Chapter 689 - Soul Peek, Yang Jian’s Cursed Contamination
Chapter 689: Soul Peek, Yang Jian’s Cursed Contamination
In the Eastern Wasteland, the five powerhouses were Heaven Mystery Pavilion, Lightning Sect, Ye Clan, Murong Clan and the Rainbow Deer Demon Emperor. Both the Murong Clan and Demon Emperor had been wiped out. The remaining Lightning Sect and Ye Clan joined forces and had summoned many skilled fighters to gather there. Although Ye Clan’s ancestor and the Lightning Sect’s master had been killed and even without the existence of their Wisdom Elite backing them, they were still a force to reckon with. They were not bold enough to cause chaos in the seventh dimension, they could, however, avenge the fallen. Besides, they had the backing of the entire fourth dimension. Today would be the day they get a little payback.
Yang Jian took a deep breath and in a low voice said, “Looks like you discovered us long ago and came prepared.” In a blink of an eye, they were already surrounded by ten Heavenly Realm fighters whereas the only Heavenly Realm fighter on his side was Yang Jian himself. There was no way he was going to come out of this alive.
Master Ye narrowed his eyes at Yang Jian and with a cold scoff said, “We’ve not only discovered you but know all about the four-part architecture in your dimension.”
At this, Yang Jian’s pupils shrank rapidly and the other Heavenly Soldiers’ breath also quickened to the extent their mana became messed up. The existence of the expert in the four part architecture was the biggest secret in the seventh dimension, and no one lived to see another day once they discovered this secret, so how was it possible for this group of people to know about it? The exposure of the existence of the expert was definitely not a good thing for god-knows what the enemies would do to him.
“It looks like the intel is true.” An inexplicable color flashed in the eyes of Ye Qingshan and Lei Teng, chief of the Lightning Sect. Shen Suanzi was the one who told them that a terrifying, strange, and unimaginable opportunity for transformation existed in the backyard of the four part architecture. The opportunity would even enable them to be the most powerful existence in the whole of the seven dimensions. The reason they came to the portal entrance was to get more information out of Yang Jian and the others.
Lei Teng’s blue hair fluttered, his body flashed with thunder, and he spoke very oppressively, “We’ll consider letting you live if you tell us more information of your dimension and everything about the four-part architecture.”
“Very funny. Do you really think we’ll do that?” Yang Jian’s mana surged around his body, holding a three-pointed two-edged sword, his robe flapped around wildly as he shouted, “All the Heavenly Soldiers, listen to me. We shall fight to the death!” There was no fear on everyone’s faces, and they all replied in unison, “Fight to the death!”
“Deploy Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation!” Following Yang Jian’s order, everyone raised the weapons in their hands, turning their mana into dots of stars, blending them into the formation, and embellishing the sky.
“Formation of the seventh dimension? Haha! Useless!” Ye Qingshan and Lei Teng laughed disdainfully even when they were in the middle of the formation. In their eyes, Yang Jian was just struggling before his death, which was extremely ridiculous.
“Asking you to surrender is a mere courtesy. What I really want to do is capture you all alive and peek into your soul.”
“Hahaha, capture them all!” Their subordinates charged toward them at the same time, whether it was the great power of the Heavenly Realm fighters and the Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, their mana washed over the formation like a tidal wave. They chose to use brute strength and in the face of absolute power, the so-called formation could only be crushed!
The endless starlight converged into a shadow of Yang Jian, his face was extremely solemn. He was holding a lantern and the colorful brilliance lit up the surrounding area. A stream of holy white sacred fire spewed out from the Lotus Lantern, transforming into a giant white lotus, resisting against the infinite mana.
He was responsible for guarding here, so it was naturally he came prepared with a few tricks up his sleeves. The Lotus Lantern was the treasure that Nuwa lent him. The Lotus Lantern was originally an Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure but coupled with the innumerable merits given by Li Nianfan, it was stronger than the ordinary Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure and it was also a very powerful magic weapon in the hands of the great Heavenly Realm fighter.
“This treasure is not bad at all. I want it!” Lei Teng’s eyes lit up slightly, and he also joined the battlefield. He raised his hand and pointed. The terrible thunder came from all over and gathered into a lightning spear. The laws of thunder converge into a world-destroying force, emitting a cold thunder light, illuminating the surroundings. Without warning, the lightning spear came crashing down on them and its speed was much faster than ordinary lightning! The lightning spear directly pierced through the formation as if hell-bent on ripping the air and starry sky apart. Even the Lotus Lantern’s sacred fire was finally unable to endure the attack much longer and was instantly shattered.
“Gah!”
“Ahh— —”
All the heavenly soldiers flew out, blood spraying from the countless wounds on their body. Yang Jian’s battle robe was torn in half, his face was bloodless, but he still held a three-pointed two-edged sword, and stared coldly at his opponent.
“General Yang— —” Suddenly, a hand grabbed Yang Jian’s hand. It was Gu Yuan. His hair was disheveled, he was squatting on the ground, blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his hands were shaking. He solemnly said, “General Yang, we can die, but you must go back and report the situation!”
While speaking, Yang Jian felt Gu Yuan stuffed something into his hand. “I drank half of Deer Blood Wine given by an expert, and saved the remaining half. I now entrust it to you now so remember to visit me at my grave. Run!” Gu Yuan pushed Yang Jian abruptly, then rushed forward and said loudly, “Deploy the formation again!”
The wounded Heavenly Soldiers did not hesitate, they desperately activated their mana with a roar and sacrificed their lives to ignite the last star spark. The Zhou Heavenly Stars Formation lit up and shone its lights toward everyone from the fourth dimension.
“Drop dead!” Lei Teng’s eyes sank and with a wave of his hand, the endless thunder covered the starry sky like a tide. The starry sky shattered, scarred all over, and the starlight became dimmed.
“Ahh— —” Many Heavenly Soldiers could not hold on anymore and their bodies miserably burst into a mist of blood. Yang Jian’s eyes were red, tears blurred his vision, and even the eyes on his forehead were crying. He yelled and vented, gritted his teeth, turned and left. Gu Yuan was right, he could not die here. He must report back to the Heavenly Palace! Obviously, this group had come prepared. How did they know the existence of the four-part architecture and what were they going to do about it? He could not let his brothers die in vain!
“Don’t even think you can escape!” Ye Qingshan smiled sarcastically and chased after Yang Jian with Lei Teng. With a raise of their hand, two ultimate spells immediately shot towards him. There were also two Heavenly Realm fighters who hurriedly joined in the pursuit and blocked Yang Jian’s escape route.
Yang Jian raised his hand and drank the Deer Blood Wine. Then, his aura surged and his injury recovered in a flash. “Get outta my way!” He roared. The Lotus Lantern felt his anger, and the sacred fire roared, and the terrifying flames raged around like a meteorite. The powerful force made the two Heavenly Realm fighters overwhelmed. However, the ultimate spells of Ye Qingshan and Lei Teng crashed down on him in that instant. The defense of the Lotus Lantern vibrated, and Yang Jian spewed blood out again. Without looking back, he fled towards the distance at a faster speed.
“It’s amazing how he still has this kind of holy medicine hidden up his sleeves.” At this moment, a misty voice suddenly sounded in the void, the law of heaven and earth became turbulent with the sound, and the pressure of the great Wisdom also came suppressing down. A Wisdom Elite had arrived.
Yang Jian could not believe it. His heart sank to the bottom. He burned everything he had almost instantly, and at the same time, he refined all the power of the Deer Blood Wine and urged the Lotus Lantern to the extreme, so that the speed and defense reached the peak.
In the void, the power of Wisdom gathered, and a palm phantom charged straight at Yang Jian. This palm penetrated the space, containing the power to suppress everything, and the law was annihilated, and it slapped Yang Jian in an instant! The Lotus Lantern trembled violently. Numerous cracks instantly appeared on the lantern’s surface and the aura was lost. Yang Jian’s body was also ruthlessly torn, and his blood vessels burst, exploding countless blood mists. If it was not for the fact that he focused on cultivating the flesh, he would have definitely become minced meat.
However, he was actually dead. The whole body was eroded by the Power of Wisdom, contaminated with the cause and effect of death, and was shrouded in uncertainty. “No, I can’t die yet!” He clung on to his last breath forcibly, suppressing the scattered spirits with his amazing will, and desperately headed toward the Heavenly Palace!
Shen Suanzi looked at the direction in which Yang Jian had disappeared from the portal entrance, but in the end he did not pursue him. He still had lingering fears about the strange power in the seventh dimension. He understood manipulating everything from the dark was the way to go when dealing with a terrifying opponent. Had it not been for the fact that Ye Clan and Lightning Sect had not been able to stop Yang Jian, he would definitely not have made a move. He said indifferently, “A strike from me and death is for sure. ”
Lei Teng was full of greed, and said, “Sure enough, as Shen Suanzi said, there are really many opportunities in the seventh dimension. The lantern or the magic medicine are definitely good treasures!”
Shen Suanzi smiled slightly, and said, “Haha, that’s not all! You’ll soon see for yourself that even a blade of grass in the backyard of the four-part architecture is a Spiritual Root!”
“We would become invincible once we occupied the place!” Ye Qingshan and Lei Ting’s eyes flashed brightly, and they had a hunch, that place could definitely help them breakthrough to the level of a Wisdom Elite.
“Shen Suanzi, what should we do with these three who we’ve purposely captured alive?” Ye Qingshan asked.
Gu Yuan’s breath was weak, and he stared at Shen Suanzi and gasped, “How…how do you know about the four-part architecture??”
Ye Qingshan slapped Gu Yuan’s face and sneered, “We’re the ones asking the questions around here! You’ll only speak when spoken to!”
“We’ll peek into the other two’s souls first!” Shen Suanzi said.
“Ahh— —” Soon, the other two Heavenly Soldiers screamed.
“These two don’t know much information, but it seems like there aren’t that many skilled fighters in the seventh dimension. The only strange thing is the four-part architecture.”
“The seventh dimension used to be an unbearable place but underwent a shocking change when the four-part architecture appeared. It contains infinite opportunities and possibilities. Even the Area of the Gods in the seventh dimension has something to do with the four-part architecture.”
“Inside, there seems to be an unimaginable expert living in it!”
Ye Qingshan and Lei Teng were both excited and anxious. The excitement was because of the good fortune in the four-part architecture, and the anxiety was because of the expert. Shen Suanzi waved his hand and said with a smile, “Don’t panic, the Heaven Mystery Sect already has a way to deal with the so-called expert.”
Gu Yuan trembled and with a sneer toward Shen Suanzi said, “Impossible. There’s only death waiting for you if you dare lay a finger on the expert!”
“Shen Suanzi, this person seems to know more, shall we peek into his soul?” Lei Teng asked.
“It is precisely because he knows so much that ordinary soul peeking methods are useless to him.” Shen Suanzi looked at Gu Yuan and said, “I can feel that there is cause and effect linking this person to the four-part architecture. This kind of cause and effect cannot be looked at directly, and special means are needed. Take him away and I’ll deal with him personally.”
“You dogs, kill me if you have the ability!” Gu Yuan struggled and yelled, unable to commit suicide. Whether it was voluntary or not, he could not rest in peace with the knowledge that he had betrayed the expert. At this moment, he could not help but admire Xiao Chengfeng and Xing Ya a little. With their ability to garner hate, they would be able to inspire the other party to kill him.
Meanwhile, the dying Yang Jian managed to make it back to the Heavenly Palace with the help of the remaining Deer Blood Wine. In the Southern Sky Gate, Juling Shen was standing, frowning, and looking into the distance. He faintly felt something that made him uneasy. Suddenly his eyes focused on something and his expression changed drastically. He quickly moved his feet in a particular direction.
When he saw Yang Jian, his eyes instantly became red, and he said in anger, “Yang Jian, what happened? How did you become like this?”
“The people from the fourth dimension did this to me. I don’t know how they know of our and the four-part architecture’s existence,” said Yang Jian weakly.
“Help! Quickly send some help!” Juling Shen shouted anxiously as he returned to the Heavenly Palace as quickly as possible.
Soon, the entire Heavenly Palace was alarmed. Everyone’s eyes became red the moment they saw Yang Jian. They could sense his death was imminent and this time even his soul would not be spared.
“Who is it? Who on earth dares to hurt my nephew?” Tian Tong shouted angrily as a murderous aura erupted from him.
“Uncle Tong Tian, I was only joking with you when I called you Little Tong. Congratulations for breaking through to the Heavenly Realm.” Yang Jian spoke with difficulty, and then quickly explained everything that had happened.
“Obviously the Fourth Realm came prepared but how did we discover us?”
“They actually know about the four-part architecture? And still dares to make a move against us! Their plan must be very ambitious! Could it be because of the stamp?”
“Wouldn’t the expert be put in danger if they knew about his state?”
The people of the Heavenly Palace were suddenly shocked, and their hearts grew heavy. These changes were unexpected to them.
“Yang Jian! Yang Jian!” The Jade Emperor shouted as he watched Yang Jian’s breath become weaker and weaker. His vitality was already dissipated, and his soul was passing like flowing water.
“Get a grip of yourself, Yang Jian!”
“Quick, bring some Deer Blood Wine over!”
“It’s no use. Don’t waste it. Goodbye friends…” Yang Jian’s voice was already becoming inaudible.
“No, you can’t die!”
“The expert has always valued your service! He won’t let you die. Go tell the expert. He might be able to save him!”
“Yes, hold on just a little longer, Yang Jian! I’ll go ask the expert for help now!”
