Chapter 558: Chapter 557: Falling in Realm, Here for Revenge

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan was finally one hundred percent certain that the man in green was dead.

It must be said, the immortals from the Upper Realm are indeed hard to kill.

Especially that man in green.

I used that broken bronze bell twice in succession, yet still couldn’t completely kill him.

In the end, I had no choice but to borrow power from my future self, only then could I truly kill him.

Now, I slowly felt the side effects of borrowing power from my future self beginning to show.

First, there were waves of weakness emanating from the depths of my Primordial Spirit.

And then, I discovered my cultivation unexpectedly beginning to decline.

I had previously reached the peak of Harmonization.

In just a moment, I fell back to the late stage of Harmonization.

After a while, my cultivation continued to drop.

From late Harmonization, it dropped to mid Harmonization.

Finally, when my cultivation fell to the early stage of Harmonization, the side effects from the future heart finally completely disappeared.

This had directly knocked me back to the pre-liberation stage!

Ji Haoyuan’s heart was filled with dread.

This was the greatest challenge he had encountered since his cultivation, and the closest he had come to death.

In the past.

Even when he encountered crises, there were always elders behind him to protect his path.

Within the same realm, he had never encountered an opponent before.

But today, when he faced a powerful enemy alone, an enemy he couldn’t possibly defeat, he truly realized that his strength was still far from enough.

At this moment, he examined himself and found that the matter had indeed stirred his heart deeply.

How long had it been since he experienced such a feeling of defeat and near death?

Most importantly, his cultivation had fallen by a full three or four minor realms.

This was something that had never happened before.

Ji Haoyuan stood quietly in place for a long time.

Then, using the present heart from the Three Heart Years Secret Manual, he once again examined himself.

Gradually, he discovered his Dao Heart seemed not yet complete.

Perhaps, because he truly lacked experiences of failure, causing his mindset to always be missing a piece.

Most importantly, he realized that the various methods he cultivated in the past seemed to have many problems.

This does not mean those methods themselves have issues.

In fact.

Many of the methods are classics from various sects, verified by countless predecessors, truly capable of pointing straight to the immortal path.

But, they all have a premise, which is that the foundation of those methods entirely adapts to the current great environment of heaven and earth.

Once the current environment of heaven and earth changes, those methods could become the greatest stumbling block itself.

In this light, his cultivation regression isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

He will have enough time to reevaluate his future path.

Using the various classics he currently possesses, he can innovate and create a method that truly suits and belongs to him at present.

Perhaps then it will be the moment he truly steps into Mahayana.

Thinking of this, the incomplete Dao Heart Ji Haoyuan once had finally became harmonious.

It seemed his whole being, inside and out, experienced a rebirth.

Standing there for several more days.

Ji Haoyuan then decided to leave the yellow giant star.

However, what he never expected was, shortly after leaving that yellow giant star.

Deep in the starry sky, a colossal hand suddenly pressed towards him rapidly.

Countless strange runes flickered on the giant hand.

The terrifying power was overwhelming.

Ji Haoyuan instantly realized that a Mahayana was striking against him.

Who could it be?

Anger surged within his heart.

Not long ago, he had just experienced a battle with an Upper Realm Immortal.

Now, he was encountering an attack from a Mahayana of this realm.

Ever since he entered that Celestial Tomb, there seemed to be countless invisible or tangible calamities around him.

Boom!

Where the giant hand passed, some small asteroids were obliterated and shattered along the way.

This was a premeditated assassination against him.

Ji Haoyuan’s eyes were cold.

No matter who it is, this matter will not just end like this.

Boom!

In an instant, an incomparably brilliant golden flame surged around him.

In the starry sky, a solid golden hand appeared above his head, striking against the descending giant hand.

Pure Yang Hand Seal.

This is the Divine Technique he comprehended from the Pure Yang Golden Body Technique.

It possessed unmatched terrifying power.

A deafening boom was heard.

Dazzling radiance swept across countless miles.

Numerous stars, meteors, and comets shattered along the way.

Yet, having fallen from the peak of the Harmonization realm, he was ultimately inferior in power to the giant hand.

The light of the Pure Yang Hand Seal quickly dimmed.

Finally, with a bang, it exploded into a mass of flames and vanished.

The giant hand descended again, intent on ending Ji Haoyuan.

"Break for me!"

Suddenly, a Five Thunders Golden Seal appeared above Ji Haoyuan’s head.

Terrifying thunder transformed into a five-colored Thunder Dragon, once again striking against the giant hand.

Simultaneously.

The Profound Celestial Treasure, Soul Annihilating Spear, appeared unnoticed in his palm.

The spear trembled gently, waiting for the best opportunity.

Boom!

The five-colored Thunder Dragon beneath the giant hand continuously emitted mournful cries, its massive body ruptured, exploding into streaks of thunder light.

It’s now!

Buzz!

Suddenly, an extremely deep trajectory streaked across the sky.

With a thunk, the giant hand nearing Ji Haoyuan’s head was penetrated by a black spear glow.

Then boom, the entire giant hand exploded like fireworks.

"Huh?"

At that moment, a faint sound echoed in the starry sky.

In the next moment, a vague silhouette appeared within Ji Haoyuan’s perception.

"You skulking coward, let me see who you really are!"

At this moment, Ji Haoyuan held nothing back.

He activated the Soul Annihilating Spear with full strength.

Buzzing!

The Soul Annihilating Spear emitted an intensely vibrant hum.

Deep in the starry sky, a shadow of a spear flickered.

Then came a muffled groan.

Ji Haoyuan instantly saw through to the opponent’s true form.

His eyes narrowed sharply.

"It’s you!"

Seeing his identity seemingly exposed.

The man simply stopped hiding.

He slowly stepped out from the darkness, soon revealing a somewhat dignified middle-aged man’s face. "Saint Monarch Fenglie!"

Ji Haoyuan’s mouth slowly uttered these words.

He recognized the opponent.

This is none other than the grandfather of Celestial Monarch Feng.

This was unexpected for him.

He originally thought the opponent might be a Mahayana from the Divine Ruins.

Yet unexpectedly...

As if seeing through Ji Haoyuan’s thoughts, the man known as Saint Monarch Fenglie spoke indifferently:

"I came here this time, not because of any enmity between my Moral Saint Sect and your Holy Land.

I sought you out not for anything else, simply for a personal vendetta, to seek revenge and come."
