Slaying Three Body Integration Cultivators
"What? Fairy Yunhua has disappeared?" Yanyun Fairy was extremely surprised.
"Yes, according to the Formation's detection, she was rescued by a male cultivator and should be hidden in Spirit Treasure within Grotto Heaven."
"Oh? What realm is that male cultivator at? Body Integration? Or Tribulation Transcendence?" Yanyun Fairy asked warily.
"Uh... he's a cultivator in the Late Stage of the Void Refinement."
"Void Refinement??" Yanyun Fairy thought she had misheard.
"So which way did they run off to now?"
"They... are charging at us!"
When he said this, the Dharma Protector looked shocked and somewhat confused.
Has the world changed?
Are all Void Refinement cultivators this powerful these days?
First, there was the unheard-of Fairy Yunhua, who killed Elder Han despite being above her level. Then, she was pursued by more than a dozen Void Refinement and three Body Integration Cultivators for more than ten days.
Now, another male cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, appearing out of nowhere, has charged in alone.
This Dharma Protector simply couldn't understand it; was this the world of monstrous geniuses?
"Everyone on high alert! Activate the Defensive Formation! Don't let your guard down. This guy is either hiding his strength or he has something to rely on," Yanyun Fairy Yun said, raising her eyebrows slightly. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. She may not have learned much else in her life, but she has always been very careful.
"Life-and-Death Blade!!"
Yang Tianyou began to gather his strength from a great distance.
The Life-and-Death Blade is the most unique of his self-created Divine Ability. Its initial power is the lowest, but given time to slowly accumulate power, its power increases almost without limit.
As the black Life-and-Death Wheel appeared, indistinct gods Gods and Devils roared and shouted, propelling the Life-and-Death Wheel forward.
Endless Spiritual Qi converged from all parts of the desert, and even the yellow sand itself was swept up by the Life-and-Death Wheel, turning into sand gods Gods and Devils. As the Life-and-Death Wheel grew stronger, the suction force became more and more terrifying. Space itself became fragile in the face of this suction force, and pieces of it fell off. The Void Turbulence was swallowed up as soon as it appeared.
In addition to the power gathered from heaven and earth, Yang Tianyou himself also mobilized the power of his Grotto Heaven and the Primordial Power to strengthen the Life-and-Death Wheel.
In a short time, a black Life-and-Death Wheel, stretching across the sky and thousands of miles high, appeared in the vast desert. Its earth-shattering and terrifying pressure, even from thousands of miles away, still made people's scalps tingle and their bodies turn cold.
"What is that?"
"Is this really an attack that Void Refinement cultivator could unleash? Are we really at the same cultivation level?"
The Dharma Protector, their faces pale, muttered to themselves; Yang Tianyou's Life and Life-and-Death Blade had nearly shattered their resolve.
It wasn't because of power, but because of the huge difference between the two.
If Body Integration Cultivator had launched such an attack, they wouldn't have reacted so strongly. But this was launched right in front of them by a fellow Void Refinement cultivator, so the impact was considerable.
"Don't panic. I didn't sense any fluctuations in the Principle during this attack. It's just a show of strength without substance. Look at your panicked state, what kind of behavior is this?" The male Body Integration Cultivator turned around and reprimanded him sternly.
Yanyun Fairy glanced at him, muttering to herself, "Wouldn't it be better if you didn't offer any comfort? Isn't this just making things worse for her?"
Shaking her head helplessly, Yanyun Fairy took out her Spirit Treasure. Although Yang Tianyou's Life-and-Death Blade was terrifying, he was still Void Refinement cultivator, while they were at the Body Integration. If they were intimidated by a Void Refinement cultivator, they would be a laughing stock.
"Accelerate the warship! Ram it! Smash this damn wheel!" With a command from Yanyun Fairy, the acceleration Formation engraved on the Eighth Tier warship began to operate at overload. Hundreds of thousands of Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones were burned up in an instant, turning into terrifying power that propelled the warship like Falling Star falling from the sky, directly crashing into the Life-and-Death Wheel launched by Yang Tianyou.
The two enormous creatures rapidly approached each other.
They finally collided with a deafening roar.
Boom!!
The greatest form is formless, the greatest sound is silent. The world suddenly came to a standstill, as if it had turned into a painting. Then, deafening sound waves rolled in, turning the yellow sand into surging waves. A terrifying crater with a diameter of 10,000 miles appeared in the desert.
The Life-and-Death Wheel shattered, and the warship's Formation also crumbled, obliterating countless Array Mark. Yanyun Fairy and the others were thrown out of the warship in a sorry state, truly not expecting that an attack that did not contain the Power of Principle would have such great power.
"That shouldn't be the case. Without the support of the Power of Principle, no matter how great the strength, it's impossible to break Eighth Tier Defensive Formation. You can't break a rock with an egg on a mountain, can you?" The disciple of the Old Ancestor Jinghu was puzzled, but his vigilance towards Yang Tianyou soared.
"That wheel- Divine Ability contained a destructive force. It was this force that directly penetrated the protective shield of the Defensive Formation, splitting the Formation from the inside. Finally, combined with a massive amount of Spiritual Qi, it destroyed the warship's Defense System in one fell swoop." Yanyun Fairy stretched out her hand, and in her jade-like palm lay an extremely subtle Power of Annihilation.
"This power..."
The two of them examined Body Integration closely, their eyes filled with solemnity.
"Alright, don't think about that now, that guy's here!!"
Yanyun Fairy clasped her palms together, storing away the Power of Annihilation for future research. Then, she picked up her Spirit Treasure and thrust it out.
The mighty river of Sword Qi, empowered by the Principle of Sword Dao, Dang Kai the dust and smoke for miles, heading straight for Yang Tianyou, who was hiding within it, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
"Such keen perception!!" Facing the river of Sword Qi, Yang Tianyou remained indifferent, and slashed out with his longsword.
You possess the Body Integration Cultivation, while I possess the power of Grotto Heaven.
You possess the Principle of Sword Dao; I possess the Primordial Power.
You have helpers, I have Spirit Beasts.
Let's see who emerges victorious today!
And so, the battle erupted with a roar.
With the help of various forces, Yang Tianyou single-handedly fought against all the pursuers of the Huchen Sect, and was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.
The more Yanyun Fairy and the others fought, the more shocked they became, and their fear of Yang Tianyou deepened.
"We cannot let this guy live, or my Huchen Sect will be in grave danger!!"
The group exchanged glances and immediately unleashed their trump card.
"The Immortals and Gods-Slaying Sword!"
"Jinghu Roars!!"
"One Qi Heaven and Earth Hammer!!"
A divine sword swept across the sky, cleaving through ten thousand miles of sky.
The sound waves rolled on, shattering large areas of space.
A Spiritual Qi hammer descended from the sky, sealing off the heavens and earth, leaving Yang Tianyou with nowhere to escape.
The three had coordinated countless times, and their every move was a deadly trap, like a net stretching Heavenly Net!
However, Yang Tianyou, facing all of this, showed no fear. He held the knife in both hands and drew a large circle with himself as the center.
Then, six black holes appeared in mid-air!
"Reincarnation!!"
The voice, though not tall or large, possessed an indescribable power, overpowering the tiger's roar and the Jianming. It was as if the ruler of heaven and earth held the law of the land in his mouth, causing Yanyun Fairy and the others to uncontrollably feel as if they were about to perish at any moment.
An invisible wave swept outwards; this was the rhythm of Reincarnation, unstoppable and undefendable, penetrating directly into the soul and affecting the True Spirit.
Caught off guard, the three of them fell into a dazed state.
Although it lasted only a brief moment, it was enough for a battle of this level.
"Heavenly Blade!! Kill!!"
Yang Tianyou let out a low roar and slashed out with his longsword once more.
This time, it's Heavenly Blade).
The fastest, sharpest, and most ferocious strike.
Pfft!!
A flash of light, and the three Body Integration were all severed in two, their spirits and souls annihilated!
"Am I... dead?"
In her hazy vision, Yanyun Fairy seemed to see the Naihe Bridge and the Reincarnation, but why did the statue beside the Reincarnation look so much like the one who had taken her life?
"Run!!"
All the Body Integration Cultivators perished, leaving the remaining Void Refinement Dharma Protector terrified. However, faced with Yang Tianyou's longsword, they could only perish in the end.
As the setting sun cast its last rays upon the vast expanse of yellow sand, Yang Tianyou stood there, sheathing his sword, like a god!
Huchen Sect
In the main hall where the soul Jade Slips were enshrined, the disciples on duty were diligently cleaning when suddenly, a crisp cracking sound rang out. The young disciple froze and quickly looked up, only to see that a Jade Slip representing Body Integration Cultivator had been shattered into pieces.
One Jade Slip after another shattered, turning the disciple's face deathly pale.
"Even the Old Ancestor Yan Yun has perished; he died young..."
The disciple scrambled out of the main hall to inform the Dharma Protectors, and soon the higher-ups of the Huchen Sect knew the news and immediately convened a sect meeting.
Even for a Body Integration that has undergone the Tribulation Transcendence Sect Transcending stage, the consecutive loss of three Nascent Soul cultivators and over a dozen Void Refinement cultivators is a major incident. The Huchen Sect Body Integration only has less than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators in total. In just half a month, first Yunhua killed one of them, then Yang Tianyou killed three more. Not to mention that Yanyun Fairy was a true cultivation Seeds with the potential to Tribulation Transcendence. With this loss, the Huchen Sect has suffered a heavy blow to its high-end strength and its future potential has also been severely damaged.
The atmosphere in the main hall of the sect was solemn. The high-ranking members of the Huchen Sect sat upright in their respective positions, their faces solemn, while some looked worried.
As a chilling aura emerged, an old man with a dignified face and a clear scar appeared in the main hall. This was Old Ancestor Chenhu, one of the two pillars of the Huchen Sect.
Another Bandit Cultivator, Old Ancestor Jinghu, was the grandfather of Young Master Jingyu, but he was not currently in the Huchen Sect and had gone to visit friends in other Great Thousand Realms.
"Greetings, Old Ancestor!!" Upon seeing Old Ancestor Chenhu, the elders seemed to have found their pillar of support and hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"Alright, get up. Tell me what happened. How could my disciple Yan Yun suddenly perish? Who could have done such a terrible thing?!" Old Ancestor Chenhu was furious. Yanyun Fairy was his most favored successor, whom he doted on. He never expected that after a period of seclusion, he would be suddenly informed by his subordinates that his precious disciple was gone. One can only imagine Old Ancestor Chenhu's feelings.
"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, the matter is as follows..."
Yun Chenzi, the sect leader of the Huchen Sect, stood up and recounted the events, interspersed with his personal analysis.
"That's how it is. I believe it's very likely that other Tribulation Transcendence forces intervened this time. Otherwise, with Junior Sister Yan Yun's strength, coupled with an Eighth Tier warship, they could fight even Body Integration Late Stage Cultivator to a standstill. Besides, if it weren't for other Tribulation Transcendence forces, who would dare to intercept and kill Junior Sister Yan Yun? Who in Great Chen doesn't know that she is your beloved disciple?"
Yun Chenzi's analysis was met with nods of approval from the many elders in the hall.
Old Ancestor Chenhu frowned and asked, "Is Fairy Yunhua really Rogue Cultivator without any backing? Have you investigated thoroughly?"
"The investigation has been thoroughly completed, please rest assured, Old Ancestor."
"That's strange. Who would target our Huchen Sect? Could it be the Thunder Whale Sect? But our two sects have only been at peace for One Sexagenary Cycle. They have no reason to suddenly make a move..."
Old Ancestor Chenhu stroked his beard, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Yang Tianyou killed Yanyun Fairy and the others very quickly. In addition, the latter did not expect to be killed by a Void Refinement, so she did not send a message back to the sect, which has led to the suspicions of the elders of the Huchen Sect.
After thinking for a long time, the elders still couldn't come up with a solution, as they simply had too little usable information at hand.
In the end, Huchen Sect had no choice but to issue an arrest warrant for Yunhua, increase manpower to conduct a large-scale investigation, and contact the Heavenly Mechanist in an attempt to deduce the culprit who caused the deaths of Yanyun Fairy and others.
Rising Sun rises, its light illuminates countless mountains and rivers.
In a makeshift cave abode, Yang Tianyou sat cross-legged, his palms facing the sky, his aura flickering uncertainly.
Yang Tianyou gained much from his battle with Yanyun Fairy and the others, but also paid a considerable price.
In this world, no force arises without a cause.
Yang Tianyou was able to kill three Body Integration in one fell swoop mainly by relying on three different powers.
Great White Grotto Heaven, the Primordial Power, the Star-Chart Disk.
Among them, the Primordial Power is a consumable item, while the Star-Chart Disk draws power from the seven Bonded Spirit Beasts.
Although the battle was swift, it was exceptionally fierce. Apart from Zhiming, whose foundation was exceptionally deep, the other six Spirit Beasts were severely injured, their essence nearly depleted, and they would need a long time to recuperate.
But that's not the most troublesome part; the situation at Great White Grotto Heaven is even more serious.
Although the essence of Great White Grotto Heaven is extremely high, it is ultimately just a prototype, with a diameter of only two hundred miles. This extraction of the Grotto Heaven's origin was too violent, directly causing most of the Grotto Heaven's origin power to be consumed. Natural disasters frequently occurred within the Grotto Heaven, making it turbulent and unstable. The growth of the eight Innate Beings was also affected, making Yang Tianyou very anxious.
He urgently needs a large amount of Primordial Power to replenish the origin of his Grotto Heaven; otherwise, if this continues, the consequences will be unpredictable.
"Sigh, this is the only way."
Yang Tianyou sighed, flipped his right hand, and a miniature warship appeared in his palm. It was the Huchen Sect's Eighth Tier warship whose defense had been broken by his Life and Life-and-Death Blade.
Yang Tianyou had originally planned to let Tongming slowly repair the Formation, but now it seems he can only serve as nourishment for the Grotto Heaven.
With a gentle toss, the warship entered the deepest part of the Grotto Heaven, where a huge black hole was slowly rotating, constantly absorbing and releasing massive amounts of void Spiritual Qi.
The warship entered the black hole and was instantly shredded and obliterated, turning into wisps of Primordial Power.
Yang Tianyou directly channeled this Primordial Power into the origin of the Grotto Heaven, which stabilized the crumbling Grotto Heaven.
