Chapter 534 - Breaking the Restriction
The Sovereign's Ascension
In the Library Hall, Yu Mu and Mo Ling sat with their legs crossed with a tea set in front of them. Yu Mu placed the cup down and smiled, âIâm looking forward to seeing what they will get.â
âThey should be able to notice those black jade slips if everything goes well,â replied Mo Ling.
âYou seem pretty confident about them. But noticing is noticing, itâs another matter if they can break the restriction,â smiled Yu Mu.
âI believe a monstrous genius who managed to obtain an Infernal Flower will give you a surprise,â replied Mo Ling.
âSurprise?â Yu Mu moved her brow and smiled, âI hope so. Iâm more worried about my foolish discipleâ¦â
Yu Mu and Mo Lingâs eyes turned dim when they mentioned Liu Yunyan. They knew how fantic Liu Yunyan had been lately. She wasnât just hard working, but like a fully stretched bow that could snap any moment.
âIâve decided to let her look at the lesser divine ability after today,â said Mo Ling.
âYouâve made up your mind?â Yu Mo asked in a concerned tone.
âItâs too cruel that her fatherâs burden is all on her. If she doesnât get through this, sheâll always have a demon in her heartâ¦â
âBut the lesser divine ability isnât something that anyone can successfully learn,â countered Yu Mu.
âI want to give her some hope. If itâs not possible, then she should also give up on it quickly,â explained Mo Ling.
Yu Mu fell into a deep silence. Liu Yunyanâs father was her best friend. But a conceited decision Liu Yunyanâs father made fifteen years ago implicated the academy. This was why all the pressure was now on Liu Yunyan.
Suddenly, a spiritual rune fluctuation began to ripple out in the hall. Just when the two were baffled, the Library Hall began to shake. This made Yu Mu frown her brows as she tapped her finger out. A water screen appeared before her and in it was an azure-clothed youth enveloped in crimson radiance.
Looking at the person on the screen, Yu Mu was shocked before she replied bitterly, âThis lad has really given me a shock.
âElder Yu, whatâs the matter?â Mo Ling asked.
âHe seems to have come in contact with a forbidden technique,â said Yu Mu with a grave expression.
Mo Lingâs face changed when she heard that. The Library Hall had many forbidden techniques that were sealed. All of them had a great origin, but they also had many flaws. She expressed her doubt, âHe shouldnât be able to break through the restriction, right?â
âHe canât. But itâs out of his control if this jade slip jumped out by itself. This Seven Slaughtering Fist has chosen him. I wonder if he can break the restriction on it...â smiled Yu Mu.
Mo Ling frowned when she heard that. The Seven Slaughtering Fist was something an ancestor had obtained from an ancient ruin a few hundred years ago. It was a buddhist technique, but it also embodied the essence of slaughtering. No one had succeeded in practicing it. On the contrary, many people ran amok instead. As time slowly passed, this technique was gradually sealed as a forbidden technique.
But now, it has shown itself again because of Lin Yun. Yu Mu stroked her chin with anticipation, âThere must be something on this lad that attracted the Seven Slaughtering Fist. Haha, I really wish to see him bring it outâ
Mo Ling fell into deep thoughts because she knew that it wouldnât be easy.
When Lin Yun opened his eyes, his face changed by the scene around him. What was going on? He clearly broke the Violetthunder Demonic Dragonâs restriction, but his mind suddenly exploded before he had time to grab it.
Looking at the crimson jade slip, Lin Yun gradually recalled what it was. Lin Yun remembered that it was this crimson jade slip that destroyed the Violelthunder Demonic Dragon Fistâs jade slip.
Lin Yun looked at the jade slip before him. He didnât dare to move carelessly because he knew that this jade slip was a lot more terrifying. But just when Lin Yun hesitated, the jade slip began to tremble and Lin Yun could hear the sound of slaughtering coming from the surroundings. The Overlord Swordâs sutra began to circulate without Lin Yunâs control and an overbearing sword intent began to leak out.
Suddenly, the crimson radiance disappeared and the jade slip fell into Lin Yunâs hand. When he came in contact with the jade slip, ancient information appeared in his mind once more.
The Seven Slaughtering Fist, slaughtering all living beings in the world.
The introduction was simple, but it was filled with dominance. The introduction was a lot simpler than other first techniques, but Lin Yun knew that this was stronger than the Violetthunder Demonic Dragon Fist. Otherwise, that jade slip wouldnât have shattered.
âIt flew over by itself?â Lin Yun finally figured out what was going on. The Seven Slaughtering Fist chose him, which was probably due to the Overlord Sword. After all, this jade slip showed itself when Lin Yun used the Thunderbolt Crusher.
âSince youâve chosen me, thereâs no reason I should let you go,â smiled Lin Yun as he grabbed onto this jade slip tightly. The jade slip trembled and emitted a crimson radiance. When the jade slip disappeared, a figure appeared in his mind.
âDefeat me first if you want the Seven Slaughtering Fistâ¦â That figure spoke in a hoarse voice before charging at Lin Yun. Boundless killing aura swept out like rumbling lightning that reached a shocking height.
This made Lin Yunâs face change as he brought out his xiantian sword intent and swung his sword out. When the fist and sword clashed together, Lin Yunâs sword aura was actually destroyed after several clashes. In the end, he was sent flying.
Lin Yun cursed inwardly when he landed on the ground. The previous exhaustion was too great and it was difficult for him to use the Thunderbolt Crusher again. But before Lin Yun could think, the blurred figure charged towards him once more like a ferocious beast.
âThis fellowâ¦â Lin Yunâs eyes flashed with rage because this person was too much. Lin Yun began to defend himself against the barrage of punches while he retreated. He was barely holding on.
âThatâs enough!â Lin Yun flew into rage. The Iris Flower lit up as its flowers began to fly out and manifest into silver swords. It was the Iris Sword ArrayâAbsolute Unrivaled.
Chill began to gather in Lin Yunâs eyes as the swords began to turn into a silvery current that gathered together. When the eighty-one swords fell onto the blurred figure, the torrential killing intent was crushed.
âDid I succeed?â Lin Yun muttered with an exhausted voice. If he still couldnât break the restriction, then he could only return empty handed.
When the killing aura was crushed, the blurred figure ultimately exploded. The only thing left in the sky was a floating jade slip. Looking at the jade slip, Lin Yun smiled and grabbed at it. When he held onto the jade slip, the surrounding space began to distort.
When he opened his eyes, he was back in the Library Hall. When he raised his head, Yu Mo was looking at him with a smile as Mo Ling stood beside her. Aside from them, there were also other elders that looked at him with shock.
âYou actually brought out the Seven Slaughtering Fist, the forbidden technique that has been sealed for over a century. Youâve really given me a shock,â smiled Yu Mu.
Looking at the array and all the elders looking at him, Lin Yun smiled bitterly, âDonât tell me that I have to give it back?â
âNah. We were just curious as to who obtained the Seven Slaughtering Fist. You can go ahead and cultivate it. But this buddhist fist technique is extremely weird, so you have to be careful,â smiled Yu Mo as she stroked her chin.
âNot all buddhist fist techniques are about great compassion,â said Lin Yun as he released a dragon and tiger roar. This was a buddhist aura that was mixed with violence, making this fist technique even more terrifying. When everyone saw the phenomenon, they were stunned.
Lin Yun cupped his hands together with a smile, âElder Yu, thank you. Iâll be taking my leave now if thereâs nothing else.
Watching Lin Yun turn around, Yu Muâs eyes lit up. She now knew why the Seven Slaughtering Fist chose Lin Yun.
âLin Yun, donât forget about the Yin Flower competition six days from now,â said Mo Ling just when Lin Yun was about to step out of the hall.
âDonât worry. How can I possibly miss it?â Lin Yunâs laughter echoed out in the hall.
