Free Web NovelChapter 1487: Chapter 147 "Afterlife
Yu Beidou, suspended in mid-air, suffered an abdominal injury and shrank back, his eyes wide: "Are you insane?!"
Jiang Wang said nothing, drew his sword, turned, and thrust again.
This strike was even more precise and fierce.
As the cold light approached, Yu Beidou had no choice but to raise his hand to block.
But with this block, the constant crying and wailing that had been ringing in his ears suddenly fell silent.
The swirling blood aura instantly dissipated like smoke.
Upon looking again, forty-nine stone pillars reached the ceiling and connected to the ground, forming a circular formation.
Within the formation, Yu Beidou sat suspended in the air, one hand forming a seal, the other pointing a sword finger towards the ground.
One finger, two towns: the Blood Demon and the Diviner lay intertwined on the ground, each filled with resentment.
Jiang Wang himself stood not far from the Diviner, one hand propping on a staff, the other holding a sword.
"Do you believe it now?" Yu Beidou’s voice carried a smile: "I indeed used all my strength to reconnect with you in the Innate Chaos Array."
What had just occurred was an illusion, yet not entirely an illusion.
Because Yu Beidou had to allocate effort to connect with Jiang Wang through the Innate Chaos Array, the diviner always had control over the Sacrificial Blood Life-lock Array.
When Jiang Wang first entered the cavern, everything he saw and heard was the illusion created by the Diviner.
He himself was sealed by Yu Beidou, with his main strength directly countering Yu Beidou, yet he divided his mental force to use the Sacrificial Blood Life-lock Array as a new power source, forsaking the formation’s inherent effects, instead creating illusions to guide Jiang Wang to attack Yu Beidou.
Yu Beidou never relinquished the fight for control over the Sacrificial Blood Life-lock Array, making the diviner, though in control, unable to unleash the array to kill him. Later, he entered the illusion created by the diviner, confronting him within the illusionary realm.
But he couldn’t reveal the truth in front of Jiang Wang.
If he tried to indicate that it was all an illusion, he would be expelled from it.
Because it would contradict the foundation of the illusion’s existence.
So, from start to finish, he only ever gave one hint— freёweɓnovel.com
"Follow your heart."
Jiang Wang possessed the Red Heart Divine Power, not easily invaded by foreign intentions.
Evidently, the diviner was unaware, whereas Yu Beidou knew well.
In the absence of knowing the battle outcome within the Innate Chaos Array, he allocated effort to make contact, consequently losing control over the Sacrificial Blood Life-lock Array, seemingly a blunder.
Yet, after Jiang Wang succeeded in creating a legend, entering the cavern, and overcoming one layer of illusion...
This move proved to be the evidence of Yu Beidou surpassing the diviner in the path of divination.
After Jiang Wang stabbed at the diviner, the diviner pretended to deceive.
The response was an even fiercer strike, forcing the diviner to block, consequently losing control of the Sacrificial Blood Life-lock Array, which Yu Beidou truly abolished...
All of this is the current situation Jiang Wang feels.
His eyes, ears... all his senses are describing the truth to him.
The forty-nine stone pillars now were nothing more than stones, no longer peculiar.
The diviner stared intently at Jiang Wang: "How did you escape?"
In his eyes was a shimmering blood light, gradually taking the shape of the Eight Diagrams.
But in the next instant, it suddenly turned black, then changed from black to white, scattering into streaming light.
Yu Beidou’s voice murmured: "Good nephew, cease your struggle."
The diviner actually had no problem, required no answers, spoke only to distract Jiang Wang. Then using a blood divination, he was instantly suppressed by Yu Beidou.
Jiang Wang keenly perceived all this, marveling at Yu Beidou’s strength, also sensing the diviner’s desperate plight.
He did not pause.
Almost simultaneously as the blood light overflowed in the diviner’s eyes, he thrust his dragon-headed staff, springing out with speed.
Longing flashed cold and sharp, like a rainbow bridge spanning the sky.
Starting from Jiang Wang, falling upon the diviner.
This was a brilliant rainbow, the line describing life and death.
A genuine sharp edge, a sword renowned throughout the world!
Yet when the sword tip was nearing the diviner’s heavenly spirit, Jiang Wang suddenly felt something was wrong!
Thought led to action.
The longsword narrowly veered three inches to the right, striking the ground below.
"Why hesitate?" Yu Beidou’s voice came: "Why not quickly kill the Human Demon, or are you waiting for him to counterattack?"
Jiang Wang said nothing.
In his second Inner Mansion, the Astray Path Divine Skills, long sealed by Absolute String, perhaps due to time limit or distance... had quietly unsealed after the Masked Demon had fled for some time.
Under the illumination of Red Heart Divine Power,
The black and white Divine Power Light of the Astray Path flickered across the Five Mansions Sea, as if saying—
Astray has loomed!
At this moment, Jiang Wang chose to trust his divine skills over his senses. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
His spirit stirred, instantly invoking the Five Senses Hell to descend upon himself!
Blindfolded, ears covered, breath held, lips closed, skin and hair fixed, all senses sealed.
In the state of self-sealing the five senses, Jiang Wang entrusted everything to the Red Heart Divine Power.
The heavens have one day to illuminate the world, humans have one heart to self-illuminate!
The sword tip touched the ground once, and he bounced up, yet turned directly towards Yu Beidou in mid-air!
As the five senses reappeared, everything in sight seemed to freeze into a painting.
A painting layered a thousand times.
The scroll continuously unfolded, continuously fell.
Reality and illusion separated and interwove.
It was impossible to distinguish what was true and what was false.
Among these fragmented pieces of reality and illusion, Jiang Wang just kept moving forward.
Sword moved forward, man moved forward.
Crashing into all, slicing through all bonds between reality and illusion.
Then the sky became ground, Yu Beidou became the diviner.
His position, perception, target... everything before was erroneous!
Now his sword still pointed towards the opponent’s throat, and for the first time, astonishment appeared in the diviner’s eyes!
The untransmitted secret technique of Life Prediction "Next Life" had been shattered!
The scenario of breaking the illusion and aiding Yu Beidou to suppress the diviner before was actually under the diviner’s manipulation. His perception was real, but his experience was false.
It was simply a vision created by the diviner to probe Jiang Wang’s trump cards. Having discerned the Red Heart Divine Power, confirming Jiang Wang had no other means, he triggered the final motive.
Urging Jiang Wang to take action.
The Red Heart Divine Power indeed cannot be stained by foreign intentions, but Jiang Wang’s attack on the diviner was originally from his own heart.
Only what he saw wasn’t real, the diviner he attacked wasn’t really the diviner!
So in his unaware state, thinking he uncovered the truth, he attacked the diviner, yet still was led towards Yu Beidou.
However, amid the "coincidence," the Absolute String left by the Masked Demon uncloaked at this moment.
Jiang Wang’s Astray Path Divine Skills returned, timely alerting him.
Thus he withdrew the sword to retreat, decisively sealed the five senses, wielding Red Heart to steer Astray, with this decisive counterthrust!
In the battlefield between the diviner and Yu Beidou, all these "coincidences" were, of course, "premeditated."
There was no such thing as luck here; it was all a clash of divinations.
What truly confounded the diviner wasn’t that Yu Beidou made another step in the divination. Winning or losing a step in divination sometimes doesn’t affect the outcome.
What truly baffled him was Jiang Wang, who could respond so decisively, and had such confidence in himself to dare to seal his senses immediately, entrusting them to divine skills!
Confidence is a necessary quality for a strong person.
But in a battle entangled with a top-tier God Arrives, a True Man of the Age, and a Blood Demon, to believe in one’s judgment to such an extent was truly extraordinary!
For Jiang Wang.
On the streets of Linzi, Yu Beidou had once led him into a pedestrian’s future scene.
It’s not surprising that the diviner and Yu Beidou, coming from the same school, had similar methods.
Acknowledge the problem, face the problem, solve the problem.
It’s just that simple.
Even now, in retrospect, when Yu Beidou led him through that journey, it was perhaps a reminder for today’s scene!
Such divinations have already transcended mere terror.
Jiang Wang used the Red Heart to steer Astray, deeply understanding that all he saw and felt before had not happened, that now was the time for true occurrences!
Discarding all illusions, thus the sword descended.
He was real.
His sword was real.
Even the sensation at his sword edge was real—
Already pierced into the throat!

(Sorry everyone, I’m taking a leave. Perhaps I wrote too intensely in the past few months, I’m truly not in the right state this month, often dazed in front of the computer, sitting for half a day, unable to write more than a few words.
I originally wanted to take a direct leave to stop updates, but everyone says stopping updates is not good.
I apologize.
Starting tomorrow, there will only be one update at noon each day, for three consecutive days, resuming normal updates on the 26th.
I will recover my state as soon as possible.
You can also wait a few days to read.
Really sorry.)
