The Determination To Die

Translated by Sean, Soya

With the help of the Eight Diagrams Altar, the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation was turned into a terrifying killing grand formation. One that gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to myriads. The Eight Diagrams were invisible but the six directions were tangible. All humans, celestial beings and ghosts existed within the world. That Eight Diagram Altar might be the most important element but the six directions and eight desolates were the origin of the formation.

“This formation formed its own space. Immortal Execution Great Emperor has already sealed us off within the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation. He really is cruel and ruthless.”

Jiang Chen smiled wryly. The frightening power was already approaching them. This kind of intangible pressure sent chills down everyone’s spine.

Even Jiang Chen who was well versed in the Dao of Formations could not deal with it. If the Eight Diagrams Altar was said to be a formation, it would then be a formation. If it was said to be an altar, it would then be an altar. It was not easy to break it, much less the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation which was something that was beyond his capability to handle. Jiang Chen was aware that breaking the formation using his own techniques would be as difficult as ascending the heavens.

Streams of blood flowed down from above the Eight Diagrams Altar, scattering in all directions. The flow of the blood was extremely bizarre as they kept oozing out from each of the eight sacrificial platforms. They were just like the eight soul-locking blood threads that caused one to have difficulty breathing.

“Could it be that the Immortal Execution Great Emperor wanted to trap all of us here to death? I originally thought that this trip would be one with good fortunes. However, it was beyond my expectation that we would be stuck in it without being able to escape. It seemed like destiny is making a fool out of us… Hehehe.”

Lan Luo shook her head while smiling bitterly. Her expression was filled with hopelessness while facing this hopeless life-and-death situation because their soul power seemed to have been sealed and suppressed. As for the Divine Origin Power within them, it was also diminishing slowly. The streams of blood coming out from the altar made them feel that death was gradually approaching them.

“My soul power seemed to have been restrained.”

Qian Renji’s expression became extremely ghastly. If one’s soul power was restrained, it would be the same as being strangled.

Everyone exchanged glances among themselves except for Jiang Chen. An Emperor Realm soul was not that easy to be restrained. Even though they were within the peerless killing formation that Immortal Execution Great Emperor left behind, the formation was not completely flawless. At least, it could not restrain the spirits of Sovereign Realm individuals.

“I’m afraid it won’t be easy to escape from this Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation now.”

Xue Liang said. None of them dared to act rashly. However, the blood streams that flowed out from the altar were already rushing toward them.

“Let me try if I can break this formation.”

Jiang Chen muttered in a deep tone. Their only way to survive right now was to break the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation. However, breaking the formation was of great difficulty.

The Eight Diagrams Altar was placed right there, intertwining with the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation. Thus, breaking the formation would very likely activate the altar as well. Jiang Chen had an ominous premonition that as long as the formation was broken or the altar was activated, the silhouette that was sitting on the stone platform, the Immortal Execution Great Emperor, would probably stand up and commence a large-scale slaughter. Even though that man had already died for thousands of years, a great emperor’s techniques and capabilities could not be understood using common sense at all.

At this moment, only Xuan Yuan Canglan remained silent. He stared at Jiang Chen quietly like a cunning and fierce goshawk, always taking precautions against the movements all around him.

Jiang Chen controlled one corner of the No Beginning Formation, starting to search for the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation. Even though his soul power was not weakened or restrained, the amount that was being drained was overwhelming. His soul power was being depleted every second that went by but Jiang Chen still could not find any clues about the formation. Although the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation was not one of the best formations, it was not any weaker from them.

Ultimately, the person who set up the formation was also an important factor that decided its strength. For example, the formation that a great emperor set up was probably something that even a Heavenly God Realm formation grandmaster would not be able to break through for the rest of his life.

“Since the formation cannot be broken, we’ll put an end to our grudges right here.”

At this moment, Xuan Yuan Canglan suddenly directed the tip of his sword at Jiang Chen. No present would have thought that this guy would have completely no fear for his own life and death. To him, it seemed like only a battle against Jiang Chen could satisfy him.

“You’re really a madman.

Bing Yun and Qian Renji looked at Xuan Yuan Canglan in disbelief. Now, it was uncertain whether they could survive since they were trapped in this place. But in that guy’s eyes, there was just fighting and killing.

Jiang Chen had expected Xuan Yuan Canglan’s battle intent. He was not surprised at all that the latter wanted to fight him. As Xuan Yuan Canglan had lost to him twice in the past, the idea of winning against him today had deeply rooted within his heart, just like Xue Liang. Even though Xue Liang was Jiang Chen’s best friend, he still had the stubborn idea of trying to defeat Jiang Chen. The strong did not need a great reason to fight. To stand on the peak, what they needed to do was to constantly defeat other strong individuals and eliminate the stubborn thoughts within their hearts.

More and more blood streams gathered around them. The silent and invisible terror made everyone feel suffocated even more because they did not know what was going to happen next. Within the space of the Six Directions and Eight Desolates Formation, they kept retreating, trying to escape from the formation. Unfortunately, their effort was fruitless.

The Eight Diagrams Altar might undergo shocking changes anytime. At the same time, their soul power was restrained while their Divine Origin Power was constricted. The nervousness and fear of losing strength was what could truly put someone in despair.

“If you wish to die, I don’t mind giving you a ride. However, I hope that you won’t escape in defeat like last time.”

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“You were just lucky last time. You won’t have that chance again this time.”

Xuan Yuan Canglan’s eyes turned solemn. A dreadful qi was suddenly unleashed from his body. To everyone’s surprise, his power was not restricted by the effect of the formation.

“Your power also isn’t suppressed by the formation? Well, I didn’t expect that.”

Jiang Chen looked at Xuan Yuan Canglan in surprise.

“Your power also isn’t restricted, right? There is not much time left for you. Go to hell!”

Xuan Yuan Canglan let out a roar of anger and sprang up like a wild beast. He shouted at the top of his lungs, producing an ear-splitting roar.

Jiang Chen did not dare to relax because his opponent was Xuan Yuan Canglan. He might have defeated him twice, but the latter also nearly won against him. He had to admit that there was not any difference between their innate talent. Besides, Xuan Yuan Canglan depended solely on his own capabilities to gain his power. Being discovered by the Xuan Yuan Clan of the Central Region Divine Land in a small and insignificant sect at Linhe Boundary was the best recognition for his strength and talent.

Hence, Jiang Chen had no choice but to defend against him!

After undergoing the dragon transformation, Jiang Chen confronted Xuan Yuan Canglan. The power of a Mid Hierarch Realm was not something that could just be disregarded. The battle was extremely gruesome. The two of them exchanged blows ferociously with each of them being extremely deadly. However, the power of their strikes and the exhilaration from the physical confrontation raised their spirits even more.

Jiang Chen and Xuan Yuan Canglan engaged each other barehanded, fighting with their lives on the line. It made their blood boil each time they had a brush with death. Xuan Yuan Canglan’s attacks were extremely formidable. However, Jiang Chen’s human-dragon body had the upper hand against Xuan Yuan Canglan’s.

Xuan Yuan Canglan’s eyes blazed with anger. His grudge against Jiang Chen had already reached the point where it could only be resolved if one of them perished. Thus, he only had one objective – kill Jiang Chen.

Both of them had no fear of death. They battled to the end and charged against each other time after time. Whoever took a single step backward would certainly be overwhelmed by his opponent. Jiang Chen’s face did not have the slightest hint of fear even though he was currently fighting Xuan Yuan Canglan. However, the latter was a strong opponent after all. This was something that Jiang Chen had to admit. Their cultivation level was not a factor that could determine the victor of the fight, it still gave Jiang Chen a headache, however. Because Xuan Yuan Canglan also had an unyielding spirit and was ready to throw his life away for the fight.

Who is the most frightening person in the world? Well, those who were never afraid of death were the most frightening ones. They carried the determination to kill their opponents even if it would cost them their lives. And that was the most terrifying idea that would make one the scariest person.
