Chapter 540: Mei Haiyun Was Defeated

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘How did Chu Yunfan do it?!’ Many people were asking this question in their hearts. They had no clue as Chu Yunfan’s body was wrapped in shockwaves that distorted all the light rays. It was impossible to see how he did it.

“You can actually withstand my attack!” Mei Haiyun said with his eyes wide open. “This is impossible. My Five Elemental Swords have been honed to the highest level. Even people of the same level can’t withstand my attack, let alone someone whose cultivation level is even lower than mine!”

Mei Haiyun had absolute confidence in his attack. It was impossible for Chu Yunfan to withstand it.

“Thanks to you, my World Overlord technique has officially entered the Perfection Stage,” Chu Yunfan said calmly. That’s right. At the crucial moment, Chu Yunfan’s Earth Sword had entered the Perfection Stage. That was why he was able to withstand Mei Haiyun’s sword without sustaining any injuries.

However, even if his Earth Sword had not broken through, Mei Haiyun would not have been able to hurt him. At most, it would only make him a little embarrassed.

There was no doubt about the strength of Chu Yunfan’s Imperial Physique. It was not an existence that ordinary people could compare to. The fact that he dared to receive Han Bing’s attack with his bare hands was proof of that.

“You claim that this attack of yours has been honed to the highest level. Hahaha! How laughable. Even an outsider like me can understand its principle, yet you don’t.

“The five elements are one. Your technique might look powerful, but it’s, in fact, a huge mistake. The true highest level should be the fusion of the five elements!” Chu Yunfan said loudly.

“If I’m not mistaken, this sword technique of yours must have come from an incomplete sword manual, right? An incomplete manual has allowed you to reach such an extent. That’s already pretty good.”

Chu Yunfan spoke with absolute certainty because he had once glimpsed this kind of sword technique in the memories of the Alchemy Emperor. Although the level had decreased by a lot, the principles and the Martial Dao contained within it had not changed.

The five elements unified as one was the highest realm. When separated, although they seemed quite powerful, it was actually a fork in the road.

“I’ve actually taken the wrong path!” Mei Haiyun could not control the look of shock that fell over his face.

Mei Haiyun knew that the five elemental swords technique he was practicing was actually not a martial skill developed by the current human society. It was a martial skill from the Ancient Zenith Civilization. This martial skill had been brought back by his family from one of the ruins. It was a very high-leveled sword technique.

However, since they obtained it, very few people have been able to master it. Generally speaking, everyone could only practice one of the techniques at a time. Those who could practice two were already the best among them.

The Meis had always suspected that this was actually a sword formation. The five swords should be cultivated separately to form one sword formation. When they joined forces, the power would naturally be endless.

And the Meis had always cultivated in this manner. Because they had obtained the incomplete manual in their early years, they’ve had to supplement their cultivation methods and usage methods bit by bit over the years.

When the Meis’ five elemental swords formation made its move, it was naturally invincible. With five people working together, even if the opponent was an Innate expert, they would still dare to go against them.

Only after Mei Haiyun appeared that someone had been able to complete the five elemental swords by himself. According to the original sword manual, this technique that was originally used by one person was finally realized by Mei Haiyun.

Mei Haiyun was able to execute the five elemental sword formation on his own. Ever since he started his cultivation, he had been invincible. Even Dong Fanghao, who had always been in constant competition with him, had been defeated by this move.

Its power was so great that no one doubted that it was the correct path. Mei Haiyun had never doubted that there was anything wrong with his cultivation method.

But now that Chu Yunfan had mentioned it, Mei Haiyun finally realized that it was very likely that he, no, it should be said that the entire Mei family, had been wrong. The union of the five elements was the ultimate Martial Dao.

It was not that they had never made such a guess, but there was no possibility of it being realized. The Meis had obtained the five elemental swords over a hundred years ago, and all that time, only Mei Haiyun had been able to master all five sword techniques. It was already considered very powerful for anyone to be able to cultivate even one of these techniques.

Therefore, although there had always been such a guess, it had never been put into practice.

And now, Chu Yunfan was undoubtedly speaking the truth.

If Mei Haiyun could combine the five elements into one, he believed that he would definitely be able to severely injure Chu Yunfan who was standing in front of him.

At this time, Chu Yunfan brandished the Ju Que in his hand and said, “Do you think that my True Energy is gradually weakening because my strength is inferior to yours? You’re wrong. That’s just a tactic I used to stall for time.”

Boom!

The True Energy in Chu Yunfan’s body exploded, and he instantly recovered to his peak. No, he had surpassed his peak. Previously, Chu Yunfan had not been so terrifying.

“Now, today’s battle for the inner core is about to end,” Chu Yunfan said, “Next, I’ll let you taste the true power of my Earth Sword.”

Chu Yunfan sneered, and the Ju Que suddenly burst out with endless brilliance. Countless True Energy burst out and chopped down toward Mei Haiyun’s direction.

Zzt!

The entire air seemed to have been torn and slashed apart.

Mei Haiyun’s expression suddenly became serious because he realized that if Chu Yunfan attacked again, the power would be completely different from before. Although there was only a small difference between the Impeccable Stage and the Perfection Stage, the difference in strength was like the difference between Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan truly displayed the full power of the Earth Sword. A fierce wind rose, carrying with it terrifying energy. In the blink of an eye, it arrived before Mei Haiyun.

Mei Haiyun hurriedly raised his sword to block it. His weapon went up to meet the sword.

Boom!

An incomparably loud explosion went off. The two swords collided in mid-air. Just as everyone thought that they would end up like before, something changed—a huge change.

Mei Haiyun let out a muffled groan as he hastily retreated. He immediately retreated out of the area where he and Chu Yunfan had exchanged blows. With every step he took, he left behind heavy footprints on the ground.

At this moment, everyone noticed that Mei Haiyun’s arm was trembling slightly. After receiving Chu Yunfan’s attack, he had clearly suffered a great loss.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan took a quick step. Like a god, he stepped forward and arrived right in front of Mei Haiyun. He was not about to spare anyone.

“Earth Sword!”

Chu Yunfan’s second slash was even more terrifying than the previous one. This time, Mei Haiyun could no longer withstand it. With a miserable cry, he was sent flying backward. After crashing heavily to the ground, he could no longer get up.

Hemei Haiyun was instantly eliminated!
