# Chapter 1215: Forcibly Challenging the Nameless
Yun Che had actually received it... and received it head-on!
That was the sword of the Sword Lord, the Nameless Sword Light that Jun Xilei had unleashed at the cost of damaging her own essence blood and talent, even risking her life... and Yun Che had actually received it!
Even though they were present at the scene and had witnessed it with their own eyes, they simply couldn't believe their eyes.
"He actually... blocked... it?" Huo Rulie, who had already been frightened out of his wits, vigorously rubbed his eyes.
Although the Heaven-Defying Sword had been blasted away, he was severely injured, and his aura was in complete chaos—he could be described as utterly miserable—but he had withstood the Nameless Sword Light and stood up again within just a few breaths.
"This... how is this possible..." Water Mark said with his mouth wide open, murmuring.
"..." Shui Qianheng frowned sideways, remaining silent for a long time. Even he found it deeply unbelievable.
Shui Meiyin placed her small hands on her chest, and her heart was still beating terrifyingly fast. After a long while, her face finally regained a bit of rosiness, and she whispered softly, "I knew it... Brother Yun Che would definitely be fine... thank goodness..."
Shui Yingyue gave Shui Meiyin a deep look, her gaze quite complex. She had always believed that Shui Meiyin's sudden infatuation with Yun Che was an impulse, mostly playful, and likely a aftereffect of her soul's collapse that would soon pass.
But watching her various unprecedented expressions of worry, excitement, fear... and even tears glistening in her bright eyes...
These were telling Shui Yingyue... although she didn't know why, she might have truly engraved Yun Che in her heart, not just simple fun or a temporary admiration.
But Yun Che's crisis was far from over.
Staring at the risen Yun Che, Jun Xilei raised the Nameless Sword again, its invisible sword might straight up to the sky.
"Enough, that's enough..." Jun Wuming closed his eyes. His words had never been so powerless. He understood that at this point, it was even more impossible to stop Jun Xilei.
The sword might gathered again. The sky was darkening, not a trace of cloud visible. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people want to vomit blood. Yun Che, directly locked by the sword might, felt as if demon fangs were hanging over his head, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
Anyone could clearly feel that the sword might gathered in this sword... was even stronger than the previous one!
"Yun Che, retreat immediately!" Huo Rulie roared sternly. "Life is more important than anything! In this battle, you have already won!"
Yun Che had already personally experienced the terror of the Nameless Sword, and the sword Jun Xilei was about to swing was even more terrifying than the previous one. Moreover, Yun Che had already been severely injured by the first sword... Huo Rulie believed that Yun Che must know that there was absolutely no way he could receive this sword.
Faced with the first sword, he didn't flee but chose to withstand it head-on—that was because of his strong pride, and also because he didn't know the terror of the Nameless Sword. Since he had already experienced it himself, he should understand what choice to make... In Huo Rulie's eyes, Yun Che was an extremely clever person. Even if his bones were proud, he would never disregard his life for the sake of dignity like Jun Xilei.
But Yun Che didn't retreat half a step. He stared straight at the Nameless Sword, extended his arm, and the Heaven-Defying Sword flew back into his hand. But instead of raising it horizontally, he directly withdrew it, and the flame light on his body completely extinguished.
In its place was the light blue ice phoenix glow.
A long cry rang out. The Arcane Firmament Illusory Deity was released again, but this time it was the Ice Phoenix Deity Shadow.
Everyone was shocked again... Yun Che's posture indicated that he was still going to forcibly withstand Jun Xilei's second sword.
"This... is this kid really not afraid of death!" Huo Rulie's hair stood on end as he roared anxiously.
Crack crack crack crack crack...
Both Yun Che and the Ice Phoenix Illusory Deity flashed with explosive blue light. Ice rapidly condensed, forming layer upon layer of ice crystal defenses in front of him. In just a few breaths while Jun Xilei gathered her sword might, most of the Feng Shen Platform was covered with ice forests, as cold as an ice domain.
The same posture, the same simplest and most basic sword light—Jun Xilei's second sword crashed down at this moment!
In that instant, Yun Che felt as if all the blood in his body had been frozen solid by the terrifying pressure. The intense death aura piercing straight through to the depths of his heart and soul told him that this sword's might was nearly twice as strong as the first!
The exclamations from the spectator stands were far louder than before, but Yun Che couldn't hear a single sound. Everything was completely swallowed by the unmatched sword might that didn't belong to this level.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...
Yun Che retreated as fast as he could. In front of him, wherever the Nameless Sword Light swept, the ice crystal defenses he had painstakingly built were shattered like rotten wood layer by layer. But the momentum of the Nameless Sword Light barely diminished.
In just an instant, all the ice crystal defenses were crushed into powder. At that moment, a phoenix cry tore through the air. Somehow, the Ice Phoenix Illusory Deity's shadow had multiplied several times its normal size, its entire body sparkling with ice light as if covered in blue crystal. Its ice wings flared high, and it charged straight at the Nameless Sword Light.
Crunch!!!
An aurora of the polar region blazed on the Feng Shen Platform, covering the entire sky with a dreamlike blue light.
In the midst of the aurora, the Nameless Sword Light swept out, continuing straight toward Yun Che. This time, everyone clearly detected that its sword might had weakened... but even so, it was still terrifyingly formidable.
Yun Che stopped retreating, and his power gathered to its extreme at this moment. The red profound energy under the Heaven-Shaking state was violently agitated from being too intensely concentrated, as if it might collapse and spiral out of control at any moment.
His gaze and spiritual sense locked tightly onto the approaching Nameless Sword Light, and at this moment, his arms suddenly spread wide.
"Cloud-Sealing Sun-Locking!!"
His entire profound energy erupted wildly. On Yun Che's body, the most extreme and massive Evil God Barrier in history unfolded.
Almost instantly, the Evil God Barrier expanded to several kilometers away. At the same time, the Nameless Sword Light slashed across and struck the Evil God Barrier.
Hiss~~~~~~~~~~
The sound of impact was extremely sharp. Falling on the ears, it felt like a million steel saws were cutting into the heart, making it incredibly uncomfortable. But not a single person on the spectator stands covered their ears; all stared wide-eyed at the scene on the Feng Shen Platform...
The Nameless Sword Light... had stopped!
It stopped before the faintly visible barrier, with only the sharp, piercing sound of energy tearing continuing.
But this halt lasted only a single breath. As the sound of energy tearing suddenly changed, the Evil God Barrier began to violently shrink under the pressure of the Nameless Sword Light.
Three kilometers...
Two kilometers...
One kilometer...
A hundred zhang...
Yun Che's gaze was deep, his face slightly twisted. He used all his strength to hold on, but the Evil God Barrier continued to shrink rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it was compressed to mere tens of zhang.
The power of the Nameless Sword Light was gradually weakening, but it still continued to exert overwhelming pressure on Yun Che. The speed of the Evil God Barrier's contraction slowed, but it was still being forced back step by step.
Finally, when it was compressed to less than ten zhang, the contraction of the Evil God Barrier finally stopped, as if it had barely withstood the Nameless Sword Light. But by this time, the Evil God Barrier was completely deformed. Then, a pale crack appeared on the invisible barrier, and in an instant, it spread like lightning, covering most of the barrier.
Yun Che was drenched in sweat, and almost every muscle on his body trembled uncontrollably.
Maintaining the Evil God Barrier required enormous consumption every moment, let alone such an extreme barrier. At this point, he knew he was nearing his limit, and the Evil God Barrier had also reached its limit.
No...
Yun Che's gaze gradually turned ruthless. He gritted his teeth, and a flame light suddenly appeared on his body. A cluster of flame ignited on the Evil God Barrier, spreading rapidly, turning the originally colorless barrier into a flame barrier.
Under the firelight, the Evil God Barrier suddenly collapsed, exploding into an immensely huge golden sea of fire. At the same instant, the power of the Nameless Sword Light fully erupted. The Feng Shen Platform shattered on a large scale, and jade fragments flew everywhere.
In the midst of the firelight, Yun Che's figure flew backward at extreme speed like a falling meteor. The wound on his chest completely burst open, once again scattering a large rain of blood in the air.
Boom!!
Yun Che flew sideways for dozens of kilometers before crashing heavily onto the Feng Shen Platform. His bleeding body was bounced high and continued to be thrown backward.
And behind him was the edge of the Feng Shen Platform!
Yun Che was heavily injured and swept away. Even if he wasn't dead or unconscious, in this state, it was impossible for him to borrow any force. The outcome was already determined.
Just as everyone thought Yun Che would fall off the Feng Shen Platform in the next instant, a blue light suddenly shot out from his body, transforming into an Ice Phoenix Deity Shadow. The divine shadow's ice wings spread wide, and a blast of ice storm swept down, rolling Yun Che high into the air and tossing him far back.
The Arcane Firmament's release didn't require moving the body or using profound power—it only needed intent. This was also the most powerful aspect of the Arcane Firmament.
Boom!
Yun Che crashed heavily back onto the Feng Shen Platform. His bones and meridians felt like they were splitting, causing immense pain. He directly withdrew the Ice Phantom Deity Shadow because the little power he had left could barely sustain it.
He pressed his hand to his chest, forcibly freezing all the wounds on his body. Although he was in agony all over, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up... because he had finally blocked Jun Xilei's second sword!
Although he had almost exhausted all his strength and was severely injured again, he had successfully blocked it.
"Blocked... it again..."
This thought, like a faint sound that only appears in dreams, stirred in the hearts and souls of everyone.
"Unbelievable." Shui Qianheng took a slight breath and muttered to himself, "This kid, how many more trump cards does he have?"
Shui Yingyue stared blankly for a long time, then let out a faint sigh: "I... am not his match."
"Huh?" Shui Yinghen said in surprise, "Second Sister, what did you say?"
"I am not his match." The same sentence, when Shui Yingyue said it again, was much calmer: "At least, I would never be able to block that sword just now, even if I used all my strength."
Shui Qianheng glanced sideways but said nothing.
"Ah..." Shui Yinghen was stunned for a long time.
"In other words, even if Jun Xilei hadn't fallen for Yun Che's 'ambush' from the start, she still wouldn't be a match for Yun Che. Yun Che did this partly to vent his anger and partly to hide his strength." Shui Yingyue slightly raised her head. "His target is not Jun Xilei, not me... but Luo Changsheng!"
After disappearing for three days, Yun Che's suddenly soaring strength had shocked the entire Eastern Divine Region.
And this... Yun Che was still hiding something!
On the spectator stands and throughout the Eastern Divine Region, they stared fixedly at the blood-soaked Yun Che. Although he was severely injured all over, lying on the ground, seeming barely able to stand, not a single person sneered at his miserable state, not a single gaze held even a hint of contempt... even some Realm Kings couldn't calm their inner turmoil.
From the beginning of the Feng Shen Battle until now, he had gone from being questioned, ridiculed, and regarded as a disgrace, to making a stunning debut, captivating the entire audience, and then shaking the entire Eastern Divine Region... Every time he stepped onto the Feng Shen Platform, he brought a different kind of shock, forcing them to reevaluate him...
Until today, it could no longer be described by the word "shock."
Those peerless experts who had lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years had seen countless prodigies in their lifetimes. Perhaps there had been several "Jun Xileis" or several "Luo Changshengs," but there would never be a second "Yun Che"!
Yun Che propped himself up with his arms on the ground, adjusting his breathing. Just as he was about to stand up, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and he raised his head sharply.
In the distance of his vision, he saw Jun Xilei's black hair flying, her gaze unfocused, her life aura as fragile as a weak willow. But in her hand, the Nameless Sword was slowly raised again, once again gathering a sword might that made the wind and clouds change color.
Yun Che's face tightened, his pupils contracting...
Could it be that she... can still swing a third sword!?
