Chapter 291: Chapter 290: Jiang Li Makes a Move

Translator: 549690339

The onlookers quickly scattered around when they saw this situation, fearing they would be implicated.

Only Sister Wu Lian tightly held onto Yu Feng’s hand, vowing to stand with him in life and death.

Yu Feng calmly patted his sister’s hand, signaling her not to panic.

“Heavenly Monarch, if you kill me, I will reveal the cause of the nation’s decline to all mortals.”

“My puppets are scattered throughout the continent, and as soon as I die, they will spread the truth about the nation’s fortune, letting everyone know its secret.”

Yu Feng was blatantly threatening the Heavenly Monarch. He could imagine that when mortals learned the secret of the nation’s fortune, they would put themselves in the position of the people in the Celestial Dynasty, and then everyone would aim to become immortals.

What the Heavenly Monarch least wants to see is an increase in the number of cultivators.

The more cultivators, the higher the likelihood of another Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator appearing, which would threaten his rule.

“Then you just spread it, for every one you tell, I will kill one. I would rather not establish the Celestial Dynasty and kill you to vent my anger!” The Heavenly Monarch went mad. After reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he hadn’t been threatened by anyone.

This was the first time, and also the last time.

He wanted to kill one as a warning to others.

Yu Feng was stunned. The Heavenly Monarch’s reaction was completely different from what he had expected. He thought that the Heavenly Monarch, when threatened, could spare him.

Elder Jiang didn’t provide a script for what comes next.

“Elder Jiang, what should we do?”

“I am going to kill you today, and no one can stop me!”

The Heavenly Monarch had never been so angry. The entire Celestial Dynasty could feel his wrath.

Only death could quell the rage of a cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

“Is that so? I’d like to try.”

A calm voice came from behind Yu Feng. A blurry silhouette became increasingly clear, with an aura that was initially weak but became stronger, eventually reaching a height that the Heavenly Monarch couldn’t measure.

The man’s power and the Heavenly Monarch’s anger contrasted dramatically. It was upright, peaceful, warm, and boundless, making the entire continent tremble as if to celebrate the man’s crossing through time to appear in this world and save the human race.

“Who are you?!” The Heavenly Monarch thundered, his hand trembling slightly. How could such a terrifying cultivator exist? He had never heard of such a person in the Ancient World.

As a cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he was afraid… It was an immortal, absolutely an immortal!

The man smiled and placed his hand on Yu Feng’s shoulder: “I am Jiang Li, the one who protects him.”

“Elder Jiang?” For the first time, Yu Feng felt Jiang Li’s physical presence, “Aren’t you unable to directly intervene in our world?”

Jiang Li laughed: “Just now, the River of Time was finally unblocked.”

Jiang Li’s appearance also left Sister Wu Lian in shock.

“Can you defeat him? What realm are you in? Transcendance Tribulation Stage?”

It was only now that Yu Feng remembered that he didn’t know Jiang Li’s cultivation stage. He only knew that even cultivators at the Body Integration Realm were respectful to him, and those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage were his friends. By this calculation, Elder Jiang was probably also a cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Yu Feng boldly speculated that Jiang Li was a little stronger than the Heavenly Monarch.

“Mahayana Realm.”

Jiang Li said a word that no one had ever heard before, not even the Heavenly Monarch.

The Heavenly Monarch concluded that the man in front of him was bluffing, talking about the River of Time and the Mahayana Realm, words unheard of before.

The ladder to immortality disappeared, and he had lived for five thousand years, but he had never seen an immortal. How could it be so coincidental that an immortal appeared at this crucial moment?

“Pretending to be mysterious, die!” The Heavenly Monarch decisively made his move, aiming to catch Jiang Li off guard.

The Heavenly Monarch unleashed a pitch-black mountain. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy disappeared without a trace. The cultivators on the scene found that they couldn’t muster any spiritual power. Their spiritual power was locked within their bodies, unable to be called upon.

“This is the Primordial Magnetic Mountain!” The Arhat of Great Freedom recognized this treasure.

“Legend says that when this object appears, no cultivator can use spiritual power except its master.”

“Elder Jiang, be careful…”

Jiang Li kicked it away, sending both the Primordial Magnetic Mountain and the Heavenly Monarch flying with a look of disdain: “That’s all you got?”

“By the way, what were you trying to say just now?” Jiang Li turned his head and asked Yu Feng.

“Nothing.” Yu Feng closed his mouth.

“Who is this Elder Jiang?” Wu Lian whispered, giving Yu Feng’s waist a twist. Judging from their conversation, they must have known each other for quite some time, but he had never told her.

“Ouch ouch ouch.” Yu Feng pretended to grimace in pain, “This figure’s existence is a secret and has helped me a lot. Previously, he was blocked by the River of Time and couldn’t take action. But now that the River of Time is unblocked, he can finally act directly.”

Only then did Yu Feng understand that Elder Jiang had once asked him about the longest time he had lived, which was to calculate the time of his return to the world.

He understood Jiang Li’s plan, which was not to have him save the million mortals, but to delay until the moment when time returned to normal.

“You deserve to die!” The Heavenly Monarch was furious. Never before had he been as embarrassed as he was today. At the same time, he also understood the terrifying power of the man before him.

He needed to become stronger, strong like an immortal!

He spread out his arms, reversed the Defensive Array of the Nation into an Absorbing Array. Instantly, moans and cries filled the air.

Many of them had killed countless people, and today they finally met the same fate.

The Arhat of Great Freedom wrote the last stroke, and turned himself into the Heavenly Monarch’s nourishment.

“The first day of the New Year in the founding year of the Celestial Dynasty, and the downfall of the Celestial Dynasty.”

Five million cultivators were devoured by the Heavenly Monarch. The only ones left standing were the couple Yu Feng, protected by Jiang Li, and the million mortals.

Jiang Li didn’t care about those five million cultivators. He had been observing them with his divine sense for seven years, and none of them was innocent.

Every single cultivator’s hands were stained with the blood of mortals, and even those cultivators who claimed to protect the earthly realms were no exception.

Dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled. The Immortality Tribulation came suddenly and struck the Heavenly Monarch. The whole continent could feel it.

“After passing the Immortality Tribulation once, now I’m just like you, an immortal!” The Heavenly Monarch laughed confidently.

Before the Heavenly Monarch came into existence, other Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators had destroyed the records, so he didn’t even know that after the Tribulation, he should have transformed his body and absorbed immortal power.

He even thought he had become an immortal.

Jiang Li shook his head slightly: “This is the weakest Immortality Tribulation I’ve ever seen.”

He turned his head to Yu Feng and said, “Remember, you can’t pass such a weak Immortality Tribulation in the future, or you’ll lose face when you talk about it.”

Yu Feng nodded, somewhat confused.

“Big talk!” The Heavenly Monarch sneered, once again manipulating the Primordial Magnetic Mountain and swung it towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li repeated his previous move, is a kick again, shattering the Primordial Magnetic Mountain. Seeing this, the Heavenly Monarch hastily transformed the Absorbing Array back into the Defensive Array of the Nation, protecting only himself.

Energies cascaded and formed a barrier in front of the Heavenly Monarch.

The Heavenly Monarch was just about to take a breather when he saw that the energy barrier he had taken pride in was as frail as paper in front of Jiang Li; it broke with just a kick.

Jiang Li kicked his head into pieces with one kick.

The Heavenly Monarch’s ability of rebirth from a drop of blood instead became a source of torment. Every time he opened his eyes, he saw a giant foot descending and again his head was smashed to pieces. He couldn’t count how many times this process had repeated.

Finally, Jiang Li pulled the Heavenly Monarch’s soul out, smelted it, turned it into dust, and scattered it in the world.

All the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Monarch was also returned to the Ancient World.
