Chapter 229: Chapter 230: Giant Spirit Palace

The Giant Spirit Mountain Range stretched from east to west for hundreds of thousands of miles, splitting the Earth Palace in two.

Within the mountain range, great peaks stood like giants, soaring into the heavens as if they propped up the entire sky of the Earth Palace.

And on a central mountain peak, there was a large plaza.

Figures milled about in the plaza, and the air was filled with the clamor of discussion and laughter.

Most were Disciples from the Major Influences, with a smaller portion being Loose Cultivators!

They had all gathered here, waiting for the passage in Giant Spirit Mountain to open!

RUMBLE!

Just as the crowd was waiting anxiously, a blood-soaked figure shot across the sky from the distance at extreme speed.

"Help me!"

The terrified cry, like the tolling of a great bell, drowned out the crowd’s murmuring and cut off all conversation.

Instantly, everyone turned toward the sound.

They saw a figure completely covered in blood flying through the air.

Behind him was a black-clad youth wielding a Silver Battle Saber, radiating killing intent!

These two were none other than Blood Ghost and Feng Jue!

Kill!

Seeing Blood Ghost about to reach the mountain peak, Feng Jue slashed out horizontally. A chaotic saber light tore through the void, aimed straight at Blood Ghost.

"Senior Brothers, save me!"

Seeing this, Blood Ghost shouted in even greater terror toward the group from the Demon Abyss.

"It’s Blood Ghost!"

Recognizing the familiar voice, the Demon Abyss Disciples in the plaza all looked up. Their gazes, filled with fury, landed on Feng Jue. "Bastard! You’re courting death!"

With that, a Demon Abyss Disciple thrust out a hand. His five fingers spread wide, transforming into a massive, mountain-like palm that blotted out the sun as it slapped down.

BANG!

Feng Jue’s attack was violently shattered. The True Essence Palm’s momentum was unabated as it continued on, seeking to crush him.

Feng Jue gripped his saber hilt with both hands and slashed through the air. Countless streams of Saber Qi shot out, ascending like frenzied dragons against the heavens to completely shred the True Essence Palm.

BOOM!

The blast of energy sent Feng Jue flying over a hundred feet. He spat out a mouthful of blood, but his blood-red pupils never left Blood Ghost’s figure, burning with endless hatred.

HAHAHAHA!

Blood Ghost’s figure landed in the grand plaza. Having escaped with his life, he turned to look at Feng Jue and burst into laughter.

"You want revenge, don’t you? Come on, then!"

"Have you forgotten how I did away with your parents? Does your heart ache now? Don’t you just want to tear me to shreds!"

"But you still can’t kill me! Hahaha!"

"How can a mere ant like you possibly stand against my Demon Abyss... *cough, cough*!"

Blood Ghost laughed wildly, coughing up mouthfuls of blood as he did.

’Now that he was in Giant Spirit Mountain, who could possibly kill him?’

The people from the Demon Abyss would certainly not let Feng Jue go. This made Blood Ghost fearless, and he vented his feelings viciously.

In the sky, Feng Jue’s fingernails dug so deep into his palms that blood flowed freely. His blood-red pupils were completely engorged, making him look like a menacing Fierce Beast.

Blood Ghost’s words were like steel knives, stabbing repeatedly at his heart until he went numb with pain.

"You animal! I’ll kill you!"

Feng Jue roared ferociously and charged down, slashing again and again. He poured all his strength into his attacks, hoping only to erase his hated enemy from existence.

However, at that moment, four powerful Disciples from the Demon Abyss moved to Blood Ghost’s side. Countless rays of blood-red light erupted from their bodies, blocking Feng Jue’s attacks.

"Such audacity! You dare to touch a Disciple of my Demon Abyss!"

One of the Demon Abyss Disciples stared at Feng Jue and snorted coldly. He shot into the air, his five fingers curling into a terrifying blood claw that lunged toward Feng Jue.

"Get out of my way! He killed my parents. He dies today."

Utterly frenzied, Feng Jue hacked down with his saber.

"Hmph. Just a couple of ants. So what if he killed them? What can you do about it!"

Another Disciple from the Demon Abyss charged forward.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

At the same time, streaks of blood-red light shot over from the distance.

They were incredibly fast, crashing into the grand plaza in an instant and landing right next to Blood Ghost.

As the crowd’s eyes focused, they saw that the blood-red lights were actually human figures, each one drenched in blood.

Blood streamed from their bodies, and their eyes were wide open in death!

They were all Disciples of the Demon Abyss! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Seeing this, the pupils of the two Demon Abyss Disciples beside Blood Ghost constricted, and they grew exceptionally furious.

"Who is it?! Who dares to kill the Disciples of my Demon Abyss!"

The two roared in anger, their voices filled with killing intent!

"Hmph. So the Demon Abyss is allowed to kill others, but no one is allowed to kill you? I killed them, so what? What can you do about it!"

The moment their words fell, a cold, indifferent voice drifted over from the distance.

Help!

Accompanying it was another terrified voice, also coming from the distance, that gradually grew clearer in everyone’s ears.

But now, it wasn’t just one voice, but countless!

"Don’t kill me!"

"Spare me!"

Terrified pleas for mercy echoed endlessly as figures rushed toward the grand plaza from the distance.

They were in a wretched state, covered in blood. Many had been torn apart, with blood gushing from their wounds. It was as if they had encountered some world-shaking terror, and they scrambled and crawled their way into the crowd.

SHRRRIP!

Some who didn’t make it in time were torn asunder the moment they landed, as a blood-red saber light ripped through the void and split their bodies open.

This sudden turn of events made everyone in the plaza’s expression change drastically. ’Could some peerless, ruthless figure have appeared?’

"What’s going on?"

At once, several powerful figures within the crowd frowned and stepped forward.

These were the strongest Disciples, including Dii Qingxue, Mo Wentian, Yang Dingtian, and Wudao.

They sent their Divine Sense probing into the distance.

Blood Ghost knew who was coming and immediately yelled, "Fall back! Fall back!"

"Do you think you can retreat? Your life is mine to take!"

The cold, indifferent voice sounded again.

Immediately after, a plain, blood-red saber light stretched out from the distance, radiating an aura that seemed impossible to resist.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

In an instant, countless gazes in the grand plaza turned to look.

"Courting death!"

The two men beside Blood Ghost shot into the sky, preparing to counter the attack.

But the moment they got close, an overwhelming aura locked onto their bodies. The blood-red saber light passed right through them and continued toward Blood Ghost.

BOOM!

Blood Ghost reacted quickly and managed to save his life, but he was still sent flying by the blast.

The two in the sky, however, weren’t so lucky. Their bodies were sliced in half, and they fell from the void without even a scream.

’It’s him!’

Watching the Demon Abyss Disciples being killed in public, Chi Tian’s gaze turned cold, and he prepared to step forward.

But in that instant, a terrifying aura locked onto Chi Tian as well.

"Dii Qingxue!"

Chi Tian turned and saw Dii Qingxue watching him with an icy gaze.

"If you dare to move, I’ll kill you first."

Dii Qingxue’s glacial voice drilled into Chi Tian’s ears.

Chi Tian clenched his fists and turned to glance at Wudao, who was standing beside him.

Wudao showed no emotion and said flatly, "Stand down."

Hearing this, Chi Tian finally took a step back.

On the other side, the two Demon Abyss Disciples who were attacking Feng Jue also heard this and hastily retreated. One reached out, preparing to grab Blood Ghost and fall back to the Demon Abyss camp.

But a figure in white was even faster, stepping out of the void in a single stride.

He was holding a peerless beauty in his arms. With a single foot that descended from the sky like a mountain, he stomped down on Blood Ghost. KRAK! The sound of splintering bones rang out.

AARGH!

Blood Ghost let out a wretched scream as half his body was stomped into the ground.

"This time, do you still think I can’t kill you?"

The white-robed figure flicked his sleeves, then looked down at Blood Ghost under his foot and gave a cold smile.
