Chapter 299: A Single Man Defending a Thousand Miles
Ahead, there was no path.
A vast gray-blue sky stretched across the ck soil of the War Realm, merging with the endless expanse above. This gray-blue expanse was semi-transparent, spanning millions of miles, with its depths hidden from view.
When one looked up, beams of gray-blue light shot skyward, creating a magnificent sight. Within the expanse, small gray points glowed like gel, suspended in the air.
However, any living being facing this vast sky felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness, as if standing before the true heavens—untouchable and immovable.
If expectations were correct, this was the edge of the War Realm, an endless dead zone with no path forward.
Everything here was illuminated by the light from the sky, casting a glow in the darkness. But the atmosphere was one of despair and death, like finding water in a desert only to realize it’s seawater.
Chen Xun and Brother Ox appeared calm, but their hearts were in turmoil. The scene before them was far more terrifying than any ancient formation. If the path trulyy ahead, it would require carving out an infinite stretch, entirely unlike the formations they had faced before.
Chen Xun''s long hair flowed as his eyes sharpened. He took a step forward. “Brother Ox, I’ll hold the rear. It’s up to you now.”
His words carried a chilling edge, and his robe billowed as the bandit’s gear enveloped himpletely, revealing only his cold eyes.“Moo~”
Brother Ox turned, ncing at the rear where ck dust surged. The ground trembled with deafening roars of murderous intent and hatred. In the distance, colossal ck mountains quaked, pressing forward. The corrupted beings’ auras surpassed even the early Deity Transformation stage.
<em>Boom! Boom! Boom!</em>
ck mist soared to the sky, and the waves of tainted blood filled every corner, turning the gray-blue sky into a sickly crimson, reeking of decay.
Countless corrupted beings let out cries of hatred, screeching and wailing, their forms grotesque and varied.
Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of corrupted beings began to gather, filling the sky andnd with a suffocating chill.
An endless swarm of corrupted beings surged toward the massive ship like bloodthirsty demons crawling out of hell.
In an instant...
The sky darkened, winds howled, and the air grew cold, shaking as if caught in an earthquake. Thunderous roars echoed across the vastnd.
The entire War Realm erupted, signaling the start of a violent ughter.
Chen Xun ascended slowly, gripping two mountain-splitting axes as he surveyed the scene. His presence erupted, fierce and overwhelming, apanied by faint rumbles of thunder.
Five imposing figures followed closely, their eyes shing with lightning as they scanned the surroundings.
Chen Xun’s axes hammered against his waist, and his silver hair danced wildly as his body soared into the sky.
Simultaneously, beams of five-colored light streaked across the sky. The deathly aura filled the air, surging toward the corrupted beings with a ck fog covering thousands of meters.
“Attack!”
<em>Boom!</em>
Six blinding figures charged forward, their vast auras converging like a brilliant river hanging across the sky.
For a moment, it was as if the heavens themselves had descended, shaking thend for thousands of miles. The ck soil rippled like the sea, and giant waves roared as if a tsunami was imminent.
Above, two primordial spirits ascended, shaking the heavens as overwhelming spiritual pressure and an Extinguishing Storm spread like a vast, covering the battlefield.
Another primordial spirit activated countless yellow and mystic-grade Seated Oblivion Talismans. They hovered in mid-air, their oppressive force extending for miles.
Chen Xun lifted an axe skyward, his breath like thunder. Five-colored power erupted from his body, and he radiated divine light from head to toe.
The space around him solidified, forming terrifying star disks that exploded like thunder. Massive meteors crashed down as if from beyond the heavens.
The immense pressure caused the ck soil to tremble, cracks spreading across the ground, and the fierce, hateful aura of the corrupted beings was instantly suppressed.
<em>Boom—Boom—</em>
Meteoric impacts tore the ground apart, transforming the battlefield into a sea of mes. Waves of destruction surged, flooding the skies with a crimson tide.
The corrupted beings on the ground screamed in terror, their faces contorted in shock and pain.
But the real battle had just begun!
At that moment, six towering figures advanced, roaring with an ancient fury that resonated like a tidal wave, sweeping across the battlefield.
Their energy surged like a storm, sand and stone whirling as streams of power rushed in every direction.
In an instant, their apertures opened, lightning arcing through the sky as space trembled and the ground quivered.
They absorbed the five elements from the world, and each strike carried the force to cleave the heavens.
<em>Boom! Boom! Boom!</em>
The ck soil was scarred, shattered beyond recognition by Chen Xun’s immense power. The battlefield roared in chaos.
Meanwhile...
Corrupted beings below the Deity Transformation stage howled in agony, torn apart. Severed limbs and blood stained the ground, covering every corner.
With a single blow, tens of thousands of corrupted beings fell, yet they showed no fear. More continued to swarm, as if protecting something of great importance.
The ck soil was littered with craters and rivers of tainted blood.
Xiao Chi stood on the ship, drenched in cold sweat. His gaze was intensely focused, and even his blood seemed to freeze.
This was destruction on a grand scale—true, world-ending devastation!
Xiao Chi stared at Brother Chen, bathed in lightning like an immortal. Awe filled his heart. One man holding back millions, keeping enemies at bay for thousands of miles... repelling endless waves of corrupted beings.
“Living being, how dare you!”
“Dare to tread upon the ancestral ground of the War Realm! The heavens will not permit you!”
“You deserve death!”
Roaring voices filled the air as the wind howled like wailing ghosts. Blood and darkness covered the sky, and ck mountains rumbled behind them, apanied by sharp, overwhelming sounds.
Chen Xun’s gaze remained cold. He crossed his axes before his chest, the deathly aura forming a tidal wave that engulfed him.
Two monumental axe lights descended from the sky like dragons of death, radiating an unstoppable force that seemed to end all life.
A surge of dread washed over the Deity Transformation corrupted beings as they halted in mid-air.
“Block it!”
The thunderous voice of hatred echoed. Their power surged, resonating with the heavens as they unleashed an overwhelming force, causing the ground below to fracture.
Blood burst from their bodies, and they summoned all their might to block the deathly axe light.
<em>Boom!</em>
The moment they shed, ck mountains crumbled, and the sky filled with darkness, obscured by the deathly aura.
The surroundings were in ruins, the space distorted and torn as if about to shatter.
Chen Xun scoffed, and beams of five-colored light spiraled around his axes. An Extinguishing Storm swept the ground, lifting corrupted beings into the air, where they exploded.
<em>Swish! Swish!</em>
Several streaks pierced the remnants of the deathly strike, bursting forth from the ck mist in a terrifying sh. The power around them surged violently, blood sttered, and the void trembled—an ultimate collision of the War Realm’s might.
The heavens seemed to turn upside down.
Chen Xun lifted his head, unafraid, controlling life and death, fighting until only nine-tenths of his life force remained.
He crouched slightly beforeunching into the sky. The axes tore through the air, leaving fiery trails as they zed across the battlefield, annihting any corrupted beings in their path.
Space blurred, and the ground cracked. Giant ck rifts snaked through the mountains, creating an awe-inspiring scene.
The Deity Transformation beings looked on, shaken. Who was this terrifying figure?
How much life force did he have to spend? Was he immortal?
All the corrupted beings gazed at the terrifying silver-haired figure in the sky, a chill running down their spines. His longevity and power defied all reason.
