Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 547: Chapter 70: Forceful Intervention

At this moment,

Inside the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven,

RUMBLE!!!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.

The prodigies from the various Outer Realms, who had just been cooperating to open this Secret Realm at the Xiangshan Sect Gate Ruins, had already descended into a chaotic free-for-all.

Within a short period of time,

these Outer Realm prodigies had already split into different factions.

The various small groups,

through a tacit understanding, first ganged up to crush and severely wound the weaker, solo competitors, knocking them out of the running.

Before long,

after the other individual Outer Realm prodigies—or rather, the lone wolves who lacked sufficient strength—were jointly cleared out,

an even more brutal civil war erupted between the smaller factions.

Barrages of incomparably powerful attacks crisscrossed and collided, their violent, roaring impacts shaking the heavens and the earth!

The sky and the earth

were consumed by a kaleidoscope of spiritual light.

Raging torrents of air and storms of energy turned into tsunami-like shockwaves, sweeping through every corner of the world!

At this moment, the entire world trembled violently under the pressure of this terrifying battle!

”Nangong Yunfan, with the current strength of your Nangong Clan, you’re not qualified to fight for the base of this Enlightenment Stone!”

”You’d be better off helping me. With our combined strength, we can seize that base by force. When the time comes, I wouldn’t mind letting you come over to the Bai Family’s side and cultivate on it for a while!”

On the chaotic battlefield, Bai Yusheng spoke with a grave voice to Prince Nangong, Nangong Yunfan, who stood before him.

At the same time,

his hands did not slow in the slightest. With a wave of his feather fan,

it was as if an earth-shattering tsunami instantly swept across the world, rolling forward with the force to topple mountains and overturn seas as it crushed the void ahead.

The sheer, majestic force of the attack nearly pulverized the vacuum itself.

This aura,

had actually reached the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Realm!

”So you’ve already advanced to the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer. No wonder you’re so confident!”

”But, hmph, do you really think you’re the only one who’s improved during this time?!”

Across from him, Prince Nangong, Nangong Yunfan, let out a cold snort.

The aura of the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer also erupted from him like a volcano, causing the surrounding void to roil with torrents of energy and stirring up massive, tsunami-like shockwaves!

A confrontation between two Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Cultivators,

especially two from the new generation, drew the attention of many onlookers.

Some felt their pupils shrink,

completely stunned that these two, who had always kept a low profile, possessed such strength!

The Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Realm, even within a sect like the Yuqing Immortal Sect,

would definitely be considered a first-class existence among the Immortal Sect Inner Sect Disciples!

’These two,’

’will definitely be our greatest rivals!’

”Whether I’m qualified or not isn’t for you, Bai Yusheng, to decide!”

”You dare attack the disciples of my Nangong Clan? That’s a blatant disregard for my, Nangong Yunfan’s, honor! Even if I kill you here and now, your Bai Family ancestors will have nothing to say!”

Ignoring the gazes from all around,

Nangong Yunfan sneered, completely unshaken by Bai Yusheng’s words.

With a beckoning motion of his hand,

CRACKLE!

Suddenly,

a blue longsword, crackling with arcs of electricity, appeared in Nangong Yunfan’s hand.

The moment the longsword appeared, the faint sound of resonating thunder seemed to echo from the nine heavens above!

It was as if the Thunder Longsword possessed a spirit,

influencing the very phenomena of the sky!

Without the slightest hesitation,

Nangong Yunfan swung the Thunder Longsword. A razor-sharp aura, powerful enough to make even the void tremble, erupted from the blade.

In an instant,

BOOM!!!

Accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder,

a beam of sword light pierced through the void, slicing the space ahead like a piece of cloth,

and slashed directly toward the tsunami-like torrent that Bai Yusheng had conjured.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

A series of earth-shattering explosions erupted. A storm of annihilating energy swept across the land, and the ruins of a palace beneath them were instantly reduced to dust, vanishing without a trace. All that remained was a massive crater, a hundred zhang wide!

The collision of two attacks at the Soul Emergence Realm Ninth Layer,

was truly world-shaking!

”Hunting down a disciple of your clan? You mean Nangong Cheng? Heh, weren’t you the one who deliberately leaked his whereabouts to me?”

”Turning on your own kin... a fine Prince Nangong you are. Good thing I kept the evidence from back then!”

”I’d love to see how you’ll explain yourself to the Nangong Clan once this news gets out!”

Faced with the fact that Nangong Yunfan had not only advanced to the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer but had also blocked his killing move unscathed,

Bai Yusheng’s face showed a hint of shock.

’This guy...’

’He’s so good at hiding his strength.’

’He advanced to the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer, and not a single word about it reached the outside world.’

’He’s a major threat!’

”Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself!”

BOOM!

Nangong Yunfan, longsword in hand, shot forward like a bolt of lightning, charging straight at Bai Yusheng!

Behind him,

the geniuses of the Nangong Clan gathered around him, along with the prodigies of other powers, also launched their attacks.

Bai Yusheng did not retreat either.

He led the crowd of followers behind him to meet the charge head-on.

In an instant,

the great battle erupted once more!

And this

was just one small scene on the battlefield within the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven.

In other places,

great battles were also raging.

Figures turned into crisscrossing streaks of light, and powerful magic wove through the void, colliding and producing terrifying explosions.

The continuous fighting

caused the entire world to tremble!

And the cause of all this

was a Jade Platform at the bottom of the valley, covered and enveloped by a dense, dilapidated array!

That Jade Platform

was once the pedestal where the Enlightenment Stone was placed in this Enlightenment Grotto Heaven!

After being infused for an unknown number of years,

that Jade Platform

had also become imbued with some of the aura and power of the Enlightenment Stone!

Just being a dozen or so zhang away

was enough to make everyone present feel their senses sharpen and their minds clear, giving them a vague sense of a deeper understanding of their past cultivation!

’Such a Divine Object,’

’would probably be of some help even when we break through to the Divine Travel Realm!’

And so,

with almost no hesitation,

all sides had furiously tried to seize the Jade Platform.

Which in turn evolved into the current great battle!

However,

while the various factions fought,

everyone kept the Jade Platform at the very center in their peripheral vision.

If anyone dared to secretly make a move,

they would immediately suffer a combined attack from all the others!

As a result,

the prodigies from all sides found themselves in a stalemate!

”We can’t let this go on! The longer this drags on, the more riff-raff and opportunists will gather. Our chances of seizing this Jade Platform will only get smaller and smaller!”

Chen Lingfeng’s expression was grave.

As a renowned expert at the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Peak, he was currently besieged by more than a dozen Outer Realm prodigies. Pinned down, he had no choice but to send a voice transmission to Bai Yusheng.

”What do you propose?”

”We are allies. Cover me! I’ll seize the Jade Platform first, and we can divide the spoils after the battle!”
