Immortal of the Nine Realms

Is there no chance of winning?

The words of Qian Wuji, along with his current betrayal, plunged all the cultivators present into silence. Considering the terrifying rumors about the Spirit Blood Sect, coupled with the current situation, everyone gradually started feeling afraid.

The only Golden Core Realm cultivator on their side was Fang Tingjian, and he had also been heavily injured. Whereas the three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were shrouded in the black mist, their plight unknown.

How much longer can the Great Qian Empire hold on?

"Uncle, I won't join the Spirit Blood Sect," Princess Shenlong said softly, her eyes turning red-rimmed. "I hope you consider this carefully. If you get entangled in today's karma, your path to immortality may become difficult in the future."

Qian Wuji sneered. "What does karma matter when our lives are at stake? Besides, the Spirit Blood Sect fears karma the least. If Heaven denies us, then we shall become Heaven itself. The Blood Spirit Pill can break through all bottlenecks! Too bad for you, you've missed your last chance."

In the next moment, he waved his sleeve and a flashing green sword aura shot straight toward Fang Tingjian. Fang Wanli and the others wanted to rescue him, but there was still a considerable distance between them, and a group of Golden Core Realm cultivators was watching them closely. Any lapse would lead to a certain death!

Just as the sword was about to strike Fang Tingjian, a green light radiated from Fang Chen's body.

The flying sword encountered a green light and was instantly blocked, unable to advance even a single inch!

Who was it!? They could actually block Qian Wuji's flying sword!? That was a cultivator at the grand completion stage of the Golden Core Realm!

As they looked over, they saw Fang Chen holding the Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern, slowly walking to Fang Tingjian's side. That green light came from the ancient green lantern in his hand.

The Mirror of the Universe had not bragged for nothing. The Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern was indeed extremely useful. To Fang Chen, it didn't even consume that much spiritual energy, and activating the Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern posed no problem.

The only loss was the lamp oil at its core!

Fang Wanli was dumbfounded. "Is that Fang Chen!?"

Isn’t that Jue Wudi’s lantern? How can it be this strong in Fang Chen's hand?

Fang Tingjian turned his head to look at Fang Chen, his eyes showing a hint of sternness. "Why are you here? Quickly leave this place and find a chance to live on!"

Fang Chen smiled lightly. "Ancestor, today we are like grasshoppers on a rope. If you can't survive, neither can we."

Another grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator snorted unhappily. "Qian Wuji, did you go easy on him?"

The Golden Core Realm cultivator lightly waved his sleeve, and the energy of the five elements surged wildly, transforming into various beasts and weapons that attacked the green light fiercely.

Unfortunately, his methods couldn't even put a dent on the green light.

That grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator was slightly surprised, his eyes suddenly revealing a hint of greed. "What kind of treasure is that!? How can a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator like him use it to resist our methods?"

“You can't protect Fang Tingjian forever.” Qian Wuji looked deeply at Fang Chen. "Kill, kill all the Golden Core Realm cultivators here, the overall situation is set!"

Fang Chen transmitted through voice transmission, "Ancestor Wanli, come here with your people."

Fang Wanli's eyes lit up and immediately led Fang Ao and the others toward Fang Chen. Some Golden Core Realm cultivators tried to stop them, but Fang Wanli, taking the risk of being severely injured, resolutely maintained his speed and finally arrived safely by Fang Chen's side.

"That was close!" said Fang Wanli, letting out a sigh of relief. He took a few sips from his gourd and then sprayed the wine toward the Golden Core Realm cultivators outside. The wine turned into thousands of wine swords, shooting fiercely like lightning.

Those Golden Core Realm cultivators were caught off guard, and they cut sorry figures. They counterattacked instinctively, but their methods were intercepted by the Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern.

Fang Wanli suddenly looked in a certain direction. "Not good, Immortal Tianwu is in danger."

Fang Chen's thoughts shifted, and the green light of the Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern suddenly extended in all directions, enveloping countless Golden Core Realm cultivators, Foundation Building, and Qi Refining Realm cultivators in the hunting ground. That included Immortal Tianwu, who was almost killed by Nie Tianyuan.

Fang Chen said softly, "Please come over here, everyone."

Fang Chen couldn’t maintain that state for too long. He clearly noticed that the larger the area the Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern illuminated, the more lamp oil it consumed. Fortunately, Dongfang Haojie was not dead and was now also within the protective range of the Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern.

Qian Wuji and the others didn't expect such a scene. In just a moment, the cultivators who were about to die in their hands were now protected by the Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern.

In the end, Fang Chen controlled the range of the Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern to about ten meters in diameter. He made it so that it was just enough for thousands of people, it was just enough not to be too crowded. He wanted everyone to keep a safe distance from one another, after all, it was unknown if there were still any Spirit Blood Sect cultivators hidden amongst them. However, as long as he kept Qian Wuji and the others outside, it would be fine.

Dongfang Haojie pulled Fairy Tianyin closer to Fang Chen's side. "Please make way."

When he approached Fang Chen, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for helping us just now. Fairy Tianyin and I were almost in a dire situation."

Fairy Tianyin didn't say anything. Her mind was too occupied to talk to Dongfang Haojie now. She was worried about Immortal Void Rush.

"No need to thank me. This lantern oil won't last long. I'll have to rely on you next," Fang Chen conveyed through voice transmission.

Dongfang Haojie looked at Fang Chen in astonishment. "What! It's you!?"

Dongfang Haojie wasn't foolish enough to speak out in the open, and he transmitted his voice instead. "Is this lantern using my blood essence as oil?"

"Yes, but it won't last long. With this range, it'll run out in another two or four hours."

If he only used it to protect three to five people, lasting a day and night would be no problem, but the consumption of the oil lamp had intensified due to increasing the range.

Dongfang Haohao's lips turned pale. "Two or four hours? Damn it, you've already taken twenty drops of my blood essence. I can't squeeze out much more."

Fang Chen transmitted, "How much more can you squeeze out? Squeeze out as many as you can. Do you want to die here? Just hold on until those three Nascent Soul Realm come and help us."

Dongfang Haojie clenched his teeth. "At most, ten drops more. Anything beyond that and I'd start to lose lifespan!"

Ten drops?

Fang Chen sighed lightly to himself. That was better than nothing; at least they could hold on a little longer. Besides, the current situation might still be salvageable.

Although Fang Tingjian was injured, the other Golden Core weren’t in good shape either and were far from their prime condition. However, that female sword cultivator seemed unharmed. If they joined forces, they might be able to defeat a grand completion stage Golden Core Realm.

Currently, she and Fairy Yu were also within the protection range of the Dragon Bone Heaven Lantern, albeit standing a bit farther away. They were observing Fang Chen with doubtful eyes.

"Fang Tingjian, how are your injuries? Your disciple's lantern probably won't hold out for much longer. If you can't make a move, we might as well just wait here for death," Jiang Shun asked with a grim expression.

All eyes turned to Fang Tingjian, but before he could respond, Qian Wuji, who was outside the green light sneered. "His injuries won't heal anytime soon. Instead of waiting for death, why don't you come out and fight us? There might still be a chance to survive."
