Chapter 547 - Wiping Out The Heavenly Cloud Country (3) (2/2)
Yun Zhi’s body brightly shone with golden light and her gentle fist seemed to have turned pure gold. Standing far away from Ning Fan, she threw a punch toward him.
As soon as she hurled her punch, the shadow of a white phoenix appeared behind her arm.
The sea of clouds within the vicinity of three hundred thousand li* (500m per li) turned into countless shadows of snow-white phoenix.
Each of the phoenix shadows shattered and disintegrated one after another, transforming into an unimaginable force which condensed into twenty-one gigantic cloud fists which rushed at Ning Fan at high speed.
Each of the gigantic fists was comparable to a Void Glimpse Stage attack.
When the force of twenty-one fists combines into one, even a common Void Pierce Stage expert might not necessarily be able to withstand it.
“This is my strongest attack. Even an ordinary expert at the Void Pierce Stage…”
She said with a confident smile on her face. At the next moment, however, her expression froze.
Ning Fan’s body gave off a dark golden light while exuding immensely thick devil qi. In an instant, he transformed into a six thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall giant in black armor!
The black-armored giant threw out twenty-one consecutive punches, breaking every single one of the cloud phoenix fists. Then, he let out a roar that was as deafening as thunder!
It was a Reckless Devil!
The giant then released an extremely frightening qi which suddenly instilled fear in Yun Zhi.
It was the feeling of being weaker! Yun Zhi’s body refining realm was not weak but when she was faced against a true ancient devil, she was intimidated by the devil might of the Reckless Devil, making her breathless!
“This is… the might of an ancient devil!?”
Yun Zhi’s face turned pale. She hurriedly raised her head and bit the tip of her tongue to suppress her fear. Right afterward, she also shook her body and transformed into a six thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall female giant that was clad in blood-red armor.
The female giant’s body glowed with golden light. In the next instant, she pounced on her opponent and struck him continuously with her punches. The force behind her attacks broke the mountains and rivers in the area!
The Reckless Devil did not take a single step back at all. He suddenly raised his hands and started throwing punches at the female giant. One punch, ten punches, one hundred punches!
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
After exchanging one hundred blows, the bones of the female giant’s fists were completely shattered and she suffered extremely serious injuries. She was already at a disadvantage. Fresh blood flowed from her body whereas the Reckless Devil remained unscathed!
After making a loud sigh, Yun Zhi got out of her giant form and immediately took a pill to suppress her internal injuries. Then, she cupped her fists toward the Reckless Devil and said with a self-deprecating tone.
“I am not White-Robed Marquis’ match. Thank you for showing mercy to me just now…”
As the Altering Heaven Palace Lord, she still lost to Ning Fan even after she had activated the magic-disabling formation and fought him using just their body refining techniques which was an area she was the most proficient in!
All she could do was surrender!
…
In the ninth realm of the Heavenly Cloud Country – Great Heaven Realm!
The palace lord of the Great Heaven Palace, Lu Yu, was a sword cultivator that was unrivalled at the Void Pierce Stage.
He had cultivated the Dao for nine thousand years, putting all of his effort into cultivating sword techniques. He even had the chance to learn from Yun Tianjue personally several times. With his skills in sword techniques, he could even put up a fight against Absolute Void Stage experts!
It had already been three days since he stood at the summit of the cloud mountain of the Great Heaven Palace!
His white hair flew in the air while his gray robes fluttered. He carried a purple sandalwood sword box on his back while his eyes were closed. Each of them had a scary sword cut.
He was a blind sword cultivator!
When the sea of clouds began to rumble, he already sensed the hidden sword intent from Ning Fan without even the need to look at him and knew that his opponent had arrived.
“You are White-Robed Marquis, huh! A mere young man like you can actually cultivate to this level at the age of nine hundred years old. You’re truly extraordinary.” Lu Yu’s voice was rough and deep but it was imbued with a sword intent that was as calm as the clouds.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cloud light within several hundred thousand li* (500m per li) turned into sword shadows and faintly disappeared.
“So you are the Great Heaven Palace Lord… You destroyed your own eyes just to comprehend the sword. You really are obsessed with the Dao of Swords. Others comprehend swords using their eyes and control their swords using their senses. You, on the other hand, comprehend the sword with your heart and wield your swords using clouds. Wherever your heart goes, the clouds will follow. There is nothing you can’t turn into swords. Even if it’s a piece of cloud or a droplet of rain, you can even turn them into flying swords and kill your opponent…”
Ning Fan kept his ancient golden sword and descended on the cloud mountain, pointing out the secret behind Lu Yu’s sword techniques.
Lu Yu was slightly taken aback as he did not expect that Ning Fan would see through his sword techniques with one glance. Therefore, he could not help but feel greater respect for him.
“You have good eyes, White-Robed Marquis. However, with just your naked eyes, you won’t be able to completely see through the secrets of my sword techniques! If you wish to have a look at my rain stele, you have to defeat me first!”
*Chi*
Lu Yu’s body suddenly scattered into countless sword rays. At the next moment, his body reformed again at the cloud mountain, becoming like a shadow of sword light and facing off against Ning Fan from afar!
Countless cultivators around the cloud mountain were bewildered. Even Ning Fan felt a bit surprised.
“Sword Light Body Transformation!”
Lu Yu had actually learned the Sword Light Body Transformation Technique!
After transforming himself into the shadow of sword light, his aura force sharply rose. As he stepped onto the Ocean of Void, his sword intent became thick like a sea of clouds. It even made experts at the Absolute Void Stage raise their eyebrows in amazement!
“White-Robed Marquis, you can’t win against me. It’s better you leave at once!”
“Well, that might not be the case!”
Ning Fan took a step forward and void sword shadows began emerging from around his body.
Just as the void sword rays appeared, Lu Yu’s face, which originally looked calm and relaxed, was immediately filled with shock.
His sword light incarnation that was almost immune to all kinds of attacks had actually felt a sense of danger from the void sword rays.
Minor Void Swords! It was the technique which made Marquis You Gui famous when he was still at the Void Fragmentation Realm. However, after the battle with the one hundred sects, Ning Fan had stolen it using his devil eye and learned it in his heart.
Minor Void Swords was a technique that turned sword shadows into void which could even cut a cultivator’s incarnation!
Lu Yu was hesitating and pondering how he should face Ning Fan’s void sword technique. That technique was rather troublesome which could also break his sword light incarnation.
All of a sudden, five child-like voices echoed from the sword box on his back.
“Little Yu Yu, you don’t have to be afraid. This elder sister will help you break his sword momentum!”
“This second elder sister will help you break his sword shadow!”
“This third elder sister will help you break his sword intent!”
“This fourth elder sister will help you break his sword formation!”
“This F…F…F…”
“She is stuttering. Ignore her. She is trying to say that she will help you break that man’s flying swords! If he sends one, she will break one!”
No one knew what the sword box contained. The tone of those five individuals sounded extremely arrogant.
“Don’t forget. It is the five of us who taught you the Sword Light Body Transformation Technique. Humph! As long as this man is a sword cultivator, he certainly won’t be our match!”
Lu Yu’s old face turned red. He was really embarrassed to be called ‘Little Yu Yu’ by several young girls while he was already nine thousand years old.
If the five young girls act together, Ning Fan certainly would not be a fearsome opponent. However, Lu Yu… did not plan to achieve victory with outside help!
As a sword cultivator, the sword in their hands was their only way to achieve victory and they disdained resorting to unorthodox ways!
“I want to battle against him with my own capabilities! Because I… am a sword cultivator! The result is secondary. Most importantly, my sword heart must not back away in fear!”
“Bah!” Instantly, the five young girls inside the sword box booed contemptuously.
“Little Yu Yu really is too rigid. We might as well find a new human pet to play with.”
