Chapter 434: The Ice Light Shines
“How could there be so many beasts?”
Ye Yun frowned deeply, never expecting the entire world to change after stepping into the courtyard.
“Is this a spatial array?”
He scanned his surroundings. Each of the hundreds of beasts radiated the aura of the late Foundation Establishment stage. With their formidable bodies and innate abilities, their destructive potential was incalculable.
“Not a spatial array. Focus your senses—this feels real,” the voice of the Ancestor of the Sword Path rang out.
Having mastered the purest spatial laws, Ye Yun normally would’ve detected a spatial array immediately. But his earlier shock had clouded his judgment.
Following the Ancestor’s reminder, Ye Yun spread his mental intent outward. Aside from a faint spatial ripple behind him, there were no spatial law fluctuations. This wasn’t an illusion or array—it was real.
“The courtyard gate itself was a spatial passage. Stepping through brought me here,” Ye Yun realized, identifying the residual spatial fluctuation.
“One hundred thirty-one beasts. The weakest are around the third level of Foundation Establishment, while the strongest radiates the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment,” Ye Yun assessed, his mental intent covering the entire beast arena.
The arena resembled a giant bowl with smooth, sloped stone walls rising a hundred zhang high—no handholds in sight.
But this meant little to Ye Yun. At the third level of Foundation Establishment, soaring through the air was effortless, even at such heights.
“I’ll check above,” he muttered, shooting upward toward the arena’s peak.
At twenty zhang high, light suddenly shimmered overhead. A translucent shield materialized, halting his ascent.
Ye Yun hovered midair, glaring at the empty space where the shield had vanished.
Boom!
He unleashed a punch, true qi surging like tidal waves. The strike collided with the void, producing a thunderous crash. Pale blue light flickered as the transparent shield absorbed the blow before disappearing.
The shield remained intact. Even half his strength couldn’t budge it.
Purple light flashed as the Purple Shadow Sword appeared. Ye Yun slashed upward.
Lightning crackled, thunder boomed—all condensing into the blade.
Whoosh!
The purple blade light tore upward three feet, seemingly splitting the shield. But before Ye Yun could react, the rift vanished, the shield reforming seamlessly.
“Powerful restrictions,” Ye Yun breathed. His recent insights into the Thundercloud Lightning Sword’s fourth style, Sword of the Thunder God, had enhanced his first three moves. Yet this strike—capable of crippling sixth or seventh-level Foundation Establishment foes—left no mark.
“Don’t waste energy. If it broke easily, it wouldn’t be the Divine Grace Palace’s work,” the Ancestor remarked.
Ye Yun landed, frustration simmering.
“The spatial passage must’ve sent me deep into Divine Grace Palace. These beasts are likely their captives.”
“Regardless of their motives, our only path is forward. If they attack, annihilate them all,” the Ancestor said coldly.
The Purple Shadow Sword glimmered in Ye Yun’s grip, its light rippling outward like water, painting him in dazzling hues.
Roar!
The lead beast howled. Instantly, the horde formed a tightening circle around Ye Yun.
His expression hardened. Ten peak Foundation Establishment beasts wouldn’t faze him, but 131? Even with Three Heads and Six Arms, he’d be overwhelmed without wide-range attacks.
Neither Thundercloud Lightning Sword nor Born as a Sword offered area destruction. Slaying a dozen beasts upfront would still leave him vulnerable to the rest.
Despite his Exceptional Cultivation Level and robust physique, weathering attacks from over a hundred beasts seemed impossible.
He glanced upward. Without the shield, aerial attacks would’ve been ideal. But at twenty zhang high, the barrier limited his mobility, while some ten-zhang-tall beasts could reach that height without jumping. How many could fly?
The lead beast roared again. The horde charged.
Ye Yun’s sword flickered, vibrating 1,024 times in an instant—preparing Thundercloud Lightning Sword’s third style: Divine Thunder Annihilation.
Suddenly, inspiration struck. The gathering storm cloud above dissipated. Frost crawled across his sword’s purple light.
Smirking, Ye Yun thrust his sword skyward and drew a circle.
Purple shadows erupted everywhere, exploding into countless ice crystals and snowflakes that engulfed the arena.
“Ice Sealing a Thousand Miles!”
The world whitened. Ice and snow claimed every inch within a hundred zhang.
This move, taught by Elder Seven, prioritized scope over raw power. Though insufficient to kill all beasts, it could freeze most for ten breaths—enough to eliminate the rest and shatter the frozen.
Bitter cold gripped the arena. Icy shards and snow enveloped the charging horde.
The icy light blazed!
