Chapter 362: I’ve Read Four Scrolls of Heavenly Book
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Ordinary cultivators were no match for demons since each demon mastered the laws of nature of one place, and that was their innate ability.
The super spiritual spells derived from the laws of nature possessed horrifying power which was not on the same level as the ones cast by ordinary cultivators.
“That wastrel only got one trace of my power,” the huge face in the sky said in contempt. “But the woman standing before you is my masterpiece, so don’t compare her with that trash.”
With a crisp yell, Shui Xianyun emitted a level of demonic presence which was many times more powerful than the one Feng Zhengyi released, and her face turned wicked while ink-black scales grew between her eyebrows and on her arms and neck.
Her limbs turned into sharp claws, and a slim and long tail extended from her back; her white hair turned dark-red in the demonic presence and fluttered in the violent winds. The strong winds in the sky seemed to hear her summon and turned into many wind blades around her. Her whole body looked more like a demon than Feng Zhengyi had been!
The cultivators near her could feel the luring presence emitting from her and the many low demonic murmurs whispering at their ears; if they were not careful, they would lose their minds.
Seeing the cultivators’ horrified faces, Shui Xianyun’s extremely demonic face revealed an evil and exaggerated smile. “How do you feel? I just unleashed only a tiny bit of my power.”
“Master… such a horrifying aura!” Behind her master, Mo Xian’s pretty face paled since her cultivation strength was way lower than Shui Xianyun’s. The disciples like her found it hard to withstand this horrifying suppression.
“Hahahaha!” In the sky, Shui Xianyun laughed hysterically. “Now, I’ll show you what the true power of the heaven and the earth is like!”
Seeing Shui Xianyun’s aura violently expanded, the cultivators looked at each other.
The Xichi Spiritual Master flew over and said, “Senior Sister, I’ve obtained some inspirations about the laws governing the heaven and the earth lately, and I’d like to practice with you for a few rounds. If I lose, I have nothing to say. But if I luck out and defeat you…”
The Xichi Spiritual Master looked at the cultivators of various factions who had been trapped by Demon Trapping Curse but were still moving restlessly. “Senior Sister, can you release these people for the sake of our past friendship as peers and friends?”
“Junior Sister Xichi,” Shui Xianyun said with a sneer. “Ever since you entered the faction, you’ve never been my match. Now that I got endless holy power, how can you make a bet against me?”
Cold glints flashed in her eyes while she glanced at the cultivators around her. “If you are defeated, you must join me with all the cultivators in our faction. If you agree, I will fight with you.”
The expressions of Wang Lingxiao and others turned dark.
“What? You don’t dare to take the bet?” Shui Xianyun said with a sneer, “Then, all of you can come and fight me!”
Wang Lingxiao and the others began to discuss the matter. “Junior Sister, this is a battle on the mastery of laws governing the heaven and the earth. Are you sure that you can defeat her?”
The Xichi Spiritual Master said in a low voice, “If Senior Sister uses unorthodox evil techniques, we might not be able to deal with her. However, as for the understanding of the laws of nature, I’m quite confident since I’ve read four scrolls of Heavenly Book already.”
“Four…” The others looked at each other and asked, “Aren’t there only three scrolls? Where’s the fourth scroll?”
“Jade Dynasty released another scroll recently. Didn’t you watch it?”
“Ugh…” They looked embarrassed since they had forgotten to watch the TV Series while they spent all their time on competing outside Half City.
“Have you made a decision? Don’t stall!” Shui Xianyun looked impatient.
“Okay… Okay!” Wang Lingxiao immediately said, “We accept your condition!”
“Really?!” After all, humans’ understanding of the laws of nature was absolutely no match for the demons who were born with this knowledge. Shui Xianyun had gained a good understanding of the laws of nature. Now with the great demon power inside her, someone still dared to challenge her, which was indeed ridiculous in her eyes. “Then, I’ll see how much improvement Junior Sister Xichi has gained.”
Contemptuous, she waved her hand and formed a spell; many wind blades shot toward the Xichi Spiritual Master with whistling sounds.
“This is our faction’s Flowing Wind Spell,” Wang Lingxiao said in surprise.
“Is it very powerful?” Tianxu Daoist asked curiously, “How come I’ve never heard of it before?”
Wang Lingxiao looked grim. “It is only an ordinary spell in our faction, but with her understanding of the laws of nature, it has horrifying power in her hand!”
“I’ll show you the gap between us with the simplest spell!” Shui Xianyun waved her arm. “Go!”
Without an expression on her face, the Xichi Spiritual Master cast a spell with one hand gesturing before her chest.
Gentle breeze surrounded her. When the many wind blades came, they all sank into this layer of gentle breeze silently, like a mud doll melting in water.
“What’s… this spell?!” Shui Xianyun’s expression changed slightly.
“Breeze Spell,” the Xichi Spiritual Master answered.
Tianxu Daoist was even more puzzled. “Do you have such a powerful spell in the Nanhua Faction?”
“This is the Breeze Spell, an ordinary spell in our faction,” Wang Lingxiao said in a low voice while his face twitched. “I’m surprised that Junior Sister Xichi could cast it with such great power by putting her understanding of the ultimate Dao expressed in the Heavenly Book in the spell!”
Shui Xianyun had thought that her spell would at least force the Xichi Spiritual Master to be on a frantic defense if not defeating her. However, to her surprise, the Xichi Spiritual Master had easily blocked it!
“I didn’t know that you’ve been secretly cultivating this basic spell with great efforts! Good for you!” With a cold face, Shui Xianyun let out a shrill, and endless horrifying dark-red demonic mist gushed out from her body. The ink-black clouds in the sky merged with this horrifying demonic mist and condensed into a huge demon claw!
She looked like a demon, and demonic power was flowing in her body. She could now imitate the powerful techniques of demons. The huge claw crashed down from the sky with vicious force, and the Xichi Spiritual Master felt a horrifying pressure pressing down like a mountain, leaving her no time to dodge!
“I’ll see how you deal with this one!”
“Great heavenly power, turn into godly lightning and follow the direction of my sword!” Suddenly, a streak of horrifying spiritual essence surged from the Xichi Spiritual Master while she pointed her index and middle finger into the sky and took steps according to the pattern of seven stars!
The sky suddenly opened with lightning bolts flashing and dark clouds rolling in a vortex; it looked as if a huge lightning eye appeared in the sky!
An extremely thick lightning bolt followed the sword energy and viciously crashed onto the horrifying demonic claw!
Boom!
With an explosion, the demonic claw broke under the horrifying force and smashed onto a nearby mountain!
It gradually disappeared after knocking down and collapsing the whole mountain.
At this moment, Shui Xianyun’s pale face turned to a scary white!
“Impossible!” Shui Xianyun said, “This isn’t the Nanhua Faction’s spiritual spell!”
“Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell?!” The cultivators from the major factions exclaimed in astonishment.
The Xichi Spiritual Master said to them, “I’ve just learned it, and I’m not too proficient with it yet. Sorry for my inexperience.”
Shui Xianyun was dumbfounded.
“What are you waiting for?! Use your full force!” A roar resonated in the sky as the huge demon yelled impatiently.
Shui Xianyun was furious that after gaining so much strength, she couldn’t even defeat her junior sister who had been no match for her in the past!
She let out a high-pitched roar while small scales spread all over her body. Her previous shape still resembled the human shape, but now she had turned into a monster.
