True Martial World - Chapter 1044: The Miracle in the Stone House

At that moment inside the divine tree's restricted zone, Yi Yun's body was swathed in a greenish halo. An indescribable spiritual and ethereal aura suffused through his entire being, as though he would return to the land of immortals with the wind.

Yue Yingsha and Chu He were still outside the Chaos Stone house, but they had sensed the tremendous change in Yi Yun's aura. It was not simply increased but it had undergone a qualitative leap. This leap made Yue Yingsha even have a feeling that Yi Yun was about to ascend to become immortal.

"Yi Yun must have manifested his Dao already…"

Yue Yingsha could not see Yi Yun's Dao Tree projection but she had a vague guess that Yi Yun's Dao Manifestation was likely extraordinary.

At that moment, an immense blast of energy suddenly spewed out from the ground like a fountain. It surged into Yi Yun's body and as he was inundated by the energy, his muscles, bone, and flesh seemed to turn transparent.

As the energy surged up along the divine tree's root network, Yue Yingsha saw a faint halo rising up from the ground. Soon, the light gushed beneath Yi Yun's feet.

The divine tree's root network transported energy to its main trunk, and since Yi Yun was merged with the divine tree, the energy surged through his body. And at that instant, a primordial aura of immensity burst out from Yi Yun's body suddenly.

The clear chimes were still resounding throughout the restricted zone. At that moment, Yi Yun gradually opened his eyes.

His eyes were bright and profound. During the process of merging with the divine tree, Yi Yun's perception had extended to the divine tree's every leaf. Through it, he could sense the entire world.

He had seen everything that had happened in the Door to the 33 Skies, including Felicitous Rain Lord's bloody but valiant battle. He had also seen Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord desert the fight.

He had also perceived the restricted zone clearly, as well as everything inside the stone house that was constructed from Chaos Stones.

"This stone house…"

Yi Yun's mind stirred as he was surprised to find a gray plot of land in the backyard of the stone house. It was likely a tiny herbal garden.

Yi Yun was rather excited when he first discovered the herbal garden. He believed that he might find some herbs, but soon, he was left disappointed. It might have had herbs planted in the past, but all of them had withered by now.

After hundreds of millions of years, without anyone tending to them, any spiritual plant would die.

Just thinking of it ached Yi Yun's heart. Such a miraculous ground with more than a hundred million years would have resulted in heaven-defying herbs. Just the thought of it could drive people into a frenzy.

But now, the herbal plants had turned to dust and they had returned to land. It did nothing but advantage the gray soil. After absorbing so much spiritual energy from the spiritual herbs, it was unknown how incredibly fertile the soil was.

Yi Yun was even considering if he should take a bit of the soil for the cultivation of herbs. Just as he was thinking of that, he exclaimed lightly as he suddenly discovered that the gray soil was in no way ordinary. The feeling the soil gave was identical to the Chaos Stones of the stone house.

After a detailed sifting through the soil, Yi Yun had even seen tiny Chaos Stone particulate.

Could it be that someone had ground Chaos Stones into powder and added some fertilizer to eventually transform Chaos Stones into soil?

Could it even be possible that the spiritual herbs which had withered and rotted had become fertilizer for the soil?

Upon realizing this, Yi Yun held his breath. How impressive was that? Perhaps only the black-dressed woman was capable of doing such things.

However, it was such a pity that such a good herbal garden had been left to waste for hundreds of millions of years.

Yi Yun could not help but investigate the herbal garden. If it were any other time, the sand that was ground from Chaos Stones was not something Yi Yun could probe. Chaos Stones screened all perception so even a Divine Lord was unable to probe the internals of a Chaos Stone.

However, having merged with the divine tree, Yi Yun's perception could probe within. And the probe left Yi Yun astonished. He saw a lush green ball buried deep inside the gray herbal garden. It was about the size of a peach core and its surface was not smooth. Instead, it was patterned like a peach core and the patterns were formed with an indescribable auric charm.

What gave Yi Yun a greater pleasant surprise was that there was a large amount of gray gas gathered inside the tiny ball. After making contact with Chaos laws, Yi Yun was certain that the gray gas was the nebulous Primordial Chaos!

Back when Yi Yun broke through to the Dao Manifestation realm, he had already absorbed a portion of the nebulous Primordial Chaos, but now, he discovered that in the tiny ball, the amount of nebulous Primordial Chaos contained within was more than ten times what he had absorbed.

Nebulous Primordial Chaos was absolutely rare in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. Even Divine Lords would covet it. If a tiny amount of nebulous Primordial Chaos was infused during the refinement of a treasure, it would increase the grade of the treasure by several grades. But in fact, almost no one would be willing to use nebulous Primordial Chaos for the refinement of artifacts. If they tempered the nebulous Primordial Chaos into their body, fusing their flesh and blood with the nebulous Primordial Chaos, it would result in an unimaginable increase in strength. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

What was this peach core? Why had it condensed so much nebulous Primordial Chaos?

As Yi Yun pondered over the questions, he carefully observed it. He realized that it contained the same aura as the divine tree that held up the Azure Wood Great World.

Could it be…

A thought flashed through Yi Yun's mind. It was a suffocating thought for he came to a realization that the peach core could very likely be a seed born from the world tree!

Everything had its birth and end. The Universe was no different; therefore, the divine tree also had a birth and end!

After experiencing the immense river of time, it would eventually die. And this seed was likely the new life of its future!

A seed produced by the divine tree that could hold up a world was grown in the herbal garden. With Chaos Stone powder as soil and rotten hundred-million-year-old spiritual herbs as fertilizer.

Its value…was completely unimaginable!

Yi Yun was momentarily stunned. If that was the case, it was definitely the most heaven-defying treasure other than the Purple Crystal which he had even seen ever since he began practicing martial arts!

Yi Yun could not help but touch the herbal garden's soil. At that moment, Yue Yingsha and Chu He were still outside the stone house and they did not know what Yi Yun was doing.

"The nutrients in the soil appear to have been absorbed clean by the divine tree's seed…"

The divine herbs that had withered here had long devoted its essence to the divine tree's seed. Even the Primordial Chaos essence contained within the soil made out of Chaos Stone powder had been gathered by the divine tree seed. If the seed continued staying in the herbal garden, it was unlikely it could mature.

Yi Yun took a deep breath as he shook his head. He gently swept away the soil that had its nutrients drained. Then, he realized that his bloodline seemed to be connected to the divine tree seed that was buried deep within the soil.

Oh?

Yi Yun swept aside some more soil and then, without Yi Yun needing to do anything further, the divine tree seed had taken the initiative to push the soil aside and float out of the soil before landing slowly in Yi Yun's palm.

Yi Yun was astonished as he held the seed. He realized that the seed was willing to stay close to him likely because of his act of awakening the divine tree and the possession of an aura that was mutually similar to the divine tree.

Perhaps, he could bring the divine tree seed away.

Upon thinking of that, Yi Yun experienced mental undulations. Yi Yun would not have taken it away if the divine tree's seed could mature in the herbal garden. It would affect the growth of such a divine item if it was taken away too early.

But the present situation was completely different. The ground was already infertile, and the divine tree seed had taken the initiative to follow him. This was totally an unparalleled opportunity for him!

Yi Yun held the divine tree seed with both his hands meticulously with extreme focus. He felt that the seed was the world's most perfect item. Perhaps only the Purple Crystal and its profoundness exceeded the seed.

Just as Yi Yun was admiring the seed, he suddenly felt a cold killing intent.

Oh!?

Yi Yun's turned apprehensive. His perception was fused with the divine tree, so he knew that the killing intent came from outside the restricted zone.

Yi Yun glanced over and immediately wrinkled his brows. He saw Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord standing at the cave entrance outside the restricted zone. They were thinking of ways to enter. Although they had ordinary expressions, there was a clear covetous glint in their eyes.

True Martial World - Chapter 1043: Covetous Intentions

"The divine tree has been awoken. Yi Yun, you have truly given me a pleasant surprise! Hahaha!"

Felicitous Rain Lord broke out into a boisterous laughter in the sky. He was feeling elated because he believed that it was likely for Yi Yun to perish in the Door to the 33 Skies. He had never expected Yi Yun to awaken the divine tree at the final, crucial moment!

"Boom!"

On the lands beneath him, an entire mountain cliff had collapsed. As people stared at it intently, they realized that it was not a mountain, but a second divine root covered by rock. It rose up into the sky and struck the bronze giant!

Two divine roots began striking the bronze giant from both sides with the might of the heaven and earth!

"Rumble!"

Like a divine dragon thrashing its tail, all the impact landed on the bronze giant's massive back that resembled a vast plain. It sent the bronze giant flying out.

The giant, who was a few hundred kilometers tall, could easily send the combined forces of four Divine Lords in retreat despite having most of its strength sealed by the chains. But now, he had been sent flying by the humongous divine roots!

"Clang!"

Dozens of chains tightened simultaneously as the bronze giant grunted in a deep tone. The parts of his body that had been tethered to the chains had been mangled into a bloody mess!

The ends of these chains were embedded deep into his bones, and with the forceful tug, his body began to convulse as he spat out a mouthful of black blood!

The bronze giant fell heavily to the ground, flattening a large swath of a mountain range. The divine tree's roots began to extend out from underground and like an orderly chain, it wrapped the bronze giant in layers.

"Roar!"

The bronze giant let out an angry bellow of disgruntlement. He grabbed the gigantic ax that had fallen to the ground and cleaved at the divine root once again.

The bronze giant's might was formidable, so a single divine root was cleaved into two with a single strike of his ax, but at that moment—

"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"

More and more roots drilled out from underground, and soon, the plain of despair was destroyed. Amongst the countless tree roots that began wrapping around the bronze giant, some had a girth that resembled a mountain, while others were as thin as a human's arm!

The bronze giant's muscles bulged as veins protruded. It was as astounding as a roaring river. Despite having used a strength that was sufficient to destroy a star, he was still unable to extricate himself from the roots.

"Rumble!"

With a loud crackle, the ground split open. The bronze giant was dragged down into the ground by the divine roots along with the chains that were tethered to him.

Regardless of his frantic struggles, his body continued to sink into the land. Finally, he was completely buried underground.

Rumble—

With the quaking ground's tumultuous rumbles, the land closed up once again, burying the bronze giant completely.

It was over!?

Everyone was extremely surprised that despite being extremely powerful, the bronze giant was eventually sealed by the divine tree's roots before being dragged underground.

People had previously believed that they were in a crumbling world which could not withstand the energy blasts from the battle between the divine roots and the bronze giant. However, they never expected that while the divine roots launched one attack after another, the world that was on the brink of destruction was gradually slowing down its collapse.

Now, the shocking land had slowly mended the cracks in the ground, while the tempest gradually weakened to a halt. The entire world instantly turned a lot more peaceful.

The Azure Wood Great World, which was on the brink of destruction, had apparently been saved. It was truly impressive that the divine tree could hold down a world and abate its destruction.

"Hahaha!

Demonic Eye Divine Lord suddenly broke out into laughter. He no longer had the thought of escaping on his mind. The destruction of a great world was a calamity for him after all. Although he was confident of surviving it, the Azure Wood Great World was a very strange world. It had the divine tree, the bronze giant, and it was supposedly connected to something known as the 33 Skies.

Only the heavens would know what mishaps could happen during the collapse of such a world. It was obviously best if he did not need to experience it.

"Felicitous Rain Lord, that disciple of yours truly has some skill. He actually managed to awaken the divine tree." Demonic Eye Divine Lord was standing on the blood-colored skull as he slowly flew toward Felicitous Rain Lord.

"Indeed, indeed. I'm surprised as well. He did not squander the risk I had undertaken to create an opportunity for him," said Shi Xuanji as he flew over too. The two had deserted during battle, but now, with the bronze giant subdued and the world no longer collapsing, there was naturally no reason for them to flee.

Upon seeing Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord, Rime Divine Lord raised her elegant eyebrows. The duo was truly thick-skinned. They had previously fled at such a rapid pace, but now, with everything safe, they actually came back all smiles. It was as though the ones that had fled weren't them.

Rime Divine Lord was a person who abhorred injustice. Just as she wanted to mock the two old fogies—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground experienced gentle tremors once again. It changed everyone's expression slightly.

Rime Divine Lord was unable to deride them at that moment as she said with a solemn expression, "It looks like…that bronze giant has not been vanquished. He is only trapped underground and he is still struggling."

She could sense the pulsations from deep underground that came one wave after another. Like a surging sea tide, every wave stirred her blood flow.

"The bronze giant has been trapped for hundreds of millions of years, yet he still possesses such a powerful life force. The divine tree can only temporarily imprison him, but in that case, there might be a day when he will escape."

"It's not that it's impossible, but I believe that even if it were to happen, there is no way to know how many years more it will be," said Shi Xuanji as he stroked his beard. He was not worried because he could sense that the bronze giant was clearly being repressed by the divine tree.

"Old Man Shi is right!" Demonic Eye Divine Lord stroked his chin as he looked at the core of the divine tree as a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

It would be great if the divine tree and the bronze giant could be subdued by him. Just extracting a bit of the tree's essence would be sufficient for the refinement of an elixir or enchanted artifact. If the divine tree and the bronze giant were used as guardians of the Fey Phantasm Sect, they would ensure a prosperous future for the sect for hundreds of millions of years.

Of course, those were only wild thoughts. Scheming for the divine tree or the bronze giant was completely impossible, but if he…schemed against Yi Yun, who had entered the restricted zone…

Many thoughts flashed through Demonic Eye Divine Lord's mind. He glanced at Shi Xuanji and noticed that he was also looking at the divine tree's restricted zone where Yi Yun was. He was similarly pondering over something.

Ignoring the possible heritage left behind by the black-dressed woman, just the nebulous Primordial Chaos was enough to cause Divine Lords to come to blows.

If the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven were to know that Yi Yun had obtained real nebulous Primordial Chaos in the restricted zone, many Divine Lords might end up swarming here like bees in a bid to capture a wisp of the nebulous Primordial Chaos for study.

Not only could nebulous Primordial Chaos be refined into artifacts or used as supreme treasures to temper one's body, there was also an opportunity to gain insights into the Dao of Primordial Chaos. That would be an impressive opportunity.

"Felicitous Rain, the divine tree has already been awakened. Why isn't your disciple coming out?" Shi Xuanji suddenly asked.

"Top credit goes to Yi Yun for the preservation of the Azure Wood Great World. Furthermore, he has broken through to the Dao Manifestation realm and he condensed so many nine-leaf Dao fruits. He has also obtained a great life-changing experience. Now that he's in the restricted zone, who knows what the situation is in there. Let's go and see how he is!"

As Demonic Eye Divine Lord spoke, a teasing smile suffused at the corners of his lips as he swept Felicitous Rain Lord with a glance.

At that moment, Felicitous Rain Lord was covered in serious injuries. He had less than 10% of his Yuan Qi, so he posed no threat.

True Martial World - Chapter 1042: Returning you an Ocean

"Chimes. Why are there chimes?"

The tinkling chimes were completely unaffected by the storm. It was baffling.

"Sound or not, we should be leaving. Anyone that remains will die!" You Feihua looked towards the divine tree as a sinister smile suffused across the corner of his lips.

What a pity that someone with four nine-leaf Dao fruits would end up being buried here. Are you appeased with that? So what if you aren't?

Revealing such talent only before your death would not change your destiny of never being able to develop this raw talent to its full potential. What was despair? This was it!

At that moment, the huge world they were residing in was facing destruction. The rifts in the ground had already formed countless deep abysses. The sky had already shattered and the black water had dried up. Apocalyptic Fumes filled everything else!

In this broken world, Felicitous Rain Lord who had just burned his blood essence was already covered in injuries. Felicitous Rain Lord was no match for the mighty bronze giant alone!

"Felicitous Rain, I have to leave too," said Rime Divine Lord. Although she had been responsible for suppressing the bronze giant, she had also been injured, albeit slightly. With the clear indication that Felicitous Rain Lord was continuing his deathly struggle, her beautiful eyebrows pricked up. She was still baffled over the reason for Felicitous Rain Lord's persistence. Did he truly believe that Yi Yun would save the world inside the restricted zone?

"Your disciple is only at the Dao Manifestation realm. Even if he is a genius, do you actually believe that he can save such a massive world?"

The corner of Felicitous Rain Lord's mouth was seeping with blood and he could no longer speak. His voice could only be transmitted using his Yuan Qi from his dantian.

"So what if I believe him or not. He risked his life, allowing me to fight to the final moment. How can I abandon him?"

"What if you end up being nothing but ash from your battle?"

"Then ash I shall be!"

Felicitous Rain's Yuan Qi voice resounded throughout the heaven and earth.

Rime Divine Lord's gorgeous eyes were visibly shaken when she heard those words. It was a tough and arduous process to become a Divine Lord. In the entire 12 Empyrean Heavens, every Divine Lord would particularly cherish their lives. To Divine Lords, their lives were extremely valuable. Anything below a Divine Lord was an ant.

She was a faithful person and she had paid a great price for her promise, but she was nothing when compared to Felicitous Rain Lord.

She looked at Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord, who had already escaped into the distance, before looking back at Felicitous Rain Lord. She was momentarily at a loss for the stark contrast was just too overwhelming.

And at that moment, Felicitous Rain Lord's Yuan Qi voice resounded through the apocalyptic tempest in an unceasing manner—

"To what end do we practice martial arts for? If we can't depend on the sword, so what about death? One's true richness of heart is not to be annihilated!"

Felicitous Rain Lord made a prolonged bellow and with his sword in hand, conjured a torrential rain that filled the sky.

Countless drops of rain interweaved through the tempest, forming a massive rain formation that filled the heaven and earth.

The silhouette of his back left Rime Divine Lord mentally shaken. It was extremely difficult for a warrior to practice martial arts. The path of martial arts was an act of defiance against the heavens. Just as Felicitous Rain Lord had said: if one could not overpower the heaven and earth, what use was practicing martial arts for?

To fight for one's belief and not for one's interest—that was the martial path a warrior should take. It was also the path that Felicitous Rain Lord had chosen.

Felicitous Rain Lord had reached the level of a Divine Lord at a young age. His future was limitless and not all of this was dependent on his talent, it was also reliant on his determined mindset for martial arts.

Felicitous Rain Lord's battle was not only for Yi Yun but also a proof of his conviction towards the pursuit of martial arts.

But even so, it was unlikely that anything could be changed. Was a generation's proud son of heaven about to perish here?

While Rime Divine Lord ruminated, the chimes from before turned increasingly clear at that moment. It was like the shriek of a phoenix that penetrated straight to the peak of the firmaments! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

These chimes?

Rime Divine Lord faltered for a moment. She had heard the chimes previously but she did not know what it represented. But now, the chimes had overwhelmed the crescendo of the destruction of the world, striking straight into her heart.

At that moment, the massive divine tree began to tremble gently.

Rime Divine Lord looked at the divine tree as she felt that some form of energy was gradually awakening in the deepest depths of the land where the tree's root network was...

This is…

Rime Divine Lord widened her beautiful eyes as she stared intently at a moving tree root that was the thickness of a mountain!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A large amount of rock shattered as mud poured down like a waterfall. A divine root had finally woken up from hundreds of millions of years of slumber!

"Boom!"

The land quaked, swinging the mountains along with it. The gigantic root was like a dragon that had been lying dormant in the land as it thrust itself ruthlessly at the bronze giant!

This strike was enough to rend the heaven and earth asunder!

The bronze giant's aloof expression changed for the first time. He glared at the divine root with a solemn expression.

"Roar!"

The bronze giant let out a terrifying roar as he sent the heavily injured Felicitous Rain Lord back a thousand feet in order to face the hefty root of the divine tree.

With his enormous bronze ax, he cleaved forcefully at the divine root!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A terrifying impact seemed to tear apart at everything. Dozens of metallic chains suddenly turned taut from the impact as they produced tumultuous clanging sounds!

A terrifying blast of energy emanated in every direction from the impact. Demonic Eye Divine Lord, who had felt safe after retreating a great distance away, was alarmed.

Could it be that the divine tree had been awoken? How could it be possible?

"Bam! Bam! Bam!"

Beside Demonic Eye Divine Lord, his blood-colored skull trembled violently. In just an instance, the skull had suffered a heavy blow from the energy shockwave. It was nearly torn apart by the immense energy.

This made Demonic Eye Divine Lord feel incredulous. This was just an aftershock, but it was so powerful!? What would happen if one was directly hit by the divine root?

And at that moment, Demonic Eye Divine Lord had already seen the divine root strike a second time after deflecting the bronze ax. Its speed was stifling fast. Even the mighty bronze giant could not defend against the second strike in such a short period of time.

"Boom!"

The strike from the divine tree made a direct hit on the bronze giant's back. It ripped apart his skin and shattered his vertebrae. With a muffled grunt, his body took a few steps back, with each fracturing the ground.

Black blood began spewing out of the bronze giant's body like a black torrential rain. Felicitous Rain Lord was stunned when he saw the scene. In the distance, Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord were left even more dumbfounded. They were certain of a single thing. The divine tree had really awoken!

Yi Yun had awoken it?

With his Dao Manifestation realm cultivation, he had managed to awaken the world astounding divine tree that had been slumbering for hundreds of millions of years?

Rime Divine Lord experienced shock piled on top of shock. Felicitous Rain Lord had risked his life to create an opportunity for Yi Yun, and the latter had really managed to grasp it.

"Yi Yun really did it. His cultivation level was indeed insufficient at awakening the divine tree. However, he managed to fuse with the Dao of Primordial Chaos in such a short period of time, producing a nine-leaf Destruction Dao fruit, breaking through to the Dao Manifestation realm in one shot. He then managed to shake the world with the divine tree!"

Rime Divine Lord failed to calm her stormy feelings despite taking several deep breaths. There were too many warriors that acted in bad faith. Few people showed valor and passion.

Felicitous Rain Lord had managed to do it, while his disciple had really evolved into a dragon from a golden carp after the encountering of a storm.

Felicitous Rain Lord had given Yi Yun a river, but Yi Yun had returned him an ocean!

True Martial World - Chapter 1041: Awakening

Yi Yun had condensed his Dao fruit. A Nine Transformations Red Lotus propped up the nine-leaf Dao fruit, with every petal matching a Dao leaf. The symbolization of nine flower petals and nine Dao leaves could be considered perfection!

However, how could the mark the peerless woman left behind appear on Yi Yun's Dao fruit? Could it be that Yi Yun had inherited her heritage?

Even if the restricted zone had any heritage, it was bound to be extremely profound. How could a junior like Yi Yun be able to gain insights into the laws left behind by the peerless woman?

Neither Shi Xuanji or Demonic Eye Divine Lord could figure it out. From their point of view, even if the black-dressed woman had really left behind heritage, they were the only ones qualified to receive it. And after receiving it, it was necessary for them to expend a great deal of time to gain any insight from it.

At that moment, the nine flower petals had condensed into a physical form. It was a phenomenon to see a red lotus propping up a Dao fruit!

It was already a miracle for a typical peerless genius to condense a nine-leaf Dao fruit, but now, with Yi Yun's last nine-leaf Dao fruit, it was not only more than twice the size of an ordinary Dao fruit, it was also accompanied by the phenomena of having a nine-petaled red lotus. This made people suspect that there were two nine-leaf Dao fruits fused into one!

"Hahaha! Good! Well done!"

Felicitous Rain Lord slashed through the bronze giant's gigantic ax beam. His azure-colored clothes were already stained red with blood. In the tempest, he had seen Yi Yun's Dao fruits as he laughed boisterously. "Primordial Chaos laws. Yi Yun has really gained insights into it!"

Felicitous Rain Lord had previously suggested bringing Yi Yun along to the Azure Wood Great World in order to allow him to pursue his own martial path. It was a way for him to act in accordance with his actual wishes. It was simply an attempt, but the chance of success was undoubtedly extremely minute.

However, he never expected for Yi Yun to succeed in gaining insights into the Primordial Chaos laws in such a dire situation!

Yi Yun's laws of destruction and laws of Primordial Chaos complemented each other. They were both the Universe's Great Dao of Origins.

…

Yi Yun had merged with the divine tree and he had condensed his Dao fruits. The immense energy of the divine tree began to steadily surge into his body. Yi Yun, who had previously attempted to manifest his Dao, had easily succeeded in one fell swoop on his second attempt!

The Dao fruits were hanging on the Dao Tree. They were like the Heavenly Dao and they could only be described by immaculate perfection.

A total of four nine-leaf Dao fruits, with the Dao fruit of Major Destruction at the crest. The three Dao fruits beneath it formed a triangle, as though they were surrounding and protecting the Dao fruit of Major Destruction.

Such a phenomenon of Dao fruits was something completely unheard or unseen in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven.

Shi Xuanji felt the skin on his face constantly twitching, as though he had been ruthlessly slapped several times in the face by someone.

How ludicrous was Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple? When compared to Yi Yun, the geniuses he had nurtured in the Immortal Rain Sect were a completely unbearable sight. Demonic Eye Divine Lord's expression was equally ugly. The geniuses of his Fey Phantasm Sect were not much better than the Immortal Rain Sect.

But in an instant, Demonic Eye Divine Lord realized that even if Yi Yun had displayed his magnificent talent, so what? The world they were in was about to be destroyed!

"So what if there are four nine-leaf Dao fruits? The Azure Wood Great World is about to be destroyed at any moment. No matter how much a genius he is, he is only at the Dao Manifestation realm. He will still die here! Felicitous Rain, what's the point of continuing such arduous persistence!? Your disciple is destined to perish! A short-lived genius is not called a genius!"

Demonic Eye Divine Lord's words tore through the Yuan Qi storms and entered Felicitous Rain Lord's ears.

Shi Xuanji revealed a sneer as well. What Demonic Eye Divine Lord said was the truth.

Regardless of how astounding or spectacular Yi Yun was, he would die here today.

"Felicitous Rain, come back! You can't persist any longer. If this goes on, you will be severely injured. You will not have any remaining strength to withstand the storms produced from the explosion of the world. There is still time if you retreat now. Although you have depleted 90% of your Yuan Qi, I will guarantee your safety. After this, return with me to the Immortal Rain Sect. That is where you belong."

"Where I belong? Hmph! My actions have always been to have a clear conscience!"

"Our pursuit of martial arts was always about going against the heavens. It's to blaze a way through all obstacles and to make sacrifices without any heed for safety. A martial path is forged out of thin air from impossibility! As for the both of you, all you do is scheme daily, weigh the pros and cons of everything and remain jealous of geniuses. Your martial arts is only this and nothing more!" Felicitous Rain Lord said in an unbridled manner. With a loud roar, he spat a mouthful of blood essence onto his sword. "I have practiced martial arts my entire life. My path exists in my heart. There is no need for the advice of others!"

With a sword in hand, sourcing from his intent, the Three-foot Passage Sword slays all that is unjust!

Shi Xuanji was stupefied when he saw Felicitous Rain Lord ignore the effects of burning his blood essence while charging at the bronze giant once again.

Madness! This was complete madness!

Although Felicitous Rain Lord had said those words in an extremely unbridled manner, he would die if he continued fighting in such a manner.

The bronze giant was extremely terrifying. Rime Divine Lord had no relationship with Yi Yun, so all she did was partially restrain the bronze giant. More than 80% of the pressure was on Felicitous Rain Lord!

A sword beam flashed as it tore through the tempest!

Demonic Eye Divine Lord said with a sneer, "What an impenetrable thick head. Then die with your disciple here. Let's go!"

"Sigh!" Shi Xuanji let out a long sigh. With the situation developing to that point, he could no longer stop it either.

It was not worth it to risk one's life for a junior that was fated to die.

However, just as Shi Xuanji retreated while Demonic Eye Divine Lord summoned the blood-colored skull in preparation to stow his disciples inside, he suddenly heard a series of pleasant chimes.

It was like a wind chime producing melodious tinkles in a gentle breeze. If they were in a young lady's classic boudoir, such a series of sounds would have been exceedingly normal. However, there were no gentle breezes in the land of doom known as the Door to the 33 Skies. With only the tempest that was annihilating the world, how could there be such a pleasant-sounding tinkle of a wind chime?

"Ding Ding Ding."

The chimes that sounded as though they came from ancient times sounded once again. Even in a world that was crumbling everywhere, it could be heard clearly.

At that moment, a faint halo bloomed from the tip of the divine tree. It was like the break of dawn, with the first light coming from the east, penetrating the endless darkness…

The halo turned from a weak glow to an intense luminescence, It was like a roaring inferno that was consuming the firmaments!

"This is…"

At the boundary of the battlefield, an old hunched figure of a woman that looked like a withered piece of wood lay on bloodstained rubble. Her body was covered in blood and her skin had been drained of its color. There was not much life left in her.

The drawn out sounds of the chimes resounded in her ear, but to her, it sounded like the sweet music from paradise. At the moment before her death, she suddenly regained a bit of vitality as she attempted to reach out her withered palm. However, she was too weak to lift her quivering hand. All she could do was rummage the bloodstained soil.

"Chimes…Chimes…"

A final indignation and obsessiveness had lingered in Granny Yin's heart. She knew that the sect's canon mentioned of the result of winds blowing at the divine tree. Chimes in the Door to the 33 Skies would be like the music from paradise that extolled throughout the Azure Wood Great World.

However, she had never heard the sound before. She once believed that the chimes would not sound again forever.

But today, with her at Death's doorstep, she had heard the chimes from the divine tree.

She tried hard to open her eyes, in the hopes of seeing the divine tree that met the wind. However, her eyes were already blind for there was only blood in her sockets. There was no way to open them.

But even so, she no longer had any regrets left.

She had heard the chimes. The corners of her wizened mouth suffused a peaceful smile.

As she listened to the melodious chimes, she fell into an eternal sleep.

Was it really him? That youth had finally awoken the divine tree that had been slumbering for eons…

True Martial World - Chapter 1040: Major Destruction Dao Fruit

One of the two Dao fruits was shimmering with the golden brilliance of pure Yang that radiated to infinity like a tiny sun.

As for the other fruit, it was lingering with the aura of time laws. It was like an ancient treasure that was eventually born after absorbing the infinite worldly essence after several epochs.

At that moment, the world was still on its path towards destruction. However, the two hanging Dao fruits on the branches had attracted the attention of everyone.

"I don't believe that the punk is able to condense two nine-leaf Great Dao Dao fruits. The Dao fruits on the divine tree are not necessarily the punk's." You Feihua muttered to himself through clenched teeth. Back then, the Dao fruit that he condensed was only an eight-leaf Great Dao Dao fruit. Furthermore, it was the law in which he focused in. As for his supplementary law, it was only a six-leaf Dao fruit. Compared to the divine tree in front of him, his results were nothing but garbage.

You Feihua found it unacceptable, but at that moment, his eyes had completely glazed over as he saw with his own eyes sword Qi gathering on a branch. A third Dao fruit had suddenly appeared on the Dao Tree!

There was a tiny sword in the Dao fruit that exuded an inherent sharpness which could be detected at a glance.

The third fruit, a Sword Dao Dao fruit!

In the Pure Yang Sword Palace, Yi Yun had seen and gained insights from a shocking sword scar. It was a strike that could split a world apart, one that far exceeded the realm of a Divine Lord.

And in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, he had also learned the Three-foot Passage Sword from Felicitous Rain Lord!

Times flies like an arrow and the lives of people curve like bows!

Yi Yun's Sword Dao was about being indomitable! It contained the Pure Yang Sword Palace's supreme sword intent, and it could break through all obstacles with a single sword strike!

Dazzling sword beams began emitting from the Dao fruit as one leaf after another began to unfurl consecutively. Every leaf was like a tiny lustrous sword. Finally, the sword-shaped leaves reached a final count of nine!

"Nine sword beams…It's another nine-leaf Dao fruit!" When Shi Xuanji saw the third nine-leaf Dao fruit appear, his face twitched. It was nearing numbness. With the cultivation level of a Divine Lord, such a loss of composure should not have appeared on his face. Furthermore, it happened while in a situation of extreme danger.

Three nine-leaf Dao fruits! If it wasn't for the inopportune timing, he might have begun trying to recruit such a talent for the Immortal Rain Sect!

Unfortunately, such a monstrously talented disciple was Felicitous Rain Lord's disciple. What's more, Felicitous Rain Lord did not acknowledge the Immortal Rain Sect at all.

The Sword Dao Dao fruit hung on the divine tree's branch and was lined beside the other two Dao fruits. The sword Qi lingering above the Sword Dao Dao fruit was extremely sharp. Its nine leaves appeared as though they could fly out at any time. Just a simple glance at it could result in injuries!

Three nine-leaf Dao fruits were unprecedented. Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye had never heard of anyone from a major faction that had attained such heaven-defying accomplishments.

But at that moment, a scene that made Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord completely petrified happened.

Right above the three Dao fruits, a black vortex appeared at the peak of the divine tree. The vortex had gathered unknown amounts of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. Even a land of doom like the Door to the 33 Skies could not stop it!

A black wheel of existence appeared from the vortex and on the wheel, there were countless of demon gods undergoing nirvana, the deaths of all entities and the destruction of a major world!

This was the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence!

"It's the laws of destruction!"

Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye were knowledgeable, so they immediately recognized it as the laws of destruction.

Destruction was also a Great Dao, but other than the legendary Dao of Major Destruction, it would be on par with space-time, Yin-Yang if it were an ordinary Dao of Destruction. As for the possibility of Yi Yun having gained insight into the Dao of Major Destruction, that was something that did not occur to Shi Xuanji. But even so, a Great Dao that was not inferior to Yin-Yang or space-time was something that left Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord's hearts twitching. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

This was the fourth Dao fruit! Why was everything that Yi Yun had insights in a Great Dao!?

"Oh? This Dao fruit's energy is not stable. Why does it feel like it's about to explode?"

Shi Xuanji sensed that the fourth Destruction Dao fruit was on the brink of collapse.

The Great Dao of Destruction was the annihilation of everything. Condensing such a Dao fruit was easier said than done. It could even destroy a person's Dao Tree.

"Haha, this punk is being too greedy with four Great Dao. Isn't he afraid that he will gorge himself to death? How can a tiny body of his be able to withstand it? He can't control the Dao of Destruction. Something bad is about to happen!"

Demonic Eye Divine Lord was secretly gloating at Yi Yun's misfortune when he realized that the fourth Dao fruit was problematic. The collapse of the laws of destruction was not a trifling matter. He greatly wished that Yi Yun would have a Qi deviation during his breakthrough. It would be even better if his cultivation was left crippled.

However, just as the fourth Dao fruit was about to explode, a gray-colored gas suddenly appeared from the middle of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence. As if it was giving the wheel a finishing touch, it merged into the core of the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.

Instantly, all the demons and gods undergoing nirvana in the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, the deaths of all entities and the destruction of a major world had a fresh breath of vitality infused into them.

Demons and gods could undergo nirvana, but rebirth was possible through nirvana. All entities could die, but when their corpses returned to the soil, they would give birth to bustling new life. A world could be destroyed, but it was the beginning of a new world…

Under the nourishment of the gray-colored mist, the Dao fruit that appeared to be on the brink of explosion stabilized.

Following that, it began to constantly coagulate and unfurl its leaves.

At that moment, Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord could no longer be bothered to count the number of leaves. They were staring intently at the gray-colored mist that had been infused into the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence. A tumultuous wave had been stirred in their minds!

They did not recognize the laws of Major Destruction, but they could recognize that grayish gas.

It was the nebulous Primordial Chaos!

It represented the laws of Chaos at the beginning of the Universe. The nebulous Primordial Chaos was an unattainable opportunity for any warrior!

Yi Yun had managed to use the nebulous Primordial Chaos to attune the final Dao fruit. Destruction and Chaos had perfectly fused together. Could it be that he had not only grasped the laws of destruction, but he had also gained insights into the Dao of Chaos from the nascent state of the Universe?

Shi Xuanji held his breath as Demonic Eye Divine Lord watched that sliver of nebulous Primordial Chaos with great envy.

A tiny sliver of nebulous Primordial Chaos was able to crush mountains and a wisp of it was as heavy as a star. Be it absorption, refinement, or using it to construct weapons would make it a paragon of all supreme treasures!

However, he was now watching helplessly as the nebulous Primordial Chaos was being completely absorbed by the constantly burgeoning black Dao fruit. Finally, the nebulous Primordial Chaos became a pattern that resembled a wisp of flowing clouds as it landed on the surface of the Dao fruit.

Seven…eight…nine!

Nine leaves. It was another nine-leaf Dao fruit!

And every single one of these nine leaves was about half the size of the other three Dao fruits. They were completely black in color and veins covered the surface of the leaves like blood vessels with pulsing blood. In addition, there was a dark red luster below the nine leaves. With the passage of time, the luster turned increasingly clear and defined. It was a Nine Transformations Red Lotus!

Nine Transformations Red Lotus!?

Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord both knew that people had seen a mark left behind by that peerless woman when they previously entered the Azure Wood Great World. The mark was so astounding that it made everyone believe that the Azure Wood Great World was a land of great opportunity. It was possible that heritage had been left behind by the peerless woman.

And that mark was a Nine Transformations Red Lotus!

True Martial World - Chapter 1039: Yi Yun's Dao fruits

"What's going on with the divine tree?"

The sight was seen by not only Felicitous Rain Lord but also by the retreating Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord. The world tree that stood tall and formidable had produced a fruit covered in Dao patterns.

"Isn't that a Dao fruit?"

Both Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord had seen countless juniors condensing Dao fruits throughout their lives. Quite a number of them were even their disciples. As the Dao Manifestation realm was an indicator of a warrior's future accomplishments, they would attend the breakthrough of any of their important disciples.

The process of a warrior manifesting his Dao was something they were particularly familiar with. First, a heaven-ascending Dao Tree would be projected. Next, Dao fruits would condense one after another on the Dao Tree's branches.

However, the heaven-ascending Dao Tree was at best ninety-nine deca-feet. Although the height wasn't a ridiculous exaggeration, that was the limit. It was impossible for it to go higher.

But now, the one in front of them…

Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord were on the threshold of cursing. Was this even called a Dao Tree? This was the divine tree of the Azure Wood Great World! It was a divine tree that could prop up a great world like a celestial pillar!

Due to the perfection in height, a Nine Nine Dao Tree was a Dao Tree that paved the ascent to heaven.

However, in front of the divine tree, a Nine Nine Dao Tree was like a shrub. How could a person use the divine tree to manifest a Dao fruit!?

"Could it be that someone is breaking through to the Dao Manifestation realm!?" exclaimed Demonic Eye Divine Lord in disbelief. However, he shut his mouth the moment he said the sentence. He had come to the realization that the only people inside the divine tree's core were Yi Yun and Yue Yingsha. The latter was already at the Dao Manifestation realm, while the former was still at half-step Dao Manifestation. Could it be Yi Yun?

Shi Xuanji had clearly come to the same realization as Demonic Eye. He said with knitted brows, "It's only a Dao fruit. It's still an unknown if it's someone breaking through to the Dao Manifestation realm. Even if it's that punk, it can only prove that he can partially merge with the divine tree, allowing his heaven-ascending Dao Tree to be projected on the divine tree. However, he still hasn't awakened the divine tree. Now, with the Azure Wood Great World already collapsing, what's the point of having a breakthrough here?"

Just as Shi Xuanji finished his words, a rumbling bang was heard as a huge, shocking crack opened up in the ground. It was like an invisible god had split open the ground with a single strike.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Black Apocalyptic Fumes were expelled from the rift like flames. There was not much time left for the world they resided in.

"Xuanji, my brethren, you are right. With the bronze giant here, Felicitous Rain stands no chance at entering the restricted zone. There's no way to save that punk. He is destined to be destroyed along with the Azure Wood Great World. His efforts of attempting to break through to the Dao Manifestation realm is ludicrous. That bit of strength is like an ant trying to shake a tree in the face of a world's destructive power. How lamentable and laughable." Demonic Eye Divine Lord said scoffingly. Yi Yun's death would greatly delight him.

However, his expression gradually stiffened after a few chortles. He had seen the Dao fruit on the divine tree grow bigger in size and become plump. It had already produced eight leaves and it was in the midst of condensing the ninth!

A Dao fruit's grade went from one leaf to nine leaves. It was already pretty good if a Divine Lord's disciple was able to condense an eight-leaf Dao fruit. As for a nine-leaf Dao fruit, it was exceedingly rare. Even in powerful sects like the Immortal Rain Sect and the Fey Phantasm Sect, it was only occasionally seen once every few hundred millennia. The moment one appeared, it was celebrated by the sect with lavish banquets. Overlords from every corner would send their best wishes.

And even so, a genius with a rare nine-leaf Dao fruit would typically cultivate in an ordinary Dao. The difficulty of condensing a nine-leaf Dao fruit with a Great Dao was ten times higher!

What Yi Yun was condensing was the pure Yang Great Dao. As Yin-Yang laws had existed since the Universe's inchoate beginnings, it was something that stood beyond the reach of many. However, Yi Yun had managed to attain perfection in the pure Yang Great Dao. Such a nine-leaf Great Dao fruit was something not seen in several million years!

With Yi Yun's Dao fruit quickly reaching nine leaves, an accomplishment that could affront millions of years of the Fey Phantasm Sect's achievements, how could Demonic Eye Divine Lord feel at ease?

"Pa!"

At that moment, the ninth leaf had finally developed. The speed at which the Dao fruit went from coalescence to formation exceeded expectations. This was because Yi Yun had once attempted Dao manifestation, condensing a nascent form of the Dao fruit, before entering the Azure Wood Great World.

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

The moment the nine-leaf Dao fruit took form, it immediately emitted a resplendent radiance. It was like a tiny sun that had just risen, spreading its golden rays into infinity!

Pure Yang nomological runes began to carve themselves on the Dao fruit. It was a dazzling and astonishing sight.

This was an exemplary perfect Dao fruit!

At the same time—

"Peng!"

With a loud explosion, a pitch-black ax beam flashed. Felicitous Rain Lord had been sent flying by the bronze giant's cleave!

Despite parrying with the Three-foot Passage Sword, Felicitous Rain Lord was still left injured. He was not the bronze giant's match after all. Felicitous Rain Lord's hair was disheveled, while blood seeped from the corners of his mouth. However, his eyes were filled with burning fighting spirit!

When he looked at the perfect nine-leaf pure Yang Dao fruit on the divine tree, he suddenly broke out into a boisterous laughter. His long black hair danced in the stormy winds that could rip apart a massive world.

"Wonderful! Fate had determined that you and I enjoy a master-disciple relationship. If you are able to be like the golden carp that evolves into a dragon under stormy winds, I am willing to be the wind and give you that opportunity!"

Felicitous Rain Lord's voice resounded through the heaven and earth. As he brandished the sword in his hand, his body transformed into a stream of light as he shuttled through the tempestuous winds!

His figure was like a petrel flying through the tempest with the bronze giant as its destination!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground ruptured as the sky trembled, causing large swaths of the void to begin fracturing. However, Felicitous Rain Lord ignored all of that. He battled the bronze giant with all his strength!

From afar, the bronze giant whose massive figure could crush a mountain under its feet was in stark comparison to Felicitous Rain Lord, who was as minute as a speck of dust. This scene seemed to be fixed in time for all eternity.

"Felicitous Rain is mad. He is actually risking his life to battle the bronze giant at this point in time! Is he not concerned for his life?" Shi Xuanji's expression sank. Although he was not on good terms with Felicitous Rain Lord, the latter was still someone from the Immortal Rain Sect. He always felt that Felicitous Rain Lord was a person of value that he did not want to see perish.

"Hmph, Felicitous Rain is courting death. If not for me knowing that his disciple is attempting to break through to the Dao Manifestation realm, I would have mistaken it as his disciple attempting to become a Divine Lord. What use is a Dao Manifestation realm? A nine-leaf Dao fruit may be rare, but a powerful faction can produce such a genius every few million years. In the entire Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, there would be even more of such examples. However, it is still highly improbable that a warrior with a nine-leaf Dao fruit can become a Divine Lord!"

Demonic Eye Divine Lord said disgruntledly. What he said was the truth. There were too few Divine Lords in existence, or the Immortal Rain Sect would not have gone through such great effort to persuade Felicitous Rain Lord to return.

However, just as Demonic Eye Divine Lord said those words, the second half of his sentence was left stuck in his throat because he had witnessed with his own eyes another Dao fruit condensing from the extremely magnificent divine tree.

The Dao fruit was filled with a charm that seemed to flow with the passage of time. It was as though an invisible river of time was watering the fruit, allowing it to rapidly grow.

The leaves began to unfurl like flower petals that had been nourished by rainy dew. The speed at which they unfurled was unbelievably fast. Typically, a young junior's Dao Manifestation realm breakthrough would require a long period of time. However, the spreading out of the leaves only took Yi Yun a few seconds.

One leaf, two leaves, three leaves…six leaves, seven leaves, eight leaves…

When a tiny corner of the ninth leaf began unfolding itself, Demonic Eye Divine Lord and Shi Xuanji were completed astounded. A nine-leaf Dao fruit, a Dao fruit of the nomological time Great Dao. Another one!?

Even a peerless genius could not cultivate in too many Dao. A warrior's time in his youth was too precious. Cultivating in three Dao would be the limit even for a personal disciple of a Divine Lord. Furthermore, amongst the three Dao, one of them would be the main focus, while the others would be supplementary.

The Dao that was mainly focused might not even condense a nine-leaf Dao fruit, let alone the supplementary Dao! However, Yi Yun had condensed two nine-leaf Dao fruits in one shot!

True Martial World - Chapter 1038: Dao Manifestation Repeated

"Primordial Chaos. This is the power of Primordial Chaos!"

Yi Yun's eyes lit up. It was a power that was needed to complete his Major Destruction laws which he had been yearning for.

Yi Yun had been in the Heaven Ascension realm for too long that the amount of energy and laws he accumulated could no longer be contained by his body. His foundations could not be any sturdier, so he should have broken through to the Dao Manifestation realm a long time ago, but he had waited up to that moment in time. Everything was for that particular instant.

Dao Manifestation!

Boom!

Yi Yun's Yuan Qi blasted as the towering Dao Tree in his body produced a projection.

At that moment, Yi Yun and the Azure Wood Great World's divine tree had merged as one. The heaven-ascending Dao Tree in his dantian did not seem any different from the divine tree. At that moment, Yi Yun's Dao Tree was the divine tree and vice-versa!

Over so many years of practicing martial arts, Yi Yun had learned several top-grade heritage techniques, and he had enjoyed several fortuitous opportunities. And for Yi Yun, the law that he had been cultivating the longest had been pure Yang!

"Beginning with pure Yang, I cultivated in the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'. I fused the Golden Crow species as my totem and after entering the God Advent Tower, I dual-cultivated with Xintong. My pure Yang was perfected before I went to Mt. Azure Billow. There, I obtained the pure Yang mark from the Extreme Yang Illumination, pushing my pure Yang laws to the extreme point in the Heaven Ascension realm! The first Dao fruit will be a pure Yang Dao fruit!"

Yi Yun settled his mind and spirit, as the power of his pure Yang burst out. A Radiant Sun appeared behind him as a Golden Crow soared into the air and flew onto a branch of the divine tree.

Sunrise from Tang Valley, Roaming across the World, Spreading Light Onto World, Brilliant Glorious Magnificent Luster, Ten Suns from Fusang, Who Masters Pure Yang!

All the pure Yang laws and Yuan Qi that Yi Yun had cultivated in finally condensed on the divine tree's branches, forming a Dao fruit…

…

At that moment, outside the restricted zone!

Ka Ka Ka!

Large cracks opened in the ground, from which thick black gases spewed out. It was the Apocalyptic Fumes, also known as the rotting gases of a crumbling large world.

When Demonic Eye Divine Lord saw this scene, he said with a change in expression, "The Azure Wood Great World is probably about to collapse! Felicitous Rain, after your disciple entered the restricted zone, not only did he not awaken the divine tree, it has caused the Azure Wood Great World to collapse! I previously said that the punk's cultivation level was too low and that he would not be able to awaken the divine tree, but none of you believed me! Now, from the looks of it, he has not only failed to awaken the divine tree, he might have ended up making it worse!"

Demonic Eye Divine Lord had spoken coldly. He was still holding a grudge regarding the Azure Wood Manor's restricted zone. He suspected that it contained heritage left behind by the black-dressed woman.

The black-dressed woman was already standing at the pinnacle of martial arts. Even a tiny thing left behind by her could benefit a person greatly. And for an item of that grade, how could a junior be able to gain any enlightenment from that. It would be a waste of heaven's treasures in Yi Yun's hands!

Unfortunately, with the Azure Wood Great World about to be destroyed, the restricted zone was also finished.

"The Azure Wood Great World is really about to be destroyed. In that case, the disciples that came to this world would perish along with its destruction."

The person who spoke was Rime Divine Lord. There were ribbon bands swirling around her, giving her an otherworldly vibe. As she watched the Azure Wood Great World's collapse, she sighed inwardly. There had been many extremely talented young people and impressive overlords in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven that had come to the Azure Wood Great World in search for opportunities. However, no one expected that it would be a trip to the gallows. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"Hmph! We actually believed that ton of nonsense that Yi Yun gave. We have really been befuddled by him!" said Shi Xuanji as he fumed with anger. He was still worried about the Immortal Rain Sect disciples, uncertain if they had perished. But now, even if they had survived, they would be doomed once the Azure Wood Great World collapsed.

They were elites of the Immortal Rain Sect, so Shi Xuanji's heart would bleed if they were to be wiped out at once.

However, Demonic Eye Divine Lord had other thoughts.

Unlike Shi Xuanji, most of his Fey Phantasm Sect disciples were with him. He could stow his disciples away in his mobile abode.

In fact, the destruction of the Azure Wood Great World was not necessarily bad for him.

They had been trapped in the Door to the 33 Skies, and they had been facing the threat of death from the bronze giant. It was unlikely he could survive if the situation persisted.

But the moment the world collapsed, the land of doom that bound them would no longer exist. The destructive force produced when a world collapsed was obviously horrifying, but the massive energy radiated out uniformly. Its impact on a single person was not as terrifying. Demonic Eye Divine Lord was confident that he could survive in the destruction and that he would not be lost in the shattered space-time that followed.

Demonic Eye Divine Lord's thoughts were not unique. Shi Xuanji shared the same intention of escaping the moment the world collapsed.

With that thought in mind, the duo suddenly pulled out from the offensive assault on the bronze giant!

Since the world was already collapsing, they had to conserve their strength to withstand the annihilative spatial storms that accompanied the destruction of the world.

"Shi Xuanji! Demonic Eye! The two of you!"

When Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord suddenly retreated, the pressure on Felicitous Rain Lord increased immediately. He was struck by the ax beam from the bronze giant's swipe of his massive ax. His body quivered as blood seeped from the corner of his mouth!

"Felicitous Rain, I won't be accompanying you in your madness! That person is your disciple, and letting him enter the restricted zone was a joke, to begin with. Why would I put in so much effort to protect him? Dream on!"

As Demonic Eye Divine Lord said that, he retreated another few thousand feet!

Although the bronze giant was powerful, it was still restrained by the chains. There was little danger as long as a distance was opened up.

"Damn it!" Felicitous Rain Lord cursed silently. However, he did not dare take the risk of retreating even if he was the only person left. Yi Yun was still in the restricted zone, so what would happen to him if he retreated?

"Oh? Felicitous Rain sure is dumb. To think he still wants to persevere. Ignoring the possibility of him surviving the bronze giant's attacks, even if he can, how much strength would he have left to withstand the spatial storms once the world collapses? He will probably be seriously injured by the destructive power of the world's collapse!"

Demonic Eye Divine Lord gave Felicitous Rain Lord a sinister and bemused look. He even had thoughts of sneaking up on Felicitous Rain Lord if he had the opportunity. By letting Felicitous Rain Lord die in the spatial storms, he could rob him of all his treasures.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The spatial storms grew more and more tempestuous, as the bronze giant's attacks simultaneously struck wave after wave like a stormy sea.

Standing beside Felicitous Rain Lord, Rime Divine Lord had not retreated as well. Felicitous Rain Lord would have been in greater danger if she had left. He might not even be able to last thirty seconds.

In the storm, Felicitous Rain Lord asked Rime Divine Lord, "Aren't you leaving?" It was extremely rare for there to be a person to provide such timely aid in such a situation.

"I have my own principles. I had agreed to fight with you previously, but the premise is that it would not endanger my life. The combined efforts of the two of us can only last us a minute or two. There is actually no meaning to it…"

Rime Divine Lord shook her head. With the Azure Wood Great World on the brink of destruction, anything they did was meaningless.

Felicitous Rain Lord sighed lightly before saying, "You are right. However, I have my own principles as well. Even if I can't save my disciple, I will do my best or it will be a violation of my code."

As Felicitous Rain Lord said that, he suddenly realized that the towering divine tree behind the bronze giant was seemingly undergoing certain changes. The divine tree was shrouded in a fuzzy halo, making it look blurry. The leaves on the divine tree were clearly the condensation of laws.

The nomological Dao patterns were not very profound, but it gave an indescribable vibe of perfection and harmony. It made Felicitous Rain Lord's heart stir.

What's going on…with the divine tree?

As Felicitous Rain Lord was pondering over it, he suddenly heard an extended screech as a gigantic three-legged Golden Crow flew onto a branch of the divine tree. Its body was burning with pure Yang flames as it spread its wings. It dived into the laws that were being coagulated in a blazing inferno!

In the crackling pure Yang flames, a fruit became more and more coalesced, and engraving on it were golden pure Yang Dao patterns. It was…a Dao fruit!?

Felicitous Rain Lord could tell at a glance that it was a Dao fruit that belonged to a Dao Manifestation realm warrior. However, why would the divine tree that propped up a world produce a Dao fruit of such a low level?

In fact, the laws on the Dao fruit were perfect. Even with his insights, he could not find a single flaw. Its perfection and simple exquisiteness were truly profoundness in its simplest form!
