Journey to the End of the Night Chapter 1643 - 973: Little Ji
Previously on Journey to the End of the Night...
At the same time, the grave monument in Yin Tianzi’s hand smashed down fiercely toward Golden Immortal Feng Xu, then with a step on Hundred Ghosts Netherworld, he shot up to the sky.
With arms as vast as mountains, he embraced the enormous Light Sword descending from within the Nine Heavens.
That Light Sword slightly stagnated under Yin Tianzi’s resistance, just for an instant.
Yet, its unmatched momentum continued to shatter Yin Tianzi’s body, debris flying, clouds scattering.
The grave monument thrown by Yin Tianzi was already horizontally in front of Golden Immortal Feng Xu.
As half of the Netherworld Road opened, innumerable Heroic Spirits stood wielding spears, entrenched above the Golden Immortal’s head.
Pure energy gradually flowed into the mouths of those Heroic Spirits.
Golden Immortal Feng Xu’s celestial body abruptly paused, the vitality on his face visibly dwindling.
His skin sagged and collapsed, forming deep wrinkles like ravines.
Watching the Central Netherworld Empress pressing straight towards him, Golden Immortal Feng Xu flew into a rage, bellowing fiercely to the heavens.
The Immortal Seal on his brow gleamed bright, as he swiftly formed seals with his hands at lightning speed.
The enormous Light Sword surged more fiercely and swiftly, like waves in the sea, with sword movement flowing like a great river rushing into the sea.
Despite being shackled by celestial laws, Golden Immortal’s strength was incomparable to his peak during the Immortal World’s zenith.
Despite utilizing the Yin Yang force of Houtu’s land to restrain Feng Xu in every aspect.
Yet, Ying Ji was facing a celestial Golden Immortal, with a vast disparity in power, aiming to kill him here.
A need to summon hundreds of thousands of Heroic Spirits, absorbing the longevity and celestial life he had gathered, using the cause and effect of heaven and earth to exhaust him until he grows frail and dies here.
Yet, dying of old age is not an injury, it requires a certain process, using the power of time to kill him.
However, the incoming sword’s momentum was fierce, if Ying Ji did not dodge, it would certainly lead to her Divine Soul falling, with the six realms utterly destroyed.
Had it been the past, being provoked, she might indiscriminately resort to a battle of life and death.
But her only child was right beside her, how could she bear to recklessly fight to the death?
In the end, still unwilling to regret, she dissolved Yin Tianzi’s grave monument, severed the Netherworld Road, allowing the energy to return to her body.
Ying Ji slightly tilted her body, swung her large sleeve to deflect the enormous Light Sword of the Heavenly River.
Under the majestic energy from her sleeve, the great sword shattered, turning into countless fragments, with black crows spreading wings to mend the sky’s rift.
The shattered sword light twinkled like stars amid the dark shadows that covered the sky, exceptionally dazzling and beautiful.
Golden Immortal Feng Xu, drained of too much Yin longevity, could no longer maintain poise, and gracefully descend to stand upon Scale Stone overlooking all beings.
His immortal body grew heavy, landing gloomily amid the altar, coldly staring at the Central Netherworld Empress, unable to hide the killing intent in his eyes.
Simultaneously, Ying Ji landed on the altar, she lowered her gaze coldly examining her shattered sleeve.
Underneath the large red sleeves, her slender and long arm unexpectedly bore a grim sword scar.
Blood trickled down her snowy skin, falling into Baili An’s reddened eyes, a sight of utter sadness!
Baili An’s expression turned extremely cold, knives in his gaze directed towards Golden Immortal Feng Xu, who’s face showed a trace of withering age, his original composure and patience vanished completely.
With fingers gathering into a seal, his eyes red, stepping forward, surrounded by overwhelming killing intent, all aimed at Golden Immortal Feng Xu.
After a battle, not completely understanding Golden Immortal Feng Xu, instead Ying Ji became completely calm.
She extended her arm to halt Baili An’s actions, shaking her head at him.
Baili An furrowed his brows deeply, but under his mother’s gaze, he obediently refrained from acting impulsively.
Even though he possessed the bone of a Venerable Immortal, under such a supreme fighter as Golden Immortal, how could he stand a chance without using his trump card?
Having just acquired those six Divine Talismans, the mystery of the woman in his childhood memory remained unsolved.
With so many eyes in Shifang City fixed on him.
To protect his mother, revealing his identity now would be unwise.
Golden Immortal Feng Xu wrapped his half-ruined aged cheek in his sleeve, his hair bound by a purple crown already appearing dry and grey.
His breath forlorn, gaze coldly glaring at Ying Ji, with a disdainful snort.
"Empress of the Central Netherworld Dynasty, why do you join in the chaos of Shifang City? Isn’t it overstepping boundaries?"
Ying Ji spoke calmly, "I am lifelong friends with Xue Fu, awakening the Scale Stone’s talisman spirit was originally Xue Fu’s rule, not violating any celestial laws."
"Golden Immortal Feng Xu, you bully by force, misusing Immortal Venerable laws, committing acts of cruelty and inhumanity."
"Desiring to seize Divine Talismans, compared to unwarranted aggression, who can match you mighty Golden Immortal?"
"Bold words!" Feng Xu’s repressed fury seemed almost uncontrollable, eyes filled with stormy turbulence brewing.
Determined today the lady must not be tolerated any longer, his white robe filled with immortal elegance suddenly flipped, the Immortal Seal on his brow flashing radiantly.
Extreme Sword Energy soared to its peak, as he lightly raised his arm, the air between heaven and earth became a dragon twist of Sword Qi.
Under the whistle of storm cloud thunder, the Immortal Seal on the brows of Golden Immortal Feng Xu shone brightly, the wrath of an immortal god manipulating the forces of the mountains and rivers.
The citizens of the city were already deathly pale.
He coldly stared at Ying Ji, face overcome with severe frost, speaking in a chilly tone:
"Empress Ying Ji, you have only cultivated a thousand years, ruling a corner of the Mortal World as the Central Netherworld Empress.
Even though you have a Venerable Immortal father, that isn’t your reasoning for behaving so imperiously."
Ying Ji’s slender phoenix eyes narrowed sharply, "It seems Golden Immortal hasn’t suffered enough."
Feng Xu sneered, "Lady Ying Ji is excessively arrogant, even after the brief skirmish, I discerned that despite possessing trickery and mystical abilities, unpredictable transformations."
