True Martial World - Chapter 915: Death Reclusion

Anyone who killed the third Ancient Fey onwards in the Fey Refining Rock array would receive rewards.

However, these rewards were nothing much when being compared to the reward that was given to the person who came first.

Yi Yun and Princess White Fox had both defeated the fifth Ancient Fey, but Yi Yun had finished first. With this reason, Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi, who were biased towards Luo clan disciples, obviously determined that Princess White Fox had narrowly lost. Hence, Yi Yun clinched first place. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

The reward for being first in the Fey Refining Rock was an Ancient Fey bone. But even Ancient Fey bones had different qualities.

The Ancient Fey bone that Yi Yun previously obtained at the Black Wind Valley trials was a peripheral part of the Ancient Fey's skeleton. The amount of Ancient Fey energy that it contained was not much.

Better Ancient Fey bones came from areas such as the sternum or spine — core parts of the Ancient Fey's torso. These spots were where large amounts of energy of the Ancient Fey were deposited in the skeleton.

As for the Ancient Fey bone that was awarded to the person who came first, it was also a peripheral part. The only difference was that it contained a tiny bit of bone marrow as well.

An Ancient Fey's skeleton contained an immense amount of energy, but the essence of an Ancient Fey did not lie in its skeleton. It was in its blood marrow.

After an Ancient Fey's death, its blood marrow would dissipate into the ether, returning to the Universe. Only an extremely tiny portion of it would be left in the skeleton.

This reward was something that all geniuses from large family clans desired. Their family clans might be influential, but it was not that easy obtaining an Ancient Fey bone that contained bone marrow, let alone giving it to them.

The better the reward that Yi Yun obtained, the worse Bai Yueqing's mood would become.

The reason that he came to the Luo clan trials was because he wanted to see Princess White Fox's performance so he could get some reassurance for his bet.

However, before he even received any assurances, he ended up getting so infuriated that he had to suppress his anger. The suppression nearly caused him to suffer from internal injuries.

"Because of the Third Prince's arrival, my Luo clan's disappointing disciples must have been imperceptibly motivated. Finally, they managed to squeeze a bit of potential out. Thank you Third Prince, it must have been hard on you." Elder Shi said.

The corner of Bai Yueqing's eyes twitched. Elder Shi might be a man of few words, but he had a strong sense of retaliatory streak in him. All Bai Yueqing had done was question if the Ranyi Fish that Yi Yun had chosen was not as powerful as the Fey dragon, but this remark had been constantly on Elder Shi's mind.

"Heh heh, not really… "

"I wonder, how many more days does Third Prince want to stay?" Elder Shi said again.

Stay any longer? Bai Yueqing was no longer in the mood for it. If he stayed any longer, he felt like he would really suffer a mental collapse.

Bai Yueqing quickly bade them farewell. When he arrived, he came swaggering. But when he left, he left in a hurry. His spirit cruiser quickly tore through the void and it vanished in the space above the Luo Divine Hall.

Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi stood midair while watching this happen. Elder Duanmu stroked his beard and said, "Senior Brother, the closer it is to your breakthrough reclusion, the more I find you are becoming petty."

"Before reclusion, one's state of mind is extremely important. One should act as one pleases. Furthermore, this reclusion will last till my death if I fail to break through. Even the Heavens do not know if I'll be able to come out alive. In that case, why must I worry about so much?" Elder Shi said.

Elder Duanmu's lips quivered, but he did not say anything. All he did was let out a sigh.

"There's no need for you to sigh. Although I am determined to enter a death reclusion, it is still in preparation. I've been pursuing martial arts my entire life. Being a Supremacy is the ravine that stops me in my martial path. One is willing to die in the evening if the truth could be heard in the morning. As long as I probe it, I'll die without regrets." Elder Shi said.

"No wonder you think so highly of that kid's martial heart." Elder Duanmu said.

Elder Shi did not say a thing. In the past, he only found Yi Yun mildly interesting, but after Yi Yun killed the fifth Ancient Fey, he began to truly pay close attention to Yi Yun.

"The little fox isn't bad too. Unfortunately, she's not from our Luo clan." Elder Duanmu added, "But it's no big deal. She can definitely become one of us."

Elder Duanmu stroked his beard as a smile flashed in his eyes.

This time, Elder Shi opened his mouth. "Yeah."

...

White Fox training ground. Celestial Platform.

The Celestial Platform was made of countless floating rocks.

This independent space was extremely special. It did not have any land in it. Rocks of all shapes and sizes were floating in the air. The small ones were the size of millstones, just enough for one person to stand on them, while the big ones were hundreds of feet wide.

The rocks that formed the Celestial Platform were powered by an array formation, forming a platform ladder that reached the heavens. The higher one went, the more difficult the trial became.

At that moment, Luo Huo'er had already broken through to the 19th level!

It was a boulder that was about a hundred feet wide. The higher one went on the Celestial Platform, the more chaotic the laws became.

The difficulty here had already halted the progress of most of the trial-takers!

Only a few trial-takers, for example, Xuan Junyue, were still struggling on the 15th and 16th levels.

There was a glimmer of hope for Xuan Junyue to reach the 17th level.

He looked up at the boulder. Although it was just the distance of one level, every level up had a steep rise in difficulty in the Celestial Platform.

At that moment, Luo Huo'er was sitting on the 19th level boulder to meditate.

The disciples who were lacking in strength could not even sit here properly. The chaotic laws might even cause their Yuan Qi circulation to turn turbulent, causing them to die by exploding.

Luo Huo'er was sitting on the boulder, dressed in a thin dress. Her hair had turned a fiery-red color, while her pupils had turned scarlet red, as though they were dancing flames.

The 19th level was somewhat difficult for Luo Huo'er. However, awakening her bloodline made it trivial.

This was because her Ancient Fey bloodline was extremely rich. The Ancient Fey were born of the Universe itself, so their insights into laws were very high.

Everyone else was trying their best to move up another level, but Luo Huo'er was extremely laid back. She was in no hurry and she was even planning on sitting on the boulder for some time.

Since no one could exceed her, why did she need to rush herself? She might as well take a good rest.

At that moment, a fiery-red charm suddenly flashed in front of her.

The Celestial Platform was a training ground of the White Fox clan, but as a princess of the Luo clan, a heir designate, Luo Huo'er obviously enjoyed certain privileges. This voice transmission charm was one of her privileges.

Luo Huo'er was somewhat surprised. What matter was so urgent that a voice transmission had to be sent to her during her trial?

At the moment that the voice transmission charm shattered, a voice entered Luo Huo'er's ears.

"What!? Little Yun is that awesome!?"

The information in the voice transmission was regarding Yi Yun's performance at the Luo Divine Hall's trials.

Luo Huo'er stared in the direction of the shattered charm in surprise. Yi Yun had killed the fifth Ancient Fey faster than Princess White Fox!

Luo Huo'er had seen Princess White Fox's talent. Princess White Fox was definitely no ordinary person, so although Luo Huo'er was proud, she still thought highly of an opponent like Princess White Fox.

"Little Yun actually beat Princess White Fox… " Luo Huo'er found it incredible.

Yi Yun had truly given her one surprise after another after their reunion in the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

"Little Yun did very well. That male seductive fox will definitely lose the bet that he suggested. Who knows if that little fox princess will end up having Little Yun to accompany her on her travels. I wonder what expression a particular brother of mine will have when he learns about this matter." A sinister smile appeared on Luo Huo'er's delicate face.

However, as she smiled, she suddenly smacked her palms.

"Aiyah, that's bad! If this keeps going, what would happen if I were to lose to Little Yun? Wouldn't that be so embarrassing? I have to carry on!"

The White Fox Elder that was monitoring the situation of the trial suddenly sensed motion on the 20th level of the Celestial Platform!

Luo Huo'er had reached the 20th level?

The White Fox disciples, who had already suffered terrible mental setbacks, immediately noticed that Luo Huo'er's strength had suddenly risen sharply… Could it be that she was not using all her strength previously?

The White Fox disciples had tears flowing down their faces!

They were also elites of the White Fox clan, but participating in a trial with Luo Huo'er was masochism. Those who did not have a resolute mind might receive such a heavy blow that would tear them to pieces.

True Martial World - Chapter 914: Outcome of Battle

As the cold seawater washed against Yi Yun's skin, Yi Yun experienced the raining blood while feeling an inexplicable sense of calm. It was most likely the comfortable feeling after experiencing a life and death battle. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

This was the first time that Yi Yun used the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence in true combat. Throughout the entire battle, although he had only barely conjured a weakened form of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence at the final moment, Yi Yun’s body seemed to attain a familiarity with the laws of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.

He was taking advantage of the serenity of the moment to digest the realizations that he was receiving.

The blood rain quickly disappeared, but the smell of blood continued to linger in the air, as though there were strands of blood floating across his face from time to time.

Yi Yun refused the chance to battle the sixth Ancient Fey. In his present condition, he was already unable to carry on.

As such, after Yi Yun's Fey Refining Rock array battle ended, he was transported out of the independent space.

The moment he exited the Fey Refining Rock array, Yi Yun sensed everyone’s gazes being fixed on him.

The gazes were extremely complex.

There were looks of shock, fear, envy, and worship. One strike would more or less result in some feelings of disbelief. The process of Yi Yun killing the fifth Ancient Fey was like a dream to them.

If Yi Yun had only slain the fourth Ancient Fey, the Luo clan disciples might have surrounded Yi Yun while congratulating him. But now, Yi Yun had instantly killed the fifth Ancient Fey. Furthermore, there was a killing aura emanating from Yi Yun's body. Although the Nine-tailed White Fox's blood had vanished, for some reason or another, people still felt a faint sense of blood lingering around Yi Yun. Such an aura prevented anyone, even the Luo clan disciples, to make conversation with Yi Yun. The area fell into temporary silence.

At that moment, Elder Shi was the first to speak. He said, "Yi Yun, your results in the Fey Refining Rock array are impressive. The rewards promised by the clan will be handed to you very soon."

Rewards!

Upon hearing Elder Shi mention rewards, the young elites present were filled with envy. The rewards were no trifling matter. All the Fey empires and large sects of the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven would gather the best resources to nurture the geniuses under them. Now, Yi Yun had clearly reached the point where the Luo clan would focus on nurturing him.

"Thank you, Senior." Yi Yun said, while having walked to a corner. He wanted to further ponder on the insights gained from the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.

And at that moment in time, the deadlock in Princess White Fox's battle had broken. Princess White Fox, who had used all her strength, had managed to defeat the fifth Fey dragon!

However, Princess White Fox had barely managed victory. Not only had she expended all her stamina, she was also severely injured. Her tenacity was the only thing that kept her going to slay the fifth Fey dragon with great difficulty.

If this were any time in the past, the White Fox disciple would have shouted out in excitement while receiving Princess White Fox, as though they were receiving their goddess of war.

But now, although they were cheering for her, it was much more subdued. This resulted in the first few people to cheer realizing the lack of an atmosphere. Seeing how it was meaningless to cheer, their voices also lowered.

Princess White Fox, who was originally stunning in every way, had only managed to equal Yi Yun's results.

But in terms of killing speed, as well as the shock of annihilating the Nine-tailed White Fox into a blood mist with one strike, Princess White Fox was far inferior to Yi Yun. As such, the White Fox clan themselves lacked the mood to even cheer.

After slaying the fifth Fey dragon, Princess White Fox had already reached her limit.

"Choose your opponent!" After the fifth Fey dragon died, the cold voice of the array resounded in Princess White Fox's ears.

"I give up."

Princess White Fox took a deep breath. She was already a spent force, so it was meaningless to persist on.

With a flash, Princess White Fox appeared in the hall.

Immediately, everyone’s gazes was focused on Princess White Fox.

Princess White Fox had an indifferent character to begin with. She walked her own martial path, and she did not concern herself with how others looked at her. But even so, she guessed that her slaying of the fifth Ancient Fey should have astounded the White Fox clan geniuses.

But from the looks of it, their reactions seemed to be a bit different from what she expected.

A few White Fox disciples were cheering for her, but there were people who had odd looks.

Princess White Fox was slightly surprised. What had just happened?

She looked around and she saw Jian Zhu, Wufeng, the Shadow Twins, Yi Yun, Luo Mo and company, who had all entered the Fey Refining Rock array with her. They had all come out. She was the last, and also the one that had lasted the longest.

This was not odd since she fought the longest, the number of Ancient Fey that she killed was most likely the most as well.

As for the others, it was not Princess White Fox being haughty, but according to the difficulty of the array, she was absolutely sure that other than her, the rest could not even slain the fourth Ancient Fey, let alone the fifth. It exceeded the limits of their strength.

Being able to kill the first three Ancient Fey was already an excellent outcome.

These people having been eliminated ahead of her was within her expectations, but… why did they have such weird expressions?

Furthermore, she noticed that some people were looking at Yi Yun, which made her involuntarily glance at Yi Yun as well. Yi Yun had expended a great deal of energy. His Yuan Qi was nearly drained, but he was uninjured. This shocked Princess White Fox. Typically, with the stamina of a warrior being drained to such levels, be it offensive or defensive strength, they would be weakened, so it was not easy to be unharmed.

"Xue'er, you did well." Bai Yueqing said with a sullen face.

However, his words did not sound anything like he was praising Princess White Fox. Clearly, he was in a terrible mood.

"It was alright. My strength can only reach this stage. There should still be progress in the future… " Princess White Fox answered with some questions on her mind. She looked at Nongying and transmitted her voice, "What just happened? How many Ancient Fey did Jian Zhu kill?"

Could it be that Jian Zhu's results had exceeded her expectations, which resulted in this effect?

"Three." Nongying answered slowly with a voice transmission.

"That result is normal. The fourth Ancient Fey is indeed rather difficult. It's not surprising to not succeed in killing it. What about the others?" Princess White Fox had casually asked, but she never expected Nongying to give her an answer that left her astounded.

Nongying answered, "Sister, Wufeng and I were nothing to talk about, but for Yi Yun, he… also killed the fifth Ancient Fey, just a while ago… "

"Huh!?"

Princess White Fox's eyebrows pricked up. "Yi Yun killed the fifth Ancient Fey?"

"Yeah… he was faster than you... Actually… he only used one move, instantly killing the fifth Ancient Fey. Besides that… " When Nongying reached this point, she revealed a wry smile, "What he killed was the Nine-tailed White Fox that had conjured its Nine-tailed Domain… "

The Nine-tailed White Fox that had conjured its domain? An instant kill with one move?

Princess White Fox was completely flabbergasted. She looked at Yi Yun in disbelief. Her cherry-shaped lips opened slightly, and they did not close for a long period of time.

True Martial World - Chapter 913: 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence

With his two minutes of resting time over, the scene in front of Yi Yun was still the deep blue sky and endless clouds.

"Choose your opponent!" The emotionless voice of the array resounded in Yi Yun's ear.

Yi Yun took a deep breath.

"I choose the… Nine-tailed White Fox!"

Boom!

The clouds opened up as the gigantic head of the White Fox emerged from the clouds. Its pair of black eyes were cold and emotionless as they reflected Yi Yun's face.

At the moment the fifth Ancient Fey — the Nine-tailed White Fox whose strength escalated once again — appeared, it was like it had become the only thing that existed in this world.

The turbulent aura from its body was like roaring waves, hitting Yi Yun's body and mind.

Yi Yun clenched the long sword in his hand. This was his final battle in the Fey Refining Rock array!

"Why is Yi Yun's opponent still my White Fox clan's ancestor?" Bai Yueqing frowned slightly.

As the Nine-tailed White Fox was the White Fox clan's totem, Bai Yueqing found it uncomfortable for it to be used as an opponent in the Fey Refining Rock array. Previously, Bai Yueqing was questioning if the Ancient Fey that Yi Yun had slain was too weak, resulting in Elder Shi changing the Ranyi Fish to the Nine-tailed White Fox. Bai Yueqing could only blame himself. Why did he have to shoot his mouth? But now… it was happening again?

Bai Yueqing looked at Elder Duanmu, but Elder Duanmu threw up his hands and said, "Don't look at me. Yi Yun chose the Nine-tailed White Fox himself. It has nothing to do with me."

Yi Yun chose it?

Bai Yueqing faltered for a moment. He did not choose a weak Ancient Fey, but he ended up choosing the powerful Nine-tailed White Fox? Did Yi Yun find it insufferable enough? Although Yi Yun had won the previous battle, it was a Pyrrhic victory. If he were fighting the Ranyi Fish, how could he have expended that much energy?

"Your Highness, it might have something to do with Yi Yun knowing that it's impossible for him to kill the fifth Ancient Fey, so he's going for broke. By choosing the Nine-tailed White Fox, it might look better even if he were to lose." Someone from the White Fox clan said.

But Bai Yueqing harrumphed.

"Even if he knows he will lose, choosing a weaker one will reduce his suffering. Unless he plans to admit defeat straight away... If not, once the battle begins, he might be severely injured by the Nine-tailed White Fox and it might even affect his future cultivation." Bai Yueqing said lightly.

On the contrary, he was hoping that Yi Yun would not be defeated too early. That would be too boring.

"That punk! For him to dare choose the Nine-tailed White Fox as his fifth Ancient Fey, he really doesn't know how the word death is written."

Bai Yueqing slowly opened his hand fan, seemingly restoring his usual calm composure. After all, in the projection scene to the side, Bai Yueqing had seen the hope of Princess White Fox slaying the fifth Fey dragon. Even if she failed, she was able to severely injure the fifth Fey dragon at least. The gap between Princess White Fox and Yi Yun would still be large. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Just as Bai Yueqing was thinking this, he noticed Yi Yun, who was in the middle of the dark blue sky, wave his hand, discarding rows of flying sabers.

The shiny flying sabers shimmered with fearsome cold beams, but they were discarded just like that.

"Splash! Splash!"

As the flying sabers dropped into the sea, they stirred up tiny ripples but those quickly disappeared.

"He even discarded his sabers?"

Bai Yueqing was stunned. Yi Yun had lost more than a hundred flying sabers in the fourth battle, and logically speaking, he should have requested for the corresponding number of flying sabers to mend the saber array from the Fey Refining Rock array. But now, he had even discarded the remaining flying sabers?

"Is Yi Yun planning on throwing in the towel?" A White Fox disciple said.

Bai Yueqing frowned and said, "That punk sure is crafty. With his stamina weakened, he will directly admit defeat. Although this can prevent risk of severe injuries, it will weaken his martial resolve. His martial resolve will lack the warrior's courage against all odds and an indomitable momentum!"

Bai Yueqing was feeling extremely upset. Yi Yun had just shown off a moment ago, but now by admitting defeat, he could retire after winning some merit. All the benefits were his!

Furthermore, if Yi Yun was planning to admit defeat, what did he summon the Nine-tailed White Fox for? Was he teasing him?

Just as Bai Yueqing was having such thoughts, he suddenly saw a cold glimmer appear in Yi Yun's palm.

Those are… flying sabers!?

"Cha! Cha! Cha!"

Yi Yun stretched his hand out as flying sabers shot out from Yi Yun's body as they floated midair, with their tips pointing in every direction.

There was an estimated hundred sabers.

He did not discard all of them?

What was going on? Yi Yun had 800 flying sabers, and he had deliberately discarded about 700, leaving a hundred behind. What was he planning to do?

A typical saber array would be flawed at the moment it lacked a single saber. But now, there was less than 10% of Yi Yun's saber array left. How was this even usable!?

Just as people were feeling perplexed, the Nine-tailed White Fox roared and attacked Yi Yun!

The Nine-tailed White Fox would not wait for Yi Yun.

At the moment that the Nine-tailed White Fox attacked, a halo expanded around its body. The surrounding space was distorted by the divine light.

It was a domain again!

The Nine-tailed White Fox was conjuring its domain!

This was the domain of the fifth Nine-tailed White Fox, a domain that was on a completely different level to the fourth Nine-tailed White Fox's. Yi Yun had expended 30% of his stamina and his all in order to crack the Nine-tailed Domain. It was nearly impossible for him to crack a stronger domain this time!

The domain expanded and enveloped Yi Yun. Once he was devoured by the domain, the outcome was decided!

At that moment, no one knew what Yi Yun was planning to do. He did not dodge the domain, nor did he throw in the towel.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Yi Yun's Yuan Qi suddenly burst out, like it was a torrential flood that surged in all directions.

People could sense that Yi Yun's energy was rapidly being depleted!

The remaining 70% of Yuan Qi was sucked out in a split second till almost nothing was left, as all of it surged towards —

The hundred flying sabers in front of him!

The hundred flying sabers were injected with immense energy as their bodies began to hum and vibrate, as though they were about to explode!

Yi Yun held his hands together as the hundred flying sabers flew towards Yi Yun's body. At that moment, they were gathered around him, and mysterious runes emerged on the saber blades. These runes were dark and moving in and out of existence. As though no matter how one focused on them, it was impossible to see the runic patterns on the runes!

A hundred flying sabers merged as one, forming a circular shaped saber array that spun at a rapid rate.

Yi Yun used all his energy to push the circular saber array out!

Weng!

Space seemed to tear apart as the saber array smashed towards the Nine-tailed White Fox's gigantic head!

The Nine-tailed Domain had already been conjured. Inside the Nine-tailed Domain, as long as the domain was not taken down, the Nine-tailed White Fox would nearly be invincible!

The Nine-tailed White Fox roared as it sent a claw at the flying sabers. The spinning saber array was clearly reflected in its black pupils.

"Peng!"

With an explosion, the saber array shattered along with the noise!

The hundred flying sabers shattered under the powerful explosion!

Upon seeing this scene, everyone held their breaths. It was over!? That was a strike that drained Yi Yun of his remaining 70% energy?

In a thousandth of the time that it took to blink, the thought that just aroused to which they did not even have time to react, they saw that faint black runic lines were left behind where the shattered saber array was.

The saber array had been broken, but the mysterious runes augmented on the blades were left behind?

The runes, when aligned together, were still in the shape of a circular disk. It looked like a gigantic wheel!

The wheel was revolving. Despite the fierce collision, its rotation speed became uncannily slow, as though time had come to a standstill.

"Aw—"

The Nine-tailed White Fox let out a scream as it clawed at the wheel, but the moment its claw touched the wheel, its claw was torn apart by the slowly revolving wheel!

Flesh and bone separated as blood splattered everywhere!

The Nine-tailed White Fox screamed. The look of fear finally flashed in the depths of its cold and emotionless black pupils. It wanted to retreat, but the black wheel seemed to traverse across space and time, appearing right in front of the Nine-tailed White Fox's body.

"Wo! Wo! Wo!"

As though a spatial black hole had formed inside the Nine-tailed White Fox's body, the Nine-tailed White Fox, which had merged as one with the Nine-tailed Domain, had its body minced by the spatial black hole. Its innards burst as blood sprayed everywhere!

The Nine-tailed Domain began to tremble violently. It was on the verge of collapse!

"Boom!"

The Nine-tailed Domain exploded, while the Nine-tailed White Fox's body was torn apart. Minced meat mixed with fresh blood flew in every direction.

Yi Yun, who had completely exhausted himself, was sent flying back from the blast. His body was covered by the fox's blood and minced meat. It was like he had crawled out of Shura Hell.

Boom!

Yi Yun fell into the sea. The sea had been dyed red. His last bit of energy was only sufficient to ensure that his body floated on the surface, or he would have sunk.

He floated on the surface of the sea in a sprawl, welcoming the sensations of the red rain — the blood of the Nine-tailed White Fox — that bombarded him.

Pada! Pada! The blood that was still warm had a special feeling when it hit his face.

It was over!

The fifth battle was also Yi Yun's final fight. The moment the battle began, Yi Yun used his trump card.

As with the remaining Yuan Qi he had left, Yi Yun was only able to barely summon the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence. If he had used any other move before summoning the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, it would make it difficult for him to have any more Yuan Qi left to continue on.

And it was because of this, Yi Yun did not even have the strength to move his fingers after that one strike.

He looked to be in like he was a sorry state, but outside the Fey Refining Rock array, the scene of him weakly floating above the red sea surface was forever engraved in the minds of the crowd. Even many years later, after some of these young elites had achieved greatness, they still found it difficult to forget this scene —

The youth that used flying sabers had used a hundred flying sabers that were remnants of a whole to kill the fifth Nine-tailed White Fox that appeared in the Fey Refining Rock array in a near-impossible situation.

How did he do it?

There was total silence. Even Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi stared at the projection with their mouths agape. There was no reaction to what had just happened.

And beside Yi Yun's projection, where Princess White Fox was fighting, it was already at its most intense moment. However, no one was paying any attention to her, like they had forgotten about her.

In their vision, there was only Yi Yun, who was facing the sky while he bathed in the rain of blood.

Regardless of how intense Princess White Fox's battle was, it was not as shocking as Yi Yun's instant kill!

Yes, an instant kill. Against Yi Yun, the fifth Ancient Fey, which was so powerful that it made one lack the courage to resist, was… instantly killed!

True Martial World - Chapter 912: Sea of Lightning

"The Nine-tailed Domain has been cracked by Yi Yun!?"

Seeing the White Fox blood that rained down from the sky, the White Fox disciples gasped. The Nine-tailed White Fox was their species' totem. They would occasionally see the Nine-tailed White Fox's phantom image only during their White Fox clan worshiping rituals. To the White Fox clan, the Nine-tailed White Fox was a paramount existence. Now, it had been slain by Yi Yun!

Furthermore, it was the Nine-tailed White Fox that had conjured its Nine-tailed Domain, becoming one with it.

Yi Yun had cracked the domain and he had slain the White Fox. At that moment, Yi Yun had more than 800 flying sabers flying around him, with a great deal of flying saber fragments as well. His entire body was dyed red by the fox's blood, while he gripped his sword tightly in his hand. The sticky blood dripped down his cut face. His brows resembled sharp swords, and his eyes were bright like the morning star. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

He was a warrior that came from the lower realm, and he was younger than most people present. Yet, with his cultivation level at the early stages of the Heaven Ascension realm, he was catching up to Princess Xue'er, who the White Fox clan had nurtured with full dedication. Even though he had yet to match her, he was already at the pinnacle of what a genius was!

Every matter had its pinnacle, and the moment’s pinnacle was undoubtedly Yi Yun's.

He was, in his heyday, a young hero. With a three-foot sword, he slew everything!

The White Fox disciples present did not even speak. Bai Yueqing gripped his fan, as though he wished to shatter the fan.

As for the Luo clan disciples, they were extremely excited. After all, Yi Yun and them were considered to be clansmen. When they were against something foreign, the Luo clan would still be rather united.

"Junior Brother Yi is too powerful!"

"That's right. After the Luo Divine Hall trials end, Junior Brother Yi's reputation will definitely spread throughout the royal capital. When the time comes, his fame might be matchless. Probably many large factions will throw olive branches at Junior Brother Yi, and some powerful family clans might even want to betroth their daughters to Junior Brother Yi!"

As the Luo clan disciples spoke of this, many of them were feeling envious. Such a life was truly something to yearn for!

"Senior Brother, what was that about… ?"

Elder Duanmu looked at the speechless Elder Shi, who was still staring blankly at Yi Yun’s projection screen.

He had just arrogantly commented on Yi Yun's battle on account of his seniority. He was certain that Yi Yun would not find a way to crack the domain, but in a blink of an eye, the Nine-tailed Domain had been shattered.

Elder Shi was at a loss for words. He found it fortuitous that he had made the judgment through a voice transmission with Elder Duanmu, and he had not said so publicly. If not, his old face would probably not be able to withstand such a blow.

"I don't know as well. That punk has truly exceeded my expectations." The corner of Elder Shi's lips twitched as the wrinkles on his face heaved. He believed that he was well-read, but he truly could not understand what had happened. This was the first time that it had happened in his long tenure as guardian of the Luo Divine Hall.

"It's truly odd. I've seen so many geniuses, Luo clan geniuses, who have gone further in the Fey Refining Rock array than Princess White Fox and they were also younger than Yi Yun. I have even guided a few of them, but for me to be completely wrong, to the point of not even understanding what had happened, it's truly a first." Elder Shi murmured.

Elder Duanmu said, "Indeed, it's true that there were others who were more talented than Yi Yun in the Luo clan's history. But when it comes to the person with the fastest improvement, Yi Yun is probably ranked first. Senior Brother, for Yi Yun to come this far, could it be that he had truly gained insights from that mysterious Fey God Stone?"

"About that… " Elder Shi felt as though his heart nearly skipped a beat.

That's impossible!

While the two Elders were engaged in a voice transmission conversation, the White Fox clan and Luo clan disciples had similar thoughts.

What did Yi Yun comprehend over the past seven years? From the looks of it, it was definitely not as simple as the awakening of his Sword of Will!

But thankfully, Yi Yun's absurdity had its limits.

Yi Yun may have slain the fourth Ancient Fey in battle, but his Yuan Qi had dropped significantly. It was already less than 70%.

With his Yuan Qi decreasing so drastically, he clearly lacked the strength to battle the fifth Ancient Fey any further.

"During his battle with the fourth Ancient Fey, Yi Yun had pulled out all the stops. Even if he still had 100% of his stamina, it would be difficult for him to beat the fifth Ancient Fey, not to mention that he has less than 70% of his stamina left now."

"That's right, even a tiny drop in stamina would result in his attacks being less sharp than before. For Yi Yun's stamina to drop below 70%, it means that he fought too desperately. Now, against the fifth Ancient Fey, Yi Yun's offensive and defensive power would only be 70% of the amount that he had while he was battling the fourth Ancient Fey. As for the fifth Ancient Fey, its strength is several times stronger than the fourth Ancient Fey. As a result of this, he will probably last for a brief moment before being defeated."

As people began having such thoughts, they saw the Nine-tailed White Fox's corpse disappear. Even the fox blood that had dyed Yi Yun's body had disappeared as well.

Yi Yun had two minutes to meditate and regulate his breathing, but the amount that he could recover in two minutes was completely trivial when it came to fighting the fifth Ancient Fey.

Just as people came to this realization, a Luo clan disciple suddenly shouted, "Look at Princess White Fox!"

Oh!?

Everyone looked over towards the projection on the side. The scene had zoomed out. The dark blue sky had already turned into a bluish-purple sea of… lightning!

Princess White Fox stepped through the void as her silver hair flared upwards, like she was a goddess descending onto the world.

As though she was fated to rule over heavenly armies, she pointed her sword towards the sky. Thousands of divine lightning bolts were invoked by Princess White Fox's sword!

Countless lightning bolts gathered around her until they took up a substantial form. A sword that seemed to make up of thousands of lightning bolts cleaved down on the Fey dragon!

Some of the power surged out of the Fey Refining Rock array's projection. It was nearly suffocating to the elites present. It was too terrifying!

They knew that Princess Xue'er had a Body of Lightning Spirit. She was extremely well-versed in lightning laws. But before this, Princess Xue'er did not use much of her lightning laws.

That also meant that Princess White Fox was conserving her strength from the very beginning. Even against the fourth Fey dragon, Princess White Fox did not use her full strength. Instead, she used a battle strategy that conserved the most amount of Yuan Qi, in preparation for the fifth battle!

Right from the beginning, Princess White Fox had already treated the fifth battle as a goal! Now, she was expending all her Yuan Qi without any reservations so she could use all of her strength!

In that case, Princess White Fox… might even be able to defeat the fifth Ancient Fey!

Upon realizing this, the White Fox disciples turned excited.

Defeat the fifth Ancient Fey? It was exciting just thinking about it!

"Princess, you're invincible!" A White Fox clan youth, who worshiped Princess Xue'er, could not help but shout. His eyes were filled with an agitated glimmer!

In the mortal world, there were actors that were idolized by others or worshiped to the point of madness, so what was the warrior's world like? Martial arts was not acting, but it is the fundamental foundation of a warrior's world. Who was she? A perfect proud daughter of heaven, a princess who had excellent talent. She was outstanding in every way. There was probably members of the White Fox clan who were willing to die for her.

The battle was more intense than ever! In Princess White Fox's exhilarating battle with the Fey dragon, she could go about it without worries. There was no need for her to conserve her stamina as well. She could go all out.

For such a fantastic and interesting battle, even the Luo clan disciples could not help but shower praises on her. Furthermore, they were infected by Princess White Fox's lofty and mighty appearance. They could not help but cheer for her!

This was the pinnacle of one's life. If it was said that every matter had its pinnacle, now was the pinnacle that belonged to Princess White Fox. This pinnacle had even exceeded Yi Yun's!

"The Fey dragon has been injured! And it doesn't look light! Princess White Fox has managed to severely injure the fifth Fey dragon!"

"The intense battle has lasted for ninety seconds. What terrifying endurance. Princess White Fox's bloodline is truly powerful. Despite going through four battles, Princess White Fox is still able to conserve so much of her stamina."

The ninety-second battle made everyone hold their breaths. At that moment, a Luo clan disciple suddenly said, "Junior Brother Yi's meditation is over. He is about to challenge the fifth Ancient Fey as well!"

The Luo clan disciple, who spoke, sounded slightly agitated. But compared to Princess White Fox's all out battle with the fifth Fey dragon, there were fewer people who paid attention to Yi Yun.

Only when the Luo clan disciple spoke did others look over. Indeed Yi Yun had already stood up from his meditation and he floated upwards.

True Martial World - Chapter 911: Fox Blood Stained Clothes

After slaying the fourth Ancient Fey, there was a two minute rest period before the battle against the fifth Ancient Fey began. Although it was a short period of time, it was sufficient for Princess White Fox, who had a tremendously powerful bloodline, to recover a substantial amount of Yuan Qi.

Princess White Fox was about to challenge the fifth Ancient Fey!

In this regard, the White Fox disciples were excited! But at that moment, even they were not optimistic that Princess White Fox would be able to slay the fifth Ancient Fey.

She did not have an easy time killing the fourth Ancient Fey.

And since the fifth Ancient Fey was stronger than the fourth, for her to defeat the fifth one? Difficult!

Time passed as Princess White Fox began to meditate and regulate her breathing. And outside the array formation, the Luo clan disciples were watching the battle between Yi Yun and the Nine-tailed White Fox nervously.

In the Nine-tailed Domain, Yi Yun had no way to attack the Nine-tailed White Fox's body itself. He could only passively defend, while seemingly attack the Nine-tailed Domain's boundaries in vain.

The Thousand Snow flying sabers would launch a thousand attacks in a few seconds, but every single attack would be repelled by the domain boundaries.

"He still can't crack it!"

"Junior Brother Yi's Yuan Qi is dropping drastically!"

The battle projection of the Fey Refining Rock array gave everyone the feeling that they were there in person. It reflected the moves, the Ancient Fey's aura and suppression, as well as the challenger's Yuan Qi intensity.

Everyone could clearly sense that Yi Yun's Yuan Qi was only about 80% of his full capacity.

Once his Yuan Qi intensity went below its optimal state, then be it attack or defense, it would be more taxing on him. As such, his Yuan Qi would deplete even faster, resulting in a vicious cycle. If this went on, defeat was a matter of time.

At that moment…

"Peng!"

The crisp sound of metal shattering was heard as one of Yi Yun's flying sabers exploded in the Nine-tailed Domain!

"His saber shattered?"

The Luo clan disciples stared at the projection. Although they did not understand the Thousand Snow flying sabers, they knew that Yi Yun was using a form of saber array. The number of flying sabers that formed the array were fixed. With one fewer saber, the saber array would no longer be perfect, resulting in a decrease of its strength!

In the Fey Refining Rock array, all the weapons were standard and lacking in quality. If a warrior injected Yuan Qi into them, it was possible to make it indestructible.

However, if insufficient Yuan Qi was injected while having to sustain high levels of impact, it was normal for the weapon to shatter!

Yi Yun was controlling 999 flying sabers, and with his Yuan Qi being divided into so many portions, in addition to his drop in stamina, this resulted in one flying saber exploding!

Just as people were having such thoughts, the sound of another flying saber shattering into two was heard!

Every flying saber that shattering resulted in Yi Yun's offensive weakening.

"That punk finally can't handle it. He really gave me a fright." Bai Yueqing thought to himself before exhaling.

He was truly afraid that Yi Yun would be able to defeat the Nine-tailed White Fox. That would result in him catching up with Princess White Fox. After all, it was not certain that Princess Xue'er was able to slay the fifth Ancient Fey. When the time came, even if Princess White Fox's battle outcome against the fifth Ancient Fey was much better than Yi Yun's, it would look not much different if she failed to slay it.

Upon thinking about this, Bai Yueqing relaxed. He casually flapped his fan and said, "Yi Yun is not bad either. Unfortunately, he's challenging the Nine-tailed White Fox. As the totem of our White Fox clan, even a wisp of its soul essence has strength beyond his imagination. How would he be able to deal with it?"

Bai Yueqing's words made the Luo clan disciples frown, but they did not retort. After all, Yi Yun's flying sabers were constantly being shattered in the domain. In the short time span, more than ten had shattered.

The Luo clan disciples' hearts sank. As they looked at Princess White Fox again, two minutes was enough for her to restore a sizable amount of her Yuan Qi. She was about to begin challenging the fifth Fey dragon!

The gap was widening!

But even so, Yi Yun could be proud of himself. With his background and age, it was truly a miracle that he achieved so much up to this point.

In the Nine-tailed Domain, Yi Yun's forehead was dripping with sweat as he panted. By using the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence's laws in actual combat, what limited his strength the most was his weak cultivation level.

Yi Yun's Yuan Qi was insufficient to support the use of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence. Even if he were using the nomological fragments, his energy was quickly depleting!

"I need to maintain 70% of my stamina to reach the fifth stage at least. Only then will I have the slightest chance of winning. For now, I can only use 10% of my energy to crack this Nine-tailed Domain!"

Yi Yun powered the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra' to its maximum. The 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was an offensive technique after all. What truly affected a warrior's cultivation level and Yuan Qi reserves was one's cultivation technique.

Once upon a time, the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra' was the top-level cultivation technique that Yi Yun possessed. It was a great boost for Yi Yun, but now, with the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra' was insufficient. This resulted in the Yuan Qi reserves being Yi Yun's weakness.

"More than twenty flying sabers have shattered. That punk is truly at his limits." Elder Duanmu said with a sigh.

Despite already knowing Yi Yun's performance was stunning, he subconsciously hoped that Yi Yun would create a greater miracle.

"There are many shattered, but don't you find it odd? The punk seems to be deliberately conserving strength at this point in time?" At that moment, Elder Shi suddenly spoke.

Elder Duanmu was stunned as he looked at the projection. He realized that Yi Yun did not seem to be going all out as well. It was as though he had reservations…

"What is that punk doing? Doesn't he know the urgency of the situation? Why isn't he not using all of his strength? Even if he doesn't crack the Nine-tailed Domain, by freely attacking, it would allow his results to look better."

Elder Duanmu was left perplexed. Rewards were awarded through the clearance of the Fey Refining Rock array. The better the results were, the better the rewards were.

"Yi Yun is persisting in a difficult situation indeed. He has used every means possible, but I noticed that the flying sabers that shattered seem interesting. The twenty or so flying sabers that shattered seem to give me a special feeling when linked together… "

"Oh?" Elder Duanmu pricked his eyebrows. "Senior Brother, what do you mean? Are you telling me that Yi Yun has found a way to crack the domain?"

Elder Shi dismissed it, "Unlikely. If it were me, even if I had the Heaven Ascension cultivation level, I would have a hundred means of cracking the Nine-tailed Domain. However, Yi Yun is not using any one of the hundred. I do not think he can find a method that exceeds my methods."

"But since he hasn't found a solution, Yi Yun is still attempting it. However, his attempts make me find it rather special. As to saying that there's something profound about it, it's unlikely!"

Elder Shi shook his head. He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. His cultivation level was formidable and he was well-read. He could understand the profoundness of the laws and the moves of a junior, even if it was the first time he saw them.

He could not comprehend the profoundness in Yi Yun's moves, which only meant that it probably lacked any.

Just as Elder Shi said this, a series of 'Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng' noises was heard. Dozens of flying sabers shattered at that instant.

Adding the ones from before, a total of hundred flying sabers had been shattered!

No one noticed that after every flying saber shattered, the nomological fragments injected into the flying sabers had transformed into golden runes that affixed themselves to the Nine-tailed Domain's boundary.

A hundred flying sabers had left behind a hundred golden runes.

When the runes were linked together, they seemed to form a giant wheel.

And at that moment, Yi Yun's body suddenly flashed as he arrived at the center of this wheel!

He faced the spatial boundary with his back facing the Nine-tailed White Fox!

As he had flown to this point while disregarding everything, he was unable to block the Nine-tailed White Fox's attack in time. A fox claw followed swiftly behind Yi Yun. Yi Yun was about to be torn to shreds!

"Junior Brother Yi!"

People screamed. It was like Yi Yun did not know that the Nine-tailed White Fox was attacking him!

Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi stirred as they circulated their Yuan Qi. They planned on saving Yi Yun in the nick of time.

But at that moment, Yi Yun ignored the Nine-tailed White Fox. With his sword in hand, he stabbed the core of the wheel!

Break!

Boom!

The hundred runes exploded simultaneously! The entire spatial boundary of the Nine-tailed Domain began to crack like an eggshell through this intense blast.

As for the Nine-tailed White Fox, which was located in the middle of the Nine-tailed Domain, it had already merged with the domain. It was the domain, and the domain was it.

At the instant that the domain shattered, the Nine-tailed White Fox's body shattered as well. It let out a horrifying scream as its body was torn apart, spraying blood everywhere!

The fatal claw was reduced to dust just as it was about to strike Yi Yun's back.

With the sword in his hand, Yi Yun's back faced the collapsing Nine-tailed White Fox. His body was soaked in the rain of fox blood. It was a bloody patch!

This sudden change in the scene exceeded everyone's expectations!

Yi Yun was just about to fail, and he had even been hit by the fox's claw, but in an instant, everything was reversed. Yi Yun's sword had cracked the Nine-tailed Domain and the Nine-tailed White Fox was killed as a result!?

Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi stared at Yi Yun with an inexplicable look on their usually indifferent and cold faces, let alone the complete daze the Luo clan and White Fox disciples were in. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

What the hell happened?

True Martial World - Chapter 910: Fusing with the Heaven and Earth

"That punk… was just lucky. Mental battles must be his forte, so it makes it easier for his Sword of Will to shatter the illusion!"

The White Fox disciples were feeling depressed. The greatest advantage that the Nine-tailed White Fox held happened to be countered by Yi Yun.

"No problem. The Nine-tailed White Fox is more than just that. Even if he had broken through the mist of illusions, he still will not be able to break the Nine-tailed Domain! And the Nine-tailed White Fox is invincible inside the Nine-tailed Domain!"

Being the amalgamation of nine domains, the Nine-tailed Domain was the highest manifestation of the Nine-tailed White Fox’s mastered laws. If Yi Yun had known about the combat techniques that the Nine-tailed White Fox employed ahead of time, he could have avoided them in advance, but now, Yi Yun was already sealed in the domain.

In the Nine-tailed Domain, Yi Yun looked at the Nine-tailed White Fox with a strange feeling. He felt as though the White Fox was the world itself.

"Is this the effect of a domain… ?"

With a thought from Yi Yun, his Golden Crow Aspect Totem emerged behind him. The phantom image of the Tang Valley with Fusang emerged as well!

Yi Yun shook the sword in his hand and slashed it at the Nine-tailed White Fox!

"Cha!"

The sword beam tore through the void, hitting the Nine-tailed White Fox straight in its head. However, just at the moment that the sword beam hit the Nine-tailed White Fox's head, a very strange phenomenon seemed to happen. Like water ripples, the Nine-tailed White Fox's body split apart, making way for the sword beam!

It was like Yi Yun was slashing a phantom image! This was completely different from how the Ranyi Fish used water-elemental laws to dodge attacks. The Ranyi Fish was injured in the process at least, but the Nine-tailed White Fox escaped completely unscathed. Yi Yun's blade had missed it!

"An illusion?" The Luo clan disciples stared at the projection. Even the Nine-tailed White Fox's body itself can become an illusion itself?

But just as they had this thought.

"Cha!"

A fox claw that was as sharp as a blade swiped at Yi Yun. It brought a breathtaking sharpness with it, as it slashed at Yi Yun's side!

Yi Yun dodged the claw, but the enchanted clothes he wore were ripped apart by the winds that the claw stirred!

"It's not an illusion!"

It was not an illusion when it was attacked, but it would become an illusion when it defended?

Wouldn't this make it practically unbeatable?

Many people had such thoughts because they did not understand the Nine-tailed White Fox's combat methods.

However, Yi Yun's mind remained clear in the Nine-tailed Domain. The inkling that he had from before was not wrong. The Nine-tailed White Fox had actually integrated itself with the domain. The Nine-tailed Domain was the Nine-tailed White Fox, and the Nine-tailed White Fox was the domain as well!

The Nine-tailed White Fox had manifested itself as a world. If this domain was not shattered, there was no way to defeat the Nine-tailed White Fox!

...

"Senior Brother, you seem to have overdone it." In front of Yi Yun's battle projection, Elder Duanmu transmitted his voice to Elder Shi.

If Yi Yun was battling the Ranyi Fish, he might have severely injured it already.

However, Yi Yun was lacking in experience when it came to battling the Nine-tailed White Fox, which had all sorts of bizarre combat techniques. It was very disadvantageous for Yi Yun.

Elder Shi faltered slightly and then said, "It's not true that this domain doesn’t have a weakness, but it will be very difficult for Yi Yun to find the weakness. However, that's fine as well. By letting him know what sort of bizarre and multifaceted battle moves exist in the martial world, it is worth the tiny loss against the young lass from the White Fox clan."

During Elder Duanmu and Elder Shi's conversation, Princess White Fox had seriously injured the fourth Fey dragon already!

It was the fourth Ancient Fey, yet it did not seem to put a stop to Princess White Fox's advancement.

As for Yi Yun, he was in a stalemate.

As for people like Jian Zhu, the Shadow Twins, and Wufeng, they had already been expelled because of defeat. Only Jian Zhu and the older one of the Shadow Twins, Nongying, had barely managed to kill the third Ancient Fey. They were no match for the fourth Ancient Fey when they faced it. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

As for Nongyue and Wufeng, they had only managed to severely injure the third Ancient Fey, but they ended up being defeated before falling short of killing the third Ancient Fey.

At the moment they were expelled by the Fey Refining Rock, they saw the two large projections of the Fey Refining Rock array.

"Princess Xue'er, and the other one is… Yi Yun!?"

"Yi Yun is battling the Nine-tailed White Fox!? Furthermore, it has already conjured its Nine-tailed Domain!?"

Nongying and Nongyue came to a realization as to what had happened in the other battles. As descendants of the White Fox, the gigantic Nine-tailed White Fox astounded them!

They did not need to ask which Ancient Fey that Yi Yun had reached because they knew just from the aura of the Nine-tailed White Fox and the feeling that the Nine-tailed Domain gave them that the Nine-tailed White Fox that they were seeing was much stronger than the third Ancient Fey that they had been fighting!

"Could it be that Yi Yun is fighting the fourth Ancient Fey!?"

The twins found it unbelievable!

"That's right! The fourth one!" Bai Yueqing said as he gripped the fan in his hand tightly!

Even though Yi Yun was now at an impasse, Bai Yueqing was still unable to understand why Yi Yun had become so strong.

"Cha!"

In the Nine-tailed Domain, another claw swiped at Yi Yun. Three bloody marks smeared through the Nine-tailed Domain where the claw's tips were. The consequences were obvious if the bloody marks landed on Yi Yun's body!

Yi Yun dodged them in the nick of time. At that moment, Yi Yun remained extremely calm while he faced the Nine-tailed White Fox.

The Nine-tailed Domain was something that he had never been exposed to. The superposition of nine domains gave Yi Yun an experience that he had never felt before in combat.

This was a challenge, but wasn't it also an opportunity for him to train himself?

Yi Yun had mediated over the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence through the Purple Crystal Fey God Stone. Although he had gained insights into it over a period of seven years, the gap between his and the long-haired man's realm was still like the difference of night and day.

Furthermore, to go from insights to actual combat skill required a process.

Yi Yun wanted to use this actual combat to complete a perfect fusion between the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence's laws and his actual combat skills.

Cha!

The fox claw swiped at Yi Yun, but this time, not only did Yi Yun dodge, he had even slashed out as a response!

Yi Yun's blade shimmered with purple runes. The purple runes were the runic patterns that came from the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.

With Yi Yun's present realm, summoning the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence in its entirety was too difficult. It would nearly consume all of his strength, resulting in him not being able to continue fighting.

That was to say that if Yi Yun were to summon the complete 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence and kill the fourth Ancient Fey, that would be as far as he could go for this Fey Refining Rock array. That was not the outcome Yi Yun wanted.

And if he distilled the complete 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence into nomological runes and augmented his weapons with them, it would save a lot of energy!

Saber beams appeared as 999 flying sabers shot out from Yi Yun's surroundings. Each flying saber was inscribed with a rune.

The flying sabers flew freely as they arrived at the boundaries of the domain!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

As metal struck the nomological barrier, it issued a jarring sound.

As for Yi Yun's sword, it was devoted to battling the fox claws!

Every flying saber slammed into the domain’s barriers and were repelled, as though it was in vain.

But in fact, Yi Yun was choosing a different point of attack every single time!

To Yi Yun, every strike of the saber array was a clash of laws. The feeling was completely different.

In the battle, he began deducing the way to crack the Nine-tailed Domain through the collision of laws.

At the same time, this was a form of training for Yi Yun's use of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence!

As he attempted to crack the domain, he was enhancing his comprehension of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence. Yi Yun believed that no matter how powerful the Nine-tailed White Fox was, it was greatly inferior to the long-haired man hidden in the Purple Crystal's phantasm.

The Nine-tailed Domain's laws were inferior to the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence after all!

Saber beams flew in all directions like flying snowflakes. As for Yi Yun, he was in a dangerous situation as the fox claws attacked him. It was like he would be defeated at any moment!

"Junior Brother Yi is embroiled in a bitter battle!" The Luo clan disciples were extremely nervous.

As for the White Fox disciples, it appeared as though victory was at hand. "Yi Yun is still flinging his flying sabers around at that moment. Does he think he can crack the Nine-tailed Domain? What naivety!" A White Fox disciple said when suddenly a loud cheer erupted from the White Fox disciples.

"Princess Xue'er! Princess Xue'er has killed the fourth Ancient Fey!"

The Luo clan disciples were stunned as they turned their heads quickly. There, they saw a long dragon's corpse floating above a deep blue sea. Its body was covered in wounds!

As for Princess White Fox, she floated mid-air, while crimson dragon's blood slowly flowed down her sword tip.

"Pa Da! Pa Da!"

The heavy dragon's blood fell into the sea.

The scene of clothes as white as snow, while blood dyed the sea was fixed in the irises of many disciples as they felt their entire beings going into shock.

Momentarily, the Luo clan disciples were silent in front of the Fey Refining Rock projection.

Princess White Fox was too powerful!

Invincibility was a form of loneliness. Amongst the younger generation participating in the Luo Divine Hall trials, Princess White Fox was probably an invincible existence. Thankfully, the Luo clan still had Luo Huo'er to match her.

True Martial World - Chapter 909: Illusions Abound

"Oh? The Nine-tailed White Fox's domain boundary is that powerful!?"

Yi Yun looked at his surroundings. The space that he was in appeared to be sealed off by invisible barriers, but the barriers did not truly exist. They were formed from laws, and it was the change in the laws of nature of this space that had blocked his Thousand Snow flying sabers.

But not only that, the domain contained an invisible pressure!

The pressure was not only a pressure that targeted his body and energy, it was also a pressure that targeted the soul!

The domain was lorded over by the Nine-tailed White Fox, and this repressive feeling came right from the soul…

Yi Yun saw death and hell. He saw the Black-armored Demon God in the Tian Yuan world!

The Black-armored Demon God had long been subdued by Yi Yun, but now, he had appeared in Yi Yun's mental world once again.

The Black-armored Demon God brandished his lance and wherever he passed, massacres would occur with massive losses of life!

"This is... an illusion? Scenes that I fear in my heart?"

Yi Yun came to this realization. Illusion attacks typically attacked one's mental demons. Back when the Black-armored Demon God was wreaking havoc, there was a period of time that Yi Yun was powerless against him, so the Black-armored Demon God was really a mental demon of his.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The Black-armored Demon God roared with a resounding bellow. Yi Yun could see the wanton flashes of blood shuttling through his body, as though they were ripping him to pieces.

...

It was not only limited to Yi Yun. Even the young elites outside the Fey Refining Rock array immediately felt illusions appearing around them as they watched the Nine-tailed White Fox and the Nine-tailed domain it formed.

Battle! Blood! Murder! Wraiths! Mental demons!

All sorts of illusions surged at them like a flood, as though it would wipe their sanity away.

Unknowingly, cold sweat began oozing out of the foreheads of many people. The illusions had an effect on their minds. Whatever happened in the illusions were the things that they feared the most. They seemed like dreams, but they also seemed real, preventing them from escaping from their deepest fears.

The powerfulness of illusions was the impact that it gave you despite you knowing that it was fake.

Not only were the Luo clan disciples affected, even the White Fox disciples, who were feeling proud because of the Nine-tailed White Fox, were in a similar situation. Although they kept saying the words 'Eye of the Skyfox' or 'Nine-tailed Domain', those were abilities that people who had truly awoken the White Fox bloodline had. Ordinary White Fox disciples could only brag about it with their mouths to find a sense of pride, but in fact, it had nothing to do with them.

At that moment, Elder Shi coldly harrumphed.

It as though a large gong had reverberated in the ears of everyone. The disciples who were lacking in strength awoken. They were gasping for breaths as though they had experienced a huge battle.

Many people began feeling a belated fear. They could tell that it was an illusion in the beginning, but unknowingly, they fell deeper into the illusions.

The Luo clan disciples noticed that the White Fox disciples were not one bit stronger than they were.

A Luo clan disciple could not help but quip, "That bunch of foxes were still bragging a while ago, and now, aren't they just like us!?"

The competition between the two sides was so intense to the point of all decorum being lost. That Luo clan disciple did not use a Yuan Qi transmission and he had said it out loud instead. Although it was not said in a very loud voice, the White Fox disciples heard him clearly.

Immediately, the expressions on the White Fox disciples' faces turned extremely ugly.

As disciples of the White Fox clan, their performance in front of their ancestor's illusion was equally as bad as the Luo clan disciples. It was very shameful!

A White Fox disciple could not help but retort, "Hmph! My art is not intricate enough and I have a weak bloodline. So what if I'm affected by the illusions? This shows how powerful the talent of our White Fox clan's blood lineage is! The true Nine-tailed White Fox is not something that any of you can imagine! Just from the projection of the array formation can result in such repercussions as a result of the illusions. If you were truly in the Nine-tailed Domain, you would have suffered a mental collapse!"

The Luo clan disciples immediately turned worried when they heard the White Fox disciple's words.

Yes, just the projection itself was horrifying, then how bad would it be inside the Nine-tailed Domain? Wouldn't the intensity of the illusions that Yi Yun faced be a hundred times higher than theirs? It would really result in a mental collapse!

The Luo clan disciples present turned their heads to the Fey Refining Rock array's projection and they saw Yi Yun silently standing in the Nine-tailed Domain. His entire being looked he had been cast in stone making him motionless. And around Yi Yun, there was a gray mist that lingered in the Nine-tailed Domain. The mist was constantly in motion, at times forming a ghostly image that enveloped Yi Yun.

"What's that gray mist? Is Junior Brother Yi fine? Why is he motionless? He hasn't been defeated, has he!?"

"Don't say such disheartening words. Maybe Junior Brother Yi is battling the fox in his mental world. The outcome is still unknown."

No one undermined themselves while uplifting others, but when the Luo clan disciples said such things, the White Fox disciples sneered.

"The outcome is still unknown? Our ancestor, the Nine-tailed White Fox, is the father of the laws of illusion. How can it lose to a human in battle while in a mental world?"

A female White Fox disciple said with a proud tone, but just as her voice faded away —

"Whew!"

A black beam of light shot out of Yi Yun's glabella, penetrating the void!

It was a black-colored sword of light!

The sword was black in color, but it was blinding, like it was tearing straight through the souls of the crowd.

Be it the Luo clan disciples or the White Fox disciples, they felt as though a sword was being held against their glabellus. It made their hairs stand.

Sword of the Will!?

This thought streaked past the minds of everyone present. For a sword of light to shoot out of one's glabella, it was very likely to be a Sword of Will.

A sword that slayed all monsters and demons, dispersing the gray mist in a single sweep, vanquishing them into nothingness!

The Nine-tailed White Fox’s massive body quivered because of this sword as it retreated.

A single Sword of Will had broken the illusions of confusion in the Nine-tailed Domain and it had even made the Nine-tailed White Fox retreat?

People held their breaths. All of them knew that Yi Yun had been in meditation for seven long years, eventually culminating in a mutation of his spirit. Having awoken his Sword of Will, it now appeared that the black light was the usage of the Sword of Will.

They had lost themselves in the illusion attack just by watching a projection. Yet, Yi Yun, who was in the domain itself, was able to tear it apart with a single strike. The gap between his strength and theirs was huge. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

When the White Fox disciples present saw this situation, the words they were planning to say were drowned in their bellies.

They stared at the Fey Refining Rock array with astounded looks on their faces.

The Nine-tailed White Fox's illusion attack was broken just like that?

They knew that Yi Yun had experienced a spirit mutation, but after the Nine-tailed White Fox conjured its domain, even the White Fox disciples were left speechless at the powerfulness of the domain. As a result, everyone had forgotten about Yi Yun's spirit mutation.

Moreover, even if they recalled it, they would never expect that Yi Yun's Sword of Will would be so resilient for him to tear apart the mental illusions!
