The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries — Chapter 426

Chapter 426: Shi Jian First Plays the Death CG

Chu Feng couldn’t interfere with the high-level Sacrificial Dao battlefield. He simply stopped overthinking and dealt with the enemies he could handle on the local battlefront.

After several passes of observation, he noticed an old man who was very unusual. That old man had appeared in various parts of the battlefield. His strength didn’t seem very strong, but he simply couldn’t die, and his luck was Heaven-Defying.

A supreme expert attacked him, sword light pouring down. As a result, the Empress (from the Heavenly Court) just happened to kill the strange being holding the saber in that precise spot.

It was like this several times in a row. The old man, seeing his life in danger, felt like he was doomed, but he always managed to turn the tables and survive the chaos.

Chu Feng stared at him closely, catching him muttering something strange: “Fellow Daoist, please show mercy. Harmony is the most precious thing in all matters!”

This old man was jabbering, with no discernible combat power. He would utter these two sentences to anyone he faced—ally or enemy.

As a result, after these two sentences, no matter who he said them to, the outcome would inexplicably be decided instantly. A powerful strange being fell!

“Hiss… how ominous! What level of cosmic luck is this?” Even Chu Feng felt his scalp tingle with superstitious dread.

He saw an expert from the Ten Thousand Dharma Hall alliance entangled with an expert from the Strange Clan. Their strengths were evenly matched. It was difficult to determine a winner.

When that old man entered the battlefield and said, “Fellow Daoist, please show mercy. Harmony is the most precious thing in all matters.”

The two, who were originally still entangled, inexplicably had their outcome decided directly. The Ten Thousand Dharma Hall member’s strength surged, instantly cutting down the Strange Clan member.

“What in the Dao is going on?” Chu Feng was bewildered and confused.

However, both their battlefields indeed presented a thriving scene. The Strange Clan was retreating steadily. They were almost completely wiped out.

Seeing such a scene, the remaining Strange Ancestors’ expressions remained unchanged. They remained still, vigilantly waiting for Chu Tiandi (Chu Feng), who they believed could appear at any moment and complete the trio.

“Hmph!” Shi Jian roared, his whole body’s immense power surging. At this moment, with just his invincible Physical Body, he stirred up an ocean-like blood Qi, with surging waves crashing against the heavens, sweeping through ancient and modern times.

His ocean of blood Qi was comparable to the River of Time. His Aura was too profound, his blood Qi was extremely powerful, and behind him stood many figures—his Dao Bodies and Incarnations.

One after another, immensely powerful versions of himself stood in the human world, looking up at the Major Thousand Worlds and the boundless Universe. Everywhere was his blood Qi body.

Shi Jian’s black hair fluttered, his eyes like cold lightning, and his blood Qi washed toward the Strange Ancestor in front. His immense power was boundless and terrifying, completely suppressing the Ancestor.

The Strange Ancestor opposite him had a pale face, but he was not flustered. “You are destined to fail. You cannot kill us permanently. Even if we are severely weakened after this battle, we will just return to the Highland to recover for a period of time!” the Ancestor spoke smugly.

“Today, you are all destined to fall completely, without recovery!” Shi Jian’s gaze was intimidating, staring at all the Strange Ancestors.

“Useless struggle. Do you still have a chance at life? There is still one Chu Tiandi who hasn’t appeared, but do you think we haven’t guarded against him?” the other Strange Ancestors taunted.

“We revived early, adding you as a variable, but the strength of Arrogant and Ye is far less powerful than in the dream!”

“Arrogant’s Thunder Pool, Ye’s Cauldron… these ultimate weapons are not yet present!” they gloated. “Today, you are destined to lose!”

The Strange Ancestors recalled the future dream: Arrogant had a Thunder Pool, with billions of lightning bolts, controlling the lightning Heavenly Tribulation. It represented ultimate destruction and was Arrogant Heaven Emperor’s symbolic divine weapon. Ye’s great cauldron suppressed all Dao. Since these weapons were weak, the opponents were weak.

“So what? What is undefeated is the person, not anything else…” Shi Jian responded calmly, ignoring their taunts.

Fighting to this extent, he also had a premonition of a Breakthrough in the ethereal.

He recalled his past concerns. The Sacrificial Dao Realm did not require sacrificing all things, as one would for the ultimate leap Above the Sacrificial Dao.

It only required sacrificing—or rather, burning—one’s own established Dao. At the Sacrificial Dao-Grade, all Dao had been burned away in earlier years, making the resulting power stronger than Immortal Emperor and transcending above it.

However, this level did not surpass the Immortal Emperor Domain with unimaginable height; it was not considered Perfection. This Realm was like the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, stuck between Immortal King and Immortal Emperor. The Sacrificial Dao Realm was the same—far surpassing Immortal Emperor, but not enough to form a Realm of its own.

He only needed to burn the complete system he created—his personal Great Dao—and then go a step further, achieving the Sacrificial Dao Realm through his own method.

“Kill!” He unleashed his full power, burning the Dao principles within his body, displaying unparalleled offensive power.

The Nethergod Spear swept across, tearing through ancient and modern times, its destructive Aura crushing the Sea of Time. Nothing could stop it.

A Strange Ancestor tried to intercept him, but in an instant, this Strange Ancestor’s weapon was cut off. Black fragments flew back, embedding themselves in his body. Ominous blood splattered. The boundless Chaos was destroyed.

The Nethergod Spear’s divine light and immense power remained undiminished, piercing forward and impaling the Strange Ancestor’s true body!

Another Strange Ancestor attacked, also erupting with boundless ominous light. The ominous power was boiling, attempting to suppress Shi Jian.

However, Shi Jian, with his other hand, punched and forcefully shattered the Strange Ancestor’s arm.

Several Strange Ancestors immediately felt immense, unprecedented pressure. However, they were not disappointed. Instead, they were somewhat pleased.

Shi Jian’s sudden display of such terrifying combat power clearly indicated that he was undergoing an ultimate sublimation, fighting his final battle with the Great Dao—a sacrificial Breakthrough.

After this battle, he would surely fall. The Emperor would be broken, and the person injured! The other two Strange Ancestors attacked, enveloped in incomparable terrifying power, also assailing Shi Jian.

However, facing the now completely crazed Shi Jian, all four of them attacking together were still defeated and constantly on the defensive.

Blood was everywhere. Broken bones were everywhere. The ominous power continuously collapsed, and the Strange Ancestors were blown apart again and again. Even after they reassembled their bodies, they couldn’t withstand it.

Shi Jian fully unleashed the Hell Furnace, as well as the Sovereign Domain, and the Dasheng Ji (Great Holy Sacrifice). This was the invincible Qi Cultivation Technique form of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, which had evolved and sublimated to this point, its power immeasurable.

The Strange Ancestors exploded again and again as they re-condensed their bodies, turning into blood and bone, burning. They were being ground down.

Between heaven and earth, ominous blood rain fell, shocking all hearts. The true body of one Strange Ancestor was blown apart by Shi Jian.

The other three attacked, displaying unparalleled combat power. They completely erupted. The previous Ancestor sacrificed his true body to wear down Shi Jian’s Aura.

Shi Jian’s entire body was covered in cracks from the shock, and his body was on the verge of exploding. His flesh and blood were withered, almost fighting to the point of his Origin drying up.

From his debut to the present, he had never experienced such a tragic battle. At least, he had never reached the point where his Origin was completely dry.

However, he was not flustered. The opportunity for Breakthrough was right before his eyes. The Sacrificial Dao Realm was beckoning to him.

He was also close to Breaking through to the Sacrificial Dao Realm on his own. Now, he was only one final step away.

At most ten thousand years, he was confident he could Breakthrough. However, given the current situation, the Strange Clan would obviously not give him ten thousand years.

Then he could only rely on the characteristic he coveted: the concept of becoming stronger after death.

“Kill!” Behind Shi Jian, boundless blood Qi surged, as if carrying a buried great world. The long spear soared into the sky, dominating all heavens!

Ancient and modern times were all shattered, his figure was everywhere. Terrifying divine light shot into the sky. The Strange Ancestor at the very front was blasted apart by him.

The Ancestor slightly behind also exploded, his body disintegrated. However, the power of the three Strange Ancestors was too terrifying. Burning to the last.

Shi Jian only annihilated the true body of one Strange Ancestor… But, he himself also fell.

The phenomenon of his death—a violent, cosmic collapse—was reflected in all matters.

“Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor!”

On the distant battlefield, the living cried tears of joy and sorrow. Especially those from the Perfect Era.

Almost everyone in the Perfect Era belonged to the Ten Thousand Dharma Hall. For this era, Arrogant Heaven Emperor’s weight was not as great as Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor’s.

Arrogant Heaven Emperor could finally stand shoulder to shoulder with Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor. But before that, it was Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor who walked alone all the way.

The only one through all ages, looking down upon all opponents, rising within an unimaginable span of years, almost an invincible symbol in everyone’s hearts.

And now, such a person had actually fallen? Countless people were sad and frantic. They shouted with pounding hearts, roaring. Many shed blood and tears, unable to contain the endless sorrow in their hearts.

Then they erupted with full power to fight. Killing their enemies. For a time, the Strange Clan on the other two battlefields retreated steadily, almost completely wiped out.

But this was useless. What truly determined the direction of the battle was still the battle on the Sacrificial Dao side.

A sorrowful Aura permeated the entire field. Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor had fallen. Now, only Arrogant and Ye remained. How could they stop the Strange Clan?

Amidst the crimson blood and widespread desolation, Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor had fallen. All that met the eye was endless sorrow of mountains and rivers.

…

Except for a very few who knew the inside story, everyone else was very surprised.

“Didn’t they say he was the biggest variable? How did he fall…” Chu Feng was bewildered looking at such a scene.

Before, he was still grateful. Grateful that although he hadn’t grown up, there was an extra variable, Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor. To a certain extent, he could replace his position. Even surpass it.

This was someone even Arrogant and Ye respected. How could he fall? The woman from the Pollen Path was also bewildered. Could it be that they were destined to have no hope?

Ye Fan was also bewildered. Shi Jian just died like that? How could that be?

He had only been in contact with this person for a short time. However, he also knew this person was not simple. From his attitude, one could see that he had a kind of confidence in the Strange Highland—the confidence of certain victory.

When the Ten Strange Ancestors all appeared, he was startled. He hadn’t expected there to be so many Strange Ancestors on the Strange Highland.

But he noticed that Shi Hao and Shi Jian were not surprised. They seemed to have expected it. They seemed very familiar with the Highland. At their level, it was impossible to be so confident without reason.

But now, Shi Jian had fallen? This seemed a bit off?

Ye subconsciously paid attention to Arrogant’s situation. He saw that after Arrogant saw Shi Jian fall, his expression was calm, with no signs of sadness. However, the power in his body was continuously accumulating, with a feeling of wanting to unleash everything.

It seemed, he was also going to fight for his life? Arrogant making such a posture was no joke! Had Shi Jian really fallen, and stimulated Arrogant?

“He transforms into freedom, he transforms into eternity!” Arrogant Heaven Emperor roared, his black hair disheveled, his eyes flashing with cold lightning. He unleashed his He Transforms into Freedom method, his strongest ultimate technique, the foundation of his invincibility through ancient and modern times.

In an instant, his figure filled ancient and modern times. Ye’s guess was correct. He was indeed stimulated by Shi Jian’s sacrifice. He was preparing to fight for his life.

Because, if he didn’t fight for his life now, when Shi Jian revived, he would probably Breakthrough to the Sacrificial Dao Realm.

Once Shi Jian Broke through to the Sacrificial Dao Realm, he would probably be able to sweep through all the Strange Ancestors by himself. At that time, Shi Hao wouldn’t have anyone left to fight.

He was afraid of having his glory stolen! Therefore, he had to go all out immediately!

“This person truly lives up to his name as a variable. Backed by the Highland, he can kill two of our true bodies even while fighting four!” a voice came out, cold and chilling.

Indeed, the two Ancestors who had just been killed by Shi Jian reappeared. Walking step by step from the Highland.

Their revival ability was destroyed. Their true bodies were destroyed. Yet they still revived from the Highland. As long as their connection to the Highland was not severed, they could always revive.

In an instant, all heavens were silent. Everyone fell silent.

With all the Strange Ancestors appearing, it was already difficult to contend with. Only with Arrogant, Ye, and Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor together could they barely confront them.

Now, Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Emperor had fallen, exhausting all his strength to cut down the true bodies of two Strange Ancestors. He himself also fell. Yet these two Strange Ancestors revived?

This was a war with no hope in sight. In an instant, morale plummeted. The entire field was silent!
