Chapter 454: The Guardian

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The white-haired elder had scarcely stepped onto the path before an invisible energy enveloped them all. This was an extremely potent formation. Their movement grew arduous under its effect. Mere steps exacted a steep price – faces now glistening with sweat.

“Is that true?” Su Chen muttered, eyeing his storage ring.

Earlier, Ye Ruxue indeed forewarned that formations shrouded all byways here, not solely their present trail. Though of alternatives, theirs perhaps ranked safest. Other paths likely harbored lethal traps. These served but trials, intensifying against each challenger.

“What happens, Fellow Daoist Chen?” cried the elder, brows shooting up in dismay.

Thus far following Su Chen scarcely met mishap, let alone stark ordeal as now suddenly befell their path, inviting uneasy thoughts.

After all, the shattered body of an ancient saint king offered a vivid harbinger. And now, mere steps bridled their freedom! If snared in some murderous engine ahead, how to resist?

For these were no mundane snares, but the arcane devising of the fabled World-Transcending Sword Master! freewe(b)novel.c(o)m

None accurately knew his original strength, but whispers placed it above the Great Emperor Realm, even attaining the legendary True Immortal Realm!

Such a being could readily destroy several great saints.

“Calm yourself. This is but a trial,” Su Chen evenly remarked. “Did you presume the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance casually claimed? Reaching here met the first threshold; overcoming the next test worth. For later…that shall expose individual capacity.”

His gaze lingered on the winding path as he spoke.

As his voice fell, the essence erupted within his body, crashes cascading through channels. Blinding radiance kindled the environs with brilliance as from a blazing sun.

Abounding on that tide, a formidable pressure seized all surroundings. The very earth shuddered as if heaving in an earthquake, stones pounding downward in resonance.

“Uh, how could he be so powerful?” marveled the elder, icy dread now tingeing thoughts.

Earlier, claiming the World-Transcending Sword Master’s inheritance would have marked both Su Chen and the Golden Crow Clan man as victims once secured.

But overwhelming display rebuked such aspirations. This Chen Su’s power outstripped imagination. Appearing a middle-stage great saint, his unfurled aura instead bristled with might rivaling late-stage heights! Fathomless indeed…

“This Chen Su is no simple being,” muttered the Golden Crow Clan man warily. “Not just a formation master but gifted with fearsome brawn.”

While the elder’s veiled schemes posed meager concern, this Chen Su before him overflowed with threat.

Most critically – this man’s cunning in formations. Luring him into some devious formation promised doom. Each formation here was deployed by the World-Transcending Sword Master’s own hand!

If Chen Su had malicious intentions, he wouldn’t even have time to react. Although the other party hadn’t shown any ill intentions before, no one dared to guarantee that the situation would remain the same.

As for the path ahead, the white-haired elder and the middle-aged man from the Golden Crow Clan, though with different thoughts, both chose to release their previously hidden strengths simultaneously. Otherwise, on this narrow path, they would probably find it difficult to make any progress.

Chen Fan, on the other hand, was quite sensible. He symbolically took two steps on the path and then withdrew directly. It wasn’t that he had no interest in the inheritance of the World-Transcending Sword Master but because Su Chen instructed him to stay here. After all, as a Saint Realm cultivator, he wouldn’t be of much use.

As for whether Chen Fan would leave on his own, Su Chen was not worried. As soon as there was any unusual movement, a single thought from Su Chen would be enough to annihilate Chen Fan.

Several days later, Su Chen’s group had traveled tens of thousands of miles. Su Chen was about to continue forward with the two when, at this moment, two mysterious figures appeared ahead.

He looked up slightly and gazed ahead. However, in the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his mind shook. In front of him were two figures, one black and one white, seemingly in a confrontation. However, upon closer observation, it was easy to see that the white figure was completely suppressed and even dared not make any movement.

“That is… Ye Ruxue?”

Su Chen’s expression was somewhat strange as he looked at the white figure. It was already quite remarkable for Ye Ruxue to reach this point. If she continued forward, it wouldn’t be as simple as just understanding the art of formations because the figure blocking her path was not an inanimate object but a living being!

It was hard to imagine that, after countless years, there could still be living beings in this place left by the World-Transcending Sword Master. Moreover, the other party was standing at the end of this narrow path! If nothing unexpected happened, the other party should be the guardian of this path.

“This is… a cultivator in the Quasi-Saint Realm?”

As Su Chen sensed something unusual, the white-haired elder and the middle-aged man from the Golden Crow Clan, who had been thinking a lot since setting foot on this path, also showed strange expressions. They even considered the possibility that Su Chen might secretly kill them, but what they never expected was that they would encounter two living beings here.

Among them, one was even in the Quasi-Saint Realm!

This was simply unbelievable! From the moment they entered this place until now, even a cultivator in the Saint Realm would have to fly for a very long time. How could a cultivator in the Quasi-Saint Realm reach ahead of them?

However, in the next moment, a dreadful thought suddenly flashed in the minds of the two..
