Chapter 701: Chapter 697: Invincible

SWISH!

The moment Yao Yueye thrusted his sword, it abruptly vanished. When it reappeared, its sharp tip was already at Hong Yu’s heart.

The frigid Sword Gang stirred up a gale, making the robes on his chest flap wildly. Under this immense sword pressure, his heart even skipped a beat, as if it could stop at any moment.

A glint flickered in Hong Yu’s eyes. ’What a formidable sword strike, to actually combine the Sword Dao with space. Yao Yueye is truly worthy of his former title as the top genius of the Southern Ten Nations. Incredible!’ A faint smile played on Hong Yu’s lips. ’A pity, but a move like this is still not enough to deal with me!’

The next moment.

Hong Yu took a deep breath and vanished into thin air.

His disappearance was even more uncanny than the sword’s. When he reappeared, he was already behind Yao Yueye.

The instant Yao Yueye saw Hong Yu disappear, he instinctively slid sideways to dodge.

He moved sideways instead of turning around because he was accustomed to having everything under his control; the situation behind him was not. Thus, his subconscious reaction was to slide away from his original position.

Just as he moved, Hong Yu’s fist came crashing down.

The punch was swift and ferocious, blasting a huge hole in space where Yao Yueye had just been. A spatial storm howled out from within.

’Such speed!’

Hong Yu praised him silently and gave chase.

Kick a man while he’s down!

It was a surefire way to win a fight.

Hong Yu caught up to Yao Yueye, who had just stabilized himself but hadn’t fully regained his center of gravity.

Hong Yu was already beside him.

He spread the fingers of his left hand and swiped. His five fingers were like five golden dragons roaring forward. The immense force shattered the void, the terrifying power making it tremble.

Almost as soon as his left hand’s attack was launched, Hong Yu thrust out with the Godslaying Spear in his right hand.

The speed of this thrust was fast, even more astonishing.

The Spear Technique came crashing down from across the sky.

BOOM!

The golden Spear Aura magnified in an instant, descending from the sky and smashing down toward Yao Yueye’s back.

"Nine Techniques of the Demon God—Chaotic Heaven!"

Yao Yueye’s face remained cold. As he faced this attack, he suddenly spun around.

Despite having lost his balance, he executed a backhanded sword strike.

The essence of the Chaotic Heaven Technique was chaos. From the very start, this sword strike contained a powerful Sword Momentum, rushing toward the Palm Light of Hong Yu’s five fingers in an instant.

A full nine streams of Sword Gang erupted in an instant. With a series of THWIPS, the exploding Sword Gang pierced the void hand that Hong Yu had formed. The fierce assault shattered the Void Claw. Immediately, the Sword Edge changed direction, sweeping upward to unleash a brilliant beam of light.

BANG!

The sword light and the Spear Aura collided in the void.

BZZZT!

In that instant, the surging river below came to a standstill, as if a sudden blast of winter wind had frozen it solid.

CRACK!

The frozen river instantly shattered.

Hong Yu and Yao Yueye were simultaneously forced apart. Hong Yu retreated three steps, while Yao Yueye was pushed back several hundred meters before he could barely stop himself.

Yao Yueye looked at the sword in his hand with a complex expression. It was trembling faintly, seeming somewhat dispirited.

"Excellent. Truly excellent. Hong Yu, I never imagined you would reach such a realm in just over a year. Your combat power is indeed formidable. I once fought the Second City Lord of the North and South Divine City, and I feel your power is even greater than his. He couldn’t block this next sword strike of mine. Today, let’s see if you can!"

Yao Yueye took a deep breath and spoke with pride.

His words immediately sent a wave of shock and astonishment through the crowd of spectators.

The Second City Lord of the North and South Divine City had the surname Beitang. He was a long-famous figure, a renowned existence among the six City Lords of the Four Great Divine Cities.

Even a long-established City Lord Level expert like Ma Yuanfei had to be careful when dealing with his combat prowess.

And yet, this Yao Yueye claimed that even Lord Beitang was no match for him.

The crowd couldn’t help but look toward the Divine King expert from the North and South Divine City. Seeing him remain silent, they were even more shocked. This meant Yao Yueye wasn’t bluffing; he had truly defeated the Second City Lord of the North and South Divine City.

"Heavens, is some major event about to happen? Otherwise, how could so many geniuses appear all at once?"

"In past generations, it was a miracle for even one City Lord Level expert to emerge. But this time there are two? And... I heard that when Hong Yu and Yao Yueye entered the True Dragon Battlefield, their cultivation didn’t even rank in the top three among this generation of True Dragons!"

"It’s too terrifying!"

Countless experts exclaimed in amazement.

Even the two mysterious figures hidden in cloaks had brilliant light shining from their eyes.

They too felt the blood burning in their veins.

Hong Yu narrowed his eyes. "Oh? It seems your Swordsmanship has indeed improved greatly, Yao Yueye. I just wonder if this next sword strike of yours is truly as powerful as you claim!"

"This sword strike of mine is called Cyan Lotus!"

Yao Yueye gently stroked the Treasure Sword in his hand, a hint of tenderness in his eyes, as if he were gazing upon a loved one.

This was a true Sword Fool, a true Sword Cultivator!

He treated his sword as his friend, even cherishing it as he would his own life!

Hong Yu couldn’t help but grow solemn. "Good. Then let me test your Cyan Lotus Sword Skill!"

"Very well!"

Yao Yueye nodded.

The next moment...

His figure suddenly began to step through the void. Though hundreds of meters separated them, with each step he took, he closed the distance by dozens of meters.

This speed didn’t seem particularly fast, but as he gently channeled energy into the Treasure Sword in his hand, an astonishing Sword Momentum erupted from it.

SWISH! SWISH!

One hundred and eight cyan sword lights scattered through the void.

The appearance of each sword light pierced the void, tearing open a fissure. Spatial storms raged and roared within, like coiling void dragons twisting their bodies. They then intertwined with one another, condensing into resplendent cyan lotuses.

The resplendent lotuses appeared one after another, a full one hundred and eight of them.

"Sword Skill—Cyan Lotus!"

A brilliant light suddenly bloomed in Yao Yueye’s eyes. The tip of his sword turned to point directly at Hong Yu.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

A full one hundred and eight cyan Sword Lotuses shot out, converging and condensing into a single cyan Sword Lotus five hundred meters tall.

The moment this Cyan Lotus appeared, Hong Yu even had an illusion. It was as if what stood before him wasn’t a Cyan Lotus condensed from sword light, but a true, naturally formed cyan lotus flower that had existed since the Ancient Era and survived to this day.

Upon the cyan lotus flower were one hundred and eight petals, and on each petal, a Swordswoman was performing a sword dance.

Each petal, each Swordswoman, seemed to be executing a set of unparalleled Swordsmanship.

A total of one hundred and eight powerful forms of Swordsmanship were unleashed, aiming for Hong Yu and charging to kill.

The cyan lotus was constantly rotating.

With each rotation, it unleashed a terrifying sword light. For Hong Yu to face this cyan Sword Lotus was equivalent to facing one hundred and eight powerful Sword Dao masters at the same time.

This was an absolute challenge!

’No wonder not even the City Lord of the North and South Divine City could block this attack!’

Hong Yu was inwardly amazed.

But this amazement was immediately followed by a surge of even more fervent battle intent. Most of his cultivation had been comprehended through combat. He had a persistent and zealous desire to face powerful opponents. Facing an expert of Yao Yueye’s Level, he felt not pressure, but an overwhelming will to fight.

He wanted a true, grand battle!

He craved a great battle!

’I’ve never been able to grasp the threshold of the fourth technique of *Piercing Void*, ’Invincible’. I’ll use this battle to try and master it today!’ At this thought, Hong Yu suddenly tossed the Godslaying Spear high into the air. After a spin, the Godslaying Spear returned to his hand.

BANG!

A shockwave of energy shot out from all around Hong Yu.

It blasted outward in all directions like a tyrannical, raging tornado.

"In... vin... ci... ble!"

Hong Yu roared.

In his previous battle with Ku Tianlei, he had already come to understand the true essence of the Spiral Power contained within the third technique, ’Unrivaled’. Now, facing Yao Yueye’s attack, his comprehension deepened even further.

He realized that Spiral Power wasn’t just about spinning in a single direction.

It was like this Cyan Lotus.

Although it was also spinning, and one hundred and eight Sword Skills were fused within it, they were further integrated into a single, cohesive whole.

Because of this...

Even though it was one hundred and eight Sword Skills, the power they unleashed was far greater than any single Sword Skill.

’This is the fusion of power!’

’If Sword Skills can be fused, then why can’t Spiral Power?’

’For example, one current of Spiral Power spins to the left, and another spins to the right. If I can find a way to fuse these two completely different, counter-rotating currents of Spiral Power, the resulting fusion of forward and reverse spirals will produce a power that isn’t just a simple one-plus-one addition!’

At this thought, Hong Yu suddenly thrust his spear out.

BOOM!

Rings of golden energy, like long dragons, spun frantically from right to left, already coiling around the Godslaying Spear.

"Hm? This spear thrust..."

Ku Tianlei’s expression shifted slightly. He recognized that familiar Spiral Power; it was the very move he had been defeated by. However, his gaze flickered with a trace of doubt. ’This attack is indeed powerful, but I’m afraid it’s still not enough to face Yao Yueye’s Cyan Lotus Sword Skill. But...’

Ku Tianlei’s expression suddenly tensed.

He discovered that another current of Spiral Power had appeared on Hong Yu’s Godslaying Spear.

This time, it was spinning from left to right.

When this left-to-right current of Spiral Power appeared and coiled around the Godslaying Spear, Hong Yu felt immense pressure travel up his arm. Under the fusion of the two Spiral Powers, he found he could barely control the Godslaying Spear. The entire shaft trembled in his hands, nearly flying from his grasp.

’So strong!’

A reddish glint appeared in Hong Yu’s eyes. ’That’s right! I can feel it! This is the correct way to use Spiral Power! There’s no doubt about it! Hahaha...’

Fervent battle intent erupted in Hong Yu’s eyes. With a furious roar, he viciously smashed the Godslaying Spear, infused with two currents of Spiral Power, forward.

The cyan Sword Lotus and the golden Spiral Spear Aura collided violently in the void...
