Chapter 435: Flame Beast
The icy light instantly covered an area spanning dozens of zhang. Weaker beasts froze solid immediately.
Ye Yun’s eyes glinted with murderous intent after his successful strike. Roughly seventy to eighty of the 131 beasts froze instantly, while over a dozen slowed drastically. The remaining showed minor effects—only the three strongest beasts charged forward unimpeded.
Yet Ye Yun had foreseen this outcome when unleashing Ice Sealing a Thousand Miles. The result even surpassed his expectations.
Twisting midair, Ye Yun shot upward. The Purple Shadow Sword in his hand shifted fluidly as all his techniques fused into a single strike.
Born as a Sword!
Instead of Thundercloud Lightning Sword, he used another secret technique from Elder Seven—a move that concentrated all attacks into one.
Purple sword arcs exploded outward. Like ribbons of light, countless sword rays pierced through the beasts.
Crack!
Dozens of frozen beasts shattered into ice crystals, scattering across the ground.
The two strongest sword arcs targeted the leading beasts, slicing through everything. They streaked like icy dragons rising from ancient glaciers, howling toward their prey.
These two beasts matched the Seventh Level of Foundation Establishment. Ordinary cultivators at that level would struggle against their natural physical might.
Yet Ye Yun remained calm. Ice Sealing a Thousand Miles halted the horde while Born as a Sword aimed to eliminate the three strongest.
Even he marveled at his own power. Reaching the third level of Foundation Establishment and cultivating the Great Demon Body had granted him unexpected strength.
The sword arcs pierced both beasts effortlessly, leaving gaping holes in their massive forms.
Without pause, Ye Yun twisted in midair. The Purple Shadow Sword blazed, casting a glowing screen over the last remaining beast.
Fifty-four beasts fell in an instant. The rest stayed frozen.
Roar!
The trapped beast surged forward. Its ten-zhang frame swelled violently, shattering the glowing screen. A fiery creature emerged—scales blazing crimson, limbs like pillars, a tail matching its body length, and a flat, snake-like head.
“A Flame Beast,” Ancestor of the Sword Path warned. “At maturity, it rivals the Golden Core stage. Earlier, it only showed peak Foundation Establishment strength. Don’t underestimate it.”
Flame Beast?
Ye Yun recalled legends: born from magma, gestating for three centuries, absorbing fire essence for a hundred years before emerging, then maturing over another century. Millennia-old Flame Beasts could rival Nascent Soul stage experts.
This one radiated scorching heat. Its aura of destruction blanketed the beast arena. Unfrozen beasts cowered; ice melted rapidly around others.
Ye Yun felt searing air. Without his Great Demon Body and cultivation, a Foundation Establishment beginner would exhaust their true qi resisting the heat.
“The Divine Grace Palace actually keeps such a beast,” Ye Yun mused, unafraid. Only the Flame Beast remained a threat—the others trembled helplessly.
This Flame Beast matched Golden Core strength. Though Ye Yun could battle early Golden Core cultivators, he’d never faced a true Golden Core opponent until now.
Buzz!
The Purple Shadow Sword vibrated 1,024 times in an instant. His ice techniques weren’t supreme—Ice Sealing a Thousand Miles worked against groups, not this fiery foe.
Thundercloud Lightning Sword, enhanced by his grasp of the Sword of the Thunder God’s fragment, was his strongest attack. Reaching third-level Foundation Establishment and refining Thunder Spirit Qi had amplified its power.
Before he could unleash Divine Thunder Annihilation, the enraged Flame Beast lunged. Its flaming tail whipped toward him.
Ye Yun sidestepped calmly. The Purple Shadow Sword hummed, light rippling like water.
“Divine Thunder Annihilation!”
Storm clouds gathered. Lightning channeled into the sword before blasting outward.
Purple thunder tore through the sky. The Flame Beast’s triangular head recoiled slightly, but its scales shifted, forming a two-foot shield.
Boom!
The thunder struck the scale shield. The beast rolled back, flames dimming, scales blackened where struck.
Yet it wasn’t seriously injured. The shield had absorbed most impact—only a hundred scales charred, later blending back into its body. The Flame Beast now sported black blotches amidst its crimson glow.
Ye Yun frowned. That strike had fused insights from the Sword of the Thunder God—its power undeniable. Yet the Flame Beast’s defense held.
Crouching, the beast glared with blood-red eyes, disbelief in this human’s strength.
They faced off silently.
Finally, Ye Yun inhaled deeply. The Purple Shadow Sword trembled as he closed his eyes.
Lightning Element Law surged within him. Thunder Spirit Qi flooded the sword. Had the Flame Beast seen inside Ye Yun, it would’ve witnessed a razor-sharp law—sword intent, the Sword Path’s essence.
Ye Yun had hesitated to reveal sword intent here. Exposing Ice Spirit Qi and Thunder Spirit Qi already risked Divine Grace Palace’s attention. Adding sword intent invited greater trouble.
But without it, slaying the Flame Beast and escaping was impossible.
Kill first, deal with consequences later.
Murderous intent solidified in Ye Yun’s gaze.
As he prepared to strike, a figure plunged from the sky toward him!
