Chapter 1932 - Divine Firefly Sword
The Sovereign's Ascension
Looking at the youthful Ye Qingtian, Ren Tong enviously sighed, âI really envy youngsters like you.â
Lin Yun didnât want to say a word, but Ren Tongâs sigh had strummed a particular string in his heart. He spoke out, âHold it right there.â
âWhatâs the matter? You want to humiliate me even though I have admitted defeat?â Ren Tong turned around and looked at Ye Qingtian with his brows furrowed. This was because Ye Qingtian didnât have a good reputation within the sect.
But Lin Yun shook his head and replied, âIn my eyes, a swordsman has nothing to do with their age. We should pursue our goals regardless of age; a man is still youthful even after he dies!â
That was what he thought and did. Lin Yun was young but experienced more life and death experience than the old man. So the blood in his heart was still as boiling as before.
Ren Tong initially thought that Ye Qingtian wanted to humiliate him, but he was stumped after hearing what Ye Qingtian said. Not only that, but many people were shocked when they heard what Ye Qingtian said because it didnât sound like something that Ye Qingtian would say. But for some reason, they could feel their hearts boiling when they heard him.
Chen Feng was also stumped, wondering if this was still the same senior brother as before. When he looked at Ye Qingtian, who was donned a white robe, he felt that Ye Qingtianâs figure seemed like a mountain in his eyes.
âThis is Senior Brother Ye? It looks like he has undergone a drastic transformation after changingâ¦â
âYe Qingtian is really dashing!â
âItâs no wonder why he can receive the attention of two holy maidens. So he really has changed.â The female disciples all looked at Ye Qingtian with their eyes shining brightly and faces blushing.
On the other hand, Zhang Yue and Ye Feifanâs faces were ugly. Zhang Yue commented, âHe really knows how to put on an act.â
âLetâs see how heâll fair, then!â Ye Feifan said coldly.
âThank you for your teachings.â Ren Tong bowed and left the stage.
Lin Yun didnât take long to obtain nine victories in a row, with the entire group being swept up by Lin Yun. His profound sword techniques, cool demeanor, and words had subdued everyone present.
Those who lost wore bitter expressions because they initially thought Ye Qingtian was an easy opponent, but that wasnât the case. Despite feeling bitter, they were fully convinced by their loss.
Four hours later, the other nine groups also concluded, and everyone with the â0â medal maintained their positions as they stood on the reunited stage. All the inner and saint disciples held their breaths as they watched because they knew the finals were starting.
None of the ten on the stage were pushovers, and the competition would definitely be intense. Everyone initially thought Wang Muyan could become the champion, but they werenât that confident now.
Even the Saint Eldersâ faces had become tense, especially the Nether Slaughtering Saint Sovereign and Dragon Origin Great Saint. On the other hand, the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint maintained her composure.
Quasi-Saint Chi Yun descended from the sky and glanced over the ten. He said, âI have to congratulate everyone for making it into the top ten, and the battle for the Ranking Battle begins.â
This meant everyone would compete for the championship because the other rankings were ordinary, which was a cruel reality. Only the champion would be remembered by everyone. Geniuses were all prideful, and the other rankings were no different from humiliation.
âThe rules are the same as always; whoever stands out will be the â0â candidate. He can choose to challenge one by one or challenge several people simultaneously,â Chi Yun said. âThe treatment for the â0â candidate is the same, and heâs allowed to fail once while everyone else will be eliminated if they are defeated.â
But none of the top ten moved after hearing that, and even Wang Muyan didnât seem interested. Zhang Yue, Ye Feifan, and the others also didnât make a move. This was because the treatment of the â0â candidate wasnât captivating to them because losing once or twice didnât make a difference. They didnât stand out because they werenât confident they could preserve their trump cards.
âSince no one wants to stand out, weâll determine the â0â candidate by lots,â Chi Yun said, and he wasnât surprised by this scene.
âLet me be the â0â candidate.â When Chi Yun wanted everyone to draw lots, Ye Qingtian quickly stood out.
This made everyone briefly stunned before they couldnât help smiling.
On the Heavenly Dao Altar, the Nether Slaughtering Saint Sovereign smiled, âHeâs really is as the Dragon Origin Great Saint said; he still hasnât changed his cockiness. Itâs easy for him to fall if he maintains his cockiness!â
The Dragon Origin Great Saint was already cursing inwardly. Still, he maintained his composure on the surface and smiled, âWith the strength of my disciple, itâs hard even if he wanted to maintain a low profile. Nether Slaughtering Saint Sovereign, you donât know the outcome!â
The Nether Slaughtering Saint Sovereign awkwardly smiled after hearing that, and he wanted to see if the Dragon Origin Great Saint could still smile later.
âWang Yue, come on!â Lin Yun called out to Wang Yue, picking him as his first opponent.
Wang Yueâs face changed, and he wasnât too willing. After all, he already lost to Ye Qingtian once and initially thought about taking revenge after returning from the Loser Group. But he wasnât that willing anymore after being called out by Ye Qingtian. He didnât want to fight Ye Qingtian so quickly, this caused him to cower.
On the contrary, Lin Yun smiled, âWang Yue, have you found a way to break through my sword technique?â
âWhy donât you take a guess?â Wang Yue asked indifferently. He already figured out a way back then. He was looking forward to facing Ye Qingtianâs Profound Thunder Sword Technique again and surprising the latter.
âBlooming Nether Orchid!â Wang Yue repeated and executed the Nether Orchid Sword Technique once more.
âThis move againâ¦â Lin Yun smiled. He wasnât used to it before, but didnât need to treat it seriously now. With a wave of his hand, Netherflowers appeared on the ground with a death aura spreading out.
The petals of the Netherflowers and Nether Orchids turned into two tornadoes that charged at each other along with their swords. One was filled with death aura while the other was brimming life force with their sword intents empowering their attacks.
After a few breaths, the tornadoes reached a hundred feet, making everyoneâs hearts tremble. This was a confrontation between death and life. When the two tornadoes clashed, they created a considerable commotion with petals flying around. The two tornadoes gradually fused with thunder rumbling in the sky.
Lin Yun and Wang Yue both disappeared, before they clashed above the tornadoes with a powerful gale flashing with sparks flying around.
âFirefly Radiance!â
âFirefly Radiance!â The two executed the Divine Firefly Sword, and the first layer of heaven shattered with starlight raining down when their swords clashed. When they clashed, a powerful sword aura swept out from them.
âDawn Radiance!â
âSunset Radiance!â
âWaning Moon!â
âHeavenly Snowing Mountain!â Lin Yun and Wang Yue began to execute the Divine Firefly Sword, clashing together. This shocked everyone because they didnât expect that Wang Yue would also know the Divine Firefly Sword.
When they clashed, the two tornadoes also fused. When life and death merged, they formed a thousand-foot high tornado that tore apart the surroundings. The powerful gales made their clothes violently flutter, and when they swung their swords, they executed the Divine Firefly SwordâSilver Blood.
Two silver starry skies appeared behind them, and a crimson radiance shone on their swords. When their swords clashed, the tornado was torn apart.
When Ye Qingtian and Wang Yue descended, Wang Yue gasped for his breath with disbelief filled in his pupils. The Divine Firefly Sword was a trump card he had hidden, and he initially planned to catch Ye Qingtian by surprise. But he didnât expect that he would fail, and even his Life Intent failed to suppress Ye Qingtian.
On the other hand, Lin Yun merely stood with his sword, looking at the petals flying around as though he was enjoying the beautiful scenery. Then again, the scenery was beautiful as Lin Yun stood in the petals.
Wang Yue was unwilling, but he gritted his teeth and summoned his constellation. A scarlet dragon enveloped in flames appeared when the painting unfolded, releasing a powerful dragon aura. When the dragon aura swept out, Wang Yueâs aura rose with cracks spreading on the ground.
âThe Scarlet True Dragon!â
âSenior Brother Wangâs constellation is a little terrifying. Even the power of a Quasi-Saintâs constellation isnât this powerful.â
âI heard the Wang Clan especially gave him dragon blood to cultivate this constellation, and this is his trump card.â
âYe Qingtian hasnât brought out his constellation, and it wonât be easy for him.â Everyone looked at the scarlet dragon and exclaimed with fear filling their pupils.
On the contrary, Wang Yue restored his confidence and said, âYe Qingtian, bring out your constellation!â
âAs you wish.â Lin Yun did not intend to hide it, and he smiled as a painting flew out of his body. The painting seemed ordinary, but it made everyoneâs faces change when the painting unfolded.
âHow is this possible?!â Everyone looked at Ye Qingtianâs constellation with disbelief because Ye Qingtianâs constellation was the Primordial Kunpeng!
