Chapter 307: Uninvited Guests from Another World! |
[Shen Yue and the others were utterly confused.]
["What Path to Immortality?"]
["Hmph, you human world natives, I suggest you wise up and confess honestly! Don't force us to get rough!"]
["We truly don't know anything about a Path to Immortality! We've never even heard of it!"]
["Ha, you think just because you beat a Dragon-Man expeditionary force, you've restored your ancestors' glory and can look down on us Winged Clan?"]
[A winged man directly erupted with sky-piercing battle intent, hurling a punch at Shen Yue and the others!]
["Why waste words on a bunch of natives?! If they won't talk, we'll kill until they do!"]
[The winged man's fist slammed into an aged, withered palm.]
[That hand looked like skin wrapped around bones, so frail it seemed like it could snap at any moment.]
["I never thought I'd encounter another alien race right as my end draws near... It's been so long since I've felt combat power maxed out..."]
[The winged men looked at their comrade who'd been flung away, then looked at you.]
[They were wondering when you had charged forward.]
[They hadn't even noticed your presence before, thinking you were just an old man basking in the sun in the courtyard.]
["Old fool! Tell us where the Path to Immortality is! Otherwise, we'll go on a killing spree in the human world! As it stands now, the human world probably can't withstand five late-stage Qi Transformation cultivators, can it?!"]
[From what the Dragon-Men had said earlier, you had already guessed it.]
[Martial King, Martial Saint, and Martial God were actually all the same realm - the Qi Transformation realm.]
[It's just that people in the Void Realm didn't use those terms.]
[Even the Dragon-Men preferred calling them King, Saint, and God tiers - probably because those titles sounded cooler.]
[You spoke with an amused tone.]
["I'm looking for the Path to Immortality too. Want to search together?"]
[The winged men were extremely displeased with your flippant tone.]
["Old fool! Do you think we're joking with you?! Do you have any idea how many resources the five of us burned through to reach the human world just to find the Path to Immortality?! If you don't tell us today, we'll send you to the Underworld early!"]
["Why do you keep calling me 'old fool'? If we're being honest, you lot are probably older than me... Anyway, what makes you so certain the Path to Immortality is in the human world?"]
["Ridiculous! The human world is the Ancestral Realm, of course it has the Path to Immortality!"]
["What Ancestral Realm?"]
["You've reached late-stage Qi Transformation for nothing! You don't know anything!"]
[Just then, another winged man pulled out a strange Spirit Artifact that looked like a string of pearls.]
[He aimed this string of pearls at you, as if conducting some kind of scan.]
[Then he exclaimed in shock.]
["Chen Yi! He's Chen Yi! The number one bounty target for the Dragon-Men! If we can kill him, the Dragon-Men will reward us with ten planes!"]
[The other winged men showed astonished expressions.]
[As if they couldn't believe the legendary Chen Yi had already aged to this extent.]
[You clasped your hands behind your back, turning your profile to them, striking a master's pose.]
["Since you know who I am, leave immediately. Don't think you can run rampant in the human world. You're no match for me."]
[One winged man let out a scornful laugh.]
["Chen Yi! Do you think we're afraid of you?! It's impressive that you led the human world to victory over a Dragon-Man expeditionary force, and truly admirable that you defeated the Heaven Venerable and Earth Venerable in that army! But... You're old! You're already up to your neck in dirt! Long past your prime! Who's afraid of a decrepit old man on his last legs?!"]
[You nearly burst out laughing.]
[Indeed, the martial path humans cultivated was a bit of a young man's game.]
[Not only did advancing become drastically harder with age, but even combat effectiveness was affected once Vitality Energy declined.]
[Many old martial artists had emergency methods to ensure they wouldn't be affected by aging in the short term.]
[But you were on a whole other level.]
[What "old"? What "declining Vitality Energy"? What "up to your neck in dirt"?]
[Go argue with my "Ginger Gets Spicier With Age"!]
[One winged man said impatiently.]
["Stop wasting words with them! Let's find the human world's Guardian! He definitely knows where the Path to Immortality is! If he won't talk, we'll extract his soul and torment it for eternity!"]
[Ding!]
[Keyphrase triggered.]
[The relaxed and carefree you from a moment ago suddenly radiated bone-chilling killing intent!]
[Shen Yue and the others hastily retreated a safe distance, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.]
[They even thought these five aliens were incredibly bold.]
[Who in the world didn't know that the current Guardian of the human world, the Female Emperor of Great Qian, was the Sword Wielder's beloved?]
[The Guardian served as the common sovereign, protecting the human race.]
[The Sword Wielder protected the Guardian.]
[And they wanted to touch the Guardian?]
[Were they always this bold?]
[Even those five aliens sensed something was wrong.]
[The old man who seemed ready to keel over at any moment suddenly grew towering and majestic.]
["Damn native, actually daring to emit killing intent toward us! You're asking for death!"]
[In the final year of his life.]
[You and the five uninvited guests from another world erupted into the final battle of your existence.]
["Heartsteel"!]
["The Most Severe Father to Non-Humans"!]
["Qilin Arm"!]
["Trait Slingshot"!]
["Calamity of Ten Thousand Races"!]
["Irritable Constitution"!]
["Super Saiyan"!]
["Green Giant"!]
["Serious Punch"!]
[...]
[All twelve volumes of trait tags, each volume brought down on their heads!]
[The human world's Sword Wielder, with little lifespan remaining, wielded four Great Dao Immortal Artifacts and beat those five alien divine-rank cultivators so badly they fled with their heads down and cried for their parents.]
[Shen Yue and the others remained perfectly calm.]
[They protected Baiyun County, ensuring the shockwaves of battle didn't harm your adopted son and fellow townsfolk.]
[Being able to do that much was already commendable.]
[They had enough self-awareness never to come and cause you trouble.]
[Everyone in the world knew that the current Sword Wielder's combat power skyrocketed against alien races; he was a natural-born alien killer.]
[The common folk of Baiyun County once again witnessed your heroic bearing, dreaming back to the day of the Seven Luminaries' dimensional ascent.]
["It's God Yi!"]
["I never thought the old man from the eastern courtyard was God Yi!"]
["I even delivered vegetables to that courtyard before, and God Yi said my produce was fresh!"]
["So God Yi has been living in our Baiyun County all along!"]
[Your usual decrepit, old-man appearance had made it impossible for anyone to connect you with a great deity.]
[Now, with your imposing presence dominating all directions and butchering foes left and right, that familiar heroic battle intent and unique combat style made people recognize you at a glance.]
[Under your iron fists, the Winged Men's arrogance quickly turned into pleas for mercy.]
["Talk! Where's the Path to Immortality in the human world?!"]
[That was your question.]
[The five Winged Men all found it absurd.]
[Wasn't it they who were the outsiders? Why was a local asking them instead?]
