Chapter 790: Heavenly Moon Saber Technique

Chapter 790: Heavenly Moon Saber Technique

Cui Hao had no time to draw his saber to block. However, he did not panic. The floating disk above his head gave off a bright light, laying down a barrier of moonlight.

The Lunar Shadow Saber hacked on the barrier, and electric light burst forth, immediately chopping the barrier in half.

Cui Hao took this opportunity to retreat a hundred meters, dodging this attack. When the moonlight barrier shattered entirely, he gripped his saber and charged forward.

He used the Secret Treasure above his head to retreat and advance, exquisitely breaking this hard-to-deal-with Drawing the Saber. Despite moving later, he took the initiative.

Xiao Chen performed a backhand swing, blocking Cui Hao’s saber with the Lunar Shadow Saber.

“Boom!”

A starry sky appeared behind Cui Hao, and a vast moon rose, sending down boundless radiance.

Purple lightning bolts behind Xiao Chen turned into savage pythons. Scales covered these pythons, and their eyes were like lightning. They were like living creatures howling in the air.

The two mysterious phenomena supported their respective Saber Techniques. When the sabers clashed, they produced a horrifying report. The vast drill ground shook intensely.

“Senior Brother used the Moonlight Disk at the very start. He also used the Heavenly Moon Saber Technique. He is treating Xiao Chen as a true opponent.”

“Lightning took form and materialized ferocious pythons. This Xiao Chen is indeed impressive. I have only seen such a level of mysterious phenomenon from cultivators of the older generation.”

The disciples in the Heavenly Battle Palace that rushed over stopped in the air. Their expressions were all extraordinarily grave. For their Senior Brother Cui to have to take such measures, if he lost, then it really proved that they were completely obsolete in this age of geniuses.

A new generation of people would replace the old; the waves behind drove on those before. No one would be satisfied at being the first wave crashing into the sand and dying off.

The battle in the drill ground grew increasingly intense. Cui Hao’s Moonlight Disk gave Xiao Chen a big headache.

Xiao Chen’s lightning pythons already gained spirituality. With a thought from him, they could automatically chase after his opponent, giving his opponent a lot of difficulties.

However, as long as the lightning pythons made any strange moves, the disk would absorb the vast moonlight behind Cui Hao and send out a beam of light, shattering the lightning pythons into arcs of electric light.

Xiao Chen did not realize that Cui Hao faced a similar headache.

Cui Hao’s Moonlight Disk could be used for offense or defense. It could keep his opponent busy while he gathered the energy of the heavenly moon. Even if his opponent was a regular Inferior Grade Martial Sage, he would not have anything to fear when he relied on this Secret Treasure.

However, before Xiao Chen’s Saber Technique, it lost its effectiveness. It could only be used to defend against the endless numbers of lightning pythons.

As the two’s figures flashed around, the two sabers clashed in the air and sent sparks flying.

Sparks shot out, and the moonlight illuminated the drill ground like it was snow. The atmosphere looked very grand.

“Heavenly Moon Chop!”

Suddenly, Cui Hao roared and executed a killing move of the Heavenly Moon Saber Technique. The bright moon behind him suddenly waned, and his saber gave off a bright light. It formed a crescent-moon-shaped saber Qi three hundred meters tall chopping down on Xiao Chen.

“Earthly Lightning Tribulation!”

Xiao Chen dealt with the attack as it came, executing a killing move of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique without hesitating.

The hundred savage pythons merged into one, and the purple talisman in his sea of consciousness spun gently, infusing the immortal will of thunder into the lightning python.

“Boom!”

The python formed by the lightning tribulation and the three-hundred-meter-tall, crescent-moon-shaped saber Qi clashed with a loud report. Unexpectedly, cracks appeared in the tough floor.

This Saber Technique contains the might of a will. Can this mere Earth Ranked Saber Technique counter my Heavenly Moon Saber Technique?

A strange light flashed in Cui Hao’s eyes. He finally realized that something was off with his opponent’s Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique.

The dim moon behind Cui Hao started to glow brightly again. His expression turned grim. At this moment, he could no longer retreat; he could only fight on.

“Flawless Falling Moon!”

Cui Hao held his saber with two hands and raised it above his head before ferociously chopping down. His figure quickly soared towards the rear. Unexpectedly, this attack allowed him to retreat.

Furthermore, the rate of Cui Hao’s retreat was incredibly fast. Soon, he had flown to the sky and seemed to enter the round moon.

Xiao Chen was startled as he watched the bright moon enlarge. He suddenly understood that it was not that Cui Hao retreated quickly but that his attack pulled down the bright moon in the sky.

Flawless Falling Moon…it turned out that this vast moon really fell.

This move had a similar effect to the Moon Bright Like Fire that Xiao Chen comprehended but used a different means. This Flawless Falling Moon was of a far higher level, its might far beyond that of Moon Bright Like Fire.

The moon looked like it would arrive soon. If it struck Xiao Chen, the consequences would be dire. Without much time to think, the purple talisman in his sea of consciousness spun wildly.

The light of the immortal will of thunder turned into a bolt of heavenly lightning rushing out of Xiao Chen’s head. He pointed his saber to the sky, and his saber light instantly became extremely refulgent.

“Heavenly Lightning Tribulation!” Xiao Chen shouted.

The heavenly lightning formed by his will turned into a ferocious python. The remnant electricity in the surroundings gathered into it. The python roared, and a small horn appeared on its head.

After that, four legs grew out, and the purple scales on it started glittering with a faint golden light. The heavenly lightning turned from a python into a flood dragon.

The lightning flood dragon roared, and together with the light of the immortal will of lightning, it turned into a lightning tribulation. Roaring ferociously, it charged at that full moon.

“Boom!”

The lightning flood dragon crashed into the full moon in the air. The explosion was so resounding that people trembled. The vast moon shattered immediately.

The lightning flood dragon shrank significantly. However, its spirituality remained, and its might did not diminish much.

When the lightning flood dragon roared, Cui Hao, who was behind that vast moon, crashed into the ground like a fired cannonball.

“Bang!”

A large crater instantly appeared on the drill ground. When the dust scattered, a weak light from the Moonlight Disk shone before everyone.

Coughing came from the deep pit. Cui Hao leaped out of the pit to stand on the drill ground again, this time with a charred face.

At this moment, Cui Hao’s clothes were tattered, and blood leaked out of his mouth. His hair was messy, and he looked frail.

Cui Hao stared, watching Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. He felt somewhat dissatisfied but still managed to spit some words with difficulty. “I admit defeat. The Heaven Series training room is yours.”

“You went easy on me!”

In this cleanly fought battle, Cui Hao’s loss was clear. When he saw that Xiao Chen had comprehended a will and his own killing move was inferior, he decisively admitted defeat.

Xiao Chen did not make things difficult for this person. Cui Hao was someone who kept his word. After he lost, he gave up the Heaven Series training room.

The previous true disciples who were watching in the air all felt very sad, and it showed in their eyes. Cui Hao was already the strongest among them, yet he was still not a match for Xiao Chen.

The world had changed. The changes of this age, the most glorious stage, no longer had anything to do with them.

Wordless sighs rang out throughout the drill ground. The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, leaving this place behind.

Cui Hao glanced at Xiao Chen and said, “If you had not comprehended a will, the results of this battle would be hard to predict.”

Xiao Chen thought for a while before replying, “Perhaps. Unfortunately, there is no if. In battle, there is no if, only the result.”

After losing to a junior brother much younger than himself, Cui Hao felt very depressed. He did not say anything else; he just put his saber and the Moonlight Disk away and quietly left the drill ground.

High in the sky, the two Vice Palace Masters of the Heavenly Battle Palace and the Palace Master saw this battle. Their expressions were rather full of regret.

One of them was the Elder Bai that Xiao Chen met earlier. He happened to be the Heavenly Battle Palace’s Palace Master. He was responsible for guiding and training this group of true inheritors from previous batches.

“The Sect Master has good eyes. This fellow is worth our Supreme Sky Sect making an exception for.”

“Now, this is the age of geniuses. Demonic geniuses are appearing in great numbers. For our Supreme Sky Sect to obtain Shui Lingling and Xiao Chen, two demonic geniuses, we have already established a footing.”

One after the other, the two Vice Palace Masters commented with joy on their faces.

Only Elder Bai in the middle did not show much joy. He said, “I remember that in this latest batch, the number of true inheritors increased to thirty. Even so, the competition was strangely intense.”

“Yes, the First Elder is considering bringing half of those disciples to the Heavenly Battle Palace.”

Elder Bai thought for a while and said, “Seven days later, when you and I go to Black Water Star, we should bring some of these true inheritors from the previous batches. Even if they were born at the wrong time, their minds should not be confused. These people are still the hope of our Supreme Sky Sect.”

Inside the Heaven Series training room, Shui Lingling introduced the functions of the various facilities to Xiao Chen before taking her leave.

Now, Xiao Chen knew why this Heaven Series training room could make so many people envious.

Firstly was the training room itself. Under the prayer mat were ten Rank 2 Spirit Vein’s origins for his sole use, which would allow his cultivation speed to double.

Inside the training room, there was an incense burner that could calm one’s mind. The aromatic herb placed in the incense burner was obtained from the several-dozen-kilometer-deep Chaotic Demonic Sea; it was very valuable.

The lighted incense burner produced a green smoke that allowed the cultivator to cultivate rapidly without entering into a state of Berserking Qi Deviation.

The training room also had combat puppets of various grades for sparring at any time. However, the user had to provide the Spirit Gathering Pearl needed to activate the combat puppet.

The training room even had a kind of Holy Spring Spiritual Milk. A drop of this Spiritual Milk allowed one’s Quintessence to recover instantly, so that the cultivator could fight with the combat puppets continuously.

However, the most exciting thing in the training room was none of these but a crystal that had a Martial Emperor’s will clone within it.

This crystal could be activated once a month. It allowed a cultivator to exchange moves with a Martial Emperor in their mental space. Just thinking about it would excite anyone.

A Martial Emperor was the peak of cultivation in the Kunlun Realm. In this Martial Epoch, becoming a Martial Emperor was the common goal and dream of millions of cultivators.

The benefits that one could gain from exchanging moves with a Martial Emperor went without saying.

Once Xiao Chen was alone in the training room, he first lit the incense burner. Smoke immediately arose and wafted through the room. When he took a whiff in, his mind instantly felt clear.

All the distracting thoughts immediately disappeared at that moment. From the inside out, Xiao Chen became filled with calm and serenity, a true marvel.

Ao Jiao could not help but sigh, The Supreme Sky Sect is really willing to spend so much. This aromatic herb is known as the Deep Sea Coumarin Grass. Just two hundred and fifty grams would cost a hundred thousand Astral Coins. Furthermore, that would last only three days.

Xiao Chen looked around the clean and elegant training room, saying, “I have been at the sixth layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation for some time already and have not felt a bottleneck yet. I can use this place to increase my cultivation speed without needing to worry about entering into a state of Berserking Qi Deviation by accident.”
