Chapter 1491: Living a Thousand Years, Can't Withstand an Autumn

Wang Changji's step, wondrous beyond words.He had originally, after placing the jade disc, stood quietly to the side, aloof as if unconnected to this world.It was this air of being unrelated to anyone or anything that prevented even Zhu Weimei, though he remembered Zhang Linchuan's face, from confirming his identity.He had always been separated from all in the world by a veil.But with this single step taken,He shifted from "unrelated" to "related."From observer of the game to player within.His stride was not swift, but perfectly measured.His arrival was timely, yet utterly natural.Now he stood before Jiang Wang, his calm, aloof eyes meeting the swollen eyes of Gefei.His gaze, challenging Gefei's gaze.An invisible collision occurred at the soul level.What transpired within, outsiders could not know.Perhaps but a breath, perhaps already a thousand years.But Jiang Wang's hand holding the jade disc suddenly loosened, the gaze entwined about his fingers snapped, and the jade disc accelerated forward, about to embed itself in the groove—The world inverted!The path of the Central Mountain behind Dou Zhao, astonishingly, descended downwards, its end lost beyond the turn.They gathered at the foot of the mountain, yet seemed to stand at the peak. They awaited ascension, yet only the path downwards existed.Jiang Wang clearly held the final nine-chapter jade disc, reaching to place it into the groove behind the stone tablet, but the further his hand extended, the further the jade disc moved from the groove.Zuo Guangshu, robes billowing, was rushing hither, but nearly flew beyond the divine light barrier!The environment constructed by Yuetian Nu with the power of the Pure Land instantly shattered. Compassionate thoughts were extinguished, the stillness of the long night eternally present.Zhu Weimei's Everlasting Spear still lay horizontally before Jiang Wang, but its tip seemed to be pressing against Jiang Wang.And Gefei, still standing there, his arm still raised, merely watched all this calmly.At this moment, he exuded an air of contempt for all living beings, his swollen and bruised eyes devoid of any emotion.Fang Heliang looked towards him, but could not see him. His vengeful divine ability found no resonance whatsoever.He was clearly present here, yet seemed to vanish from sight.However, Wang Changji's eyes still clearly captured his eyes, and he walked towards him with composure."Jiang Wang is a resolute person, so you know that appealing to pity is useless. Jiang Wang is a person of conviction, so you want to bind him with so-called principles, so-called morality... Your world contains more than one truth, but the ethical world you constructed is too targeted. Did you eavesdrop on our conversation?"Though speaking in questions and using an interrogative tone, Wang Changji's demeanor was clearly one of certainty. He merely asked, "Are you Candle Dragon, or Chaos?"The so-called ethical world is a kind of environmental shaping at the level of will, and furthermore, an unfolding based on the level of rules.It is an offensive against the will, akin to Dou Zhao's cutting of nature to see the self.The ethical world shaped by Gefei seemed to be entirely directed at Jiang Wang, though it was evident that his understanding of Jiang Wang was flawed...But undoubtedly, this Gefei had at least witnessed the conversation between Jiang Wang and Fang Heliang at that time to have such an understanding.Yet that conversation took place within the soul battlefield he constructed.The so-called soul battlefield is his unique technique for soul warfare. It can pull the souls of both enemy and ally into the same battlefield, thus avoiding being heavily suppressed within the opponent's Heavenly Palace.As a long-standing trump card, every movement within the soul battlefield is under his control. To observe specifics without his knowledge, to put it un謙虚ly, is not something ordinary beings can achieve.Throughout the entire Mountain Sea Realm, aside from Candle Dragon who dictates the world's order and Chaos who possesses the ability to resist the world's order, he could not imagine who else could achieve this."Why don't you take a guess?" Gefei said with a smile.The two walked towards each other in this manner.The collision between the black tide and the divine light barrier seemed to intensify.Boom! Boom! Boom!Like a great drum, like a battering ram.And those on the Central Mountain felt the pressure increasingly clearly, even the air was incredibly heavy.Jiang Wang grasped the final nine-chapter jade disc, and flames ignited on his hand!They burned even in the lightless long night, and were scorching even in the moments devoid of applause.It was fire, it was divine ability.The essence of this, only one knew!Flowing fire danced around his hand, at times like a spiritual sparrow, at times like a fire serpent.Bringing life, and also bringing an indomitable spirit.Burning through the chaotic, inverted rules, little by little.Having understood the essence of the Mountain Sea Realm, grasped Huang Weizhen's scheme, personally slain the simulated Qilin, felt the imprinting transmission of the Mountain God Wall...Towards this world where fantasy gradually became reality, Jiang Wang also had his own considerably rich understanding and perception.Even including those he had previously been unable to see... the rules.Were he in the mundane world, how could he possibly perceive the traces of these Dao?Precisely because the Mountain Sea Realm is a world situated between fantasy and reality, a newborn world, and also in the midst of shattering.Therefore, he even came to comprehend the root of the chaos and inversion through the burning of the Samadhi True Fire.Only his Qianyang Red Eyes could perceive the manifestation of rules.Having grasped their essence, thus he burned them!His hand continued forward, finally breaking the inversion, revealing the true form. Forward was forward, closeness was closeness, the jade disc and the groove on the stone tablet were already within reach.'Gefei's' eyes suddenly became profound, those swollen, lifeless eyes now appearing like an abyss!Engulfing everything, causing everything to sink.Endless descent, eternal perdition!And Wang Changji's forward strides halted.A lonely sigh, shallow, awakened the dreamer. A point of cold starlight abruptly appeared, flashing between the eyes. Breaking the invisible entanglement, piercing through all the locked gazes.Zhu Weimei, man and spear, appeared before 'Gefei,' the spear tip aimed directly at his brow!The spear had not yet reached, but the killing intent had already arrived.'Gefei' gently tilted his head.He only tilted three inches, yet between him and Zhu Weimei, there seemed to be a chasm.The more violent Zhu Weimei's killing intent, the more distant his Everlasting Spear seemed.Rumble rumble rumble!The giant-like Kuishan crashed forward, his fists like beating war drums, as if moving above the nine heavens, breaking all tangible and intangible barriers, acting on behalf of heaven to punish, smashing towards Gefei's face.His entire body's vital energy boiled, like flames, scorching the air until it crackled.And 'Gefei' merely extended a hand, a gaunt and seemingly powerless hand.His five fingers splayed wide, and a deep black vortex appeared in his palm, reaching directly forward, thus meeting Kuishan's fist head-on.The mountain-collapsing punch struck the black vortex, as if sinking into an endless pile of cotton. Of course, it continued to advance, but it could not harm a single hair. Kuishan's fist kept moving forward, but his body could not advance an inch!'Gefei' lightly swatted, pushing both Kuishan and his fist away—palm and fist, even still clashing. Kuishan also did not give up.Everything appeared so effortless, so unhurried.And he looked towards Jiang Wang!His gaze began to settle upon Jiang Wang.This was the gaze that suppressed Wang Changji's gaze!He looked at Jiang Wang, and then saw a flash of a blade.It was a flash of a blade that even he felt stung by!This blade was named Wither Body and Soul.Killing both body and soul, most unforgiving.His gaze was severed.And Dou Zhao's resplendent, arrogant figure stood brazenly before Jiang Wang. One arm held Tian Xiao diagonally, looking at 'Gefei' with eyes... like looking at pigs and dogs.One must say, a figure like Dou Zhao, as an opponent, is immensely压迫tive, but as a comrade, it makes it hard not to become inflated.Wang Changji's gaze, Zhu Weimei's spear, Kuishan's fist, Dou Zhao's blade... all happened in a single instant.After a brief clash...Jiang Wang had already placed the final jade disc onto the groove of the ancient stone tablet.This sound was so crisp, so clear, incredibly pleasant to the ear.It gave a sense of relief.Perhaps it was not merely a feeling.That immense pressure that had constantly weighed upon their hearts thus vanished into thin air.The nine-chapter jade discs gathered, summoning an indescribable power.The grooves on the back were all filled, the nine jade discs flowed with light, this stone tablet standing at the foot of the mountain began to emit an ancient aura.The divine light barrier shrouding the Central Mountain suddenly glowed brightly, thick and heavy, actually appearing as if cast from gold! Golden and truly imperishable, like an overturned golden bell, it enveloped the Central Mountain, appearing indestructible and immovable for eons.The boundless black tide surged forth, but only like waves crashing against a reef, not causing even a slight tremor.The black snow from the firmament crashed down like an avalanche, but only made a heavy dull thud, then slid into the black tide.The colossal waves rising from the sea, constantly impacting the base of the Central Mountain from below, causing the Central Mountain to subtly shake... now suddenly shattered, like pouring rain falling back into the sea.'Gefei's' bruised and stiff white face had lost all trace of a smile.He looked at these people before the Central Mountain and slowly said, "You, all of you, will die."Each word he uttered was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone. Bringing a tremor to both flesh and soul.The old pressure had just receded, and new pressure had already emerged.Undoubtedly, at this moment, 'Gefei' possessed the power of the Divine Arrival level, and not just a simple Divine Arrival, but a powerhouse among Divine Arrivals.He certainly had the ability to kill.Not just to reduce someone's thirty percent of soul origin in the Mountain Sea Realm.But true annihilation, cutting off all possibility of returning to the mundane world.Dou Zhao's previous inability to leave the realm was proof.Such a 'Gefei' issued a death sentence.His aura surged higher and higher, almost infinitely ascending, reaching towards the heavens and impacting the earth.A violent current of air billowed incessantly. Merely by standing there, he conjured a hurricane!He unhesitatingly displayed his anger, his power, his terror.Between life and death, who can be fearless? Under the suppression of absolute power, who can not feel cowardice?He wanted to break the spines of these people, crush their will, kill those who were most disobedient, and then enslave the rest.He was truly enraged.But at this moment, who was the group of people he faced?He thought he knew, but he did not know.He heard a wild laugh.It was the audacious, arrogant, and disdainful laughter."Can you even possibly know what kind of thing you are?!"That one-armed swordsman, facing his death threat, did not retreat, but instead advanced with defiance.His steps grew faster, his voice grew more contemptuous."Existing at the bottom of a narrow well, mistakenly believing the vastness of the world is merely thus. Residing in the body of a cultivator who has lost the ability to resist, you think you can control everything. Relying on a mere advantage in cultivation, you think you possess the demeanor of a strong person? Lingering for a thousand years is not worth a single autumn!"Dou Zhao leaped, his body ignited with golden light, his blade aimed at the crown of the skull!'Gefei' was greatly angered, so angry that his eyeballs nearly burst out, his hands gripping, releasing waves of cold air.However, a long spear was faster than that arrogant blade light.Zhu Weimei didn't even bother with useless words. He leaped into the air, tracing a brilliant arc like a shooting star. Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be only this trajectory, only this single cold point.This point of cold light was his disdain, his expression.Kuishan followed closely behind!The exceedingly robust him, lazily passed through the path opened by Zhu Weimei.But for every foot he advanced, the vital energy around his body grew denser.By the end of the charge, the vital energy was like a suit of blood armor, draped over his frighteningly muscular physique.The forerunner envisioned the limit of vital energy—breaking spells, destroying techniques, eliminating divine abilities!Though he did not possess such power, he glimpsed a few outlines.After the shooting star approached, it became a meteorite.Zhu Weimei was a cold star, and he was also a cold star.Rumbling, breaking through the air.This punch was a meteorite falling from above the nine heavens!Yuetian Nu's ten fingers bloomed like lotuses, the bronze luster on her body flowed, and she too leaped up. The simplified Pure Land could not contend against a true "Domain" at the Divine Arrival level.All the power of her Pure Land condensed within herself, gathered in her limbs, her hands.Allowing her to grasp her own freedom in the world where "I am like a Divine Arrival" in the other realm.Within the range of spiritual consciousness, I am like a Divine Arrival.This refers to the "Domain" of Divine Arrival.It is the true Pure Land that Yuetian Nu will achieve in the future.It is also the chaotic environment belonging solely to 'Gefei,' currently covering the foot of the mountain.Why did he have the confidence to say that everyone would die? Because within the range of his spiritual consciousness, he could truly be considered a god!Why did those strange beasts gain the power of the Divine Arrival level after being granted divine names? Because the Mountain Sea Realm bestowed upon them god-like abilities, allowing them to mobilize the rules of the Mountain Sea Realm to form their own "Domain."Yuetian Nu also did not speak, but the look in her eyes as she gazed at 'Gefei' was even more angry, more disdainful—What are you?'Gefei's' threat was a great humiliation to her!She broke through the air, positioned above, her ten fingers blooming like lotuses, directly unleashing the secret killing art of Xiyue Temple, the Glass Moon Lotus Palm.Furthermore, Wang Changji, once again discerning the chaos, found 'Gefei's' eyes, and calmly met his gaze.Two gazes clashed like iron chains! Cutting!There was no form in the air, but there were high-pitched "sizzling"刺響 noises.And Jiang Wang, who had pressed the nine-chapter jade disc, had already come with his sword, his green robe fluttering, facing 'Gefei' head-on.He said no words, gave no anger.He merely looked at 'Gefei' calmly, his body and mind fused with the sword stance.What words are more explicit than drawing a sword?What action is more powerful than cutting off a head?The sword howled!Drifting,霜 wind and flowing fire.Vaguely, the world's sword immortal!A single sword striking, like a celestial pillar collapsing.Facing 'Gefei's' death threat, facing such an absolute powerhouse who could not be considered weak even at the Divine Arrival level.These cultivators of the Outer Building level...Surprisingly, each and every one charged back!
