Chapter 145: We will win!

Heaven's Dao bestows blessing; for their cultivators, it is a huge boost in combat power, but for cultivators from another realm, it is a deadly poison!

Therefore, at the moment Heaven's Dao bestows blessing, cultivators from another realm will hurriedly shout to retreat.

Yet, how could the cultivators of this realm who have received Heaven's Dao blessing easily let them go?

In an instant, the battle turned; Ye Chen led the cultivators of this realm and charged into the enemy camp.

Ye Chen originally wanted to take out his Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but he realized this was merely a fragment of the River of Time, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner could not absorb their souls.

Because this is something that has already happened; although the outcome is different, it is still unavoidable—a shattered fate.

Because Ye Chen triggered Heaven's Dao blessing, the battle became one-sided; soon, the cultivators from another realm were defeated by them in utter rout.

Boom—

Ye Chen drew forth the chaos thunder from beyond the heavens; a tremendous aura of destruction descended, and in an instant, a large number of cultivators from another realm all perished.

Not long after, the cultivators from another realm fled and returned to their own world.

"Although it's meaningless, I still did it."

Ye Chen said, looking at those fleeing cultivators from another realm.

The battle was briefly brought under control, but it could not last long; soon, the cultivators from another realm would rally and return, Ye Chen did not know if he could trigger Heaven's Dao blessing again, but this time he protected them.

Without late-stage Mahayana cultivators participating, Ye Chen could not have done this, chasing them down to kill.

At this moment, Lian Yi came to Ye Chen's side.

She looked at Ye Chen, her expression somewhat complex.

"This time... thank you."

Ye Chen listened to Lian Yi's words, always feeling something was off, though he couldn't put his finger on it; he just felt her tone was wrong.

"It's fine; I am also a native cultivator of this realm, I am merely defending my home."

Ye Chen said to Lian Yi.

After he finished speaking, several cultivators walked toward him, their gazes upon Ye Chen filled with admiration.

"Fellow Daoist, thank you."

"No need for many words; I will bring out my aged fine wine and share a drink with you, fellow Daoist."

……

Many cultivators expressed their gratitude to Ye Chen; Ye Chen looked at them, his brows slightly furrowed—clearly he too is a cultivator of this realm, so why are they thanking him?

"Everyone, there's no need for this; I merely did what was my duty."

Ye Chen returned the salute with clasped hands.

However, this time they did not say much more.

"Let's first go see Ye Ming and Senior Brother Huo He; this time the cultivators from another realm came too suddenly and fiercely, and Ye Ming and Senior Brother Huo He suffered considerable injuries while trying to intercept them."

Lian Yi said to the cultivators surrounding Ye Chen.

After hearing Lian Yi's words, they lightly nodded and gradually returned to the dojo of the Samsara Immortal King.

"Let's go take a look as well."

After they left, Ye Chen also said to Lian Yi.

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Lian Yi lightly nodded; immediately, Ye Chen and Lian Yi returned together to the dojo.

At this moment, Ye Ming and Huo He's condition is poor, but fortunately they still have a breath clinging to them and have not died.

"Have we defeated them?"

Ye Ming spoke weakly; at the moment they returned, he knew they had won this battle, for he saw the joy on their faces—the joy of victory.

"Mm, we won."

Ye Chen said softly; upon hearing Ye Chen say that, Ye Ming and Huo He showed a hint of relief on their faces.

"We held the line."

"You should first tend to your wounds properly; we… will win."

Ye Chen said, but his words carried a touch of sorrow, for he had long known their fate—they… could not win.

"Haha, yes, we will win!"

"What Fellow Daoist Ye Chen said is correct; we will surely win!"

……

It is unclear whether it is because Ye Chen triggered Heaven's Dao blessing or because of his valiant performance, but it made them believe they could win this battle.

"Tend to your wounds first; if another enemy comes, I will be the first to go out and meet them!"

Ye Chen said, his tone filled with killing intent.

Ye Ming and Huo He heard Ye Chen say that, yet they said nothing, merely giving a slight nod.

And Ye Chen also saw the expression in their eyes, which was quite strange—seeming… relieved, yet also… admiring.

Ye Chen was a bit unable to understand their gaze, and even the mixed eyes did not speak, leaving him with a persistent bad premonition.

At this moment, Ye Ming and Huo He were supported by several junior disciples as they walked away; Ye Chen watched their retreating backs and said nothing.

"You say, will we really win?"

Lian Yi's voice suddenly rang in Ye Chen's ear, her tone revealing sorrow.

"It will happen; it will definitely happen."

"But… we are the old law, while they… are the new law."

Lian Yi said; after Ye Chen heard Lian Yi's words, he also understood that there is a huge gap between the old law and the new law; otherwise, they would not have won with such difficulty.

"Whether it's the new law or the old law, they are both laws, each having its merits."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, his tone carried an indomitable resolve to move forward without hesitation!

After Ye Chen finished saying that, Lian Yi saw his resolute gaze, and for some reason she felt like smiling.

She wasn't laughing at Ye Chen's ignorance, nor at his fervent courage; she was laughing at herself, laughing that she would actually be this fearful.

I know, cultivate well—I will send you the Immortal Spirit.

Lian Yi spoke, making a move to leave; Ye Chen watched her retreating back, then suddenly spoke.

Fairy Lian Yi, if I know some people are destined to die, but I still want to save them, even if it may end up futile, I will still do it—do you think that's meaningful?

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Lian Yi halted her turning motion, she looked at Ye Chen, she saw his bewildered eyes, and then she said.

So bewildered, that's not like you.

Even if it ends up futile in the end, you still did it; in the process of striving, it's far more meaningful than the result, isn't it?

After Lian Yi finished speaking, she rode the wind away; Ye Chen watched her retreating back, pondering her words in his mind.

Yes, in the process of striving, it's far more meaningful than the result.

Afterward, Ye Chen was no longer bewildered.

Just then, his body underwent a subtle change.

From within his body came a sound like shattering glass.

Crack—

Until the end.

Boom—

God Transformation Tenth Layer, achieved!

I never expected that a single change of mind could let your cultivation breakthrough; perhaps even a heaven's pride is no more than this.

Hun Yan's voice suddenly sounded; Ye Chen heard Hun Yan's voice, and his brows furrowed.

Just now, when I was fighting, why didn't you come out to fight alongside me?

Ye Chen asked, his tone not questioning but simply curious what Hun Yan was up to.

I have my own arrangements; it won't be long before I tell you why.

After Hun Yan finished speaking, Ye Chen no longer questioned Hun Yan; having spent so much time together, he knew Hun Yan's habits.

What it wants to say, it will naturally say; what it doesn't want to say, no matter how much he says, it won't say.
