Chapter 391: The Thunderous Sky, the Divine Sword's Call, and the Jade Palace's Clarity (Part 2)
His left hand slowly extended, as if in slow motion.
A brilliant blue light shield, condensed to the extreme, emerged.
The flying sword pierced the light shield, like a fish in water!
However, this time, it was flowing against the current, from the inside out.
Luo Chen had already been fooled once, so how could he use the same trick again?
With the Grand Completion of the Crystal Sky Curtain, he could manipulate it freely and with great flexibility.
It was just a small trick to change the flow of spiritual energy.
This time, the golden flying sword moved extremely slowly within his light curtain.
But ultimately, this was an attack from a Golden Core cultivator.
Moreover, it was Di Wanyun's full-power strike after unsealing his abilities! The ultimate second-tier water system defensive technique met the so-called most powerful offensive golden attribute flying sword, and it was still a notch inferior.
Whoosh!
The fish leaped out of the water, struggling with all its might!
The red cloud Dao robe moved on its own without wind, billowing like a giant balloon.
Hiss!
The supreme defense robe was pierced in an instant by the golden flying sword.
At this moment, it seemed that Luo Chen had exhausted all his defensive means.
However!
As the flying sword pierced his chest, layer upon layer of thick, yellowish armor plates blocked its further advancement.
Second-tier technique, Turtle Spirit Armor!
Luo Chen had already prepared the armor in advance, maintaining the ultimate defense!
At this moment, the flying sword finally exhausted its energy and could no longer advance even an inch.
As the golden light retreated, intending to launch another attack.
Luo Chen's face turned stern.
"Coming here is not an act of rudeness!"
"Old man, you'll take my strike too!"
Di Wanyun, who had just stepped into the Void Sink Valley realm, had a ferocious expression, his gaze fixed on the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Vines burst out of the ground, their momentum shaking, and in an instant, a forest was formed.
Each vine was covered in sharp thorns, looking extremely ferocious.
But that's not all!
On the vines, pink flower buds bloomed, revealing their stamens, and a faint floral fragrance wafted through the air.
The more vibrant the color, the more dangerous it was!
The true danger of the Thornflower Seed lay not in the vines but in the flowers themselves!
All along, Luo Chen had only used accelerated vine growth to confront his enemies.
But this time, he held nothing back.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of vines bloomed with flowers, forming a cage of both ferocity and beauty, a Thornflower Prison.
Di Wanyun's steps faltered, and disdain filled his eyes.
"You dare to show off a first-tier technique?"
With a wave of his sleeve, the previously ferocious and twisted vines suddenly twisted and turned.
A path appeared within the forest cage.
It was a path to kill Luo Chen.
In the distance, Luo Chen's left hand suddenly pressed down.
"I'm not limited to just this technique!"
From the nine heavens, a massive mountain descended with a thunderous rumble, its descent timed just before Di Wanyun broke through the Thornflower Prison.
In the face of this mountain-crushing move.
The aged man opened his mouth and expelled a vast amount of spiritual power that shattered the air.
Surprisingly, in mid-air, the giant mountain was shattered.
"Hmm?"
Di Wanyun, who had been disdainful, suddenly furrowed his brows.
After the giant mountain shattered, a smaller mountain appeared within.
Thousand Peaks, more than just Thousand Peaks!
Luo Chen had used the Art of Controlling Instruments to gather a massive amount of mineral rock layers on it.
Now, its true form was revealed.
"This alone cannot suppress it."
Luo Chen waved his left hand, controlling the descending Thousand Peaks, waiting until it was ten zhang away from his opponent.
"Then, explode!"
With a low shout, Luo Chen's companion for many years, a supreme artifact, self-destructed!
In an instant!
A vast power, centered on Di Wanyun, swept through the surroundings.
At the center of the explosion, Di Wanyun summoned the Thousand Transformation Cloud.
A golden light was added to it.
"Self-destructing artifacts, quite the bold move. But it's useless against me!"
Amidst the swirling dust, the old man stepped out unharmed.
Without worry, without injury!
His cloudy eyes fell on the young man wielding a long sword.
At this moment, his expression changed! The earth trembled, and spiritual power filled the air.
High in the sky, a phantom mountain appeared once more.
This time, it was neither Thousand Peaks nor the Earth Mountain Technique.
But its suppressing power far exceeded the previous ones.
Di Wanyun coldly snorted and unleashed a palm strike.
A pillar of spiritual power light appeared, but the phantom mountain shimmered with ripples, seemingly unaffected.
"Not an Earth technique?"
Di Wanyun was startled.
The next moment, the phantom mountain collapsed with a low roar.
"Mountain Collapse!"
The power of the mountain collapse earthquake swept through, and layers upon layers of terrifying spiritual power explosions followed.
Di Wanyun's face turned extremely serious.
This technique already possessed the might of a third-tier!
Even he had to be cautious in dealing with it.
Golden light enveloped his body, forming an absolute defense.
His hands drew lines, and the golden light slashed, cutting through the collapsing intent.
Again and again, the vast power was divided into portions.
After several moments, Di Wanyun, with blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, stepped out of the mountain collapse range.
He was injured!
No one could have imagined that a Golden Core cultivator, when killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would be injured.
Even though it was just a minor injury, with his five viscera and six bowels shaken.
But he was injured nonetheless!
If this news spread, the entire Jade Cauldron Domain would be in an uproar.
He looked at Luo Chen with gravity, and for the first time, his disdain was replaced by seriousness.
"The ultimate defensive technique, the ultimate offensive technique, the almost instantaneous Vines Technique, Earth Mountain Technique..."
"Your talent in techniques is the strongest I've ever seen in my long life!"
"So, I must kill you!"
"Pay with your life for my son!"
Just as he was about to summon the Thousand Transformation Cloud, Luo Chen smiled.
"Do you want to see your son?"
"He's right there, can't you see him?"
With a wave of his hand, a piece of rubble was lifted.
A head, its eyes wide open, covered in wounds, was placed there.
Di Wanyun was taken aback.
The next moment, a mirror appeared.
Between the ripples, a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water appeared.
In the mirror, a scene appeared.
It was a scene of roaring thunderclouds and lightning.
It was a scene of a long sword piercing from behind, and a sword orb howling.
After a moment of confusion, the flower in the mirror disappeared, and the moon in the water shattered.
"Something's wrong!"
"He's not my son!"
Pfft!
The Mirror Flower Water Moon technique was broken, and Luo Chen coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, his head throbbing in pain.
In his hand, a copper mirror appeared with a new crack.
That head was indeed not Flame Thunder Child's.
He had used the Ghost Valley Heart-Asking Realm to forcefully cast the third-tier illusion technique, Mirror Flower Water Moon, while Di Wanyun was distracted by his words.
This third-tier illusion technique was not something he was proficient in. He had relied on the Thornflower blooming from the Vines Technique, the Flower Fairy technique from the blooming flowers, assisted by the Water Mirror Technique and the Spirit Technique, and finally, he had used the Ghost Valley Heart-Asking Mirror to barely cast it.
No, he was not aiming to trap his opponent in an illusory realm.
What he wanted was that fleeting moment of opportunity.
Bearing the pain of the backlash from his spell, Luo Chen grabbed the gray sword sheath with one hand, while the other hand formed a sword-like gesture, and he slashed outward with a sudden force.
As the furious Di Wanyun snapped out of the momentary illusion, he saw a terrifying sword aura rushing towards him in an instant.
A Golden Core Sword Cultivator, with a sword aura incarnation? His expression turned to horror.
Instinctively, he summoned his defensive magical treasure.
The Thousand Transformation Cloud was his most refined treasure, having been refined to its utmost potential.
With both offensive and defensive capabilities, it could adapt to most combat scenarios.
But that didn't mean he only had this one method.
However, the hastily summoned defensive treasure had barely unfolded when the dazzling sword aura directly shattered it.
It wasn't just one!
Seven streams of sword aura, in the blink of an eye, formed a seven-star constellation, shattering the defensive treasure with overwhelming force.
The aura pierced through Di Wanyun's glabella.
At this moment, a layer of golden light spread from Di Wanyun's forehead, and the terrifying sword aura seemed to slow down.
Far away, Luo Chen's face twisted in ferocity, and his sword-like finger thrust forward.
"Let it shatter!"
With his command, the terrifying sword aura merged into the seven stars, erupting with a final dazzling brilliance.
Ding!
Di Wanyun lowered his hands, gazing at the ground in disbelief.
A drop of blood fell from his glabella, landing on the ground.
The next moment, he abruptly lifted his head.
"I want you dead!"
He stepped into the Void Valley, and the Thousand Transformation Cloud transformed into a golden giant hammer, about to strike down.
Luo Chen looked at the red dot on his opponent's glabella with regret.
Was this the extent of his painstaking efforts?
Just now, did his opponent mobilize his Golden Core power? It was rumored that Golden Core cultivators could merge their spirit perception with their divine sense, evolving it to the point where they no longer needed to consciously release it, and could instantly unleash it from their hearts.
So, was that why he could block that attack, which was comparable to a Golden Core stage Sword Cultivator, at a critical moment?
What a pity! As Luo Chen sighed, he slowly pushed out a palm.
"You dare to block my path, and you still resist!"
Di Wanyun saw his palm thrust, and the golden hammer smashed down.
Boom!
The next moment, a phantom figure appeared behind Luo Chen.
His figure was slender, his expression calm, but his eyes were icy cold.
The phantom figure, following Luo Chen's palm thrust, also thrust a palm towards the sky.
Countless strands of Mystic Ice energy appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the landscape was frozen for a thousand miles.
The golden giant hammer was frozen in mid-air.
Di Wanyun glared at the phantom in fury.
"Mystic Ice Talisman!"
"Despicable, you're still protecting him."
"Kill!"
With a roar, the golden giant hammer broke through the layers of Mystic Ice power and continued to descend.
Boom!
With just one hammer strike, Luo Chen was smashed into the depths of the earth, disappearing from sight.
The Mystic Ice Talisman, after all, was just a talisman made by a Golden Core Senior.
Even with all his strength, what could he do?
Even if Jue Qing Xian Zi herself arrived, he, Di Wanyun, remained unafraid.
However, that boy was still alive.
Di Wanyun could sense that the boy's aura still existed and was even extremely vigorous.
If he hadn't misjudged, the boy not only had terrifying techniques but also many methods, and his physical body was extremely robust.
He was a rare Law and Body Dual Cultivator! That previous move, with Jue Qing's despicable method as a buffer, still couldn't kill him.
Just as Di Wanyun was about to rush towards the hole leading to the depths of the earth, a cold wind blew from the distance, carrying an icy, emotionless voice.
"Fellow Daoist, show mercy!"
"Spare him, and I will give you three pieces of Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice."
Di Wanyun coldly snorted, and his powerful divine sense spread out.
However, it wasn't directed at the distant Jue Qing Xian Zi but instead, pierced straight towards the depths of the earth.
He had intended to capture his opponent and torture him.
But with Jue Qing Xian Zi's arrival, he couldn't carry out this plan calmly.
He could only use his divine sense to attack and directly annihilate him!
However, after scanning with his divine sense, he returned without success.
Di Wanyun was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
Could a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's soul spirit withstand his divine sense attack?
He took a step towards the large hole, lowering his head to look inside.
In the depths of the earth, a disheveled man held a long sword, chanting incantations, seemingly reaching the end.
Suddenly, he pointed his sword straight at the sky!
The next moment, a formation disk appeared, and eighteen restrictions opened simultaneously.
Countless strange patterns, like a spider web, spread out, covering the Void Valley and its surroundings within a ten-mile radius in an instant.
A profound aura emerged.
In the nine heavens above, thunderclouds roared in response.
Di Wanyun abruptly looked up at the sky, his expression filled with extreme panic.
He leaped into the air, attempting to escape.
However!
"The grand heavenly thunder, the divine sword beckons!"
A deep chant reverberated in all directions.
A bucket-thick ray of thunder smashed down.
Di Wanyun, struck by this attack, went rigid, and his entire body fell to the ground.
In mid-air, he trembled, forcing himself to turn and attempt to escape again.
However!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boundless thunder, like the raging waves of the sea, rose and fell, one after another.
Countless thunder pillars, from the accumulating dark clouds, roared as they struck down.
Amidst the thunderous ocean, a golden figure, like a seabird, bobbed up and down, unable to rise again.
The golden light gradually dimmed, eventually fading into nothingness.
Whoosh!
Jue Qing Xian Zi abruptly stopped in her tracks, her forward momentum stirring up a storm.
Her beautiful face paled, and her eyes, filled with fear, stared at the scene before her.
"Was that the heavenly thunder Luo Chen invoked?"
"The might of heaven, so terrifying, how can we, Golden Core Cultivators, resist?"
"Di Wanyun, you're done for!"
Murmuring, she stood in her original spot, not daring to take a single step towards the Void Valley.
Even though she was deeply concerned about Luo Chen's safety, all she could do was wait.
This thunderous storm, covering such a vast area and of such intensity, couldn't possibly last long.
All she could do now was wait!
However, as the waiting time dragged on, her heart sank deeper.
This heavenly might was something even Golden Core Cultivators couldn't withstand.
Luo Chen, right at the center of it all, was unlikely to survive.
Just as despair filled her heart.
Suddenly!
A vast pillar of light shot up from the ground!
In just an instant, it pierced through the countless layers of thunderclouds.
At this moment, the clouds that had enveloped the Thunder Accumulation Nine Mountains for a thousand years began to dissipate with the wind's howl, they quickly retreated.
Only the clear sky and the vast, clear universe remained!
