Chapter 564: The Skyturning Seal (1/2)

Void sword dao, a sword that pierces the void itself!

Just now, Fangyang Xing’s final strike had touched upon the domain of space. If not for the Arcane Golden Bell that Qing Han had loaned to Lu Yun, the attack most likely would’ve ended him for good.

“Sword dao of the void… This sword dao doesn’t belong to you either, does it?” Lu Yun tightened his grasp on Violetgrave, mockery creeping across his face.

Though formidable, the attack had required Fangyang Xing’s full power. Moreover, his comprehension of sword dao was shallower than Lu Yun’s.

Lu Yun had already begun to fumble into his own sword dao thanks to Violetgrave’s inspiration, while Fangyang Xing was still mimicking someone else. As such, he couldn’t truly be called an initiate in the dao of the sword.

“It’s enough to kill you.” Fangyang Xing’s sword hummed in his hand and released an azure beam of light that vibrated the surrounding space.

Hum!

He suddenly struck out once more. The firmament awash with azure light, his attack pierced forward with the momentum of rolling thunder, crowding the sky with a dense lattice of illusory swords.

Faster than one could blink, he stabbed forth a full eighty-one times, each thrust filled with monstrous power. Those eighty one swords assaulted not only Lu Yun, but also the meditating Jing Huaci, who was in the middle of refining the Timelight Tower.

Each of them is as strong as the attack from earlier! He really isn’t pulling any punches! Lu Yun trembled in the face of the pressure bearing down on him. Whatever, let’s do this! He gritted his teeth.

Boom!

Eighteen karmic fruits went up in flames and flooded his body with the colossal power of virtuous merit. Hellfire simultaneously erupted as well, its black flames setting his body aflame.

Hummm.

A peculiar violet sword light blossomed his hand as he slashed forward.

Vast Dragon Seaturner!

Peng of Kun!

Starstream Stroke!

Endless Cosmic Ocean!

Four sword forms blended perfectly into one, combining and fusing together to give rise to endless variations. And in that instant—

From one, the sword also became eighty-one as it collided with Fangyang Xing’s swords. Violet and azure entwined together in the air before canceling each other out.

A terrifying energy deluged Lu Yun’s body.

Puff!

Blood steamed out of his pores as he sagged to the ground, devoid of strength. Meanwhile, Fangyang Xing was sent flying by the impact. A Lu Yun who’d been boosted by the might of hellfire and eighteen karmic fruits wasn’t something that could be withstood by a void-realm immortal that was yet to undergo their immortal tribulation.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle.

Strange noises emitted from Lu Yun’s body as his wounds healed at an incredible rate, and it wasn’t long before he slowly stood up again.

“It looks like I’ve underestimated you!” He gingerly moved his body about, a hint of relief on his face.

He’d used the Tome of Life and Death just now to steady his consciousness and protect his nascent spirit, so the injuries he’d sustained were merely flesh wounds. His soul remained unharmed, and the six paths of nascent spirit in his consciousness deployed the Tome of Life and Death to heal his injuries.

“What, this… this is impossible!” Fangyang Xing gawked in shock. He clambered back up painfully and swallowed a few pills, barely keeping his injuries under control. The attack he’d deployed just now was his strongest move.
