Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Heaven Opens Its Eyes! The Power of Heaven and Earth!

“This… what realm is this…”

Under the thundering clouds, Lv Baitian stood on his magic artifact, filled with fear as he gazed at the Origin Tree of Ephemera, murmuring to himself.

Even he, at the ninth layer of the Unification Realm, felt this way, not to mention those with a lower cultivation level.

The Supreme Sect disciples below felt as if they were being crushed by a thousand weights. They began to descend, forcing their formation to break.

“What are we facing…”

“Impossible… Impossible… Could the Ephemera Sect truly have an immortal?”

“What should we do… Is there really no hope?”

“We still have the Sword Venerable Fudao. If he arrives, there might be a glimmer of hope…”

While the disciples of the Supreme Sect clung to a sliver of hope, the other sects had plunged into utter despair.

Daoist Tianshu from the Three Pure Ones Mountain stared at the Origin Tree of Ephemera, his face pale. No matter how he calculated, he couldn’t see any chance of hope.

“No escape from this calamity…”

Daoist Tianshu murmured to himself, the righteous aura around him beginning to dissipate.

As the terrifying aura of Butcher Immortal Jing enveloped the Taichen Dynasty, the morale of the cultivators of the Nine Dynasties instantly collapsed.

Yet some refused to give up. Great cultivators of the Mystic Heart Realm from the Cangtian Sect continued to fight with their lives, displaying the leadership spirit of the Nine Dynasties Alliance Hierarch.

An Hao and Wu Jue sped through the air. Their cultivation levels were low, and at the moment, no one stopped them. They swiftly flew into the Wanji Forest, intending to rescue those who had become sacrifices. However, as soon as they landed, strands of bloody aura quickly entangled their feet.

Before they could react, the runes beneath them burst forth with dazzling blood light, spreading rapidly and sweeping across the Taichen Dynasty at an astonishing speed. Every living being within the dynasty’s borders, including the great cultivators in the air, was immobilized.

Even those great cultivators of the Mystic Heart Realm were suppressed. Though they could still move, their actions were as slow as drifting leaves, making those who wanted to escape feel utterly hopeless.

They suddenly felt that the Taichen Dynasty was boundless!

On a cliff, Li Xuandao, Lv Xian, Yi Liuyun, and a group of imposing cultivators were all pinned where they stood.

“What is this?” A cultivator looked at the mysterious blood line wrapping around his legs, shouting in terror.

He tried to struggle, but couldn’t break free. What made him most desperate was the realization that his control over his own body was slipping away.

Lv Xian lowered his head, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Li Xuandao gazed into the distance, his expression calm, as if he did not fear this disaster at all.

“This is the Mahayana Array, which requires the power of a Mahayana Realm cultivator to activate. Do you know what the Mahayana Realm is?”

Butcher Immortal Jing’s voice rang out, chilling the heavens and earth.

Li Xuandao’s eyes began to flicker upon hearing this.

Meanwhile, Lu Lingjun was in the air, similarly ensnared by the mysterious blood lines that had appeared out of nowhere and were impossible to defend against.

Beneath her, the White Spirit Demon Emperor wailed: “We’re doomed!”

Lu Lingjun looked at the Origin Tree of Ephemera and saw a figure stepping out from the black fissure within the tree.

It was Butcher Immortal Jing!

His black robe flared violently, the cuffs and hems tattered, making his attire resemble black flames. His face, pale as death, broke into a sinister smile, looking down upon the world below. Two vivid marks of evil ghosts on his forehead seemed ready to leap out.

Rumble—

The ground trembled fiercely, and a blood-colored barrier rose from the Wanji Forest, making the sparse trees seem like insignificant weeds.

More and more cultivators of the Ephemera Sect descended, kneeling on the ground, zealously gazing at him.

“Sword Venerable Fudao of the Supreme Sect, why don’t you show yourself?”

“Taoist of Immortality from the Three Pure Ones Mountain, where are you chanting your scriptures?”

“Didn’t someone from the Cangtian Sect boast that it wouldn’t be difficult to flatten the Ephemera Sect?”

“Why don’t you show yourself? If you don’t come, millions of lives will be cast into the Six Paths, aiding me in becoming immortal!”

Butcher Immortal Jing’s voice echoed again and again, extinguishing the hope in the hearts of the Nine Dynasties’ cultivators. More and more people fell into despair.

In his blood-red eyes, the reflection of ephemeral flowers appeared as the human face on the Origin Tree of Ephemera opened its mouth, spitting out a giant ephemeral flower that flew to his feet, carrying him upward.

As he ascended, everyone within the Taichen Dynasty felt their vitality being drained, further deepening their despair.

Far in the Mystic Valley, Gu An felt a chill in his heart.

This guy’s aura is so strong!

It feels like his realm is almost comparable to the ninth layer of the Mahayana Realm!

Fortunately, I broke through ahead of time, and even to the ninth layer of the Nirvana Realm.

Gu An locked his Divine Sense onto Sage Xuan Miao.

With Gu An’s mana enhancing him, Sage Xuan Miao’s speed far surpassed before and he was already nearing the Taichen Dynasty.

Sage Xuan Miao also heard Butcher Immortal Jing’s voice, feeling an urgency he’d never felt before. He had never thought his speed could be so slow.

“Mountain God! It’s too late!”

Sage Xuan Miao roared in his heart, tightly gripping the Mountain God’s wooden figure, his arm trembling.

“If it’s too late, then throw it out.” Gu An’s voice reached his ears.

Upon hearing this, he immediately hurled the wooden figure forward.

As soon as the figure left his hand, it burst forth with terrifying speed, transforming into a streak of cyan light that charged towards the Wanji Forest with unstoppable force.

Almost instantly, Butcher Immortal Jing sensed something, turning his head towards the horizon.

Lu Lingjun was directly in Butcher Immortal Jing’s line of sight, and feeling his gaze, her heart trembled. Under her were the White Spirit Demon Emperor who was shaking even more.

In a trance, Lu Lingjun seemed to sense something, subconsciously turning her head.

Time seemed to freeze as she caught sight of a streak of cyan light. Within the cyan light, she vaguely saw a small figure.

An Hao, struggling desperately, turned his head and saw the cyan light speeding over, passing above his head at an inconceivable speed.

On the cliff, Li Xuandao watched as the cyan light streaked across the horizon, his vision blurring.

In the desperate eyes of the countless sacrifices, a streak of cyan light pierced through the darkened sky, bringing light into their view.

Butcher Immortal Jing’s reaction surpassed everyone in the Taichen Dynasty; he raised his hand to block, forming a black light with terrifying spiritual power to intercept the cyan streak.

His face changed slightly, and he coldly said: “Mahayana Realm, who are you?”

Within the cyan light, the small wooden figure turned, facing Butcher Immortal Jing.

The small wooden figure raised its hand, pointing at Butcher Immortal Jing.

Butcher Immortal Jing’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly clenched his right fist, forming a demonic claw of terrifying black light, aiming to crush the small wooden figure.

Bang!

A massive beam of cyan light suddenly emerged from behind the small wooden figure, engulfing Butcher Immortal Jing at an unimaginable speed.

Too fast!

Standing at the peak of the Mahayana Realm, Butcher Immortal Jing couldn’t even react!

The towering Origin Tree of Ephemera was instantly pierced by the cyan beam, its body rapidly turning to ash, dispersing the thunderclouds in the sky. The bright sky suddenly burst into view, causing countless people to subconsciously close their eyes.

The cyan light around the small wooden figure dissipated.

Silence fell over the world.

Great cultivators of the Nine Dynasties and the Ephemera Sect stared in shock at the diminishing body of the Origin Tree of Ephemera, their minds blank.

The small wooden figure turned, its body trembling slightly.

In an instant, the sound of thunder exploded!

The ground shattered, countless trees shot up, rushing towards the cultivators of the Ephemera Sect with mad speed. The great cultivators of the Mystic Heart Realm instinctively tried to flee, but were swiftly entangled by the trees.

Beyond the Mahayana Array, endless trees rose, forming walls on all sides.

The Ephemera Sect cultivators within the formation saw their faces change dramatically, leaping up to try to escape over the walls, but were immediately entangled by vines and pulled into the trees.

“No—”

“What is this! Who!”

“Sect Hierarch, save me!”

“Spare me! Spare me!”

Countless screams and cries erupted, plunging the earth into despair.

The Nine Dynasties cultivators scrambled to dodge, but soon realized that the vines and trees bypassed them, targeting only the Ephemera Sect cultivators.

Daoist Tianshu of the Three Pure Ones Mountain hovered in the sky, overlooking the earth. Dust rose like an ocean, boundless, as if covering the entire mortal world. The trees twisted like azure dragons, mysterious and grand, shattering this Mystic Heart Realm great cultivator’s perception and cognition.

He could not imagine such mighty power.

It was as if heaven and earth were punishing the Ephemera Sect!

Not only him, but all the great cultivators of the Nine Dynasties were watching this shocking sight. No matter how high they flew, they could not see the end of the sea of trees. The entire land was engulfed in a sea of dust, with countless trees growing rampant.

Lu Lingjun stared dumbfounded at the scene, unable to believe her eyes.

“The power of heaven and earth… Heaven has opened its eyes!” the White Spirit Demon Emperor cried out in excitement, the blood lines on its body beginning to dissipate. It regained control of its demon body.

On a mountain top in the North Sea Mountain, Gu An stood on the cliff, facing the wind, displaying the majesty of an immortal.

The wooden figure given to Sage Xuan Miao was merely a decoy to make Butcher Immortal Jing believe that the approaching entity was only a Mahayana Realm cultivator. Gu An used the mana on the wooden figure to lock onto Butcher Immortal Jing from a distance, then used his full power to kill Butcher Immortal Jing.

Mentally intense, but the process was brief!

A series of prompts flashed before Gu An’s eyes as he shifted his right foot slightly.

Within Ten Thousand Li of the Taichen Dynasty, the vast sea of trees came to a halt, each tree spine-shaking the eyes of all living beings.

Gu An turned, the wind lifting his black hair, and he walked into the forest, disappearing into the darkness as if he had never appeared.

Meanwhile, Sage Xuan Miao was still rushing towards the Taichen Dynasty.

When he reached its border, his speed began to slow. Staring at the towering, curving trees before him, he was struck with awe.

“Could this be the power of the Mountain God?”

Sage Xuan Miao descended slowly, landing on a cliff, standing as Gu An had done before, the wind blowing against him.

Unlike Gu An’s calm, his face was filled with shock.

His eyes showed a mixture of surprise and reverence.

Suddenly, he felt a deep sense of fear.

He had been so rude to the Mountain God, yet the Mountain God had shown him mercy.

The stark contrast between the modest Mountain God and the magnificent spectacle before him overwhelmed his heart.

He slowly knelt down, his knees mere inches from the cliff edge.

“To serve for a lifetime… it turns out to be my honor…”
