Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 113, Leng Wuyan’s Challenge

With Chu Ming’s eyesight, he could see a black shadow fleeing into the distance, as miserable as a lost dog. It was none other than the escaping Leng Xieyue.

Without chasing, Chu Ming picked up the storage rings of the Fenglei brothers and then turned his gaze to the red plant nearby. At this moment, Lin Yumei saw that out of the three, one fled and two were killed. With a flash of her figure, she arrived beside Chu Ming.

"Junior Sister Lin, you should refine the Transcendence Fruit!"

Chu Ming plucked the Transcendence Fruit from the plant and handed it to Lin Yumei.

Lin Yumei did not refuse, but she kept this favor in her heart. Now she was already a martial artist at the peak of the Transcendence Realm. Once she consumed the Transcendence Fruit, she had a nine out of ten chance of breaking through to the True Dao Realm.

Without the Transcendence Fruit, even though she was already at the peak of the Transcendence Realm, breaking through would still take at least two years.

The True Dao Realm and the Transcendence Realm were completely different levels of life. As a martial artist’s cultivation advanced, their life also continuously transcended. From the Transcendence Realm to the True Dao Realm, life would experience a leap, and from the Realm of Transcendence to the Life and Death Realm of Kings, life would also undergo a leap.

This leap in life was not only reflected in strength but also in lifespan and other aspects.

Chu Ming had not reached the peak of the Transcendence Realm. Even if he consumed the Transcendence Fruit, it would not be very effective. Giving it to Lin Yumei to help her break through to the True Dao Realm would make their subsequent journey much safer.

Without any hesitation, the two of them advanced several hundred meters and found an empty cave. Lin Yumei went into the cave to refine the Transcendence Fruit, while Chu Ming stood outside to protect her.

For a moment, everything was incredibly quiet!

...

In the Celestial Flame Secret Realm, there was naturally more than one Transcendence Fruit. At this moment, in many places, there were struggles over the Transcendence Fruits. As long as they were lucky, a single Transcendence Fruit could help them break through to the True Dao Realm.

"Hahaha, I’ve finally broken through to the True Dao Realm. Li Yun, this time I finally have the qualification to challenge you!"

In a certain cave, rubble flew, and air currents surged. Countless stones exploded and flew out from the cave entrance. A proud figure slowly stepped out, sword momentum rolling on his body, leaving deep ravines on the cave walls and floor with his sharp Sword Qi.

Revealing a cold and proud expression, it was none other than the core disciple of Cyan Nether Mountain, known as Cyan Sword in the martial world — Leng Wuyan.

At this moment, the aura on his body had undergone a tremendous change. If the former him was a treasure sword, then the current him was a treasure sword that had been sharpened and was now ready to kill people and drink blood.

Countless small sword blades surrounded his body, completely tearing the air apart.

A day ago, he had the good fortune to obtain a Transcendence Fruit. With the help of the Transcendence Fruit, he broke through to the True Dao Realm in one fell swoop. At this moment, the spiritual power within his body had increased by dozens of times compared to before, and its quality had soared without knowing how many times more.

A low-tier fifth-level demon beast passed by him, wanting to bite him, but in an instant, the low-tier fifth-level demon beast was dismembered, its body shredded into powder by the Sword Aura.

Besides Leng Wuyan, many core disciples had obtained Transcendence Fruits, either through strength or luck.

Two from the Martial Extreme Sect!

Two from the Celestial Star Sect!

Only Leng Wuyan from Cyan Nether Mountain!

One from Burning Fire Valley!

One from Cyan Yang Sect, which was Lin Yumei!

However, the five great talents did not obtain any Transcendence Fruits and still remained at the peak of the Transcendence Realm. Otherwise, the Celestial Flame Secret Realm would surely be in great turmoil.

Half a day later, Leng Wuyan encountered Li Yun, who was searching for Chu Ming, in a valley. At this moment, Li Yun’s face was extremely gloomy. He had not heard any news about his younger brother for so many days. He understood in his heart that Zhang Xiaofei was likely telling the truth.

Looking at the Leng Wuyan before him, Li Yun’s expression changed, because the aura of Sword Dao on Leng Wuyan was extremely intense.

"You’ve broken through to the True Dao Realm?"

"How is it? Unexpected, isn’t it? Today, I, Leng Wuyan, will kill you here and take your title as a genius!"

Leng Wuyan spoke sharply, not hiding his cold killing intent at all.

"That will depend on your ability!"

Li Yun narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly. Over the years, countless geniuses in the Great Yan Kingdom had coveted their positions among the five great talents, but those who dared to challenge them all ended up as corpses at their feet.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

As soon as Li Yun finished speaking, strands of fire Qi emanated from his body, forming a sea of red flames around him. He exuded an aura of power without anger, with flames swirling around him as if he were the king of fire.

"Hmph!"

Leng Wuyan snorted coldly, drawing his cyan treasure sword. It was a middle-tier profound level treasure sword, with intricate patterns carved on it.

Woosh, woosh, woosh!

As soon as the sword was unsheathed, hundreds of cyan Sword Lights burst forth, breaking inch by inch into a myriad of slaughtering Qi, draining the surrounding space and forming dozens of swirling vortices of spiritual power.

"Great Sun Burning Palm!"

Facing the myriad slashing Sword Lights, Li Yun struck out with his palm. On his right palm, a delicate flame burned incessantly, and a palm of flame burst forth, each finger as majestic as a mountain.

Bang, bang, bang...

The collisions spread countless airwaves in all directions, with flames and Sword Lights wildly flying, scattering tiny light points in the air.

The Great Sun Burning Palm was a high-tier profound level martial technique, wielded by Li Yun as if it were an extension of his own will, blocking all of Leng Wuyan’s Sword Lights in an instant.

Although Leng Wuyan spoke lightly, he was more cautious than anyone else when facing Li Yun. The five great talents were not renowned for nothing.

Splat!

As soon as Li Yun’s Fire Palm struck Leng Wuyan, Leng Wuyan’s body split into three, forming three afterimages that surrounded Li Yun in a triangle. The three Sword Lights were like a breeze on his face, warping the space and appearing in front of Li Yun in an instant. It was the application of the concept of speed and slowness.

Li Yun’s eyes were as dark as ink, and his spiritual power erupted, instantly forming a red flame armor on the surface of his body, with twisted patterns on it.

Boom, boom, boom!

Li Yun continuously struck out dozens of palms, instantly forming a wall of flame palms around him, emptying all the airwaves and creating a vacuum area. Scattered flames kept falling around, burning the ground into patches of charred black.

Bam, bam, bam!

The palm prints and Sword Lights constantly collided, flames roiled, and the breeze blew, forming two streams of air that intertwined in the middle, coloring the air as if it were a brilliant display of fireworks.

Although Li Yun was not a True Dao Realm martial artist, his strength far surpassed that of an average True Dao martial artist, comparable to that of an ordinary peak martial artist of the True Dao Third Layer. Leng Wuyan, having broken through to the True Dao Realm, had cultivation at the first layer but strength comparable to the average True Dao Third Layer.

Therefore, after exchanging over ten moves, Leng Wuyan was at a disadvantage, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart. However, he had to continue to make moves to defend against Li Yun’s assaults.
