Chapter 445: True Ability (1/2)

Amidst the storm of sword energy sweeping through the air, Wu Tulong seemed an entirely different person from before. Whereas he’d previously retained a shred of humanity, he’d now turned into a puppet and was completely devoid of human emotions.

Inside Destiny City, the downhearted powerhouses from the Immortal Martial School had long since realized Wu Tulong was no longer his former self, but what could they do? The school’s guardian spirit had taken Wu Tulong away; they hadn’t even known where to begin searching for him. They could only watch on helplessly as he showcased combat art upon combat art that wasn’t his inside the arena.

However, other immortals in the city weren’t aware of the truth yet. Lu Yun had slaughtered the ten lords in the arena, cutting down returned void cultivators like a hot knife through butter, yet Wu Tulong was trading blow for blow with him.

“The Five Youth Sovereigns from three years ago are indeed true to their reputation. They’re as formidable as ever…” quite a few people sighed.

……

“Stop holding back or you’ll really die,” Wu Tulong declared coldly after forcing his opponent back in a burst of strength.

“Stop holding back?” Lu Yun gently shook his head. “I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to withstand a single move.”

His words were met by Wu Tulong’s cold glare.

“It seems this one persistent obsession is the reason why you haven’t entirely lost yourself yet...” Lu Yun’s eyes suddenly shone bright.

Three years ago, the Five Youth Sovereigns hadn’t competed to ascertain the hierarchy among them, and Wu Tulong had always rejected Lu Yun’s title as number one. They hadn’t found an opportunity to fight until now, either, leading to the birth of an obsession in Wu Tulong’s heart.

“Alright, then get ready for my full strength!” Lu Yun suddenly roared, his voice echoing through the air.

An almost imperceptible smile appeared on Wu Tulong’s hard, unfeeling face.

Boom!

A deafening sound boomed from within Lu Yun, followed by an enormous atlas slowly spreading open over his head, enveloping the surroundings with cutting sword intent.

“This is…!!” Everyone in Destiny City stared in shock. Back in the Sovereign World, Lu Yun had once used a strange atlas containing more than a thousand flying swords to eliminate a thousand cultivators in a single attack!

“That atlas… How can he bring treasures into the Sovereign Arena?!” quite a few immortals gasped. “It seems there’s loopholes in the Sovereign Ranking’s rules. Not every possibility has been accounted for!”

“Wait a moment!” someone cried out all of a sudden. “It’s not a treasure, but a combat art—a peerless art of the immortal dao!

“In the primordial era, there existed a formidable immortal known as the Ten Thousand Sword Immortal who could surround himself with a legion of swords! And his signature ability was an art called ‘Sword Atlas…’

“When the Sword Atlas unfurls, ten thousand swords appear!

“This Sidekick must’ve obtained the Ten Thousand Sword Immortal’s inheritance in the Sovereign World!”

Somewhere in Destiny City, the already-eliminated brothers Lin Yu and Lin Xuan smiled wryly at each other when they saw the Sword Atlas’ cutting aura.

“I think that’s the combat art we gifted to him…” Lin Xuan murmured. The immortals of the Lin Clan standing beside the two brothers glared hotly at them.

“How despicable! We gave him such a tremendous opportunity and got nothing in return. He hasn’t made good on his promise yet. Come on, let’s go to Jadeite Manor and wait for his return!” Lin Yu immediately dragged his younger brother in his wake and made a beeline for the door.

“You two, come back here at once!” the Lin immortals almost blew their tops. Those two brats had not only voluntarily given away their own opportunity, but were hurrying along to be someone’s retainers?

Back in the clan, even Lin dao immortals couldn’t keep the two brothers in line, due to their unrivaled mastery of formations.
