Chapter 481: Chapter 323: Yan Chuan? Yama! The more enlightened you are, the more help you get, Yama achieves Enlightenment! Break break break break! [Request for monthly ticket!]
At the same time.
Yan Chuan.
Along with Ban Xianfu, Luo Qi, Ying Jifeng, Peng Fannian, Situ Fei, Lu Yuru, Wei Lingshan, Ding Xiang, Ying He, Shi Mingzhu, Shen Xia, Jing Bao and others.
The ears of all thirteen were almost simultaneously filled with Shen Wu’s announcement, issuing an emergency task.
The task heard by Ban Xianfu and the twelve others was [Rescue Genius]!
What Yan Chuan heard was the [Opposite Conduct] task!
"Opposite Conduct?"
"Have I become the villain?"
Listening to the name of his task, Yan Chuan felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
However—
The clock is ticking!
The twelve talents!
Led by Ban Xianfu and Situ Fei, a group of talents that included seven individuals who could be called absolute, while the other five were all within the top ten of "Hidden Dragon" and "Chufeng"!
Arguably the cream of the crop among over a thousand talents!
To have these twelve people attack him?
Anyone’s first reaction would be that it’s absolutely impossible.
Anyone among them, even in a one-on-one fight, could crush Yan Chuan; even the lowest-ranked among the twelve, Ying Jifeng, would chase Yan Chuan all over the place, nearly making him unable to defend.
If all twelve pounced at once?
According to common sense, a dead end for Yan Chuan!
However—
...
[Your ’Yijinjing’ has improved, from Fifth Realm of Mastery to Sixth Realm Refining.]
[Your ’Innate Skill’ has improved, from Fifth Realm of Mastery to Sixth Realm Refining.]
...
[Your ’Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar’ has improved, from Fifth Realm of Mastery to Sixth Realm Refining.]
[Your ’Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar’ has improved, Skill Level +60]
...
Yan Chuan closed his eyes, breathed and opened sound, letting out a fierce roar, as the aura around his body surged sharply—
Postnatal Sixth Realm!
Postnatal Seventh Realm!
Postnatal Eighth Realm!
Inner power surged fiercely, and his cultivation climbed steadily.
Following Wang Zhengyi, Chen Ze, Fu Yunzhan, and Wang Ge, this time, under the main martial teaching of internal strength at the Chess Stone Peak, amid the unique environment of ’Evil Qi + Demon Barrier’, he executed the absolute skill "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar", finally allowing Yan Chuan to have a burst of inspiration, achieving a moment of Enlightenment, mastering both "Yijinjing" and "Innate Skill" to the Sixth Realm, Refining Fire.
The "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar" broke through into the Sixth Realm and immediately aimed towards the later stage!
Previously, Yan Chuan leveraged the ’Mutual Teaching and Learning’, progressing step by step with rare instances similar to Chen Ze’s enlightenment in "Quanzhen Swordsmanship" and "Jade Maiden Swordsmanship", Fu Yunzhan’s enlightenment of "Evil Exorcism Sword Skill", or Wang Ge’s enlightenment of "Seven Injuries Fist", achieving immense progress and transformation in a flash.
Their enlightenment propelled their martial arts skills to new heights, causing their cultivation to soar.
This is Enlightenment.
This is an opportunity.
But until now, Yan Chuan had only progressed gradually; although his martial arts accomplishment was not low and his cultivation increased quickly, there was no such instant transformation or sublimation.
Until this time!
Chen Ze!
Fu Yunzhan!
Wang Ge!
Not counting Wang Zhengyi, as his evolution and transformation were facilitated through avata, not included.
At this moment, Yan Chuan finally experienced it once.
Ascend, ascend, ascend!
Break, break, break!
Thrilled, thrilled, thrilled!
Relying on two Sixth Realm Divine Skills, relying on the late-stage "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar", and with the unique environment at the peak of Chess Stone, Yan Chuan was unprecedentedly powerful and fearless—
"That Naihe Bridge!"
Yan Chuan shouted, performing the lyrics and actions, his cries eerie and ghostly—
"That Naihe Bridge!"
"Under the bridge, it’s all rapid turbulent waters, a narrow treacherous path. Like a white silk spanning the Yangtze, indeed seeming like a fiery pit floating above. Yin Qi chills to the bone, the stench writhes through the senses."
"Waves roll and surge, with no ferries to cross; barefooted and shabby, only ghostly workers come and go."
"The bridge is several miles long, barely three feet wide, a hundred feet high, yet thousands deep. No handrails above, malevolent monsters beneath seize people. In shackles and chains, pressed onto the perilous path of Naihe."
"See those fierce Divine Generals beside the bridge, the wretched souls in the river in true torment."
"Blackened trees hang red and yellow clothes; cliffs before it crouching cursed spouses and lewd women. Copper snakes and iron dogs contend for meals, eternally trapped in Naihe without escape."
...
Yan Chuan performed the "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar", from Hell and torture, now singing of ’Naihe Bridge’ and ’resentful ghosts’. The undulating and emotive words paired with the eerie atmosphere made it seem like plunging into Hell or into Naihe, truly spine-chilling.
Situ Fei, awakened from a sitting and practicing position, listened to Yan Chuan’s roar—it echoed between heaven and earth, with ghosts wailing and gods weeping. It was as if Yan Chuan had transformed into Yama, summoning the eighteen layers of Hell to the Mortal World, or perhaps plunging this Mortal World into Hell.
"At times ghostly cries and divine howls echoed, blood waters surged thousands of feet high. Countless ox heads and horse faces fiercely guarded the Naihe Bridge."
Listening and watching, Situ Fei heard the [Emergency Announcement]. For Situ Fei, the reward of a Third-Rank Treasure for successfully disrupting wasn’t enticing, but a Fourth-Rank treasure was manageable. However, only one person among the twelve could obtain it, and the chance was slim; if only for this, Situ Fei wasn’t motivated to act.
Yet the penalty for task failure was no arena attack for seven days, which was unacceptable.
With very little time left until the end of Cang Mountain Sword Discussion.
These final days were the most intense for arena attacks and defenses, with each Heavenly Pride participant holding nothing back, and the opportunities for major top talents to attack the arena becoming increasingly rare, greatly increasing the chances of top talents encountering each other.
As time progresses!
The more likely it is to encounter those of the same caliber.
Being able to personally experience the martial arts of these individuals was something Situ Fei was looking forward to as well.
If unable to attack the arena for seven days, who knows how many opportunities would be missed.
"Apologies!"
With a decided mind, Situ Fei’s ’Sky Flying Shadow’ leaped down from the Zi Character Arena straight towards Yan Chuan in the Hai Character Arena; a Bodhisattva flying, without a trace of earthly smoke, though secretly gathering inner power to fiercely counter Yan Chuan’s "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar".
