I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot - Chapter 749

Chapter 749: The Sound of the Beating War Drum

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. The day of reckoning had arrived and everyone was waiting for the storm to descend.

After the Heavenly Palace issued the declaration of war, the trilateral forces of the Wang family, Si family, and the Celestial Demon King did not cease, but instead, they intensified their efforts to recruit disciples and absorbed the Origins of all dimensions at a faster speed.

Many monks did not heed the warnings of the Heavenly Palace and chose to join these three forces, becoming one of their pawns to fight the Heavenly Palace together! This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to them.

In the fourth dimension, even with the endless battles between the two dimensions, everyone could still feel the fluctuating waves of terrifying energy coming from the Wang family. This kind of fluctuation came from the condensation of the power of Origins. It was so powerful that the sky began to scream and the earth began to tremble.

“Do you think the Heavenly Palace would still dare to come?” asked someone.

“It’s hard to say now that the three forces have taken up arms together. Not to mention, they’re joined by so many skilled fighters. Why, the number of second-step Wisdom Elites alone has already grown to sixteen! Their combined power could raze an entire dimension to the ground,” answered someone. It was obvious whose side he would be betting on. No one would even think the Heavenly Palace was cowardly should they decide to give up on their attacks.

“You forgot to mention that they had absorbed a lot of Origins and have the power of ‘God’ behind them,” added someone.

“Grandpa, I hope the Heavenly Palace wins!” said a kid suddenly. “My cultivation speed’s so slow because of the bad guys! They’ve been consuming the Origins nonstop, causing one catastrophe after another. The entire dimension has become ugly and scarred because of them!”

“The dimension would become broken if things continue like this,” said the kid’s grandfather bitterly.

The kid was just saying it like it was. In fact, with the extraction of the Origins, the Wisdom of the fourth dimension had fallen into chaos, the space had become thinner, and cracks started to form from time to time. A small world had even fallen through one of the cracks, wiping out all its inhabitants instantly.

However, the human heart was the most complex thing in the world. As long as it could benefit one’s self, what was the harm in ruining a whole dimension?

“The Heavenly Palace said this is all a conspiracy. They wouldn’t lie about something like this!” said the kid innocently.

The old man patted the child’s head and said kindly, “Hehe, if the Heavenly Palace really comes, grandpa will join them in beating the bad guys!”

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor, Cultivator Junjun, and Goddess Nuwa were standing at the Southern Sky Gate with an army of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Guards behind them.

This time, it was an unprecedented fierce battle. Thus, the Jade Emperor and the others would not stay in the palace, but fight across the dimensions together! Cultivator Junjun turned to face the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Guards. With a flick of his wrist, a wine jar appeared in his hand.

“This wine was given by the expert when we visited him the last time. It’s made of the blood of a rainbow deer, a black dragon, and a heaven-eyed donkey! All of which were Wisdom Elites. It contains the essence of the world and its Origins! This will be our war wine! Let’s drink it together!” said Cultivator Junjun majestically.

“Drink this wine together, fight for the seven dimensions, fight for the expert!” shouted Yang Jing.

“Drink this wine together, fight for the seven dimensions, fight for the expert!” roared the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Guards, their voices resounding like thunder. The sound of their voice was so majestic that it overwhelmed all the other sounds there.

Cultivator Junjun waved his hand and the wine jar flew into the sky before it then shattered with a bang. The bottomless divine wine rained down on everyone’s heads. One taste and everyone’s expressions were the same as the auras on their bodies were ignited like a blazing flame.

“Let’s set off!” Juling Shen widened his eyes and yelled, then raised his hand to beat the war drum.

Endless auspicious clouds surrounded by divine light accompanied by thunderous drums set forward!

In the fourth dimension, Wang Teng, Si Dekuai, and Zhu Yiqun stood on the top of the mountain. Below them were countless monks, waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Palace.

Time passed by, and in a blink of an eye, it was already sunset.

“Hehe, it looks like they didn’t dare to come.”

“I’m not surprised. Only those who’re looking for death would dare to mess with a lineup such as ours.”

“Yeah, who do they think they are? What gives them the right to say who gets the Origins?”

“We have the Wang family to thank for the Origins. These three days had been more effective than three thousand years of cultivation! Hahaha.”

“I really got stronger so they must be lying about the conspiracy.”

“It seems that the seventh dimension is all talk and no action.”

Suddenly, the sound of a beating drum came from a distance. It was like rolling thunder, or a wave raging against the shore. One after another, the beating of the drums resounded without stopping, and it was getting louder and louder! High spirits came with the drums which contained a kind of supreme coercion, making many people’s hearts beat faster and blood flowed faster.

The next moment, rays of light appeared in the distance. Under the auspicious clouds, there was a rainbow and a quadruple vision of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, as if even this world was welcoming their arrival.

Countless people trembled, their eyes wide as saucers as they stared blankly at the scene before them.

“They’re here! The Heavenly Palace people are actually here!”

“Have they no fear of ‘God’? Where did they get their confidence from?”

Some people went slack while others were filled with enthusiasm.

“Hahaha, good on them! I can’t wait to decimate them!”

“They better say their last prayers for, I, Ye Canglan, will annihilate every one of them!”

“I raise my sword to heaven!”

“I’ll fight them to the death!”

“Me, too!”

One figure after another appeared—some came together, some alone—and they stepped into the camp of the Heavenly Palace as they charged towards the Wang family.

Cultivator Junjun and others stood at the forefront and would salute whenever someone joined. This phenomenon had been happening along the way, and the number of people joining them had more than doubled! Among them, there were even two second-step Wisdom Elites!

In the camp of the Wang family, their ridicule had long since disappeared as they all stared at the direction of the Heavenly Palace with horror.

“They actually came…” They looked at the people who had joined the Heavenly Palace in dismay and disbelief.

A young man and an old man faced each other far away, with complexity flowing in their eyes. The old man was calm and disappointed, and the young man was anxious. They were master and disciple, but they were on opposite sides since they had different ideals. Apart from this old man, there were other people who wanted to bring back those who were lost in the pursuit of power.

The drums got louder. Juling Sheng was high in murderous spirit, beating the drum hard, seemingly wanting to bore through the enemies with his eyes. Wisdom was like the wind, covering the sky and everyone’s hearts.

Wang Teng still stood on the spot, looking up at the Heavenly Palace, watching the drums descend as well as the many monks joining the Heavenly Palace camp. His eyes remained calm as water.

“Charge!” roared Wang Teng, exuding coldness and killing intent.

Following his order, the many monks suddenly stepped out and blasted punches in the direction of the Heavenly Palace. 13 second-step Wisdom Elites attacked together and the shock wave flung the sound of the drums away as it headed toward the Heavenly Palace camp. It was a simple punch, but it contained the terrifying Power of Wisdom.

The sky split open. The space cracks were like the ocean, turning into a terrifying behemoth swallowing everyone up.

“Hahaha, I like their style! God wouldn’t accept the birth of Xiao Chengfeng, but my sword cultivation’s still historical like the long night” Xiao Chengfeng raised his hand and pointed his long sword into the sky. It burst with energy as it charged straight at the second-step Wisdom Elite. “Hey, you, standing next to him, don’t go anywhere, okay? I want to kill two Wisdom Elites with one sword!”

The sharp sword light tore a crack in the space, revealing an indomitable momentum.

“Brothers, follow my lead and kill them!” Yang Jian’s face was solemn. Holding the Three-Pointed Double-Edge Blade in his hand and charging first, his third eye shot a ray of light that contained the destructive Power of Wisdom. It shot straight at the second-step Wisdom Elite opposite him.

“Eat this!” Juling Shen put down the drum, held an ax in both hands, turned his body into a mountain, and rushed into the battlefield as well.

Cultivator Junjun, Goddess Nuwa, and Ye Liuyun also brought out their treasures and they fearlessly engaged in the battle against the second-step Wisdom Elites.

In addition to the Heavenly Palace people, the two second-step Wisdom Elites who joined them were also picking off their enemies like flies. Wisdom flowed around them and their eyes showed fierce determination in keeping to their Dao.

“Ye Canglan, my rival, let’s fight again! Hahaha—,” roared a big man with a black giant sword on his back as he went straight to Ye Canglan with a smile.

He held the hilt of the sword and lifted the sword above him like a giant ax. The void seemed unable to bear the weight of the giant sword and was collapsing.

“You’re no rival of mine since you forcibly absorbed the origin!” Ye Canglan’s expression was cold. The silver spear in his hand was like a white dragon as it pierced the giant sword with cold light.

“I should be the one saying that! Now, you and I are no longer on the same level!” The brawny man let out a furious roar and the power of the giant sword suddenly increased. The power of the Origins was overwhelming, crushing down on Ye Canglan like a heavy hammer.

The immense force made them fall from the void like meteors as they smashed straight into the ground. A crater appeared beneath their landing and the aftershock tore the surrounding area into dust.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Canglan was pushed 100,000 miles across the earth by the strong man and all the mountains collapsed along the way. In the next moment, Ye Canglan was swept off the ground by the brawny man like a cannonball.

The brawny man stepped on the void and walked toward Ye Canglan with a gloating smile. “Ye Canglan, you’ve defeated me six times, but this time, I finally won!”

Ye Canglan’s mouth was bleeding. His silver spear was like snow, and his body was like jade. “Did you really win? The moment you chose this path was the moment you lost yourself,” he said proudly.

The brawny man’s expression changed drastically and he was extremely furious. “You’re full of bullsh*t. Die!”

Ye Canglan’s body was dazzling and his eyes were as firm as stars. His momentum was getting stronger and stronger and his fighting spirit was rising. “Under my way, everything’s nothing!”

Even if he was facing the power of Origins, he could still use his own way to fight and suppress his opponent!

Blood stained the sky, bones and flesh covered the earth, and all kinds of spells were as brilliant as fireworks, but it was actually the grim reaper’s scythe, harvesting one life after another. On this day, countless weak creatures perished, accompanying the fall of the Wisdom Elites. The universe was silent, seemingly in mourning.

“The long road to immortality is paved with mountains of bones. No matter the heart of the Dao or the heart of invincibility, it’s like a moth to a flame, looking for the ultimate splendor of a lifetime.” Goddess Nuwa looked at the fierce battlefield and was suddenly overcome with emotion.

Being the creator of humans, she had a deep understanding of life and death. Seeing the death of endless creatures, she seemed to be able to feel their will before their deaths. This made her have a breakthrough during the battle.

When she had a meal at Li Nianfan’s place, she accumulated a lot of power, but her heart was still unsteady, making enlightenment out of her grasp. At this time, she had grasped it, and just like that, she became a second-step Wisdom Elite. Strange energy ripples radiated out from her and Wisdom converged like flowing water.

“Sh*t! She’s having a breakthrough!” The second-step Wisdom Elite’s face changed instantly and he exclaimed, “Someone, come help me! We must stop her!”

“I’ll stop her!” A fist blasted across the space, launching directly at Goddess Nuwa.

Goddess Nuwa raised her hand, gently pushed outward with her palm, and easily suppressed the incoming punch.

“The power of Origins! Why does she have the power of the Origin, too?” said the man in shock.

“It’s not just her. All the people from the Heavenly Palace can use the power of the Origins!”

“How is it possible? Can they also extract the Origins of Dimension?”

“No, where did their Origins come from? The Origins of the seventh dimension is still full!”

Everyone started to feel frightened. The power of the Origins was above everything and could increase the combat power to the extreme. Originally, the group of Wisdom Elites of the Wang family should be able to crush the monks of the same rank. However, as they started fighting against the Heavenly Palace, they discovered that they were wrong. It was them who were being surpassed. It felt so surreal to them.

Cultivator Junjun, Xiao Chengfeng, Yang Jing, Goddess Nuwa, and the Jade Emperor had all become second-step Wisdom Elites, but they were able to fight against two second-step Wisdom Elites at the same time.

The rest of the Heavenly Guards such as Xing Ya, Ye Liuyun, and Juling Shen could also rule the roost in the realm of first-step Wisdom Elites. In fact, they would have no problem defeating a second-step Wisdom Elite, too.

The Origins they had were difficult for others to match, and theirs were more pure, even surpassing those of the Wang family!

“The Heavenly Palace is so abnormal, but nonetheless, they’re doomed from the start!”

“The seventh dimension hides a secret, and the Heavenly Palace is the key to unlocking this secret!”

Everyone sneered in their hearts, full of confidence. Only the Heavenly Palace people were strong, so once they had taken out all the other weaklings, they would be able to focus all their attacks on the Wisdom Elites of the Heavenly Palace. More crucially, their three strongest fighters—Wang Teng, Si Dekuai, and Zhu Yiqun—had not even joined the battle yet. Any one of them joining the battlefield was enough to tilt the balance of victory instantly!

“The Origins they have must be the work of the expert behind them. The one who entered the state of the ultimate existence.” Wang Teng looked at the battlefield indifferently and said coldly, “But the farce will end now!”

He finally stepped out into the void and walked toward the battlefield as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
