True Martial World - Chapter 851: The trapped Ranyi Fish

"To annihilate four black specter shadows with one move, and to think that he just used his fist!"

On the fourth and fifth levels of Black Wind Valley, the Fire Cloud State and Phoenix Firmiana State disciples were dumbfounded. Previously, they were fixated on Yi Yun's weak body, claiming that he had relied on his Aspect Totem and Ancient Fey bloodline to reach the seventh level. If it came to a pure contest in body, Yi Yun would not have been able to find his footing on either the second or third level of Black Wind Valley.

But now, Yi Yun's single punch was heaven shaking and forceful. Although these people had not been the target of the punch, they could still feel the pressure of the punch in front of them.

"That is actually not the strength of Yi Yun's body. Yi Yun's body is still very weak, but he summoned the Heaven Devouring Wyrm bloodline back to fuse with him! In this case, the power of the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's lifeblood is also the power of his lifeblood!" A Phoenix Firmiana State disciple said.

His tone was filled with amazement, but also regretful over being left in the dust by Yi Yun.

The surrounding Luo clan disciples had mixed feelings upon hearing this. Conjuring the Ancient Fey bloodline was good enough, but he had even fused with it!

In that case, who still dared say that Yi Yun's body was weak?

He had been mocked for having a weak body because his body would become a weakness. But now, once Yi Yun conjured the Heaven Devouring Wyrm to complete a fusion, he could share the lifeblood power of the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm!

That ability was extremely enviable.

Yi Yun had completely absorbed Ancient Fey bloodline in four days, and even if the other days were counted, it was less than half a month.

A human had used less than half a month to absorb an Ancient Fey bone so completely?

Now, in front of Yi Yun, they did not even want to mock him for his identity as a human, because they were embarrassed to call themselves members of the Fey race. Be it in terms of bloodline concentration, or their absorption of Ancient Fey bones, they were far inferior to Yi Yun, so how could they be proud to be members of the Fey race?

At that moment, the person who was suffering the greatest mental collapse was Ran Yu. He had taken the opportunity when Yi Yun and the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake were in a struggle to decisively make a strike. He had lured the eighth level black specter shadows towards Yi Yun, managing to avoid violating the rules of the trial of not attacking each other to place Yi Yun in a life and death danger. It could have been deemed a masterstroke.

But immediately following that, Yi Yun had fused with the Heaven Devouring Wyrm bloodline. His single punch had simultaneously shattered Ran Yu's machinations into smithereens. It made all the planning from before turn into a joke.

Ran Yu was thoroughly afraid when he saw Yi Yun's body covered in dragon scales. Yi Yun was standing there with a murderous aura.

Although Ran Yu knew leaving this dejectedly was embarrassing, he was out of choices. The seventh level was not safe. Despite the fact that the black specter wyrm was already dead, there were still other black specter shadows that were constantly gathering around the seventh level. Ran Yu could not withstand that at all.

"Yi Yun, consider yourself lucky! But don't be complacent. You aren't even at the Heaven Ascension realm. Your future is still a blur. There have been numerous geniuses and wonders in the history of the Luo clan, but unfortunately they died before they managed to mature. Here's me wishing you, Yi Yun... do not die too early!"

By throwing those nasty words out, Ran Yu hoped that he could redeem a bit of his face. Although his words were toxic, what he said was true. In the Luo clan, most juniors failed to mature to the very end. The 12 Empyrean Heavens was a world with large tumultuous waves. It was extremely common to die on the path of martial arts.

After Ran Yu said this, he turned around to flee onto the sixth level. He did not want to compete with Yi Yun any further, because he could not handle it!

Just as Ran Yu flew up, a cold beam flashed in Yi Yun's eyes.

"Do you think that this seventh level is a place where you can come and go as you please!?" Yi Yun bellowed as all the power of his lifeblood burned.

This was the power that belonged to the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm, and now with Yi Yun's body as a medium, it completely burst outward!

Heaven devouring!

Wo! Wo! Wo!

With Yi Yun's body as the core, the engulfing force radiated in all directions!

With the Heaven Devouring Wyrm completely fused into Yi Yun's body, the engulfing force was much stronger than before!

The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake had been injured previously, so it was trapped in the engulfing force's domain without any surprise.

Even seven or eight black specter shadows that had rushed from the eighth level were enveloped by the engulfing force. None of them could escape.

And Ran Yu, who was closest to Yi Yun, had previously summoned his Ranyi Fish bloodline. And now, with the engulfing vortex suddenly appearing, the Ranyi Fish bloodline was being locked onto by the vortex!

"What are you doing!?"

Ran Yu's body was about to reach the sixth level, but the lifeblood power that he had conjured was stuck on the seventh level.

Ran Yu stared with anger. The Luo clan disciples were barred from attacking each other during the training at Mt. Azure Billow. This was also why Ran Yu dared to do such a brazen act in front of Yi Yun.

But now, Yi Yun had directly made his move to use the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's bloodline suppression to stop the Ranyi Fish that he had conjured!

The Ranyi Fish phantom image was not a true Ancient Fey after all. Having been enveloped by the Ancient Fey aura, it immediately began to quiver. It could not even use thirty percent of its full strength, so it was unable to free itself from the binding of the engulfing force.

"Yi Yun! How you dare!? Are you flagrantly violating the rules of the training?" Ran Yu angrily boomed.

The Ranyi Fish phantom image was the coagulation of Ran Yu's bloodline essence!

To a Heaven Fey, their bloodline's concentration greatly reflected their potential and future achievements. In a Heaven Fey family, this was also one of the factors that determined how much resources were going to be invested in that person!

If any losses were suffered regarding the Ranyi Fish phantom image, Ran Yu would be eviscerated! It was nearly equivalent to chopping an arm of Ran Yu!

Yi Yun ignored Ran Yu's warning. Black gases rose up from his body, as though he was a demon god from returning from ancient times. In front of him, the energy vortex expanded in size. The Ranyi Fish that was awestruck by the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm bloodline was slowly being pulled towards Yi Yun!

"What is Yi Yun doing? Does he plan on devouring Ran Yu's Heaven Fey bloodline? If he does that, he is definitely violating of the rules of the training. Yi Yun will be punished!"

Many Luo clan disciples on the fourth and fifth levels in Black Wind Valley were taken aback. It was definitely unwise to challenge the rules of the Luo clan.

Ran Yu laughed in extreme anger. "Nice try, Yi Yun. To attack me in public, you are truly mad! Indeed, those who are not of the same kin are sure to be of a different heart. You will pay a terrible price for this!"

Upon saying this, Ran Yu suddenly looked up at Cang Mang, who was sitting high in the sky.

"Lord Cang Mang, Yi Yun is violating the rules of the collective training and he openly attacking me in a bid to destroy my bloodline. I think Yi Yun must be a spy from an alien race. According to the rules of the Luo clan, he should be crippled of his cultivation level!"

At that moment, Ran Yu's heart was burning with flames of anger. However, despite his complaints, Cang Mang remained motionless mid air.

Cang Mang frowned slightly, but he did not speak. If Yi Yun truly devoured Ran Yu's bloodline, it was obvious that he could not sit idle. Although a warrior's world was all about an eye for an eye, a rule was still a rule that could not violated.

At that moment, Yi Yun smiled and said, "Ran Yu, are you saying that I'm attacking you? When did I attack you? I'm just using engulfing laws to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. Is this a violation of the Luo clan's rules? I was using engulfing laws to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake, but your Ranyi Fish bloodline appeared in the range of my engulfing laws, and for that, you are blaming me?"

True Martial World - Chapter 850: Shimmering Dragon Scales

Yi Yun obviously noticed Ran Yu's sudden barge onto the seventh level. At that moment, there was a storm brewing on the seventh level, and it was the critical moment in Yi Yun's capturing of the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. Yet, Ran Yu had suddenly appeared, and the moment he landed, he charged straight at the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake!

"Oh?"

Yi Yun was caught by surprise. Was Ran Yu charging at the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake at that moment, an attempt to snatch the food from a tiger's jaws?

In Black Wind Valley, Yuan Qi was useless against black specters. It was a contest between bloodline and physique. In terms of Yuan Qi, Ran Yu had his Heaven Ascension realm cultivation level, but when it came to bloodline, he was no match for the Heaven Devouring Wyrm at all. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

In nearly a blink of an eye, Ran Yu had already rushed to the vicinity of the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. At that moment, people realized that his goal was not the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake, but the few black specter shadows that came from the eighth level to seventh level!

These black specter shadows were lusting for blood. They were summoned by the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake to deal with the Heaven Devouring Wyrm.

However, they were also astounded by the Heaven Devouring Wyrm and they did not dare to act rashly. Now, with Ran Yu charging at them, they opened up their jaws and bit at Ran Yu!

They shall swallow Ran Yu first!

Hu! Hu! Hu!

The black specter shadows charged forward together. Just as he was about to be surrounded by the black specters, Ran Yu's face revealed a crazed look.

Ha!

Ran Yu roared as the Ranyi Fish bloodline appeared behind him. The power of his lifeblood surged and it increased rapidly!

"That Ran Yu!"

Everyone was taken aback when they saw this scene. Although the black specter shadows were inferior to the black specter wyrm that dominated the seventh level, Ran Yu was still no match for them!

Just as people though Ran Yu was trying to make a desperate struggle to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake, Ran Yu suddenly retreated and he turned around to escape!

A few black specter shadows chased Ran Yu without letting up!

The Heaven Devouring Wyrm was not something that they could deal with, but the Ranyi fish bloodline conjured by Ran Yu was something that they coveted. If they could devour the Ranyi Fish bloodline, they would also enhance their strength.

Ran Yu flew very quickly. With the black specter wyrm slain by Yi Yun, the resistance on the seventh level had been greatly reduced. After Ran Yu ran a couple hundred feet, he suddenly turned and rushed towards Yi Yun!

Oh!?

Everyone came to a sudden realization as they understood Ran Yu's plans.

Ran Yu was trying to divert the danger!

Yi Yun was powerful, but his power actually came from the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm bloodline. As for Yi Yun's body? It was too weak!

Yi Yun had to depend on his Aspect Totems to even withstand the fourth and fifth level, let alone the seventh level.

Without the Heaven Devouring Wyrm bloodline, Yi Yun was nothing!

Previously, due to the threat of the Heaven Devouring Wyrm bloodline, the black specter shadows did not dare approach Yi Yun, and now, the Heaven Devouring Wyrm was in a battle with the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake, which meant Yi Yun was isolated!

Yi Yun's body itself was his greatest weakness!

"That Ran Yu is too despicable!" A Phoenix Firmiana State disciple said. Ran Yu did not have plans on profiteering from taking advantage of the situation, he wanted to add insult to injury!

It was too difficult for him to profiteer from taking advantage of the situation.

However, if he was there to cause damage, things would be much easier. As long as he caused Yi Yun severe injuries or even cause his death, the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm that Yi Yun controlled would lose its mobility and it would not put up the slightest threat!

Then, wouldn't Black Wind Valley be monopolized by Ran Yu and company? They could slowly capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake!

"What are you saying!? What do you mean despicable? That is the smartest strategy. A fundamental solution leveraging on the strength of others! Senior Brother Ran's move is directly striking at Yi Yun's weakness. Furthermore, Senior Brother Ran will not be directly attacking Yi Yun, so the rules of the trial aren't violated. It's the true character of a fierce and ambitious person! Yi Yun is doomed, hahaha!" Lie Ya's maniac laughter resounded.

Having seen Yi Yun ride the waves of success all this while, how could he not gloat when he finally saw Yi Yun getting into trouble?

In a split second, Ran Yu had already arrived in front of Yi Yun!

Yi Yun could clearly see the hideous grin on Ran Yu's lips.

Just as Ran Yu was about to turn and escape, Yi Yun had already guessed Ran Yu's intentions. By using the black specter shadows to kill him, he could avoid violating the rule of not attacking other disciples undertaking the trial. It was indeed the best method!

"Yi Yun, go to hell! If there is anything to blame, blame it on your body being too weak! Hahaha!" Ran Yu roared. He suddenly leaped when he was just a few meters away from Yi Yun. He leaped over Yi Yun!

"Junior Brother Yi!" Upon seeing this scene, Luo Fengling could not help but scream!

Yi Yun's mind turned solemn. His mental energy had been connected to the Heaven Devouring Wyrm at the moment that Ran Yu charged at him. As such, he let all the power of his lifeblood explode!

Boom!

The Heaven Devouring Wyrm shadow exploded into a ball of black smoke!

At the same time, the black specters that were following Ran Yu charged forward. They noticed Yi Yun and they did not have any intentions of dodging as he watched the rolling black winds. It was as though they could devour Yi Yun's lifeblood in an instant.

"Come!"

With a loud shout from Yi Yun —

Boom!

The black smoke that the Heaven Devouring Wyrm had exploded into burst across the air like a heavenly bridge. It was like a black waterfall falling from the sky as it charged straight into Yi Yun's body!

At that instant, Yi Yun's body issued crackling explosive sounds. The Heaven Devouring Wyrm's black smoke gathered on Yi Yun's body as it formed black scales that were rapidly duplicating themselves.

That was — Dragon scales!

Dragon scales began to appear on Yi Yun's cheeks as they began to cover his entire body.

Instantly, Yi Yun's body shimmered with a black divine glow. A rugged and powerful aura emanated out of Yi Yun's body. It was like a primordial desolate world was sealed in Yi Yun's body. And now, the world had been opened up. The aura of an Ancient Fey began to emanate out like a storm!

This is!?

All the Luo clan disciples in Black Wind Valley were left in shock!

The aura that emanated out of Yi Yun's body… made all their Fey race bloodlines resonate. It was like Yi Yun had become a Fey King from primordial times at that instant! They were shocked and distraught!

Could it be that… Yi Yun had fused with the Ancient Fey bloodline!?

Everyone stared with widened eyes as they had looks of disbelief.

After summoning the Fey race bloodline and then fusing with the bloodline was not uncommon. Previously, Luo Tian had done the same, but Luo Tian's fusion was with a Heaven Fey bloodline Yi Yun was fusing with an Ancient Fey bloodline!

After Luo Tian's fusion, his body revealed the characteristics of a gigantic demon ape. But for Yi Yun, his body was covered in dragon scales after his fusion!

"Break!"

Seeing the black specters rushing at him, Yi Yun bellowed and he suddenly punched out!

The power of that punch seemed like it was a divine mountain compressed into a tiny package. The void trembled slightly as the black specters in front of Yi Yun were torn apart by Yi Yun's single punch! Large amounts of black mist exploded, forming a black shockwave that blew out in every direction!

The handful of black specter shadows that came from the eighth level were slain by a single punch from Yi Yun!

Upon seeing this scene, the Luo clan disciples present could not help but gape their mouths, and they had trouble closing them.

Just now… wasn't it said that Yi Yun's body was very weak?

True Martial World - Chapter 849: Capturing the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake

"It's the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. It has appeared again!'

With Yi Yun causing quite an impressive stir, the Luo clan disciples present were paying a great deal of attention to what was happening on the seventh level. Some of them even ignored their cultivation.

The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake that suddenly appeared did not escape their eyes. Furthermore, the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake had a special aura, so it was difficult not to notice it.

The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was the most important opportunity of the Black Wind Valley trial. Who didn't want it? And now, they saw Yi Yun stand up. He was about to make his move on the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake!

"Yi Yun is trying to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. Lord Cang Mang had intended to pose a difficult problem for Luo Tian, Gu Luo and Ran Yu, but now, Yi Yun alone might be able to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake."

"I think it's almost in the bag. The most difficult obstacle was the black specter wyrm and it has already been torn apart and consumed by Yi Yun and the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm. Even the wyrm was eaten, so it shouldn't be difficult to eat a tiny snake, right!? I wonder what Ran Yu and company are thinking. It seems like it has nothing to do with them anymore… "

The Luo clan disciples present discussed as some of them could not help but cast their gazes at Ran Yu.

Naturally, Ran Yu also heard their conversations. His face went blue. The saying of accompanying the Crown Prince in studies — an outsider in a competition with no possible hope of winning — was relevant to Ran Yu back in the Fire Cloud State. Back then, he was the ‘Crown Prince’, with people accompanying him in his studies. But when did it become his turn to accompany others in studies, making him have no possible hope of winning?

The Mt. Azure Billow training was a torment for Ran Yu.

At that moment, Yi Yun moved. Against the layers of black mist, and the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake within it, a rugged and powerful dragon's roar came from Yi Yun’s chest.

"Ang!"

A single-horned wyrm rushed out from behind Yi Yun and it pounced straight at the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. Yi Yun had conjured the Heaven Devouring Wyrm phantom image once again!

The Heaven Devouring Wyrm was an ancient mighty Fey. Its appearance and surging Ancient Fey aura were detected by the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake.

The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was a spirit of the seventh level of the Black Wind Valley. It sensed a threat, and with a sharp sound, it transformed into a stream of light, drilling deep into the black mist!

The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was extremely fast. Although the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's bloodline was powerful, in terms of speed, it was inferior to the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. This was also mainly the reason why the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was so hard to deal with. It was located on the seventh level of Black Wind Valley, where danger lurked everywhere. With its astounding speed, trying to capture it was very, very difficult!

Noticing that the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was about to disappear into the deep depths of the black mist, the Heaven Devouring Wyrm opened its mouth —

Heaven devouring!

"Wu Wu Wu… "

A large black vortex appeared in its mouth as the surrounding black mist was sucked towards it!

90% of the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's engulfing law was afflicted on the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. Instantly, the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake's speed was greatly reduced.

"Hiss– "

The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake issued a sharp shrill. It was so sharp that it was like an arrow had shot right into one's eardrums. Even the cultivators on the fourth and fifth levels of Black Wind Valley could not help but cover their ears when they heard it.

However, regardless of how much the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake hissed, it was unable to free itself from the suction of the Heaven Devouring Wyrm!

The Ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm was known to be able to devour an entire world. Its engulfing law was top amongst the Ancient Fey. Furthermore, with the difference in life's natural order, the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake could not withstand it any longer!

Not only could the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake not fly deep into the black mist, it was bound by the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's engulfing powers. It was being pulled bit by bit to the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's mouth!

When they saw this, the people were secretly horrified. They knew that the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was not easy to deal with. It had once penetrated Gu Luo's palm, and with its unparalleled speed, even without the black specter wyrm on the seventh level, it was still not easy to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake.

The Heaven Devouring Wyrm lived up to its name. It was a true ancient mighty fey. Just its phantom image alone was already terrifying!

"Hiss– "

The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake hissed crazily as its body turned redder and redder, as though channels of blood began to emanate across the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake's body.

Oh?

Yi Yun's mind was connected to the Heaven Devouring Wyrm. He suddenly sensed that the small Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was undergoing some kind of change. Its body was slowly accumulating energy, and its red body seemed to emanate a special smell.

And at that moment, a few black specter shadows seemed to be attracted by this smell and they began to approach the seventh level from the eighth level of Black Wind Valley.

Upon seeing this, Yi Yun knitted his brows. The black specter shadows that came from the eighth to the seventh floor were most likely the weaker ones from the eighth level. In terms of strength, they were likely no match for the black specter wyrm that had dominated the seventh level alone. If this was any other time, they would have been fodder for the Heaven Devouring Wyrm.

However, at this point, with changes in variable, it made Yi Yun's heart sink.

He had to finish it as soon as possible!

"Dragon Tail!" Yi Yun bellowed.

The Heaven Devouring Wyrm let out a low growl as its body charged out suddenly, and its gigantic dragon tail swept downwards!

"Boom!"

Like the collapse of a mountain, the extremely heavy dragon tail slammed into the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake's body. The snake obviously could not withstand such a strike. Its body quivered as some of its scales broke apart with blood spurting out of the wounds.

As for the black specter shadows that came from the eighth level, they were stunned by the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's attack. They did not dare to attack momentarily.

The ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm was just too powerful. It was a true Ancient Fey after all. Its aura gave pressure from the difference in life's natural order to the black specters that were condensed from Black Wind Valley's lifeblood.

From the looks of it, the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake's final struggle had been ruthlessly crushed by the Heaven Devouring Wyrm. If this went on, the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was definitely Yi Yun's!

The Luo clan disciples on the fourth and fifth levels were extremely jealous seeing this scene. As for Ran Yu, who was on the sixth level, he looked livid as a beam flashed in his eyes.

Ran Yu knew very well that if this continued, all the benefits in Black Wind Valley would be Yi Yun's.

Riches were obtained from taking risk. On the seventh level of Black Wind Valley, it appeared as though the Heaven Devouring Wyrm had brought the situation under control, but in fact, the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was still struggling incessantly. There were several black specter shadows from the eighth level watching on with covetous looks. A tip of the scales would decide the true winner!

Upon thinking about this, a wicked look flashed in Ran Yu's eyes. He leaped down from the sixth level to the seventh level.

"Oh? Ran Yu?"

People were surprised seeing the turn in events. Black Wind Valley's battle was a competition of bloodline. Ran Yu's Ranyi Fish bloodline was much weaker than the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm. There was no way for him to intervene in the battle on the seventh level. Ran Yu was no match for even the weakest black specter shadows from the eighth level.

"What's Ran Yu going down for? He can't beat those black specters, and he can't attack Yi Yun or he would violate the rules of the trial."

Everyone stared with widened eyes, afraid of missing this scene. Ran Yu's sudden appearance opened up a new variable in what was a decided situation.

True Martial World - Chapter 848: Devouring the Black Specter Wyrm

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm and the black specter shadow snapped their jaws at each other. The battle between the two wyrms caused turmoil on the seventh level, and everywhere their bodies passed, rocks were shattered, with the black mist quickly filling the void left behind!

The ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm was extremely terrifying. It had a smoke-like body, but it contained tremendous amounts of power. Its every strike could invoke the powers of the Heaven and Earth, as though the source of Heaven and Earth energy was wherever the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm was!

"Clang!"

The ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm bit at the black wyrm, issuing the sound of metal being hit. The black wyrm grimaced in pain, as one of its claws was ripped off!

Dragon scales and dragon blood was splattered everywhere. The black wyrm roared fiercely, but it no longer had the strength to battle the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm. Hence, ignoring its injuries, it tried escaping deeper into Black Wind Valley!

"Don't you leave!"

Yi Yun's eyes flickered. Although the black wyrm was a fake wyrm, it was the embodiment of a large amount of black-misted energy essence on the seventh level of Black Wind Valley. Be it for the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm or himself, it was a great supplement.

"Stay behind!" With a thought from Yi Yun...

"Boom!"

The ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm's tail swept down like a heavenly pillar that collapsed. It struck the black wyrm's back heavily.

"Ka-cha!"

The sound of joints breaking resounded like thunder. The black wyrm's back had been fractured by the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm's tail strike!

The ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm looked like smoke, but it was able to crush mountains, that was the proof of its heaviness. With it striking down like that, it was like a divine mountain crushing down on the black wyrm’s back. There was no way for the black dragon to withstand it!

Suck!

The ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm opened its jaws and a black vortex appeared in its mouth once again. This black vortex distorted space, and the surrounding black mist was all sucked towards it!

Heaven devouring laws!

The legendary true ancient fey was able to devour an entire world. Hence it's name, Heaven Devouring Wyrm!

No one knew if the legends were true. But now, the Heaven Devouring Wyrm phantom image that Yi Yun conjured was more than enough to devour the black wyrm.

The black wyrm struggled with all its strength, but it was completely meaningless. It was eventually devoured by the Heaven Devouring Wyrm.

Roar—

After devouring the black wyrm, the Heaven Devouring Wyrm let out a satisfied growl.

The black wyrm was completely digested into essence energy to replenish itself. As a result, its fuzzy body also became slightly more corporeal.

And far behind the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm, Yi Yun suddenly felt his blood vessels go into turmoil. His body felt like it was a drum being hit, as it issued explosives sounds!

The black wyrm's essence energy had mostly been absorbed by the Heaven Devouring Wyrm, but there were still some portions that were injected into Yi Yun's body.

The violent force surged into Yi Yun's meridians and it moved around crazily.

Yi Yun's meridians had been widened several times after he absorbed the Ancient Fey bone. Furthermore, their resilience was far stronger than before. If not, just the surging of the energy through his meridians would be something that Yi Yun's meridians could not withstand. He would have needed to use the Purple Crystal to suppress the energy.

How could the pleasure derived from the energy’s forceful impacts and cleansing of his body be compared to absorbing the energy from the Purple Crystal stores?

"It feels great!" Yi Yun shouted out loud as he clenched his fists.

He felt as though all his energy was filled with inexhaustible energy. The energy was like a roaring tsunami, that swept across wave after wave in an incessant manner!

"Yi Yun… he devoured the black wyrm on the seventh level!"

Seeing Yi Yun's aura change and the lifeblood stirring in his body, all the Luo clan disciples present could only stare helplessly.

They had seen how powerful the black wyrm was, but now, it had been devoured. Although it was mainly devoured by the Heaven Devouring Wyrm, as its master, Yi Yun benefited greatly from it. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

At that moment, the Fire Cloud State and Phoenix Firmiana State disciples were filled with jealousy and envy. At the same Black Wind Valley trial, they could only drink a figurative soup, while Yi Yun had managed to eat all the figurative meat!

After devouring the black wyrm, Yi Yun began to meditate on the seventh level and he began to refine the black wyrm's power!

And some of the energy had been distributed to his two Aspect Totems — the Nine Neonate and three-legged Golden Crow, allowing them to begin to recover from their injuries.

They were not seriously injured, so it was very easy for them to recover.

With that, Yi Yun began to cultivate on the seventh level of Black Wind Valley.

This was cultivation on the seventh level of Black Wind Valley. People had previously believed that Yi Yun's body was weak, so it would be pretty good if he could find his footing on the fifth level and be able to probe the sixth level for short periods of time. But now, Yi Yun had found his footing on the seventh level, and he was leisurely cultivating.

And most ironical of all was that they had guessed correctly. Yi Yun's body was indeed not powerful enough, but his bloodline was heaven-defying. So what if his body wasn't strong enough? Yi Yun did not even need to use his body to withstand the black specter shadow. Just his bloodline alone was enough!

At that moment, Luo Tian was still opposite Yi Yun. He felt like he was a stake erected on the seventh level and he was extremely embarrassed.

He seemed to be an indomitable force and the center of attention, but now, he did not even know what he should do.

"How was Yi Yun able to absorb the Ancient Fey bone to such a degree?"

Luo Tian was left in wonder. Yi Yun, a human, was even better than the geniuses at the Luo clan's royal capital after absorbing an Ancient Fey bone.

At Black Wind Valley, they depended on stimulating their Heaven Fey bloodline to withstand the black mist, while Yi Yun had stimulated an Ancient Fey bloodline. How could they even compete with that? This was already on two disparate levels!

Luo Tian found it excruciating to stay on in the seventh level, so he dejectedly returned to the sixth level.

And at that moment, the seventh level was beginning to produce more black specter lifeforms.

These black specter surged from all directions to the seventh level to occupy it.

Previously, the black specter wyrm had occupied the entire seventh level. And probably because it was too powerful, it had demarcated its own territory.

And now, with an increase in the number of black specter shadows, it became chaotic. However, these black specters did not dare to approach Yi Yun. They had previously seen how the black wyrm, which was much more powerful than them, had been devoured by Yi Yun and the Heaven Devouring Wyrm. They wouldn't be silly enough to serve themselves up as food!

In time, Yi Yun began to casually sit down on the seventh level, with no black specter shadow daring to mess with him.

As time passed, the black wyrm's essence in Yi Yun's body was mostly digested. And at that moment —

Whew!

A bright red beam flashed in the thick depths of the black mist. It was like an agile fish that was swimming and twirling quickly in the black mist!

Yi Yun, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes as he looked at the red beam hidden in the black mist.

Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake!

Compared to the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake, the black wyrm was worth nothing!

If he could capture the intermediary spirit blood snake, his body would improve once again! Furthermore, his energy cultivation was directly tied to his body. Yi Yun's overall strength would undoubtedly make a quantum leap!

Yi Yun took a deep breath and he slowly stood up.

True Martial World - Chapter 847: The Growl From Ancient Times

Back at the sixth level, Yi Yun's Aspect Totems were slightly injured and he had yet to establish a firm footing!

People believed that even if Yi Yun would cooperate with Ran Yu, he would take at least a week or so in the sixth level to find his footing by familiarizing himself fully with the black mist. After his body's lifeblood was strengthened, then he would dare enter the seventh level. But for him to enter just like that, was he mad!?

Ran Yu had nearly gone berserk because of Yi Yun's words, but with Yi Yun immediately leaping downwards, he was also left stunned.

He subconsciously took a few steps to chase after him, but he witnessed Yi Yun's figure submerging into the black mist and landing on the seventh level's bedrock.

At that moment, Luo Tian was also on the seventh level. He looked incredulously at Yi Yun's arrival.

Why did this punk come down?

In front of Luo Tian, the black dragon had rapidly recovered. It was mostly done with its recovery, and it was planning on charging at Luo Tian and devouring the Fey with a Gigantic Demon Ape bloodline. However, it never expected that a human would suddenly come down.

From the looks of it, this human was much weaker than the Fey with the Gigantic Demon Ape bloodline.

The black specter shadows in Black Wind Valley would always start off with the weaker ones. Thus, the black dragon roared and charged at Yi Yun!

It seemed bent on swallowing Yi Yun first to recover itself to its peak state before it would slowly deal with Luo Tian.

This scene made all the cultivators in Black Wind Valley perk up. The black specter wyrm had finally reached Yi Yun and they wanted to see how Yi Yun was going to block it!

Every Luo clan disciples stared with widened eyes, afraid of missing the next scene. They knew that Yi Yun's physical strength was lacking, but they were also skeptical that Yi Yun would send himself to his death.

As the black dragon pounced on him, the Demon gases rolled as an overwhelming pressure could be felt!

"Xiao!"

"Roar——"

From behind Yi Yun, the three-legged Golden Crow and the Nine Neonate Aspect Totems charged out together!

The three-legged Golden Crow spread its wings. Its wingspan was dozens of meters wide and it wrapped around Yi Yun like a golden fire wall! The Golden Crow's body was like an intense inferno as rolling waves of blood surged over!

As for the black specter wyrm, it was even fiercer. It soared into the air and lashed its tail out like a whip, striking the three-legged Golden Crow's body!

"Boom!"

An explosion that sounded like the rupturing of mountains and rivers could be heard. The three-legged Golden Crow shrieked as its body was sent flying by the black specter wyrm's tail!

The black specter wyrm was indeed terrifying. The three-legged Golden Crow was no match for it!

However, after the three-legged Golden Crow was struck by the dragon's tail, it had also clawed at the dragon's tail. The dragon tail, which was a manifestation of black gas, was injured with three scratches from the Golden Crow. It even began to bleed black blood.

The wyrm that was a manifestation of the black gas could actually bleed?

At that moment, no one bothered considering this. They saw that after the black dragon repelled the Golden Crow, it charged at the Nine Neonate!

The Nine Neonate howled as it leaped up and it engaged with the black specter wyrm in an intense battle mid-air!

Instantly, black winds howled as it radiated in all directions!

The nine snake heads were fighting against a single wyrm. However, the Nine Neonate was completely suppressed by the wyrm!

The wyrm's defenses were terrifying. The nine heads of the Nine Neonate bit on it, but they could not break its defenses!

Ka Ka Ka!

The wyrm coiled its body around the Nine Neonate. Its immense body wrangled around the Nine Neonate's nine heads. It was trying to strangle the Nine Neonate to death!

No one doubted the wyrm's power from the terror it revealed.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!"

A series of explosions could be heard from the Nine Neonate totem's body. Its projection started to flicker and dim, as though the Nine Neonate was truly about to be strangled to death by the black wyrm.

Once the Nine Neonate was utterly defeated by the black wyrm, its master, Yi Yun, would also be inflicted with serious injuries. It would take him a long period of time to reconstruct the Nine Neonate totem. And this was on the premise that Yi Yun was able to safely escape from the clutches of the black wyrm. However, how could the black wyrm give Yi Yun such a chance?

Upon seeing this scene, Ran Yu roared with laughter.

"What a retard. I was wondering how powerful you are. To dare to shamelessly call me a loser. Now, you are just courting death by jumping onto the seventh level! The Nine Neonate is destroyed and the three-legged Golden Crow is seriously injured. By losing the Nine Neonate and the Golden Crow totems, you are like a tiger that has lost its fangs. How can that weak body of yours withstand the black wyrm!? If you die in Black Wind Valley, your corpse will be devoured and you will be completely annihilated. Haha!"

Previously, Ran Yu had been mocked by Yi Yun without appreciating the favor he had shown him and he was already fuming like a volcano. Now, seeing that Yi Yun was about to be devoured by the black dragon, he could no longer maintain his usually mild-mannered appearance and he said those nasty words.

Indeed, in the opinion of the Luo clan disciples, Yi Yun had relied on his Aspect Totem to land in the seventh level. Once he lost his Aspect Totems, Yi Yun's physical strength was something completely trivial!

Even Luo Tian and Gu Luo's bodies would be quickly devoured by the monsters on the seventh level, what more Yi Yun.

"Roar! Roar!"

The Nine Neonate issued an angry roar. The black wyrm opened its jaws and it was about to snap through the Nine Neonate's neck. It would then devour the Nine Neonate before devouring Yi Yun. That was what would all happen in an instant.

But at that instant, an indescribable deep growl suddenly came from inside Yi Yun's body.

This sound was very soft to begin with, but it gradually became louder.

It was rugged and powerful, as though it came from the ancient times after traversing the long rivers of time.

The growl was mysterious and deep. It easily pierced through the barriers in Black Wind Valley and echoed everywhere, reaching everyone's ears.

This sound seemed to have a strange magical effect. It was not as ear-splitting as Luo Tian's ancient Gigantic Demon Ape's roar, but it seemed to resound in everyone’s hearts. It resonated with their bloodlines, which was an alarming feeling!

A large number of Luo clan disciples were puzzled, but someone suddenly thought of something as his expression changed drastically!

At that moment, a plume of black smoke emerged from behind Yi Yun. The black smoke was sparse and faint, but what was unbelievable was that after the black smoke floated out, it began to subtly distort space!

This was the spatial dimension of the 12 Empyrean Heavens, so how could it be distorted by a plume of black smoke?

Besides, this black smoke was generating a strong resonance with the Luo clan disciples' blood! Some of them even found themselves having difficulty breathing. And the weaker their bloodlines were, the resonance and discomfort would become more intense. Some of the weaker ones even had the feeling of kneeling on the ground and prostrating themselves to Yi Yun, or to put it more accurately, the black smoke.

Even Cang Mang, who was seating mid air, stood up at that moment. His eyes that were like a deep pool of water flickered. He quietly looked at the plume of black smoke behind Yi Yun, unable to comprehend how such an inconceivable matter could happen.

He had determined that despite the plume of black smoke looking very thin, it was actually very heavy. The plume of black smoke was enough to crush mountains!

"It's indeed that feeling!" Suddenly, someone shouted amidst the crowd.

"Ancient Fey, it's the appearance of an ancient mighty Fey! It's not those Heaven Fey with thin bloodlines who summon fake Ancient Fey phantom images through their own bloodlines. It is the true apparition of the mighty Fey from ancient times. Even if it has 1% of the ancient mighty Fey's power, it is still a true Ancient Fey!"

This sudden voice immediately gave many people a shock.

What? Ancient Fey!?

What is this joke!?

Everyone turned to look at the Luo clan disciple that spoke.

That person was from the Phoenix Firmiana State. He was originally from an ancient Heaven Fey family clan. At his family ceremonies where they paid their respects to the family clan's ancestors, there would be rare occasions when their ancestor would take up form during the ceremony. And at that moment, the feeling that the ancestor gave was identical to the black smoke behind Yi Yun!

And at that moment, there was no need to say anything else, as they could see the scene with their own eyes.

This scene made all the Luo clan disciples present gape their mouths in shock, as they were rendered speechless.

They saw the faint black smoke that emerged behind Yi Yun slowly take the form of a fuzzy wyrm head!

Be it the Gigantic Demon Ape bloodline phantom image that Luo Tian conjured, the Ranyi Fish bloodline phantom that image Ran Yu conjured, or even the two Aspect Totems that Yi Yun summoned himself, this phantom image condensed from black smoke was just too unrealistic.

All the phantom images from before were extremely realistic, as though a real Ancient Fey had appeared? But this phantom image was so fuzzy that it was difficult to perceive.

But they still managed to make it out.

This black-misted phantom image had taken the form of an ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm!

Ancient Fey? A true Ancient Fey!?

No other race knew better than the Fey race about the meaning behind these two words.

Although the Luo clan disciples present would always have the words Ancient Fey bloodline hang from the corner of their mouths all the time, and would frequently summon their Ancient Fey bloodline to offer sacrifices to their Ancient Fey ancestors in rituals, not a single one of them had ever seen Ancient Fey!

Heaven Fey family clans had been passed down for eons. Whatever bloodline they had was thinned out, which was also the reason for why it was difficult for the Heaven Fey to awaken their ancient bloodline.

The Ancient Fey were living beings born at the birth of the Universe billions of years ago. Their bodies were existences that were naturally condensed by Heavenly Dao laws.

Although there were a myriad of Ancient Fey, every kind was extremely limited in number! Some extremely special Ancient Fey species might only have one Fey in the entire Universe. Some Ancient Fey species were greater in number, but they were still a handful. Usually, only the death of one would give birth to a new one!

Up to this day, due to a variety of reasons, the numbers of Ancient Fey were dwindling in number. This accentuated the rarity of Ancient Fey!

Under this situation, a true Ancient Fey phantom image emerged behind Yi Yun. Even though the phantom image was extremely fuzzy and thin, the shock it gave everyone was a thousand times more intense than Luo Tian's conjuring of the Ancient Gigantic Demon Ape!

"Ancient Fey… a true Ancient Fey? He only absorbed the Ancient Fey bone for four days, how can he conjure the Ancient Fey phantom image?"

On the sixth level of Black Wind Valley, Ran Yu was feeling extremely agitated.

He knew very well that the Ancient Fey bone that Yi Yun had previously consumed was the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's bone.

But just absorbing an Ancient Fey bone allowed him to conjure an Ancient Fey phantom image?

Although Ancient Fey bones were extremely valuable, there were geniuses in the entire Luo clan that would receive Ancient Fey bones as rewards. After all, an Ancient Fey was large in size. Ancient Fey with bodies five hundred kilometers long were not uncommon! Although Ancient Fey were rare, an Ancient Fey would leave behind a large number of bones after its death!

However, it was unheard of that any of these Luo clan geniuses who absorbed the Ancient Fey bone were able to conjure an Ancient Fey phantom image from absorbing a piece of Ancient Fey bone once!

Ran Yu found it unbelievable. Similarly, Luo Tian could not accept it either. At that moment, he was still maintaining his ancient Gigantic Demon Ape form, but when he saw the Ancient Fey phantom image that Yi Yun had conjured, he felt that his own bloodline was resonating with it, as though it would be drawn out by the Ancient Fey phantom image. Clearly, the Gigantic Demon Ape bloodline that he was proud of was far inferior to that faint black smoke behind Yi Yun!

This was too great a blow to them. Amongst the Luo clan disciples present, there were quite a few who were proud of their family history, flaunting their Ancient Fey ancestors' bloodline. They had despised Yi Yun because of his identity as a human, but the resulting outcome was that the human, Yi Yun, had conjured what they viewed as their ancestor, the Ancient Fey, that they worshiped at ritual ceremonies. And they as so-called progeny of the Ancient Fey had been abandoned! How could anyone accept that!?

However, at that moment on the seventh level of Black Wind Valley, the black specter shadow's reaction made all the Luo clan disciples present have an ugly expression on their faces.

They saw that the black specter wyrm looked afraid!

It had already dislodged itself from the Nine Neonate, and it faced the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm image like it was facing a nemesis.

For an existence like the black specter, it was condensed spontaneously by the black mist over eons. Its perception of Ancient Fey was a natural instinct, so it was able to more accurately sense one than the Luo clan disciples present!

With the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm image appearing, it felt a deep sense of apprehension!

Although it was also a wyrm, and the Heaven Devouring Wyrm was also a wyrm, they were two lifeforms that were on two separate levels on life's natural order.

The black specter shadow only took the form of a wyrm. It could even take the form of Extreme Yang Illumination, let alone a wyrm, but it would be useless!

This was the difference between a true wyrm and a fake wyrm.

At that moment, the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm roared and it charged at the black specter!

The moment that this ancient Fey beast, that had not stirred for billions of years, had awoken, it was the arrival of a raging storm!

Hu! Hu! Hu!

A strong wind blew from every direction as the sky changed color!

In the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's mouth, a giant vortex appeared. All the black gases and black mist were swept into the vortex!

The Luo clan disciples, who were on the fourth and fifth level of Black Wind Valley, could feel the dreadful suction force of this vortex.

Their expressions changed as they activated the power of their bloodline to withstand it.

This is...

Heaven devouring!?

The two words ‘Heaven Devouring’ was a description of the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's laws that it had sublimed. Heaven Devouring was a terrifying engulfing law!

Such a terrifying suction force swept everywhere, as though a black hole had appeared out of nowhere in the the seventh level of Black Wind Valley. Large amounts of black gas were devoured by the Heaven Devouring Wyrm, but its phantom image form remained the same. It did not seem to become any more corporeal.

However, Yi Yun, who had conjured the Heaven Devouring Wyrm, had obtained a huge benefit!

Yi Yun had little lifeblood power left in his body. Just conjuring the Ancient Fey phantom image alone had drawn out all of the lifeblood power stored in his body from before!

This lifeblood power was gathered using the Nine Neonate and three-legged Golden Crow previously. If not, it was impossible for him to handle the conjuring of the Heaven Devouring Wyrm phantom image!

But now, the Heaven Devouring Wyrm was devouring the black mist like a maniac, which was greatly nourishing for Yi Yun!

Yi Yun felt that his emptied out lifeblood was increasing rapidly in a short period of time, and soon, it was filled to the brim. Next, the lifeblood was forcefully merged into his flesh and blood, as his body began to reforge itself!

Yi Yun's bodily strength was indeed lacking.

Although he had used the Purple Crystal to absorb the Ancient Fey bone, allowing his body to be injected with the Heaven Devouring Wyrm’s bloodline, which allowed him to conjure the Heaven Devouring Wyrm phantom image, Yi Yun's actual physique was just too weak.

If Yi Yun's body could become more powerful, there would be innumerable benefits that would follow!

At that moment, the ancient Heaven Devouring Wyrm had roared once and started flying at the black specter shadow!

Although the black specter shadow feared the Heaven Devouring Wyrm, it could not sit idle when facing a life and death crisis. It roared and charged at the Heaven Devouring Wyrm!

It wanted to put up a desperate fight!

However, the differences were just too great. It was a difference in life's natural order, resulting in the black specter shadow being unable to use more than 20% of its power!

"Chi La!"

The Heaven Devouring Wyrm bit down and snapped off a large chunk of flesh and blood from the black specter shadow. Immediately following that, its tail whipped at the black specter, causing wind and clouds to stir, as the black specter's began to violently shake.

As for that piece of flesh and blood, it was directly swallowed into the Heaven Devouring Wyrm's stomach, and digested to become a part of its lifeblood's power.

Upon seeing this scene, the Luo clan disciples felt a chill rise up from the soles of their feet. The Heaven Devouring Wyrm had managed to directly devour a portion of the black specter!

"Yi Yun… Yi Yun went down Black Wind Valley, but until the very end, he has yet to use the power of his body. From the beginning, he used his Aspect Totem, and now, he's using… the power of the Ancient Fey's bloodline… " A Heaven Fey disciple from the Phoenix Firmiana State said. As he spoke, his Adam's apple was twitching.

As they were sure that Yi Yun's physical strength was lacking, many of them were waiting for Yi Yun to suffer when his Aspect Totems could no longer sustain the barrage of attacks. After all, Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was basically useless in Black Wind Valley.

But now, despite his Aspect Totem being unable to sustain the attacks any longer, Yi Yun still did not use his body. He had summoned a more terrifying Ancient Fey bloodline power to replace the Aspect Totems!

The Black Wind Valley was a test of the Fey race's bloodline. The Fey race bloodline was always something that the Fey race was proud of. But what other bloodline could be more noble and valuable than a true Ancient Fey's bloodline?

Compared to Yi Yun's Ancient Fey bloodline, their tiny bit of Fey bloodline became jokes.

True Martial World - Chapter 846: Who do you think you are

Oh? Cooperate?

Yi Yun was somewhat stunned. He looked at Ran Yu, as though he had met him for the first time.

"What did you just call me?"

Yi Yun found it amusing. This was the first time he heard Ran Yu address him so formally as ‘Junior Brother Yi’.

Noticing how Yi Yun did not answer him and instead replied with a hint of sarcasm, Ran Yu frowned. He was a genius from the Xushui Ran clan. He had set aside his differences to ask for Yi Yun's cooperation and he was planning on giving Yi Yun sufficient benefits in exchange, but Yi Yun's response appeared like he did not know any better.

However, with a nemesis like Luo Tian, Ran Yu remained patient as he said, "Junior Brother Yi, I know you are upset with me, but this isn't the time to being tangled in these. Cooperate with me. You will be responsible for handling the black dragon, while I will capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. As long as you can last for about half a minute, I will most likely be able to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. When the time comes, I will definitely pay Junior Brother Yi ample remunerations!"

By saying this, Ran Yu did not conceal his thoughts. Many of the disciples in Black Wind Valley heard it.

Letting Yi Yun impede the black dragon, while Ran Yu captured the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake?

Ran Yu was being nefarious! Although Yi Yun could find his footing on the sixth level, his Aspect Totems were slightly injured. Getting Yi Yun to impede the black dragon was life-threatening! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

And reading between the lines, Ran Yu was not planning on dividing the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake with Yi Yun. This was reasonable. There was no way to split a treasure of that level. It was basically something that could only be earned by one person.

"Ample remuneration?" Yi Yun laughed. "Senior Brother Ran, you seem to be mistaken. I'm not upset with you, it's you who has been targeting me all this time."

"I can't be bothered with all these lame matters, but now… Your plan sure is delightful. Letting me do things like restraining the black dragon while you are responsible for capturing the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake. I presume that the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake will be yours when the time comes, as for the remuneration you will give me, what would it be? Let me guess… Are they World Stones?"

Yi Yun's words were still filled with sarcasm, making Ran Yu's expression turn somewhat ugly. "Yi Yun, the remuneration that I will give will certainly be to your satisfaction. My Xushui Ran clan is a large establishment and it has heritage that you can't even imagine. Will it even skim on your remuneration? The opportunities given to you by the Xushui Ran clan will allow your cultivation level to make a huge leap!"

"Furthermore! If you were to help me this time, it is equivalent to helping the Xushui Ran clan. I, Ran Yu, will also owe you one. In the future, as long as you encounter any trouble in the Luo clan, the Xushui Ran clan will also help you. There's no need for me to elaborate further on being able to cling onto a large faction, right?"

Ran Yu used his family background as bait. The Xushui Ran clan was one of the few large family clans in the Luo clan!

With Ran Yu saying this, many people looked at Yi Yun.

In cultivation, warriors needed to pay attention to networking. Being alone resulted in receiving very few resources. It was easy to suffer a lot while training outside, and they might even end up dying. A smart person would seize the opportunity to cling to a large clan!

For a person like Lie Ya, he hankered for the chance to cling onto the Xushui Ran clan, but Ran Yu had never given him such a chance!

Lie Ya was a mixed Fey, a hybrid of Heaven and Earth Fey. Although his family clan's power was pretty good, it was far weaker than the Xushui Ran clan. If not, Lie Ya would not have felt the pinch for the over one hundred World Stones that he owed to the point of vomiting blood.

Seeing that Yi Yun had such an opportunity, even Lie Ya began to turn envious for Yi Yun.

At that moment, Yi Yun suddenly laughed. The Xushui Ran clan was a large family clan, but unfortunately, he did not think too highly of it. Yi Yun's sights were very high. How could the Xushui Ran clan have the qualifications for him to cling on to?

Yi Yun did not say those words out. He knew very well that with his present cultivation level, he was just a trivial ant in front of the Xushui Ran clan. If he said those words out loud, he would only win the derision of others.

Although Yi Yun did not say it out, Ran Yu could figure out a bit of Yi Yun's thoughts from his expression.

"Yi Yun, do you think you will truly skyrocket at the Luo Divine Hall trials? You are too naive. With your performance at the Ancient Fey Edifice, it is just satisfactory in the eyes of the Luo clan royalty. But that is antecedent on you having a powerful bloodline. You just managed to find your footing on the sixth level of Black Wind Valley, so to the Luo clan royalty, who values Ancient Fey bloodlines, they would not even give you a second look. Do you think that you would be valued by the royal family? You are still far from that!"

"Now, with my Xushui clan soliciting you, you even looked down on my Xushui Ran clan!? Don’t you have an exaggerated opinion of your own abilities!?"

Ran Yu was furious. However, what he said sounded reasonable to most people. The Xushui Ran clan was a large family clan. There were a few similar family clans in the Luo clan. However, a young genius like Yi Yun was worthless. The Luo clan had 196 states. It had plenty of geniuses, and batch after batch were produced every century. These geniuses might not even fully mature before their death!

Yi Yun laughed. "The Xushui Ran clan is big, but who do you think you are in the Xushui Ran clan? You are just a scion in the family clan at best. You can't even enter the seventh level of Black Wind Valley, so I guess you don't amount to much in your family clan. If not, you would have already been in the royal capital."

Yi Yun's words had hit Ran Yu's soft spot!

Ran Yu went livid immediately. There was a hint of coldness in his gaze as he said, "Human punk, I lowered my status today to speak to you nicely, but you have scorned me time and time again. You have only managed to use tricks of your energy cultivation and Aspect Totem to stand here on the sixth level. Without your Aspect Totem, you would find it hard to even stand on the second level! You aren't worthy to mock me!"

"I'm asking you one last time. Do you choose to cooperate with me!?"

Ran Yu stared at Yi Yun as he minced his words. No one suspected that Ran Yu's last sentence were not containing a threat.

Ran Yu was from the Xushui Ran clan after all. If he wanted to do harm to Yi Yun, with Yi Yun's low cultivation level, he was bound to suffer!

Between the carrot and the stick, the Luo clan disciples present believed that if they were placed in Yi Yun's shoes, they would likely have already agreed.

They wanted to see how Yi Yun would reply. However, what Yi Yun said next nearly made them bite off their tongues.

Yi Yun glanced at Ran Yu and said with a sneer, "Even if I need to cooperate with others in the future, I will not cooperate with a loser. With you coming along, other than being an additional burden, I guess you won't be able to play much of a role."

What!?

All the Luo clan disciples disciples present were immediately dumbfounded.

Was Yi Yun mad? He actually called Ran Yu a loser? To scold him in public like that, wasn't he completely offending Ran Yu!?

Furthermore, Yi Yun did not have the qualifications to make such a comment! Didn't he just manage to stand on the sixth level?

Before they could even react, something that nearly made them pop their eyeballs happened. They watched helplessly as Yi Yun leaped down from the sixth level to the seventh level of Black Wind Valley!

This is…

Everyone was astounded. Yi Yun actually jumped onto the seventh level?

True Martial World - Chapter 845: Ran Yu’s Suggestion

Luo Tian landed on the seventh level of Black Wind Valley once again!

There was about sixteen day left till the end of the trial. With Luo Tian having a great deal of pride, he knew that Cang Mang had deliberately posed a difficult problem to tease them for his own amusement. However, Luo Tian was unhappy about that. He was bent on not letting Cang Mang have his wish. He wanted to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake with his own strength!

Luo Tian also knew about the difficulty of the seventh level. To be able to accomplish the task, other than being powerful himself, he needed to redouble his efforts!

Only through hard work and harder work could he achieve a miracle in the remaining days. Besides obtaining such a huge opportunity, he could also show Cang Mang, who was bent on teasing them, that he was not a person that could be easily teased!

"Luo Tian!"

Seeing Luo Tian return to the seventh level, Ran Yu felt his heart tighten. He had consumed a great deal of his blood and Qi on the seventh level. He had yet to recover from his injuries, so the earliest he could return to the seventh level would be tomorrow. This immediately revealed the contrasting difference between him and Luo Tian, who had gone to the seventh level twice!

The seventh level was difficult, but it also provided the chance for rapid growth. When the time came, Ran Yu might not even have the qualifications to cooperate with Luo Tian to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake, what more being the first to capture the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake.

How could Ran Yu not be anxious when he thought of this?

Luo Tian was definitely his worst enemy at the Black Wind Valley trial.

The moment that Luo Tian landed on the seventh level, the black wyrm charged at Luo Tian with a roar!

"Just nice!"

Luo Tian snarled as all his bloodline and Qi burst outward. At that instant, Luo Tian appeared to have completely transformed into an ancient Gigantic Demon Ape. He pounded his fists on his chest heavily, producing two deafening sounds that resembled heavenly drums being drummed on that reverberated one's ears.

"Boom!"

Luo Tian and the black wyrm clashed. Potent attacks were exchanged between the person and beast.

This clash shook all the black mist in the seventh level, resulting in thundering roars. Looking from above, there were dark clouds rolling in a tumultuous fashion!

Luo Tian was still no match for the black wyrm. Luo Tian was slammed into the cliff by the intense collision again. His blood began surging as he became short of breath.

The black wyrm was also slightly injured. Its figure seemed to turn dimmer, but the black wyrm was formed from the Blood Dragon black gas in the first place. There was black mist everywhere on this level, so just one respiratory cycle was enough for it to quickly replenish the stamina it lost. It did not know tiredness at all.

Unless one could kill the black wyrm in one fell swoop, it would keep on rejuvenating itself.

A black wyrm like this was powerful and undying. Just watching it made people feel like there was no way to defeat it. However, Luo Tian clashed head-on against it again and again!

"Luo Tian is truly terrifying… This black wyrm seems to have endless vitality. But look, although Luo Tian is injured, his bloodline phantom image is also consuming the Blood Dragon black gas around him!" A Fire Cloud State disciple said.

Luo Tian was still able to consume the black gases to heal himself in such an intense battle. Luo Tian was a freak of nature!

"No wonder Luo Tian is able to consecutively enter the seventh level twice. His recovery speed is just too crazy. However… does Luo Tian plan on competing with the black wyrm on recovery rate? There is no way that he can beat it!"

At that moment, a Phoenix Firmiana State disciple sneered and said, "Senior Brother Luo's recovery rate naturally is no match for the black dragon, which is formed from the black mist itself, but so what? Senior Brother Luo can continuously improve and he can even have a breakthrough. Watch and see. In a few days, this black dragon will be devoured by Senior Brother Luo!"

The Phoenix Firmiana State disciple was filled with confidence. Ran Yu clenched his fists tightly when he heard these disciples' discussion. He had completely been overshadowed by Luo Tian!

Although the Phoenix Firmiana State disciple that spoke was rather arrogant, what he said may not be too far from the truth!

At that moment, a red figure suddenly flashed in the seventh level's black gas.

Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake!

Luo Tian caught a glimpse of it and immediately, his eyes focused on it.

Woosh! The sharp sound of air tearing resounded!

Luo Tian did not move his body, but the long tail on his back was whipped out as it twirled and flew at the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake!

Upon seeing this situation, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts.

Luo Tian was too crazy. He was still recuperating! In front of him, there was still the black dragon that was about to recover, but he had the guts to make a move on the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake! The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was not something that could be easily messed with.

But it appeared that Luo Tian was not afraid of injury. Even if he was injured by the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake again, it would be nothing!

The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake was still not something that could be easily captured. As it sensed Luo Tian's tail twirling over, it made an abrupt leap and disappeared in a red flash of light.

It did not clash with Luo Tian's tail. With the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake's cautious personality, it would avoid any head-on collisions if possible.

"The Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake is indeed a difficult catch!" Luo Tian's tail might have missed, but he revealed a carefree laugh.

He suddenly looked up and glanced at Cang Mang, who was sitting high in the sky, and he said in an unrestrained manner, "However, there are still sixteen days left. This Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake will inevitably be mine!"

What he said was meant for Cang Mang!

Cang Mang's lips curled up slightly as he revealed a fascinated smile. He was waiting to see the fun.

On the sixth level of Black Wind Valley, Ran Yu's expression turned extremely ugly when he heard those words.

Inevitable!?

Luo Tian was way too arrogant to say such strong words publicly!

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Luo Tian is right. The number one person of the Phoenix Firmiana State should be unrestrained in such a manner!" A lackey of Luo Tian shouted loudly. From his point of view, the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake at the Black Wind Valley trial was already in the bag for Luo Tian.

When a Fire Cloud State disciple heard this, he could not help but quip, "To be so arrogant despite not catching the snake yet. Our Fire Cloud State's Ran Yu and Gu Luo are still resting. It's not too late to brag after they make their second attempt."

"Haha, wait for your Fire Cloud State's Ran Yu and Gu Luo to make a second attempt? That would be tomorrow, or maybe the day after tomorrow?" The lackey of Luo Tian, who spoke previously, said in disdain.

When he said this, several Phoenix Firmiana State disciples laughed in unison.

"With Ran Yu and Gu Luo's recovery rate, they probably won't have many shots at it even by the end of the trial!" Another person mocked.

The Fire Cloud State's disciples had ugly expressions on their faces, but they could not refute at all.

As for Ran Yu, his expression was grim, and he had killing intent in his eyes.

He was also a proud person. He refused to cooperate with others, but it was true that he was inferior to Luo Tian. And if this went on any further, the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake would truly be caught by Luo Tian.

He suddenly looked at Yi Yun and said, "Junior Brother Yi, let us cooperate!"

The partner Ran Yu chose was Yi Yun!

Even though they were from the same Fire Cloud State, Ran Yu did not wish to cooperate with Gu Luo. Gu Luo's qualifications and cultivation time in the Heaven Fire Hall was in no way inferior to Ran Yu. Furthermore, Ran Yu did not dare say that he could beat the thin fellow in terms of strength. And most importantly of all, Gu Luo had a background, he had a powerful faction behind him!

Such a faction was something that Ran Yu could not afford to offend. That meant that if he cooperated with Gu Luo and obtained the Intermediary Spirit Blood Snake, it was impossible for Ran Yu to take it all for himself. It might even be taken away by Gu Luo, so his efforts might end up not yielding the desired outcome.

In that case, Ran Yu obviously wanted to cooperate with Yi Yun.

Yi Yun was young and he had a low cultivation level. Furthermore, he did not have any factions supporting him. He was absolutely weaker in terms of factional power and he was easier to control.
