Before the crowd had time for astonishment, the talisman crashed into the small ice sword. Melodious shattering resounded.
The manifestation of Bai Wuxue's will broke in half as a purple light flashed.
At the peak of the snow mountain, Bai Wuxue vomited a mouthful of blood. Before he could exclaim in shock, the purple Lightning Talisman struck him.
Electric light exploded out, and the immortal will of thunder's light poured forth. The tall snow mountain immediately melted, and shock waves surged. Bai Wuxue went flying back five kilometers and crashed heavily into a mountainside.
With a loud 'boom, ' the impact cut off the peak, immediately splitting it into halves. The top part of the mountain toppled down violently.
The wind whistled as Xiao Chen charged forward. The talisman automatically returned to his sea of consciousness. When he swung his saber, it was like a crescent moon slicing the sky apart as he chopped the falling mountaintop in half.
Xiao Chen gently drifted up and landed on the broken mountain, beside the thoroughly wounded Bai Wuxue, who was vomiting blood continuously and looking very miserable.
Before everyone's shocked gazes, Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and kicked, sending Bai Wuxue flying off the broken mountain like a sandbag.
As everyone watched Xiao Chen boot off the invalid Bai Wuxue, they remembered Bai Wuxue's words, how whoever challenged him was unfortunate. They could not help but feel the irony in this.
As for who was the unfortunate one, the answer was clear as they watched Bai Wuxue fall.
The Extreme Yin Sect Elder who declared the start of the match stared coldly at Xiao Chen. He gently floated up and caught the heavily injured Bai Wuxue.
The Extreme Yin Sect Elder glanced at Bai Wuxue's injuries. Bai Wuxue had burns all over his body, and his face trembled uncontrollably. Against all expectations, the top true inheritor of the Extreme Yin Sect ended up in such a state. He would need at least a month to recover.
"Damn it!"
The old man's face turned dark, and murderous intent started flashing in his eyes. He looked at Xiao Chen, who was on the broken mountain, and his Heavenly Sage Laws began to dance about behind him.
A vast Spiritual Energy flowed like a gushing river, quickly heading for the Extreme Yin Sect Elder.
"Buzz!"
Just as the Extreme Yin Sect Elder was about to attack, a fiery light flashed from the horizon like a meteor streaking by. It left a beautiful trail of light in the sky.
The fiery light arrived at the Extreme Yin Sect Elder in an instant like a falling star. It was indescribably fast.
This startled the old man into quickly withdrawing his murderous intent. Picking up Bai Wuxue, he pushed off the ground with one leg, and his figure flashed into the air.
The moment the Extreme Yin Sect Elder left, that fiery light landed. The instant it touched the ground, a bottomless finger-sized hole appeared in the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After one second of calm, the ground suddenly cracked in a spiderweb pattern without any warning and exploded.
Rocks shot into the sky, firing out like arrows. A deep, spiral-shaped pit five hundred meters wide appeared. The might of this arrow was incomparable.
"What is the Extreme Yin Sect trying to do? Are you not acknowledging your defeat after your loss? The rules of the challenge peak were set by the Martial God Palace. The disciples of every sect are free to make a challenge; their life or death is up to heaven. They will settle their grudges in a fair manner. The Elders of the sect are not allowed to interfere."
Just when the old man was about to burst out in rage, a clear and attractive voice rang out. Riding the Profound Sun Bird, Shui Lingling appeared above his head and pointed her purple bow at him expressionlessly.
The surrounding cultivators watching could not help finding this interesting. Could this Extreme Yin Sect be planning to commit a great taboo, defying the rules that the Martial God Palace had set?
"Girl from the Supreme Sky Sect, don't be too overbearing. Naturally, the Extreme Yin Sect will not do such a disreputable thing. The Extreme Yin Sect can afford to lose and so does Bai Wuxue."
A resonant voice came from the distance, moving closer as a skinny old man with a sullen expression walked over.
When the distant cultivators saw this person's face, they unconsciously took a few more steps back. A trace of deep fear flashed in their eyes.
"The Extreme Yin Old Man. He actually came out."
"This is normal. Bai Wuxue is his best disciple. With Bai Wuxue injured to this extent, he has to come out."
"However, Xiao Chen is also quite surprising."
The Extreme Yin Old Man was an expert second only to Martial Emperors in the Tianwu Domain. In this age where the Martial Emperors were fighting bravely in the starry heavens, wandering about, he represented the peak fighting force of the Kunlun Realm.
When facing this person, all it took was one glance, and one would feel tremendous pressure. Shui Lingling suppressed the panic in her heart and said, "Many thanks for Senior's magnanimity. Xiao Chen, let's return to the Supreme Sky Sect."
Xiao Chen gently pushed off the broken mountain and landed on the Profound Sun Bird's back. He discovered there were many familiar people on the bird's back.
Aside from Jun Si, Yue Chenxi and Gong Yangyu were there too. When Xiao Chen looked at their identity medallions, he realized that after not seeing them for a year, they had become true inheritors. It looked like gold would shine no matter where it was.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Xiao!"
A few people congratulated Xiao Chen. He replied to all of them. These were all familiar people; there was no need to be overly reserved.
Shui Lingling looked cautiously at the Extreme Yin Old Man. She did not say anything more as she controlled the Profound Sun Bird to spread its wings and turn into a beam of azure light as it flew into the distance.
After all, this area was the Extreme Yin Sect's territory. While the sect would not dare do anything in the open, it might still try something in the shadows. An early departure was best.
As the cultivators who came over to take part in the excitement watched the Supreme Sky Sect group leave, their expressions all revealed extremely complicated feelings.
Originally, these cultivators had thought there would be nothing much too see. They had not expected the battle to turn out to be so intense with many extremely thrilling twists and turns. In the end, the results were also surprising.
Bai Wuxue exhibited the will of ice and made a great counterattack. With this, everyone thought that he would win. Who would have imagined that Xiao Chen actually comprehended a will as well?
Furthermore, Xiao Chen's will of thunder was much stronger than Bai Wuxue's will of ice. On contact, Bai Wuxue's will of ice shattered.
Wills were things that took form. If it was damaged, it would injure the cultivator's Lifeforce Origin. This sort of injury might damage Bai Wuxue's cultivation, causing him a heavy loss.
Of the seven giants, Bai Wuxue was the next after An Junxi to comprehend a will. His future should have been very bright.
Bai Wuxue had wanted to use this battle to make Xiao Chen his stepping stone, to achieve instant success and rocket to the top.
However, who could have imagined that the results would be the complete opposite? Bai Wuxue became Xiao Chen's stepping stone, boosting his fame instead.
After today, the name White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen would shake the entire Tianwu Domain. He would gain the attention of every major faction, and his reputation would rival that of An Junxi.
The crowd slowly scattered. Soon, this extraordinarily bustling challenge peak quietened down.
As the old man held on to Bai Wuxue, he asked with a sullen expression, "First Elder, are we really just letting that brat leave like that? This feels very unsatisfying."
At the foot of the challenge peak, many figures arrived. All of them had strong, terrifying auras; all of them were actually Superior Grade Martial Sages.
These were all major characters of the Extreme Yin Sect. Any one of them could dominate the twenty-seven northern provinces.
At this moment, all these strong Martial Sages cast their gazes on the Extreme Yin Old Man. With just one word from him, these people would instantly chase after Xiao Chen and squash him to death like an ant, not leaving him any path to life.
The Extreme Yin Old Man glanced at the feeble Bai Wuxue. His thin face looked extremely terrifying. He slowly said, "There is no need. The will clone of the Supreme Sky Emperor is definitely with that girl, Shui Lingling. Even if you all go, you will not be able to stop her."
"However, Bai Wuxue is this heavily injured. How can he participate in the Sage War a month from now? Our Extreme Yin Sect is relying on him to obtain a spot."
"Indeed. If the two Supreme Elders in closed-door cultivation hear of this, they will definitely question us about it."
These major characters of the Extreme Yin Sect all spoke up one after another, clearly dissatisfied.
"Ignorants!"
The Extreme Yin OId Man's face sank, and he snorted coldly. Everyone felt his anger and shut up.
"Even if we kill that brat, can Wuxue obtain a spot? You don't have to worry about that. In the first place, the will of thunder has a suppressive effect on the will of ice. It is good that Wuxue is injured. Without destruction, there can be no construction. This matter will calm him down."
Without destruction, there can be no construction.
Something seemed to occur to the old man carrying Bai Wuxue. His expression changed as he said, "First Elder, you mean..."
The Extreme Yin Old Man replied indifferently, "Coincidentally, Wuxue's will of ice is broken. I can use the time it reforms to think of a way to insert in another attribute."
When the others heard this, their eyes could not help lighting up. If they could add another attribute, like light, massacre, destruction, darkness, or ruin, then Bai Wuxue would have found blessings amid disaster. His strength would rise explosively, and he would stand a greater chance at obtaining a spot.
"However, if the attribute is not comprehended personally but forcefully infused in, it would be like drinking poison in the hope of quenching one's thirst. It will become a big obstacle to Wuxue's growth, " an Elder said somewhat worriedly.
[Note: Drinking poison in the hope of quenching one's thirst: This means a supposed remedy that only makes matters worse. ]
The Extreme Yin Old Man smiled mysteriously and said, "I have my ways. Just wait for it to happen. This battle is nothing. The most important thing is who has the last laugh."
------
As the azure Profound Sun Bird traveled through the clouds of the beautiful sky and gentle breezes, Xiao Chen stood on the Profound Sun Bird and shared his experiences over the past year with his friends from the Supreme Sky Sect.
From the moment he departed from the Supreme Sky Sect and entered the Savage Beast Forest to now, the year felt like just a moment to him.
This feeling became even more intense as he spoke about his experiences. It gave him some comprehensions about the great Dao, an understanding of how available time passed.
On the path to the top, there would be many years like this, where one might be bitterly cultivating or seeking fortuitous encounters. It might even be a hundred years, but it would all pass in a flash.
After the Profound Sun Bird flew for two days, it landed at a provincial capital with a transportation formation. There, Shui Lingling spent a large number of Spirit Stones to have the group sent directly to the Supreme Sky Province.
The familiar silhouette of Supreme Sky City appeared in Xiao Chen's vision once again. The members of the group took their leave from one another, and Xiao Chen also prepared to return to his courtyard to get a good rest.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, wait for a while."
Shui Lingling, who had been quiet along the way, smiled gently as she stopped Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Shui Lingling."First Senior Sister, is something the matter?"
Given the close distance, Xiao Chen did not dare to look Shui Lingling straight in the eye. A girl like her had an inexplicable charm.
Shui Lingling nodded and said, "Wait for a while. I'll bring you to a place. The inner sect's First Elder wants to see you."
