30 Chapter 30: Tensa Zangetsu (1/2)
The sword in front of him started to glow brightly before it fires an energy towards the dragon. The dragon immediately avoided it but the energy actually pierces the mountain. The energy around the air started to form into a gigantic tornado and destroy the hallway in the cave. The dragon covers itself with its wings to avoid falling debris. The mountain after that explode and the tornado of energy skyrocket into the sky, piercing the heavens itself. The tornado of blue energy was massive until it covers the whole mountain. The energy tornado was spinning faster and faster until it swept everything nearby the mountain. Lightning were form from the tornado itself and strike the nearby area.
All over Profound Sky Continent, various sects, clans and the sacred ground were aware of the energy fluctuation in the air. The fluctuation was impossible to be ignored and interrupts even cultivators in secluded or meditation.
Somewhere on the Profound Sky Continent.
The old sage cultivating in the nearby mountain suddenly stood up and looked towards the direction of source. ”Could it be the birth of a genius?”
The old sage immediately sends a message towards his sect and orders to mobilize their elders to recruit this genius. If this genius able to produce this kind of phenomenon. This genius will one day ascend into the realm of legends. The real of the Divines.
Somewhere in the snowy mountain region.
Various female cultivators as well as their sect master suddenly points their head towards the signature of the energy.
”What is this energy?” ”What kind of monster able to produce this kind of phenomenon?” ”Is it a monstrous genius?” Their sect master actually thought and tried to find the genius to recruit him or her to her sect. She immediately mobilizes her seven guardians towards the source and find this genius. She will spare no effort in recruiting this genius even if the genius was a male. The energy also alerts one of their dazzling disciple in their sacred hall.
This energy? Could it be…
A female disciple was interrupted from her cultivation and she looked towards the source. Her white hair was flowing slowly in the air as she started to shiver from this feeling. Her beautiful face started to grow brightly and she was blushing which radiates her beauty. She knows this energy very well. There's only one person in the world can use this kind of energy.
”So, you are getting stronger and stronger this passing hour. Am I still worthy of being your wife?” she murmured slowly before going back into cultivation but she was not in focus and continued to observe the direction of the fluctuation.
On top of this sect, Yun Che's transformation wasn't go unnoticed by couple of watchers on top of a cloud. ”Master, this energy. It feels like the heavens itself. What kind of realm is this to give birth to such dazzling person?” a female voice sounded on top as if she was speaking to another person.
”I don't know, but we are not allowed to interfere with the affair of mortals. My disciple. Even if the strength that will rival the heavens is birth into this world.” The figure replied her disciple. She admits, she was curious herself. However, the rule from up there was never to interfere even if the realm shatter itself. She had to complied to it. This energy will one day rebel towards the heavens itself.
”Rival the Heavens?” The disciple was shocked. She admits she wanted to go and have a look but if her master forbids her to go. Then, all she could do was stay by her side and cultivate. Her eyes are still glued towards the direction of the energy.
The fluctuation alerts everyone on Profound Sky Continent. Aside from cultivators, nearby hollows are alerted as well and started to run and fly towards Yun Che's position. The birth of a new power cause the hollows' hunger to grow larger. The ancient clan, sects and the sacred ground spared no effort in mobilizing their fastest ride and cultivators towards Yun Che's position. They noticed that cultivators from various sects are ahead of them. This time they must have the strength to fight them if situation is too dire.
The energy tornado slowly dies down. The blast destroys the cave and reveals a large hole in the mountain. Clear sky shines into the hole allowing both dragon and human see each other.The dragon opens its wings to observe the mortal's transformation. Its eyes slowly gaze the mortals figure as it slowly shows up in its vision. The tornado of energy concentrates itself at the hand of the figure before dispersing itself showing the figure's full view.
The figure was Yun Che himself, he was wearing a long sleeve black coat with red linings. The coat was closed at his chest and left to flare out into ragged ends. Instead of holding a large blade, his blade was compressed into a small, long and black Japanese sword. The cross guard has four prongs bend out to form the shape of a manji. His raven shaped hair still has no changes and he was looking with the two tomoe sharingan in his eyes. His appearance right now will sway any female looking at him as his coat and hair sway itself by the wind.
”Tensa Zangetsu” (Heaven Chained Slaying Moon) He said slowly indicating his transformation was complete.
[Ding…. Congratulation in unlocking the achievement 'Bankai'. Unleashed Bankai for the first time.]
Rewards: 10000XP and 1000SP
”Damn I feel so cool right now. So this is how a Bankai feel. I never actually used it even during training with any of my spirits. The spirits said that Bankai can only be unleashed in the real world.” Yun Che said in his heart as he observes Tensa Zangetsu in his right hand. The blade itself was pure black and it felt really heavy. This small thing weights around a ton for a small blade. Good thing his arm strength was reinforced with his cultivation. Its hilt had red linings just like a Japanese sword and chain a short chain was sticking up from the end of the sword.
As Yun Che was admiring his sword. Jasmine was shocked to the core once more. Yun Che once said that the spirit's name is the one powering them. Achieving Bankai means the spirit entrust him with their real name allowing him to fully unleashed them to the world. She heard the name 'Zangetsu' means Slaying Moon in her language. However, when he used Bankai, the name changes to Heavenly Chained Slaying Moon. The name challenged the heave ns itself. She once thought that Bankai only changes the appearance of his sword but she didn't expect that Bankai actually draws this much power from him. If this Bankai is that powerful, what happen if he used the rest of his other bankais?
Yun Che's cultivation was still the same. However, his spirit force took a drastic change. The destruction capabilities of his spirit force was upgraded. He also gains additional 20% spirit force pool allowing him to rack up more attacks. His recent technique requires 25% of his spirit force regardless the amount of spirit force he had. The larger the spirit pool, the powerful the attack he can cast. Tensa Zangetsu also allowing him to become even faster and his flash step techniques used less spirit force than normal.
”MORTAL, YOU ARE NOT HUMAN ARE YOU?” The dragon asked Yun Che after witnessing his transformation. Even if his cultivation didn't change but his capabilities are unknown.
”Who knows, I am not even sure myself.” He said while pointing Tensa Zangetsu at the dragon.
”System, how much time I had before this place is surrounded?” Yun Che asked in his mind.
[Ding…. System has detected fast signatures approaching. Judging from their strength, they are probably at Sovereign Profound Realm. The fastest is ten minutes away.]
[Ding… Mission updated. Obtain the Evil God Seed of Fire.
Requirements: Slay the Emperor rank dragon before the cultivators get here.
Duration 09 minutes 58 seconds remaining.]
”Looks like I have to finish this by 10 minutes. Those sovereign cultivators proved a little too much for me.”
”Looks like the real battle starts now. You overgrown lizard.” Taunt Yun Che. He immediately activated Burning Heart increasing his combat prowess to Spirit Profound Realm Second Level. He wanted to use his Hollow's mask but the activation only gives him three minutes. He was saving to the last minute before using the mask.
”DON'T GET TO COCKY!! MORTAL !!” The dragon once more started to swing its arm to smash Yun Che. Using Tensa Zangetsu's speed, he managed to avoid the dragon's attack easily. The dragon once more uses its tail to attack however the attack was easily avoided. Yun Che started to flash step around the dragon landing blows after blows while enhancing his weapons. Tensa Zangetsu easily penetrated the dragon's scales like a hot knife through butter by enhancing it with spirit enhancement. However, the dragon's size was too large to create a large scale wound.
”Let's try that move for size.” Yun Che thought before flash stepping around the dragon. He immediately activated Broken Shadow Flash increasing his speed to create mirages. In his speed he created from two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two before arriving at sixty-four clones around the dragon. Turns out, Tensa Zangetsu minimize his spirit force consumption using flash step movement. This way, Broken Shadow Flash was easier to use in Bankai rather than his normal form. He uses the movement technique along with Burning Heart allows him to easily surpassed the clone cap.
However, he also needed to be wary of his spirit consumption.
