Chapter 451 - Sword named Flower Burial
The Sovereign's Ascension
Sensing Lin Yunâs fighting spirit, Heartcliff sneered, âYouâre really confident. Arenât you afraid of death?â
âThe next move is a technique created and perfected by me over the past three years. Three years ago, it wasnât a mature move, so Iâve never used it in public. I was initially saving it for Qin Yu, but you can have a taste of it. This move is called Astral Devour.â Heartcliff clenched his fist and the ferocious aura around him surged. He was like a bright star in the darkness and his shocking aura affected all the spectators.
Even the Violet Palace Realm experts in the spectator seats went silent because not even some of them were confident of taking this move.
âHow terrifyingâ¦â
âThis is the punch he worked on for the past three years?â The Sword Firmament Pavilionâs party wore a grave expression, including Xin Yan.
âHmph, Heartcliff used this fist to kill a Violet Palace Realm wandering cultivator. I donât believe that sword slave can take it!â Wen Yanbo looked excited. It was as if he could see Lin Yun being killed by this attack.
Those who made it into the best eight frowned their brows because they could sense how powerful this attack was. They could tell that Heartcliff devoted his last three years into perfecting this attack. As Heartcliff continued to accumulate his attack, Lin Yun was under unprecedented pressure. However, there was no anxiety in his heart.
His eyes blazed with fighting spirit and his nearly completed xiantian sword intent buzzed crazily. Along with a radiating brilliance from the Flower Burial Sword, his sword intent was shining out with its own brilliance in the darkness.
âAquaselenic SwordâHeavenly Cloud Shatter!â Lin Yun also brought out the self-created tenth move of the Aquaselenic Sword. His aura climbed to its pinnacle and the domineering aura emitted from him formed a tornado that swept away the stone fragments on the stage.
The sword intent coming from the aura was terrifying and it even created a phenomenon. Lightning was flickering in the sky, which lit up Lin Yunâs face. This was an attack that could shatter heaven and only his sword was eternal.
At the same time, the crimson fist exploded. Two attacks that could easily kill an ordinary Violet Palace Realm cultivator clashed on the stage, making it feel as though heaven and earth were shaking. With the Dragon Gate Plaza in the center, the seven other stages were trembling violently with cracks spreading out on them.
âCrap!â The judgeâs face changed as he wanted to block the shockwaves.
But Emperor Qin suddenly spoke up, âWhere are the Divine Guards?â
âHere!â The Divine Guardsâ elites appeared from the surroundings as they blocked the shockwaves. They were all only in the eighth stage of the Profound Martial Realm, but if all of them acted at the same time, even Violet Palace Realm cultivators would have to run from them.
However, the shockwaves that swept out domineeringly had even caused the elites to throw up blood. The last shockwave was blocked by the judge personally because it passed the elites. Otherwise, no one knew how many spectators would be killed from the shockwave.
This made everyoneâs faces turn pale. The power from the two attacks had exceeded everyoneâs imagination. The Divine Guardsâ elites had faced the shockwave. However, if they faced the attack itself, there was no question that all of them would have died.
The thought of this made everyone tremble in fear. After all, ordinary Violet Palace Realm cultivators couldnât even accomplish something like this!
The clash continued on the stage and the two were bearing unparalleled rebound force. The force they had to bear was a lot stronger than the shockwaves that were released into the surroundings.
With a rumbling explosion, Lin Yun and Heartcliff both flew out. Lin Yun landed on a stage, which shattered the stage into pieces as his body was deeply planted into the stage. On the other side, Heartcliffâs Dracophant War Armor was shattered and his body was covered in wounds. He was sent flying into another stage and was buried in that one.
No one knew if they were still alive and everyone could feel a buzz in their minds. No one had expected that the battle would be so intense. The silence lasted for a long while as everyone looked at the two piles of stones in fear. They had no idea who had won.
âHoly shit, they actually created those attacks by themselves?â
âIndeed, Iâve never seen those two attacks in the Dracophant War Fist or the Aquaselenic Sword.â
âBut Lin Yunâs attack seemed to be slightly stronger in the clash.â
âI canât say for sure. Lin Yunâs sword is indeed stronger, but his physique isnât as strong as Heartcliffâs. He might not be able to bear the shockwaves.â
âLetâs wait for them to get up.â The audience was shocked, but many Violet Palace Realm cultivators had seen the results clearly.
âHmmm?â Many people were shocked because there was a slight tremble on the ground.
Suddenly, the stones blew apart and Heartcliff stood up with a pale face. He didnât care about his injuries and he looked at the other pile of stones while bursting out with laughter, âI still won!â
But before he could enjoy his win, the other pile of stones were blown apart by a sword. This made Heartcliffâs face change as he threw a punch at the sword. However, he threw up a mouthful of blood when he tried to attack and staggered on the stage.
A golden streak flew out from the pile of stones, holding onto the sword. With the sword pointed at the center of Heartcliffâs forehead, a faint announced, âYou lost.â
When the golden light slowly dissipated, Lin Yunâs figure was revealed.
âNo, this canât be! How can I possibly lose?!â Heartcliff looked at Lin Yun with disbelief and he threw out a punch, wanting to knock the sword away. But before he could even attack, a crimson line slowly ran across his head and his face was severed into two.
No matter how quick a punch was, could it be faster than a sword that was already aimed at the forehead? Did Heartcliff really think that Lin Yun didnât dare to kill him? In the end, he could regret his actions in the afterlife.
Heartcliffâs corpse collapsed onto the ground and Lin Yun sheathed his sword. Afterwards, he looked around at the stage.
