Capítulo 15: The Heavenly Saint Edge
Mushin Yuan threw the spear with unbeknownst power. It was like a swirling storm of destruction as it grew closer to Julong. He was rather unsettled by the attack, but he had an idea as to how he could stop it.
His fingers formed a sign. He was going to create a Super Nova.
Multicoloured Qi Stars burst forth around him, creating a galaxy around him. He watched the approaching attack with vigour. This Technique was able to distort space as a Super Nova was the literal distortion and destruction of a world.
As the terrifying spear got closer, he charged the Super Nova to its very maximum. He had to completely blow the spear out of the sky so it couldn't have any chance of getting to him.
The glow of his technique filled his side of the domain, while the other side had already been drowned out by a dark combination of purple, gold and blue.
He waited for the spear to enter just its tip inside of the rim of his Super Nova before he activated it. This way it would take the literal brunt of the force the technique held.
When the Heavenly Super Nova burst, space could be felt rippling from the explosion. And while the spear seemed unaffected initially, it was immediately blown away like someone had thrown a stick the same way someone would throw a throwing knife.
The spear eventually hit the ground, creating a massive explosion of Qi. However, it was quickly drowned out by a crushing Qi undulation from above hitting it and creating an even bigger explosion.
Even Mushin Yuan had to recast his Divine Wall just in case. The undulation was just that powerful.
Cheers erupted in the stadium and furthermore around the regions town squares. What a terrifying power the two young Cultivators were hitting each other with. It was thoroughly entertaining and exciting to watch.
Many had thought Julong was doomed to lose as the fight had progressed, so naturally, as he started to come back and damage Mushin Yuan - the one who was expected to be the victor - everyone but a few began to slowly start supporting the underdog.
One person who was very displeased with the counter of the attack that had just taken place was naturally Zhun Lao. He was rather happy before the exchange of Techniques, sure that Mushin Yuan would obliterate Julong with his attack. Being proven wrong and having both his bet and reputation of foresight still be on the line was not very thrilling for him, or at least not in an entertaining way.
"Incredible! You're incredible!"
Mushin Yuan laughed happily throughout the domain. Every word was sincere as it could possibly be. He really didn't lie in the press conference, because with this he actually had a chance of losing now having Julongs power.
Mushin Yuan would actually be fine with the result, even if he lost.
"You are no laughing matter either, Mushin Yuan. You deserve just as much praise. If I didn't have that Technique, I'm not sure what I would have done."
Of course, what he said was a little white lie, he still had the Spears of Divine Light, something which he was yet to reveal. Something he planned to maintain until he really needed to reveal it.
"I thank you for the praise. But we will see who truly deserves more when we decide the victor."
What he had said was not arrogant, but honest. While what he said could come off in such a way, his tone had completely rejected the idea of arrogance. In fact, it seemed as if he was expecting Julong to be the winner.
"Then allow me to be the next one to attack."
"...of course."
Julong held out his hand and a golden shuttle appeared. It was of course the Ancestral Sword Shuttle - the Technique that had helped him survive on the mountain on the same day he met Zi Xiao, and the exact one his blessing had given him.
Mushin Yuan could instantly sense the danger from the shuttle and the Heavenly Saint Edge, which had previously been embedded in the ground had reappeared in his hand.
"This is the Ancestral Sword Shuttle. A Technique I developed myself."
He mainly said that he had created the Technique himself because he had nothing else to say. It also had the ability to increase his popularity as Zi Xiao wanted, so he decided it was a good choice to say what he said nonetheless.
It floated into the space between them and slowly started revolving. It slowly got faster and faster, then all of a sudden began bursting rapid blades of Sword Qi out in a concentrated direction: Toward Mushin Yuan.
Thanks to his Divine Spirit having a breakthrough, it had indirectly affected his ability to control this ability. This made him believe that the relationship between him and his blessing wasn't so simple.
Generally, normal blessings would deviate from the Spirit and be able to leave the body if extracted. Of course, this would heavily damage the original wielder, but with his blessing, he was certain he would die if his blessing was taken. His blessing and Spirit were delicately intertwined in a perfect balance like Yin and Yang, but he couldn't understand why. Perhaps this blessing wasn't actually a blessing?
A few things had eluded to such an idea, but he had no time for such thoughts. He quickly turned his attention back to the fight he was in.
Mushin Yuan had once again summoned his Divine Wall, and the Sword Qi which was now acting on its own was slowly wearing down the wall.
All of a sudden the wall cracked and eventually crumbled. When it did, the Heavenly Saint Edge shot forward toward the Sword Shuttle and struck it, causing another large explosion in the middle of the domain.
Julong smiled when he saw this. The Ancestral Sword Shuttle had confirmed that he would be able to destroy the Divine Wall Technique with his Spears of Divine Light when he finally decided to use them. Though his expression quickly turned sour.
This was because he could see what Mushin Yuan was doing behind where the wall had been. He had his eyes closed and was sitting in the air. He was allowing Genesis Qi to surge into him at a rapid pace. He was clearly going to breakthrough.
Behind him was a large array of Genesis Qi. It was slowly taking place in an attack from a swirling void behind him. It seems as if he was going to break through and use the Technique behind him to distract Julong.
He was definitely in trouble now.
