The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episodes 195. Small Natural Changes

It cannot be killed, it does not mean it cannot be defeated! Gofan didn't want to let go of the man who had robbed him... Either way, he had to regain his Dimensional Ring. Combat intent gushed in Gofan's two eyes, as he swung the Twin Dragon Golden Sticks that blazed with greenish-red flames.

“Devil's eyes!.”

“Fire Blow of the Devil Conqueror!.”

Dong! Two golden sticks clashed against each other. Both Gofan and Slime, both use the same style. The two were both struck back six steps, before darting forward to exchange attacks again.

Gofan slammed hard the golden stick towards Slime, the same thing Slime did. Gofan uses a claw style, Slime also uses the same style. Gofan struck out with the Nine Curses of Heaven's Fist... Bang out!! Slime also used the same fist... Bang out!! Both of them took the same step back.

Whatever style Gofan uses, Slime can always be used. All of Gofan's movements are duplicated very similarly. Gofan retreated, Slime advanced. Gofan goes forward, Slime goes back. Gofan dodged to the right, Slime hit from the right, Gofan hit from the right, Slime dodged to the left.

In the end after passing hundreds of exchanges, Gofan battered. Slime is fine.

Although this was not the first time for Gofan to fight against a person who looked exactly like him, but this was the first time he felt that the Slime in front of him was no one else... but it was really himself. Fighting against Slime made Gofan feel like he was looking in the mirror.

One day...

Two days...

Three days...

Three days and two nights, the fight is not over. Gofan was already getting battered and exhausted, but the Slime in front of him looked fine. Although Slime also imitated Gofan's grimacing facial features withstanding pain and fatigue, but without the wounds and sweat on his body, it was more impressed like he was insulting Gofan.

“This creature imitates anything I can afford, even like he can guess what I'm going to do next... As I was thinking of retreating, he came forward and attacked.. When I attacked, he could always dodge and hit back... What exactly is wrong?.” Gofan gasped for breath as his eyes looked puzzledly towards Slime. He had already tried many ways, but it seemed, Slime could always guess his pace.

If likened, at this time, Gofan's situation more like he was dancing in front of a mirror. Whatever dance he did, the reflection in the mirror would be able to imitate him, exactly the same without any difference.

**

A week later, Gofan gave up and the Slime returned to its original form, invisible to the eye. With a bent face, Gofan sat annoyed inside the cave. Although he could no longer see the Slime herd, he could feel them all around him.

Gofan sat quietly restoring his strength, once in a while, he would activate the Divine Eye to observe the Slime, just observing and not doing the fight. Even though sometimes the bright blue Slime will show a form like her and seem to want to challenge her to fight, Gofan ignored her.

Time passed by, like a stream of river water that could not turn around, continued forward and changed. Day after day Gofan used to study and observe the Slime herd. From that observation, Gofan found that the Slime herd had a kind of secret underground base behind the cave walls.

During the observation, Gofan saw Slime coming in and out of the cave walls. They came out to take a offering from the Chief and then brought it into the cave. In front of the dead-end cave walls, they changed into water-like shapes and seeped into a narrow crack in the wall and disappeared into it.

“This gap is only as wide as two hairs... I won't be able to enter it... So...” Using all his inner strength, Gofan punched the dead-end wall, hoping to make the narrow gap widen and then open the way to the Slime's secret headquarters.

But.. “This wall!!? He seemed to absorb every single blow Energy I unleashed. It cannot be destroyed.. Damnit damnit!! My Lens Ring is in there, too. How do I sign in?.”

Time has passed again. Now, in addition to observing and studying the Slime, Gofan would occasionally try to hit a dead-end wall, trying to tear it down, even though the end was the same. The wall was as solid as before.

One day changed by one week. One week changed one month, one month changed one year, and for a whole year, Gofan was still doing the same thing, he continued to observe and study Slime. Although he had not found a way to defeat Slime, but thanks to his efforts, the power of the Divine Eye was getting easier to use. Now, even without the help of the Mental Saint, Gofan could activate the Divine Eye.

It could be because I'm used to it, maybe that's what happened to him. Being used to using the Divine Eye to observe the Slime herd, Gofan became able to easily activate it, just by his will, the Divine Eye would open like an ordinary eye opening.

***

While Gofan was still immersed in his observations of the Slime herd, time continued to pass. Without feeling it, decades have passed. In total, from the time Gofan left the Little Realm, it has been going on for 27 years. One thing Gofan had not known was that during those 27 years, time had spun 10 times in the Little Realm. Since Gofan disappeared and was declared dead, 270 years have passed.

In the first hundred years, the Dark Gods managed to gather all, the nine Philosopher's Stones. Thanks to that, he had managed to reach the Saint God realm. He became the strongest ruler in the Little Realm, especially the Continent of the Penda.

The Dark God announced his name as Gumulryong and from then on he formed the Dark World Alliance. During the time of the formation of the Alliance, war raged throughout the Little Realm. Gumulryong led his army and invaded the other Continents. The two colleges of pure blood, the Grey Cult, the Blue Wolf Bandit, and the various other Universities he had managed to conquer, were merged into the Dark World Alliance.

“OPEN!.” Shouted Gumulryong as he exerted all the power of the Death Stone to open a huge gap between the Little Realm and the Realm of Death aka Hell.

“Hahaha! I came... Night God.. King of Hell, it's time to go back... Come back and talk to me... Then we destroy that Celestial Emperor!! ATTACK!.”

Millions of Dark World Alliance warriors were mobilized into the Death Realm, fighting and ravaging Hell. Leaving not a single member of that Alliance in the Little Realm, all were lost within the huge gap towards Hell.

Decades after the departure of Gumulryong and the Dark World Alliance. Lixiayo and the white skull breed managed to establish their existence in the Kingdom of Penda. With the help of Gennai Dadoros, power eventually fell to Tuogui. In the end, most of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Penda had been transformed into white skull demons, of which almost all the inhabitants of the Kingdom were, now, no longer human. Tuogui proclaimed the establishment of the White Bone Kingdom and dubbed himself 'The White Lord'.

Similar events also occur in other parts of the land. The next few tens of years, the Demon Empire finally managed to break out completely from the demon dimension and rule a portion of the Penda Continent. The Tian family home was annihilated and the Halimun Land became the center of the Demon New Empire.

After the disappearance of the Dark World Alliance, many other new kingdoms, colleges, as well as alliances appeared in all the Continents, in the Little Realm. Especially in the past ten years, when nine dimensional portal holes appeared randomly throughout the entire Little Realm.

Those nine dimensional portal holes let out the fluctuations of the Heaven Aura that made the Little Realm uproar. Many Kingdoms, Universities, Parties and Alliances formed to seize and control one of the nine dimensional portal pits.

“Ten years ago, a middle-aged swordsman found the hole and went into it, then found a large river composed of the rocks of the big stars, flickering in a vast void... I'm sure it must be the Bintang Kebampa River, the road leading to the Great Realm.” A young man with a red line on his forehead spoke with great enthusiasm.

“Hexuan. Is your brain still injured after the invasion of the Dark World Alliance? The news has long been spread, do you think we do not know?.” reply a girl in a white dress.

“You!.” The young man's annoyed speech, while feeling the red line on his forehead, was a scar that almost took his life.

“Hexuan.. Bailaohu..” A middle-aged man emerged from the void, like it had long since observed from there and appeared to stop the debate of the two.

Currently, in a room within the New Demon Empire, five people gathered to discuss preparations for mastering one of the nine dimensional portal holes. The young man with a red line on his forehead was Hexuan and the girl in white dress was Bailaohu, while the middle-aged man who had just appeared was Bianselong. After the battle on Fire Island, he was appointed as the Supreme Adviser of the New Demon Empire.

“Greetings Supreme Counselor..”

“Greetings Supreme Counselor..”

Bianselong nodded and waved his hand as a piece of map appeared before the other four.

“From the nine portals to the Great Realm, the White Bone Kingdom has taken control of one of them, the other five have been overrun by the new Alliance in the other five Continents. Only these three are left..” point Bianselong towards the three points in the map, “... We must successfully master this one..”.

“This!??..”

“True. This was the portal point that appeared on the Island of Fire... Currently there was no Alliance or Kingdom that dared to try to master it. A Snow Dragon Demon, appeared and guarded the portal... The Emperor has already ordered, the five of us will go to Fire Island and try our best to seize the portal from that Snow Dragon Demon.”

Thus, the nine points of emergence of the dimensional portal had become a kind of sacred ground for the inhabitants of the Little Realm. The battle took place to seize and control the portal, because by using the portal, the hope of reaching the Great Realm was wide open. Moreover, by cultivating near the portal pit, the chance of reaching Saint God realm was no longer a dream.

***

At the same time as the appearance of the nine dimensional portal holes, three middle-aged men from the Seasonal Profound Sect, flew flying scattered, above the Nine Star Sea. All three, sitting floated up in a triangular formation. Inside that triangular formation, a gigantic black hole appeared. That black hole was the source of the nine dimensional portal holes that connected the Little Realm and the nine Rivers of the Exposure Star.

“Buy... Deliver to the three Holy Clans to prepare for the opening of the reception of new disciples.” Said one of the middle-aged men to a girl with green scales coiled around her neck. That girl, Jiang Buyi who previously saved Gofan.

“Good Ancestor... But...”

“Take this..” The middle-aged man threw a bright blue jade stone at Jiang Buyi, “... If there is another Song Clan trying to disturb you, use that command medal to eradicate them.”.

A smile appeared on Jiang Buyi's beautiful lips. He clenched both hands then bowed respectfully, “Thank you Ancestor... Students will do their best for the sake of the Season Deepening Alliance.”

Ever since he killed Song Hongtian, Jiang Buyi had always been chased by Song Clan cultivators, and that made him feel a headache. With that command medallion, he felt that the headache had disappeared. The Song Clan could no longer possibly bother him just for the sake of Song Hongtian's death, they would not dare to go against the command medallion of the Season Profound Alliance.

*Zyuut*Jiang Buyi darted away towards the Second Sky Realm, heading to the three Little Heavenly Land Holy Clans.

Seriate...
