"Soul Sea Realm is indeed powerful! Looks like I still underestimated Elder Dai! Elder Dai's strength, among First Level Soul Sea Realms, is also considered very strong! But wanting to bring me away just based on this is still not quite enough!"
Dai Yuhen shook his head and said with a sigh, "I know that geniuses all have their pride. But you being able to perform to such an extent is already very impressive! Even if you lost, there's nothing to be ashamed of either."
The way Dai Yuhen saw it, Ye Yuan was a dead duck being stubborn and could not bear a loss.
In the case of geniuses, their talents were greater compared to normal people. But they also found it very hard to accept failure without misgivings.
Ye Yuan forcing him to this extent with First Level Sea Transformation boundary was truly very remarkable already.
"Lost? Haha! I can't afford to lose! Hence . . . my only way out is to keep winning all the way!" Ye Yuan laughed self-mockingly.
Finished talking, Ye Yuan released his aura fully once more. Wind-Fire Violent Blaze Transforming Dragon condensed and formed in his hands rapidly!
Seeing this scene, Dai Yuhen's face changed!
This move had yet to be released, and it already made even him, this Soul Sea Realm expert, feel somewhat daunted! Presumably, the power was extraordinary!
Just how many trump cards in his hands has this boy not used yet? The power of that move earlier was freakish enough already. This current move is actually even more perverse than the move just now!
Dai Yuhen silently cussed in his heart.
But grumbling was grumbling. Dai Yuhen's speed of executing his move was not slow.
"Crane Dance Nine Heavens!"
It was still the previous move, Crane Dance Nine Heavens. But this time, Dai Yuhen used 90% of his power!
Under normal circ.u.mstances, not at a life-and-death juncture, martial artists would not employ all of their essence energy.
If the essence energy that one martial technique move expended were too much, it would make the martial artist lack strength to carry on. Once they could not dispose of their opponent, then it would be them perishing.
Hence, martial artists only used 60% - 70% of their strength under most circ.u.mstances when fighting.
That Crane Dance Nine Heavens move earlier, Dai Yuhen already wielded 70% strength.
It was not to be underestimated how this 70% strength did not seem to be much. To a First Level Sea Transformation like Ye Yuan, it was already tremendous respect.
One had to know that if Dai Yuhen's opponent were swapped, he probably would not even use 10% of his strength!
First Level Soul Sea and Fourth Level Sea Transformation was simply not a fight on the same level.
But this time, Dai Yuhen used 90% power in one go. It was practically already his full power!
Before this, Dai Yuhen simply had not thought of this possibility that Ye Yuan would actually forced him to this sort of degree!
90% power Crane Dance Nine Heavens! It actually carried the faint cries of immortal cranes in the palm wind. It could be seen that Dai Yuhen already displayed this move to the ultimate.
The roaring sounds of the wind and fire colossal dragon and the faint cries of immortal cranes surged to the skies, colliding together fiercely.
Rumble!
A massive impact, stirring up waves of air billows, sending the City Lord Manor's rubble flying.
The martial artists below already deliberately maintained distances. But there were still many martial artists who were knocked over by this bout of air blast.
The shock wave of Soul Sea Realm level battle was too great.
"Hiss . . . That young man is too scary! This time, the two people are actually evenly-matched!"
"He is still First Level Sea Transformation and has such terrifying combat strength already! By the time his strength reaches Soul Sea Realm, how terrifying would it be?!"
"This young man seems to have limitless trump cards. I even thought that move just now was already his greatest trump card. To think that this move is even more terrifying!"
This time, Ye Yuan and Dai Yuhen fought to a draw. Dai Yuhen was actually blasted flying out!
But Dai Yuhen's realm was much higher than Ye Yuan's. So he only suffered some light injuries.
However, this was already plenty to shock Dai Yuhen to his core!
The attack of a Middle-Stage Sea Transformation Realm could actually hurt a Soul Sea Realm?
Furthermore, the attack this time was even under the prerequisite of him using 90% power!
Which was also to say that Ye Yuan's combat strength was already infinitely close to his!
"Ye Yuan, I must admit now that you have enough qualifications to be my opponent! You're very strong!" Dai Yuhen declared to Ye Yuan earnestly.
Ye Yuan was similarly blasted flying out. But his injuries were much heavier compared to Dai Yuhen's.
However, Ye Yuan's facial expression did not have the slightest hint of pain. He was abnormally excited instead!
Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that he actually gradually developed a liking for this feeling of fighting.
Previous life, all of his time and energy was spent on alchemy skills, and he virtually did not experience the joy of fighting.
But in this life, he walked the path of vengeance and experienced countless instances of great life-and-death battles. He actually gradually developed a liking for this sort of feeling!
This feeling of treading the borders of life and death made Ye Yuan incomparably stimulated!
Fighting formidable foes one after another also made Ye Yuan unbelievably free from inhibitions!
This feeling of liberation was exactly the same as refining pills!
Originally, Ye Yuan was only passively walking the martial path. But now, he quite enjoyed this joy of growing.
Ye Yuan was deeply aware that only by falling in love madly with something could people have the chance to reach the top.
Previously, he had always been forcing himself to cultivate the martial path. Actually, it was not enough to sustain him to reach Ji Canglan's height.
But now, Ye Yuan had the confidence to surpass everything!
"Haha! Elder Dai, you're very strong too! Truly to my heart's content! Let's fight again!" Ye Yuan said heroically.
Dai Yuhen's life goal was likewise the Martial Path. In this battle, fighting until now had great inspiration to him!
Saying it out was even quite inconceivable!
A Soul Sea Realm expert actually obtained enormous harvests through a fight with a Sea Transformation Realm martial artist!
Yet, this was not something that was unthinkable. Ye Yuan's moves contained the of the great Dao, much greater than Dai Yuhen's own comprehensions.
It was precisely due to this that Dai Yuhen could glean much insights from this battle.
He believed that if he went back to seclude and comprehend things this time, he was bound to have huge harvests!
But the fight was not over yet!
"Haha! Good! It's hard to meet an opponent like you. The next attack, you have to be careful! This is where the essence of my life's work lie, and also my final trump card! If that was your limits just now, I advice you to best not fight anymore and surrender without resistance!"
Dai Yuhen was also stimulated by Ye Yuan's heroicness and wanted to have a final great battle with Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "I said before, I'll keep winning all the way! Elder Dai, you'd better return to the Purple Mansion Sect and devote yourself to the Martial Path! This kind of thing like invading the Endless World is unsuited for you!"
"Haha! Ye Yuan, you see it clearly! But, I, Dai Yuhen, received His Majesty, the Wind Emperor's, great grace. How can I watch with folded arms to this sort of thing? Enough crap. Come and fight!" Dai Yuhen said with a loud laugh.
"Alright. Since that's the case, then I'll send you packing! I recently comprehended a sword move. I myself have not tested its power eith
er. Elder Dai, you have to be careful!"
After the laughter, the two people's expressions were both a never-before solemness.
Both knew that the other party's next attack would be an earth-shattering blow!
Chapter 488 - Myriad Rain Sword Blades
"What are they talking about? Invade the Endless World?"
"Seems like that's the meaning! However . . . what in the world is going on? Who would invade the Endless World for no reason?"
"No idea. Their conversation is rather baffling."
Ye Yuan's words caused a considerable stir among the crowd.
The Purple Mansion Sect's true face had yet to be exposed up until now. These martial artists still thought that the Southern Domain's great change was just the Endless World's internal affairs.
Even though Ye Yuan did not put the cards on the table, he actually already stated it very obviously. As to how much these people would believe, it would be up to their fortunes.
If possible, Ye Yuan naturally wanted to bring everyone in the Southern Domain and move north. But time was pressing, and where would he find the time to convince these people one by one?
And at this time, the atmosphere between the two in the air already become somewhat strange.
The two people were still talking in a jovial manner just now. At this moment, the expressions on the two people's faces were a never-before solemn.
It even led to the surrounding atmosphere to be somewhat different.
Some slightly stronger martial artists were affected by this atmosphere and sensibly distanced away from the two once more.
Very soon, somebody guessed that this might be Ye Yuan or Dai Yuhen going to unleash their move!
Right then, Dai Yuhen moved.
This time, Dai Yuhen no longer held anything back. His full strength erupted abruptly. The surrounding essence energy gathered around him frenziedly.
"Quickly look! What's that?!"
"My God! He actually condensed gathered essence into materialization. How much heaven and earth essence energy did he needed to gather?!"
"Immortal crane phantom! The power of this move truly demonstrates the disparity between Soul Sea Realm and Sea Transformation Realm! Wonder how that young man will respond!"
Where Dai Yuhen's palm force rose, a faint phantom of an immortal crane actually formed gradually.
That was to say that Dai Yuhen already condensed essence energy to materialization. It could be seen how great the power of this move was!
And the condensed form of the amassed essence was precisely the prominent characteristic of Soul Sea Realm experts!
Soul Sea Realm experts could gather very terrifying essence energy with a wave of their hands. It was already on an entirely different level from Sea Transformation Realm experts.
This essence energy that was gathered could become corporeal. It could be seen just how powerful a martial technique move that they could use was.
But to the early-stage Soul Sea Dai Yuhen, condensing gathered essence was still somewhat too forceful. That was why he saved this move for the last.
Even so, that faint immortal crane phantom was also sufficient to astonish people!
On the other side, after Ye Yuan prepared for a long time, he finally moved too!
But this movement left everyone dumbstruck in amazement!
"What? This . . . This . . . This young man can actually condensed gathered essence into materialization too! Isn't he just Sea Transformation Realm?"
"What the f*ck! This is too perverse! He actually condensed out so many sword blades!"
"Just who the hell is this young man? His talent is too terrifying as well! Since ancient times, I've never heard of anybody who could condense gathered essence into materialization at the Sea Transformation Realm!"
Ye Yuan used Canghua Sword as a guide, and then around them were condensed myriad tiny sword blades!
The sword blades were not large; it was like fragments of a sword. Regardless of so, Ye Yuan succeeded in condensing beyond all doubt!
Those martial artists down below did not know Ye Yuan's past. If they knew that Ye Yuan could already maneuver heaven and earth essence energy at the Spirit Condensation Realm, perhaps they would feel that him condensing gathered essence in the Sea Transformation Realm was nothing much.
Of course, the difficulty of condensing gathered essence was completely not on the same level as maneuvering heaven and earth essence energy. Otherwise, Dai Yuhen would not treat it as his final ace in the hole either.
However, Ye Yuan's realm was still a little low in the end. So his control over essence energy reached an extremely minute degree, only condensing out tiny sword blades. This way, the difficulty would lessen greatly.
Seeing this scene, Dai Yuhen's face also had indescribable solemness.
The impact that Ye Yuan gave him today was seriously too great!
"I truly didn't think that you can actually perform to such an extent. You really made this Dai widen his horizons! Then let us use this move to determine the victor! With Cranes, Immortal Comes! Go!"
Dai Yuhen's palm force pressed on. That faint immortal crane phantom attacked Ye Yuan with a light cry!
Seeing that aggressive immortal crane phantom, Ye Yuan launched this martial technique unhurriedly.
"Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword . . . Myriad Rain Sword Blades!"
Sword blades whirled towards the immortal crane with extreme speed. It actually somewhat had the hint of reaching first despite launching later.
In that instance, in the eyes of the martial artists below, an immortal crane and a massive cl.u.s.ter of sword rain collided together violently, seemingly like a celestial phenomenon.
Rumble!
A violent explosion sound emitted in the air. Two figures plummeted from the skies respectively.
When Tian Yu saw the situation, he hurriedly leaped up and caught the Ye Yuan who fell down.
"Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, are you alright?"
When the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples saw the situation, they hurriedly crowded around and showed great concern about his well-being.
Ye Yuan's complexion was very pale. The corners of his mouth and his body dripped with a considerable amount of blood, his condition looking very poor.
Seeing his seniors and juniors express concern, Ye Yuan waved his hands feebly and said, "It's fine. Senior Apprentice Brother Tian Yu, I'll have to trouble you to help me over."
Dai Yuhen did not have Ye Yuan's treatment. His body slammed fiercely onto the ground.
But this degree of impact was not considered much to Soul Sea Realm martial artists.
Dai Yuhen's injuries were primarily from the fight earlier.
He was covered in wounds all over his body. That appearance was just like being stabbed by swords. They were evidently wounds left behind by Ye Yuan's move just now.
Seeing Ye Yuan came over, Dai Yuhen could not help forcing a smile and said, "To think that I actually lost to a Sea Transformation Realm today! However . . . you're really very strong! Being able to condense gathered essence into materialization at the Sea Transformation Realm, not saying never to be seen again, it's absolutely without any precedence, right?"
This sentence from Dai Yuhen immediately brought on a storm.
This Soul Sea Realm actually lost?
Because Ye Yuan and Dai Yuhen both sustained very severe injuries, those martial artists could not figure out for a moment just who won and who lost either.
Only hearing Dai Yuhen admit it personally now did they know that this Sea Transformation Realm youth actually really triumphed over a Soul Sea Realm expert!
They had long borne witness to Ye Yuan's might and were also already aware that Ye Yuan had the strength to contend with a Soul Sea Realm expert. Even after Dai Yuhen used a martial technique that condensed gathered essence into materialization, Ye Yuan still defeated him. This made those martial artists all feel like they were dreaming.
Turns out that Soul Se
a Realm experts were not undefeatable!
Dai Yuhen's With Cranes, Immortal comes was very strong. But during that battle earlier, Ye Yuan's sword blades ultimately still had a small number of them that broke through, landing on Dai Yuhen's body!
Hence, even though the two people both received severe injuries, it was actually still Ye Yuan whose skill was a level higher.
Ye Yuan's complexion was white as a sheet. This was not just suffering the tremendous impact of With Cranes, Immortal Comes. It was even because of essence energy expenditure being too exorbitant.
This move, Myriad Rain Sword Blades, seriously expended too much essence energy. Even if Ye Yuan's control of essence energy reached an extremely subtle level, it was also somewhat struggling to make ends meet.
Ye Yuan retrieved a medicinal pill from his storage ring and threw it to Dai Yuhen, saying with a forced smile, "Elder Dai is a true gentleman. Today, I won't start a slaughter. Hope that you conduct yourself well and don't associate with those Fierce Gale World's peoples' vile deeds!"
[0] Not important for those who aren't reading the chinese raws. Author has decided to change the name from Sword Rain Myriad Ren to Myriad Rain Sword Blades arbitrarily from Chapter 559 onwards. The Ren was an ancient unit of measurement. But I think author typed the wrong Ren (blade). Us puny mortals are at the whim of author-sama. This Ren (unit of measurement) was used several times up until it changed to Ren (blade) in Chapter 559. So, to avoid confusion later on, the technique will be standardized as Myriad Rain Sword Blades in accordance to the more recent chapters. Just in case some of you cross-reference to the raws and start flaming me.
Chapter 489 - No Greater Merit!
"Cough, cough, cough . . . I'm originally a Fierce Gale World's native. Whence the don't associate with their vile deeds? You've been to the Fierce Gale World before and should know that I have no command over myself."
Dai Yuhen also had a doleful look. Clearly, on the matter of invading the Endless World, he was quite conflicted too.
The war between two worlds signified endless massacre withe the dead souls being countless.
