Chapter 468: Immortal Monarch’s Tomb

Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Immortal Monarch’s Tomb

"Not good!"

The old man was immediately startled and instantly channeled all his Spiritual Power to form a thick Energy Shield in front of him, hoping to block Ji Chen’s sword.

"Crack!"

However, the terrifying nature of this sword completely exceeded his expectations.

In the instant they collided, the Energy Shield in front of the old man was utterly inadequate, shattered by Ji Chen’s sword.

"Buzz!"

The terrifying Sword Momentum was astonishingly unmatched, directly piercing through the old man’s chest before everyone’s eyes.

"Puff!"

He immediately coughed up blood, and his complexion instantly turned extremely pale.

But, as a powerful figure in the Great Emperor Realm, even if their physical body was destroyed, they would not die instantly; they could continue to survive in the form of a Divine Soul.

However, just as the old man’s Divine Soul attempted to leave his body, he suddenly discovered that it was as if an unseen force was firmly holding it, preventing it from leaving his physical form.

"Kill!"

A cold voice came from Ji Chen’s mouth.

With a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes, he employed the power of the Immortal Format, channeling it through his palm into the Immortal Sword, directly invading the old man’s body, wiping out his Divine Soul in an instant, completely annihilating him on the spot.

"Bang!"

The cold corpse slowly fell backward, making a light sound, waking up the surrounding amazed crowd.

"Dead?"

Someone couldn’t help but ask, their face full of fear.

A master at the Reincarnation Realm Sixth Layer was killed just like that in front of their eyes.

Moreover, the one who killed him was merely a young junior at the Reincarnation Realm Third Layer.

Such a thing, if not witnessed firsthand, would be hard for anyone to believe it could be true.

"Buzz!"

Ji Chen snorted coldly, not caring about what the others thought.

He swung the Immortal Sword forward, the sword’s edge pointing at the crowd, "Anyone else wants to die?"

The entire place fell silent, and everyone stayed quiet at this moment.

No one dared to stand out anymore.

Even a master at the Reincarnation Realm Sixth Layer was dead, having his Divine Soul erased by Ji Chen’s sword, annihilated on the spot. Among those present, who could withstand his attack?

If anyone dared to make a move or block Ji Chen’s path at this moment, their fate would undoubtedly be no better than that of the old black-robed man just now.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ji Chen coldly swept his gaze over them.

Without saying a word, he finally grasped the Immortal Sword and headed toward the other side of the wooden bridge.

Watching him finally walk across the bridge, not a single person dared to offer any obstruction, let alone tell him to stop.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, after Ji Chen crossed the bridge, he turned around and, without hesitation, swung the Immortal Sword in his hand, severing the wooden bridge right before everyone’s eyes.

Seeing such a scene, everyone frowned, their expressions growing solemn.

Clearly, the chasm was connected by the wooden bridge, and although their cultivation hadn’t been suppressed here, they had lost the ability to Controlling the Sky.

Now, with the bridge severed by Ji Chen’s sword, it was undoubtedly a troublesome matter for them.

Without the ability to fly, how could they cross this valley, several dozen or even nearly a hundred feet wide, to get to the other side?

This was the first thought that surfaced in everyone’s mind.

But Ji Chen didn’t care.

After severing the wooden bridge, he sheathed the Immortal Sword, turned around, and left without looking back.

"This is troublesome now..."

Until Ji Chen’s figure completely disappeared from sight, those trapped at the cliff’s edge couldn’t help but step to the edge of the cliff.

Looking down at the bottomless valley, they couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

"We must quickly find a way out; otherwise, if we delay too long, we fear we might all die of old age here!" a middle-aged man said, frowning.

In this mountain range, with the Forbidden Power upon them, the speed of life draining from their bodies was over a hundred times faster than in the outside world.

Originally, if they felt their lifespan was dwindling faster than expected, they could exit the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range at any time, but now, with the way back cut off, if they couldn’t find a solution, none of them would meet a good end!

...

As for the discussions here, Ji Chen was clearly unaware and uninterested.

At this moment, he had already left the old site of the Dao Yi Sword Sect.

Though this mountain entry was perilous, obtaining an Immortal Sword now was a significant gain, making the trip worthwhile.

As for the Immortal Scripture and Ancient Immortal Techniques, Ji Chen couldn’t care less.

Walking alone in the mountain forest, Ji Chen occasionally heard some roars, accompanied by bursts of energy fluctuations, echoing between the mountains and forests.

He knew it was likely the cultivators throughout the mountain encountering Demon Beast attacks, either fighting desperately or fleeing.

Having reached such a depth, it was no longer just the periphery of the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range.

In such a place, the Demon Beasts that appeared all had powerful Cultivation, and a solitary traveler without Great Emperor Realm strength would scarcely survive.

Ji Chen was an exception.

Even though he was still just at the Reincarnation Realm Third Layer, his combat power had long been comparable to a Great Emperor Level expert.

Moreover, having acquired an Immortal Sword meant at least in terms of self-preservation, there wasn’t much of a problem.

As long as he didn’t encounter those mighty beasts like the Immortal Demon Flood Dragon.

After all, they were entities even experts at the Harmonization Immortal Realm would have to flee from.

"It seems someone discovered the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb, just three hundred miles to the west!"

On occasion, Ji Chen received such news, which immediately caught his attention.

Who was the Undying Immortal Monarch?

He was one of the few top figures in the ancient and modern times of the Immortal Realm.

It is said he lived for nearly one hundred thousand years and fought throughout his life without ever losing, his legendary reputation resounding through the ages.

Many years later, the Undying Immortal Monarch reached his twilight years.

It’s said that in the last ten thousand years of his life, he visited numerous ancient Immortal Sects like the Purple Mansion and Turquoise Pool, borrowing Immortal Scripture to comprehend the Supreme Daoist Technique, aiming to step into the Heaven-Reaching Realm to achieve true immortality.

But sadly, even one as strong as the Undying Immortal Monarch did not succeed.

As he aged and his life force diminished, his era also came to an end, with a golden age passing along.

For countless years, people have been searching for the burial place of the Undying Immortal Monarch, and only two thousand years ago, a rumor suggested he possibly buried himself in the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range.

For two thousand years, countless have ventured into this perilous land, all to find the Immortal Treasure left by the Undying Immortal Monarch.

Thus, countless nameless skeletons have remained here forever, never to walk out alive.

Until recently, there was an intense disturbance in the Celestial Extinction Mountain Range, and investigations revealed that it seemed the Immortal Monarch’s Tomb was about to surface.
