Chapter 2572: Chapter 124: Unraveling Cause and Effect, What Is Wusheng! (Part 2)
With a thunderous clash!
At this moment, what collided was the essence of spiritual sense, and the core of the spirit.
At this moment, Jiang Wang’s spirit stood amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Zhang Linchuan’s spirit fell into a world of ultimate desire.
The Dao principles intertwined, and the spiritual senses battled fiercely.
That Six Desires Bodhisattva merely waved a great hand and stepped out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, reappearing with golden splendor and boundless compassion.
However, Zhang Linchuan’s gaze did not waver in the slightest from beginning to end. He extended a pair of pale hands, virtually gripping either side, and tore it apart with all his might! The flowing light shattered, and the splendor turned into bubbles. The entire world of ultimate desire, together with the Six Desires Bodhisattva, was torn asunder!
The Soul Killing Method that once realized the means of the True God was hard-pressed to match the powerful spirit in Strong Divine Arrival.
The outcome was obvious.
Rumble!
Facing Heaven’s Gate slammed shut, cutting off Zhang Linchuan’s spiritual pursuit.
With his spiritual sense wounded, Jiang Wang had already withdrawn from the spiritual realm. At this critical juncture, he resolutely shook his longsword, and his ears immediately took on a jade hue.
Voice Broadcast Immortal Style, activate!
Observing Freedom Ear, activate!
Facing Zhang Linchuan directly, he looked into his eyes and shouted just one word— "Die!"
Conquering Outter Path Vajra Thunder Sound, activate!
But what opened wasn’t just these things?
Centered on Jiang Wang himself, the majestic spiritual sense erupted like a volcano, surging forth like a tidal wave. An intangible, colorless, soundless, and formless Spiritual Field had opened at this moment!
Within a thousand-foot radius, all sounds would bow to the only monarch.
This is the [Sound Hearing Realm]!
It is another Spiritual Field developed by Jiang Wang outside the Fire Realm.
It is also the core of another set of battle strategies he prepared for the Taixu Illusion Realm challenge.
He was well aware that terrifying opponents like Zhang Linchuan must have studied him very seriously.
Therefore, at these critical times of successive setbacks, the often-exhibited Fire Realm could not be relied upon. He had to come up with entirely new means to win himself a chance at survival.
Thus, the initial battle for the Sound Hearing Realm was laid out here.
At this moment, the lightning blade light pulled down by Zhang Linchuan, after slicing through the boundless sword silk, was still rumbling toward Jiang Wang.
But at this moment.
That rumbling sound suddenly gained a specific form and character, developing spirituality and unwillingness to merely attach, thereby generating malice.
This change was too sudden.
The sound pattern, like a quick knife, instantly cut apart the lightning blade light.
The thunderous sound cut through the lightning and even retaliated against Zhang Linchuan!
Zhang Linchuan remained unflustered in the face of danger, wiping his palm, bringing out the Rootless Divine Power, and severed all ties between the sound and people, then grasped and dispersed these sound pattern quick knives.
This response was extremely brilliant.
But he was well aware that a much bigger problem was already laid out in front of him at this moment.
Jiang Wang’s unprecedented Sound Hearing Realm could be described as a kingdom of sound, capable of controlling all sounds within the realm’s scope.
Even with his cultivation level and insight, it was difficult to find a way to contend for control over sound within a short time.
In the upcoming battle, he couldn’t speak or make a noise, and every move had to be silent. Yet, Jiang Wang’s actions could be as boisterous as he pleased. Not only did he have to watch out for Jiang Wang’s top-notch swordsmanship, but he also needed to beware of the pervasive sound offensives...
Even so.
With shackles on, he may not be incapable of killing Jiang Wang.
But it’s apparent that once the sound is controlled by Jiang Wang, he will surely make this life-or-death battle as magnificent as possible.
He cannot be seen, while Jiang Wang is inherently someone who stands in the bright light and can show off under the blazing sun.
Here, of course, is quite some distance from Sword Pavilion, Twilight Drum Academy, and even Yue Country.
But Jiang Wang’s every move was like beating drums and gongs, shaking the earth and sky, and over time he would definitely attract the attention of powerful figures.
Could he instantaneously kill Jiang Wang?
This question didn’t necessarily have an answer.
Zhang Linchuan made up his mind, said nothing, and leaped.
The surrounding space blurred, shimmering like a reflection on water, having already activated the Qian-Kun Cable. At this moment, when he was in an advantageous position, he chose to leave, retreating to the crevices of the world.
Killing Jiang Wang was of great importance, as having such a determined and extraordinarily talented, influential enemy would make it hard for anyone to rest easy.
But compared to his own safety, to his pursuit of the great Dao, this didn’t matter much.
When it came down to it, he had no love or hate for Jiang Wang, nor any obsession.
Just a mere stepping stone on the path to the Dao, nothing more.
But within the shimmering waves, suddenly, a crimson fire ignited.
The firelight danced along with the illusory ripples of space, scorching his divine power and blocking his path!
People really shouldn’t expose too much of themselves... Zhang Linchuan thought softly.
After displaying the Qian-Kun Rope a few times in front of others, a way to interfere with it had already been found.
Of course, he recognized Jiang Wang’s Samadhi True Fire.
The Samadhi True Fire would grow in might as one’s knowledge deepened, which he had long predicted.
From the wandering flames that encircled around, obstructing his path, he could fully sense how long Jiang Wang had researched him and how well he understood him!
No wonder he could guess his choice today and block his way.
He halted the Qian-Kun Rope, stopped the spatial ripples, turned his head back, and looked at Jiang Wang with a blank expression: "It seems you truly hate me."
He spoke with such indifference.
Allowing the sound to arise, allowing the sound to be controlled by Jiang Wang’s Sound Hearing Realm, allowing the sound to turn into knives, swords, and dagger spears, sharply cutting his Bone Holy Body.
And then extinguishing one by one.
At this moment, the Unborn Sect Founder truly wielded divine might as vast as the sea, instilling fear.
But facing such a Zhang Linchuan, Jiang Wang merely said calmly, "I think, in this world, no one understands you better than I do."
He did not say whether he hated Zhang Linchuan, but about his hatred, it was already described in great detail.
In the Sound Hearing Realm, all sounds converged, and his own voice was, of course, also a weapon.
Every word, every syllable launched an attack on Zhang Linchuan.
Admittedly, the Bone Holy Body’s defense was astonishing, admittedly in this level of battle, the Sound Murder Technique was not yet a fatal threat. But constant dripping wears away a stone. Moreover, every attack further supplemented his understanding of Zhang Linchuan.
He utilized everything that could be utilized to the fullest.
Always fighting everywhere.
Just like that, under the continuous attack of sound patterns, Zhang Linchuan began to walk back expressionlessly: "Jiang Junior Brother, perhaps you truly seek death with One Heart?"
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Echoing him was his own voice turned weapon, continuously clashing against him, producing an incredibly loud metallic ringing!
Jiang Wang’s life-and-death duel, it was almost as if he wanted everyone to know!
"I have long vowed to the heavens, under the bright moon and sun, you and I cannot coexist. Zhang Senior Brother, what do you say?"
Jiang Wang’s voice was so calm, and he carried his sword without retreating.
Even though in the previous battles he had already been at an absolute disadvantage, even though the words "battle death" were no longer just a possibility.
He still advanced towards Zhang Linchuan!
He needed to stall for time, but retreating was absolutely not an option. If he relaxed even a little, he had no doubt that in the next moment, Zhang Linchuan would disappear without a trace.
Today, there is no other choice, only to fight to the death.
The only thing he was sure of was —
He already understood a lot about Zhang Linchuan, and he could still understand him more.
If Zhang Linchuan cannot quickly kill him now, it will become increasingly difficult to quickly kill him!
Right now, he indeed found it difficult to defeat Zhang Linchuan, hope for life or death was slim. But time was on his side, heavenly light was with him, the momentum was added to him.
Just proceed like this.
Exchange injury for life, exchange life for an opportunity.
Exhaust every effort to exchange for a possibility that Zhang Linchuan will forever sleep!
With such enlightenment, Jiang Wang leapt forward, sword raised under the bright moon.
Sword Qi roared dozens of feet, sword sound resounded hundreds of miles!
At this moment, Zhang Linchuan could no longer hold back.
Jiang Wang understood, and he also understood very well.
If today he cannot quickly kill Jiang Wang, this trouble would cling to his bones until death!
Therefore, at this moment.
The white in his pupils infinitely magnified. This white drenched his eyes, even his bridge of nose, his face, his body, and then extended to the surrounding space, spreading throughout the whole sky and earth.
Of course, it also encompassed Jiang Wang’s Sound Hearing Realm, and Jiang Wang himself!
He already laid out the [World Without Life]!
This was the foundation of his Tao Path, his strongest means, his ultimate achievement.
With [Past Life] as the guide, with [Qian-Kun Rope] as the bridge, with [Rootless] as the wall, with Tao Path as the pillar supporting the sky, with true understanding of the world as the border of lifeless, with boundless power of faith as the fertile soil, with the spirits of numerous powerful figures he personally slew as nutrients...
Dao, Deity, and Man, converge here.
Bringing forth a Dao Fruit of unparalleled brilliance, unparalleled splendor.
Such is the World Without Life!
