Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Nianfan looked at the sky and said to Daji and Fire Phoenix with a serious expression, “Tell me the truth, will Nanan and the others be able to stop this calamity?”

Fire Phoenix shook her head, sighing before she said, “They won’t be able to…”

Daji hesitated for a moment before saying, “It looks like Fire Phoenix and I will have to act this time.”

“What are you waiting for then? Hurry up and head over,” Li Nianfan immediately said. It was not just the Heavenly Palace he was friendly with. Nanan and Dragin were both regarded as little sisters by Li Nianfan. There was no way Li Nianfan would just let them place themselves in danger.

Fire Phoenix could not help but say, “But, if we leave, then your safety…”

!!

“There’s no need to bother with me at this time. I won’t be on the battlefield, so how would I be in danger? You should hurry over,” Li Nianfan waved it off as he urged.

For one thing, if the Heavenly Palace failed and a calamity befell, Li Nianfan did not feel like he could live a life of isolation, even if Fire Phoenix and Daji were with him. It was better if he helped out at that moment. There was a chance he could help avoid the calamity.

“That…” Fire Phoenix and Daji exchanged a wry look.

Even if this place was not a prominent battlefield, it was the most important place in the war. Li Nianfan’s place was the most dangerous. They could not allow any accidents to happen.

However, since Li Nianfan already gave the order, they said, “Then we’ll depart. Please remember to take care of yourself.”

“Don’t worry, I will.”

Li Nianfan smiled as he looked at Daji and Fire Phoenix preparing themselves to leave. He had a sudden notion, and could not stop himself from saying, “Hold on.”

He looked at both of them with a complicated expression, suddenly showing an endless look of worry and reluctance.

After parting on that day, he did not know what the future would hold.

Since it was a calamity for the whole cultivation world, the levels were horrifying beyond comprehension. What about Daji and Fire Phoenix’s safety? Thinking about that, Li Nianfan even felt some fear in his heart.

Why not have Daji and Fire Phoenix hide with him? It might end up saving them. Surely this would not lead to the end of the whole world?

He suddenly thought that in his head, but he quickly discarded the notion.

Li Nianfan said lightly, “You have to be careful!”

“Yes, you have to take care of yourself too,” Daji and Fire Phoenix looked at Li Nianfan meaningfully before the two of them turned and flew into the air.

Li Nianfan stood in his courtyard, looking on as their figures disappeared into the distance.

After a while, Xiao Bai carried a pitcher of wine over, “Master, please have a drink.”

“There’s no need, “Li Nianfan waved it off before looking for somewhere to sit down. He looked quite distracted.

People loved to say that alcohol helped to relieve any worries, but at that moment, Li Nianfan did not feel like drinking anything at all. He did not want to use alcohol to avoid reality. He was in no mood to have a drink at all.

Li Nianfan asked lightly, “Xiao Bai, do you think this calamity will be suppressed?”

Xiao Bai’s eyes glinted as it said mechanically, “It definitely will.”

…

Among the volcanoes, space was already distorted beyond recognition. The world could not bear Madman Chu’s power, causing time and space itself to go into disarray. There were countless cracks in space. The power that oozed out caused all of the cultivators to take a step back, and their spirits crushed.

“H-how could he be so strong?!”

“Can this even be called a supreme being? Is there another realm above a supreme being?”

“This is too horrifying! How can we possibly beat an opponent like that?”

“Where is Wisdom? Only Wisdom can suppress someone like this. Will this herald a new era?”

…

Everyone was incredibly unsettled. They no longer dared to even attack Madman Chu, because it was no longer a battle at the same level.

“Hahaha, who else dared to fight me?!”

Suddenly, a shout could be heard in the skies.

Yang Jian’s body turned golden as his power filled the air. A massive divine figure emerged as he struck at Madman Chu!

That attack left him no room for retreat.

Facing Madman Chu, who was countless times stronger than him, he refused to leave himself any way to retreat.

“Very good, Yang Jian, you’re stealing my thunder!” Another maniacal laugh was heard as a divine sword broke through the skies. Xiao Chengfeng headed right toward Madman Chu on his sword.

“With my body, I’ll turn into the strongest blade. Hahaha, the heavens gave birth to me so I could advance the way of the sword!”

His whole being turned into a sword, and he shone in a cold light. He abandoned everything else to strike at Madman Chu as well.

“Fight!”

Nanan let out a shout. She showed no hint of fear on her face. The battle intent in her eyes was high as the Fallen God Bow looked like it was about to be pulled in two by her. She shot another arrow at Madman Chu.

“Ugh!”

Shi Tuqin spat out a mouthful of blood. The red blood flowed in front of her, moving with her brush.

She used blood as ink, drawing at Madman Chu!

Every stroke seemed to use all the power in her body. It seemed incredibly difficult, and her life force rapidly depleted.

Upon closer inspection, she drew Madman Chu himself. She wanted to draw out Madman Chu’s death!

Twang twang twang!

Qin Manyun shut her eyes as she frantically played.

Her fingers were already stained in blood, causing the strings to turn red, but she did not care.

Blackie, Dragin, Little Fox, Cultivator Junjun…

All of them charged at Madman Chu.

They knew that nothing would work on Madman Chu, so this time, they decided to throw all caution to the wind. They decided to burn their very life forces for power, activating powers that exceeded their realms!

“Kill!”

The Heavenly Army got over their fear of Madman Chu as they charged behind Yang Jian and Xiao Chengfeng, condensing immense power.

The buddhists, hell and all the other forces to followed Li Nianfan quickly suppressed their fear as well, charging right at Madman Chu’s power.

Their fearlessness had spread to all the other cultivators there. It forced Madman Chu’s pressure back as more and more of them started to attack.

Yang Jian, Xiao Chengfeng, Nanan, Shi Tuqin, Qin Manyun, Blackie’s attacks fell on Madman Chu first.

They unleashed their strongest attacks, putting their lives on the line. There was no room for retreat!

Xiao Chengfeng turned into a sword, Yang Jian turned into a divine figure, Shi Tuqin drew with her blood, Qin Manyun threw her divine senses into her music. All of that was no longer any regular spells. Even if Madman Chu used Turn to Nothingness, there was no way he would be able to cause their attacks to disappear.

It got closer!

All of them stared at Madman Chu, their teeth clenched as they stared death in the face1

Just as their attacks were about to hit Madman Chu, a massive black figure suddenly condensed around Madman Chu.

“Wisdom Dharma!”
