Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 219: Chapter 114: Desperate Situation_2

An invisible barrier seemed to pour down from the sky across the entire River Ji, trapping everyone in place.

“Make way!”

A roar echoed as Shang Yu, bearing the Sword Tomb, emerged from the Primal Chaos Tower and scolded the cultivators who were constantly bombarding the barrier.

Despite being defeated by Gong Buyu, Shang Yu’s formidable power displayed on the platform was still unquestionable. The cultivators, their faces filled with surprise, quickly backed off.

With a wave of Shang Yu’s hand, flying swords flew out from the Sword Tomb on his back one by one. Under the control of Elemental Qi, a multitude of swords converged into a colossal spirit treasure in a blink of an eye. Enveloped with the spirit essence of the spirit treasures, it made a heavy strike at the River Ji barrier.

In an instant, the river diverted and caused a monstrous tidal wave. Strong Sword Qi from the giant flying sword fell frantically on the River Ji barrier, revealing the inclusiveness of the seeming frail water curtain.

No matter how violent the Sword Qi was, all attacks were evenly dispersed on every corner of the River Ji barrier that stretched thousands of miles across the province of Cang, withstanding the strike of the spirit treasure.

The River Ji barrier just shook slightly, then all attacks were completely swallowed by it.

The attack that utilized the spirit essence of spirit treasure were indeed mighty, but when spread out across the entire Cang Province’s River Ji, it seemed so insignificant.

“Stop wasting your energy. This River Ji barrier is connected to the entire province of Cang and is the base formation of the River Ji Dragon Palace. Even a Spirit Refining True Being would struggle to break it,” a knowledgeable cultivator said despondently.

“First, it was the Spirit Refining Demon King, and now it’s the River Ji barrier. The River Ji Dragon Palace is determined to kill all of us!”

“Has the River Ji Dragon Palace gone mad? There are over twenty blessed lands here, and four grotto heavens have already appeared, along with two Esteemed Emissaries from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

If the River Ji Dragon Palace kills us all, are they not afraid of incurring the public’s wrath?”

“Since they dared to make a True Being Stage Demon King put his life on the line, why would they be concerned about the hostility of the sects?

Moreover, it’s not the first time that the River Ji Dragon Palace has acted domineeringly. Even if they kill everyone, as long as they pin the blame on the doomed Demon King, most sects would choose to act as if nothing happened.

Is there anyone willing to risk destabilizing the Four Waterways to act against the River Ji Dragon Palace?”

Despair quickly spread throughout the entire discourse meeting, including the Qi-training prodigies from the four major sects whose faces turned ghastly pale.

They never expected a discourse meeting to turn into a scenario where the River Ji Dragon Palace acted recklessly without considering the consequences.

The Heavenly Tribulation a hundred miles away had completely dispersed. The surging river formed tidal waves that were hundreds of meters high. A local deity seemed to materialize from the river, walking on the waves towards this place.

Even a hundred miles away, everyone could feel an indescribable suffocating pressure.

“Can you send out any messages to the outside world?”

The Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary looked rigidly at the prodigies from all directions.

Shang Yu’s face turned slightly pale. Using the spirit essence of the Sword Tomb to attack the River Ji barrier inflicted a great toll on him.

But more than his physical status, the current crisis was even harder for him to accept.

“The River Ji barrier merely prevents entities from entering or leaving, it does not affect information transmission. But what good would getting the message out do?”

Wang Yuewen, from the Lofty Aspirations Sect beside him, also looked pale.

“If the River Ji Dragon Palace can make a Spirit Refining Demon King risk his life, it means that conventional powers can’t stop them – unless there’s a Spirit Refining True Being of the same stage inside the grotto heavens.

But at this time point, if a Spirit Refining True Being chooses to break the norm and act, it implies inevitable downfall. Are we worth the sacrifice of a Spirit Refining True Being from our sects?”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room fell silent.

Yunxia Zi from Xuanshen Dao added grimly.

“Besides, this River Ji barrier isn’t something that ordinary people can break. Even a Spirit Refining True Being may not be able to stop that Demon King from the River Ji Dragon Palace.”

At this moment, everyone, including the Black Tortoise Esteemed Emissary, wore a look of despair.

“What if Gong Buyu’s mentor takes action? Could there be a chance to fend off this Spirit Refining Demon King?”

Wang Yuewen suddenly cut in.

But his words were immediately met with mockery from Shang Yu.

“I agree that Gong Buyu’s mentor is indeed powerful, even to the point where I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s actually a Spirit Refining True Being walking among us, having availed of a certain method.

But the rules of reality are incomplete, and if he were to go all out, he would inevitably be retaliated against by the natural law all around. Unless he’s willing to die along with that Demon King, there’s absolutely no chance of him intervening.

Even if we concede some ground, even if that seemingly Spirit Refining True Being does take action, there’s no guarantee that he could resist the River Ji patrol warden from the River Ji Dragon Palace, who is equipped with the Banner of Water and Sky As One, whilst in the River Ji.”

Out of the six individuals, only Mo Li and the White Tiger Esteemed Emissary, their eyes complex and thoughtful, gazed at the Primal Chaos Tower.

Both of them knew that behind Gong Buyu was possibly the Supreme Taoist, the strongest entity who dominated the stage a thousand years ago, his power definitely surpassed a Spirit Refining True Being.

But what worried them was that the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge of Primal Chaos Realm had not fully returned, and the greater the power, the greater the suppression from the world’s rules.

The fact that the Supreme Taoist could freely walk in the mortal realm was already a miracle for many spiritually powerful beings of grotto heavens and sacred lands. It’s no secret that powerhouses like Ancestor Gong couldn’t even leave grotto heavens sacred ground.

Under these circumstances, if the Supreme Taoist acted, it would inevitably bring severe restrictions. The sword strike that killed the Mingquan Turtle Minister may have already reached the critical point.
