UNSTOPPABLE MARTIAL ARTS: STARTING FROM ATTRIBUTE POINTS ALLOCATION

Chapter 971: Chapter 487: Heavenly River Reappears

Lu Yun, clad in his mysterious robes, stood tall in the vast sky, gazing at the distant battle scene, a ripple of emotion stirring in his heart.

Ye Zhiying truly lived up to being the first among the True Spirit Realm inheritors of the Heavenly Lineage with his monstrous talent in swordsmanship and combat strength at the peak of his current realm, feared even by the seasoned warriors of the Entering Saint Realm.

And the Divine Eyes youth, perpetually enveloped by laws and runes, was also exceptionally strong, displaying a strength far beyond those he had killed, including the Divine Fire Ancestor and the Heaven Array Ancestor.

At that moment, Ye Zhiying launched an ‘Outer Heaven Flying Immortal’ slice, its might vast and overwhelming as if it sought to slaughter everything in the Netherworld.

The Divine Eyes youth, now merged with the Qilin, his body as tall as mountains, radiated the Divine Dawn endlessly, forming a devastating pillar of light that surged toward heaven, clashing with the sword light.

“Boom!”

The sword light and the light column exhaled by the Qilin collided mid-air, releasing a powerful outburst of energy that generated endless aftershocks, violently shaking the Void as if it could collapse at any moment.

The crowd was shocked; the intensity of the battle had escalated in an instant, and it was uncertain how much power each of the two had unleashed.

“Senior Brother Ye’s strength has improved significantly since last time,” Zhou Yichen remarked with a flicker of combat desire in his eyes.

Beside him, Xie Yushi, with sparkling bright eyes and flowing hair, her face crystalline in her white attire surpassing snow, remained remarkably calm, whispering, “The swordsmanship realm at the peak of the first layer of the sword domain is not so easily countered.”

“Heh heh, with his temperament, even if I don’t seek him out for a duel, he would find me,” Zhou Yichen laughed.

He even speculated that had he not been late, he would have been the one fighting Ye Zhiying at this moment.

Zhou Yichen felt somewhat conflicted about this, feeling both relieved and regretful.

“Your swordsmanship is indeed impressive, but it’s still not strong enough for me,” the Divine Eyes youth chuckled lightly, advancing towards Ye Zhiying for an attack.

This was the first time he took the offensive since their battle began, having previously been on the defensive.

At times transforming into a Qilin, at others into a human form, his formidable physical body easily shook the heavens.

Ye Zhiying, meanwhile, condensed his sword domain within a few feet around him, almost forming his own realm, unparalleled in defense, and unafraid of close combat with his opponent.

Moreover, after engaging in close combat, his sword techniques became even more flexible and varied, and his speed so fast that it was nearly beyond comprehension; if not for the opponent’s terrifying physical body, he would have already been slain.

“What a thrill, it’s been a long time since anyone has given me such an intense battle.”

The Divine Eyes youth laughed heartily, transformed into the Qilin radiating purple-gold light, runes swirling around him, seeming to possess boundless strength.

“Ha ha, the same goes for me,” Ye Zhiying merged with his sword, his body aligning with his sword domain, clashing in the Void with the surging purple Qilin.

“How fierce, how terrifying, worthy of being a Heavenly Pride of the Green Flame Palace, I am no match.”

“The Divine Eyes youth from the other realm is also terrifying with such a mighty physical body; even the swordsmanship prodigy with the strongest attack power cannot break his defense, and in the True Spirit Realm, this places him on invincible ground.”

Other Heavenly Prides commented; they were all at the peak of the True Spirit Realm, at least possessing close to the utmost combat strength, but they seemed somewhat pale in comparison in front of these two individuals.

As the two continued to exhibit more than ninety percent of their strength, the battle grew increasingly intense, deploying all their Divine Abilities and attack methods, turning the sky dark and the sun and the moon lightless, as if plunging into the Nine Netherworld, with heaven and earth shaking and spirits shrieking.

“Do you think if they keep this up, will they lose control and, even at the risk of using all their trump cards, still decide the outcome?”

“It’s hard to say for sure.”

Some combative Heavenly Prides, whenever they meet opponents who are equals, can’t control themselves and won’t stop until they plunge the world into chaos and determine a definitive victor.

After dozens of intense rounds, Ye Zhiying executed a Sword Secret Technique, his aura suddenly surged, and then he stepped forward, the boundless Void seemingly within his grasp, and his long sword traced an eerie arc, with a black River of Sword Energy surging violently.

“Boom!”

The Divine Eyes youth, calm and unhurried, used the Qilin Divine Skill, fierce and domineering, displaying his terrifying physical body and unparalleled defense to their utmost limit.

Yet the black River of Sword Energy was endless, the sword lights thick and dizzying, and from afar they caused one’s skin to hurt and soul to tremble.

And in that endless River of Sword Energy, a particularly concentrated one managed to pierce through the Qilin’s body, grazing past the Divine Eyes youth.

With a “Pu” sound, the Divine Eyes youth spat out blood containing terrifying black Sword Qi, which he forcibly expelled.

As he spat out this blood, a powerful surge of vital energy erupted, followed promptly by the wounds on his body healing at an incredible rate.

“Goodness, after fighting for so long, we finally see a bit of red,” someone joked.

“Looking at the current situation, it seems like Ye Zhiying has the upper hand.”

“Could it be that their battle is about to conclude with Ye Zhiying slightly ahead?”

“I’m afraid it won’t be that simple; that person has yet to use his Divine Eyes, and many of the Divine Abilities of the Qilin Divine Body have not been revealed.”

“Although I hate to admit it, I must say, your sword just now did indeed injure me.”

The Divine Eyes youth’s gaze was intimidating, his thick hair billowing as if he were a deity descended to earth, looking nothing like someone who had been injured.

“This is just the beginning.”

Ye Zhiying’s gaze was intensely bright, his fighting spirit fierce, valiantly invincible, driving the Daoist Soldier Longsword and tearing apart that stretch of the Void.

“This guy, getting all hot-blooded, is even deploying such swordsmanship and Divine Abilities,” Zhou Yichen stepped back slightly.

“Void Splitting Slash!” Xie Yushi’s beautiful eyes danced with light, slightly hesitant, also choosing to temporarily avoid the fray.

“Retreat quickly, it’s heating up!”

Sensing the terrifying burgeoning force, everyone exclaimed in alarm and hurriedly moved back as if facing a prehistoric fierce beast, unable to get away fast enough.

This was one of Ye Zhiying’s powerful sword techniques—the Void Splitting Slash. Once deployed, it would unleash its ultimate power, causing unparalleled and horrific destruction, capable of slicing through the void and triggering a void explosion, affecting an extremely wide area.

The resulting power was unimaginable.

Because once the void ruptured, it was enough to kill a common cultivator in the late stages of the True Spirit Realm.

They just wanted to watch the excitement, not get involved in the bloody mess.

Therefore, they all retreated, fearing that the space around them would be affected.

However, what was surprising was that although the void had indeed split open and infinite power had erupted, there was an intensely bright glow that exploded first.

“Hmm?”

Everyone looked towards that burst of light in astonishment.

It was a three-legged, two-eared furnace containing terrifying Divine Water, with power beyond imagination.

“Boom!”

The Divine Water burst out of the furnace like a dance of silver dragons and soaring Azure Dragons, instantly unleashing various powers.

Seeing the Divine Water surging out of the furnace, Lu Yun suddenly narrowed his eyes.

This Divine Water was clearly from the Lost Paradise’s Heavenly River.

Lost Paradise held two important treasures. The first was Thunder Soil, which Lu Yun had obtained. He integrated it to derive Thunder Divine Power, combining it with his own Dao to embark on the path of the Primordial Dao.

The other treasure was the Heavenly River, with supreme power and a terrifying curse power that even a holy body dared not touch excessively.

Back then, Han Zhong temporarily subdued and suppressed the Heavenly River with Divine Bones.

However, after Han Zhong had been suppressed and killed by Lu Yun, the Heavenly River vanished without a trace, searched throughout the entire battlefield but to no avail, leaving him feeling quite regretful and unwilling.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly River he had longed for was actually found and subdued by this person.

The Void Splitting Slash fiercely struck the furnace. All the water from the Heavenly River inside was blasted apart, diffusing throughout the void, and the terrifying curse power was ignited.

“Ah!”

A few who ran slower, after being tainted by the curse power, screamed out in pain.

“Retreat quickly, this kind of curse power is very peculiar, only a strong physical body can withstand it.”

As people retreated, they opened their Cave Heavens or summoned Dao Weapons to block the erosion of the Heavenly River’s water.

“The curse is too terrifying; I should have cultivated a Body Refining Method earlier.”

Those tainted by the curse power yelled, hastily expelling the ingrained curse power.

“This Heavenly River, in this person’s hands, has erupted with power far exceeding what Han Zhong could manipulate,” Lu Yun thought, unsure whether his own physical body could now be immune to the curse power of the Heavenly River.

Curse power was only part of the Heavenly River’s power. Under the urging of the young man with Divine Eyes, runes flickered on the three-legged, two-eared furnace. The water from the Heavenly River quickly gathered and then condensed into a fist-sized, crystal-clear water droplet, floating in the air.

When the light passed around the water droplet, it instantly disappeared, and this part of the void constantly shook, seemingly struggling to support this water droplet.

“Such methods have already reached an extraordinary and sublime realm,” murmured a Heavenly Pride, with an unmistakable shock in his eyes.

“Heavenly River—Divine Reversal Pearl!”

The young man with Divine Eyes pushed forward with both hands, and the water droplet, condensed from the Heavenly River, broke through numerous spaces with a force that could destroy heaven and earth, striking towards Ye Zhiying.

Where the water droplet passed, space collapsed, light twisted and disappeared, like a black hole quickly elongating.

“Open up for me!” Ye Zhiying bellowed, his voice deep and his expression solemn. His understanding of swordsmanship and secret techniques were simultaneously activated; his momentum surged again, his surroundings filled with sword Qi tearing heaven and earth as he condensed a more powerful sword technique to fiercely split open the water droplet.

With a swing of his long sword, the void immediately tore open like a zipper unfastening, the fissure rapidly extending.

Boom!

The power of the void erupted, and black sword Qi soared to the sky, collapsing the area with endless light swirling.

Especially when the water droplet collided with the long sword, that shockwave was spine-chilling. Even from a distance, it felt bone-chillingly cold, causing goosebumps all over one’s body.

Such a level of explosion, merely the residual effects could easily annihilate ordinary cultivators in the late True Spirit Realm, but what about the two at the center of the explosion, Ye Zhiying and the other?

The thought involuntarily arose in everyone’s minds.

However, to everyone’s shock, both were unharmed.

Around Ye Zhiying, black and white energies circled, neutralizing all power into nothingness.

As for the young man, runes flickered in his pupils, and suddenly a space appeared, absorbing all the residual waves into it.
