Chapter 59: Chapter 59: It’s Over
High above the desolate land, two lightning-fast figures tore through the air.
A deafening roar erupted as their sharp blades clashed. A terrifying burst of True Yuan caused the surrounding space to ripple and churn.
The two then shot back at extreme speed, putting distance between them.
In the void, Gu Yun and Xu Tianjie faced each other from a distance. Their long hair drifted as if in a breeze, and each held an incredibly sharp saber.
Xu Tianjie’s gaze was icy. He didn’t dare underestimate the Profound Celestial Sect disciple before him, clad in a white Profound Robe.
’A cultivation at the True Martial Second Layer Peak, yet he’s this strong!’
’Is he another prodigy?’
Gu Yun’s cold gaze swept over Xu Tianjie.
As if a faint breeze stirred,
a flicker of thunder flashed in Gu Yun’s eyes and was gone.
Xu Tianjie’s eyes were as sharp as a blade’s edge.
Both men radiated a soul-piercing pressure.
Gu Yun slashed out. His Sword Qi tore through space, transforming into a stream of starlight.
It was like a river of stars falling from the heavens, its overwhelming light illuminating the sky above the desolate land.
Xu Tianjie’s expression turned frigid. He growled, "You’re courting death!"
No longer holding back, he unleashed the full might of his True Martial Third Layer Peak cultivation. Immense True Yuan shook the void.
Then, stepping through the air, he made his Overlord Saber emit a violent hum.
An incomparably domineering, Heaven-Reaching slash, like a raging dragon, bloomed forth. It shot across the sky, cleaving down viciously!
BOOM!!!
The two peerless slashes of light collided, instantly creating a terrifying explosion.
Sharp Sword Qi blanketed every corner of the sky above the desolate land.
Immediately after, the figures of Gu Yun and Xu Tianjie vanished.
They reappeared high in the sky, clashing as fast as lightning.
A blood-red light glowed from the edge of the Overlord Saber,
while the pale blue blade of the Thunder Listening Saber crackled with erratic bolts of thunder, like tiny electric serpents.
They shattered the void, colliding with the speed of lightning and unleashing formidable True Essence Power.
From a distance, looking up at the sky over the desolate land,
one would see two figures battling, their movements too fast for the naked eye to follow.
The sheer scale of the battle,
was like a giant boulder crashing into a calm lake, sending shockwaves out in all directions.
BOOM!
Gu Yun’s blade, suffused with the vast power of Wind and Thunder, clashed with Xu Tianjie’s Overlord Saber, which struck with the weight of a meteor.
The impact echoed to the heavens, followed by a terrifying burst of True Yuan!
A terrifying force traveled up the Overlord Saber from the impact,
making Xu Tianjie realize just how powerful and troublesome his opponent was.
’Damn it, I can’t let this go on!’
He glanced down below,
where Li Xingyue was locked in a deadly battle with a black-robed disciple from the Ancient Nether Sect, a cultivator at the True Martial Realm First Layer who wielded a longsword.
Suddenly, his opponent revealed an opening, and Li Xingyue’s sharp gaze caught it instantly.
In an instant, Li Xingyue unleashed countless flashes of his sword. They transformed into a sky full of Sword Qi that tore through the air with a piercing whistle.
The torrent of Sword Qi descended upon the Ancient Nether Sect disciple like a violent squall.
Faced with this onslaught, the black-robed Ancient Nether Sect disciple’s face went pale with terror.
He tried to dodge, but the incredibly swift Sword Qi was already upon him.
SHK! The Ancient Nether Sect disciple’s eyes bulged as blood sprayed from his body. He collapsed to the ground!
Meanwhile, Xiao Chen’s body erupted in furious flames that seemed to incinerate the very air around him.
Wielding his Flaming Spear, he vanished in a flash.
A glint of cold light arrived first, followed by the spear striking like a dragon!
To Cao Qubing’s utter disbelief,
the Flaming Spear was already descending upon him, the point of fiery light in his vision growing ever larger.
He swung his longsword up to parry.
SHK!
The next moment, his longsword was overwhelmed by the Flaming Spear.
BOOM!
A fiery explosion erupted, and in an instant, Cao Qubing was incinerated into ash by the ferocious flames!
Watching his men below get slaughtered by the other two,
Xu Tianjie’s expression grew darker.
Suddenly,
a slash of light flared in the dim sky. Like a river of stars, it plummeted down, cutting through the sky and tearing space itself,
as it slashed toward him.
"What!?"
Xu Tianjie cried out in alarm.
He then executed some unknown Secret Technique, his body instantly vanishing from its position and rocketing backward through the void, leaving only an afterimage.
He watched as the impossibly powerful Sword Qi, infused with Wind and Thunder, tore through the afterimage and plunged toward the desolate land below.
BANG!
The impossibly sharp Sword Qi carved a massive ravine, hundreds of feet deep, into the earth as if it were tofu!
Xu Tianjie stabilized himself in the void after his hasty retreat. Beneath his calm facade, his heart was a raging storm of disbelief!
He immediately prepared to unleash his strongest attack.
An incredible aura erupted from his body, his hair whipping about wildly. His momentum was like that of a raging dragon taking flight.
"Blood Meteor Seven-Star Saber!" Xu Tianjie roared.
The Overlord Saber vibrated violently, letting out a long cry whose tremors seemed to pierce the Nine Heavens.
He unleashed seven slashes in an instant, the Sword Momentum of each one more powerful than the last.
The seven streaks of blood-red light were like raging dragons soaring toward the Nine Heavens, creating an endless, oppressive pressure!
Far across the void,
Gu Yun watched the seven terrifying streaks of blood-red light approach, his expression placid and utterly devoid of emotion.
Then, Gu Yun gripped his pale blue Thunder Listening Saber, his long hair stirring on its own.
He slowly closed his eyes,
sensing the terrifying, blood-red Sword Qi that rushed toward him like a roaring dragon.
The next moment, Gu Yun’s eyes snapped open. His gaze was electric, as if thunder crackled within their depths.
Bolts of thunder instantly erupted around his body, writhing like a frenzy of electric serpents.
"Wind and Thunder Annihilation Saber!"
He unleashed a slash containing the ultimate power of Wind and Thunder. It carried a momentum as heavy and unstoppable as a mountain, tearing through space like a thunderous Celestial Punishment. In that instant, a Heaven-Reaching blade of light bloomed into existence!
RUMBLE!
The two streams of Sword Qi, both containing heaven-shattering power, collided!
An earth-shattering explosion rang out across the desolate land. The terrifying force trembled the void, instantly releasing an overwhelming power that could topple mountains and overturn seas.
A terrifying shockwave, pulsing with world-shaking might, swept across the landscape. Blinding flashes of blood-red and violet-blue light intertwined!
Then,
the blood-red Sword Qi, which resembled a raging dragon, was sliced apart by the Sword Qi infused with the ultimate power of Wind and Thunder.
It then continued on, unstoppable, hurtling toward Xu Tianjie!
This time, facing the impossibly fast and powerful Wind and Thunder Annihilation Saber, Xu Tianjie had no way to dodge the ultimate Sword Qi that was already upon him.
SHK! The incomparably powerful Wind and Thunder Annihilation Saber instantly pierced through Xu Tianjie’s body.
"How could I possibly lose?"
With an expression of utter disbelief, he plummeted from the sky.
THUD!
His body slammed into the desolate ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!
’It’s over!’
Gu Yun had dealt with Xu Tianjie, the True Disciple of the Meteor Blade Sect.
He glanced down and saw that Xiao Chen and Li Xingyue had already killed all the remaining enemies.
Several lines of text scrolled across the Skill Level panel in his mind.
[You used Celestial Thunder Hand in battle against an enemy. Celestial Thunder Hand Skill Level +2%]
[You used Wind and Thunder Annihilation Saber for the first time in battle against a powerful enemy. Wind and Thunder Annihilation Saber Skill Level +3%]
[You continuously used Sword Momentum in combat against a powerful enemy. Your comprehension has deepened. Sword Momentum Skill Level +1%]
...
Gu Yun, Xiao Chen, and Li Xingyue stood together in the desolate land.
A sudden gust of wind swept past, causing their long hair and robes to flutter.
Beneath the dim sky, dozens of corpses lay scattered about, their still-warm blood soaking into the earth.
The surrounding dry land was a complete wreck, crisscrossed with deep gouges and ravines.
’I can sense that there is something of extreme importance within this Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.’
Suddenly,
an ancient, profound voice echoed in Xiao Chen’s mind.
