The phantasmal silver Giant Sword clashed with the Ice Battle Spear, their forms twisting together. Two formidable powers erupted, bathing the area in a dazzling silver glow as the surrounding space fractured and split apart like shattering glass.
The very heavens and earth seemed to tremble. A thunderous BOOM echoed across the world as the resulting tempest swept out in all directions.
The terrifying aftershock instantly shattered the frozen ground below, blasting broken shards of ice and stone in every direction.
The ground, battered by the aftershock, tore open, revealing jagged chasms that snaked across it like furious dragons.
Then, the silvery phantom and the colossal Ice Battle Spear annihilated each other.
Below, the heavily wounded Hai Rui breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
He breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
But he suddenly looked up at the sky.
His light-blue pupils constricted to the size of a pinprick.
He saw a single spark ignite on the horizon, like a falling ember. A terrifying flame began to sear the void. The spark then spread with impossible speed, and in an instant, a horrifying blaze of fire lit up the heavens and earth, as if the void itself was being consumed by an endless inferno.
In the next instant, a sky-blotting torrent of incomparably terrifying, fiery blade-light descended from the void, slashing down at him with overwhelming power, potent enough to sear through anything in its path!
"No!"
As Hai Rui roared in terror and defiance, he seemed to make one final, desperate struggle.
He thrust his hand toward the void, and in a flash, a prismatic, bone-chilling Ice Shield materialized above him.
The prismatic Ice Shield radiated a terrifyingly cold aura, one that seemed capable of freezing the very void.
But in the end, he had underestimated the power of the Fiery Flame Blade Momentum that Gu Yun had unleashed with all his might.
HISS!
The incomparably strong blaze of fire instantly tore Hai Rui’s prismatic Ice Shield to pieces. The terrifying flames melted the ice, then seared through the space between them to slash down at Hai Rui.
Hai Rui’s heart plunged into an abyss as he was consumed by boundless terror. The fear of death sent tremors through his entire body.
The fiery blade-light, having shattered the Ice Shield, descended like a falling star. It radiated a scorching glow, seared through space, and carried an aura powerful enough to incinerate the very heavens as it slashed through him!
SHHIIICK!
Hai Rui’s body was cleaved in two by the fiery blade-light. The terrifying flames then incinerated him, and his ashes scattered into the void.
Watching from his position in the void above, Guan Yuanjun couldn’t hide the shock on his face. ’This guy... isn’t he a little too strong? How long has it even been, and he’s already taken down a member of the Sea Race at the True Martial Sixth Layer!’
Then, with a look of admiration, Guan Yuanjun cupped his fist toward Gu Yun. "Thank you for your help, Brother Gu. If not for you, I fear I would have paid a heavy price today."
"If you ever have need of me in the future, I will be there without fail!"
Gu Yun, hovering in the air, replied, "There’s no need for that, Brother Guan.
The Sea Race has rashly declared war on the Human Race and killed countless of our Cultivators. Whenever I encounter a member of the Sea Race, I will kill them."
Guan Yuanjun nodded. "Since this matter is resolved, I will take my leave."
Gu Yun looked at Guan Yuanjun’s tattered robes, the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and the many wounds covering his body. He understood that Guan Yuanjun was leaving to find a place to heal.
He nodded at Guan Yuanjun in understanding.
"Brother Gu, we’ll meet again if fate wills it!"
Guan Yuanjun transformed into a streak of light and sped toward the horizon. His voice, amplified by his True Yuan, echoed across the heavens and reached Gu Yun’s ears.
Hearing his words,
Gu Yun shook his head with a small, wry smile. ’Guan Yuanjun is a good man. Loyal and righteous, and quite strong as well.’
Then, Gu Yun stood tall in the void, his long hair whipping about as if in an unseen gale. His gaze swept over the vast ocean before him. The sea breeze blew past, stirring the surface into whitecaps and sending waves crashing onto the shores of the deserted island below.
Then, Gu Yun transformed into a streak of lightning and shot toward the horizon at incredible speed.
「At this moment.」
Somewhere in the Lantai Sea Region, a terrible storm swept across the land and sky. On the surface of the sea, massive waves crashed like savage beasts, their spray thrown high into the air by the gales.
Dark clouds roiled overhead like a charging army of ten thousand horsemen, their thick layers obscuring the sky over this part of the sea.
Blinding lightning flashed intermittently, and thunder tore across the sky with a roar that shook the very foundations of the world.
In the void above, a dozen or so Human Race True Martial Cultivators formed hand seals, unleashing a barrage of terrifying Technique attacks that whistled through the air and ripped through space itself.
They blasted their attacks toward the savage-faced members of the Sea Race, whose azure skin looked like blue armor, and several colossal Sea Race Demon Beasts.
The two sides clashed violently above the sea. The void itself seemed to tremble from the explosive energy, and the ocean roiled as if struck by an earthquake, spawning one massive tsunami after another.
...
The sun hung high in a clear, bright sky.
Gu Yun sped across the calm sea.
’I should be getting close... Huh?!’
Gu Yun was lost in thought while riding his streak of lightning when, all of a sudden—
An overwhelming sense of terror and crisis descended upon him, as if the Sword of Damocles hung overhead, ready to pass judgment!
Alarms blared and a frantic sense of unease pulsed through his mind!
In an instant, Gu Yun’s expression changed to one of pure horror!
Three Thousand Thunder Flashes!
In a split second, Gu Yun unleashed the full power of his high-speed Body Technique, Three Thousand Thunder Flashes. He instantly vanished, reappearing thousands of feet away as if he had warped through space itself!
The next moment,
BOOM!
A beam of light that seemed to connect heaven and earth suddenly tore through space, striking the spot where Gu Yun had been a moment before and utterly annihilating his afterimage.
The beam then swept across the horizon, shattering space itself under its immense power. The void was ripped open, revealing a glimpse of endless blackness from which a terrifying aura emanated, enough to make one’s soul tremble!
The world-piercing beam then slammed into the sea below, instantly carving a bottomless chasm thousands of meters long into the ocean. The terrifying aftershocks were so powerful that the waters struggled to close the gaping wound for a long, long time.
"Oh? He actually dodged it."
"No wonder you were the one who killed Gu Yuan."
A voice that rang through the heavens boomed from the void above. There, a man stood suspended in the air. He wore a black Profound Robe, his features sharp with sword-like brows and star-bright eyes. His black hair whipped about in a non-existent wind, and his dark, fathomless eyes stared down from on high.
’True Martial Eighth Layer!’
Having dodged the terrifying, world-piercing attack, Gu Yun looked up at the man in the black Profound Robe. His pupils constricted, and his expression grew more serious than ever before.
"Although I was never particularly fond of that brat, Gu Yuan..."
"...my master gave me a direct order: to grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes. Only then will the hatred in his heart be appeased!"
"I had no choice but to obey, so I’ve traveled a great distance to come here and utterly destroy you!"
"So... now you die!"
Gu Beichen’s fathomless gaze swept over Gu Yun below, radiating an incredibly intense killing intent that instantly enveloped the surrounding void in a bone-chilling cold.
Immediately after, a True Yuan Power as profound as the deepest sea and terrifying to the extreme erupted from his body. It rushed out in all directions like a monstrous flood, causing the surrounding void to tremble and warp!
