Chapter 1561: Unrest

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Bai Ran’s sword sent Saintly Way power rolling out. If this was in a mortal world, he’d be able to easily halve a mountain that was thousands of meters tall.

Strands of Supreme Saint origin power spread from Mu Lingxi’s phoenix wings. Each feather radiated like divine feathers.

Kaboom!

The ball formed by the phoenix wings was sent underground by Bai Ran’s sword.

The next moment, Mu Lingxi flew out of the ground. She had blood at the corner of her lips and she was hurt, but her spirit hadn’t weakened. She still had strong battle intent.

Bai Ran was shocked inside. She took a hit from the Reflection Saint Sword straight on and is only slightly hurt. Her wings are a bit too strong.

The Reflection Saint Sword was a Second-Yao Saint Weapon. It had 23,400 runes inside and was immensely strong. It could be both a mirror and sword.

Of course, with Bai Ran’s current cultivation being a half-step Saint king, he couldn’t unleash the Second-Yao Complete Power yet.

If he could, he would be able to defeat Mu Lingxi with one strike.

A three-foot-long blue phoenix feather flew out of Mu Lingxi’s forehead. Light shot into the sky. It struck down at Bai Ran like an indestructible feather sword.

That was one of the two phoenix feathers formed by the Ice and Fire Phoenix’s entire saintly power and blood. Mu Lingxi had gotten it from the Yin Yang Lake in the Phoenix Nest.

One of the two feathers was now in Mu Lingxi’s hands. The other was Martial Saint Canglan’s.

Like the nine origin feathers of Supreme Saint Jiuling, the origin feathers of the Ice and Fire Phoenix were also very powerful. They could split mountains and kill demons.

And as Mu Lingxi continued to grow, the feather would probably become even stronger.

As the feather was struck out, Bai Ran’s pressure increased. He didn’t expect that a random woman from Zhang Ruochen’s side would be as strong as a Phoenix fairy.

Bai Ran couldn’t fend off Mu Lingxi’s attack. Every time the feather hit him, he would be forced back a step. Each step was countless feet from the last.

Not only was the feather strong, it also carried the power of the Extreme Yin Nether Ice. Not even 15 minutes of fighting later, Bai Ran’s arms became stiffer and stiffer. It was more difficult to manipulate Holy Qi as if he was being frozen.

In Cloud Field, Bai Ran had an extraordinary status. As the strongest prince of the Ran Race, one of the top ten races, he had the blood of the Ran Emperor. He’d never been repressed by a human woman like this before.

“Seems like I can’t capture you. I can only kill you.”

Murderous intent poured out of Bai Ran’s eyes. No longer holding back, he attacked with all his might.

Earlier, Bai Ran had wanted to capture Mu Lingxi, so he didn’t go all out and was instead restricted by her. This way, he embarrassed himself before the Saints of Cloud Field.

He could only kill Mu Lingxi to regain his pride and protect his status.

“Ten Kill Origin Sword.”

Bai Ran cast a mid-level saint spell. His body split into ten and surrounded Mu Lingxi.

The ten projections raised their long swords at the same time and Rules of Sword Way melded into each sword. The Sword Qi in that area became even wilder.

Ling Mi was a bit worried. “Priest,” she said hurriedly, “that Bai Ran is already using a mid-level saint spell. I’m worried that Junior Sister Lingxi won’t be able to take it.”

“He only has minor completion of that spell, instead of major completion. The power is limited. Lingxi’s cultivation path has been too smooth, so she has to go through some life-or-death experiences for a challenge. You’re the most clear-headed when you’re forced to the brink of death. That’s when you can see the rules of the world clearly. It’s very beneficial.”

Despite his words, Zhang Ruochen still summoned the Abyss Ancient Sword and grasped it.

If anything major happened, he would definitely attack to save Mu Lingxi.

“Phoenix Dance Nine Skies.”

Beams of Rules of Saintly Way spread out of Mu Lingxi’s wings. Countless phoenix feathers flew out of them.

Each feather emanated a shred of Ice Phoenix Qi. They condensed into dancing phoenix fairies and flew around her. In that instant, hundreds of beautiful figures appeared around Mu Lingxi. It was like phoenixes dancing in the nine skies.

This was a mid-level saint spell that she’d received from the Ice and Fire Phoenix.

Mu Lingxi hadn’t cultivated this spell long and was only a beginner, but with the support of the Extreme Yin Nether Ice, this attack was quite strong.

Kaboom.

Mu Lingxi and Bai Ran clashed dozens of times. Both the phoenix fairy projections and Bai Ran’s projections shattered, turning into nothingness.

Mu Lingxi’s face was extremely pale. Clearly, her injuries had worsened.

“It seems that King Hun was correct. She must have really received the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix.” Su Qingling and Ling Mi were both envious.

Bai Ran had used up a lot of Holy Qi and his face was a bit pale too, but his expression was dark. “Good, very good. You’re quite hard to deal with. Seems like I can’t take care of you unless I use the Rules of Truth.”

This was already Bai Ran’s third time at the Truth Godly Palace, so he’d naturally figured out some rules.

This time, Bai Ran used ghostly steps and added in the Rules of Truth. His speed instantly increased.

Before Mu Lingxi could react, the Reflection Saint Sword was already above her head.

She felt icy Qi travel from above her head. The other was too fast and she couldn’t dodge or block it at all. She didn’t even have time to activate her protective runes. It seemed that death was imminent.

But when the Reflection Saint Sword was three inches from her head, it was stopped by a broad black sword. All the Sword Qi and power were forced back.

It was…the Abyss Ancient Sword.

Mu Lingxi hadn’t comprehended the Rules of Truth and wasn’t Bai Ran’s match at all.

That was why the Rules of Truth were so powerful!

If there were two cultivators who were comparable but one had figured out the Rules of Truth, they would be able to defeat the other within seconds.

Zhang Ruochen stood behind Mu Lingxi. Holding the sword, he stared at Bai Ran.

Not only was Bai Ran forced back from that hit, his arm was in great pain too. He finally realized that Zhang Ruochen, number one on the Saints Merits Rank, did have some skills.

“Ten Kill Origin Sword.”

Bai Ran cast that mid-level saint spell again, but this time, he also added in Rules of Truth. The power of the spell more than doubled.

That powerful sword might went straight toward Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi.

Zhang Ruochen grasped Mu Lingxi’s cold hands. With his other hand, he raised the Abyss Ancient Sword. Without using flowery tactics, he activated the sword intent of Sword Seven and struck out.

Thud!

Bai Ran’s nine projections were all destroyed.

Even his true body was forced back. The acumen of the hand holding the sword burst open and became bloody.

Bai Ran looked at Zhang Ruochen as if he was a demon god. “How can this be? You haven’t studied the Rules of Truth. How can you be even stronger than me? Even if you have the Complete Full Body Constitution, you shouldn’t be this strong.”

After all, Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo had activated equality, so everyone was a half-step Saint King.

Under this condition, it depended on who was more advanced in the Rules of Truth, who knew more powerful techniques, whose body was stronger, and whose saint spells were stronger.

Clearly, cultivators who’d studied the Rules of Truth could completely destroy those who hadn’t.

But reality was the opposite.

“Your Rules of Truth are still very shallow with limited power,” Zhang Ruochen said.

“This man! He dares to look down on me.”

Bai Ran thought that Zhang Ruochen’s power was strange, so he didn’t dare to fight with him one-on-one anymore. “Zhang Ruochen must have something that can enhance his power,” he said. “Everyone, fight together. Disable them all and toss them out of Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo.”

Zhang Ruochen indeed had treasures that could enhance strength, such as the purple godly stone and Dragon and Mad Oxen Wine, but he hadn’t used them at all.

Right now, Zhang Ruochen didn’t only have the Saintly Way cultivation of a half-step Saint King. He also had his physical strength at that level. The two combined, Bai Ran naturally wouldn’t be able to stop him.

“Be fiercer with your attacks. So what if you kill them? You must leave a deeper lesson, or else Guanghan Field cultivators will keep coming to cause trouble.”

The cultivators of Cloud Field all let out long yells. Saintly might poured out of their bodies, transforming into beams of light that shot into the clouds.

There were other dojos established by gods near Mirror Fragrance. The cultivators there were all shocked. Some who liked drama hurried over to see what was happening.

“Six people broke into Mirror Fragrance. They seem to want to conquer it.”

“Mirror Fragrance originally belonged to Guanghan Field. After the world started failing, the dojo was taken over by other worlds. Now, the top figure of that dojo is Bai Ran of Cloud Field.”

“Merely six of them want to conquer Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo. How is that different from suicide?”

…

There were many dojos without owners in the Truth Heavenly Domain. Fights and deaths occurred often.

After all, having control of a dojo meant another cultivation resource.

“There’s new information that the cultivator attacking Mirror Fragrance is Zhang Ruochen, number one on the Saints Merits Rank. You probably would never imagine which world he’s from.”

“What? Number one on the Saints Merits Rank is attacking Mirror Fragrance Cliff Dojo? This is explosive news. It’ll probably cause a huge commotion in the Truth Heavenly Domain.”

“Hurry and spread the news that the number one on the Saints Merits Rank has appeared.”

“You didn’t tell me which world Zhang Ruochen is from yet.”

Soon, news that Zhang Ruochen was attacking Mirror Fragrance and representing Guanghan Field spread through Truth Heavenly Domain. The cultivators who were nearby all hurried over with the fastest speed.

After all, who didn’t want to see the top figure of thousands and thousands of Saints?
