Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 446: I Hate Them. Born As Ants!

Big Eyed Li muttered to himself as he stood amongst the crowd, "Can we really survive the calamity today?"

Tiger Lord and Nong Gui appeared beside him at some point, and more and more cultivators rushed to the hunting grounds. Among them were those from the Jue Family who were at the Foundation Building Realm and Qi Refining Realm. They thought that this time, the Jue Family was going to be destroyed in this calamity, but they never expected to see a glimmer of hope on an enemy.

"Son, use your Divination of the Stars to calculate the outcome of today!" Big Eyed Li looked at Li Daoye.

Li Daoye had already closed his eyes and white qi started surrounding him. However, his complexion became increasingly grim. He opened his eyes, his expression complex. "Dad, I can't calculate it unless I deplete all my lifespan."

"If you can't calculate it, then so be it. Today, life or death depends on how many cycles of life that person can still cut through." Big Eyed Li sighed softly.

Jue Tiangang muttered to himself with a complicated expression, "I thought there was only a slight difference between Jue Wudi and him, but now it seems that Jue Wudi's talent can't even be compared to him."

"Tiangang, could Jue Wudi really be a Spirit Blood Sect cultivator?" A Foundation Building Realm cultivator furrowed his brow.

"Who knows? Spirit Blood Sect’s cultivators are everywhere, and now someone says he is, so he probably is."

Jue Tiangang said indifferently, "If we survive today, denying this fact would only harm us and bring no benefits."

Fang Chen approached yet another Golden Core Realm cultivator.

That Golden Core Realm cultivator looked on in horror as his comrades fell one by one at the hands of Fang Chen. When he realized that he was Fang Chen's target, despite being in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, he was filled with fear!

The middle stage Golden Core Realm cultivator gritted his teeth and let out a roar, "I'll fight with you until the end!"

He immediately rose from his seat, broke free from the Divine Blood Spirit Refining Formation, and attacked Fang Chen aggressively.

Another sword strike came forth. In the blink of an eye, the middle stage Golden Core Realm was completely annihilated.

Wrinkles started appearing on Fang Chen’s body. Witnessing this scene, everyone understood that if Fang Chen continued to wield his sword like that, he would end up killing himself!

"This child..." Fang Ao and his wife clenched their hands tightly together with Fang Yun and Fang Jue standing beside them.

At that moment, Li Cang and Chang Feilan were also with them. The gazes of everyone were filled with a tinge of heartache.

Fang Yun suddenly spoke up, "Dad... Will Brother Fang Chen die if he keeps this up?"

Fang Ao glanced at her and nodded gently, "No one can lose so much of their lifespan, especially not so many times."

Fang Yun looked at Fang Chen in a daze. For some reason, her heart suddenly ached.

"Younger brother, don't wield your sword anymore. We can hold on for a while longer, but they can't delay any further," the voice of Immortal Void Rush suddenly rang out.

Fang Chen's steps paused slightly as he looked toward Immortal Void Rush.

"Even though that Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Spirit Blood Sect has trapped this area with a formation, I am prepared for this. If my message cannot be conveyed within a certain time frame, more Nascent Soul Realm cultivators will come rushing over."

Immortal Void Rush looked towards Kunlong Battle General and said, "What awaits them at that time will be total annihilation."

Everyone's spirits lifted. "So Senior Void Rush has preparations!"

Fairy Yu hurriedly shouted, "Lord, did you hear that? Stop using your sword! If you die here, you know I will definitely go find you in the underworld river!"

Fang Chen coughed lightly a few times and then smiled at Fairy Yu. "Whether there is an underworld in this world or not is still uncertain. If I die here today, your task will be to eliminate every Spirit Blood Sect cultivator in the world."

Although his voice was not loud, everyone heard it, and a hint of resentment appeared in their eyes. That was hatred towards the Spirit Blood Sect.

Kunlong Battle General, who had been emotionally detached all along, noticed that and his eyes became colder.

Why did the Spirit Blood Sect always act cautiously in the past and not dare to engage directly with cultivators? It was because they feared this exact scenario!

When things didn't involve them directly, the Spirit Blood Sect existed only in legends. Even if cultivators discovered their traces, they would pretend not to notice and avoid getting involved. But once they got involved and those cultivators didn't die, they would turn their swords toward the Spirit Blood Sect, obstructing their path.

Fairy Yu forced a smile. "I will do it, but can you please not die?"

Dongfang Haojie looked at Fairy Yu, then gazed deeply at Fang Chen. "So, their previous interactions with me were to ensure my safety. All of this is the result of his efforts."

Suddenly, the pain he had felt when gave away his blood essence didn't seem like much anymore.

Xia Ji said, "Fang Da, listen to me, Immortal Void Rush told you not to wield your sword, listen to him!"

"Amitabha…" a Buddhist chant suddenly sounded, and Xia Ji turned around in surprise to see Master Chanyuan and Immortal Fire Cloud walking step by step, with Wu Ruochou following behind.

Xia Ji said, "Master, Senior Sister, I'm glad you're okay."

The sixth princess hurriedly ran to Immortal Fire Cloud’s side. "Master!"

Master Chanyuan looked at Fang Chen and said softly, "Benefactor, although you have comprehended that Buddhist scripture, you still can’t use it so wantonly."

Fang Chen asked softly, "Why did someone tell me that they haven't seen you outside the capital? The Buddha is supposed to save those suffering. As the abbot of Profound Void Temple, shouldn't you intervene to save those in distress?"

Xia Ji noticed that Fang Chen's words were rife with hidden meaning, and he turned to him reflexively. "Fang Da?"

Master Chanyuan sighed softly. "The Buddhist Path is indeed supposed to save those in distress, but when we are in distress, who will come to save us?"

"I see. So, you joined the Spirit Blood Sect, became the Kunlong Battle General, and stationed yourself in Grand Qian, all for the Blood Spirit Pill and also to avenge the slaughter of Profound Void Temple," Fang Chen continued. "You hate the Fang Family for slaughtering the Profound Void Temple, you hate the Jue Family for standing aside, but... what do you hate Grand Qian for?"

Master Chanyuan smiled with folded hands. "I hate them for their ignorance. I hate them for living their lives blindly. I hate them for being born as ants!"

Fang Wanli, Princess Shenlong, and others were shocked.

How could it be… Master Chanyuan is the Kunlong Battle General? Then who is the person currently refining the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators?

Xia Ji's face turned extremely ugly. "Master?!"

Wu Ruochou was also completely stunned.

Immortal Fire Cloud didn't know what to make of this. What's going on?

Master Chanyuan looked at Xia Ji and smiled. "Xia Ji, you are too kind-hearted. Why did you not take any action even though you knew that Fang Lingxing had sent someone to kill your Senior Brother Liu? Now that I think about it, if I were to ask you to practice with me in the Spirit Blood Sect, I'm afraid you wouldn't agree, right?"

Fang Lingxing's expression shifted erratically, and many people looked at her strangely.

"Master, since you know how Senior Brother Liu died, why..." Xia Ji cut himself short. He had realized something, causing him to let out a laugh. "Senior Brother Liu didn't die, did he?"

Wu Ruochou gritted her teeth. "Master, Junior Brother, what's going on?! What happened to Senior Brother Liu?!"

Just then, Kunlong Battle General took off his silver mask and looked at Xia Ji.

"Junior Brother."

Xia Ji stepped back several steps. "Senior Brother Liu... you..."

Lord Tiger looked horrified. He clearly... saw Senior Brother Liu's head with his own eyes.

What’s happening now?

"Xia Ji, there is actually no Master Chanyuan, and there is no Senior Brother Liu." Fang Chen sighed softly. "They have been the same person all along."

He had seen this kind of clone technique from Supreme Immortal Pudu before.

His eyes with golden lines could clearly see that there was an... imperceptible thread on Master Chanyuan and Senior Brother Liu.
