IS Chapter 90

Chapter 90

Li Yuan flew through the sky like lightning, and naturally, the divine sense of the True Man of the main sect followed immediately.

The black dragon turned around and roared, colliding head-on with that divine sense, and immediately there was another earth-shattering tremor.

After one strike, it quickly changed direction.

This made Shen Jingzhen feel that the wind in the Void Realm was even colder. After cultivating immortality for over a hundred years, it was the first time he experienced such dizziness and lightheadedness.

Why was he captured just by passing by a mountain range, and forced to go against the Upper Purity Main Sect while flying?

He had previously told Lin Zhu that there was a dark-colored Jiaolong essence in the Micro-Snow Palace’s cold pool recently. Where did that saying come from? What Jiaolong essence could grow to be like this?

Shen Jingzhen finally understood why Lin Zhu wanted to leave so quickly, as if there were floods and ferocious beasts chasing behind him. He even subtly asked if he had any plans to withdraw from the Void Realm.

Now he only felt that he should have abandoned his disciples at the time and left with Shen Xingge and Dan Dingzong.

Before long, Li Yuan knew where he should go.

There was a direction that, every time he approached, the offensive of the True Man of the main sect became particularly fierce, as if determined to stop him. Several times, even, towering Dharma forms manifested in the void to attack, the cultivation of the Guardian True Men was as profound as heaven and earth. Ye Zhuo fought with them several times but did not gain the upper hand.

When their true bodies came after them, it would be even more threatening.

Coming to the human world, it was the first time he had encountered such a powerful enemy. Li Yuan was determined to go in that direction.

Gloomily looking at the cloud-covered and mist-locked front, Li Yuan activated the Wind and Thunder techniques to strengthen himself. Ye Zhuo knew his plan, but at this moment, ripples arose in his sea of consciousness, and Shen Jingzhen wanted to transmit a message to him.

Ye Zhuo slightly withdrew the barrier of his sea of consciousness, and received Shen Sect Master’s divine sense: “Palace Master Ye, that is the direction of the Ghost Realm!”

Ghost Realm?

Ye Zhuo frowned and looked ahead.

The black dragon’s speed was very fast. After using the Wind and Thunder bloodline techniques, it became even faster, rushing towards the direction of the Ghost Realm like a meteor.

Using his divine sense to look forward, he could already see a gloomy, white barrier between heaven and earth. That was the boundary barrier, isolating the two realms and preventing passage.

“Li Yuan,” he said, “You’ll hit a wall. Be careful.”

Li Yuan also saw the barrier.

–It looks a bit thin.

As he got closer to the Ghost Realm, the two Guardian True Men desperately used many of their abilities, and two Dharma forms, one on the left and one on the right, blasted towards him.

Why, so afraid?

Throwing a few immortal artifacts over, Li Yuan replied to Ye Zhuo, “Hold on tight.”

“?”

Ye Zhuo’s fingers grabbed the dragon horns. In the next moment, he felt the black dragon’s body suddenly gather strength—it was actually rushing towards the barrier between the two realms like an arrow shot from a bow!

In that instant, Ye Zhuo’s last thought was that Dragon Li Yuan should be a dragon who knew what he was doing.

…Should be, right?

The white barrier rapidly magnified in front of Ye Zhuo’s eyes, and he could see the mysterious boundary patterns on it.

–Then, there was the silence in which the sounds of the world receded like a tide.

It wasn’t that there was no sound, it was that the sound was so loud that he couldn’t hear it.

Everything around him slowed down. Ye Zhuo quietly watched the crack that was blasted open between the two realms. Fragments of the boundary barrier flew around him like white glass, and the black dragon soared out of the Void Realm, carrying him towards the blood-red and deep sky of the Ghost Realm.

Ancient books once said that if there is a natural passage between two adjacent realms, those who meet the conditions can pass through.

If not, unless the two realms are extremely close and about to collide, only then can a peerless expert in the cultivation of realm principles, under a coincidental opportunity, briefly open a passage.

But the ancient books did not say that one day, one could ride a dragon in the midst of wind, thunder, clouds, and lightning, smashing the barrier between the two realms and going straight there.

From afar, Ye Zhuo heard Shen Xingge’s cheers.

He didn’t say anything, reaching out and stroking the cold scales on the dragon’s body.

Then he looked at his palm.

His palm and fingers were stained with traces of blood seeping out of the gaps in the scales.

Ye Zhuo: “…Dragon Li Yuan?”

“What?”

“How are you?”

“Huh?” Li Yuan didn’t understand what he was asking for a moment.

Did he even break his brain? Ye Zhuo said, “You’re injured.”

“Am I?” Li Yuan muttered to himself, “I seemed a little dizzy just now, but I’m fine now. Your boundary barrier was thinner than I thought.”

The boundary barrier was thin because the human and ghost realms were about to come into contact. If the boundary barrier was not thin, it would be questionable whether they would still be alive. He didn’t feel it himself? Ye Zhuo touched the surface of the scales again, but no new blood was seeping out.

He withdrew his hand, only to be asked by the dragon, “Why are you touching my scales?”

Ye Zhuo simply didn’t want to pay attention to him, looking down below.

Having arrived in the Ghost Realm, Li Yuan slowed down, hovering slowly near the crack that he had smashed out of the barrier, the Guardian True Men were still chasing, but the dragon smashed them with magical treasures.

Why was the Upper Purity Mountain so unwilling to let them enter the Ghost Realm?

Ye Zhuo looked at the environment below.

Coming out of the boundary barrier, they had arrived in a strange place.

As far as the eye could see, the soil on the ground was a large expanse of dark red, even the undulating mountains were the color of this aged blood. There were no rivers, only some dried-up riverbeds like blood vessels. The sky was pitch black, with no stars, no moon, and no wind.

It was quite different from the records he had seen.

“Is the Ghost Realm like this?” Ye Zhuo said.

“The places I’ve been to aren’t like this,” Li Yuan also looked at the unfamiliar scene below.

Not seeing anything amiss, after all, it was someone else’s territory, Li Yuan cast a concealment spell on himself and flew low towards the direction that seemed to have buildings.

It seemed to be an unusually dilapidated Ghost Realm town, but the periphery was guarded by many ghosts wearing dark heavy armor, with strong auras and filled with Yin energy.

“Look at their armor. There are thirteen ghost masks on their shoulders, backs, and chests. They are Ghost Emperor’s personal guards,” Li Yuan said.

On one side, the Ghost Emperor’s personal guards appeared in a border town at the junction of the human and ghost realms, and on the other side, the Upper Purity Mountain was trying to stop them from entering here by all means. In this town, something very unusual must be happening.

“Interesting,” Ye Zhuo said.
