Feng Xi followed closely behind Zhang Ruochen and said, “The Dark Great Triangle Star Domain appears calm on the surface but is actually extremely dangerous. If Daoist friend travels alone and loses direction it will be a dead end. But the Feng Clan is different. Every segment of the journey we arrange a star domain spatial transmission array. Even if we cannot find Sword Realm we can still return.”
Zhang Ruochen led the yellow ox through one array after another without responding to her words.
Suddenly at a cliff edge on the divine ship he saw Feng Yan standing alone. His expression was quite lonely and filled with melancholy.
Feng Yan also noticed the two of them. His gaze carried some confusion. He walked over and said, “Sister does Father still refuse to see me?”
“Father said that until you break through to the god realm you should not appear before him. But in your current state it is best not to attempt crossing the divine tribulation.” Feng Xi said.
“I understand.”
Feng Yan looked toward Zhang Ruochen with an unusual gaze sizing him up and down.
“This is Daoist friend Qingping Zi from Kunlun Realm a true god of the Daoist sect. He has shown great kindness to the Feng Clan. In the Tianchu civilisation major world he consecutively slew two true gods of Hell Realm.” Feng Xi said.
At the Fire Seed Assembly Feng Yan had seen Qingping Zi display divine might by dragging out the Asura Clan god Ling Jun. He quickly bowed and said, “Greetings true god.”
“No need for formalities.”
Zhang Ruochen lifted Feng Yan with an invisible hand. He looked toward the two densely inscribed bronze doors nearby and asked, “Brother Yan are you guarding someone here?”
Heavy guards stood outside the bronze doors. Clearly this was an extremely important place.
Feng Yan said, “This is the divine prison on the Rising Wind Divine Ship. Several true gods of Hell Realm are imprisoned inside.”
Zhang Ruochen sighed inwardly. He had known Little Black and Xue Tu could not have escaped but fortunately they were still alive and had not been slain by a single sword from Feng Yun Ba!
It seemed he could not simply leave like this.
While Zhang Ruochen pondered what excuse to use to stay a brilliant light suddenly appeared in the distant darkness.
Powerful divine force fluctuations transmitted from that direction.
The Feng Clan gods on the divine ship all stepped out and peered over.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed. Billions of li away two extremely powerful divine forces clashed shaking the void and disrupting the heavenly rules. Sword lights flashed tearing through space.
One divine force contained strong light power.
The other was deep and dark.
The two were naturally opposed.
Zhang Ruochen said in surprise “The Brightness Divine Sword and the Dark Divine Sword.”
Both divine swords had been activated to their peak. The might of divine artefacts shook spacetime billions of li away.
But clearly the Dark Divine Sword unleashed greater power drawing endless dark rules from heaven and earth. Each strike sent the Brightness Divine Sword flying.
The wielder of the Brightness Divine Sword seemed to sense the Rising Wind Divine Ship and rapidly flew in this direction.
Gradually Zhang Ruochen clearly saw the clash between the two divine swords.
The controller of the Brightness Divine Sword was a young woman in white robes. Her figure was slender and graceful her body pure white and flawless. Even her black long hair had turned into white jade threads.
Yet she was covered in blood scars. The white light on her body was constantly dissipating.
Chasing behind her was a divine sword thousands of zhang long.
The divine sword radiated black light that devoured all illumination. Other gods could not see the sword body at all only a massive black hole.
Each time the black hole struck it erupted with billions of sword beams sending the white-robed woman flying.
Divine blood scattered into the void.
“Is it the Feng Clan gods ahead? I am Xuanyuan Qing of the Brightness Divine Hall.”
An extremely pleasant divine thought voice crossed tens of millions of li and reached the Rising Wind Divine Ship.
Boom!
The entire Rising Wind Divine Ship shook violently.
Zhang Ruochen looked up. A sword beam shot out from the divine ship. Instantly a vortex-shaped sea of fire appeared overhead erupting with terrifying heat hotter than a star. The energy was horrifying.
The Qingping Sword on his back trembled fiercely emitting piercing sword cries.
Feng Yun Ba’s colossal divine shadow stood proudly in the void. He said “Frost City Demon receive this seat’s sword.”
The massive vortex sea of fire moved at inconceivable speed instantly crossing tens of millions of li as if tearing through space and clashing with that black hole.
Boom!
The black hole was shattered.
Frost City Demon who had merged man and sword separated from the Dark Divine Sword and flew thousands of li away.
A deep flame wound appeared on Frost City Demon’s dark divine body. Pure yang sword qi corroded his flesh and pained his divine soul.
Just as Frost City Demon refined away the pure yang sword qi the Rising Wind Divine Ship had already sped over. He knew he was no match for Feng Yun Ba and decisively fled.
“Still want to leave? Can you?”
Feng Yun Ba executed a secret technique stepping across tens of millions of li. He activated the Pure Yang Divine Sword and unleashed a second strike.
The sword dao rules between heaven and earth were drawn empty all converging onto the Pure Yang Divine Sword’s blade. Wherever the sword passed space shattered forming a long chaotic belt.
Space fragments seemed to ignite.
Zhang Ruochen drew in a cold breath. He said “Frost City Demon has Taibai realm cultivation. Facing such a powerful opponent as Fourth Master Feng he is probably going to be slain with one sword. The Pure Yang Divine Sword is indeed as terrifying as the legends say!”
Feng Yan said proudly “Back then Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable wielded the Pure Yang Divine Sword. One sword strike made the entire Indeterminate Divine Sea boil. That single sword silenced all of Hell Realm. No evil ghost dared leave the Yellow Spring Star River. No yin corpse dared step into the realm of the living. One person one sword suppressed an entire era. All the evil of the heavens dared not show themselves.”
Boom!
Sure enough when the Pure Yang Divine Sword struck Frost City Demon could not block it even with all his strength. His dark divine body exploded.
All divine matter and divine soul were incinerated to nothing by the pure yang divine qi.
One sword slew a great god incinerating everything.
This was the might of a divine artefact!
Zhang Ruochen thought of his own six divine swords. Unfortunately they had been severely corroded their power greatly reduced and their sword spirits had not reached the true god level. They could not compare to the Pure Yang Divine Sword.
When the might of a divine sword reached such a terrifying level it could cross realms to battle enemies.
The sword spirit of the Pure Yang Divine Sword probably possessed considerable cultivation as well.
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze then turned toward the ball of white light suspended in the distant void. More precisely it was two patches of white brightness divine clouds. The white-robed woman stood on one brightness divine cloud with another hovering above her head.
Each brightness divine cloud was the size of a star. A sword of extreme brilliance floated before her.
The woman’s wounds had already healed. Her white robes fluttered her skin whiter than her clothes. She resembled an extremely holy angel or an immortal from a painting.
Zhang Ruochen held no good feelings toward the gods of the Brightness Divine Hall. He quickly withdrew his gaze.
The Feng Clan cultivators on the Rising Wind Divine Ship all cheered in excitement.
Slaying a great god of the Dark Divine Hall and seizing the Dark Divine Sword this was destined to be a world-shaking event.
Yet on Feng Yun Ba’s face there was not the slightest ripple. He remained suspended in the distant darkness.
“Something is wrong!” Zhang Ruochen said.
Feng Xi asked “What is it?”
“It is an illusion. Such terrifying illusion. Quick quickly activate all defensive arrays on the Rising Wind Divine Ship.” Zhang Ruochen realised.
Just as Feng Xi was about to give the order a powerful divine force suddenly struck ten thousand zhang away from the Rising Wind Divine Ship only to be blocked by a protective divine array.
Yet the three-thousand-li-long ship body flipped violently tilting hard to the right.
Zhang Ruochen immediately released his spiritual power pressed his palm to the ground and countered the tilting force.
“Activate all protective ship arrays! Quick there is a powerhouse ambushing us.” Feng Xuan’s divine voice spread across the three thousand li of the ship.
The Feng Clan cultivators on the ship all snapped out of their excitement and hurriedly sprang into action.
Feng Yun Ba finally detected the opponent. He said “Wu Yue I did not expect you to come to the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain as well. Come out. Your illusion cannot fool me.”
Countless light points flew from Feng Yun Ba’s body manifesting a vast truth realm form. With a virtual lift of his hand he activated the Pure Yang Divine Sword slashing toward a dark region near the two brightness divine clouds.
Boom!
In the darkness a thousand-li-long rune appeared clashing with the Pure Yang Divine Sword.
Amazingly…
It actually blocked the Pure Yang Divine Sword!
Behind the thousand-li divine rune stood a slender figure entirely cloaked in black robes. Only one jade-white palm was exposed casually pressing the centre of the divine rune.
Frost City Demon holding the Dark Divine Sword stood proudly behind her.
Among those present fewer than five gods could see her black figure.
The other cultivators could only see the thousand-li divine rune blocking the Pure Yang Divine Sword.
Even the usually calm Feng Xi changed colour now. She exclaimed “How could it be her?”
It was no wonder Feng Xi was so shocked. Even Zhang Ruochen’s heart skipped a beat.
Zhang Ruochen had specially investigated Wu Yue’s information. This woman was not only the founder of the Spiritual God Hall in the Dark Divine Hall but ten thousand years ago on the battlefield of the gods she already possessed eighty-second-rank spiritual power.
She was a master of illusion dao rune dao and alchemy dao.
For other spiritual power cultivators spending their entire lives mastering even one of these paths to the divine master level was enough to dominate the world and earn reverence from gods.
She cultivated three paths simultaneously and excelled in all.
Now ten thousand years later who knew what terrifying height her spiritual power had reached?
Zhang Ruochen had investigated her precisely because he learned she might be Wu Jiang’s birth mother.
After all when the peerless Zen woman took the Dark Domain Heavenly Net she had spoken of Wu Jiang’s birth mother in extremely mysterious terms. How could Zhang Ruochen not worry?
One Wu Yue one Wu Jiang. Just from the names there had to be a connection.
At least that was what Zhang Ruochen thought.
Although the peerless Zen woman had taken the Dark Domain Heavenly Net and shouldered the blame for killing Wu Jiang Zhang Ruochen could not afford to drop his guard.
Wu Yue’s voice rang out with a smiling tone. “The Rising Wind Divine Ship lives up to its name. It actually blocked my full-power strike. But you Feng Yun Ba fall a bit short. Wielding the Pure Yang Divine Sword is this all you can do?”
“Hmph!”
Feng Yun Ba snorted coldly. He formed a sword mudra controlling the Pure Yang Divine Sword to inch forward into the thousand-li divine rune setting the rune patterns ablaze.
Bang!
The rune patterns exploded.
Wu Yue and Frost City Demon standing behind were shattered by the Pure Yang Divine Sword turning into two clouds of illusory mist that dissipated into the void.
