Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Ancient Fairy’s Dao
Below Cloud Mist Mountain, on an ancient, desolate plain, it was now deathly silent.
There were many people here.
But every single one of them was stunned by this battle.
"Someone who has comprehended a Law, comparable to a Young Venerable... Ye Cangkun is so dominant, yet Ancient Fairy has actually gained the upper hand! That girl, what kind of constitution does she have?"
A Soul Master finally snapped out of his daze, deeply moved.
"Sumeru Mountain has always been mysterious. Ancient Fairy comes from Sumeru Mountain; even if she hasn’t obtained an inheritance, if she’s awakened some of her Bloodline Power, she must be formidable. They say there are no weaklings from Sumeru Mountain. It looks like that saying is true after all."
A Demon Lord’s heart trembled as he sighed wistfully.
"Sumeru Mountain is the stuff of legends, after all. So far, has it only produced this one Inheritor, Ancient Fairy? What’s even stranger is that Ancient Fairy is the Celestial Secret Goddess, not a Goddess of Sumeru Mountain."
"That’s not important. What’s important is that Ancient Fairy can fight Ye Cangkun, who has comprehended a Law, to this extent right now!"
"Once Ancient Fairy also gains some comprehension of a Law, Ye Cangkun will surely be defeated."
"A Law? How could it be so easy to comprehend?"
Some of the top-tier experts had also begun their discussions.
In this battle, they were witnessing two new stars slowly rising.
At this moment, Ancient Fairy’s gaze locked onto Ye Cangkun.
Although Ye Cangkun looked quite battered, his condition was still recovering bit by bit.
The Devouring Dao of his Heaven-Devouring Taotie technique granted him an incredibly powerful, heaven-defying ability to recover from physical and spiritual injuries.
"Not bad. To think you could take a full-power blow from me! But... this is only the beginning!"
Ye Cangkun suddenly spoke, his voice like thunder, vibrating in all directions and sending out ripples.
"That’s right. This is only the beginning!"
Ancient Fairy responded calmly, her beautiful face exceptionally serene.
WHOOSH—
In that instant, Ye Cangkun moved.
He once again transformed into his humanoid battle form. This time, however, he didn’t grow larger. Instead, it was as if he had just donned a suit of Battle Armor made of bone spurs, making him look like a lizard with a human head standing upright.
Using his own body as a weapon, he charged directly at Ancient Fairy.
Ancient Fairy herself showed little change, nor did she manifest her Jade Fox Totem. She simply summoned a sword.
A sword, blood-red and seemingly carved from jade.
WHOOSH—
Ancient Fairy channeled her Bloodline Power. Within her bloodline, her power began to vibrate at high speeds, like particles.
At the same time, Ancient Fairy’s blood seemed to ignite completely, its circulation speed increasing by more than tenfold.
A terrifying bloody light radiated from her entire body. Shrouded in this crimson glow, her entire being seemed to be on fire.
She was like a Goddess of War. Her every breath held the terrifying power to absorb the Spiritual Qi of every corner of the world, from every era.
Ancient Fairy struck with her sword. The single slash seemed to embody the true Profound Meaning of the Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao, perfectly manifesting a killing intent and a way of slaughter reminiscent of that very Dao.
The Jade Blood Sword streaked across the sky, its cleaving strikes powerful and seemingly invincible.
As the sword slashed out, Ye Cangkun met it head-on, also unleashing an attack of world-dominating might.
BOOM—
This explosion of power caused all the Force Qi between Heaven and Earth to detonate.
The sound of destruction was deafening, echoing in every direction.
Chaotic Force Qi swept through heaven and earth, shattering the surroundings. A crimson glow surged to the heavens, Sword Qi filled the air, and sand and rubble flew everywhere, piercing the sky.
This corner of the world seemed to have been beaten to a boil. Cultivators scrambled to retreat while numerous Saint Masters, Soul Masters, and Demon Lords acted. They released their Power of Defense to block the rampaging Chaotic Force Qi, preventing it from shaking the disciples they had brought with them to death.
"They’re truly paragons of the younger generation."
"Even our clan’s Divine Child isn’t this strong."
"In the New World, you probably have to reach this level to be considered a true prodigy."
Many of the formidable Demon Lords and Soul Masters sighed with emotion.
Some among them voiced such sentiments.
Many people couldn’t help but nod, agreeing with this sentiment.
This was a true prodigy of the younger generation. Only by reaching such a level of Battle Power could one call themselves a genius.
"Before, when someone said Ancient Fairy could fight Kong Lindao, many people thought it was a ridiculous claim. But now, it could very well become a reality."
"Truly worthy of being the disciple of the Celestial Secret Divine Son, Ye Tianling. Just as unrivaled, sweeping across the world! Just as cold, Unrestrained and Indulgent!"
"This battle is so similar to the one between the Celestial Secret Divine Son and Ye Cangqian back in the day. Except that battle was more frenzied, while this one is more brutal and visceral."
"That one, after all, was a battle in a Small World, subject to many external factors. This, however, is a battle in the New World. It’s a contest of pure strength, which naturally makes it feel more real and brutal."
"It’s as if I’m witnessing the birth of another Celestial Secret Divine Son, Ye Tianling."
After a period of silence, the numerous cultivators began to speak one after another.
This time, there were no jeers, only endless sighs of admiration and many words of shock.
The battle between Ancient Fairy and Ye Cangkun continued.
Ye Cangkun’s War Body became more and more refined, his Battle Power was pushed to its limits, and his Taotie Battle Soul had also been released, empowering and fusing with his Killing Dao.
TCHH— TCHH—
That thick Heavy Saber manifested once again.
This time, as if he had achieved the Unity of Man and Blade, he slashed out powerfully with his saber, as if to annihilate Heaven and Earth.
Ancient Fairy’s expression was grave. She held her sword, ready, and at the same time used an even more powerful Vibrating Power to activate her bloodline, causing the Energy inside her body to vibrate even faster.
Every wisp of Force Qi in her body was vibrating, producing a massive amount of heat through this vibration. The accumulated heat was instantly converted into Energy.
It was as if she had truly caught fire. Her entire body glowed crimson, transforming into a Flame of Nirvana.
TCHH— TCHH—
She struck out with her sword again, unleashing an endless crimson radiance.
The longsword fiercely struck the heavy saber, and Ye Cangkun’s body was once again sent flying backward.
Ancient Fairy also retreated several steps.
Then, with a flicker of her figure, she executed the Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique and charged toward Ye Cangkun once again.
Ye Cangkun roared in anger, a bloody Divine Radiance erupting from his body. His entire being was like an unfolding black hole of Chaos. His Taotie Devouring Heaven Divine Skill manifested once more, and he fiercely chopped with the Heavy Saber in his hand, trying to forcefully shatter Ancient Fairy’s Killing Dao.
However, this was truly difficult.
Once Ancient Fairy comprehended how to use particle vibration to accelerate the evolution of her power, conventional metrics like Battle Power became irrelevant.
The Law of Slaughter associated with the Silent Extinction Reincarnation Fist was powerful, to be sure.
But the essence of particles that Ancient Fairy herself comprehended pointed directly to the core of power.
Everything between Heaven and Earth, including the essence of life, is composed of particles—even the Soul is made of Soul Particles.
