IS Chapter 132

At this moment, heavenly light shone from the Mending Stones in the sky. On the ground, the embroidered piece in Grandmaster Xia’s hands radiated a flowing and colorful halo. The embroidered landscape and the Five Elements Dao Domain intertwined, creating a dazzling world.

That uninvited guest, as black as ink and with jagged scales and horns, occupied half the sky as a matter of course. The power inherited from the ancient primordial era was not deliberately revealed, yet it was not restrained in the slightest, spreading out like a cloud covering the sky, breathing in harmony with the world.

To actually see a living true dragon in their lifetime, the shock in their hearts at that moment was far beyond what words could describe. Many people’s minds stagnated, as if they had fallen into a dream.

Under the gaze of such a pair of dragon eyes, few could remain calm.

And probably no one thought that so-called “sitting on the sidelines” would have no effect on them.

The eye-catching figure in red robes brought their minds back, reminding them that this was not a dream, but reality. In a dream, they probably wouldn’t see someone so graceful and radiant. If they could dream, wouldn’t they have dreamt of it long ago? Why wait until today?

Sword cultivators were inherently about killing and decisiveness. Such a person appearing here would hardly let things end well today.

He also said—the Main Sect True Man’s fellow disciples were all killed by him.

——How could that be possible?

At this time, the Immortal Dao people had not experienced the Ghost Realm, and their impression of Ye Zhuo, the Second Palace Master of the Micro-Snow Palace, was still based on some rumors and jokes. Some cultivators who had just emerged from secluded cultivation still remembered that this person was at the Integration Realm.

But even if he were at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, even if the Upper Purity Mountain claimed he killed the Dao Sect’s Earth Immortal, what could he do against the Main Sect’s Human Immortal? The Protector True Man should have immediately refuted this, right? But in the middle of the air, the True Man did not speak to reprimand, nor did he advance as Ye Zhuo had said. The two confronted each other, as if there were surging undercurrents.

Then, some people remembered the many strange aspects of Ye Zhuo, remembered the Spirit Mountain he had been to, and remembered his Life-Bound Sword.

“Second Palace Master Ye’s sword is refined from dragon scales.”

“In the sky—”

Suddenly realizing this, everyone’s hearts were filled with extreme horror.

“Could it be that Second Palace Master Ye’s sword—”

“That’s from a living dragon’s body—”

“This Ye Zhuo and the true dragon…”

“Second Palace Master Ye, could it be that he also has connections with the Dragon Realm?”

They could be so sure for no other reason than this: there were countless living beings in the world, among whom there were quite a few who couldn’t distinguish colors. Some couldn’t tell vermilion from emerald green, some couldn’t tell indigo from daffodil yellow, but people who couldn’t tell black from white were probably truly hard to find in the world.

“Ye Zhuo,” the deep voice of True Man Yu Que finally echoed from above, “What do you intend to do?”

Ye Zhuo slowed down his pronunciation, repeating Yu Que’s question word by word: “What do I intend to do?”

Suddenly, he chuckled: “Then may I ask, True Man, where are you?”

——In the Green Mountains.

“If I were now standing before the Upper Purity Mountain, and the True Man asked me this question, I would naturally answer.”

Li Yuan chuckled lightly. After a trip to the Ghost Realm, this Ye Zhuo’s arrogance was becoming more and more refined. Those contemptuous eyes just made people want to fight him.

True Man Yu Que stared coldly at Ye Zhuo.

That’s right, his fellow disciples were all killed by him.

Just now, news had come from the Upper Purity Mountain that Yu Ge’s Soul Lamp had been extinguished, his soul had scattered and dissipated, and his body had collapsed with a crash.

Junior Brother Yu Ge cultivated the soul; in theory, he shouldn’t have died so hastily.

Those rabble combined shouldn’t have been able to cross the Heavenly Barrier so quickly.

Now that Yu Ge had failed, Ye Zhuo had returned to the human world, and they hadn’t been able to quickly seize the Green Mountains’ Aura Meridian, how could the Upper Purity Mountain, as the leading sect, retreat easily? A direct confrontation was already unavoidable.

Yu Que had never fought Ye Zhuo.

Nor had he fought a true dragon.

But Yu Que didn’t think he would lose.

His junior brothers had died in the Ghost Realm because that was not their territory. Cultivators of the Boundary Realm fighting in another realm were no different in strength from ordinary Human Immortals. Now, within the human world, everything belonged to him. He would only win, not lose.

However, it was ultimately inappropriate for a Protector True Man to participate in the Immortal Dao disputes.

Moreover, was there authorization from the Dragon Realm behind this black dragon? Did the Dragon Realm want to interfere in human affairs? Very well, as long as this dragon didn’t make a move, he would keep his distance and respect him.

A thousand strands of thought were sorted out and a decision was made in an instant.

“Second Palace Master Ye, you are trapped in delusion, having long forgotten to return. Your killings are excessive, and both heaven and man condemn you,” Yu Que said, with his hands behind his back, “Since you are determined, then please enlighten me!”

“True Man!” The Supreme Elder of the Hongmeng Sect suddenly spoke up, “Second Palace Master Ye has returned. Have the others from the Ghost Realm also returned? True Man, why not wait until they have all returned, and discuss with us what exactly happened in the Ghost Realm before making a judgment!”

As soon as these words were spoken, some people echoed them.

Ye Zhuo glanced at the Hongmeng Sect’s elder. The Hongmeng Sect had always been able to endure what ordinary people could not. Why was he so proactive today?

After secretly transmitting his voice, Lin Zhu gracefully retreated and continued to participate in the battle.

Yu Que: “No need to say more! This fiend has already angered the masses in the Ghost Realm. Now that he can return, he must have slaughtered many more of my Immortal Dao brethren. If we let him continue, wouldn’t he become a threat!”

Having said that, he waved his horsetail whisk gracefully.

With this wave, his sleeves fluttered and his manner was as refined as an immortal. It took countless years of practice to achieve this, but regrettably, he paused slightly when retracting his hand, because Ye Zhuo’s sword was faster than he had expected. A thunderous sword strike had already come crashing down on his head without explanation. As expected, he was an arrogant, cruel, and bloodthirsty person!

This sword was not bad, with a sharpness that could split the heavens and the earth. Yu Que sneered as he watched it, and the world instantly changed!

The world, which had been interwoven with light, suddenly turned into a vast starry sky. Countless stars twinkled, and as Yu Que waved his horsetail whisk, thousands of stars instantly rained down on Ye Zhuo. From a distance, they looked like twinkling lights, but as they crashed down, they were like meteor giants the size of a world, each of them burning with flames comparable to true fire.

Ye Zhuo swung his sword, continuously slashing and shattering countless stars that were flying towards him. He leaped into the air and swung his palm at an oncoming star. The Red Lotus Dharma Body instantly appeared behind him, and a dharma seal capable of splitting this world was struck from his hand. Crimson flames vibrated outward with him as the center. The strength of the momentum was like a kunpeng striking the water, stirring up a monstrous wave of three thousand miles.

The fiery dharma seal met the rain-like thousands of flying stars, turning them all into ashes.

“The Spirit Mountain’s Buddhist teachings are indeed profound!” Yu Que laughed loudly, “Take this!”

In the next moment, the surrounding world changed again! This time, it was a pitch-black ocean like an ancient chaos. Countless primordial behemoths swam menacingly beneath the surface, revealing countless dark shadows like mountain ridges.

They were big enough, but in terms of appearance, they all seemed to be lacking and not as good as dragons.

A torrential rain fell from the sky, but it wasn’t rainwater; it was Nine Nether Profound Water. The Profound Water extinguished the flames of the meteors and the Red Lotus Fire, pouring down between heaven and earth. All around was the sound of torrential rain. The onlookers and fighters were all thoroughly drenched. Immortal cultivators could handle this, but being drenched wasn’t a pleasant experience!

When True Man Yu Que conjured up the starry sky, they could at least fixate on a star to land on. Now, everything had turned into a vast ocean, and they couldn’t even land on the backs of the beasts, so they could only hover in the air.

Not to mention that the people who were fighting were still fighting, the people using the Five Elements Dao Domain were still using their beautiful but very dazzling Dao Domain, and the person embroidering was still embroidering his signature pattern stitch by stitch, unperturbed by the wind and rain, greatly reducing everyone’s realm.

For a time, it was truly chaotic!

And Yu Que waved his sleeves and said, “Water, come!”

In an instant, the world was turned upside down, the sea water rushed in, and a monstrous wave swept across the sea, roaring and surging up like a tall wall. The behemoths within all opened their mouths, and as the wave crashed down on Ye Zhuo, they also attacked ferociously with the wave.

Nine Nether Profound Water, which could dissolve everything and pierce bones and hearts, could only be exchanged for a bottle the size of a thumb with mountains of top-quality spirit stones in the Immortal Dao. Now, it had turned into a vast sea, what an astonishment. Everyone felt barely able to protect themselves with their cultivation, let alone being directly hit by the waves.

Seeing this scene, if Ye Zhuo was truly swallowed by the sea wave, he would probably die and his Dao would vanish. The Protector True Man’s Take action had actually reached the realm of creating things from nothing.

Ye Zhuo didn’t dislike water or rain. Of course, he didn’t dislike this kind of vast sea either. With behemoths swimming beneath the water and a black dragon spanning the sky, it added more authenticity, allowing him to appreciate the view.

But True Man Yu Que probably didn’t create this scene for him to admire.

Being in the world created by Yu Que, his cultivation seemed to be suppressed a lot, but it didn’t matter. Ye Zhuo’s face didn’t change at all, and he slashed out with his sword at the sea wave that was collapsing like a giant mountain.

The tyrannical Sword Energy instantly split the sea water. In the next moment, the wave arrived, but it was divided into two torrents running on both sides of Ye Zhuo by the Sword Energy. Ye Zhuo stood between the two mountains, calmly swinging his sword again. This sword didn’t use Buddhist teachings.

This sword used the sword intent of the Illusion Sword Manor, as cold as ice and snow.

Millions of raindrops were like arrows, shooting into the raging sea water, as if there were heavenly soldiers and generals in the high heavens controlling strings. And Ye Zhuo’s sword, carrying the chill of ice and snow, suddenly exploded on the sea surface. In an instant, it was as if a cold dragon rose into the sky, and everyone present felt an icy chill pouring into their lungs.

The sword momentum stirred up a dramatic change in the wind and clouds, slashing towards True Man Yu Que while also sweeping across the entire sky and sea. The rain threads that had not yet fallen instantly solidified into slender, sharp ice thorns, changing direction and shooting out like arrows from behind Ye Zhuo, a dense rain of arrows towards True Man Yu Que.

True Man Yu Que instantly condensed ice into a shield, blocking them all, but as the thousands of ice thorns, carrying immense impact, nailed into the ice surface, True Man Yu Que was actually forced back several steps by this tyrannical impact, and nearly half of the solid ice layer was also shattered. Sensing their aura carefully, it turned out that these ice arrows were actually ice swords, each of them carrying Ye Zhuo’s icy sword intent. There were tens of thousands of such swords, how troublesome!

True Man Yu Que snorted coldly, and the ice shield dissipated in an instant. He raised his hands flat, and the giant waves surged upwards with his movements, forming a violent tornado connecting the sky and the sea. The water tornado swept all the ice swords shooting at him into it. The ice swords moved with the tornado, becoming faster and faster. When the speed of the tornado was so fast that the ice swords inside could no longer be seen clearly, it suddenly changed again. The tornado released the ice swords, flinging them towards Ye Zhuo at an extremely high speed!

At such a terrifying speed, even the eyes of immortal cultivators could hardly capture the afterimage left by the ice swords. To be able to propel external objects to such a fast speed required unimaginable great power. If one were pierced by them, no matter how strong the body, it would probably explode.

But the ice swords were fast, and the Second Palace Master Ye’s sword was also fast.

The red-robed figure flickered like a flame, and the light of the sword tip flashed out like lightning. The naked eye could no longer see such movements, but the mind could still discern that Second Palace Master Ye was rapidly wielding his long sword, blocking the ice swords. For a time, the crisp and ethereal sounds of collision and ice shattering echoed continuously in their ears. The shattered ice prisms flew out like shattered jade, scattering into a dazzling stream like a Milky Way beside the red-robed figure.

After blocking them all, the ice and snow sword intent seemed to have gained some understanding and reached a higher level. Frost and snow spread and condensed inch by inch on the No Self sword. The surging mountain-like waves around him still tried to bury Ye Zhuo, but Ye Zhuo’s figure leaped high, and an extremely dazzling sword slashed diagonally from top to bottom like a crescent moon, actually splitting a gap in the water tornado!

Frost rapidly condensed outward from the gap, forcibly maintaining the huge water rift for several breaths. And Ye Zhuo naturally floated and turned, carrying his sword into the gap, killing his way in. In the blink of an eye, the sound of startling weapon collisions and Daoist attacks came from within the water tornado. Glimpses of sword light could be seen, like flashes of lightning, piercing outward. For a time, the water tornado connecting the sky and the earth seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, and the figures inside were also rising and falling like flying, flickering vaguely.

At this time, only Yuan Tai and Feng Huai were still fighting their own battles. Naturally, Feng Huai only had Yuan Tai in his eyes, pursuing relentlessly and pressing step by step, while Yuan Tai had no other choice but to use all his means to fight him. With one wrong move, his newly grown arm was severed for the second time, looking quite disheveled.

Apart from them, everyone else didn’t know when they had stopped their movements, nor did they know when their gaze had shifted from their opponent. And their opponents had also stopped, staring dumbfounded with them at the Second Palace Master Ye and the Protector True Man fighting.

The Five Elements Dao Domain of the five Human Immortals was to transform all things into their own use, and the old man who put the mountains and rivers into embroidery also incorporated a world into his Dao Domain. Their Dao Domains were about controlling external objects and living beings, while the Protector True Man was actually creating things from nothing, becoming the lord of creation.

So, this was the Main Sect True Man.

…So, this was the Second Palace Master Ye.
