Chapter 469: Chapter 469: The Powerful and Handsome Monk

"Resentment?"

Qin Jun’s face was full of confusion. Could Jin Chanzi mean that all of this was just an illusion, a spiritual assault crafted from resentment?

If that was indeed the case, why had his formation secret characters failed to work, and why hadn’t he sensed the approach of the dark shadow?

Jin Chanzi also had many doubts in his heart, but he was certain that all of this was the resentment of a powerful being who had died.

Suddenly, the ground below them began to explode, as huge rocks and clumps of earth were thrown upwards amidst deafening roars, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

"I hope Yang Jian can pull through!"

Qin Jun prayed silently to himself. After being reminded by Jin Chanzi, he actually began to worry that Yang Jian might stumble.

However, his worry was destined to be superfluous. Though arrogant, Yang Jian, as the War God of the Heavenly Court, had fought countless battles and possessed extremely rich combat experience. He had faced all kinds of enemies that Qin Jun couldn’t even imagine.

With a loud boom!

A dark shadow flew out from underground, closely followed by Yang Jian.

"Trying to escape?"

Yang Jian let out a cold laugh. With a grab of his left hand, the void forcefully dragged the dark shadow back. Qin Jun and the others defended against the omnipresent dark figures while watching Yang Jian.

What they saw was his left hand gripping a humanoid monster with charred skin, hunched and skinny, with hair like wild grass and a fiery red color, resembling a ghoul that had crawled out of purgatory.

"Hiss—"

The crowd gasped in shock as they sensed the aura emanating from this black monster, far surpassing the strength of someone from the Immortal Realm.

"Let me go!"

The dark monster cursed angrily. He was the overlord of the Heijiao Mountain Range, Jiao Gui, a renowned powerhouse in the Heavenly Realm, even stronger than the Refining King, but sadly, he had encountered Yang Jian.

Yang Jian said nothing further. He turned and smashed Jiao Gui downwards. Jiao Gui felt an unimaginably powerful force pressing him down, causing his body to smash involuntarily toward the ruins below, stirring up clouds of dust hundreds of feet high even before hitting the ground.

Qin Jun and the others simply couldn’t catch the action with their eyes; it was so fast that it left them dazzled.

Yang Jian’s strike descended, with a bright light bursting forth that drained all things of color. With one strike, the heavens shattered and the earth cracked!

The land within a hundred miles shook violently.

As the bright light faded, Qin Jun’s eyes went wide. What met his gaze was an immense chasm, whose depths were unfathomable, stretching who knows how long and several dozens of yards wide, resembling a vast canyon.

The full accomplishment of the Scattered Immortal Realm, terrifying indeed!

Effortlessly reshaping the landscapes!

Qin Jun couldn’t help but yearn. When would he possess such mighty power?

Looking back at Jiao Gui, the lower half of his body was gone, blood and flesh a blur of misery.

He was full of hatred and fear, his upper body trembling non-stop, trying to escape. But locked in by Yang Jian’s murderous intent, he was paralyzed.

"Release it!"

Yang Jian looked down at Jiao Gui and commanded; Qin Jun and the others couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Release it?

Jiao Gui’s face began to twist horribly, and soon thread by thread of black energy seeped out from within him. As his upper body visibly withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye, the already skeletal figure rapidly turned into a mummy. As the black energy completely escaped, his body plummeted down, disappearing into the bottomless gorge.

"I am not content... I hate..."

The black energy surged rapidly and, to the disbelief of those watching, quickly coalesced into a human shape, indistinct in features, about ten yards tall, emanating a chilling murderous intent.

The Heavenly Palace.

"Indeed, Jiao Gui has also become its puppet," the Black Butterfly Fairy commented with a sigh, and the other celestial officials felt a chill thinking of the resentment’s former demeanor.

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, clicking his tongue in amazement, "To reach the Golden Immortal Realm with lingering resentment after death is truly formidable."

The strength of the Golden Immortal Realm?

Qin Jun drew in a breath of cold air, thinking that if this resentment were to escape, without the help of Yang Jian and Jin Chanzi, he too would undoubtedly die!

The mysterious resentment roared ceaselessly, muttering words of discontent and hatred, causing one’s scalp to tingle with unease. What exactly had it encountered in life to harbor such intense hatred even after death?

"Amitabha..." Jin Chanzi brought his hands together and began to recite scriptures, attempting to transcend the mysterious resentment.

Who knew that the more the mysterious resentment heard, the angrier it became, charging directly towards Jin Chanzi.

Yang Jian’s mouth curled slightly upwards, not making a move himself, wanting to witness Jin Chanzi’s abilities. After all, Jin Chanzi was at the ninth level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, so his actual combat power wouldn’t be too shabby.

In the face of the oncoming mysterious resentment, Jin Chanzi continued to keep his eyes shut, causing the crowd to sweat for him.

Qin Jun, floating behind Jin Chanzi, was actually not worried; he wanted to see how much of Tathāgata’s mantle Jin Chanzi had inherited.

"Om——"

A sound like a great bell suddenly rose, and Jin Chanzi’s body erupted in a thousand-zhang golden light, dazzlingly bright. Even Qin Jun couldn’t help but shield his face with his arm, catching glimpses of Jin Chanzi’s figure through the glare, his kasaya billowing in the wind, tall and resolute, his shoulders as if they could support Mount Tai.

This was indeed the proper way for Jin Chanzi to make his entrance!

Qin Jun’s heart surged with excitement. The usually frivolous Jin Chanzi had given him the impression of summoning a counterfeit, but now that Jin Chanzi was serious, he truly looked magnificent.

"When will the cycle of vengeance end, why cling to things past and gone!" Jin Chanzi said righteously, and as he spoke, he lifted his right palm. Just as the claw of the mysterious resentment was about to touch his nose, an invisible force suddenly suppressed it, rendering it unable to advance any further.

The scene seemed to freeze, everyone looking on in shock at this spectacle.

The golden light shone brilliantly as the handsome and dignified monk struck at the demon, the imagery charged with astonishing visual impact.

"Suppress!"

As Jin Chanzi’s palm came down, a terrifyingly unimaginable force surged towards the mysterious resentment, instantly dispersing it. The ruins beneath exploded again, the earth turning to ash, collapsing into the ground, the very earth devastated anew.

Yang Jian, squinting towards Jin Chanzi, had his eyes filled with astonishment, not expecting Jin Chanzi to be so strong. The display of power a moment ago was even comparable to some at the early stages of the Taiyi Scattered Immortal Realm.

After a long while.

Dust scattered, and next to the canyon, a gigantic pit a kilometer in diameter appeared. Wisps of dust rose up, while Qin Jun and the others stood dumbfounded on the spot.

Was it over just like that?

The eighteen Star Officials within the Heavenly Palace were also stunned.

"Ssss— This monk had hidden his power so deeply, he even possessed the momentum to confront someone at the early stages of the Taiyi Scattered Immortal Realm!"

"My heavens, how did another powerhouse on par with the Taiyi Scattered Immortal Realm get involved?"

"Have you noticed, both of them are obedient to that young man named Qin Jun."

"Could they be from a major power or a prominent clan?"

"What kind of clan can dispatch protectors comparable to Taiyi Mysterious Immortals and Taiyi Scattered Immortals for their juniors?"

The Star Officials discussed fervently, with the head Star Official furrowing his brow tightly, clearly startled by Jin Chanzi’s strength.

What puzzled the head Star Official the most was how Jin Chanzi and Yang Jian had gotten in without the Realm Spirit noticing. It was too strange.

With Yang Jian and Jin Chanzi present, who could stand in the way of Qin Jun, a talent with monstrous aptitude and an even more chilling background? Suddenly, the head Star Official felt reluctant to take him on as a disciple.
