Dual Sword God - Chapter 15: The Path of Swords

The 'Path of Swords' was endless an endless sight to behold, stretching far away in the distance, beyond which the eyes can see. There were floating swords scattered about at the sides of varying sizes, with a pressuring sword aura flowing from within them causing the gravity within the pathway to keep growing stronger and stronger at every pace taken further along its course.

Feng Yu felt as if he was walking towards the core of the world, beads of sweat could be seen rolling off his forehead while his veins were fully exposed, with every step taken along the path, there were visible depressions shown on the surface of the solid ground.

"Huff! Huff! The further I go, the stronger it gets, I have to give it my all just to keep standing. I've only just managed to reach the distance of 35 kilometers." looking at the vast stretch of road paved out in front of him he began to complain inwardly.

Feng Yu had currently cleared the requirements for being accepted as a true challenger of the path having crossed the first 10 kilometers. However, due to him not feeling satisfied by having only gain acceptance. He continued to push himself onward in hopes of not only testing his limit but striving to receive the great reward. At his current distance the gravity pressure in the field was already more than ten times its usual amount, even crawling in this phase of the trial itself would be considered a rare feat for someone still at body training realm.

Observing the distant struggling form a strange light could be seen in the transparent forms ancient eyes he muttered to himself "Hmmm... Not bad! Not bad! But, if you want the great surprise. It will take a whole lot more than what you can currently achieve."

******

Time couldn't be told inside the path of swords, as everything within this space seemed to remain in a constant state. Feng Yu has already been struggling onwards for about ten days now, and because of moving for so long, his body was already reaching the point of complete exhaustion. However, his struggling proved not to be in vain as he has traveled a distance of 45 kilometers.

In the distant misty region of the path, there was a vague cyan glowing light in the shape of a sword, as if it was taunting his efforts it hovered silently in the distance. Looking closely, many more swords of its kind were also brightly shining, however, due to their scope, they could hardly be seen.

"Huff! Finally! The first checkpoint is visible, If I can make this point, I would have already cleared the first challenge earning a Fundamental Sword Skill. I've already wasted ten days I can't afford to waste any more time here." wiping the sweat off his forehead Feng Yu was now feeling a bit more excited than depressed, he pushed more energy into his already exhausted body and sped forward struggling to endure the pressure of his surroundings.

After two more days, in front of Feng Yu, the hovering sword glowing in white appeared, standing before the hovering sword Feng Yu pondered. "Hmmm, I wonder what kind of Fundamental Sword Skill this sword will give me."

Shortly the mysterious voice could be heard once again "Oh! Not too bad! To make it here with only 12 days of hard work, while you may not have been the best challenger I've seen to take this challenge. Your talent isn't necessarily too far off from those previous challenger's."

"There were others before me, I wonder, who were those individuals? Could they be...." as Feng Yu heard this he began to reflect inwardly for a while, recalling the corpses of the skeletons seen outside, he felt a bit frightened. Quickly, he cleared his mind of those thoughts and looked towards the floating sword.

"Senior, which technique would I be receiving for traveling this far." Feng Yu feeling curious asked.

"Technique? HAHAHA! No little one, one must learn to walk before they try to run, as a beginner of the sword, you can only start by building a firm foundation of Sword Skills."

Whoooossshhh!!!!

After speaking the figure appeared beside the sword and quickly pointed its finger towards Feng Yu, a rush of energy soon followed from the floating sword and flowed inside of his body, following which a vast collection of knowledge about the 'Fundamental Sword Training Methods' was collected within his sea of consciousness in the form of an Ancient Sword Manual. The information of the sword shown in Feng Yu's mind was enough for an average practitioner to get lost in practice for years upon years. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"The Sword Foundation Tactics, such a profound set of fundamental sword moves, no wonder he said I'm not ready for a True Sword Technique. It would seem that learning the Way of the Sword is an entirely different world of practice when compared to Normal Martial Skills, I wonder how long it would take to master all of these skills?" Feng Yu felt like he had just glanced across a whole new world he was beginning to wonder if he would be able to grasp all of these essential styles successfully.

"No matter, I decided that starting with 'Black Lightning' I will travel with the sword to the peak. " A firm and hard willed light appeared in his eyes as he thought back to his broken sword.

"Em! Good! It's great that you have not given up after seeing its complexity, hardship carves the hero. Now then, young sword novice you can either choose to continue the path of swords Trial or give up and practice before treading the path once again. The next checkpoint is 100 kilometers so long as you reach this distance you will be considered a true candidate for the Path of Sword Trial for Successorship. Remember, you only have three chances, and you are currently on your first chance." observing the look in Feng Yu's eyes the figure felt pleased, he quickly advised Feng Yu about his current options.

Thinking about it for a while, Feng Yu decided to continue his first chance to see how far he could make it "Senor, I will continue on the path first."

"Good! Let the second phase begin." Waving his hand the pressure in the area instantly increased by another five-fold.

BANG!!

Feng Yu crashed on the ground frontwards, both his arms were held out in front of him while his knees where pressed hard against the floor. He couldn't even set himself up straight much less walk.

"Argh! I didn't think it would increase this much if I can't even move properly, how will I even stand a chance?" Feng Yu was once again trusted into a state of peril, he tried his hardest to move only to fumble around on the solid ground giving himself blisters on both his hands and knees.

After struggling for what seemed like forever, finally, he managed to lift himself up and sat in the cross-legged position, Feng Yu sighed in relief while clenching his teeth tightly.

"Sigh, It seems that I'll have to rely on my bloodlines prestige. Hopefully, it would be powerful enough to help me get to the end of this phase." not feeling entirely convinced of his situation Feng Yu began to stimulate his bloodline according to the <Nirvana Flame Cultivation Technique> guideline.

Inside his body, his blood started to shine as it changed from its original red color and took on a golden red hue. Quickly, his muscles began to bulge an compress tightly gathering even more power, as his Aura Pulse also started to pulsate at a higher frequency increasing the essence-energies inside of his body particularly the Flame Essence which has taken on a more sacred nature.

Noticing a change happening within Feng Yu's body the figure floating in the void became surprised.

"Well, are you trying to use your bloodline in this challenge? Haha interesting, let's see how far you can make it with it." the figure smiled while observing Feng Yu's transformation.

After a while Feng Yu's body started to glow as his red hair became a mix of gold and red, his eyes turned golden, and if one were to look underneath his clothing, they would be able to see a series of ancient markings arranged on top of his skin uniquely.

BANG!!!!!!!!!!

An earth-shaking Flame Essence was released from his entire body that while not Aura Energy, it was such so condensed it seemed similar to Aura Energy, sensing that the pressure surrounding him drastically reduced Feng Yu grasped his fist tightly while feeling a bit more confident.

"Much Better! I didn't think I would become so powerful when using my bloodline, hmm, it seems that I can't maintain this state for extended periods at the Body Training Realm. I can at most last for about 50 minutes at my current stage of cultivation."

Feng Yu soon realized that bloodline awakening had its weakness, no longer pondering about it deeply, he decided to press onwards with the remaining time quickly. He took a step forward and started dashing forwards.

Swish! Swish! Swisssh!

It was like he transformed into a blur as he made his way to the depths of the Path of Swords feeling like nothing could stop him.

A smirk could be seen on the floating figures face as it stared at Feng Yu making his way further along the path.

"Hehe, I wonder what the look on his face will be when he finally realizes!"

Soon, after 40 mins of dashing Feng Yu had finally managed to reach a distance 90 kilometers. Currently, however, his entire body was feeling sore despite the powerful physique given to him while using his awakened bloodline form. Within a few moments, it disappeared, and instantly a wave of exhaustion flowed over him. He quickly forced himself into crossed-legged position bearing the heaven burden of the pressure once more as he glanced towards the shining sword a few more kilometers in front of him.

"Huff! Huff! Almost there, just a little bit further and I... Eh? What's going on? Why does the sword seem as if it's the same distance it previously was before I activated my bloodline's battle form." while looking front of him Feng Yu saw that path towards the sword did not get any closer.

"It's as you suspected, as you have used your bloodline the challenge has not only increased, but it has also increased the pressure that you face. However, in your bloodline state, the next checkpoint distance increased from 100 kilometers to 200 kilometers with the pressure increased by a fold. Once you recovered from your bloodline state, the path will recover back to the usual distance with the actual distance traversed represented in the ratio of 1:1 instead of 1:2. Like right now, you have only traversed a distance of 53 kilometers out of 100 kilometers." the figure said as it appeared out of nowhere in front of Feng Yu. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Do you wish to continue?" it said while smiling.

"I will continue to end!" Feng Yu shouted while reactivating his phoenix form and swiftly rushing to the point once again.

"I'll have you know once you have cleared halfway of the current phase, the pressure will again increase by tenfold."

Hearing no reply and observing Feng Yu's figure once again struggling the figure showed Feng Yu a glance of respect.

"Interesting! Shall we test your limits once again."

Dual Sword God - Chapter 14: Tydol of the Phantasmal Swords

The atmosphere within the depths of the cavern was a 'boiling' one indeed as heat waves gushed about everywhere. Occasionally, flares of flames would spurt out from the ground crashing unto the walls.

As if some force controlled them, a few of the massive flares abruptly shot out from the lava soaring into the sky before threateningly traveling towards the central platform.

Whoosh!!!!

Noticing the flames rushing towards their location the figure in imperial robes appeared as if it was not worth his attention, with an indifferent expression he casually waved his hand causing the downburst of flames to collapse into sparkles of light that scattered across the platform. A few of the sparkles of light flew across the face of a confused looking young man.

Hearing the name of the figure Feng Yu wasn't shocked or startled but rather puzzled as he had never heard this name before even in his families archive from his memories or at least not in their current archives.

Regarding Feng Yu's expression, Tydol wasn't surprised, as it seemed as if it was the reaction he was expecting. He looked towards the rocky ceiling of the cavern in a daze for a while before starting to speak once more.

"It's natural that you've never heard of me, as I am, after all... only a remnant of an old legend... an old tale of a forgotten man," Tydol said while smiling wearily.

"They once called me the 'Emperor of Man.' Eventually, I became known as the 'Emperor of the World.' The day I found my Supreme Dao I had already ruled the masses of the Greater World for thousands of eras. Soon, I became known throughout time as the one called Tydol, Tydol of the Phantasmal Swords. But, that was countless, years, ago..."

Feng Yu who was listening with interest suddenly began to ponder "Greater World, Supreme Dao, what is he talking about?"

Tydol soon recovered from his dazed state and looked towards Feng Yu. An interested gleam appeared in his eyes as he smiled and said strangely.

"Interesting, you were sent to this 'Planar' by a form of destiny. But strangely, your 'Destiny Star' isn't controlled by fate's workings. Instead, it is guided by a will that exists above fate itself. Now then, who? Or better yet what-----" Sensing something strange Tydol abruptly looked towards the ceiling. It was as if his gaze could pierce through time and space itself as his vision traveled through the skies of True Yuan World arriving at the endless and vast outer void. Deep within a region of the vacuum, a will materialized in the form an eye.

It had a divine profound 'decree' that seemed to declare that it is the only eye that should exist and nothing seen by all lifeforms is rightfully perceived. The iris was green in color, and if one looked very carefully, there were unique runes arrayed together to form multiple complex diagrams. It looked towards Tydol for a moment before vanishing as if it didn't exist. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Interesting! Very Interesting!" Tydol muttered as he scratched his chin with one of his arms while trying to ponder some more details, but soon, he gave up after recalling the previous scene. Rapidly recovering from his state of thought bringing his attention once more towards Feng Yu, only now, the former aloofness he had before was gone as he took on a more interested and expectant gaze towards him.

"Senior Tydol, what do you mean by Destiny Star? How do I..." Feng Yu was now completely confused from the beginning it seemed that nothing that Tydol was saying could be perceived in any particular sense.

Looking back at Feng Yu Tydol replied solemnly, "Little Phoenix, these are things you don't need to concern yourself with, at least, not for now... seeing as you have a budding sword root. I will bestow unto to you a rare chance of fortune, strive to make the best of it now, young one..."

He waved his hand, and the pillar of light surrounding Feng Yu began to shine brightly once more. Shortly, an ancient formation could be seen below Feng Yu's feet.

Shocked by the sudden seen Feng Yu tried to ask for more answers regarding his current situation but it was too late.

PUUUIIIIIII!!!!

A beam of light quickly overcame him, and he was instantly transported to another location.

Looking at the disappeared form of Feng Yu, Tydol smiled while muttering to himself "Little Phoenix tied by a higher fate, since we have met by its will then consider this as my sowing of Karma. If fate wills it let us one day meet again. "

Quickly, his form began to fade away leaving only the corpse with the two holders placed at its side. Stillness returned to the lava platform as if nothing had changed in the beginning.

******

Feng Yu was now in an odd looking graveyard. It was an endless field of swords that spanned across a vast and infinite horizon.

"What am I supposed to do here? I came looking for the exit, Sigh. Now it appears that I've been transferred to an even more complex place." He sighed while feeling complex emotions.

"Challenger! Challenger! Challenger!" a voice said as it resounded throughout the space.

"Welcome to the Sword Graveyard. Here, I have left all the collections of sword skills I have mastered and taken with me to the peak of my strength. If you want to accept my sword arts, then you will have to earn it. Pass my Trial, and you will gain a reward befitting that of your results..."

The voice of mysterious being soon rung out within the void, Feng Yu upon hearing the voice was started, but soon he became at ease, he looked towards the source of the sound.

Floating in the air was a form or rather a silhouette of a transparent being it hovered in the air and seemed ethereal to all things existing within the material plane.

"Senior, what kind of trial is this what would I need to do?" feeling curious about the Trial Feng Yu asked while looking around the space.

"It's simple all you have to do is travel the path of swords, the further you go, the greater your chances of receiving my inheritance. The Pathway is 1000 Kilometres, and the 10-kilometer mark is where it begins, If you can reach 50 kilometers, you would have already proven yourself worthy of being given basic sword foundation skill and 500 kilometers you will be given a sword art, but, if you can make it to 1000 Kilometres, you will receive not only the inheritance but a great surprise. Are you prepared to accept this challenge?"

Thinking about it for a short moment Feng Yu responded "I will accept the challenge!" as a firm light shone brightly within his eyes. He grasped his fist tightly as he stared at the endless graveyard of swords.

"Good! Now then, You will have only three chances to pass this Trial make the best of it. Path of Sword Trial begin..." the voice said soon his voice trailed off into the wind after which was followed by a loud noise.

RUMBLE!!!!!

The world started to change once more, and the pathway was soon extended to even broader and lengthier scale. Feng Yu being at the entrance of the path only saw everything around him disappearing from the graveyard leaving just an endless road in front of him.

BUZZZ!!!

THUD!!

Following a loud buzzing sound the pressure in the area instantly increased to about five times the usual gravity. Feng Yu who was not expecting the sudden change in pressure fell to his knees on the floor. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Darn! Such strong gravity, It looks like this won't be an easy journey." Feng Yu said while picking himself up off the floor looking towards the pathway. He placed himself into running posture and began to dash forward vanishing into the distance leaving only a trace of words.

"The path of adversity is challenged through firm willpower! I will not stop here!"

Dual Sword God - Chapter 13: An Ancient Tomb

A soft trail of wind could be felt within the cavern, trying to pave its way through the massive cluster of rocks guarding the entrance. Vaguely, a loud snoring noise could be heard coming from outside its cover.

HUM! HAA! HUUM! HAAA! HUUM! HAAA!!

Within what was once a beautiful field of grass and trees laid a massive golden furred creature amongst its remnants. Its snore was so loud and resounded throughout an entire area of 500 meters. Suddenly, it scratched its belly and glanced towards the entrance of cavern through the corner of its eyes. A violent an cunning gleam flickered brightly at the core of its eyes.

"GASP!"

Swallowing a breath of fresh air, Feng Yu felt surprised at the Golden Furred Ape King's stubbornness. He sighed at the bottom of his heart while thinking.

"It seems that this Damn Ape won't be giving up that easily, sigh, look at it acting as if it is the protector of the fallen cave. I have no choice. I have to find another way out of here."

He looked at the broken sword 'Black Lightning ' on the ground beside him and picked it up gently cleaning it for a while he then placed it in his storage ring.

Feng Yu looked around for a bit then focused his gaze towards the depths of the cavern, vaguely, a warm light could be noticed at about 200 meters downwards. It could be seen at first glance that this was a bottomless cavern, after walking for a short while a feeling of heat could be felt as the temperature began to rise for every step talking further downwards.

This cavern was different from normal ones while traveling further underground Feng Yu was beginning to notice some interesting things. There were ancient markings on the walls arranged uniquely. Faintly, both the walls and floor looked as if it was sliced into by sharp weapons while specific areas were made into small craters by heavy blunt objects. These signs continued to trail all the way down to the very bottom of this cave.

"It seems as if there was a battle here, but it happened quite a long time ago." Feng Yu said while noticing how mosses and dirt have taken up back most of the gorges as well as how faded the sword marking were. He clenched his fist tightly and made a blow towards the wall with seventy percent of his strength.

BANNGG!!!

The wall remained unharmed due to its incredible durability, it seems as though this type of cavern wall was imbued with some foreign source of strength that originated from the odd markings arranged on its surface.

Feng Yu was shocked by the power of the cavern walls "What type of augmented rune is this? I've never seen anything like this before, to think that even this amount of strength cannot break it. Could it be that those who fought here before are people of far greater power than I currently wield? I wonder, who could have been the one to have made such a rune?"

Thinking for a bit, he decided to no longer pay attention to the strange runes as he had not too long ago got into contact with this world, it was natural that he wouldn't know many of the strange things. After traveling for a depth of 1000 meters, he arrived at the source of the warm light he saw from the previous distance.

A blast of heat quickly surged across his face, casting his red hair backward and his clothing which began to make 'Flap' 'Flap' noises due to the sudden heat wave.

"Hmm, the temperature here isn't too bad." Feng Yu said while feeling slightly comfortable.

If it were anyone else who came to this distance in the face of such a heatwave, they would have either burnt to a crisp or suffered severe burn injuries. After all, the temperature here was no lower than 900 Degrees. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

At the front of Feng Yu was massive space of about 2 kilometers, within which was an endless amount of lava at boiling high temperatures. There was a solid platform about 500 meters wide at the center of the of lava, attached to it was a rocky pathway that was connected the area where Feng Yu was currently standing.

Observing the region closely an assortment of pillars could be seen arrayed around the entire platform, standing proudly at the central position was an ancient tombstone that seemed to have stood there from antiquity times. Across its surface was the very same rune markings seen on the walls previously, that led all the way from the beginning of the path traveling down the to depths of the cavern. The only difference being that these markings were far more complex and profound.

"Wow! Who constructed such a thing I wonder, could this entire cavern be a sort of tomb...?" Feng Yu was curious and surprised at the new structures.

After observing the surroundings for a while and seeing nothing out of the ordinary and dangerous Feng Yu started making his way towards the ancient looking tombstone at the center of the pillars.

Quickly, he arrived within its vicinity looking towards the ground he saw a bunch of skeletons, each with their chest armors and bones destroyed in the same violent method, a few weapons were also left on the floor beside the frames.

Feng Yu reached his hand out and picked up one of the weapons, but before he could even give it a good swing, it decayed into dust.

Crumble!

"It seems that these guys have been dead for many many years...." Feng Yu said softly while looking at the dust flowing down from his hands.

"I wonder what or who killed them?" Feng Yu began to ponder, he then moved his sight from the skeletons and stared at the ancient tombstone, there a corpse of a man that sat in lotus position on top of an old throne created bellow tombstone. It was dressed in old torn up robes but judging from its quality it seemed to be made of a type of rare creature, the corpse held two scabbards in its hands each giving off an exceptional aura, and they also had ancient carvings making both of them feel as if they came from ancient times.

"EH? A corpse, but how could its body be preserved to such a state. If my inference is correct, this body should have been here around for an even longer period than bot these two dead skeletons. Hmmm, what interesting looking scabbards could they be a Heavenly Artifacts?" Seeing the items before him, Feng Yu felt excited, after scanning them carefully with his soul strength he did not sense any signs of danger. Thus, he reached his hand out to try and take the two scabbards, but soon he was hindered by an unknown force.

RUMBLE!!!!!!

PUUUUUIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!

Suddenly, the platform began to shake in an unsettling manner as pillars that were surrounding the tomb began to shine with bright golden light.

"It's not good! What's going on? Did I trigger some sort of trap?" before Feng Yu could react, all the lights connected forming a circular formation that beamed down a pillar which instantly surrounded Feng Yu. The corpse that had the two scabbards suddenly seemed to have been granted a breath of life.

Whooosshhh!!!!!!!!!

A stream of energy condensed around its form, and instantly it transformed the ancient corpse into a figure of an ordinary looking man, he was wearing a grand robe and had an imperial crown on his head. His hair was silver and looking into his eyes was a scene that seemed to have been filled with the ancient vicissitudes of time.

"Who...?" the corpse said.

"Who is it... that has awakened me!" it said once more.

A voice that was filled with weariness and dignity shock the carven and reached to depths of Feng Yu's soul.

Shocked by too many things happening all at once Feng Yu could only stare blankly at the man that appeared in front of him.

Soon, however, the figure took notice and stared at Feng Yu carefully observing him.

Being started at by ancient being Feng Yu who was in a daze suddenly regained his wits, he felt as if all the secrets hidden within him was exposed, he decided to greet the senior.

"Young... Younger Generation Feng Yu greets the Ancient One!" Feng Yu's voice echoed throughout the silent space. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Ancient One... HAHAHAHA! Ancient One, Indeed..." Suddenly a look of melancholy could be seen on the face of the figure, however, it was soon replaced by a severe and solemn expression.

"Little One, I am called by one name and one name only throughout this endless heaven and earth..."

Seeing that the figure had stopped inspecting him, Feng Yu felt better at heart he curiously listened to the words that he was saying.

"They called Me Tydol, Tydol of the Phantasmal Swords!"

Dual Sword God - Chapter 12: Night Turns to Day, A Startling Phenomena

It was fairly quiet tonight in Machen Town, and the festive atmosphere wasn't in its usual full bloom as most of residents and travelers were busy preparing for the upcoming Sky Splitting School's Talent Selection.

However, there were quite a few places open having an average amount of public activity. Inside of a famous pub, quite a few individuals crowded around enjoying a wild atmosphere, beautiful women dressed in revealing clothing were flaunting about entertaining the lonely guest bringing a sense of warmth on this chilly night.

In a quiet and remote corner, a stranger was seated around an empty table observing the crowd while drinking a small cup of wine. He was dressed strange clothing that appeared to have been made from unknown creatures, streams of light were flowing in a peculiar and unique style within unusual patterns arranged across his garments, smiling, he looked out the window his gaze wandering off into the starry night sky.

"So, a small place like this can have such an atmosphere. Hmm, the stars seem a bit strange tonight." While lost in thought the stranger found that something was peculiar, swiftly, he vanished from his previous position appearing way into to distant sky. He stood in the air as one would on flat ground, floating as if it was a kind of fundamental instinct.

If there were anyone currently capable of seeing this far into the sky, they would have indeed been shocked in to fear. As this was an inherent ability, available to only those who have crossed the 'threshold,' shedding the mundane.

The night sky was getting brighter and brighter eventually becoming eclipsed with a bright golden scarlet hue.

"How can this be? Who in this world could inspire a 'Heavenly Recognition' at this standard!!! Could it be related to that?..." the man was filled with shock, he waved his right hand into the air creating a sequence of elaborate runes, following which, a stream of many intricate pieces of information flowed back and forth within his eyes as if trying to deduce laws of the world.

Pufff!

He spat a mouthful of blood, and his countenance instantly became pale.

"Incredible! It is capable of even interfering with my deductions, my Lang Shang has never failed a deduction from the day I confirmed my 'Dao' through Laws Governing the Heavens and the Earth. Interesting, HAHAHA! The world will see a new era once again." The strange man began to laugh as he stared at the heavens while feeling shocked and excited in his heart.

PUUUUUIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!

After a loud and piercing sound that resounded throughout the heavens itself, the sky quickly became filled with scorching flames that eclipsed the entirety of the night. In an instant, the night turned into what seemed like the day, as a blazing light shone brightly across the world covering a quarter of the entire True Yuan Outer Continent, shocked by the sudden occurrence, all the citizens within their respected empires began to worry.

"What! What's going on?"

"How could it be daytime already?"

"No that's not daylight!! Look into the sky quickly!!!!"

"Oh my God! The sky is burning!!!!"

As the citizens of the empire were beginning to lose their wits, the more experienced cultivators were on the verge of losing their minds.

An old man seated on top of a mountain carefully investigated the sky, his eyes were filled with the gleam of wisdom, after observing the phenomena for a while he soon became filled with astonishment.

"Such a powerful Heavenly Recognition! What kind of bloodline is this? Who is Awakening?" said the old man.

Various sect masters and supreme elders where all were pondering the same question, as emperors and empresses were all curious and began to search for the source of the phenomena. However, all their efforts were pointless as the scale of the phenomena was too large, and it was also challenging to find where it originated from. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Within a distant land far away from many of the empires on True Yuan Continent, a young man could be viewed seated around a giant bonfire, in front of him was a creature or rather the corpse of that creature. It was 50 meters in height and 70 meters in length with a tail if up to 10 meters. a creature filled with red scales, vaguely, there could also be seen 9 Stars on its forehead above the marking of the characters 'King'.

If anyone in the cultivation world were to see this sight, they would have been certainly shocked to their demise once again, for the creature laying before the young man was of noble lineage being a Tier 5 Variant Supreme Beast of the 9th Star called Red Scaled Dragon King

The young man had a huge handle blade plunged into the ground, and he was currently engaged in a sumptuous meal of dragon meat. Soon, however, he looked up into the distant sky, across the horizon he could see a bright tone of gold and scarlet that occupied the entire horizon line.

"The Aura of the Phoenix? Interesting, not only that but the presence of the one connected to me by fate. No matter, the stars still control his destiny and destiny is as I see it." Xiang Fang smiled while looking at the horizon, the stars glittering excitedly in his eyes.

Inside Feng Manor, Feng Yunlong and Feng Junling looked out the sky with excited expressions on their faces.

Feng Yunlong said, "Everyone quickly, try to gather the Aura from the Scorching Sky, use it to stimulate your awakening now!!"

Without wasting time any further, everyone began to stimulate their bloodline seal. As if sensing something, the fire aura scattering among the heaven and earth began to surge towards the Feng manor in a wild fashion. Quickly, the sounds cracking could be heard, and scorching golden-scarlet light drowned the entire main hall. Luckily all of this happened in such a chaotic scene as if anyone were paying close attention they would have seen this spectacular event.

After about 30 Minutes the flames in the sky began to die down and the night quickly returned to reign supreme once again.

******

Tydol Mountain Range, Within the Collapsed Cavern.

Feng Yu was currently laying down on the ground, his injuries were now non-existent, and his body gave off an aura of an ancient and supreme prestige.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked around the cavern space, within the area of 10 meters, there was a scorched segment of the earth as well as the walls, almost forming a complete spheroid shape and he was currently seated within the bottom half of this crater-like shape.

Feng Yu gripped his fists tightly and felt surprised, "Such Power! Is this what it feels like to truly awaken your bloodline. I feel like I could stop anything and I haven't even inspired my bloodlines prestige."

Looking within his inner consciousness, he saw the vast space once again now It was almost 1.5 kilometers in size nearly two times the size of a cultivator at the 9th Tier of Body Training Realm.

Looking at his body internals, he realized that his bones were now pure crystal with strikes of gold and his organs and veins felt sturdier. It could vaguely be seen that they were taking on a golden hue.

"Peak 6th Tier Body Training Realm! It looks like my advantage is not small. My foundation seems even firmer than before it won't be too long before I can break through once again." Feng Yu was excited it seemed that life and death have its advantages if one can live to tell the tale that is. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Looking at his naked body, he quickly willed for some clothing within his storage ring and redressed himself.

"Now that I'm recovered, I can start to find a way outside of this cave." Feng Yu said while looking at the collapse entrance in front of him.

Dual Sword God - Chapter 11: The Sword Is My Life, Hot Bath Rebirth

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

Within the collapsed cavern, sparkles of moonlight could be seen flowing through the small cracks of the clustered rocks and boulders. The sound of water droplets could be heard every once and a while.

There was a long trail of blood on the floor, which trailed all the way to an obscure corner. A fair distance away from the radiant moonlight shining through the cracks of the collapsed boulders. Looking closely a figure could be noticed lying on the ground. He was covered in blood which flowed all the way down his body including the solid stony ground. His clothing was torn to pieces, his hair was in disarray, and his skin was ruptured in multiple areas.

Feng Yu felt as if he was now on the brink of death, he tried to move around, but sadly, his arms and were legs broken, giving himself as quick inspection with the little strength left from his inner conscious, he realized that he was suffering from multiple internal and external injuries. If it weren't for the fact that his body was tempered beyond that of an ordinary cultivator at the same stage because of practicing the <Nirvana Flame Cultivation Technique>, he would have already long since perished.

"Sigh, to think I barely made it a getaway... cough! " he coughed up some more blood, and his vision started to get dizzy.

Looking around the cave, he could barely recognize the sword 'Black Lightning ' in a distant corner. Slowly, he tried to reach his hands out in front of him to crawl towards it, but his arms were in broken an extreme pain, he could hardly move them properly. He had to use his entire body's strength just to push himself forward because of his broken bones.

After a long while, he arrived in front of 'Black Lightning ' leaving a long trail of blood caused by his crawling. Upon seeing the state of the sword in front him, he began to feel a pain on the inside of his soul, this sword had saved his life at the crucial moment when he placed everything into a final attack. It erupted with all its prestige using its full power to protect his life, only to be left with nothing to protect its core, finally, resulting in a few broken pieces becoming useless scrap metal.

"If it wasn't for you... I would have died... from now on... the sword... is... my... life..." Feng Yu muttered while trying his hardest to keep conscious.

He bit the broken sword with his teeth and tried his hardest to flip his body over towards his front side.

Thud! PUFF!

"AHH!!!! Cough! Cough!" after barely managing to turn himself over he coughed out a mouthful of blood while screaming due to immense pain. He then spat the sword out onto his chest and hugged it with his broken arms.

"The... Monkey Liquor..." Feng Yu tried his hardest to will some essence into the storage ring, after which he the Jar appeared in front of him on his chest. Slowly, he pushed his hands forward hitting the Jar over then bit unto the cork.

Pop!

After a bit of struggling the cork was popped off by his teeth without wasting a single drop of the liquor, he spat it out and started drinking from the Jar tube.

"Gulp! Gulp!..."

After a bit of time, the monkey liquor in the Jar was now empty. Feng Yu felt his entire insides burning as if it was continually being destroyed and rebuild, again and again, he coughed out a few more mouthful of blood and was now losing his consciousness.

"Cough! I... Will, Not, Die, Again!" Feng Yu said while blackness was slowly beginning to overcome his consciousness.

Gazing at the condition of the sword on his chest his vision became firm "Soon, I will repair you... and together... we will journey... to the peak of this world... ParT---Ner..." Feng Yu muttered with the last of consciousness as he fainted into a deep sleep.

Feng Yu was currently in a space curled into fetal position, surrounding him was an endless sea of fire.

"Where am I? Did I die again... sigh, how could this is my fate?..." looking at the sea of fire that surrounded him, he didn't know why but he felt comfortable in his heart, he felt as if he had returned to his roots.

Soon, the fire that was around him began to change, it was no longer the color of ordinary flames, but it turned bright scarlet with a bit of golden hue giving off a noble prestige.

"WHYYYY...." an ancient and profound voice filled with dignity began to resound throughout the flaming world.

Feng Yu was stunned after hearing the voice he shouted, "Who! Who are you?".

"WHY... DOES THE PHEONIXXXXX... FEAR..... IT'S DEMISEEEEEE....?" the voice replied.

Feng Yu felt confused, "Who are you! and What's with your question? What being in existence doesn't fear its death?"

"WHO I AMMMM..... DOESN'T... MAATTEEERRRRR..... YOU SHOULD CARE MOREEEE... ABOUT WHAT... YOU AREEEE....." said the voice.

Feng Yu thought for a moment, "What I am... not who I am..." suddenly he remembered the <Nirvana Flame Cultivation Technique> and the phrase used by the ancient will.

"From fire, I came... and through fire, I live again... the blaze of the nirvana shall exist for all... eternity..." enlightened Feng Yu suddenly came to an understanding.

As if feeling the stage of enlightenment within Feng Yu, the fire surrounding him began to grow more intense and was now glowing in a golden hue.

"WE ARE THE PHOENIX... THROUGH OUR NIRVANA..... WE EXIST, THROUGH ALL... ETERNITY....." said both Feng Yu and the Eternal Ancient as their voice synchronized resounding throughout the flame space.

BAANNNGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world was thrust into an endless fire, and Feng Yu's form instantly vanished from existence.

Within the cavern, Feng Yu's form that was lying on the ground suddenly started to glow in scorching golden red color. Soon, the clothing on his body began to burn and turned into ashes as the golden red light continued to grow. Finally, it surrounded a space of 10 meters creating a ball of golden red fire.

Feng Yu was now floating inside this ball of flame curled into the fetal posture. He looked like a Fire God that descended from the 'Purgatory Realm.' Inside his body, the blood began to glow and a powerful ancient aura soon began to radiate from his entire being.

******

Within Machen Town, Inside the Feng Manor, within a broad Private Hall.

All the family elders and main descended were gathered here seated into the lotus position, the collateral members where out handling the day to day tasks of the family.

At the center of the family members were two men seated within a central formation each connecting to the elders and then the juniors. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

They were Feng Yunlong and Feng Junling, today they both felt that they were on the verge of genuinely awakening their bloodlines and wanted to use this chance as a means help the others in the family stimulate their bloodlines, although it was a long shot it was better than just going at it alone and leaving the other members struggling to derive the seal on their own.

Suddenly, however, there was a significant change in Machen Town one that would be remembered for countless eons to come.

Dual Sword God - Chapter 10: A 'Narrow' Escape

Within the forestry of the mountain range, five figures faced off grandly. They stood off on an open field that was surrounded by countless tall ancient trees.

A gust swept across their battlefield kicking up clusters of petals, which continued to flow amongst the distant trees at the edges the field. As rays of sunlight beamed down through the spaces between the tree leaves, bathing all the forms locked into to the standoff.

The glossy silver fur on the bodies of the elder apes flowed with the wind making them look like divinities sent from the heavens. Standing at the center was a man with bright red hair dancing about softly in the wind. Observing at this scene from a distance, it seemed as if it was the final battle between the Divinities of heaven and the Red-Haired Demon King.

The atmosphere soon became sharp as the Silver Furred Apes grew more severe upon seeing a sword appearing in Feng Yu's hand they could all feel the great threat of the sword itself. Speedily they reached for objects in the surroundings each of them choosing a solid object to use as a weapon.

Seeing them arm themselves for battle Feng Yu felt this was not going to be as easy as he imagined.

He then repositioned himself for battle, not by his previous combat stance. But instead, assuming basic combat form with both his arms holding the sword over his head while crouching down with one foot in front and another facing outward.

"I've never used a sword before in my previous life, but at least I have an idea towards its basic combat form. I'll have to get a sword scroll whenever I get the chance in the future." Feng Yu muttered while observing the Silver Furred Apes.

Swish!!

Soon one of the Silver Furred Apes in front of Feng Yu moved leaving a remnant shade in its previous location, quickly arriving at his front brandishing the large bat shaped boulder towards his skull.

Wooosshh!!!!!

The pressure from the force of the strike caused the space in front of Feng Yu to grow disorganized. However, he did not move, carefully inspecting with his Soulforce once again he found the perfect spot for an attack.

Flash!

With a sway of his body, Feng Yu revolved the <Lightning Flash Steps> transforming into a streak of lightning swiftly appearing to the side of the silver-furred ape. His hands still grasping the sword then slashed out violently towards the Silver Furred Ape's unguarded hand.

Shiiinnngg!!!!

The sword cry resounded throughout the silent space, the Silver Furred Ape noticing that his opponent had vanished felt an ominous omen. It tried to move its hand in time, but it was too late.

Puichi!

The sound of meat getting sliced resounded throughout the field, and the sword in Feng Yu's hands was plunged deep into the fleshy hand of the Silver Furred Ape. Sadly, it was stopped at the bone unable to advance further.

"Sigh, 'One must learn to walk before they try to run' although the sword I have is quite a powerful one, I can't utilize its power effectively, Therefore, I'll have to get a Sword Technique as soon as possible." seeing the result of his assault Feng Yu was slightly disappointed.

Shortly, the boulder that was in the Silver Furred Ape's hand fell towards the ground as it began to howl while holding its injured hand mournfully.

Hooouuuu!!!!!!!

Seeing an excellent chance to make a break for it appear Feng Yu implemented his <Lightning Flash Steps> instantly moving 15 meters away trying to make a break for it once again.

Hou! Hou! Hou!

The momentarily stunned Silver Furred Apes upon seeing him making his getaway quickly pursed once more.

******

Deep within the mountain range, a dazzling scene could be 'seen.'

A figure would momentarily appear and disappear after a series of flashes while occasionally slashing out a sword at one figure emerging towards his side, only to wound up getting attacked and injured by another assaulting figure flanking him from the opposing side.

After flashing again and appearing a distance away, the figure would swiftly relaunch slashes into the air blocking projectiles sent flying from a nearby range by a third figure preventing him from escaping with continuous 'Flashes.' It was a stunning display of 'Gorilla Tactics' or in this case Apes Stratagem. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Soon, however, these figures would once again turn into remnant shades pursuing a distant line of lightning trailing further and further into the depths of the mountain range.

With his entire body in a bloody mess, Feng Yu continued to display his <Lightning Flash Steps> due to extreme life and death situation his progress could be considered as astounding. A single flash could now take him to 30 meters instead of the previous 15 meters steadily making his way towards the large success stage.

"This isn't looking good. I have to find a way out!" Feng Yu said exhaustedly.

After nearly 6 hours of being chased, the time was now getting dark it was approaching the mountain's forest most dangerous period. Feeling that situation wasn't too right Feng Yu began to worry he launched out his Soulforce to find a slim chance of survival. Soon, he found that within the distance there was a cave that appeared to have been covered up with some significant stones, leaving only a part of it out to open.

Excited at his discovery Feng Yu was motivated harder to strive for survival. Sadly, In the distance, a loud noise could be heard dampening his mood.

HOOOUU! HOOOUU!

With one hand dragging the Golden Crown Red Tiger King's Corpse, the Golden Furred Ape King had appeared in the distance. Looking over at the undergoing chase lead by its clansmen elders, an excited expression appeared on its face as it noticed it wouldn't take long for the dirty human to be caught.

"LITTLE HUMAN!! YOU THINK CAN GET AWAY, HAHAHA! GIVE UP ANY IDEA OF, HMMM-----"

The Golden Furred Ape King shouted in an excited manner teasing Feng Yu. However, a puzzled expression came on its face as it looked towards the location Feng Yu was headed towards. With its keen eyesight, it spotted a cave entrance that was small regarding size when judged from its perspective. The Golden Furred Ape King was instantly mad it tossed aside the corpse and rushed forward at full speed.

Swish!!!! Swish!!!! Swish!!!!!!

"DAMN HUMANITY!!! DIE FOR ME!!!!!!"

Within a few moments, it was already closing in on Feng Yu. Its sheer speed with regard to its size would make anyone baffle in awe.

A pity Feng Yu was in no such position.

RUN! RUN! RUN!

"I Must Go Faster!!" Feng Yu forgot his surroundings and concentrated on executing the most speed he possibly could with <Lightning Flash Steps>. Shortly, his body soon began glowing with a vague aura of lightning.

KA-BANG!!!! FLASH!

As if breaking through a barrier the sound of thundering could be heard as Feng Yu's form instantly vanished and appeared 60 meters in the direction towards the cave. Looking at the distance cutting down faster and faster, Feng Yu was too preoccupied with survival to notice his breakthrough to large success stage of the <Lightning Flash Steps> Movement Skill.

He continued to revolve the <Lightning Flash Steps> leaving thunderous booms at every jump into the distance, the trail of lightning shown behind him getting more realistic after each of his use of the technique.

600 meters, 540 meters, 480 meters, 410 meters, 350 meters, 290 meters, 230 meters, 170 meters.

"ALMOST THERE!!!!" Feng Yu roared at the top of this voice.

"DIE!!! EARTH SHRINKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Golden Furred Ape King was furious at the prey that slipped out of its reach as it roared and started to glow in a golden color, it was now using one of its innate-ability bestowed to it by heavens.

PUIIIII!!!!!!!

Like a streak of light, it instantly appeared behind Feng Yu from its previous distance of over 500 meters, then the Golden Furred Ape King raised it right-hand gathering all the power it could muster into its palm, soon, its palm started to glow as it launched out a palm strike towards Feng Yu which released the condensed essences-energies gathered within it.

A feeling of inescapable death came over Feng Yu, knowing full well that he could not escape it. He decided to go out by giving it his all in one final attack.

"I've died once before! What's the point of being scared about dying again?" with a firm look in his eyes and determined expression he swiftly turned around and raised his right hand into a palm.

Looking at the stream of gold essence energy rushing toward him from the Golden Furred Ape King's palm attack he instantly understood what he was missing for his true success stage of the <Blazing Mantis Palm>. His entire collection of fire essence energy gathered inside of his palm, and with his full strength, he launched it towards the opposing Golden Furred Ape King.

"Blazing Mantis Palm Arts: Third Stance - Blazing Palm Wave!!!!!"

Swwoossshh!!! BANG!!!!!!

The fire essence energy rushed out of the palm towards the opposing gold essence energy creating an explosion that knocked Feng Yu backward causing him to cough up a mouth full of blood. Although he could now unleash his essence energy, it was still far from being a match for the 9 Star Golden Fur Ape King.

Seeing Feng Yu survive its assault the Golden Furred Ape King was surprised, it rushed forward once again while roaring angrily unleashing another death blow towards Feng Yu.

Utterly exhausted after unleashing all the essence-energy stored within his body Feng Yu was now too weak even to make a counter attack. He looked at the sinister sneer on the Golden Furred Ape King's face as its massive fist soon eclipsed his view of the rest of the world. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"I will not sit here and wait for my death!" Feng Yu mustered up his last will and looked at the sword still within his right hand noticing the name of the sword engraved on its blade in fine writing 'Black Lightning.'

"Black Lightning, Eh! Shall we give it one last shot..." an in-depth look appeared on his pale face as he gazed at the sword in his hand. As If responding towards Feng Yu, the sword began to give out a soft cry.

"I WILL NOT DIE!!! Block For Me!!!" gripping 'Black Lightning ' with his two hands he slashed out with every ounce of strength left in his injured body.

"HMPH!! DEATH!!!!!" the golden Furred Ape King roared in excitement as his fist smashed into Feng Yu.

Crack! Crack! Swwwoooossshhhh!!!

Like a comet, Feng Yu's body was blasted away crashing into the cave that was now only a few meters behind him. He tumbled down and continued to fall all the way deep into to cave.

The remaining force of the Golden Furred Ape King's attack was relentless as it smashed into the cave exterior causing entrance to cave-in.

CRASH!!! BOOMMM!! RUMBLE!!

Looking at the collapsed cave entrance the Golden Furred Ape King was once again upset, it roared into the sky and started to destroy everything within the area.

Dual Sword God - Chapter 9: A Dangerous Situation, Golden Furred Ape King!

The harsh rain soon came to an abrupt end, as if nature could feel something wrong. The clouds slowly began to part away revealing rays of light that shone down upon the forestry within the mountain range.

A shadow was immersed by one of the sun rays creating a golden luminance throughout the area, as it stood on top of a broken tree that was once a towering construct of nature reaching towards the vastness of the heavens.

The air in the field was now very thick, and it was as if a knife could be used to slice the tense atmosphere. The Golden Furred Ape King stared at the injured members of its tribe in anger, upon seeing that the Golden Crown Red Tiger King was still in a dazed state, it swiftly rushed towards him creating sonic booms as it traversed the distance almost within a flash.

BOOM!! WHOOOSSH!!!!!

"DARING TO INJURE MY CHILDREN!! I APE KING WILL NOT LET THIS REST!!!!" The Golden Furred Ape King shouted as it approached with blinding speeds that touched the limit of the sound barrier towards the Golden Crown Red Tiger King.

Suddenly, a tornado formed in the region resulting from the Golden Furred Ape King's swift charge. It began to expand outwards collapsing most of the nearby bushes and smaller trees, some of the injured apes were pushed towards further trees while the stronger elder apes were capable of holding their spots. The Golden Furred Ape King was not slow due to its size, in fact, besides having an immense amount of strength it had a great talent for speed.

"ROOAAAARRRR!!!!!!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Soon recovering from its fear-stricken state letting out a roar of might, the tiger king immediately prepared for battle knowing full well that trying to escape would be meaningless. A furious expression formed on its face as a determined an sharp light shone within its eyes, It quickly gathered power into its legs crushing the ground where it stood as it propelled itself forward towards the Golden Furred Ape King for a head-on collision.

KAABOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

Their clash caused the already turbulent environment to become even more of a disorder. As if assaulted by a hurricane all the silver-furred apes were tossed into the air flying tens of meters away from the central location.

Feng Yu who hid within a shrubbery was instantly exposed, because of the powerful shockwave caused by the 9 Star Essence Beasts collisions. While being blown away through the air, he swiftly stabilized himself by performing a spinning motion with his body. Then he immediately used <Lightning Flash Steps> to avoid the remaining wind pressure.

Flash!

Instantly, he arrived on top of a large tree a couple of meters away from the battle zone gripping its trunk and steadying his balance. Feng Yu looked towards the distant battling creatures that seemed to reshape the environment with a single swipe of their hands. He then glanced at the unguarded Jar of Monkey Liquor resting between sturdy stones at the center of the field.

"Not Good! Why would a 'Variation Essence Beast' be here? D*mmit! Who cares it's all or nothing!!" screaming out in defiance towards the heavens for playing such a trick Feng Yu decided to work with this opportunity to steal the Jar of Monkey Liquor.

Variation Essence Beast, these are creatures born with unique talent different from ordinary essence beasts, some awakening with ancient bloodlines and others with unique gifts bestowed by the Heavens. These creatures are said to be Invincible in the same rank and are capable of realm crossing during combat due to their natural endowments. There are some born with incredible wisdom no different from that of a human making them break away from the fetter of needing a high cultivation base to speak. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Moving like a flash of lightning Feng Yu transformed into a streak of lightning as he traveled towards the central location at high speeds.

Very quickly, he arrived at the location of the monkey liquor that is positioned between two large rocks firmly holding in place. He reached for the Jar and immediately transferred it into his Storage Ring.

"Good! HAHA! Time to get out of here!" excited at stealing the monkey liquor Feng Yu began to run away at top speed.

BOOOOOMMMM!!!!!

Soon the battle of the Tiger King and Golden Ape and reached the center of the field, the Golden Fur Ape King took a quick glance towards the location of the Jar and saw that it was missing. It instantly became shocked as a feeling of rage boiled within itself; Quickly, it looked around the location eventually spotting Feng Yu's retreating figure.

"SHAMELESS HUMANITY!!! KILL HIM NOW!!!!!!!"

With rage-filled eyes, the Golden Furred Ape King's held the Golden Crown Red Tiger King into a pincer hold as it roared giving commands to nearby uninjured Silver Furred Ape Elders.

"ROOAARRRR!!!"

The Golden Crown Red Tiger King that was being held in a pincer roared. Suddenly, it started glowing in a red shade as it quickly grew two times its previous size and burst out of the pincer hold swiftly dashing forwards repositioning itself for another attack towards the Golden Furred Ape King.

Seeing that the red tiger king was not giving up anytime soon, the Golden Furred Ape King became even more furious. It vanished from its position instantly attacking the Golden Crown Red Tiger King from its right side.

Swoooossssh!!!

The Golden Crown Red Tiger king agilely dodged the attack and swiped out its claws towards the Golden Furred Ape Kings chest. It seems that both its power and speed had increased by a sizable amount in relation to its size. Observing the claw attack that was approaching its chest, the Ape King sneered at the Red Tiger King as it proudly pumped outs its chest to receive the attack.

KLAANNK!!!

As if hitting metal, the sound of hard iron could be heard as sparks went flying into the air. Vaguely, there could be seen white lines of claw marks caused by the attack. The Red Tiger was shocked in to surprise once more.

As if it hadn't played with a fairly decent opponent in a long time the Golden Furred Ape King stretched its hand out towards the Red Tiger King and waved mockingly.

"Hmph! Is that all you've got Red Tiger King! Such a pity, give me more of a challenge!!!!"

Not liking the feeling of being mocked the Red Tiger king rushed back in combat with the Ape King booms rang out as they continued to ruin the environment from clashing back and forth producing shockwaves after shockwaves seemingly to no end.

******

Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!

With the discipline commonly seen by soldiers, the silver-furred ape elders soon quickly responded after determining the position of the retreating Feng Yu.

Looking at the four Six-Star Tier 1 Silver Furred Apes approaching fast from behind him Feng Yu cursed in his heart "Damn! They noticed too quickly, I have to get out of here fast!"

Pushing his every effort into deploying this <Lightning Flash Steps> Movement Skill. Sadly, these Silver Furred Apes were not ordinary essence beasts as not only were they known for their brute strength, they were also well versed in speed.

Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!

Very quickly, he was overtaken and flanked by the apes at all four sides.

HOOUU!!!!

One of the apes walked forward in a dignified manner with a smirk on its face as it gestured towards Feng Yu with its fingers.

Seeing that he was flanked from all corners, Feng Yu did not panic. Instead, he was calm, he observed the situation and realized that there was indeed no way out. Thus, he decided to give it his all.

"Hmph! You think you can have your way with me because I'm cornered. Well, guess again!"

Feng Yu instantly assumed combat stance setting himself into the 'Mantis Form' of the <Blazing Mantis Palms Arts>. Seeing that Feng Yu had refused to answer to its request a ruthless gleam shone in its eyes, glancing towards the other apes for a moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant they collectively made a charge, reaching out there arms as if they intended to grab him then rip him to pieces from all four sides.

Feeling an imminent sense of doom Feng Yu closed his eyes, with his right hand positioned above his head and his hand to his left side stretched out in front. He began to sense the changes of the air with his powerful Soulforce. Shortly, he figured out the attacking points of the silver-furred apes and decided to strike before they could reach him.

Swisssh! Swisssh! Swisssh! Swisssh!

"Blazing Mantis Palm Arts: Second Stance: Blurry Mantis Palms!!!!!"

Feng Yu shouted utilizing the most powerful stance he currently grasped within the <Blazing Mantis Palm Arts> Martial Skill. Quickly, his arms started to move leaving blurry images in the air at all angles, accurately striking the silver-furred apes at their chests with his palms. The strike pushed the apes a few meters away creating a narrow open opening.

Seeing the opening Feng Yu was about to take the opportunity to escape the encirclement. However, the Silver Furred Apes quickly recovered from being pushed back by agilely repositioning themselves at the four sides. They looked at slight the burn marks on their chest and started to beat it furiously while staring at Feng Yu.

HOU!!! HOU!!! HOU!!! HOU!!!

"Chet! Even though my strength would put me on par with ordinary cultivators of the 6 Tier of body training realm and the <Blazing Mantis Palm Arts> second stance is quite powerful. It is not enough to make up the gap in strength between essence beasts and cultivators of the same rank. I need to acquire a weapon. Something to make up for my weak attacking power, wait..." while complaining about his current circumstance Feng Yu suddenly remembered that he had a weapon within his storage ring. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com


He reached his consciousness into the ring and quickly willed for the sword his uncle, Feng Junling gave him.

It was a dark colored sword with a black handle that had wrappings around it. The edge of the sword gave off an ominous glint proving its sharpness.

Using his soul to inspect the sword in his hand Feng Yu was happy, "Great Sword! It seems to be of top-tier mortal rank, with this weapon I should be able to injure these bastards at least an escape."

Looking at the silver-furred apes, Feng Yu shouted, "Now then, Let's try this again. Come at me!!!!".
