Chapter 602: A Step Away
Just like Xuanyuan Xing warned Jiang Yun before he died, the powerful magic was no longer a secret technique, but a forbidden spell. It was best not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
After completing three sacrifices in a row, Jiang Yun’s body had become very thin and pale.
In addition to that, the strong smell of death emanating from his body made him look like an old man at death’s door.
However, even though he originally only had the strength of the seventh level of the Sky Reaching Realm, at this moment it was rapidly increasing, causing Jin Yifei standing behind him to be shocked.
Because he could sense that Jiang Yun’s strength at this moment was almost equal to his.
It even seemed a bit stronger than himself.
Although he knew that Jiang Yun had used some kind of secret method to temporarily increase his strength, the extent of this power boost was extremely shocking to him.
And indeed it was so.
After numerous battles, Jiang Yun had a rough idea of his own strength compared to other cultivators.
At the seventh level of the Sky Reaching Realm, his true strength was comparable to the first three levels of someone else’s Tao Spiritual Realm.
The unity of three bodies and The Anger of Seven Emotions make his strength comparable to the middle three levels of Tao Spiritual Realm.
After three sacrifices to the heavens, he can reach the later three levels of Tao Spiritual Realm.
If he can complete four sacrifices to the heavens, his strength will directly break through to Earth Protection Realm.
However, even if he sacrifices everything except his life, he cannot complete four sacrifices to the heavens.
Unless he encounters special opportunities like Life Fire Rebirth in a place similar to Qing-zhu Desolate World.
"Hmph, even if you increase your strength, you are still not my match!"
At this moment, Xue Ranyi coldly spoke, and as he waved his sleeves, a thousand-zhang blood river roared out towards Jiang Yun.
Despite Xue Ranyi saying he doesn’t care about Jiang Yun, the sudden surge in Jiang Yun’s strength greatly shook him.
He even worried whether Jiang Yun’s strength would continue to grow and be able to compete with him, so he took action first to stop Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun swiftly stepped back to avoid the blood stream, lifted his hand, and grabbed at the air.
Sparks suddenly appeared around Jin Yifei, instantly igniting and turning into flames that formed a sea of fire, engulfing him.
Jiang Yun knew that even though he had prayed three times, he was still no match for Xue Ranyi, and this time he could not maintain his praying state for as long as before, so he had to quickly kill Jin Yifei.
"the Rule of Fire!"
Within the sea of fire, Jin Yifei’s expression changed as he realized that this was no ordinary flame.
However, his reaction was quick; he spread his hands and clapped them together heavily.
Around him, golden dots quickly lit up, turning into streams of golden gas under an intense light, and splitting into two.
Half of them formed a golden shield, protecting his whole body and blocking the sea of fire;
The other half turned into a golden long sword, stabbing fiercely towards Jiang Yun.
Clearly, as Jin Yifei from the Tao Spiritual Realm, he was also using the Power of Rules!
However, when Jiang Yun saw the endless sharpness of the golden sword stabbing towards him, a cold light flashed in his eyes. From his body, another golden sword flew out, ready to meet the attack.
"Clang!"
The tips of the two golden swords collided precisely, creating a clear sound of impact.
Amidst this sound, flames suddenly burst out from Jiang Yun’s golden sword.
As a result, cracks appeared on the golden sword condensed by Jin Yifei, spreading throughout the blade and causing it to shatter inch by inch.
Jiang Yun’s golden sword remained intact, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it continued to thrust towards Jin Yifei.
"The Rule of Fire, combined with Sword Intent, you are still a sword cultivator!"
This scene made Jin Yifei’s face turn extremely unpleasant.
Fire and metal, both belong to the five elements. While fire can overcome metal, Jiang Yun has managed to blend them together almost perfectly, along with Sword Intent, breaking his own golden sword rule.
Not to mention Jin Yifei, even Xue Ranyi watching from the sidelines showed a rare hint of surprise in his eyes!
It is important to note that although he was indeed defeated by Jiang Yun before, it was because Jiang Yun had borrowed Xue Mucheng’s power.
But now, Jiang Yun is dominating Jin Yifei firmly without relying on any external force, solely on his own strength.
And all of this happened within a few years!
If given more time, Jiang Yun might become unbeatable, even for himself.
Therefore, Xue Ranyi made up his mind that no matter what, he must kill Jiang Yun today.
But before killing Jiang Yun, he had to uncover all of Jiang Yun’s secrets.
Whether it’s the method to break through to the Sky Blessed Realm, the secret techniques for significant strength improvement in a short period, or the Taoist spell that Jiang Yun possesses!
These secrets are very tempting for anyone!
At the same time, with a loud bang, Jiang Yun’s flaming gold sword pierced the golden shield in front of Jin Yifei.
The gold sword exploded, spreading flames onto the shield instantly, though it didn’t completely shatter the shield.
Seizing the opportunity, Jin Yifei quickly retreated, opened his mouth, and breathed out a golden stream of air, transforming it into a golden spear, thrusting it towards Jiang Yun.
Jiang Yun raised his hand and heavily slapped the golden spear, knocking it off course, narrowly missing him.
In the blink of an eye, he swiftly moved in front of Jin Yifei and struck out with his palm.
Jiang Yun’s speed was so extreme that Jin Yifei had no chance to dodge, so he clenched his teeth, his body glowing golden as if turning into solid gold, bracing for Jiang Yun’s strike.
"*Thud!*"
As the palm landed, Jin Yifei’s face suddenly turned pale, while Jiang Yun clenched his fist and struck Jin Yifei’s chest again.
"Oh no!"
Xue Ranyi’s eyes flashed with cold light, suddenly realizing that the first palm shot by Jiang Yun on Jin Yifei wasn’t a palm at all, but some kind of seal that he had broken earlier, rendering Jin Yifei helpless now.
If Jiang Yun’s second punch landed, Jin Yifei would be gravely injured if not dead!
Xue Ranyi waved his sleeve, and the thousand-foot blood river hovering in the air transformed into a blood dragon, fiercely charging towards Jiang Yun’s back.
The distance between Jiang Yun and Jin Yifei was too close, leaving him no time to save Jin Yifei, so he could only try to force Jiang Yun to save himself in this way.
But Jiang Yun seemed oblivious to the blood dragon behind him, his fist still heavily hitting Jin Yifei and sending him flying.
At the same time, the blood dragon viciously collided with Jiang Yun’s back, but numerous human-shaped flames suddenly rose up from his body!
Each flame revealed a fiery red mark!
Ten Thousand Lifes!
Since returning to Mountain-Sea World, Jiang Yun has been constantly killing.
Whether it’s the Sea clan at first, the Luo family not long ago, or the disciples of the Ghostly Samsara Hell in the Seeking-Tao Sect, all the living beings who died at his hands had their life fire absorbed by Jiang Yun into the Flameless Puppet Lantern, allowing him to unleash the Ten Thousand Lifes at that moment.
"Boom!"
However, when the blood dragon hit his back, all the Life Fire Seals instantly broke apart.
Jiang Yun’s body, along with Jin Yifei, was sent flying forwards by the impact.
After landing on the ground, Jiang Yun felt his organs rolling inside him. Although he didn’t die, the Power of the Heavens obtained through the Art of Sacrificing to the Heavens was completely gone.
This brought Jiang Yun to a step away from death!
