True Martial World - Chapter 950: Dao of Destruction

When Chi Zhuiyun collapsed to the ground with his spear in hand, there was silence around the plains despite there being millions of people present!

The spear was still standing, in a proud but bleak manner on the desolate plains, like it was guarding its owner.

Yi Yun was holding the pure Yang broken sword in his hand. His body was covered in blood. Even though all of his energy had been depleted and he was severely injured, he was still suffusing with killing intent! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Chi Zhuiyun had collapsed!

The stunning battle was breathtaking!

This was an epic battle that had shocked the Luo clan, the White Fox clan and the entire alliance!

Yi Yun's final move, the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence that defeated Chi Zhuiyun, made everyone tremble when they recalled it.

Chi Zhuiyun's Celestial Demon Form was powerful. Even a warrior at the Dao Manifestation perfection realm would probably be killed by the attack.

However, Chi Zhuiyun had been defeated in his battle with Yi Yun!

Yi Yun was younger than Chi Zhuiyun, and his cultivation level was lower as well.

It was too terrifying!

"How could... this happen?"

In her seat of honor, Demon Girl looked at Chi Zhuiyun as her charming body quivered.

She had always secretly admired Chi Zhuiyun, but due to the difference in their respective statuses, she had never revealed it.

In her heart, Chi Zhuiyun was invincible.

But today, the legend had been broken!

Chi Zhuiyun's challenge of the Luo clan had ended in him being defeated by Yi Yun, who had leapfrogged him!

This was something unacceptable to Demon Girl.

Chi Zhuiyun had not only been defeated, he had been defeated by a Luo clan genius who was younger than him!

As for Yu Tianfeng, he was feeling distraught.

As the ambassador to the Oracle Fey Kingdom, he was doing as he pleased in the Luo clan because of Felicitous Rain Lord. Even Emperor Luo treated him with respect.

In addition, Chi Zhuiyun, who had gained the approval of Felicitous Rain Lord, was also one of the reasons why Yu Tianfeng was so bold. After all, it was very likely that Chi Zhuiyun would become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple.

But now... Chi Zhuiyun had been defeated!

He suddenly felt like his backbone had been ripped out, and his entire being was flabbergasted.

With a slight probe, he realized that Chi Zhuiyun's lifeforce was constantly being depleted. The strange move that Yi Yun used was still consuming Chi Zhuiyun's lifeforce at this very moment.

This tightened his heart. It was inevitable that having the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence continue to consume the unconscious Chi Zhuiyun's lifeforce, the results would be irreparable losses.

"Zhuiyun!" Yu Tianfeng had a rude awakening as his body flashed, arriving beside Chi Zhuiyun. He placed a palm on Chi Zhuiyun's back.

As an ambassador of the Oracle Fey Kingdom, Yu Tianfeng did not have outstanding talent. He had become an ambassador because of his family background and his nobility. Only when he infused energy into Chi Zhuiyun's body did he realize the terror of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence's Dao patterns.

A force that had already left its owner, Yi Yun, should have been like rootless duckweed. It should have been easy to remove it, but when Yu Tianfeng infused his energy into Chi Zuiyun’s body, the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence had ended up consuming and destroying his energy. It left him momentarily flustered.

Thankfully, Yu Tianfeng wasn't young, so although his talent was mediocre, he still had a high cultivation level.

After a long while, Yu Tianfeng had finally managed to vanquish the destructive force in Chi Zhuiyun's body, causing the Dao patterns of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence to slowly disappear.

"This… " The surrounding warriors had all noticed this scene.

As a warrior of the older generation, Yu Tianfeng had to go through such laborious efforts to remove the remaining energies of a junior's attack?

Regardless of how weak Yu Tianfeng was, he had age on his side. This implied how powerful Yi Yun's 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence's Dao of Destruction was!

What was destruction?

The Dao of Destruction was divided into the Minor Dao of Destruction and the Major Dao of Destruction.

The Minor Dao of Destruction was the destruction of all living creatures, including the destruction of mankind, or even that of minor worlds!

The Minor Dao of Destruction was already extremely obscure and difficult. Without a great opportunity, it was impossible to gain insights into it.

It was ranked as one of the Great Dao in the cosmos alongside Yin-Yang and space-time, above the five elements!

As for the Major Dao of Destruction, it was close to the power of god.

The Universe was created out of Chaos, but after countless years, it would ultimately end in destruction!

The Major Dao of Destruction was how elevated worlds like the 12 Empyrean Heavens would be destroyed, or even the entire universe!

How long would that take? It was impossible to predict.

It should be said that ever since the birth of martial arts, no one had been able to experience the destruction of an elevated world on the level of the 12 Empyrean Heavens. There was no way to even begin probing the Major Dao of Destruction.

The Major Dao of Destruction was ranked alongside the laws of Chaos that created the universe, being almost impossible to find.

There was a peerless mighty figure in the 12 Empyrean Heavens that attempted to gain insights into this Dao, but the destruction of the universe was too distant, so he eventually failed to make any progress.

People believed that the Dao of Destruction contained in Yi Yun's 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was just a Minor Dao of Destruction, but it had to be one of the top grades in the Minor Dao of Destruction.

At that moment, Yu Tianfeng had already carried Chi Zhuiyun and had flown back to the seats of honor.

Chi Zhuiyun was severely injured!

Chi Zhuiyun said that he could not control the power of his final move, which might end up in it being fatal, but so was Yi Yun's!

The 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was something that Yi Yun could not control very well as well. After being struck by it, Chi Zhuiyun would definitely lose a great deal of his lifeblood!

At the moment that Yu Tianfeng landed, he saw Luo Huo'er give him a sardonic look.

This made Yu Tianfeng's face sink. He had heard of the princess's character. Previously, he had said nasty words in front of her, and now, he had been ruthlessly smacked in the face, so how could he stay here any longer?

"Let us go!" Yu Tianfeng said through clenched teeth.

He flew up with Chi Zhuiyun, while Demon Girl and Luo Sha followed closely behind.

At that moment, there were quite a number of people from the Oracle Fey Kingdom that were in the midst of the millions of people present. At that moment, they felt ashamed to stay any longer, as they quietly retreated from the crowd.

At moment that the people from the Oracle Fey Kingdom left, the disciples of the World Margin Sect and Eternal Eventide Sea felt bitter. They looked at Yi Yun with apprehension.

Tianya Haoyue had already awoken. He looked at Yi Yun with a complex look. He had previously deemed his beating down by Yi Yun with a brick as the greatest humiliation in his life, but now, he did not find it too unacceptable. After all, Yi Yun was on a completely different level to him.

As for the arrogant goddess Xi Ye, she sighed lightly in her heart and she did not say a word. Recalling her aloofness, she felt ashamed. It was truly the case of there being heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. She closed her eyes lightly as her ears echoed with the tsunami-like cheers from the members of the Luo clan in the southern desolate mountain plains.

"Yi Yun!"

"Yi Yun!"

"Yi Yun!"

...

The cheers echoed at an intensity more than ten times higher than when Yi Yun had previously defeated Tianya Haoyue. It was as though the entire desolate plains was trembling with the cheers.

"Little Yun, nicely done!" Luo Huo'er's cheerful voice transmission entered Yi Yun's ears.

Without a doubt, Yi Yun would become a legend from this day onwards.

In the history of the Luo clan, Yi Yun would undoubtedly leave behind a heavy stroke in its history books!

As long as he did not fall, Yi Yun's future accomplishments were unthinkable!

True Martial World - Chapter 949: Who is the Shura

When Chi Zhuiyun mentioned how he was looking forward to Yi Yun's growth, it was like he was a senior talking to a junior. This pissed off a great deal of the Luo clan clansmen present.

But even though they were pissed, no one made any sarcastic comments because Chi Zhuiyun was really formidable.

War Demon Form! Celestial Demon Form!

From the beginning of the battle, Chi Zhuiyun had mentioned that the War Demon Form was only his first battle form.

Other than the bloodlust war demon that attacked Yi Yun previously, even the 'Ten Thousand Demons' spear attack that Chi Zhuiyun used at the end, none of them deviated from the War Demon Form!

A War Demon Form was already so powerful, so to what extent would the Celestial Demon Form signify? According to Chi Zhuiyun, this was his ultimate power, one that he could not control.

A confrontation of this degree was obviously life-threatening!

It was not impossible for one's life to be threatened in an intense battle between top geniuses as they used their full strengths.

Everyone in the Luo clan was breaking out into a cold sweat for Yi Yun!

They did not know if Yi Yun was able to withstand Chi Zhuiyun's final attack.

In fact, if Yi Yun had reached his limits, he could choose to back down. No one would say a thing. After all, Yi Yun was younger and his cultivation level was lower. As for Chi Zhuiyun, he had already begun his Dao Manifestation. Such a qualitative gap required Yi Yun to possess much greater talent to make up for it!

However, Chi Zhuiyun was already a paragon prodigy, so to have one's talent to surpass his?

It was extremely difficult!

At that moment, in the Luo clan royal palace, a group of ministers, as well as the lofty Emperor Luo, were viewing the battle though a disk array!

Emperor Luo was dressed in royal robes, sitting high and mighty. However, he was not feeling relaxed.

He was concerned about the outcome of the battle, as well as Yi Yun's safety!

"Young Master Yi can be proud of being able to battle Chi Zhuiyun to such a degree!"

The Luo clan courtiers and even the ministers, were now addressing Yi Yun courteously, adding the deferential title of 'young master'.

"That's right! Since Chi Zhuiyun can't even control his Celestial Demon Form himself, clashing with him would be a grave risk. In fact... ending it here would be for the best. There is still time. With the talent that Young Master Yi has presented, he is in no way inferior to Chi Zhuiyun." Another elderly minister said.

As he spoke, his palms were sweaty.

He was feeling very nervous!

Not only was he nervous, many of the other important figures of the Luo clan were extremely nervous.

It wasn't easy for the Luo clan to recruit such a peerless genius. He was the Luo clan's treasure. Even if Yi Yun did not become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple, he was bound to shine in the future, adding strength to the Luo clan!

This was particularly important to the Luo clan that was in the midst of a crisis.

But now, Yi Yun wanted to take on Chi Zhuiyun's strongest move. If there were any accidents, even if he did not die, he might be severely injured, possibly affecting his future achievements!

However, ending the battle was only the hope of the elderly Luo clan minister. After a few moments of silence, Yi Yun's energy was churning. His aura was constantly rising like he was a mountain with an endless peak!

Yi Yun did not need to answer. His aura was already an answer.

"Good! You should be honored. This is the first time that I am forced to use the Celestial War Demon against a peer ever since I stepped into the Yuan Opening realm. Even Senior Felicitous Rain Lord gave me his approval because of my Celestial War Demon! I'll let you see the anger of the Celestial Demon!"

A foul aura surged from Chi Zhuiyun's body as he held his spear!

The foul aura surged into the sky, dyeing the firmaments dark red.

Chi Zhuiyun's body was completely immersed in the foul aura as his skin turned azure. His body became more burly and taller. His eyes turned cold and heartless as well.

At that moment, it was like Chi Zhuiyun had become a demon himself!

Roar!

With a demonic roar, a Shura demon that was a hundred feet tall appeared behind Chi Zhuiyun. This Shura demon had absorbed all of the energy in the Shura Dao Domain, and at that moment, it was like the sovereign of the heavens and earth!

"What a terrifying stance. Chi Zhuiyun has perfectly combined his Dao Domain, his spear attacks, and bloodline into one. Is that the final Celestial Demon Form!?" On a seat of honor, Chu Yunjian could tell very clearly. Although he was no match for it, he was still able to assess it well.

"It's difficult to resist it!" Bai Yueqing said as well.

The terrifying killing intent prevented people from looking straight at it. The millions of people present felt their hearts being stirred by the demonic aura, like they were about to explode.

"Everyone has a demon in their mind!" Chi Zhuiyun's voice sounded like it came out of hell.

It was like the whispers of demons, arousing the emotions and passions of people!

"Yi Yun, the inducement of mental demons in everyone's mind and the stirring of the demonic auras of the heaven and earth, this move will be the result of your glorious defeat!"

As Chi Zhuiyun spoke, he merged with the Shura Demon behind him. The spear in his hand appeared like it would cut through the world!

"Celestial Demon Form — Hellblood Stupa!"

Chi Zhuiyun struck with his spear!

A thrust as fast as lightning stirred the rolling power of foul sanguine energies. Chi Zhuiyun's figure instantly traversed the blockade of space and arrived in front of Yi Yun.

Hellblood Stupa! The first blow eradicates all mortal life, the second wipes out ghosts and spirits, and the third slays the Gods and Buddhas themselves!

This was a spear that was indomitable. Nothing could withstand it.

All of Chi Zhuiyun's aura was gathered on the spear.

Even if gods and buddhas were in front of him, they would be penetrated into dust!

And at that moment, Yi Yun's surging aura completely burst out!

Whew!

From around Yi Yun, 999 flying sabers shot out together. The flying sabers were not aimed at Chi Zhuiyun, they hummed in the air, exposing the Dao patterns hidden on the flying sabers.

At the same time, Dao patterns on the pure Yang broken sword burst with light as well!

Countless dark golden Dao patterns danced in the air, illuminating the sky!

"What a coincidence. Your move is a Shura Demon, but so is mine!"

As Yi Yun spoke, all the nomological Dao patterns in the air merged into one!

Boom!

The Dao pattern resonated as a gigantic Shura phantom appeared in the infinite divine light. This Shura Celestial Demon was slowly pushing a gigantic wheel.

In this wheel, there were countless demons and wraiths engraved on it. They were in all shapes and sizes. Some were wailing, some were hissing, and some were killing. A terrifying demonic aura burst into the sky, glazing the eyes of everyone who saw it. They found it difficult to extricate themselves, like they would sink into it if they were not careful.

"This move… "

"What is that!?"

In the southern desolate mountain plains, the millions of people spectating this battle were alarmed! Yi Yun's 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was something only a few people like Bai Yueqing had seen.

However, back when this move was seen in the Fey Refining Rock array, Yi Yun's 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was only a tiny wheel. Although it was very powerful, it did not have a shocking appearance. It was unlike its present incarnation of it being pushed by a hundred-foot-tall Shura Demon.

Yi Yun's attack was similar in form to Chi Zhuiyun’s, but it felt completely different!

What sort of Dao was that?

People had seen the Dao of Wind, Rain, Lightning, swords and sabers, killing intents and all sorts of different Dao. However, Yi Yun's Dao did not belong to any one of them.

It was like it only happened during the annihilation of the world when all things experienced Nirvana!

Chi Zhuiyun's spear had thrust straight down at the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence's core!

A Celestial Demon against another Celestial Demon!

Who was the Shura?

Boom!

An explosive clash echoed throughout the plains after the two split off.

In between Yi Yun and Chi Zhuiyun, the ground shattered into dust as a gigantic crater appeared. The sky above them was dyed red!

The clouds in a radius of a five hundred kilometers had been pushed away. This apocalyptic scene left many warriors silent for a long time.

Who won?

No one expected that Yi Yun's final attack was so similar to Chi Zhuiyun's!

The blood aura remained congealed together for a long time before it dissipated. Only then did people see Chi Zhuiyun standing with his back facing Yi Yun. His body was stiff and his face was pale. Although he did not look like he had received any physical wounds, people could tell that he was in a terrible state! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

As for Yi Yun, he was not in a much better situation. It was even worse. His body was covered in blood, and there was a shocking hole of blood on his left shoulder!

It was just an inch or two away from his heart!

Although this strike had failed to rip through Yi Yun's body, if it wasn’t for the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence blocking it, the spear would have pierced through Yi Yun's heart. If that was the case, the consequences were unthinkable!

Even if Yi Yun did not die, he would be debilitated. By losing a great deal of life blood, he would require several years and countless treasures to recover.

What Chi Zhuiyun said about his strike being possibly fatal was not a lie.

Seeing Yi Yun in such a state, the foreheads of the elderly ministers of the Luo clan oozed with sweat.

Emperor Luo was slightly relieved as well.

Close! It was too close!

Thankfully, Yi Yun was fine. The injury in his shoulder was nothing fatal.

"Did Chi Zhuiyun win? Or is it a tie?"

Around the arena, members of the Luo clan asked. Based on Chi Zhuiyun's condition, it was hard to tell.

If the two still had the strength to fight, they could continue battling!

Now, no one from the Luo clan wished for the battle to continue. They were afraid that harm would befall Yi Yun!

At that moment…

"Peng!"

With a light ring, the clothes on Chi Zhuiyun's upper body burst open, revealing his cut muscles. At that moment, people could see that a black wheel was imprinted on Chi Zhuiyun's chest!

There were demon kings, wraiths, heretic gods imprinted on the wheel. It was the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence that Yi Yun had used!

This wheel had been imprinted on Chi Zhuiyun's flesh?

"What… is this move of yours?" Chi Zhuiyun said with great difficulty as his voice trembled.

As he spoke, the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence engraved on his chest seemed to start moving. The demons and wraiths on the wheel seemed to come alive. They hissed and cackled. The power of the Shura Celestial Demon was annihilating Chi Zhuiyun's life force!

Chi Zhuiyun gripped his spear tightly.

"Ka-cha!"

The spear's tip was stabbed into the mostly annihilated ground, but it still failed to support Chi Zhuiyun's body!

Everyone was astonished when they saw this scene!

"That move is so terrifying!? What the hell is it!?"

"It's destruction! I sensed destruction from the wheel. It's the power of destruction!" An elder with a profound cultivation level said in astonishment.

It was the Dao of Destruction!?

Everything in this world, be it a boundless world, dragons, phoenixes or ants, they could be born, but they could be destroyed as well!

Nothing in the universe was seemingly eternal.

Destruction was a law that nothing could escape from!

The move might have ended when the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence was imprinted on Chi Zhuiyun's body, but it was still destroying Chi Zhuiyun's life force!

Destruction was endless!

Even though Chi Zhuiyun's life force was immensely powerful, he found it more and more difficult to withstand the power of destruction. Finally, as he gripped the pole of his spear, he slowly fell to the ground…

True Martial World - Chapter 948: Celestial Demon Form

"Cha!"

A sword that was burning with pure Yang flames came straight at Chi Zhuiyun's face!

Chi Zhuiyun was alarmed as he swiped his spear that could wipe out armies!

Boom!

The sword and spear beams clashed, resulting in a furious explosion. A visible shockwave quaked the Shura Dao Domain, as the Dao Domain began to turn chaotic.

"Your War Demon Form is just that and nothing more!" Yi Yun's voice echoed throughout the southern desolate mountain plains!

Chi Zhuiyun's pupils constricted, but he did not retort.

Yi Yun's strike had indeed caught him by surprise, it had annihilated his war demon!

In Chi Zhuiyun's Shura Domain, the war demon was undying, it could be said to be invincible!

All opponents would have suffered defeat from a battle of attrition unless they could break through his Shura Domain. However, Chi Zhuiyun had no peer who had such strength.

But now, the war demon that was slain by Yi Yun had its vitality withered, so it could never be reborn!

The Shura Domain did not breakdown, but the War Demon Form had collapsed. This was the first time that Chi Zhuiyun encountered such a situation.

"What kind of attack is that?" Chi Zhuiyun asked in a solemn voice.

"Withering concept." Yi Yun did not conceal it. There were millions of people present, with old freaks that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. There was bound to be someone who could recognize it.

The withering concept was able to directly extinguish vitality, preventing it from recovering.

There were numerous elixirs in this world that could regrow broken limbs, or reconnect meridians, but there was no elixir in the world that could increase the lifespan of a person unless that person's life force potential had yet to end.

This was the power of the ages. Withering was unstoppable. The world would not last forever, and it was difficult for warriors to gain immortality — at least that was what it seemed at that moment in time.

"So it's the Withering concept. That concept is extremely strange and very rare." A warrior said in awe.

On his seat of honor, Yu Tianfeng's eyebrows pricked up slightly. He never expected that Yi Yun would possess a few tricks up his sleeves. Yi Yun had used the Withering concept to tear Chi Zhuiyun's War Demon Form down.

Previously, Chi Zhuiyun had declared that the War Demon Form was sufficient in his battle with Yi Yun. But now, the fact of the matter was that it was far from sufficient using the War Demon Form!

"It looks like I have underestimated you. I take back my words. Then, I want to see if you can handle my next move!" Chi Zhuiyun raised his spear high.

Yi Yun grunted coldly and said, "There's no reason for me to break through your moves, you can try to see if you can withstand my sword and sabers!"

A sword beam flashed around as a thin sword edge tore through a huge blackened rift in the ground like a large and terrifying claw!

At the same time, 999 Thousand Snow flying sabers flew out from Yi Yun’s interspatial ring. The Thousand Snow Domain was set up in place!

Intense saber aura and sword beams were things that the Shura Dao Domain could not longer contain. Warriors who were slightly weaker and stood in the direction of Chi Zhuiyun could not help but take a few steps back.

Their protective Yuan Qi had been invoked by the sword beams and saber aura!

Yi Yun's offensive was too terrifying. Even without a Dao Domain, just that attack alone was enough to cause Chi Zhuiyun's Dao Domain to experience tremors. However... it still did not collapse!

"A good sword! A good saber! But that's only because you have good weapons!" Chi Zhuiyun bellowed as he slammed his spear into the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground blasted upwards!

Rubble flew up as soil filled the sky!

Following the landing of Chi Zhuiyun's spear, the Shura Domain beneath his feet abruptly contracted, converging back into his spear.

A ferocious demonic phantom surfaced on his spear. This demonic phantom seemed to blend with the spear as one.

The spear was trembling as it issued bloodthirsty cries.

Many warriors felt their eyes start to hurt. It was a peerless weapon of murder!

Chi Zhuiyun's spear tip swept the ground, and immediately, the ground burst into flames and it was dyed crimson.

"Ten Thousand Demons!"

The spear produced rapid shadows, as the spear tip clashed with the sword beam!

Chi Zhuiyun's spear encountered Yi Yun' sword and sabers!

Boom!

A burning hell appeared as Chi Zhuiyun and Yi Yun's figures were immediately deluged by the color of blood.

The entire arena was immediately consumed by a sea of blood.

And in this sanguine color, countless wraiths appeared and pounced on Yi Yun. They let out cackles that sent shivers down the back!

This spear attack was a form of purgatory!

Many warriors felt their heartbeats racing. They were not immersed in purgatory, but their minds were affected.

It was too powerful. The Shura Domain's power could even be augmented on the spear beam. It was like there was no way to see Chi Zhuiyun's full power!

"This time, Yi Yun should be defeated," said Demon Girl.

He was one who was qualified to make Chi Zhuiyun produce such an attack. Furthermore, Chi Zhuiyun was the number one genius of the Oracle Fey Kingdom.

Yi Yun's strength had astounded her. But at this stage in the battle, could Yi Yun still withstand it?

The Luo clan disciples held their breaths as they watched intently. What had happened to Yi Yun?

At that moment, a sword beam tore through the sea of blood. The blood hell seemed like ice that encountered fire. It constantly melted as the wraiths let out shrill screams before turning to dust.

Yi Yun's figure dashed out of the sea along with his sword beam.

His sword was humming while the space around the sword was distorted. The sword was augmented with the Dao patterns of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.

The Dao patterns meandered in a undefinable but abstruse manner.

Chi Zhuiyun's eyebrows pricked up. He had previously seen Yi Yun's mysterious sword that was augmented by the Dao patterns. The Dao patterns were extremely abstruse. A slash with such an augmented sword varied in strength. A weak strike was no different to an ordinary strike, but when it was strong enough, it could defeat Tianya Haoyue!

Previously, Chi Zhuiyun believed that that was the limit to the Dao-patterned strike. But now, from the looks of it, it was far from the truth. Therefore, in the battle with Yi Yun, the Dao-patterned sword was enough to rip through his Ten Thousand Demons!

What attack was it, and why was it so powerful?

This was the first time that Chi Zhuiyun encountered an opponent that belonged to the younger generation whose limits he could not fathom. Furthermore, it was only a single attack!

At that moment, Chi Zhuiyun was alarmed, but Yi Yun was surprised as well!

The 10000 Demon Wheel of Existences's Dao-patterned sword power was as powerful as he wished it to be. It only became stronger against a stronger opponent!

However, Chi Zhuiyun was too powerful. Chi Zhuiyun's Ten Thousand Demons attack had consumed a great deal of Yi Yun's Yuan Qi!

Yi Yun had obviously not used the entire 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, but Yi Yun did not want to use his trump card too easily. Furthermore, he wanted to force his strength to its limits. Besides, he knew that Chi Zhuiyun had an ace up his sleeve!

Chi Zhuiyun had previously said that the War Demon Form was sufficient to deal with him.

Although it was later proven that the War Demon Form was insufficient, it also meant that Chi Zhuiyun had a stronger form!

Chi Zhuiyun's style of battle was like a predator approaching its prey. He would close in and finally issue a critical strike!

In such a battle, it was not a simple battle to determine whose attack was stronger. This was because Yi Yun did not have the confidence in the fact that he could beat Chi Zhuiyun in a single move!

Once his strongest move failed to end the battle, he would be the one that was defeated!

"You are quite an impressive opponent!" said Chi Zhuiyun. "Ever since the Yuan Opening realm, I have never been defeated by any peer. Today, I will not be defeated either! Your Dao-patterned sword must have a limit. As for me, I will use my strongest move. It is one that I have not fully grasped — Celestial Demon Form!"

"Here's a warning. At the moment that the Celestial Demon Form is used, it will be difficult for me to control due to its power. I might accidentally kill you. There's still time for you to throw in the towel! Your cultivation level is lower than me by half a level after all. Such an opponent like you is rare and I look forward to your growth."

True Martial World - Chapter 947: A Sword Through Nirvana!

Chi Zhuiyun immediately became the focus of attention.

As for Yi Yun's voice, it constantly echoed throughout the desolate plains.

Only after Yi Yun's voice faded away did Chi Zhuiyun slowly speak. His voice wasn't loud, but it was easily able to suppress the din from millions of people, reaching the ears of everyone.

"You want to challenge me alone?"

Chi Zhuiyun's words were like he was of supreme stature, with a condescending arrogance.

"Hahahaha!" Chi Zhuiyun burst out laughing. "To continue to challenge me after experiencing an intense battle, you are really biting off more than you can chew!"

As Chi Zhuiyun spoke, he stood up from his seat of honor. Putting his hand out, his spear landed in his palm.

He turned around and looked at Luo Huo'er, who was sitting on a seat of honor as well. "You know that you will lose to me, so you aren't going to fight?"

"Tch!" Luo Huo'er scoffed. "Who do you think you are? Does every genius of the alliance revolve around you? You think that we want to engage in a tag-team battle? Today, Yi Yun alone will battle you so that you won't come up with excuses after losing!"

Luo Huo'er was merciless in her mockery, but the crowd was secretly horrified when they heard her. Luo Huo'er was too bold with her words!

In fact, even though many members of the Luo clan were cheering for Yi Yun, they were actually a little flustered. With Luo Huo’er saying such things, how was she going to get out of the situation if they lost in the end?

"Princess Purple Spirit, your words seem certain that Zhuiyun will lose? Is it because of Yi Yun?" The person who spoke was Yu Tianfeng. It was like he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Luo Huo'er could not be bothered with the retard as she looked at Yi Yun and sent a voice transmission. "Little Yun, I'm counting on you. I've already helped you take the step forward."

Yi Yun was speechless. "You have so much confidence in me, but you don't even know the limits to my strength, right?"

"I really do not know. In a while, if you were to lose, we will be bearing the brunt of it together, so I hope that you can give me a pleasant surprise." Luo Huo'er said nonchalantly. She always had such a rash personality. So what if they lost?

When Yi Yun heard Luo Huo'er's words, a smile flashed in his eyes. "Alright!"

"Since you want to challenge me, I'll grant you your wish!" As Chi Zhuiyun spoke, he took a step out into the void, and he walked towards Yi Yun, who was standing in the middle of the arena!

Every step he took caused fluctuations in the void, like it was the rhythm of the Dao.

It was tens of thousands of feet away from the seats of honor to where Yi Yun was in the middle of the arena. However, in a few steps, Chi Zhuiyun had already landed in the arena, just a hundred feet away from Yi Yun.

"If you and Purple Spirit had joined forces to fight me one after another, I might have to be slightly serious. But now... if I'm just dealing with you alone, the War Demon Form is sufficient!"

War Demon Form?

No one understood what War Demon Form Chi Zhuiyun was referring to, but without a doubt, it was definitely not Chi Zhuiyun's full strength.

Yi Yun laughed and said, "Really? Usually, people who say such things raise death flags and die even faster."

The conversation between the two was sharp and biting, stirring the emotions of the audience.

This was exactly what it meant to be young and crazy!

"Cut the nonsense!"

Chi Zhuiyun raised his spear as his Shura Domain spread out!

In an instant, a crimson patch emanated from beneath Chi Zhuiyun's feet, instantly engulfing the entire arena!

This sanguine energy enveloped Chi Zhuiyun and his spear. There were countless phantom images of wraiths and demons struggling and wiggling above the spear as they emitted intermittent howling and wailing.

For such a scene to appear suddenly in the eyes of millions of warriors, it was like Chi Zhuiyun had charged out of a hellish prison!

Even as spectators, they felt a sense of horror when they saw such a scene.

"It's Chi Zhuiyun's Shura Dao Domain!"

In the eyes of everyone, it was as if the entire southern desolate mountain plains had disappeared. There was only Chi Zhuiyun in this world, like he was the center of the universe, the source of all massacres! Just looking at him made people feel like they were lost in nightmares, unable to extricate themselves.

Just a Dao Domain alone had enveloped millions of people, impeding their mental processes. Chi Zhuiyun's Shura Dao Domain was simply amazing!

"Yi Yun has been engulfed by the Dao Domain!"

"Say, it seems that Yi Yun has yet to demonstrate his own Dao Domain!"

People thought about it carefully, and indeed, Yi Yun still did not have a Dao Domain. A Dao Domain was the attainment of a certain nomological cultivation level. It was able to affect the surrounding space, forming a small world.

Dao Domain was a realm of Dao, but Dao Domains might not be suitable to be used in battle because a Dao Domain itself did not have any offensive capabilities.

Even the members of the Luo clan had to admit that Chi Zhuiyun's Shura Dao Domain was terrifying. It was like it permeated all of existence, slaughtering gods and killing buddhas, like the entire world had fallen into darkness!

As for Yi Yun, he had been engulfed by the darkness. In their perception, they could not even locate Yi Yun anymore.

The members of the Luo clan felt their hearts tighten. If Yi Yun was completely suppressed by Chi Zhuiyun's Dao Domain, there was no need to carry on the fight.

And at that moment —

"Whew!"

A dazzling light flashed as pure Yang flames burst out from the darkness and shot straight towards Chi Zhuiyun like it was the light of dawn that pierced through the twilight.

This was a sword beam that pierced the heart.

Pure Yang Sword Intent!

Back then, the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner had used this strike to cleave a Great World apart, and now, in Yi Yun's hand, this strike pierced through the Shura Dao Domain, moving forward in the darkness in an indomitable fashion!

Weng!

When Chi Zhuiyun thrust his spear forward like a dragon, the swirling wraiths lingering around the crimson spear headed straight for Yi Yun!

An intense clash between spear and sword beams!

Boom!

With an explosion, the wraiths were consumed by the pure Yang flames, vanishing into nothingness!

"Not bad! But in my domain, the power of bloodlust that I have is endless. I want to see how much you can burn!"

As Chi Zhuiyun spoke, he stirred the clouds and the wind with his spear. The wraiths that were incinerated by the pure Yang flames crawled out once again. They struggled to come together and they increased in size, like they were emanating a devilish fire.

This is…

It was alarming. How could they reappear again after being burnt to ash by the pure Yang flames?

This was probably what they meant by the resurgence of dying embers.

What Chi Zhuiyun said that the power of bloodlust was endless in the Shura Domain was nothing but the truth!

If the power of bloodlust could constantly be reborn, how were these demons going to be vanquished?

The crowd began to worry for Yi Yun.

At that moment, the demons had combined with each other to form a war demon that had bare fangs protruding out of a hideous face in front of Chi Zhuiyun. The war demon went from a genuflection before slowly standing up. Its body was hundreds of feet tall, and in front of Yi Yun, it resembled a small mountain.

"Roar!"

The war demon suddenly gave an angry bellow.

The angry roar caused the minds of the warriors present to quiver, as their lifeblood churned in turmoil.

What is that!?

"War Demon Form!"

Chi Zhuiyun hooked his spear up and immediately, a sea of blood was stirred!

At the same time, the terrifying war demon raised the spear in its hand, its actions identical to Chi Zhuiyun.

Like a gigantic pillar, the spear was thrust ruthlessly at Yi Yun. Thick bloodlust caused the surrounding air to turn viscous and sticky.

"It's time for your defeat!"

The spear struck out as the world faded in color!

"Just nice!"

At that moment, Yi Yun struck out with his sword as well.

The rusty broken sword, a lonely figure, charged at the war demon, like a moth heading into the fire.

However, just as Yi Yun was about to clash with the war demon's spear, a dazzling brilliance burst out from behind him!

The Golden Crow screeched as the Nine Neonate howled!

Boom!

An explosive clash immediately caused a shockwave to burst out into the surroundings.

In the sky above Yi Yun, shockwaves burst out incessantly, penetrating the clouds, and leaving a gigantic hole above the arena in the desolate plains.

It was just the beginning of that single strike.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Both sides exchanged attacks again and again. Terrifying power and astounding speed were possessed by the two figures as thunder-like claps echoed from their exchanges!

It was so fast that the warriors spectating the battle found it overwhelming.

They held their breaths as their hearts leaped to their throats.

"Yi Yun doesn't have a Dao Domain, but every one of his nomological sword strikes is able to cleave the Shura Dao Domain in front of him apart," said Bai Yueqing.

Chu Yunjian was also surprised seeing this battle. In the previous battles, Yi Yun did not even use his true strength. The speed at which his sword was slashed and the power in his strikes were too amazing. It had assumed formlessness. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

However, Yi Yun's cultivation realm was lower than Chi Zhuiyun's. If they continued to expend their energies in such a manner, the road ahead for Yi Yun would be bleak. The crux of the matter was that Chi Zhuiyun's Shura Dao Domain's bloodlust power was endless.

If this continued on, Yi Yun would be lacking in stamina.

At that moment, a desolate aura suddenly surged out of the Shura Domain!

Yi Yun was calm, as an ancient and lifeless concept was augmented on his sword.

This strike thrust straight at Chi Zhuiyun and accompanying it was a stance of the soteriological annihilation of everything!

Ka-cha!

The broken sword clashed with the gigantic war demon's spear, and time seemed to freeze at that moment!

A crisp crack sounded, like a mirror breaking. The war demon and its spear appeared like a statue that had experienced eons in an instant.

First, it turned gray before shattering, and finally, it was reduced to smithereens!

Withering concept — A Sword Through Nirvana!

In front of time, even a demon would wither and decay. A demon could be reborn after being slain, but once they turned to ash because of time, they would experience complete nirvana.

With the war demon soteriologically annihilated, Yi Yun's sword maintained a slashing pose, but there were no longer any barriers. His sword was aiming straight at Chi Zhuiyun!

True Martial World - Chapter 946: The direction in which the sword points

After Yi Yun defeated Tianya Haoyue, there was a moment of silence before deafening cheers came from the surrounding Luo clan warriors.

"Yi Yun!"

"Yi Yun!"

To the Luo clan warriors, the battle that just happened in the southern desolate mountain plains was truly rousing. The dark clouds that came from Chi Zhuiyun's declaration of sweeping the Luo clan was wiped clean!

Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er had defeated Tianya Haoyue and goddess Xi Ye respectively. They could be called the Luo clan’s Gemini Gods of War!

Furthermore, people realized that not only was Yi Yun powerful, even the sword in his hand was extraordinary. With that sword, Yi Yun had managed to slash through the Dragon's Roar Purple Armor that should not have been broken in the Dao Manifestation realm.

"I wonder what history Yi Yun's sword has… " Someone asked curiously.

However, people shook their heads in response to this person's question. An elder with quite an impressive cultivation level said, "Since the weapon that Yi Yun has has been corroded so badly, it must be a weapon left behind from primordial eras! However, there are just too many divine weapons from primordial eras. The 12 Empyrean Heavens is so large, so to suddenly reveal one of them, who can guess its history. Many weapons exist in books of legend, having existed for hundreds of millions of years, or even billions of years. They might be buried in a ruin, yet to be discovered. The day that it sees the light of day again, those who had seen such a divine weapon might have already been dead for dozens of generations. It's impossible to recognize them based on the description in records, unless one knows where the ruin was and infer based on the ruin's history."

"That's right! If there is a precise location of the ruin, especially if the ruin's master leaves behind notes or cultivation manuals, only then is there a chance to barely infer from those materials. However, over billions of years, the description in the books might not all be true." Another elder said.

Although they had inferred that the weapon in Yi Yun's hand was of primordial origin, it was apparent that Yi Yun's strength was lacking for entering a primordial ruin in an escapade.

Then, the most likely possibility was that a mighty figure had taken the sword out of the primordial ruin, and eventually died from age or an accident, leaving behind a new ruin. Such an event might happen several times, and for some reason, this sword had eventually landed in Yi Yun's hands.

In that case, trying to probe its origins was truly nearly impossible. Of course, its power was beyond doubt.

"This should have been an opportunity that Yi Yun encountered. Only a genius with providence augmented on him can go further. If our Luo clan wants to become strong, we have to try our best to nurture and protect such a genius."

The Luo clan had existed in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven for a very long time, but compared to a Divine Lord level faction, the Luo clan was still greatly lacking. And now, with the Fey Phantasm Sect looming in the horizon, it threatened the survival of the Luo clan. At such a juncture, the Luo clan had to use whatever hidden capabilities it has. If not, it was not impossible that the Fey Phantasm Sect would wipe them out.

...

At that moment, Tianya Haoyue, who had been knocked unconscious by the brick, had been hastily removed from the arena by people from the World Margin Sect. However, Yi Yun remained standing on the arena, while cheers continued!

As one of the Luo clan's Gemini Gods of War, Yi Yun's popularity surged, with him nearly catching up to Luo Huo'er.

Now, the Luo clan had already defeated the Eternal Eventide Sea and World Margin Sect, leaving only the Oracle Fey Kingdom, which also had the strongest person, Chi Zhuiyun.

Chi Zhuiyun had obtained the approval of Felicitous Rain Lord and he had previously defeated Princess White Fox. Furthermore, people could tell that Chi Zhuiyun had yet to go all out.

He was able to defeat Princess White Fox without doing his best. In addition to how he had defeated a White Fox clan genius that had been famous for a very long time, Chu Yunjian who was at the Dao Manifestation realm, Chi Zhuiyun's strength was unfathomable.

Now, the two genius of the Luo clan, Luo Huo'er and Yi Yun, were going to fight Chi Zhuiyun, but the members of the Luo clan were still uncertain.

What was the limit of Chi Zhuiyun's strength, considering how his cultivation level had reached half-step Dao Manifestation?

Many people had such questions in mind, but the outcome would be revealed almost immediately. The only people who remained undefeated was Luo Huo'er, Yi Yun and Chi Zhuiyun. Regardless of it was Luo Huo'er or Yi Yun, the fight any one of them had with Chi Zhuiyun was enough to send ardor and zeal coursing through their blood!

"Princess Purple Spirit will fight first. Maybe Princess Purple Spirit will be able to defeat Chi Zhuiyun!"

"Don't be too optimistic. Although I adore Princess Purple Spirit, truthfully, the feeling that Chi Zhuiyun gives me is that he's very strong. That person is unfathomable, or else why do you think that Felicitous Rain Lord would approve of him? It is Felicitous Rain Lord, an important person that leaves even our Luo clan's Third Imperial Uncle in the dust!"

In fact, during Luo Huo'er's battle with Xi Ye and the battle between Yi Yun and Tianya Haoyue, many people had observed Chi Zhuiyun's reaction. From the beginning to the end, he did not reveal any looks of surprise. It was like everything was well within his grasp!

Especially in the seats of honor, Chu Yunjian and Prince Crimson Firmament had been monitoring Chi Zhuiyun from the very beginning. The way that Chi Zhuiyun remained so calm and composed, having that expression like he was confident about facing any sudden turmoil, was extremely irritating. But at the same time, it also cast a dark cloud over them.

A possibility for Chi Zhuiyun to remain so calm could very be that Luo Huo'er and Yi Yun's strength had never exceeded his expectations. He had the ability to deal with them!

"According to the rules, Princess Purple Spirit will fight Chi Zhuiyun first! Princess Purple Spirit is extremely gifted, but her cultivation level and age are her disadvantage. Even if Princess Purple Spirit is no match for Chi Zhuiyun, she will be able to drastically expend Chi Zhuiyun's stamina. In the following match, it would be Yi Yun, and he should be on par with Princess Purple Spirit in terms of strength. With the two of them fighting one after another, I don't believe that Chi Zhuiyun would remain undefeated!"

A few Luo clan courtiers discussed in private. Although Emperor Luo and Empress Luo were not present, it was only because they needed to consider their stature. For such an important showdown, everyone in the Luo clan attached a great importance with it, so the Luo clan courtiers naturally would not be absent. They were only standing amongst the ordinary spectators, without revealing their identities.

Chi Zhuiyun wanted to sweep through the geniuses of the Luo clan with his blatant challenge, so he certainly had to accept challenges by the Luo clan geniuses one after another. Since the rules were as such, there was nothing about it being unfair!

"It should be Chi Zhuiyun and Princess Purple Spirit's turn now."

The Luo clan courtiers discussed in private, but they realized that Yi Yun remained in the arena.

"What is Yi Yun doing?"

Many people failed to understand.

"Hmph! That punk probably has never experienced the cheers coming from millions of people and he is probably intoxicated by it!" In the seats of honor, Oracle Fey Kingdom's ambassador, Yu Tianfeng said disdainfully.

As long as Yi Yun remained in the arena, the fervent audience of the Luo clan would not stop with their cheers. Each burst was louder than the previous one, like it was a tsunami or landslide!

With millions of people watching the duels, the battles allowed one to make a name of oneself. Millions of warriors were cheering, reverberating the lands, tearing through the cosmos!

Such glory was the dream of countless people!

At that moment, it was Yi Yun's new peak in life, but it was not necessarily a good thing for young people. The moment that one was intoxicated in it, it was easy to lose oneself and make it difficult to extricate oneself from the situation. It might even put a halt to any progress!

Yu Tianfeng apparently had such a thought as he said with a sneer, "That punk has only defeated an arrogant man from the World Margin Sect, and he thinks he's the strongest in the world? He has probably forgotten who he is. He has immersed himself in the cheers for nearly a minute. How long does he want to stand there?"

Yu Tianfeng's words were not said with a voice transmission, so Chu Yunjian, Prince Crimson Firmament, Bai Yueqing and company, who were sitting in the seats of honor, heard him clearly.

Prince Crimson Firmament's face sank. Although he disliked Yi Yun, he was very irritated by the way that Yu Tianfeng spoke.

"Huo'er, it's time for you to go on up. Tell Yi Yun to return. Standing there for too long isn't good." Prince Crimson Firmament did not want Yi Yun to continue standing there either. It would illustrate that the Luo clan geniuses were overly arrogant. Now, there was exuberance, but if Yi Yun was to be defeated by Chi Zhuiyun later, it would disgrace the Luo clan completely. When the time came, the irritating Yu Tianfeng would jump out and say something like "All of you shouted too fervently, in the end, he's not even able to withstand a hit".

"Get Yi Yun to return? The reason why Yi Yun hasn't returned is because his conversing with me in a transmission!"

When Luo Huo'er said this, Yu Tianfeng guffawed and said, "Right! It's best to discuss how to expend Zhuiyun’s stamina. If the two of you work well together, there might be that glimmer of hope. Everyone should always have hope, shouldn't they?" Yu Tianfeng said with a teasing tone as Luo Huo'er's eyebrows pricked up.

She gave Yu Tianfeng a teasing look as her lips moved slightly, as she transmitted her voice to Yi Yun: "Little Yun, proceed as you proposed."

"Alright!" On the arena, Yi Yun gave a heavy nod.

At that moment, the arena in the vast wilderness had an audience of millions who were in fervor!

Yi Yun stood proudly amid the millions of cheers, and at that moment, Yi Yun was extremely ready!

Suddenly, he lifted his sword and pointed it straight at Chi Zhuiyun!

"Chi Zhuiyun! I'll be the only one battling you today! Come on down!" Yi Yun's roar echoed in the vast wilderness, abruptly drowning out the cheers from the millions of people!

"Come on down!"

"Come on down!"

"Come on down!"

...

The loud voice reverberated again and again as millions of people held their breath. The cheers had also come to an abrupt halt.

Yi Yun was planning on challenging Chi Zhuiyun alone today!?

Millions of pairs of eyes instantly gathered on Chi Zhuiyun who was sitting on a seat of honor!

Dual Sword God - Chapter 86: The Strange White Cocoon? A Spark that Leads the Way!

The Gloomy Forest had become 'lively,' as a fierce pursuit was in progression. Hordes of fiends swiftly traversed the wild forestry, moving between the trees and tall grasses. Some of them even tunneling through the earth at high speeds while others flew high above the forest with their wings, utterly unaffected by the harsh downpour leaving no stones unturned.

Rumble! As they tore through the forest inch by inch to find their target, the environment began to shake as if a magnitude ten earthquake was devastating it. The weaker creatures who lingered in the fields quickly made way, as they took off in all directions causing a stampede that further added to this chaotic scene.

The Squad Leader and the Ghoulfiends who saw this scene up close became stunned, as they quickly made way to avoid the chaos. After they escaped the range of the danger, the Squad Leader then looked towards the location of the pursuit and frowned while he spoke, "Damn! So, they found the human the that Tribe Leader is chasing. This beast tide also isn't a good sign, I have to head back to camp and warn the elder."

As he finished his words, he nodded towards the squad members and moved towards the direction of the camp at full speed. The Ghoulfiend squad members swiftly following by his side, not even bothering to waste any time to contact the odd Ghoulfiend outside of the party, as if they had unanimously agreed to leave him behind in this chaotic scene.

Feng Yu was confused; he didn't know whether it was his identity that had been compromised or it was another trial participant that had entered the Central Regions alone due to their poor luck. So, he wasted no time as he quickly transformed into a streak of lightning that beamed towards a distant place.

Soon, he found a very well hidden cave in the distance that would usually have not been visible to even the keenest of hawks. However, the Pheonix was said to have eyes unlike no other, and as a plus, he had a substantial amount of cave hideaway experience.

Swoosh! His figure vanished into the darkness behind clusters of thick bushes, he then will for one of his swords from his Storage Ring and slashed randomly towards the ceiling of its exit.

Bang! Following a loud bang, groups of rock soon after collapsed completely closing the entry passage of the cave. If one looked from the outside, however, they would see nothing unusual as stones had perfectly melded with its surroundings.

Phew! A beam of blue light shot from the sky and materialized into the form of a blue creature that hovered silently above this area. It was a small female with blue water-like wings that had cyan scales all overhear body; she wore a set of revealing of clothing made of leaves that covered only the most private of sections on her small form.

An Aqua Nymph, small beautiful creatures that despite their cute nature was actually the most dangerous fiends in this forest. They are a Fiend Race that was of the middle-class harmful to all who cross their path.

The Aqua Nymph looked around the region of the forest with the deep gaze as if she could trace the whereabouts of all who hid within the rains water. Quickly, she swept her eyes across the cluster of bushes that covered rocks leading to Feng Yu's hideaway cave.

Carefully inspecting it for a moment, she then shook her head and flapped her wind fling towards another location of the forestry. The chaos behind her quickly catching up to this region as the pursing fiends lay waste to all things within their path while scoured these lands.

*******

Inside of the Feng Yu's new cave hideaway.

As Feng Yu hide in the darkness, he couldn't help but curse to himself as thought about his predicament, "Damn! Will I have to keep on hiding in these caves every time I go on a journey?! If this is the case, why do I even bother? I should just simply give up the mundane and become a caveman[1]!"

He then snapped his fingers causing a flame to appear before his eyes that lit up the cave. The light cleared away a majority of the dark scene, causing Feng Yu's downcast mood to liven up. He looked around the cave to pass his time of boredom, seeing nothing interesting he was about to focus on cultivating with the energies of this world but was soon distracted by a strange sight.

It was a white slick-like cloth that wrapped around a form like a caterpillar. Vaguely, the sound of a heartbeat could be heard as it pulsated at a slightly irregular interval. Feng Yu instantly became cautious as he noticed this strange thing, he sent a wisp of semi-condensed spiritual power towards the slick and instant became shocked.

"This silk is actually hair?! What in this earth is this creature? Why is did it have to be in my hideaway?" Feng Yu felt conflicted as he did not know what kind of creature slept within this hair cocoon, and he had no way out as both the angry fiends and the force beast tide had arrived at this region.

However, soon his worries became for naught. A strange unknown power began to spread from the cocoon as if it was inviting him to touch its surface, unknown to even Feng Yu himself he already walked towards the cocoon in a dazed manner soon placing his palms against its surface.

Buzz! A strange power soon after started to flow from Feng Yu's hand as it flowed inside of the cocoon, deep inside was a small white-haired female child that had a pale face as if she had lost all her blood. Her thumb held in her mouth and eyes closed to the world outside. As the scarlet-golden colored energy from Feng Yu's body flow between the hairy channels, it was quickly devoured by the small girl inside.

If one looked carefully, they would see that upon absorbing the energy from Feng Yu the body of the small female had started to change. Her body grew by a small percentage as the paleness of her skin began to regain some color, a little wristband that was on her wrist glowed brightly before it disappeared and reappeared around Feng Yu's arm.

Quickly, the strange power faded as Feng Yu returned to normal. However, there was no look of confusion in his eyes. He simply calmly gazed at the cocoon before his eyes as if he could see the figure beneath its surface and spoke in a soft tone, "So it was you... sigh, fine. I will help you out seeing that you have helped me out this time."

Upon saying this, he couldn't help but cast his moved his sight towards the artifact that was now on his wrist. He smiled as he looked towards the collapsed entrance of the cave as if he could see the scene outside and spoke confidently, "With this, my mission just became a whole lot easier. Matuk I wonder what expression you'll make when you see the destruction of your camp!"

His eyes gleaming in a sharp murderous light that threatened to cut apart the air itself. Unknownst to him, however, was that his half-step sword intent had also striven further towards the path of achieving true sword intent.

******

It was a deep pit, or rather a large crack in the earth, one whose depths remained unseen as it stretched across the endless horizon. The sound of rushing water echoed below this massive gorge, but it was too far below the surface to see.

Still, these were not the only peculiarities of this place.

Crackle! Ka-bang! A massive amount of snake-like thunderbolts and electrical lights danced about the entirety of this gorge as they randomly bombarded the walls and any lifeform for that matter that dared to travel between their channel.

At the bottom of this gorge and the sea of lightning was a massive water channel, with chunks of large rocks scattered about its surface. These rocks grew from under the water channel and acted like tempory landmasses for those who traveled through the place.

A beautiful young female could be seen seated on one of these small landmasses, her hair was parted into two sides with two long braids reaching all the way down to her ankles; she wore a black shenyi with golden sleeves with white wrappings around her arms and also her feet that were inside a pair of decored sandals. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Xin Qing looked at the scene before her eyes with a desolate expression, her eyes were misty as she felt helpless and she complained, "No! Why have I been sent here? I want to go back send me back!"

As if the Thunderbolts were disturbed by her manner, they rumbled and released their fury.

BANG! One massive bolt of thunder shot its way towards the small landmass that Xin Qing was on with full momentum, not even giving her the time to scream. She could only look at the bolt of lightning that will soon bring her to her doom. Vaguely, a sense of peace arose with her heart as the bolt of lightning overlapped with a familiar form.

Soon though, she realized that this time it wasn't and random fantasy.

A tall blue haired young man with a broad back stood before her body, with his large conical hat covering most of his chiseled face and black qigong robes that had to symbol of 'Dawn's Wing' on its front side and back.

The devastating thunderbolt dousing his form as if it was trying to wash his body, painting him in a godlike manner. Soon, the thunder dispersed, and young man cracked his neck side and side and complained, "Tsskk--! And here I thought I could get a good spark from this bolt."

As if he realized something, he turned around and looked towards the dazed female before him in surprise as he spoke, "Eh? Well, isn't it Miss... ah... I mean fellow Daoist Qing! How did you get here?"

Xin Qing who was still in shock couldn't help but snicker as she woke from her daze upon hearing his words, she spoke teasingly with a bright light shining her bright eyes, "Puihei~! So, the famous Blue Thunder Dai Lin loses his words when speaking to girls! This will make great news if it's passed on to the empire..."

Dai Lin hearing this felt puzzled as he thought to himself, "This isn't good! Can't let my title get destroyed over some silly mistake now can I? I should play it safe and try to change the topic she certainly wouldn't go that far," He then scratched the back of his head before speaking to Xin Qing, "Haha! I don't believe a beautiful lady such as yourself would stoop so low as to play this poor retainer. What happened to y---"

However, as he tried to change the topic, before he could finish his words he was quickly interrupted by Xin Qing who spoke in a serious but playful tone, "Want to bet?!" A steady light was shining her eyes.

Dai Lin seeing this felt uneasy, he quickly tried to find a compromise, "Ok Miss Qing! you win, state your demands!"

Xin Qing seeing Dai Lin compromise felt happy, she picked her self up from the ground and walked to his front before declaring, "From now on, you are going to be this lady's spark. You will guide me safely out of this place and if you do well, I will not only keep my lips sealed but also grant you a special surprise~!"

Dai Lin frowned for a bit as he heard her words, but after pondering about it for a short while, he smiled and responded, "If it is the young lady's wish, I shall oblige!"

Xin Qing felt happy when she heard Dai Lin's words, but soon she started to frown. She looked towards Dai Lin and hesitated a bit before giving one more command, "Al... Also, I want you to call me by a different name."

Dai Lin hearing hear stutter for a bit smiled as he thought to himself, "Ah, how cute.." He responded, "How shall address the young lady?"

Xin Qing paused for a moment before she gripped her fists tightly and looked him straight into the eyes before speaking in a soft tone, "Call me Qing'er..."

Her voice resounding throughout the narrow passage, soon after fading away by the rushing stream and rumbling thunderbolts...

Dual Sword God - Chapter 85: The Scorched Battlefield, Feng Yu's Plan!

The world was scorched black, as a sea of flames had consumed most of this region. Plumes of smoke rising to the air, as a waft of roasted flesh tickled the noses of all beings within its vicinity. Carefully looking at this devasted land, one would see a series of craters shaped in an unusual form, seeming to have been made by giant palms that pressed into the earth and blades that ruptured the land.

A scene that one could describe as 'the end,' resting in each of these craters were parts of odd creatures that had hardly recognizable blue skin. Their bodies burnt mostly to cinders, with the remnants remaining in scorched pieces. Their leggings-like armors mostly ruined along with any good weapons on their persons. Still, a few of the lucky ones had managed to stay intact and were stacked into piles located in remote corners of this ravaged battlefield.

The previous chilliness of the dense smog, replaced by a blazing air that burnt away all hidden beneath its covering. The time of dawn had long passed, moving the day steadily towards its peak. Now, a small group of humans could be seen moving about busily in this dreaded blazing field.

"Heave-Ho!" The group of practitioners yelled in unison, while they pull a massive dual bladed halberd wrapped with large chains from the corpse of a humongous creature. The chains made 'clink-clink' noises as they drew across the ground pulled the halberd at a steady pace towards a new stack of weapons.

A man looking at this scene couldn't help smile and shook his head in a depressed manner, as he spoke, "Sigh, who would have thought that these strange weapons wouldn't compatible with our Storage Ring's? Oh well, that halberd should be the last of these weapons it's time to report to the leaders."

As he finished his words, the man turned around and walked towards a tent located a few dozen meters away. While walking, he couldn't help but look at the ever burning flames and destroyed with a solemn expression as he thought to himself, "Such powerful monsters, these guys are certainly not humans. I thought I'd seen it all at battles against the Soul Eater Ghostfiends, but it seems as though we had only seen the tip of the iceberg."

While the man walked and contemplated, he soon arrived at the entrance of the tent. However, before he could voice his arrival, he was interrupted.

"Enter!" The voice of Xun Yanshan said.

Not wasting any time, the man promptly responded by entering and politely bowing his head to the two forms seated around a small table. He spoke, "Leader Xun and Leader Nei, this one has come to report on the collection of those strange weapons. We have successfully gathered all usable remnants that weren't destroyed by the battle."

As Xun Yanshan heard this, he nodded his head and replied, "Good work! Rally the remainder of our men and prepare, for we shall march towards the Central Regions once again."

"Yes, Leader Xun!" The man replied, as he dismissed himself from the tent and headed towards the groups of practitioners.

Nei Sinian who sat around the table looked towards Xun Yanshan and flicked his index finger. Within moments, a chart or rather a map explaining the battlefield zones in detail appear before their eyes.

He then moved his finger towards a part of the map surround by a large red circle and spoke in a calm voice, "If we keep following this route on the chart, we should arrive at the entrance of the Central Regions the 'Center of All Zones' in about six months. The Ancient Dragon Battlefield Wars usually continues for no more than a year. So, we have to make the best of use of the remaining time to gather as much war points that possibly can."

Xun Yanshan hearing this replied, "Em. Let's hope that we can also find those brats while traveling this route."

Nei Sinian hearing this shook his head silently, he then looked towards an open section of the tent where far in the distance. A silhouette of a floating Fortress could be seen slowly traveling towards the distant parts of the Interior Regions.

Following Nei Sinian's sight, Xun Yanshan also revealed a pensive expression as he spoke once more, "I'm sure those guys already have their plans regarding the disappearances of these kids. It also doesn't look like they are partaking in this Mystic Realm Trial for treasures as they immediately left after destroying these fiends. I wonder, what's their main purpose for coming here?"

Hearing Xun Yanshan's words, Nei Sinian replied, "It is useless to ponder the unknown, let's get moving." As he said this, slowly got up from his chair and walked outside of the tent. Xun Yanshan seeing this shook his head, he waved his hand causing the tent to vanish returning to his Storage Ring and promptly followed along.

******

At the summits of the sky, a Mansion-like Fortress floated in the air. The emblem of the Pheonix hanging high atop walls which used to be a gate, and its courtyards remaining in the same design as it would on land.

It traveled at a slow and steady pace as it made its way towards the Central Regions, moving as if those on the inside did not feel the need to hurry.

Inside of the main building, within a large hall, were a group of the Feng Clan's core officials and elders. They were seated quietly listening to the discussion of the two men sitting at the principal seats.

"Junling, why did you send did you send Elder Chen along with Elder Duan to search for Yu'er and his friends? We are already short enough on manpower as it is, not to mention the fact that we had to use most of the energy crystals to power this artifact so it could even reach zone!" Feng Yunlong asked with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"If we didn't use the energy crystals we would have never been able to traverse those two zones in the only a day's time. Now that we have arrived at this Foggy Zone we can be said to have cleared the most pressing issue of distance. Traveling at this speed is enough for us to arrive at the entrance in 6 or so months. There is no need to rush, we can use this extra time to derive more of our bloodline's potential and hastening the recovery of our strengths. The energies here are of a higher grade than those on the outside by two times. Hence, it should make our recovery increase by two-folds." Feng Junling replied in a calm and collected manner, as he played with a small black and white spheroid in his palms.

He then looked towards Feng Yunlong and spoke once again in ambiguous tone, "As for the circumstances regarding Elder Chen, do you really want 'that' Elder Duan alone to go and search for the kids?"

Feng Yunlong hearing him mention 'that' Elder Duan revealed a pensive expression. After some time, he sighed and replied in acceptance,"Sigh, fine then. I suppose sending Elder Chen wasn't a bad idea."

"Good! Now what we should focus on is recovering our strengths to as much as we possibly can while collection points true these zones we pass by. That Variant Heiferfiend wasn't too bad, but It was not good either. Its weapon was useless to use practitioners as we use a different kind of energy in our world and its war points were almost negligible since it was shared." Feng Junling said as he smiled and waved his hand causing the small black and white spheroid to disappear.

Feng Yunlong replied, "Em. Indeed it was..." He then looked towards the core members and officials and spoke once in a solemn tone, "I want you all to do your utmost to gathering points, as we will require many to gather these resources our clan needs. All Crimson-Mask Soldier units will take the frontlines from now on as all core family bloodline members should focus on unraveling more your strengths! Dismiss!"

The clan officials and core elders hearing his words bowed and replied in unison, "Understood!"

They then got up from their seats, and orderly made their way outside of the man hall, leaving behind only the forms of Feng Yunlong and Feng Junling.

Seeing that the room was now empty, Feng Yunlong asked, "How is Xingyu feeling now?"

Feng Junling hearing his question answered with a slightly concerned expression on his face, "She is fine, it's only... she's been having these strange dreams since she arrived in this realm."

"Father had always kept the details about her body's true circumstances unclear. Sigh, I wonder, what could be the problem?" Feng Yunlong said in a concerned tone.

"I don't know, but we have to use any means necessary to find out." Feng Junling replied in a firm tone, as a bright gleam shone at the depths eyes.

"Em." Feng Yunlong said as they both looked towards the garden of roses in a separate courtyard.

Central Regions, Endless Rain Zone, within the Gloomy Forest.

The day was now at its peak, but the gloom of this forest was neverending. The constant down continued to drench the land, washing away all signs of hope.

A group of dark furred wolfmen with gleaming yellow eyes and sharp fangs were cautiously traversing the forest. Their human-like bodies hunched over as they slowly walked through the wild bushes that grew between the trees, as they moved forward they would swiftly and silently break apart the tall grasses that shrouded their sights.

As they moved, they would occasionally use their noses and ears to check the environment for unexpected circumstances. However, today they were doomed no matter how cautiously they scanned the wilds.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Instantly, a group of Ghoulfiends beamed from out of the underbrushes completely catching the wolfmen off guard. Their sharp claws tore through the chest of the wolfmen causing a fountain of blood to paint a small section of the forest.

"Aroouu!" A few of the wolfmen tried to resist as they called upon their dark powers and charged towards the Ghoulfeinds in a frenzied manner. Their form quickly turning into remnant shades with no accurate direction for their assaults, soon, a few of the Ghoulfiends had succumbed to injuries.

However, before they could gain the upper hand, they were swiftly beheaded by the Elite Ghoulfiend Hunting Squad Leader. The forest now momentarily becoming filled with a bloody flavor.

"Chet! This troublesomeDark Wolfmen Tribe, always sneaking about our territory." The Squad Leader said as he scanned the corpses of the Dark Wolfmen. Behind him, the other Ghoulfiends had started to look around the environment for possible threats due to the previous bloody scene.

However, one odd Ghoulfiend stood to the side silently as if nothing in the world was worth its time. The Squad Leader who had now finished counting the corpses of the wolfmen looked towards his squad members and nodded; he was pleased with their swift and efficient performance. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

He then looked towards the form of the lone Ghoulfiend standing in the corner of the field and commanded with a tone of anger, "You there! What are you doing standing around?! Get to work and gather the corpses! You will drag them back to the camp to aid in the on-going ritual!"

As Feng Yu heard his command, he promptly reacted by waving his hands in a sign of compliance. The Squad Leader didn't pay him any further attention and rallied the remaining squad of Ghoulfiends to head back to the camp.

Feng Yu seeing this scene remained indifferent, he then looked towards the corpses and frowned while thinking to himself, "This isn't going well two days are remaining to complete the mission, and I still haven't found a good plan to sabotage this ritual. What's the best option? There must be a way---"

As Feng Yu was lost in his thoughts, he was soon disturbed by one of the Dark Wolfmen that was bearly still alive.

"Cough! Cough! Da...mn, M...a...t...u...k and his... t...r..i..b..e..." The Dark Wolfman said, as coughed out a large amount of blood shortly after passing away.

Feng Yu hearing his words couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression for a moment, but soon, he expression changed to that of excitement as a cunning light shone in his eyes. He muttered softly, "Since I lack the power to change the situation myself, why not use the power of others? I will 'fight fire with fire,' using Fiends against Fiends."

As he was excited in his new chain of thought, he promptly began to collect the corpses from the ground. However, as he was about to finish this task, there was a sudden commotion from the direction the Hunting Squad Leader and the Ghoulfiends went.

"The human was last seen over there! Quickly find and capture it!" A powerful sounding voice said as it echoed throughout the area despite the harsh rain.

As Feng Yu heard this, he became shocked and subconsciously replied, "What?!"

His voice drowned out but the downpour that added to the tense atmosphere that was about to unfold.
