Chapter 500: Round 6 - 500
It seemed that Chen Jie had made his appearance as invincible even in the wider universe. It was no wonder that the Sword Princess had been a part of the White Palace City inheritance trial.
"I was actually born in the same world as Chen Jie." Zhu Yi said.
The Sword Princess's daughter's eyes lit up. "Do you know more about Chen Jie? I've only heard a bit about him."
"On my world, he created an inheritance under a place called White Palace City."
The Sword Princess's daughter interrupted. "White Palace City? I've heard of that place. It is where Chen Jie lives on the world tree."
So Chen Jie had created another White Palace City off of the world.
"I've always wanted to visit it, but never got the chance."
At this time, Zhu Yi and the Sword Princess's daughter heard a shout. It was calling an unfamiliar name.
"That's me. Gotta go." She said before leaving.
"So she is Lei Cen, daughter of the Sword Princess."
It seemed that Zhu Yi had an opponent he had to look out for.
He returned to his room and practiced the sword for a day. The next day, he returned to the cafeteria and found a new food.
It was known as caviar. Zhu Yi tried it, and once again, it was good. Luckily, he could just eat it whole this time.
He repeated the same thing the next day and over the rest of the week. He never again interacted with the daughter of the Sword Princess.
She was a nice girl, but he wasn't that type of cultivator. Some cultivators spent their entire life dedicated to cultivation, while some pursued things such as love. He was the former.
The competition started again. Zhou Fan stood in the crowd instead of next to Zhu Yi. Otherwise, he would be noticed.
There were 64 people remaining for the 5th round. From here on, only the elites remained. It seemed as if it was rigged to make sure that luck didn't play a factor. All the weak people were gone.
Almost everyone that remained was at the tenth level of the void traversing realm. Only Zhu Yi and a few others weren't.
Zhu Yi was the first to go up. He faced a grown man with a full beard. He used a great sword. As soon as the battle started, the man with the greatsword began to spin around while holding the greatsword out.
Wind Qi gathered around him and quickly formed a tornado. Zhu Yi used the formless sword, but it was canceled out by the tornado of Wind Qi.
The tornado weakened a bit, but clearly grew stronger as the man kept spinning. Zhu Yi didn't waste any more time with the formless sword, even though he knew he could win with it.
The tornado was strong enough to distort space, but Zhu Yi charged forward and slashed down.
Breaking Through All Things.
The tornado was split, and the space within the arena cracked. The man was instantly sent flying without resistance, only surviving due to protection mechanisms.
Although he wasn't in the Space Shattering realm, Zhu Yi could somewhat break space. It wasn't too rare within the universe, but also not at all common.
Nobody went unsurprised.
With that, Zhu Yi won his fight. He still hadn't even used Time Qi.
The next few fights took on average a day each. Only a few like Zhu Yi's were much quicker. The daughter of the Sword Princess, Lei Cen, was one of the few that quickly defeated her opponent. She moved fast and gracefully.
Although the Sword Princess had only been at the Foundation Establishment realm in the inheritance, Zhu Yi still felt as if the Sword Princess's daughter was lacking something in comparison.
Zhu Yi paid more attention to the contestants this round.
It took around 20 days for this round to finish up.
Without another break, Zhu Yi went up to fight again.
Although his previous opponent was good, this opponent was the first real challenge of the tournament for Zhu Yi.
He had quickly dealt with his opponent, similar to Zhu Yi.
He did not use an elemental technique, but pure swordsmanship and sword intent.
Not wanting to reveal any trump cards just yet, Zhu Yi decided to have a good fight.
At the sound of the start, Zhu Yi used the formless sword. Although his opponent could not see or sense a thing, he moved wildly and unpredictably. His movement technique was annoying.
He closed the gap, only getting hit a few times, and slashed horizontally at Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi used the Sword Walk movement technique and appeared behind him.
His opponent turned and swung, but Zhu Yi used his opponent's sword as a stepping stone and launched himself into the air.
While flying, he released countless formless swords. Although he had not increased the number of formless swords past 1000, this was a choice. He focused on quality instead of quantity. Each sword was now stronger and harder to detect.
Using a much faster speed than before, Zhu Yi launched 1000 formless swords and sheathed his sword.
Although his opponent moved weirdly, he could not avoid the powerful formless swords. Perhaps if he was a person focused on defense or pure movement speed, he would be able to survive.
However, this was a sword sect competition. Such people were far and few.
HIs opponent instantly received countless cuts as if he was thrown into a blender, but he moved forward.
He was resolute in his actions and strong. Zhu Yi respected him. It was not that his opponent was weak, but that Zhu Yi was too strong. Perhaps this man was able to defeat a Chaos Beast at the same level when he was in the Soul Formation realm.
Just as he thought he was about to finish his opponent, two more swords seemed to appear to the sides of his opponent out of nowhere. They were faint and illusory, like weak holograms.
As his opponent charged forward, two illusory people grabbed the sword and charged with his opponent.
Chapter 501: The Final Four - 501
Zhu Yi used the formless sword on the two illusory bodies, but it went straight through them as if they weren't even real.
In that case, Zhu Yi attacked his opponent with the formless sword. As he did so, the two illusory bodies used their sword to defend against the formless sword.
Zhu Yi used multiple, but it was as if their bodies had suddenly become real. They were hit directly with the formless sword, but not injured.
All the while, his opponent continued charging.
He and the two illusory bodies were getting uncomfortably close to Zhu Yi.
He didn't know what more his opponent had planned, and he didn't plan to find out.
He charged forward as well. Breaking Through All Things.
At the same time that he attacked, his opponent and the two illusory bodies swung their swords in sync.
Whatever technique they used, it was inferior to Breaking Through All Things.
Without too much resistance, Breaking Through All Things broke through their attacks and sent his opponent flying, completely incapacitated. The two illusory bodies were dispersed and Zhu Yi won.
His fight would end up the quickest out of all of them. Some fought for multiple days. There were only a few that were about as fast as Zhu Yi's. One was the Sword Princess's daughter's fight.
There were also two other fights that didn't last as long as the others. It seemed that one of these four were most likely to win.
It took 3 months for the 16 fights to end. Only 16 people remained. From their numbers, it seemed that Zhu Yi would only end up meeting one of the other three potential winners in the ninth round, the round between 4 contestants.
The 7th round soon started. Zhu Yi fought first as always. His opponent was stronger than the last, but not by too much. The last opponent and his current one had basically reached the peak of normal strength seen in this tournament.
After some back and forth, Zhu Yi used Breaking Through All Things to quickly end the fight.
The next fights passed by faster than the last round. Of the 8 fights, four were finished quickly. The other four took a total of a month to finish.
With 8 contestants remaining, Zhu Yi fought first. As expected, this opponent was only slightly stronger than the last two.
He won with a single Breaking Through All Things. This round was the quickest in the tournament. It did even last a single day.
At the end of the 8th round, four people remained. Each one was one of the four that finished their fights quickly the entire tournament.
If Zhu Yi was seeing right, then the tournament was more filled than for any of the other rounds. It seemed that some people were only interested in the best fights.
Looking at their numbers, Zhu Yi's opponent was an older looking man. He was nearing ten million years of age, despite having enough talent to break through long ago.
From the looks of it, he had been waiting for this tournament, making sure that he had the highest chance of winning. There were a few older people in the tournament, but only this one had made it this far.
As they waited for the round to start, Zhu Yi spotted Bai Wei and Bai Wei'er in the crowd. There was a hint of nervousness on the face of both of them. They had never once thought that Zhu Yi could come so far. At this point, Zhu Yi could not lose the bet even if he lost. It would only end up a draw even if he failed here.
What they worried about was the possibility of him winning.
Zhu Yi focused his attention back on his opponent. The round was soon to start.
"Good luck." The old man said.
"You too." Zhu Yi responded.
Zhu Yi did not plan to hold back. He knew that this old man was strong.
As soon as the round officially started, Zhu Yi shot forward and swung up. Breaking Through All Things.
This old man had watched Zhu Yi's fight, and was extremely wary of this technique. He weirdly moved to the side, perfectly avoiding the attack and stabbing at Zhu Yi with a rapier.
His sword only moved forward once, but it felt as if tens of thousands of tiny shadows were following it.
Zhu Yi did not risk getting hit at all. He swung his sword down. Breaking Through All Things.
The sword shadows were decimated, but the old man dodged yet again. He repeated the same attack, and Zhu Yi responded the same.
After dodging once again, the old man jumped back and stabbed his sword into the ground. Shadows seemed to form on the ground and shot at Zhu Yi like tentacles. This was the old man's first time showing this move.
Breaking Through All Things.
The tentacles were broken through and the old man had to dodge.
Breaking Through All Things only had one goal. To break through all things. All things meant everything.
Unless the old man could overpower Zhu Yi or hit him with an attack he was unable to react to, Zhu Yi would inevitably win.
The old man twitched as everything he threw at Zhu Yi was broken through. His only hope was to use a great speed, but he wasn't sure if he even had the ability to bypass Zhu Yi before he could release that technique.
The Breaking Through All Things technique was truly disgusting to fight against.
The old man circled around the arena while attacking Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi did not get too offensive yet. He still had enough Qi for now.
Zhu Yi saw probably a hundred different techniques used by the old man, but none could bypass Breaking Through All Things.
Eventually, the old man seemed to resolve himself. He launched himself forward with his rapier pointed directly at Zhu Yi.
Shadow Spike. Breaking Through All Things.
