Chapter 2158: Samsara (Two)
“Samsaric?” Master Chanlong murmured in confusion. He found the name to be familiar as if he had heard it somewhere before.
However, in the next moment, master Chanlong shuddered violently. He stared right at the blurry figure outside the Neptunean Mountains and cried out in shock, “Y- you’re the Samsaric Immortal Exalt who destroyed the Daoist Sect of Neptunea single-handedly?”
After learning the person’s identity, master Chanlong’s heart was in turmoil. He was extremely shocked and felt great disbelief.
The legends about the Samsaric Immortal Exalt had been piercing to his ears ever since he entered the Neptunean Divine Palace. However, every single rumour was extremely astonishing, enough for any Godking who heard it for the first time to feel completely astounded.
The Daoist Sect of Neptunea was a peak organisation that shook up and dominated in the Saints’ World. Not only did it possess millions of disciples, but it even had four Grand Primes. One of the Grand Primes had reached almost reached a state of perfection with their cultivation and was known as one of the most powerful experts below Grand Exalt in the past.
It was possible to imagine just how glorious and prosperous the Daoist Sect of Neptunea had been in the past with such a powerful ancestor.
However, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt had single-handedly destroyed the Daoist Sect of Neptunea that seemed monstrous in the eyes of many in the Saints’ World. The four Grand Primes, including the ancestor only second to Grand Exalts, all died in the Neptunean Divine Palace. No one managed to survive.
If it were not for the arrival of one of the seven Grand Exalts of the Saints’ World, the Grand Exalt of Ancient Ways, the Daoist Sect of Neptunea probably would not even have been able to protect the Neptunean Divine Palace, a high quality god artifact. It definitely would have been smashed to pieces by the Samsaric Immortal Exalt.
This was more than enough to demonstrate the might of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt.
Yet, at this current moment, the Samsaric Immortal Exalt that seemed to belong to legends to master Chanlong had actually appeared before him in person. It impacted him tremendously.
The trapped soul beside Chanlong widened its snake eyes as well. It also stared ahead in complete shock at the blurry figure that claimed to be the Samsaric Immortal Exalt. Its shock had reached its limit as well.
Even though they could not see the blurry figure’s appearance, they could sense a terrifying, overwhelming pressure from him.
The figure said nothing. He only hovered in the sky silently as the terrifying power of samsara surged violently like a raging river, condensing into a cloud beneath his feet. It did seem like he was riding a cloud.
He did not confirm his identity, nor did he deny it. He just silently stood outside the Neptunean Mountains for a while as if he was staring at where Chanlong stood.
A while later, his figure turned into the power of samsara and vanished like mist. He did not enter the Neptunean Mountains.
Several million kilometres away, Jian Chen and all the injured supreme Godkings laid on the ground powerlessly. They had been enveloped by the power of samsara, and their vitality drained away rapidly.
They became weaker and weaker from the tremendous loss of vitality.
“Our vitality is about to be completely drained away, but the mysterious energy shows no signs of stopping. Are we all going to die here today?” Rui Di said bitterly. He did not fear death. However, he found it regretful to just die here unknowingly.
“According to the rumour that has always existed, when the Neptunean Moon appears, something big will happen to the Neptunean Divine Palace. Many people believed this to be the awakening of the artifact spirit and the selection of a new master, but it looks like this was what it was really referring to,” Shui Yunlan sighed.
“I don’t mind dying here, but what will happen to her majesty? Her majesty is still very weak right now. It’ll be very difficult for her to survive in the Saints’ World alone…” Shui Yunlan suddenly thought of the Snow Goddess, who was still waiting for her cultivation resources. Immediately, Shui Yunlan became worried.
At this moment, a long howl suddenly rang out from beside Shui Yunlan. Jian Chen, who had originally collapsed on the ground, suddenly shone with a faint, red glow.
The moment the red glow appeared, a desolate presence that seemed to come from the primordial past surged out. Along with it came a terrifying presence that completely exceeded Jian Chen’s current strength, striking fear in many supreme Godkings.
Pressured by the power of samsara, Jian Chen used the power of the bloodline from the ancient Skywolf within him. It formed a paper-thin barrier around him.
After using the power of the bloodline, the power of samsara that permeated the entire Neptunean Divine Palace seemed to be pushed away temporarily. As the bloodline’s power rapidly drained away, Jian Chen gradually recovered some strength. He sat up with great difficultly.
His actions immediately stunned everyone present. They all stared at him and showed shock.
Ignoring the gazes around him, Jian Chen slowly closed his eyes and concentrated on gathering up all the power of his soul. He wanted to take out the Anatta Tower, throw the people around him into it, and then leave here with the Cosmic Movement Talisman in a single stroke.
However, whether it was taking out the Anatta Tower or taking out the Cosmic Movement Talisman from his Space Ring, all of these actions required the use of the power of his soul.
If it were some other time, it would have naturally been effortless for him to do that. However, now that he was enveloped by the power of samsara, he could only rely on the thin barrier erected by the power of the ancient Skywolf’s bloodline to gather slivers of the power of his soul and complete what he needed to do.
“Hurry up! Hurry up!” As Jian Chen gathered the power of his soul, he was filled with anxiety. The power of the bloodline drained far too quickly. He could not last much longer.
“There’s actually the presence of the ancient Skywolf’s bloodline,” at this moment, an ancient voice rang out of nowhere, booming through the surroundings. As the voice rang out, the power of samsara in the surroundings churned violently.
Nearby, an illusionary figure that seemed to be a part of the power of samsara silently appeared.
As soon as the figure appeared, it seemed to dominate the entire world, causing the laws in the surroundings to undergo some mysterious changes. The barrier around Jian Chen shattered instantly as if the laws of the world had pressed against it.
“Samsaric Immortal Exalt, please have mercy!” At this moment, an azure and a violet ball of light suddenly appeared above Jian Chen’s head. The sword spirits had appeared, turning into a young man and woman who seemed to be in their twenties. They gazed at the blurry figure excitedly.
The appearance of the sword spirits caused the power of samsara around the Samsaric Immortal Exalt to pulse unnaturally. He called out, “Hmm? Zi Ying, Qing Suo, why have the two of you appeared in the Saints’ World?” The Samsaric Immortal Exalt’s ancient voice was filled with surprise.
