Chapter 559: Chapter 559, The Pursuit
Chu Ming’s face darkened. The situation he least wanted to face had finally emerged. The expert who wanted to enter the Ancient Battlefield must come from the Blood Cloud Palace. Although there were many experts in the Blood Cloud Palace, those with top tier king-level combat power were only the Palace Master and the Seven Array King Bei Mo.
He had underestimated Bei Mo’s determination to avenge Bei Yun, even if it went against some of the orders from the Life and Death Palace.
Whoosh!
Chu Ming threw out the Flying Shuttle, leaped onto it, transformed into a stream of light, and flew towards the center of the Ancient Battlefield. The blood gate appeared on the western side of the battlefield, and Chu Ming flew in the opposite direction.
"Humph!" A cold snort came from behind the blood-colored portal. A huge blood-red hand exerted force, pried open a corner of the portal, and a large foot squeezed through.
Rumble!
In an instant, the world exploded. Unmatched divine power surged out, meeting the towering disaster clouds in the sky.
Immense heavenly power clashed with terrifying divine power. Between the two, the void shattered, the world trembled, and that piece of the world was collapsing.
Everyone who saw this scene was completely stunned. Is this the might of a Life and Death Realm King? It’s like a god, terrifying beyond measure. Even the heavenly tribulation couldn’t affect it, and the vast aura was so oppressive that it left everyone gasping for breath.
"Who killed Bei Yun?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind the blood-colored portal. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, unable to suppress shivers.
Even though the Seven Array King Bei Mo was still blocked behind the blood gate and couldn’t enter the place completely, his large hand tightly gripped a Dark Battle Sword, its blade pointed at everyone.
At this moment, everyone felt the breath of impending death, as if one foot had stepped into Ghost Gate. If Bei Mo swung his sword, they would undoubtedly die.
Chu Ming, fleeing in the distance, felt it most acutely. In the unseen realm, the eyes of a god had locked onto him, as though he couldn’t escape no matter how far he fled.
"Want to escape? Can you?"
Behind the blood gate, the voice of Bei Mo was icy cold, devoid of any emotion.
At this moment, the large hand stretched out from behind the blood portal lifted the Dark Battle Sword high, and a dazzling sword light erupted from the sword’s body, sweeping across in all directions.
Rumble!
The entire Ancient Battlefield shook.
In this Ancient Battlefield, everyone trembled under the sword light. Chu Ming felt a heavy oppression in his chest, and when he turned to look, he saw a terrifying sword aura tearing through the void, chasing after him, obliterating the space along the way, annihilating everything.
Crunch!
Boom!
The Flying Shuttle shook, instantly shifting to the right, narrowly dodging the terrifying sword light. The sword light struck the ground, instantly cutting out a hundred-mile-long chasm, with dirt on both sides frantically collapsing inward.
"Hmm? Not bad speed!"
Bei Mo was slightly surprised, but anyone could hear the fury in his words.
Boom!
The Dark Battle Sword fell again, its terrifying sword aura seemingly intending to annihilate everything in the cosmos. In the sky, disaster clouds surged once more, birthing terrifying lightning, its immense aura making the blood gate tremble.
...
At the center of the Ancient Battlefield, a dozen members of the Lin Family, dressed in black robes, stared solemnly at the western sky. Even here, they could feel the divine power permeating the heavens and earth, as if they were experiencing it firsthand.
"Could it be that a king has discovered our tracks?"
One of the black-robed figures asked worriedly, glancing at Lin Steward. The resurrection of the dead defied natural order, and many forces on the continent had grudges with the Lin Family. If the Evil Wind Emperor revived, the situation would undoubtedly change dramatically.
"If a king discovered our tracks, the blood gate wouldn’t have appeared on the western side of the Ancient Battlefield."
Lin Steward, with a calm expression and hands folded behind his back, spoke lightly.
The other black-robed figures, upon hearing this, suddenly realized that indeed, a king’s arrival at the Ancient Battlefield against the Life and Death Palace’s will would have come at a significant cost. If it was for them, they would naturally descend upon the center of the battlefield.
"Whoever caused the king to personally act must be bold indeed."
Realizing it had nothing to do with them, one of the black-robed figures sighed.
"Don’t concern yourselves with others. The Undying Tree’s shedding of leaves is imminent. You must remain vigilant. At this time, nothing must go wrong, or we will all be criminals of the Lin Family."
Lin Steward’s face was stern, his eyes solemn, as he instructed the black-robed figures.
"Yes, Steward."
The black-robed figures clasped their hands in respect, not daring to show disobedience.
The resurrection of the Evil Wind Emperor was already complicated. It was the most important matter for the Lin Family. The future revival of the Lin Family depended on the Evil Wind Emperor.
...
Boom!
In the distant sky, Chu Ming struggled to maintain the Flying Shuttle’s flight. With the space of the Ancient Battlefield blocking it, Bei Mo couldn’t exert his full power, but each sword strike was still beyond Chu Ming’s ability to withstand.
Swish!
At the critical moment when the sword light was about to strike, a terrifying white light resembling a star traversed the sky, obliterating heaven and earth, emerging from the disaster clouds, tearing the space with each inch splits, its destructive aura making all beings’ souls tremble, as if any movement defied destiny.
Buzz!
Crunch!
The white light pierced through the blood gate, causing it to tremble, spreading cracks from the collision point. Everyone held their breath, not daring to move a muscle.
"I’m furious!"
Bei Mo’s angry curse came from behind the blood portal. Under the white light’s piercing, the blood gate melted visibly, and within a few breaths, the terrifying hand and foot were repelled out of the gate.
Boom!
Another blinding seam traversed the sky, and with a crunching noise, the blood gate, like a red sun, shattered in the white light, with blood spewing out and forming a hot blood-colored swamp on the ground, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.
Whew!
Only at this moment did everyone react, still wearing expressions of lingering fear on their faces. The day’s developments had left them deeply shocked.
Tens of thousands of miles away, Chu Ming, fleeing for his life, saw the blood gate shatter and breathed a sigh of relief. He had little spiritual power left in his body. If the blood gate had held even a moment longer, he would have been unable to escape.
Whoosh!
Stopping in front of a palace ruin, Chu Ming found a hidden place, took out two Upper Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring, and held them in his hands, silently restoring the spiritual power within his body.
At this moment, the Ancient Battlefield was in chaos, with many martial artists heading towards the blood-colored swamp. After all, it was the attack of a top tier king, containing Bei Mo’s secret technique residue, and even a slight comprehension would be greatly beneficial.
