Chapter 910 - Flame Barrier
The Sovereign's Ascension
Seeing Lin Yunâs fighting spirit, Chen Xuanâs heart sank. Clearly, Lin Yun was underestimating his enemies. Even if Lin Yun faced them one on one, Chen Xuan didnât think that Lin Yun had any hopes of defeating Leng Yue or Pei Yu.
After all, they were both in the first soul Heavenly Soul Realm. Even if Lin Yun had reached the Heavenly Soul Realm, there was still a huge gap in their cultivation.
âSo arrogant despite facing death. Youâre really ignorant!â
âI want to see what strength you have to be so arrogant!â Pei Yu and Leng Yue sneered with mockery on their faces. In their eyes, Lin Yun was too arrogant to say those words. Circulating their aura oceans to the limit, a terrifying aura came crashing down on Lin Yun.
Lin Yunâs eyes flashed sharply as the Flower Burial Sword started trembling violently; it longed for battle. Sensing Flower Burialâs fighting spirits, Lin Yun was surprised. In his mind, Pei Yu and Leng Yue werenât qualified to receive his sword. After all, he didnât even draw his sword when facing Chen Qiong and Xian Yunzhen. Why would he need to use his sword against these clowns?
Then again, a dao artifact ultimately needed to taste blood. It was just a simple matter of swinging one sword. Lin Yun quickly made his decision.
âHaha! Was that brat scared silly? You havenât even seen how terrifying a first soul Heavenly Soul Realm expert can be. Itâs too late for you to escape!â Seeing that Lin Yun wasnât moving after they released their aura, Pei Yu and Leng Yue both started to laugh. After all, Lin Yun was just an ant in their eyes.
âWatch out!â yelled Chen Xuan.
Despite Chen Xuanâs warning, Lin Yun took a step forward and summoned Flower Burial from the sword box. The moment he held it, he instantly executed Lightning Cocoon.
Pouring his origin energy into his sword, a boundless sword ray exploded and dyed the entire sky azure-purple. With his brilliant sword ray crashing down, Pei Yu and Leng Yueâs aura was torn apart like paper.
Pei Yu and Leng Yue squinted their eyes with fear flashing as they quickly retreated. The sword ray was too dazzling and everything had settled down by the time Chen Xuan opened his eyes. Pei Yu and Leng Yue panicked as they quickly checked their bodies for injuries.
After all, Lin Yunâs sword was too terrifying and had completely intimidated them. After they were done checking their bodies for injuries, Leng Yue sneered because he didnât find anything. âCut the act. All that effort just for a little bit of light!â
âYouâre really courageous. How dare you try to scare us when youâre on the brink of death. Thereâs no meaning to thisâ¦â Pei Yu folded his arms together and stared at Lin Yun coldly. This time, however, there was a trace of fear in his eyes. But when he saw Lin Yun sheathing his sword, he started to mock Lin Yun. âThe battle hasnât ended yet. Isnât it a little too early for you to sheath your sword? Do you really think that weâll let you go?â
âIâm sorry, but the two of you are already dead. After all, I only need one sword to kill you,â said Lin Yun. The moment he was done speaking, a purple lightning cocoon started to take form in their mind.
âWhat the hell are you talking about? You must be insanââ Suddenly both of their faces changed and they could no longer finish their sentence.
When Lin Yun finished sheathing his sword, Pei Yu and Leng Yueâs heads blew up as their corpses fell to the ground. They would never know how they died.
âT-t-thisâ¦â Meanwhile, Chen Xuan was completely dumbfounded. What just happened? This scene had completely gone against common sense. He couldnât describe the shock he was feeling right now because everything happened too quickly. Just how did Lin Yun do this?
There were many cultivators heading towards the Glorysun Spirit who were attracted by the sword ray. So they had witnessed an unbelievable scene too. The shock that they felt was even greater than Chen Xuanâs shock.
âWho the hell is that guy? Isnât he a little too strong to kill both of those first soul Heavenly Soul Realms when heâs only a Heavenly Soul Realm?â
âWait, is that the same Lin Yun who blackmailed two geniuses from the higher realms?â
âAzure clothes, sword, and a sword box. That must be him! Thatâs the Profound Amber Realmâs Lin Yun!â
âIsnât he a little too terrifying to be from the lower realms? I didnât believe the rumors, but that sword proved me wrong.â The shock of witnessing Lin Yun kill Pei Yu and Leng Yue with a sword had astounded everyone. In fact, they forgot to continue their journey towards the phenomena.
At this moment, several figures flew over as they gathered around Chen Xuan and Lin Yun. It was Qin Feng and Yan Kui. They were also rushing towards the Glorysun Spirit when they saw Lin Yun and Chen Xuan.
âYouâre injured?â Qin Feng frowned after checking on Chen Xuanâs injuries. They came late so they didnât witness the scene of Lin Yun killing Pei Yu and Leng Yue. More accurately, they were attracted by the sword ray unleashed by Lin Yun, but they didnât see what happened.
Chen Xuan smiled bitterly because he didnât know where to start. He knew that Qin Feng and Yan Kui wouldnât believe it even if he told them what just happened.
But when Chen Xuan saw that Lin Yun had no intentions to hide, he explained everything that happened. When Qin Feng and Yan Kui heard what happened, they quickly turned to look at Lin Yun with shock.
âIs what he said real?â Yan Kui and Qin Feng still couldnât believe it. They knew that Lin Yun was strong, but not this strong. If they knew, they wouldnât have dared to travel with Lin Yun.
Lin Yun responded by nodding his head. He had no intentions of hiding. After all, he didnât even place the geniuses from higher realms in his eyes, not to mention small fries like Pei Yu and Leng Yue. He had undergone a total transformation when he reached the Heavenly Soul Realm, like a dragon returning to the ocean.
After receiving Lin Yunâs confirmation, Qin Feng and Yan Kui started examining Lin Yun with deep shock. As of right now, the aura coming from Lin Yun was bright like a sun.
âGreater Heavenly Soul Realm?!â Yan Kui suddenly exclaimed with surprise. Only now did everyone realize that Lin Yun spent a few days to reach the greater Heavenly Soul Realm. Wasnât his speed a little too fast? Just what did he obtain in the Flamefeather City?
âWe shouldnât delay any longer. We need to head for the Glorysun Spirit,â said Chen Xuan after taking a deep breath. He couldnât be bothered with his injuries right now.
They werenât far from the Glorysun Spirit, so it only took an hour to travel. In the distance, they saw a massive gold barrier enveloped in flames. The entire barrier had various phenomena appearing on its surface.
They werenât real, but it still left everyone shocked. Several bold geniuses wanted to break through the barrier, but they couldnât bear the high temperature the moment they got close.
Suddenly, a flock of flaming birds flew down and struck people that were too close. Instantly, they were incinerated, preventing everyone else from approaching.
âSenior brother.â Right at this moment, Liu Yun walked over.
When Chen Xuan saw Liu Yun walking over, he had joy in his pupils. He knew that one of them would definitely have a great harvest in the Flamefeather City if they could survive. Liu Yun was a rising star of their Highcloud Realm who grasped the spiritual sword intent before going through the tribulation. He practically represented the hopes of the Highcloud Realm. In Chen Xuanâs heart, Liu Yun might even be able to grow into another Lin Yun. After all, he had just experienced the terror of a swordsman.
âSenior brother, I had a decent harvest this time,â chuckled Lin Yun while he peeked at Lin Yun. He was confident that Lin Yun couldnât imagine that he had obtained a 3,000 year old Blood Sun Fruit.
âLetâs talk about it later,â said Chen Xuan. There were many people in the surroundings, so it was best if Liu Yun didnât reveal his harvest.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Liu Yun nodded. He wasnât in a rush because the fruit would help him go through the tribulation. At that time, everyone would know about it.
Sensing Liu Yunâs gaze, Lin Yun turned his head over and locked eyes with Liu Yun. When Liu Yun saw Lin Yun looking at him, he gave a smile that completely baffled Lin Yun. Lin Yun had no idea why Liu Yun looked so prideful all of a sudden.
Lin Yun turned his attention back to the barrier because he couldnât be bothered with such a small matter. Simultaneously, the geniuses from the higher realms were also trying to find a solution to deal with the barrier. With the barrier around, geniuses from the higher realms wouldnât dare to act so carelessly.
Lin Yun looked at the barrier and fell into deep thoughts. The barrier shouldnât be fatal to geniuses from higher realms. The reason why they didnât approach must be because they were waiting for someone.
As time gradually passed, more geniuses arrived at the barrier.
âMo Han is here!â A figure wielding a halberd appeared just when the atmosphere was getting tense. Since Mo Han was here, Feng Wuji, Shi Feng, and Chen An shouldnât be far away. These four geniuses were the main competitors for the Glorysun Spirit since they all owned a dao artifact.
Naturally, Mo Hanâs arrival instantly drew everyoneâs attention.
