Chapter 613: Bidding for Supremacy

“Don’t worry.”

“We will win.”

Noticing his unease, Fu Nanzi offered a quiet word of reassurance.

Just then.

High noon arrived.

SWOOSH!

The once-clear, boundless sky suddenly began to change.

In a flash, dark clouds blanketed the sky for thousands of miles, turning day into night. A deep and boundless night sky, with rivers of stars flowing across it, abruptly materialized above Luofu State!

“Descent of the Gloomy Night!”

Su Ye’s signature ability!

At the same time.

HUMMM.

The stellar nebula in the night sky flickered and formed a vortex. A warship, thousands of feet long and as majestic as a floating mountain range, slowly emerged from within!

The Ghostly Flood Dragon!

Su Ye, clad in black robes, stood at the ship’s prow, looking down upon Luofu State.

A mocking smile played on his lips. His voice, though light, carried clearly to the ears of every Sword Sect cultivator. “Good afternoon, everyone from the Jade Void Sword Sect…”

“Yehai has come to pay a visit!”

“He’s here!”

“He’s finally here!”

Miss Sanhua, Qixia, and the other spectating Nascent Soul experts, who had grown drowsy with boredom, were instantly jolted awake. They held their breath and focused, eagerly awaiting the Jade Void Sword Sect’s response!

“Hmph!”

A cold snort echoed from within Luofu State.

Hu Guang demanded.

“If you’ve come to pay a visit, why such an aggressive display?”

“Your intentions are malicious! This contempt for the Sword Sect is an offense punishable by death!”

There was nothing more to be said.

Faced with Su Ye’s actions, which Nascent Soul from the Jade Void Sword Sect wasn’t seething with rage?

To be so arrogant, to look down on the Sword Sect and descend upon Luofu State with such menace… did he really think that just because the Jade Void Sword Sect had suffered a few losses, they were some pushover he could crush at will?!

VMMM!

From within the white mist shrouding Luofu State, a world-shattering beam of white light, brimming with infinite destructive power, suddenly erupted!

“Tai Xu’s Nine Heavens’ End Divine Light!”

This divine light was similar in appearance to the Taixu Luofu Immortal Boat’s Divine Light Cannon.

The source for both was an array diagram the Jade Void Sword Sect had found a thousand years ago.

However.

The power of this Taixu Divine Light was on a completely different level from what Su Ye had witnessed before!

The Luofu Immortal Boat’s energy reserves were ample, but they paled in comparison to those of the sect’s headquarters!

BOOM!

The divine light roared, transforming into a pillar of light that reached the heavens. The white glare was blinding, like the breaking dawn!

This beam of divine light was like an arrow from the Sun God, splitting the deep, dark night that enveloped Luofu State in two—a dazzling and mesmerizing sight!

And that was just the beginning!

From within the dense fog of the Nine Heavens Array, white lights twinkled like a multitude of stars. Then, an incredibly dense barrage of divine light, like intercontinental missiles trailing fire, filled the sky!

Under the illumination of the divine light, the deep night sky seemed to once again turn back into day!

“The Taixu Nine Heavens Divine Light!”

“Face the might of the Sword Sect!”

The Sword Sect disciples’ faces flushed with excitement as they clenched their fists!

‘The Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation is truly terrifying!’

‘If it were me… I’m afraid…’

The various Nascent Soul experts hidden in the shadows, spying on the battle, felt a chill run down their spines.

An old ship still has good nails, as they say. The Jade Void Sword Sect had been a hegemon for a thousand years; even in decline, they were not to be underestimated!

‘How will he block it?’

‘How will Su Ye respond?’

‘Shadow-jumping? Void Stealth? His Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect has a powerful influence over the void, so it shouldn’t be hard for him to dodge, right?’

‘Not necessarily. The Taixu Divine Light can powerfully disrupt the void. With so much of it, it’ll be nearly impossible for Yehai, who’s taking the full force of the attack, to teleport through the void!’

The group of Nascent Soul experts surged their Divine Senses, their gazes locked on the battlefield.

However, it seemed the Taixu Divine Light was simply too fast. Su Ye and the Ghostly Flood Dragon made no move at all before they were utterly engulfed by the overwhelming white light!

‘Is he dead?’

‘Impossible. A fool could never cultivate a Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect.’

‘So… why didn’t he dodge?’

Because he had no fear!

HUMMM.

The blinding white light scattered and faded.

As the air surged and wild winds howled, an indestructible Shield Array shimmering with black and red light was revealed. Within the shield, the Ghostly Flood Dragon was completely unharmed!

“Is that it?”

The corner of Su Ye’s mouth hooked up in a mocking smile.

‘A Tier-5, high-grade spirit ship… did you really think this was a game?’

‘Besides, with the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s foundations, you could say it’s the “Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect” of spirit ships!’

‘Add to that the attribute buffs from my status panel, my Mythic-grade skills, and the boost from my Divine Realm—which already spans over one hundred thousand square kilometers…’

‘Tanking a round of Taixu Divine Light?’

‘Piece of cake~’

“Had your fun? Now, it’s my turn…” Su Ye’s tone was flippant, his smile warm as he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers!

SNAP!

In the ocean stretching for thousands of miles around Luofu State, an icy-silver radiance flared!

In the very next moment, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded. Trillions of tons of water across thousands of miles of ocean instantly erupted!

A colossal wave, thousands of feet high, formed a veritable Wall of Despair. With unstoppable force, it surged forward, about to smash into Luofu State!

An endless, unstoppable mass of seawater came pouring down!

“What?!”

“A tsunami of this scale!”

Within the Jade Void Sword Sect, the expressions on many disciples’ faces instantly froze!

Stationed at the Array’s center, the Seventh Peak Master, Fu Nanzi, his expression changed drastically. He shot to his feet. “Open all Spiritual Energy Pools! Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation, switch to full defense mode!”

HUMMM.

The white mist condensed, forming a pure white shield that looked like an overturned giant bowl, covering Luofu State.

The full defense mode of the Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation had never been breached in a thousand years. But this time, what they faced… was an immortalized Dharma Body at the Late-stage Nascent Soul, empowered by a Divine Realm!
