Chapter 302: Trembling Heart!
The entire island echoed with Cloud Sky’s screams of agony.
Everyone looked at Fang Yu with nothing but terror in their eyes.
It was terrifying, truly terrifying.
In front of Fang Yu, Cloud Sky was like a punching bag, completely powerless to fight back.
Without even the slightest ability to retaliate.
And this time, unlike before when Cloud Sky deliberately allowed himself to be hit.
This time, Cloud Sky’s screams were unbearably miserable.
Master Wunian, who was closest to the scene, had nothing but shock in his eyes.
Among those present, he was the one who understood this battle most clearly.
At first, Cloud Sky indeed deliberately allowed himself to be hit, hoping to gain stronger power through this method.
In fact, Cloud Sky’s intention succeeded; he was indeed beaten badly, and the energy within his body reached its peak.
But unexpectedly, even after multiplying his power several times, he was still no match for Fang Yu!
In the subsequent exchanges, he was once again brutally beaten by Fang Yu.
From this point on, Cloud Sky being beaten by Fang Yu was no longer intentional.
Cloud Sky… was truly no match for Fang Yu, no matter how powerful the energy within him became!
“This young man… who exactly is he?”
Master Wunian watched Fang Yu’s figure, his heart trembling uncontrollably.
“Bang!”
Fang Yu slammed Cloud Sky into the ground once more.
At this point, the only part of Cloud Sky that still resembled a human was his pair of eyes.
He looked at Fang Yu, no longer with confidence in his eyes, only extreme fear!
Against Fang Yu, he had absolutely no chance of winning.
Enduring intense pain again and again, stimulating his body’s potential to gain stronger power.
This method, in most cases, was worthwhile.
Because, when his power increased to a certain level, he would definitely be able to kill his opponent!
But now, facing Fang Yu, he felt nothing but utter despair!
No matter how brutal the attacks he suffered, no matter how many times his power increased, he was still no match for Fang Yu!
Fang Yu didn’t even need to furrow his brow to defeat him!
This caused Cloud Sky’s psychology to completely collapse.
In the technique he mastered, psychological endurance was a crucial component.
The reason he could easily withstand many attacks was because he firmly believed that his body could quickly repair itself and become stronger.
With this belief, he could endure the intense pain.
But now, his psychological defense had crumbled.
He realized that taking these beatings was completely pointless!
The increased power was simply not enough to counter Fang Yu!
As a result, his belief completely collapsed, and he could no longer endure the excruciating pain!
Cloud Sky lay on the ground, his body twitching slightly.
Even the strongest technique has its limits.
Today, his body had been damaged to an extreme degree and with excessive frequency.
At this moment, not only had his psychology collapsed, but even his technique had failed.
Fang Yu looked at Cloud Sky, his eyes showing not the slightest ripple of emotion.
“Who, who exactly are you?” Cloud Sky asked in an extremely hoarse voice.
The fact that he could still speak at this point was already a miracle.
“I am Fang Yu, you should know me,” Fang Yu said calmly.
Fang Yu!?
Hearing this name, Cloud Sky felt a fear originating from his very soul.
He suddenly recalled a figure!
That was the last scene his soul saw before falling into slumber.
Inside the Purple Flame Palace, blood was everywhere.
A figure holding a long sword was fighting with several elders of the sect in mid-air.
These elders were cut down one by one by that figure, completely powerless to resist!
Just like Cloud Sky today, even though they mastered the secret techniques of the Purple Flame Palace, they could never defeat their opponent, until their psychology completely collapsed, and they died miserably!
That figure was deeply imprinted in Cloud Sky’s soul.
However, after sleeping for over two thousand years, Cloud Sky had somewhat forgotten the specific appearance of that figure.
But now, looking at Fang Yu before him, he very easily merged the two figures together.
The fear from his soul told him… Fang Yu… this seemingly young man before him, was the same Fang Yu who had brought their entire Purple Flame Palace to the brink of destruction!
No wonder he was so powerful, no wonder he only had Qi Condensation realm cultivation!
“How are you still alive!? How is it possible that you’re still alive!?” Cloud Sky looked at Fang Yu, shouting in panic.
“You’re all still alive, why can’t I be?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
“This is impossible… this is impossible! You only have Qi Condensation realm cultivation, how could you still be alive…” Cloud Sky muttered.
The reason he could still be alive was because of soul power.
When the Purple Flame Palace was about to collapse, the Supreme Elder gathered several core disciples, used a secret technique to extract their souls, sealed them in containers, and then they fell into a dormant state.
Until more than two thousand years later, his soul finally awakened and possessed someone else’s body, looking for an opportunity to complete the revival plan that the Supreme Elder had entrusted to them.
Strictly speaking, Cloud Sky was indeed still alive, but in a different form.
But Fang Yu before him had exactly the same appearance as before, without even showing signs of aging!
Two thousand years! A full two thousand years had passed!
In this time, even the hardest stone would be weathered by the wind, let alone a human!
Fang Yu was merely at the Qi Condensation realm, not an immortal.
How could he possibly not age?
“Tell me, how many others like you are there in the Purple Flame Palace? Also, what exactly is the Purple Flame Palace’s revival plan?” Fang Yu asked.
Hearing these two questions, Cloud Sky’s heart trembled violently!
How did Fang Yu even know about the revival plan!?
This plan was originally created to escape Fang Yu’s complete extermination!
This was truly the cycle of fate!
The Supreme Elder thought that by using soul slumber, they could preserve the spark and restore the glory of the Purple Flame Palace after two thousand years!
But no one expected that after two thousand years, Fang Yu was still not dead!
Moreover, Fang Yu had found these awakened souls!
“No, no matter what, I cannot reveal anything!” Cloud Sky determined in his heart.
This was their Purple Flame Palace’s plan spanning over two thousand years, it absolutely could not fail!
He could die today, but he absolutely could not reveal any information!
“I know you won’t talk,” Fang Yu coldly smiled, reached out his hand, and lightly touched Cloud Sky’s forehead.
Cloud Sky was completely unable to resist.
A flash of white light appeared at his fingertip, and Fang Yu’s divine sense entered Cloud Sky’s soul.
At this moment, Cloud Sky’s memories were completely open for him to examine.
In Cloud Sky’s memory, Fang Yu saw an old man with white hair and beard, and a withered face.
Seeing this old man, Fang Yu’s heart trembled.
This was the Supreme Elder of the Purple Flame Palace who had fought with him to the very last moment!
“After today, you will fall into slumber, and will likely awaken after about two thousand years. At that time, you must quickly find suitable bodies and advance to the Yuan Ying realm cultivation. Only when you reach the Yuan Ying realm cultivation can you activate the sect’s divine stone, thereby restoring all the heritage of our Purple Flame Palace… This divine stone, I will entrust to your senior brother. Your senior brother will awaken before you. After you awaken and reach the Yuan Ying realm cultivation, your senior brother will contact you…”
At this point, the memory became very blurry.
Obviously, Cloud Sky had already fallen into a semi-dormant state at that time.
The subsequent memories became very vague and difficult to discern.
Fang Yu frowned slightly and continued to look back further.
He wanted to know what the senior brother mentioned by the Supreme Elder looked like.
Soon, he found memories related to that senior brother in Cloud Sky’s mind.
He was an ordinary-looking man with Transformation realm cultivation, named Jiang Dao.
But this information had no value.
They had preserved only their souls, and now even if they awakened, they would possess other people’s bodies, with completely different appearances and cultivation levels.
The only valuable information was that Jiang Dao’s soul had awakened before Cloud Sky and the others.
Moreover, Jiang Dao had a way to contact other awakened souls.
And from Cloud Sky’s memory, it was clear that Cloud Sky himself had no way to contact other souls, including senior brother Jiang Dao.
Fang Yu casually scanned Cloud Sky’s memories, preparing to withdraw his divine sense.
But at this moment, he noticed a familiar figure appearing in a segment of memory.
This was at the entrance of the Heavenly Dao Sect, a woman covered in blood, looking at the enemy in front of her with determined and resolute eyes.
The moment he saw this woman, Fang Yu’s long-sealed heart suddenly trembled.
Cold Xun Shuang.
She was the woman who resembled Ji Rumei with an eighty percent similarity.
She was the woman who, because of a promise, protected the Heavenly Dao Sect for him until her death!
