Chapter 788 - 131: New Grudges and Old Hatreds

Celestial Essence Immortal City, its red walls and golden tiles reflecting a rich spiritual glow under the sunlight.

Yet at this moment, the gaze of all cultivators within the city was fixed beyond the towering city walls, firmly locked onto the horizon outside the city.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch’s magical combat is a rare spectacle in One Realm.

One must know that Nascent Soul True Monarchs are already scarce in number, each an illustrious figure high above.

They usually preside over their sects or secret realms, and unless it involves tremendous interests or an irreconcilable enmity, they would never easily engage in a life-and-death battle.

At this moment, two contrasting spiritual glows collided in the sky, wherever they passed, clouds shattered, heaven and earth changed color, even the surrounding Spiritual Qi transformed into a violent turbulent flow, enough to make Golden Core cultivators shudder to their divine soul.

"Buzz——"

A clear sword cry pierced through the sky, as if echoing from ancient times.

Cangfeng True Monarch’s sword intent soared, the previously restrained aura suddenly burst outward, transforming into a silver-white sword pillar traversing heaven and earth, dyeing half the sky a piercing frost color.

He made a virtual grip with his right hand, and a long sword, entirely gold-plated with the pattern of nine suns suspended mid-air engraved on the sword body, suddenly manifested. Even before the blade opened, a heat wave that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas swept in all directions, warping the very air.

"Slash!"

Cangfeng True Monarch shouted furiously, the sound waves carrying sword intent made the walls of the immortal city shiver slightly.

He swung the sword, and the gold-plated long sword transformed into a genuine great sun, descending with imposing heavens’ might, leaving a pitch-black fracture in space, where fine spiritual lights flowed at the edges.

Before the sword’s momentum arrived, the mountain rocks on the ground disintegrated prematurely, turning into flying dust all over, as if heaven and earth were about to be cleaved apart by this sword.

On the observation platform at the highest point of the immortal city, several Nascent Soul True Monarchs hidden in the shadows had their pupils constrict sharply.

One couldn’t help but exclaim in a voice full of shock, "That’s the first-grade magical treasure—the Great Sun Golden Brilliance Magic Sword!"

"It’s said this sword was forged by the founding patriarch of Cangyuan Holy Land using the core of the nine suns, containing the true fire of the great sun and Gengjin sword intent, its power is endless, I never thought I’d witness its might today!"

Another person secretly sighed, staring intently at the spiritual glow circulating around Cangfeng True Monarch.

"Cangyuan Holy Land is truly a venerable force with tens of thousands of years of inheritance, its depth immeasurable."

"Look at Cangfeng True Monarch’s magical power, refined to a tangible essence, the sword momentum incredibly sharp."

"To unleash the power of a first-grade magical treasure to such an extent, ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivators might not even withstand the aftershock of the sword."

Facing a sword capable of destroying heaven and earth, Yuanbao True Monarch remained with a silly grin.

His figure flickered, and a layer of grayish spiritual glow appeared around him.

Within the glow, countless tiny runes flowed, as if containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth’s operations.

Seeing the Great Sun Golden Brilliance Magic Sword about to strike, he suddenly raised his hand, five fingers forming a claw, gently grasping at the void.

"Steal the heavens and change the sun, reverse space and time!"

Yuanbao True Monarch’s voice carried an eerie rhythm, seemingly capable of bewitching the Heaven and Earth Laws.

The moment the words fell, the space before him suddenly rippled like a lake when a stone is thrown in.

The gilded sword shadow traversing heaven and earth, upon touching the ripples, began to flow backward like a tide.

The originally shattered clouds re-coalesced; the torn space slowly healed.

Even the blazing heat waves vanished without a trace.

In just an instant, the violent phenomena above the sky calmed.

As if that shocking sword had never appeared.

Only the slightly pale face of Cangfeng True Monarch evidenced that the previous strike was consuming.

The cultivators within the immortal city were completely in an uproar.

The Nascent Soul True Monarchs on the observation platform also showed expressions of disbelief.

"What is that divine ability? Can it really reverse time and space and dissipate the attack of a first-grade magical treasure?" Someone murmured, a tone full of dread.

"No wonder Yuanbao True Monarch could plunder the ancestral tombs of the five major forces and still live freely till now."

"Turns out he has such defying powers!"

"Such divine ability, it might already touch the core of the Spatial Laws," another person remarked solemnly.

"Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, no matter late-stage powerful ones, may not achieve this step."

"This Yuanbao True Monarch’s trump cards are far more than we imagined."

His gaze toward Yuanbao True Monarch held more gravity.

While all cultivators were drawn to the battle in the firmament, passionately discussing.

At the east gate of the immortal city, Li Ji’an transmitted to True Monarch Qingxiao: "True Monarch, lingering here is not advisable, let us quickly return to Qinglan Sect."

True Monarch Qingxiao instinctively frowned, somewhat reluctant to miss such a grand battle before her eyes. Having followed her master in cultivation since childhood, she lacked practical experience in magical combat, intending to observe and learn.

Simultaneously, she felt Li Ji’an was overly cautious.

The central region of Yuan Province is the strictest in order of One Realm.

Forces able to establish here are either wealthy or distinguished, with Nascent Soul True Monarchs as the apex.

Once reached Nascent Soul, it signifies possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Without irreconcilable deep-seated hatred or overwhelming temptation from profits, no one would easily become enemies with a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

After all, the retaliation of a Nascent Soul True Monarch is not something any force can bear.

But the next moment, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind about the two spirit marrow pieces Li Ji’an produced at the trade meeting.

Those are treasures even Nascent Soul True Monarchs vie for.

Li Ji’an, a Core Formation cultivator, could easily bring out two pieces, surely attracting countless covetous eyes.

With such thought, being cautious is indeed not wrong.
