My name is Chen Huai’an, and I have cancer. I’m dying. Lately, I’ve become obsessed with a virtual girlfriend game. I top up my account to buy her cultivation techniques and magical artifacts. Even...
Chapter 859 Slaying Immortals: The Madman's Journey...
On the shores of Beihai, towering waves surge.
The seawater, stretching for thousands of miles, was boiled by some terrifying force, turning into billowing white steam that obscured the sun, moon, and stars.
"boom--!!!"
With a deafening roar, two figures plummeted from the clouds, crashing into the deep sea and creating towering waves.
Those were two star deities, each a hundred feet tall.
A dragon with a human body, covered in thick scales, each scale engraved with ancient star runes. It is the first of the twenty constellations – Kang Jinlong.
Another being has a pig's head and a human body, wielding a rake, and surrounded by flames. Wherever it passes, the seawater evaporates instantly. This is the Fire Pig, one of the deities.
And opposite these two rok gods.
A colossal beast, even larger and more ferocious, stood riding the waves.
It has the body of a sheep and the face of a human, with eyes under its armpits, tiger teeth, and human claws.
Its body seemed to be pieced together from the body parts of countless ancient ferocious beasts, and its pair of fleshy wings spread out, blotting out the sky and the sun.
Every inch of their skin radiated a terrifying greed and savagery.
This terrifying beast is none other than Hachiman, whose power has been fully unleashed.
"Old mudfish! Roast suckling pig!"
The monstrous muscle opened its blood-red basin, large enough to devour Yue, within which black mist swirled, resembling the primordial chaos.
"Is this a celestial deity? And he's so weak?"
"You can't even tickle me!"
With a single swipe of its claw, the terrifying force capable of tearing through the void sent the Fire Boar flying backward, even bending the flaming rake within its claw.
"Damn beast!"
The Fire Boar steadied itself, wiped the golden blood from the corner of its mouth, its eyes filled with shock and anger, "How can this Gluttonous Beast be so strong?!"
"It was sealed away ten thousand years ago, and after more than a hundred reincarnations, it should have lost all its true spirit. Why is its strength increasing instead of decreasing now?!"
Kang Jinlong was also in a sorry state, his scales flying off.
The Star Dragon Ball in his eyes was dim, clearly indicating that he had suffered a loss in the recent battle.
"Stop talking nonsense! Form ranks!"
Kang Jinlong roared, and the void behind him cracked open.
Boom! A gigantic phantom image of a blue dragon constellation slowly appeared.
The azure dragon drew upon the power of the nine heavens and stars, transforming it into a torrent of dazzling starlight that crashed down upon the Taotie.
"Star Constellation Formation? Bah!"
Baji spat out a mouthful of saliva in disdain.
It neither dodged nor avoided; its countless pupils under its armpits suddenly widened, and a flash of scarlet killing intent appeared within them.
"Devouring the Heavens!"
Roar—!!!
As the monstrous muscles opened and roared, a pitch-black, bottomless black hole formed in front of it.
That torrent of starlight, powerful enough to suppress an entire realm, was swallowed up by that mouth without even a splash.
"Hiccup~"
Baji let out a burp, his face full of disgust: "Star Power? It's not even as chewy as that garlic-flavored king I ate last time."
"you!!"
Kang Jinlong was so angry that his dragon whiskers trembled wildly, and he almost went berserk on the spot.
"Fire it! Burn it with real fire!"
Upon receiving the order, the Fire Boar manifested a gigantic flaming boar image behind him, spewing forth a deadly fire that turned half of the North Sea crimson.
But Baji seemed to be taking a bath, stretching his body in the true fire that was enough to melt gold and iron, and even rubbing the dirt on his back with his claws.
"That feels good! Turn the fire up a bit more! Haven't you eaten?!"
humiliation.
A blatant humiliation.
The two constellation gods grew increasingly frightened and frustrated as they fought.
This is hardly a battle.
They were clearly being treated like toys by this ancient ferocious beast!
The two were caught in a dilemma.
Rumble—
Suddenly, a chilling clap of thunder echoed across the eastern horizon.
Immediately afterwards, a vast array of celestial and terrestrial rules surged forth.
The sheer power of that pressure was so strong that even from hundreds of thousands of miles away, it made Kang Jinlong and the Shihuozhu tremble in their very souls.
"This is... an apocalyptic lightning tribulation?!"
Kang Jinlong's expression changed drastically. He looked up at the east and exclaimed, "Is someone undergoing tribulation? And it's... a heavenly tribulation powerful enough to annihilate a true immortal!"
"Not good! That lightning tribulation aura is too terrifying. If we are caught in its force, our lives may be in danger!"
The fire pig also looked terrified, and it could barely hold onto the rake in its hand.
"Taotie!"
Kang Jinlong acted decisively, retracting his Dharma form and shouting to Ba Ji, "Let's call a truce for today! We'll resume after the tribulation..."
"truce?"
Baji's pupils suddenly contracted.
It also sensed that familiar aura during the heavenly tribulation.
That's... the scent of a 덿 person?
Hey, he's...he's transcended tribulation?!
"How many parts are there? Did that guy ascend to heaven?!"
Baji was filled with doubt and unease.
Although it didn't know how Chen Huai'an's cultivation level had improved so quickly, it certainly wouldn't let those two guys bother the humans.
"Stop your war!"
With a roar, Ba Muscle's body swelled up.
Whoosh—! With a flap of fleshy wings behind him, riding the gale, he swirled into a black lightning bolt and pounced on the two immortals who were trying to retreat.
"Trying to run? Did you even ask your grandfather's stomach?!"
"Crazy! This beast is crazy!"
Kang Jinlong and Shi Huozhu cursed each other, but were forced to fight back.
The two immortals and one beast fought and retreated, battling fiercely over the North Sea until the sky darkened, but they gradually moved away from the center of the lightning tribulation.
However.
While they were engaged in fierce fighting.
Hiss—
A soft, tearing sound, like tearing silk, abruptly drowned out the thunder.
Immediately afterwards.
The world fell silent.
The two people and the beast stopped instinctively and looked eastward together.
All that could be seen was the vast sky above.
A pitch-black, bottomless rift—as if cleaved by an invisible giant axe—stretched across the sky.
It forcibly split that lofty "sky" in two!
"The sky...the sky has opened?!"
The rake in the fire pig's mouth clattered into the sea, and its mouth opened wide enough to stuff a watermelon inside.
"This...how can this be?!" Kang Jinlong trembled all over, his scales rustling. "A human...has cleaved the barrier between the two worlds?!"
Baji stared blankly at the crack.
For the first time, genuine fear appeared in its eyes, mixed with a hint of unbelievable ecstasy.
"That's... the aura of the Heaven-Opening Axe?!"
"Dai-ren...Dai-ren really...did it?!"
The next second, Ba Muscle roared and transformed into black light, rushing towards the crack.
"Taotie! Where do you think you're going!"
Kang Jinlong and Shi Huozhu exchanged a glance, then steeled themselves and followed.
…
At the South Heavenly Gate, a sea of blood surged to the heavens.
The war drums thundered like lightning from the heavens.
Sixteen Thunder Gods, clad in heavy purple-gold armor and riding thunder beasts, formed the "Sixteen Heavenly Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation," completely surrounding Chen Huai'an.
"kill!"
At a command.
Sixteen lightning spears were thrust out, intertwining with lightning to form an impenetrable net of lightning, determined to shred this world-destroying swordsman into dust.
Chen Huai'an stood atop a sea of corpses and blood.
In those eyes, half demon and half immortal, there was no fear of death, only a kind of... madness as if watching an absurd joke.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Laughter erupted.
What began as a gentle ripple quickly turned into a raging storm.
"It's too late to persuade the emperor; I must spur my horse and embark on a long journey."
With a flick of his wrist, Chen Huai'an sent the divine sword formed from tribulation lightning piercing straight into the sky with his laughter.
"The foolish woman Hui bought Chen lightly, so I also left home and went west to Qin."
The sword is born from poetry, and its power grows ever stronger.
"Look up to the sky and smile..."
boom!
A mighty sword intent soared into the sky.
That wasn't sword energy, but rather the essence of the Dao of Freedom.
It is a wild spirit that has been suppressed for thousands of years, disrespecting heaven and earth and worshipping ghosts and gods.
This surge of energy, like a river bursting its banks, rushed down and instantly shattered the solemn order of thunder.
Sixteen Lei Jiang felt a blur before his eyes.
The once impregnable lightning net was shattered by this "madness," falling apart like a fence teetering on the brink of collapse in a flood.
Chen Huai'an made a move.
Instead of using his movement techniques to dodge, he stumbled and staggered through the collapsing lightning like a drunken madman, yet took a step forward with unparalleled freedom.
"...Go outside."
