Chapter 966: Pure Soul Force (1/2)
“Oh, that’s perfect then,” Lu Yun grinned. “Isn’t it nice I have this sword to beat the crap outta you with?”
He raised a hand and sent another slash at the purple bale spirit. An enormous water ripple of sword light pierced through the heavens and slashed everything within five kilometers in half.
The purple spirit shrieked with alarm and shot fifty kilometers away, slowly coalescing into tangible form. It emitted energy suffused with death and swirled it into a terrifying tornado that churned toward Lu Yun.
This was pure strength.
Lu Yun leapt into the air like an enormous dragon arcing out of a deep sea. Vast Dragon Seaturner!
This was the first sword technique he’d ever invented and the first step of initiation into his own sword dao. The technique had reached great perfection and the ocean of sword qi was now a real ocean with no hint of the energy that formed its building blocks. The sword dragon that frolicked in its depths was also a true dragon with scales, claws, and the look of a flesh and blood body.
It’d achieved Return to Origin—the hallmark of the final realm of great perfection.
“Awooo!” A long dragon croon swept the land, rolling outward in all directions as soundwaves of sword qi brimming with the richest energy of a realm. It disintegrated any yin and dead spirits it grazed, turning them into dust.
The energy of a realm was anathema to all yin and dead spirits. Since the scarlet bale spirits were intelligent, they furiously burrowed beneath the ground the moment the sound rang out. Retreating underground far enough would bring them out of range of the devastating energy.
These spirits were formless and intangible, like a cloud of smoke. Dirt was no obstacle in their eyes and they easily darted below ground.
Luan Qi heaved a slight sigh of relief to see huge swathes of dead and yin spirits flying apart on the field. She quickly swallowed a few pills to replenish her internal energy and looked nervously in the direction of Lu Yun and the purple bale spirit.
Purple bale spirits were infamous throughout the multiverse—death and extinction followed wherever they appeared. Even Golden Immortals of Grand Unity had fallen to them before.
……
Boom!
The sword dragon that Lu Yun had transformed into also barreled down into the ground when the scarlet bale spirits tunneled beneath the surface. The earth swiftly turned into an ocean of his sword qi, shaking the fleeing scarlets back out and turning them into dust in midair.
The snarling dragon then shot back out of the ground and made for the purple bale spirit.
“Waughhh!!” Roaring wrathfully, the purple spirit transformed into an unknown beast that comprised of a dragon’s head, tiger’s body, and two pairs of wings on its back. It crashed brutally into the sword dragon that was Lu Yun.
Lu Yun’s sword qi dominated, but the netherfire within the purple bale spirit also exploded with enormous strength to repel his attack.
……
“Hmm? What’s this?” Hiding and observing from the far distance, Luan Qi noticed small scarlet beads on the ground that were the size of rice kernels. She bent down curiously and picked up one of them “These come from the dead scarlets!”
