Chapter 858 - Forcibly Getting Through The Stage!
The Sovereign's Ascension
At the peak of the Profound Amber Mountain, the Sacred Allianceâs elders watched Lin Yun shatter the bronze gate.
âThis lad from the Ancient Southern Domain seems to be in trouble,â smiled the Mountain Western Domainâs elder, Chang Hai.
âIndeed. Those three seem to have heard of Lin Yun and plan to gang up on him.â
âWho would dare to underestimate him when he grasped the spiritual sword intent?â
âThis fellow is the one who relied on himself to bring the Ancient Southern Domain to the level of the other domains? If it was in the past, no one would pay attention to the champion of the Ancient Southern Domain.â
âThis is good news. Let him get eliminated first to save others from trouble.â The elders from the three realms naturally didnât stand on Lin Yunâs side. When Qing Tu saw this, he became nervous. If Lin Yun was eliminated, the entire Ancient Southern Domain might be annihilated.
The ancient hall was illuminated with pearls on the ceiling, which made the ceiling look like a boundless starry sky. The atmosphere in the hall was weird as three people looked at Lin Yun with cold eyes.
A brief moment later, the blue-clothed youth from Mountain Western Domain spoke out, âYouâre Lin Yun? There are many rumors about you in Lonesky City. Youâre the first person to grasp the spiritual sword intent before reaching Heavenly Soul Realm in a few thousand years. Iâve heard about your name for a while now.â
When the youth spoke, Lin Yun instantly understood that the three of them were going to gang up on him. With an indifferent expression on his face, Lin Yun responded, âCut the crap. Since the three of you want to gang up on me, tell me your names. I donât cut down nameless people!â
The three of them were briefly stunned because they never expected that Lin Yun would be so decisive.
âHehe. Brother, youâre a really straightforward person. Iâm ranked fifth in the Mountain Western Domain. My name is Shangguan Qinghong!â The blue-clothed youth grinned.
âFourth in the Mound Northern Domain, Guan Lie!â
âThird in the Gauze Eastern Domain, Zhao Yu!â The one who spoke last had an eerie tone filled with killing intent. It turned out that none of the Gauze Eastern Domainâs geniuses were pushovers.
If this was the past, the three of them would be more than enough to sweep through all the geniuses from the Ancient Southern Domain. However, the three of them were acting uncharacteristically cautious and chose to join hands. After all, the rumors about Lin Yun were so great that they had to play it safe.
Shangguan Qinghongâs face turned dark before he spoke with a confident smile, âLin Yun, you have no chance with the three of us working together. Even if your spiritual sword intent is strong, you have no advantage against us. You should give up so we donât have to injure you heavily.â
Lin Yun smiled at their cold gazes, âSorry about the misunderstanding. I donât need to use my spiritual sword intent to deal with the three of you. If you guys canât defeat me within ten moves, you guys will lose your chance to win.â
âWhat arrogance!â Their faces changed as they unleashed their violent origin energy. Drawing their weapons, they instantly surrounded Lin Yun and executed their strongest attacks.
Their attacks were so strong that space was being torn into pieces. The commotion echoed out and roared throughout the hall.
Lin Yun was impressed by their strength. His eyes glowed and he could see all of their individuals strengths. All three of them were slightly stronger than Yu Haotian after he came out of the Dragoncloud Treasury. However, that wasnât enough to defeat him.
âGet lost!â Lin Yun barked. He stood strong as he glowed with azure-purple radiance. At this moment, he was circulating his Azure Firmament Sword Sutra and Iris Sword Sutra at the same time. In the next second, two brilliant sword rays enveloped him as his terrifying sword aura spread out.
Clenching his fist, a dragon manifested around his arm that glowed with azure-purple radiance. Soon after, lightning crackled and a powerful wind roared. His punch was like a sword that contained phenomenons of three different attributes.
Facing Lin Yunâs attack, the trio lasted for a brief moment before their attacks started to crack. Lin Yunâs power was more violent than they had imagined. When their attacks collapsed, their faces became grave and they instantly retreated. When they landed on the ground, they wore grave expressions because they never expected Lin Yunâs origin energy to be so massive.
âThird place, fourth place, and fifth place⦠what a bunch of weaklings!â Lin Yun said coldly as he examined all three of them.
âDamn it! Country bumpkin from the Ancient Southern Domain, thereâs no place for you to be arrogant here!â
âDonât hold back anymore. Letâs go!â The three of their faces became nasty as they brought out their full strength.
âStarbreaking Sword!â Shangguan Qinghong attacked first as the sword in his hand started to buzz. A dazzling cold light shined from the tip of his sword, which made the air in the hall become slow. Shangguan Qinghong had a brilliant sword with powerful intent that even distorted the surrounding water.
Guan Lie wielded a sinister longsword and pushed his cloud intent to the limit. He was nearly at the spiritual sword intent level and it felt like he could tear the sky in two. As for Zhao Yu, he emitted black demonic radiance as his muscles started to squirm. Clearly, the pressure coming from his physique began to grow, which meant that he grasped a powerful physique technique.
âOverlord SwordâTaiâa Slash!â Lin Yun appeared in front of Shangguan Qinghong. Using two of his fingers as a sword, he slashed the air. In the next second, Shangguan Qinghongâs sword aura instantly shattered. Lin Yun didnât stop there and tapped his finger out, piercing Shangguan Qinghongâs chest with sword aura. Throwing up a mouthful of blood, Shangguan Qinghong went flying.
âCloud Berserk Slash!â Just as Lin Yun pushed Shangguan Qinghong back, Guan Lie charged over. He wasnât about to let Lin Yun catch his breath. Then, his blade nearly cut the sky in two as his sword ray tried to devour Lin Yun like a ferocious dragon.
Flicking Divine FingerâHeart Connection, Spiritual Sword!
Lin Yunâs fingers radiated brightly as he unleashed a sword ray to stop the terrifying blade. In the next second, an earth-shattering explosion echoed out in the hall like rumbling lightning.
âH-h-how is this possible?!â Guan Lie was shocked by this scene.
Flicking Divine FingerâGraceful Moment, Absolute Hit!
Lin Yun couldnât be bothered with Guan Lie as he pointed his fingers out. The Iris Flower petals behind him gathered and formed a massive flower array. A sword ray containing wind and lightning energies flew out and pinned Guan Lie to a wall.
âDemonlight Battle Physique!â Zhao Yu roared. As a demonic glow flowed through his body, his body began to swell and emit an immense pressure.
âPitiful tricks!â Lin Yun twisted his body in the air and circulated the Azure Dragon Battle Physique. Nearly a hundred dragon runes squirmed on his body to form an ominous primordial beast. When he turned around, his body had turned into a ferocious dragon.
Reaching out with his palm, an azure dragon claw flew out at Zhao Yuâs body. In the next second, Zhao Yu smashed into the ground and created a huge crater. The intense pain made him howl out in pain as his bones nearly shattered.
In barely five moves, Lin Yun had defeated all three of them. This scene shocked the elders at the top of the Profound Amber Mountain. They were so shocked that they jaws were practically touching the floor. The casual smiles that they once had were now frozen.
Qing Tuâs face also changed because he had witnessed Lin Yunâs new strength. He never expected that Lin Yun would digest all of his harvest from the banquet and become so strong with just two months of seclusion.
âLooks like weâve overestimated you guys. I donât even need to bring out my sword, not to mention my spiritual sword intent,â said Lin Yun as he looked at the losers coldly.
The three of them were in a pathetic state and none of them dared to utter a word. Reluctance filled their eyes because they were famous figures back in their domains. Even worse, they never placed anyone in the Ancient Southern Domain in their eyes. They werenât even afraid of Lin Yun when they heard that Lin Yun grasped the spiritual sword intent. Who would have thought that they would lose with all three of them working together?
âYou won.â A brief moment later, each of them threw keys at Lin Yun. Like Lin Yun, they also obtained a key when they shattered the bronze gate. When Lin Yun combined the four keys, he created a complete key that would unlock the next stage.
