Chapter 135: Realms Are Meant for Geniuses to Surpass!

Gan Ye felt that things were becoming troublesome.

First came the top disciples of the Central Heaven Sect and Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, then the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect and the Holy Son of the Hidden Gauze Sect joined the fray.

These were elites of top sects, each with an increasingly significant background!

If word of this got out, he would have no place to stand in all of Haodu.

His plans were far from complete, and with just his Soul Division Realm cultivation, he had no chance of surviving the backlash from these sects.

“No, I must eliminate them here!”

Gan Ye locked his divine sense onto Yue Jianli and Qin Ruyan, preparing to chase them down and destroy them entirely.

Just as he was about to move, a glowing white fist appeared before him.

Boom!

The punch landed in the black mist, blasting him backward!

Lin Langyue vigilantly kept her eyes on Bai Jiangye.

Although this madman had not yet made a move, based on his conversation with Gan Ye, it was clear the two had some kind of deal.

Li Ran was currently locked in a life-and-death struggle with a Soul Division Realm expert; she couldn’t allow Bai Jiangye to launch a sneak attack.

“Bai Jiangye, you’d better think carefully. If you side with Gan Ye, you’ll offend both the righteous and demonic sects,” Lin Langyue warned.

Bai Jiangye glanced at her and smirked. “I know you’re just stalling for time to recover your spiritual energy.”

Lin Langyue froze.

She was trying to buy time.

Bai Jiangye shook his head. “It’s unnecessary because I won’t make a move.”

“Hmm?”

Lin Langyue was taken aback. “If that’s the case, why did you cooperate with Gan Ye in the first place?”

Bai Jiangye shrugged. “I thought those cultivators wouldn’t be able to resist the beast tide. Witnessing the death of tens of thousands of beings would’ve elevated my Path of Slaughter to the next level. But alas…”

He sighed regretfully, shaking his head.

Lin Langyue immediately understood.

Unfortunately for him, Li Ran’s presence had turned the tide.

Relying on his overwhelming strength, he had single-handedly repelled the beast tide, causing Bai Jiangye to change his mind.

The thought sent a chill down her spine.

The lunatics from the Slaughter Prison truly were heartless monsters!

“So that’s why you’ve been holding back…”

Bai Jiangye shifted his gaze to Li Ran. “Gan Ye may be at the Soul Division Realm, but even if I’m no match for him, I can still escape.”

“But Li Ran… he’s different.”

“He’s far too strong. Against him, I don’t even have the confidence to run away.”

Lin Langyue was stunned.

In Bai Jiangye’s eyes, Li Ran was even stronger than Gan Ye?

The two were separated by an entire realm!

Noticing her confusion, Bai Jiangye chuckled. “Back when I was still at the Golden Core Realm, I personally killed a Nascent Soul cultivator.”

“So why can’t Li Ran, who’s at the Nascent Soul Realm, kill a Soul Division Realm cultivator?

“Realms are meant for geniuses to surpass.”

Their gazes shifted toward the two figures clashing in the distance.

Lin Langyue asked, “If Li Ran actually wins, what will you do?”

Bai Jiangye replied seriously, “Before that happens, I’ll run first.”

Lin Langyue swallowed a handful of pills, working hard to recover her spiritual energy.

She might not be able to turn the tide of the battle, but if Li Ran was in danger, she would fight to the death to save him.

Boom!

The wind howled as Li Ran shot toward Gan Ye like a bolt of lightning, launching a powerful strike straight at his face!

He pushed his Demonic Light-Dispelling Fist to the limit, his hands gleaming like white jade. Even his meridians and bones were clearly visible, radiating a dazzling, blinding glow!

His opponent was at the Soul Division Realm—his soul was powerful, and his techniques were unpredictable.

If he allowed Gan Ye to gain distance, the battle would become extremely troublesome.

So Li Ran chose to engage in close combat, planning to pummel him to death with brute force!

It was the right decision.

Years of being eroded by yin energy had left Gan Ye’s physical body weak.

And the divine power in Li Ran’s white light was a direct counter to the Soul-Devouring Black Mist!

“You’ve got some skills, kid!”

Gan Ye’s black mist swirled ominously as he let out a sinister laugh. “But you have no idea what it truly means to reach the Soul Division Realm!”

His body dissolved into black mist and drifted away, reforming at a safe distance.

“Killing you first means those little girls won’t escape either!”

Gan Ye’s withered hand pressed against the ground, and the earth beneath them immediately began to churn!

The once-dry, solid ground was corrupted by the black mist, transforming into a bubbling, writhing swamp of darkness!

The inky mire boiled like a cauldron, filled with countless tormented souls struggling and writhing in agony.

To them, Li Ran looked like a feast.

The crazed spirits lunged at him, their shrieks piercing and terrifying!

The swamp expanded rapidly, reaching Li Ran’s feet in an instant.

He furrowed his brows and prepared to leap into the air—

But suddenly, a massive suction force erupted from below, holding him in place!

The spiritual energy in this area had been completely corrupted!

The wraiths latched onto his legs, forcefully dragging him into the depths of the swamp.

In the blink of an eye, he was swallowed whole.

“Li Ran!”

Lin Langyue gasped in horror at the sight.

Gan Ye let out a cruel laugh. “No one has ever escaped the Cursed Black Swamp. Be a good boy and become a meal for my ghosts!”

Ignoring her own exhaustion, Lin Langyue flew toward the swamp, desperate to pull Li Ran out.

Gan Ye blinked in surprise, then burst into frenzied laughter. “How touching! Saves me the trouble—I’ll just kill you together! Kekekekeke!”

But suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes widening in shock.

“T-This— How is this possible?!”

The black swamp roiled violently as golden light began to pierce through from beneath.

The once-ravenous wraiths shrieked in terror, scattering in all directions.

Boom!

A radiant figure erupted from the swamp, engulfed in golden light like a blazing sun!

Li Ran stood tall, his entire body shining with divine radiance. A solemn Buddhist chant echoed faintly from behind him.

Om!

He raised his right hand, and a sacred character lit up in his palm.

A flood of golden Buddhist light burst forth, raining down like a golden storm!

The wraiths screamed in despair, instantly reduced to ashes.

Li Ran turned to Gan Ye, a wicked smile curling on his lips. Against the holy glow, his expression appeared almost devilishly enchanting.

“Has anyone ever told you that your laughter is really annoying?”

Gan Ye swallowed hard, his voice trembling with disbelief. “H-How do you possess such pure Buddhist energy? W-What’s your connection to the Wuwang Temple?”

Li Ran smirked. “Sorry, I’m self-taught.”

His body flickered like lightning, dashing toward Gan Ye.

Gan Ye cried out in alarm and attempted to dissolve into mist once again.

Mah!

Li Ran formed a Wheel Seal with his fingers, unleashing a brilliant burst of Buddhist light!

For an instant, time itself seemed to freeze.

Gan Ye felt his thoughts slow down—his entire body became sluggish, as if even moving a single finger was an immense struggle.

He could only watch in horror as Li Ran closed the distance.

Boom!

Li Ran stomped down, slamming Gan Ye’s head deep into the ground!
