Chapter 307: Chapter 261: Mo Pengchen’s Love Letter (2)

Unfortunately, Yu Changsheng didn’t understand the sword. Aside from the piercing Sword Intent, he couldn’t comprehend anything else here.

’No wonder a Sword Cultivator like Meng Wuan wanted to participate in this trial. This must be his goal.’

Yu Changsheng came to a sudden understanding. After observing for a moment longer, a sense of crisis abruptly gripped him, as if a blade were at his back. Every hair on his body stood on end, leaving him deeply unsettled.

"Hmph?!"

Yu Changsheng’s expression changed. Without a moment’s hesitation, he stomped his foot on Si Jian Cliff, his body lunging to the left as he executed several consecutive Shadow Flashes.

"Divine Radiance Toss!"

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!

In the very next instant, a Golden Spear shimmering with brilliant light transformed into a golden streak. Accompanied by a thunderous roar and stirring up endless ripples in the air, it tore through the void. In a flash, it grazed Yu Changsheng’s shoulder and slammed violently into Si Jian Cliff.

BOOM!

Si Jian Cliff trembled, and the storm of Sword Qi upon it erupted, churning the void. The Golden Spear dissolved into fading golden light. Though the attack had missed, its power was astounding. The aftershocks caused nearby stone peaks to collapse, sending waves of dust and debris billowing into the air.

"Yang Chengxu!"

Yu Changsheng panted lightly, narrowing his eyes to suppress the pounding in his chest. His gaze was locked on the figure slowly emerging from the dust cloud.

The figure had a cold, severe expression. His purple robes fluttered in the wind, his black hair bound within a Flowing Gold and Jade Dragon Roar Crown. His brow was as imposing as a coiled dragon. His thin, dark red lips were pressed into a line, his fair skin was immaculate, and his deep-set eyes, though cold, held a hint of resentment.

At that moment, the Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon was perched on Yang Chengxu’s left shoulder, its draconic eyes glinting coldly at Yu Changsheng. The Celestial Shadow Dragon was on his right shoulder, its head held high and whiskers flowing, a look of disdain on its face.

A sudden gust of wind blew from nowhere. In an instant, the two dragons swelled to an immense size, their tails entwining as they circled Yang Chengxu. The sound of their Dragon’s Roars echoed ceaselessly. Yang Chengxu walked forward from between them, his silhouette like that of an immortal.

"You got lucky and won last time. This time, your luck has run out, Yu Changsheng."

Yang Chengxu spoke, his voice as indifferent as his expression—as cold as a deep winter wind, laced with killing intent.

"This Si Jian Cliff is a fine place. It makes for a decent burial ground for you."

As he spoke, Yang Chengxu abruptly waved his hand. A round pearl shot out and burst in midair. Instantly, a faint white barrier of light materialized, completely enveloping the area for ten li around. The fluctuations of an Array filled the air, and in a flash, the howling wind fell silent.

"The Boundary Pearl!"

Yu Changsheng’s gaze darkened. He watched Yang Chengxu’s actions coldly as the Colorful Star Deer, the Red Refining Snake, and the Golden-Winged Eagle appeared at his sides, poised for battle.

"I have completely sealed the space here. You can enter, but you cannot leave. From the outside, this area will be completely invisible. Don’t think about escaping. Between the two of us, only one will be walking out of here today."

Yang Chengxu smiled faintly. As the Boundary Pearl’s barrier fully solidified, the icy chill in his voice became completely unconcealed.

"Aren’t you afraid you’re just trapping yourself in your own web?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head. Though inwardly vigilant, his face showed no signs of panic.

"Trapping myself?" Yang Chengxu shook his head with a laugh, looking at Yu Changsheng with an odd expression. "You really think you’re something, don’t you? Go ahead, say your last words. Take one final look at this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, the killing intent in Yang Chengxu’s eyes erupted. In an instant, he moved, his body transforming into an unparalleled blade. His fist was wreathed in golden light. As he threw the punch, the image of a Rising Sun appeared behind him, leaping from the sea, vaulting over the darkness, and crushing down upon Yu Changsheng.

"Rising Sun Dawn Fist!!!"

A sharp glint flashed in Yu Changsheng’s eyes. He snapped his head up as the sound of bones grinding and cracking echoed from his body. His vital energy surged to his fist. From the surrounding forest of stone, pieces of rock flew to cover him, forming the Thousand Mountain Armor as he threw a punch to meet the attack.

RUUUMBLE!

The two attacks collided, shaking the very earth. The violent shockwave completely flattened the surrounding stone pillars. Dust filled the air as the massive sun image exploded. The two figures broke apart on contact, each stumbling back several steps.

Blood trickled from the corner of Yu Changsheng’s mouth. Yang Chengxu’s aura was slightly unsettled and his gaze darkened; he clearly hadn’t gained an advantage either.

’How long has it been? How has his strength improved so much again?’

Yang Chengxu took a deep breath and shook his numb arm, inwardly astonished.

’It seems he’s had quite a few fortuitous encounters in this Illusion Mist Beast Valley,’ Yang Chengxu thought, his gaze hardening. ’But my own gains have been significant as well. The Celestial Shadow Dragon even completed its advancement thanks to this. There’s no reason for me to lose this fight.’

With that thought, Yang Chengxu let out a low shout. He waved his hand and performed a Finger Technique, and the Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon and Celestial Shadow Dragon beside him instantly soared high into the air, circling and roaring endlessly.

"ROAR!!!"

The sound of the Dragon’s Roar pierced the heavens, echoing in all directions. It carried an unparalleled sense of tyranny and annihilation, stirring up a furious storm.

"Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon, Domain—Celestial Cyan Day and Moonlight!"

"Celestial Shadow Dragon! Domain—Profound Nether Dark Heaven!

The light in Yang Chengxu’s eyes flared to its brightest. This time, he attacked with a killing blow, holding nothing back, intending to give Yu Changsheng no chance whatsoever.

The Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon threw its head back. An intense cyan light enveloped heaven and earth, covering half the space within the Boundary Pearl. Within this cyan sky, phantoms of a bright moon and a scorching sun slowly rose and set in the east and west. In an instant, the cyan light grew even more brilliant, becoming a boundless expanse.

The light was scorching and deeply penetrating. When it shone on a person’s skin, it produced an unbearable burning sensation that affected not only the physical body, but also the Divine Soul, creating a constant, omnipresent drain.

But how could Yang Chengxu’s killing move end there? As the cyan light covered one half of the sky, the Celestial Shadow Dragon occupied the other. A black mist emanated from its pitch-black Dragon Scales, and an aura of darkness descended. That half of the sky became utterly black—so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. No light could penetrate it, and the darkness carried an oppressive, bone-chilling cold.

In an instant, the space inside the Boundary Pearl was split—one side flickered with incomparably hot cyan light, while the other was shrouded in bone-chilling darkness, creating a stark contrast. The figures of the Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon and Celestial Shadow Dragon drifted within their respective domains, exuding a terrifying draconic might.

"Yu Changsheng, accept your death!"

Positioned like a pearl between the two dragons, Yang Chengxu’s body slowly rose into the air. The aura of his Cultivation reached its Peak. Moving like a bolt of lightning, he shot toward Yu Changsheng and lashed out with a kick.

Yu Changsheng frowned, his expression growing grim. He realized that within this space, perhaps due to the unique environment, both Domains were being suppressed by the pervasive Sword Intent. They weren’t quite as formidable as they first appeared.

Furthermore, his own physical body and Divine Soul were extraordinary, so he wasn’t too affected by the Domains. The enhancements his opponent received within them, however, were very real.

’Even though my Cultivation is lower than yours, my body and Divine Soul are more than enough to close the gap.’

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath. Watching the rapidly approaching Yang Chengxu, an equally explosive killing intent erupted in his eyes. He stomped his foot on the ground, launching himself into the air. Unfurling his fist into a palm, he brought it down like an axe toward Yang Chengxu’s head!

Yang Chengxu’s strength was undeniable. He was at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, and with a Tier Two Sixth Layer Celestial Cyan Sub-Dragon, a Tier Two Fifth Layer Celestial Shadow Dragon, and an endless array of Divine Techniques, he could crush most prodigies at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But Yu Changsheng was no slouch himself. His strength had taken a qualitative leap during this Secret Realm trial. Though his Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer Cultivation was a step below Yang Chengxu’s, the transcendence of his Divine Soul and physical body was enough to bridge that gap.

With his three tamed beasts now at the Tier Two Fifth Layer as well, it was clear that, on paper, there was no great disparity between the two combatants.

RUUUMBLE!!!

Cyan light flickered and darkness descended, each occupying one pole of the sky. They pushed against each other in a delicate balance, like the very heavens were collapsing, scattering endless divine power as they converged on Yu Changsheng.
