Chapter 292: Deliberating Countermeasures
“Charge!”
“Kill!”
Openly and covertly, several thousand sea demons surged out to attack.
Among them, dozens were at the middle Celestial Immortal Realm, and their clan leader was at the late Celestial Immortal Realm.
On the battlefield.
Chen Ansheng was struck by eighteen fierce attacks. His immortal bones were broken, and his internal organs shattered.
“Life Force!”
With a single thought, Ling’er unleashed her life force to treat Chen Ansheng’s injuries.
Strands of purple energy instantly flowed through his entire body.
An indescribable sense of relief replaced the brief pain.
In less than a breath’s time, Chen Ansheng, who was critically injured and on the verge of death, was restored to full health!
“Kill!”
At that moment, the group of sea demons, who thought they were clever, reached near Chen Ansheng.
“Space Quagmire!”
Chen Ansheng diluted the space within a hundred kilometers. All airborne sea demons lost their spatial support and were unable to move.
“Not good, that human is still conscious, and he’s retaliating desperately!”
“Hmph, the last stand of a dying man, everyone stay calm! Follow our clan leader and throw our Immortal weapons to kill that fellow!”
“Yes!”
Buzz… Buzz… Buzz…
Rays of dazzling Immortal essences scattered, with thousands of various Immortal weapons controlled by Immortal energy heading towards Chen Ansheng.
“Seeking death!”
Chen Ansheng summoned the ultimate shield, and the moment the protective barrier was breached, he used instantaneous movement to flash into the midst of the sea demons.
“Ahh, this!”
Sensing the terrifying killing intent, all the sea demons were extremely panicked.
However, with no foothold, they couldn’t escape and could only forcibly summon their Immortal energy as a defense.
Swish… Swish… Swish!
As the sword swept, cold light emerged, and Immortal blood poured down like a storm!
As the sword fell, huge sea demons were cut in half, dying without any resistance.
“Finished! Miscalculation!”
The face of the sea demon clan leader turned ashen. He never imagined that this human Cultivator would be this powerful, able to recover instantly even when critically injured and on the verge of death.
This ability was too frightening!
After all, in his understanding, only the legendary Immortal Emperor might possess the ability of rebirth from a drop of blood.
“Misunderstanding, sir, misunderstanding…”
Pfft!
This time, the sea demon clan leader genuinely wanted to beg for mercy.
Would Chen Ansheng give him the opportunity?
Innocent!
One strike, two strikes…
Chen Ansheng used his sword like a knife, grabbing the neck of the sea demon and stabbing it hundreds of times.
The sea demon’s heart was pierced into a pulp.
“Bang!”
Unable to resist, the sea demon clan leader chose to self-detonate.
He wanted to use this method to blast Chen Ansheng away, allowing his Immortal Soul to escape.
“Chaos True Qi!”
Chen Ansheng immediately activated Chaos defense. His body was pushed back more than a hundred zhang but quickly stabilized.
“Young whelp, my clan leader will definitely come back for revenge!”
In an instant, the Immortal Soul of the sea demon clan leader had escaped dozens of kilometers.
“Sorry, you don’t have that fate.”
With a thought, a horrifying black soul-sword shot out from Chen Ansheng’s forehead.
The speed was so fast, incomparable to the Immortal Soul of the sea demon clan leader.
“Pfft!”
“Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!”
The Immortal Soul was struck, and the sea demon clan leader let out anguished screams.
Bang!
As the soul-fissure exploded, the sea demon clan leader was completely erased.
Next, Chen Ansheng unleashed his sword intent, transforming his body into a sword and weaving through the sea demon group.
Within less than ten breaths of time, all thousands of sea demons were exterminated, none left alive!
A large amount of cultivation essence flowed into Chen Ansheng’s dantian.
This wave of gains was excellent, a very profitable deal!
On the other side, the Little Dragon King’s Immortal Soul was heavily injured and unable to continue fighting.
Looking at the Chen Ansheng not far away, who was like a ruthless killer, wouldn’t he dare not to escape?
“The next time we meet, Your Majesty will never forgive you!”
The Little Dragon King transformed into his true form, attempting to use the space secret mark bestowed by his father to escape.
“There won’t be a next time!”
Whoosh!
Chen Ansheng flashed his figure and charged at the Little Dragon King.
“Beast, do you think you can break through my defense?”
The Little Dragon King activated the secret mark, a shield of the Earth Essence Law formed around his body, combined with his dragon scales defense. He was confident enough to withstand an attack at the peak Celestial Immortal level.
This human before him, no matter how powerful his sword intent was, would not be able to break through this defense.
As long as he could hold on for three breaths of time, he could escape through the space tunnel.
Chen Ansheng was berserk.
While flying over, the cultivation essence stored in his body was rapidly refined.
Almost instantly.
5,700 years passed by in the blink of an eye, and his realm had abruptly improved to the late Celestial Immortal Realm.
“The strength of my sword intent has increased exponentially!”
After breaking the limits, Chen Ansheng’s abilities in every aspect were greatly enhanced.
Speed, defense, law, sword intent… all grew extremely fast.
Especially the Heaven’s Sword Intent, whose quality had already surpassed the sword intent comprehended by an Immortal King. It was only suppressed due to Chen Ansheng’s lower realm.
This time, with just a small realm enhancement, the power surged several times, eventually increasing by more than a hundred times!
Even Chen Ansheng himself hadn’t expected that.
“You can die!”
Chen Ansheng swung his sword, releasing a sword intent storm imbued with the True Damage Law, rushing toward the Little Dragon King.
The whole process took less than a breath of time.
Boom!
The sword intent storm struck the Little Dragon King’s Earth Element defense.
Crack…
The defense shattered, turning into threads of ochre-colored runes scattering around.
“How is this possible! What kind of sword intent is this!”
With his defense broken, the Little Dragon King was greatly startled.
The frenzied sword intent collided with his dragon scales.
The dragon scales were cut like tofu.
Swish… Swish… Swish…
Pieces of flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
“Friend, stop! May you spare the life of this child!”
As the body of the Little Dragon King was dismembered, a shadowy form of a giant dragon hovered out from his Immortal Soul realm.
This was none other than the father of the Little Dragon King, the first-grade Immortal King Dragon Demon King!
Since he arrived at this sea area and exterminated the aged Dragon King, no one could challenge him anymore, and he had ruled as the king for hundreds of years.
“Father, save me, your child doesn’t want to die.”
A tiny, worm-like juvenile Dragon Demon Soul trembled within the shadowy figure.
To save his son’s life, the Dragon Demon King swallowed his pride: “Friend, this is due to my son’s ignorance that he offended you. I apologize on his behalf. Please raise your hand higher, and spare the life of this child. I shall reward you generously.”
Chen Ansheng sneered with a cold laugh, his killing intent obvious: “What if I don’t spare him!”
The Dragon Demon King restrained his anger, saying: “One should let bygones be bygones. Why should you create a powerful enemy out of a mere quarrel? Please consider it more carefully.”
Chen Ansheng responded coldly: “What is considered creating a powerful enemy? You should know who I am. I fear not even the peak Immortal King, and what do I have to be afraid of from a worm like you? Simply overestimating yourself!”
Kill!
As the words fell, Chen Ansheng released an Immortal Soul Sword.
“Aahh, no, father save…”
Bang!
The panicked voice was abruptly cut off.
The soul of the Little Dragon King was obliterated and dissipated into nothingness.
“No! My child!”
“Die! I demand that you accompany my child in death!”
The shadowy figure quivered and shouted. The next moment, it opened its colossal mouth and lunged at Chen Ansheng.
“Get out of here!”
Chen Ansheng had just reached a new peak and showed no fear.
With a single sweep of his sword.
The rolling sword intent collided head-on with the shadowy figure!
Remember, the essence left in his son’s Immortal Soul realm by the Dragon Demon King was not a useless phantom.
It was a thread of guardian spirit divided from him.
This spectral phantom had one percent of his true strength!
It was enough to annihilate even those at the peak Celestial Immortal Realm!
Unfortunately, his opponent was Chen Ansheng, and the newly ascended Chen Ansheng.
The sword intent stood against the dragon soul.
They were locked in a stalemate for several breaths of time, but the dragon spirit ghost ultimately could not withstand the highly penetrative sword intent.
“Roar!”
With the sword intent piercing the soul, it let out a sorrowful wail as it unwillingly dispersed.
The sky became tranquil.
However, in the blood-sea rolling for thousands of kilometers below, it resembled a living hell.
“Feels great!”
This slaughter gave Chen Ansheng a renewed sense of the pleasures of the highest realms.
“This place is not suitable for staying too long!”
Of course, Chen Ansheng was not arrogant enough to think that he was qualified to battle an Immortal King yet.
“Wait until I reach the peak Celestial Immortal Realm, perhaps I can test my skills against a weaker Immortal King!”
While flying away from this place, Chen Ansheng kept calculating.
Under normal circumstances, there was an insurmountable gap between Celestial Immortals and Immortal Kings.
Unless one was a genius of the Prince level, who would dare to imagine that a Celestial Immortal could stand against an Immortal King?
But Chen Ansheng had that level of confidence now!
If he ascended again, with the Heaven Sword Intent, eighty percent damage reduction, and magical arts, it wasn’t impossible to challenge an Immortal King.
He flew swiftly.
After a few hours, Chen Ansheng arrived at the outer periphery of the Celestial Realm Island.
This place was Li Tai’a’s territory.
Just like Chaos Island, this island also had a natural array guarding its periphery, and ordinary people couldn’t enter.
“Who dares to intrude on my Celestial Realm Island?”
As soon as he approached, a Celestial Immortal sword cultivator dressed in fiery red armor, accompanied by dozens of soldier guards, blocked Chen Ansheng.
At the middle Celestial Immortal Realm only, they were like ants to him.
However, they were Li Tai’a’s people, so naturally, Chen Ansheng would not make a move.
“Go and report to your Immortal King that his brother has come.”
Chen Ansheng stood with his hands behind his back, giving his command calmly.
“Brother? When did our master have a brother like you? Stop the nonsense and leave quickly!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ansheng’s expression turned serious.
It appeared he needed to demonstrate his abilities; otherwise, they wouldn’t take him seriously and would suspect him of lying.
Then, Chen Ansheng flicked a finger.
A thread of sword intent coiled and spiraled out.
Buzz!
In the face of this terrifying sword intent, the sword at the waist of the red-armored sword cultivator resonated on its own.
Clang!
Startled, he hurriedly drew the sword to resist.
Dong…
The moment they collided, the figure of the red-armored sword cultivator was blasted a hundred zhang away. His hand was cracked and bleeding.
“Judged incorrectly! This person’s sword intent is so fearsome; he might truly be the brother of the Immortal King!”
The red-armored sword cultivator was greatly alarmed and quickly knelt half in front of Chen Ansheng.
“It is my duty, and I have offended the noble person. Please forgive me. I shall immediately report to my lord, please wait a moment.”
“Return quickly.”
Chen Ansheng responded calmly.
The red-armored sword cultivator took his command and wasted no time flying into the island.
Approximately twenty breaths of time later.
“Hahaha, Brother Chen, didn’t expect to see you here so soon, welcome, welcome.”
Li Tai’a personally flew to welcome him, very热情ly.
“I have come here to inform Brother Li of an important matter, otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to disturb you.”
“Between brothers, what’s the disturbance? Just speak your mind.”
After Li Tai’a said that, he unconsciously sensed the cultivation level of Chen Ansheng.
“Brother Chen, you… you have actually broken through to the late Celestial Immortal Realm!”
Young master, there is more to this chapter. Please click the next page to continue reading. It gets even better!
This single sensation startled Li Tai’a.
They had parted no longer than a month or two, yet this young man had already ascended through two realms?
Truly unheard of!
Even more shocking, Li Tai’a detected an extremely terrifying sword intent emanating from Chen Ansheng.
He honestly admitted to himself that even if he suppressed his realm to the late Celestial Immortal Realm, he still might not match up to this young man.
This kid’s sword Way talent was truly out of this world.
“Encountered some good fortune, therefore ascended more swiftly. Brother Li, let’s focus on discussing the main issue.”
“Alright, Brother Chen, please.”
The two flew side by side into the Celestial Realm Island.
Upon arriving at Li Tai’a’s Forbidden Palace, Chen Ansheng recounted to Li Tai’a every detail about the Snow-Haired Old Man’s dispatch of Wu Conggang and the two third-rank king-level puppet soldiers.
“I knew that old dog would uncover the plan, but I didn’t expect him to go to such great lengths to counter me.”
Li Tai’a’s expression turned severe and cold.
“Hahaha.” Chen Ansheng chuckled, saying: “That old dog is willing to spend five hundred billion compressed Mo crystals to drive those puppet soldiers against you, but do you know how much he’s offering for my head?”
“Could it be more than five hundred billion?” Li Tai’a paused.
“Three trillion!” Chen Ansheng extended three fingers.
“This brute, has he gone mad!”
Li Tai’a was shocked.
Three trillion Mo crystals, for him, an Immortal King, was an astronomical sum. If he did not know Chen Ansheng so well and did not have the friendship with him, he might have even been tempted by such a bounty!
“Let’s put other matters aside for now. How about you, Brother Li, do you have a solution to handle those two third-rank puppet soldiers?” asked Chen Ansheng.
Li Tai’a frowned.
They were two third-rank puppet soldiers, whose strength was not to be underestimated.
“I am currently at the peak of the second rank realm. Forcibly breaking through may give me a chance to deal with those two puppet soldiers, but what I fear is that other Immortal Kings might seize this opportunity to attack me.”
That was Li Tai’a’s greatest concern.
“There is a possibility!” Chen Ansheng nodded, “I perceive Wu Conggang as a cautious individual. He would likely not take undue risks but would go and persuade other Immortal Kings to jointly attack the Celestial Realm Island.”
“The two major powers closest to me are Blood Knife King and Gold Gun King. Both old men have a grudge against me and have coveted my territory for years. There’s no question, they won’t miss out on this chance to kill me off.” Li Tai’a said solemnly.
The Blood Knife King and Gold Gun King were on par with Li Tai’a in rank.
In one-on-one combat, Li Tai’a could slightly outclass these two, but in a two-on-one death battle, it would be uncertain whether he would emerge victorious.
Moreover, given that the Snow-Haired Old Man had instructed Wu Conggang to also break through, this meant that least five Immortal Kings would be coming to attack Li Tai’a.
The disparity in strength was quite significant.
Chen Ansheng could see that Li Tai’a had no confidence in engaging in a full-scale battle, so he advised: “Why not abandon this territory and escape for now? If the mountain remains, there will be no fear of running out of firewood!”
“It’s difficult to abandon everything before achieving my ambition, how could I willingly retreat?”
Li Tai’a raised his head and sighed.
“Come to think of it, don’t you, Brother Li, have any Immortal King friends you could call upon for assistance?”
Seeing Li Tai’a’s reluctant expression, Chen Ansheng asked.
“Hahaha.”
Li Tai’a laughed bitterly.
“I do have a very powerful good brother, but he’s now half-dead, lying in a cryo-coffin, and can’t help me.”
“In fact, this is one of the reasons why I am unwilling to flee. My brother is in a coma due to severe injuries and relies on the Earth mother Qi in a spiritual cave within the Celestial Realm Chamber to sustain life. Once we leave, he will surely die. Even if I myself were to perish, I cannot abandon him.”
Seeing the melancholy expression on Li Tai’a’s face.
Chen Ansheng was moved, secretly acknowledging that this guy was indeed a person of deep sentiment and righteousness.
Since he had already called him brother, there was no need for pretense or reservation; he should help him out.
Therefore, Chen Ansheng said: “Let me take a try to see if I can cure your brother. Even if I can’t, I have other ways to help you, ensuring that for every villain who comes, you slay one, and for every pair who comes, you slay two!”
