Chapter 605: Who Won and Who Lost? (2/2)
In that instant, the state of seasons that belonged only to Xiao Chen alone—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—quickly materialized.
All sorts of mysterious phenomena appeared at a pace where the eyes could not keep up. The mysterious phenomena appeared and disappeared, cycling through endlessly, materializing the boundless Cycle of Seasons.
Until the end of time, even when the boundless sea turns into vast fields, or when light and dark cycle for ten thousand years, only the cycle of seasons will not change. The Heavenly Dao will not stop. Cycle of Seasons!
The force from the saber warped s.p.a.ce. The spatial tear that Chu Chaoyun’s sword created moved back unexpectedly in a strange manner.
When the Bai Clan elders saw this scene, they all could not help but stand up. They muttered, “How can this be? How is the might of the Cycle of Seasons so great?!”
Within the Bai Clan, only the core disciples and inner elders could practice the Four Season Saber Technique. Although they were not as talented as Bai Qi, they had all gained a basic understanding of it before the age of twenty-three.
After practicing it for several decades, many of them could execute all five moves of the Four Season Saber Technique. Thus, they could execute the Cycle of Seasons as well.
However, the might of their Cycle of Seasons was like mud compared to Xiao Chen’s. Even though their cultivations were much higher than Xiao Chen’s, if they competed with their Cycle of Seasons, they would definitely lose.
This was because this state seemed too compatible with Xiao Chen. It even gave the Bai Clan elders the impression that this Four Season Saber Technique was made specially and solely for Xiao Chen.
Bai Qi’s expression became extremely unsightly. He had never felt so defeated in his life, not even when losing to Sima Lingxuan.
Unexpectedly, an outsider managed to bring out more than ten times the might of the Bai Clan’s inherited Saber Technique compared to when a Bai Clan member executed it.
“Boom!”
The Divine Might Eternal Light struck Xiao Chen’s Cycle of Seasons and produced a loud ‘boom.’ A shock wave more than three kilometers tall rushed into the clouds.
Within the shock wave, several thousand beams of light exploded. Flowing water, falling petals, ferocious thunder, blazing suns…all sorts of mysterious phenomena manifested continuously.
As the two fought, the entire Wind Cloud Platform broke and shattered. Pieces of the platform flew up with intense force, ripping tears in s.p.a.ce as they shot towards the spectators like a furious storm.
With such a large-scale backlash, it would be impossible for the four referees to block them all.
Zong Liang’s expression changed greatly. He said in a deep voice, “Elders Wind, Cloud, Thunder, Lightning, Autumn, Frost, Sun, and Moon, heed my call. Move quickly and ensure that none of the rubble strikes any of the spectators!”
“We obey!”
The eight old men on the grandstand emitted the strong aura of peak Martial Monarchs. They did not hold back any of their terrifying strength, disappearing in a flash.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The eight elders reappeared and the four referees immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The eight elders quickly exerted some effort, shattering all the rubble flying out with punches.
“Unexpectedly, all the Eight Great Elders under the Dragon Sealing City’s City Lord took action. What kind of monsters are these two?!”
“This is too horrifying. The quality of this Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion is probably the best in the past three thousand years. It is not likely to be surpa.s.sed within the next thousand years.”
“Sima Lingxuan’s and Bai Qi’s losses to these two people are not unjustified. These two have already gone far beyond them.”
When looking at the eight people in the air who helped out, the crowd could not help the disarray in their hearts. They could not stop sighing.
How strong exactly were these two? To think that it required eight peak Martial Monarchs working together before they could guarantee that the debris from the attacks would not pa.s.s them.
Only after a long time did the turbid shock waves vanish. The light on Chu Chaoyun and Xiao Chen completely disappeared.
Their clothes had also become very tattered. Blood leaked out the corner of their mouths; their faces were ashen.
The Wind Cloud Platform below them already vanished long ago, leaving only a black abyss; it was unknown what lurked inside.
The two leaped into the air. Although they were in sorry states, covered in injuries, their eyes gleamed with a fierce, burning fighting spirit. Their desire for victory had not run dry yet.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen started laughing loudly. He laughed very happily, laughed to his heart’s content.
Chu Chaoyun casually flourished his sword. Suspicion appeared in his eyes as he asked, “What are you laughing about?”
Xiao Chen replied, “I am laughing because heaven is really good to me. It allowed me to experience loneliness and worries, letting me taste the bitterness of the world. I do not ask to be unrivaled under the heavens but to reach the peak of the martial way, to become as heroic as the Thunder Emperor!
“No one within the same generation is a match for me. Those who defeated me before, I have defeated, leaving only you, Chu Chaoyun. Without you, how would I find the drive to motivate myself to face loneliness in this Sky Dome Realm?
“Two years ago, at the foot of Desolate City, you invited me to decide the match with one move. Two years later, I return those words to you. I only ask, do you dare settle with this with one final move?!”
Chu Chaoyun laughed loudly. His sword pulsated with light as he replied, “Why not!”
“Hu chi! Hu chi!”
Outside this Wind Cloud Platform, great flames burned on the other nine smaller Wind Cloud Platforms. The dancing flames illuminated Xiao Chen’s and Chu Chaoyun’s faces, flickering without end.
When all the cultivators in the spectator stands heard that the two wanted to settle this match in one move, they no longer dared to blink. They circulated Essence to their eyes and stared at the two people above the abyss.
“This is too intense. Even that Wind Cloud Platform was destroyed by the two. Yet, they had not decided the victor yet.”
“Chu Chaoyun still has not used the Inextinguishable Divine Light. I wonder, what other trump cards does Xiao Chen have? Could it be that he still has a Martial Technique even more terrifying than the Cycle of Seasons?”
“That should be so. Otherwise, he would not say this. However, it is hard to imagine what Martial Technique that is. That Inextinguishable Divine Light can solidify the Divine-Might-infused light. A peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch’s attack would not be able to break it.”
“It is still hard to believe that Chu Chaoyun’s Inextinguishable Divine Light can be broken by someone under Martial Monarch.”
