Chapter 634.1: Divine Sea (2/2)

The very air seemed to explode, raising powerful currents of sword energy. Dongfang Hao revolved in the air, attracting the currents to him until they radiated out over the minor world.

“The supreme reaches of sword dao… Return to Origin!”

Boom!

Thunderous noises echoed as sword energy filled the realm created by a shard of immortal dao, turning it into a world of swords.

Lu Yun’s lips thinned; he hadn’t expected such a great display from Dongfang Hao! Almost reflexively, he flipped the Demonic Sovereign Cauldron over and used it as an enormous pot lid to shield him, Qing Yu, and her replica.

Boundless sword energy blasted into the cauldron, rebounding as sound waves so ferocious that Lu Yun felt the reverberations numb his teeth and ears.

“Before today, he may really have been able to keep me trapped here for three days, but now...” Lu Yun’s eyes turned silver and he placed a hand on Qing Yu’s shoulder to restrain her from unleashing her starstones.

“Allow me.” Lu Yun rose to his feet. Silver lightning crackled around him before it spread and enveloped the cauldron, snapping the sword energy in its vicinity into brittle pieces. “I wanted to match you with sword dao, but it seems that I’m far from your equal in that regard.”

He took flight with the axe in one hand and the spear in the other. A sparkling sheen of electricity sizzled in the air and ensconced his entire body.

“I am the sovereign of sword dao. As long as I exist in the world of immortals, I will always be the greatest master of swords.” Dongfang Hao sniffed and pointed his sword at his opponent. With a concerted tremor, careening rays of sword energy gathered and rained down on Lu Yun as a dense hail, leaving no possible cover. Every razor-sharp droplet moved at the same speed as the others. There were an innumerable amount of them, but they came together as a single sword!

An endless descent of sword rain cut down upon Lu Yun with the power of heaven and earth.

“Open!” Lu Yun roared and shifted both dao treasures to his left hand. With his right hand splayed outward, he shot out snakes of silver lightning from his palm. His long hair stood on end with silver currents crackling through every strand. He was as if a thunder god, bathed in a firestorm of electricity.

Sizzle boom!

Wild lightning came together in a fury of criss-crossing sword energy. The resulting shockwaves ferociously slammed into the barrier of the minor world, shaking the premises.

Smashed backward, Dongfang Hao stared at Lu Yun with incredulity.

“How is this possible?! Why do you possess such great strength without first ascending to immortality?” Blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth and his widened eyes shone with a trace of shock, but mostly confusion.

“Even Ge Yanxia of the fur seals almost died at my hands, let alone you. I might’ve considered you a threat if you were a void-ascended immortal.” A leer tugged at Lu Yun’s lips. He trod on air toward Dongfang Hao, leaving behind a trail of crackling footprints.

“So I’ve underestimated you, Lu Yun!” Dongfang Hao’s expression calmed. He suddenly let go of the Sword of Chaos, which fell to the ground.

Lu Yun frowned. The bead of concentrated thunder was half consumed; he didn’t know how long he could maintain this state. However, Dongfang Hao plainly had other tricks up his sleeve.

“The firmament as the sheath!” Dongfang Hao suddenly howled. A gray sword shadow fell from the sky and wrapped around his body, driving Lu Yun’s lightning away.

“The earth as the hilt!

“Slaughter as the edge!

“All lives in sacrifice!

“Sword of Chaos… Unsheath!!”

Boom!
