Chapter 761: Eight Steps of Chaos Yin and Yang!
「Sword Control Sect.」
What does it mean to control a sword? To control it with Qi, to control it with spirit!
A Sword Immortal from the Sword Control Sect who cannot use magic artifacts is no Sword Immortal at all.
Now, with the fourth seal undone, the Red Lotus Sword Immortal’s true strength was finally unleashed.
"Red Lotus Swallowing Sun!"
The Red Lotus Sword Immortal pointed a finger.
Hundreds of red flying swords could be seen emerging from her body. Each magic artifact flying sword came together to form a bewitchingly beautiful lotus. The petals were formed from the flying swords themselves, the sword light was dazzling, and the Sword Qi surged to the heavens.
A single sword rises, and the Red Lotus manifests!
The Red Lotus coalesced, taking the shape of a lotus blossom. Then, it became like a great maw, lunging to devour Lin Mu. The Red Lotus can swallow the sun; today, it would devour Lin Wudi.
Wherever the sword light passed, everything turned red.
The foundation stones at the gates of the Qin Family Ancestral House were sliced apart by the red Sword Qi. Debris flew through the air, only to be instantly vaporized into ash by the Sword Qi!
Sand, insects, even the air!
The Red Lotus Sword Qi swept through, unstoppably obliterating everything in its path.
The spectating Martial Artists wore expressions of horror, retreating one after another.
Zhang Daoyun watched the sky fill with the Red Lotus Sword Qi, his heart filled with admiration. With a single thought, she commands hundreds of swords! A single sword strike, capable of severing the heavens! The Ancient Land Sect has truly elevated swordsmanship to a transcendent, almost divine level. If I were the one facing such Sword Qi... not even an endless supply of life-saving Copper Coins could save me!
"Lin Wudi, let’s see how you handle this strike of mine!" the Red Lotus Sword Immortal shrieked, seeming to have descended into a frenzy.
Lin Mu roared icily, "You insulted my family, bullied my disciple, and destroyed my home. For that, you deserve to die!"
As his voice fell, Lin Mu took a single step forward!
Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps!
First Step: Shatter Rivers and Mountains!
The heavens shook and the earth trembled! All the onlookers lost their footing and collapsed to the ground!
The encroaching Red Lotus Sword Formation shuddered violently! The magic artifact flying swords emitted a hair-raising screech.
It’s happening! Zhang Daoyun was witnessing Lin Mu’s invincible Divine Skill from a bystander’s perspective for the first time. On that day, Lin Mu’s Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps shattered my Dragon and Tiger Divine Skill! Now, Lin Wudi’s Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps is even more powerful!
Second Step: Terrify Ghosts and Gods!
A colossal roar echoed as ghosts and deities wailed! Under the shockwave of the second step, the Red Lotus Sword Qi warped, becoming eerily strange and bewitching!
Third Step: Heaven and Earth Change!
Violent currents churned the air as the very wind and clouds changed color. Internal Energy radiated in all directions, as if doomsday had arrived.
Fourth Step: Tremble the Stars!
The clouds rolled back, the sun and moon vanished from sight, and the stars themselves trembled!
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The Red Lotus Sword Formation’s advance was halted, trembling under the might of the Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps.
"Lin Wudi!" the Red Lotus Sword Immortal let out a piercing howl and spat out a mouthful of essence blood!
The essence blood shot into the Red Lotus Sword Formation. The red magic artifact flying swords, stained by the blood, became gruesomely crimson, like a demonic red lotus poised to devour its victim!
Fifth Step: Make the Buddha Kneel!
The fifth step carried an immense divine might, as if a deity had descended upon the world with absolute authority.
Kneel! Kneel! Kneel!
A single word echoed in everyone’s mind.
THUD!
Among the spectating Martial Artists, some could no longer resist and collapsed to their knees. The expressions of the others changed drastically, but it was already too late for them to retreat.
The sound of bodies hitting the ground resounded one after another.
All the Martial Artists who had come to watch the show were now kneeling before Lin Wudi.
Not just anyone was qualified to witness Lin Wudi’s spectacle!
Gloating over his misfortune? Kneel!
Here to watch the tigers fight from a safe distance? Kneel!
Harboring deceitful schemes? Kneel!
Anyone who held the slightest ill will toward Lin Wudi, his family, or his disciple—now, all of them knelt!
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The Red Lotus Sword Immortal’s expression changed dramatically. The sound of her bones cracking came from her knees! She was a Sword Immortal! She was a Foundation Building Immortal from the Ancient Land Sect! How could she possibly kneel!
Lin Mu took another step.
Sixth Step: Evil Demons Weep!
A stream of bloody tears flowed down the Red Lotus Sword Immortal’s cheeks.
As if in repentance! As if in defiance!
Her divine soul trembled, and her divine sense scattered. At this moment, the Foundation Building Immortal could not control her own mind! An uncontrollable, tragic helplessness welled up from the depths of her heart. The Red Lotus Sword Immortal could feel that as the bloody tears flowed, something within her had been lost.
Even the brilliance of her Red Lotus Swallowing Sun Sword Formation dimmed!
"I refuse to accept this!"
The aura around the Red Lotus Sword Immortal flickered; the final seal was on the verge of shattering! She refused to accept it! If I could fight with my full power, I could definitely...
Seventh Step: Reverse the Flow of Time!
Lin Mu took his seventh step!
Beneath that single step, the Red Lotus Sword Immortal’s delicate body trembled! Before her very eyes, a single strand of white appeared in her black hair. In the span of a single breath, her hair had already turned gray and white. Wrinkles appeared on her once-smooth cheeks.
With that one step, it was as if she had aged a hundred years.
She was a Foundation Building Immortal, possessing a lifespan of several hundred years. But now, Lin Mu’s step had destroyed two-thirds of it!
"No!"
The Red Lotus Sword Immortal let out a heart-rending scream, forgetting all about breaking her seal. A woman, even a female Sword Immortal, places great importance on her appearance, to say nothing of a step that destroyed two-thirds of her life!
At this moment, the Red Lotus Sword Immortal’s heart was filled with dead ashes. Her Red Lotus Sword Formation was mere inches away from Lin Mu. With one more breath, her Red Lotus Swallowing Sun could have devoured Lin Wudi. But now, she was no longer capable of it!
So this is the true face of the Nine Steps of Heaven and Earth Divine Skill? Zhang Daoyun was too shocked to speak. Back on Dragon Tiger Mountain, if Lin Mu had unleashed such power, I, Zhang Daoyun, would likely be a pile of withered bones by now. So he was holding back that day... Zhang Daoyun wasn’t sure whether to feel fortunate or to lament. I, a Heavenly Master of my generation, was not even worthy of Lin Wudi’s full strength!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Time is irreversible. Under its ravages, the Red Lotus Swallowing Sun Sword Formation withered and shattered. Two-thirds of the sword array crumbled into nothingness.
The four Emperors of the Dark Church looked ashen-faced. They exchanged a glance and fled without the slightest hesitation! With Lin Wudi’s return, to remain here meant certain death!
Eighth Step: Yin and Yang in Chaos!
Just as the four Emperors of the Dark Church attempted to flee, Lin Mu took his eighth step!
Heaven and earth quaked, and the Sword Qi reversed its flow!
The Red Lotus Sword Formation was utterly pulverized! At this moment, the very spiritual energy of heaven and earth grew violent and wild. The spectating Martial Artists shrieked wretchedly as their own Inner Strength tore bloody wounds across their bodies.
BANG!
The black qi exploded! The four Emperors burst with astonishing streams of black qi. The four were torn apart by the power of darkness roiling within their own bodies! With terror and despair in their eyes, their flesh and blood dissolved into that very power.
Born in darkness, raised in darkness, and now, dead by darkness!
Yin and Yang are thrown into chaos, True Qi spirals out of control, and Inner Strength runs rampant. Lin Wudi’s Divine Skill has already transcended the martial and entered the Dao! Ye Kuangren watched the scene unfold, a look of yearning on his face.
Zhang Daoyun was stunned into silence. This one step throws Yin and Yang into chaos for miles, turning the world upside down. All the rules have been rewritten by Lin Wudi. This is his invincible domain. Within the range of the eighth step, Lin Wudi is a god! He can control the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth! What a mysterious and terrifying Dao Art!
The Red Lotus Sword Immortal had already been suffering a backlash from the world’s suppression for attempting to break her final seal. Now, with Yin and Yang in disarray and her True Qi out of control, clusters of blood erupted from her body! Even the Red Lotus Sword Qi shot uncontrollably from her body. Her flesh was torn, and blood flowed freely!
In an instant, the Red Lotus Sword Immortal was disfigured beyond recognition!
BANG!
The next moment, the chaos of Yin and Yang actually shattered the final seal within her body. A terrifying power erupted forth, instantly crushing everything within a radius of hundreds of meters into dust.
The power of a Foundation Building Immortal was truly earth-shattering
