Chapter 1794: Tianqi Barrier

"If you could easily break through this, then you would truly be capable."

"You provoking me like this is nothing more than wanting me to use my full strength to shatter your barrier, so that you can consume a large amount of my Original Power; it would be much easier for you to deal with me then, wouldn't it?" Chen Yu said leisurely.

"Heh, yes, but if you want to come in, you must pass this hurdle," Guiwu smiled slightly. "This is something every Hunter must experience; no one can avoid it, and neither can you."

"This barrier uses the entire Snow Mountain as an Array Base. It can be said that there is a continuous stream of power being drawn into it. You... be careful," the Snow Maiden looked at the barrier with some trepidation.

"That is true. The entire Snow Mountain's earth veins converge, and its power can be said to be inexhaustible. But right now is the very moment when heaven and earth exchange and yin and yang intersect. Taking advantage of this moment, breaking the barrier is not a difficult task," Chen Yu sneered, his right hand grabbing out to hold Lichen.

He took a step forward, and his person instantly floated in mid-air.

He made a beckoning gesture upward with Lichen in his right hand, and the sky instantly became covered in dark clouds.

The pitch-black clouds swirled down from the horizon, condensing around Lichen.

At the same time, purple lightning flickered within the black clouds, a scene of the coming apocalypse.

The Snow Maiden looked up in terror. Even though she had special abilities and could summon wind and snow, this was the first time she had seen someone who could manifest an apocalyptic scene just by raising their hands and feet.

Guiwu's expression changed drastically. Even through the barrier, he could already feel the power within Chen Yu's purple lightning that was almost capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Inside Liehun Hall, more than a dozen figures flashed by. Everyone looked up, staring in horror at the scene outside the barrier.

Honestly, although many Hunters had come before, this was the first time they had seen someone with such tyrannical strength as Chen Yu.

"Lord Guiwu, this..." an old man was almost unable to speak.

"This is a new Hunter. His strength is stronger than all the previous ones, and by a lot," Guiwu's expression sank until it was almost dripping water. "Everyone be careful; I fear we will have to pay a great price this time."

"Everyone need not worry. I see he is just tough on the outside but weak on the inside. Our Tianqi Barrier uses the Snow Mountain as an Array Base, with many earth veins converging underground and earth energy rising through the pulses. Even if he is strong, what can he do?" An old man looked at Chen Yu in mid-air with disdain; he did not believe Chen Yu could solve the barrier with a single sword strike.

"Is that so?" Chen Yu smiled slightly, his voice becoming deep and resonant in that instant. "Then do you think this sword strike of mine can break your Tianqi Barrier?"

As his voice fell, the purple lightning in mid-air suddenly thickened. Bolts of purple lightning slithered through the air like electric snakes. The entire Snow Mountain was illuminated by the purple lightning in the sky, the purple radiance almost as if it were about to tear the entire sky apart.

Electric snakes as thick as buckets were drawn down from the horizon and struck directly at the barrier.

With a boom, the entire Snow Mountain trembled, followed by a scorching radiance that shot into the sky and rippled in all directions. The barrier was broken.

The people of Liehun Hall within the barrier were shaken; immediately, nearly half of them were sent flying. The other half felt a violent shock in their hearts, feeling as if the bloodlines in their bodies were on the verge of being shattered.

And the result of this sword strike from Chen Yu not only broke the so-called Tianqi Barrier but also caused nearly half of the people below to lose their lives instantly.

Except for Guiwu and the two old men ranked below him, the remaining people no longer had any fighting strength.

Chen Yu slowly landed on the ground. The three of them, Guiwu included, hurriedly took a step back. They looked at Chen Yu in terror; the confident and arrogant aura they had just now had completely vanished.

"You..." Guiwu looked at Chen Yu, trembling, unable to speak for a moment.

"How was this sword strike of mine?" Chen Yu sealed his right hand, and Lichen emitted a crimson radiance, instantly shrouding the three of them within it.

The three of them shivered. The two people beside Guiwu could no longer withstand the pressure coming from Chen Yu; the two of them fell to their knees on the ground with a thud, the might emanating from Chen Yu making them almost unable to breathe.

"Mr. Chen... we were wrong," Guiwu let out a miserable cry. "Please, for the sake of how difficult it has been for us to survive all these years, spare us."

"Spare you? That's easy to say," Chen Yu sneered. "You said it yourselves, I was sent by the Heavenly Dao to kill you because you defy the heavens."

"Between us, it is either you die or I perish, so spare you? Do you think that is possible?"

As Chen Yu spoke, he took a step forward. It was just a small step, but the might suddenly doubled.

Guiwu fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, while the several people behind him spat out a mouthful of blood with a puff. They collapsed to the ground one after another, dead.

In fact, the strength of these people was much higher than Liu Sheng's.

But once a Dharma Cultivator reaches the middle or late stages, it is almost as if every realm is a different heaven.

Although Chen Yu's realm had only taken one step forward to reach Peering into Divinity, unless his opponents were evenly matched, it was not something that could be compensated for by numbers.

Therefore, these people before him had lost the protection of the Tianqi Barrier and had become extremely fragile.

Guiwu's face was covered in blood. He stared at Chen Yu with a ferocious expression and roared, "Chen Yu, it is true that you are a Hunter, but if I strike with all my might, you will not have an easy time either."

"There is no need for us to fight until both sides are severely injured, right? If you spare me, I guarantee that I will live in seclusion and practice, and I will no longer interfere in any matters of the Fusang nation."

"You think you can threaten me?" Chen Yu grinned. He took a step forward, and Primordial Qi surged out. A powerful and forceful strength radiated from his body, pressing down hard on that guy.

With a thud, Guiwu's head was slammed heavily onto the ground by the pressure. His face was pressed against the ground, revealing a look of terror.

Only then did he realize that Chen Yu had not used his full strength at all. Fight until both sides were severely injured? He had truly overestimated himself.

"You really think too highly of yourself. Do you really think you and I could fight until both sides are severely injured?" Chen Yu grinned. "If I were you, I wouldn't say such things, because a person must have self-awareness."

"I was wrong, I was truly wrong. I beg you to spare me. I, I will hand over our Tianqi Sword. As long as you spare me, I can agree to any condition you have," Guiwu cried out.

"You're being boring now, really," Chen Yu shook his head slowly. "I really thought there were still a few experts living in seclusion here in your Fusang nation, but now it seems I was wrong."

"You are nothing more than ants that are slightly larger in size; as for the rest, you are still completely worthless."
