Chapter 102
Zi Yue could not help shouting. What had he seen? This Condensing Truth Realm youth had erupted with an attribute sword intent…a feat even the Azure Domain’s top prodigies might not achieve.
Who, exactly, was this kid?
He stared in horror.
There was no time to think further.
A sharp light flashed across Gu Yang’s eyes. He swung his spirit sword.
“First Form of the Sky‑Cleaving Sword Art… Sever the Void!” he shouted. “Die!”
The Sky‑Cleaving sword intent erupted.
The next moment, an unimaginable, terrifying sword qi shattered the space itself and, with overwhelming force, drove straight at Zi Yue’s remnant soul.
Sky‑Cleaving sword intent could cleave the heavens…how could a mere remnant soul withstand it?
Zi Yue realized this and went pale. If that sword qi struck him, he would die without question. Gu Yang’s strike was a killing move.
The sword qi moved with such speed that it reached Zi Yue’s remnant in an instant. At that distance, Zi Yue could not dodge.
Gu Yang let out a slight breath of relief. Finally…
But just as he thought his sword would sever Zi Yue’s remnant, his pupils contracted.
A mysterious fluctuation rose, and Zi Yue’s remnant vanished into thin air.
“Brat! I didn’t expect your comprehension to be so terrifying!” Zi Yue’s voice rang in Gu Yang’s ears. “I must admit, you threatened me. Since that’s the case… I will no longer hold back! I’ll take your soul without courtesy!”
Gu Yang spun around, eyes wide.
Zi Yue’s remnant had appeared behind him. Before Gu Yang could react, it condensed into a black mist and dove into the center of his brow.
Sss!
“No!” Gu Yang’s face changed. He had no soul‑targeting techniques, so he could only watch the remnant enter his sea of consciousness.
He sat cross‑legged and plunged his mind inward.
Sure enough, within his vast sea of consciousness, Zi Yue’s remnant stood there.
“Get out of my mind!” Gu Yang roared mentally, his awareness issuing a threatening shout at Zi Yue.
“Heh, brat… you still don’t understand your situation,” Zi Yue sneered. “Though my remnant lacks my former strength, dealing with the soul of a mere Condensing Truth Realm cultivator is like crushing a chick. Watch as I take control of your body.”
Zi Yue laughed coldly and surged toward the center of Gu Yang’s mind.
Gu Yang’s face darkened. He had never faced anything like this: a remnant of a Life‑and‑Death Realm powerhouse invading his consciousness to destroy his soul and seize his body. What could he do?
A thousand thoughts flashed through his head.
Then suddenly Gu Yang’s eyes brightened.
Perhaps… this move will work! he thought.
He focused his awareness and charged toward the center of his sea of consciousness.
“Not bad, not bad,” Zi Yue murmured, pleased. “His mental strength is surprisingly good. This vessel is perfect in every way… except its aptitude is a bit weak. No wonder his cultivation stalled at the Condensing Truth Realm’s peak. Aptitude can be fixed, but such terrifying comprehension is rare.”
Zi Yue leisurely inspected Gu Yang’s mind as if strolling through his private garden. He felt certain of victory. Before entering, he had worried Gu Yang’s spirit might be too strong, but now he saw the gap…Gu Yang was not weak, but far from a match. He relaxed.
“Then prepare to accept this new body,” Zi Yue said with eager eyes.
He glanced aside and saw Gu Yang’s consciousness standing quietly at the edge, watching him.
“What? Brat, have you given up?” Zi Yue sneered, mistaking Gu Yang’s stillness for surrender. “If you surrender now, I won’t hold back.”
He transformed into a mass of black mist and lunged at Gu Yang, intending to swallow and absorb his consciousness. If he succeeded, he would gain all Gu Yang’s memories and abilities and fully possess this body. He trembled with excitement at the thought of returning to the world.
Gu Yang remained calm, watching Zi Yue’s charge with an almost unnerving composure.
Zi Yue felt a sudden, inexplicable unease. Something felt off. Could this brat still have a hidden move? Impossible…his mental power was only so strong. How could he have a counter?
Zi Yue pushed the doubt aside and laughed maniacally. I will be reborn!
The black mist reached Gu Yang and, without hesitation, lunged to engulf him.
At that instant Gu Yang’s eyes hardened.
A brilliant light exploded above his head.
Zi Yue froze in terror and looked up.
Above Gu Yang’s head hung a sword blade in midair…a blade that radiated an unbearably sharp edge, as if it could cut through anything.
Zi Yue’s face registered shock. Why is there residual sword intent in his sea of consciousness? And such terrifying sword intent!
He widened his eyes and turned to flee…danger, extreme danger; he had to escape now.
As Zi Yue spun to run, Gu Yang’s mouth curved into a cold smile.
“Trying to run? Too late,” Gu Yang said coolly.
He moved his mind. Instantly, the sword blade above erupted with an unimaginable, terrifying sword intent. The sword intent surged like a tidal wave, enveloping the entire sea of consciousness.
Zi Yue’s remnant, attempting to flee, was swallowed by the sword intent in an instant.
Sss!
The terrifying sword qi shredded his remnant, tossing it into chaos and leaving only fragments.
In moments, Zi Yue’s remnant was cleaved into countless pieces. Those fragments drifted through the sea of consciousness and, after a short while, failed to recombine.
Gu Yang finally exhaled heavily.
The remnant of a Life‑and‑Death Realm powerhouse had been utterly destroyed.
Zi Yue…the Life‑and‑Death Realm creator of the Purple Moon Trial Tower…fell completely in that instant.
He perished utterly.
