Section 52: The Ultimate Victor
2014-06-18 Author: Gu Zhenren
“Damn it, Chu Yun, may you die a horrible death!” The Demon Saint’s attack range was too vast, and the Dan Saint’s Clone was also affected, forcing it to deploy the Central God Bell to protect itself.
The Underworld Emperor retreated, as he had a Spirit connection with the Soldier Saint, which caused the Demon Saint to mistake him for an ally and not attack.
However, Innate Divine Demons were temperamental, and the Underworld Emperor was only temporarily safe.
The Spirit connection only caused the Demon Saint to overlook him for a moment. Its actual influence was very small.
“You all have fun.” After leaving the battlefield, the Underworld Emperor returned to the Immortal Pouch’s Spirit State, switched to Chu Yun, and flew away.
Using the Demon Saint’s frenzy to entangle the Dan Saint’s Clone and the Ancient Saint, Chu Yun seized the opportunity and rushed to the Barbarian Continent.
By this time, the Barbarian Saint had already been refined by the Ancient Saint, and the Barbarian Armor had become ownerless. Under the combined suppression of the Tuoyin Screw and the Star Sea Bowl, Chu Yun successfully subdued it.
Simultaneously, the heavily damaged Barbarian Continent was annexed by the Spirit State.
Three Saint Artifacts!
With this capital, Chu Yun immediately turned around and rushed back to the battlefield.
The Ancient Continent was well hidden by the Ancient Saint and was separated by the Sea of Chaos, making it difficult for Chu Yun to deduce its location in a short period.
Previously, Chu Yun had merely been setting up a plan.
Upon returning to the battlefield, he witnessed the Innate Demon Saint being jointly killed by the Ancient Saint and the Dan Saint’s Clone.
As Chu Yun reappeared with the Barbarian Armor atop his head, the Ancient Saint’s expression turned as cold as ice, while the Dan Saint’s Clone’s expression was one of immense shock.
Despite all precautions, Chu Yun had still outmaneuvered them.
Now that Chu Yun controlled three Saint Artifacts, the Ancient Saint had four, and the Dan Saint’s Clone had two. A gap in combat power had formed between the opponents.
“Dan Saint, you and I have both been outmaneuvered by Chu Yun, and our battle against the Saint Demon has left us severely weakened. We must unite to deal with Chu Yun!” the Ancient Saint shouted.
Chu Yun sneered, “Dan Saint, I did it to protect myself. You would have done the same. Now, the Ancient Saint has four Saint Artifacts, I have three, and you have two. The choice is yours!”
The Dan Saint’s Clone hesitated for a moment, then gritted its teeth and sided with Chu Yun.
In its estimation, the Ancient Saint posed a greater threat.
Seeing this, the Ancient Saint beat his chest and stomped his feet, pointing at the Dan Saint’s Clone and roaring, “You foolish creature! He predicted your reaction long ago. You’ve been tricked and you don’t even realize it?!”
The Dan Saint’s Clone’s expression wavered, and it began to stand by.
Chu Yun inwardly sneered, no longer trying to persuade the Dan Saint’s Clone, and directly charged at the Ancient Saint.
In the ensuing battle, Chu Yun was quickly at a severe disadvantage. Although he had the Barbarian Armor, a supreme defensive treasure, the Ancient Saint had a higher cultivation and four Saint Artifacts, repeatedly beating Chu Yun to the point of spitting blood and being in a sorry state.
The Dan Saint’s Clone finally couldn’t hold back any longer and joined the fray, teaming up with Chu Yun to deal with the Ancient Saint.
This battle quickly shifted the tide. The Ancient Saint was put on the defensive for the first time!
Previously, the Ancient Saint had chased Chu Yun and the Dan Saint’s Clone with the Hechuan Qin, Bingjue Wheel, and Ancient Green Lotus. Now, under the combined might of the Star Sea Bowl, Tuoyin Screw, Barbarian Armor, Central God Bell, and Female Heart Candle, it was forced to risk using the Danbao Lamp again.
Finally, after eighty-one consecutive days of intense fighting, Chu Yun suddenly laughed and made a stunning move. He threw out the Barbarian Armor to block the Bingjue Wheel. He then shot out the Star Sea Bowl and the Tuoyin Screw to engage the Hechuan Qin and the Ancient Green Lotus.
In doing so, Chu Yun was left with no Saint Artifacts to defend himself.
The Ancient Saint, caught off guard by Chu Yun’s recklessness, immediately cried out, “Dan Saint, he has no defense! If you don’t act now, when will you?!”
Chu Yun shouted, “Dan Saint, your choice is your own!”
The Dan Saint’s Clone hesitated again. It recalled Chu Yun’s Yin Yang Grand Harem, an item rumored to be a minor Saint Artifact. Though it lacked the true power of a Saint Artifact, it could provide defense for a short period. This was Chu Yun’s confidence.
In comparison, the chance of reclaiming its original Saint Artifacts was higher.
“If I reclaim the Danbao Lamp, I will also have three Saint Artifacts. With three each, the situation will be evenly matched!” With this thought, the Dan Saint’s Clone no longer hesitated, brandishing the Female Heart Candle towards the Ancient Saint.
The Ancient Saint’s mind immediately became disoriented, revealing an opening.
The Dan Saint’s Clone then threw out the Central God Bell. The bell flew above the Ancient Saint’s head, emitting an immense gravitational pull that snatched the Danbao Lamp as if it were dry leaves scattered by a strong wind.
The Ancient Saint gritted his teeth and cursed furiously, “Dan Saint, you are destroying yourself! You’ve fallen into Chu Yun’s trap!”
“You’ve said that many times,” the Dan Saint’s Clone sneered, ignoring the Ancient Saint’s warning, and shot two orange beams from its eyes onto the Danbao Lamp.
The Ancient Saint’s face turned pale. He could no longer control the Danbao Lamp and watched helplessly as it was absorbed by the Central God Bell.
Though the Dan Saint was dead, its clone still existed, a form of continued existence for the Dan Saint. Therefore, the Danbao Lamp was not truly ownerless.
“Hahaha, with the Danbao Lamp returned, I will return to my origin, become whole again, and no longer fear either of you!” the Dan Saint’s Clone declared with a laugh.
“Is that so…” Suddenly, Chu Yun’s cold laughter reached its ears.
The Dan Saint’s Clone turned its head and was instantly filled with horror and despair.
A Tai Ri Yin Yue Wan Ji Ball was flying towards it. It wanted to defend itself, but its hands were occupied by the Female Heart Candle, fully focused on the Ancient Saint, and the Central God Bell was still on its way back.
“No—!” it screamed a final cry of unwillingness. A single misstep had led to complete defeat. It watched helplessly as the Tai Ri Yin Yue Wan Ji Ball struck it, and an endless darkness descended, swallowing all its grand ambitions and aspirations.
“The Great Dao is achieved!” Chu Yun instantly seized the Female Heart Candle, the Central God Bell, and the Danbao Lamp.
Before he could claim them, he was subjected to the Ancient Saint’s most furious attack.
Chu Yun was severely wounded by the onslaught, spitting up a torrent of blood, but he laughed heartily. He didn’t counterattack but instead used the Barbarian Armor, Star Sea Bowl, and Tuoyin Screw to protect himself and turned to flee.
“Chu Yun, where do you think you’re going!” the Ancient Saint’s voice had changed, and he gave chase, pursuing relentlessly.
Unfortunately, although he had the upper hand now, he couldn’t control the situation. A battlefield like the Sea of Chaos was precisely what he could have sealed off.
Chu Yun ran ahead, with the Ancient Saint pursuing, shouting curses.
He used every possible hurtful word, vicious and insidious taunts and curses, all to provoke Chu Yun into turning back and fighting him.
Chu Yun remained unmoved, using the time to subdue the newly acquired Saint Artifacts.
First, the Female Heart Candle, then the Central God Bell, and finally the Danbao Lamp.
With six Saint Artifacts in his possession, Chu Yun still didn’t counterattack. Instead, he used the Star Sea Bowl to fully calculate the location of the Ancient Continent.
Seeing Chu Yun surrounded by six Saint Artifacts, the Ancient Saint’s heart had not yet given up hope. After all, activating Saint Artifacts consumed faith. Even with the Spirit State, Chu Yun could not sustain it infinitely.
But when he saw Chu Yun fully engaged in deduction, he finally despaired.
Chu Yun had extinguished his last sliver of hope.
“You have won this battle. Do not let me see you again. One day, you will pay a price a thousandfold!” The Ancient Saint turned and fled.
Chu Yun let out a loud laugh, “Where do you think you’re going?”
He followed closely behind the Ancient Saint, giving chase.
The Ancient Saint was so enraged he wanted to vomit blood. Chu Yun clearly intended no mercy.
But this time, it was his turn to be afraid to turn back and fight. He had to reclaim the Ancient Continent. Otherwise, if the Ancient Continent fell, it would not be a simple defeat but utter annihilation.
The two figures, one after the other, crossed an immeasurable distance. Finally, a great continent came into view.
This continent was incredibly vast, shrouded in a pure and ethereal frost mist. Through the mist, ancient trees and flowing springs could be vaguely seen, hinting at its flourishing prosperity.
“Receive!” The Ancient Saint reached out a hand, and the Ancient Continent immediately shrank, transforming into an Immortal Pouch and flying towards his hand.
“Now is the time!” Boundless Divine Light erupted from Chu Yun’s eyes.
He held up the Female Heart Candle and shone it upon the Ancient Saint.
The candlelight pierced directly into the heart, rendering any defense useless. The Ancient Saint’s mind immediately faltered. However, the effect was brief, far less than an instant.
The Ancient Saint had been prepared for Chu Yun.
However, Chu Yun had anticipated this. He played the Central God Bell and the Tuoyin Screw, attacking the Ancient Continent.
The Ancient Saint quickly countered with the Hechuan Qin, and the sonic waves exploded, causing a monstrous tsunami in the Sea of Chaos.
“Damn it…” Chu Yun gritted his teeth. At this moment, the difference in their cultivation was stark. The Ancient Saint, wielding a single Saint Artifact, could withstand the combined assault of Chu Yun’s two Saint Artifacts.
He intended to use other means to attack the Ancient Continent.
The Ancient Saint saw through his intentions and roared, “The best defense is offense! Bingjue Wheel, go!”
The Bingjue Wheel was not adept at defense, so the Ancient Saint simply unleashed it.
Chu Yun, with the Danbao Lamp above his head and the Barbarian Armor before him, struggled to block the peerless sharpness of the Bingjue Wheel.
Seeing the Bingjue Wheel successfully immobilize Chu Yun’s two major Saint Artifacts, the Ancient Saint laughed heartily, “Chu Yun, you want to destroy the Ancient Continent and annihilate my believers? That’s pure fantasy. I won’t let you succeed.”
“Is that so… How about this move?” Chu Yun sneered and unleashed the Star Sea Bowl.
The bowl flew towards the Ancient Saint like a meteor.
Suddenly, a massive explosion occurred, and starlight erupted for thousands of miles, illuminating a vast expanse of the Sea of Chaos and displacing a large area of space!
“What?! You actually self-destructed the Star Sea Bowl? You can even abandon a Saint Artifact!” The Ancient Saint was utterly shocked. The explosion of the Star Sea Bowl sent the Ancient Green Lotus flying from above his head.
The Ancient Continent’s Immortal Pouch suffered a heavy blow, resulting in the deaths of countless believers.
“For victory, what cannot be abandoned? Besides, I have already mastered the Star Saint’s Dao. His Saint Script has been absorbed by me, becoming my foundation.” Chu Yun’s voice was chillingly cold, filled with resolute power.
He had self-destructed a Saint Artifact without batting an eye.
At the same time, he took advantage of the Ancient Saint’s disarray and gathered all his strength, fiercely urging the Tuoyin Screw, Central God Bell, Female Heart Candle, Danbao Lamp, and Barbarian Armor.
The radiance of the five Saint Artifacts merged into a single beam. The Ancient Saint, caught off guard, found it difficult to resist with his full power.
After enduring for ten breaths, his defenses were broken by Chu Yun’s desperate, all-or-nothing attack.
“Chu Yun, I, who have schemed for countless ages, am to be defeated by you, a mere youth?! No, I refuse to die! I surrender, I surrender!” As death loomed, the Ancient Saint cried out in terror.
“Ancient Saint, this is why you have been utterly defeated. Your long life has made you lose the courage to fight desperately. Your trap was powerful, ensnaring nine Saints. But this reveals your cowardice in not daring to fight head-on. Go now. Only one can be the final victor, and that is I—Chu Yun!”
