I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?
Chapter Summary
Yet, it seemed that Xu Yan had long since detected him, waiting for him to approach stealthily before suddenly striking, trapping him within this vortex of the Sword Dao. Xu Yan's expression remained indifferent, as he clapped his hand, and with a roar, a Golden Dragon suddenly appeared in the midst of the Sword Dao vortex, spiraling along with the vortex's twirl, while the tumultuous power of the sea water was all being gathered at this moment. Seventy-six knew that to break this situation, he ...
"Oh, you think you can ambush me too?
"Xu Yan looked down with contempt at the shocked figure beneath the vortex of the Sword Dao.
A person from Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow!
This was a Divine Venerate Realm Earth Shadow member.
Seventy-six, wearing a mask of dark clouds, never would have imagined that he would be exposed, never would have thought that Xu Yan would detect him.
At this moment, as he looked at the swirling vortex around him, the intent to kill stimulated him, and a strong sense of crisis loomed, as if in the next instant he would be torn apart by the vortex.
"How did he discover me?
"A sinking feeling overcame Seventy-six.
He was confident that with his own art of stealth and concealment, and with Xu Yan engaged in battle with five Divine Venerates, under such intense commotion, it was absolutely impossible to discover his presence.
Yet, it seemed that Xu Yan had long since detected him, waiting for him to approach stealthily before suddenly striking, trapping him within this vortex of the Sword Dao.
"Xu Yan, you can't stop me,"Seventy-six burst forth with a surge of cold energy, and with a thunderous boom, a blinding icy light erupted from his body, blasting towards the Sword Dao vortex that enveloped him.
Boom!
However, to his horror, such a powerful attack did not break through the vortex; instead, as the vortex spun, the attack was sucked in, rotating along with it.
At one moment, his attack, improbably, burst forth from the vortex and struck at him instead!
"What kind of martial arts technique is this?
"Seventy-six's face paled in alarm, and he hurriedly made another move, this time directly using a secret technique.
Puff!
Amongst the billowing grey smoke, Seventy-six's figure seemed to become ethereal, almost blending into the water, his whereabouts uncertain amidst the flitting shadows.
Cold and concealed strikes emerged from hiding, forming into a massive blade that crashed down toward the vortex.
Xu Yan's expression remained indifferent, as he clapped his hand, and with a roar, a Golden Dragon suddenly appeared in the midst of the Sword Dao vortex, spiraling along with the vortex's twirl, while the tumultuous power of the sea water was all being gathered at this moment.
True Dragon Water Command!
"You?
"Seventy-six's face showed horror, and at that moment, he felt a chill on his scalp, surrounded as if by an invisible pressure constantly condensing around him, feeling as though a great mountain weighed upon him.
The Golden Dragon, carrying the vortex in its coils, not only tightened its grip during its spiraling, but the space Seventy-six occupied became smaller and smaller, and the solidifying force upon him grew stronger.
It seemed, in the next moment, he would be crushed to death!
But, no matter how he used his secret techniques, he was still unable to break free, and even the most powerful of attacks seemed to dissipate into the vast waters of the Azure Sea.
Seventy-six knew that to break this situation, he had to defeat that Golden Dragon; otherwise, all his attacks would be dissolved into nothingness by the Golden Dragon's command over the waters of the Azure Sea.
And his strength was not enough to surpass the limits of the Golden Dragon Water Command and break its power to dissolve attacks.
"Kill!
"Seventy-six roared, his figure disappearing in an instant, and in the next moment, gripping a grey short blade in his hand, he appeared in front of the Golden Dragon.
The short blade flashed with a grey light and vanished from Seventy-six's hand, and the next moment, with a puff, it pierced into the Golden Dragon's head.
Bang!
The Golden Dragon's head exploded, and the short blade also shattered in that strike, but that hit finally had an effect!
Seventy-six's face lit up with surprise; this was Earth Shadow's strongest strike, usually used to instantly ambush a target stronger than himself.
The short blade was also a specially made Divine Artifact, capable of unleashing a burst of strength beyond the limits of his own power.
With the Golden Dragon broken, the chance to escape was right before his eyes.
As for killing Xu Yan, Seventy-six knew himself well at this moment; Xu Yan's strength was not something a Divine Venerate Martial Artist could contend with.
It was just the right moment to escape, but then with a roar, another Golden Giant Dragon descended, continuing to carry the vortex in its coils and began to spiral once again.
"How is this possible!
"Seventy-six stood there, his eyes vacant.
Before he could recover, another Golden Giant Dragon descended, with two dragons intertwining and spiraling, the space constricted even more, trapping him thoroughly in the vortex.
At this moment, Seventy-six had a look of utter despair in his eyes!
"It's time to end this!
"Xu Yan's gaze became silent, and his figure moved, vanishing instantly from his spot, and in the next instant, he appeared in front of the White-haired Divine Venerate.
A sword fell!
Divine Skills, Supreme Heavenly Sword!
The White-haired Divine Venerate's eyes showed a look of fear, without even a sliver of resistance, he turned to ash and dissipated in an instant!
The remaining four Divine Venerates were terrified at this moment!
"Xu Yan, we admit defeat, let's call it quits!
"Someone said with a trembling voice.
"Anyone who is an enemy of mine, Xu Yan, has no chance of leaving alive!
"Xu Yan scoffed coldly.
```Swish!
Another sword fell!
No matter how the four Divine Venerates erupted with secret techniques or employed their last-ditch life-saving measures, it was all to no avail; Xu Yan dispatched each with a single stroke, leaving none alive.
At the end, only Seventy-Six, the Divine Venerate Martial Artist from Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, remained.
"Do you wish to die, or do you wish to live?
"Xu Yan asked coldly.
Seventy-Six swallowed and said, "You're willing to spare my life?
""Of course, it all depends on whether you understand the situation and whether you're smart enough!
"Xu Yan said with a slight smile.
"I surrender, I am willing to be your ox and horse, Young Master Xu!
"Seventy-Six decisively caved in.
With the threat of death hanging over his head, he felt his mind working faster than it ever had before.
"Very well, since you want to live, then open your mind.
Show the slightest resistance, and don't blame me if you die.
"Xu Yan nodded and instructed.
"Okay, I won't resist at all!
"Now it was a matter of do or die.
And after complying, whether or not he would face death, all he could do was take a chance.
Xu Yan took control of Seventy-Six with the Destiny of the Heavenly Intent.
Being a member of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow of the Divine Venerate Realm, Seventy-Six was far more useful than those Immortal Heavenly Venerates.
He could be quite useful.
After taking control of Seventy-Six, Xu Yan assigned him some tasks, such as gathering other Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow Members that Xu Yan covertly controlled.
"Draw me the maps of the Dao Realm, Earth Shadow Realm, and the Heavenly Slaughter Realm as you know them.
"Xu Yan instructed.
"Yes, yes!
"Seventy-Six nodded respectfully.
He drew maps of everything he knew about the Dao Realm, the Heavenly Slaughter Realm, and even the Earth Shadow Realm.
Taking the maps, Xu Yan glanced over them and instructed, "Find an opportunity to return to the Dao Realm, return to the Heavenly Slaughter Realm, and await orders.
"He gave Seventy-Six a Communication Talisman and warned, "Be careful not to expose yourself.
""Yes, Master!
"Seventy-Six responded respectfully.
"Go!
"Xu Yan waved his hand dismissively.
Seventy-Six vanished from the spot as if he had never been there.
Xu Yan looked at the maps drawn by Seventy-Six.
"In the Dao Realm of the Three Hundred Realms, each Realm is the same, and besides the Three Hundred Realms, there's also the expansive territory of the Dao Realm itself, with regions even Divine Venerates have not yet explored.
"With his identity as a Divine Venerate, his knowledge of the Heavenly Slaughter Realm is hardly extensive, but it's enough.
The hidden places of the Heavenly Slaughter Realm should contain some treasures.
"The Heavenly Slaughter was brimming with grand ambition and wild dreams, scheming for the Domain Authority of the Taicang Domain, desiring to become the new Master of Domain.
Yet in the Dao Realm, there were still those ancient Minor Heaven and Earth Masters.
For example, Taimiao was among them.
In such a situation, for the Heavenly Slaughter to dare to scheme for the Domain Authority of Taicang shows they must have some level of confidence.
"The Divine Realm no longer holds any treasures that catch my eye; it's time to roam the Dao Realm.
Emptying the treasures of the Heavenly Slaughter Realm should be sufficient for me to rapidly cultivate to the Establishing Dao Realm.
"Xu Yan already had a plan in mind.
He wouldn't just wait in the Divine Realm for someone to come to him, but instead he planned to infiltrate into the Dao Realm.
This was both to seek out the opportunity to comprehend the Creation Realm and to elevate his strength as quickly as possible, hoping to break through to the Establishing Dao Realm at the earliest opportunity.
"It's time to chat with the Azure Sea Turtle about that opportunity, exactly where it lies.
"Xu Yan hadn't forgotten the deal with the Azure Sea Turtle.
That great opportunity might just aid in his endeavor to reach the Creation Realm.
He raised his palm, and a cluster of Rhythms of Domain materialized within it.
"Old Turtle, I'm here to fulfill our previous deal.
"Xu Yan took out a Communication Talisman and sent a message to the Azure Sea Turtle.
"Truly?
Come quickly to this place, but be careful not to reveal your tracks.
"The delighted voice of the Azure Sea Turtle came through.
"Worry not; if I, Xu Yan, wish to conceal myself, even a Realm Master might not be able to find me.
"Xu Yan said with a confident chuckle.
With one step, he vanished instantly, and in no time at all, he arrived at the hiding place of the Azure Sea Turtle.
"You old turtle sure know how to hide.
"Xu Yan couldn't help but exclaim; the Azure Sea Turtle's art of concealment was the most profound he had ever seen.
Unless he employed the Minor Heavenly Eye to scrutinize intensely, he would not be able to detect the turtle.
