I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?
Chapter Summary
Now, after merely a few years in the Divine Realm, he has already become notoriously fierce, slaying the Immortal Heavenly Venerable as easily as swatting a grasshopper! As long as he broke through to the Void-breaking Realm, with the might of his Sword Dao, slaying the Immortal Heavenly Venerable wouldn't be too difficult. As long as he broke through to the Void-breaking Realm, even when facing top Immortal Heavenly Venerables, he could achieve victory.
Xie Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Yan quickly became famous in the Inner Domain after entering from the Border Wilderness, sweeping through undefeated.
Upon entering the Spiritual Realm, it was more of the same, rising swiftly and overwhelming all opponents, his reputation spreading throughout the Spiritual Realm, with no one able to rival him!
Now, after merely a few years in the Divine Realm, he has already become notoriously fierce, slaying the Immortal Heavenly Venerable as easily as swatting a grasshopper!
"I have a chance too!
"Xie Lingfeng's fighting spirit soared.
As long as he broke through to the Void-breaking Realm, with the might of his Sword Dao, slaying the Immortal Heavenly Venerable wouldn't be too difficult.
Admittedly, he couldn't do it as Xu Yan and Meng Chong did, killing the Immortal Heavenly Venerable as if squashing grasshoppers, but to kill the Immortal Heavenly Venerable shouldn't be too hard.
As long as he broke through to the Void-breaking Realm, even when facing top Immortal Heavenly Venerables, he could achieve victory.
The difficulty had indeed increased, but it was enough to make him proud.
If his strength were raised to the initial or full completion of the Void-breaking Realm, killing top Immortal Heavenly Venerables would become very easy.
"Void-breaking is too hard.
"Xie Lingfeng sighed.
It was already a rare feat that he managed to break through the Physiognomy Realm in such a short time.
Thinking about breaking through the Void-breaking Realm, it wasn't something that could be done in a short period.
"Twenty years or maybe thirty years?
"At his level of strength, two or three decades were considered short.
"Find an opportunity to return to the Qinghua state, consult Xu Yan, and perhaps I can break through sooner.
"This was what Xie Lingfeng thought.
He continued his arduous cultivation.
Coming to the Azure Sea Sphere's Yuntian Island, his talent wasn't lacking, and with his outstanding swordsmanship, naturally, he also received some favorable treatment.
The Heavenly Grotto was relatively calm with no major disturbances.
Apart from the occasional venture into the Heavenly Grotto for trials, most of his time was spent in secluded hard cultivation.
Xie Tianheng was also in hard cultivation, feeling somewhat gloomy in his heart as his son surpassed him, although he had anticipated it.
But when the day came so quickly, all he could do to resolve his gloominess was immerse himself further in cultivation.
In hard cultivation, his sense of time was vague, to the point where he didn't even know how long he had been cultivating.
One day.
Boom!
The sound like thunderous waves echoed, and Yuntian Island trembled slightly.
All the Martial Artists in secluded cultivation were startled back to reality.
"Something big has happened!
"At that moment, all those in secluded cultivation rushed out of their places of retreat.
Their first thought was that there might be chaos in the Heavenly Grotto!
Xie Lingfeng also tensed up and came out of his cultivation chamber.
"Dad, what's happened?
"Xie Tianheng looked tense and gazed into the distance without answering.
Xie Lingfeng followed his gaze and saw in the far-off sky, a blood-red surge that rose up like a huge funnel or a blood-colored vortex.
Even separated by a vast distance, they could still feel the terrifying aura.
"What is that?
"Everyone was shocked.
Suddenly, beneath the blood-colored vortex, as if it were a giant maw, a massive blood-colored shadow could be seen faintly moving through the waves.
"Not good, that's Little Heng Island!
"Suddenly, a Martial Artist exclaimed.
Little Heng Island was one of the large islands in the Azure Sea Sphere, adjacent to a Heavenly Grotto with an Immortal Heavenly Venerable stationed there.
Beneath that blood-red vortex was precisely where Little Heng Island was located.
Boom!
Powerful auras radiated from the direction of Little Heng Island, and immediately chains appeared in the sky, forged by the Power of Domain Laws.
Following closely, the voice of the Sea Spirit Tribe's Great Elder was heard!
"All Martial Artists above the Truth Refinement Realm, seal off a hundred thousand miles of sea territory, and kill the blood-colored sea beasts!
"As the Sea Spirit Tribe's Great Elder's voice sounded, Yuntian Island's Island Master descended from the sky, entering the Elder's Hall on Yuntian Island.
Immediately, a radiant light spread out, enveloping the entire Yuntian Island.
Boom!
Yuntian Island's Island Master, with the power of a Divine Artifact, took control of this part of the Domain.
"All Martial Artists above the Truth Refinement Realm, head to Little Heng Island to assist in suppression, no errors allowed!
"The grave voice of Yuntian Island's Island Master rang out.
In an instant, numerous Martial Artists flew towards Little Heng Island.
Yuntian Island's Island Master had returned to take charge of Yuntian Island, to prevent any accidents!
"Dad, let's go!
"Xie Lingfeng spoke with an extremely solemn expression.
"The Azure Sea Sphere is facing a great crisis!
""It's also time for me to reveal my supreme Sword Dao!
"Xie Tianheng nodded and said.
"Be careful, don't take it lightly!
"Fu Yun cautioned with a worried face.
"No big deal, I have the Jade Talisman from my senior, I won't die!
"Xie Tianheng patted his chest and claimed.
Xie Lingfeng took a step forward, transforming into a streak of sword light, soaring towards the direction of Yuntian Island.
Yuntian Island had already vanished, and all the creatures on the island had perished.
But the Heavenly Grotto looked like a gaping blood basin, spewing out surging blood qi, turning the whole sea area as if into a blood sea.
And a blood-colored beast, large as a crocodile, opened its huge mouth, swallowing Yuntian Island, and within it could be seen an Immortal Heavenly Venerable being devoured.
Boom!
"Netherworld Blood Crocodile!
"The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe's expression was extremely solemn.
At this moment, he realized that something was wrong.
This Heavenly Grotto was actually under control, and clearly, there was a being beyond the Immortal Realm who had acted, forcibly enlarging the Heavenly Grotto and allowing Netherworld Qi to seep in, wishing to turn this sea area into a Netherworld Blood Sea.
"A Netherworld Blood Crocodile lying hidden in Azure Sea, and we were completely unaware; how did it manage that?
"The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe, together with a group of powerful Sea Spirit Tribe members, wielded their Divine Artifacts and summoned the power of the Azure Sea, pressing down continuously.
But the Netherworld Blood Crocodile could not be slain and even directed the Netherworld Qi towards the Firmament, shifting the Power of Domain Laws and causing turbulence within the Domain.
One after another, blood-colored figures surged out from the Heavenly Grotto, which resembled a huge gaping mouth, turning into a tide of beasts, rushing in all directions.
The blood sea was surging, and this sea area seemed to be polluted, making the Sea Spirits within this filthy sea extremely uncomfortable.
It was as if a person with an obsession for cleanliness was thrown into a pit of muddy water, feeling extremely unpleasant.
Swish!
A streak of sword light fell, instantly slaying a Netherworld beast.
"Without the Blood Disciples, the Xuezhi entering, all are Netherworld beasts; are they preparing to use the Netherworld beasts to invade the Azure Sea?
"The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe had a heavy expression.
Rumble!
Another sound like thunder rang out, and the entire water of the Azure Sea trembled, causing the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe's heart to sink as another Heavenly Grotto started to stir.
"Silent and unnoticed, Yuntian Island has fallen, this Heavenly Grotto is being infringed, who is orchestrating this behind the scenes?
"At a certain moment, the image of Xu Yan, who entered the Azure Sea Sphere but disappeared without a trace, emerged in his mind.
He then shook his head, "It can't be Xu Yan.
"The only course of action for now was to find a way to suppress the Netherworld Blood Crocodile back into the Heavenly Grotto and to wipe out all the Netherworld beasts that had invaded the Azure Sea.
However, the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe did not notice that as the Netherworld blood qi soared to the sky, it reached the Firmament.
At the very top of the Firmament, there appeared to be a faint light as if it were absorbing the Netherworld blood qi, or perhaps signaling something.
Xie Lingfeng was hunting Netherworld beasts while also honing his Sword Dao.
At a certain moment, he looked up at the Firmament and his expression turned to one of shock.
Unbeknownst when, at the end of the blood light in the Firmament, there seemed to be an eye that had appeared.
However, when he focused his gaze again, the eye seemed to have disappeared, or perhaps the eye just now was simply an illusion formed by the murky blood light.
The Azure Sea began to churn with waves lifting high, shaking the entire ocean.
Islands were swept over by the giant waves, and houses were destroyed by the tumultuous water.
Many Martial Artists rose into the air, guarding all sides, and even more attempted to hold back the giant waves outside the islands.
Rumble!
The Netherworld blood qi began to condense, turning into a pillar of blood light several zhang in diameter, shooting straight into the Firmament, as if erecting a pillar of blood between Heaven and Earth.
Faintly, the Domain Laws vibrated.
Even more mysterious and unfathomable Domain Power was being incited.
Crack!
At a certain moment, the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe looked up in confusion, not sure if it was an illusion, but he had just vaguely heard a cracking sound coming from somewhere in the Firmament.
"The Firmament can't possibly be cracking.
"The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe continued with a solemn expression, leading a group of Sea Spirit Tribe's Immortal Heavenly Venerables to jointly suppress the blood-colored giant crocodile.
The Blood Crocodile looked up at the Firmament, as if seeing something in its eyes.
"About time, this body of the Blood Crocodile is also approaching its bearing limit.
"It then immediately looked towards a certain direction, where Yuntian Island was located.
"Using up the last bit of strength, let's destroy that island, and this place will become the gateway for Netherworld to enter Taicang.
"A more powerful surge of blood light emerged from the body of the giant crocodile, and a powerful aura was about to burst forth.
