Chapter 854: Grace of the Wind

“The Six-Time Champion Ning Chuan, peerless through the ages, overlooking the nine heavens and ten earths, will surely suppress his enemies and slay the descendants of the Sinful Blood!”

Outside, someone murmured with hope, believing that Ning Chuan, invincible through six lifetimes, would remain unstoppable in this era, sweeping aside all opponents.

At the Immortal’s Fall Ridge, a great battle was imminent.

Without a doubt, this was the most anticipated clash since the geniuses of the three thousand provinces entered the Ancient Immortal Domain a year and a half ago, involving the struggle of supreme figures.

The ridge was lush with vegetation, towering trees reaching for the heavens, and massive vines encircling the mountains. The exposed rocks bore a dark crimson hue, said to be stained by immortal blood.

The four supreme experts stood in the void, exuding an oppressive aura that grew increasingly terrifying.

The sound of metallic chains reverberated through the heavens and earth.

The sound was neither loud nor piercing, yet it sent shivers down the spines of all who heard it, unsettling their souls and halting their breath.

Among the mountains, all spectators paled with fear, their faces drained of color as they staggered backward in horror.

It was Ning Chuan!

Clad in pristine white, he stood proudly at the center, a golden rune shimmering in his right hand before transforming into a golden divine chain that emerged from his palm.

This was mysterious. The golden chain emitted the sound of clashing metal as it slowly extended from his palm, radiant and dazzling.

Its mere appearance caused souls to tremble, hearts to quake. Everyone felt uneasy, overwhelmed by a primal fear that compelled them to prostrate.

“Heaven’s… Judgment!” someone stammered, their lips trembling, barely able to articulate the words. This was Ning Chuan’s formidable treasure technique, an unparalleled method.

In the past, he had relied on this technique to suppress countless foes, forcing the elites of various clans to kneel in submission, utterly outmatched.

Ning Chuan emerged in his snow-white robes, transcendent and aloof, bathed in a soft glow untouched by mortal dust. His silver hair cascaded like light, his eyes deep, his features flawless—a figure of unparalleled grace!

The golden divine chain descended from his right palm, forming a stark contrast with his gentle radiance, embodying supreme and overwhelming pressure, its runes blazing brilliantly.

“Finally, he makes his move, beginning to unleash his invincible techniques one by one!” Outside, a Heavenly God murmured, eyes blazing with anticipation.

“Hmph!”

Qin Hao snorted, his defiance unmistakable.

“Five Elements Manifestation, Heaven Overturned and Earth Shattered!” he roared.

Still young, Qin Hao refused to yield, his competitive spirit driving him to strike first.

Five-colored divine light erupted, transforming into five immortal swords that shot forward, aiming to decapitate the Six-Time Champion. The air hissed as the void itself cracked.

“Heaven and Earth Eternal, the Great Dao’s Judgment,” Ning Chuan murmured softly.

With a clattering sound, the golden divine chain expanded, its golden fragments swaying like waves, while the solid chain condensed into something akin to a true dragon emerging into the world.

It arrived with lightning speed, impossible to evade. First, it coiled around the five immortal swords, then lashed toward Qin Hao, trapping him within a golden world.

“Hmm?” Qin Hao was startled. The golden chain appeared material but was, in fact, a shackle of divine will, binding his soul rather than his physical body.

“Judgment of Sin and Blood!”

Ning Chuan intoned, his body radiating boundless light. The golden chain in his right palm grew even more intense, flooding everything, coiling into a mountain that encircled Qin Hao.

“Whoosh!”

Shi Hao intervened, breaking Qin Hao free.

At the same time, Shi Yi moved, slashing forward with a palm strike. “Let’s finish this quickly and offer his blood in sacrifice!”

“Clatter!”

The golden divine chain blazed, filling the heavens and earth. In an instant, it expanded for dozens of miles, coiling like a serpent, enveloping the void in all directions.

Even Shi Hao and Shi Yi were ensnared, wrapped in golden runes and chains.

The sight was terrifying, sending chills down the spines of all who witnessed it. Ning Chuan, alone, was simultaneously attacking three descendants of the Sinful Blood, his dominance overwhelming.

Boom!

Heaven-shaking bone runes erupted, transforming the area into a golden world, a sea of divine power!

Everyone was stunned. The cultivators at Immortal’s Fall Ridge retreated repeatedly, some collapsing in the forest under the staggering pressure, trembling uncontrollably.

Many shuddered, their souls quaking, unable to resist the urge to kneel and bow toward that direction.

“Heaven’s Judgment, the Great Dao’s Suppression, Divine Chains Spanning the Sky—capable of subduing all gods!” A powerful First-Generation expert sighed in the distance, his heart pounding.

This display of power was terrifying, nearly impossible to resist.

Legend held that once the golden divine chains appeared, even gods would tremble. This was the judgment of the divine, suppressing all powerhouses.

Moreover, it did not target the physical body directly but bound the divine sense, extracting the soul for judgment!

Ning Chuan stood unmoving, his white robes fluttering, transcendent and untainted. The space around him was serene, with petals of the Great Dao swirling, each one crystalline, as he became the center of heaven and earth.

A single golden divine chain extended, coiling across dozens of miles of space.

Qin Hao struggled furiously, feeling his soul being dragged from his body, bound by golden runes. Though he fought desperately, breaking free was nearly impossible.

From the other two directions, Shi Hao and Shi Yi’s cold snorts echoed. Light erupted, bone runes severing the heavens, unleashing an earth-shattering tremor as they unleashed their full power.

“Truly worthy of the Six-Time Champion, peerless in grace and unmatched through the ages. Few in this world can compare. Alone, he forces all heroes of past and present to bow, unable to resist.”

Someone among the mountains voiced their admiration.

Many marveled at this terrifying display. Who could rival such prowess?

“Boom!”

Qin Hao’s soul was nearly extracted, placing him in grave peril.

“Break for me!”

Qin Hao roared. Runes manifested on his chest, transforming into streams of immortal light that surged forth. He shattered the golden chains, temporarily freeing his soul.

Yet, the golden chains could reform, closing in once more to bind his soul and suppress him anew.

This was a fearsome assault, relentlessly draining Qin Hao’s energy, wearing him down for the final, fatal strike.

“Break completely!” Qin Hao bellowed, his chest glowing again, seeking to annihilate all golden chains.

But at that moment, the metallic tremor resounded once more through heaven and earth.

Ning Chuan’s left palm also began to glow, revealing a crimson divine chain, equally radiant but devoid of serenity, instead exuding a murderous aura.

In the next instant, the world turned bitterly cold, filled with a ruthless and cruel presence. The crimson chain expanded rapidly, surging forward to annihilate its target.

“The Shackles of the Gods, Heaven’s Verdict!” Ning Chuan intoned, his voice shaking the heavens.

Clearly, the crimson chain complemented the golden one—one for judgment, the other for execution, their terror boundless.

“Roar!”

Qin Hao let out a long cry, resisting with all his might.

The golden chain bound his soul, attempting to drag it into the void, while the crimson chain swept horizontally to crush him.

“Immortal Dao’s Annihilation!” Qin Hao shouted. His chest now resembled a miniature sun, glowing intensely, his entire body blazing.

A wave of rule-based runes spread, vast and awe-inspiring, stunning everyone at Immortal’s Fall Ridge.

For a moment, it seemed as though a true immortal had descended, overwhelming the mortal realm!

“Hmm?” Ning Chuan’s expression shifted for the first time.

Both the golden and crimson chains shattered repeatedly, destroyed beyond repair.

Outside, experts from various sects were equally shocked. These runes were terrifying, embodying an indescribable might.

“You possess an immortal bone, but your mastery is limited. Such a treasure is best suited for me. Paired with my hand bone, I would be invincible!” Ning Chuan murmured, his eyes gleaming.

Though the chains shattered repeatedly, Ning Chuan reformed them with his immense power, steadily draining Qin Hao’s energy.

All spectators were awed. The descendants of the Sinful Blood were indeed fearsome. Even the youngest among them could destroy the chains of judgment and execution, shaking the world.

Clearly, his treasure technique was peerless.

In the past, a single divine chain had been enough to crush the elites of all clans, leaving countless geniuses dead at its feet, unable to resist.

Yet now, Ning Chuan had to rely on his power to suppress Qin Hao’s divine ability!

“You’re merely young and slightly lacking in cultivation,” Shi Hao’s voice rang out, resounding through heaven and earth.

He was clearly speaking to Qin Hao.

Simultaneously, Shi Yi erupted with dazzling radiance.

Both moved, their killing intent surging like a tidal wave. With a deafening roar, it was as though the void itself ignited. The golden and crimson chains shattered inch by inch, the destruction spreading toward Ning Chuan.

Even Qin Hao’s draining stalemate was overturned.

The chains of judgment and execution were utterly destroyed!

“Little Six, you’re nothing special.”

“Remember, this isn’t a siege—it’s a slaughter!”

The Twin Stones attacked simultaneously, charging at Ning Chuan. Only now did they unleash their true power.

Qin Hao roared and joined the assault.

“This…” Everyone trembled in shock.

“The tide has turned!” The crowd watched nervously.

“One of us could kill you alone, but this way is more satisfying,” Shi Yi laughed.

The spectators’ hearts quaked.

Clearly, the Shi brothers were both immensely powerful. Their joint attack was meant to humiliate the Six-Time Champion, erasing his six lifetimes of glory.

“Do you think you can succeed?” Ning Chuan said coldly, his white robes fluttering as his body erupted with blinding radiance!

He formed hand seals, a chilling killing intent spreading.

“Die!” Qin Hao shouted.

Meanwhile, the Twin Stones had already reached the forefront, igniting the fiercest battle yet.

This fight would be brief. Both sides unleashed their most terrifying techniques—the Shi brothers sought to humiliate Ning Chuan, while the Six-Time Champion aimed to decide life and death in moments.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!…”

Heaven and earth trembled as the battlefield was engulfed in light.

Figures darted, laws surged, and cracks spread through the void, shaking the Nest Realm!

Whoosh!

Countless stars appeared in the sky, each one rotating like a galaxy descending upon the Six-Time Champion.

This was Shi Hao’s treasure technique—the Thunder Emperor’s Secret Art. Each star was formed of lightning, linked by a divine chain, filling the void.

“This is bad!” Outside, everyone gasped in shock.

“Kill!”

At the same time, Ning Chuan and Shi Yi each unleashed a supreme divine ability, triggering a sudden shift.

To everyone’s astonishment, Ning Chuan’s technique seemed to pierce through a boulder, yet Shi Yi did not evade.

“Not good!”

Outside, some Heavenly Gods paled.

“Restoration Art!” a sect master murmured.

The seemingly struck body reappeared behind, unharmed. Meanwhile, Shi Yi’s strike pierced Ning Chuan’s shoulder, drawing blood.

“The Dual-Pupiled One feigned mutual destruction but used the Restoration Art to recover, while his own strike wounded his opponent!”

A sect master commented, analyzing the exchange.

The mighty Six-Time Champion was wounded, bleeding.

“Boom!”

At that moment, Shi Hao tugged on a divine chain, giving it a slight shake. The stars in the sky rotated before exploding in unison.

Thunder raged!

“Terrifying!”

Everyone’s hair stood on end.

Ning Chuan roared, his body glowing as bone runes intertwined, resisting the attack while continuing his assault.

“Crack!”

Heaven and earth went berserk, thunder and lightning endless.

When silence returned, Ning Chuan’s right arm was charred, blood dripping, crimson beads suspended in the void!

However, the youngest, Qin Hao, had also been struck by a finger from Ning Chuan, blood trickling from his lips.

“Don’t worry. You lack experience. There’s no rush to slaughter him. It’ll take a few moves—killing him instantly would mean he wasn’t Little Six,” Shi Hao reassured.
