NETS – Chapter 241 – Impossible
From afar, the True Spirit Heavenly Gate looked like an opening in the sky, sending out a river of sword lights to flood the world, while Lu Ping was a lone warrior trying to stop it on his own!
“[Ocean Suppress]!”
The Primordial Stars orbiting around Lu Ping suddenly stopped moving. They released an invisible and expanding wave of force that calmed the sword lights around him.
“[Great Flood]!”Enlightened Master Jin bellowed angrily. Another wave of sword lights poured out from the Heavenly Gate while the other sword lights also broke free from the suppression.
At the same time, Enlightened Master Jin was becoming anxious. He was reaching his limit, and couldn’t maintain the True Spirit Heavenly Gate for much longer.
Lu Ping noticed Enlightened Master Jin’s situation, and asked, “Whilst it’s true that a sword divine ability is extremely powerful, how much of its power can you actually unleash when you have barely attained it?”
The Heavenly Gate was only pouring out sword lights at a fifth of its initial rate. The gate was quivering and gradually fading away. This was a sign that Enlightened Master Jin’s true energy was depleting and that he was unable to maintain the sword divine ability for much longer.
Enlightened Master Jin hadn’t thought that Lu Ping’s divine sense would actually be strong enough to figure out his condition. Although Lu Ping’s divine sense couldn’t perceive as much as a divine revelation, his absurdly strong divine sense could still perceive a thing or two.
In fact, Enlightened Master Jin’s condition was far worse than Lu Ping had perceived. At this point in time, he didn’t even have the energy to talk back and could only glare at Lu Ping with a pair of eyes filled with killing intent!
“[Divine Smite]!”Seeing Enlightened Master Jin’s condition, Lu Ping decided to fight back!
“[Flood Reversal]!”
Enlightened Master Jin’s expression changed drastically when he saw Lu Ping trying to attack the True Spirit Heavenly Gate. He quickly turned the sword lights around to stop the Primordial Stars.
However, six of the twelve Primordial Stars suddenly flew to the front. They formed a ring and started rotating like a drill, opening up a path in the wave of sword lights, safely protecting six Primordial Stars in the middle.
When the remaining six Primordial Stars struck the Heavenly Gate, the six sword arrays that formed the gate’s beam shattered. As the beam fell, many of the sword lights suddenly lost their strength and fell downwards powerlessly.
Enlightened Master Jin finally began to panic. He tried his best to maintain the damaged Heavenly Gate in an attempt to completely suppress Lu Ping’s Primordial Stars.
The Heavenly Gate, which had lost its beam, split the river into twelve sword waves and chased after the Primordial Stars.
“[Mountain Repress]!”
The Primordial Stars rose up in the air with the sword waves chasing them from below. Then, the Primordial Stars shone brightly with spiritual light that illuminated the sky.
As if there was a chaotic gravitational field that formed around them, the sword waves were dragged and pulled around in a frenzy, clashing and eliminating each other.
Although Lu Ping had the Triple Turning Spiritual Pellet to support him, the Nascent Life Primordial Star Array was still too costly in terms of arcane energy expenditure. As a result, he also had to end the fight quickly.
The Primordial Stars flew over and surrounded the Heavenly Gate, shining brightly once again. The Heavenly Gate was overwhelmed by the gravitational pulls and began to break apart.
Enlightened Master Jin could no longer maintain the Heavenly Gate. Blood started flowing out of his mouth and nostrils. With his white face and red eyes, he looked like a ghastly wraith as he screamed madly, “IMPOSSIBLE! How could you break my sword divine ability!? Impossible…”
Bang—
Suddenly, Landslide smashed down on him from above. However, Enlightened Master Jin was quick to react and raised a rainbow overhead which blocked Landslide.
Then, Enlightened Master Jin dived into the river of sword lights, transforming into a golden carp, swimming quickly to the shattering Heavenly Gate.
Even though Lu Ping didn’t know what Enlightened Master Jin was trying to do, he naturally wouldn’t let it happen. So, he hurriedly cast the pestle mystic treasure towards Enlightened Master Jin.
A layer of the golden carp’s scales suddenly broke apart. The scales, along with golden mist that was released from the carp’s body, turned into a golden shield ready to block the pestle mystic treasure.
The golden scales were the scarlet armor Enlightened Master Jin was wearing, and the golden mist was his aegis energy.
The pestle was knocked back. Although Enlightened Master Jin was injured, he still continued to swim quickly to the Heavenly Gate.
Seeing that the Heavenly Gate was right in front of him, Enlightened Master Jin Li turned around and said, “Brat, I’ll kill you the next time we meet! [True Spirit Escape]!”
Enlightened Master Jin leaped up from amongst the water of sword lights and entered the Heavenly Gate, which was only left with an outline.
“You don’t have the chance anymore!”
A golden light suddenly shone on the leaping carp, and Enlightened Master Jin was stopped in mid-air for a split second.
In that instant, the Primordial Stars rose in the sky again and shone brightly producing five-colored lights. These lights illuminated the area and became the final blow leading to the destruction of the Heavenly Gate.
The sword arrays that formed the Heavenly Gate were all destroyed. The sword lights faded into nothingness, leaving only thes Enlightened Master Jin’s nascent mystic treasure left behind to be suppressed by the Primordial Stars.
Enlightened Master Jin watched as the Heavenly Gate collapsed in front of him. His nascent weapon was being suppressed, his true energy was depleted, and his injuries worsened every second.
At this point, he knew that there was no hope of escape anymore. He turned around and looked at Lu Ping with resentment, before rushing towards him frantically.
The Primordial Stars flashed brightly in the sky. Enlightened Master Jin immediately felt dozens of forces pulling him in different directions. He felt a sense of danger and his eyes opened widely with endless fear.
The golden carp’s head suddenly exploded open and a Primordial Star flew out from it!
Lu Ping breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed his divine sense. An endless wave of exhaustion immediately struck him.
He had actually killed a Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master!
Although Enlightened Master Jin was seriously injured before this, and most of his weapons had been destroyed in the continuous battles, Enlightened Master Jin was still a Second Layer Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master.
However, now was not the time to relax. This fight would have definitely attracted the attention of the nearby cultivators. There would be Core Forging Realm Enlightened Masters coming to check the scene out sooner or later.
Enlightened Master Jin’s golden flying sword was still struggling violently, trying to free itself of the Primordial Stars’ suppression.
Lu Ping looked at Enlightened Master Jin Li’s true form, which was a giant golden carp, and started thinking.
Then, he took out an interspatial pouch. Just as he was about to place the golden carp inside it, the carp’s body suddenly exploded and a golden bead of dazzling luster flew out.
The golden bead absorbed the spiritual energy around it to help it fly, while the suppressed golden flying sword also became agitated.
The Golden Core!
“I knew you had a trick up your sleeve!”
Lu Ping coldly laughed. A bronze mirror appeared in his hand and golden light shot towards the Golden Core.
The Golden Core shuddered violently but was completely unable to move at all.
Then, the Primordial Stars moved above Lu Ping’s head and shone brightly, completely suppressing the Golden Core!
Lu Ping’s divine sense surged into the Golden Core and found a small strand of divine revelation that was fluctuating with a mix of terror and anger.
He didn’t hesitate and easily eliminated the divine revelation, causing the Golden Core to finally stop struggling.
How fortunate!
Lu Ping didn’t expect that he could actually obtain Enlightened Master Jin’s Golden Core. This Golden Core was much more valuable than the golden flying sword.
As Enlightened Master Jin had truly died this time, the golden sword also stopped struggling.
However, Lu Ping didn’t let his guard down and walked to the golden sword to retrieve it himself.
Mystic treasure weapons would start to develop their spirituality. Some stronger ones would even select their own masters. Hence, in the case of the master’s demise, they might choose to leave on their own or even take revenge.
As a result, Lu Ping grabbed the golden flying sword with his own hands and used his arcane energy to make sure he had fully suppressed it before then keeping it in his interspatial ring.
Right now wasn’t a good time to tame and refine the flying sword.
Suddenly, Lu Ping furtively glanced behind him. He immediately cast the Auspicious Cloud and disappeared into the dark night.
