Chapter 2391: Chapter 2395: Light of Changling
"Late Integration Realm? Sorry, that was just a moment ago!"
Hu Yiqiu spoke coldly.
Buzz!
An overwhelming aura erupted from Hu Yiqiu’s body.
Boom!
As if drawn by Hu Yiqiu’s aura, a thunderous sound suddenly echoed in the sky.
"Breakthrough? You actually chose this moment to breakthrough?!"
Ling Tian Spear Emperor was suddenly shocked, and a feeling of humiliation surged within him: "Do you think you can withstand the Heavenly Tribulation while fighting me?"
"No!"
Hu Yiqiu’s aura stabilized, and he lightly chuckled: "So, I must defeat you before the Heavenly Tribulation arrives!"
"Drunken Slash of All Lives!"
Fragrant! Fragrant! Fragrant!
The aroma of wine filled the air, merging into a dazzling azure giant sword.
"Today, let’s try Young Jiang’s fusion method!"
Hu Yiqiu smiled lightly.
Swoosh!
A white light emerged from his body and flew into the giant sword, followed by a shimmering halo enveloping it.
"Dao Rhythm?! What are you doing? You’re blending spiritual power and Dao rhythm into a Great Dao Attack; this will cause a Great Dao Explosion! Your Great Dao source will be injured!"
Ling Tian Spear Emperor’s expression changed dramatically, exclaiming in surprise.
"As long as I can control it, it won’t explode!"
Hu Yiqiu smiled faintly, a hint of comfort in his eyes.
If it weren’t for Jiang Chen helping him train in power control, teaching him The Tome of Dao and a suitable cultivation method from the Wuying Sword Path, he might not have been able to achieve this at this moment.
It’s known that with each realm advancement, power fusion becomes increasingly difficult, and such perfect fusion is a feat that only one foot into the Saint Pinnacle can accomplish!
"Control it? Impossible, you haven’t completed the Integration Realm Peak; how can you possibly touch the opportunity of being a saint!"
Ling Tian Spear Emperor shouted incredulously at these words.
Hu Yiqiu smiled lightly, not responding, but instead, pointed a finger and shouted lowly: "Slash!"
Swoosh!
The azure giant sword vanished instantly, reappearing before Ling Tian Spear Emperor.
"Impossible!"
Ling Tian Spear Emperor paled, sensing a fatal threat and an ethereal aura lock that prevented him from dodging this sword.
"Unexpectedly, you’ve truly felt the opportunity of being a saint, worthy indeed of being the Changling’s Light equal to the Rending Sky Battle Emperor!"
Ling Tian Spear Emperor suddenly stopped resisting, staring at Hu Yiqiu’s calm face, a trace of despair in his eyes: "Chased it all my life but never attained it, yet you just made a breakthrough and grasped the opportunity for sainthood, alas! Today even if I flee, I’d still die by your hand in the future—why bother resisting pointlessly!"
Hu Yiqiu was slightly stunned, admiration showing in his eyes.
He indeed sensed the opportunity of being a saint during the power fusion, a moment of clarity.
Yet, he didn’t expect Ling Tian Spear Emperor to be so capable of letting go!
Nonetheless, Hu Yiqiu wouldn’t grow soft-hearted because of this; while it would be simple to kill him after the breakthrough, doing so now would allow him to cross the tribulation peacefully!
Squelch!
The sound of a blade piercing the body echoed; the giant sword penetrated Ling Tian Spear Emperor, his eyes showing relief, and his body exploded.
His entire life was spent battling the Rending Sky Battle Emperor; when the Rending Sky Battle Emperor became a saint, he lost his goal, regaining vigor after a long period, setting sainthood as his new target. Despite knowing it was a distant chase, he unexpectedly encountered Hu Yiqiu, who grasped the opportunity for sainthood immediately after breaking through the Integration Realm Peak.
Combatting an indestructible future saint, especially one with the backing of a top continental power’s prodigy, Ling Tian Spear Emperor knew that even if he escaped, he’d live a life of a fugitive, hiding in corners.
His pride wouldn’t allow him to live in such disgrace—dying by Hu Yiqiu’s hand was liberating!
With Ling Tian Spear Emperor’s death, the aerial battle had no suspense anymore; truly, when the Lei Ming Beast appeared, the aerial battle’s outcome was already decided!
Boom!
With a booming sound, the palace-garbed woman died under the joint attack of Hu Yiqiu and the Lei Ming Beast.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"
After the battle ended, Hu Yiqiu cupped his fists towards the Lei Ming Beast.
"Quickly cross your tribulation; I’ll be leaving. If you want to thank me later, let me stay beside Jiang Chen; I quite like him."
A youthful voice sounded from the Lei Ming Beast’s mouth.
Hu Yiqiu’s expression slightly changed, a hint of wariness, staring directly at the Lei Ming Beast.
"Oh, I won’t harm him; his Rejuvenation Flame is mine. If not for sensing some familiarity from him, I wouldn’t be helping you! Annoying old man!"
Swoosh!
The Lei Ming Beast complained, vanishing in a flash.
"Rejuvenation Flame? Is this the Lei Ming Beast from Mingqian Realm?!"
Hu Yiqiu’s eyes showed skeptically, lightly furrowing his brow, glancing at Jiang Chen watching from ten miles away with a curious look: "What does the Lei Ming Beast mean by feeling familiarity? The Lei Ming Beast Clan originates from..."
Suddenly, Hu Yiqiu’s eyes changed, clarity showing: "Looks like I was overthinking it, it’s only natural for the Lei Ming Beast to feel a connection to Young Jiang!"
Smiling lightly, Hu Yiqiu decided not to dwell on the Lei Ming Beast, raising his head to the sky where the Heavenly Tribulation had already formed, excitement in his eyes.
"A hundred years, finally seeing the Heavenly Tribulation again, today let me battle you once more!"
...
In the dense forest.
Jiang Chen looked on happily at Hu Yiqiu undergoing the tribulation in the distance, chuckling: "Master succeeded!"
"Indeed, he succeeded!"
Zhuo Bufan’s eyes also showed a hint of sentiment, gazing at the tall figure beneath the thundercloud as if seeing the top numbers on the academy’s talent list!
Rumble!
The Tribulation Lightning descended, covering the sky ten miles away in thunder, yet Jiang Chen and Zhuo Bufan’s eyes showed no trace of worry.
In their view, Hu Yiqiu’s tribulation success was certain, without a doubt!
Fragrant! Fragrant! Fragrant!
Just as both expected, Hu Yiqiu’s tribulation quickly passed, the sky lighting up with colorful Xiang Yun!
"Eight, eight-colored Xiang Yun!? Elder Jiu actually summoned eight-colored Xiang Yun?!"
Looking at the color of Xiang Yun in the sky, Zhuo Bufan’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
Suddenly, Zhuo Bufan spoke excitedly: "Changling’s Light! Changling’s Light has returned! Changling Academy’s Changling’s Light has returned!"
Jiang Chen also had a look of joy, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at Hu Yiqiu.
Master, disciple always believed that now you are truly yourself!
