Chapter 559: Stunning the Three Realms With A Flying Sword
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Qin Yun held up a flying sword with his palm as the surface of the flying sword circulated a light but unfathomable misty rain. All its power was converged.
At that moment, the Great Dao contained within the Intrinsic Flying Sword was also changing.
An Intrinsic Flying Sword was one with its sword immortal; they were even a part of the sword immortal’s life! The flying sword would naturally also contain the Sword Dao the sword immortal had figured out. Before that, Qin Yun had relied on Connate Wonders, such as the Chaos Pure Gold, to promote his flying sword’s breakthrough. It even formed a Great Dao inside the Misty Rain Sword.
And at that moment, Qin Yun had attained a Golden Immortal Dao fruit. The Great Dao he had figured out contained Heaven, Earth, and Man. His foundation was extremely deep and robust. The moment he attained it, it was a Great Dao at the pinnacle Golden Immortal level. It was even superior to the Great Dao that the Misty Rain Sword originally had.
“Hua!”
The Great Dao inside the Misty Rain Sword was naturally transforming, and while this process happened, the flying sword’s appearance also changed.
It became slightly thinner and even seemed to have three shadows concealed within it. Each shadow represented the mysticism of Heaven, Earth, and Man respectively. The flying sword’s strength also increased.
“Oh?”
High in the sky, the glowing red face in the massive black cloud suddenly widened. Its two stony red arms which were striking downward suddenly retracted.
“No good! Escape!” The massive black cloud was alarmed as it desperately flew higher.
“The surrounding void has been sealed. Even I have to fly slowly, but this Qin Yun’s flying sword was able to forcibly tear through space? To be able to do so, firstly, one’s realm has to be profound enough. One has to figure out a pinnacle Great Dao. Secondly, one’s might has to be sufficiently powerful. Only a small number of pinnacle Ancestral Fiends are capable of that.” Star Destruction was panicking.
Qin Yun had managed to do it.
Firstly, he had definitely figured out a pinnacle Great Dao.
Secondly, his flying sword’s might was sufficiently horrifying!
Either of these two outcomes was enough to leave Star Destruction shuddering.
“What!?”
In space, the Buddhists’ eighteen Arhats and the Heavenly Courts’ 108 Heavenly Constellation Earthly Wraiths watched in shock.
Something that could send reverberations through the Three Realms had happened before their very eyes!
The scene of the flying sword forcibly penetrating the void and appearing in Qin Yun’s palm had left them dumbfounded.
“He has figured out a pinnacle Great Dao? Furthermore, he did so as a sword immortal?” These Arhats and Heavenly generals were in disbelief.
There were few mighty figures in the Three Realms to begin with.
Pinnacle Golden Immortals were even rarer. All of them enjoyed an extremely high stature. Among those, the ones that were adept at combat were particularly extraordinary. For example, Perfected Immortal Erlang, Yang Jian, who cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art was a pinnacle Golden Immortal of the Physical Establishing Sage lineage! He was labeled as the number one combat general of the Heavenly Courts, the strongest combat general of Jade Void Palace!
As for the monkey from Flowers and Fruit Mountain, he too was a pinnacle Golden Immortal who cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. Back then, he had nearly overturned the Heavenly Courts.
As for sword immortals, they were known as being capable of destroying all Dharma with a single sword. Their bodies were weaker, but their offensive strength was even higher. Similarly, they were extremely adept in combat!
…
“Why did this happen?” In the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss’s Bojia Palace, Patriarch Bojia was astounded by this scene.
Any existence that figured out a pinnacle Great Dao, especially one that was adept in combat, was an illustrious figure in the Three Realms.
Although in terms of cultivation speed, Yang Jian and the monkey had become pinnacle Golden Immortals with short cultivation times, and Qin Yun had only become an Itinerant Immortal after cultivating for thousands of years.
But considering his background… Qin Yun was sufficiently amazing.
“This Qin Yun was only said to be a half-step Golden Immortal before. Later, he was able to match mighty figures. Now, he has even grasped a pinnacle Great Dao? He’s also a sword immortal?” Bojia’s four faces were distorted, grotesque, deranged, and as for the anterior face, it was filled with rage. “Why did this happen? I paid such an immense price, so much that I threw in the Connate Numinous treasure, the Great Yin Disk. Why did I still fail?”
“Qin Yun, it’s all that darn Qin Yun’s fault!” Bojia was infuriated.
But in fact, the other Tenebrous Fiend Abyss Ancestral Fiends who were monitoring the situation were somewhat astounded.
“The Daoists have produced another pinnacle Golden Immortal? Furthermore, he’s a sword immortal?”
Many Ancestral Fiends felt their hearts palpitating. After all, most of them were only at the ordinary Ancestral Fiend level.
And among them, the strongest few powerhouses were relatively relaxed.
“Thankfully, despite the Daoists producing an astounding genius—one that has figured out a pinnacle Great Dao and has might no lesser than Yang Jian’s—he is ultimately an Itinerant Immortal. He will live for about ten thousand years at most… He will eventually be turned to dust by the Heavenly Tribulations.”
“Thankfully, he brought forward his tribulations to save a Small World and ended up an Itinerant Immortal.”
“Speaking of which, Star Destruction can be credited with this. At the very least, he forced Qin Yun to bring forward his tribulation and become an Itinerant Immortal. Exchanging Star Destruction to destroy a peerless sword immortal is worth it!”
“Yes, it’s worth it. Definitely worth it. He has helped rid us fiends of a huge threat.”
The strongest existences in the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss watched this scene with glee.
Although Star Destruction was also very powerful, all he figured out was an ordinary Great Dao. Even if he relied on his Chaos Godfiend talent and the spirit-devouring art to devour countless beings to accumulate his strength, he was only able to barely produce strength at the pinnacle Ancestral Fiend level.
But compared to Qin Yun? He was nothing worth mentioning.
Qin Yun was a sword immortal who had truly figured out a pinnacle Great Dao. Like Yang Jian, he was a god-slaying existence that could shock the Three Realms.
…
“A pity. How lamentable.”
If the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss’s pinnacle Ancestral Fiends were said to be delighted, their opponents were having antithetical reactions.
Mighty figures from the Magus Gate, dragons, and the ancient demons all shook their heads.
“Qin Yun has extraordinary talent. He and I were tied by fate too. A pity, a pity…” In the Western Paradise, Amita was emitting boundless light. He shook his head at the scene.
“This junior brother of mine was able to figure out a pinnacle Great Dao, so why did he end up an Itinerant Immortal?” In the Heavenly Courts’ Mount Li, an old granny was watching from afar with a pained heart. She was now the strongest among the Green Touring Palace disciples. A sword immortal at the pinnacle Golden Immortal level had strength that approached a perfected Golden Immortal. He would soon be a peerless expert only second to her in the Green Touring Palace. It was not easy for her to find someone who could aid her, but unfortunately, he had become an Itinerant Immortal.
Before this…
Qin Yun did not figure out a Great Dao, but he barely figured out a few sword moves at the Golden Immortal level. His strength simply matched that of a mighty figure. So when he became an Itinerant Immortal, it left many mighty figures sighing, but it was nothing major.
But after Qin Yun grasped a pinnacle Great Dao, it left many experts in the Three Realms sighing very regretfully! This was a major loss!
“Pinnacle Great Dao?”
In Green Touring Palace, the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure was watching this scene. Ever since his eldest disciple converted to Buddhism, he had always been waiting, waiting for a disciple who could inherit his Sword Dao.
He was rather optimistic about Qin Yun, but it was only optimism.
But when Qin Yun became a Itinerant Immortal, yet grasped a pinnacle Great Dao…
The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure’s eyes lit up. He silently watched his disciple.
******
Qin Yun held the Misty Rain Sword in his palm as he looked up into the sky. The massive black cloud was already frantically escaping.
“Trying to escape?”
“You can’t run!”
Qin Yun looked at Supremacy Star Destruction as though he was a bug struggling in a spider’s web.
With a gentle flick of his hand—
Shoo!
The Misty Rain Sword forcibly tore through space and, once again, appeared above the escaping Star Destruction.
“What?” Star Destruction, who was flying upwards in a bid to get to the cosmos, saw the Misty Rain Sword appear suddenly above him. The tiny flying sword left him feeling fearful.
He immediately circled around it.
“Destroy!”
Qin Yun cried out lightly.
The Misty Rain Sword swooped down and began its assault.
Boom!
The tiny flying sword was able to stir the might of the Heaven and Earth. Tens of thousands of kilometers of the world around it was made to warp, to the point that it assaulted the massive black cloud below it.
“This…” When Star Destruction saw that the Heaven and Earth above him crash down towards him as one, he could not help but be terrified.
Boom!
The Heaven and Earth accompanied the flying sword as they pummeled down as a whole.
The might was absolutely formidable.
The pinnacle Great Dao which Qin Yun had figured out contained Heaven, Earth, and Man. His grasp over the Heaven, Earth, and space-time was extremely high. Now, he was taking control of all the Heaven and Earth powers in the region to deal a fatal blow! Ordinary experts would borrow the Heaven and Earth powers in their battles, but Qin Yun directly controlled the Heaven and Earth for tens of thousands of kilometers out. He had assumed immediate control over a third of all the Great Chang world’s Heaven and Earth powers.
If he wasn’t afraid that he would affect the countless mortals and the oceans, he was fully capable of controlling an even wider region.
“Boom!!!”
It felt like a collision of planets.
And Star Destruction was clearly the weaker one. He brandished his red arms with full might in a bid to fend the attack off, but they were repelled. The black cloud began dissipating due to the assaults.
By the time Qin Yun dispelled the boundless Heaven and Earth powers, the black cloud was already completely gone. All that was left was the red glow hiding behind the two arms.
With the terrifying strike that contained the might of the Heaven and Earth, more than 90% of Star Destruction’s body had been destroyed.
“Spare me! Spare me.” Star Destruction pleaded.
“Spare you?”
Qin Yun walked out from the space he tore through. The Misty Rain Sword floated by his side as he looked at the blob of red light that continued spanning hundreds of kilometers.
“Why should I spare your life?” asked Qin Yun.
“I have two Connate Numinous treasures. I’m willing to give them to you, Sword Immortal Qin.” The red glow’s face said fawningly, “I also have other treasures that I’m willing to give to you.”
“Those will all be mine if I kill you anyway.”
“This… This…”
The face amid the red glow turned flustered as it added, “I also know of a huge secret. The secret of your Great Chang world! Aren’t you curious why Patriarch Bojia keeps attempting to occupy your Great Chang world?”
“My Great Chang world’s secret?” Qin Yun’s heart tightened as he pressed, “What’s the secret?”
“Shut up! Shut up!”
A voice transmission boomed in Star Destruction’s mind. “Star Destruction, have you forgotten that we signed a Mental Demon pact? You have to keep it a secret.”
“I’m about to die. Why would I care about any Mental Demon pact?” The red glow’s face roared angrily in return as his angry bellow resounded in the void. “Furthermore, Qin Yun has already grasped a pinnacle Great Dao. Bojia, are you still entertaining the empty hopes of occupying the Great Chang world?”
Qin Yun flicked his sleeve.
The surrounding space was isolated, blocking even karmic communications. Patriarch Bojia no longer had any means to send a voice transmission.
“Tell me, what’s the Great Chang world’s secret?”
“Sword Immortal Qin, you have to swear on your Dao Heart to send me back to the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss,” the face said. “As long as you make that vow, I’ll tell you the secret. I will not say it if you do not vow.”
“Vow on my Dao heart?”
Qin Yun snorted coldly.
Shoo!
The Misty Rain Sword transformed into a blurry sword beam as it instantly penetrated the red glow and tore out from the other side. It left a misty rain in its wake that constantly eroded red glow away.
The red glow’s face flailed its gigantic arms in a bid to defend itself, but it failed.
“No! No—”
Shoo!
The Misty Rain Sword returned and penetrated it again.
This took time to describe but in reality, the Misty Rain Sword tore through the red glow which spanned hundreds of kilometers repeatedly. Soon, the red glow was completely wiped out, leaving behind its remnant items. The red stony arms were also left behind.
Qin Yun felt somewhat wistful. Despite grasping a pinnacle Great Dao, he still needed to power his Intrinsic Flying Sword thrice to kill Star Destruction. He was indeed a tough opponent.
“Your survival poses too great a danger for the Three Realms. A secret isn’t worth your life. As for the Great Chang world’s secret, I can eventually find it out for myself.” Qin Yun’s eyes were cold. Star Destruction had harmed countless; if he did not kill him this time, he would hide in the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss for ten thousand years. After Qin Yun perished from the Itinerant Immortal’s tribulations, Star Destruction would be able to appear again to wreak havoc.
“Whoosh—”
Suddenly, the Great Chang world was bathed in golden light. Even the cosmos was bathed in golden light.
The Arhats and Heavenly generals were astounded. Even the Howling Celestial Dog could not help but exclaim, “The Heavens are bestowing merit? How much merit is there that it causes such a huge stir?”
Yang Jian looked down and said, “In terms of sin, Star Destruction is probably ranked in the top five of the Three Realms. Killing him naturally results in boundless merit!”
Meanwhile, in the Great Chang world.
In midair.
Qin Yun stood there as the boundless merit gathered on him, covering his body with a golden aura.
