Free Web NovelChapter 468: Chapter 283: The World’s Prodigies Total One Dan; I Shall Monopolize Nine Dou
The full-power attack from the Celestial Dragon Elder Abbot’s Lifebound Buddha Treasure had been completely blocked by Lu Mingyuan.
This scene left the members of the Celestial Dragon Temple, who had been certain of their victory, completely stunned.
In fact, the Celestial Dragon Elder Abbot himself felt that he wasn’t at his best today.
He felt a slight hitch as he circulated his Buddha Power.
He could hardly be blamed.
The enhancements Lu Mingyuan was currently receiving from his Fate Grids were frankly terrifying.
In addition to his Martial Saint Fate Grid, he was also empowered by two other great Fate Grids: Dragon Robe and Phoenix Attitude, and Only I have the method.
Aside from the Great Nether Empress, who could fight him on even ground and even find her own power continuously increasing, anyone else who battled Lu Mingyuan for any length of time would find themselves caught in a strange cycle.
Their opponent grew stronger and stronger, while they grew weaker and weaker.
Just then, Lu Mingyuan brandished Yang Su, executing the seventh form of the Dragon Slaying Nineteen Forms.
Dense Thunder Patterns surfaced on the blade of Yang Su, radiating a dazzling white brilliance.
With his current Flesh Body, a mere Buddha Seal was nowhere near enough to suppress him.
[Entered a fierce battle and suppressed an Arhat, triggering the "True Martial" trait. Cultivation has risen dramatically, advancing to the Late Stage Celestial Human Realm.]
[Devoured Evil Qi to nourish a Magical Treasure, triggering the "Greedy Wolf" trait. The Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Artifact, Yang Su, has been promoted to a Ninth-Grade Innate Treasure.]
A vision of his Fate Grids’ progress increasing slightly appeared before Lu Mingyuan’s eyes.
Venerable Purple Fate Grid - Dragon Robe and Phoenix Attitude, Refinement Level increased to 40%.
Venerable Purple Fate Grid - Master of the Human World, Refinement Level increased to 30%.
Venerable Purple Life Chart (Dragon Robe and Phoenix Attitude): The dragon soars, the phoenix cries, a nature of celestial grace. A raised hand blots out the stars; a lone dark cloud travels on. The imperial road is long and winding; fret not that you have no confidants on the path ahead, for who under heaven will not know your name?
Venerable Purple Fate Grid (Master of the Human World): The stars in the heavens flee from my presence. Qisha slays karma, Greedy Wolf devours the sun, Pojun commands demons. Like a Demon Lord descending from the heavens, truly a Tai Sui God among mortals.
Refinement Level reached 40%. Unlocked Life Chart Trait: Dragon’s Soar (Middle Level).
Dragon’s Soar (Middle Level): Suppresses your enemies. When facing a Cultivator with higher Cultivation than your own, your strength is greatly increased.
Refinement Level reached 30%. Unlocked Life Chart Trait: Greedy Wolf (Middle Level).
Greedy Wolf (Middle Level): Devour Evil Qi to temper Divine Weapons and nourish the Flesh Body. Greatly increases the grade of Magical Treasures and bolsters your Cultivation.
Within a hundred-mile radius, invisible Evil Qi suddenly materialized and converged on Lu Mingyuan’s Yang Su. The number of Spiritual Runes on it, originally over nine thousand, surged past the ten-thousand mark.
A Ten Thousand Treasures Spiritual Artifact was so named because it contained ten thousand perfectly formed Spiritual Runes within it.
The more Spiritual Runes, the more Magical Essence Qi a Cultivator could infuse into it, and thus the greater the power of their unleashed Divine Techniques.
Spiritual Runes could be seen as a measure of the artifact’s Spiritual Qi utilization efficiency.
Now, however, Yang Su had broken through that limit.
By surpassing ten thousand, it had become an Innate Treasure, capable of unleashing far greater power than before!
In an instant, a pillar of Saber Qi shot toward the heavens, scattering the clouds. The resulting shockwaves spread for a thousand miles, shattering the seal created by the sacred Dharma Aspect.
Lu Mingyuan hovered in midair, Yang Su in hand. He let the blade hang low before raising it high, then strode through the void, riding a fierce gale as he unleashed a strike with all his might.
WHOOSH!
That single strike sent a piercing shriek into the heavens. High among the clouds, a colossal Celestial Saber coalesced from pure Saber Qi.
With a low HUM, it smashed down upon the Celestial Dragon Elder Abbot’s Dharma Aspect.
CLANG!
The Celestial Saber collided with the golden shield of light protecting the Dharma Aspect. The ground in a radius of dozens of yards exploded into fragments, the cracks spreading ever wider as the peaks of half the valley were sheared clean off.
CRACK!
Cracks began to snake across the Dharma Aspect that housed the Celestial Dragon Abbot.
Lu Mingyuan’s gaze was sharp, his arms filled with immense power. Primordial Qi surged from him like a torrent, and the Divine Fire Pattern between his brows flared to life.
The Celestial Saber pressed down further.
The Celestial Dragon Elder Abbot’s face grew even paler, and the Buddha’s Light surrounding him dimmed.
PING!
The Dharma Aspect shattered completely, dissipating in midair.
The Celestial Dragon Elder Abbot violently spat out a mouthful of blood!
He was clearly no match for Lu Mingyuan.
Slaying a Buddha with a single strike!
This world-shattering strike had severed the head and arms of the Dharma Aspect’s Buddha, cutting it down entirely!
With the Song Dynasty being the first to step forward, Cultivators from the other Six Kingdoms had begun to follow suit.
But upon seeing this, they all quickly pulled back the feet they had just put forward.
The smiles on many faces froze instantly.
Everyone’s expression turned to one of utter disbelief.
"The New Emperor of Great Yan’s Cultivation doesn’t seem as high as the Abbot’s, yet he defeated him in just a few moves. It’s... it’s unbelievable!"
"This era has gained another peerless Emperor who can command the very elements."
"Could he still be hiding his true strength?"
"Once you reach the Twelfth Realm, the smallest factor can lead to defeat. A difference in Realm is a critical disadvantage. How did Lu Mingyuan possibly defeat the Celestial Dragon Abbot?"
...
While the representatives from the Immortal Influences and the Cultivators of the Six Kingdoms were chattering in a flurry of discussion, the Third Prince, Song Dun, stared dumbfounded, his fists clenched.
"Impossible! How can this be possible!"
"In the Song Dynasty, the Celestial Dragon Elder Abbot is one of the top three supreme experts! Unless a Sword Immortal intervened, how could he possibly be defeated so easily?"
Echoing his disbelief were the Crown Prince of Great Sui, Cao Zongxi, as well as Li Muwan, Wuxun, Luo Lingxiao, Chu Longxiang, and others.
All of their gazes were fixed on Lu Mingyuan.
Just a moment ago, as Lu Mingyuan had struck, they had all clearly felt his Cultivation suddenly skyrocket.
How could someone who was only in the early stage of the Twelfth Realm defeat the Celestial Dragon Elder Abbot, a man who stood at the very peak of the Twelfth Realm?
