained!
His eyes were like swords, exuding a sharp Sword Intent and a piercing killing intent.
"Heaven-Forsaken Son, accept your death."
Liu Tianlan’s eyes were filled with venomous resentment. Their duel on the Battle Platform had nearly shattered his Dao Heart. In front of all those major influences, Ye Wushuang had utterly humiliated him. For that, he hated Ye Wushuang to the bone.
"Accept my death?" Ye Wushuang scoffed. "I don’t know whether to praise your confidence or mock your stupidity. You’ve already lost once, yet you still have the nerve to declare that I should accept my death. Are you an idiot?"
"Things are different now. I’ve had a fortuitous encounter and received a Sword Intent inheritance. My strength has soared, and today is the day I reclaim my honor!"
CLANG! Liu Tianlan drew his sword.
A terrifying Sword Intent annihilated all the surrounding trees.
This Sword Intent was indeed far, far stronger than before!
KILL!
The surrounding group of Celestial Sword Sect disciples seized the opportunity to strike, launching their assault from all directions.
Brilliant Sword Auras flared. The Sword Dao Slaughter was terrifying beyond compare, forming a net of swords that descended upon him.
But in the blink of an eye, Ye Wushuang’s figure vanished from the void.
The next instant, he reappeared outside the encirclement.
Even more bizarrely, the heads of several Celestial Sword Sect disciples flew into the air, blood fountaining from their necks in a chilling display.
Liu Tianlan’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them. Although he didn’t know about Ye Wushuang’s Shadow Kill technique, as long as he locked onto Ye Wushuang with his Divine Sense, the boy wouldn’t be able to escape.
"Die!"
With an explosive shout, Endless Sword Intent was madly absorbed by his Ancient Sword as Sword Qi crisscrossed the air.
This time, Liu Tianlan directly used the final move of the Celestial Sword Technique, charging at Ye Wushuang. It was as if everything had become a sword; even the dust motes in the air transformed into a terrifying Sword Dao Slaughter that swarmed toward Ye Wushuang.
"You were pathetically weak before, and you’re still the same now!"
Ye Wushuang shook his head, a disdainful smile blooming on his lips. A surge of Heaven-Soaring Sword Intent shot to the heavens, suppressing all other Sword Intents.
Liu Tianlan’s Sword Intent was drowned beneath this wave of Heaven-Soaring Sword Intent.
"How is this possible?"
Liu Tianlan’s eyes froze. His strength had clearly increased by a great deal, so why was he still not Ye Wushuang’s match?
"Nothing is impossible. Your heart is too small, your vision too narrow. You only see yourself getting stronger, but you ignore the fact that while you were improving, others were improving even more."
An indifferent voice echoed in the void.
The sky full of Sword Intent was obliterated by the Heaven-Soaring Sword. Liu Tianlan’s body was engulfed by the Sword Intent and sent flying, smashing through countless Ancient Trees.
Defeated. Defeated in a single move, again!
He was getting stronger, but wasn’t Ye Wushuang getting stronger too?
At this moment, he finally realized that the gap between him and Ye Wushuang wasn’t just a small one—it was immense. He was completely unworthy of trying to kill Ye Wushuang.
BOOM!
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Wushuang took a step, suppressing Liu Tianlan with the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon.
Liu Tianlan’s expression changed drastically. He dodged and fled. If he stayed any longer, he would surely be killed.
Flee!
Ye Wushuang took another step and gave chase, instantly closing the distance.
Blood Escape!
Terror appeared on Liu Tianlan’s face. Ye Wushuang’s speed had increased yet again. He made a snap decision, unleashing a Forbidden Technique and transforming into a streak of bloody Sword Light that shot toward the Firmament.
Seeing this, Ye Wushuang stopped his body, not giving chase.
Once he set foot into the Firmament, he would inevitably attract the attention of those old bastards from the Yin Yang Realm.
Instead, his gaze locked onto the group of Celestial Sword Sect disciples behind him, and a cold smile formed on his lips!
BOOM!
He turned and took a single stride, directly unleashing the Seven Steps of the Reversed Dragon to suppress them.
At the same time, the Cultivation of the Spiritual Spring Fifth Layer erupted from him. A terrifying Sword Intent sealed off the area, trapping the group of Celestial Sword Sect disciples who hadn’t had time to escape.
"Submit, or die!"
Ye Wushuang shouted coldly. Before him, enemies had two choices: submit, or be destroyed!
