Chapter 896: Chapter 437: Battle Atop the Goddess Peak

“It’s a pity that these spirit fields are all newly-developed; they need spirit herbs to nourish them, or else the cycle would be even shorter.”

To better take care of the growth of the spirit herbs, Gongsun Zhonghong specifically sought out relevant texts to study, substantially increasing his knowledge about the cultivation of spirit herbs.

This time, when discussing spirit herbs with Lu Yun, he was quite talkative, showing great interest.

Lu Yun smiled faintly and then recalled that when he had stormed into places like the Purple Blood Sect in the Sky Cloud Region, he had transplanted some spirit herbs, not even overlooking the soil of the spirit fields.

His consciousness swept through his Cave Heaven, and sure enough, he quickly found some residual soil. He immediately transported it out and casually placed it inside a Sumi Ring, handing it over to Gongsun Zhonghong.

“What is this?” Gongsun Zhonghong took the Sumi Ring, a puzzled expression on his face.

Lu Yun said with a smile, “Previously, I transplanted some spirit herbs and was left with quite a bit of soil, so I’ll leave it to Senior Brother to handle.”

“Haha, Junior Brother, you actually have such nice things. Why didn’t you bring them out sooner?”

“I only just remembered.”

In the midst of their conversation, the two quickly arrived at Goddess Peak.

In the azure sky, the bright sunshine was sprinkled down, and a rushing waterfall hung from the highest point of Goddess Peak, refracting a dazzling rainbow that filled half the sky, decorating Goddess Peak as if it were the Immortal Realm.

In the center of Goddess Peak was a large martial arts platform, with all kinds of arrays and prohibitions laid out on it. Even a Saint would find it difficult to destroy it.

Only those strong in the World Master Realm could arrange such divine-like methods.

At this moment, on the martial arts platform, three streaks of light flashed, constantly clashing in combat.

Below the martial arts platform stood many figures, all of whom looked up with anticipation at the battle between the three people above.

“Even though Xiao Yun and Ye Xingchen are very strong together, able to defeat even a fourth stage Heavenly Human, Dugu Jue, who made a breakthrough in his cultivation three months ago and obtained a Seventh Grade Divine Power at the Instruction Hall, will undoubtedly defeat them in battle,” someone among the onlookers commented.

It seemed as if Xiao Yun heard the discussion from below; he reacted, his aura rising rapidly, transforming half the martial arts platform into a Sea of Fire to engulf Dugu Jue, intending to swallow him whole.

However, no matter how the Intense Brightness Flame struggled and spread, it always remained half a zhang away from Dugu Jue, unable to even touch the invisible barrier of Saber Intent.

“Order!”

With a command from Ye Xingchen, his hands quickly formed seals, and then a sinister pattern appeared above his head.

In the center of the pattern, a light from a star flickered, soon followed by rays of light from other stars igniting around it, quickly interconnecting.

The dazzling light of the stars pervaded the entire martial arts platform and then began cascading down from above.

This too was a Seventh Grade Divine Power, one that Ye Xingchen had obtained in a trial. Up to now, his mastery of it was very close to Perfection.

The pattern of stars rapidly enlarged, surprisingly transforming into giant stars that hurtled down.

“Bang!”

The massive momentum of the stars, falling one after another, brought Dugu Jue’s Saber Intent barrier to its breaking point, causing it to crack and begin collapsing.

Dugu Jue, however, remained expressionless, allowing it to crumble around him.

“Boom!”

The Divine Ability of the stars landed on the martial arts platform, creating a thunderous boom; Dugu Jue’s figure was submerged in the brilliant light of countless stars.

“This guy can’t possibly be defeated just like that!”

Off to the side, Xiao Yun furrowed his brows, intently searching for Dugu Jue’s presence.

Ye Xingchen, with both hands supporting the giant star ball, pushed his aura to the ultimate limit, his consciousness pervading all around, not daring to be careless.

“Seventh Grade Divine Power at Great Accomplishment, Ye Xingchen’s been hiding his strength quite well!”

The onlooking Nangong Rui and others all showed shocked expressions.

Zhang Zhongyuan was also surprised. His intention had been to give advice to the people of Cloud Peak to get closer to Lu Yun.

But now, it seemed that these individuals from the remote Small Worlds had impressive talents; they’d grasped Seventh Grade Divine Powers even in the Heavenly Human Realm, a starting point by no means inferior to those of the Official Disciples.

“Whoosh–”

At that moment, a flash of Saber Intent suddenly burst forth from the flames and the light of the stars, cleaving both the Sea of Fire and the giant star ball in two.

Simultaneously, Ye Xingchen’s expression shifted; his hands crossed, unleashing his Divine Power, and in an instant, dozens of star balls fell.

“Roar!”

The star balls, splitting like a fraction, quickly snapped in half.

Seeing danger, Ye Xingchen took the chance to dodge away.

In an instant, a streak of Saber Intent tore through the heavens, shattering everything before it, reducing the stars to nothingness.

Ye Xingchen instinctively looked at the direction where the Saber Intent had streaked by, and his heart raced with fear.

If he had been even a moment slower, he would surely have suffered severe injury.

“Indeed, this guy is utterly reckless when he fights,” observed Xiao Yun, noting the scene with a gravely serious expression.

“Bring out all your skills, otherwise you’ll have no chance,” said Dugu Jue, standing with his saber, his cultivation aura bursting forth explosively.

The powerful aura and Saber Intent filled the air.

Suddenly, the crowd below burst into chatter.

“Dugu Jue is too arrogant. Only Nangong Xue and Lu Yun could suppress him in the entire Cloud Peak,” someone said.

“Don’t forget about Uncle Yu!”

“Right, Uncle Yu is the true invincible one.”

Ye Xingchen glanced at Xiao Yun beside him and said with a wry smile, “You’ve seen it; I’ve already played my trump card, but it seems it won’t stop him.”

Xiao Yun, with a serious look on his face, said, “That Divine Power you just used, can you do it one more time? If you can just hold him back for two breaths, we might still have a chance to turn this around.”
