Divine Brilliance - Chapter 487
Chapter 487: A Battle
The black and white colors which covered the vast habitat dissipated.
Within the 7th lecture hall, Yuanfei was calm.
The disciples here were all the cream of the crop. They might not be able to be expressionless in front of the sky collapsing, but they were all able to maintain their composure under dangerous situations.
This was why just now, although they were unable to see anything and their spiritual senses were unable to spread out, no one panicked. Instead, they just sat quietly and waited.
However, when that phenomenon disappeared, it couldn’t stop them from gathering up and discussing.
“What happened just now? First, there was the snow out of nowhere then was the white light. Why are there weird things happening in the common people’s vast habitat?”
“I think it is at least a grade 5 and above magical grade spell. It might even be celestial grade…”
“To be able to swallow spiritual sense, its grade definitely won’t be low!”
“Just now, I felt a little panicky. Did the rest of you feel the same?”
“That light was too strong. It nearly made me blind.”
Yuanfei also felt a piercing pain in his eyes. This 7th lecture hall was instantly covered by the white light. Not only were they unable to see, but it was also really piercing.
If he didn’t close his eyes in time and was hurt by the light, he would not be able to see anything for 3 days.
Around him, that scorching heat was similarly really uncomfortable.
There was also that terrifying jumping feeling in the chest which filled him with trepidation.
He was filled with shock. Who was it that made such a loud commotion? In the next instant, he heard a sound rise up.
“Don’t panic! A sect god realm senior was casting a spiritual formation and slightly lost control. All of you can be at ease. There is no need to panic…”
The moment his words landed, the disciples within the lecture hall were enlightened.
“As expected, so it was a spiritual formation.”
“My common people vast habitat has a god realm expert here…”
“That is expected. Today there are so many people outside, who knows if they have any nefarious intentions towards our common people path. With a god realm expert here, we can prepare for all contingencies.”
“Speaking of which, I wonder how long Jueyu is going to wait. 10 days have passed. Why hasn’t the sect came out to chase him away?”
“How to chase? He comes properly to challenge. In my opinion, even if Tanqiu doesn’t fight, he should at least show himself once.”
The topic slowly shifted away. Yuanfei’s face was filled with cold disdain. If it was him, he definitely wouldn’t hesitate to fight that Jueyu.
Just as he was thinking that way, his expression changed. He only felt a soul suppression cover him from all directions.
The soul suppression wasn’t strong and it wasn’t vast. However, even a grade 7 peak expert like him found it tough to combat.
He felt like his soul was frozen, being suppressed until it stopped, unable to be freely used.
The lecturer in charge was a spirit realm cultivator whose brows furrowed. He looked towards the east, That direction seemed to be where the palace disciples lived in.
At this moment, the disciples who were listening to the lesson whose strength had reached grade 7 all felt something. They all moved towards the source of that soul suppression.
Then, exclamations spread out within the lecture hall.
“It is 1st courtyard A!”
“It seems to be Tanqiu! It seems like he advanced…”
“This is body forming turning into an image. How is that possible? Did he reach grade 8 peak right away?”
“Even if he is grade 8, he shouldn’t have such suppression. What is happening?”
Although they couldn’t see, through their spiritual sense they felt an extremely magnificent presence forming up and taking shape.
An aura that was not cold and not hot, but purely with soul power which formed into a human shape. The features were distinct, that of Zong Shou.
He couldn’t be considered strong, only that of grade 8, but it caused everyone to feel like they were pushed, being silently suppressed.
Within their hearts, they felt some fear and respect. Even their control of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy was being blocked off.
It was like this soul which was about to form into shape should be high above was looking down on them.
Yuanfei felt startled. This 7th lecture hall was at least 200 thousand feet away from that 1st Courtyard A!
The distance was so huge but it still suppressed a grade 7 peak like him to such an extent. There was only one possibility…
That was that his core was far above that of his in terms of quality!
“He hasn’t made noise in a year, and now finally shocking everyone with one move?”
“Even if he hadn’t stepped into grade 8 body forming, to him, grades 8 and 9 won’t be an obstacle. As long as he forms enough heaven talismans it would naturally occur.”
“Who knows how Tanqiu did that…”
“The first seat position he occupies is befitting!”
“I wonder what the foundations of this kid’s life is to be so domineering!”
That spirit realm lecturer’s brows were tightly furrowed like he didn’t understand what was happening in the distance.
As time went on, the body above the courtyard became clearer and clear. Distinct 5 features were there. There was even a ‘robe’ on his body, looking life-like.
Yuanfei’s face was ashen white, a majestic and clear voice suddenly sounded out in the vast habitat, “Tanqiu! I, Jueyu, come over here with so much sincerity to test out the sword and train the sword path. You don’t dare to fight me. What an insult as a swordsman!”
It was Jueyu, who knows what spell he used to pierce through the spiritual formation outside to enter the vast habitat space.
It reverberated and continued. In the next instance, Tanqiu’s soul body laughed out.
“Since that’s the case then let’s have a battle!”
It seemed like he still hadn’t adapted. The voice from the soul body was mixed in with many impure sounds. Only when it reached the latter part of the sentence which it regained clarity.
The entire common people palace was in an uproar. All disciples in the 7th lecture hall were either shocked or filled with anticipation or filled with worry.
Yuanfei frowned in confusion, not knowing whether or not he should be happy or worried.
He was happy that Tanqiu. after so many days, finally came out to fight. But, he was worried that in just a short 10 days that Tanqiu broke through.
Not only could he form a true image to fight, but the strength of his soul power also was not beneath that of grade 8 spirit masters!
Was he going to defeat Jueyu this time?
How was that possible?
He gave himself a self consoling smile. However, his face was ashen white.
※※※※
At this moment Zong Shou had no other thoughts in his mind. He waved his hands in the air and kicked out, only feeling smooth.
He heard that when a spirit master reaches grade 9 and forms a true image, apart from not having physical meat, it wouldn’t be much different from a real person.
After personally experiencing it today, it was the case.
Only his strength was not only a little weaker than same grade martial cultivators.
However, at this moment, his body had a full 20 million kilograms of strength. Compared to middle grade 7 martial cultivators who had 2 heaven veins, he was no weaker.
It was enough to fight this battle!
With a thought, the yin fire sword below suddenly came out of its sheath with a clanging sound before it flew into the air.
He looked downwards at Zong Yuan and Ruoshui. At that moment, Hanxi also flew out of his sleeves, looking upwards with a complicated expression.
What was weird was that the face of this saint fire ant queen could have such detailed expressions.
…Shock, unwillingness, respect, various expressions mixing, clearly shown in its eyes.
Apart from that, there was a bit more worship, a little bit of care. This was something that was not present before.
“Help protect me! Protect my physical body…”
Smiling, Zong Shou casually instructed before driving the sword upwards. With a bright sword light, like that of a meteor, he directly crashed towards the area outside of the vast habitat.
In that instance, be it the low-grade disciples or Hanfang and Fengtian who were high up above the vast habitat, they all looked over.
He chared out of the vast habitat and arrived within the void fissure. He saw that the place was still totally dark. Zong Shou landed along with the sword, right in front of that Jueyu.
In that instance, a vast and tough sword intent spread all about–it was that of a mountain descending, suppressing all sides. It was extremely strong and domineering!
In an instant, all the faces of the grade 6 spirit masters within 200 thousand feet were ashen white. They all shook unstable on their spirit artifacts and all fell off.
Half of the grade 7 cultivators carefully lowered themselves and kept their spiritual artifact, not daring to hang in mid-air. Cold sweat flowed on their faces, their spiritual sense was unable to reach out too.
It was just a soul power of someone of grade 8, but it suppressed them. Close to 300 grade 7 peak experts bowed!
Not only because of this sword intent, but the soul almost naturally suppressed them.
Only those grade 8 and grade 9 ones chose to go up against it. Some furious ones directly used their spiritual sense to fight back.
However, the person in the air was unaffected. That sword intent was still magnificent and brilliant like that of a dragon!
When he landed, the sword directly pointed at Jueyu.
“Common people Tanqiu, brother Jue please show your sword!”
When he stood still, it seems like he had merged into space. It also looked like he was controlling this void fissure. He merged into one with the sword in his hand, giving off a suppressive aura!
When his words landed, all the cultivators waiting were all shocked.
“He is Tanqiu? Why does it seem like he has already formed his body?”
“Rumors said that he hadn’t reached grade 7?”
“Extreme sword intent, as expected! He is on the same level as that Gantian Monster king Zong Shou!”
Within a few breaths, most of their faces were ashen white.
No matter how this battle ended, when Zong Shou descended, the aura which suppressed these thousands of cultivators was enough to cause his reputation to go to another level.
Common people’s path’s reputation not only didn’t fall but it also indeed produced loads of talents!
“You are Tanqiu?”
Jueyu sized up Zong Shou, only feeling that although his features were distinct, but surprisingly no matter how he tried to remember it, he couldn’t. He also couldn’t form up some thoughts.
He decided to just give up, focusing only on the sword in his hand. That strong sword intent was something that he could only barely go up against now.
How strong!
