Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 422 - Below the Five Decays, Just a Bug!

With this move, Tian Yuxue nearly demonstrated the strongest combat power beneath the state of Five Decays, indeed eliciting a wave of admiration.

Martial Technique, Snow Domain Meteor!

Tian Yuxue shook her spear, and snow and fire scattered from it, forming a divine realm. Within this realm, cold snow and frost stars fell like meteors, aiming straight for Yun Xiao!

Yun Xiao was trapped in the center of the snowstorm! He looked at the approaching Tian Yuxue and suddenly closed his eyes.

HUM! Amidst the swirling snow and wind, the Sword Soul in his hand transformed into a Palm Sword, thrusting into the air!

The Palm Sword vibrated, and the sword turned into a mysterious brilliance, opening a cloud of ice and fire interwoven fog. Within the fog, the sword shone like stars, also like meteors from heaven and earth bursting forth!

KLANG! KLANG !KLANG! The sword and spear collided dozens of times in the air in an instant!

Each collision burst forth like stars.

"Snow Domain Meteor?" Tian Yuxue exclaimed, shocking her out of her anger. Her every thrust was precisely met by Yun Xiao's sword tip. How could this be? Unless Yun Xiao used the exact same martial technique as her!

She was slightly confused in the fight, but the spectators in the guest area saw everything clearly.

"Tian Yulan, how does he know your martial technique?" Celestial Official Qin asked, frowning.

"Impossible! This move is only passed down to women and must not be disclosed..." Tian Yulan's lips slightly parted, her brows deeply furrowed.

While they were still astonished, Yun Xiao and Tian Yuxue continued their fight.

"You are no match for me, don't bother trying. It's time for the others to take over," Yun Xiao said coldly, his swordplay as agile as a dragon, floating amidst the ice and snow.

"Do not insult me, villain!" Tian Yuxue grew even angrier upon hearing this and launched another move.

Jade Sun High Illumination!

From the sky, Tian Yuxue's spear came crashing down, like a setting sun piercing through.

Yun Xiao stood atop the ice and snow, his sword piercing the sky, masterfully copying this technique as well!

BOOM! Tian Yuxue was sent flying into the air, her blood and qi in turmoil.

"I can't be bothered to kill you, get lost," Yun Xiao said with a frown.

"Stop your nonsense!" Seeing Yun Xiao even utilizing Jade Sun High Illumination, Tian Yuxue was on the verge of a mental collapse. In her fury, she retaliated with another move, sending a snowstorm raging towards him.

Blizzard Torrent!

"Boring." Yun Xiao flicked his sword, his figure becoming one with the storm, the azure Sword Aura forming a tornado.

As Tian Yuxue's Blizzard Torrent was just beginning, he countered with the same move, his Sword Aura dissolving the snowstorm and piercing straight at Tian Yuxue's throat!

BUZZ! The tip of the sword penetrated slightly!

Even so, the chaotic Sword Aura left dense blood marks on Tian Yuxue's neck!

"Uh..." Tian Yuxue's spear came to an abrupt halt, her body stiffened, the pain in her throat almost convincing her she had been pierced through!

WHOOSH! In the guest area, Tian Yulan suddenly stood up, her breathing heavy, chest heaving.

Yun Xiao's sword had not fully struck! Yet, her back was covered in sweat.

The entire scene left all the spectators breathless.

"Why, didn't you kill me..." Tian Yuxue stared at him, perplexed.

"No reason, whether I kill or not is up to me; this time, I just didn't feel like it." After speaking, Yun Xiao withdrew his sword, decisively.

"Nonsense." Tian Yuxue, clutching her neck, looked at Yun Xiao dimly, "I know the reason."

"What reason?" Yun Xiao was taken aback.

"I'm a woman, and you're a lecher!" Tian Yuxue said with a mix of sadness and anger.

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately drew his Heaven Burial Sword Soul to attack Tian Yuxue, "Damn it, don't run, I want to kill you now!"

"Stop!" This time, someone stood in front of Yun Xiao, it was Uncle River.

He warned, "The victory is already decided, to continue fighting would be illegal."

"Fine..." Yun Xiao glared at Tian Yuxue. "Just don't spout nonsense, tarnishing my reputation."

Tian Yuxue stood frozen, unsure of her feelings at the moment. Suddenly, she burst into tears. While crying, she ran to her mother, Tian Yulan, and lay weeping on her lap.

"She was actually brought to tears by Yun Xiao..."

"Yun Xiao copied her every move, and he performed them better than her. Fighting like this, anyone would have a mental breakdown. I'd cry too."

"Who would have thought the useless man Lian Xi picked up was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing? What is his true level?"

In an instant, many people's views on Yun Xiao had completely changed.

Winning two matches in a row, he smoothly made it into the top eight.

Clearly, the manner of Tian Yuxue's defeat made the high officials of the academy look even more grim. Their gazes fell on Can Nian.

Can Nian's written exam score wasn't high, but according to the current rankings, after making it into the top eight, he would compete with Yun Xiao for a spot in the top four!

"It must be that he's unbeatable in the Saint Wheel Realm, definitely not the Five Decays Realm; he doesn't have the power of the Five Decays, and his sacred power hasn't undergone any tribulations," Qin Ziyue said coldly.

"Those not in the Five Decays are but ants. Don't worry," Can Nian said.

"Don't be careless," Tian Zhixiu advised.

"Mhm." Can Nian nodded. He was confident, but he wouldn't underestimate his opponent.

"He didn't dare to kill Yuxue, which shows he's just bluffing, picking on the weaker ones," Qin Ziyue sneered.

"He's smart, but he overplayed his hand." After saying this, Can Nian turned to the Pathseeker Society members behind him, "Hurry up and finish the act, then get down."

There could only be one new Crown selected, and here, aside from Tian Zhixiu, everyone else was just running alongside.

Their participation in the battle was merely to legitimize Tian Zhixiu's position. Now, with Yun Xiao disrupting the scene, they had become irrelevant.

In the blink of an eye, it was the quarterfinals!

It was Yun Xiao versus Can Nian, who was in the Five Decays Realm!

This was going to be the most intense clash yet! The audience could see it.

"This Crown selection has turned into Yun Xiao taking on the Pathseeker Society alone!"

"Truly fierce, one man standing against a barrage from the other side."

"That's not quite it. If he gets past Can Nian, he'll face Tian Zhixiu, whose written score isn't as high as Qin Ziyue's. The next challenge would then be Tian Zhixiu."

"You really think he can get past Can Nian?"

This comment had most people shaking their heads.

"Getting hopeful might be good, but the Five Decays is a chasm. Anyone who enters the Five Decays is battling against heaven itself; they're not on the same level..."

"The three presidents of the Pathseeker Society represent the face of the Three Great Ruins!"

Amidst the passionate discussions of the crowd, Yun Xiao and Can Nian stepped into the arena.

"My son!" A voice from the guest area, that of the Drunken Mad Sword, could be heard.

Can Nian looked back to see his father lounging, swinging a wine jug in one hand, smiling and saying, "Relax."

"Got it. Just a small bump in the road." Can Nian grinned.

This relaxed demeanor of father and son made many in the audience even more nervous.

In the path of cultivation, confidence was indeed necessary! And both father and son exuded supreme confidence.

In contrast, Yun Xiao remained calm... Was he feeling the real pressure now?

WHOOSH! After sharing a laugh with his father, Can Nian turned back to Yun Xiao. The joy in his eyes suddenly turned into a deadly chill!

Can Nian and Yun Xiao were both known for their unyielding spirits! Clashing head-on, with absolutely no nonsense!

At the first moment their gazes collided, both drew their swords.

Yun Xiao, in flowing white robes, with his azure sword cutting across the sky, was like an Immortal descending from a painting.

Can Nian, in swirling black robes, wielding his sword in both hands, was like an emperor among swords!

His Sword Soul was gold on one side and black on the other. Although it was a long sword, it was incredibly thick, like a steel mountain. Its surface shone brilliantly, with 400,000 layers of gold and black Sword Aura howling and swirling around it, its imperial majesty vast, commanding the world!

"Sunset Sword Soul, at the Mid Yang grade!"

The crowd was amazed.

The Yang grade was already an Emperor among Sword Souls, and reaching the Mid Yang grade was naturally nearing the pinnacle of swords!

"And there are seven Yin grade Immortal Sword Rings..."

The disciples of the Primordial Academy could only look on with deep envy at these seven Sword Rings.

These existed beyond the Calamity Sword Rings, like seven giant demons of the mountain seas, encircling Can Nian, their demonic aura overwhelming, scrutinizing Yun Xiao!

"To kill you, I'll only need one sword!" Can Nian stood bathed in the gold and black radiance, his face aglow with a fierce light.

BOOM! The moment after he spoke, the power of the Five Decays Realm erupted from him, a terrifying force of decay and disaster that surpassed sacred power in its destructive power.

When it surged into the Sunset Sword Soul, Can Nian transformed into an emperor among thousands of armies.

With a step, he moved like a blazing divine light towards Yun Xiao, his swordplay wide and powerful, unleashing a devastating slash!

In an instant, thousands of sword rays converged, birthing gold and black fury, the demon magics of the Sword Rings forming seven storms around the sword, creating a giant wheel of wind and fire, slashing towards Yun Xiao!

BUZZ! The power of this sword shocked the entire arena, causing an uproar.

However, in the center of this gold and black fiery storm, Yun Xiao remained unchanged in expression.

KLANG! KLANG! KLANG! He closed his eyes once again, seemingly ignoring Can Nian's Emperor's Wrathful Sword Fire, his hand holding an azure blade that seemed to dance like a dragon, swirling and floating in his grip!

"The mother of heaven and earth, born from the Primordial, the beginning of the Dao, eternal and boundless..."

The primordial was a type of original force; it was a vortex, an essence, a cycle of power, and perhaps a fate.

This was also a part of the Creator Immortal!

When Yun Xiao wielded his sword in this manner, it was perfectly natural, as if a drunkard dancing with his sword, immersed in his own world. Where the azure blade pointed, an azure-colored primordial vortex was born around him, thousands of sword rays swimming like fish in this vortex, everything seemingly returning to the origin!

In his leisurely swordplay, he crafted a world without bounds. At that moment, with his white robe fluttering and his long hair dancing, his divine beauty seemed to defy the heavens, as if he were creating a world anew!

Under such a sword vortex, Can Nian's violent strike appeared crude and graceless, like a savage's chop!

In that instant, the entire audience stood up.

"The Primordial Triforce Sword!!"

A wave of disbelief and tearful joy swept through the assembly square.

Countless elders burst into tears on the spot!

"What is this..." Can Nian, inheritor of the First Emperor Sword Art of the Human Zenith Immortal, couldn't comprehend this sword's primordial vortex at all!

BOOM! His violent slash was met with Yun Xiao's maneuvering, as he lightly flicked his sword, unleashing thousands of azure sword rays!

KLANG! KLANG! KLANG! In an instant, Yun Xiao soared up, his eyes as deep as a sea of swords, pressing down with a sword that was both free-spirited and dazzling!

The azure sword vortex instantly engulfed Can Nian's technique, piercing through his heart with a thousand swords in a moment!

"Ah...?" Can Nian's expression shifted dramatically. "Dad—!"

Before he could cry out, the azure storm swept over his body, and with a buzz, his figure disintegrated into dust!

With one sword, Can Nian was obliterated in body and soul! The ashes drifted down, neatly arranging themselves on the ground to form a single sentence.

「To kill you, I too, only need one sword!」
