Chapter 169 Ascension Trap, Terror Coming
The noise from Lai Yang's battle with the demons was so great that it caused turmoil in the entire demon abyss.
The strong men nearby sensed the powerful aura and sent people to check the situation.
However, when they got there, Moro and his men had already fled, and had even set a trap to kill everyone.
On the other side, Xiao Hei was successfully rescued by Lai Yang, and the man and the dog returned to Wenxian Sect.
During this time, Xiao Hei seemed to want to talk but stopped himself several times, not knowing what to say.
Lai Yang noticed Xiao Hei's strangeness and said calmly, "Just say what you want to say. Why are you dithering?"
Hearing this, Xiao Hei showed a hint of determination in his eyes, and couldn't help asking: "You already know my identity, why did you save me?"
"I just said that I am not interested in the grudges between humans and demons, and I don't care about your previous identity. As long as you don't do anything to betray me, I will protect your safety." Lai Yang turned his head to look at Xiao Hei and said in a calm tone with confidence.
Xiao Hei didn't expect that the other party really didn't care about his previous identity as a demon.
You must know that the cultivators and the demons in Zhongzhou are like water and fire, and the hatred between the two sides is difficult to resolve.
Many immortal cultivators had perished at his hands, but even so, the other party was still willing to protect it. Xiao Hei couldn't help but feel touched.
This time when it fell into Moreau's hands, it thought it was dead, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
"Thank you, Master."
The reason why he called Lai Yang his master before was probably because he was definitely stronger than him, and Xiao Hei had to hide his strength in secret and accumulate strength for revenge.
But now it has a little more sincerity.
Of course, if there is a chance in the future, it will still take revenge on Moreau.
Moro joined forces with the strong men of the demon clan to not only destroy its physical body, but also wanted to wipe it out completely. It would never forget this blood feud.
Lai Yang nodded.
Soon the man and the dog returned safely to the Wenxian Sect, and Xiao Hei became the guardian beast of the fairy peak.
In the battle in the abyss of the demon world, many powerful demons died under Lai Yang's sword.
The strong men from various major immortal sects strengthened the vigilance of their territories. They thought that the demons would not be able to hold back and would take action at any time, and would attack the Zhongzhou continent again soon.
But no one expected that there had been no news from the demons since the battle at Demon-Suppressing Mountain, as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth.
In this regard, Lai Yang and others are also happy to have some free time, and work hard to improve their practice every day.
There is no time in cultivation, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, on the top of the Immortal Peak of the Wenxian Sect, Jian Wuji comprehended the way of heaven and earth and integrated it into his own swordsmanship.
In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder roared. The sound was so loud that it shook the entire Zhongzhou continent.
Countless powerful men were startled in an instant, and they all turned to look in the direction of the Wenxian Sect with solemn expressions.
"This is the calamity of ascension... After so many years, there is still someone who wants to attain enlightenment and ascend? Who is this person?"
"The path to ascension has been cut off. This path to enlightenment and ascension is simply not feasible. This person is doomed to fail."
"That direction seems to be the Questioning Immortal Sect. Let's go over there and take a look."
For a moment, countless powerful people gathered in the airspace near the Wenxian Sect.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone in the Wenxian Sect immediately activated the sect protection formation for fear of any accidents.
The sword intent surrounding Jian Wuji was like a tide, rushing straight into the sky, as if to tear the heaven and earth apart.
"Look, that person seems to be Jian Wuji."
"It really is Jian Wuji. He is going to become a sword immortal."
"In today's Wenxian Continent, we can actually witness the birth of a sword immortal with our own eyes. It's simply a miracle."
"Don't be too happy too soon. Don't forget that the path to ascension is blocked. I don't believe he can really ascend to become an immortal!"
…
Gradually, a tightly closed fairy door appeared above the thick clouds, looming.
There is immortal energy flowing above the immortal gate and golden light shining. There is no doubt that this is the door to the immortal world.
Afterwards, a broad road paved with immortal energy extended out from the immortal gate and fell through the rolling thunderclouds.
As long as you step on it and withstand the baptism of the ascension thunder tribulation, you can successfully ascend to the fairyland.
Everyone's faces were filled with envy, with a fiery glow in their eyes.
Ascending to become an immortal, this is a height that many immortal cultivators in the Wenxian Continent would find difficult to reach in their lifetime.
Once you become an immortal, you can embark on the path to immortality, roaming freely between heaven and earth, without any constraints.
Jian Wuji gazed at the immortal gate above the sky. His sword eyes were firm and unyielding, and his gaze was as bright as the sun. His eyes revealed his desire to ascend to become an immortal. Feeling the danger of the ascension calamity, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt a strong desire to fight.
"Today, under the witness of all of you fellow Taoists, I, Jian Wuji, have attained the Tao and ascended to heaven. Now let's see how I will overcome the calamity."
Jian Wuji roared and embarked on the road to ascension.
In an instant, a rich aura of immortal Taoism surrounded Jian Wuji's feet, and then an irresistible suction force pulled him towards the direction of the Immortal Gate.
Boom boom boom!!!
Crackling!!!
Swish, swish, swish! ! ! !
At the same time, the calamity clouds between heaven and earth became more and more turbulent and terrifying, like a dense lightning net covering the space and fiercely striking Jian Wuji.
The power of the thunder tribulation was terrifying, but it could not do anything to Jian Wuji. The majestic sword intent burst out from his body and tore through the thunder tribulation head-on. He fought alone against the heaven and earth and opened up the path to ascension.
Before he knew it, Jian Wuji had already completed two-thirds of the journey to ascension.
Under the influence of the immortal aura and Taoist rhyme on the road to ascension, Jian Wuji's realm and strength became increasingly pure and powerful, and his spiritual power gradually transformed into more mysterious and powerful immortal power.
Everyone looked up at Jian Wuji ascending to the immortal world, their expressions becoming increasingly nervous and solemn, their hearts almost in their throats.
The road to ascension becomes more and more dangerous as time goes on. One mistake may result in being reduced to ashes. Can Jian Wuji really succeed?
Inside the Wenxian Sect, Chu Xiao couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw the terrifying thunder tribulation filled with destructive aura. He subconsciously turned to look at Lai Yang and asked, "Master, do you think Junior Brother Wuji can succeed?"
"Cultivation is to go against the will of heaven, you have to believe in him." Lai Yang said in a deep voice with a deep look in his eyes.
Jian Wuji wants to ascend to the fairyland.
Lai Yang tried to persuade him, but he refused to listen.
Each of these immortal cultivators is a stubborn person. They dream of becoming immortals and never regret it until they die.
Lai Yang respected Jian Wuji's wishes and didn't say anything more, letting him go ahead.
After all, there are some things that only if you try them yourself will you avoid regrets in your life.
At this moment, Jian Wuji was getting closer and closer to the Immortal Gate, and the surrounding thunder was becoming more and more dense and violent, making him feel a little overwhelmed.
However, even so, there was still no panic or fear on Jian Wuji's face, and he held the sword in his hand tightly with a firm look in his eyes.
A thunder dragon transformed from a heavenly thunder struck towards Jian Wuji. Jian Wuji was unable to defend himself and was hit directly. The domineering power of the heavenly thunder madly penetrated into his body, intending to destroy his body and wipe out his soul.
Before this, Jian Wuji had been struck by heavenly thunder countless times by Lai Yang, and had developed a certain immunity to heavenly thunder.
So even though he was hit hard, it didn't cause him much damage.
The majestic sword intent burst out from Jian Wuji's body, and with one sword he suddenly cut through the thunder tribulation and rushed towards the Immortal Gate.
Suddenly, Jian Wuji stopped and his eyes suddenly focused.
Just when he was one step away from becoming an immortal, the path to ascension under his feet was suddenly cut off!
The remaining part of the ascension path was cut off, but Jian Wuji's realm of cultivation had not yet been completely transformed.
Jian Wuji's face darkened and he was suddenly caught in a dilemma.
"Look, the road under Jian Wuji's feet is broken!"
"Let me tell you, the path to ascension has been cut off. It is no longer possible to ascend from the Wenxian Continent. If you want to go to the upper realm, you can only find another way. Ascension is doomed to fail."
“But even if he fails, Jian Wuji will surely become a Loose Immortal with his strength. From now on, Wenxian Sect will have another Loose Immortal.”
Everyone was talking about it, with regretful looks on their faces. It was obvious that they all did not think highly of Jian Wuji.
If one wants to open the gate to immortality, one must transform the state of one's entire body into immortal energy and sublimate the mortal body into an immortal body, then the gate to immortality will open automatically.
Jian Wuji already knew that his path to ascension had been cut off, and he had anticipated the current situation.
Jian Wuji did not give up, but began to cultivate sword intent in front of everyone. An extremely powerful and moving aura slowly permeated out.
Upon seeing this, countless powerful men were slightly stunned, their eyes fixed on where Jian Wuji was.
"What does he want to do? Does he want to force the gate to open?"
"Crazy, absolutely crazy, how dare he do that?"
"If you force the gate open, and fail, you will definitely offend the heavens, and die without a burial place. You are really a guy who is not afraid of death."
"He is courting death. If Jian Wuji dies, the strength of the Wenxian Sect will be greatly damaged, which will be a great benefit to us."
More and more immortal cultivators were attracted here, each with their own thoughts, staring at Jian Wuji who was transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven.
Some people hope that he can succeed, open up a new path for future generations, and light up the hope of ascension.
Some people also hope that he died during his ascension. In recent years, the strength of the Wenxian Sect has been growing stronger and stronger. It is not a good thing for other immortal sects if the Wenxian Sect is too popular.
Jian Wuji raised the long sword in his hand, his aura condensed to the extreme, the whole person was like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and sharp, the sword intent broke through the shackles, making it difficult to look directly at him.
"Holding a three-foot-long green sword, I dare to fight the heaven and earth and pick up the sun and the moon! Since the way to ascend is blocked, I will find another way. Today, I will open the gate to immortality with my sword, and I will have no regrets even if I die."
"Give it to me, open it!"
Jian Wuji swung out the strongest sword of his life.
This sword was infused with all of Jian Wuji’s cultivation and hard work.
This sword shocked the world and made ghosts and gods weep.
The sky of the Wenxian Continent was directly cut in half by this sword. As the crisp sound of mirrors shattering rang out, several shocking cracks appeared in the space.
Everyone was shocked, their eyes widened suddenly, and they were dumbfounded.
What a terrifying power! This sword is probably enough to easily kill a strong man in the Scattered Immortal Realm. It already possesses power that is higher than that of an immortal. Even the plane of the Questioning Immortal Continent can hardly withstand the power of this sword.
The sword light undoubtedly fell on the Immortal Gate, and the collision between the two caused a thunderous noise. The powerful energy spread in all directions with the Immortal Gate as the center.
Seeing this scene, countless people even secretly expected Jian Wuji to successfully break through the immortal gate and create another legend of ascension.
The next moment, everyone's expressions, including Jian Wuji's, changed.
The immortal gate in the sky was hit head-on by Jian Wuji's terrifying sword without any damage at all. Not even a tiny sword mark was left on the immortal gate.
"Failed...failed?"
"How is this possible? Even an attack like this can't shake the Immortal Gate? Who else can open the Immortal Gate?"
"Could it be that we will never be able to ascend to the immortal world again?"
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel an extremely strong sense of powerlessness in their hearts, and their expressions were gloomy and depressed.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky, and the majesty of heaven seemed to be provoked and enraged.
A thunder tribulation that was several times more powerful than the previous one gathered and descended, striking Jian Wuji fiercely.
Jian Wuji was seriously injured and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood that dyed the ascension road red, and his body was shaky.
"Oh no! Elder Wuji is in danger!" Everyone in Wenxian Sect's face changed drastically and they cried out in shock.
"Master, we, Master?" Chu Xiao showed a trace of anxiety in his eyes. He turned to look at Lai Yang, but saw that Lai Yang's figure had disappeared from the spot at some point.
“Shit, who is that guy? How dare he barge into someone else’s ascension thunder tribulation? Does he want to die?!”
As a cry of surprise was heard, everyone looked into the distance and saw a figure appear near Jian Wuji, and they were immediately shocked.
"Master... Master?" Jian Wuji looked up at Lai Yang who suddenly appeared. His face was pale and he said weakly, "I'm sorry, Master. I failed. I'm sorry, Master, for not listening to you. It's dangerous here. Master, please leave and don't worry about me. This is all my own fault."
Lai Yang sighed softly: "It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid, I'll take you back."
Lai Yang stretched out his hand to grab Jian Wuji who was on the road to ascension, but then he was repelled and blocked by the road, and countless terrible thunders struck him.
The power of those thunders was enough to turn a powerful immortal into ashes in an instant, but when they hit Lai Yang, it was like tickling him. He didn't even frown.
Lai Yang took action to forcibly shatter the ascension road and pulled Jian Wuji out of the ascension road.
Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded——
“Oh my god, what did I see? Someone could actually withstand the thunder tribulation of ascension and even destroy the path to ascension?!”
"Fuck, outrageous fucking opening the door for outrageous, outrageous to the extreme."
"What kind of monster is this guy? He can actually ignore the bombardment of the Ascension Thunder Tribulation and easily protect Jian Wuji."
Jian Wuji was pulled out of the ascension path by Lai Yang, but the immortal gate in the sky not only did not disappear, but it slowly opened.
Then countless terrifying eyes emerged from the Immortal Gate, and the rapidly rotating eyes seemed to be spying on the Wenxian Continent.
In an instant, everyone in the Wenxian Continent couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling, with horror and anxiety in their eyes.
"What...what is that? There seems to be something inside the Immortal Gate!"
Seeing this, Lai Yang's eyes fixed, and he subconsciously pushed Jian Wuji towards Wenxian Sect.
The next moment, countless strange tentacles emerged from the Immortal Gate and invaded the Wenxian Continent, attacking the surrounding immortal cultivators.
