Chapter 218
“Ah! This is the supreme divine ability of the Sword Tomb, the Nine Heavenly Swords!”
“The Nine Heavenly Swords transcend the Heavenly Rank; it is a supreme divine ability. Legend has it that it was created by an ancient supreme being of the Sword Tomb after contemplating the heavens for ten thousand years. It is profound and unfathomable, unparalleled in slaughter, and not inferior to the Divine Emperor’s divine abilities!”
“Jian Chen has hidden himself too deeply. When he fought Qi Mingdao and was almost defeated, he didn’t even use this move!”
In the arena.
“This Jian Chen, he’s got something…”
Ye Ruoshui was startled. It was the first time she had encountered such a formidable technique. Without even mastering a domain, he could harness the power of the heavens and earth for his own use. It was simply unbelievable.
“Fengtian Sword! Slash!”
Jian Chen shouted lightly, gripping the long sword in his hands tightly. The massive illusory sword shadow behind him moved as if it were an extension of his arm, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long river of swords that surged forward with overwhelming momentum.
The sword light descended, and the sword intent ran rampant, as if the entire space was being torn apart!
Boom! Boom!
“Hu—!”
Ye Ruoshui held her breath, not daring to be the slightest bit careless. Flames of fire runes rose within her body, rapidly converging above her head, enveloping her in a crimson radiance.
The scorching flames burned to their extreme!
“Heaven and Earth Furnace!”
With a sharp cry from Ye Ruoshui, the flames above her head suddenly expanded, transforming into a crimson furnace that firmly encased her. Layers of scorching fire waves rolled out.
The crimson furnace seemed to fill the entire heaven and earth, even the nearly horizontal river of sword energy was contained within it!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The river of sword energy collided with the crimson furnace, producing a series of violent impacts, as if bombs were exploding inside!
The river of swords plunged into the furnace, and the void cracked inch by inch, as if it could tear apart at any moment!
Jian Chen raised an eyebrow. This little girl’s strength was actually this formidable!
The Nine Heavenly Swords were a supreme divine ability. Not to mention Ye Ruoshui, who was only at the Spirit Seed Realm, even if he faced a Nascent Soul Realm expert, he could easily kill them.
“It seems I underestimated you.”
Jian Chen murmured.
Inside the blazing furnace, Ye Ruoshui’s face was pale, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead, only to be evaporated by the intense heat the next moment.
She lacked combat experience. Although she had grown through the Trial Tower and the Top 100 Competition, she still couldn’t compare to Jian Chen.
Moreover, she didn’t have many combat techniques at her disposal. Previously, she had relied on the Crimson Fire Sparrow and the Primordial Fire to crush her opponents, but when faced with a top-tier genius like Jian Chen, she found herself at a disadvantage.
Even though the Innate Fire was powerful, it could only be unleashed when there was an opportunity for close combat.
“Although the Heaven and Earth Furnace can block Jian Chen’s attacks, it cannot withstand them for long. I must find a way to close the distance and deliver a fatal blow!”
Ye Ruoshui’s eyes gleamed with determination as she clenched her fists.
When she advanced to the Spirit Seed Realm, she had comprehended a unique innate divine ability. However, this ability consumed an immense amount of energy, and she had never used it before. Now, it seemed that without resorting to this move, victory would be hard to achieve.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Ye Ruoshui moved!
“Blazing Fire Drift, Burn a Thousand Mountains!”
In her hand appeared a crimson flame sword, radiating overwhelming flames as if it were a burning sun. She hurled it toward Jian Chen in the distance!
The sword light flashed, and the intense flames seemed capable of incinerating everything in the world, evoking a sense of dread.
Jian Chen’s expression remained unchanged. With a twist of his wrist, his sword swept horizontally, and countless sword shadows emerged, slashing toward the crimson flame sword.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The sword shadows cut through the air, striking the flame sword and holding it back, continuously depleting its fiery energy.
Seeing this, a red glint flashed between Ye Ruoshui’s brows, and a scarlet flame emerged from her body, hovering above her head. This was her Fire Spirit Seed, now summoned in a desperate, life-or-death battle!
Directly activating the Fire Spirit Seed fused with the Innate Fire was consuming her origin power, but at this point, there was no other choice.
She pointed her finger toward the sky, then suddenly lowered it, aiming at Jian Chen, and shouted:
“Heaven and Earth Furnace, Seal!”
Hum!
The Heaven and Earth Furnace’s brilliance surged, transforming into a sea of fire that completely engulfed both of them.
A series of piercing friction sounds echoed as Jian Chen felt his skin being scorched, and a trickle of blood seeped from his lips.
Without Jian Chen’s continuous reinforcement, the sword shadows blocking the crimson flame sword suddenly dissipated.
In an instant, the flame sword expanded once more, transforming into a hundred-foot-long crimson sword shadow, carrying destructive force as it descended toward Jian Chen!
The sword energy soared into the sky!
This strike nearly suffocated everyone in the arena!
“Jian Chen is going to lose!”
“Although the Supreme Divine Ability is powerful, Jian Chen isn’t strong enough.”
“Ye Ruoshui has not only perfectly fused with the Innate Fire but also possesses formidable strength herself!”
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Jian Chen was on the verge of defeat.
However, at that moment.
A grayish stream of light, like a bolt of lightning, darted through the void and swiftly entered Ye Ruoshui’s body.
“Huh?”
Ye Ruoshui’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. She seemed to sense something but couldn’t be sure.
Instinctively, she tried to mobilize her soul force to inspect the sudden anomaly within her body.
But as soon as she summoned a trace of soul force, she found it difficult to sustain the immense power of her innate divine ability. Her body swayed violently, and she nearly collapsed.
“What’s going on? What is this?”
Ye Ruoshui’s beautiful face turned pale, filled with fear and shock.
She suddenly realized that her soul force had diminished by almost half.
Moreover, she had been maintaining her maximum output, and her soul force was naturally at its peak. The sudden decline in soul force caused her spiritual energy to nearly spiral out of control!
The strongest strike aimed at Jian Chen, now without Ye Ruoshui’s guidance, lost most of its power.
Jian Chen repeated his old trick, his long sword splitting into hundreds and thousands of blades, piercing through the surface and shattering the Crimson Flame Divine Sword.
“Damn it! What on earth is going on?!”
Ye Ruoshui lacked the experience to adapt to sudden changes in battle. After encountering this unexpected turn of events, she was overwhelmed with anxiety, unsure of what to do. She even forgot to focus her mind and prioritize dealing with Jian Chen, her formidable enemy.
Fortunately, she hadn’t completely lost her senses. She first retrieved her innate fire seed and then quickly assessed her own condition.
Within her body, a grayish-white force was continuously surging, relentlessly eroding Ye Ruoshui’s spiritual energy.
“This is bad! Not only is my spirit seed damaged, but my essence, energy, and spirit are also affected!”
Ye Ruoshui’s expression turned extremely grim.
But she also understood that the damage to her spirit seed wasn’t directly related to that unknown force.
Earlier, she had gone all out, attempting to strike down Jian Chen in one blow, which had overdrawn the source power of her spirit seed. Coupled with her sudden retrieval of the spirit seed, it had led to the damage.
The impact on her essence, energy, and spirit was far more complex.
The unknown force could only erode her primordial spirit, but essence, energy, and spirit were inherently interconnected—prosperity and decline were shared. Thus, her overall strength had been severely compromised!
