Chapter 546 - One Against Four (1/2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yao Daoyi was the leader of the Dao Sect.
A few decades ago, he had already entered the mid-stage of the Immortal State and the power of his Thunder Seal had even reached the peak. Right then, he had progressed to the peak of the Immortal State and his Thunder Seal was powerful enough to defeat a Mortal Deity.
The old azure Thunder Seal displayed its many spell carvings as it spinned rapidly in the air. In an instant, a purple thunder appeared and created a gap between the clouds, striking towards Chen Fan.
“A Spirit Artifact?”
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
That was the first Spirit Artifact he had ever seen on Earth. Even the nine flying swords of Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator and the seven Magus Artifacts of the Dark Witch Sect hadn’t reached the Spirit Artifact level.
In the realm of cultivation, artifacts could be categorized into the following:
Dharma Artifacts, Spirit Artifact, Spirit Treasure, Divine Treasure, Sacred Treasure, Immortal Treasure, and so on.
For the Thunder Seal to be upgraded to a Spirit Artifact, the person had to be at least in level two, and it required more than one Earth Level Deity, meaning that there had to be a few of them in the Heavenly Master Sect.
“I have one too.”
Chen Fan sneered and hit the small gourd on his waist.
Just like a comet, a golden blade aura shot from Chen Fan’s waist and headed to the sky, swiftly flying towards the purple thunder.
“Boom!”
The purple thunder clashed with the golden blade aura and created a thunderous sound, as if all the sects were firing at the same time. The clouds at the peak rolled and the residents at the foot of the mountain were so startled they almost dropped their cups.
“What’s going on? Why is it thundering? It’s not raining.”
Everyone came out and looked over to Yunwu Mountain.
But it was so foggy they could only see a cloud of white mist; a s.h.i.+mmering purple light was also visible.
“Perhaps the legendary Master Chen is back?”
Some of them thought.
“Break!”
Chen Fan didn’t care about people down the mountain. He quickly brought out the Sword of Essence Restoring and struck a purple blade aura towards Yao Daoyi. Although the spell of the Thunder Seal was powerful, it wasn’t strong enough to compete with a Mortal Deity; even Lin Shuming wouldn’t be able to ward it off.
“Rise!”
Yao Daoyi picked up the artifact, looking serious.
The old Thunder Seal spinned in the air, then suddenly flew out with a flash of lightning; it collided with the Sword of Essence Restoring.
The azure Thunder Seal was knocked out, followed by a banging sound. It was a powerful Spirit Artifact and so was Chen Fan’s Sword of Essence Restoring. Chen Fan spent three years refining the nascent form Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator had left and upgraded it to the level of Spirit Artifact.
The impact of the clash between two artifacts depended on their energy.
“Pfft!”
Yao Daoyi groaned and trembled.
His arcane energy was apparently weaker than Chen Fan’s.
“Again!”
Chen Fan flicked his sleeves and sent out another golden light towards Yao Daoyi with his sword. Yao Daoyi’s face fell. His power hadn’t recovered, so it was impossible for him to stop it.
“Yao Daoyi can’t stand it. I have to save him,” Tantai Qingxuan said.
Her fingers stuck out one by one like a lotus coming into bloom and a strange Dharma Seal appeared, which seemed to represent Great Perfection, Great Enlightenment and Great Brightness.
Bright white light appeared from the Dharma Seal and turned into a lotus of a few meters wide, slightly attached to the golden blade aura.
“Bang!”
The white lotus blocked the Essence Restoring Sword for just a while and was split into half. Tantai Qingxuan’s face turned pale and she stepped backward. The Dharma Seal in her palm crumbled, leaving her terrified.
“The secret art ‘White Lotus Protecting Spell’ of our sect can’t stand Chen Beixuan’s attack. How powerful is he exactly? No wonder people say he’s invincible.”
Tantai Qingxuan had just entered the peak of the Immortal State, but even Ye Qingcang couldn’t break the spell, and now it couldn’t even block a strike from Chen Fan. How could she believe that?
But this attack had bought the others time.
“Go”
Dharma-rāja Sakya turned over his palm and a Dzi Bead appeared.
The bead shot out like a comet with a fiery rainbow Buddha’s halo and clashed against the Sword of Essence Restoring. Watanabe then stepped forward; he drew out his blade with both hands and struck down.
“Clank!”
It looked like a lightning strike.
No words could describe it.
The blade aura was a few hundred meters long and it was truly powerful, as if the universe were falling and the world had been cracked. Clouds in the sky were directly split in half. They could feel the power of the blade aura before it actually arrived.
If Takemiya Hiro saw this, he would be overwhelmed with shame.
“The Blade of Heaven Trampling!”
That was an attack Watanabe made with the power he had acc.u.mulated in the past sixty years. A few decades before, he had already reached the peak of the Immortal State. That was why he could fight with Lin Shuming for three days and three nights. Even though he hadn’t become a Mortal Deity yet, this strike was comparably powerful.
Jiang Churan swayed and was about to fall.
If Chen Fan didn’t protect her with his arcane energy, her soul would have been shattered. Facing a powerful attack like that, Jiang Churan felt as if she couldn’t breathe.
