My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 877 Fear (Two chapters combined)

A dazzling azure sword light descended from the heavens, sweeping in with an irresistible and terrifying sharpness.

The heavens and the void seemed to be severed at that moment.

Simultaneously,

An invisible, subtle pressure locked onto the two of them!
In the desolate forest, Situ Yuan and Shi Mengting's expressions changed drastically at the same time!

The aura emanating from this sword beam that pierced the sky was not strong, probably only around the early stage of the Divine Travel Realm.

But among these,

However, it contained a mysterious power fluctuation that made Situ Yuan feel a chill run down his spine!

His senses were heightened by the sword light before him, and he became frantically alert.

Instinct told him,
If you don't dodge,

will die! ! !

The impending death crisis caused Situ Yuan's heart to stop for a moment!
Compared to him,
Shi Mengting's reaction was even worse!
Although she was the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, her cultivation level was ultimately only at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm!

Even Situ Yuan, who was at the peak of the fourth level of the Divine Realm, felt a chill run down his spine in the face of this aura fluctuation.

How could she possibly resist?!
Boom! ! !

The sword's edge hasn't arrived yet.
But in an instant, Shi Mengting's mind was filled with a roar, all her thoughts were scattered and shattered, and her mind became a complete blank!

The sword light was still dozens of feet away.
But at this moment, Shi Mengting felt a terrifying sensation, as if she were being pierced by a thousand arrows.
At this moment, she felt as if she had fallen into an endless abyss of despair. The terrifying cold air around her enveloped her, freezing her blood and making it impossible for her to move even a finger!
It can be said,
If Shi Mengting were alone here at this moment, facing such a sword light that pierced through the void from an unknown distance, she would almost certainly die!

However, for Shi Mengting...

Fortunately,

Situ Yuan, who was beside him, was ultimately only at the mid-stage of the Divine Travel Realm.
And now, he

I don't want to completely give up on Shi Mengting's storyline yet.

then,

Just as the sword's edge reached him, Situ Yuan flicked his sleeve, unleashing a powerful, almost tangible force that surged through the void, extending outwards and sweeping over Shi Mengting beside him.
He then retreated dozens of feet!
"boom--!"

Where the sword light struck, its terrifying sharpness was unleashed at that moment, turning the earth, soil, rocks, and trees along its path into dust without any hindrance!
The earth shook violently, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Heavy bursts of energy, carrying smoke and dust, erupted from all directions, also serving to block everything around them!
After a short while,
The violent turmoil had only just subsided.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust,

A sword mark that ran for thousands of feet split the ground like a small canyon, and the residual power it released even split a small mountain behind it in half!
But what's even more horrifying is that...

On both sides of the sword mark in the canyon, the vegetation is withered and decayed, as if life and time have been drained away!

But at this time,

Neither Situ Yuan nor Shi Mengting had time to pay attention to these things.

At this moment, their pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints as they stared intently at the figure that was walking through the air.

"Shen Changchuan? How could it be you?!"

At this moment, Shen Changchuan was dressed in a green robe, and his appearance was not much different from what Situ Yuan and the others remembered.

After all, only a year or two has passed.

But at this moment,
Both Situ Yuan and Shi Mengting looked at Shen Changchuan with disbelief on their faces!

because,

At this moment, the aura emanating from Shen Changchuan was clearly that of a being in a state of divine travel!

and,

Around him, there were faint ripples of the true meaning of time, and the cycle of withering and flourishing seemed to cause the life of plants within a hundred feet to be caught in the alternation of death and rebirth!
The terrifying power of that emanating true meaning of time,
This instilled a deep-seated fear in both of them!
This fear,

Not the fear of facing a powerful enemy,

It's a form of oppression on a fundamental level of life!
For a moment,

In a daze, Shi Mengting even felt as if she had returned to the time when she was facing the most powerful ancestors in the Profound Core Realm!
Yes,

It's a similar feeling!

The former is only one-thousandth of the latter!

"How could this be?! How did you advance to the Divine Ascension Realm?!"

Situ Yuan, however, did not notice having such a feeling.
He just stared blankly at Shen Changchuan, and spoke in disbelief.

He had no choice but to react this way.

According to the information he collected,

How long has it been since Shen Changchuan advanced to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm?

It seems like it's only been three or four years, right?

Ordinary cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage,
Do not,
Even among the inner disciples of immortal sects, those disciples who are considered geniuses need to hone their skills for an average of more than ten years after reaching the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage before they can successfully overcome that bottleneck!
After all, the threshold from the Out-of-Body Realm to the Divine Travel Realm is far less difficult than the transformation from the Divine Travel Realm to the Profound Core Realm.

But for many people, that is an insurmountable abyss that they can never cross in their entire lives!

But now,
This kid in front of me, in just three or four years, has already crossed that hurdle?

And that's not even the most important thing!
the most important is,

There's something fishy about their promotion!
Situ Yuan was not unfamiliar with the newly promoted geniuses of the Immortal Sects who had just advanced to the Divine Travel Realm.

But never before has a genius from a celestial sect possessed such terrifying strength after just entering the Divine Travel Realm!

That sword light actually made him feel like he was about to die!
And at this very moment

The other party stood there, suspended in mid-air, without deliberately emitting any aura.

Can be biased,
His intuition was frantically alerting him at that moment!
Danger, danger!
Great danger!
The other party gave him an extremely terrifying sense of danger!

"How can this be?!"

"Even if he's a genius, he's only just advanced to the Divine Ascension Realm!"

"How could anything possibly make me feel such a great sense of crisis!"

Cold sweat involuntarily seeped from his forehead.

Situ Yuan's unease grew even stronger at this moment!
Shen Changchuan's figure slowly descended from mid-air.
His gaze swept over the two of them, completely indifferent, with little expression.

"A direct disciple of a prestigious immortal sect is staying with the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and they're getting along perfectly well."

"Senior Brother Situ, it seems you've not only betrayed Master, but you also intend to betray the Immortal Sect!"

Shen Changchuan spoke calmly.
His gaze swept over the two of them.
Looking at the four unconscious people beside Han Qiuyue,
After confirming that they had only been knocked unconscious, I felt a little relieved.

His earlier, unexpected sword strike seemed to have knocked them back several dozen feet.
This allowed Wu Tianhao and the others, who were already unconscious, to escape from their clutches and avoid becoming hostages.

Or rather, they are used as a shield, making one hesitant and timid.

This preemptive strike was devastating.
It did indeed play its role very well.

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but nod slightly.

Wow!
Shen Changchuan stretched out his hand, his palm glowing with emerald green light. He lightly touched the air with his fingertips, creating ripples of green light.

immediately,

Four vibrant green rays of light shot from their fingertips and entered the four individuals' bodies. This was accompanied by the abundant life force condensed by the Yi Wood Undying Sutra.
The injuries inside the four bodies healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Consciousness is also awakened accordingly.

He recovered from his coma.

The four, regaining their senses from their daze, immediately tensed up, their magical power flowing through them as they gripped their weapons, ready to unleash a terrifying attack.

Instinctively, I wanted to fight.

But it happened very quickly.
When they regained consciousness, they saw Shen Changchuan and Situ Yuanshi facing off.

"Junior Brother Shen?!"

Faced with their sudden appearance here,

Moreover, Shen Changchuan, who seemed to be confronting Situ Yuan and another person not far away,

Those who had just regained consciousness were all momentarily stunned.

Not sure what happened.

"Senior brothers and sisters, this place is dangerous. You should leave first."

Without waiting for them to say anything,
Shen Changchuan flicked his sleeve, and a tangible magical power spread out, enveloping the four of them in an irresistible and immense force.

In the next instant, he was flung away like a streak of light.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into light and disappeared into the sky behind it.

After entering the realm of spiritual travel

Not only did their magical power undergo a significant increase and transformation,
Along with this, their divine soul and control over magical power were also further enhanced.

Shen Changchuan's move,
There's no need to worry about them getting hurt.

At this time,
Watching Shen Changchuan's movements,

From this point onward,

Neither Situ Yuan nor Shi Mengting made any move, letting him do as he pleased.

Shi Mengting simply lacked the ability.

They have no right to stop it.

Now, facing Shen Changchuan again after several years, the attitude she once had towards him—looking down on him as a weakling—has completely vanished.

Instead, it feels like one has become an ant, facing towering mountains and colossal peaks!
It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; facing an overwhelming force, you have no way to resist and feel like you'll be crushed to pieces in the next moment!
no doubt,

That person who caused her so much trouble and ruined her grand plans...
If it weren't for the arrival of the Seven Immortals, this young man could have been easily captured with minimal effort.

At this moment, he has completely grown into a powerful opponent that I cannot defeat!
Shi Mengting was momentarily lost in thought!

That feeling,

It was like an ant that I could have crushed with my bare hands, but years later it grew into a dragon and appeared before me!

The opponent's mere aura was enough to render him unable to move!

this moment,
Shi Mengting's mind was a blank.
My mind is filled with countless intertwined thoughts, a complex mess that's hard to untangle.

As for Situ Yuan
He did not stop Shen Changchuan's actions.
That's simply because they don't dare!
Yes,

I don’t dare!
At that moment, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his whole body was stiff!

He didn't know why this was happening.
The person before him should only be at the initial stage of the Divine Travel Realm.

In contrast, he had already entered the Divine Travel Realm for decades, and even raised his cultivation to the peak of the fourth level of the Divine Travel Realm!
But why?
How could one feel such fear towards a mere child who has just entered the realm of divine travel?!
He couldn't understand it.
But he trusted his gut feeling!
That trembling feeling from the bottom of his heart was telling him one thing—the person in front of him was far more powerful than him, and could even pose a threat to his life!

"This is impossible!"

Situ Yuan's teeth were clenched, and he seemed to be gritting his teeth.

He couldn't believe it was real!
No matter what, that brat on the other side is only at the initial stage of the Divine Travel Realm. How could he possibly pose such a great threat to me?!

Situ Yuan couldn't understand it!
Regarding his inner thoughts,

Shen Changchuan, of course, had no idea.

After seeing off Wu Tianhao and his three companions, there were no more burdens present.

Shen Changchuan's gaze returned to the two people in front of him.

His gaze swept over the two of them, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"It seems that the two of you are the ones who will deal with me!"

"However, as a direct disciple of the Immortal Sect, why would he cooperate with a Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Immortal Sect's mortal enemy, to ambush and kill a junior genius of the Immortal Sect?"

"Situ Yuan, your actions are absolutely those of a traitor!"

"I will kill you right here and now, and no one will be able to say a word!"

Shen Changchuan's tone was chilling and icy.

As his words fell,
There was a deathly silence in the air.

Situ Yuan's face turned ashen.
No words were spoken.

Big trouble,
The other person recognized me!
At this moment, he was dressed in black night clothes, his face was covered with a black cloth, and even his facial features had been altered to resemble different body parts.

Normal people basically can't see through his identity.

And doing this is naturally to conceal one's identity to a certain extent.

If the deceased knew his identity, the Immortal Sect's direct enforcement hall might very well use some supreme treasures to track him down.

But as a result,
All the disguises I made were completely ineffective.

You were seen through at a glance?!

At this moment, Situ Yuan's already cold heart became even colder!
This little devil,
Weird!
He didn't know that Shen Changchuan was a Divine Travel Realm cultivator who had advanced from the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao.

As someone who has advanced from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Divine Travel Realm, Shen Changchuan's perception abilities are far superior to those of ordinary Divine Travel Realm cultivators.

Little did he know that, therefore, his so-called pretense was essentially meaningless in Shen Changchuan's eyes at this moment!

All he knew was that this kid was too strange!
Entering the Divine Travel Realm for the first time immediately instilled in him a great sense of crisis, despite his peak fourth level of the Divine Travel Realm.
He saw right through my carefully crafted disguise!

Such ability,

This is something that ordinary geniuses simply cannot do!
"Hmph! It doesn't matter to me!"

"What Jade Purity Immortal Sect, what Heavenly Demon Sect, they're nothing but..."

boom! ! !
The space in front of him suddenly shattered like a mirror, and a silver light tore through the vacuum in an instant, appearing on Shen Changchuan's face like lightning!
Situ Yuan hadn't finished speaking when

Or,

He had no intention of wasting words with Shen Changchuan.

Those seemingly conversational words were merely a pretense to lower Shen Changchuan's guard.

So, midway through his conversation, he immediately launched his attack at zero frames, unleashing his strongest and most secretive destructive move, which he aimed directly at Shen Changchuan's face!
This attack was incredibly fast, powerful, and timed so insidiously.
He even killed an enemy who was once at the sixth level of the Divine Realm with this move!

Faced with Shen Changchuan, who was causing him an unprecedented sense of unease,

Situ Yuan did not hesitate at all.

With one move,

That is the most ruthless killing move!
