Chapter 857: A Lot Of People Are Going To Die Today

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

Yan Li’s cultivation had long reached the pinnacle of the Earthly Immortal Stage. The moment he released his aura, the faint rumble of thunder could be heard in the air.

In just a single breath’s time, nine dancing lightning bolts came crashing down.

Yan Li’s physique was clearly not weak. Even though he didn’t charge up to face the lightning like Mo Wuji, he didn’t need to take out any form of defensive treasure; he simply accepted the blows of the lightning.

Waves of lightning landed on Yan Li. They tore through Yan Li’s skin, splashing fresh blood all over his body. Yan Li was truly tough; he didn’t release any grunts of pain, nor did he use any defensive treasure.

Standing by Mo Wuji’s side, Mo Qingche witnessed the sight with a palpitating heart. She said worriedly, ”Grandpa, this Lightning Calamity is so terrifying. In the future, would I also have to face it?”

Mo Wuji said calmly, ”That’s right. If you wish to pursue greater heights, you need to pass a tribulation of lightning. If you fail, then you would be reduced to ashes.”

Mo Wuji didn’t even try to encourage Mo Qingche. As a cultivator, if she couldn’t even accept this, then any encouragement was useless. He couldn’t possibly stay by Mo Qingche’s side the whole time; Mo Qingche would eventually have to walk on her own path.

Mo Qingche seemed to understand Mo Wuji intentions. She firmed her resolution and said, ”Grandpa, rest assured. In the future, when I’m facing this lightning, I definitely will not falter.”

One day later, the Lightning Calamity finally dispersed. The bloodied and fatigued Yan Li finally passed it and he was greeted by rainbow clouds of recovery.

In half a day, Yan Li excitedly sprang out of the lightning-blasted ditch.

”Big Brother, that Lightning Calamity is truly refreshing. I already feel the power of ascension. As long as I release my Heavenly Immortal aura, we would immediately be able to ascend.” Yan Li elatedly ran over; his voice was filled with excitement.

Mo Wuji could also clearly feel a qualitative change in Yan Li; Yan Li was much stronger than before. Mo Wuji nodded and said, ”You can ascend now. I will follow you.”

Mo Wuji hadn’t left the Immortal World for a long time, and this time was simply nothing for the experts of the Immortal World. However, the reason why Mo Wuji was so anxious was because of what he left behind.

It was true that he destroyed the Great Sword Path, but Mo Wuji was clear that the Great Sword Path’s greatest expert, Yi Minghu, was still alive.

There’s no need to talk about Yi Minghu. All three of the Grand Emperors and the Quasi-Emperor that surrounded him and tried to kill him were all still alive.

Moreover, his enemies weren’t simply these four. There were still Grand Emperor Lun Cai and the Alliance Head of the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance.

It could be said that during his absence, his Ping Fan was left in a precarious state.

What kind of people was in Ping Fan? There was only one newly-advanced Grand Emperor, Wei Zidao. Wei Zidao’s abilities were not bad; he was able to control a faction within Sword Prison. However, compared to true experts, Wei Zidao wasn’t anything special.

”Alright.” Yan Li responded and immediately released his aura.

A loud rumble came from the vast void; a passage began to form above Yan Li’s head. A strong force of suction directly swept Yan Li up, sucking him away.

Mo Wuji extended his hand and grabbed Mo Qingche; he rushed up the passage together with Yan Li.

Just as Mo Wuji entered the passage, a powerful force of repulsion tried to push Mo Wuji away.

There seemed to be an obstacle within the passage. Yan Li was able to pass this obstacle unhindered, but Mo Wuji and Mo Qingche were blocked.

Mo Wuji’s heart race; he was clear that once Yan Li fully ascends, this passage would disappear completely. He would no longer be able to use this passage to return to the Immortal World.

At this instant, Mo Wuji didn’t hesitate any further. He retrieved a page of the Book of Luo to protect Mo Qingche. After which, he grabbed his Kun Wu Sword and cleaved down towards this obstacle.

A violent sword intent swept outwards, forming a tear on that obstacle. Mo Wuji then punched towards that tear, blowing it apart. A small gap appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji hurriedly grabbed Mo Qingche and raced through that gap.

Various kinds of spatial blades sailed past him. Even though Mo Wuji had a strong late-stage God Physique, injuries still formed throughout his body.

Mo Wuji was inwardly glad that he had used the Book of Luo to protect Mo Qingche. Otherwise, among these terrifying spatial blades, he would have no means of protecting Mo Qingche. The power of the Laws of the Heaven and Earth was truly terrifying. Now, he was trying to go against these Laws. If he were any weaker, he would have probably been killed.

After getting through that obstacle, Mo Wuji immediately felt immortal spiritual energy. A ripple filled with natural runes appeared in front of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji was an array master and he had also recently learnt about different kinds of talismans. Thus, he only needed a single glance at these runes to know that they were transfer dao runes formed from the dao aura of the Heaven and Earth.

Mo Wuji had never ascended before. However, his spiritual will detected that Yan Li had entered those dao runes. Grabbing onto Mo Qingche, he went into those dao runes.

Indeed, after stepping into the dao runes, an otherworldly sensation flooded towards him. At the next instant, Mo Wuji landed in a deep pool surrounded by mists of spiritual energy.
