Chapter 1732: Chapter 825: Suppressing and Slaying the Old Dog Sima! (Part 2)

"You are indeed quite the figure. Placed a thousand years ago, you might have rivaled the existence of the legendary Grand Ancestor of Chu, but it’s a pity... a pity you’ve chosen to throw your life away."

Chen Yuan allowed Sima Yuande to speak eloquently at his leisure, not hurried in the least. A barely perceptible gleam flickered in his eyes, and then he saw the dense Qi Fortune surrounding Sima Yuande.

Not a wasted trip!

This old thing truly has Qi Fortune upon him.

"Continue..."

Seeing Sima Yuande pause, Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said.

"Heh heh, I know what you’re thinking. Nowadays, those of Moluo, the one at Wudang Mountain, and even that Earth Immortal, are they not all preparing for some countermeasure against the Immortal Domain?

The more I say, the better prepared you all are?"

Sima Yuande laughed heartily: "If you really think so, then you are entirely overthinking it. The strength of the Immortal Domain far exceeds your imagination. How can humans compare to immortals?

The reason I have been so verbose is mainly because I have slept for so long and wish to find someone to speak with. Before my end, I also wish to take a good look at you, a natural prodigy."

"Dying, to speak frankly, would indeed be a pity..."

"If you were to die, it wouldn’t be considered a pity." Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

Sima Yuande sighed deeply:

"I’ve lived for centuries, witnessing the decline of dynasties, the rise of new ones, the tempest of the world, and the chaos of the human realm. There is indeed no pity in dying.

Yet... who says I must die?"

"With your cultivation reaching the Six Realms, you too must sense the changes between heaven and earth. I won’t hide it from you; it is indeed related to the Immortal Domain. When heaven and earth are truly clear,

the mighty ones within the Immortal Domain can descend to the Lower Realm. The reason you act is likely because you’ve realized this point and were forced into action, hoping to ascend the throne of the Human Emperor before the Immortal Domain descends.

You aim to completely remove me as a problem, all of this... I am fully aware." Sima Yuande looked at Chen Yuan with a half-smile, a look of having thoroughly seen through him.

"As expected of the Grand Ancestor of Jin, you have some insight." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"But do you know, opening the Immortal Domain does not necessarily require waiting for heaven and earth to clear. There are ways to hasten it in the Mortal World. What I said in Shuzhou City was true.

Whenever you arrive, the Immortal Domain will descend then."

"Is that so?"

"It is... Ah, this Mortal World has grown tiresome. I’ve long wanted to go up and have a look. Over the years, working for the Immortal Domain, I’ve accumulated quite a bit of merit, enough to ascend.

As for your throne of the Human Emperor, I’m afraid you won’t be able to assume it."

Seemingly finished, Sima Yuande took a step forward, causing the winds and clouds to drastically change. The boundless Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy coalesced into a massive vortex, swirling between heaven and earth.

The position of Human Emperor is the destiny passed down from the Martial Emperor of the Central Plains’ Human Race. Not everyone can achieve it, and the Immortal Domain will not allow such a person to emerge. Therefore, from beginning to end, he never had the slightest intention.

If he couldn’t achieve it, why let Chen Yuan?

"The Great Jin has lasted over two hundred years with a stable national condition. Even though the nation is now in ruins, the national fortune remains. With this vast national fortune, I can open the Immortal Sect in advance and summon immortals to descend..."

With each step Sima Yuande took upward, his aura grew stronger and stronger. Staring into the vast void, he spoke solemnly:

"In the Mortal World, Sima Yuande respectfully invites the Immortals to descend, Immortal Sect... open!"

Sima Yuande roared angrily, and an immense invisible national fortune emerged from the Capital, sweeping through heaven and earth. Just as it was about to rush toward the nine heavens, suddenly, the national fortune lost control.

It quickly dissipated into heaven and earth.

Sima Yuande immediately froze in place, eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze suddenly fixed on Sima Ke near Chen Yuan, speaking coldly:

"Fool, open your Spirit!"

Yet, Sima Ke said nothing, as if he hadn’t heard.

"Foolish thing, do you really want to abdicate and let the Sima Family vanish from the Jianghu, unwilling to help this old man open the Heavenly Gate and eliminate Chen Yuan?"

Sima Ke lifted his head, a smile curling his lips, and said:

"Whether the Sima Family falls or not, what does it have to do with me? My last name is Chen!"

"You brat, you seek death!"

Sima Yuande shouted furiously, and terrifying rule power instantly exploded, surging directly toward Sima Ke. Such terrifying might immediately filled Sima Ke with extreme fear.

Trembling in his heart, his legs weakened.

His gaze turned pleadingly to Chen Yuan as if imploring for support, to avoid being discarded after serving his purpose.

"The one seeking death is you."

A faint voice followed, as a formless rule power directly enveloped Sima Ke. Sima Yuande’s influence was instantly suppressed, his methods directly undone.

Step by step, Chen Yuan ascended into the sky, seemingly carrying a world-toppling force, gradually rising to equal Sima Yuande. With a calm gaze, he looked at him and said:

"Even without Sima Ke, you can’t mobilize the national fortune of the Great Jin. You have seen through the thoughts of this King, knowing that this King will certainly act, but why haven’t you thought?

Knowing this, why would I still take action? Just during the gaps when you were speaking those empty words, this King had already arranged to suppress the national fortune of your Great Jin.

You... cannot move!"

"How is this possible! How could you suppress the national fortune of the Great Jin!" Sima Yuande’s pupils contracted sharply, full of disbelief, as if he hadn’t expected Chen Yuan to manage this.

"Of course, by relying on the national fortune of my Great Yan....."

"Impossible, you have yet to establish a nation. How could you possibly gather national fortune!!!" Sima Yuande’s face contorted with anger, knowing well that gathering national fortune is not so simple.
