Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 354 - 354 353 Mad Chase

354: Chapter 353: Mad Chase 354: Chapter 353: Mad Chase When Heaven and Earth were without light, when the sun and moon were unseen, the world had only endless darkness—such darkness was indescribable, yet it instilled fear beyond words.

The Heavenly Punishment Halberd, the most lethal weapon since ancient times, its origin unknown to all, its foundation a mystery to everyone.

Ancient legends told.

At the dawn of Heaven and Earth, when all things began to thrive, the Heavenly Punishment Halberd existed between Heaven and Earth—some even claimed it originated from Chaos, harboring a shocking secret within.

Some speculated that this secret related to sanctification, others believed the Heavenly Punishment Halberd was not an object of the Three Realms but came from beyond Chaos.

Regardless of the rumors, they all added to the halberd’s mysterious aura.

Darkness fell, lightless and desolate.

A quiet aura of Silent Annihilation wafted through the Human World, instilling a voiceless fear in all living beings.

For three days and nights, darkness was unbounded.

On the fourth day, Dawn Light burst forth between Heaven and Earth, a sliver of early sun scattering across the Human World, banishing the boundless darkness and gradually revealing the true form of the Human World.

The Earth Core Magma had long since extinguished, thousands of miles of land left scarred and marred, the cooled magma turning into reefs, making the vast lands appear ferocious and terrifying.

Above the vast heavens, an endless void.

Yang Jian no longer radiated Immortal Light, and strands of golden Immortal Blood flowed from his third Vertical Eye as he stared blankly at Ye Xuan, as if his soul had left his body.

Ye Xuan was clad in black, his raven hair falling behind his head.

A breeze blew, causing his hair to flutter.

He watched Yang Jian with calm and indifference, his eyes opening and closing, revealing neither sorrow nor joy.

Hum!

The Heavenly Punishment Halberd transformed into a speck of black brilliance, merging back into Ye Xuan’s forehead.

The chaotic and earth-shattering aura dispersed without a trace, as if it had never existed in the world.

Thud… thud… thud.

Three spurts of Immortal Blood sprayed from Yang Jian’s mouth.

His trembling arm pointed towards Ye Xuan, his eyes focusing, but his pupils were gradually disintegrating, and that vibrant vitality was fading away.

“Why… why?”

Crack… crack… crack!

Yang Jian’s body fractured inch by inch, with golden Immortal Blood spraying from all over his body.

The most horrifying aspect was his third Dharma Eye bleeding profusely until it lost all its luster.

Whoo!

Bang!

A violent wind assaulted, and the Three-pointed Two-bladed Saber in his hand dispersed into a sky full of stars.

Yang Jian knelt half in the void, but even as his life was ebbing away, he still stared fixedly at Ye Xuan.

“Why… why have I been defeated by you?”

Yang Jian murmured the question, seemingly unable to accept the reality.

He, the War God of the Three Realms, the foremost among all beneath the Daluo Golden Immortals, with aspirations as high as the heavens, and a future boundless, was today to perish at the hands of a native from the Exile Land.

Yang Jian could not accept it, did not want to accept it.

He did not know how he had been defeated, only that when Heaven and Earth plunged into boundless darkness, his Heaven and Earth Dharma Eye experienced an excruciating pain.

The so-called Destructive Immortal Light had also vanished in the endless darkness.

In that silent, fearful darkness, his body shattered, his immortal power waning, until light returned to Heaven and Earth, and his physical body completely deteriorated, his once overwhelming physical strength reduced to that of a mortal’s.

“What… what kind of Spiritual Treasure is this?”

Yang Jian’s eyes brimmed with blood and tears as he foolishly questioned Ye Xuan, unable to accept his defeat.

Even though his cultivation was superior, he was utterly vanquished by Ye Xuan’s bizarre weapon.

The wind was gentle, the clouds light, as Ye Xuan strolled through the Yuntian sky until he stood before Yang Jian, silently looking down at the War God of the Three Realms.

“Yang Jian, the moment you arrived in the Human World, your death was sealed.

Allow me to escort you on your final journey,” Ye Xuan said calmly, his fingertips radiating Immortal Light as a trace of cold indifference flashed in his eyes.

“Hahaha!”

Suddenly, Yang Jian burst into a wild laughter, with blood spilling from his mouth as he laughed.

Yet, the look he gave Ye Xuan was one of bitter rage and sorrow.

“Ye Xuan, I admit I’m no match for you, but if you want to kill me, you’re way too early,” he said.

“Primordial Spirit Escape Heaven!”

Bang!

His body exploded into a mist of blood, and amidst that, a point of golden light broke free.

Yang Jian, by some unknown magic, had destroyed his flesh to allow his Primordial Spirit to flee.

With an Undying Primordial Spirit, resurrection is possible, a technique available to every Immortal, and Yang Jian, as the premier disciple of the third generation in the Chan Sect, even had a Primordial Spirit life-saving method.

Primordial Spirit Escape Heaven was an incredibly formidable secret technique, created by Yuanshi Tianzun and passed down to Yu Ding, his direct disciple.

For Yang Jian, this life-saving technique was his last resort.

Yang Jian absolutely did not want to die at the hands of Ye Xuan.

In this dire moment, he employed the technique, hoping that if he could flee back to the Earth Immortal Realm, he could be reborn with the help of his Master, even if his cultivation fell to the Taiyi Realm.

That was far preferable to dying miserably at Ye Xuan’s hands.

Furthermore, Yang Jian intended to reveal Ye Xuan’s identity to all, so that the living beings of the Earth Immortal Realm would know that Ye Xuan was from the Human World.

Once his roots were exposed, Ye Xuan would find no rest in death.

The void solidified, the blood mist dispersed.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a chilling murderous intent flashing across them, his venomous voice echoing in the Human World.

“Trying to escape?”

“Do you think you can?”

Boom!

With a single step, Ye Xuan caused heaven and earth to shatter as he chased after the retreating aperture with a speed like light and shadow.

He absolutely could not allow Yang Jian to escape back to the Earth Immortal Realm; otherwise, the existence of the Human World would be exposed to the myriad of Immortals and gods.

The Human World was Ye Xuan’s foundation, his homeland, a place for cultivating and recuperating.

If one day he confronted an unimaginable enemy, the Human World was essential for his survival.

Thus, there could be no mishaps there.

Primordial Spirit Escape Heaven, within an arm’s reach of the horizon, but only moments passed before Yang Jian desperately bolted into the retreating channel.

Ye Xuan was not far behind; with each step on his Somersault Cloud, tens of thousands of li vanished in an instant as he furiously pursued through the channel.

In the channel,

Two streaks of light chased and fled, with Ye Xuan’s body emitting Luotian Golden Light and terrifying killing intent coursing around him that shook the path violently.

“Die for me!”

His hand as heavy as the sky, quelling all things, Ye Xuan growled with venomous loathing as he unleashed waves of Immortal Techniques, furiously pressing down upon Yang Jian’s Primordial Spirit.

This forced Yang Jian to desperately flee, his Escape Light cracking under the devastating onslaught from Ye Xuan.

“Ye Xuan, you little brat, you can’t kill me.”

Yang Jian howled in humiliation and rage, now completely frantic.

To escape from Ye Xuan’s grasp, he pushed his Primordial Spirit to the brink of Extreme Ascension, ready to deplete all his Primordial Spirit Power just to reach the Earth Immortal Realm.

Just three thousand li, almost there, just a little more.

As the gateway to the Earth Immortal Realm shone ahead of him, Yang Jian roared inside, his eyes gleaming with budding hope.

If he could only make it, his life would surely be saved.
