Foundation Establishment Means Death Sentence? Did My Simulator Glitch?

Chapter 231 The Bai Family Strikes!

【Being unable to use the Realm-Boundary Grand Array meant that for the next year, you would have no way at all to return to the Canglan Realm.】

【The moment you thought about being unable to return to the Canglan Realm, you could not help thinking that the people of the Sword Pavilion, as well as Zhuge Qing, Ye Chuxue, and the others, might eventually be unable to hold back and make a move, only to all perish in the end.】

【Although you could rely on Taixu Dragon Traversal to cross from plane to plane, you had no idea how much time each traversal would consume.】

【“For now, just cultivate.”】

【After a long silence, Xuanyuan Tianji was the first to speak.】

【Looking at the Immortal Crystal in your hand, you knew that aside from cultivating, there was nothing else the two of you could do now.】

【You clenched the Immortal Crystal tightly and silently swore that you would one day return to the Canglan Realm and slaughter the Bizarre Insect Clan to the last.】

【A few days later, you and Xuanyuan Tianji each entered seclusion.】

【Within the Hope Zone, only Chen Shu remained, living her life in an orderly way.】

【After Chen Tian’s death, Chen Shu’s entire personality had changed. She became quiet and withdrawn, spending each day clearing the ruins of the Hope Zone, as though trying to restore it to the way it once was.】

【The twentieth year!】

【On this day, Chen Shu was, as usual, busy with her work within the Hope Zone.】

【Suddenly, an uninvited guest barged into the Ancient Emperor Ruins.】

【“Hahaha! I knew there were still surviving remnants of the Hope Zone inside the Ancient Emperor Ruins!”】

【The moment the words fell, Chen Shu abruptly turned toward the source of the voice. Three figures came into view, and all three were at the Heavenly Venerable Realm.】

【“You?”】

【Chen Shu recognized the speaker at once. He was Bai Yuan, the member of the Bai Family whom her brother Chen Tian had once ambushed.】

【Bai Yuan glared viciously at Chen Shu.】

【“It was your brother who ruined my chance to break through to the Immortal Realm. It is all because of you!”】

【Bai Yuan roared at Chen Shu. During the past year, after being severely wounded by Chen Tian, he had remained in seclusion, healing his injuries.】

【Not long after fully recovering, he had hurriedly left Heavenly Emperor City and come to the Ancient Emperor Ruins.】

【And as it turned out, his guess had been right.】

【“I will not let you die so easily. I will torture you in front of your brother’s grave until he regrets what he did.”】

【“Take her!”】

【Bai Yuan waved his right hand, and the two men beside him surrounded Chen Shu from both sides.】

【“Do not make any futile resistance.”】

【Seeing herself tightly encircled by Bai Yuan and the other two, Chen Shu knew she could not escape. She turned her gaze in your direction and silently prayed that you would notice something was wrong.】

【By this time, you had already been alarmed by the commotion outside. After all, Bai Yuan’s Heavenly Venerable aura was impossible for you not to notice.】

【You slowly opened your eyes and frowned at the three figures outside.】

【Then, when you saw the three of them cornering Chen Shu, you immediately left the wooden hut without hesitation.】

【In the next instant, a Void Gate appeared before you, and you stepped into it.】

【Immediately afterward, another Void Gate silently opened behind Bai Yuan, and you burst out of it at high speed.】

【Bang!】

【You drove a punch into Bai Yuan’s waist, and the force of the sudden blow sent him flying dozens of meters away.】

【That punch had relied purely on the power of your fleshly body. Your main purpose in saving Chen Shu this time was to test your current true strength.】

【And the three Heavenly Venerables before you were the perfect sparring partners.】

【“Damn it, who attacked me?”】

【When Bai Yuan came back to his senses, he looked at you with an ugly expression.】

【“The Eighth Tribulation Realm?”】

【“You worthless Eighth Tribulation Realm trash dare try to play the hero and save the beauty?”】

【Bai Yuan gestured to the other two and ordered them to deal with you first.】

【You saw the other two quickly give up on Chen Shu and begin closing in on you instead.】

【Looking at the three of them around you, the corners of your lips could not help lifting slightly.】

【You felt that dealing with the three of them would not even require you to use Boiling Dragonblood.】

【However... you suddenly thought of a Divine Power that you had still never used up to now.】

【Then a mocking expression appeared on your face as you deliberately provoked Bai Yuan and the other two.】

【“To deal with three pieces of trash like you, I do not even need to use my full strength.”】

【The moment Bai Yuan and the other two heard those words, they were instantly enraged.】

【Bai Yuan was the first to charge forward, launching a Divine Power attack at you.】

【You calmly spoke four words.】

【“Sword Emperor Phantom!”】

【The instant the words fell, a hundred-zhang-tall Chaos Phantom appeared behind you, radiating a faint Imperial Might.】

【The moment the Sword Emperor Phantom manifested, you felt your understanding of the Sword Dao deepen even further. Taking out the Taixu Immortal Sword, you casually swung it, and an instant-cast Heavenslaying slashed forth.】

【BOOM—】

【After passing eight rounds of tribulation lightning, and with the Sword Emperor’s Successor increasing the power of sword techniques by 150%, the might of your Heavenslaying was now more than ten times what it had been before.】

【After a thunderous explosion, Bai Yuan, at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, lay rigidly on the ground, with half of his body already gone.】

【Bai Yuan had just opened his mouth to say something when blood began pouring continuously from it. He tried to repair his body with Spiritual Power, only to discover that it was utterly impossible.】

【What Bai Yuan did not know was that your Heavenslaying carried a trace of the Law of Destruction. For someone within the same major realm, restoring such a wound with Spiritual Power was impossible unless he broke through to the Immortal Realm.】

【When the other two saw that Bai Yuan, who was even stronger than they were, had been gravely wounded by a single move from you, all desire to fight vanished from them. Without even looking back, they fled toward the outside of the Ancient Emperor Ruins.】

【“You... you two!”】

【Bai Yuan could only watch helplessly as the two men fled, utterly powerless to stop them.】

【At this moment, Bai Yuan’s heart was filled with despair.】

【You glanced at the two fleeing figures in the distance and let out a cold laugh, then slashed out two consecutive Heavenslayings.】

【In an instant, two miserable screams rang out, and the two men dropped to the ground motionless.】

【Seeing the three of them crippled with such ease, you gained a clear understanding of your own strength.】

【You knew that below the Immortal Realm, you were now invincible. The only question was whether you could fight an actual Immortal Realm opponent.】

【At that thought, your gaze turned toward the direction where Xuanyuan Tianji was cultivating in seclusion.】

【Once this matter was finished, you wanted to spar with Xuanyuan Tianji and find out whether your current battle power still had any gap left compared with the Immortal Realm.】

【Very soon, your gaze turned to Chen Shu.】

【“I will leave these three to you.”】

【From the conversation just now, you already knew that Bai Yuan was one of the chief culprits behind Chen Tian’s death.】

【So you left Bai Yuan and the other two in Chen Shu’s hands to deal with.】

【Then you headed toward Xuanyuan Tianji’s residence. Not long after you left, Bai Yuan’s miserable screams rose from behind you, though the commotion gradually died down soon enough.】
