Divine Brilliance - Chapter 769
Chapter 769: Cause And Effect
Within the world river, Dragon Shadow smiled and looked casually opposite him.
His eyes were filled with a mocking intent, “Is this Qingming, your third disciple Kunming’s Granddaughter? I heard that she is the one within these 5,000 years that has the highest chance of reaching the End Realm? Speaking of which, you really have no choice but to protect her life. However, her Great Yin and Yang Technique is a huge problem for my disciple. So, should I sit still and not do anything or first claim her life?”
Qingxuan instantly retracted his vast True Qi after he helped her. Her face was extremely serious, “She isn’t the only one who can cultivate that. Only this time when your disciple faces the tribulation will he face such a danger, you do not need to worry about it. Longxuan and Huayun’s battle with Aokun is still undecided today and they might die. I can’t let her…”
Seeing Aokun listen impassively and not bother much, Qingxuan scoffed coldly, “Before Zong Shou steps into the Saint Realm, Kunming and I won’t personally attack him! We also won’t plot against him. Are you happy with that?”
Dragon Shadow smiled, “That is a deal! Senior Xi Zi was said to have fallen in your hands.”
To force this person to make such a promise was a huge surprise.
The outer region was huge and even he might not be able to protect him all the time.
Compared to Qingxuan’s cultivation, what was more problematic was his intelligence and traps which one couldn’t defend against.
Qingxuan scoffed with disdain and turned to the side. One couldn’t see any traces of Huayun, Longxuan and Aokun in the World River.
However, when Qingxuan looked out, he easily saw past a pillar and looked into a place millions of times smaller than the Cloud World.
It was a small world that was forcefully opened by the two of them in the space fissure.
Saint Realm Cultivators could easily destroy worlds with their strength. Once war started, it might drag down the surrounding dozens of worlds. No one was willing to affect the Cloud World, which was why they directly opened up a space to fit the three of them in.
Aokun and Huayun were both within.
His eyes flashed as he asked curiously, “Cultivator, what secret path does the Evil Dragon cultivate in, to make you have so much confidence?”
“Oh? What do you mean?” Dragon Shadow rose his brow in confusion.
Qingxuan shook his head slightly, “Why do you need to act dumb? With your personality, if not for you having confidence in the Evil Dragon and him having a chance of winning, you wouldn’t allow him to do this…”
Dragon Shadow was startled. He knew that Qingxuan was trying to probe, but it was also something he was worried about.
He sighed for a long while before he laughed awkwardly, “You really know me! Aokun has a 60% chance of winning. However, whether or not I will regret it or not is another matter!”
When he heard this, Qingxuan was surprised. Dragon Shadow’s words were totally true. The worry in his eyes dissipated and was replaced with curiosity.
Huayun grasped the Dragon Spirit Sword and was able to use Cause and Effect Techniques. His Grand Path itself was not bad. This 60% winning chance was already shocking.
Aokun had only escaped for less than 5 years and only reached Saint Realm two years ago, how did he have 60% confidence? Was it that Destruction Path? That was impossible!
He felt that the battle between Huayun and Aokun was extremely important to him.
He looked closely. A moment later, shock appeared in his eyes, “So, this Evil Dragon is already Intermediate Saint Realm. He used the Dragon Swallowing Technique, right?”
Dragon Shadow didn’t reply, his expression revealing a bitter intent. Qingxuan’s brow frowned deeply.
Intermediate Saint Realm could only allow Aokun to have the ability to fight against Huayun.
Even the Destruction Path as well as the Dragon Swallowing Technique’s cultivation, without time to settle down, he might not be able to battle an Intermediate Saint Realm expert like Huayun.
He still didn’t know what methods Aokun had that could allow Dragon Shadow to recognize him?
※※※※
Aokun stepped foot into the wide void. In front of him was Huayun and behind was Longxuan.
His Spiritual Sense detected Qingxuan’s intent which was sweeping around his body, trying to peak at the secrets within.
Aokun wasn’t bothered, focusing on Huayun and the sword in his hand with a dark and cold gaze.
The body of the sword was pale gold and at the end of the handle, a red pellet was chiseled in.
Huayun didn’t try to hide anything, allowing him to see it fully. He said calmly, “Brother Ao should be really familiar with this Dragon Pellet. It is the Cause and Effect Pellet that belonged to you before you were sealed. Originally, I was just borrowing it to use, once you became my Master’s disciple, I was going to return it to you. Now, it seems like I don’t have to return it anymore…”
He laughed, “Do you know? Bi’er herself even personally help me chisel this Dragon Pellet into the sword. She didn’t want me to face trouble when I’m out in the outer region. Your pellet is extraordinary, actually merging with a bit of Spiritual Sense. A little more and it could become a second soul. If not for Bi’er using her own blood to do so, she wouldn’t have been able to suppress it.”
Aokun was expressionless as he listened on. However, it was impossible to let these few words shake his soul.
A few days ago, he might have cared. However, when he personally looked at these two people today, he knew that the Aobi of yesterday and the Longxuan of today were totally different. He was cold toward them and didn’t care at all.
How was such a woman worth his time and effort?
If there was anything in his chest that bothered him, it was hatred and regret…
Regret that he was blind for half his life to live as such a despicable person!
He hated himself for being affected by love and actually causing his only sister to die!
Huayun still continued to mock and tease, “Brother Ao, do you want to know why Bi’er left you and chose me? It was because she had to flee every day when she was by your side, never having a safe and peaceful day. Ask yourself, what have you given her over the years…”
He was halfway through and Aokun’s brow furrowed as he stared coldly at Huayun.
“Have you finished with your crap?”
Huayun was startled and shocked. Aokun really seemed to not care about the past at all. He didn’t have any reaction at all and there was no fluctuation in his aura.
The Soul Power of the three of them entangled, auras smashing and shaking one another. It stabbed into any hole and didn’t let go of any weakness, causing this region to be covered in black space fissures.
Longxuan was also shocked. She stood behind Aokun with her eyes opened wide as she looked at his back view.
She only felt disbelief. In the past, Aokun was totally in love with her.
She thought that since he came out, even if he hated her badly, he wouldn’t be able to let it go so easily.
Who knew that he would be so cold?
She remembered all those things that happened 8,000 years ago, it was etched in her heart and she was unable to forget it.
Why was Aokun able to slice it away so cleanly?
Thinking about it slightly, Longxuan smiled, “Aokun, do you want to know where Yue’er is? Actually, although she fled with heavy injuries, it is unknown whether or not she is dead. I have asked around and gained some knowledge…”
Yue’er? Aoyue?
Aokun’s pupils constricted into the shape of a needle. His aura finally fluctuated.
He could disregard Longxuan but Aoyue, that brat was really still alive?
Why did his bloodline not feel anything?
Huayun’s eyes flashed, his lips curled, “Brother Ao, isn’t it inappropriate to be distracted at such a time before a battle?”
As he said this, the Dragon Spirit Sword stabbed through the air like a poisonous snake.
It actually had the ability to invert Cause and Effect. There was an Effect and then there was a Cause! The Sword Time had a bit of Extreme Yang Flame, however, it was just the size of a fingernail. It caused the entire world to be blistering like a flame ocean.
Longxuan’s body moved, two ribbons stretched out from her sleeves and started to dance.
A cold energy exploded out, causing the other half of the world to be as ice-cold as hell.
There was no water here, but the area that the Ice Power hit, all Spiritual Energy and all dust particles, even a portion of the Grand Dao laws were frozen!
Ice and fire shouldn’t be able to merge, but at this time it caused each of them to strengthen and benefit one another.
Only now did Aokun wake up, pushing aside those random thoughts. He looked forward and he frowned.
It was indeed problematic since he was on the backfoot. However, it didn’t matter, he only needed to pay a higher price…
He mocked himself. Aobi was truly the person in the world who understood him the most. How could he not care about his own sister?
Behind him, a few Dragon Souls flashed out and roared furiously with vengeful intent.
Aokun reached out with his right hand, his five fingers drawing flexibly in the air and causing the surrounding Spiritual Energy to rage.
Like a human Spirit Master’s seal, it caused the inverted Cause and Effect to revert to normal.
He flashed, forcefully breaking open space and appearing behind Huayun.
“Instant Space Technique, Dragon Swallowing Technique! You swallowed Aoman’s Dragon Pellet?”
Longxuan’s expression changed, her eyes fixed on the few floating dragons behind him.
Her movements didn’t stop, Ice Cold Grand Path, freezing the surrounding space. The two ribbons swept right toward Aokun.
Huayun scoffed, “As expected! A dog without a home would do anything. I was waiting for you to do that!”
The Dragon Spirit Sword Sword Shadow also swept backward, stabbing back at an unbelievable angle. It was like he was really waiting for Aokun there.
Aokun didn’t bother to dodge or avoid, just punching out.
The world in front of him started to break apart. Destruction Grand Path can smash everything!
Fist and sword smashed and half of the world was broken.
However, with the End Realm Cultivators maintaining it, it was instantly recovered.
Huayun stood there and didn’t move. Aokun left the original spot, his body flashed to avoid Longxuan’s ribbons.
Blood flowed from his nose and he looked really tragic and haggard.
