Chapter 694: Chapter 243 This is My Era
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Numerous days have passed in the mortal world. Lately, there were some changes in Zhou nation. However, they were not related to the mortals.
The essence of treasures in the world and inextinguishable divine aura shot through the air. The cultivators were preparing for an impending war. A hundred thousand Qing Xuan cultivators experienced rapid improvements after they arrived at the Netherworld.
After all, there was abundant Qi of vitality in the Netherworld.
On that day, it snowed. A hundred thousand cultivators gathered themselves amidst the feather-like snow. This included the group of Fahai deities. Even the spiritual vigor that was dispersed unknowingly could amalgamate into a terrifying spirit river.
The snowflakes floated in the air but none landed on the places which were occupied by the cultivators.
Shen Lian appeared. When he came, the snow and wind stopped. The floating snowflakes froze in the air and displayed its crystalline beauty. Each edge was equally mesmerizing.
Shen Lian was clad in a simple, pale-blue Daoist robe. It was alike to the pure azure sky and blue ocean. The red cinnabar dot between his eyebrows caused him to appear more elegant and noble. It was as if a Buddha or Daoist had arrived in the mortal world.
None of the cultivators made ill-mannered gestures. Everyone was composed and paid full attention to Shen Lian.
Shen Lian’s gaze was directed at the one hundred thousand cultivators. Every cultivator stood high-spiritedly as if Shen Lian’s gaze was on each of them.
It was silent and no one spoke.
After a moment, Shen Lian started to speak. His penetrable voice which seemed like it could reach the opposite islands was heard by everyone wholeheartedly. Without any impassioned emotions, he made a statement calmly, “This is my era.”.
Amongst the cultivators, Su Xiuqing felt extremely energized despite being a lady. Zhenren Shen had conveyed the most domineering notion with the calmest tone. It was not ‘our’ era but ‘my’ era.
Such a conclusion was supposedly derived through historical anecdotes but Shen Lian had proclaimed himself. No one could object his proclamation for this was truly Zhenren Shen’s era.
If there was a protagonist in the heaven and earth, it was indisputably Zhenren Shen.
They were witnessing a legend!
When Shen Lian made this statement, the notion of conquering the world radiated throughout the sky and earth. It was more invigorating than any marvelous war drummers.
A Flying Celestial Formation Chart appeared gradually and expanded. In a blink of an eye, everyone was in an expansive void of space. They found their places with familiarity.
“Move out.”
The Flying Celestial Formation Chart carried a hundred thousand cultivators and headed for Yinshang. It seemed as unstoppable as the heaven’s prestige.
The sky of Yinshang darkened and everyone in Yinshang felt a heavy suppression that could not be uplifted.
There was a fissure in the void outside Zhaoge city. It expanded in size and a spiritual cloud appeared. A massive Qi dynamic was suppressing the Zhaoge city.
A celestial chart appeared amongst the spiritual cloud. It swirled slowly as if it was about to guide the whole of Netherland to whirl with it.
Lighting stoke and a storm were aroused.
In Zhaoge city, a floating imperial palace rose. Within the palace, Tianyi crossed his hands behind his back as he looked towards the celestial chart. Inside the chart, deities arranged themselves in rows and countless cultivators were present. They manipulated the Qi of vitality and amassed terrifying Daoist techniques in preparation for the battle against Yinshang.
Gradually, Shen Lian appeared outside the floating imperial palace. With empty sleeves, he looked towards Tianyi.
He did not utter a word given that any form of comments was of no use.
However, Tianyi had something to say. He mentioned, “In actuality, I am from a place beyond the heavens.”
Shen Lian glanced at him and said, “I know.”
Tianyi said, “I will not let you have the Netherworld.”
Shen Lian replied, “I do understand this.”
Tianyi smiled and said, “Let us battle then.”
Though his laughter was filled with bitterness, there were no signs of despair.
Tianyi’s imperial robe moved silently and millions of divine lights appeared. Mighty Qi of vitality stormed towards Shen Lian. It seemed that Qian Kun could be established with a single punch.
Shen Lian cast a glance coldly and a painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale appeared in the air. It had mountains, geographical landscapes, the sun, moon, stars and even the secular mortal world. It encompassed everything.
It engulfed Tianyi’s fist immediately and proceeded to envelop his whole body. As Tianyi was situated in that particular part of the world, he had lost all contacts with Yinshang. Mountains and rivers started to charge towards him restlessly.
These visions were not illusions. They were genuine mountains and rivers.
Sometimes, a person’s energy would be worn-out. How could Tianyi sustain a whole world just by himself?
Moreover, infinite divine lights started to surge Shen Lian’s body. The lights integrated into the painting of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale so as to increase its mighty force.
“Shen Qingxuan, accept your death,” an appalling voice roared. The sky eye on Wen Zhong’s forehead opened and infinite thunder was released. It appeared as if it could shatter time and space and annihilate the heavens.
He rode on the black Qilin and had a mighty celestial prestige. About ten ancient cultivators with profound mana followed him. Each had majestic Qi dynamic and was nearing celestialism.
Such a terrifying force it was. United, they would be able to devastate any Daoist sects on the Qing Xuan Earth and Star instantaneously.
Shen Lian remained silent. With only a punch, overwhelming mana ruptured the blue sky. It was as if the scene of devastation had appeared. This punch did not merely shatter time and space, it had also disrupted the laws.
One hundred thousand cultivators in the Flying Celestial Formation Chart along with the deities were stunned.
Zhenren Shen was truly petrifying. His abilities had far exceeded their expectations.
At that very moment, Shen Lian was alike to the time when Buddha attained Dao. Despite being attacked by demons from all directions, one could cover the past and present with a palm. One could travel through the heaven and earth in all directions. No place was untravelled and no foe was found.
Wen Zhong was startled by the hardness of that terrifying punch. An appalling turbulence was created in the void. The black Qilin wailed uncontrollably as blood started to flow out from his body like the water of a fountain.
Several ancient cultivators who followed Wen Zhong were unable to sustain the colossal and terrifying attack. Ultimately, their celestial bodies exploded.
Shen Lian still remained silent. Suddenly, the Flying Celestial Formation jerked. The mighty Qi dynamic targeted against Wen Zhong and his men. This prevented them from approaching Shen Lian.
Shen Lian replaced his focus on Tianyi. The floating imperial palace charged towards Shen Lian amidst the unstabilized void’s turbulence. There were about twenty cultivators in the palace who were nearing the state of heavenly immortals. Even Shen Lian’s old friends, Chang Shengzi and Wuding were amongst them.
In Wuding’s heart, memories shared between him and Shen Lian appeared. The most vivid moment he could recall was the time when the both of them sat together for a drink.
It passed like a dream and sorrow was all that was left.
He did not know how things had developed into such a state. Perhaps, this was fate.
Starlights started to burn in flames while a long knife slit through the sky and appeared. Wuding was determined to fight. Emboldened by the Flying Stars Incantation, he became a burning star. It brightened up the heaven and earth and charged towards Shen Lian murderously.
Shen Lian laid out his fingertips softly to resist the starlights. Gradually, the lights vanished.
The long knife was shattered into pieces. Surprisingly, Wuding’s knife which was charged with full vitality did not manage to defeat Shen Lian’s finger.
He heard Shen Lian’s voice that said, “Your knife technique has not been fully practiced. You can seek for me after five thousand years, ” Subsequently, he disappeared without anyone’s notice, flew out of the blue sky and entered into the unseen.
Others were not as fortunate as Wuding. Shen Lian’s fingers pointed out continuously like a deadly judge who was killing living creatures by penning down their names on the Register of Life and Death. Not even one could escape his life-threatening finger.
Shen Lian clearly displayed the quality of ‘Wusheng 1’ as he used Zhao Xiaoyu’s Wusheng Finger. Even if the founder of Luo Order reappeared, he might not be able to survive such an attack.
