Divine Brilliance

Chapter 596: Unrivaled

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Zong Shou was originally smiling as he stepped in the air, thinking that he could very simply obtain the Universe Creation Records.

Who knew that just as he reached out, Yuan Wushang’s spiritual explosion sword had already slashed down.

He couldn’t help but yelp out. This Yuan Wushang really did what he said. After his injuries recovered, he instantly turned on him without hesitation.

He could only stop helplessly, casually pulling out the sword. A hundred thousand foot sword light rose into the air, shining brightly. With a loud “dang”, the two sword lights clashed in the air before Yuan Wushang’s body was forced flying backward.

He was counter-attacked by Zong Shou’s sword light, haggardly forced back hundreds of feet before he was able to stop his body.

At this moment, before Zong Shou was able to take a breath, Jueyu’s sword also turned ten thousand feet long as he smashed down on his side.

Zong Shou smiled and Nine Dragon Shadows appeared behind him. The sword light turned into a Dragon as they tunneled toward one side!

Platinum Dragon sword, Wind Cloud Dragon sword, kill!

The sword shadow brought a seemingly illusionary yet real-looking thing in mid-air.

Following this, it struck right at the spine of the giant black sword. First, energy surged about and numerous blade shadows were crushed. Following this, there were sounds of clashing metal.

Jueyu gave out a “heh” as his body was also pushed aside. However, this caused Zong Shou to not have any time and energy to obtain the Universe Creation Records.

The crossing of swords between the three of them occurred in just 1/60th of a second. At this moment, the other people all came to their senses.

Li Wuhui was the first who laughed out loud, “Such a treasure like the Universe and Eon Books I have to fight for them! Your highness, please forgive me for being impolite, I apologize!”

Another knife slashed down, breaking time. The moment it slashed out, it was already in front of Zong Shou.

Shui Lingbo scoffed coldly, a lightning mark appeared at the center of her brows and instantly huge amounts of lightning were gathered.

It caused the hearts of all the Grade Nine cultivators there to jump. In the end, it turned into a really giant lightning drill that fell down from above. On the tip of it was a blue lightning snake that was pointed right at Zong Shou.

Zong Shou’s green-colored sword light in the sky sliced back just in time.

Instant Space Dragon sword, also tore apart space and time, breaking Li Wuhui’s Time Knife in just one fell swoop.

Following this, a pair of lightning wings spread out from his back. His left hand did not dodge or avoid it as it grabbed out, directly tearing down half of the drill. Then, it turned into a pair of thirty thousand feet wings covering the entire sky. With one flap it gave rise to millions of thunder explosion noises.

At this moment Zong Shou was riled up by these people, totally pumped up. His vital energy was boiling for some reason, filled with lofty sentiments. He laughed out, “Good, good, good! You all are ganging up on me? Forget it, even if all of you attack together, what can you do to me?”

The moment he said that, the expressions of everyone around changed. Shui Lingbo was the first to scoff coldly, “You really think that you are unrivaled in the Cloud World?”

He knew the lightning element techniques and had the Lightning Phoenix blood, so she by herself couldn’t beat him. She decided to abandon the lightning drill and a red sword shadow filled with Heaven covering red flames slashed down from above!

A ball of white flames also appeared around Zong Shou’s body, turning into a pair of wings which stretched behind him. It merged with the lightning wings, turning into black in color.

Lightning blaze thousand flash, just one flap and it caused a large portion of the red flames to dissipate.

A ball of sword light, similarly burning with red flames, gave out a clang sound, a heavy ring that nearly broke everyone’s eardrums.

Zong Shou didn’t even take half a step back whilst Shui Lingbo was struck by this huge force, retreating ten thousand feet. He had a really ugly expression on his face.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t strong enough but that her spiritual technique powers were completely countered by Zong Shou.

At this moment, Yuan Wushang and the other three attacked once more. Two swords and one knife attacked at the same time, left and right, up and down. In the air, instantly thousands of sword shadows and knife lights intersected.

Under the surge of the energies, the underground lake was boiling and raging, like that of a spectacular mess.

The expressions of many Grade Nine cultivators changed. They were suppressed by all these surging energies, clashing sword intents, having no choice but to retreat away.

They backed off and retreated, ten thousand feet, hundred thousand feet, until a million feet away did they stop.

Wuji’s expression turned slightly dark and sunken, worry appearing in his eyes. A moment later he sighed, giving up on thoughts of joining in, following these people and getting a million feet out.

“Sword Intent Soul Realm! The martial path intent of these four people are actually all at the Soul Realm...”

“The youngest is only twenty. I’m really not as good as them, how did they achieve that? The spiritual wave is yet to rise and there are actually so many talents...”

“What a Gantian Monster king, this Zong Shou is really unrivaled in the universe!”

“Ten thousand spirit sword, great extinction sword, time knife, blazing destruction sword; any one of them could allow them to roam the world without problems. These few people are really monsters!”

“It isn’t without reason that Yuan Wushang could be the helm of those three pinnacle swords in the past. Even all three of us aren’t able to take even one sword!”

“Going one versus four? No matter if he wins or loses, his name will shock the world!”

“They said that Tanqiu’s battle several months ago was the most intense sword battle in the Cloud World for thousands of years. However, the battle today was much better than that.”

Wuji’s expression was really complicated.

He recalled when Xiao Xiangzi entered the sect and revealed his talents to merge spirit and martial arts, the few senior brothers in the Vast Habitat were all so joyous they were about to go crazy.

They thought that there was finally someone in the Daoling Vast Habitat who could inherit the orthodoxy.

Only today, what happened in front of his eyes smashed his anticipation into pieces.

Within the Cloud World, although Xiao Xiangzi was strong, compared to these few people he was as far from Earth as the sky, not worth a mention!

As compared to Zong Shou, it was even worse...

Daoling Vast Habitat had always been the head of the five Vast Habitats, suppressing the shrines and Spiritual Houses.

They never bothered with the fighting in the world. They also didn’t bother with those famous experts within the Cloud World.

Today it seems like Wuji was looking at the sky from within a well. How tragic and amusing!

He couldn’t help but clench his fists. No matter what, Daoling Vast Habitat had to recruit this kid.

...This kid was really an unparalleled talent!

Like he knew what he was thinking, someone to the side praised, “this Zong Shou is really unrivaled and unparalleled. To think that Wuxuan would be so arrogant to dare provoke him. He deserved to have his head ripped off...”

“That’s right! This kid’s martial ability is rare!”

Feng Taiji was also startled speechless, as expected, within these six pinnacle swords of the Cloud World, only Ruotao and himself didn’t deserve it!

In that instant, he suddenly felt regret.

Millions of thoughts flashed across his mind. He thought back to his family that was already being suppressed in the Central Dynasty... Those seniors in the Ten Thousand Sword Vast Habitat... Their anticipation and unhappiness toward him...

Like long ago, some people had told him that his heart wasn’t in the right place.

He used more effort in fighting for power than in training his sword techniques. The moment he entered the sect, he used all his ability to suppress Senior Brother Ruotao, to cut his wings and grind at his ambitions.

Thinking of which, he was really foolish, so so foolish.

There were so many talents in the world, not only Ruotao. To be the master of the world he must cross swords with numerous heroes.

Zong Shou, Yuan Wushang, Jueyu, Li Wuhui...

He would have to spend his entire life effort to be able to go up against these kinds of people. If he was a step slower today, who knows how much effort he would have to spend to catch up.

He thought that his wings were already formed and could control everything. Who knew that he was still so weak under their swords.

At this moment, Ruotao was focused on his own hands. He was startled, muttering softly like he was thinking about something.

Feng Taiji tried to listen on but was unable to hear anything. Until moments later did he laugh out, bright but also devilish...

He was a handsome man, but at this moment he gave off such a feeling.

“That’s right! If my sword continues to be restrained I would lose the spiritual energy and become average! If I think for the sect I should become stronger!”

The moment he said that he pulled out his sword.

When the sword rose, numerous Heaven and Earth spiritual energy instantly gathered.

Soul and energy merging, flames spreading a hundred thousand feet, extremely eye-catching?

“Eh?”

Zong Shou who was above was slightly surprised.

This sword was really strong! Just weaker than Jueyu and Yuan Wushang by a little but he could compare to Li Wuhui.

This sword intent had just peeked at the Soul Realm.

Zong Shou wasn’t afraid and another sword slashed upwards.

Keng!

Another series of sword light burst out, but Ruotao didn’t retreat. A series of strikes entangled him for a moment before he was forced by Zong Shou’s sword intent to fly backward in retreat.

However, just that moment it gave the others a chance. Numerous blade shadows and energy wind struck downwards.

At that moment, Leidong laughed out, “So exhilarating, how can I miss out? It is a good idea to take the Universe Creation Records and use it as bed support! Zong Shou, you can’t bully people and look down on the heroes of the world...”

He rose up, a knife and a sword appearing by his side. Following this, thousands of knife and sword shadows covered Zong Shou like a wall.

At this moment, Zong Shou was so furious that he nearly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

It wasn’t easy for him to deal with the crazy attacks of Yuan Wushang, Jueyu, and the others. Now this Leidong ran over and joined in, not helping him but joining hands with the rest without hesitating to strike him!

He obviously knew that this fellow didn’t want to fight for the book. But he wanted to use this battle to train his knife and sword merger technique.

The eyes of Yuan Wushang and Jueyu were clear, they didn’t even bother to take a look at the book.

They probably had the same thought to treat Zong Shou as their grinding stone.

He felt really frustrated and hot blood was boiling in his body!

He hadn’t experienced such a feeling in a long time. So many equal strengthened opponents, open-hearted, people who could be considered top talents!

Just like ten thousand years ago when the Cloud World Seven Emperor fought for the Book of Eon Extreme Life!
