Chapter 2220: Here Comes A Big One! (1)
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Yun had suffered torture for the past seven days before he made a breakthrough in the Azure Dragon Divine Physique, allowing his bones to transform into Dragonâs Bones. Then again, this wasnât a natural transformation,m and it couldnât be compared to the bones of pure-blooded dragons. Even so, this was enough to increase the power of his divine physique by several fold.
Now, relying on the divine physique, he could easily move freely under ten times gravity without activating the Dragonâs Blood or thunderstorm energy.
Ye Guhan moved and released the restriction on Lin Yunâs Astral Sword Intent. This made Lin Yun breathe a sigh of relief as the pressure on him decreased. He moved his limbs and discovered that he had restored half of his movement techniqueâs speed.
It suddenly felt like it had been a long time since he had adapted to having his saint aura and sword intent sealed for the past seven days. In the past, he could only use the power of his Azure Dragon Divine Physique and couldnât even reach one-tenth of his movement techniqueâs speed.
âSenior Brother, since weâre going to practice sword techniques, release my saint aura as well,â Lin Yun smiled as he tried to negotiate.
Ye Guhan chewed on the Divine Dragon Fruit and smiled, âYou must be dreaming. Long Yun, donât be in a hurry to leave so quickly and seal his Azure Dragon Divine Physique.â
Lin Yun awkwardly smiled, âSenior Brother, you donât have to be that harsh, right?â
âJunior Brother, you have chosen this path yourself. Since you believe me, you should listen to what I say,â Ye Guhan smiled. âItâs already too late to regret it.â
The Dragon Origin Great Saint frowned, âItâs not easy to deal with divine physique unless he cooperates willingly. Furthermore, it can only be accomplished with the help of a pellet, and thatâs only for a short period.â
The reason why body-refining Saints were powerful was because it was hard to restrain their strength. After all, a divine physiqueâs power came from the blood, bones, and internal organs.
Lin Yun saw a glimmer of hope and smiled, âSee? Itâs too troublesome.â
But Ye Guhan said nothing as he turned to look at the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint.
The Heavenly Jade Sword Saint took out the base of a pellet, and said without any emotions, âThis is the base of the Blood Devouring Pellet. After consuming it, it will consume the vitality of your divine physique. For seven days, the Blood Devouring Pellet will start forming within your body, so your divine physique will be restricted.â
The Dragon Origin Great Saint looked at it with fear and exclaimed, âYou still kept this damned thing refined by Radiant?â
The Heavenly Jade Sword Saint glared at the Dragon Origin Great Saint, and she said, âHow is this damned? Didnât you use it in the past? It can temper your physique and saint pill, two stones with a bird.â
Lin Yun was baffled when he heard that, and soon figured out that this was the same as refining a pellet within the body, and the divine physique would be greatly restricted during this period.
âFurthermore, the pellet produced will be of perfect quality, and even the best alchemists canât reproduce it,â the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint said.
The Dragon Origin Great Saint took the pellet, and smiled, âThatâs for sure. After all, using the divine physique as a cauldron and the blood as flames to refine a pellet. It cannot be found by other alchemists.â
The Dragon Origin Great Saint approached Lin Yun, and sighed, âThat was a terrible history. Back then, that damned Radiant bluffed me to consume over a hundred of these Blood Devouring Pellets. I practice the Dracophant Saint Purgatory Art, which refined the Dracophant Saint Purgatory Pellet. If it appeared, it would cause a huge uproar since its recipe was long lost.â
The corner of Lin Yunâs lips twitched, and he comforted, âMaster, it has been tough for you.â
But the Dragon Origin Great Saint wore a playful smile, and said, âHaha, I also benefited from it. Furthermore, arenât you around? You can atone for your masterâs sins.â
Before Lin Yun could react, the Dragon Origin Great Saint shoved the pellet into Lin Yunâs mouth. As the Blood Devouring Pellet coiled around his body, it sank into his violet palace with his vitality being lured over. His vitality kept being consumed by the Blood Devouring Pellet. Lin Yun tried to use it, but discovered that he couldnât circulate his vitality.
His current physique was no different from an ordinary Quasi-Saint or even worse. Now that Lin Yun could only rely on his sword intent to withstand the pressure, he immediately fell onto one knee.
âBack then, I took the Blood Devouring Pellet when I was already at the Saint Realm, so this pellet is best for those at the Quasi-Saint Realm. So you can enjoy it,â The Dragon Origin Great Saint said, and he left satisfied.
Lin Yun bitterly smiled because they were all here to mess with him.
âStand up like a sword. The Radiantâs lineage will never lower our heads!â Ye Guhanâs indifferent voice resounded.
Lin Yun gritted his teeth and tried to support himself. But after losing his divine physique, his physique was too weak, so he couldnât properly stand up even if when using the Astral Sword Intent. He would've long collapsed onto the ground if he didnât have his Astral Sword Intent.
âYou canât hold on when itâs just ten times the gravity?â Ye Guhan sneered. âIâm not using my saint aura and have restrained my sword intent at the Astral Sword Intent.â
His words triggered Lin Yun as he gritted his teeth and stood back up, bearing the pressure. Anyone could hear the cracking sounds coming from his body, which didnât feel great. Before he could raise his head, Ye Guhan flicked his finger, and Lin Yun was sent flying away, smashing against a boulder.
Lin Yun held onto his chest and threw out a mouthful of blood, his face becoming pale and a hint of rage flashing across his eyes. Ye Guhan had launched a sneak attack against him.
Ye Guhan looked as though he had changed into an entirely different person, and shook his head, âIt looks like youâre too weak, Junior Brother. Do you really want to challenge a Saint with only this much? If you didnât have those encounters and the Sovereign Saint Artifact, the finger of a Saint, I mean a strand of hair, is enough to immobilize you.â
Lin Yunâs face sank unconvincingly, but he couldnât refute it since he was already having difficulty gasping for air. He always believed in using his sword to speak, and that he wouldnât waste time talking if he could speak with actions, even if this person was his senior brother.
âWhatâs the matter? Unconvinced?â Ye Guhan sneered. âAm I wrong? Others didnât have a powerful master like the Radiant Sword Saint, and they werenât like you, who could always have someone helping you. Jiang Jingtian helped you in the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect, and our master helped you in the Sword Sect. As for the Heavenly Dao Sect? You have two mistresses, your senior brother, your master, and a Sovereign Saint Artifact.â
Lin Yunâs blood boiled as he suppressed his rage. That wasnât fair since he had experienced countless life-and-deaths along the way. It wasnât as simple as Ye Guhan had described.
âThe Horizon Hawk Saint Lord didnât have that, so are you not bullying him?â Ye Guhan mocked, and his smile looked sarcastic in Lin Yunâs eyes.
âShut it!â Lin Yun unleashed his anger as he drew the Flower Burial Sword, thrusting it towards Ye Guhan. This sword was fast, and Lin Yun had been waiting for a long time. If Ye Guhan had sealed his saint aura and his sword intent was similar to his, this attack would be able to defeat Ye Guhan.
As the sword ray reached Ye Guhan, it tore apart Ye Guhanâs clothes. As he said, the latter had sealed his saint aura, making Lin Yun look smug. So what if this person was his senior brother?
But Ye Guhan took a step back as he waved his hand. The Flower Burial Sword flew out, and the sword pierced his sleeves.
âThatâs more like it!â Ye Guhan smiled and sent Lin Yun flying with a wave of his sleeve. As he smiled, he took a fruit and started gnawing on it. âJunior Brother, it looks like youâre still lacking.â
Lin Yun fell onto the ground and couldnât even struggle back onto his feet.
âLetâs stop here,â the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint shook her head.
When he heard that, Lin Yun had joy flashing in his eyes, and he looked at Ye Guhan with resentment. Even if he knew that Ye Guhan did it on purpose, he was still furious because of what he said. In the end, it was the mistress that treated him better.
But just when he was about to thank the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint, the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint waved her hand, and he was sent back to the foot of the mountain. âWe canât teach him now. Let him take a trip back up here again.â
âHolyâ¦â Before Lin Yun could say the second word, he already rolling to the foot of the mountain. Without his divine physique, the pain made his entire body ache, and he finally understood that those who didnât speak were the most ruthless.
âLook at that resentment in his eyes,â Ye Guhan said.
âWhat you said was a little too much,â the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint said.
âIâm tempering his heart. After all, some Saints are really terrible, and they like to mock their opponents,â Ye Guhan said righteously.
âNot as bad as you,â the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint replied.
For the next period, Lin Yun was tortured. While his sword intent adapted to the gravity, Ye Guhan moved as they fought. Lin Yun faced two opponents because the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint also joined in.
Most importantly, the Heavenly Jade Sword Saint used the Divine Firefly Sword, while Ye Guhan used the Great Profound Sword Canon. As a result, Lin Yun had to divide his attention into two and faced the two Great Saints. But he never lasted more than ten moves between them.
Although the two didnât use their full strength, he didnât hold back and was terrifyingly fast. Lin Yun even suspected if the ten-fold gravity had any effects on them.
âThis wonât do! I canât hold on any longer!â Three days later, Lin Yun barely endured through fifteen moves before he waved his hand, gasping for breath.
âJunior Brother, a man can never say he canât hold on any longer.â Ye Guhan smiled as he was prepared to âcomfortâ Lin Yun. But just when he was about to make a move, the powerless Lin Yun suddenly stood up with his sword and thrusted towards Ye Guhan.
Lin Yunâs sword spiraled in mid-air as though there were two people, one executing the Divine Firefly Sword while the other executed the Carefree 9 Swords. This was completely different from splitting himself into two in the past. The Divine Firefly Sword was performed through the Dragon-Phoenix World Annihilating Sword Canon, while the Carefree 9 Sword was performed with the Great Profound Sword Canon.
He might seem to have split his heart into two, but he had split his heart into four instead or even more because he had to seal off Ye Guhanâs path of retreat.
