Chapter 228: Chapter 157: The Power of the Destiny Sword Unleashed, Surge in Qi Movement Power! _2

Translator: 549690339

In the blink of an eye, the terror-bound blade energy shot straight up into the clouds.

A scarlet demon blade, in a flash, enveloped his figure.

“Man and blade as one, wielding blade against man! Yu Hua is risking it all!” Someone sighed.

“Of course! The longer he drags on, the more humiliating it is. Struggling for so long against a mere maid, who could tolerate such a thing! Moreover, the current Sect Master of the Demon Cult is standing behind him!”

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the figure of the demonic blade in front of her and instantly felt locked by a powerful aura, as if the air around her had frozen.

Her expression unchanged, she lightly tossed out the long sword in her hand.

“Go!” She yelled softly.

In a split second…

The long sword, like a roaming dragon, pierced through the successive void, instantly arriving before Yu Hua.

Clink

A deafening sound of metal striking metal echoed throughout the entire island.

Yu Hua’s newly formed demon blade illusion was shattered instantly, the long blade in his hands also splintered and shot out everywhere, his body flung backwards.

A large wound visibly spanned the entirety of his abdomen, from front to back.

Shu Xiaoxiao raised her hand, gesturing for the long sword to return. It drew an arc in the air as it fell back into her grasp, still purely white as snow.

“Life-bound Sword!” Yu Hua fell to the ground, slowly uttering these three words.

“Indeed!” Shu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly before turning to leave.

Yu Hua clutched his abdomen, hastily sitting cross-legged, stabilizing his internal Spiritual Sea.

Shu Xiaoxiao’s strike was headed straight for his Spiritual Sea.

If the Sect Master weren’t by his side, a second strike from her would surely have meant his death!

Ye Chanxi shot him a brief glance: “Heal your wounds properly. Pearl Cave is no place for you!”

“Yes, Sect Master!”

Yu Hua quickly bowed his head in response.

His heart being released from tension, he let out a sigh of relief.

It seems the Sect Master is in a good mood today, fortunately not blaming him.

If it were the usual circumstance, having lost to a mere maid, tarnishing the reputation of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he would definitely face severe punishment.

Seeing this unexpected scene, someone in the crowd exclaimed, “What is a Life-bound Sword?”

Then, an individual next to him explained, “Splitting the divine soul, merging it with essence blood, cultivating both life and self, it is known as the Life-bound Sword. It is unparalleled in terms of offensive capabilities at the same cultivation level, but it is also exceptionally dangerous. If the sword is damaged, at minimum, your cultivation foundation will be injured. At worst, you will die on the spot.”

“I see!” The individual nodded in understanding, “So, in that sense, Yu Hua’s loss is not unjustified?”

“It’s not!” The individual next to him nodded slightly.

Then added, “As I see it, the swordsmanship talent of Jiang Yuan’s maid is unparalleled, the deeper insight she has into swordsmanship, the stronger and sturdier the Life-bound Sword will be. This path of cultivation suits individuals with transcendent swordsmanship talent!”

“She was able to shatter Yu Hua’s long blade with a single sword strike, closely followed by almost destroying his field of elixir, which shows it is no ordinary power!”

Someone nodded in agreement, “It is as you explained!”

On the other side…

Shu Xiaoxiao came to Jiang Yuan’s side.

“Young Master, mission accomplished!”

Jiang Yuan smiled, praising, “Your performance was commendable!”

Then, he lightly stroked her hair.

Seeing this scene, the crowd showed faces of envy.

“Such a powerful heaven genius is willing to be his maid, how infuriating!”

“Indeed! it is infuriating! What makes him so special? Is it his handsome looks?”

At this moment, someone said, “In your opinion, Jiang Yuan’s maid already has such formidable strength, how strong can he be?”

“Hard to say!” Someone else shook their head slowly, “My initial assumption was that Jiang Yuan was probably at the fourth or fifth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm since half a year ago he was merely at the third level of the Spiritual Sea Realm. But looking at his maid’s strength now, his own strength is hard to guess!”

Another person said, “What’s so hard to guess about that, just because his maid is strong doesn’t mean he is! I’d say he’s probably around the fifth level!”

The individual laughed, “Why don’t you go challenge Jiang Yuan to show us?”

They shook their head vigorously.

They wouldn’t commit such a foolish act.

There’s no real advantage to winning, and getting hurt would put them at a disadvantage before entering Pearl Cave.

If they lose, it would be even worse!

Just like Yu Hua, who, with some good luck, was merely heavily injured, but Pearl Cave was now beyond his reach.

If they were unlucky, a single sword strike could destroy their Spiritual Sea.

From then on, their cultivation path would be completely ruined!

Who would be willing to do such a stupid thing!

Ye Chanxi looked at Jiang Yuan, then turned to leave with Mu Qianru.

Seeing her departing figure, Lu Qingshan and Liu Xuan relieved their breaths.

Then, Liu Xuan quietly said to Lu Qingshan, “Sect Leader Lu, can you tell me what cultivation level your disciple, Jiang Yuan, has achieved? Can you disclose a bit?”

Lu Qingshan slowly shook his head, “I don’t know either!”

“You don’t know?”

“Hmm, I don’t know!”

Seeing the tight-lipped look on Lu Qingshan’s face, he ultimately gave up asking further.

He let out a sigh, “Jiang Yuan’s maid is comparable to the current top heaven genius of my Dao Derivation Sect, it’s really unbearable comparing ourselves to others!”

Lu Qingshan, hearing his grumbling, chose to stay silent and smile instead.

His mood also became extremely invigorated.

With the end of this event, everyone’s attention was no longer focused on them, silently waiting for the opening of the Pearl Cave.

However, the name Jiang Yuan was deeply etched into their minds due to Shu Xiaoxiao’s performance.

If his maid, who seemed so young on the surface, was so strong, what about him?

A trace of curiosity arose in their hearts.

No one continued to underestimate him because of his age anymore.

Elsewhere.

Ye Chanxi found a spot with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and swept her hand.

The force that originally occupied this area was instantly swept dozens of feet away.

They all picked themselves up off the ground and turned to leave, not daring to utter another word.

Nobody wanted to incur her wrath, especially when Yu Hua from Heavenly Demon Sect had just lost to a maid. Who knew what this great cultivator from Dharma Realm was thinking?

If they angered her and it was misdirected at them, wouldn’t that be unfair?

Ye Chanxi tossed her hand, and a palace appeared next to the lake.

Then she led Mu Qianru into the palace.

Upon closing the door, a curious expression appeared on her face.

“Once we’re inside, try to probe Jiang Yuan’s strength at some point. I’m really curious about his capabilities!”

“Alright!” Mu Qianru nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile

Jiang Yuan looked at his Personal Dashboard with great satisfaction in his heart.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Realm]: Spiritual Sea Realm, Eightfold

[Innate Luck]: Ancient Double Pupils (Gold) Five Elements Holy Body (Purple) Divine Soul Fetal Breath (Purple) Everlasting Longevity (Purple) Human Emperor Bloodline (Purple) Unprecedented Intelligence (Purple) Dragon Elephant Overlord Body (Purple) Gluttonous Belly (Purple) Godly Archer (Blue)

[Luck Power]: 2745 strands

[Luck Seeds]: None

[Fate Opportunity]: Can be activated (Can consume Luck Power to activate, the more consumed, the better the opportunity discovered. The greater the opportunity, the longer the cooldown.)

This time, before entering the Pearl Cave, his gains were already satisfying.

His Luck Power experienced a surge under these circumstances, jumping from just over 2000 strands to an increase of over 700 strands here.

Moreover, many people on this island are surrounded by Golden Miasma.

The distance was too great for him to absorb it.

But as long as he was here, there would eventually be an opportunity.

He wasn’t in a rush!

At this time, he hoped that the opening of the Pearl Cave could be postponed for a few more days.

Here, heaven geniuses gathered.

With each passing day, the Luck Power they gathered would allow him to increase by several dozen strands per day.

Moreover, this didn’t include the Luck Power he and Shu Xiaoxiao were able to pool together every day.

He was starting to look forward to upgrading his Purple Innate Luck Energy.

He wondered, how many strands of Luck Power would it take to upgrade Purple to Gold?

He had experienced the power of gold Luck Power, which was far superior to the effect of purple.

It could be described as defying the heavens!

All of a sudden.

Roar!

A series of dragon roars rolled in from the horizon.

Hearing this noise immediately caught everyone’s attention.

In the distant sky.

Eight Sea Dragons led the way, pulling a huge battleship behind them.

The entire battleship was golden, shining brilliantly in the sunlight and emitting ten thousand rays of golden light.

Rows of golden flags fluttered ferociously. The word ‘Zhou’ waved in the wind.

“The Imperial Family has also arrived, with the intimidation of this great sun class battleship, there’s no need to worry about the Demon Tribe of the East Sea!” someone whispered.

Then, another person sighed with a pat of his palm, “Eight Sea Dragons pulling a battleship, worthy of the Imperial Family, truly imposing! This move is quite a slap in the face of the Demon Tribe of the East Sea!”

“True! Look at the faces of the Demon Tribe of the East Sea, it’s gotten quite ugly suddenly!”
