Chapter 513: Let Me Calculate

After the initial anger, the gigantic face did not rush to strike but instead cast an uncertain gaze toward Ji Yang once more.

He had trained for so long but had never encountered a late Void Refinement stage cultivator with such strength.

As the colossal hand shattered, the pressure on the numerous disciples from the He Dao Sect below vanished instantly.

The dazzling sword energy from earlier had also caught everyone’s attention.

They followed the direction from which the sword energy emanated and muttered in surprise:

“It’s Jingtan Peak!”

“Could this sword energy mean that Peak Master Ye has returned?”

There were already few cultivators in the sect who mastered the essence of the sword, let alone one with such power; it seemed there was no one but Peak Master Ye.

Upon hearing Peak Master Ye’s name, many elders and Peak Masters looked toward Jingtan Peak with hopeful expressions.

To the numerous outer disciples, Peak Master Ye was just another Peak Master, but only they knew that Ye Wuchen was no ordinary Peak Master!

If it weren’t for his youth and his reluctance to take on other positions in the sect, he would have long been a Grand Elder by now.

However, as everyone focused their gaze closer, they only saw Ji Yang’s figure standing alone at the desolate Jingtan Peak.

Behind Ji Yang stood a colorful and mighty strange aquatic beast.

As for Xu Yiheng beneath the strange beast, he had been overlooked by the crowd.

“Not Peak Master Ye—what’s this child’s name again?”

“Ji Yang!”

“How is this possible? Didn’t this child just enter the sect ten years ago? How does he possess the late Void Refinement stage now?”

“Could that sword just now really have been unleashed by him?”

The revelation of Ji Yang’s true level left many elders in shock and disbelief.

At that moment, a Peak Master spoke up:

“I witnessed it with my own eyes; it was indeed this child who unleashed it.”

“Though I don’t want to admit it, I saw it too.”

With the confirmation from several Peak Masters, the various cultivators present stared in shock.

In just ten years, he reached the late Void Refinement stage—what kind of talent was this?

Even Heaven’s Jealousy couldn’t possibly account for such an outrageous feat!

Although the sect faced imminent destruction, it could not stop the curiosity and astonishment in everyone’s eyes at that moment.

Amidst the buzzing chatter, Ji Yang, holding an iron pick, stepped into the void and walked upward.

Though his steps were slow, each one covered a distance of a hundred meters.

Behind him, Xu Yiheng gaped, his mouth agape and unclosing for a long time.

Could that sword just now truly have been unleashed by his senior brother?

But he hadn’t seen his brother cultivating at all on ordinary days!

When Ji Yang stood in midair, all the disciples of the He Dao Sect saw his face.

The doubts in many disciples’ hearts disappeared at that moment.

This disciple, who had joined the sect ten years ago, had truly reached the late Void Refinement stage, even surpassing many elders of the sect.

So, were the previous rumors false?

Was Talent Jealousy truly this exceptional?

Below, Lei Ming clenched his teeth, his wide-open eyes filled with disbelief.

“Hmph, it seems you have some connection with Ye Wuchen. I didn’t expect him to be trapped in the Abyss yet still leave behind some means in the sect.”

“But how many times can you unleash such sword energy?”

The huge face once again sensed Ji Yang’s realm and laughed out loud.

Many cultivators, upon hearing this, suddenly understood.

They thought that since the sect was on the brink of collapse, they hadn’t seen Peak Master Ye appear, but it turned out he had already been trapped.

Now, the earlier sword energy had a reasonable explanation; it was likely a means left by Peak Master Ye.

Otherwise, even with Ji Yang at the late Void Refinement stage, he wouldn’t have been able to shatter that colossal hand with a single strike.

Realizing the reason, the various elders sighed again.

They had thought there was hope, but instead, they faced despair once more.

Li Daoyi also shook his head; unfortunately, without a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, they could never contend with such power.

While the crowd felt despondent, Ji Yang in the sky began to extend his finger and count:

“Let me calculate: one sword, two swords, three swords…”

“With such sword energy, I can probably unleash six swords!”

Ji Yang said earnestly.

After all, the sword energy he had just released was indeed extraordinary, containing not only ninety-nine percent of his essence of the sword but also the sword energy he had cultivated within his body for years; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat his foe in one strike.

Ji Yang’s answer caused the enormous face above him to pause, filled with anger, as the clouds above began to shift.

The numerous elders below quickly shook their heads:

“This Ji Yang is just too honest.”

“Even if Peak Master Ye left behind some means, he shouldn’t reveal it so easily to the enemy. With the three Grand Elders and that Top-tier Spiritual Treasure from the sect, they might really have a chance to repel the enemy.”

“But now that Ji Yang has spoken, he has undoubtedly diminished the already slim chance of victory.”

Before the crowd could voice their regret, they heard Ji Yang’s next words:

“But to deal with you, I don’t think I need this sword energy!”

The crowd of He Dao Sect members fell into a daze upon hearing this.

Was he really that bold?

Even the practitioners from the six sects nearby stared in disbelief.

“Good, good, good!”

“Since you are so arrogant, let me see your abilities!”

The towering face could no longer endure and sent another colossal hand down from the sky.

However, this time it was aimed specifically at Ji Yang, not the entire He Dao Sect.

When all the pressure focused on one person, even a Great Ascension stage cultivator couldn’t withstand it.

Confronted with Ling Xiao’s single-minded attention, Ji Yang remained calm, while the spiritual energy around him began to gather.

Meanwhile, the three Grand Elders had rallied and prepared for battle once more.

But when the three sensed Ji Yang’s current state, they all paused.

“Wait, what does he intend to do?”

“Is he preparing to break through?”

The three Grand Elders found it hard to believe their eyes; in this critical moment, Ji Yang was preparing to advance to Unity with the Dao?

They were unsure whether to praise his courage or what.

As the spiritual energy gathered, the enormous face above sensed it too and quickly understood Ji Yang’s intention; the boy was attempting to use the heavenly thunder calamity to counter him.

Though a good idea, within a mere moment, he could have made Ji Yang perish hundreds of times!

It was feasible against others, but using it against him was too naive.

Just as the colossal hand was about to descend, the massive face suddenly changed its expression, exclaiming,

“How could it be so fast?”

As the words fell, endless thunder seemed to fall from the sky above.

Without the formation of calamity clouds, it was direct and straightforward, as if this lightning calamity had been waiting for Ji Yang for a long time.

Feeling the terrifying thunder above, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated; the gigantic face that had formed in the air vanished instantly, along with the colossal hand.

At that moment, another old man with an unfamiliar face appeared before everyone.

Upon closer inspection, this old man’s face was indeed Ling Xiao’s, but now it was his true form; the enormous face earlier was merely a divine ability he had used.
