Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Jiang Li Takes Action

. Seeing this, the surrounding people hurriedly dispersed, fearing they would be affected.

Only Senior Sister Wu Lian held Yu Feng’s hand tightly, determined to stay with him through thick and thin.

Yu Feng calmly patted her hand, signaling her not to panic.

“Tianzun, if you kill me, I will reveal the reason for the dissipation of the nation’s destiny to all mortals.”

“My puppets are scattered across the continent. As soon as I die, they will spread the secret of the nation’s destiny, letting everyone know the secret.”

Yu Feng was blatantly threatening Tianzun. It was conceivable that mortals, upon learning the secret of the nation’s destiny, would assume the role of the people of the Immortal Dynasty, forcing everyone to cultivate immortality.

The Tianzun hated nothing more than an increase in the number of cultivators.

The more cultivators there were, the more likely another Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivator would emerge, disrupting his rule.

“Then spread the word. For every cultivator you pass on, I’ll kill him. I’d rather not establish the Immortal Dynasty than kill you to vent my anger!” Tianzun was furious. Since reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he had never been threatened.

This was the first, and the last, time.

He wanted to make an example of one.

Yu Feng was stunned. The Celestial Venerable’s reaction was completely different from what he had imagined. He had thought the Celestial Venerable, threatened, would spare him.

Senior Jiang hadn’t given him a script for the rest of the story.

“Senior Jiang, what should we do?”

“I will kill you today, and no one can stop me!”

The Celestial Venerable had never been so furious, and the entire Immortal Dynasty could feel his wrath.

The rage of a Tribulation Crossing cultivator could only be dispelled by death.

“Is that so? I’d like to try.”

A calm voice echoed from behind Yu Feng. A vague figure grew clearer, its aura growing stronger, finally soaring to a height beyond the Celestial Venerable’s comprehension.

The figure’s power stood in stark contrast to the Celestial Venerable’s wrath: neutral, peaceful, warm, and boundless. The entire continent trembled, as if celebrating the person who had transcended the river of time to appear in this world and save all.

“Who are you?!” The Celestial Venerable shouted, his hands shaking uncontrollably. How could such a terrifying cultivator exist? He had never heard of such a figure on the Tonggu Continent. He couldn’t believe it!

Even someone in the Tribulation Crossing Stage was afraid… An Immortal, definitely an Immortal!

The man smiled and placed his hand on Yu Feng’s shoulder. His tone was calm, as if he were discussing something trivial: “My name is Jiang Li, and I’m his protector.”

“Senior Jiang? Aren’t you forbidden from directly interfering with our world?” Yu Feng felt Senior Jiang’s physical presence for the first time.

Jiang Li smiled and said, “Just now, the River of Time cleared.”

Yu Feng looked expectantly: “Then can you defeat him? What realm are you in? Tribulation Crossing Stage?”

Yu Feng then remembered that he had never known Senior Jiang’s realm. He only knew that those in the Fusion Stage were respectful to him, and that those in the Tribulation Crossing Stage were his friends. Therefore, Senior Jiang was probably also in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Yu Feng boldly speculated that Senior Jiang was slightly stronger than Tianzun.

“Mahayana Stage,”

Jiang Li said, a word no one had heard of, not even Tianzun.

Tianzun concluded that the man before him was bluffing. “River of Time,” “Mahayana Stage”—such bizarre and unheard-of terms.

The Heavenly Ladder to Immortality had vanished. He had lived for five thousand years and never seen an immortal. How could it be so coincidental that one would appear at such a critical moment?

“Pretending to be mysterious, die!” Tianzun decisively struck, aiming to catch Jiang Li off guard.

Tianzun summoned a pitch-black mountain. The moment it appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy vanished without a trace. The cultivators present were horrified to discover they could no longer muster any spiritual energy, locked within their bodies, unable to draw upon it.

“This is the Yuanci Divine Mountain!” Da Zizai Arhat recognized the treasure.

“Legend has it that once this item is unleashed, no cultivator but its master can utilize spiritual energy.”

“Senior Jiang, be careful…”

Jiang Li, unconcerned, walked over with his hands behind his back, then leisurely kicked over, sending the Yuanci Divine Mountain and Tianzun flying. Tianzun coughed up blood, his internal organs dislocated.

He scoffed, “Is that all you can do?”

“By the way, what were you trying to say?” Jiang Li turned to Yu Feng and asked.

“Nothing,” Yu Feng said

, his voice still shut. “Who is this Senior Jiang?” Wu Lian whispered, twisting Yu Feng’s waist. Judging by their conversation, they must have known each other for a long time, yet they’d never told him.

“It hurts, it hurts,” Yu Feng feigned a grimace. “This Senior’s existence is a secret, and he’s helped me a lot. Previously, he was cut off by the River of Time, unable to act. Now that the River of Time is connected, I can finally take action.”

Yu Feng then realized that when Senior Jiang asked him how long he had lived at his longest, he was calculating the time it would take for him to return to the mortal world.

He understood Senior Jiang’s intention. He had asked him to save millions of mortals, not counting on him to succeed.

He wanted to stall until time returned to normal. “You deserve to die!” Tianzun, disheveled and dusty, had never looked so utterly awful.

The man before him was too terrifying. He needed to become stronger, as powerful as an immortal!

Tianzun opened his arms and reversed the Great Protective Formation, transforming it into a Devouring Formation, instantly plunging the Immortal Dynasty into despair. The Immortal Dynasty wailed everywhere, the cultivators behaving like the mortals they described as cowardly and greedy.

They had killed countless people on a daily basis, and now, finally, they were the ones being slaughtered.

The Great Free Arhat wrote his final stroke, becoming nourishment for the Celestial Lord.

“On the first day of the first month of the first year of the Immortal Dynasty, the Immortal Dynasty was destroyed.”

Five million cultivators were devoured by the Celestial Lord. The only survivors were Yu Feng and his wife, whom Jiang Li protected, and a million mortals.

Jiang Li ignored the five million cultivators. He had observed them with his divine sense for seven years, and not a single one of them was innocent.

Every cultivator’s hands were stained with the blood of mortals, including those who claimed to protect the mortal realm.

Dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled, and lightning exploded, the thunder roaring like a dragon’s roar. The calamity of becoming an immortal suddenly descended, striking the Celestial Lord and illuminating the entire continent.

Yu Feng had never witnessed such a thunderous tribulation. He swallowed hard. This was about to become a legendary immortal. Could Senior Jiang

possibly defeat him? Millions of mortals trembled in fear, not daring to look up.

“After surviving the Immortal Tribulation, I am now an immortal just like you!” Tianzun’s eyes shone brightly, his spirit radiant. He felt a power far greater than the blessing of national destiny coursing through his body.

The Immortal Tribulation had been so easy.

He felt now omnipotent, capable of defeating all enemies.

He no longer considered who would rule; his only priority now was to defeat Jiang Li.

Before Tianzun’s appearance, other Tribulation Crossing cultivators had destroyed their texts, leaving Tianzun unaware of the transformation into an immortal body and the absorption of immortal energy after the Tribulation.

He still believed he had achieved immortality.

Jiang Li shook his head slightly, “This is the weakest Immortal Tribulation I’ve ever seen.”

He turned to Yu Feng and said, “Remember, never survive such a weak Immortal Tribulation again. It would be embarrassing if anyone knew about it.”

Yu Feng nodded, bewildered, not understanding what was happening.

“How arrogant!” Tianzun sneered, summoning the Yuanci Divine Mountain once again and swinging it at Jiang Li.

The power of this attack was vastly different from the previous one. The Yuanci Divine Mountain ripped through space, sending turbulent void currents back into the Tonggu World. A howling wind ripped through everything.

The Yuanci Divine Mountain, honed by the turbulent void currents, grew even darker, like a massive, poisonous weapon, capable of killing anyone who touched it.

Jiang Li no longer held back, using the same technique. Another kick not only touched the Yuanci Divine Mountain, but also shattered it. Tianzun was horrified by this, his spiritual energy stagnating for a moment.

“How is this possible!”

He continuously unleashed his mighty magical powers, each one capable of shattering a piece of the Tonggu Continent.

But these mighty powers, which he prided himself on, paled in comparison to Jiang Li’s. Jiang Li didn’t even remove his hands from behind his back. With simple kicks, one after another, he crushed all of them.

Seeing Jiang Li’s kick coming, Tianzun was so frightened that he quickly transformed the Devouring Formation into a National Protection Formation, protecting only him.

Layer upon layer of indestructible energy barriers rose before Tianzun.

Tianzun was just about to catch his breath when his vaunted barrier shattered like paper before Jiang Li’s kick.

“Impossible!” Tianzun cried out in disbelief. He had been confident that the formation could withstand the attacks of immortals.

How could such an unnaturally powerful being exist!?

Jiang Li kicked Tianzun’s head, blasting it apart with a single kick, as casually as if he had accidentally stepped on a bug.

Tianzun regenerated his head, and Jiang Li kicked him again.

The blood-regeneration ability of the Tribulation Crossing Stage became the source of his torment.

Every time he opened his eyes, a giant foot would stomp him down, blasting him again. He himself lost count of how many times this cycle had repeated.

If he hadn’t been in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he would have died hundreds of times.

His screams, pleas for mercy, and threats were futile, unable to shake Jiang Li’s resolve.

“Your character is far inferior to Yu Feng’s.”

Finally, Jiang Li extracted Tianzun’s soul, refined it, and turned it into dust, which dissipated into the world.

Tianzun’s spiritual energy also returned to the Tonggu World.
