Perhaps because it is located above the clouds, there are rarely any floating clouds in the sky of Yunhai City. Most of the time, when you look up, you can see the clearest and most azure blue color.
However, today is different from the past. A thick, dark cloud gradually covered the sky, and faint golden lightning could be seen flashing in it, with a terrifying sound.
Even in the upper realm, ascension is a big event for every cultivator.
After all, ascension is extremely dangerous, and it is also a key opportunity to determine future strength, so of course you can't be careless.
Regardless of whether one's family background is poor or rich, one will make plans in advance to face the thunderbolt. Those who want to challenge the difficulty will prepare various life-saving and healing elixirs early, in order to survive a few more thunderbolts; those who just want to survive until the ascension will also prepare various defensive magic weapons, intending to use magic weapons to resist the thunderbolt when the first thunderbolt falls, and then fly safely into the void to complete the ascension.
However, Ye Shubai's ascension this time came too sudden and was truly an accident.
According to his original estimate, he would have to practice for several more years to achieve ascension. However, unfortunately, when he was competing with others in the Yunhai Tower just now, he accidentally sensed a mysterious force of the laws of heaven and earth. He was drawn to gain some insights for a moment, and thus accidentally attracted the thunder from the sky.
When the strange young man in black walked out of the crowd and came in front of him, Ye Shubai slowly raised his head and looked at him with sharp eyes.
He finally knew where the familiar aura that he had sensed from time to time in the Cloud Sea Realm came from.
It turned out to be him.
There was a strong aura of murder, representing death, lingering around the other person. Even though there was not a single stain of blood on his body at the moment, there was still an indelible smell of blood.
The law that Ye Shubai comprehended was the law of life and death. He first realized a bit of the way of life and death after witnessing the lush and flaming poinciana tree with his own eyes. Later, in order to resist the evil cultivator, he died and was reborn with the power of the law. This experience of life and death allowed his path of life and death to gradually perfect, so that he did not die even after being hit by the full force of the Dao Jie.
However, the young man in black in front of him was comprehending the way of killing. In a sense, the two people's laws came from the same source, but the laws comprehended by Ye Shubai were superior to his.
Ye Shubai could see through Shang Wuyang's ways, but the latter could not, and others could see even less.
Mi Yan was stunned when he saw that the person who brought the thunder tribulation was Ye Shubai. Even his eyes widened a little and were no longer just slits.
“It’s actually him!”
Elder Zhang turned around and asked, "Why? Do you know that person?"
Mi Yan was very happy to prove that what he said was true, and he said quickly: "He is the person I mentioned before, the one whose back and aura are very similar to Master Shang."
Several people stared at them in a daze, only then did they realize that the two figures, one black and one white, were indeed very similar.
To be precise, it's not their looks that are similar, but their aloof and unapproachable temperament. Both of them seem to lack the emotions that belong to ordinary people, and they are particularly out of place in the bustling crowd.
But when the two stood together, they could tell the difference. Although the strange man in white was also cold and aloof, he was obviously more like a normal person than Shang Wuyang.
He narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself that it seemed that Master Shang was not as handsome as the other man.
Shang Wuyang frowned and looked at Ye Shubai. At first he thought that someone had chosen the path of killing like him. After seeing the person, he felt familiar, but he could also realize that the paths they practiced were different.
He was full of doubts at the moment. He ignored the terrifying thunder cloud above his head that was about to strike at any time and walked straight towards Ye Shubai and asked again: "What is the way you practice?"
I have never seen such a strange person. When others are about to endure the thunder tribulation, he runs over to block the way and asks them what law they are practicing
Wen Yun quickly revealed the other party's identity to Ye Shubai: "He is Shang Wuyang."
After thinking for a while, he used his spiritual sense to secretly tell him another message: "This man seems to have some problems with his brain, don't pay attention to him."
Ye Shubai looked at Wen Yun helplessly. He actually had no intention of paying attention to this person. He just refused calmly: "No comment."
If it were a sensible person, he would have left long ago after receiving such an answer, but the problem is that Shang Wuyang is not a normal person at all. His way of thinking is completely different from that of others.
Facing Ye Shubai's refusal, he frowned quickly and said coldly: "Okay, then you fight me and I will know."
Hearing this, Wen Yun finally couldn't help it.
She asked a sincere but polite question: "Are you sure you want to fight?"
Shang Wuyang did not deny it, and obviously did not think there was anything wrong with such behavior.
Very good, that's what I was waiting for.
Wen Yun turned around and without hesitation informed the group of silver-armored guards behind him: "Someone wants to kill someone in Yunhai City."
Although Shang Wuyang said to fight, it is inevitable that fighting will not be able to stop and there will be casualties. Isn't this equivalent to killing someone
Although this method is very similar to that of an elementary school student complaining, Wen Yun does not care about it. After all, she is young and is indeed a child compared to the elderly people here who are often thousands of years old.
The silver-armored guard had already noticed the movement here, and had silently tightened his weapon in his hand, staring at Shang Wuyang expressionlessly.
However, he never retreated, but slowly drew out the sword in his hand.
As soon as the sword was unsheathed, a strong, pungent smell of blood wafted in. The people around were all monks, and naturally they were extremely sensitive to such smells, and some of them couldn't help but cover their noses with their sleeves.
"Such a strong murderous aura!"
"How much blood is on this man's hands!"
At first, no one recognized Shang Wuyang, but after someone spotted Elder Zhang and the others, they immediately guessed the answer: "With such a strong murderous aura, he must be Shang Wuyang from the Dongxuan Sect!"
"Shang Wuyang!"
As soon as this name came out, the cultivators who originally wanted to watch the excitement all took a step back unconsciously. Even the powerful ones in the Ascension Period showed a hint of fear on their faces and dared not come forward to attack. After all, this man had slaughtered hundreds of Ascension Period cultivators in the Yunhai Tower in just one month.
Shang Wuyang took a step forward, and the people next to him took two steps back.
He swung his sword to block Ye Shubai's way, and stubbornly repeated the words: "Either tell me the answer, or draw your sword."
The expression on Ye Shubai's face was as cold as ice.
He vaguely sensed that thunder was about to strike from the sky, and could even see several bolts of lightning leaking out from the calamity clouds, flashing wildly in the air.
It's too late.
A bolt of lightning fell violently from the sky, striking towards Yunhai City with the power to destroy the world!
Those who did not have time to escape nearby were screaming in fear. After all, most of the people in the city were below the Ascension Realm, and they would be reduced to ashes if hit by a bolt of lightning!
Everyone fled to the side in a mess, but there were too many low-level monks setting up stalls nearby, and in the crowded crowd, a little child was tripped to the ground by the adults. He couldn't get up and was crying out of breath.
Seeing that the lightning that looked like an electric snake was about to fall towards this area, Ye Shubai grabbed the rotten wooden sword in his hand with his backhand, leaped over the child, and slashed at the lightning with a simple sword that did not require any skill!
At the same time, Wen Yun, who had already had a tacit understanding with him, also cast a magic barrier to protect all those who did not have time to escape.
The power of the scattered thunder seemed to decrease suddenly, and it was dissolved soon after it fell on the barrier.
"Hiss... This is only the first thunderbolt, how can its power be so terrifying?"
Elder Zhang took a breath in fear.
In his mind, he frantically recalled the grand occasion when Shang Wuyang ascended to heaven in the past. At that time, all the disciples of Dongxuan Sect were at the foot of Juefeng Mountain to watch Shang Wuyang's heroic figure. He also slashed at the thunder with his sword, but he didn't know if it was because the memory was too long ago, Elder Zhang actually felt that the thunder that time was not as loud as this time
The thunder from the sky is also different.
The heavenly thunder attracted by a cultivator who has comprehended the power of the law must contain the power of the law. The stronger the power of the law, the more difficult it is to deal with the heavenly thunder.
He murmured, "No way... The Law of Death is already the supreme avenue, and when it is cultivated to perfection it can be called the Way of Heaven. Is there anything stronger than this?"
After Wen Yun escorted everyone away, he hurriedly looked at Ye Shubai who had dispersed the first heavenly thunderbolt: "How are you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Ye Shubai's expression was still calm. He said seriously: "This thunder is almost the same as the one you had last time."
Wen Yun was also someone who had survived more than 120 thunderbolts. After hearing this answer, she felt relieved. Is it similar to hers? That means the previous ones are not a big deal and are not difficult.
As soon as he finished speaking, three more bolts of lightning struck from the sky!
This time Ye Shubai took it all in without even frowning, and was so calm that he had no reaction at all.
Wen Yun used the barrier to protect himself and stayed by Ye Shubai's side. The group of monks who had escaped to a safe area nearby had calmed down and began to watch the fun with great interest.
Ascending to the sky!
This is a rare event that only happens once in a thousand years! After all, almost everyone ascends to the immortal realm under the protection of their own sect. How could they do this in front of all the cultivators in the world
What the Cloud Sea Realm lacks the most is cultivators with business acumen. After all, there are so many people setting up stalls to make money. Someone immediately took out a projection stone from somewhere and started recording. He also sent a message to the casino: "Hurry up and open the betting. Someone has ascended. Yes, let's bet on how many thunders he can withstand."
There was also a pill seller who shouted at Wen Yun, "Girl, I'm a disciple of Danding Sect. I have a lot of healing pills here. Do you want to buy some for your Taoist partner? You just helped me avoid the thunderbolt, so I'll give you a 10% discount! Only 998 yuan for one pill!"
If I remember correctly, he was selling them for one hundred yuan each.
"What kind of healing pills do you need? I have a piece of ten thousand year old black iron here, which is perfect for making a lightning rod. I'll sell it to you for 10,000 source crystals!"
You're a fucking genius.
Wen Yun smiled wryly and bowed to the merchant. He was still politely thanking him the moment before, and the next moment he took out countless of the best elixirs and various protective magic weapons that could be bought in Yunhai City, as well as a stack of defense scrolls so thick that they could kill someone.
"Sorry, I already prepared it."
Although there are only five people from the Qingliu Sword Sect in the Yunhai Realm now, Ye Shubai is also someone who is under the care of the sect.
These elixirs and magical weapons were previously collected privately by Master Su Yuan in Yunhai City. These scrolls were naturally drawn by Wen Yun, and were also secretly made by two poor low-level magicians, Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai. Although they are useless, they are a token of their appreciation.
However, just when she was about to ask Ye Shubai if he needed a pill to restore his energy, Shang Wuyang, who had been looking up at the thunder for a long time, suddenly moved.
He held the sword and murmured to himself, "There is the breath of the law of death in it."
“Although it seems to hide something else, it does contain the law of death.”
Shang Wuyang's unfocused eyes gradually turned to Ye Shubai, and the thunder that kept falling on the latter's head.
At the beginning, he completely mastered the law of death in the one hundred and first heavenly thunders. Since then, every time he drew his sword, he could find the opponent's fatal point with incredible accuracy. No matter who the opponent was, as long as his sword came out, he could kill him with one blow.
This is still an incomplete law of death. Master said that if it is cultivated to perfection, then he can control life and death and achieve the supreme great way.
The heavenly thunder can only temper the person who is ascending, and has no effect on others, so people nearby stay away from it.
But what if... there is another person practicing the same law
"I understand. This is the opportunity I'm looking for."
Shang Wuyang looked at the thunder above Ye Shubai's head, and his numb face finally changed, revealing an expression of sudden enlightenment.
It turned out that the opportunity he had always sensed was not Ye Shubai in front of him, but Ye Shubai's ascension calamity.
Thunder is a calamity, but it is also a chance to temper the body and soul, and to comprehend the power of the law at a deeper level. This opportunity is bestowed by heaven on every ascending cultivator, but the path of cultivation is one of the survival of the fittest, with the capable at the top and the weak retreating. Since cultivators can open up new mines, cut down spiritual trees, and seize all kinds of resources in the myriad worlds, then incompetent cultivators should also be part of the resources owned by the strong!
This is the way that Master had taught him.
The Tao is ruthless. If you want to achieve the Tao, you should not leave any extra emotion behind!
Shang Wuyang drew his sword and flew towards Ye Shubai like a flash of black lightning.
Today, he wants to seize this opportunity of heavenly thunder!
The silver-armored guards below were caught off guard by this sudden change, and they quickly formed a formation to try to stop Shang Wuyang from taking action. Unfortunately, there were thunderstorms from the sky, and they couldn't move forward even at this moment.
At this moment, a slender figure came out holding a staff, and while throwing out a defensive magic scroll, he picked up the dragon bone staff and smashed it hard at Shang Wuyang.
"Don't even think about launching a sneak attack, you cunning villain!"
Even Shang Wuyang miscalculated this time. He had thought that this female cultivator might have specialized in auxiliary spells and would definitely not be able to hit him at her speed. He never expected that the other party would actually hit him with a magic wand.
Even though Shang Wuyang's movements were so fast that only an afterimage was left, and he even predicted Wen Yun's attack in advance and consciously prepared to dodge, Wen Yun accurately predicted where he would appear the next moment.
A true tactical genius is one who can anticipate the enemy’s anticipation.
What's even more terrible is that Wen Yun's strength is terrifyingly great, she is no longer like an ordinary female cultivator... No, ordinary Ascension Realm cultivators don't have such great strength!
Wen Yun: How can a body that has been tempered by thunder hundreds of times be delicate and soft? I can knock a small fire dragon away with one punch!
Shang Wuyang's body shook after being hit by Wen Yun, and the sword that was accurately aimed at Ye Shubai also deviated from its position.
He stepped heavily back to the ground and looked at Wen Yun calmly. There was still no emotion in his eyes, but the murderous intent in his body was becoming more and more intense.
An evil spirit belonging to the law of death suddenly spread from his body!
In Shang Wuyang's eyes, this female cultivator with extraordinary strength was already dead.
