Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 667
Chapter 667: Leaving the Ruin, Beginning the Siege
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Despite his cultivation not breaking through to the mid-stage of Soul Formation, Jiang Chengxuan now had the confidence to battle even those in the late-stage of Soul Formation with his current strength.
He calculated the time.
Jiang Chengxuan was surprised to discover that it had taken him decades to break through to Level 6 of body tempering.
He did not know what the situation outside was like. He did not know if those people were still in the ruin.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Chengxuan suddenly felt a repelling force suddenly appear on his body.
This…
Is it time to leave the ruin?
Buzz!
In an instant, Jiang Chengxuan felt his body enveloped by an irresistible force, leading to a dizzy sensation.
When he regained his senses, he found himself outside the ruin, alongside his wife Shen Ruyan.
In addition, Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean, Dongfang Tianxing, Murong Xian, and Blue Moon were all sent out of the ruin.
Everyone realized that the ruin’s opening period had ended.
Regardless of one’s location inside, the ruin would automatically expel everyone once the time was up.
They just did not know when this ruin would open again.
After all, anyone who could enter the ruin this time would more or less have some good gains.
Wait!
Suddenly, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan sensed something amiss.
Their expressions changed slightly.
This was because they suddenly realized that only a few dozen days had passed in this real world.
However, they remembered it clearly.
They had clearly spent decades to break through their cultivation.
Could it be that the time flow in the space that the two of them had entered was different from the outside world?
Without saying a word, the couple exchanged glances, understanding each other’s thoughts.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, let’s leave this place quickly.”
At this moment, they heard Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang’s voice transmission.
Both of them were puzzled.
Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang continued, “Right after you entered the colorful portal of the Staircase of Inner Inquiry, the people from the Eastern End and the Central Plain allied with the demon race, planning to jointly ambush and kill you both.”
“Ambush and kill us?”
Hearing Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang’s words, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both taken aback.
They never expected that the people from the Eastern End and the Central Plain would choose to cooperate with the demon race.
This was no different from betraying their own race.
Even if there were great conflicts or grudges among them, they should have resolved them internally.
Inviting outsiders, especially enemies, was unthinkable.
Were they foolish?
At this moment, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expressions turned slightly ugly.
It seemed that the Eastern End and the Central Plain had abandoned all rules in their efforts to deal with them.
In that case, there was nothing more to say.
They might as well take this opportunity to end it once and for all.
In any case, they were eager to test their own strength and see who would ultimately be the victor.
Instantly, the couple reached a tacit understanding and quickly gained a complete understanding of each other’s gains from their recent experiences.
Swoosh, swoosh—
At the same time.
In the sky.
Suddenly, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, thirteen…
There were a total of thirteen Soul Formation cultivators.
They appeared near Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
These people were either cultivators from the Eastern End and the Central Plain or Demon Sovereigns from the demon race.
Strangely, these normally antagonistic groups were now united, led by four particularly formidable figures.
They were the Heavenly Lords from the Central Plain, Xiao Taishang and Skyblade, as well as Ink Dragon and Golden Eagle.
These four had all reached the sixth level of Soul Formation.
Among them, Skyblade had only advanced to Soul Formation sixty years ago.
Although he had the least experience among the four of them, his combat strength as a Saber Cultivation was not inferior to the other veteran mid-stage Soul Formation cultivators at all.
As for Xiao Taishang, he was the ancestor of Xiao Shencong, Xiao Shenji, and the others.
Everyone looked at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
The tangible and invisible auras had already locked onto the couple.
Even though they were Soul Formation Heavenly Lords and had comprehended a trace of spatial laws, they couldn’t escape the restraint of their auras.
“They really think highly of us.”
Jiang Chengxuan suddenly chuckled.
However, Heavenly Lord Xuan Yang, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain, and Heavenly Lord Infinite Ocean looked grim.
They hadn’t anticipated their opponents would act so quickly.
They had barely left the ruin when these people had already appeared before them.
“Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Shen, the three of us will do our best to hold them back later.
Go as far as you can.
As long as you can leave, there will still be hope for our Northern Border and even the human race in the future.
Don’t be rash, and don’t let your emotions affect your decisions.”
At that moment, Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain suddenly sent a voice transmission to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
At this moment.
They did not expect Dongfang Tianxing and Murong Xian to help.
At the end of the day, the relationship between the two sides was just an alliance.
Under such a situation, it was normal for the two of them to choose to stand by and do nothing.
At least, think about it from another perspective.
Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain and the others might do the same if they were in their shoes.
Therefore.
The only ones they could count on now were themselves.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both surprised by Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain’s voice transmission.
However, on second thought, they didn’t find it strange.
After all, none of them knew the changes in the two of them.
It was normal to have such pessimistic thoughts.
However, at this moment, the couple clearly did not have much time to explain in detail to them.
All they could do was to generally inform them about some situations, so they didn’t need to worry.
This included informing Dong Fang Tianxing and Murong Xian.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan even tried to win over Blue Moon and her companion, Kong Ming.
After all, the more people on their side, the greater the likelihood of annihilating all their enemies.
BOOM!
Just as Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan finished transmitting their messages, Skyblade, Xiao Taishang, Ink Dragon, and Golden Eagle simultaneously made their move on the opposite side.
Joining them were Xiao Shencong, Elder Black Tortoise and the others.
However, their target was not Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, but Heavenly Lord Everlasting Mountain and his group.
Rumble!
In that instant, the entire Death Desert seemed to have been turned upside down.
Rings of energy waves capable of annihilating anything continuously spread rapidly in all directions.
Looking down from above, one could see at the center of these terrifying energy ripples, there was a small circle of ripples that were pitch black, slowly expanding.
This was nothing else but a spatial black hole formed by the collision of both sides, shattering the space.
In that black hole, all light, energy, and matter would be instantly annihilated upon approach, leaving nothing behind.
Fortunately, this place was the Death Desert, devoid of spiritual veins and not many living beings.
Otherwise, Jiang Chengxuan and the others might have had to bear countless karma.
“Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, you disrespect the higher realms, disregard the ancestral teachings, and are insanely cruel, conspiring with traitors to slay our Central Plain’s Heavenly Lords. Such actions are utterly rebellious and deserving of heavenly punishment, doomed forever.
Today, we shall act on behalf of the heavens to restore peace to the world.”
At that moment, Xiao Taishang from the Central Plain’s Great Ling Imperial Palace transformed into a hundred-foot-tall Dharma Form.
Majestic and towering, he looked down coldly at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and others, making a solemn and authoritative judgment.
This made Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and others who heard his words feel disgusted.
People from the Great Ling Imperial Palace were always so hypocritical, always trying to give themselves a righteous label.
Right or wrong, didn’t they have any idea in their own hearts?
BOOM!
The response to Xiao Taishang was a massive halberd radiance sweeping in from afar, carrying a momentum that seemed to smash everything, and it quickly reached in front of him.
“Stubborn and unenlightened!” Coldness flashed in Xiao Taishang’s eyes.
His huge Dharma Form raised its hand and waved.
With a whoosh, a shield entwined with nine fire dragons appeared in front of him.
This was his intrinsic defensive treasure, the Nine Dragons Flame Shield.
It contained nine types of flames including Dragon Flame, Flying Flame, Underworld Flame, and Earth Flame.
Although not all were Heavenly Flames, their power had reached an unimaginable level, capable of blocking any attack below the late-stage of Soul Formation.
In that instant, a blindingly bright flame lit up the space between heaven and earth.
The collision of forces, as if occurring in a separate space, initially made no sound.
It wasn’t until much later that a sound like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting thunderously burst open in the sky.
There was a crack!
A small circular black hole suddenly appeared in the void, with chaotic and violent energies rampaging within it.
At the same time.
The originally fiercely burning Nine Dragons Flame Shield suddenly emitted a mournful cry.
The figures of the nine fire dragons on it began to dim and even showed signs of collapsing.
“How is that possible?”
Xiao Taishang’s eyes shot out two beams of astonished light, his face showing utter disbelief..
