Chapter 28 - Want to Leave? Can\'t Go Without Leaving Something Behind!
Buzz.
The two talents soared out, surrounded by divine light, looking magnificent like gods descending to earth. Both had impressive cultivation levels, one at the Life and Death Realm Fifth Layer and the other at the Sixth Layer.
Perhaps due to concerns about the Primordial Holy Land or other reasons, they didn’t dare to send anyone with too great a disparity in strength. After all, Soaring Snake God Son and Jin Taiyuan were only at the True King Realm, with Soaring Snake God Son being slightly stronger at the Eighth Layer.
A slender man in a white robe bowed arrogantly and said, “Holy Son, I am…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Chen interrupted, “No need for introductions. The soon-to-be-dead need not say too much.”
Upon hearing this, both challengers’ expressions darkened, their murderous intent boiling over like a tangible force, falling on Jiang Chen.
Spectators in Spirit Snake City were astounded. The Primordial Holy Son was perhaps too confident, even arrogant, to not take the opposition seriously. Both challengers were talented and strong, at the Fifth and Sixth Layers of the Life and Death Realm, respectively. Even a regular ninth-layer cultivator would need to treat them with caution.
At the top of the God Stone Pavilion, Huang Shanhai stroked his chin and softly said, “Has the Primordial Holy Son become too confident?”
“Their strength is not weak, and together they are much stronger than Soaring Snake God Son and Jin Taiyuan were,” replied an elder next to Huang Shanhai.
“You are underestimating the Primordial Holy Son. This generation’s Holy Son is the strongest in the history of the Primordial Holy Land, far surpassing all previous Holy Sons in talent, strength, and potential.”
Huang Shanhai was surprised and somewhat incredulous, having never heard such high praise from the elder before.
“Just watch. These two ancient imperial clans are about to lose two more talents,” the elder continued confidently. “These clans are too foolish. The Primordial Holy Son’s position and the reluctance of the Holy Land’s powerful figures to intervene are clear. If the Holy Son had such intentions, he would not be worthy of his position and would not be considered the hope of the Holy Land for thousands of years.”
Huang Shanhai became even more curious, replying with a smile, “Since the elder says so, I will watch this battle closely. I hope the Holy Son lives up to your words and doesn’t disappoint me.”
The elder frowned and huffed, “Then you better open your eyes wide and watch. This Primordial Holy Son is not simple.”
Meanwhile, discussions arose around Spirit Snake City. “The Holy Son is too confident, but given his confidence, he probably has the strength to crush the opposition.”
“The two ancient imperial clans are in for a disaster. Having already lost two talents, they’re now sending two more to their deaths. Ridiculous!”
“Why would they think the Holy Son needs the intervention of stronger figures from the Holy Land? If he can’t even handle a peer-to-peer conflict, how can he be fit for the position of Holy Son?”
“They underestimate the Primordial Holy Son.”
“The information might not be accurate.”
“They’re in for trouble!”
Perhaps it’s the case of insiders being blinded, while outsiders see more clearly. Maybe it’s the death of the two talents that has clouded the judgment of these elders, preventing them from thinking rationally.
Coupled with the previous widely circulated news about Jiang Chen’s recent advancement to the Life and Death Realm, they suspect there’s more to it than meets the eye. That’s why they specifically came to test the waters, also as a means to seek greater benefits.
If Jiang Chen doesn’t have the strength, the two ancient clans can use this as leverage to bleed the Primordial Holy Land dry. Of course, if Jiang Chen does have the capability, they will lose two more talents. But compared to the potential gains of the former, the latter’s losses are trivial. Rather than saying they failed to see clearly, it’s more accurate to say they were tempted by greater gains.
“Attack!” The Soaring Snake Being ordered in a low voice. Following this command, the two talents unleashed their long-accumulated aura in a sweeping gust, unleashing their divine power that enveloped the entire sky.
“Too weak!” Jiang Chen’s eyes sparkled as he uttered a low cry. Boom. No longer concealing, his aura of the ninth level of the Life and Death Realm burst forth, terrifying like a vast river of stars, engulfing the entire Spirit Snake City.
“You!” Feeling Jiang Chen’s aura, the two were shaken and filled with fear. What happened to the promised True King Realm? This was clearly the Life and Death Realm, and even at ninth level!
“Hmph! Universe in the Palm!” Jiang Chen snorted coldly, giving them no chance. He extended his hand, and a vast hand, as if carrying a whole world, tore through space. The two, unable to resist such divine power, were directly grasped by Jiang Chen.
Bang.
Jiang Chen’s palms closed, space shattered, and an incredibly terrifying force burst out. The two were easily crushed like ants.
“Stop!” Seeing Jiang Chen about to kill them, the two Saint Beings couldn’t sit still any longer. Cultivating two geniuses, especially at the Life and Death Realm, was no easy task.
“Crossing the line!” A calm voice rang out, devoid of any immense pressure, sounding like an ordinary person’s words. However, this voice stopped the two Holy Beings from intervening, leaving them to watch as the two geniuses were completely crushed by Jiang Chen.
“Great Saint!” More shocked than the death of the two geniuses, the two Saint Beings were surprised by the person who intervened. A Great Saint, at such a level, is an absolute force in any power, usually not easily moved, and even more unlikely to act as a protector. Now, a Great Saint has become Jiang Chen’s protector.
“Elders, these two are already dead! Have I met your expectations with my strength? If not, you can call more geniuses to try!” Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke indifferently, his tone filled with endless sarcasm and mockery.
The Saint Beings were silenced directly, unsure how to respond.
“You won!”
“This is indeed our problem,” said the Soaring Snake Saint Being solemnly.
By now, they had to admit that Jiang Chen’s strength far exceeded their imagination. In fact, as soon as Jiang Chen revealed his ninth-level Life and Death Realm cultivation, they knew these two were no match for him. After speaking, the two Saint Beings wanted to leave directly.
“Why are you leaving so soon? These things are not as simple as coming and going as you please. Leaving without something to show for it is unreasonable.”
“How about leaving both of your lives behind?” Jiang Chen said coldly. A Life and Death Realm practitioner demanding the lives of two Saint Beings would normally be laughed at as a lunatic. But now, no one dared to say that, because Jiang Chen truly had the capability.
(TL: This is the translator I am changing the way they are addressed instead of Holy Young Master changing it to Holy Son.
I’ve been thinking since Son in chinese mean Young Master I translated it as Young Master but I’ve been thinking it doesn’t seem to fit since he’s part of a sect Holy Son/God Son seems a bit more compatible.)
