"Two demon-like existences. They seriously cannot be gauged using common sense!"
The two people's clashes shocked everyone until they were staring with mouths agape. Such a level of major battle was seldom seen in the sect.
Even a showdown between two Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would not be so ferocious!
Tian Yu could hang on until now purely by relying on his immense essence energy.
But what Ye Yuan relied on to sustain until now was his comprehension towards true intent!
Don't look at how his attack power virtually did not drop, his essence energy consumption became lesser and lesser.
Just a teensy bit more and he could comprehend another type of true intent!
Ye Yuan was about to lose even the strength to lift his sword currently. He looked at Tian Yu who was on the other side wearily. He was not much better off than him.
This was the last trace of essence energy in his Dantian!
Just a little bit more! A little bit! I can't lose! I still have to charge back to the Divine Realm, how can I lose here?
Ye Yuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out that last trace of essence energy.
"Essence Energy Ignition! Let it seethe!"
That final modic.u.m of essence energy started rising like boiling water!
This time, Ye Yuan did not feel any stagnation when revolving essence energy!
That essence energy that was combusted away transformed into a waft of pure sword intent, entering the meridians from the Dantian, then from the meridians into the Canghua Sword!
This instant, Ye Yuan felt unprecedentedly powerful!
In the past, when using this Essence Energy Ignition, there would always be some diminution in essence energy which would be lost.
What Ye Yuan pursued all this while was to convert this kind of essence energy, preserving it 100%, and releasing it using the Canghua Sword!
But how could doing it 100% be easy?
Each time he clashed with Tian Yu, Ye Yuan had been fumbling over how to reduce this sort of exhaustion to the minimum!
Now, he finally did it!
"Nine Swords Stance! Go for me!"
Nine streaks of sword light combined into one. Those brilliant sword lights blinded everyone's eyes!
Chapter 278 - The Rock That Fell!
When he saw this final attack from Ye Yuan, a feeling of unable to overcome with force welled up in Tian Yu's heart!
Tian Yu planned to use the last bit of essence energy to continue to clash with Ye Yuan. But when he saw this move, he backed out right away.
He used the last scrap of essence energy to push his movement martial technique, performing a dodging action with extreme speed!
Screech!
The sword light was impossibly swift. Tian Yu's decision took only an instant.
Just as Tian Yu's body left the original spot, the sword light grazed past his ear and left behind a lock of hair.
A second slower and this pinnacle genius who had just comprehended the elementary form of a true intent would have had his head separated from his body!
Talking about it was slow, but all of this actually happened in an instant.
In that instant earlier, everyone broke out in goosebumps and just felt a chill down their backs. Many people clenched their fists, and even their breathing became disorderly.
This sword was too powerful!
It would be certain death if forcefully receiving it head-on!
When they saw Tian Yu dodge this sword, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Tian Yu also breathed a sigh in relief. But when he reacted to it, he discovered that his back was already drenched.
It was fortunate that his mind was sufficiently clear earlier. If he forcefully took this blow, he would be severely injured if not dead!
But with this easing up, Tian Yu discovered that he did not even have the strength to lift his arms anymore. He plopped his bottom on the ground and panted heavily unceasingly.
"Huu . . . Huu . . . You won, Ye Yuan!" Tian Yu said wheezily.
His forehead was currently matted with sweat and his head propped on the sword hilt, simply unable to look up.
It was just that there was no response for some time after he spoke and he could not help becoming puzzled.
Straining to lift his head up, he discovered that Ye Yuan was currently sitting cross-legged. He actually entered a meditative state!
Did this fellow comprehend something else?
Ye Yuan's condition earlier was clearly even worse than his, but he released that unfathomable sword just for this comprehension?
At this present moment, Tian Yu's tiny bit of self-delight from comprehending the elementary form of a true intent already became non-existent.
In front of Ye Yuan's perception, he willingly acknowledged defeat!
Just by looking at the power of that final sword and he knew that Ye Yuan comprehended something remarkable!
Ka!
Right then, a huge sound came from behind Tian Yu!
Everyone turned their eyes over but were shocked until they were staring with their mouths agape.
The rocky outcrop on Victory Peak not far behind Tian Yu was incomparably tough. At present, a huge chunk of rock actually slid down slowly!
Chiii!
Boom!
That enormous mass of rock finally detached from Victory Peak and fell into the 100 thousand foot abyss behind the peak!
After detaching, a bald patch was left on the main body. The cut was incredibly smooth.
"This . . . This was left by Ye Yuan's sword earlier?"
"Ye Yuan's sword just now actually sliced off this hunk of rock? That piece of rock that fell down just now was probably several thousand pounds in weight! It's impossible, even for the average Crystal Formation Realm experts to slice it off with one swing, right?"
"I thought that the slash released by Ye Yuan earlier was swallowed up by the mountain. Who knew that it actually left behind such a divine vestige!"
The mountainous body which had a huge chunk shaved off looked especially glaring currently.
Tian Yu stared at that level cut and his scalp involuntarily tingled! If he were impetuous just now and clashed with Ye Yuan's move, would he still be standing here well and proper right now?
Thinking up to here, Tian Yu's cold sweat which had just stopped drenched his back once more.
Not just Tian Yu, Luo Qingfeng and Xiao Jian were also stunned speechless for a long time when they saw this scene.
When they recovered, they shuddered unceasingly after the event.
If Tian Yu did not evade that attack at the last moment just now, what would be the outcome?
Luo Qingfeng thought about it. Most likely, the best outcome was heavily injured or crippled. Furthermore, the chances of such an outcome occurring were exceedingly small.
The greatest possibility was Tian Yu dropping dead!
That way, they would really have rejoiced too soon. Furthermore, the troubles after the incident would be sufficient to give them a headache for a long time.
"Ye Yuan is going to breakthrough again!" Luo Qingfeng was the first to recover. He looked at Ye Yuan who was sitting cross-legged far away and said.
Except, he did not notice that his voice when speaking carried some trembling.
Hearing Luo Qingfeng said so, Xiao Jian finally came around. He asked puzzledly, "He just broke through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm not long ago. Is he going to break through again?"
Luo Qingfeng had a solemn face as he said, "He was already a spent force earlier, yet he released such a powerful attack. It's evident that he comprehended something at the final juncture! Although Ye Yuan had not broken through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm for long, his realm is already very solid. Breaking through again is of no issue at all!"
Xiao Jian's mouth opened, but he did not know what to say.
This Ye Yuan had truly surpassed the limits of his imaginati
ons already.
There were a good several hundred people spectating this final match. Currently, all eyes were focused on that slightly skinny figure in the center of the ruined platform.
Indeed, before long, essence energy tempests howled on the initially calm and tranquil Victory Peak.
"Essence energy storm! Ye Yuan, he . . . broke through!"
"Turns out that breaking through realms can be so easy? I heard that when he just entered the sect, he was only at the Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm. How long has it been only? He's breaking through again!"
"No, wait! This essence energy tempest is becoming bigger and bigger! Looks like it's not just breaking through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!"
"Previously, he broke through two minor realms simultaneously, breaking through to the middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm directly. Can he also be breaking through two realms concurrently this time?"
"Two realms? You got to be kidding! Look at this essence energy tempest! It's even enough to break through to the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, right? What is this fellow trying to do?"
Every time he broke through, Ye Yuan's activities were much greater compared to others. Because the essence energy required for his breakthroughs were seriously too much.
Activities that Ye Yuan felt were very normal appeared abnormally horrifying in other people's eyes.
The essence energy storm that he gathered was plenty to stuff a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm to death several times over!
Before long, the essence energy that Ye Yuan had previously expended was already fully replenished, and he broke through smoothly to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!
This to him was merely the lowest requirement. But to others, it was not the case.
"En? Broke through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm so quickly? Why do I feel like he completely doesn't have the feeling of breaking through a bottleneck?"
". . . Just based on that sword earlier, breaking through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm is just like a canal forming when water flows, right? Something like bottleneck is only used to enc.u.mber us. To geniuses like Ye Yuan, bottlenecks are simply just ornaments!"
"True! Forget about Ye Yuan, even Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu and the rest would have likely broken through to the Crystal Formation Realm already if not for comprehending concepts, right?"
"That's true! Comprehending concepts is laying a foundation. After comprehending concepts, breaking through realms will become much easier. Ye Yuan has already grasped true intent, so breaking through to the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm is indeed nothing much to him."
Under everyone's eyes, Ye Yuan started advancing towards the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
After an hour, Ye Yuan broke through to the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm successfully. This was also within everyone's expectations.
However . . . it was not over yet!
Chapter 279 - Uninvited Guest!
Ye Yuan previously broke through three minor realms in one breath on the Nine Heavens Road. At that time, it amazed everyone in the Dan Wu Academy.
But compared to now, that time did not even count as anything.
The difficulty of raising a minor realm in the Spirit Condensation Realm was more than ten times harder compared to the Essence Qi Realm!
But even so, Ye Yuan still went and did it without any hesitation.
To him, there was no so-called bottleneck. Furthermore, the current Ye Yuan had already comprehended the elementary form of supreme true intent and also comprehended the transmission true intent.
Consecutively breaking through three minor realms was no longer considered much to Ye Yuan.
One had to know that the vast majority of martial artists in the Endless World would never be able to comprehend a type of true intent throughout their entire lives. From this, it could be seen how high the starting point for true intent was.
But the way others saw it, this was completely not the case.
"This . . . Is he breaking through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm already? Is there a mistake?"
"Since when can breaking through realms be done in leaps and bounds like this?"
"This is not a minor realm! Ye Yuan, he's breaking through from middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm to late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm directly! Although Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu and the rest emphasized on perceiving concepts, to let them break through in full force, it's also impossible to be like Ye Yuan, right?"
It was no wonder that they were amazed. For normal breakthroughs, it would probably take several months' time even for geniuses like Tian Yu and Ti Wujiu.
Breaking through like Ye Yuan, first, let's not talk about whether they would be stuffed to death by the essence energy storm. Even if they broke through realms, they would probably spend even more time to consolidate it.
This way, the losses outweigh the gains.
. . . . . .
At this precise moment, a disciple reported to Luo Qingfeng. "Sect Master, an envoy has arrived from the Heavenly Sky Sect! H-He already arrived at Victory Peak!"
Luo Qingfeng frowned and said, "Why are you showing such misconduct? Do you still need me to teach you all this?"
When visiting other sects, most would wait for the host in the main hall and only meet after the disciple reported it. There was absolutely no such logic as roaming wildly.
The Heavenly Sky Sect's envoy's actions were showing extreme impertinence to the host.
When Luo Qingfeng heard that the Heavenly Sky Sect's envoy had already arrived at Victory Peak, his first reaction was naturally that the reporting disciple was insensible and directly brought the person over here.
That disciple said aggrievedly, "I asked the envoy to wait in the main hall for me to report to the sect master, but he followed here right away! He even said . . . even said . . ."
"Said what?"
"This disciple dare not say."
"I asked you to say, so say it. What are you stammering for?"
The disciple gritted his teeth and said, "He said that our Tranquil Cloud Sect is only slightly stronger than second-rate sects and is simply undeserving of the title of one of the Eight Great Sects. The Heavenly Sky Sect is the leader of the Southern Domain's great sects. As the Heavenly Sky Sect's envoy, having a look around is giving us Tranquil Cloud Sect face! I . . . I was afraid . . . so I brought him here directly."
The disciple was filled with righteous indignation when talking. It was apparent that he was filled with pent-up anger.
Xiao Jian flew into a rage when he heard that and said, "Heavenly Sky Sect is really going too far! Sect Master, in my view, just drive him out directly! Provoking our Tranquil Cloud Sect like this, we have the moral high ground no matter where we go!"
The disciple also had a face full of righteous anger by the side. He was clearly very much in agreement with Hall Head Xiao's opinion.
Earlier, that envoy's high and mighty appearance nearly made him give him a slap across the face.
But Luo Qingfeng was not as agitated as Xiao Jian. He said to the disciple, "Didn't he come with you? Where is he?"
"The envoy seemed to have seen something interesting just now at the plaza, so he stayed. This disciple was afraid that I would bungle matters, so I rushed over to report to sect master," the disciple said.
Luo Qingfeng's expression already returned to normal currently. He nodded and said, "You did pretty well. I'm the one who wronged you. Bring me to see this envoy."
"Sect Master! We've already suffered enough of the Heavenly Sky Sect's bullying these few years. Now, even a measly little envoy dares to ride on top of our heads to take a dump!" Xiao Jian said indignantly.
Luo Qingfeng looked at Xiao Jian and said with a sigh, "While it is of a noble character to die in glory rather than live on in dishonor, in my position, I must make considerations for the sect's future! Regardless of whether it's
Ye Yuan, Ti Wujiu, or Tian Yu. They are all the sect's future! And our mission is not to show bravery for a moment, but to ensure the growth of these geniuses!"
Xiao Jian's gaze turned intent as he said, "But . . . the Heavenly Sky Sect is too much of a bully! Even a puny little envoy dares to strut around in front of us now; let alone others! We're at least the upper echelons of a sect, there's no need to grovel before an envoy, right?"
Luo Qingfeng's face fell, and he said, "Xiao Jian! You're too naïve! In the martial arts world, it has always been the strong who reigns supreme! Don't you have even this bit of understanding? Dignity isn't given to you by others, but it's you who award it to yourself! If you and I have the strength of Soul Sea Realm, why would we need to adapt to their mood? Now that several fine saplings have finally appeared in our sect, they mustn't be ruined in our hands!"
Luo Qingfeng's words made Xiao Jian unbelievably dejected.
It had always been the strong who reigned supreme in the martial arts world. Weaklings were only eliminated and not sympathized.
The Heavenly Sky Sect was powerful, that was why their sect members dared to be so unbridled!
Although Xiao Jian's way of doing things could obtain a momentary comfort, the aftermath would be too serious.
Once they were given a handle, the Heavenly Sky Sect might just use it as an opportunity to start a sect war with the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
In that case, the consequences would be serious!
This was not raising a false alarm. The Heavenly Sky Sect's wild ambitions were already laid b.a.r.e in the open. Initiating a sect war was a possibility.
With the Heavenly Sky Sect's strength, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would be hard-pressed to escape the fate of having the sect annihilated.
The disparity between the number one great sect and a bottom-tier sect was seriously too great!
In the Heavenly Sky Sect, just the Soul Sea Realm powerhouses numbered quite a few! While the Tranquil Cloud Sect only had Skymaple this one Soul Sea Realm powerhouse.
Grand Elder Skymaple was even just an alchemist. His combat power was negligible.
