Chapter 280: All Cards on the Table, Chen Shisan Swings His Sword
The battle on Ascension Road continued for a full thirty years.
During these thirty years, almost all the people brought by Chen Changsheng and Zhang Bairen had perished in battle.
Only Meng Yu remained from the cultivators of Kongming Tian, while the Heavenly Court had two Immortal Sovereign Realm experts left.
Meng Yu survived entirely thanks to the Yin-Yang Protective Mirror given to her by Chen Changsheng.
However, even so, Meng Yu was severely injured and on the brink of d*ath.
Throughout these thirty years, she had been besieged by three Immortal Sovereign Realm powerhouses, in addition to a supreme powerhouse above the Immortal Sovereign Realm.
This supreme powerhouse caused tremendous losses for the Heavenly Court.
If it weren’t for the Master stepping in to eliminate this person, everyone would have likely been wiped out long ago.
But the Master’s intervention was not without a cost; at the moment he took action, his chest was pierced by an opponent, nearly crushing his heart.
“Boom!”
A section of the void exploded, and Chen Changsheng was pulled out by someone grasping his neck.
At this moment, both of his hands had vanished, and a third of his abdomen was missing. The price the Elder had paid was one left hand and one right leg.
“Hahaha!”
Laughing loudly, the Elder held Chen Changsheng before him.
“What a pity! What a pity!”
“If you had a bit more time to prepare, your achievements would definitely surpass mine.”
“You were too anxious; that is the reason for your failure.”
Facing the Elder’s taunts, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly.
“Defeat is defeat; there’s no excuse. Do you know why I lost?”
“Why?”
“Because I was waiting for you to let your guard down!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of golden light flew out from Chen Changsheng’s mouth.
“Boom!”
The golden light pierced through the Elder’s forehead as Chen Changsheng detonated his own body.
Golden Silkworm Bug!
After emerging from the Underworld Forest, Chen Changsheng had quietly nurtured the Golden Silkworm Bug.
The Golden Silkworm Bug was a sacred object of the Witch Clan, known as the king of all insects, devouring everything.
The power of this insect could even threaten Heavenly Mandate powerhouses.
To guarantee a fatal strike, Chen Changsheng had kept this trump card hidden until now, solely to make the opponent let down their guard.
“Swish!”
Chen Changsheng’s head barely stopped in mid-air, a large amount of flesh and bl**d regenerating from his neck.
Soon, a brand-new body completed its regeneration.
“Boom!”
Another explosion reverberated as Zhang Bairen, bloodied, flew out of the void.
In his hand, he tightly gripped a Golden Core, as Supreme Venerable Wujitian was now at his weakest.
The Golden Core had a fatal drawback; if it was destroyed, more than eighty percent of one’s cultivation would vanish.
“Buzz!”
A massive golden book materialized in the void, forcefully trapping the Heavenly Mandate powerhouse who had been fighting Nalan Xingde within it.
“Bang!”
After finishing this, Nalan Xingde fell heavily to the Ascension Road.
“Master, I did not disgrace my mission.”
Smiling, he responded to Chen Changsheng, and then Nalan Xingde tilted his head, closing his eyes.
As for whether Nalan Xingde was alive or dead, Chen Changsheng currently had no mind to care.
Because a stronger aura was emerging from the Sacred Forbidden Ground.
At the same time, powerful figures appeared at the other end of the Ascension Road.
Seeing this, even Chen Changsheng felt a tingle on his scalp.
“Zhang Bairen, didn’t you say that some people’s thoughts had changed?”
“Why are there still so many of them?”
In response, Zhang Bairen wiped the bl**d from the corner of his mouth and spoke.
“I didn’t lie. If some people’s thoughts hadn’t changed, there would be at least twenty more people here.”
Chen Changsheng: “……”
“Then can you call in some reinforcements? You just came out of the Forbidden Ground.”
“I already called; didn’t you see that the forces here only belong to the Sacred Ruins?”
“You don’t think that there are only the Sacred Ruins and the Ancient One as the two Forbidden Grounds in the world, do you?”
“Had I not called for reinforcements, we would face even more enemies.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes dramatically.
“So the Emperor Huangtian attacked Ascension Road back then, facing these people?”
“Indeed!”
“And those helping him were few and far between. Don’t think for a second that he earned the title of ‘Emperor Huangtian’ through nothing.”
“That title was earned through his battles!”
As he spoke, Zhang Bairen summoned the Haotian Mirror once again and charged toward the end of the Ascension Road.
Watching the bl**d-soaked Zhang Bairen fight desperately and glancing at the Saint Ruins’ menacing stance, Chen Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Where is Bai Ze?”
A powerful spiritual sense echoed along the Ascension Road as Chen Changsheng’s voice pierced through to the Lower Realm.
Bai Ze, who had been resting under a tree, suddenly opened his eyes.
“Blind monk, it’s time for us to take the stage.”
With that, a blind old monk appeared on Bai Ze’s back.
Waving his two claws madly, he forcefully tore a gap in the barrier that sealed off the Ascension Road.
Once the gap appeared, Bai Ze quickly flew up with the blind old monk.
“Where are the three hundred thousand heroic spirits!”
Chen Changsheng’s voice resonated again, and the tombstones in the God and Demon Cemetery, which had been silent for a long time, began to emit twinkling starlight.
Finally, they transformed into a vast galaxy rushing toward the Ascension Road.
“Buzz!”
The Bronze Fate Lamp appeared, and a spectacle manifested behind Chen Changsheng.
As the three hundred thousand heroic spirits gathered, Chen Changsheng’s phenomenon evolved into a massive coffin.
“Amitabha!”
Feeling the familiar aura again, Xuanxin, on Bai Ze’s back, softly recited a Buddhist chant.
Then, a tidal wave of demonic energy erupted from his body.
The grievances of thousands of years erupted in this moment.
The tragic incident involving the Heartless Fairy, aside from the involvement of the Heartless Pavilion and Fang Qiancheng, had the biggest behind-the-scenes mastermind— the Sacred Forbidden Ground.
He had survived for so long waiting for this day.
Xuanxin’s physical body began to disappear at a visible speed.
At the same time, a half-smiling, half-crying Buddha appeared above the Sacred Forbidden Ground.
“Hum!”
Sensing Xuanxin’s gaze, a cold snort came from within the Sacred Forbidden Ground.
Then, a giant hand caught the falling Buddha.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng spoke again, “Where is Chen Shisan!”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s voice, Chen Shisan, who had been meditating in the God and Demon Cemetery, opened his eyes.
Resting across his knees was a simple long sword.
With a single step, Chen Shisan arrived beside Chen Changsheng.
“Swing a sword and cut him down!”
“At your command!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shisan swung his sword toward the Sacred Forbidden Ground.
With one swing, an invisible long river appeared before everyone.
Within that long river, there were countless images, each depicting Chen Shisan’s action of swinging the sword.
“Swish!”
The Sacred Forbidden Ground was momentarily blocked, and the giant hand descending toward the Buddha disappeared completely.
“Boom!”
The half-smiling, half-crying Buddha heavily slammed onto the ground of the Sacred Forbidden Ground, and a powerful being immediately let out a miserable cry.
“Burial!”
Following this, Chen Changsheng bellowed, and a gigantic coffin engulfed the entire Sacred Forbidden Ground.
“Boom!”
The immense Sacred Forbidden Ground was banished to the void by Chen Changsheng, who also detonated the massive coffin using all of his cultivation.
After completing all this, Chen Changsheng staggered a bit.
A giant hand supported him, and turning his head, he saw it was the white-haired Chen Shisan.
Looking at the figures on the Ascension Road ahead, Chen Shisan calmly said, “I still have one more sword move left.”
“Are you really not going to let us?”
