Chapter 338: Blood Eye Determination
Ye Yun’s sudden outburst stunned everyone present. Few in the crowd could confidently claim their strength surpassed Chen Tianyun’s. Even those slightly stronger couldn’t guarantee defense against Chen Tianyun’s array of treasures and Divine Talismans.
Clearly impossible. Since no one could manage this, victory remained uncertain for all. Yet Ye Yun had slain Chen Tianyun with One Sword, scattering his body into fragments while shattering every treasure. Unthinkable! A cultivator of Chen Tianyun’s level undoubtedly possessed top-grade spiritual weapons—perhaps even extraordinary spiritual weapons. Such artifacts, forged from rare materials with immense effort, shouldn’t break under ordinary attacks. This revealed the terrifying magnitude of Ye Yun’s offensive power.
Facing Ye Yun’s provocative gaze, even princes Duan Yunsha and Duan Hongcheng feigned ignorance, unwilling to act rashly.
"Ye Yun, you’ve surprised me. But your scattered training lacks focus. Temporary strength means nothing—you’ll stagnate. One day, you’ll kneel before my sword. I’ll spare your life then, letting you witness true genius."
Du Jianyin’s voice cut through the silence.
Ye Yun found Du Jianyin delusional, recalling his nonsensical rants in the great tomb about tolerating personal insults but never sword insults.
Yet Du Jianyin had a point. Mastering multiple techniques paled against specializing in one. Though varied skills offered flexibility, true power came from perfection. Reaching the Heavenly Realm required dedicating oneself to a single path.
Ye Yun understood this. But without discovering his own Dao, diversification remained necessary—for now.
"Care to test that theory?" Ye Yun retorted coldly.
Du Jianyin’s eyes flashed before oddly calming. "The gap between us remains today. Next meeting? Less certain."
He vanished mid-sentence, darting into valley’s dense woods. His fading voice carried back:
"Refine the sword. Transcend the sword. Shatter heavens. All paths converge!"
Ye Yun didn’t pursue. His current condition might not permit it anyway. Du Jianyin’s boasts warranted only a dismissive smile.
Du Chuntian’s inaction surprised briefly—until logic prevailed. As Du family’s millennium talent, Du Jianyin’s presence mattered little to the outcome. Early departure proved wisest.
On the Judgment Platform, combatants observed each other warily, attention divided between themselves and Ye Yun.
Behind Elder Shi, the demonic shadow solidified—pitch-black, faceless.
As Shui Qingxuan noted, Elder Shi’s cultivation proved inadequate. Even after summoning a Spirit Demon Race remnant soul, its power barely reached one-hundredth of its original might.
"Hao Ge," Shui Qingxuan’s voice floated clearly, "Demons of this rank equal Nascent Soul stage experts. Don’t underestimate even this shadow."
"Silence, demon whore!" Elder Shi roared, completion ritual finished. "You dare label my arts demonic? You’ll pay!"
"Why deny reality?" Shui Qingxuan responded serenely. "You wield Spirit Demon techniques. Acknowledge it."
"After killing Su Hao, I’ll tear your lying tongue out!"
"Enough chatter." Su Hao’s sword hummed, icy determination radiating. "Begin."
"Witness true Buddha-like projection!" Elder Shi’s face twisted grotesquely.
The black remnant shadow flickered. Concentrated demon energy lanced through air—a lethal beam aimed at Su Hao’s forehead.
Su Hao sidestepped smoothly. His blade erupted with jade-white radiance—a miniature sun blazing midswing.
"Solar Flame!"
The searing sphere annihilated darkness, its purifying light vaporizing lingering demonic traces.
Black energy recoiled upon collision. Strands too slow to retreat dissolved instantly.
*Wuuuu—*
The remnant shadow wailed indignantly—a sliver of sentience offended by Su Hao’s defiance.
Elder Shi paled. Each attack drained essence blood and lifespan. Su Hao’s hidden trump card shocked him—had this been unleashed earlier, Chen Tianyun, Ouyang Wentian, and himself might’ve perished.
Su Hao hid this power deliberately. A peak leader’s cunning indeed.
Yet Su Hao equally marveled. His Solar Flame—a rarely shown ultimate technique—failed its ambush. The shadow’s demonic force exceeded all expectations. Without timely counterattack, that energy beam might’ve crippled him.
This battle’s difficulty just escalated.
"Crafty bastard." Elder Shi spread arms, chanting silently.
Light beams shot from his eyes, solidifying midair into humanoid figures. The demon shadow crackled, devouring these light-constructs whole.
Instantly, the shadow changed.
Where no features existed before, crimson eyes materialized—dark red pupils burning with malice.
"Die now, Su Hao! Blood Eye Determination Technique!"
Those eyes blazed. Bloodlight engulfed Su Hao in crimson netting.
