Transcending the Nine Heavens-Chapter 1504 - The Pinnacle Showdown
Chapter 1504 The Pinnacle Showdown
Xiao Chenyu passed through the territory of the Ye family. Ye Chenchen had already been waiting for him on the road. The two old friends met again after less than half a month, but it felt as if they were in a completely different world.
Ye Chenchen stood with his hands behind his back on the ancient tree-lined road, while Xiao Chenyu silently sat in the carriage. The two looked at each other in silence. After a long while, Ye Chenchen didn’t say a word and vanished in a flash. Xiao Chenyu closed his eyes and said softly, “Let’s go.”
The old friends met but didn’t exchange a single word or even telepathic communication. With just one glance, they already understood each other. Ye Chenchen returned to the Ye family, and Xiao Chenyu continued on his journey, everything was calm.
Ye Chenchen’s original intention was to persuade Xiao Chenyu to return, but with one glance, he sensed Xiao Chenyu’s determination to never go back, rendering further words unnecessary.
At this moment, a battle was unfolding in the northwest amidst the snowstorm. The Law Enforcer stood on the edge of a snowy cliff, wearing a black robe that fluttered in the wind. His black hair was parted in the middle, and his eyes were calm yet sharp as he contemplated.
He could feel the fierce aura behind him getting closer and closer. Ever since the day he had inadvertently revealed some of his divine consciousness while assisting Diwu Qingrou, he knew that he had been targeted, and he knew who it was.
Wu Chenfeng!
The Law Enforcer could only evade. His mission was not yet complete. Even facing Feng Yue and his wife, he was confident in defeating them, but against this person, he had no confidence.
For nearly a month, the two played a game of cat and mouse. But now, the Law Enforcer would no longer hide. During this month, he had used the immense pressure from his pursuer to hone his soul fusion and absorb the Heavenly Jade within his body. He had now reached a state of harmony.
He had broken through the final barrier!
The current Law Enforcer had achieved perfection and no longer feared anyone. Moreover, after this sudden breakthrough, he was eager to test his newfound strength.
Wu Chenfeng was the perfect candidate!
He stood with his hands behind his back, his black clothes and hair fluttering in the snowstorm as if he were about to soar into the sky. The heavy snowfall was dense and thick, but not a single flake touched him. They were gently repelled by an inexplicable force several feet away from his body.
His expression was calm, but his aura was overpowering. It was an absolute confidence that no one in the world could stand in his way!
The snowstorm suddenly intensified, and a white figure appeared twenty feet in front of the Law Enforcer, seemingly merged with the snow. The figure stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Law Enforcer indifferently.
Neither of them spoke.
They simply stared at each other quietly, a faint smile appearing at the corners of their mouths.
Within a hundred miles, all the snowflakes were shattered.
After a while, the Law Enforcer gently smiled, “You’ve arrived?”
As he spoke, his momentum suddenly retracted, and his body lightly retreated twenty yards. He deliberately left an area for the other person.
Wu Juecheng didn’t move forward but just smiled faintly, “You’re not running anymore?”
The Law Enforcer smiled lightly, “Why should I run?”
Wu Juecheng’s body floated forward, crossing the twenty-yard void and standing on the cliff, “Why?”
Wu Juecheng’s question seemed a bit confusing, but the Law Enforcer understood his meaning, “For myself.”
Wu Juecheng shook his head gently, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Then, he suddenly laughed loudly, “Exactly! Right! If a man doesn’t look out for himself, he’ll be destroyed by heaven and earth! This reason is truly excellent!”
The Law Enforcer didn’t speak, just responding with a smile.
Wu Juecheng, with his hands behind his back, said, “In these days, your strength has been steadily increasing; I can feel it. However, I won’t interrupt you. Not until now, when you’ve achieved perfection, do I appear to meet you.”
The Law Enforcer replied calmly, “You won’t interrupt me? Haha... That’s because you’re afraid. You’re scared that if you suddenly interrupt my growth, it’s because you fear my increasing strength. In that case, you would plant a demon in your heart; even if you could kill me, you wouldn’t dare.”
Wu Juecheng nodded, “That’s right; killing you is a small matter, but the demon in the heart is a big one!”
The Law Enforcer laughed heartily, “So you can only wait until now.”
Wu Juecheng, hands behind his back, stood unmoved like a rock, “Any time is the same for me. Killing you requires no preparation!”
The Law Enforcer chuckled, “We’ll see. Aren’t there any other questions you want to ask me?”
Wu Juecheng nodded slightly, “Yes, I have other questions for you. Back then, when you were seriously injured, how did you recover so quickly and become even stronger than before?”
The Law Enforcer laughed, “You know, I’m not Dongfang Badao!”
“You once said that you were Lou Wenlong!” Wu Juecheng’s eyes showed a hint of mockery, “But Lou Wenlong, as the rumors say... is a man of great loyalty, someone who keeps his word and never engages in cunning schemes. But you’re not.”
The Law Enforcer just smiled.
“Then who are you?” Wu Juecheng asked.
The Law Enforcer shook his head and laughed, “Let me answer your question first... When I was severely injured, the body Dongfang Badao left me was almost completely destroyed, and my internal organs were nearly shattered!”
“Moreover, all the vitality I’ve accumulated over the years turned into nothing, and for all these years, I’ve been relying on plundering vitality to eliminate and suppress Dongfang Badao’s remnant soul!” 𝐟r𝑒ℯ𝘄𝐞𝙗ｎov𝚎𝙡. 𝑐𝘰𝘮
“Although my body was severely damaged and devoid of life, the remnant soul of Dongfang Badao finally disappeared completely when his body died!” Law Enforcer said excitedly. “That was my chance! I should have died, but I realized that even though my body was dead, I wasn’t! That’s when I understood that this body had become a completely ownerless thing. So, I immediately used my power to slaughter the people of Medicine Valley and steal the Heaven Mending Jade. As you know, the Heaven Mending Jade is useful for people with dissipated souls, which means it’s useful for the dead. I used the disappearance and death of this body’s remnant soul to resolve part of the jade’s reincarnation power and transformed the remaining part into the Heavenly Life Essence!”
“I used the Heavenly Life Essence to rebuild this body, but there wasn’t enough Heaven Mending Jade, so I slaughtered Medicine Valley again and used all the Heaven Mending Jade for transformation and cultivation,” The Law enforcer continued. “Now, this body has been completely transformed into a predestined body with the essence of life. Due to this fortunate disaster, Dongfang Badao’s soul has completely vanished, and now every part of this body, even a single hair, is mine! It has nothing to do with Dongfang Badao anymore. And my divine power has reached its peak as a result!”
The Law Enforcer said with some sadness, “The soul energy of my brothers back then has also been refined by me and turned into my own power. So now, my strength is far greater than Ning Tianya’s!”
Wu Juecheng’s eyes flashed with anger, “Your brothers’ soul energy... you actually refined your brothers’ soul energy! They were your brothers!”
“The energy from a brother is still energy; energy is energy, regardless of whether it’s from a brother or a spouse!” The Law Enforcer replied coldly. “Besides, the enemy was so powerful that I couldn’t resist them at all... If I didn’t find a way, was I supposed to wait for death?”
“Despicable and shameless!” Wu Juecheng slowly spoke four words: “You are not worthy to be one of the Nine Tribulations!”
“Hahaha... Nine Tribulations, hahaha... What a load of dogshit!” The Law Enforcer laughed wildly, looking up at the sky. “Wu Juecheng, do you think the Nine Tribulations title means anything? I’m not worthy? Hahahaha... To hell with the Nine Tribulations! It’s the Nine Tribulations that are unworthy of me!”
Wu Juecheng’s eyes burned with rage as he clenched his teeth and said word by word, “You are heartless and cruel, worse than pigs and dogs! Back then, if it weren’t for your brothers, how many times would you have died? And now, you dare say such words!”
The Law Enforcer laughed heartily, tears streaming from his eyes. He bent over, clutching his stomach, gasping for breath. “Wu Juecheng... why don’t you say that without me, they would have died many times over?”
Wu Juecheng took a deep breath, and suddenly, an earth-shattering murderous intent erupted!
At this point, he didn’t want to say another word! All he wanted now was to destroy the man who had insulted what he held most precious and cherished!
“Tear it apart!” Wu Juecheng thought to himself. “The thing I treasure most in my life is brotherly bonds. The brothers from back then are still alive in my heart, and I remember every single thing they’ve done for me! I can vividly recall every detail about their appearances, body shapes, habits, family situations, personal preferences, catchphrases, and even some of the things they’ve said!”
“These are my treasures and my pillars of support – my brothers. Now, you have insulted the emotions of the Nine Tribulations and the brotherly bonds of the Nine Tribulations brothers! Even though the people you insult have nothing to do with me, the brotherly bonds between them and what I value most are the same!”
“Traitors have no right to insult such emotions!”
These thoughts were all in Wu Juecheng’s mind, but he didn’t say a word. He felt that if he spoke them aloud, it would be an insult to these words!
...
An awe-inspiring aura emerged, carrying the fury of collapsing skies and an earth-shattering murderous intent, like a tidal wave, crushing the Law Enforcer!
The Law Enforcer sneered, “Wu Juecheng, do you think you can still take me down easily?” He spread his arms, and the black robe suddenly fluttered. An indescribable momentum, accompanied by a kind of dignified evil, surged out. It was clearly evil, yet it gave a sense of grandeur!
Wu Juecheng’s eyes narrowed, but he remained silent, taking one step forward.
As he took the first step, the entire space violently shook. With the second step, the mountain beneath his feet trembled. With the third step, the surrounding area within a thousand miles shook simultaneously!
The entire space was filled with a violent atmosphere and suffocating killing intent!
He was an incredibly proud man. Since he had decided that his opponent was unworthy and not deserving of his words, he would not speak again until the battle was over!
The Law Enforcer’s long hair whipped wildly in the wind and snow, like a series of eerie black snakes, twisting and writhing in the air.
