Chapter 346: Chapter 184: Divine Skill – Dragon Moving Nine Heavens

In its eyes, the opponent had to be…

The Celestial Bull’s thoughts hadn’t even finished forming when its bell-like pupils suddenly constricted.

Only to see the dark-green full moon in the sky instantly shattered by an ultimate, galaxy-like Sword Intent that pierced heaven and earth. The Sword Intent then tore through the air, carrying an earth-shattering roar of power and supreme Divine Power as it hurtled toward the Celestial Bull for the kill!

“This… How is this possible?!” The Celestial Bull’s pupils constricted. It let out a deep, hoarse cry, its once-simple face now a mask of shock as it tried to rise and dodge.

SHING!

The ultimate, galaxy-like Sword Intent streaked through the sky and appeared before the Celestial Bull in an instant. Then, with unstoppable force, it slashed into the Celestial Bull’s massive, muscular body!

“AARGH, IT HURTS!” the Celestial Bull roared, its face twisting into a savage snarl. ‘This opponent’s Sword Intent is far, far stronger than I imagined.’

Before it could even finish the thought, the opponent’s galaxy-like Heaven-Reaching Blade Intent pierced through the Celestial Bull’s ninety-foot-tall, brawny frame. It then tore through space itself, slashing viciously downward.

BOOM!

The terrifying, galaxy-like Sword Intent instantly carved a fissure into the ground below that spanned a thousand miles, its edges impossibly smooth.

The fissure was a bottomless, pitch-black abyss. The residual Sword Intent radiated outward, annihilating the surrounding rubble, space, and everything else—tangible or not!

“HISSS! The pain, the pain!”

“This pain is going to kill me!” The Celestial Bull’s towering, rugged body was nearly split in two. Dark-green blood trickled out, dripping down from the sky and smashing giant craters into the earth below.

WHOOSH!

The Celestial Bull took a deep breath. Its large, bell-like eyes stared at the terrifying figure suspended in the sky, a flicker of dread in its gaze.

‘This guy can break my defenses. He’s even stronger than that powerful Cyan-robed Sword Cultivator I fought in the Heaven-Defying Blood Array. But he’s only at the Tongxuan Early Stage!’

‘Damn it, a prodigy of the Human Race!!’

‘No rush. Once I use my Demonic Power to heal my Demon Body, I’ll be back to my fierce self!’

At this thought, the Celestial Bull immediately surged the vast Demonic Power within its body, attempting to heal the wound that had pierced its torso and nearly cleaved it in two.

But a moment later, the Celestial Bull’s eyes flew wide open. Its face was a mask of pure shock, as if it had seen a ghost. It muttered in disbelief:

“Impossible! I… I can’t heal my wound!!”

It could sense an incredibly mysterious and powerful energy preventing its body from healing.

“This is… the power of a Dao Domain!”

The Celestial Bull quickly understood why it couldn’t use its Demon Qi to heal. The ultimate, galaxy-like Sword Qi that had pierced the heavens contained a trace of a ‘Domain’s’ aura.

Although it was just a trace, it was on a higher level, completely suppressing the Celestial Bull’s Demon Qi!

‘How is this possible?! How could a mere Tongxuan Realm Early Stage Human Race Cultivator grasp a power that only Harmonization Giants are supposed to understand?’ A tidal wave of shock crashed through the Celestial Bull’s mind, leaving it utterly stunned.

“As expected of a Demon Fiend,” Gu Yun murmured, suspended in the sky. His clothes fluttered, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his hair whipping wildly in the wind. His deep eyes were fixed on the Celestial Bull’s body, a hint of surprised astonishment in them. “It’s far too durable.”

‘An ordinary person would have been killed instantly by that attack, yet this thing still looks full of life.’

‘If one strike won’t kill you, I’ll use two. Or three… I refuse to believe you’re truly Undying!’

‘Besides,’ Gu Yun thought, ‘if I kill it, I might be able to get a lot of information about Demon Fiends.’ At that thought, another reason for its death was added to the list. An extreme killing intent flashed in Gu Yun’s eyes!

…

「Inside the scarlet barrier.」

The sky was shattered, and the ground was a chaotic web of gashes. Powerful, residual Sword Intent, exuding an incredibly sharp aura, filled the air. Rubble had been annihilated into dust by it. Even the astral winds of the Silent Extinction Abyss were reduced to nothingness before this terrifying Sword Intent!

At that moment, two terrifying figures hovered in the void, exuding an extremely tyrannical aura. A powerful Dao Rhythm coiled around their bodies. One was a handsome man in a cyan robe, his Sword Intent reaching to the heavens. But now, blood stained his body, dyeing his cyan robe crimson and adding a hint of Blood Evil Qi to his appearance.

The other man wore a white robe. His posture was as straight as a pine, his long hair and clothes fluttering in the wind. He was also handsome, with sharp brows and eyes as deep as the starry night, and he emanated an unfathomable aura.

Shen Qing looked at Ye Xuantian with admiration and respect. “As expected of Brother Ye,” he praised. “Your strength is like that of a god. Your sword fells Demon Fiends. You must be invincible within the Tongxuan Realm!”

‘He was besieged by three Demon Fiends, taking the brunt of their assault, yet he slaughtered them all with ease and without a single injury, looking completely unbothered. Meanwhile, I fought for my life and suffered grievous wounds just to kill one of them. The gap between us is simply too vast.’

“You jest, Brother Shen.”

“I see that Brother Shen’s Sword Intent reaches the heavens, felling Demon Fiends at a glance. With such strength, I’m afraid there are few in the entire Southern Wilderness who could be your match!” Ye Xuantian’s lips curled into a slight smile as he offered the praise without a second thought.

‘And he wasn’t just spouting nonsense. With Shen Qing’s ultimate Sword Intent, he was just one step away from comprehending the power of a ‘Sword Domain.’ Combined with his Tongxuan Realm Late Stage cultivation, there truly were few in the entire Southern Wilderness who could match him, aside from one or two Harmonization Giants who hadn’t been seen in ages and whose status was unknown.’

‘Of course, that final barrier to comprehending a ‘Sword Domain’ was enough to stop ninety-nine percent of the Tongxuan Realm Cultivators in the world. Comprehending it depended entirely on one’s innate talent and perception.’

“Oh, come now, Brother Ye, you exaggerate. My meager abilities are a far cry from yours. How could I possibly claim to be unmatched in the Southern Wilderness?” Though his words were modest, an irrepressible smile spread across Shen Qing’s face.

Being praised by the monstrously talented Ye Xuantian, who was far stronger than him, made Shen Qing incredibly happy.

Then, Shen Qing’s sharp, sword-like gaze swept over the scarlet-glowing Barrier that enveloped the ten-thousand-li area above them. His expression turned solemn as he spoke in a low voice, “Brother Ye, this Array Barrier is extraordinary. I’m afraid we’ll be trapped here for a while.”

He couldn’t detect the slightest flaw in it, no matter how hard he looked.

“It’s alright, Brother Shen. I’ll give it a try. Perhaps I can break it,” Ye Xuantian said lightly, his deep eyes glancing at the Barrier that sealed off the world for ten thousand miles. “Besides, I’m also curious about the powerful expert outside. Who could it be?”

‘He could sense a Human Race Tongxuan Realm Cultivator outside the scarlet Barrier, fighting the Demon Fiend that had fled. But that wasn’t the sole reason for his curiosity. The main thing was… he found the person’s aura strangely familiar.’

‘Yet he couldn’t pinpoint who it was. He had met many Cultivators at or above the Tongxuan Realm in the Celestial Essence Realm, and he had a few vague guesses.’

But he never would have guessed that the person outside the Array Barrier was his own junior brother.

“Oh?!” Shen Qing looked surprised. “Perhaps it’s a senior who just happened to be passing through.”

‘In his mind, anyone who could fight that powerful Demon Fiend—one that even he couldn’t handle—had to be some ancient, powerful expert.’

“Perhaps,” Ye Xuantian said with a slight nod.

…

Outside the scarlet Barrier, high in the sky, Gu Yun’s white robes whipped in the wind. He gazed at the Celestial Bull, which was nearly cloven in two by his blade, dark-green demonic blood trickling from the wound. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he uttered in a bone-chilling voice, “It’s over!”

The next moment, Gu Yun circulated the vast Magical Power within his body. Dao Rhythm coiled around him as he exuded a terrifying might that could suppress heaven and earth. He formed a seal with one hand, pinching his fingers into a profound Seal.

“Divine Skill – Dragon Moving Nine Heavens!!”

ROAR!

A dragon’s cry suddenly echoed through the dim world.

Then, the dark sky flashed with an unprecedentedly brilliant light. A thousand-mile-long Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, wreathed in swirling golden clouds, appeared as if it had just traversed the boundless, starry cosmos to descend upon this world!

CRACK! CRACK!

The sky shattered, and the heavens collapsed!

ROAR!!

The vast and immense Five-Clawed Golden Dragon let out a furious roar, shattering the Void Celestial and crushing the firmament as it charged with overwhelming power toward the Celestial Bull to deliver the final, killing blow!!
