Chapter 717: The Saber That Won The World

Zhong Yue’s mind went blank for a second and he thought, Since when did my body became this strong?

It was not just strong, strong was already not a suitable term to describe his body; it was unreasonably freaky!

He could clearly feel that relentless and unstoppable power flowing through his skin, veins, bones, and every internal organ.

It felt like his body had been reforged and refined to at least two times stronger than the state he was when he left!

And this surge in his body power was just too terrifying!

Just how unreasonable this was?

For instance, it would be great if Zhong Yue managed to increase his power by two to twenty percent each time he improved and the occurrence of power surge by a few times only happened when he cultivated the Innate Yuan Shen.

Now, his body’s strength had increased by three times!

But of course, this did not mean that his overall strength increased by three times; it was only his body that experienced the sudden hike in power, and the fleshly body only accounted for a portion of one’s overall strength.

The majority of Qi Practitioners attacked through skills, meaning that their mortal bodies were rarely used. Thus, barely anyone walked on the path of fighting with raw body power.

However, this surge in body power was still strong enough to enhanced the combat power of Zhong Yue by an incredible level!

I’ve only left for two hours….

Zhong Yue was speechless and he couldn’t help but wonder just what Xin Huo did in these two hours to achieve such a result!

“Brat Yue, why did you come back so early?”

At this point, Xin Huo was battling with the Pure Yang Lei Zhe’s dragon god. The skills that Zhong Yue cultivated had an added level of deadliness in Xin Huo hands as the Yang lines and Yin lines spread all over the skies. The weaknesses of the Pure Yang Lei Zhe’s dragon god were found and as the saber was swung, the dragon god was beheaded cleanly and swiftly.

“I thought you would only come back after I fought all the way into the seventy-ninth level! What nice timing! I’ll return your body now!”

The little flame then handed over control of the body back to Zhong Yue and he gave some advice, “I’ve sort of refined your body by a little bit and that’s all I can do for you. It’s up to you now whether or not you can sleep with an innate goddess and give birth to a little Fuxi!”

Zhong Yue was left speechless but he had to admit that Xin Huo was undoubtedly strong in a way; in just a short time, he managed to achieve something Zhong Yue could only achieve after using years and years of time

“Forty-eight levels… This is more than enough, there is no need to continue.”

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes and when he was about to get down from the skies, a huge dimensional crack appeared from nowhere and Queen Shi Ji came out from the crack shouting, “Zhong Yue, the king asked why did you stop and not continue your tribulations?”

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped right away and when he looked towards the Heaven Court within the Wei Shen Six Paths World, he saw Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan sitting on his throne and looking at him with a stare that seemed to hold a galaxy.

This is bad!

Zhong Yue maintained a poker face and he nervously thought, The Realm Monarch is suspicious of me now. He is suspecting me of sneaking into Hell to hijack the prison! King Geng once told me that the Realm Monarch is a smart and sly one and it seems that he was right! While he watched me tribulating through the levels, he sent men into Hell to investigate this matter! If I failed to overcome the 48th level Pure Yang Lei Zhe or unable to perform like how Xin Huo performed, my plan will be exposed!

But who was Xin Huo?

With Zhong Yue’s body in his hands, Xin Xuo had shown outstanding power, and not only did he possess knowledge far inferior to Xin Huo’s, but Zhong Yue also had no idea of how terrifying the 48th level Pure Yang Lei Zhe was.

And this was the purpose of Realm Monarch Helian Yun Shen asking Zhong Yue to continue the tribulations; he wanted to see how Zhong Yue performed as compared to what Xin Huo did and if Zhong Yue performed worse than before, then things would turn sour for him in an instant!

Zhong Yue took in a deep breath and as he bowed, he said, “I’m afraid that after the previous lengthy lightning tribulations, I might not be able to continue.”

Queen Shi Ji on the other hand, coldly denied him and she insisted, “The monarch’s wish is for you to continue one more level. If you succeed, you may rest. and if you fail, you might as well just die in the lightning tribulation.”

Zhong Yue turned around and when he looked at the Realm Monarch again, an emotionless and expressionless Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan entered his sights. His heart sank as he knew the Realm Monarch had grown even more suspicious of him and that if he tried to excuse himself again, he would be in deep trouble.

“Brat Yue, how about letting me do it one more time?” asked Xin Huo secretly.

Though Xin Huo’s psyche wavered into Zhong Yue’s mind for a split second, no one was able to realize the abnormal wavering psyche as it was covered by the Pure Yang Lei Zhe’s noise and power.

“No.” replied Zhong Yue as he walked towards the forty-ninth level Pure Yang Lei Zhe, “If you do it again, Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan will definitely realize something and since he is suspicious of me for infiltrating and rescuing King Geng through some unknown techniques, I have no other option but to do it myself!”

His power then burned fiercely as his energy surged out around him; when the energy of his Yuan Shen, body and soul reached the peak, the Dao totem patterns flew out of the light wheels behind his head and turned into a dragon.

He then ascended into the forty-ninth level Pure Yang Lei Zhe where every single object in this level was made of Pure Yang techniques.

These techniques turned into various abnormal phenomenal and each of them contained horrifying power, which Zhong Yue experienced before already but this time, it was even stronger than before!

And among the countless dangerous powers, the Pure Yang Lei Zhe’s dragon god coiled around with its head high up and eyes closed as if it was resting.

This dragon god was the heaven and earth brandings of the Innate Lei Zhe Celestial Dragon and it had Pure Yang body that was wild and powerful as if it came from the ancient wilderness.

On the other hand, Zhong Yue stopped moving before the entrance of this Lei Zhe level and he started to trigger the Pure Yang lightning tribulation, only to anger Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan. The Realm Monarch let out a cold humph which pressured the many people around and the many people observing Zhong Yue got tensed up as they did not know why the Realm Monarch was unhappy.

Zhong Yue, however, ignored everything and he did not enter the Lei Zhe but started stretching outside of it; from seconds to seconds, he threw out a punch or a palm strike or stretched his waist.

His speed gotten quicker and quicker and his body started cracking; he twisted around quickly and he started flicking his fingers.

Those people around him were all stunned and the Realm Monarch got even more unhappy as he saw what Zhong Yue did.

“Mother, what is he doing?” asked Shi Yinji quietly.

Queen Shi ji frowned as well and she replied, “I don’t know. He might be taking a quick rest as he is probably tired after overcoming 48 Pure Yang Lei Zhe in a single breath.”

In truth, Zhong Yue was just trying to get used to the newly acquired power of his body. After finally acclimating, he charged right into the Lei Zhe.

As he moved, the entire Pure Yang Lei Zhe trembled vigorously as the techniques in it immediately got activated and the exploded power blasted right towards Zhong Yue immediately!

The scene was incredibly marvelous as it was just as if the entire world was being hostile towards Zhong Yue; the grass, trees, sun, moon, cloud and the animals within the Pure Yang Lei Zhe all turned into horredous power. This scene greatly shook the observers for they were not sure if they could even last a few seconds of such a powerful attack.

Zhong Yue let out a screech and suddenly, his energy condensed into a point and a loud and endless saber aura rose up as a huge saber sliced through the endless attacks from the Pure Yang Lei Zhe before heading towards the Pure Yang Lei Zhe’s dragon god!

Nothing succeeded in stopping the saber and as the saber traveled towards its destination, everything was sliced into half!

When the saber reached the front of the celestial dragon, the dragon opened its eyes and powerful Pure Yang Qi erupted and majestic draconic aura shook the heavens and trembled the earth!

With its claws raised and its roar rumbling through the skies, the celestial dragon charged towards the saber without hesitation!

All in a sudden, the saber split into two and the saber presence disappeared, leaving behind only one black and one white light twriling around each other before slamming into the draconic claws of the dragon.

Zhong Yue then leaped down from the Lei Zhe and started descending quickly before he slammed into the ground and asked, “Your Highness, may I take my rest now?”

As soon as he landed on the ground, a loud and terrifying explosion came from the forty-ninth level Pure Yang Lei Zhe before countless saber Qi swarmed out from the body of the celestial dragon and tore it into pieces!

And after a tremble, the forty-ninth level Pure Yang Lei Zhe dispersed and vanished without a trace.

Then came two divine sabers from the dispersed thunder and lighting, which turned into two meteor lights that descended straight down from the skies and landed on Zhong Yue’s back.

Totem carvings danced around Zhong Yue and they turned into two draconic claws that clung onto the two divine sabers. At the same time, he bowed and greeted Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan.

Realm Monarch Helian Yunshan looked at Zhong Yue and his voice came from the outer skies with a nod, “Your saber truly triumphs over your peers, you are indeed marvelous, Zhong Yue.”

The Realm Monarch then stood up as the dimensional crack closed behind him.

“The saber that won the world, the Divine Saber Zhong Yue, to be able to cultivate saber techniques to such level, you are the first one.”

Queen Shi Ji looked at Zhong Yue and when she smiled, she said, “Your sabers are really sharp but be careful not to hurt yourself.”

“What do you mean?” asked Zhong Yue in surprised.

Queen Shi Ji then said, “They said you are very close to the traitor Chang Geng and the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud are under your command. You must be very cautious about having them under you.”

Zhong Yue however, did not falter and replied, “I see. I suppose you are thinking too much, queen. My sabers are sharp but at the same time, the back of my sabers are heavy enough to prevent me from hurting myself. Also, I am a small one with little power, I know what to do clearly.”

With a giggle, Queen Shi Ji laughed and said, “Don’t be so negative. The Realm Monarch is obviously impressed by your capabilities and perhaps, you and I will become colleagues in the Heaven Court.”

After saying this, she flew away before she said again, “I am the left hand of the Realm Monarch and it will depend on yourself if you want to become his right hand.”

At the back of Queen Shi Ji, Zhong Yue frowned right away.

Left and right hand? Are you really so proud of yourself?

This is all Xin Huo’s fault for charging right into the 48 levels in one shot.

His pace suddenly became unstable and the nervous Zhong Yue immediately returned back to his place before his presence shrunk and he lost his balance.

Just now, the [Dao Crusher] he performed that slew the Pure Yang Lei Zhe’s dragon god was not because his saber techniques that surpassed Xin Huo but he poured all of his energy into the [Dao Crusher] without holding back!

And when he greeted the Realm Monarch and talked to Queen Shi Ji, he was doing his utmost to not collapse on the ground from exhaustion.

Thank god I managed to pull myself out from this situation. Now, it would be more than just difficult for the Realm Monarch to find out this was all my doing.

At the same time, the men sent to suppress the chaos in Hell had returned and reported back to the Realm Monarch, “My lord, the traitor Chang Geng has been rescued by the rebels and we failed to locate him.

The Realm Monarch kept quiet and after a moment, he ordered, “Summon the seventeenth prince, Prince Helian Tianzheng back to the Heaven Court.”
