Chapter 445: True Ability (2/2)

“Leave them be.” The clan’s origin dao immortal interjected with a smile, “If they can truly use this opportunity to comprehend formations without foundation, that would be a great blessing for our clan.”

……

A swarm of immortal swords vibrated above the Sword Atlas.

In the three days since returning to Destiny City, Lu Yun had gone back to hell to repair the atlas. Commanding a thousand immortal swords was impossible with his strength alone, but it was very much possible with the Sword Atlas.

At this instant, all thousand flying swords overhead became like a single immortal sword and whizzed toward Wu Tulong the moment the Sword Atlas was fully opened.

A giant illusory sword appeared behind the solemn Wu Tulong, identical in shape to the unadorned longsword in the Sword Divine’s hand. When the Sword Atlas drew near, the illusory sword sprang into action and viciously threw itself at the incoming attack.

Boom!

The impact violently shook the arena and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky. Some cultivators hidden nearby, hoping to learn from the fighting, were immediately disintegrated and thereby eliminated.

“Ahhh—” A shriek suddenly came from a place far away. Blood poured out of the little nun’s eyes, followed by rueful laughter from her lips. “Sure enough, not every combat art can be copied with my skill.”

Crash!

Immediately after, her body crumbled, signaling her elimination.

“Master!” In a small forest outside Destiny City, the little nun opened her eyes and pouted at a middle-aged woman.

The older woman stroked the girl’s hair with a smile. “That Qing Yu and her Sidekick are quite remarkable. If the art had been the Sword Atlas from the primordial era, it would’ve been entirely possible for you to copy it.

“But…” The middle-aged female daoist lifted her head and looked at the arena through the forest’s sparse foliage. “But the art has been modified, and it now reaches the threshold of the ‘dao’. It’s impossible for you to copy something like that.

“Let us go. There’s nothing left for us to do here. The will of the immortal dao has been seized by another, and there’s nothing left of note about this Sovereign Meet.” With a wave of the woman’s hand, the small forest vanished from view, turning into a green bead that landed in her palm.

With a pout, the little girl followed her master in spite of her obvious reluctance. Soon, the two of them turned into beams of light and disappeared into the distance. As for the little girl’s reward, it appeared soon after their departure, but master and disciple were already somewhere far away by then.

……

When the mushroom cloud subsided, Lu Yun’s figure emerged in front of the crowd; his opponent was nowhere in sight. Sure enough, Wu Tulong hadn’t been able to withstand a single move!

“I-is that… Sidekick’s true power?” Many people stared at the arena in shock and swallowed dryly. Since they didn’t know who Lu Yun was, they simply called him ‘Sidekick’.

“It’s best not to provoke someone like him. When he matures and ascends from a void realm cultivator into an immortal, it will take a dao immortal at the very least to rein him in!”

……

Swish!

But at the very instant Lu Yun eliminated Wu Tulong, a sword fell from the sky and slashed straight in his direction.

The Sword Divine had entered the fray.
