Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven
Chapter 1855 - 1846: Arrival of the Big Shots
"What?"
Zhuge Ye was slain, meeting an untimely death. Such a scene left everyone around shocked.
The dignified City Lord of Black Wither City, with a cultivation of the fourth level of the Reverse Life Realm, a top genius in the Tianxuan Universe, had his cultivation career ended by Mo Wangchen today.
Though many present had heard of Mo Wangchen’s formidable strength, of his ability to defeat enemies across realms.
But hearing about it and witnessing it firsthand are entirely different experiences.
"You’re courting death!"
From afar in the sky, engaged in a fierce battle with Li Mu, Nalan Kang, who had now gained the upper hand, witnessed the scene of Mo Wangchen striking down Zhuge Ye.
He couldn’t help but shout in anger, abruptly ceasing his fierce assault on Li Mu, and instead charged furiously towards Mo Wangchen.
"Retreat!"
Mo Wangchen was not one to cling to battle. Although he had no trouble taking down a fourth-level Reverse Life Realm cultivator like Zhuge Ye, he was well aware of his limits. Facing a formidable enemy like a sixth-level Reverse Life Realm cultivator would only lead to losses.
Besides, the goal had already been achieved. The Demon Flag had left its post, the Array Eye of the Tomb Array had been breached effortlessly, and given the exhaustion of Mo Wangchen, Li Mu, and others, it was impossible for Nalan Kang and his group to suppress the Demon Flag and claim it as their own now.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
At Mo Wangchen’s command, the forces from the Holy City swiftly retreated, clearly indicating that Liu Qingxin, Xu Qingqiu, and others had long prepared for an immediate withdrawal.
"Boom!"
Nearly three hundred people retreated rapidly. Mo Wangchen and Li Mu each employed Holy Techniques, launching fierce attacks against Nalan Kang who was pressing in, to block his pursuit.
Neither of them lingered in battle. After unleashing several major Holy Techniques, they turned around and fled.
"Pursue!"
Nalan Kang, filled with anger and shame, failed to suppress the Demon Flag today, and even lost a fourth-level Reverse Life Realm cultivator, Zhuge Ye. How could he endure this? Furious, he wished to capture Mo Wangchen and his group and slay them all on the spot.
But facing the fierce attacks of Mo Wangchen and Li Mu, he dared not be careless. After dispersing the attacks of the two, the forces from the Holy City had already retreated to a distant location.
Now, with the Demon Flag attacking indiscriminately, suppression was out of the question. Nalan Kang could only lead his team in a swift retreat while pursuing Mo Wangchen and his group.
"What should we do now? Nalan Kang seems to be thoroughly enraged by us. The wrath of a sixth-level Reverse Life Realm expert is not something just anyone can withstand."
In the distant mountains, under the leadership of Mo Wangchen and Li Mu, the group from the Holy City continued forward swiftly, with someone in the team unable to help but voice this concern.
Others, hearing this, couldn’t help but frown. Indeed, within this Divine King Tomb, danger lurked at every turn, and now they had to keep watch for the pursuing Nalan Kang and his men, making many uneasy.
"If nothing goes wrong, the nine Demon Weapons once suppressed within the Tomb should have almost all been alerted and released. The nine Array Eyes are breaking without attack, and I believe the Divine King’s Burial Ground will truly open soon. Let’s head to the Tomb at full speed now," Mo Wangchen said after a moment of silence.
Li Mu, Liu Qingxin, and Xu Qingqiu all found this reasonable; along the way, Demon Weapons had been continuously awakened. It’s likely that others had also realized that in order to enter the Divine King Burial Ground, they needed to destroy the nine Array Eyes.
"Full speed ahead, watch out for Nalan Kang and his pursuers from behind,"
At Li Mu’s command, the group quickened their pace again because if Nalan Kang really caught up, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Nearly three hundred figures swiftly sped through the mountains and forests, traveling from the outskirts of the Tomb to the Snow Mountain, which was merely a hundred miles away. With the current speed of Mo Wangchen and his group, they would reach the Divine King Burial Ground in less than an hour.
"Hmm? It seems quite a few people have arrived here ahead of us."
As Mo Wangchen’s group approached the front of the Snow Mountain, they saw at the foot of the mountain, at least several thousand people had gathered, each a genius from different universes, all with strength above the Reverse Life Realm.
Furthermore, Mo Wangchen noticed that in the distant Void, there were figures swiftly gliding in, not young people, but elders who appeared to be in their fifties or older.
"Daoist Master Level experts!"
Li Mu squinted his eyes, his expression changing slightly. He could sense that although these elders’ auras were extremely well-concealed, there was still an intangible pressure emanating from them, akin to facing a Heavenly Mountain, leaving one breathless.
No need to think, it was clear that these were Daoist Master Level experts ruling over a realm, nearly standing at the pinnacle of the world!
"Why are so many Daoist Master Level experts arriving here?"
Even Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but frown at this moment.
Daoist Masters, top figures ruling over a Great Realm, each possessing extraordinary and unfathomable strength, were equals to Masters.
Now, upon arriving at this Snow Mountain, one could frequently see these Daoist Master Level experts continuously rushing here in the distant sky, whether riding upon rainbow light or aboard warships.
After arriving here, these Daoist Master Level experts merely glanced at the people below and quickly flew towards the peak of the Snow Mountain without lingering.
The enormous Snow Mountain rose into the clouds. Only when one stood at its base could they truly comprehend its enormity and their own insignificance.
The midsection of the Snow Mountain was shrouded year-round in dense clouds, making it impossible for even Reverse Life Realm cultivators to probe the specifics of the mountain peak.
Upon inquiring, Mo Wangchen and the others learned that a significant figure seemed to have arrived atop the Snow Mountain, and unauthorized persons were not permitted to climb.
"What kind of figure has arrived? With so many Daoist Master Level experts, could it be a Realm God has come here?" Not only Mo Wangchen, but at this moment, Liu Qingxin, Li Mu, and others were equally puzzled.
Perhaps only a Realm God Level expert who commands a universe could create such a grand scene, bringing so many Daoist Master Level experts together, a feat not just anyone can accomplish.
"What’s going on? We went through all the hardships to get here, finally reached the Divine King’s Burial Ground, and now we’re not allowed to climb?"
Nearly everyone who had arrived here could only wait at the foot of the mountain. Leaving wasn’t an option, nor was climbing, and as time dragged on, someone finally voiced this dissatisfaction.
