The bullet comments across the firmament were numerous, yet they were not very optimistic about Ye Jian's chances in this battle.
Xu Ming was at rank ninety-four with Ultimate Fire, naturally countering all plant-based martial souls!
With a double suppression of level and attributes, this battle should logically have been without suspense.
What was more, Ye Jian did not even possess a single soul bone; when powerhouses clashed, a single soul bone was enough to speak volumes!
Ye Qingqiu found these one-sided bullet comments somewhat hard to stomach, and she could not help speaking out with some sarcastic jabs:
"Our Blue Silver Empire is vast and rich in resources, how could we possibly lack a few soul bones!"
"It's simply that my third brother doesn't care for these external forces. In his eyes, apart from the martial soul, all soul bones are external forces, and he scorns them."
"As for you saying he is bound to lose, heh, then just watch properly."
"My fourth brother's talent is even greater than mine; you a bunch of rabble can't see a thing."
On the battlefield, nine soul rings fluttered beneath Ye Jian.
Black, black, red, red, red, red, red, red, red!!
The blood-like soul ring configuration left everyone's hair standing on end.
Simultaneously, he gently cupped a slender, greenish blade of grass in his palm.
It truly looked like an ordinary, unremarkable piece of Blue Silver Grass, light as a feather, seemingly able to be squeezed out of water with a mere rub.
Yet in his hand, it exuded a grim, annihilation-fraught chill.
"My fourth brother's martial soul is the Blue Silver Sword Grass."
"Forsaking all the vitality of vegetation, he reverses the origin, transforming from the original Ultimate Life into--Ultimate Destruction."
"A single blade of grass can slash the sun and moon, can shatter the stars."
Even though Ye Qingqiu was fighting the bullet comments to seek justice for Ye Jian, the bullet comments continued to toll his doom.
"Ultimate destruction? Once burned by fire, won't it be destroyed!"
"Besides, even if your attribute is special, ninety-first level versus ninety-fourth level, a three-rank Titled Douluo disparity, and you still want to hard-shatter Ultimate Fire with a withered blade of grass? If you win, I'll eat it!"
On the battlefield, Xu Ming let out a roar, the scorching heatwaves of the blazing sun's aura growing increasingly violent-he was about to strike!
The next instant, the heaven and earth burst with brilliant light, and the void seemed to give birth to two suns.
Xu Ming's figure abruptly lunged into the sun behind him. The next moment, blazing sunlight and radiance shot out across the heavens, and wherever they shone became his Great Sun Domain!
Feathers of fire across the sky, heaven-burning waves of fire, and layers upon layers of blazing sun cages overlapped, turning the entire battlefield into a thorough sea of crimson flames. Amidst the rolling waves of fire, even space was burned until it warped slightly, and the massive waves churned up near the shore were instantly evaporated into clouds of moisture!
This was the divine might of Ultimate Fire at the Titled Douluo level; with a single move the heaven and earth grew hot, and with a single thought the vast sea was steamed to mist!
Yet at the center of the battlefield, Ye Jian grasped that sword grass, sword intent condensing around his body as streaks of sword light cleaved open the sea-of-fire domain following his will.
That sword light was pitch-black, symbolizing the annihilation of everything!
That ultimate fire could not taint this fragile blade of grass in the slightest, being chopped into nothingness by the pitch-black sword light before it even drew near.
In his Martial Soul Avatar form, Xu Ming frantically drove all his soul power, his nine soul rings lighting up sequentially while he executed multiple soul skills simultaneously.
With his ninety-fourth-rank ultimate attribute, his soul power was as vast and boundless as the sea, enduring and endless, and his explosive power was peerless among his peers, every soul skill impact carrying formidable soul power fluctuations.
Yet what met him was merely a feather-light sword strike.
Casual, utterly devoid of ripples.
Slender to the extreme, the condensed pitch-black grass-blade sword light pierced the air.
There was no loud roar, no explosion, and no heaven-shaking might.
Yet that soul skill attack, akin to a flaming meteor, along with the layers of fire seas and towering blazing flames, were instantly sliced clean, torn apart, and annihilated under this sword light as if they were made of paper!
Only then did Xu Ming feel that his opponent was somewhat tricky, but it was too late; he decided to crush the opponent with pure soul power level.
Although this grass-blade sword light was formidable, its soul power consumption must be considerable. After all, he was three levels higher than the opponent, so his soul power reserves would definitely surpass his!
He gathered all his soul power, and the ninth blood-red soul ring beneath him lit up.
He would rout this opponent with his strongest and most formidable strike!
As his ninth soul skill was unleashed, in an instant, the firmament changed color and the blazing sun plunged from the sky!
"Ninth Soul Skill--Great Sun Heaven-Burning Burial!"
A ten-thousand-zhang crimson blazing sun avatar descended, suspended directly overhead. World-destroying, towering torrents of fire poured from the core of the blazing sun, resembling a nine-heavens sea of fire overturning and plummeting down!
The terrifying high temperature instantly swept across the near shore, causing the previously churning ocean to boil directly. The surface of the sea turned a blank white as massive quantities of seawater evaporated into the air, forming sea fog that blotted out the sun!
The reefs on the distant coast were instantly burned red and cracked, scorching heatwaves filled the air, and only an eye-piercing crimson remained between heaven and earth!
This was the ultimate fatal move of a ninety-fourth-rank Titled Douluo, powerful enough to burn mountains and boil seas, or obliterate a small hill!
Above the firmament, everyone felt their blood boil.
[Sun Moon Empire · Onlooker Old Man Wan]:
"It's over! It's completely over!
With Red Sun Douluo's ninth soul skill fully unleashed and a three-level suppression, my Sun Moon Empire is finally going to win one!!"
On the battlefield, the sea of fire pressed down from above, leaving nowhere to hide!
Standing high above and looking down, Xu Ming wore a cold gaze, victory securely in his grasp:
"Let's see how this grass of yours avoids being burned to flying ash today!"
Yet Ye Jian's gaze suddenly cleared entirely!
The life-and-death crisis of a cross-tier suppression and the oppressive might of the heaven-burning flames thoroughly shattered the sword dao bottleneck that had bound him for so long!
Years of concealing his edge in the academy, days and nights of comprehending the sword, pouring his emotions into the sword-his goal had been to break through his existing sword dao bottleneck, yet he had fallen short by just a single step.
He never expected that this step would be mastered right here on the battlefield, at this very moment!
So the sword was not merely for slaying enemies, not merely for breaking techniques, not merely for annihilating all laws!
Where the heart pointed, the sword would reach!
Hum--!!!
With a single moment of enlightenment, he reached the transcendent realm!!
An ethereal sword intent, far surpassing soul skills and soul power, erupted formidably from within Ye Jian's body!
Formless and substance-less, encompassing all things, rising above all dao and principles!
Sword Dao Transcendence!
The supreme sword dao realm pursued by countless sword cultivators throughout their lives, which they could never touch even with white hair at the end of their days, was today completely fulfilled in this ninety-first-rank fourth prince!
Across the battlefield, all blazing fire, all high temperatures, and all seas of fire instantly stagnated!
Time, space, soul power, and the burning Ultimate Fire were all imprisoned by this single wispy sword intent that transcended all things!
The entire boiling near shore fell into instantaneous deathly stillness; the evaporated mist hung frozen in midair, and the churning tidal waves locked still upon the sea surface!
It was as if time had stopped!
Before the firmament, on the Douluo Continent, Sword Douluo Chen Xin experienced a violent full-body shock!
The Seven Kill Sword behind him hummed loudly, its clanging sword rings echoing uncontrollably throughout the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at that very moment!
Chen Xin's pupils contracted sharply, his body trembling slightly as his eyes filled with extreme disbelief and heaven-shaking shock.
"This... this is... Sword Dao Transcendence?!"
"I exhausted my entire life, bitterly comprehending for a century, yet I remained permanently stuck at peak completion, forever unable to touch the threshold of transcendence...
He actually fully grasped it in the middle of a battle, in a single day!"
A generation of sword dao myth, his lifelong obsession, fell short of another's epiphany in a moment of desperate peril!
On the battlefield, Ye Jian stood amidst the field. Though his white robes were slightly disheveled, his gaze was clear and translucent-man and sword had become one!
The pitch-black Blue Silver Sword Grass at his fingertips abruptly blossomed with boundless annihilating sword light.
"A single sword slashes away the sun, moon, and stars."
A bland remark settled the fate of the universe.
A slender, ultimately condensed pitch-black sword light carrying the true meaning of transcendent sword dao pierced up through the air.
The ten-thousand-zhang blazing sun avatar suspended in the firmament was gently grazed by the sword light.
Crack--!
The dust settled, and the Golden Crow sank in the west.
