Chapter 491: 8th Level of the Soul Formation Realm - 491
Zhu Yi noticed a person approaching and looked over. The person coming seemed young, but based on his cultivation level he was far from it.
"You are Zhu Yi, correct? The Sect Master's student from a lower world?"
Zhu Yi nodded. "I am. Are you here to fight?"
The person once again nodded. "I am the strongest soul formation realm cultivator of the Heavenly Phoenix sect's sword sect disciples.
Zhu Yi had been able to tell he was part of the Heavenly Phoenix sect just from his clothes
"Can you fight a soul formation realm Chaos Beast alone?" Zhu Yi asked.
The person in front of him was clearly at the tenth level of the soul formation realm.
"Not quite." The person said, shaking his head.
Zhu Yi agreed. "In that case, I'm willing. I've never fought someone from one of the four sects."
Zhu Yi pulled out his sword, as did the person across from him. There was no need for any sort of official duel. One just had to beat the other up.
Fire wrapped around his opponent's sword as he slashed upward. A wave of fire Qi shot towards Zhu Yi. As someone both from this higher world and at the tenth level of soul formation realm, Zhu Yi would struggle to win. He decided to make a statement here in order to avoid more difficult fights in the future.
Instant completion. Since every powerful person was currently fighting, there was no need for Zhu Yi to hide it at all. Even if it was found out he was using time Qi, he was the Sect Masters student. Even in the absolute worst case scenario, he would probably be taken to the world tree and examined by someone more powerful. Perhaps that person would even be able to see and recognize his master.
Zhu Yi instantly appeared behind his opponent and used a powerful sword wave. His opponent was not even able to react. It was as if he had teleported.
He was hit in the back and sent flying. The duel was over. Zhu Yi could have easily killed him there, but obviously didn't.
The person was shocked beyond words. He eventually got up and walked away without saying anything. Even if he knew it was going to happen, he didn't have any confidence in winning. Nobody challenged Zhu Yi after seeing the result of the previous battle.
Zhu Yi simply waited for the fight up there to be over.
As a year passed, cultivators slowly returned. First was the space shattering realm cultivators. Elder Chit came down at this time.
He set up a much larger camp for the Sword Sect disciples. He also heard of Zhu Yi's victory in the duel and gave him a thumbs up.
After the space shattering realm cultivators were the lesser dao creation realm cultivators. Much less people came down, but with everyone combined there were a good few. Zhu Yi saw High Elder Jue descend at this time. He nodded in Zhu Yi's direction.
Finally, at the end of the year, the sect master and the other inner world realm cultivators returned. Although none had any injuries, it was only because they healed fast. They were all clearly exhausted.
The sword sect finally returned to the sect. The sect master's sword was once again used as the base of it all.
Zhu Yi returned to his cultivation room and began cultivating within the time bubble once again.
Now with god rank meridians, he was countless times faster. After 125 years within the time bubble and only 12.5 outside, Zhu Yi reached the 3rd level of the soul formation realm.
10,000 years passed within the time bubble. Almost exactly as Zhu Yi broke into the 8th level of the soul formation realm, it was time to fight Chaos Beasts again.
This time, Zhu Yi decided to go big. He would attempt to fight a Soul Formation realm Chaos beast.
Luckily for him, the thousand years it took for Chaos Beasts to come was merely an estimate. This time, they took around 1001 years, giving Zhu Yi enough time to become even stronger.
Zhu Yi met with the sect master. This time, the sect master seemed to be pleased with his cultivation speed. It was unknown what the sect master was thinking. Zhu Yi was not exactly as fast as the maximum cultivation speed when using the time bubble, but it was a great improvement from before.
The Sect Master's thoughts were unknown, but he seemed to believe in Zhu Yi a bit.
The same scene as before appeared. Zhu Yi rode with the Sect Master to the predicted battlefield. Zhu Yi still had no idea how they predicted the location.
He was so curious that he asked. "How does everyone get information on the location of Chaos Beasts?"
Even in his birth world, they had been able to predict it.
"It's all information from the World Tree. Even I'm not sure how it's done. They give out information to every single world that suffers from the attacks of Chaos Beasts."
Zhu Yi understood. It was probably some sort of special method. It didn't matter to him anyway. He was only curious.
As they flew towards the battlefield, the Sect Master turned to Zhu Yi. "Are you one hundred percent sure you want to do this? Fighting a soul formation realm Chaos Beast on the same level is extremely rare even in our world."
Zhu Yi nodded. "I'm sure. If I can't do it now, then I'll never be able to do it."
The Sect Master agreed and let him fight a soul formation realm Chaos Beast. They waited in the air once again. Around them were familiar faces.
After waiting for a month, the sect master looked up. "Take care of yourself. Don't die."
Along with some others, he flew up. As time passed, more and more people flew into space. When the strongest people left on the world were void traversing realm cultivators, space broke.
Chapter 492: Same Realm Chaos Beast - 492
As space broke, Zhu Yi instantly spotted a soul formation realm Chaos beast and sent a slash at it.
His slash hit it and cut it. The soul formation realm Chaos Beasts attention was instantly locked on Zhu Yi.
It charged forward with a power that was incomparable to a nascent soul realm Chaos beasts. Zhu Yi hurriedly backed away and brought it to a different location.
Feeling its power, he wasn't sure if it was actually possible to win. Regardless, he didn't have a choice anymore.
Now in a far away location, the Chaos Beast charged at Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi took out his sword and slashed down.
Breaking Through All Things. Directly colliding with the Chaos Beast, they were both sent flying back a few hundred steps. The Chaos Beast was far larger than a Nascent Soul realm Chaos beast. It was also much stronger.
Seeing the Chaos beast immediately charge back at him, Zhu Yi once again used breaking through all things, this time slashing up.
They were both sent flying back again. Zhu Yi felt his arms hurt from the sheer force of the Chaos Beast. Meanwhile, the Chaos Beast had some deep cuts on its face.
There was nothing else to do but charge forward. Breaking through all things only had two forms. Slashing up and slashing down. It was his strongest technique and the only way he could possibly go head to head with a Soul Formation realm Chaos Beast.
He could possibly slowly kill it with the formless sword, but that was risky and would take far too long.
They charged forward again. And again. And again. And again.
For an entire day, they fought back and forth. Both of Zhu Yi's arms were broken. So were his shoulders and part of his chest. The Chaos Beasts face was nothing but a pile of bloody mush. It had been cut countless times. Zhu Yi's Qi had thinned out long ago. His attacks were far weaker than before. He had to use less Qi in order to even continue fighting.
In the distance, he saw a few void traversing realm cultivators watching him. Since this was his battle, they wouldn't interfere unless he was going to die.
Zhu Yi could only hope that the Chaos Beast would die before him.
They collided again and again. Another day passed. Now, most of the people below the void traversing realm were watching him. Normally, such a fight would not attract much attention. However, this was a soul formation realm cultivator versus a soul formation realm Chaos Beast. Everyone was interested.
At this point, Zhu Yi was nearly completely out of Qi. Even as his attacks weakened and he absorbed Qi from the surroundings, he was still about to completely run out.
This needed to end, and he needed to end it.
"Remember everything you've learned about Breaking Through All Things. Your mastery is still only at the surface level." Zhou Fan suddenly spoke.
The Breaking Through All Things technique was extremely powerful, and even with his talent, Zhu Yi had only reached a sort of initial mastery, even if it was already very powerful.
Zhu Yi held his sword high and remembered everything. He poured all of his Qi into this one attack.
He charged forward once again. "Breaking Through All Things!"
He slashed down at the Chaos Beast. This slash felt different from every other one he had ever performed. It was as if he had a greater understanding of the technique, and what it truly meant to break through all things.
Zhu Yi hit the Chaos Beast. His slash cut through it, severing it into two pieces. He hurriedly moved away as the creature self-destructed and fell on the ground.
The people watching were naturally amazed. How many people got to see someone fight a Chaos Beast on the same level and win.
Zhou Fan moved over and absorbed the mist from the Chaos Beast. He took a minute to absorb it.
He walked back over to Zhu Yi. "Its effect is about thirty times that of a nascent soul realm Chaos Beast."
Zhu Yi could only slightly nod. He was on the verge of suffering from Qi exhaustion.
Some people from the sword sect came over to give him some spirit stones in order to help him recover. Even void traversing realm cultivators offered some.
"Thank you, but I have enough." Zhu Yi said as he pulled out a top grade spirit stone.
He began to absorb the Qi out of it and recover. After a few days, he was completely fine. Most of the battles within the world were wrapped up.
Zhu Yi stood up after recovering. As soon as he did so, he saw a familiar face. The last remaining name on his beat up list. Bai Wei'er.
She also saw him. She was staring at him in shock. As the daughter of the sect master of the celestial ice sect, she had come to watch the Chaos Beast fight. She had heard of someone fighting a Chaos Beast on the same level and wanted to come over. Unfortunately, although she was in the soul formation realm, she was not even close to strong enough to get close to such a battle. She could only stay away.
She decided to wait and gathered information on this person out of curiosity. He came from a lower world, something she found admirable. He was also the student of the Sect Master of the Sword sect.
There was no information on his name that she could find.
On this day, she finally came to see him, only to find Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi remembered her clearly, even after so many years. She had tried to tempt him with the universal cultivation manual. This was something that all of the top ten sects freely taught. Although some people in the lower world couldn't use it, it could be considered widely available. It was no wonder that everyone in this higher world used it.
Zhu Yi walked over to her. He was ready to take revenge.
"Bai Wei'er. I challenge you to a duel."
