Chapter 1: Transmigration, Crisis, and a Shocking Sword!
A gentle breeze blew by, and Li Jie, who was asleep, shivered and groggily opened his eyes.
When he found himself lying in the muddy street, he rubbed his sleepy eyes in disbelief.
Am I dreaming? But why does this dream feel so real...?
He sat up, feeling the cold touch of the raindrops falling, and gradually came back to his senses.
No! It's not a dream!
He surveyed the unfamiliar streets and blood-red sky around him! Could it be... that he had transmigrated?
Where did I get dressed?
He stood up, patted the dirt off his clothes, and carefully walked forward.
Gradually, a putrid stench wafted from all directions.
He pinched his nose and waved his hand as if to dispel the stench around him.
When he saw a beam of brilliant golden light shooting into the sky not far away, he froze on the spot.
A towering golden beam of light... a blood-red sky... the stench of decay... muddy streets... it all seems so familiar.
Just then, Li Jie felt a throbbing sensation in his head as a flood of memories rushed into his mind...
He leaned against the wall, as if sorting through the sudden influx of information.
Cangnan... Golden pillar of light... Divine agent... This is the world of slaying gods!
After receiving the flood of memories, Li Jie stood there, stunned.
This is... a little dangerous!
Forget about those Outer Gods... even a lowly Karami could kill an ordinary person like me!
Fortunately, I only arrived in Cangnan a few days ago; otherwise, without anyone else's help, I would have disappeared along with the city in just a few months.
Or... should we run? Who cares where we go, the farther away from Cangnan the better.
Just as he was considering how to escape Cangnan territory.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the back alley behind him, and Li Jie felt a chill run down his spine.
In the Cangnan region, Lin Qiye awakens...
If nothing unexpected happens, the noises coming from behind me should be... the masked man?
He looked back with difficulty and saw several burly, white-faced monsters with bizarre and twisted movements walking towards him, flicking their long, blood-red tongues. His heart sank.
Li Jie: Σ(°△°|||)︴Holy shit....！！
Startled, he took off running towards the center of the pillar of light.
Need protection! Need support!
When he finally reached the center of the battlefield, the golden-eyed youth, who was fighting several masked men, felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing Li Jie's appearance.
He recalled the tragic deaths of his classmates, and quickly swung his remaining half of his white cane to repel the masked man in front of him, then roared.
"Run! Get out of here!"
Looking at the golden-eyed youth in front of him, Li Jie's heart, which had already cooled down, turned completely cold. Judging from his attire, if he wasn't mistaken, this was Lin Qiye, the protagonist of "Godslayer".
Before he could think further, the masked man who had been chasing Li Jie appeared on the battlefield with heavy footsteps.
Lin Qiye frowned as he looked at the sudden increase in the number of masked men. He had already reached his limit in dealing with the few in front of him. If a few more came, he might really die here today!
Just as he was thinking about how to escape, the masked men he had fought earlier suddenly attacked and charged towards where he was standing.
Then the masked men that appeared walked toward Li Jie, who was standing there dumbfounded, with strange laughter.
They weren't moving fast, as if they were teasing their delicious prey.
Every step he took seemed to proclaim Li Jie's death.
The heavy footsteps sounded like a death knell in Li Jie's ears.
Holy crap... Did I just transmigrate here and already die?
No, I have to struggle no matter what!
He looked at the other half of the white cane that had just been broken off by the masked man not far from the ground.
With a determined heart, he rolled over and gripped the broken white cane tightly in his hand.
Just as Li Jie was preparing for a desperate fight with the masked man, a deep chanting sound rang in his mind.
Congratulations! You have taken up your sword in times of crisis, transcended the cycle of cause and effect, and awakened an extraordinary level of understanding!
At the same time, the world in Li Jie's eyes seemed to have changed. The space that was originally shrouded by the [Boundless Void] seemed to have a unique charm flowing in it. In the dim light, this obscure and difficult-to-understand array seemed to become traceable in his eyes.
Before long, these insights flooded into Li Jie's mind.
[As you observe the 'Boundless Void,' you discover a unique charm in the flow of forbidden power, gaining some insight and comprehending a Taoist mental cultivation method that resonates with you: the Great Yellow Court!]
[You continued to observe the 'Mortal Divine Realm,' deducing the power of the 'Miracle,' and fell into a state of enlightenment. Upon the end of this enlightenment, you deduced the top-tier Taoist Heavenly Sect technique, 'Heaven and Earth Lose Color.']
As the chanting ended, Li Jie closed his eyes, as if savoring the wondrous sensation. Suddenly, the surrounding space transformed into black and white, like an unfolding ink painting. A desolate, bleak, and sharp aura lingered around him. The masked men who had come to kill Li Jie stopped, letting out strange cries of fear.
"wipe!!"
On the other side, Lin Qiye, who was locked in battle with the masked man, had his golden pupils growing brighter, while Michael, far away on the moon, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
"A powerful and unfamiliar aura... Could it be an unknown god?... But... why would it appear on a human..."
Li Jie, in the center of the battlefield, was unaware that the aura he exuded after awakening the system had already alarmed the supreme deity far above the moon. His enlightenment was not yet over, and the ancient chanting continued to resound.
[You observe Lin Qiye's battle with the masked man, but find his moves crude and unsophisticated, gaining nothing from it. Continuing to observe, you notice a unique charm in every movement of Lin Qiye's cane, as if he were performing some kind of swordsmanship. A flash of inspiration strikes you, and you comprehend the supreme swordsmanship: Two Sleeves of Green Serpents!]
As the chanting ended, an old, deep, and yet dignified voice echoed in Li Jie's mind.
It seemed to travel through the void, resounding throughout this world.
Walking alone, stopping alone, sitting alone, a green snake coiled around a white thread in my hand.
Alone, in his robes, alone with his sword, the tip of his blade gleams with a thousand sharpnesses!
Within the black and white realm of "World Loses Color," a figure seemed to walk in wielding a sword, gradually merging with Li Jie's silhouette.
As he comprehended the fusion of his spiritual body, Li Jie opened his tightly closed eyes, and a soaring sword intent emanated from his body.
Following the guidance of the spirit, his body slowly raised his right hand, which was holding half of a white cane. A pale blue sword light emerged and gradually enveloped the broken white cane.
Li Jie turned to look at the masked man who was trembling slightly in the black and white world, and with a swift movement, his sword was drawn!
Clang! A resounding sword cry echoed between heaven and earth. A flash of cold light, and a cyan sword beam roared away with the sound of a dragon's roar!
Those grotesque monsters seemed to have been instantly cut in half at the waist, broken cleanly in two, and lost all life.
Lin Qiye, whose golden pupils were growing ever brighter, looked at this scene with an expression of disbelief.
Who is he? How could such a powerful, ghost-faced monster be no match for him?
Lin Qiye looked suspiciously at the other half of the white cane in his hand. They were supposed to be the same thing, so why did it look so different in his hand compared to mine...?
With such a sharp and violent aura, could it be that he also saw angels on the moon?
While he was in a daze, the masked man suddenly attacked, rushing towards him like an arrow released from a bow.
Lin Qiye's golden pupils suddenly contracted, and almost simultaneously, he suddenly fell to the side, rolling away to dodge the masked man's attack.
He stared at the menacing monster before him, the faint gold in his eyes shining even brighter, as if fueled by added firewood.
After a few moves, he finally caught the masked man's weakness, and suddenly raised the half of his cane high and stabbed it into the masked man's eye socket.
The intense pain caused the monster to struggle wildly. It slapped Lin Qiye away and roared as it lunged in the direction he had fallen.
not good!
Seeing the monster rise up, Lin Qiye, who had no foothold, was startled!
The needle was stuck in his eye socket, how could he still move!
In the blink of an eye, the resounding sword cry echoed once more.
Clang!
The monster that lunged at Lin Qiye was slain in mid-air by the cyan sword energy!
Li Jie looked at Lin Qiye, who was out of danger, and casually threw the half of his white cane on the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Hey, are you okay?"
