Chapter 1447: Settling One’s Debts

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Among Lin Feng’s disciples, many of them liked to seize the opportunity in a fight. However, among the eight of them, Yue Hongyan’s battling style was the most furious. Not only did she not give her opponent any chance at retaliation, she would not back down too.

As her master, Lin Feng never tried to change her style because this was a manifestation of her martial spirit. If it were changed, her skills would be severely affected, if not completely voided.

Since there was not much he could correct about her, Lin Feng only tried to adjust some of her moves superficially so that she could cover up her weak points.

The foundation of the Saros Magical Tree that Lin Feng had personally cultivated was the Saros Steel Tree. It incorporated many other types of powers and spells, and hence, today, its defensive powers were immense. It surpassed even those of an Immortal Soul Third Level pure-blooded Xuanwu or a Saros Steel Tree.

Disciples of Yue Hongyan’s Blizzard Valley had similar battling styles as Yue Hongyan. The Saros Magical Tree was the most suitable option.

This time, before Yue Hongyan entered the Spirit Sea, she brought the Saros Magical Tree out along with her.

At this moment, with the protection of the Saros Magical Tree, Yue Hongyan did not care about defense as she faced off against the Sirius Grand Sage. She revealed her full, unadulterated strength as she attacked the Sirius Grand Sage in frenzy. She maximized her specialty to its fullest.

Both sides attacked offensively. However, while the Saros Magical Tree appeared and blocked the Sirius Grand Sage’s Cursed Bloody Claw, Yue Hongyan’s Royal Extermination Pole-Ax was able to cleave down on the Sirius Grand Sage’s head.

The sea of blood shattered and the mountain of bones collapsed. As a black wolf howled pitifully, one could see countless droplets of blood flying in all directions.

Thanks to Yue Hongyan, a horrifying wound appeared on the Sirius Grand Sage’s body. As he had been injured by Lin Feng beforehand, blood started to steam out of his pores.

Yue Hongyan’s expression was calm and her gaze was icy-cold. She was merciless. Her green-and-black pole-ax was planted firmly in the Sirius Grand Sage’s body and she had no intention of pulling it out. Instead, she activated her terrifying Nine Heavens Formless Squalls, ravaging the inside of his body.

The Sirius Grand Sage howled in rage into the sky. He stabilized his body and tried to resist against with all his might, but the Saros Magical Tree blocked him. All he could do was to find a way to retreat.

The blood stained the heaven and the Sirius Grand Sage managed to retreat slightly. However, as he retreated, Yue Hongyan’s powers increased even more. Like a tsunami, she continued attacking him.

The attacks were both intense and fast-paced. The Sirius Grand Sage felt a sense of desperation rising in his heart.

If it were just fierce, the Sirius Grand Sage would not be too worried. As long as he could seize a chance, he would be able to find a weakness in his opponent that he could exploit.

Even if he could not hurt Yue Hongyan because of the Saros Magical Tree, he could at least ensure his escape.

However, Yue Hongyan’s attack was not only violent, it was also relentless. As she pummelled the Sirius Grand Sage, it appeared that all her attacks were seamless.

For normal people, if they attacked so relentlessly, they would definitely lose control after a while.

For cultivators of the Immortal Soul Stage, their mastery over their bodies and attacks reached a new high. However, they still had the same limitations as more ordinary cultivators.

If one wanted to attack and still possessed energy to spare, then one could not attack so mercilessly. They still had to spare some energy to allow themselves some space to maneuver.

This was the normal state.

However, it did not apply to Yue Hongyan. The red-haired girl attacked mercilessly and relentlessly. Yet, she was still able to control her attacks very well. There was no weakness in them.

The Sirius Grand Sage knew that it was a special ability. While it was not useful in daily cultivation, and that it could not be seen and assessed regularly and hence, easily overlooked by others, its use became evident in a battle to the death.

This special ability, combined with hard work, would prove deadly.

The Sirius Grand Sage understood it clearly because he was such a cultivator. He was more powerful than his peers of the same level and he was almost as powerful as the Zhujian Grand Sage, who was in the Cardinal Tribulations Beginner Stage. However, this was not just because he cultivated the Demonic Book of the Heavenly Tao.

However, Yue Hongyan’s skills in this aspect surpassed even his.

With the Saros Magical Tree protecting her, Yue Hongyan was further able to demonstrate her prowess in this aspect. She devoted all her strength into her attack as she came at the Sirius Grand Sage like a merciless vortex.

The uneasy feeling in the Sirius Grand Sage’s heart grew stronger and stronger. He wanted to fight, but when he saw the dark-golden light of the Saros Magical Tree, he felt immensely helpless. This feeling paralyzed his heart.

While he knew that he was in deep danger, the Sirius Grand Sage could not help but glare at Lin Feng with his single, blood-red eye.

Over there, Lin Feng’s form had disappeared completely. The intersection between the Death Sea and the Spirit Sea had turned into an independent world. One could not see the changes that took place within.

At this moment, images flashed in the Sirius Grand Sae’s brain. He thought about the first time he met Lin Feng in the Cloud Forest World. At that time, he brimmed with confidence and completely disregarded Lin Feng.

If not for the Golden Roc Grand Sage’s cultivation of the Hades Dark Mantra, he would have battled Lin Feng there and then. Then, he wished to destroy Lin Feng and then seize Mount Yujing.

Yet, the next time they met was in the Starry Sea. At that time, Lin Feng felt like a completely changed person. He was evidently different compared to before.

At that moment, he was not an opponent that Lin Feng had to bother with. The difference between the two of them almost made the Sirius Grand Sage cough blood.

After the War of the Two Worlds until this very moment, Lin Feng did not even think about the Sirius Grand Sage.

However, he did not expect to fall in the hands of Lin Feng’s fifth disciple, who was only in her Immortal Soul First Level. Anguish rose in the Sirius Grand Sage’s heart. He never expected this outcome.

He never once imagined that by ignoring Lin Feng in the Cloud Forest World all those years would lead to such an outcome.

Could he have killed Lin Feng then, or would Lin Feng’s powers increased suddenly then and defeat him?

Sadly, everything remained in the realm of imagination. There was no way for him to prove his hypothesis.

Speaking about it, while the past seemed distant, it was only a few decades in the Greater World…

Compared to the Sirius Grand Sage’s lifespan, it was an extremely short period of time. However, in such a short time, such a huge change took place. Everyone felt as if their world had been inverted and turned unreal.

The Sirius Grand Sage suddenly felt anxiety running through his heart. When Yue Hongyan was just inches away from him, he finally recovered as he tried to dodge.

The battle right now caused him to despair completely.

As Yue Hongyan pursued the Sirius grand Sage, the monkey went up to the Golden Cicada, smiling crookedly, and said, “Old trash, I want to see where can you run now!”

As he said that, he lifted his stick and smashed the Golden Cicada.

The Golden Cicada looked at the monkey and sighed. He shook his head and said nothing. As he escaped, he tried to parry the monkey’s attack. The two of them fought non-stop and soon, they disappeared into the distance.

It was all calm near the golden lake and no one could be seen. The Origin Golden Cup landed on the lake’s surface once more and the water in the lake continued to ripple.

Lin Feng’s three avatars, along with Yang Qing, sat cross-legged on the Origin Golden Cup. Right now, they looked at the area above their heads.

There, the intersection between the Death Sea and the Spirit Sea formed a world of gray. The sky above everyone’s head turned gray.

In that gray sky, two young men stood facing each other in the sky.

One of them wore a green robe and his expression was calm. It was as if nothing could possibly disturb him.

The other person wore purple robes and a white overcoat. He was dressed like a scholar. His hands were placed behind his back and he stood on top of a magnificent golden bridge. The bridge crossed the sky and one could not see its end.

Zhu Yi looked at Lin Daohan and asked, “I have seen Wu Qingrou before. I did not know that you used another avatar to disrupt my examination. What is it?”

Lin Daohan’s expression was calm and his tone was flat and clear. Emotionlessly, he replied, “His name is Wang Kun and he styled himself Houde. He is from Yanzhou, the north of the Great Zhou Empire. He has no cultivation and is just an ordinary scholar.”

Zhu Yi nodded his head and said, “Not very ordinary, he is very well-read.”

Lin Daohan said, “No. Had he not been infected by your literary aura, he would be unable to trigger the Resonance of a Hundred Sages.”

Zhu Yi looked at him and said, “Before the War of the Two Worlds, I said that our battle will take place somewhere else.”

When he heard Zhu Yi’s words, Lin Daohan fell silent. His normally calm gaze flashed slightly.

The ‘somewhere else’ referred to the problem of the Mantra of the Great Oblivion and the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void.

Its results were clear.

Many years ago, after the Buddhist Karmic Debate, Lin Daohan could feel it when Zhu Yi first mentioned it.

After the end of the War of the Two Worlds, the Great Void Sect bided its time. Lin Daohan raised this matter as something important in his sect. Both the Tai Yi Holy Man and he started to research it together.

However, the Celestial Sect’s progress still exceeded their expectations.

Lin Daohan sighed and shook his head, saying, “I have lost this contest.”

Zhu Yi smiled slightly and said, “Because of our debate, we crossed arms. This should have ended the animosity between us. However, I don’t dare to claim the credit for myself. Other than me, the successful result from this could be attributed to the Great Void Sect’s the Mantra of the Great Oblivion and the Yin Yang Mantra of the Void, as well as the contribution of my seniors and juniors, and my master’s guidance.”

“Since we are fighting over the Spirit Sea, let us fight once more and completely settle the debts between us.”

As Zhu Yi said that, the Yi Daoist talisman on his head shone. It floated in mid-air where darkness and light intersected. Then, it illuminated the entire area.
