Chapter 2030 - Settling Old and New Scores!
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Yun soared to the sky after he was done speaking. Wang Muyan was fast, and he could only see her blurred figure in the darkness.
Her speed wasnât compatible with her cultivation at the fourth transformation of the Nirvana Stage, and Lin Yun had to use his full strength to keep up with her. If Wang Muyan was a little faster, Lin Yun would have to bring out the Golden Crow Wings if he wanted to catch up with her.
âShe didnât leave the city.â Lin Yun was baffled because he thought Wang Muyan wanted to flee the city, and an ambush might be waiting for him outside the city. But Wang Muyan was heading to the center of the city instead.
Fifteen minutes later, Wang Muyan landed on a stone pillar. This was the altar within Six Holy City, with a stone monument erected on the plaza. The stone monument was filled with obscure scriptures.
The plaza was massive but desolated with a thick layer of dust that had been there for a long time, and the scriptures on the stone monument were no longer readable.
Lin Yun landed not far from the stone monument, looking at Wang Muyan with doubts within his pupils. Wang Muyan stared at the stone monument and said, âYe Qingtian, do you know what this monument is?â
Hearing what Wang Muyan said, Lin Yun turned to look at the erected monument. There was a legend that this was a Deity-Sealing Monument with an actual deity sealed within it. That was the information Lin Yun read from some books before coming to the God Burial Mountain Range.
He knew that Six Holy City was an ancient Dragon City. It was destroyed in ancient times and was repaired before being occupied by the six holy lands.
Wang Muyan didnât wait for Lin Yunâs response and muttered, âThis is a Deity-Sealing Monument. But the scriptures disappeared when the city was destroyed during ancient times, and deities no longer existed. The Southern Emperor personally fixed this monument three thousand years ago and wrote the scriptures. The entire seal around the God Burial Mountain Range comes from this stone monument, and no Saints can enter even after three thousand years.â
Lin Yun had no changes on his face and said, âThereâs no point telling me about this.â
He already decided to kill Wang Muyan and wouldnât let her go because of some secrets.
Wang Muyan turned around and smiled, âOf course. I wouldnât let go of such a good opportunity if I was in your position.â
She circled the monument before sitting on the stone pillar. Her facial features were outlined under the moonlight as she continued, âBut you canât kill me because the Astral Sword Intent isnât invincible.â
âYou seem very confident in yourself,â Lin Yun said.
Wang Muyan smiled, âThere arenât only friends and enemies in the world. The reason why we have come this far is because we have no trust between us. If youâre willing to tell me why youâre searching for the Solar Lunar Divine Rune, I can tell you why Iâm looking for it.â
âPerhaps we can use another method.â Lin Yun held onto the sword and wasted no words with Wang Muyan. Filling his body with nirvana aura, Lin Yunâs Astral Sword Intent exploded as he coldly looked at Wang Muyan.
Wang Muyan maintained her smile as a mysterious crimson moon appeared within her pupils. As an ancient aura rampaged within her body, she instantly became deep and unfathomable.
âIt looks like your secrets arenât as simple as the Blood Moon Sect,â Lin Yun said.
âYou can give it a try. I have more secrets than you think,â Wang Muyan smiled. No one could see anything on her face.
Lin Yun drew his sword and his sword intent swept out. He didnât hold back in releasing his Astral Sword Intent. When he released his sword intent, a starry sky appeared behind him with stars being faintly visible, and his sword rays enveloped Wang Muyan.
Wang Muyan calmly swung two red cloths that clashed with the incoming sword rays.
But Lin Yun left behind an afterimage, and his sword ray enveloped Wang Muyan. But Wang Muyan didnât move. The red cloth was like an impenetrable fortress that was protecting her.
âH-How is this possible?â Lin Yun was surprised because Wang Muyan actually managed to resist his Astral Sword Intent, which was too unbelievable, not to mention Wang Muyan was only at the fourth transformation of the Nirvana Stage.
âYe Qingtian, is this all you have?â Wang Muyan smiled.
Seeing this, the star within Lin Yunâs sword sea began to blaze with his Astral Sword Intent fully unleashed. The red cloths were knocked away as Lin Yun dashed forth with the Flower Burial Sword targeting Wang Muyanâs forehead.
There were no changes to Wang Muyanâs smile as she disappeared, leaving ripples in the surrounding space whenever she moved. She was using a bizarre movement technique, and Lin Yun couldnât lock onto her due to her movement technique.
The surroundings were filled with Wang Muyanâs figures as a powerful charm was released from her. Lin Yunâs Azure Dragon Sword Heart throbbed as he restored his clarity and stabbed forth with the Flower Burial Sword, breaking through the fluctuation in the surrounding space.
As cracking sounds echoed, space was like glass that shattered apart, and the chaotic space was returned to the right track.
This surprised Wang Muyan because she couldnât avoid it in time. Her hand became jade-white, before she clamped onto the Flower Burial Sword. An ancient seal was blooming at the back of her hand, and her hand was emitting a jade-white radiance.
Lin Yun stretched his hand forth and was shocked to discover that his sword couldnât move. It was as though a strange power was restraining it. But what surprised Lin Yun even more was that Wang Muyan could see his sword's trajectory, which was unbelievable.
Wang Muyan smiled, âThis is a secret technique of the Dragon Gate, the Spirit Jade Finger. Itâs an ancient technique, and no sword techniques can break through it.â
Lin Yun couldnât be bothered to argue with Wang Muyan and released his sword before appearing behind her. As his hands joined together, a powerful dragon aura swept out from him as he formed the Sovereign Dragon Seal.
In the blink of an eye, seven colors shone from his palm as he executed the complete Sovereign Dragon Seal.
This shocked Wang Muyan, forcing her to let go of the Flower Burial Sword and turned around. The red cloths had quickly gathered together. When the Sovereign Dragon Seal clashed with the red cloths, they produced a huge commotion before the red cloths collapsed with Wang Muyan flying away.
âLight of the Beginning!â Lin Yun grabbed the Flower Burial Sword and swung it.
âAlmighty Heavens!â Wang Muyan had fear reflected in her pupils with her hands clasped together. She seemed to have become a deity at this moment and was more prestigious than heaven.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The collision of their attacks caused a huge flash of light before Lin Yun and Wang Muyan were sent flying away, landing on a stone pillar each.
Lin Yun held onto the Flower Burial Sword and said, âWith this move alone, youâre stronger than Jin Xuanyi. The rumors are true; you possess the Sun-Moon Divine Physique.â
Wang Muyan formed a seal, before she was surrounded by light. An ancient crimson moon seal bloomed within her pupils that cleansed the charm she was giving off, adding a layer of divinity to her.
Shaking her head, Wang Muyan said, âI still canât fully use the power of the Sun-Moon Divine Physique. You just refuse to admit that the Astral Sword Intent isnât invincible.â
Lin Yunâs face changed. He didnât admire Wang Muyan. He didnât like those scheming behind his back, but he would show his respect for his enemy as long as they showed enough strength. Wang Muyan was the former because she had always been scheming.
âWith your strength, you didnât have to rely on Xiao Jingyan and Jin Xuanyi. If you had come to the Myriad Graves Valley, itâs uncertain who would have died,â Lin Yun said. This was the doubt he had. Since Xin Yan could think about it, Lin Yun could also naturally think about it.
âWe spent such good times together in the past, so how could I bear killing you? I just want you to return to my side,â Wang Muyan smiled.
âIâm not Ye Qingtian,â Lin Yun said.
âIt doesnât matter who you are because you have caught my attention. If youâre willing to return, I will treat you well,â Wang Muyan smiled.
âAs a chess piece? Someone like you has no heart at all,â Lin Yun sneered.
Wang Muyan wasnât furious when she heard that. She smiled, âAre you jealous? Youâre different from Xiao Jingyan and Jin Xuanyi. Theyâre only flies, but you have my love. I told you that the Astral Sword Intent isnât invincible. Ever since the Sword Sect declined, the overall strength of swordsmen within the Eastern Desolation has plummeted. The current sacred ground for swordsmen is Skysolute City, the Hidden Sword Manor, and the Divine Dragon Sword Pavilion, the rising stars of the Sword League.â
Lin Yun raised his head and asked, âWhat are you trying to say?â
âI want to say that I can give you anything, more than what the Heavenly Dao Sect can give you,â Wang Muyan said.
âYouâre not able to last long, right?â Lin Yun asked.
Wang Muyanâs face changed when she heard that. Before she could reply, Lin Yun suddenly moved and the Flower Burial Sword flew out with a flick.
The two glory spirits within the Flower Burial Sword were activated and the red cloth was knocked back. Lin Yun shook his arms while activating the Azure Dragon Sword Heart, releasing a silver sword radiance that looked like a domain, isolating Wang Muyan from the outside world.
As the crimson moon within Wang Muyanâs pupils disappeared, the aura she gave off immediately plummeted, and she threw out a mouthful of blood, her face becoming pale. She immediately felt suffocating when the Astral Sword Intent came crashing down on her.
âIâve been wondering why you brought me here, and I finally understand now. You canât use the power of the Sun-Moon Divine Physique, so you wanted to use the power beneath the Deity-Sealing Monument!â Lin Yun said, looking at Wang Muyan.
It was as he had expected. When the Azure Dragon Sword Heart isolated her from the outside world, Wang Muyanâs power immediately disappeared, and she couldnât even stand up against him with her cultivation at the fourth transformation of the Nirvana Stage.
Wang Muyanâs face changed, and was no longer as calm as before. While coldly looking at Lin Yun, she said, âIt looks like I have underestimated you!â
âYou donât have to look at me that way. The game has just begun. I told you not to fall into my hands, since I have plenty of ways to deal with you!â Lin Yun recalled how he was tricked by Wang Muyan when he just came to the Heavenly Dao Sect. When he went to the Myriad Graves Valley, he faced a tough opponent like Xiao Jingyan. So it was time for him to settle the old and new scores with her.
When Lin Yun grabbed her shoulder, Wang Muyan immediately felt something wasnât right. She asked in a trembling tone, âW-What are you trying to do?â
Lin Yun tucked and ripped Wang Muyanâs clothes, leaving behind a thin cloth that enveloped her voluptuous figure.
This made Wang Muyan briefly stunned before she smiled, âYe Qingtian, is this what you want? You couldâve just told me about it. Thereâs no need for such trouble. I can give it to you anytime you want.â
But Lin Yun merely smiled and stepped forth, grabbing Wang Muyanâs wrist.
Wang Muyanâs hands covered her chest, but Lin Yun realized she was struggling. This immediately confirmed Lin Yunâs speculation that Wang Muyan was putting on an act.
Wang Muyanâs face became pale as she tremblingly said, âYe Qingtian, are you serious?!â
âWerenât you cocky earlier? Didnât you say that I can do anything I want as long as I can catch up to you? Why are you unwilling now?â Lin Yun smiled.
Wang Muyan was furious, and she struggled, âLet me go! Youâre committing baptism against a deity!â
Lin Yun was surprised when he heard that. This confirmed that Wang Muyan was the Blood Moon Sectâs Divine Maiden.
âScream all you want because no one can hear you.â Lin Yun slowly separated Wang Muyanâs arm from her chest with brute force. This place was deserted for a long time, not to mention Wang Muyan was within his domain. So her voice couldnât spread out no matter how she screamed.
As Lin Yun slowly separated Wang Muyanâs arm, more of Wang Muyanâs body was revealed, and this made Wang Muyanâs face paler. She was really frightened this time.
