Chapter 2038: Invincible Fighter

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The dark, destructive storm of the Thunder of Catastrophe was still roaring in the sky, and the Lingxiao Pagoda was still engulfed in the terrifying tornado. Storm Demon stood in the Storm of Doomsday in midair and looked down upon Ling He. Bolts of black lightning struck around Ling He’s body as though they were mocking him.

Ling He raised his head to look at Storm Demon, extremely distressed and embarrassed. Ling He was the young master of the Lingxiao Palace and a prominent cultivator in the Donghua Heavens with a perfect Divine Wheel of the Great Path. But he had been losing over and over again ever since he met Ye Futian at the Divine Ocean Cliff. A Renhuang from the Desolate God Palace also defeated him in a fight that was issued from discordance and feud between his father, the Palace Lord of the Lingxiao Palace, and the Desolate God.

Unfortunately, he lost. Not only did his loss embarrass himself, but it also brought humiliation to his father, who was sitting in the Donghua Palace.

“Get off the platform. You are not a match for me,” Storm Demon said in a cold and domineering tone, which put Ling He to shame. Beams of frightening golden divine light shone from Ling He’s body. He wanted to keep going.

Storm Demon moved swiftly in the destructive storm. The Thunder of Catastrophe fell from the sky and merged with the Way of Wind. Storm Demon bathed in the destructive storm and transported again. He held the battle-ax with both hands and hacked from above as if he didn’t want to leave Ling He any chance to turn the table.

A ray of light of darkness became visible and almost split the sky in half. The battle-ax struck at Ling He with tremendous strength as soon as he brandished his golden spear. The destructive energy was extremely horrifying and made the earth tremble.

Fizz! Cracks appeared on the spear. Ling He was flung away even further, spraying blood from his mouth.

“How tragic…”

The cultivators watching from below felt sorry for Ling He. Ling He was the young master of the Lingxiao Palace, a well-known cultivator in the Donghua Heavens, a disciple of the Donghua Academy, and a Renhuang with a perfect Divine Wheel of the Great Path. At this moment, however, he was brought to his knees by Storm Demon.

The Palace Lord of the Lingxiao Palace sitting in the Donghua Palace was staring at Storm Demon with a grim expression. Everyone could tell the anger on his face and sense the dark energy emanated from his body, but the Desolate God couldn’t care less. He also watched the battlefield below and commented casually, “Not bad. He can withstand Storm Demon’s battle-ax.”

Speechless, the top cultivators all shot a strange look at the Desolate God who did not attempt to save face for the Palace Lord of the Lingxiao Palace at all.

The Palace Lord of the Ling Xiao Palace didn’t respond. He was at a loss for words. It was a fair fight, and he couldn’t complain about the result. Ling He was humiliated like this only because he was less capable. What else could he say?

Awkward silence reigned at this moment. Other than the first two fights, this was the fiercest and the most hostile match so far. It was tied up with two of the magnates sitting in the Donghua Palace. Instead of fighting each other themselves, they sent their protégés.

Even so, both the Renhuangs in the Nine Heavens and the ordinary audience below were secretly excited by the fights. These were real Law Battles in which top cultivators were matched against each other and exerted their strength to the utmost. Ning Hua and Desolation, Storm Demon and Ling He. Both the Renhuangs and the ordinary audience wondered who else would step up.

The storm dissipated on the Law Battle Platform, and the destructive energy of the Great Path also disappeared. Ling He walked off the platform, despondent and low-spirited. While walking back, he could feel that countless pairs of eyes were staring at him. It was not easy to endure even for a Renhuang like him with exceptional mental strength.

What he experienced just now was not an ordinary sparring session but a battle of humiliation!

Nevertheless, Storm Demon didn’t leave the Law Battle Platform. People were surprised to see him still hovering above the Platform. Did he want to have another fight?

Sure enough, Storm Demon raised his head and looked in the direction of the seats of the cultivators from Wangshen Watchtower. He said, “I would like to see what the Sword Emperor Liunian is capable of. Please grant me the honor.”

Ye Futian!

All the eyes were fixed on Ye Futian in an instant. It was him again. And it was Storm Demon who just vanquished Ling He challenging him this time.

However, as powerful as Storm Demon was, he was probably a lesser cultivator than Chen Yi.

Chen Yi was already a legend 20 years ago and excelled at the Sword of Light. His speed and power left a lasting impression on people’s minds.

Therefore, Storm Demon would certainly lose to Ye Futian. But the fabled Sword Emperor Liunian had become a mountain that everyone was eager to conquer. That was why Storm Demon still wanted to challenge Ye Futian to further prove himself after defeating Ling He.

He challenged Ye Futian, knowing that he would lose. It was a battle of path seeking, while the result was secondary. Storm Demon knew himself that a victory was not very likely. A cultivator at his level surely could tell how powerful Ye Futian was.

Ye Futian stood up with a calm expression. At such an event, it was beyond question that someone would challenge him sooner or later. He was well prepared from the beginning. Although it was hard for him to meet his match, he could use the opportunity to test the abilities of the talented cultivators from various top forces.

He stepped forward and walked into the Law Battle Area again. Looking at Storm Demon in front of him, he said, “Please.”

“Please.” Storm Demon’s face was stern. He was not as arrogant and contemptuous as he was when facing Ling He. It was obvious that he also knew how strong his current opponent was. Ye Futian’s Divine Wheel of the Great Path surpassed geniuses like Desolation and Jiang Yueli. No one in the Donghua Domain other than Ning Hua was in the same league as Ye Futian in terms of the Divine Wheel of the Great Path.

Moreover, Ye Futian cultivated several types of power of the Great Path and possessed multiple Divine Wheels, each of which reached perfection.

Storm Demon was also at the Donghua Academy when Ye Futian showed off two fifth-order Divine Wheels. Ye Futian still had other Divine Wheels that were not revealed to the public. Those might be even stronger, possibly at the sixth order.

Thus, Storm Demon was well aware of Ye Futian’s ability.

“Please,” said Ye Futian. The destructive storm gathered in the sky above him. The entire Great Path domain turned dark and desolate as rays of light of destruction fell from above.

The cold moon hanging in the sky kept expanding. Ye Futian moved along with the moon. All of a sudden, a strange phenomenon occurred. The moonbeams froze the area and released frightening power of destruction, which destroyed everything that attempted to attack Ye Futian.

“The power of Yin.” Storm Demon looked at Ye Futian with a solemn face. The endless light of catastrophe fell on Storm Demon as the world was being transformed into a vast desert. Storm Demon’s already burly body kept growing and transfigured him into the Desolate God of War. Glowing with the light of destruction, a black battle-ax slowly descended from the destructive storm in the sky.

Storm Demon reached out his hand and grabbed the ax. The ravaging light of catastrophe rolled out at the moment. Storm Demon bathed in it as if he was gathering the energy, poised to attack.

Ye Futian certainly understood Storm Demon’s intention of making a decisive blow.

It would be Storm Demon’s most powerful strike.

Ye Futian could clearly feel the devastating energy of the attacks coming from above. The cultivators of the Desolate God Palace came from the Badlands Continent. Their specialties were somewhat similar.

The moonbeams swept across the area and transformed into streaks of icy Sword Qi. They circled Ye Futian’s body and turned into frightening Shadow Sword. Endless Sword Will flowed around and made shrill whistles that reverberated throughout the area.

Finally, the destructive storm fell from the sky in a frenzy. Storm Demon held the battle-ax and chopped downward. The gleam of the ax almost split the sky open.

Even the audience could feel the frightening power contained in the ax.

The ax moved at lightning speed at first, yet it seemed to slow down when it approached Ye Futian. Then, the crowd saw a frosty sword coming into collision with the ax in midair.

It didn’t look so terrifying when the sword and the ax met head-on. It almost seemed like two lines converged before one of them was annihilated by the other one. Under everyone’s watch, the black line drew by the ax retreated and eventually wiped out by the other line.

With a ray of extremely dazzling light, the sky split open, and the dark world was destroyed. Storm Demon’s body was flung upward, and the dark, destructive storm was neutralized.

“As expected.” The audience was more amazed than surprised by the scene. No one, including Storm Demon, could beat Ye Futian. Ye Futian was a legendary fighter who came out of nowhere.

The Sword Emperor Liunian remained undefeatable and invincible.

High up in the air, Storm Demon recollected himself and looked at Ye Futian, said, “Thank you for the lesson.”

Then, he walked off the Law Battle Platform without much disappointment. The result was not beyond his expectation.

Ling He watched the match with a cold face. Storm Demon, who vanquished and humiliated him just now, lost to Ye Futian. This kind of comparison made him feel bitterer.

He was a celebrity from the Lingxiao Palace yet was not on an equal footing with Ye Futian.

A voice rang out just when Ye Futian was about to leave the Law Battle Platform as well, “Please wait for a moment, Renhuang Ye.”

The voice attracted everyone’s attention. They all looked in the direction of the voice and saw a ravishing woman walking out. It was Goddess Taihua.

Goddess Taihua gazed at Ye Futian in the Law Battle Platform and said, “I wonder if you can give me a chance to play a song for you?”
