True Martial World - Chapter 933: Five Factions

Luo Huo'er's words were infused with Yuan Qi, so although she spoke softly, it was extremely penetrating.

Ye Yi's swordlike eyebrows pricked up. "Interesting. You are right. There is no need for a reason for inferior warriors to be killed. Their only fault is that they lack strength. Then, I want to see whether or not you are stronger than me!"

As Ye Yi spoke, his eyes glimmered with fighting spirit.

Ye Yi was a martial fanatic who was militant in nature. He could not contain himself when facing an opponent like Luo Huo'er.

Instantly, the surrounding crowd turned excited.

They never expected how climatic the battleground of Chi Zhuiyun's challenge could become. Before he even appeared, there were already clashes between top geniuses.

But at that moment, Luo Huo'er only gave a lazy glance at Ye Yi and said, "You aren't qualified. If anyone wants to challenge me, get that whatever goddess from your Eternal Eventide Sea!"

Oh?

Ye Yi's pupils constricted.

At that moment, a golden carriage suddenly rumbled through the sky. There were four dragon horses pulling the carriage with golden light shimmering from it! On the carriage, there was an orange emblem of a mountain.

Everyone looked up and someone said, "It's the World Margin Sect's carriage. Sitting in it is probably the number one disciple of the World Margin Sect, Tianya Haoyue."

After the World Margin Sect, there was a resplendent green light that illuminated the firmament. A spirit vessel made of jade came floating over.

It was a spirit vessel of the White Fox clan. It was very likely that Princess White Fox was inside the jade spirit vessel.

Immediately following that, there was a black-bodied ancient chariot pulled by nine spirit birds that resembled black phoenixes.

"It's the goddess, Xi Ye, of our Eternal Eventide clan." A member of the Eternal Eventide clan said in the crowd.

The two young Eternal Eventide clan disciples that had their tongues burnt by Luo Huo'er also mumbled the words 'goddess Xi Ye'. They looked excited and at the same time, they looked at Luo Huo'er like she would be taught a lesson in time to come.

Luo Huo'er ignored the small fries of the Eternal Eventide clan. She stroked her delicate chin and she looked at the black chariot of goddess Xi Ye. She muttered to herself, "Three men and three women. That will be interesting."

With Chi Zhuiyun's challenge posed, a total of five factions had gathered here — the Luo clan, the White Fox clan, the World Margin Sect, the Eternal Eventide Sea, and the originator, the Oracle Fey Kingdom.

There happened to be three men and three women — Yi Yun, Chi Zhuiyun, Tianya Haoyue, Luo Huo'er, Princess White Fox and goddess Xi Ye.

Now, the five factions were gathered in the area, but the people who truly wielded power like Emperor Luo, Empress Luo, Empress Xuan, and company did not appear.

After all, it was Chi Zhuiyun, a junior who had posed the challenge. In order to maintain their stature, these important figures did not appear in person.

Although they did not appear in person, it did not mean that they were not paying attention to the matter. In fact, the outcome of the battle was enough to make Emperor Luo nervous!

After all, not only did this matter pertain to the Luo clan's dignity, it also had to do with Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple recruitment!

At that moment in time, there was an array set up in the Luo clan royal palace. It projected everything that was happening in the southern desolate mountain plains. Emperor Luo was sitting on his throne while watching it with a heavy expression.

Beside Emperor Luo were various ministers and members of the royal family, who were also starting at the projection intently.

Regardless of the outcome, there was no guarantee that the victor would become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple, but the loser definitely lost all hopes of becoming his disciple!

Why would Felicitous Rain Lord accept a loser as his disciple?

At that moment in time, a red figure flashed in the crowd. With his spear in hand, Chi Zhuiyun appeared above the desolate plains.

Chi Zhuiyun's eyes were bloodshot, and the spear that he held was nine feet nine inches in size. It shimmered with a cold glint of light.

Although he looked ordinary, Chi Zhuiyun had attracted everyone's gaze as he walked towards an empty space.

"He is Chi Zhuiyun, a person recognized by Felicitous Rain Lord."

"As long as he is defeated, the halo that belongs to him would be augmented on us. We would turn famous from a single battle!"

The geniuses gathered on the desolate plains murmured in a discussion.

Although there was great allure in defeating Chi Zhuiyun, everyone knew that it was very difficult to defeat him.

In fact, most people did not expect themselves to defeat Chi Zhuiyun. As long as they demonstrated their strength at this event and stood in the limelight, they would gain the attention of the alliance, even if they failed to gain the attention of Felicitous Rain Lord.

After Chi Zhuiyun appeared, he stood mid air without a word.

At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared beside him.

The middle-aged man was wearing a black robe and he looked highly-spirited. He was the Oracle Fey Kingdom ambassador deployed to the Luo clan — Yu Tianfeng.

Yi Yun obviously remembered him. Back when they were summoned by Emperor Luo, Yu Tianfeng was sitting on a seat of honor just second to Emperor Luo.

"Everyone!" Yu Tianfeng spoke. "Zhuiyun's issuance of a challenge was only for him to meet the young elites of the alliance, but we never expected that it would cause such a stir. With so many of you gathered here, we have really troubled everyone." Yu Tianfeng said with a chuckle, as though he sounded apologetic. However, even a blind man could tell that he was complacent with the sensational result.

"What does he mean meeting the young elites of the alliance? It's obvious that he wants to trample on us to go higher." Someone grumbled in private. Yu Tianfeng sure was thick-skinned.

Yu Tianfeng ignored what was on the people's minds. He continued, "With so many people here today at the southern desolate mountain plains, there are true dragons and phoenixes amongst you, but there are also shams. It is impossible to allow any random person to challenge Zhuiyun. Neither does he have the time and effort to do so. The person challenged will not only be limited to Zhuiyun. Other than my Oracle Fey Kingdom, all the factions present are free to spar with each other, but there are two points!"

"Every person is only given one chance at failure. Upon failure, they are not to fight again! And secondly... every faction is limited to having one person challenge Zhuiyun, not one more."

Yu Tianfeng's voice echoed throughout the southern desolate mountain plains, and when everyone heard this, they frowned.

Who did Yu Tianfeng think he was!?

What did he mean random person or shams? Although he had not explicitly referred to anyone, it was rather harsh on the ears on those who knew that they lacked the strength.

He was only an ambassador of the Oracle Fey Kingdom. If not for Felicitous Rain Lord owing a debt to Oracle Fey Kingdom's Imperial Patriarch, Yu Tianfeng would have been nothing!

With respects to challenging Chi Zhuiyun, for the southern desolate mountain plains to have these many elites gathered here, they were clearly here because of Chi Zhuiyun's challenge, but they were not here to challenge Chi Zhuiyun.

Now, with what Yu Tianfeng said, it was as though everyone was lining up to challenge Chi Zhuiyun. Who did Chi Zhuiyun think he was!? Ignoring the fact that Chi Zhuiyun was still not established as the number one person amongst the alliance's younger generation, even if he were the number one person, was it possible that prideful people like Tianya Haoyue and goddess Xi Ye would line up to challenge him? They would not want to degrade their stature.

"What we do here is none of your business!"

"Do you think that this is a martial arts tournament? Are you the organizer? Why are you announcing the rules here!?"

There were chaotic shouts in the crowd. Clearly, they did not give a damn about what Yu Tianfeng had said.

True Martial World - Chapter 932: No need for Reason

Upon hearing Luo Huo'er's shout, Yi Yun rubbed his forehead. Luo Huo'er always had an explosive streak and she did everything on a whim. She was a princess after all, while the two members of the Eternal Eventide Sea probably enjoyed a status that was beneath Luo Mo’s. Even Ye Yi, who enjoyed a slightly higher status than his two companions, was obviously inferior to Luo Huo'er.

Their conversation could have been ignored actually. As a princess, there was no need for Luo Huo'er to be bothered about them. Yi Yun did not expect Luo Huo'er to directly hurl invectives at the members of the Eternal Eventide Sea, annoying them as a result.

They did not know Luo Huo'er's identity. The only thing to blame would be on Luo Huo'er because she did not like having a royal entourage. Typically, princes and princesses would have a grand procession, with plebeians being shooed aside. They were not like Luo Huo'er, who would enter a crowd after changing into any random set of clothes. How the hell would anyone know who she was?

"Which witless lass is she, for her to be squawking so much? Could it be that the both of you are from the Luo clan?"

The speaking man had a look of disdain on his face. As he spoke, he continued drinking his tea.

The other young man glanced at Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er's clothes. With a judgment in mind, he guffawed, "Hahaha! They really are from the Luo clan. Why? Did my words hit a soft spot? From what I know, the Luo clan only has a Princess Purple Spirit that's fairly alright. And beneath her, there's some Yun guy. They only have two people. They are nothing impressive when compared to our Eternal Eventide clan."

Some Yun guy?

When Yi Yun heard this, he stroked his chin with a strange look on his face. Was his existence that poor?

He turned his head and he saw Luo Huo'er stopping herself from bursting out in laughter when she heard them. She looked like she was enjoying the pleasure derived from his misfortune.

Yi Yun shook his head helplessly. The large clans were limited in their understanding of each other's talents. The Eternal Eventide clan had probably heard of Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er only when they arrived in the Luo clan.

A smile harboring evil designs hung on Luo Huo'er's face. She produced a conjuration using her fingers and flicked it.

Seeing Luo Huo'er no longer speaking, the two disciples of the Eternal Eventide Sea chuckled and they continued drinking their tea.

However, they never expected that as they drank their tea…

"Ah!"

The Eternal Eventide Sea disciples suddenly leaped up three feet high, like they had drunk poison. Their bodies convulsed violently as they held their hands on their necks. Their faces were flushed red as their eyes nearly popped out.

They opened their mouths in an attempt to spit the tea out, but the tea had long vanished. What they spat out were flames.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

The flames burned at an extremely high temperature. Be it the tea table or the ground, a hole had been burned through them whenever the flames touched them!

"Hot! Hot!" An Eternal Eventide Sea disciple shouted in a muffled voice. "My tongue! Tongue!"

"Tongue?" Luo Huo'er feigned a look of surprise. "Tsk tsk tsk, oh my. Your tongue seems to be well-done... Barbecue pig's tongue. What you said earlier shows how witty your tongue is. Why are you so hard on yourself to go so far as to burn your own tongue?"

Luo Huo'er was one who never spared her words to infuriate others to the grave. Yi Yun watched secretly on the side in horror. This demonic lass was really not to be trifled with. The conjuration that Luo Huo'er had produced had flown into the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples' tea cup in an undetectable manner. As a result, they had drunk the fire-elemental conjuration.

Just the two conjurations had resulted in such terrifying damage. Luo Huo'er's insights into fire-elemental laws had truly reached the crest of perfection.

Yi Yun estimated that the two poor souls would probably lose their tongues. A devilish girl like Luo Huo'er would not hold back. The flames were not ordinary either. Yi Yun could discern that the flames were like tarsal maggots through the Purple Crystal's vision. The flames had pervasive energies, so the duo's protective Yuan Qi was completely insufficient to resist her conjurations.

Not only were their tongues damaged, even their oral cavities were burnt badly. Although they could be restored with heavenly treasures, it would result in them not being to eat or speak for several months. Furthermore, the cost of the heavenly treasures was not a small sum.

"Witch, I'll… I'll kill you!"

The two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples endured the pain as they shouted. Luo Huo'er gave a disdainful scoff. She nonchalantly picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table and flicked them.

"Whew! Whew!"

The two chopsticks flew straight at the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples like arrows!

Seeing the chopsticks flying at them, the Yuan Qi of the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples burst out as they punched out while enduring their pain!

Boom!

Energy blasted outwards like a volcanic eruption. Even divine wood grown for a hundred thousand years would be shattered into wood chips by the two punches, let alone a pair of ordinary wooden chopsticks!

However, the pair of chopsticks were extraordinary in Luo Huo'er's hands. At the instant that she flicked them, she had embedded laws into them. Now, the pair of chopsticks were flickering with fire-elemental runes on the surface as they exuded a mysterious air to them.

The highly-compressed fire-elemental energies caused the pair of chopsticks to ignite. Like two meteors, they streaked towards the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples!

"Peng! Peng!"

With the sound of two explosive blasts, the punch blasts from the duo were penetrated! Immediately following that, fire surged at their faces without any resistance.

The inferno blast apart, sending the duo flying back. Their hair was burnt and flared in all directions. Their faces were completely black from the ashes.

"This is… "

Many people had witnessed the battle in the makeshift tea hut. They had seen the Eternal Eventide Sea disciples provoke the red-dressed girl before she attacked them. In a few short seconds, she had beaten them so badly that even their parents would not be able to identify them.

Who was the girl dressed in red?

At that moment, the young man, who had an accessory that resembled a black pair of wings hanging on his neck, stood up. He shattered his tea cup by tapping on it. The tea did not spill, but it was wrapped in Yuan Qi, as the concoction spun in mid air.

The young man tapped it gently once again and the tea split into two clear streams and entered the two Eternal Eventide Sea disciples' mouths.

The fires was extinguished by the tea, but their tongues were already burnt to a crisp.

They groaned in pain on the ground, while Luo Huo'er looked at the young man. She had heard the two disciples addressing him as Senior Brother Ye Yi.

Although Ye Yi was relatively strong, he was clearly not the strongest person in the Eternal Eventide clan. Luo Huo'er gave Ye Yi a lazy glance and said, "Using a bit of water to extinguish my fire? Are you trying to flaunt your attainment in water-elemental laws?" Luo Huo'er said in derision.

Ye Yi said coldly, "For your fire-elemental laws to attain such a standard, you must be illustrious in the Luo clan, but... the two of them had only offended you with words, aren't you going too far by harming them to such an extent?"

"You can consider me to be rather benevolent. I helped them burn their tongues because their wagging tongues were too long. In many places and many occasions, uttering the wrong words can result in death!" Luo Huo'er said nonchalantly, with a faint dominance in her tone. Even Ye Yi was overshadowed by her dominance.

"In a warrior's world, it is nothing rare for a misspoken sentence to result in death. Many people are killed even without saying a word. There is no need for reason, and the reason is simply because... you are not stronger than the person who is killing you."

While saying this, Luo Huo'er stood up as she played with the pair of chopsticks in her hand... noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

True Martial World - Chapter 931: Eternal Eventide Sea

As the date of Chi Zhuiyun's challenge loomed, all of the Luo clan royal capital's hotels and motels were filled to the brim with people. People could not even obtain a room, despite the amount of wealth they had. Many warriors ended up meditating on the southern desolate mountain plains, as they waited for the event to begin.

Some warriors even began to construct houses on the southern desolate mountain plains or they even began to erect their immortal abodes. Instantly, the uninhabited southern desolate mountain plains began to bustle. It was like a city was built overnight.

Now, the battle was no longer just a matter pertaining to the Luo clan and the White Fox clan. More and more people were embroiled in the matter, with many hoping to become famous from a single battle so they could gain Felicitous Rain Lord's attention.

"Zhuiyun, there are many people targeting you. You being in the limelight has now made you a target to become a stepping stone." Yu Tianfeng said to Chi Zhuiyun as they sat in the Oracle Fey Kingdom's Ambassador Palace.

As an ambassador of the Oracle Fey Kingdom, Yu Tianfeng was very pleased to see Chi Zhuiyun cause such a stir in the Luo clan royal capital. This was a manifestation of the power that the Oracle Fey Kingdom had.

Chi Zhuiyun was sitting on a futon meditating. A nine-foot spear was silently floating in front of him.

"These people want to trample over me to gain fame, but that saves me the trouble. I was planning on going to the other factions and have a nice meeting with each and every one of them. Now it's even better, it can be done once and for all."

As he spoke, Chi Zhuiyun grabbed the spear. The cold sheen on the spear flashed in the darkness of space, like it was a fleeting star that appeared in the night sky before disappearing.

The spear's name was Bloodthirst, a name that originated from Chi Zhuiyun's Dao Domain.

Chi Zhuiyun looked up at the battle arena in the desolate plains. His eyes flashed with fighting spirit.

"I will definitely gain your recognition. I know that a simple bout alone might not be enough to let you think otherwise of me even if I were to defeat everyone, but that is only just the beginning. I will definitely make you take me in as a disciple."

As Chi Zhuiyun spoke, his figure flashed. Like a meteor that streaked through the sky, he flew towards the southern desolate mountain plains.

...

"Little Yun, stop staying in reclusion. You've been in there for so many days. It's turmoil out here, yet you are still in there. Hurry up and come out!"

Yi Yun had just undergone a bloody battle in the Heavenly Slaughter Array when he heard Luo Huo'er calling him from outside.

Yi Yun thought. Turmoil?

He walked out of the Heavenly Slaughter Array and he saw that Luo Huo'er was beaming, like she was extremely excited.

"What's the matter?"

"There's no time to explain. Hurry up and follow me. I'll tell you along the way!"

How could Luo Huo'er miss such a grand event that happened so rarely in the Luo clan?

When Yi Yun accompanied Luo Huo'er to the southern desolate mountain plains, he was astounded by what he saw.

Was this the legendary southern desolate mountain plains? There were too many people here!

Not only was there a large number of warriors. Houses, immortal abodes, and even hotels were erected on the plains.

To warriors, buying a portable abode was not expensive. With more people gathering, it was only natural that businessmen began to open restaurants. They just needed to erect a mobile abode on the desolate plains.

"Oh? There are quite a number of humans here… "

Yi Yun seldom saw humans in the Luo clan, while humans were nearly extinct in the White Fox clan. But now, Yi Yun saw several humans wearing black robes. However, they were quite different from the humans in the Tian Yuan world. They had black hair and purple eyes. Their facial features were more prominent and exquisite. They were good looking, regardless of their gender. Furthermore, they wore V-shaped golden accessories on their necks and the accessories had had unknown gems embedded in them. They had quite a mysterious beauty to them.

"They are people from the Eternal Eventide Sea." Luo Huo'er said.

"Are they humans?" Yi Yun asked in surprise.

Luo Huo'er shook her head, "They may look human, but they don't consider themselves to be human. Instead, they call themselves the Chosen of the Divinity. According to the records of the Eternal Eventide Sea, their ancestors were the chosen race of the Divinity. As they continued to multiply in numbers, they barred marriage with other humans in order to ensure that their bloodline wasn't diluted. From their point of view, ordinary humans are people who were abandoned by the Divinity, greatly inferior to their nobility."

"The Chosen of the Divinity?" Yi Yun chuckled. It sounded like a religion from a different world.

"Don't scoff." Luo Huo'er could tell what was on Yi Yun's mind. "They are quite capable. The Eternal Eventide Sea's strength is in no way weaker than the Luo clan. Although they are of equal strength, there are only a few million members in the Eternal Eventide Sea."

"Oh? A few million?" Yi Yun was taken aback. How many people did the Luo clan have? The population numbered a trillion with 196 states, the royal capital, and the large family clans at least.

The Eternal Eventide Sea only had a few million people, but its strength was comparable to the Luo clan's?

Yi Yun knew that in a warrior's world, the number of people had little impact on strength. What truly mattered was the number and quality of mighty figures and geniuses. The former determined the faction's present strength, while the latter determined its future strength.

This meant that the number of mighty figures and geniuses that appeared out of a few million people in the Eternal Eventide Sea was comparable to the number produced by the Luo clan's population that numbered a trillion!

Yi Yun saw a few people from the Eternal Eventide Sea and indeed, amongst their younger generation, Heaven Ascension perfection and Dao Manifestation were the common cultivation realms. Furthermore, their auras were converged, making them seem unfathomably strong.

Under the same conditions, to be able to achieve this stage in the Luo clan meant a chance of entering the Luo Divine Hall trials. And this qualification was one in a billion!

The Eternal Eventide Sea was not a power to be belittled.

With this thought in mind, he saw a few young men from the Eternal Eventide Sea drinking tea while chatting in a makeshift tea hut.

"Who does that Chi Zhuiyun think he is? After merely winning a few battles in the Luo clan and beating a few tiny factions in a trial, he dares to claim that he will sweep the alliance!? What a joke. With our Eternal Eventide Sea here, we will teach him a lesson!"

"That's right, our Eternal Eventide's goddess is peerless. Chi Zhuiyun is nothing. The Oracle Fey Kingdom relies on the massive number of people that it has and they choose one or two geniuses that can barely make it from that number. That's how they prevent themselves from having too few geniuses."

"As for the Luo clan, it's even worse. I heard that the Luo clan takes in any type of people. They can be Earth Fey, human, or even someone from the lower realms! How much distrust do they have of their bloodline? Despite having such a model, the ratio of geniuses that they have is just pathetic. Furthermore, the people that are selected aren't impressive either. There's no need to even talk about our Eternal Eventide goddess, just the two of us can reign supreme in the Luo clan. As for Senior Brother Ye Yi, he will be ranked top three in the Luo clan."

Ye Yi, who the two youths from the Eternal Eventide clan were talking about, was sitting in the middle of the two.

Ye Yi looked young with black hair that cascaded down his body like a waterfall. He had the beauty of a woman and jade like fingers that were long and slender.

He was a beautiful young man with extremely exquisite looks. The accessory across his chest were different from the others. Unlike the V-shape ones that the others had, his accessory was a black pair of wings. It seemed like he enjoyed a different status.

Ye Yi did not comment on the duo's compliments, but Luo Huo'er could not stand hearing this.

"I was wondering where the two toads came from. Black all over, and their croaks are so harsh on the ears!"

"Oh!?" With Luo Huo'er's words fading away, the two men from the Eternal Eventide Sea, who had just spoken, immediately looked at Luo Huo'er!

True Martial World - Chapter 930: Elites Assembled

More than a million people had witnessed the battle in the Luo clan royal capital, including eminent figures like Prince Crimson Firmament and Bai Yueqing.

Seeing Chu Yunjian being defeated, Bai Yueqing felt like he had been punched in the face.

Chu Yunjian, who he counted on, had been defeated!

"Brother Yunjian!"

Bai Yueqing's figure flashed and arrived beside Chu Yunjian to hold on to him.

It had to be said that although Bai Yueqing was an arrogant person, he was still a person who showed concern to his subordinates. At that moment in time, it could be said that he should have been ashamed since his subordinate, Chu Yunjian, had been defeated by someone who was at a lower realm than him in front of a million people. However, as heir to the White Fox clan's throne, Bai Yueqing stood beside Chu Yunjian and they would weather the adversity together.

"I'm fine." Chu Yunjian looked at Bai Yueqing with a wry smile. "Your Highness, I have disappointed you… "

Chu Yunjian felt ashamed, but Bai Yueqing waved his hand and said, "Victory and defeat are both common in battle. You do not need to feel remorse. It's only that Chi Zhuiyun… "

Bai Yueqing looked at Chi Zhuiyun as the corners of his mouth twitched. Chi Zhuiyun's strength had far exceeded his imagination. A Dao Domain that could influence a million people was astounding to begin with.

It was no wonder that Chi Zhuiyun, a warrior at the half-step Dao Manifestation realm that was able to cultivate his Dao Domain to such a standard, had gained Felicitous Rain Lord's recognition.

"It's a Dao Domain that is related to massacres… " Chu Yunjian said. "In his Dao Domain, my heart of the sword was affected, like the Dao Domain had triggered my mental demons."

Thinking back to his experienced inside the Dao Domain, Chu Yunjian's heart was still fluttering with fear.

He looked at Chi Zhuiyun, while Chi Zhuiyun also looked back at him.

Chu Yunjian had been cultivating for a hundred years. He had always surpassed his peers, but now, he had been defeated by someone at a lower realm than him. In addition, in time to come, the gap between him and Chi Zhuiyun would only grow wider.

"In ten days time, I, Chi Zhuiyun, will challenge any young elite of the White Fox clan and Luo clan on these grounds! Whoever has the confidence, come here, and I'll accept your challenge."

After Chi Zhuiyun said this, he left in a beam of light. Luo Sha and Demon Girl followed him.

The words that he said before he left was heard clearly by a million people.

Chi Zhuiyun had challenged the entire Luo clan and White Fox clan!

If the young elites of the Luo clan and White Fox clan were wiped out by a single person, the warriors from both clans would lose a great deal of prestige.

Bai Yueqing's eyelids twitched. Prince Crimson Firmament had moved beside Chu Yunjian. "Brother Yunjian, in your opinion, will Princess Xue'er be able to defeat Chi Zhuiyun?"

With Chu Yunjian defeated, the White Fox clan still had Princess Xue'er!

Chu Yunjian shook his head, "I can't predict it. Princess Xue'er's talent surpasses mine, but… she's still too young. Her cultivation level is only at the Heaven Ascension perfection realm, slightly inferior to Chi Zhuiyun's, while I've lost despite being at the early stages of the Dao Manifestation realm. It will probably not be easy for Princess Xue'er to beat Chi Zhuiyun."

Chu Yunjian did not speak with certainty. After all, he could not predict the extent to which Princess White Fox had attained. "However... I have a feeling that during my battle with Chi Zhuiyun, he was not using his full strength. He has more powerful moves that he did not use… "

When Chu Yunjian said this, Bai Yueqing and Prince Crimson Firmament felt their hearts skip a beat. The present generation of the Luo clan and White Fox clan were filled with talent. Princess White Fox and Luo Huo'er, as well as Yi Yun, were the ones with most promise to become Supremacies. Although Prince Crimson Firmament abhorred Yi Yun, he could not deny Yi Yun's talent.

Such young talent from the Luo clan and White Fox clan was going to be wiped out by a single person?

If that happened, the Luo clan and White Fox clan would undoubtedly be dwarfed by others in the alliance against the Fey Phantasm Sect.

"Let's hope Xue'er can give us a pleasant surprise… " Bai Yueqing muttered to himself as he shook his head.

The million spectators left the desolate plains and they returned to the royal capital. In less than a day, the news proliferated throughout the royal capital.

Chu Yunjian had been defeated, while Chi Zhuiyun had challenged all of the young elites of the Luo clan and White Fox clan!

It instantly caused quite a stir in the Luo clan royal capital!

People were only aware that Chi Zhuiyun came from the Oracle Fey Kingdom and that he was very powerful, but they never expected him to be so powerful, powerful enough for him to leapfrog a level to defeat Chu Yunjian.

Furthermore, his extremely conceited challenge had forced the Luo clan and the White Fox clan into a corner.

They could not lose. If two large sects were to lose to a single person, the Luo clan and White Fox clan would lose all face.

...

"Oh? Chu Yunjian was defeated?" In Fenghua Palace, Dong'er hurriedly informed Luo Huo'er about the news, but Dong'er never expected for Luo Huo'er to begin clapping when she heard the news. "That Chu Yunjian is such a cocky person. I met him back when Father summoned us. I could have turned a blind eye if it was only Chu Yunjian, but his boss, that male fox, had eyes so high that they were stuck on the top of their heads like they reigned supreme. Serves him right for being defeated!"

When Luo Huo'er said this, Dong'er was completely dumbfounded.

The young lass blinked her flickering large eyes as she looked at Luo Huo'er.

Be it people from the Luo clan or the White Fox clan, they would become extremely vexed when they heard hearing the news, afraid that the young elites of their respective clans would be wiped out by Chi Zhuiyun alone. But Princess Huo'er was on a completely different frequency.

"Princess, aren't you worried?" Even the dull-witted Dong'er began to worry that the Luo clan would lose to Chu Yunjian.

"What's there to worry? If he wants a fight, he'll get one!" Luo Huo'er said nonchalantly.

As she said that, her lips suffused a sneer. "That Chi Zhuiyun thinks that he can create a standard by himself so that Felicitous Rain Lord would understand that he is a true genius. He also wants to let other factions in the alliance know that those weaker who are than him aren't even qualified to vie for the spot of Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple. It can make him famous and it can also benefit him. He sure has an ingenious plan."

Princess knows so much…

Dong'er blinked as she pondered. She asked in a staccato manner, "Then… Princess, you are certain that you can defeat Chi Zhuiyun, right?"

Luo Huo'er's beautiful eyes glanced at her. "How would I know without fighting him!?"

"… "

If you don't know, why are you appearing so bold and self-assured!?

"Don't worry. There are many others who can't sit idle, such as my brother and that male fox. I'll just watch the show for now. However, why isn't Little Yun out of reclusion yet? I'm thinking of watching the good show with him." said Luo Huo'er.

Yi Yun had been in the Heavenly Slaughter Array for more than ten days.

If this were any ordinary reclusion, ten days was nothing. Even more than a decade was no big deal.

However, the Heavenly Slaughter Array was different. In there, he would have to face endless massacres.

To be embroiled in killing for more than ten days, especially with those insane figures from the Fey Phantasm Sect, a typical person would not have last so long.

And Yi Yun's reclusion continued on for another ten consecutive days without any signs of him coming out.

And by then, it was the day that Chi Zhuiyun had scheduled his challenge to battle the geniuses of the Luo clan and White Fox clan!

The matter brewed throughout the period that spanned less than a month. After all, the ambassadors of the factions that made up the alliance were still in the royal capital, so they obviously knew about the matter. In addition, the matter had to do with Felicitous Rain Lord's recruitment of a disciple, so they had used various channels to spread the news. In about ten days, Chi Zhuiyun's name had become famous in the entire alliance!

People from large factions like the World Margin Sect, Cloud Trail Empire, and Eternal Eventide Sea had rushed to the Luo clan in less than a month.

The people came from the other factions of the alliance for a myriad of reasons. Some were here to catch the buzz, eager to see Chi Zhuiyun sweep the Luo clan’s and the White Fox clan’s elites. There were also young elites from other factions that had their sights on Chi Zhuiyun. Therefore, many people had gathered in the Luo clan royal capital.

After all, there were many people who wanted to become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple. These people had also learned that Chi Zhuiyun was a person who had received an approving nod from Felicitous Rain Lord. If they defeated Chi Zhuiyun, wouldn't that mean they would obtain the recognition of Felicitous Rain Lord? They might even become a disciple of Felicitous Rain Lord!

Instantly, the Luo clan royal capital was like a raging storm with many elites assembled! Emperor Luo, as well as the royal family of the White Fox clan, were stirred by this matter. Many people came because this battle determined the pride of the Luo clan and White Fox clan.

Under such circumstances, Yi Yun faded from prominence. After all, the matter had reached a massive scale. There were too many people to pay attention to. Not only Yi Yun, even the attention on Luo Huo'er and Princess White Fox had diminished.

True Martial World - Chapter 929: Chuyun’s Battle

"Buzz——"

Accompanying resonating sounds that gave one a chill, the black worms flew out of the Fey Phantasm Sect elder's body like a black storm and flew straight at Yi Yun.

There were thousands of worms, and it was unclear how they were stored in the Fey Phantasm Sect elder's thin frame.

"Thousand Snow Domain!"

With a thought, 999 flying sabers materialized around him. The saber array clashed with the black worms as swaths of black worms were sliced apart by the flying sabers.

In the Heavenly Slaughter Array, the flying sabers used by Yi Yun were standard issue weapons of the Luo clan, not the original Thousand Snow flying sabers. Therefore, when they were stained by the worms' blood, they lost a lot of their agility, as they showed signs of being corroded.

Interesting!

With another thought, a three-legged Golden Crow flew out from behind him. The power of pure Yang surged into his sword which he slashed out. A burning inferno befell as though the sun was descending, burning the worms to a crisp wherever the tongues of the burning flames licked.

The sword beam pierced through the swarm of worms, straight for the thin elder's throat!

At that moment, the Fey Phantasm Sect elder had a cold sneer on his face. A large black mist burst out from the front of his chest and after gaining freedom from the Fey Phantasm Sect elder, it streamed straight at Yi Yun!

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

They were ten forbidding black bone needles!

Each bone needle was as long as a forearm, as though each one had a life of its own. As they drew out twisted black trajectories in the sky, they shot at Yi Yun.

Seeing the bone needles, a thought flashed across Yi Yun's mind. Since the bone needles came from the elder's chest, were they refined from the elder's rib bones? The Fey Phantasm Sect's cultivation techniques were strange and appalling. He would definitely have suffered if he was taken by surprise by such attacks.

The elder's bone needles sealed Yi Yun's sword off and any path he could use to dodge them. A cruel smile suffused across the elder's face, as though he had already seen Yi Yun's terrible death.

Yi Yun did not retreat and he accelerated instead. Yuan Qi spread out as the nomological fragments of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence augmented his sword. Instantly, a golden light blasted straight into the bone needles.

Boom!

Yi Yun's figure went from extreme motion to extreme stillness as the bone needles were minced by the sword.

A thousand-foot sword beam tore through the void, penetrating the thin elder's body!

Yi Yun flew with his sword in hand as he angled the sword tip to the ground. As for the Fey Phantasm Sect elder, he stood motionless on the spot. A huge gaping hole had appeared in his chest. His innards looked as though they had been burned by lava, but what flowed wasn't lava, it was boiling blood.

The Fey Phantasm Sect elder was reduced to flying ash after he issued a vicious and indignant cry.

Yi Yun exhaled slightly. The sword from before looked simple, but it was a sword move that Yi Yun had come up in the eighteen years he spent in the Primordial Space.

The 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was something that he could not fully wield, but being able to use the laws in the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence flexibly gave Yi Yun's sword moves a power that made them completely different from before.

It could be considered that Yi Yun had created his own Sword Dao.

The deeper he went into the Purple Crystal, the more the images he saw from the Purple Crystal's memories made him marvel at the complex martial paths and the grandness of the world.

Previously, before seeking an audience with Emperor Luo, someone had said that the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was only a mystic technique, which made it impossible to be condensed into a Dao fruit. However, as a cultivator of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, Yi Yun knew very well that this was not just a mystic technique. Yi Yun was looking forward to what the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence would condense into when he truly stepped into the Dao Manifestation realm.

"Continue!" Yi Yun faced his next opponent, knowing nothing about what happened in the outside world.

At that moment, the southern desolation mountain plains were filled with people. Everyone was here to witness the battle of Chi Zhuiyun and Chu Yunjian.

One was an Oracle Fey Kingdom disciple that suddenly arrived to instantly wipe out the Luo and White Fox clan disciples, while the other was a space-time swordsman, who had long established his name.

The people who came to watch the battle were basically members of the Luo clan and the White Fox clan. They hadn’t heard about Chi Zhuiyun much, but they had long heard of Chu Yunjian's fame.

Chi Zhuiyun had challenged the famous Chu Yunjian, and with him being a realm lower, they were here to see how Chi Zhuiyun would pay the price for his arrogance.

However, no one was happy when they truly witnessed the battle process.

The intense battle had been going on for fifteen minutes, but the scene that they imagined of Chu Yunjian trampling Chi Zhuiyun did not happen.

Indeed, Chi Zhuiyun looked as though he was suppressed by Chu Yunjian's keen sword moves. He defended more than he attacked, as though he was steadily losing ground, but he remained unbeaten.

As this went on, the audience turned anxious, like it was just shy of the final shove that would determine the outcome.

"Is that all you have? This is all your strength?" During the intense stormy battle, Chi Zhuiyun suddenly spoke. His words were extremely clear as sword and spear clashed. It could be heard throughout the desolate plains.

"Oh?" Chu Yunjian's sword-like eyebrows pricked up.

"If that is the case, I'm very disappointed. A White Fox clan genius at the early stages of the Dao Manifestation is nothing much after all." As Chi Zhuiyun said this, the Yuan Qi around him changed.

It turned rich with bloodlust that even people dozens of kilometers away could sense it.

It was like they had entered hell. Wherever their eyes landed, it was a gray background. Crimson clouds filled the sky, burgeoning to a point of them bleeding blood. And the ground was now filled with rugged rocks, with minced meat hanging on them. The ground was scattered with bone fragments.

It was a Shura battleground!

Dao Domain? This was Chi Zhuiyun's Dao Domain?

People had heard that Chi Zhuiyun had used his Dao Domain to gain Felicitous Rain Lord's attention, allowing him to be summoned by Felicitous Rain Lord.

Now, with his Dao Domain being activated, it had immersed a million warriors within it, and it was like they had all fallen into a trance.

A so-called Dao Domain was actually a tiny world formed by laws.

In the Universe, before every boundless world was formed, the laws were first fixed in place.

Chaos evolved into Yin-Yang and space-time, before forming the five elements, followed by all matter.

When a warrior's nomological insight reached a certain realm, they could create worlds. Of course, creating a world was impossible for a Dao Manifestation realm warrior. They could only create a domain.

A Dao Domain's effects were very limited, but to be able to influence a million people instantly like what Chi Zhuiyun had done was quite astounding!

"It's over. As long as you are within my Dao Domain, no one at the same realm as me can undertake my spear. Your cultivation realm may surpass me, and you may have insights into space-time Great Dao, but unfortunately, your space-time laws did not integrate themselves. You are not my match." As Chi Zhuiyun spoke, he thrust his spear out!

All the bloodlust and killing aura in the Dao Domain gathered around his spear as it swept towards Chu Yunjian.

Chu Yunjian's eyes flashed.

"Even if my space-time laws did not integrate themselves, it is still enough!"

Space-time Sword Dao — River of time!

In the sky, a surging river appeared out of nowhere. One of the 12 Fey Gods of ancient times — River of Forgetfulness. Its manifestation was that of a river of time.

The river of time that Chu Yunjian cast was far inferior to the standard of the River of Forgetfulness, but it had reached a nascent stage.

A sword went upstream against the river of time, like a swimming fish in the river that stabbed straight at Chi Zhuiyun's throat!

Chi Zhuiyun's expression turned cold. The spear that he wielded thrust out like a flood dragon in the river!

Boom!

The desolate plains rumbled as the million warriors felt the surging bloodlust. Their vision turned a deep shade of red.

They tried their best to widen their eyes to focus, but all they saw in the sky was Chi Zhuiyun. Standing mid air with spear in hand, he looked cold.

As for Chu Yunjian, he had been pushed dozens of kilometers back. Although he was also flying mid air, his robes were stained with blood and his face was pale. He could not curb the trembling of his sword-wielding hand.

Upon seeing this scene, all of the million warriors in the desolate plains fell silent.

Chu Yunjian had been defeated? This was not a life-and-death battle. It was just a challenge. Being defeated by one strike was also defeat.

Chu Yunjian had been suppressing Chi Zhuiyun from the very beginning, with victory at hand. However, the moment that Chi Zhuiyun's Dao Domain appeared, the outcome of the battle was reversed. The audience never expected that. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

A Dao Manifestation warrior... and a White Fox clan genius at that that had lost to Chi Zhuiyun, who was at the half-step Dao Manifestation realm.

True Martial World - Chapter 928: Yi Yun in the Heavenly Slaughter Array

"Oh? Chi Zhuiyun wants to challenge Chu Yunjian!?"

In Crimson Firmament Palace, Bai Yueqing, Prince Crimson Firmament, and Chu Yunjian were drinking wine when they heard the news.

Chu Yunjian was Bai Yueqing’s subordinate, and in the White Fox clan, Chu Yunjian was regarded by Bai Yueqing as a first-class guest. This allowed Chu Yunjian to sit alone with a friend in a pavilion outside the emperor's palace while waiting to be summoned by Emperor Luo.

In the beginning, Bai Yueqing believed that when the Oracle Fey Kingdom's Chi Zhuiyun came to the Luo clan, he would finally challenge Luo Huo'er and Princess Xue'er, and of course, the best outcome was Luo Huo'er being defeated by Chi Zhuiyun before Xue'er turned the tide.

But they never expected that Chi Zhuiyun had not chosen to challenge Luo Huo'er, but he challenged Chu Yunjian instead.

"That Chi Zhuiyun is way too arrogant!", said a sullen Bai Yueqing before he glanced at Chu Yunjian and added, "Yunjian broke through to the Dao Manifestation several years ago, condensing a sword Dao fruit and space-time Dao fruits. With the space-time Dao fruits having seven leaves, they were of excellent quality. Even if Chi Zhuiyun had condensed a Dao fruit, he was not necessarily superior to you, Yunjian, what more him having yet to reach the Dao Manifestation realm."

As Bai Yueqing spoke, Chu Yunjian shook his head and said, "Your Highness, your humble servant knows his strength very well. That Chi Zhuiyun isn't simple, but he is at half-step Dao Manifestation. Once he manifests his Dao, the Dao fruit that he manifests will definitely surpass me, but... that is after he manifests his Dao. Now, he has yet to manifest his Dao fruit, and he wants to leapfrog and challenge me… "

Chu Yunjian gulped down the glass of wine in hand and he no longer spoke another word.

"Haha! Brother Yueqing, there's no need to be angry. That Chi Zhuiyun may be arrogant, daring to declare that he alone will trample our Luo and White Fox clan. If he had limited it to the Heaven Ascension realm, that would have been fine, but to challenge Brother Yunjian in his first battle, that's good. Brother Yunjian can take the edge off his spirit, letting him know the difference between the Dao Manifestation and the Heaven Ascension realm!"

Prince Crimson Firmament and Bai Yueqing were allies. Both of them supported each other in order to support their respective inheritance of the throne.

Now, with Chi Zhuiyun challenging Chu Yunjian, Prince Crimson Firmament would be very happy to see Chu Yunjian repress Chi Zhuiyun.

The news of Chi Zhuiyun battling Chu Yunjian had caused a great sensation in the Luo clan royal capital. Chi Zhuiyun and company had already been in the Luo clan royal capital for more than ten days. The royal capital was not given a breather in those days because there was a huge battle every other day!

A battle between the best amongst geniuses was an exciting event, what more it had the Luo clan and White Fox clan's honor on the line.

The venue of Chu Yunjian and Chi Zhuiyun's battle was decided to be on the southern desolate mountain plains in the western suburbs of the royal capital.

The southern desolate mountain plains were several million kilometers wide, and due to the sparse population, it was a venue where many warriors used to spar. On this day, at the brink of dawn, groups of warriors flew out of the royal capital and rushed to the southern desolate mountain plains. Soon, the expansive desolate plains were filled with hundreds of thousands of people.

"There's so many people!"

"It hasn't even begun. Once the battle begins, the number of people might even increase several-fold!"

...

While Chi Zhuiyun and Chu Yunjian's battle was ongoing, Yi Yun had been in reclusive cultivation in the Heavenly Slaughter Array for more than ten days.

The Heavenly Slaughter Array was truly an eye-opening experience for Yi Yun. Compared to the battles against the Ancient Fey in the Fey Refining Rock array, fighting against warriors and the situations that he encountered were multifarious in nature. Especially with the warriors being Fey Phantasm Sect disciples captured by the Luo clan, they were perfectly restored through soul-refining methods, both in terms of their combat techniques and the laws they cultivated.

And the opponents that Yi Yun chose were from the younger generation of the Fey Phantasm Sect. There were also many low-class Fey Phantasm Sect disciples that were stuck in the Dao Manifestation for several years. Even if he chose disciples from the younger generation, they were not formidable geniuses of the Fey Phantasm Sect. True Fey Phantasm Sect geniuses would typically not be caught alive by the Luo clan.

As such, when Yi Yun chose his opponents, he would bias it to those who were at the mid-stages of the Dao Manifestation or even higher.

He was already at the Heaven Ascension perfection realm, and since his opponents were not geniuses, it was meaningless to battle cultivators below the Dao Manifestation realm.

With a flash of light, more than a dozen figures appeared in front of Yi Yun. These people exuded demonic auras. They were all Fey Phantasm Sect disciples, be it their aura or expressions, they were no different from when they were alive.

Yi Yun had experienced such battles for nearly a hundred times over the past couple of days. Under such intense battles, Yi Yun depended on the Purple Crystal to absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to replenish his stamina, allowing Yi Yun to persist. Even Heaven Fey with top bloodlines were far inferior to Yi Yun's Purple Crystal through the endurance that they gained from the power of their bloodline.

The figures charged at Yi Yun and the person who was leading the charge had a gigantic python coiled around him. The python stuck its black tongue out, while its amber pupils were filled with cold killing intent. Back when this Fey Phantasm Sect disciple was refined, the gigantic python had been refined into the Heavenly Slaughter Array along with him.

"Die!"

Without any change in expression, runic patterns flashed on Yi Yun’s sword. With a thrust of his sword, it moved like lightning and penetrated the python's mouth, before piercing the back of its head, straight into its master's throat!

Puah!

Blood splattered as an instant kill was achieved!

A Fey Phantasm Sect disciple at the peak of the early stages of the Dao Manifestation realm was killed easily by Yi Yun like he was chopping vegetables. He did not have the opportunity to use the moves and laws that he had comprehended in life because Yi Yun's sword was just too fast. Furthermore, the sword was augmented by the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence's Dao patterns!

Yi Yun could sustain for prolonged periods of time by using such a combat style, without summoning the entire 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence. He could battle until the end.

The Fey Phantasm Sect disciple that was penetrated by the sword convulsed as he collapsed onto the ground. The hatred and indignant look on his face were probably the same expression that he had when his soul was refined, and it was perfectly displayed once again.

Killing the enemy with one strike, Yi Yun had an indomitable stance. Circulating the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra', sword beams flew in every direction.

Cha! Cha! Cha!

The sword beams interwove in the space in the Heavenly Slaughter Array. Wherever they passed, the demons summoned by the Fey Phantasm Sect disciples, the corpse guardians and the puppets that they refined were all slain!

And at that moment, an opponent at the Dao Manifestation perfection realm appeared in front of Yi Yun.

At the Dao Manifestation perfection realm, he was an entire realm above Yi Yun.

The opponent was an elder who was as thin as bones. He looked like a starving ghost that had crawled out from hell.

Such warriors that were left trapped in the Dao Manifestation their entire lives had limited foundations and nomological insights. However, they could not be underestimated. Dao Manifestation realm warriors had extremely long lives and in their extended lifespans, they would research all sorts of strange battle techniques after knowing that there was no hope for them to make any further breakthroughs. Therefore, they were difficult opponents.

This was a pretty good opportunity for Yi Yun to test his strength.

"Phew–"

The Fey Phantasm Sect elder disrobed himself, exposing his thin body. And his body was covered in black balls.

The black balls were embedded in the thin elder's body. The surface had a black metallic luster. When Yi Yun focused on them, he realized that they were worms, sucking on the Fey Phantasm Sect elder's blood.

Oh?

Yi Yun frowned. This elder was using his blood to feed the worms. It was a repugnant scene.

True Martial World - Chapter 927: Brewing of the Storm

"Jian Zhu! Are you alright!?" Prince Pingnan said as he stood beside Jian Zhu.

Amongst the younger generation of the Luo clan, Prince Pingnan was the oldest, and his cultivation was at the Dao Manifestation perfection realm. He was able to see the process of the entire battle clearly. Luo Sha's use of the ax pole and his energy control exceeded his imagination. It was unknown how he had cultivated such a top body tempering technique.

And compared to Luo Sha, Chi Zhuiyun was obviously much more unfathomable.

Prince Pingnan could tell his cultivation level and it was half-step Dao Manifestation.

Half-step Dao Manifestation was the transitional process when the laws on the Heaven Ascension Dao Tree began to condense together, but the Dao fruit had yet to take form.

The tiny difference in cultivation level was typically nothing for elites like Jian Zhu, but when the opponent was also an elite, it was completely different.

Prince Pingnan suspected that without him, even if all of them joined forces, they were still no match for Chi Zhuiyun.

"Let's go!"

Prince Pingnan stood up, since their stance was lacking in formidability, it was meaningless to for them to stay behind.

Jian Zhu was not willing to be outdone, but he nodded his head.

Before leaving, Prince Pingnan turned to look at Chi Zhuiyun and said, "Today, we may be inferior, but our Luo clan and the White Fox clan are filled with young talent. Gaining victory against us is nothing."

"Heh!" Chi Zhuiyun scoffed as he drank from cup of wine in his hand. "On my trip to the Luo clan, I will be visiting every young elite of the Luo clan and the White Fox clan! However, I believe that very few people are worth getting my hands dirty."

Chi Zhuiyun's words were filled with confidence from beginning to end, but he truly had the power backing his boastful words.

Be it Luo Sha or the girl, who were both beside Chi Zhuiyun, their strength was extraordinary. Jian Zhu was not even able to match any one of them, so if he could not defeat any of the two, there was no reason for Chi Zhuiyun to do anything.

Prince Pingnan's expression sank. "You are planning on trampling on the Luo clan and the White Fox clan so you can to attract Felicitous Rain Lord's attention in order to become his disciple?"

Since Chi Zhuiyun came from the Oracle Fey Kingdom and he was planning on challenging all of the geniuses of the Luo clan and the White Fox clan, his goals were self-evident.

"It won't only be the Luo clan and the White Fox clan, it will be the entire alliance. I know that when all of you learned about Felicitous Rain Lord's intention of finding a disciple, you had the extravagant wish of becoming his disciple, but I will tell you that none of you are qualified. Furthermore, I do not need to use such a method to attract Felicitous Rain Lord's attention. He has already summoned and met me."

Oh? Felicitous Rain Lord's summoning?

Prince Pingnan heart sank. At that moment, the malt-colored skin girl beside Chi Zhuiyun said proudly, "Our young master has already put the elites of several factions in the alliance in their place during our Oracle Fey Kingdom trials. Later on, our young master received Felicitous Rain Lord's summoning and after seeing our young master's Dao Domain, he nodded his head to express his recognition!"

Among all of the young elites in the entire Oracle Fey Kingdom, only Chi Zhuiyun had received Felicitous Rain Lord's recognition by displaying his Great Dao Dao Domain. Any ordinary Dao Domain was obviously insufficient in obtaining Felicitous Rain Lord's recognition, so this meant that Chi Zhuiyun's Dao Domain was far from ordinary.

Prince Pingnan's expression turned ugly. This person wanted to trample on all of the geniuses of the alliance in order to become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple!

With that, the battle was no longer limited to their group and Chi Zhuiyun, it had extended to the entire Luo clan.

This battle could not be lost!

...

When Prince Pingnan, Jian Zhu, and company appeared at the entrance of Luo Water Restaurant, there were several people who had gathered around it. All of them knew about the battle that had taken place on the seventh level of Luo Water Restaurant.

"It's a prince!"

Few people recognized Prince Pingnan, but they recognized the princely robe.

"They are both elites of our Luo clan and the White Fox clan. Who was so dumb to fight them!?"

The crowd discussed in a feverish pitch, but the misunderstanding sounded harsh on Jian Zhu's ears.

The members of the Luo clan obviously believed that their elites were powerful, but the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven was large. There was no limit in the universe.

They could only hope that Princess Purple Spirit could match Chi Zhuiyun…

...

News of the battle that happened at Luo Water Restaurant was quickly spread by people on Luo Water Street. It was unknown who had managed to discover the identity of the opponents, but it was made know that the opponents were from the Oracle Fey Kingdom's younger generation.

If this were ordinary times, it was still a good topic of discussion, but it would not have garnered so much attention.

But now, with a Divine Lord taking in a disciple, a battle amongst elites in the Luo clan royal capital was too eye-catching, especially when it was a battle between the Luo clan and the Oracle Fey Kingdom.

This news proliferated at an astonishing rate.

As the battle process was unseen by the people on Luo Water Street, the information that spread was mostly exaggerated. It resulted in several versions, with the outcome of the battle being uncertain.

However, with the passage of time, news after news spread around the streets!

Indeed, there was someone from the Oracle Fey Kingdom who was challenging the geniuses of the Luo clan and the White Fox clan one after another.

First, it was Luo Mo, who was easily defeated by a genius from the Oracle Fey Kingdom.

Next, it was the Shadow Twins. Nongyue was defeated by a girl from the Oracle Fey Kingdom, while Nongying fought an intense battle for a hundred moves before the battle ended in a draw.

Although it was a draw, the opponent had challenged Nongyue before Nongying, with less than thirty minutes in between the battles. As a result, it was obvious who was superior.

People also began to know the names of the challengers from the Oracle Fey Kingdom. They were Luo Sha, Demon Girl, and Chi Zhuiyun!

The most mysterious one, Chi Zhuiyun, never fought anyone yet, but people heard rumors that Chi Zhuiyun was the only person in the entire alliance who was recognized by Felicitous Rain Lord.

The trip that the Oracle Fey Kingdom took to the Luo clan was only for Chi Zhuiyun to prove his strength!

Xuan Junyue was the fourth person from the Luo clan and White Fox clan to be challenged. He was one of Empress Xuan's men, and he was also the strongest amongst Empress Xuan's family clan's younger generation. Before Yi Yun appeared, Xuan Junyue was the backbone of Empress Xuan's battle with Empress Luo.

During the Luo Divine Hall trials, Xuan Junyue had gone to the White Fox clan and obtained stellar results.

This time, there was finally a piece of good news. After battling Luo Sha for a long time, Xuan Junyue finally managed to defeat him with a slight edge in a tough battle.

However, this only piece of good news was not something that was worth being happy about. This was because Xuan Junyue was older than Luo Sha, and secondly, Chi Zhuiyun had yet to fight!

How powerful was this person who had been recognized by Felicitous Rain Lord?

No one knew for sure.

The White Fox clan and the Luo clan still had Luo Huo'er and Princess White Fox, as well as Yi Yun, who had entered reclusion for eighteen years straight.

They were the final bedrock that the White Fox clan and the Luo clan could rely on. Without a doubt, Chi Zhuiyun would have to fight, and the battles would be the center of attention!

Immediately, the entire Luo clan royal capital was immersed in a calm before the storm. The challenges that the Oracle Fey Kingdom had undertaken were brewing. People were waiting for the arrival of the final battle.

And on this day, news finally came out that Chi Zhuiyun was going to fight.

What caught people by surprise was that he did not challenge Princess White Fox or Luo Huo'er.

But… it was a genius who had been long famous in the White Fox clan — Chu Yunjian!

Chu Yunjian had long stepped into the Dao Manifestation realm, having condensed space-time Dao fruits! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

As for Chi Zhuiyun, he was only in the half-step Dao Manifestation realm.
