Seeing Gu Yang’s reaction, the remnant soul Zi Yue sneered coldly.
“You brat, stop your futile resistance!”
“I, Zi Yue, have roamed the Azure Domain for so many years…what prodigies haven’t I seen?”
“You’re only at the Condensing Truth Realm; do you really think you can fight me?”
“I am a Life‑and‑Death Realm powerhouse. Even as a mere remnant soul, I am not someone a lowly Condensing Truth Realm cultivator can compare to!”
“Hand your body over to me willingly, and perhaps I’ll be… gentle with your spirit.”
Zi Yue’s remnant soul curled his lips into a chilling smile that made Gu Yang’s skin crawl.
“Get lost!” Gu Yang snapped, unwilling to waste words.
With a sharp motion, his spirit sword slid free and landed in his hand. True qi erupted from him.
Bang!
The surrounding restraints shattered.
Gu Yang raised his hand without hesitation and unleashed ninety percent sword intent.
He slashed.
Blade light streaked across the void; a savage sword qi cut toward the remnant soul.
The hut collapsed the instant the blade fell, wood splintering and buildings disintegrating in an instant.
Whoosh!
The sword qi struck Zi Yue’s remnant soul.
Zi Yue, however, only smiled coldly and stood his ground without dodging, watching the sword qi rush in.
Then the scene that made Gu Yang’s pupils contract occurred.
Sss!
The sword qi passed straight through Zi Yue’s remnant soul, scattering it.
The blade qi slammed into a nearby spatial barrier, leaving a deep scar.
But immediately afterward…
The dispersed remnant soul reformed, restoring Zi Yue’s figure.
He still wore that cold, sinister smile.
“Ninety percent sword intent…quite a prodigy,” Zi Yue said. “But pity. If you had comprehended the Great Perfection of sword intent, you might threaten me. Now… you’re far from it.”
“Now… it’s my turn!”
A snake‑like glint flashed in Zi Yue’s eyes. In an instant, his remnant vanished.
Gu Yang’s pupils tightened as a domineering spatial force bound his entire body.
It was the same trick as before.
The spatial seal wasn’t overwhelmingly strong…Gu Yang could have broken it with effort…but it was annoying.
As the seal locked him, Zi Yue’s remnant suddenly appeared behind Gu Yang, reaching for his head.
Gu Yang’s pupils shrank. He tore free of the seal without hesitation and exploded a punch forward.
Bang!
He struck with a punch fused with eighty percent peak fist intent, shaking even the surrounding space. The remnant soul scattered.
But then a strange thing happened.
The remnant reformed as if untouched.
That punch seemed to have no effect.
Gu Yang’s expression hardened. It had no effect?
Zi Yue’s plan faltered; he stepped back and frowned at Gu Yang.
“You refuse courtesy and force me to punish you! I didn’t want to damage my vessel…it must be perfect,” Zi Yue snarled. “But you… are far too disobedient!”
A murderous aura flickered across Zi Yue’s face.
As a remnant soul, Zi Yue could not cultivate true essence himself; the powers he now used came entirely from the Purple Moon Trial Tower. Before dying, he had prepared everything and expected a powerful genius to arrive. The tower allowed him to manifest Yuan‑Sea Realm strength.
With that in mind, Zi Yue raised his hand. In an instant, countless extinguishing‑like breaths fixed on Gu Yang.
Gu Yang did not hold back. His spirit sword rang with a crisp note.
He lifted the sword and slashed.
A terrifying sword intent erupted…a complete Small‑Perfection Sword Intent.
At that moment, waves of black mist burst forth, surging toward Gu Yang with violent momentum.
Gu Yang held his spirit sword; the Small‑Perfection Sword Intent exploded and he slashed across the void.
Sss!
A condensed, terrifying sword qi detonated.
Rumble!
The black mist surged and collided with the blade qi, producing a tremendous roar that shook the entire space.
Outside, people retreated in panic as the Purple Moon Trial Tower trembled violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.
“What’s happening?”
“What is Gu Yang doing?”
“Could the tower self‑destruct once its inheritance is taken? Is Gu Yang absorbing the inheritance?”
Many watched in stunned speculation.
Inside the void, Gu Yang fought with sword in hand. Opposite him, Zi Yue’s remnant looked grim.
“You’ve reached Small‑Perfection of sword intent… you actually comprehended sword intent to Small‑Perfection!?” Zi Yue exclaimed, shocked.
To grasp that level of sword intent at sixteen or seventeen years old required an absolutely top‑tier prodigy. Not just in Chu Kingdom…across the entire Azure Domain, only the most monstrous geniuses could achieve it.
Could this kid be a product of those ancient masters of the Azure Domain?
Zi Yue felt both astonished and wildly elated. A body that had comprehended Small‑Perfection sword intent…if he could seize it and fully control it, he would reclaim his former dominance in the Azure Domain.
But a problem emerged.
Gu Yang’s power, after attaining Small‑Perfection sword intent, was absurdly strong. Even if Zi Yue could unleash Yuan‑Sea Realm strength through the tower, he could not threaten Gu Yang. If he could not force Gu Yang unconscious, the difficulty of possession would skyrocket.
Zi Yue had always been cautious; that caution had kept his remnant alive for ten thousand years.
Now he faced two choices.
The first: use brute force to render Gu Yang unconscious…the simplest and easiest path. Destroying his spirit would be like crushing an ant.
The second: abandon the power contest and let his remnant enter Gu Yang’s sea of consciousness to fight his spirit directly. That was risky…if his remnant lost, it would be utterly annihilated; Zi Yue would vanish from the world forever.
As Zi Yue hesitated, Gu Yang struck again.
A fierce killing intent flashed in Gu Yang’s eyes. He raised his mid‑grade spirit sword and unleashed a special, razor‑sharp attribute sword intent.
Zi Yue recoiled in horror. “Impossible!”
“You’re only Condensing Truth Realm… how could you comprehend an attribute sword intent!?”
“And this sword intent…”
