Martialism
Chapter 102's
The Immortal Saint of Swords and Immortal Sword Sages had left.
The once beautiful white celestium hall in Quiet City was in a terrible mess, with cracks and debris everywhere. Only a handful of the most powerful heavenly clans were capable of such grandeur.
The Quiet City was once the headquarters of the Dominating Aura Clan, an aggressive heavenly clan that quickly flourished in their dominance.
The entire hall was extremely dusty and many of the heavenly guests coughed weakly.
There were over a hundred heavenly people who visited at first. Some came to interrupt the marriage and some came here to get acquainted with the new Domain Lord of the Tranquil City. But there are only fifty of them now.
Over fifty celestials were scattered around the hall, unable to move anymore.
The surviving celestials were tired and many of them had serious internal injuries. Some of them even cried loudly for the dead.
But most of the heavenly beings were looking at the group of Alice Heavenly and Yi Ping in the middle of the hall…
Yi Ping fell down and his breathing was extremely weak.
Yu’Er, Mei’Er, Youxue, Yunzi, Shishi the Stellar Heaven Fairy, Lele and Lie Qing surrounded him and tried to resuscitate him while Old Man Universal stuffed some pills into his mouth…
The Universal Old Man smacked Yi Ping's chest with heavy punches after another, causing the unconscious Yi Ping to tremble and froth blood every time!
Lele said exasperatedly, “Dirty old man, what are you doing? You killed! I've never seen anyone hit someone to save someone!”
Youxue also said with annoyance and he almost cried, “Please stop. You killed him ..”
Old Man Universe smiled bitterly, “Why should I kill my own protege? I saved him ..”
Yunzi also looked at the Universal Old Man in disbelief, “I .. I think I went to get Heavenly ..”
Universal Old Man wiped off the sweaty grain as he stuttered, “Trust me, trust me. Even if you get the Celestials to be here, it's a waste. Moreover, he was unable to be distracted right now. My pill may not be a magic pill but it is better than nothing.”.
It was true that it was futile to obtain the Celestials here. Or even Shen Xingyue or Yixian. It was because at this moment, they were depleting their internal strength to save the Goddess Ascension. The internal force energy was extremely valuable to martial practitioners and would take a long time for them to recover. Moreover, frivolously expending their internal energy carried a great risk as well. That was why martial practitioners were reluctant to expend their precious internal energy for anyone.
But Yixian did not hesitate at all when she used the internal energy of the Eternal Heavenly Tear in an attempt to save Goddess Ascension. Both Shen Xingyue and Lingfeng!
At this moment, Universal Old Man and the other girls also expended their internal energy to help Yi Ping without hesitation even though they were still surrounded by hostility.
Stellar Heaven Fairy whispered to Yu’Er and Mei’Er, “You are a Golden Celestial now. Are you really the Eclipse Goddess and Axis Heaven? Is there anything you can do?” She cried. She did not expect her marriage to be ruined because the groom had an accident. He wailed inwardly, “There is nothing but tragedy awaiting me in the Heavenly Realm ..”
Mei’Er stared at Yu’Er gloomily as she channeled a golden light pulse into Yi Ping, “Sister, do you remember?”
Yu’Er nodded gently as she hit Yi Ping in her life channel with her fingers, “Ya, I remember but Mr. Yi Ping was too badly injured. We can only try with the complicated energy of our Midheaven Epiphanies ..”
Mei’Er said gently to the other girls, “Saudari. Do not waste your internal energy in vain. Leave it to Old Man Universal, Yu’Er and I. If the three of us cannot save Mr. Yi Ping's life, then no one else can.”.
Lie Qing, Lele, Yunzi, Youxue and the Stellar Heaven Fairy were startled by their transformation. They reluctantly comply. Mei’Er's voice may be soft but it has a bewildering commanding pull in it.
Yu’Er said softly, “There are six different intrinsic sword energies in his body. The best we can do now is to suppress the six conflicting sword energies first and then think of a way to save his life ..”
Suddenly, his voice became very soft as he was heard muttering. “Yi Ping... White Sage.. I thought I would never see you again.
Most of the heavenly guests paid little attention to them except Xuan Kong, Xuan Qian, Xuan Wei and Xuan You. Instead, their eyes were fixed on the black relic impaled in the center of the majestic, Celestial Alice.
The divine sword was impaled in the middle of the great hall and no one claimed it!
Xuan Kong, Xuan Wei, Xuan Qian, Xuan You, Northern Tyrant, Deadly Wanderer and many others were now staring at the Heavenly Alice nervously.
But no one wanted to be the first to go to the middle of the great hall to take Celestial Alice while the Universal Old Man was there. That was because the only heavenly survivor of the unscathed ordeal was the Universal Old Man. He was not only an Ancient Celestial but he was one of the seven super celestials in the previous rank along with the Immortal Saint of Swords.
After witnessing the epic duel of Immortal Sword Sage and Immortal Saint of Swords, the surviving celestials were stunned by their sword practice as well as their energy training. They had never expected that their martial difference would be this big!
Even Yi Ping and the Ascension Goddess were several leagues above them.
They were unable to understand how a heavenly practitioner like Yi Ping who had not managed to reach Heaven Gold could exchange so many blows with the Eternal Holy Sword.
The secret verdict among the heavenly guests is, “They overestimate too much!”
The conclusion of the secret decision was, “Is it because of the holy sword that was in their hands?”
The heavenly sword was a god sword because unlike ordinary swords, it was able to absorb and eliminate the shock waves of powerful sword energy produced by internal energy practitioners.
And of course, martial energy and power were easier to channel and amplify through the use of holy swords.
In the Martial Brotherhood and in the Heavenly Realm, internal energy practitioners were commonplace but sword energy practitioners were extremely rare. It was a martial path filled with dangers and difficulties, and, with only one or two in every few generations one could reach the immaterial energy level and it was even more difficult to ascend to the Heavenly Realm. While energy practitioners were all martial exponents that everyone wanted to avoid, they were invincible. Any injury or disruption to their vital energy channels could be fatal to them.
Therefore, the reason why they were all staring at the Heavenly Alice was not because they dared to dream of challenging the Eternal Holy Sword or the Eternal Sword Sect.
It was because the holy sword not only gave them an advantage over their closest opponents, but also because the holy sword was known to help the heavenly practitioners in overcoming the terrible Heavenly Tribulation.
Therefore many of the visiting celestials were now staring at Celestial Alice and were thinking about their next move.
The Immortal Saint of Swords had said that this sword here was a divine sword and was baptized as Celestial Alice. But was Celestial Alice really a holy sword? But where is the divine air? All heavenly beings cannot feel it…
But even though they were unable to sense it, they knew that Celestial Alice was no ordinary holy sword. It was because when the Immortal Saint of Swords casually dropped it, it had pierced deep into a white marble puncture that was almost impervious to most of its strength and injuries.
Could Celestial Alice be a True Divine Sword, an immortal sword from the God Realm? Given their current state of divinity, perhaps that was why they were unable to recognize it?
Most of the visiting celestials were unable to recognize the divine weapon unless the weapon had been unsheathed from the very beginning. Only the celestial emblem was able to recognize the aura of a divine weapon from afar.
Northern Tyrant was a friend of Ximen Nanqing, the protege master of the Dominating Aura Clan. Together, they had formed an unlikely alliance to dominate the Heavenly Realm.
Imagine the horror of the Northern Tyrant when he heard that Ximen Nanqing had been killed and the Dominating Aura Clan had been dissolved!
He quickly gathered back the heavenly practitioners from the Dominating Aura Clan who had come to defect to his clan. He had come to face the new lord of Quiet City who had the courage to change the domain name of the Dominating Aura Clan and expel all the surviving heavenly practitioners.
His initial shock was absurdity when he heard the first report, “A small group of unknown heavenly practitioners have taken over the Dominating Aura City ?! Ximen Nanqing has been defeated and his whereabouts unknown?”
The next report by the surviving heavenly practitioners of the Dominating Aura Clan who had defected to him revealed further information, “The Sacred Ascension Sect has made their move against the Dominating Aura Clan, the, annihilate all other resistance. So this Yi Ping was just a lucky person, who happened to be in the right place at the right time and only picked up the remnants of that battle. But as long as Ximen Nanqing was alive, then that Yi Ping would not last long and he would be shocked.”
It was because he knew how powerful Ximen Nanqing's exponent was. His martial power, intelligence and cunning made him an enemy that could not be underestimated!
Then Nanqing Ximen's death was suddenly announced and that the new Quiet City Domain Ruler had buried him properly.
He's dumbfounded.
He quickly gathered some of his best fighters and contacted some of his heavenly allies to take revenge for Ximen Nanqing.
Of course that's not his only goal. Everyone knew that the Dominating Aura Clan was an extraordinary rich man, with a huge store of white celestium stones and precious celesium metals. So very naturally, he had the intention to seize the Quiet City for himself. But of course, Ximen Nanqing's martial secrets should not be allowed to fall into the hands of others.
But now when he witnessed Yi Ping's group emblem skills and the miserable state they were in, he was more than shocked.
He thought, This “Yi Ping can actually fight against Immortal Saint of Swords one on one. Although the Immortal Saint of Swords had conceded but he had not really lost. Although this Yi Ping had fallen but there was still a Universal Old Man.”.
Some of the visiting celestial people were silently staring at him and from their eyes, they gestured. “They are just a little. We're plenty. If we all move at the same time, surely we can defeat Old Man Universal?”
The other nodded as he looked at the falling sky, seemingly hinting. “With so many dead here, our actions will surely be justified. After all, we are only seeking justice for the fallen and there are more than twenty heavenly clans who fell here.”.
Another Heavenly shook his head as if he was hinting when he saw the Deadly Wanderer. “It will depend heavily on everyone's cooperation, but not all other heavenly beings want to fight or have martial power left now.”
Suddenly, Xuan Kong had stepped forward towards the center of the great hall, towards Celestial Alice followed by Xuan Qian, Xuan Wei and Xuan You.
The hearts of many of the visiting Celestials were pounding as they were afraid that Xuan Kong would seize Celestial Alice first.
Lele said coldly, “What do you want?”
Xuan Kong looked humbled this time as he bowed respectfully, “We ..
Xuan Wei stuttered, “Yes, that's right.”
Lele asked coldly, “Oh? What's up?”
Xuan Kong looked past them as he looked at Yu’Er and Mei’Er, stammering to answer. “Is it the Eclipse Goddess of Heaven and the Shaft Goddess of Heaven?”
Mei’Er paused for a while while Yu’Er continued to use her intrinsic internal energy to stabilize the conflicting sword energy within Yi Ping's body. He turned to say, “Yes? I am the Goddess of Heaven Poros.”
Xuan Kong began to look at his brothers who were still students…
It was because even though they were elders of the Ascension Sect in the lower realms and in the Heavenly Realm, they had never seen the Eclipse and the Heaven Axis Goddess before. The Ascension Sect was a major heavenly clan in the lower realms and many heavenly practitioners from the Ascension Sect were actually meditating alone in their high mountains. Therefore, they had never met them before.
However, they knew that Eclipse and the Axis Heaven Goddess were one of the first heavenly practitioners of the Ascension Sect. In terms of seniority and rank, they were their elders even though they had risen first. The first to ascend was ranked higher than the later except for the Heavenly Supreme of the Ascension Sect. And the Eclipse Goddess and Heaven were the Heavenly Supreme of the Ascension Sect.
It was because the Supreme Heavenly Sect of the Ascension Sect had a different heavenly practice from the others, taking far longer than others! Hence they had a special position within the Ascension Sect!
Xuan Kong, Xuan Qian, Xuan Wei and Xuan You immediately bowed their hands to say respectfully, “My respect for.”.
But Mei’Er interrupted gently but her voice was amazing, “Forget it. You didn't trust us at first. You should leave immediately.”
Xuan Kong stuttered, “But .. You are ..”
Mei’Er said expressionlessly and her golden eyes were bright gold, “Supreme Celestial, am I right? My divine soul, my holy body belongs to the Ascension Sect and the Supreme Ascension. My mortal body, my spirit to the Ascension Fire . You can say that to God Almighty. Now leave. We will be visiting the Sacred Ascension Sect soon.”
Xuan Kong, Xuan Qian, Xuan Wei and Xuan You bowed respectfully before they walked to the entrance.
The other heavenly guests were shocked.
Xuan Kong, Xuan Qian, Xuan Wei and your Xuan were probably the best fighters that might be on their side and now they had left!
The four rising priests were the elders of the Sacred Ascension Sect and they had great respect for the girl in the middle. They had been in the Heavenly Realm long enough to know that the Heavenly Supreme was not the Heavenly Gold that could be taken lightly even if it was injured. Moreover, some of the celestials here had sworn allegiance to the Holy Ascension Sect and the celestial clan who were not, were unwilling to make enemies of the Holy Ascension Sect.
Therefore, the twenty heavens immediately gathered their dead and walked away quietly!
The remaining thirty celestials were all hesitating and thinking about their next move.
Lele looked at them and she said coldly, “You did not come here with good intentions and definitely did not to attend our wedding. Why are you all still here? Are you trying to fight?”
Yunzi looked towards Celestial Alice as she said coldly, “They thought that since this Celestial Alice was left behind then they might have a chance to obtain this divine sword.”
Yunzi had expressed their thoughts and soon, some heavenly guests became confused.
Lie Qing said coldly as he pointed his holy sword towards them, “But it seems like they can't count correctly. If you want to snatch away our Heavenly Alice and holy sword, I am more than willing to fight with you. “
Stellar Heaven Fairy said coldly, “And me too!”
Youxue added coldly, “You can try me too. Maybe I'll really drink their blood and their heartbeats to further my achievements.”
He was joking of course but it was a real threat. The dark heavenly practitioners were forced to drink the blood of other heavenly practitioners to prolong their lives.
Normally, this Heavenly Gold underestimated half-heaven practitioners who had yet to reach their level. Their golden eyes marked them as a true celestial above many half-heaven practitioners who had red eyes. But today, they all smiled bitterly…
While they were still smiling awkwardly, Lele had reached out to Celestial Alice to pull her off the ground when she too, coughing up blood as she stepped back with a shocked look!
Lie Qing was surprised, “Lele, what happened?!”
Everyone was surprised too.
Lele coughed weakly as he immediately circulated his internal strength. He replied quickly, “I. When I tried to do so, my internal energy immediately turned on myself!”
Suddenly, everyone suddenly realized. That was the reason why the Immortal Saint of Swords brought down Alice Celestial! Given the sword training of the Immortal Saint of Swords, how could someone as tall as him be able to drop his own sword?!
That was the real reason why the Immortal Saint of Swords fighting move suddenly became awkward!
That's what he meant by, “Mustahil .. Why did you betray me ..”
And when the Immortal Sword Zelot Sage tried to take Celestial Alice, she also suffered internal injuries!
No wonder, the Immortal Saint of Swords and Immortal Sword Sage had left without taking Celestial Alice!
It was something impossible and out of the world even for everyone to understand!
The Universal Old Man also looked at the Heavenly Alice and tried to find out …
The Deadly Wanderer offers help, “If we can't pull the sword, then why don't we start by digging it first?”
Soon, there were some interesting murmurs among the visiting gods.
Even the Northern Tyrant nodded and stroked his long beard as a sign of approval.
He happily praised his brilliant idea when Yu’Er got up and stared coldly at the heaven guests in a not so amused manner. It was because judging from what Lele said and uniting it with what he saw earlier, he knew that Celestial Alice had tied herself to the ground with Universal Power. Even if they used this method, it was completely useless.
He said desperately as a powerful wave of evil air swept through the entire hall, “We need a moment of calm. Please go or I will not be polite anymore.”
The visiting celestials knew that he was serious.
Because they did not want to offend the Sacred Ascension Sect and they were not sure that they could defeat the Universal Old Man given their injuries and the smaller number now, he said, they reluctantly walked to the entrance.
The Deadly Wanderer is reluctant to leave. Before she leaves, she really has the courage to say, “Girl, if your groom dies, you can always look for me for comfort ..”
But he quickly covered his mouth when the cold gazes and cold demeanor of the girls made him fly as he hurriedly came out!
Lele had already raised his long scythe to attack him, but he was a step ahead of him!
It wasn't long before all the visiting celestials left the place, but Yi Ping's situation was still extremely critical!
Lele's voice raspy from crying, “How's it going?”
Yu’Er replied gently, “Not good. We could only hope to stabilize the six conflicting intrinsic energies within him, but while the six intrinsic energies remained within him, we were unable to treat his internal injuries ..”
Universal Old Man added as he gave Yi Ping a powerful boost of his martial power in his heart, “Not good. It's been a miracle that I was able to extend her heartbeat all this time ..”
Lele was very upset after hearing that he gave a kick to Celestial Alice, “Stupid Sword!” as he dropped a few tears onto the sword. He was about to give Celestial Alice a piece of his evil long scythe when he was shocked to see Yi Ping coughed loudly!
Suddenly, he suddenly got up and shocked everyone.
All girls crying loudly, “Ping’Er, Yi Ping, Master Yi Ping!”
But Yi Ping did not seem to hear them as he staggered to Celestial Alice who was next to him. As soon as he touched the metal hilt of Celestial Alice, the sword split into two different complicated black swords and there was a circle of rainbow light enveloping the two swords!
As Yi Ping grabbed onto Celestial Alice, he shouted loudly. Immediately, six conflicting sword energies from Ley's Negative Sword Energy were expelled from it in a spatial energy circle!
Yu’Er and Mei’Er immediately shouted, “Awas!” as they fended off the deadly sword energy with Lie Qing and Old Man Universal!
As Yi Ping fell to the ground again, he grasped the two swords as he muttered. “Antonim Heavenly Alice.. Synonyms Heavenly Alice.
