Chapter 1157: Running Amuck
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sword-light coming from Luo Jiutian flashed constantly, accumulating a destructive force that could decimate the void. Although he wasn’t as proficient at the manipulation of sky law as Yuan Venerate Jinta, he had firmly gained the upper hand during this battle.
Plus, his advantage was increasing continuously!
“Xiantian Taiyi Yuan Veneratet!” someone said in a trembling voice as Luo Jiutian’s sword-light transformed instantly into a misty drizzle of stars all over the sky and sliced off Yuan Venerate Jinta’s hair.
Xiantian Taiyi Yuan Venerate was the final tier of a Taiyi Yuan Venerate’s control over the Sky Laws! Only a Xiantian Taiyi Yuan Venerate could break through the shackles of these limits and take one’s cultivation further.
The main reason Yuan Venerate Jinta was such an imposing figure was because his control of the Sky Laws had reached the point of a Xiantian Taiyi Yuan Venerate and he also had the potential to further control a second Sky Law.
Once a Taiyi Yuan Venerate could control a second Sky Law, their cultivation would improve by leaps and bounds!
However, he had just lost to Luo Jiutian, which meant that Luo Jiutian’s control over the Sky Laws was obviously above his.
“Luo Jiutian, I’ll take revenge for this humiliation someday!” Yuan Venerate Jinta was burning with rage, but he knew that this wasn’t the time to take revenge.
He was aware that he was bound to lose if this continued. Under the circumstances, he made the wise choice to give up when the odds were against him!
Yuan Venerate Jinta wasn’t the only one who wanted to leave. Many of the people who were worried that they would be implicated had already decided to leave, including the powerhouses that had attacked Luo Jiutian before he had become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.
They weren’t a match for Yuan Venerate Jinta and they naturally knew that they couldn’t go up against Luo Jiutian. When would they leave if not now?
Some of them even decided to find a place to hide for the time being!
“You are leaving? It’s too late!” Luo Jiutian glared at Yuan Venerate Jinta, who was about to escape and growled with a hint of murderous intent. As he said that, countless images of Luo Jiutian wielding his long sword started to fill up the surroundings.
Luo Jiutian’s figures were literally everywhere.
If these figures were classified into reality or illusion, one would realize that all of them were in fact very real. They had been formed by Luo Jiutian by using the power of his sky law so anyone that Yuan Venerate Jinta attacked would feel as if they were facing the real Luo Jiutian.
Yuan Venerate Jinta naturally understood the reason behind this but could only try his best while he was facing the figures of Luo Jiutian, which had completely covered the entire space.
He had to fight his way out!
His war halberd swept through the sky with immense power, but Yuan Venerate Jinta, who was already lagging behind in understanding his sky law and various other aspects, could only be beaten to a pulp.
He wasn’t just beaten. He was beaten to an extremely sorry state!
After one of his arms was chopped off, Yuan Venerate Jinta split himself into thousands of fragments and fled hastily in all directions as he wailed unwillingly.
This escape method was extremely embarrassing and would also destroy the physical body he had relied on for so many years.
Normally, a Taiyi Yuan Venerate would not make such a decision as long as there was another way out.
Yuan Venerate Jinta had been left with no choice but to self-implode. He uttered nothing about revenge as he fled. This wasn’t because he did not want to seek revenge but because he knew that he would only humiliate himself further if he made such a determined effort to speak again.
After observing the situation unfolding in the distance, Mountain Lord Fuyuan and his companions all felt a chill go down their spines.
They weren’t the only ones, as even Shao Fanzhu shuddered slightly. Luo Jiutian had just become a Taiyi Yuan Venerate and had managed to drive Yuan Venerate Jinta into imploding the body he had been building up for so many years. If Luo Jiutian was allowed to improve further, then...
Many thoughts went through Shao Fanzhu’s mind. He was slightly rejoicing that he hadn’t attacked Luo Jiutian before.
“Let’s go!” Shao Fanzhu told his subordinates.
However, just as he was about to leave, Luo Jiutian landed right in front of him while sending over a surge of sword-intent that shrouded him completely.
“Luo Jiutian, what are you doing?” Shao Fanzhu had never feared anything, but this time, he was slightly worried when Luo Jiutian appeared in front of him.
He really did not want to fight with Luo Jiutian now. Not only did he have no chance of winning, but it would increase Luo Jiutian’s prestige if he were to fight with him now.
“Don’t you know what I want to do, Shao Fanzhu?” Luo Jiutian said coldly. “You would not dare say you don’t know who Duolu Fantian is, right?”
Shao Fanzhu took a deep breath and replied, “Although Duolu Fantian and I are both members of the Dakongfan Sect, we do not have any affiliation. Plus, the plan to attack you has nothing to do with me!”
Luo Jiutian stared at Shao Fanzhu, who appeared to be speaking the truth. “I believe what you are saying.”
Shao Fanzhu laughed. “Since Brother Luo believes me, then all is good. If there’s nothing for me here, I’ll be leaving now.”
Although Shao Fanzhu wanted to speak more with Luo Jiutian, Luo Jiutian’s aura was now blazing hot. In the face of such a scary aura, Shao Fanzhu wanted to avoid provoking Luo Jiutian when his strength was at its peak.
Otherwise, he would be in serious trouble!
“Ha ha! I heard Shao Fanzhu has a profound cultivation and is going to be the future ruler of the Dakongfan Sect. I just broke through to the Taiyi Yuan Venerate today, so I hope Shao Fanzhu can give me some pointers.”
As he spoke, Luo Jiutian sent a wave of crazy sword-light over at Shao Fanzhu.
Shao Fanzhu had never thought that Luo Jiutian would attack him while he was being humiliated and even give such an unreasonable explanation!
He waved his left hand as a massive golden hand went up to meet the sword-light of Luo Jiutian. Contrary to what Yuan Venerate Jinta had felt before, Shao Fanzhu felt as though the sword-light could cut through everything in its path.
His massive gold hand was followed by a majestic aura that could crush everything in sight, yet this imposing aura was cracked by the sword-light of Luo Jiutian.
Although he might not necessarily be weaker than Luo Jiutian if the fight continued, he knew that there was no advantage for him to use.
Luo Jiutian got stronger as the fight continued. Upon seeing that the sword-light of Luo Jiutian began to split into millions of individual sword-lights, Shao Fanzhu decided to use his Sky-Splitting Stone.
He didn’t use the Sky-Splitting Stone to defeat Luo Jiutian but to force Luo Jiutian to retreat.
There would be no benefits for Shao Fanzhu if he continued tangling with Luo Jiutian. Hence, he took advantage of the opening created during the clash of his Sky-Splitting Stone and Luo Jiutian’s sword net to fly off into the distance.
Shao Fanzhu fled extremely fast. After the departure of Shao Fanzhu, there was basically nothing that could threaten Luo Jiutian...
Luo Yunyang watched Luo Jiutian attack Shao Fanzhu directly and couldn’t help admiring his father’s dominance in secret.
Since he couldn’t find a good reason, it would be better to go over and learn from each other while sparring! Although it seemed very easy to offend someone by doing so, it was better to offend someone than make people think that he was a pushover.
While gently tapping the ground with his Six-Dragon Sun Striking Bow, Luo Yunyang felt a little regret. He had intended to come over with the Six-Dragon Sun Striking Bow to test out his strength and intimidate his foes. However, it was very hard for him to realize his ideas now.
Just as Luo Yunyang began to shake his head, Luo Jiutian’s words echoed in his ears. “What are you still doing there? Hurry back to the Taixu Sect! Remember, what happened today had nothing to do with you.”
Luo Yunyang was not surprised he had been discovered by his father, as he was not hiding his aura at all. After hearing his father’s orders, he pondered this for a moment before deciding to return.
Although it seemed like he had done nothing, Luo Yunyang had actually helped Luo Jiutian a great deal. It’s just that he had not received any credit for it.
After returning to the Taixu Sect via the transportation array, Luo Yunyang felt that the way many people looked at him had changed.
Some people had become more jealous than ever, but many people also put on respectful smiles.
“Young Master Luo, your father really excelled this time. I guess he will now receive more attention from the Sacred Venerate and His Majesty will definitely give your father a position suitable for his current status.” A man was beaming as he told Luo Yunyang, “Young Master Luo, don’t forget your old friends after you make it big!”
Luo Yunyang did not really have much of an impression of the man, but he didn’t want to dampen the man’s enthusiasm so he replied, “Of course, old friends can’t be forgotten, but I have some urgent matters to take care of now that may require your help!”
“A while ago, when my father was competing with Shao Fanzhu, some people didn’t like me. My cultivation is weak, so are you guys going to help me out?”
Although Luo Yunyang said this in a soliciting way, the way he looked at the martialists fawning over him seemed to be filled with hidden implications and a tacit threat.
“Of course! How dare they be rude to Young Master Luo? This is truly reprehensible!” the man said in indignation. “This time, we must show them their limits and teach them who they cannot afford to offend.”
Although most of the people in the Taixu Sect were talented, the majority of them would still choose to submit to people who were more talented or had more resources than them.
While this sort of submission was uncomfortable, it was not shameful at all.
“Senior Brother Luo, Master Jinta is asking you to go over!” While many disciples of the Outer Gate were clamoring to teach those who had dared to be rude to Luo Yunyang a lesson, a disciple of the Inner Gate addressed Luo Yunyang respectfully.
