Chapter 471 The Passage Opens
"Wan'er—!"
Yun Chen let out a mournful cry like a wild beast, struggling to crawl toward her, but this aggravated his terrible injuries, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood and his vision to go black.
"Wan'er!"
Holding his daughter's lifeless body, Lin Xuantong let out a heart-wrenching roar, a sound filled with endless regret, pain, and madness.
His aura fluctuated violently, with black energy and spiritual power churning uncontrollably.
"It was you! You killed her! It was you!"
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Yun Chen and Zhao Xiruo, who was fully activating the Chaos Pearl. All his grief transformed into a raging fury and murderous intent that burned everything away.
"I will tear you all to pieces!!"
He gently laid Lin Wan'er's body down, as if laying down the most precious treasure in the world, and then slowly stood up.
With each step he took to his feet, his killing intent and violent energy surged even more.
The terrifying pressure of the peak Nascent Soul cultivator was released without reservation, even causing the entire blood-red light barrier to tremble violently, making Elder Lei, Mu Bingyun, and others who were fighting involuntarily shudder.
"Oh no! Quickly, go and rescue Yun Chen!"
Elder Lei's expression changed drastically, and he rushed towards Yun Chen's direction.
However, at this moment, Lin Xuantong was completely consumed by grief and anger. No great cause or immortality could compare to avenging his daughter.
He ignored Elder Lei, his figure transforming into a black lightning bolt that tore through space, carrying an aura of annihilation, and rushed straight towards the heavily injured and fallen Yun Chen.
He wanted to tear this "culprit" to pieces first.
In that brief moment when Lin Xuantong's breath became unsteady due to extreme grief and his killing intent locked onto Yun Chen.
A chilling, incomparably clear sensation, like a spring gushing from the depths of a polar glacier, suddenly erupted in the area.
"Frost Arrow, go!"
Leng Hanyue had somehow appeared atop a dilapidated stone pillar not far away, holding a longbow that appeared to be carved from millennia-old ice.
The bowstring vibrated, and a deep blue arrow, formed entirely from the power of ultimate ice marrow, carrying the chill of freezing the soul and the speed of tearing through the void, struck Lin Xuantong's vital back with unparalleled precision, arriving after the arrow had struck.
This arrow was timed cleverly, angled ruthlessly, and contained the essence of Leng Hanyue's life's cultivation, forcing Lin Xuantong to turn around and deal with it.
"Humph!"
Although Lin Xuantong was enraged, his combat instincts as a peak Nascent Soul cultivator remained. Sensing the deadly threat behind him, he had no choice but to forcefully reverse his offensive and strike the ice marrow arrow with a backhand.
"boom!"
Ice shards flew everywhere, and a chill filled the air, momentarily halting Lin Xuantong's movement.
It's this moment.
"Lin Xuantong, stop!"
The purple lightning conjured by Elder Lei had already arrived, and the raging lightning dragon mercilessly blasted towards Lin Xuantong.
Mu Bingyun and Yu Shu Zhenren's attacks followed one after another, and the ice seal and clear light once again firmly entangled Lin Xuantong.
"Yun Chen!"
Bai Qingluo's figure appeared beside Yun Chen at this moment.
Although her face was still pale, her eyes were firm. She quickly squatted down and stuffed several healing pills, which exuded a strong vitality, into Yun Chen's mouth.
At the same time, he placed his palms against Yun Chen's back, continuously injecting pure and gentle spiritual energy to help stabilize his injuries and enhance the medicinal effects.
"Senior Sister..." Yun Chen felt the destructive energy raging within his body being slightly suppressed, and his shattered bones and internal organs beginning to slowly repair themselves under the influence of medicine and spiritual energy. He spoke with difficulty.
"Don't speak, focus on healing!" Bai Qingluo whispered, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. Her own injuries were not yet fully healed, but she was giving it her all at this moment.
Liu Yanran and Shen Nan stood on either side of Yun Chen and Bai Qingluo, like two guardian deities protecting them.
Liu Yanran's short blade flashed as her sharp eyes scanned any potential enemies who might approach.
Shen Nan planted his long sword on the ground, lightning crackling around him. Despite his numerous wounds, he exuded a murderous aura that made the Shadow Serpent Clan cultivators and the traitors from the Taixu Palace hesitant to approach.
The situation has temporarily reached a stalemate.
Lin Xuantong was held back by the three masters. Although he was furious, he was unable to break through for the time being.
Yun Chen was given a precious chance to catch his breath and, with Bai Qingluo's help, focused on healing his injuries.
The other surviving cultivators took the opportunity to fight and retreat, moving towards the center of the plaza.
However, the devouring power of the blood sacrifice array continued, and with each moment of delay, everyone's condition deteriorated.
Just as the fierce battle raged on, with both sides locked in a stalemate, and the outcome seemingly impossible—
"Boom!!!"
A dazzling beam of light, beyond description, suddenly shot into the sky from the center of the square, where Zhao Xiruo was located.
The beam of light was not a single color, but rather a chaotic, all-encompassing color, in which the sun, moon, and stars seemed to flow, and earth, water, fire, and wind surged.
The beam of light did not emit a destructive force, but rather a vast, ancient, and seemingly powerful force that could connect all the heavens and the myriad worlds.
At the core of the pillar of light was the Chaos Pearl, which was suspended in front of Zhao Xiruo's chest and was already connected to her aura.
Under Zhao Xiruo's tireless efforts and self-motivation, the massive amount of spiritual energy accumulated by the Chaos Pearl over several months was finally fully activated, transforming into this pillar of light that pierces through the void and connects the two realms.
Wherever the beam of light passed, the crimson light shield that enveloped the square and was constantly shrinking was forced back and melted away, as if ice and snow were meeting the spring sun.
At the end of the beam of light, space was violently torn apart, and a stable, magnificent portal, exuding the aura of endless stars, slowly took shape.
Beyond the portal, what was no longer a phantom projection was a real, tangible scene of the meteorite ruins.
Broken ancient stars float in the air, their remains stretching like mountains, and endless starlight flowing silently through the void like a river.
An aura of vastness, antiquity, and both opportunity and danger swept over us.
Zhao Xiruo successfully activated the passage to the Meteor Ruins with the power of the Chaos Pearl, and it was completely opened!
This sudden and dramatic change brought all the fighting on the battlefield to a standstill.
Everyone's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the towering pillar of light and the star portal.
"The passage is open! Everyone, proceed to the Meteorite Ruins immediately!"
Elder Lei's roar was like thunder, instantly waking everyone up: "Forget about the limit of one hundred people, let's get out of here first."
In a life-or-death situation, who cares about rules and restrictions?
Almost the instant Elder Lei finished speaking, the surviving cultivators, whether they were disciples of the Daoist lineage or cultivators from ordinary sects, surged towards the star portal like a flood bursting its banks.
The previous rule stipulated that no more than 100 people could enter the Meteorite Ruins because too many people would accelerate its collapse and disintegration.
The Nascent Soul being forbidden from entering is also this Nascent Soul.
But now that we're facing a life-or-death situation, we can't worry about anything else.
If these tens of thousands of people really die here, allowing the so-called god to be resurrected in Japan, it would be another disaster for Great Xia.
