1216: Chapter 1209: Unforeseen Changes in the Ancient Martial World 1216: Chapter 1209: Unforeseen Changes in the Ancient Martial World One day later.
In Huaxia Country, Nangang, within a mountain cave of a certain mountain range.
It was here that Ye Chenfeng left the Ancient Martial World a year ago.
The barrier gate inside this cave leads to the underground space of the Land of Trial.
Back then, Ye Chenfeng, having slain Ouyang Bai, an Ancient Martial Punisher at the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm, encountered Ouyang Bai’s twin brother Ouyang Ming who was imprisoned below the Land of Trial.
Far from attacking Ye Chenfeng, Ouyang Ming instead aided Ye Chenfeng in reconstructing his meridians and transforming his body with his life’s cultivation, leading Ye Chenfeng to willingly address Ouyang Ming as “Master.”
According to what Ouyang Ming said at the time, only this barrier gate at the Land of Trial would reopen after a year, while another barrier gate leading to the Ancient Martial World would take two years to reopen.
After entering the cave, Ye Chenfeng pressed his right palm against the stone wall and continuously channeled his Divine Level peak Soul Force into it.
Shortly after, a screen of light manifested before Ye Chenfeng, who, without any hesitation, stepped into it.
His vision blurred, and when he regained his sight, Ye Chenfeng found himself in the underground space of the Land of Trial.
Returning here after a year, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.
A year ago, he and Ouyang Bai, an Ancient Martial Punisher at the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm, had fought a life-and-death battle in the Land of Trial.
Scenes from the past seemed to be just in front of him.
Now, as a Divine Level peak Ye Chenfeng, even if he were to face an expert at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, he could easily eliminate them in mere seconds.
After arriving below the Land of Trial, he looked towards the left wall and saw a decaying corpse exuding the stench of rot.
The corpse’s limbs were bound by some kind of metal chain, and the flesh on its body and face had completely decayed, making it impossible to discern the corpse’s original appearance.
This corpse was none other than Ouyang Ming, who had exhausted his life’s cultivation to help Ye Chenfeng reconstruct his meridians.
A year ago, due to Ye Chenfeng’s insufficient strength, he couldn’t break the metal chains that bound Ouyang Ming’s limbs and had to decide to come back after a year to bury Ouyang Ming.
Without any distaste for the foul stench of Ouyang Ming’s corpse, Ye Chenfeng stepped forward toward it, bearing in mind that a year prior in his battle with Ouyang Bai, his meridians were completely severed.
Had it not been for Ouyang Ming’s aid, his situation would have been even more perilous.
“Clang!
Clang!
Clang!——”
After approaching Ouyang Ming’s corpse, Ye Chenfeng, with Divine Level peak Soul Force coursing through his body, snapped the metal chains binding Ouyang Ming’s limbs one by one.
Then, he picked up Ouyang Ming’s corpse and went back through the barrier gate to the cave.
After exiting the cave, Ye Chenfeng found a decent spot in the mountains to bury Ouyang Ming’s body and erected a tombstone for him, clearly inscribed with: “Tomb of Master Ouyang Ming.”
Ye Chenfeng might not be called a good person, but he is definitely someone who understands gratitude and repays kindness.
Ouyang Ming had spent his life’s cultivation to help Ye Chenfeng, and thus rightly deserved the title of “Master” from Ye Chenfeng.
After burying Ouyang Ming, Ye Chenfeng returned to the underground space of the Land of Trial.
The entire Land of Trial had completely collapsed, and to return to the Ancient Martial World, Ye Chenfeng had to clear all the collapsed stones above.
This was not a difficult task for Ye Chenfeng, and in about ten or twenty minutes, he could handle it completely.
…
When Ye Chenfeng was preparing to clear the collapsed stones.
In the Ancient Martial World, outside the Land of Trial.
The once-sacred Land of Trial of the Ancient Martial World had now turned into a collapsed ruin.
About ten figures suddenly appeared in front of the ruins of the Land of Trial, looking extremely disheveled, each breathing erratically.
If Ye Chenfeng were here, he would undoubtedly recognize them.
This group was none other than Ye Chenfeng’s great-uncle Sun Boyi, grandfather Sun Yang’an, Sun Xiaoli, Sun Hengfei and others, along with the valley master Lie Yan of Red Flame Valley, his son Lie Yang, and their cohort!
Back when Ye Chenfeng and the Ancient Martial World’s first-rate forces Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall were at odds, Red Flame Valley, also a first-rate force, had chosen to stand by Ye Chenfeng’s side.
The spiritual energy contained within the Ancient Martial World’s atmosphere had become several times denser than a year ago, more suitable for ancient martial artists to cultivate.
The likes of Sun Boyi who had originally been at the Sky-breaking Realm had all improved to the Primordial Heaven Realm, while the valley master Lie Yan of Red Flame Valley, already at the peak of Primordial Heaven Realm, and the Great Elder Wang Wuji of Red Flame Valley had astonishingly reached half-step into the Transcendent Realm.
However, worry was etched across the faces of Sun Boyi and the others.
Clenching his teeth, Sun Hengfei said, “A year ago, Chenfeng died here in the Land of Trial for our sake.
Today, even if I have to die, I will die here.”
As soon as Sun Hengfei’s words fell, four more figures appeared before the ruins of the Land of Trial.
These people were the sect leader Li Dongtian and the second elder Chen Xingfa of Cloud Soaring Palace, along with the sect leader Mo Wusha and the Great Elder Gui Tianlin of Earth Demon Hall!
Li Dongtian and these other three had still been at the Primordial Heaven Realm level a year ago, but now they had all reached the peak level of the Transcendent Realm?
Their strength had even surpassed that of the former Ancient Martial Punisher Ouyang Bai.
What exactly happened within the Ancient Martial World?
After the arrival of Li Dongtian and the others, several figures occasionally appeared around the ruins of the Land of Trial.
It seemed that these people had come to spectate, and they couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
“Five days ago, a group of people arrived at our first-rate forces.
Since those people appeared, the spiritual energy here suddenly became denser.
No one knows where they came from?”
“Are you that out of the loop?
The legendary Heaven-reaching Sea has appeared.
It’s said that on the other side of the Heaven-reaching Sea, there’s an even higher-level ancient martial world.
That group of people all came from the other side of the Heaven-reaching Sea.”
“I heard that group of people are extremely powerful!
Originally, Sun Boyi and his party were inside Tianxing City, where they had set up a Heaven’s Illusionary Formation outside the city.
Neither Cloud Soaring Palace nor Earth Demon Hall could break through it, but somehow those people approached Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall, not only helping them break through the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation but also enabling Li Dongtian and Mo Wusha to step into the peak of the Transcendent Realm overnight.
It’s truly inconceivable!
To think that the previous Ancient Martial Punisher was only at the middle stage of the Transcendent Realm.”
“Speaking of the former Ancient Martial Punisher Ouyang Bai, I remember the life-and-death battle between Ye Chenfeng and Ouyang Bai a year ago.
It was truly earth-shattering and soul-stirring!
Unfortunately, Ye Chenfeng and Ouyang Bai perished together in the end.
Otherwise, I believe Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall wouldn’t dare to act so brazenly.”
“You might say so, but now that Li Dongtian and Mo Wusha are both peak Transcendent Realm masters, even if Ye Chenfeng were still alive, what of it?
Ye Chenfeng was just a kid from the Secular World, after all.
Moreover, now that Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall have connected with the mysterious figures from the other side of the Heaven-reaching Sea, someone like Ye Chenfeng is hardly anything to fear.”
“Ye Chenfeng has become a thing of the past.
While he had his moments of glory a year ago, characters like him, I guarantee, are destined to be submerged in the river of history.
Besides, Ye Chenfeng is already dead.
Today, people related to Ye Chenfeng like Sun Boyi and the Red Flame Valley are bound to be annihilated by Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall in one fell swoop.”
…
As sect leader Li Dongtian of Cloud Soaring Palace and sect leader Mo Wusha of Earth Demon Hall listened to the discussions of the various major sects around them, their faces beamed with immense pride.
Since Ye Chenfeng’s emergence a year ago, they had lost face, especially after Ye Chenfeng and the Ancient Martial Punisher perished together, turning Ye Chenfeng into a legendary figure in the Ancient Martial World.
For a while, many were willing to join forces with Sun Boyi and Red Flame Valley, which had left Cloud Soaring Palace and Earth Demon Hall stewing in frustration.
Today, they could finally vent their long-suppressed anger.
