Free Web NovelChapter 193: Chapter 190: Chaotic Battle
It was a scene that defied description.
The earth within a radius of several miles collapsed,
forming a terrifying, bottomless pit.
An unimaginable cataclysm had descended upon the mortal world!
It was as if a terrifying earth dragon had turned over in its sleep.
The ground shook and the mountains swayed.
Peaks crumbled.
The earth split asunder.
Giant boulders, soil, and even severed torrents of water cascaded down from above like waterfalls...
"What... what in the world is happening?!"
Shen Changchuan stared, stunned, at the sudden, monumental changes unfolding before him.
His pupils contracted to the size of pinpricks.
Not long after—almost immediately after the area where the Wu Family Collection was located inexplicably collapsed—
BOOM!!!
another deafening roar echoed out.
A milky-white pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky, seeming to connect heaven and earth!
In an instant,
the entire world seemed to be filled with a fresh, cleansing spiritual sensation!
That giant pillar of white light was Spiritual Qi!
An unimaginable amount of Spiritual Qi, gathered together, now erupted like a volcano suppressed for millennia. Countless motes of spiritual light battered the heavens and shook the cosmos!
The entire world trembled at that moment!
’What the hell? Could there be some treasure or a Secret Realm beneath the Wu Family Collection?’
Shen Changchuan struggled to steady himself, his eyes fixed on the scene ahead.
His brow furrowed tightly.
The sudden turn of events
had undoubtedly thrown his plans into complete disarray.
But before Shen Changchuan could decide on his next move,
the situation changed again!
From all corners, streaks of light shot into the air, speeding like lightning toward the pillar of light above the crater where the Wu Family Collection had been.
At the same time,
wave after wave of powerful, terrifying auras swept out, colliding and interweaving in every direction!
The True Cultivators of the Soul Emergence Realm had made their move!
One by one, the Soul Emergence Realm experts shamelessly unleashed their auras,
sweeping across the sky,
causing the very heavens and earth to tremble violently!
"Hiss! How can there be so many Soul Emergence experts?!"
"This... this is insane! There are over a dozen Soul Emergence masters hidden here? I doubt there are even that many in all of southern Qing City!"
"Many of them must be from out of town!"
"Why are there so many Soul Emergence experts here? Is there some great secret involved?"
"Then why are you here?"
"I just wanted to see if I could get some information out of the Wu Family..."
"For these hidden Soul Emergence Realm masters to reveal themselves and fight for it openly... that white pillar of light must contain a Heaven-defying opportunity!"
The large number of Qi Introduction Realm Cultivators, who had been hiding in the mountain forests outside the Wu Family Collection for various reasons,
were all horrified by the sudden appearance of more than a dozen Soul Emergence Realm experts.
Discussions broke out everywhere.
Some people’s eyes glinted with greed.
They figured that anything capable of making a dozen-plus Soul Emergence Realm experts, who had been hidden for so long, act without hesitation had to be a Heaven-defying Level opportunity!
’If I join in and snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, even if I only get scraps, it might be enough for me to be completely reborn and ascend to the heavens in a single step!’
Gritting their teeth, they immediately dashed toward the pillar of light.
Others, feeling the powerful pressure filling the sky, were terrified.
Fearing they’d be crushed like ants in the crossfire, they quickly turned and fled...
Still others stood their ground, hesitating, and spoke with those who had also revealed themselves nearby...
Everyone reacted differently.
It was only then,
that everyone discovered
that outside the Wu Family Collection,
hundreds of people had been hiding!
Many had been convinced that after nearly half a year of sealing their Mountain Gate, the Wu Family would definitely make a move under the cover of the endless mountain leeches of the rainy season...
so they had used various methods to hide in the mountains beforehand to watch and wait.
But they never expected
such a chaotic, large-scale scene to unfold!
Watching the figures that kept appearing all around, discussing amongst themselves, and seeing even more silhouettes dash toward the pillar of light like moths to a flame,
Shen Changchuan’s brow was tightly furrowed.
In such chaos, the difficulty of finding those few people had skyrocketed!
Moreover,
with over a dozen Soul Emergence masters fighting in the sky above...
the danger level had also skyrocketed!
’Sigh, all this scheming... I would have been better off just finishing them off when they first left the village...’
A trace of regret rose in Shen Changchuan’s heart.
He had been worried about leaving clues if he killed them, so he’d sought a foolproof plan to pin the blame on someone else. That’s why he had tailed them from behind without making a move.
He was waiting for Shen Chong to clash with them.
But he’d delayed and delayed, and now here they were at the Wu Family Collection...
Just when he had finally made up his mind,
ready to cut the Gordian knot,
the situation had devolved into something even more complex and dangerous...
’Indecisiveness is a Cultivator’s greatest enemy!’
’There is no perfect, flawless plan in this world. In the future, as long as the consequences are acceptable, I must be more decisive!’
’After all, the future doesn’t always develop in one’s favor. It can always get worse...’
Shen Changchuan had to reflect on his own actions.
He had aimed for perfection from the start,
but the longer he waited, the more complex and troublesome things became.
To the point that now,
he was caught in an even larger vortex.
This time,
it was a sharp blow to him, someone who had enjoyed smooth sailing for almost his entire life.
However, Shen Changchuan did not wallow in regret.
Making a mistake isn’t frightening.
As long as you know you were wrong and correct it, that’s what matters.
What’s truly frightening is not knowing you’re wrong, or knowing you’re wrong and refusing to change.
’No matter what, I have to finish them here today!’
’I absolutely cannot let them return alive!’
Shen Changchuan’s eyes were resolute.
Not only did his running speed not decrease in the slightest, it actually increased by a fair bit!
The trees on both sides became blurs, rapidly receding past his vision.
His speed was so great
that he even surpassed many of the Qi Introduction Ninth Layer Realm Cultivators who were also rushing toward the pillar of light at the Wu Family Collection,
which undoubtedly drew sidelong glances from those around him.
Some people’s expressions changed slightly.
’To be moving so fast, he must be quite an expert!’
Many people committed the appearance of the disguised Shen Changchuan to memory.
To this,
Shen Changchuan paid no mind at all.
As he advanced rapidly,
up ahead,
the figures of those few members of the Shen Family were already faintly visible in the distance!
A chilling killing intent rose in Shen Changchuan’s heart.
The Wu Family Collection, at this moment,
gave him a very bad feeling, a premonition of impending crisis...
’I need to kill them all as quickly as possible,’
’then get out of here immediately,’
’and leave this damned place!’
