Chapter 672 (2/2)

Xiang Shaoyun knew that not one disciple of the Dragon Phoenix Academy would be a pushover, especially those in the top 10 of the Dragon Phoenix List. His exchange with Xiao Xie taught him a lesson in the weakness of cultivating nine different powers.

If he had cultivated only one power, his defeat wouldn't have been as swift. In fact, he even stood a chance at winning. However, this was a path he had selected for himself, and he would not regret it. In any case, he was already capable of using all nine of his stars at once. Thus, the path he had chosen had already been proven to not be a mistake.

”I have plenty of trump cards. Since you want to see them, open your eyes wide,” said Xiang Shaoyun, whose compet.i.tiveness was triggered. After a roar, he unleashed his nine-colored fog.

Using saber intent alongside the nine-colored fog, the saber energy he sent out underwent a transformation as its prowess skyrocketed.

Xiao Xie could finally feel a sense of pressure from his opponent. Instead of showing fear, he was overjoyed. ”Is this the fusion of nine powers? Splendid. Let me witness just how strong this power is!”

He finally got serious as the stars within him pulsed, shrouding his body with dense dark energy. At the same time, a certain power swept out of him, and his entire person seemed to have transformed into a majestic saber. Two sabers, one nine-colored while the other pure black, collided.

An intense radiance flared, attracting the attention of many people in the Castle of Darkness. Numerous figures flew toward the battlefield. They wanted to see just who it was who had created such intense shockwaves during combat. When they arrived, none dared to approach the battlefield. The shockwaves undulating out were too terrifying. None wished to be accidentally hit by a stray pulse.

”That seems to be Xiao Xie. Who is he fighting? That nine-colored energy feels very odd. This is my first time seeing something like that.”

”That's Xiang Shaoyun, owner of the high-grade nine-star physique. Has he fused his nine astral energies? This is unbelievable!”

”Amazing. Both these fellows are amazing. They are both using saber intent, and although they are using their hands in place of sabers, their attacks are comparable to weapon attacks.”

”That Xiang Shaoyun is quite brave. He is only a second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, yet he dares to challenge Xiao Xie. His defeat is certain.”

”He is full of confidence after fusing the nine powers. Perhaps he really can create a miracle.”

...

The dark cultivators sank into numerous discussions. They had all noticed Xiang Shaoyun's fusion of nine powers, and their hearts were filled with shock. Most of them came from large organizations and were clear on how cultivating nine powers was akin to a dead end.

And now, Xiang Shaoyun had found a way to utilize nine powers in unison. It was unprecedented. Was that a sign that Xiang Shaoyun was the pioneer of a path n.o.body had stepped on before?

Meanwhile, the fear in Xiao Xie's heart intensified as the battle dragged on. With his cultivation level at the fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm, he could normally battle ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators with no issues. When using his trump cards, he could even defeat peak Emperors.

Xiang Shaoyun was only a second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator but could withstand his attacks and make him feel threatened. It made Xiao Xie wonder if the fusion of nine powers would create a new path surpa.s.sing all other paths.
