Chapter 16: Immortality of God of War! (3)
The situation shifted in an instant. Yu Ying shockingly withdrew from the competition, causing Tang Chenyue’s plan to completely fall apart.
[Draw his sword and look around in a daze.]
This was exactly the predicament Tang Chenyue found himself in.
“Never mind. Let’s win this game first.”
The winds of change howled through the arena.
Suddenly, cheers erupted from all directions.
“Charge ahead, Martial Brother Tang!”
“Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, I want to be your Martial Sister!”
Bai Lian remained calm, her eyes scanning the arena.
The battles between Golden Core Stage cultivators were worlds apart from those at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages. At this level, the key to victory lay in the comprehensive use of spells, formations, talismans, and Magic Treasures. It was incredibly difficult to suppress an opponent using only a single method—unless there was a vast difference in strength between the combatants.
The Second Martial Sister specialized in fire-type spells.
Thus, this was shaping up to be an extraordinary battle.
Red and green lights intertwined, and dazzling magical symbols flashed through the sky, mesmerizing the onlookers.
Each clash of spells left the ground beneath them cracked and hollowed out.
Now, Tang Chenyue’s deep cultivation base began to show its worth. Under his relentless assault, Xiao Jinse retreated, step by step.
But as the saying goes, a protagonist is a protagonist.
Xiao Jinse’s intense focus on enhancing her fire-elemental Spiritual Root had not been in vain. At the critical moment, Tang Chenyue’s spirit Qi operation faltered, causing his hard-earned advantage to slip away.
What followed was a battle of attrition—a tug-of-war.
With Tang Chenyue’s spirit Qi still burning, it seemed the invincible Pure Love War God was on the verge of collapsing.
“Why?”
The onlookers stared, dumbfounded.
If the Pure Love War God fell…
That was a terrifying thought.
One after another, people stood up, shouting words of encouragement.
“Martial Brother Tang, stand up! You can’t lose!”
“Martial Brother Tang, show your true ability and stop playing around!”
“Martial Brother Tang, have you forgotten Cai Yuanjia by the Qing Shan Lake? It was you who gave me the courage to live on, Martial Brother Tang, don’t stop!”
Yes.
Tang Chenyue’s breath came in heavy gasps.
What is power?
These shouts… were power!
He felt a surge of gratitude.
Everything he had done up to now hadn’t been in vain.
His grand wish had always been to purify the increasingly corrupt world and restore the purity of relationships between people.
Tang Chenyue understood that this was nearly impossible.
Some said that in order to transcend to the other shore, one must fulfill a grand wish that affects all beings. If that was true, then he was doomed never to reach the other shore.
But he didn’t care.
He never aspired to transcend. He simply wanted to do more, to ensure that fewer people in the world would be hurt by those around them.
And so…
Tang Chenyue used his dual swords to prop himself up, struggling to his feet.
Nearby, Xiao Jinse, panting heavily, raised the Blowing Snow Sword.
Tang Chenyue’s eyes reflected the flames—those flames mirrored his heart at that moment.
Burning.
Reburning.
The flames blazed with a bright green light, emanating from Tang Chenyue’s heart.
The spring breeze blew over the south bank of the river once again!
The mighty vitality surged like a vast wave, enveloping the entire arena in an instant.
“I can’t stay here… aarrrghhh…”
Tang Chenyue took a step forward, his potential growing with each movement.
Though his body was covered in wounds, he miraculously recovered, as though nothing had ever happened.
Suddenly, a chorus of shocked exclamations filled the air.
“The God of War is immortal! The God of War is immortal!”
“What the heck is going on here?”
“Is this the power of the Pure Love War God?”
It was crucial to note that Tang Chenyue had neither taken medicine nor burned his life force or soul.
“This is a breakthrough in mindset!” Bai Lian exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise.
She could see that Tang Chenyue’s body hadn’t healed, and no matter how strong he appeared, the laws of nature could not be defied.
However, his mental power had more than doubled in that moment!
Not only that, his divine sense had spontaneously created a fantasy world.
If the Second Martial Sister didn’t break through the illusion quickly, there was a real chance that Tang Chenyue would seize the opportunity and defeat her.
“This is becoming troublesome,” Bai Lian muttered, her brow furrowed.
It seemed likely that the Second Martial Sister might lose this time.
Xiao Jinse, too, was taken aback.
She hadn’t expected her opponent to have such a move, and now she was caught off guard, unable to use her last card.
She had originally planned to save that move for Su Youwei.
But now…
Should she hide it for the next great competition?
However, as she saw the nature of the illusion, a faint smile spread across her face.
The illusion created by the Pure Love War God naturally tested the loyalty of one’s feelings!
In truth…
“I’m a Pure Love War God too!”
Kill!
She had to make it to the finals and defeat Su Youwei, the one who had tried to steal Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian from her.
For this goal, she was willing to knock down anything that stood in her way!
“Martial Brother Tang, let me carry on your aspirations!”
Now…
Xiao Jinse, as if strolling through a spring meadow, walked effortlessly out of the illusion, her heart unwavering.
Then…
In the stunned gaze of Tang Chenyue.
In the astonished gaze of Bai Lian.
Amidst countless stares of awe…
She placed the Blowing Snow Sword on Tang Chenyue’s shoulder.
“Martial Brother Tang, you lost.”
So quiet.
It was so quiet that the fall of a needle could be heard.
The last flicker of flame from the Burning Snow Sword extinguished in that moment.
Slowly, the green light emanating from Tang Chenyue also faded away.
He lost.
Tang Chenyue accepted it with a heavy heart.
The Pure Love War God may be immortal, but even he had fallen.
His strength had ultimately been insufficient.
If he continued using the same old methods, his potential would be limited. He needed to blaze a new trail.
Yet…
Though he sighed, a sense of peace settled in his chest.
Ultimately, the one who defeated him was another Pure Love War God, and that realization made his defeat much easier to bear.
“You won.”
He dropped his dual swords with a clatter.
Kuang Dang.
The sharp sound broke the stillness, snapping the host of the competition out of his daze.
There was no helping it—the situation had flipped too suddenly.
The host shouted urgently, “The winner is Xiao Jinse of the Qiongming Peak!”
“Aahhh…”
Suddenly, cries of disbelief filled the square.
Bai Lian exhaled deeply.
It seemed…
She had underestimated her Martial Sister.
Her Martial Sister had truly grown up!
