Chapter 2294: Chapter 2292: The Great War Begins Chapter 2294: Chapter 2292: The Great War Begins Here’s the requested translation of the text:
“What forces?”
“The Eighth Layer is upstream of the Bone Refining Water. Whether it’s the intensity of the Bone Refining Water or the Heavenly Dao Rules, they are far superior to those of the Seventh Layer. The strongest cultivators in this galaxy have almost all gathered there. If you go, you might not even claim an unknown spot.”
i Li frowned as she spoke. She had always cultivated in the Seventh Layer, not because she didn’t want to enter the Eighth.
It was because the positions in the Eighth Layer had already been allocated long ago. Even though her strength wasn’t weak, she didn’t dare rush in and offend others.
*In Purgatory, getting injured might an death.*
“Thanks.”
Ethan Smith nodded lightly and still strode toward the Eighth Layer. He was determined to go there no matter what.
“Even if you can seize a position, you’ll constantly be disturbed while you cultivate. How will you comprehend the Path of Heaven?”
i Li’s lips curled into a peculiar smile. *This kid’s stubbornness really reminded her of herself a thousand years ago.*
“Are you suggesting that we team up?”
Ethan furrowed his brows. If what i Li said was true, it really was a hassle.
“Ethan, let ask you, what are your plans after the Great Dao descends? I want to know why you’re pushing yourself so hard.”
“I must return to the Holy Region, even if it costs my life.”
Ethan fell silent for a mont before responding softly.
“Alright, I can guard you for free, but I have one condition: when you return to the Holy Region, you must take with you.”
i Li suddenly chuckled lightly.
“You really believe I can return to the Holy Region?” Ethan laughed.
“Not really, but I can sense your determination. Your strength matches your resolve.”
i Li shook her head decisively.
“I’ll bet on you; it’s not like I have anything to lose. However, you’ll need to secure your own position—I won’t interfere in this process.”
Ethan nodded. i Li’s strength was top-tier, and having a free guardian was a no-brainer.
*He had gone all-out in the Ghost Mansion just to defeat i Li.*
The two entered the Eighth-layer Purgatory, and instantly, seven or eight powerful divine senses locked onto Ethan.
The demonic qi ran rampant here, and dense clouds roiled in the sky.
Within the cloud layer, deafening thunder occasionally streaked past. The sky seed perilously close, as if you could reach out and touch it.
Below, countless mountain peaks towered into the cloud layer.
Every mountain peak emanated a formidable aura.
West Hicks, Chang Ye, Situ Haoyue, Gu Ming, along with four other rogue cultivators who masked their presence but whose strength was no less than Gu Ming’s.
On the largest mountain peak in the center, a blast of Sword Intent pierced through the clouds, enveloped by familiar Dao rhythms.
“The Position of Evil Slaying.”
Ethan imdiately sensed the familiar energy. This position was likely where the Evil Slaying Scripture previously sat in ditation. Under the absolute might radiating from it, no one dared to intrude upon this supre position.
“He’s here.”
A cold voice reverberated through the space, reaching Ethan’s location.
The hunched figure of a white-haired elder slowly materialized before Ethan, as if he had anticipated Ethan’s arrival.
“Situ Haoyue, your timing couldn’t be better. I was just about to tell you to get lost, and now I don’t even need to waste the effort calling for you.”
Ethan smirked casually.
“Arrogant as always, Ethan. If it weren’t for the masked woman’s sorcery in the secret realm that injured Mr. Situ’s divine soul, do you really think you could defeat him?”
Gu Ming appeared beside Situ Haoyue.
“What’s this? The Blood Sect Sovereign playing lapdog to Situ Haoyue? That’s quite impressive.” Ethan shot him a glance.
“Ha, such sharp words. Today, not only will you hand over the masked woman’s coffin, but you’ll also leave the Sorin Divine Artifact behind.” Situ Haoyue sneered coldly.
It seed as though Situ Haoyue had issued an order, for within such a short while, nearly seventy or eighty cultivators had entered this space.
“The treasures obtained in the Underworld Secret Realm were bought with the blood of all Purgatory’s cultivators. Do you think you can monopolize them without consulting everyone else?”
Situ Haoyue said coldly.
“Fellow Daoist Ethan, I lost almost all my family mbers in this Ghost Palace Secret Realm. This treasure should be shared with everyone for enlightennt.”
“If you persist in being selfish, don’t bla us for joining forces to wipe you out.”
“Today, you must give us an answer. I hope you won’t act recklessly—sharing this enlightennt with everyone won’t harm you in any way.”
“That’s right. Perhaps we can unravel the coffin’s mysteries together, and everyone will benefit from the experience.”
A crowd of cultivators encircled Ethan.
Situ Haoyue’s lips twisted into a mocking smile. *Even if none of them could match Ethan’s strength, their sheer numbers would be enough to drain his spiritual energy.*
“Old dog Situ, isn’t this trick of yours getting old? Let say it loud and clear: treasures belong to those who can claim them. If any of you acquired treasure, would you share it with everyone?”
Ethan sneered coldly.
*If the coffin truly held the Heavenly Dao Qi accumulated from the masked woman’s past eight lives, each insight into its mysteries would consu a portion of the Dao Qi. Sharing it—that’s nothing but a fool’s dream.*
“As for all of you, if anyone wishes to die and help this old dog Situ take advantage, I’ll gladly oblige.”
A golden aura swirled around Ethan’s body, and countless streams of magma began to rise and flow beneath his feet.
A fierce aura radiated from his body, and wherever he cast his gaze, no one dared et his eyes.
“Mr. Situ, how about you take the lead?”
A cultivator cautiously asked.
The survivors in Purgatory were no fools; everyone understood the principle of *”the stake that sticks out gets pounded down.”*
Situ Haoyue cast a glance at Gu Ming, and Gu Ming instantly grasped his intention.
A ruthless gleam flashed across his face as spiritual energy began to gather on his body.
*Having lived for so many years, Zendaya Reed remained his greatest driving force.*
*With Zendaya Reed’s death in the secret realm, he had always considered Ethan the murderer. Today, he was determined to avenge his son.*
i Li sensed sothing was amiss at this mont and quietly stepped aside.
*She had only agreed to guard Ethan during his Path of Heaven insights but had no intention of being involved in such battles.*
Bang!
In an instant, Gu Ming’s aura surged to its peak. He, too, had survived in Purgatory for an exceptionally long ti.
A roar of boundless spiritual energy erupted, proving that his strength had long reached the mid-level of ninth-rank.
The strike infused with spiritual power had already surpassed the White Ape.
Bang!
The collision was utterly brute-force; their arms slamd together fiercely.
In the blink of an eye, their fists and feet exchanged blows over a hundred tis.
No technique, just raw strength clashing endlessly.
Bang!
The collision of ninth-rank power unleashed a tempest of spiritual energy. The roiling thick clouds above were pushed aside by the ferocious storm.
Ethan hovered mid-air, his body radiating Golden Light, with his aura showing no sign of diminishing.
In contrast, Gu Ming, after the hundred-strike clash, had one arm shattered and bore multiple injuries, blood flowing profusely.
“What an astonishingly durable body.”
Gu Ming drew in a sharp breath.
*Having undergone the Fire Scale Continent’s hottest magma refinent, the tempering of the Bone Refining Water, and the Holy Body Technique cultivated through an unprecedented skill, Ethan’s physical strength had reached unimaginable heights.*
