Chapter 1128: Thirty Percent of Power (2/2)

For this last blow, Lu Yun gathered every bit of strength in his body to send his opponent flying. However, Jin Gushen’s strength had also reached unfathomable heights. Lu Yun would’ve had to exert all of the strength from his dao fruit to actually kill his opponent.

But of course, he didn’t actually want to kill Jin Gushen.

The two acted like they wanted to fight to the death, but if any of their moves actually broke through the other’s defenses, they would’ve immediately come to a stop.

“I lost.” Jin Gushen looked up at Lu Yun with a slight smile. Though he’d lost, he’d reaped so much from their battle. Not only had he obtained a method beyond the chaos, but he’d also created his own combat arts and secret methods during this fight.

“The honor was mine.” Lu Yun raised a cupped fist salute. “Remember what I said, senior brother Jin.”

“Mm.” Jin Gushen blinked, then inclined his head before vanishing as a streak of golden light.

His sect leader opened his mouth to speak, wanting to keep the genius with him, but then recalled how Jin Gushen wasn’t particularly close to the divine sect. In the end, he didn’t say anything to have the genius stay.

After his all out battle with Jin Gushen, Lu Yun had fully released all of the immortal dao in his being. On the other side of the chaos, Qing Yu fashioned the immortal dao into a small path that was firmly rooted in this new realm and unobtrusively influencing everything within.

Lu Yun’s sword dao had also reached great perfection. He only needed to use his dao fruit to take it one final step further and erase all of the flaws and oversights within it.

“It’s done.” Lu Yun breathed out in relief and quietly unsealed his dao fruit, resettling everything about his past life back onto himself.

The Inception Spiritrial Arena returned to being six thousand meters across and Lu Yun sat down in the middle, closing his eyes for some rest.

All was quiet around the arena as most cultivators were in a peculiar mental state, trying to comprehend the dao and truth released by the fight earlier.

“Chi Wuxia of the fire elemental divine sect presents my challenge!” A pillar of blazing light suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yun. Chi Wuxia looked at Lu Yun with blinding battle intent. He ardently desired an opponent who could validate his current level of cultivation. The Inception Spiritrial Arena and Lu Yun were the perfect whetstone!

Having just observed Lu Yun’s battle with Jin Gushen, Chi Wuxia brimmed with self assurance. Though Lu Yun was strong, the boy wasn’t his match yet and there were far too many flaws and insufficiencies in his sword dao and combat arts.

Seizing any one of those openings would give him a full chance to kill Lu Yun.

Many refocused on the arena when Chi Wuxia stepped forward; they’d gained a great deal from Jin Gushen’s match with Lu Yun and the next challenge surely wouldn’t disappoint. Rumor had it that Chi Wuxia had obtained a method beyond the chaos from the Tomb of Heaven and Earth! Surely he was stronger than Jin Gushen now!

“The name of the sacred lands is about to return. After this, the nine of us shall work together to become the unrivaled rulers of the chaos!” The nine sect leaders read pure confidence in each other’s eyes. Once their title was restored, their only enemy was the six sacred palaces.

They’d be able to defy the sacred palaces if they possessed their own sovereigns.

“Chi Wuxia of the fire elemental divine sect!” Lu Yun nodded slightly. “It’s said that you tie for first with Jin Gushen on the Elemental Rankings. If Jin Gushen wasn’t a match for me, then you…”

“Jin Gushen?” Chi Wuxia curled his lip. “What the fuck is that guy? He ties with me simply because I can’t be bothered with him.”

“Oh, is that so?” Lu Yun tilted his head. “I barely won by a move just now, so if you’re stronger than him, then you’ll be able to defeat me?”

Chi Wuxia curved his lip arrogantly and placed his hands behind his back. “Don’t you worry, I’ll use only thirty percent of my power so you aren’t too humiliated in defeat.”

He raised a hand and waggled three fingers at Lu Yun.

“Alright, since senior brother Chi is so confident, I won’t hold back.” Lu Yun bobbed his head at Chi Wuxia, knowing that the man was no fool. He was acting this way to force out Lu Yun’s full strength.
