Chapter 201: Without Entering the Great Vehicle, You Remain an Ant!
“This…”
Princess Anle’s expression changed drastically. She had never imagined your strength would be so terrifying. A dignified Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, slain so easily in an instant!
The entire battle had seemed simple, but in truth it had not been easy for you. The spiritual power you had just recovered was once again exhausted, and your physical body’s strength had also been considerably drained.
If another Tribulation Transcendence cultivator comes, I’m afraid I’ll die here!
After sensing his own condition, you made your judgment.
You urgently needed to recuperate and recover your strength, lest you encounter the unexpected.
You glanced at Princess Anle, then waved your large hand. In an instant, you seized the Princess Anle who had wanted to flee, and turned back to the sect. With the protection of the Sect-Protecting Grand Formation, your safety was temporarily secure.
Princess Anle, a Return-to-Void cultivator, had no strength to resist in your hands. Her cultivation was sealed by you, and she stayed by your side, not daring to move rashly.
You sat in place, circulating your cultivation method to rapidly recover your cultivation. All kinds of spirit pills and miraculous medicines were tossed into your mouth as if they cost nothing, refined on the spot.
An hour later, your cultivation had recovered thirty percent. Only then did you stop cultivating and look toward Princess Anle at your side.
“You… have finally fallen into my hands!”
“Hmph, kill me or cut me up, as you please!” Princess Anle said defiantly.
“Killing you would be such a waste!”
You sneered coldly, then, under Princess Anle’s terrified gaze, grabbed her by the neck and left the sect.
“Tell them to stop!”
“I-Im-Possible!” Princess Anle said stubbornly.
“Mm?”
Your hand on Princess Anle’s neck tightened slightly. Immediately, the sound of bones cracking rang out. At the same time, the Human Sovereign Banner appeared, eroding Princess Anle’s soul.
Princess Anle was in extreme agony. Between life and death, she ultimately chose to submit.
“S-Stop! All of you, stop!”
You released Princess Anle’s neck, letting her speak normally.
The instant you let go, a Fusion realm cultivator hiding in the shadows suddenly appeared, dagger in hand, striking at your back like a venomous snake!
The dagger collided with your back, producing a tremendous noise, carving a shallow wound across your ancient yellow back.
“What?!!!”
The sneak attacker was shocked by the toughness of your physical body after the failed strike. Knowing the ambush had failed, he immediately tore through the void, about to flee.
“Want to leave?”
Your fist appeared out of thin air, smashing directly into the opponent’s chest. Your powerful physical strength shattered his protective spiritual qi, crushed his protective treasure, and directly punched through the man’s body!
With just that one strike, the Fusion realm cultivator was gravely wounded, but it also bought him the time to escape into the void.
Watching the Fusion realm assassin vanish into the void, you were clearly dissatisfied. You raised your hand and shouted.
“Sword, Come!!!”
Across the entire battlefield, the masterless spirit swords whose owners had long since died rose from the ground, answering your call.
Over a thousand spirit swords merged in an instant, transforming into a Returning Unity Sword that pierced the void, pursuing the fleeing Fusion realm cultivator.
Three breaths later, the Returning Unity Sword, dyed red with blood, returned. Floating on the blade was a severed head — the very one who had fled earlier!
“Continue. No one can save you now.” You glanced at Princess Anle and said flatly.
Princess Anle looked at the severed head, her whole body trembling. She obediently ordered the ceasefire.
The Clan Patriarch was slain, the Princess captured. The disciples of the various clans, who had long since lost the will to fight, surrendered one after another.
Some disciples, seeing the situation turn bad, turned to flee. They were beheaded by your Returning Unity Sword!
“Seal their cultivation, take them back to await the Ancestor’s judgment!” You ordered the Heavenly Blade Sect disciples.
With you overseeing the battlefield, anyone who dared resist was silenced by a single sword strike!
You raised your head and gazed at the starry sky. Though this battle had been won under your leadership—
You knew none of these victories mattered. The battle that could truly affect the overall situation was above the Nine Heavens!
I hope the Ancestors are all doing well!
“You cannot win.” Princess Anle, at your side, suddenly spoke while looking at you.
“Mm?”
Your brow furrowed slightly. Only then did you remember you had forgotten to perform a soul search. As the mastermind of this war, Princess Anle surely knew a great deal of information.
“Huang’s power far exceeds what you and I can imagine!” Princess Anle added.
You said nothing. You merely extended a hand and placed it on Princess Anle’s forehead.
The moment your Primordial Spirit probed inside, it was repelled by a restrictive spell.
“Don’t! You’ll die!” Princess Anle’s face went pale as she hurriedly spoke.
You withdrew your hand and cursed inwardly. Why do all of you have restrictive spells in your heads!
Restrictive spells of this kind had plagued you for a long time. Every time you wanted to perform a soul search, you ran into this sort of thing.
“What does Sect Master Ye wish to know? This Empress can tell you, but please, do not perform a soul search.”
“You really will die!”
“Tell me everything you know.”
“If you dare deceive me, you know the consequences!” You glanced at Princess Anle and said coldly.
“After ten thousand years of recuperation, their strength has grown even greater!”
“But our strength is far inferior to what it once was…”
“In that battle ten thousand years ago, though they won, it was a pyrrhic victory.”
“At that time, they no longer had the strength to rule the Heaven Mystery Continent. They could only elevate a few major forces to manage it in their stead, while they lay dormant to recover.”
“But now, their strength has been restored. They can no longer wait to step forward and take over the entire continent!”
“And our Purple Firmament Immortal Dynasty is the first battle for their true domination of the Heaven Mystery Continent!”
Hearing this, you fell silent.
“You can’t stop them! Give up the struggle!” Princess Anle urged.
“What the Ancestors of ten thousand years ago could not accomplish, how can we?”
“If we don’t try, how can we know?” you countered.
“Huang severed my Immortal Path. This is a blood feud!”
“They feed on our human race. This is a natural enemy!”
“Do you want future generations to live in an era where they could be eaten at any moment?”
Princess Anle fell silent. After glancing at you, she lowered her head and said nothing.
A moment later, Princess Anle asked hoarsely, “But what can we even do?”
“Without entering the Great Vehicle, we are all mere ants in the end!” Princess Anle’s words were filled with helplessness.
