Chapter 3033: Wu Yue
Feng Xi closely followed Zhang Ruochen, saying, "The Dark Great Triangle Star Domain appears calm on the surface, but it is extremely dangerous. If you venture forward alone, once you lose your bearings, you will be trapped in a dead end. However, the Feng Clan is different. Every stretch of the way we travel, we set up a Star Domain Space Teleportation Array. Even if we cannot find the Sword Realm, we can still return."
Zhang Ruochen led the yellow ox, passing through one formation after another, without responding to her words.
Suddenly, at the edge of a cliff on the divine ship, he saw Feng Yan standing alone there, his expression quite desolate, looking deeply melancholy.
Feng Yan also saw the two of them, a puzzled look in his eyes as he walked over and said, "Sister, does Father still refuse to see me?"
"Father said that unless you break through to the God Realm, you should not appear before him. But given your current state, it is best not to attempt the Divine Tribulation," Feng Xi said.
"I understand."
Feng Yan looked at Zhang Ruochen with a strange gaze, sizing him up from head to toe.
"This is Fellow Daoist Qing Pingzi from the Kunlun Realm, a true god of the Daoist lineage. He has done a great favor for the Feng Clan and killed two true gods of the Hell Realm in the Heavenly Beginning Civilization Great World," Feng Xi said.
During the Flame Seed Assembly, Feng Yan had seen Qing Pingzi display his divine might, dragging out Lan Jun, a god of the Shura Clan. He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, True God."
"No need for formalities."
Zhang Ruochen raised Feng Yan with an empty hand, then looked at the two bronze doors covered in divine patterns beside them, and asked, "Young Master Yan, are you guarding someone here?"
Outside the bronze doors, heavily armed guards stood watch, clearly indicating that this was an extremely important place.
Feng Yan said, "This is the divine prison aboard the Xufeng Divine Ship. It holds several true gods of the Hell Realm."
Zhang Ruochen sighed inwardly. He knew that Xiao Hei and Blood Butcher had certainly not escaped, but fortunately, they were still alive and had not been cleaved in two by Feng Yunba's sword.
It seemed he could not just leave like this.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was thinking of an excuse to stay, a brilliant light appeared in the distant darkness.
A powerful fluctuation of divine power came from that direction.
The Feng Clan gods on the divine ship stepped out one after another, gazing into the distance.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes narrowed. He saw that, billions of miles away, two extremely powerful divine forces were clashing, shaking the void and disrupting the rules of heaven and earth. Sword light flashed, tearing through space.
One divine force contained a strong power of light.
The other divine force was dark and profound.
The two were naturally opposed to each other.
Zhang Ruochen was astonished and murmured, "The Radiant Divine Sword and the Dark Divine Sword."
Both divine swords were pushed to their limits, the might of the divine artifacts shaking the spacetime billions of miles away.
But clearly, the Dark Divine Sword erupted with greater power, drawing an endless stream of dark rules from heaven and earth. With each slash, it sent the Radiant Divine Sword flying.
The wielder of the Radiant Divine Sword seemed to sense the Xufeng Divine Ship and rapidly fled in this direction.
Gradually, Zhang Ruochen could see the clash of the two divine swords clearly.
The one controlling the Radiant Divine Sword was a young woman in white robes, her figure slender and graceful, her body pure and flawless, even her long black hair had turned into strands like white jade silk.
But she was covered in bloodstains, the white light on her body continuously fading.
Chasing behind her was a divine sword thousands of feet long.
The black radiance emitted by the divine sword could devour all light. Other gods could not see the sword body at all, only a massive black hole.
Every time the black hole struck, it erupted with billions of sword beams, sending the white-robed woman flying.
Divine blood spilled into the void.
"Ahead, are you gods of the Feng Clan? I am Xuan Yuan Qing of the Radiant Divine Temple."
A very pleasant divine thought voice crossed tens of millions of miles, reaching the Xufeng Divine Ship.
"Boom!"
The entire Xufeng Divine Ship shook violently.
Zhang Ruochen looked up and saw a sword light shooting out from the divine ship. Instantly, a vortex-shaped sea of fire appeared above their heads, erupting with a terrifying temperature hotter than a star, its energy frighteningly immense.
The Qingping Sword on his back trembled violently, emitting a piercing sword cry.
Feng Yunba's giant divine shadow stood proudly in the void, saying, "Shuang Cheng Mo, take my sword strike."
The massive vortex of fire, at an unimaginable speed, instantly flew out tens of millions of miles, as if tearing through space, colliding with that black hole.
"Boom!"
The black hole was shattered.
Shuang Cheng Mo, who had been one with his sword, was separated from the Dark Divine Sword, flying thousands of miles away.
A deep fiery wound appeared on Shuang Cheng Mo's dark divine body, pure yang sword qi eroding his flesh, piercing into his divine soul.
No sooner had Shuang Cheng Mo refined the pure yang sword qi than he saw the Xufeng Divine Ship rapidly approaching. Knowing he was no match for Feng Yunba, he decisively fled.
"You think you can leave? Do you think you can escape?"
Feng Yunba used a secret technique, stepping across millions of miles in a single stride, channeling the Pure Yang Divine Sword to deliver a second strike.
All the sword dao rules in heaven and earth were drained away, converging onto the blade of the Pure Yang Divine Sword. Where the sword passed, space shattered into pieces, turning into a long chaotic belt.
Even the fragments of space seemed to ignite.
Zhang Ruochen inhaled a breath of cold air and said, "Shuang Cheng Mo is at the Taibai Realm. Facing such a powerful opponent as Fourth Master Feng, I'm afraid he'll be cleaved in two by a single sword strike. The Pure Yang Divine Sword is indeed as terrifying as the legends say!"
Feng Yan said proudly, "Back when the Pure Yang Heavenly Venerable wielded the Pure Yang Divine Sword, a single strike made the entire Wuding Divine Sea boil. That one sword strike silenced the entire Hell Realm, not a single evil ghost dared to come out of the Yellow Spring Star River, not a single corpse dared to step into the land of the living. One man, one sword, suppressed an entire era, and all the evils of the heavens dared not show their faces."
"Boom!"
Sure enough, as the Pure Yang Divine Sword descended, Shuang Cheng Mo could not block it even with all his might. His dark divine body exploded.
All divine matter and divine soul were burned away by the pure yang divine qi.
One sword strike cleaved a great god, incinerating everything.
Such was the might of a divine artifact!
Zhang Ruochen thought of his own six divine swords, but unfortunately, they were severely corroded, their power greatly diminished, and their artifact spirits had not reached the true god level, so they could not compare to the Pure Yang Divine Sword.
The power of the divine sword had reached such a terrifying level that it could cross realms in battle.
The sword spirit of the Pure Yang Divine Sword probably possessed a very formidable cultivation.
Zhang Ruochen's gaze then shifted to the mass of white light floating in the distant void—or rather, two white Radiant Divine Clouds. The white-robed woman stood on one Radiant Divine Cloud, with another suspended above her head.
The two Radiant Divine Clouds were each the size of a star, and a sword of extreme brightness floated before her.
The wounds on this woman's body had already healed. Her white robes fluttered, her skin whiter than the fabric, like a most sacred angel, or a fairy from a scroll painting.
Zhang Ruochen had no good feelings toward the gods of the Radiant Divine Temple and quickly withdrew his gaze.
The Feng Clan cultivators on the Xufeng Divine Ship cheered in excitement.
Slaying a great god of the Darkness Temple and seizing the Dark Divine Sword—this was destined to be a major event that would shake the world.
But Feng Yunba's face showed no ripple, still suspended in the distant darkness.
"Something's not right!" Zhang Ruochen said.
Feng Xi asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's an illusion—a terrifying illusion. Quickly, activate all the defensive formations of the Xufeng Divine Formation," Zhang Ruochen realized.
Just as Feng Xi was about to give the order, suddenly, a powerful divine force struck a place ten thousand feet above the Xufeng Divine Ship, blocked by a ship-protecting divine formation.
But the three-thousand-mile-long ship flipped over, tilting violently to the right.
Zhang Ruochen immediately released his spiritual power, pressing his palm against the ground to counter the tilting force.
"Activate all ship-protecting formations! Hurry, a powerful enemy is ambushing us." Feng Xuan's divine voice spread across the three-thousand-mile ship.
The Feng Clan cultivators on the ship were jolted from their excitement and began rushing about frantically.
Feng Yunba finally spotted his opponent and said, "Wu Yue, I didn't expect you to come to the Dark Great Triangle Star Domain as well. Come out, your illusions cannot fool me."
Countless light points flew out from Feng Yunba's body, evolving into a vast Truth Realm Form. He raised his hand, channeling the Pure Yang Divine Sword to strike at a dark area near the two Radiant Divine Clouds.
"Boom!"
In the darkness, a thousand-mile-long talisman pattern appeared, clashing with the Pure Yang Divine Sword.
It actually… actually blocked the Pure Yang Divine Sword!
Behind the thousand-mile divine talisman stood a slender figure wrapped entirely in a black robe, only a jade-white hand exposed, lightly pressing against the center of the talisman.
Shuang Cheng Mo stood behind her, holding the Dark Divine Sword.
No more than five gods present could see her black figure.
The other cultivators could only see the thousand-mile divine talisman blocking the Pure Yang Divine Sword.
Even the usually calm Feng Xi changed color, exclaiming in shock, "How could it be her."
It was not surprising that Feng Xi was so shocked; even Zhang Ruochen's heart skipped a beat.
Zhang Ruochen had specifically looked up Wu Yue's information. This woman was not only the founder of the Spirit God Hall of the Darkness Temple but had already possessed spiritual power at the eighty-second level on the Battlefield of the Gods a hundred thousand years ago.
She was a divine master of illusion, a divine master of talismans, and a divine master of alchemy.
Other spiritual power cultivators could spend their entire lives reaching the level of divine master in just one of these paths and could look down on the world, earning the reverence of gods.
She cultivated all three paths simultaneously, excelling in every one.
Now, a hundred thousand years later, no one knew to what terrifying height her spiritual power had reached.
The reason Zhang Ruochen had looked into her was that he had learned she might be the birth mother of Wu Jiang.
After all, when the Jue Miao Zen Maiden had taken the Dark Domain Heavenly Net, she had spoken of Wu Jiang's birth mother in very mysterious terms. How could Zhang Ruochen not be worried?
One was Wu Yue, the other was Wu Jiang—just by the names, there was definitely a connection.
At least, that was what Zhang Ruochen believed.
Although the Jue Miao Zen Maiden had taken the Dark Domain Heavenly Net and taken the blame for killing Wu Jiang, Zhang Ruochen could not let his guard down.
Wu Yue's voice came out, laughing lightly, "The Xufeng Divine Ship lives up to its reputation, able to block my full-force strike. But you, Feng Yunba, fall a bit short. Even wielding the Pure Yang Divine Sword, is that all you've got?"
"Hmph!"
Feng Yunba snorted coldly, forming a sword seal with his hand, controlling the Pure Yang Divine Sword to cut inch by inch into the thousand-mile divine talisman, causing the talisman patterns to burn.
"Boom!"
The talisman patterns shattered.
Wu Yue and Shuang Cheng Mo standing behind were shattered by the Pure Yang Divine Sword, turning into two clouds of illusionary mist, dissipating into the void.
