UNSTOPPABLE MARTIAL ARTS: STARTING FROM ATTRIBUTE POINTS ALLOCATION

Chapter 972: Chapter 488: Complications Arise Again

“Void Splitting Slash clashed with water droplets refined from the Heavenly River Water, causing a colossal impact that darkened the skies and earth, with wailing ghosts and howling gods, as the void shattered inch by inch, and aftershocks continued to spread.

Such intensity of collision brought forth various anomalies, with Runes blooming like flowers.

And within the center of the storm, the scene was the most tragic, creating a void storm that struck fear in any True Spirit Realm Cultivator.

But the two in the eye of the storm were perfectly unhurt, each using their means to dissipate the storm, these methods unfathomable to gods and spirits.

“The Heavenly Pride of Green Flame Palace, Ye Zhiying, condensed his sword domain into an area of a few square feet, with Yin Yang Sword Energy circling to protect him, thereby resisting and dissipating that terrifying storm, but how did the outsider Heavenly Pride manage that?”

Someone was astonished and couldn’t help but voice their doubts.

“It’s the Divine Eyes, his pair of Divine Eyes seem to have opened a small world, drawing all the storm and aftershocks into it.”

“Hiss!”

Everyone couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, the two possessing such extraordinary methods, that they could neutralize such terrifying remnants of the collision; weren’t they placed on unbeatable ground then?

Lu Yun slightly shook his head, his Eyes of Aurora had always been open, having watched the previous battle between the two.

To outsiders, it seemed like Ye Zhiying and his opponent perfectly dissolved that dreadful force, but in reality, that wasn’t the case.

Both Ye Zhiying and the Heavenly Pride with Divine Eyes sustained varying degrees of injury to their physical bodies, especially Ye Zhiying, who was more severely hurt.

As a Sword Cultivator, his physical body was somewhat soft, and even with the protection of the small sword domain, he was backlashed by the aftershocks. Moreover, the curse power contained in the Heavenly River Water wasn’t so easy to dissolve and block; it could only be resisted by a strong physical body.

So now, Ye Zhiying appeared very intact, even his breathing was steady, without a trace of disorder.

But if one looked closely, a nearly imperceptible pattern could be found on his neck, a trace of the curse power’s erosion from the Heavenly River Water.

The Heavenly Pride with Divine Eyes wasn’t having an easy time either, when the water droplet refined from the Heavenly River Water collided with Ye Zhiying’s Void Splitting Slash, another stray sword Qi had entered his body.

Furthermore, using the Divine Eyes to open a small world and absorb so much of the void storm and aftershock forces also produced a certain backlash.

“The fight is nearly over,” Zhou Yichen whispered.

He was one of the few at the top of the many Heavenly Prides, with a better understanding of the battle, and he vaguely sensed something amiss about the state of Ye Zhiying and the other.

Their momentum was still at its peak, but their fighting spirit was no longer condensed, nor did they have that unstoppable momentum.

From this, he knew that the two had no intention of continuing the fight.

Sure enough, after the storm dissipated, the two emerged, each standing at a corner of the void, gazing at each other briefly, before simultaneously putting away their respective Dao Weapons Longsword and the Furnace containing the Heavenly River Water.

“Truly satisfying; it’s been a long time since I’ve experienced such an exhilarating fight,” Ye Zhiying stretched his body, shaking his neck, producing crackling sounds, and then the curse power in his body dispersed as streaks of black lines.

He looked towards the depths of the void and said with a serious tone, “To fight to this extent with me, you’re certainly not an average Heavenly Pride; may I know your real name?”

“Xuanyu, Taiyi Sect, Ye Zhentong,” Ye Zhentong responded.

Standing in the void, the runes of Intense Brightness on him slowly retracted, revealing his true appearance.

Tall and slender, over eight feet tall, with a youthful and handsome face that seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, his pupils were like two deep black holes with eerie runes flickering within, making his whole appearance quite bewitching.

Dressed in a black robe with golden patterns on the sleeves, a blue and white jade belt around his waist, and boots adorned with mysterious patterns on his feet, he exuded an air of nobility.

“Xuanyu.”

“Taiyi Sect.”

“Ye Zhentong.”

Everyone in the crowd repeated these in their minds, branding Ye Zhentong’s face and information into their memory.

“Ye Zhentong,” Ye Zhiying mused to himself, “Very well, I’ll remember you, and I’m very much looking forward to our next battle.”

“You’d better hurry then, otherwise, you might not get another chance,” Ye Zhentong replied with a faint smile.

Ye Zhiying’s brows furrowed slightly, “The Taiyi Sect is right there, do you plan to run away?”

Ye Zhentong shook his head, “You will know in time.”

After speaking, he glanced at Lu Yun, who stood in a corner of the void, with a meaningful smile on his face.

Lu Yun responded with a mysterious smile of his own.

He was very interested in that Heavenly River Water; if he got the chance, he would definitely try to obtain it.

And it seemed that Ye Zhentong had seen through the implications behind Lu Yun’s smile, transmitting to him, “Fellow Daoist, that Divine Water came to me on its own, it wasn’t that I seized the opportunity.”

“Indeed, but who knows if one day, it might come to me on its own,” Lu Yun said.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist really has a sense of humor,” Ye Zhentong added, “I believe it won’t be the case; otherwise, it wouldn’t have left your side at that time.”

“Who knows? Maybe you’ll be the one to bring it to me willingly.”

“I’m genuinely looking forward to that.”

After speaking, he gave a mysterious smile and then whooshed away from this place.

At the same time, Li Chensha and Jin Shengtan from the Blue Sky Sect immediately tensed up. Their figures flashed and appeared in the Void where Lu Yun was.

The two stood on either side of Lu Yun, unleashing powerful auras that surged towards him forcefully.

“Hmm?”

Clearly, Lu Yun was somewhat surprised by their sudden actions.

“Could it be that they know about my killing Han Zhong?”

Lu Yun thought that was the only explanation that made sense.

However, during his battle with Han Zhong, although there were spectators, he was shrouded in Divine Light at the time, obscuring his face, so in theory, no one should have recognized him.

Moreover, the spectators at the time were generally at the Unity Realm or in the early to mid stages of the True Spirit Realm. Even if they guessed something based on his characteristics, being weaker, they wouldn’t be qualified to enter the Inheritance Land and thus wouldn’t likely inform Li Chensha and his companion.

“No, there was another person.” Lu Yun quickly realized he had overlooked Ye Zhentong.

During his fierce battle with Han Zhong, Ye Zhentong must have also been there, watching the tigers fight from the mountain. At the end, taking advantage of his severe injuries, he stealthily cut off the Heavenly River.

With this thought, many doubts in his mind gradually dissipated.

However, thinking about how, in his condition at the time, someone like Ye Zhentong was watching made him feel a chill.

His Physical Body had suffered terrifying damage at the time, to the point where even his holy body was on brink of collapse.

Extremely weakened, not to mention a formidable enemy like Ye Zhentong, he feared that any True Spirit Realm Cultivator taking action could have ended him.

“Considering you didn’t make a move back then, I won’t pursue your little actions just now.” As Lu Yun’s thoughts flowed, he glanced over at Li Chensha and his companion who were approaching him, his expression indifferent.

The commotion here instantly attracted the attention of everyone, with many turning their gaze to see Li Chensha and Jin Shengtan from the Blue Sky Sect, two Heavenly Pride figures, joining forces to attack a young man, which made everyone show an inexplicable look.

“How interesting, this person has actually drawn two Heavenly Prides with absolute peak combat power to encircle and suppress him.”

“Who is this young man? I’ve never heard of him before. Could he also be a Heavenly Pride from an external domain?”

This scene quickly caught the eye, exhilarating many while they became curious about Lu Yun’s identity and strength, speculating if he was a Heavenly Pride from some exceptional external sect.

“Was it you who killed Junior Brother Han?” Li Chensha’s gaze was frigid, brimming with killing intent.

On the other side, Jin Shengtan brought out his Daoist Soldier, a massive Warhammer with Runes flickering on it, channeling the power of Heaven and Earth, and brewing a terrifying force.

“Yes, it was more or less me.”

Lu Yun did not deny it; he was telling the truth. Although Han Zhong died because he sacrificed his life force and Divine Bone, it was all due to Lu Yun’s relentless pressure.

At this declaration, everyone’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Good Lord, Han Zhong, the Divine Bone Heavenly Pride, was actually slain by him—such news was shockingly explosive.

Divine Bone, which was the inheritance and essence of a deity, refined after sacrifice, could reverse the innate and create an exceptional Divine Body.

This Divine Body was almost guaranteed to reach Great Accomplishment, unlike those holy bodies which are easy to initiate but difficult to advance towards Small Achievement and even more bleak towards Perfection.

“This one is ruthless,” Fang Xiu stood in the Void, surrounded by Thunder, glancing at Lu Yun with a ripple of interest in his gaze.

Even if he could suppress Han Zhong who had just entered the True Spirit Realm, he would not have done so.

Not because he didn’t want to, but because he didn’t dare.

Han Zhong was a Heavenly Pride with a Divine Bone, the most freakishly talented Disciple of the Blue Sky Sect in tens of thousands of years, carrying the hope of enlarging the Sect. Even the Cangqiong Ancestor had personally crafted the Divine Dawn Battle Armor for him to protect himself.

Such treatment and affection, even Direct Disciples could not compare.

Thus, to slay Han Zhong was to become an enemy of the entire Blue Sky Sect.

The Blue Sky Sect wasn’t frightening, only one of the top Powers in the True Fire Domain, with overall strength similar to his own Seven Star Mountain.

But the Cangqiong Ancestor was different, an ancient Immortal figure, not only terrifyingly powerful but also with extensive connections.

What people dreaded most was that his end was near; he acted without restraint, and those on the same level wouldn’t provoke him lightly without a significant conflict of interest.

“Very well, I admire you for owning your actions,” Li Chensha spoke with an icy tone, “However, for killing my Junior Brother Han, as a fellow Sect member, I cannot spare you, and the Blue Sky Sect will not let you go.”

“Li Junior Brother, why waste words with him? Just kill him to avenge Junior Brother Han. When we return to the Sect, the Ancestor won’t blame us,” Jin Shengtan’s voice thrummed as he swung the golden Warhammer, stirring up waves of gold, unleashing the most terrifying aura of slaughter, charging towards Lu Yun.

“Goodness, now someone has dared to pick a fight with us at the Green Flame Palace.”

Zhou Yichen crossed the boundless Void in one step and stood in front of Lu Yun. Divine Dawn enveloped him, and his aura soared instantly as he brought out the powerful Protective Divine Gang to fight on behalf of Lu Yun.

In his view, although Lu Yun had entered the Inheritance Land, his aura was only at the Eighth Layer of the True Spirit Realm, nowhere near Jin Shengtan— a Heavenly Pride at True Spirit Realm Perfection with absolute peak combat power.

Especially since there were two of them at once.

Meanwhile, Xie Yushi, in her flowing white garb, appeared beside Lu Yun in the Void, her voluminous figure emerging too. Her long, waterfall-like hair danced without wind, her fair face was ice-cold, and her stunning eyes looked at Li Chensha and his companion with frosty detachment.
