SECTION 99: MY DAO!!
By Gu Zhenren
Published: 2013-02-09
Within the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation, using Erlang Tian Jun’s screen for surveillance, the four of them exchanged glances, utterly shocked.
No one could have predicted such a turn of events!
The Greedy Wolf King had actually come to this dead end to achieve enlightenment.
“It’s a stroke of luck that the Greedy Wolf King hasn’t discovered us! But once he completes his enlightenment and comprehends his own Divine Path Technique, he will reach the peak of the King level. He will extend his senses across heaven and earth and surely detect the spatial node of our battle formation!” Xiao Xiaoxian clenched his fists, his eyes red, like a cornered beast.
“The time for enlightenment varies from person to person, but it’s never long. According to ancient texts, it lasts for at most sixty breaths,” Jin Bihan said gravely, then looked at Chu Yun.
Chu Yun knew what she wanted to ask. He lowered his eyelids and said, “There is still half a cup of tea’s time before the Dragon Gate World closes.”
The hearts of the three sank to the bottom.
A cup of tea’s time is roughly a quarter of an hour. In half a cup of tea’s time, the Greedy Wolf King would have definitely completed his enlightenment.
Once he comprehended his Divine Path Technique, his cultivation would be pushed to the peak of the King level. He would undoubtedly discover the nearby spatial node. At that point, even the Wine King himself would be outmatched and at a disadvantage.
Xiao Xiaoxian’s face was ashen; this was tantamount to a death sentence for them!
“In a state of enlightenment, a King is completely focused, all their attention concentrated on comprehending the Dao. We can make a desperate counterattack!” A stubborn glint flashed in Jin Bihan’s eyes.
“It’s useless. When a King achieves enlightenment, they become one with Heaven and Earth. Their spiritual pressure will fill the heavens and earth, reaching its maximum limit. Any demonic creatures whose cultivation is less than ten million years will have their limbs go weak and be unable to fight. Look at this Eight Trigrams Battle Formation,” Erlang Tian Jun said in a low voice.
Xiao Xiaoxian and Jin Bihan were immediately alarmed. The latter exclaimed, “The formation space is wildly distorting; it’s on the verge of collapse!”
“The eight who formed this battle formation are all Peak Spirit Monsters. Yet, even in a different space from the Greedy Wolf King, his spiritual pressure still affects this place. Frankly, it’s already surprising to me that the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation hasn’t collapsed. Even a King of the same level would be suppressed by the Spirit aura if they got close to the Greedy Wolf King at this moment.”
Erlang Tian Jun shook his head and gave a bitter smile. “I never thought I, Erlang, would perish here. Heh heh, but it’s nothing. Life and death are illusions; I have lived freely and without regret, even in death.”
Facing death, Erlang Tian Jun displayed a magnanimous demeanor.
“Heh! Well said. If we die, we die! What’s there to be afraid of!” Xiao Xiaoxian’s expression returned to normal, his voice resounding.
“Life is like a dream. Being able to die with Yun, I have no regrets.” Jin Bihan’s eyes were like water. At this moment, she let go of her princess’s reserve and threw herself into Chu Yun’s arms.
Chu Yun held her tightly, lowered his head, and kissed her deeply, then gently pushed her away.
“It’s too early to give up now. Even against a King, I, Chu Yun, will not yield to slaughter.” His tone was calm, yet it conveyed a resolute determination to the other three!
“Yun…” Jin Bihan murmured, on the verge of tears.
“Sect Leader!” Xiao Xiaoxian moved.
“I’ll help you,” Erlang Tian Jun suddenly laughed heartily. “If we die, let it be a meaningful death! To die under the counterattack of a King is also a form of glory!”
Chu Yun looked around at the three, knowing they had accepted their fate. Only he knew that there was still a sliver of hope.
Ordinary demonic creatures, as long as their cultivation was below ten million years, would succumb to the Greedy Wolf King’s spiritual pressure and be unable to act.
But he, Chu Yun, possessed an Innate Drunken Snow Saber!
What is Innate?
Born before heaven and earth, it represents Dao and Reason itself. It is never subject to Heavenly Tribulation, is superior to all acquired things, and even transcends the Net of Law!
This is Innate!
The Innate Drunken Snow Saber fears neither Heaven nor Earth. What is a King’s spiritual pressure to it? Even Emperor level or Imperial level would not have the slightest effect.
Chu Yun was one hundred percent confident in this.
He wasn’t worried about the Innate Drunken Snow Saber, but he was worried about himself.
Chu Yun knew very well that his spiritual light was only Jun level. Although it was peak Jun level, if he comprehended his own path, he could advance to Marquis. But there was still an absolute gap between him and the Greedy Wolf King.
Within this Eight Trigrams Battle Formation, he already felt a faint sense of oppression. If he broke through the formation, he would face the most terrifying spiritual suppression.
At that moment, his spiritual light could very likely be suppressed, severing all connection with his demonic creatures. Being unable to control the Drunken Snow Saber would be equivalent to going out and seeking death.
This situation was highly likely to occur.
“In this world, many things are known to be impossible, yet must be done. The Greedy Wolf King possesses a peculiar demonic creature, the Greedy Snake, and his luck is extremely abundant.
Therefore, he often encounters rare treasures, which fuels his greedy nature. On our side, especially mine, my luck has been considerably depleted. However, Erlang Tian Jun has recently obtained Chu Bawang’s Destiny Demonic Treasure, which gives us the capital to contend with the Greedy Wolf King’s luck.”
“The Greedy Wolf King didn’t discover us, yet he inexplicably chose this place for his enlightenment. This is the result of our two sides’ luck clashing and interfering with each other’s destinies. Now that luck has been pushed to this extent, this hard-won opportunity has presented itself, and I must seize it!”
Chu Yun saw through the situation with perfect clarity, his mind as clear as ice.
Battle!
Divine light suddenly shot out from his eyes as he summoned the Drunken Snow Saber and grasped it tightly.
Spirit Snake!
He then summoned the Spirit Snake, creating an invisible bridge between his and Erlang Tian Jun’s spiritual lights.
Heavenly Eye, activate!
True Intuition, activate!
In an instant, his eyes changed like shifting clouds and wind, and a point of glazed light on his forehead shone brightly. His spiritual light instantly intensified to its maximum.
Boom! Jun level spiritual pressure erupted, forming waves of energy. Chu Yun’s black hair whipped wildly, his robes rustled, and his aura continued to ascend.
“Drunken Snow Saber, it’s up to you now!” Chu Yun whispered. The Drunken Snow Saber, as if understanding his heart, immediately erupted with soaring saber intent.
In an instant, the saber energy was vast, the saber intent surged, like a turbulent ocean, raging in all directions.
Jin Bihan, Xiao Xiaoxian, and Erlang Tian Jun all changed color simultaneously and were forced to retreat fifty paces.
The bright saber light was pure and transparent, like fragments of the sun. It was over ten zhang long and more than five zhang wide, as if solidified, possessing an aura capable of piercing the heavens and earth!
“Good saber!” Xiao Xiaoxian blurted out, a sound of admiration. Even at such a distance from the saber energy, he still felt a chilling aura emanating from it, its sharpness causing pain to his face!
“Let me lend you a hand, Divine Path Technique: Overlord Weapon!” Erlang Tian Jun suddenly shouted, activating the Divine Path Technique inherited from Chu Bawang.
Overlord Weapon!
This Divine Path Technique could unleash the power of a ten-million-year Tribulation Demon Soldier from a million-year-old one. It targeted all Demon Soldiers, allowing a Beast Tamer’s control to surge to an incredible level in a short period.
This was Chu Bawang’s greatest asset in dominating Xingzhou and suppressing his era.
Divine Path Techniques were very different from other cultivation methods; they could only be stored within a Beast Tamer’s spiritual light. Chu Yun did not possess this Divine Path Technique, but his spiritual light was connected with Erlang Tian Jun’s.
The profound meaning of Overlord Weapon was instantly transmitted to his spiritual light through the Spirit Snake. Then, it was channeled into the saber through his spiritual connection with the Drunken Snow Saber.
In an instant, Chu Yun comprehended a trace of the mystery of this Divine Path Technique. He felt as if he and the Drunken Snow Saber were inseparable!
Originally, he controlled the Drunken Snow Saber with effortless ease. But now, the Drunken Snow Saber felt like a part of his body, as if it had grown with him since birth, completely intimate!
The saber light of the Drunken Snow Saber, however, slowed down and retracted. The soaring, bright saber light gradually condensed, all of it compressing onto the Drunken Snow Saber itself.
The once blindingly bright saber light gradually dimmed. All its brilliance was contained, yet a more dangerous aura permeated the air.
Sensing this aura, Xiao Xiaoxian and Jin Bihan’s hearts pounded, and they retreated another fifty paces. At the same time, a glimmer of hope for survival arose in their hearts.
Perhaps, maybe, it was possible to succeed?
Even they found it somewhat unbelievable that this glimmer of hope existed. Facing a King as a Jun level was like a mouse facing a giant elephant.
Yet, this sliver of hope existed, palpably real.
The hope came not only from this Innate Drunken Snow Saber but also from its wielder.
“Yun!”
“Sect Leader!”
“Brother Chu!”
They cried out in their hearts!
“Kill!!!” As if sensing their cries, Chu Yun’s voice boomed like thunder. He instantly dismissed the battle formation and struck with his saber.
Boom!
The next moment, overwhelming King level spiritual pressure, like vast, boundless mountains, crashed down upon their hearts. Xiao Xiaoxian and Jin Bihan simultaneously vomited blood, their spiritual lights completely suppressed. No thought could function, and all connection with their respective demonic creatures was severed.
The Greedy Wolf King was submerged in spiritual light, as blinding as the sun, causing their eyes to ache. It represented endless despair, shattering their hope.
The Spirit Snake failed, and the spiritual bridge collapsed.
Erlang Tian Jun bled from all seven orifices, stumbled back three steps, and fell forward. Like Xiao Xiaoxian and Jin Bihan, he slumped to the ground.
“Chu Yun!” His eyes were bloodshot, a vast expanse of crimson.
He ignored the sharp pain in his eyes and glared fiercely ahead. How he wished he could rush forward! But at this moment, he couldn’t even see clearly what was before him.
At the moment the spiritual bridge collapsed, Chu Yun felt as if a mountain of immense weight pressed down on him. Boundless spiritual light instantly devoured his entire spirit!
“Ultimately, I failed…?” Such a thought flashed through his mind and vanished.
The infinite pressure seemed to have crushed his entire body.
He couldn’t even feel his own body.
“Is this the power of the King level? It’s truly terrifying.” He felt his spirit sinking, as if falling into a bottomless dark abyss. Continually falling, falling.
Countless memories flashed before his eyes like butterflies flitting through a flower bush.
His past and present lives.
“What? My sworn father was poisoned by the ruthless pirate wolves!” When he heard this news, he felt as if struck by lightning.
“I’m sorry, Chu Yun. In this life, I pursue the pinnacle of divination; I have no interest in matters of love between men and women,” Yi Yan told him under the moonlight.
“Hmph, what ‘Fire Fox Prince’? He’s just a stray dog fallen from Shu Family Island.”
“Alas, you’re a bit late, second son…”
“What? He’s the Little Tyrant?!”
“Chu Yun, your sworn father is proud of you.”
“If you want to inherit the old master’s belongings, you must pass my Riot Ape King’s test!”
“Should I still call you Brother Chu, or just call you Big Dummy?”
“Sect Leader, from this day forward, Xiao Xiaoxian is yours!”
“Master, please love me a little more.”
In an instant, Chu Yun seemed to have lived through a cycle of reincarnation.
“No. How can I admit defeat? I’ve already come this far.” A voice suddenly sounded from the depths of his sinking consciousness.
“Cannot lose.” The voice grew louder and louder.
“How many failures, how many setbacks, how many near-death escapes, how many painful torments. Chu Yun, are you going to stop here?”
No!!!!
I want to keep going, I want to continue forward, I want to reach the peak, to look down upon the ages, and overlook the mountains and rivers.
I want to walk my *own* Dao!
In an instant, Chu Yun awoke!
His entire body’s blood was boiling, like a volcanic eruption, with surging, gushing lava!
His fighting spirit burned in his chest, like a beacon fire reaching the heavens, destined to engulf all nine heavens and ten earths!
The King level spiritual pressure, heavier than mountains, pressed down on him. His bones creaked and groaned under the strain.
Damn the spiritual pressure!
The boundless spiritual light, brighter than the sun, shone into his eyes, causing Chu Yun’s seven orifices to spout blood.
Damn the spiritual light!
Even if I cannot see what lies ahead, I will still move forward.
Because I have found my Dao!
The soul, having experienced two lifetimes, churned violently at this moment. Chu Yun’s spiritual light, like a phoenix reborn, gradually brightened from its dimness…
Damn the Greedy Wolf King!
Saber light flashes!!
