Chapter 434 - 414: Defeating the Enemy in One Strike, the Final Ultimatum
Outside Jade Dew Island.
Shenxiao, Lin Yinxiu, gazed at the sky.
The heavy tribulation clouds scattered, revealing shimmering golden lotuses and a five-colored radiance!
"Celestial Dao Essence."
"He succeeded!"
"As of today, the Southern Region’s Outer Sea has another Golden Core cultivator!"
Lin Yinxiu murmured softly.
She gently brushed a strand of golden-white hair behind her ear.
As she looked toward Jade Dew Island, a look of awe and admiration flickered in her beautiful eyes.
"A Ninefold Thunder Tribulation!"
"That’s a Six Methods Golden Core at least... and a Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect!"
"This Mr. Su has a boundless future... In a hundred years or so, he might even become a Nascent Soul True Monarch!"
Suddenly,
A grave expression appeared in Lin Yinxiu’s eyes.
"Mr. Chu!"
"Don’t act rashly! You’ll cause a misunderstanding!"
She mobilized her Magical Power, issuing a warning.
But,
Chu Wunian moved faster!
"Silence!"
"Immortal Capturing Rope!"
A rope shimmering with golden light shot out from Chu Wunian’s sleeve!
The Immortal Capturing Rope instantly bound Shenxiao, immobilizing her!
"How dare you?!"
"Don’t get in my way!"
After restraining Lin Yinxiu, Chu Wunian flickered and transformed into a plume of pure white smoke, lunging toward Jade Dew Island at an unimaginable speed!
Chu Wunian’s gaze was electric, his heart filled with killing intent and... fear!
’This is a disaster!’
’This whelp must not be allowed to live!’
Chu Wunian gritted his teeth. Having witnessed Su Ye’s potential, there was only one thing he could do: strike Su Ye down now, when he was at his weakest right after completing his tribulation!
Otherwise,
the Chu Family... would face certain annihilation!
As for reconciliation?
Impossible!
This was completely different from the old grudge between the Chu Family and Lin Yinxiu.
Lin Yinxiu’s aptitude was limited, and the legacy she obtained only went up to the Golden Core Realm. With her potential, it would be a good outcome if she could even reach the Mid-stage Golden Core before her life ended.
Therefore,
after they reconciled,
even if Lin Yinxiu’s hatred lingered and she wished to destroy the Chu Family,
as long as Chu Wunian could nurture another Golden Core cultivator to protect the clan before his own time was up, he could maintain a balance of power and preserve his family.
Chu Wunian was very confident about this.
He still had over three hundred years of life left; his chances of raising a Golden Core cultivator were not low.
That was why the Chu Family and Lin Yinxiu had been able to resolve their feud.
But Su Ye’s situation was entirely different!
His potential was simply terrifying. Just as Lin Yinxiu had said, a prodigy like him might become a Nascent Soul True Monarch in just over a hundred years!
A Nascent Soul True Monarch!
And a Nascent Soul with a Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect!
Such a being would be an undisputed titan in the entire Yao Guang region!
At that time,
the Chu Family’s very survival would rest on his whim!
What’s more,
’The truth will out.’
’My scheme to frame him and have someone else do the killing will be exposed sooner or later.’
Chu Wunian’s understanding of the situation was crystal clear.
Regarding the matter at Black Flame Fortress,
if Su Ye had died and there was no victim, it wouldn’t have been difficult for the Chu Family to cover it up with their influence.
But the problem was,
not only was Su Ye alive, but he had also become a Golden Core cultivator!
To give him a proper explanation, the Flame Alliance would definitely not be careless. The truth would come to light sooner or later!
Once Su Ye learned the truth, even if he claimed to be willing to reconcile, Chu Wunian wouldn’t dare believe him... The hatred would be absolute!
’So!’
’The only chance is now...’
’Kill him!’
Chu Wunian shot forward, approaching Jade Dew Island.
The Golden Wind Jade Dew Formation activated. In the void, countless pale-golden hexagons formed an airtight membrane of light, shielding Jade Dew Island!
"A mere fourth-rank Array won’t stop me!"
"Cloud Smoke Duster!"
Chu Wunian’s expression was savage as he focused his mind.
He flicked his sleeve, summoning a pure-white duster.
The duster’s threads were snow-white and radiated the aura of a Spiritual Treasure. Faced with the obstruction of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Formation and with every second counting, Chu Wunian directly summoned his bonded Spiritual Treasure!
BANG!
The Spiritual Treasure flew out and struck the Array heavily!
A crack appeared in the pale-golden Array Shield!
At the same time,
Chu Wunian activated his Storage Ring.
A bloody light shot out, enveloping a talisman inscribed with profound runes and a terrifying aura!
The talisman hit the Golden Wind Jade Dew Formation and transformed into a bloody light that spread around the crack, counteracting the Array’s restorative power and holding it at a stalemate.
It opened a channel through the shield!
The charm interfered with the Array’s operation, forming a temporary passage.
A Breaking Charm!
And it was one that could work on a fourth-rank Array.
This was a fourth-rank Breaking Charm!
After using the talisman, a flash of pain appeared in Chu Wunian’s eyes.
There were no fourth-rank Talisman Masters in the Day Flame Sea Region. He had acquired this fourth-rank Breaking Charm a century ago by a stroke of luck while traveling in the Central Sea Region.
But now,
was not the time to worry about the cost!
"Die!"
"Divine Technique: Infinite Sea of Qi!"
As he charged into the Array, Chu Wunian’s body suddenly transformed, becoming a pure white Cloud Body!
Compared to the juvenile version of the Divine Technique that Chu Jiangheng had barely managed to execute with the help of a Golden Core decree, the power of this True Technique, personally activated by Chu Wunian, was far more terrifying!
The Cloud Body he had transformed into was over a hundred zhang tall—a towering giant of cloud and qi descending upon Jade Dew Island!
Chu Wunian didn’t cast any spells.
His Cloud Body simply aimed for Su Ye’s location and swatted down with its palm!
A palm strike falling from the heavens!
BOOM!
The surging blast of qi sent Jade Dew Island’s Xuankong Peak flying several hundred, even a thousand, zhang off course, like a rubber duck in a pond!
"Mr. Su, watch out!"
"Mr. Chu’s Divine Technique overwhelms opponents with sheer force! You’ve just reached the Golden Core Realm, you can’t face it head-on!"
Lin Yinxiu, burning with anxiety, sent the message with her Divine Sense directly into Su Ye’s mind.
"Chu Wunian?"
Gazing at the sky, Su Ye clasped his hands behind his back and raised an eyebrow.
