Chapter 930: Chapter 821: Taking the Lead to Breakthrough

In order to investigate further, Chu Xuanji searched for Ye Fan and publicly made a breakthrough in the Early-Stage War God Realm in a defiant manner, entering the Holy Land, which garnered admiration from most of those present.

Lv Zhan, Xiao Selang, Ye Hei, and Wu Zi all originally wanted to enter as well, but they were detained by their elders and felt extremely distressed. _{fre ewe bnove l.com}

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...

As Chu Xuanji, Chu Ji, and the Early-Stage War Gods of the three major clans entered the Holy Land for the ranking competition, Yan wasted no time, immediately waving his hands, and once again infused Gang Qi into the Investiture of the Gods, activating the formation.

Inside the Holy Land, as Chu Xuanji and others appeared, a light enveloped them, and they vanished instantly, reappearing in the Holy Land of the finals.

Chu Xuanji and the other six did not feel any surprise about this—they entered the Holy Land, not to hunt mutant beasts, but to find the whereabouts of Ye Fan and others.

The finals’ Holy Land was not that large, and the towering Holy Mountain in the center was particularly striking, which Chu Xuanji noticed immediately, advancing towards it without a second thought.

Chu Ji and the six Early-Stage War Gods from the three major clans did the same!

Meanwhile, outside the Holy Land, Yan and Xu Tianqi once again infused Gang Qi into the Investiture of the Gods, activating its formation.

Moments later, the Investiture of the Gods shimmered, and a projection reappeared.

This time, it featured Chu Xuanji.

Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Xuanji maintained a stern expression, sprinting quickly, and ignoring the Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beasts he encountered along the way, easily outpacing them with sheer speed.

However—

As he approached the Holy Mountain, the number of mutant beasts increased, forcing Chu Xuanji to kill a few that blocked his path.

"Instant... instakill!"

"Evil Emperor has just broken through to the Early-Stage War God Realm, yet he can instakill the king among Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beasts, truly astonishing!"

"What’s so surprising about that? The Evil Emperor once stood at the pinnacle. His combat experience and martial arts insight cannot be matched by young geniuses, compensating for his lack of strength."

"Indeed! Moreover, don’t forget that the Evil Emperor broke through to the Early-Stage War God Realm in a special manner, different from us!"

Seeing Chu Xuanji take action, the silence in the canyon was broken, and the young contestants and cultivators watching the competition began to buzz with discussion.

Even the strong people from the War God Alliance in the sky were somewhat moved by this.

The only ones who remained unfazed were Yan and the six Supreme Strongmen like Xu Tianqi.

Like the former Chu Xuanji, they had all once stood at the pinnacle, and they knew that Chu Xuanji’s combat experience and martial arts insight surpassed even theirs.

"Although the Evil Emperor can easily kill Early-Stage War God Level Mutant Beasts, it might not be the same if he encounters a Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beast."

As Chu Xuanji started ascending the Holy Mountain, a cultivator voiced his opinion.

As his words fell, Chu Xuanji encountered another mutant beast.

It was a Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beast, blocking the path up the mountain. If Chu Xuanji wanted to climb successfully, he had to kill it.

"Can the Evil Emperor defeat a Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beast?"

Seeing the ferocious Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beast on the projection, most cultivators in the canyon were struck with this doubt.

Swish!

Within the Holy Land, Chu Xuanji responded with action. With a flash of his body, he charged at the Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beast, throwing a punch!

"Xuansha Fist" Killing Move, ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’ Ninth Layer!

Chu Xuanji never struck lightly, always going for the kill.

The same "Xuansha Fist", the same ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’, but when Chu Xuanji used it, its power far exceeded Ye Fan’s.

However—

Even so, Chu Xuanji’s punch hit the Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beast, but he was unable to deliver a one-hit kill, not even inflicting a fatal injury on the beast.

This was all because he had just broken through the Early-Stage War God Realm, with his Gang Qi’s quality and power simply too weak.

"So strong!"

Even so, this result still exceeded the expectations of most people, causing them to exclaim in surprise.

Then, before they could recover from their shock, Chu Xuanji pressed on, continuing his attack, relying on his rich combat experience to relentlessly assault and eventually blow apart the Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beast after eighteen punches!

This scene deeply impressed the young geniuses and observing cultivators!

In their view, even though Chu Xuanji had just broken through to the Early-Stage War God Realm, in terms of combat power, he was certainly not inferior to supreme geniuses like Xu Wudao and others, but he couldn’t compare to the exceptional Ye Fan.

Chu Xuanji took the Beast Core and immediately absorbed its energy to replenish his depleted Gang Qi.

After finishing all that, Chu Xuanji made no stops and continued his ascent.

Subsequently, Chu Xuanji’s luck improved, encountering no other powerful Mid-stage War God Level Mutant Beasts, and successfully arrived at the entrance to the Forbidden Land.

The Forbidden Land, which is specifically targeted at human cultivators, seemed to exert some deterrence towards mutant beasts too—there were no mutant beasts in its vicinity.

Upon reaching the entrance to the Forbidden Land, Chu Xuanji did not immediately enter but advanced to carefully examine the words on the Stele at the entrance, pondering over them for a long time.

Then, he sat cross-legged and entered a meditation state.

Seeing this, everyone understood that Chu Xuanji was waiting for Chu Ji.

As everyone anticipated, Chu Xuanji was indeed waiting for Chu Ji.

After half a day, Chu Ji finally arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden Land.

Unlike Chu Xuanji, she was not alone but was accompanied by six Early-Stage War Gods from the other three clans.

"Master Chu!"

The six Early-Stage War Gods were surprised to see Chu Xuanji arrive first, exchanged glances, and then stepped forward to greet him.

"Ji, let’s go in."

Chu Xuanji completely ignored the six Early-Stage War Gods from the three major clans, stood up, and addressed Chu Ji.

"Yes, Master!"

Chu Ji responded immediately, nodded, and then approached to hold Chu Xuanji’s arm, like a daughter supporting her father, as they entered the Holy Land together.

"A half-disabled person, what’s so proud?"

An Early-Stage War God from the Huang Jin Family snorted coldly.

"Heh, maybe he still thinks of himself as the former Evil Emperor!"

A warrior at the Early-Stage War God Realm from the Xu Family smirked coldly and suggested, "Since Chu Xuanji doesn’t appreciate the courtesy, there’s no need to pay attention to him. I propose we enter together for mutual support. What do you all think?"

"Agreed!"

The other five Early-Stage War Gods nodded in agreement.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of the crowd outside the Holy Land, six Early-Stage War Gods from the three major families entered the Forbidden Land together.

At this point, the projection on the Investiture of the Gods disappeared once again.

...

Seeing Chu Xuanji walk resolutely into the Forbidden Land, Yan couldn’t help but let out a sigh in his heart. He asked himself if he could ever risk danger like Chu Xuanji to search for his disciple.

Because one’s status determines one’s decisions.

His identity and position dictated that he was destined not to live for himself in this lifetime!

Xu Tianqi, Mei Luo, and Rodriguez felt slightly relieved seeing that the Early-Stage War Gods of their own families had also entered the Holy Land.

They had prepared for the worst but still hoped for a miracle — that Xu Wudao, Anton, and Andre were not dead and had only yet to find a way out of the Forbidden Land!

Waiting is tormenting, and purposeless waiting is even more unbearable.

During the wait, three days passed in the blink of an eye. Neither Ye Fan and others who went in earlier nor the eight who entered later, including Chu Xuanji, had come out.

This led many to believe even more firmly that the Forbidden Land was extremely dangerous and that those who went in had all perished.

In such a situation, some chose to leave, and quite a few did, amounting to a quarter!

"Have they died?"

Those who stayed, including Yan, Xu Tianqi, and the six Supreme Strongmen, were all filled with this question.

...

On this day, in a valley within the Forbidden Land.

"Ha... hahaha... I’ve successfully broken through to the Mid-stage War God Realm!"

Wild laughter echoed in the valley, startling birds that flapped their wings away, as if a thousand-year-old demon had emerged!

With the cessation of laughter, a stone entrance was shattered from within, and amidst flying debris, a golden-haired youth stepped out of the cave with determined strides.

Andre!

After many days of seclusion, he was the first to break through to the Mid-stage War God Realm!

"From now on, I shall fear nothing in the Forbidden Land!"

Successfully breaking through inflated Andre’s confidence wildly. He unrestrainedly released his aura with a manic and sinister grin on his face, "Besides, it’s best if I encounter that bastard again! Damn it, for pursuing me! If I see him again, I’ll tear him to pieces and feed his flesh to the mutant beasts!!"

After saying this, Andre picked up his golden Big Spear, his figure blurred as he dashed out of the valley with astonishing speed.

Andre’s breakthrough to the Mid-stage War God Realm resulted in a significant boost in his power, and naturally, his speed was no exception.

All of this formed the foundation for his regained arrogance!

However—

Arrogant as he might be, there’s no denying that after his advancement, Andre’s power was undeniably formidable. Some of the ordinary Mid-stage War God level mutant beasts in the Forbidden Land were no match for him.

Even if encountered by a king among the Mid-stage War God level mutant beasts, they could hardly pose a significant threat to him and ended up dying at his hands one after another.

In half a day’s work, the number of mutant beasts he killed had exceeded double digits, and the count continued to rise!

"Pfft!"

After stabbing a mutant beast to death with his spear, Andre licked his somewhat parched lips, absorbed the Beast Core into his palm with a grasp.

Having done all this, Andre kept moving forward.

A moment later, he came upon a trickling mountain spring, ready to fetch water, when he suddenly sensed two auras. Upon careful examination, he realized they did not belong to Ye Fan, Su Liuli, or Anton!

This made him feel quite puzzled, and he found a concealed spot to hide.

Soon enough, while Andre was waiting, two old men in black cloaks arrived by the spring.

Huh?

Seeing the two black-clad elders, Andre’s pupils instantly dilated, his face full of astonishment!

Because the two black-clad figures were from the Huang Jin Family, considered among the strong at the Early-Stage War God Realm, their power was quite substantial, even comparable to his before his breakthrough.

"What brings you to the Forbidden Land?"

After overcoming his surprise, Andre stepped out of hiding and questioned the two old men.

Hmm?!

Hearing Andre’s voice, and seeing his safe condition, the two black-clad elders were at first stunned, then overjoyed!

"Master Andre, you’re safe, that’s wonderful!"

One of the black-clad elders exclaimed excitedly and then explained, "On the tenth day after that kid Ye forced you into the Forbidden Land, Chu Xuanji insisted on entering to search for his disciple; the Clan Leader sent us in to find you."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Andre’s eyes lit up, "You say the Evil Emperor Chu Xuanji entered the Forbidden Land too? I remember, he’s not at the Early-Stage War God level!"

"Master Andre, here’s what happened..."

The other black-clad elder quickly began to explain the whole story.

"Heh, using oneself as the seed to defy heaven and break through; the Evil Emperor is truly astonishing!"

Having heard the black-clad elder’s tale, Andre inquired, "Do you know where the Evil Emperor and his female disciple are now?"

"We encountered them half a day ago, on a mountain not far from here."

"Lead me to them!"

Andre licked his lips with a cold smile, a murderous glint in his eyes, "Before I find that bastard Ye, I’ll slash the Evil Emperor and his female disciple, just to collect some interest!!"
