Chapter 516: Chapter 516: The Truth
Sure, here is the translation:
In that instant, you could see Yang Tian’s palm slowly rise, and the swordsman would fall beneath it!
"Stop!"
At this moment, on the other side, Lin Shu finally couldn’t hold back and stepped forward, blocking Yang Tian directly, saying, "Yang Tian, stop!"
"You wish to stop me?" Yang Tian looked at Lin Shu, his brows slightly furrowing.
For Lin Shu, although she was also someone who practiced in the real world, ever since descending to the Lower Realm, despite being suspected of complicity, Lin Shu’s hands had never been stained with earthly blood.
Moreover, willingly or not, Lin Shu had disclosed the majority of truths to Yang Tian.
Thus, Yang Tian immediately withdrew his raised palm without taking action.
Seeing Yang Tian halt his movements, Lin Shu let out a breath of relief.
After all, she had indeed witnessed Yang Tian’s power firsthand. Even the Azure Dragon Jianzhong, the deputy emperor of Zongjian Ridge, couldn’t last more than a few seconds under his might.
"Yang Tian! Have you forgotten the promise you made to me?" Lin Shu took a deep breath and asked.
"What promise are you referring to?"
Yang Tian heard, and his brows began to furrow even deeper.
Lin Shu continued, "Both you and Mr. Chenn had said, as long as I revealed the detailed situations of the various factions in Xiu Zhen Sect, you wouldn’t target those from our Divine Sword Sect in the Lower Realm. Before Uncle Lu attacked you and was killed by you, I had nothing left to say about it. But now, my master has surrendered, and how can you still kill him?"
Saying this, Lin Shu also glanced at Chenn Yuanba since, on that day, in this very hall, it was Chenn Yuanba who had persuaded Lin Shu and Yang Tian not to make trouble with Jianmen.
Back then, Lin Shu didn’t believe Yang Tian could endure her presence.
"Yang Tian, you are still worlds away from attaining true power!"
"Even if you’re strong, as long as I hold the Lower Realm, you would need nothing more than a sword to kill your adversary!"
"In these three months, what means have you devised to resist my master’s wrath?"
At these mocking words, Lin Shu felt them echo in her ears, but they were even laced with irony!
For her own survival, Lin Shu could no longer care about much as she stared straight at Yang Tian and said: "Besides, Chen Xue is presently restoring the real world, and in Shenjian Gate, if my master dies, who else can help you locate her? Don’t forget, our sect in Divine Sword Sect is engaged in a battle of guardians. And once you attack my Divine Sword Sect, won’t all the other clans learn of it? No matter how strong you are, can you really face the entire world’s deceit?"
Staring at Lin Shu’s determined gaze, Yang Tian’s brows furrowed further.
The Huzong battle?
Against the entire Truth Kingdom?
In Yang Tian’s eyes, such a scenario was simply non-existent!
However, Lin Shu’s words reminded Yang Tian that Chen Xue was still in the Truth Domain, and the spatial channel between the Earth and the Truth Domain remained open.
"Young man, do you truly intend to restore the real world?"
Watching the Sword Master, Lan Yueliang, and Inviting Moon Fairy following Yang Tian’s command to the North Pole to open the space channel.
Chenn Yuanba curiously asked.
One must know, during this period, we had heard much and seen many in the realm of truth cultivation.
But ultimately, this was a new world.
Yang Tian’s reckless past actions had not detailed how he intended to rescue Chen Xue.
In other words, once Yang Tian was discovered by clans such as those from Zongjian Ridge, wouldn’t catastrophe follow?
After all, many of Xiu Zhen’s disciples with the most power died at Yang Tian’s hands, let alone Azure Dragon Jianzhong and Lu Yunsheng, who had just fallen into the North Pole.
If the Xiu Zhen Sect discovered Yang Tian, who killed their disciples, went to Xiu Zhen, wouldn’t he instantly become the public enemy of the entire Xiu Zhen world?
Under such circumstances, no matter how powerful Yang Tian became, he would face imminent peril.
But Yang Tian merely smiled and said: "Master Chenn, I know your concerns, but this time I am truly leaving."
"Just for that girl named Chen Xue?" Chenn Yuanba curiously asked.
"Yes!"
Yang Tian smiled faintly and said: "Xiao Xue sees me as her brother, and I consider her as my sister. Not to mention, I made a promise to her father that I would definitely bring her back."
"But..."
Chenn Yuanba wanted to persuade him further, but Yang Tian raised his hand and interrupted him, saying: "Enough, Old Shen, actually, I do have something else I need to say."
"Something else? What’s the matter?" Chenn Yuanba asked.
Yang Tian slowly stood up and walked to the hall entrance, stretching his palm out and smiling: "In truth, even if Chen Xue weren’t involved, I don’t have much time left to remain on Earth."
"Not much time left on Earth? What do you mean?"
Chenn Yuanba’s face immediately revealed utter confusion!
Given Yang Tian’s power today, who else would be able to prohibit his presence on Earth?
But just at that moment, he saw Yang Tian’s palm suddenly flash faintly!
With this flicker, the entirety of Hu Yi Villa, and even all of Hu Yi Mountain, suddenly quaked!
Though this tremor was fleeting and imperceptible to normal humans, Chenn Yuanba sensed it acutely.
More importantly, Chenn Yuanba now realized the horrifying implications of the quake, as if it were tearing Earth itself apart!
Even from Yang Tian’s palm, Chenn Yuanba detected the aura reminiscent of death from that day.
The aura of annihilation!
This peculiar revelation naturally furrowed Chenn Yuanba’s brows; he pondered in bewilderment and asked: "What exactly is this?"
"It’s nothing! Just that the heavens and earth are rejecting me!"
Yang Tian faintly smiled and said, "Just as the lower realms of the Azure Dragon Sword require the sealing of their power to prevent this world’s collapse, my advancement through heavenly tribulation forces me to continually suppress my strength in order to prevent the Devil within me from directly causing this world’s destruction!"
Upon hearing this, Chenn Yuanba hesitated, half-accepting, as he said: "You mean Earth cannot withstand your strength now?"
"Precisely!"
Yang Tianwei nodded and said: "I thought I could hold on a little longer, but during the first Arctic War, the Azure Dragon Sword unleashed its true power, which already began impacting this world. If I hadn’t used the Western Immortal Treasure Sword Formation to suppress it at the time, I fear the world would have started collapsing!"
"Even though I successfully suppressed the power of the Green Dragon Sword, the damage was already done, hence it won’t be long before the magic within me continually grows and destroys this world!"
Saying this, Yang Tian turned thoughtfully and stared at Chenn Yuanba. "Which is why, Old Shen, I must leave. Otherwise, there will be no good outcome for me on this Earth!"
Chenn Yuanba listened to Yang Tian’s explanation and finally understood his intent.
At the same time, he fell silent.
It wasn’t clear how long it took for Chenn Yuanba to finally say: "What about your family?"
"Only exhausted seniors like Sheng Congwen can care for them!" My two disciples, Ma Yu and Ren Yuan, have always adhered to correct paths in cultivation, their minds now strong enough to support their independence for years. As long as they are present, the senior members of the Shen Family will also look after them, leaving little for me to worry about regarding the Yang Family’s future!"
Yang Tianwei smiled and said, "Additionally, by then I will demonstrate my miraculous prowess to the swordsman, Lan Yueliang, and Inviting Moon, before leaving them for the Shen family’s elders to steward. Between those three in China, there will be enough to protect me from concern!"
"Then I thank you on behalf of China!"
Upon hearing Yang Tian’s carefully crafted plans, Chenn Yuanba immediately said to Yang Tianwei: "Your family and husband should take care of themselves, and so should the elder lady, the Yang family..."
"Alongside the seniors of Sheng Congwen, I."
