235: Chapter 234: A Wager on Life and Death (4th update, please subscribe) 235: Chapter 234: A Wager on Life and Death (4th update, please subscribe) Ye Xuan naturally had a trump card, one that was not the Heavenly Punishment Halberd or any secret technique within the Forbidden Chapter.

After all, powerful as the Forbidden Chapter was, it could not enable Ye Xuan to cross four Great Realms to slaughter a Yuan Mo, and although he could wield the Heavenly Punishment Halberd, it could unleash less than one-tenth of its might.

Should he fail to kill the Yuan Mo in one strike, his own life force would be drained, and he would forever sink into the reversal channel.

Ye Xuan was actually gambling on himself, a secret regarding ascension to immortality.

He, having transcended in the Mahayana Realm and experienced the Heaven and Earth’s three inquiries, could not possibly possess only the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal.

According to Ye Xuan’s speculation, his Heavenly Immortal Stage cultivation was related to the world he was in; after all, the Human World, at the end of Heaven and Earth Laws with no Spiritual Energy remaining, could only allow him to ascend to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which was the maximum power the Human World could withstand.

Only by entering the Earth Immortal Realm, where Spiritual Energy filled the skies and Heaven and Earth Laws were complete, would his cultivation receive an immensely terrifying boost.

As to the extent of this boost, Ye Xuan was unclear.

He had a strong premonition: as long as he entered the Earth Immortal Realm, the so-called Heavenly Immortal would certainly not be his limit.

Even if the Yuan Mo was a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, it might not pose a threat to him, and Ye Xuan might even be able to turn the tables and completely annihilate the Yuan Mo, dooming it to eternal unrest.

Furthermore, Ye Xuan had an absolutely fail-safe method, and that was the great turmoil of the Ancient Times, ten thousand years ago, during which Yuan Mo slaughtered many Immortals and had become the calamity of the Earth Immortal Realm.

As soon as he set foot in the Earth Immortal Realm, he could raise his arm in a call to action, informing the Immortals that Yuan Mo was alive.

With the encirclement of the countless Immortals, and his own assistance from the sidelines, he would surely be able to kill the Yuan Mo.

For now, the only thing Ye Xuan needed to do was to find the entrance to the Earth Immortal Realm within the reversal channel, and in the meantime, he must not allow the Yuan Mo to detect him, or else he would undoubtedly meet a gruesome end at its hands.

In the Primordial Spirit Void, concealing his presence, Ye Xuan dared not display Immortal Laws.

With his physical body, he traversed the void, gradually moving deeper into the reversal channel because he believed that the end of the reversal channel must be the legendary Earth Immortal Realm.

“Ye Xuan, you little bastard, there’s no Spiritual Energy here, not even life force for you to devour.

When your cultivation is exhausted, I’ll see where you can hide.”

The Yuan Mo roared in the void, with Taiyi Immortal Light shattering in all directions, but it could not find Ye Xuan’s trace, which infuriated it enormously.

Boom!

With a step, the Yuan Mo moved towards the depths of the reversal channel as well, because it was not foolish.

It knew Ye Xuan had no escape—if he were to return to the Human World, it would only be seeking his death, and the Human World itself would perish.

Therefore, the Yuan Mo was extremely certain that the only path Ye Xuan had was the Earth Immortal Realm.

At the end of the reversal channel.

A Light Gate of Immortal Light stood erect, emanating dazzling light.

However, it was inscribed with numerous Immortal Texts, clearly indicating that the gateway to the Earth Immortal Realm had been sealed by the Immortals of the Heavens long ago, which was also why the Human World became the end of Heaven and Earth Laws.

At this moment!

The Yuan Mo stood before the gate, glancing malevolently around the entire reversal channel, hoping to find Ye Xuan’s figure.

Disappointingly for him, Ye Xuan’s application of the Primordial Spirit Void was too enigmatic.

Even with the cultivation of a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, the Yuan Mo could not detect Ye Xuan.

Within the void.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, staring intently at the Yuan Mo.

As his eyes opened and closed, a malicious gleam quietly flashed by.

The gate to the Earth Immortal Realm was blocked by the Yuan Mo, and Ye Xuan could also feel that the gate had already been sealed.

Even without the Yuan Mo by the side, with his mere Heavenly Immortal Cultivation, he could not shatter the seals on the gate.

What to do?

Two great dilemmas presented themselves before Ye Xuan.

He had to evade the pursuit of Yuan Mo and also break through the gateway to the Earth Immortal Realm.

He was incapable of achieving either at the moment.

Time trickled by, perhaps a day, perhaps a year, as Ye Xuan immersed himself in thought, hoping to find a strategy to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, a flicker of Spiritual Light crossed Ye Xuan’s mind, jolting him out of his deep contemplation.

That’s right!

Indeed, he was no match for Yuan Mo, nor could he break through the gateway to the Earth Immortal Realm.

However, since Yuan Mo possessed the cultivation of a Taiyin Mystic Immortal, his cultivation should be sufficient to break the seal.

But Ye Xuan also understood that Yuan Mo was not foolish.

How could he be lured to break the seal of the gateway?

Ye Xuan was a man adept at thinking and resolute in action.

When he couldn’t solve a problem through force, he had to rely on his own intelligence to resolve the predicament before him.

Time passed uncounted, and numerous plans took shape in Ye Xuan’s mind, yet he dismissed them one by one because the chances of success were simply too slim.

“It has to be this way!”

Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts with a touch of madness in his eyes.

A plan with only a fifty percent chance of success emerged in his mind.

The plan was simple but also the most practical.

Since Yuan Mo had been scheming against him for so long, he himself was the best bait.

As long as he showed himself before Yuan Mo, the latter would undoubtedly try to annihilate him at all costs.

And if Ye Xuan could seize that fleeting opportunity, he had a fifty percent confidence in using Yuan Mo’s hand to blast open the sealed gateway.

Once he entered the Earth Immortal Realm, under the complete Heaven and Earth Laws and nourished by the abundant Spiritual Energy, his latent potential would fully erupt after his ascension.

Ye Xuan was certain that, as someone who had crossed the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation during the Mahayana Realm and even survived the unprecedented “Three Questions of Heaven and Earth” of the Demon Path, his prowess extended far beyond that of a Heavenly Immortal.

Ye Xuan had a strong premonition that even now, facing a Taiyin Mystic Immortal like Yuan Mo, he would remain undaunted and there was a very high probability that he could turn the tables and eliminate his foe.

A desperate fight for survival!

Ye Xuan was cornered, and there could be no reconciliation between him and Yuan Mo—it was a matter of life or death.

This made Ye Xuan swiftly come to a decision.

Buzz!

The void undulated, Immortal Light blazing fiercely.

As Ye Xuan emerged from nothingness, looking calmly at Yuan Mo, it contorted Yuan Mo’s face into a hideous snarl, filled with cruel and violent intent.

“Ye Xuan, you’ve finally shown yourself!” Yuan Mo snarled, his Taiyi Immortal Light growing even more intense as though he were about to erupt in violence against Ye Xuan at any moment.

“Yuan Mo, today, only one of us will live!”

Strike first to gain the upper hand—without waiting for Yuan Mo to make a move, Ye Xuan shook the Soul Suppressing Banner, releasing myriad lost souls that howled as they frenziedly lunged to bite Yuan Mo.

“You really aren’t afraid of death!” Yuan Mo cruelly sneered.

Taiyi Immortal Light annihilated everything.

Before the lost souls could reach him, they were reduced to black smoke amidst their piercing screams, all under the illumination of the Taiyi Immortal Light.

But Ye Xuan had no intention of engaging Yuan Mo in combat.

His entire being transformed into a streak of blood-colored Immortal Light, furiously shooting towards the Light Gateway.

“Thinking you can escape into the Earth Immortal Realm?

You truly are delusional!”

Yuan Mo smiled venomously.

As he reached out his palm, the Taiyi Immortal Light morphed into a giant, sky-covering palm, bearing an unimaginable might as it came crashing down towards Ye Xuan.
