Chapter 306: Nine Swords Of Light (2)

Boom! The collision was akin to two planets crashing into each other, brilliant enough to blind mortals.

The two Dark Earth Nine Swords Arrays shone with dazzling light as Wu Yuan pushed the sword arrays to their limit.

A low rumble filled the air as the outer sword array showed signs of strain, yet managed to withstand the force of the fearsome pillar of light. In contrast, the second sword array, composed of eight lifebound flying swords and a single ordinary flying sword, remained steady and unwavering.

This attack is equivalent to a full strike from a fourth-stage Golden Core cultivator with a sixth-degree immortal root, as well as grasped the Domain stage. Wu Yuan estimated. This strike was not weak at all.

Unfortunately for his opponents, as long as Wu Yuan could react in time to form a sword array, the attack wouldn’t be a lethal one.

Despite his weaker mana reserves, his soul made up for it. Even though his qi refiner self had a weak soul relative to his body refiner self, it was still stronger than when he killed Jin Quan more than ten years ago.

But most crucially, his level of Dao comprehension reached the Domain stage! For the past fifteen years, Wu Yuan had traveled all across the Middle Land. His understanding of the profundity of the Land now reached an even deeper level than before.

Reassemble! Wu Yuan gave a mental order. The once faltering outer sword array regrouped with renewed vigor, merging with his Domain to unleash a formidable sword qi that sent shivers down the spines of the raiders.

“What?”

Out of the two sword arrays protecting him, the Ethercrystal Heavenly Thunder Array isn’t even able to shatter one? Unbelievable! The burly man with black hair and the silver-robed youth felt as though someone poured a bucket of ice-cold water on their heads.

At this moment, they truly understood the strength of their target.

“Run!” Without any hesitation, the black-haired burly man shot into the distance in a desperate bid to escape.

“Run?” Wu Yuan's cold gaze locked onto him, unleashing his essentia.

A soft hum filled the air as the nine lifebound flying swords converged, melding into an earthy-yellow divine light in the blink of an eye.

The second step of the Dark Earth Sword Array: Nine Swords Of Light!

With a resounding boom, the divine light tore through the sky, matching the speed of the heavenly lightning pillar that was unleashed by the battleship.

The divine light sliced through the air, piercing through ten li and shattering several of the black-haired man's flying sword artifacts. In a swift motion, it passed over his form with a deafening bang, evaporating flesh and blood in its wake.

The strongest of the four robbers was only a first-stage Golden Core cultivator. Moreover, he was the most ordinary kind that had yet to comprehend a Domain. He didn’t even come close to Jin Quan’s strength. What kind of noteworthy treasures could he possibly have?

Ah, I’ve finally found it. Wu Yuan’s eyes lit up as his gaze fell on a cluster of immortal slips in a ring storage artifact. Knowledge is still the most important. After reading these, I’ll be able to understand this region better.

Continuing his search, Wu Yuan's hand closed around a peculiar crystal stone. Releasing his grip, it floated in the air. It was crystal-clear, with a surface that shone with silver light. On the back, a waning moon was faintly engraved.

A Redmoon voidrealm jade. With this, I can access the Redmoon Immortal Realm. A smile spread across Wu Yuan’s features. This was exactly what he wanted the most.

"Qiong Sea, we’re leaving," Wu Yuan declared.

"Master, what about this flying boat?" Qiong Sea King was taken aback.

"The flying boat is already damaged." Wu Yuan said indifferently. "Moreover, we don't have a storage artifact large enough to hold it. It's too inconvenient to carry along."

"Understood." Qiong Sea King nodded.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The man and beast quickly returned to their purple flying boat and headed towards Fengchuan City.

With a rumble, the huge black battleship plummeted.

Not long after, a mortal cultivator stumbled upon the deserted battlefield. Soon, the news spread, quickly attracting a swarm of martial artists and even some Qi Sea cultivators in the area. A frenzy erupted as everyone began vying for the scraps of the battleship and shattered treasures left behind.

This was the norm. What were mere trinkets to the elite were treasures worth fighting for to the lower-level cultivators. Many objects that were considered no better than mud in the eyes of cultivators, were considered natural treasures in the eyes of martial artists.

...

The flying boat sailed through the sky, with Wu Yuan now more alert than ever after this encounter. It was only when they traveled tens of thousands of li without further trouble that his tension eased.

Finally, I’ve regained some calm. Redmoon voidrealm jade? Wu Yuan played with the crystal stone in his hand.

There was only one piece, found in the storage artifact of that Golden Core cultivator.

Let’s give it a try. Wu Yuan sent a thread of consciousness into the crystal stone.

Soon, Wu Yuan felt his consciousness enter a mysterious place. It seemed endlessly far away, yet all-encompassing at the same time.
