These were all techniques Lin Yun had commonly used in the past.
When Lin Yun’s attack arrived, Zou Dongsheng gripped his long spear with both hands and shook it fiercely. Vast inner force poured into it, transforming into a beam of green chilling light. He swung it upward to meet the assault.
Boom!
The sword shadows clashed with the green spear light. The shockwave rippled through space, and Lin Yun was instantly forced backward.
“Young Master, your attack is not bad, but the gap in our realms is simply too great. You are still far from being my match. Why not switch to An Yun instead?” Zou Dongsheng said.
If Lin Yun, at the Dao Moulding Realm, had fought that elder from the Underworld Palace back then, he could have won just by relying on the advantage of his Da Luo Heavenly Soldier without needing too many other techniques.
But against Zou Dongsheng, the weapon advantage Lin Yun had always depended on was completely nullified.
Moreover, Lin Yun’s other great reliance, his physical body realm, was equally rendered useless before Zou Dongsheng.
Zou Dongsheng currently possessed the most divine veins in the entire Wuji Heavenly Palace. His physical body had already entered sainthood. Both his defence and strength surpassed Lin Yun’s, and the power erupted from his six divine veins was likewise far greater.
Even though Zou Dongsheng had suppressed his realm by one full level, he remained extremely strong in every other aspect.
Lin Yun’s various advantages for fighting above his realm, weapons, physical body, raw power, and so on, simply did not exist against Zou Dongsheng.
The only area where he might be weaker than Lin Yun was perhaps divine sense.
One could imagine just how difficult it was for Lin Yun to spar with Zou Dongsheng.
Many of Lin Yun’s strengths would be neutralised.
Under these circumstances, even with Zou Dongsheng suppressing his realm by one level, even though they were only separated by a single realm, that single realm gap created a very obvious difference. The methods Lin Yun used to bridge realm disparities were useless here.
“Eldest Senior Brother is indeed powerful. The Young Master has only recently stepped into the Dao Moulding Realm, while Eldest Senior Brother has tempered himself in the Dao Fusion Realm for hundreds of thousands of years. Within our Wuji Heavenly Palace, Eldest Senior Brother is the strongest in every aspect. The gap is simply too vast.”
“Yes, with such a huge difference, there is no suspense in this spar at all.”
The several people standing at the cave entrance discussed and sighed.
If the gap was too large, sparring lost its meaning. It would no longer be an exchange of pointers but a one-sided crushing.
Up ahead in the sky.
“No need to switch. Again!”
“Flying Shadow Sword Art, Sword Rain!”
The treasured sword in Lin Yun’s hand seemed to transform into a storm of sword rain. Carrying a might that shook heaven and earth, it instantly engulfed Zou Dongsheng.
The power of his four divine veins erupted in an instant.
Even though Zou Dongsheng had suppressed his realm to match An Yun’s, his weapon, physical body, and divine veins far surpassed hers.
For Lin Yun, this made the challenge even greater.
“The Young Master’s sword technique is impressive. It seems his progress in sword cultivation has been excellent.”
Facing such an assault, Zou Dongsheng did not dare to underestimate it. He quickly unleashed his strength, sweeping his long spear horizontally toward the incoming sword rain.
Boom boom boom!
The sweeping spear blocked all of the sword rain, once again sending ripples sweeping through space.
Lin Yun did not pause for even a moment. He swiftly twisted his treasured sword and attacked again.
“Cangxuan Secret Scripture, Fivefold Cangxuan!”
As the next attack surged forth, the meridians within Lin Yun’s body reversed their flow, further boosting his strength and making his assault even fiercer!
Clang clang clang!
Intense collisions erupted continuously.
“Now!”
The Source Tree within Lin Yun’s body suddenly released a wave of vital life force that spread throughout his entire dantian sea. In an instant, the inner force in his dantian turned emerald green.
The transformed inner force immediately surged toward the treasured sword.
“Sword Rain!”
The treasured sword once again became a torrential storm of sword rain, crashing against the sweeping long spear.
BOOM!
Power poured out like a heavenly tsunami!
“What!?”
Feeling the might of this strike, Zou Dongsheng’s expression changed abruptly. His entire body was forced backward.
Lin Yun did not pursue, after all, this was merely a spar.
Only after flying back a hundred metres did Zou Dongsheng steady himself.
“The Young Master actually repelled Eldest Senior Brother?”
“That attack from the Young Master just now was terrifying!”
The people standing at the cave entrance were all stunned and exclaimed in shock at the scene.
Eldest Senior Brother was outstanding in every way. They had even believed that even if Lin Yun were at the same realm as Zou Dongsheng, he would still struggle to fight him.
To force Zou Dongsheng back despite being an entire realm lower was completely beyond their expectations.
