Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 677: One Move

“What did they just say? The Heavenly Court Creed’s Creed Leader Yun is an immortal?” City Lord Liu doubted his hearing for the first time in his life.

In this era where half-immortals don’t appear, an immortal actually showed up?

Even in the battle at Hanshui City, Dou Heavenly Sovereign had shown up as just a wisp of immortal consciousness, not in true form.

Now that we’re in Chunjiang City, not only two half-immortals but an immortal has appeared?

The One-Qi Venerable Lord nodded steadily. “There’s no mistake. Only an immortal could have neutralized those moves so effortlessly.” Now that things had progressed to this point, he had abandoned any thought of a sneak attack.

When facing an immortal, no methods are effective.

Whether the people of Chunjiang City live or die depends entirely on the Heavenly Court Creed’s intention.

~~~

“I didn’t see that coming; to think the ancient Heavenly Court has two immortals.” The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord narrowed his eyes. Various ancient talismanic runes silently crept up his arms. “Fellow Daoist, if we join forces to defeat this person, our names will surely be passed down for millennia. What do you say?”

The Nightmare Supreme Lord showed no fear. This was a once-in-a-millennia opportunity to slay an immortal. If they used words as a delay tactic before launching a sneak attack, they had a chance of success. It was worth a try!

Slaying an immortal will grant us the greatest fortuitous opportunity in the Battle of the Great Era!

“Agreed.”

The two exchanged a glance and acted simultaneously.

Boom!

They attacked each other and then bolted for the outside world.

Both wanted the other to hold off Yun Zhi while they made their getaway.

When facing an immortal, there is no chance of victory!

Not the slightest bit!

Only by fleeing is there a sliver of hope.

The two tore open their respective worlds—one dissolved the Void Realm, while the other dissolved the dreamscape.

Both the Void Realm and the dreamscape were ripped open with gigantic gaps.

Just as half their bodies were outside, Yun Zhi suddenly clapped her hands.

The openings closed, and they were pulled back by a pair of invisible hands.

The vast disparity made them realize escape was impossible. Our only hope is to fight and gamble with everything we have!

“Man follows the earth, earth follows the heavens, the heavens follow the Dao, and the Dao follows nature!”[1]

The Void Emptiness Supreme Lord vanished, merging with the Void Realm. At this moment, he was the Void Realm, and the Void Realm was him! The Void Realm would make his wishes come true, including killing Yun Zhi.

This form was extremely dangerous; the slightest misstep could result in being devoured by the Void Realm, becoming its nourishment.

“The Dao is great, Heaven is great, Earth is great, and I am also great!”

The Nightmare Supreme Lord employed a similar method, merging with the dreamscape. While acquiring power, he also risked becoming a part of the dreamscape, never to wake again.

Two enormous faces appeared above Chunjiang City, roaring in unison.

“You forced our hands! You’re destined to have a fatal tribulation, and it shall come to pass today!”

They were the Void Realm and the dreamscape themselves. Every word they spoke was the will of the Void Realm and the dreamscape, imbued with karma. This was not a threat or intimidation, but a genuine karmic curse!

Spirit energy inexplicably became chaotic, forming vortexes that triggered a humongous spirit energy explosion. The odds of this spirit energy disaster occurring were one in hundreds of millions!

In the history of Great Qian, an entire city had perished in such a calamity.

Space warped and became turbulent flows. No physical object could remain intact within the spatial turbulence. The odds of this spatial turbulence occurring were one in thousands of millions!

Once, an Apex Transcendent Tribulation powerhouse lasted only three seconds in spatial turbulence before being shredded into mincemeat.

Phantoms from the past and present appeared: a huge army of a million troops, banners, corpses littering the fields... Time lost all meaning in this moment. The odds of this time travel event occurring were one in thousands of billions!

The descending army charged at Yun Zhi, their banners proclaiming them as Great Yu’s forces. The Nightmare Supreme Lord had slain Great Yu’s million-strong army in dreamscapes during the late Great Qian era.

Statistically improbable events occurred in succession, with the various adversities befalling Yun Zhi.

A massive shadow enveloped Yun Zhi. It was a range of undulating black mountains, entities created from the void. Their density and weight were incalculable, and the space around them displayed signs of collapsing.

Despite facing the misfortunes and black mountains, Yun Zhi remained unmoved. She sighed and extended her delicate hand, delivering a single hand chop.

It was utterly plain and unremarkable, the Great Dao in its simplest form.

The spirit energy disaster, the spatial distortion, the time travel, and the black mountains... All turned to nothingness, as if they had never appeared.

Heaven and earth were cleansed, bringing peace.

Two blood-curdling screams rang out. The Void Realm and the dreamscape were cleaved in two by Yun Zhi. Chunjiang City saw the light of day again, returning to the original world. Colors were restored, and the azure sky reappeared overhead.

The two merged supreme lords were severely wounded and were forced out of their merged states. Bisected, they fell to the ground, creating two large craters.

The One-Qi Venerable Lord swallowed hard.

One move. Just one move. And two archaic half-immortals were crushed.

Is this the power of an immortal?

Back in the original world, the two supreme lords were indignant about giving up. They made their lower halves transform into their appearance while their upper halves turned transparent, flying in different directions.

Right after they had only flown a few zhang, Yun Zhi slapped each of them back to the ground, and they couldn’t even get up.

They wanted to let their primordial soul leave their bodies. When the primordial soul was out of the body, it could travel a thousand li with a single thought, so fast that no one could catch up to it. This was their final life-preserving method. It was thanks to this move that they survived under the hands of the founding Yu Emperor and the founding Xia Emperor.

But as soon as their primordial souls flew two chi high, Yun Zhi pressed them back into their bodies.

“I didn’t expect it to be two half-immortals this time.”

Yun Zhi reattached their bodies, then grabbed the Void Emptiness Supreme Lord’s ankle with one hand and the Nightmare Supreme Lord’s ankle in the other before vanishing on the spot.

Before disappearing, she transmitted an auditory message to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

“After settling the aftermath in Chunjiang City, come find me on the hill thirty li east of the city.”

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou shuddered.

Although they believed they had acted courageously in the name of justice and performed many good deeds, being summoned by Yun Zhi like this somehow made them feel inexplicably guilty, as if they had done something bad in Chunjiang City.

~~~

“Things...things are fine now?”

“The Heavenly Court Creed Leader is gone?”

Seeing the three figures in the sky vanish, the civilians of Chunjiang City cheered and rejoiced. Having passed by the gates of hell and narrowly escaped death, surviving the ordeal was worth celebrating.

“Did the Heavenly Court Creed Leader save us?”

“Yes, it must have been her!”

“Strange, why can’t I remember what transpired during the battle just now? I clearly remember the fight between the two half-immortals.”

“Now that you mention it, it seems to be the case for me too.”

“Look at your memories. Good thing I recorded it earlier... Strange, why is there nothing on the paper?”

The oblivion trait spread through the city.

~~~

“Venerable Lord, do you remember Creed Leader Yun’s combat style?”

The One-Qi Venerable Lord shook his head. He sighed deeply, feeling an indescribable melancholy. “I can’t remember. It seems the legends are true. No wonder the ancient texts don’t record the details of immortal battles. It’s not because they didn’t want to, but that they simply couldn’t.”

“By the way, where did Ye Xiao go?” City Lord Liu recalled that they were supposed to escort Ye Xiao away.

“Don’t bother looking for him. He was caught in the crossfire of the two half-immortals and turned to ashes. The vice pavilion leader is still alive though. I’ll go find him.”

The One-Qi Venerable Lord stretched his back, thinking it was a good time to regain some confidence by dealing with the vice pavilion leader.

1. A more detailed interpretation of this would be: humans inhabit the earth, where they live, work, and reproduce; the earth gives birth to all things and nurtures them, depending on the whims of heaven, which include the weather and climate; the heavens have to comply with the Great Dao, resulting in various meteorological conditions; the Great Dao is in accordance with nature, where things take its natural course. ☜
