Chapter 1159: Fighting Ye Zhu, Suppressing Ye Zhu, Ye Zhu Unleashed All His Cultivation
At the Battle Peak, Chu Kuangren and Ye Zhu were a few hundred meters apart.
However, their respective energies clashed against each other, causing their swords to rattle.
Neither of them had made a move, but their invisible auras alone could already distort space.
“The strongest of Three Clarity Daoist Sect’s younger generation, huh? You’re a lot more interesting than Hu Qing,” Chu Kuangren said.
“It is unfair for me, who has broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, to fight you, an Earthen Immortal. Therefore, I will hold back,” Ye Zhu said calmly.
To keep his pride, he refused to bully someone weaker than himself.
Chu Kuangren chuckled upon hearing Ye Zhu. “This is the first time I’ve heard someone wanting to hold back against me. A piece of advice? You should give it your best, or you won’t last a few moves.”
“Oh? I’d like to find out.”
Chu Kuangren’s words challenged Ye Zhu’s pride.
Ye Zhu tightened his grip over his bamboo staff, and surges of sharp sword qi flowed through it.
…
Chu Kuangren pointed out his sword hand sign, transforming Heavenly Intents into Sword Intent, which further transformed into a boundless sword qi aura that swept out in all directions.
“Fight!”
Ye Zhu’s voice started the fight on Battle Peak.
He raised his hand and swung his bamboo staff forward, unleashing a torrential wave of sword qi. In less than a fraction of time, he had dashed toward Chu Kuangren.
The technique he used was the level of a Ninth-grade Earthen Immortal.
In response to Ye Zhu’s approach, Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign forward. A violet sword ray shot out and crushed Ye Zhu’s sword qi.
The collision between the two sword qi left many sword marks on the ground, and the whole Battle Peak started to tremble.
Further away, Master Daoist Qing Ling raised his hand to form a seal and insert it into Battle Peak to stabilize the mountain.
Otherwise, not only Battle Peak but even the mountains across hundreds of thousands of kilometers would crumble because of their battle.
Amidst the sword qi clashing, the two figures, one in white and the other in green, approached each other.
One of them held a bamboo staff while the other simply pointed out his sword hand sign.
In the next moment, the staff and the finger collided.
Bang!
A stronger and more violent sword qi erupted.
However, what happened next shocked everyone.
After the collision, Chu Kuangren’s sword hand sign successfully overpowered Ye Zhu. The powerful blast sent Ye Zhu flying backward for more than a dozen meters.
Then, Chu Kuangren channeled his Immortal’s Core energy. Violet sword rays shot out from his sword hand sign, and each of the rays carried a domineering aura.
Ye Zhu swung his bamboo staff in a flurry to fend off the sword qis.
Everyone could tell that he had been overpowered.
“Senior Brother Ye has been overpowered?!”
“How is this possible?!”
The Three Clarity Daoist Sect disciples could not believe what they were witnessing.
On the other hand, Master Daoist Qing Ling shook his head. “Ye Zhu is too proud. He doesn’t want to fight his opponent with his Heavenly Immortal’s strength.”
Since the two of them were using their Ninth-grade Earthen Immortal cultivation realm to battle each other, he did not expect Ye Zhu to be overpowered to such an extent.
It only proved how terrifying Chu Kuangren’s combat strength was within the same cultivation realm.
He was almost invincible!
“Ha! This kid is growing faster than I expected,” Bei Ming said with a delightful grin.
“Sword-like Heavenly Intent!”
Chu Kuangren raised his hand to unleash another attack. This time, the sharpness of his sword qi was far stronger than before, and it even contained the presence of another energy that all the Three Clarity Daoist Sect disciples were familiar with.
It even shared similarities with Ye Zhu’s energy.
“T-This is the energy of Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture!” one of the elders blurted in horror.
Master Daoist Qing Ling’s expression turned grim. “It’s not just the Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture. It’s the most complete version there is! Compared to Ye Zhu, Chu Kuangren’s version is purer!”
There was a secret that only the higher-ups of Three Clarity Daoist Sect shared.
One of the three Immortal Scriptures that formed the foundation of Three Clarity Daoist Sect, the Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture, was incomplete.
Although it was fixed by the great ones of later generations and could still bring out the scripture’s power, its power was not as powerful as the original version.
Ye Zhu cultivated the Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture.
“How is this possible? The Prime Clarity Spiritual Scripture was found incomplete a long time ago. Even after we combined the sects from the Fragmented Immortal Worlds, we still couldn’t repair the original version of the scripture.”
“How could he…”
The elders were baffled.
However, the battle continued.
Ye Zhu blocked Chu Kuangren’s second attack, but he had it worse than before as he was sent flying with blood spurting out from his mouth. He was obviously injured.
“I said you should give it your best,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
He was intrigued to fight Ye Zhu in his Heavenly Immortal Realm and prepared to take it seriously.
The Ninth-grade Earthen Immortal Ye Zhu did not interest him at all.
“Hmph. I guess I have to,” Ye Zhu said with a chuckle.
No matter how proud he was, he had since realized the difference in their strength. Even if he used his trump card as an Earthen Immortal, he would still not be Chu Kuangren’s match.
“In that case, please enlighten me!” Ye Zhu shouted.
From then on, he did not hold back his cultivation level. Emerald sword qi spread from him and scattered in all directions in waves.
Master Daoist Qing Ling channeled his Immortal’s Core energy to form a spheric barrier to keep Chu Kuangren and Ye Zhu inside and limit the energy fluctuations from escaping.
Inside the barrier, Ye Zhu unleashed his full cultivation potential, and the terrifying sword qi wreaked havoc in the void. At that moment, he looked like a supreme sword god of some kind.
Each strand of sword qi contained the power to rip a planet into two.
The Three Clarity Daoist Sect disciples were in awe at the scene.
“So this is Senior Brother Ye unleashing his power as a Heavenly Immortal? He’s so powerful! I think one strand of sword qi will be all it takes to overpower me!”
“I’ve seen quite a number of Heavenly Immortals, but other than those top-notch ones, no one else is a match for Senior Brother Ye.”
Even between Heavenly Immortals, there was a strength difference.
When the top-notch sky-pride reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, their powers would surely surpass the common Heavenly Immortals.
It was without a doubt that Ye Zhu was one of those top-notch sky-prides.
With the bamboo staff in hand, Ye Zhu looked at Chu Kuangren with sword qi swirling around him. There was a crack appeared on his bamboo staff.
Then, the staff crumbled to reveal a green sword, which was the true form of the bamboo staff.
“The sword’s name is Bamboo Green!”
“Aren’t you going to draw your sword?” Ye Zhu asked.
Chu Kuangren chuckled and put his hand on the hilt of the Descendant Self Sword. “I can win without drawing my sword, but since it’s not often I run into a Sword Dao master in the younger generations, I’ll grant your wish.”
After that, he unsheathed the Descendant Self Sword from his waist.
A rampant sword pressure gushed from the blade.
The swords in the other cultivators’ possession started to tremble.
“Sword Dao Immortal Physique?” Master Daoist Qing Ling frowned. “Other than Heavenly Samsara Physique, he also has Sword Dao Immortal Physique?”
Beside him, one of the elders said, “However, if it’s just the Sword Dao Immortal Physique, he’s no match for Ye Zhu.”
“That’s right.”
The other elders adhered. They knew that behind Ye Zhu’s eyes contained a terrifying amount of Sword Dao energy.
“The sword’s name is Descendant Self,” Chu Kuangren said with the sword in his hand.
Descendant Self Sword responded by shaking in response like it was excited about the upcoming battle.
“It’s a good sword. It may not be high in level, but it has endless potential,” Ye Zhu said.
With a sharp sense for swords, he could sense that the Descendant Self Sword in Chu Kuangren’s hand might be an Earthen Immortal Weapon but forged with great materials, and its sword soul was perfect and profound — it had enormous growth potential.
