Chapter 415: Chapter 127: The Fall of True Man Changchun

"True Monarch, save me!"

The frantic Blood Pupil Demon hastily shouted in response.

"Blood Pupil, in principle, it’s not appropriate for me to intervene in matters of the Human Realm... but, just this once..."

Upon hearing this voice, Blood Pupil Demon finally smiled.

Above the nine heavens, the Celestial Sect opened wide.

The sun in the sky seemed to dim significantly at this moment.

Demon Monarch Huiyue intervened!

A crimson hand, like a mountain, reached out from the Spirit Realm.

It pressed down towards the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array.

Within an instant, the aura of the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array dissipated by seventy to eighty percent.

Celestial Thunder weakened, fierce winds dispersed...

"Just this once..."

The great hand vanished in an instant, leaving only its voice swirling through the heavens and earth.

Witnessing this, Blood Pupil Demon couldn’t help but throw his head back in laughter.

"Hahaha..."

Having laughed, he looked towards True Man Changchun and smugly shouted:

"Nephew Changchun, you’ve lost..."

"What good is luck and calculation when faced with the great currents of this world... utterly vulnerable!"

The Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array, planned for a century.

Under the mighty power of the True Monarch of Divinity Transformation, it was nearly obliterated in an instant.

But after all, separated by countless spaces.

After all, the True Monarch of Divinity Transformation’s perception of the mental realm would be greatly weakened in the Human Realm.

Therefore, the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array was not entirely extinguished.

Yet even so, the remaining one or two-tenths of the array’s power no longer threatened Nascent Soul True Men.

...

"Alive, survived!"

Zheng Tianhe, in utter disarray, raised his head to the sky, finally unable to resist a hearty laugh.

At this moment, the dignified helm of Guangyuan Commerce Association was already in tatters, his True Essence chaotic and heavily injured.

In this battle, he paid an enormous price.

But in the end, he survived...

Meanwhile, True Man Wenshu also looked disheveled, the esteemed Vice Dean of the Academy, now resembling a madman.

He looked up at the sky, eyes filled with lingering fear.

Then looked down at the scroll in his hand, unable to quell his inner unease.

This scroll was his Lifebound Magical Treasure, refined with painstaking dedication.

But the entire scroll had been mostly torn apart within the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array.

Only a thin few pages remained, requiring at least a century of cultivation to restore...

"After this battle, after this battle... I must grow old gracefully and read a hundred books..."

True Man Wenshu silently thought.

A grand battle, a century of planning.

The three Nascent Soul True Men of the Demon Sect survived.

On the other hand, the Changchun Sect’s side.

Three hundred disciples stationed at the Sect, now only a scant dozen remained.

Sect Leader Wang Changchun’s aura was nearly severed, lying on the ground, eyes filled with reluctance gazing at the sky.

"Damn the heavens!"

He mouthed a silent scream, a mix of helplessness, pain, and utter unwillingness...

At the same time, the spirituality within the Celestial Pill Nascent Soul also gradually dissipated.

The Nascent Soul dimmed, virtually on the verge of passing into oblivion.

Looking at True Man Wenlu in the distance, Celestial Pill felt the reluctance in his heart, heaved a long sigh, and said:

"Taoist Friend Changchun, I’ve let you down..."

As these words fell, True Man Tiandan’s aura rapidly dispersed, the ethereal Nascent Soul vanished.

The Golden Core transformed into a stream of light and fled into the distance.

Within this pill, though True Man Tiandan’s consciousness had dissipated, a touch of spirituality remained.

This Supreme Pill naturally did not wish to be consumed, thus escaping the battlefield on its own.

Observing this, True Man Wenlu’s eyes instantly reddened, he and Zheng Changchun exchanged glances, their minds bearing the same thought.

In a flash, the two no longer lingered within the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array, rushing towards the direction where the Celestial Pill fled.

Although the power of the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array had greatly diminished, Blood Pupil Demon was indeed in bad condition at this moment.

He looked at True Man Changchun, who was left with only a final breath, and presumed he wouldn’t survive past ten breaths.

"Nephew Changchun, why come to this?"

"We cultivators tread the path of cultivation, is it not for eternal life?"

"Why contend against the mundane sentiment, against the great currents of the world, why contend against eternal life?"

Blood Pupil Demon’s expression was tragic, but his heart harbored a secret joy.

On the contrary, True Man Changchun still tightly fixed his gaze on Blood Pupil Demon.

His breath faltered like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to disperse at any moment...

However, did the Changchun Sect truly lose?

A century of planning, did it really vanish in one blow from the True Monarch of Divinity Transformation?

True Man Changchun took one last look at the Celestial Sect, he could feel his life rapidly fading.

But in the next second, True Man Changchun suddenly smiled.

He murmured, "For this moment, I have waited a hundred years..."

Saying so, True Man Changchun’s voice abruptly amplified.

"Since I have done so much, it is for the clarity and unburdened joy within my heart!"

"Even if I die, behind me are thousands of cultivators... to follow this path!"

Yes, True Man Changchun’s act was to strike against the impossible with the lesser.

He knew the odds were slim, yet did it regardless.

It was to set an intention for the righteous path of the world.

For the next hundred or thousand years, there will be countless cultivators like him, resisting the Demon Path!

If he dared not to do so, then what of the future?

The Demon Sect wouldn’t just flourish for one hundred and forty-two years...

Moreover, did the Changchun Sect really lose?

True Man Changchun laughed, his voice small, yet it resonated through the skies.

"Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array, seven types of killing intent..."

"Blood Pupil Demon, did you overlook the final one?"

Upon hearing these words, Blood Pupil Demon’s pupils shrank drastically.

Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array!

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder!

Celestial Thunder, fierce wind, vines, sea of fire, falling rain, earth cracking...

It seems there are only seven kinds?

Then... what is the final one?

As True Man Changchun’s voice fell, suddenly a quake shook the earth and mountains.

Subsequently, Changchun Mountain, nearly ten thousand meters high, unexpectedly toppled and collapsed at this moment!

What followed was the earth’s vein energy!

It was an incomparable golden light that appeared...

"The final one, the Vast Sword!"

True Man Changchun shouted in anger.

This golden light emerged from the mountain itself, transforming into a golden giant sword at this moment.

All the killing intent of the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array was integrated within it, slashing toward the Blood Pupil Old Demon.

A hundred years ago...

Changchun Mountain was less than seven thousand meters.

Yet in just a hundred years, Changchun Mountain grew by three thousand meters, or a thousand zhang!

Because True Man Changchun had already set up the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array long ago.

The final golden killing intent was the thousand zhang mountain body, transformed into the Vast Sword, slashing toward the Blood Pupil Old Demon.

At the instant the giant sword was unleashed... the entire world changed color!

Innumerable distances away, above the Spirit Realm.

Several figures were watching this scene...

"No, not good... Changchun still held something back!"

Demon Monarch Huiyue’s heart was shaken, and he forcibly urged his cultivation again.

Attempting to interfere from the Spirit Realm to the Human Realm!

"It’s too late..." Beside him, another man with an unfathomable aura watched this scene, feeling some regret in his heart.

"Even I couldn’t stop this sword in such a short time..."

"After this battle, find a new leader for the Demon Sect..."

This unknown Returning Void Ascendant seemed to have also pronounced the death sentence of the Blood Pupil Old Demon.

Cultivating a Nascent Soul Perfection, the vast Nether Realm, expended endless resources.

But to a Returning Void Ascendant, waiting another few decades was nothing.

In his long life, decades were merely a moment’s flicker...

...

At the critical juncture, the Blood Pupil Old Demon looked at the terrifying golden killing intent.

He watched the ever-growing golden giant sword and erupted with an incomparable instinct to survive.

"No, I cannot die..."

"I must, live on!"

The Blood Pupil Old Demon’s entire face twisted in ferocity, he frantically fled into the distance.

In just the blink of an eye, he flew thousands of zhang away.

But the golden giant sword still slashed down...

Seeing the Vast Sword descending, True Man Changchun smiled.

The smile was full of relief...

If he did not survive to the next breath, for True Man Changchun, this would be the best ending.

But...

True Man Changchun saw it.

He saw under the golden giant sword, the dazed and terrified True Man Wenlu.

"How could this be... when did it happen?"

True Man Wenlu’s eyes widened, looking at the golden giant sword up close, only horror in his eyes.

At the same time, the Blood Pupil Old Demon appeared ten thousand zhang away, at the original position of True Man Wenlu.

He blankly watched this scene, seeing True Man Wenlu’s flesh body being slashed, feeling somewhat bewildered in his heart.

Returning to one breath before...

As True Man Wenlu and Zheng Tianhe fought over the Tiandan, an invisible spatial fluctuation enveloped the two.

Zheng Tianhe’s heart skipped a beat, taking out a broken strawman from his storage bag.

"The Substitute Death Strawman failed..."

"Did I just die once?"

Zheng Tianhe looked towards True Man Wenlu.

And at this moment, True Man Wenlu was not so lucky.

His figure directly disappeared from the original place, replaced by the Blood Pupil Old Demon.

Thus, the scene of True Man Wenlu being slashed by the golden giant sword occurred.

...

At the same time, in the Spirit Realm.

A figure slowly stepped into the mysterious space, with a demonic appearance, dressed in silver, and wearing a peculiar crown-like ornament.

Upon seeing this demonic man, Demon Monarch Huiyue lowered his head in submission.

And the other Returning Void Ascendant also paused for a moment, hurriedly saluting.

"Esteemed one..."

The demonic man only nodded slightly, glanced at the illusory screen before him, and saw the situation in Qing State.

"Just a passing by, did something along the way..."

"Such a small issue, can’t you handle it?"

The demonic man’s tone was calm, as if the grand situation of Qing State was merely a trivial matter to him.

He shook his head and walked out of the mysterious space.

Once the demonic man left, Demon Monarch Huiyue and the mysterious ascendant exchanged a glance and no longer paid attention.

The demonic man who intervened just now was an Integrated Celestial Being...

Passing by might indeed have been just a coincidence, as Integrated Great Powers typically do not concern themselves with matters of the Human Realm.

"Having done so much, let’s help as much as possible..."

"If this Blood Pupil Old Demon still fails, then it can only be blamed on his weakness, and by then, we truly ought to replace him..."

The Returning Void Celestial Being shook his head and also left this space.

Only Demon Monarch Huiyue remained, quietly watching the light screen.

In the Human Realm, in Qing State.

The Blood Pupil Old Demon survived.

True Man Changchun slightly raised his arm, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Ultimately, it was a failure after all..."

...

And at the same time, dozens of miles away.

Lin Chen looked up at the Celestial Sect, murmuring:

"The attention from above has lessened significantly..."

"Only one step away, it’s time... the Grandmaster cannot have died in vain!"
