Chapter 285: Bearing the Weight

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations  Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Other than power, there was still one more characteristic the earth had: it endured the weight of everything in the world.

The world nurtured all lives and endured their weight. Regardless of if there were volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, or various other natural disasters, the earth quietly accept them all.

Even if a nuclear bomb were to explode or if it were the attack of a Divine level expert at full power… to the earth, they were all nothing.

Erudite, profound, vast… These were other characteristics the earth had. This was also the greatest level of profoundness behind the Mountain Shifting Sword. As the saying went, one had ‘to be calm, enduring, and unmoving like the earth’.

Under added levels of increasingly violent power, at the very end, what the Mountain Shifting Sword possessed was the most powerful defence.

After Ronan unleashed his full powers, his entire body had produced a mysterious connection with the valley, forming exchanges between their qualities and between the ether particles.

Upon mastering the greatest heights of the level 15 Mountain Shifting Sword, Ronan’s body was connected together with the valleys.

Ronan might not be able to truly be as vast and profound as the earth, but he could channel most of the attacks received by his body onto the mountain valleys, letting them withstand the impacts of Fang Xingjian’s Terra Ingurgitation.

‘If you were to use the power of all the valleys to crush me, I’ll use the power from all the valleys to defend against you!’

At this moment, their sword techniques, their mental spirits, and their auras clashed against each other, forming a mysterious cycle.

Finally, Ronan’s fingers touched the tip of Fang Xingjian’s sword, and the entire world seemed to quiet down at this moment. The clouds in the sky stopped drifting, and the suspended mountains and rivers, as well as the wind, all grew silent.

Rota and the two students opened their mouths wide, trying to stabilize themselves.

In the next moment, violent air currents shot out from Ronan’s fingertips and the tip of Fang Xingjian’s sword. Several ten thousand kilograms of sand and dust were thrown up into the air explosively, covering the two figures.

An unbelievable amount of force was thrown onto Ronan, which he then channelled into the valleys. The earth, which had been about to suspend earlier, now seemed to be slapped down brutally by a formless palm, creating massive cracks and explosions which reached far out into the land.

The mountains exploded and cliffs crumbled, turning into countless huge rocks, sand, and dust falling down; this was an avalanche.

The earth had been torn apart, the valleys pressed together, and the entire stretch of valleys began to crumble; these were earth fissures.

The collision of their attacks had caused the avalanches and fissures so bad that the entire stretch of valleys could no longer take the impact and began to crumble.

In this situation, Ronan could neither see nor hear anything. His entire body was trembling vigorously, each of his bones and muscles letting out a cry as if they had reached their limits. At this moment, Ronan only felt that the entire world was very far away from him.

When he regained his senses, his entire body was aching and numb. He felt terrible, like his bones and muscles had all been torn apart.

Huge boulders weighing a thousand jin pushed down on him. In order to push away all the rocks, he had to throw out a huge force, and after he climbed out, he coughed up a big mouthful of blood.

Now, Ronan no longer had the image of a Conferred Knight. His clothes had turned into rags, and his head and face were all covered in dust. He looked like a miner who had just left the coal mine.

Especially after unleashing an explosive force from his vital energy and blood which burned his fats, he was now no longer a fatty but an emaciated man. His cheeks had sunken in, and he appeared as thin as a bamboo pole, like he would fall with the slightest wind.

This fight with Fang Xingjian had caused him have his appearance changed from that of a Conferred Knight to that of a refugee.
