True Martial World - Chapter 952: Lacking Dao Domain

On behalf of her master to greet the Third Imperial Uncle?

The palace was filled with important figures from the Luo clan and the alliance. They were stunned when they suddenly heard Shui Ningshuang's words.

Regardless of Shui Ningshuang's bearing or the nomological fluctuations around her, they were all stunning. Such a woman's looks and strength were impeccable. She even had a bearing that placed her a cut above the rest, so how could she be willing to be a slave to others?

How magnificent would one be to have a woman slave like her?

Could it be… ?

People began to guess, and this guess left them stifled.

At that moment, the Third Imperial Uncle cupped his hands and said, "Fairy Ningshuang, you must be joking. I can't afford Felicitous Rain Lord's greetings. I should be the one greeting Felicitous Rain Lord."

The Third Imperial Uncle's words affirmed what everyone had in their minds. People drew a gasp. The woman's master was indeed Felicitous Rain Lord!

"Fairy Ningshuang... I recall who she is. Fifty thousand years ago, Fairy Ningshuang had once traversed the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, making a name for herself. However, it was ephemeral, she soon disappeared because she had returned to Felicitous Rain Lord's side and seldom appeared. Rumors say that Fairy Ningshuang was saved by Felicitous Rain Lord when she was still a young girl. Back then, Felicitous Rain Lord had yet to become a Divine Lord. He was impressed by her intelligence and extraordinary constitution, keeping her by his side. Therefore, Fairy Ningshuang has always been a follower of Felicitous Rain Lord, tending to his daily needs. Fairy Ningshuang is extremely clever, so by serving Felicitous Rain Lord, her strength has already reached an unfathomable stage."

Shui Ningshuang was Felicitous Rain Lord's maidservant, so she naturally called Felicitous Rain Lord master. It was not that an impressive woman like her was willing to be a slave, it was because she had gone from an ordinary maidservant to her present stage.

So that was the reason why the Third Imperial Uncle had presided over the national banquet. His invitation of all heroes from various nations was because of Shui Ningshuang's arrival!

With Shui Ningshuang's identity, she naturally could become the star of the national banquet. Of course, Yi Yun was also the junior that the Third Imperial Uncle wanted to introduce to Shui Ningshuang.

"I wonder what Fairy Ningshuang is here in the Luo clan for?" The Third Imperial Uncle asked.

This question was critical.

After Yi Yun defeated Chi Zhuiyun, Fairy Ningshuang's appearance could not help but cause others to have certain thoughts.

This was apparent for the Luo clan clansmen. At that moment, they turned particularly excited as they held their breaths and looked at Fairy Ningshuang intently, waiting for her response. Could Fairy Ningshuang's appearance here imply that Felicitous Rain Lord had intentions of taking in Yi Yun as a disciple?

Shui Ningshuang said with a smile, "My trip here was not my master's intention. My master has been staying in the Oracle Fey Kingdom for the past few days while pondering over the laws. Since I had nothing better to do, Chi Zhuiyun's challenge of all the younger generation of the alliance had sparked my interest, leading me here. After seeing the outcome of Chi Zhuiyun's battle, I was quite pleasantly surprised."

Shui Ningshuang smiled at Yi Yun as she said this.

Yi Yun got up and gave a Shui Ningshuang a bow.

At that moment, Yi Yun had become the focus of the banquet.

Prince Crimson Firmament and Bai Yueqing were both sitting opposite Yi Yun. As they looked at Yi Yun, they felt their hearts turn somewhat sour.

To Crimson Firmament, if Yi Yun could become the disciple of Felicitous Rain Lord, it was a great thing for the Luo clan, but for him, it did not necessarily mean that it was good. This made him feel wry and bitter.

"Fairy Ningshuang, what do you think about Yi Yun?" Third Imperial Uncle asked in an extremely solemn voice.

All these years, the Third Imperial Uncle had been cultivating in the back mountains of the royal palace. Other than the invasion of the Fey Phantasm Sect, very few things could stir him.

"I… do not represent the views of master." Fairy Ningshuang shook her head.

"Fairy, it's fine if it's just your personal opinion." Third Imperial Uncle said. Fairy Ningshuang had accompanied Felicitous Rain Lord for so many years, so she was probably one who knew Felicitous Rain Lord's judgment criteria.

"Yi Yun is not bad!" Shui Ningshuang gave such an evaluation. Before the Luo clan could rejoice, there was a sudden turn in Shui Ningshuang's words. "However, he has a very big problem… "

"What problem is it?"

The members of the Luo clan felt their hearts tighten!

"If I'm not wrong, Yi Yun has yet to grasp his own Dao Domain!"

Dao Domain, Great Dao, Heavenly Dao, Origins. This were the four realms of Dao.

A typical warrior would possess a Dao Domain when they were at the Dao Manifestation realm.

However, for geniuses, it was common for them to have their own Dao Domain at the Heaven Ascension realm. For example, Chi Zhuiyun had a Shura Domain that turned the skies crimson. It enveloped millions of people and shocked everyone!

Felicitous Rain Lord had approved of Chi Zhuiyun because of his Dao Domain.

Without a doubt, Felicitous Rain Lord had placed great emphasis on the Dao Domain.

This represented a genius's perception and nomological attainments. It determined one's future development to a large extent.

However, Yi Yun apparently did not have a Dao Domain.

Third Imperial Uncle frowned slightly and he fell silent.

Quite a number of people in the crowd present were surprised. "Yi Yun does not have a Dao Domain? That can't be!?"

"Gaining insights into a Dao Domain should not be difficult for a top genius. Princess Xue'er had comprehended a Dao Domain more than ten years ago."

Back then, at the Luo Divine Hall trials, Princess White Fox's epiphany allowed her to possess her own Dao Domain. Back then, Yi Yun had already lagged behind her, but he should not have lagged behind her for more than ten years!

Furthermore, Yi Yun's strength was obvious. He could defeat Chi Zhuiyun, so how could he not have his own Dao Domain?

"In response to Fairy's words, this junior indeed has not comprehended a Dao Domain."

With Yi Yun saying this, all the guests were dumbfounded.

He really didn't have one!

Previously, in the challenge that Chi Zhuiyun made, the people who fought all had Dao Domains. Some of the Dao Domains might not have offensive power, but they were still Dao Domains.

Yi Yun did not use a Dao Domain from the beginning to the end, making people believe that Yi Yun's Dao Domain was unsuitable for battle. But now, it was because he did not even have one!

Why was this so? Could Yi Yun have encountered a bottleneck in his nomological insights that he could not break through?

It was obviously better the early one formed their Dao Domain. There was room for future development. By delaying it for so long, Yi Yun's progress was already impaired. If he really had a bottleneck, it would be terrible. Bottlenecks were things that no one could tell when they could be broken through!

This made everyone look at Yi Yun with worried looks.

Especially the members of the Luo clan. They were worried that Yi Yun's weakness in Dao would make him slowly fail to catch up to top geniuses.

After all, the Dao Manifestation realm was extremely important. From Heaven Ascension into Dao Manifestation, Dao fruits had to be condensed. The number and quality of the Dao fruits directly affected his future success!

In the martial world, geniuses who reigned supreme in the Heaven Ascension realm would be slowly be left behind because of their poor Dao fruit qualities. It was not uncommon for them to end up with their potentials being expended. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Even if Yi Yun were to condense his Dao Domain tomorrow, he was already at a greater disadvantage compared to Chi Zhuiyun and others!

Shui Ningshuang nodded. "You are at the Heaven Ascension perfection realm, but you have yet to condense your Dao Domain. It is indeed slow. You are about to step into the Dao Manifestation realm, so nomological insight is extremely important. Without a Dao Domain, the Dao fruits that you condense would definitely be lacking in quality. If this goes on, you might begin to lag behind in the Dao Manifestation realm. It would be very difficult to make up for it!"

True Martial World - Chapter 951: Shui Ningshuang

Yi Yun had defeated Chi Zhuiyun! This news spread like wildfire, and in a few hours, the news of the matter was proliferated throughout the royal capital by the millions of warriors that had seen the battle!

And that was only the beginning. People knew that after Yi Yun defeated Chi Zhuiyun, there was a slim chance that he could become Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple!

Once Yi Yun became Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple, it was truly skyrocketing in a single step. In the future, even Emperor Luo would be respectful to him when they met!

In the coming days, the news of Yi Yun defeating Chi Zhuiyun quickly spread throughout the Luo clan through various channels.

Yi Yun's name reverberated throughout the 196 states.

Many young warriors idolized Yi Yun. His battle with Chi Zhuiyun was recorded on disk arrays, watched by the warriors as a rare collection. It even caused a new craze.

And in the royal capital, when Yi Yun returned to his residence, his entire viscount residence was surrounded by spirit beasts and spirit ships. Visitors from various factions came with many ambassadors bringing gifts. They came in endless droves.

Now, even the top ten factions in the Luo clan, such as the Xushui Ran clan and the Donglin family clan, had their ambassadors visit Yi Yun. All of them had to maintain an attitude of humility. They were not vexed, even if they had to line up without being able to meet Yi Yun.

The gifts filled up several guest halls, but shortly after Yi Yun returned to his viscount residence, he had to leave immediately. The waiting ambassadors did not even get to meet Yi Yun in person, eventually leaving in regret.

At that moment, Yi Yun had arrived at Empress Xuan's Fenghua Palace.

"What? The Third Imperial Uncle has summoned me?"

The Luo clan's Third Imperial Uncle was the pillar of the Luo clan. He was constantly in retreat in the vast spirit mountains behind the royal palace. In his constant reclusion, his exact whereabouts were unknown.

Typically, Emperor Luo was the only person in the Luo clan that could meet the Third Imperial Uncle to inform him of various matters.

And Emperor Luo would only inform the Third Imperial Uncle of important matters that involved the entire Luo clan.

Without a doubt, Yi Yun defeating Chi Zhuiyun was reported by Emperor Luo. This meant that Emperor Luo treated this as an important matter that involved the entire Luo clan.

"Little Yun, I have only managed to meet Imperial Granduncle once. Crimson Firmament did so once as well. Most of the other princes and princesses have not even got a chance to meet him yet! But this time, Imperial Granduncle wishes to host a national banquet himself. Not only does he want to summon you, he wants to convene many important figures in the Luo clan to hold a celebration for you. That is an honor that even Crimson Firmament will be jealous of."

Even Luo Huo'er and Crimson Firmament had only met the Third Imperial Uncle once. It was imaginable how seldom the Third Imperial Uncle showed himself.

Now, him personally hosting a national banquet was completely unprecedented.

"Little Yun, let me tell you. If Imperial Granduncle wants to reward you, be relentless, take all that you can!" Luo Huo'er winked at Yi Yun as she spoke.

...

Today was the day that the Luo clan royal capital ushered in one of the biggest events in the recent ten thousand years!

Just high in the sky, there were numerous flying creatures of massive sizes, as well as spirit cruisers shuttling through the nebula bands.

And their destination was the same — the Luo clan royal palace!

This was the second time that Yi Yun came to the Luo clan's main royal palace. It was located on a high mountain that was connected by a long imperial staircase.

The last time he came here, it was the gathering of the various major factions of the alliance. Ambassadors from various clans had come, with numerous people being present.

Back then, Yi Yun was just one of the many disciples and he was not considered to be remarkable.

But this time, Yi Yun was no doubt the center of attention!

At the moment he entered the main royal palace, all eyes were immediately turned on him!

Yi Yun remained composed. He was dressed in a pale green robe with a sword by his waist, while his hair was tied up with a piece of thread. He had an air that seemed to make him rise up above all others.

In the main palace, there were gigantic golden columns on both sides that had a circumference that was the combined arm spans of several people. On the ground, there were seats that could accommodate thousands of people.

And Yi Yun's spot was impressively in the first row!

Opposite him was a spot where Prince Crimson Firmament sat facing him.

To the warriors of the Luo clan, being able to sit at where Yi Yun sat was the greatest desire in life.

Having rapidly advancing up the social ladder, with him having power and wealth, there were countless beauties who admired him. Everything was at his fingertips!

And how old was Yi Yun?

He was famous at a young age, with countless people who were envious of him.

"So you are Yi Yun." A sonorous voice suddenly sounded from the regal seat.

Yi Yun looked over and on the regal seat sat a white-haired man, but he looked extremely young, like he was a teenager. His aura was unfathomable from where he sat.

The man was also wearing an emperor's robe, but it was slightly different from the emperor's robe that Emperor Luo wore.

As for Emperor Luo, he was sitting on the right hand side.

Was this person the Third Imperial Uncle?

Yi Yun took a step forward and said with a salutation, "This junior is him."

The Third Imperial Uncle's eyes were filled with endless vicissitudes as he stared at Yi Yun for a moment.

Yi Yun felt like he was looking into the mirror as the pair of eyes gazed at him.

Yi Yun remained calm since the Purple Crystal could not be detected by him. Furthermore, the Third Imperial Uncle was only reading his cultivation realm, constitution and meridians. The more sensitive spots, like the heart and soul sea were avoided by him.

Having attained such a realm, the Third Imperial Uncle was also a genius with providence bestowed upon him. He too had his own opportunities, so he guessed that Yi Yun must have obtained certain opportunities, but he naturally would not covet the opportunities of a junior.

If the elders frequently snatched the opportunities of juniors, such a faction was not far from its end. Furthermore, the Third Imperial Uncle knew that he had used up his potential. Most of his lifespan had been depleted, and it was impossible for him to make a breakthrough. The same opportunity in his hand would definitely not be as effective as if it were in the hands of a junior.

"A minor Seamless pure Yang body and Heaven-Devouring Wyrm bloodline. I've also heard that your perception is extremely amazing… " The Third Imperial Uncle spoke. "Perception is also a form of talent. With superb perception, you can go far down the path of martial arts as well."

"Little Yun, my Third Imperial Uncle seldom praises people. It looks like he's very pleased with you." Luo Huo'er transmitted her voice to Yi Yun.

"Is that so? However, your Third Imperial Uncle isn't as I imagined." Yi Yun replied.

"Why? Did you think that he would be some old fogey?" Luo Huo'er giggled. In fact, she was somewhat astonished back when she first met the Third Imperial Uncle.

When Yi Yun looked at the Third Imperial Uncle again, he noticed that he was looking at a shadow in the palace.

When Yi Yun looked over, the shadow suddenly began to distort. Following that, a woman stepped out of the shadow.

The woman looked like a drawing in the beginning, but as she walked out of the shadows, her facial features seemed to suddenly turn clear.

She was a beautiful woman, dressed in a bright red skirt. Her skin was brilliantly fair, and her eyes were like deep and dark pools, exuding a strange air in them.

"Indeed, the aura that I just sensed is the arrival of the esteemed ambassador." The Third Imperial Uncle stood up and said.

Upon hearing the Third Imperial Uncle's words, everyone present was astonished. They also realized that even with the woman standing in front of them, they could not sense her presence.

The Third Imperial Uncle was the only person in the entire palace who sensed the the woman's appearance.

"There's no need to address me in this way. I am Shui Ningshuang." The red-dressed woman took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the regal throne. "I'm here on behalf of my master to greet the Third Imperial Uncle."

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!"
