Chapter 471: Heaven Unity Technique

"Xiang Shaoyun!" Yu Caidie cried out in alarm.

Xiang Shaoyun had saved her life two times, and although she had reacted indifferently both times, she had still kept what he did for her in mind. Part of the reason she had reacted indifferently was due to the odd feeling that there was some sort of indescribable connection between them. It was this connection that made her accept his assistance as if it was how things should have always been.

But right after Xiang Shaoyun killed the fifth-stage Devil Emperor, the storm had swallowed him. That was almost equal to death. Unless he had a sovereign armor as well, it was unlikely he would survive.

"Break!" Tang Longfei wasted no time and sent numerous golden fists over, trying to break the storm. Unfortunately, like throwing stones into the sea, his fist energies vanished into the storm without doing anything.

"Haha, even the heavens are siding with me!" Di Tong roared with laughter. He had never expected that Xiang Shaoyun would get himself killed by the storm. His mood improved greatly.

"He's dead? What a pity," Huo Xudong muttered.

"The yin devil wind is mine! Mine! Nobody can take it from me!" Laughing like a madman, Ruo Suifeng crawled back up on his feet and charged toward the storm once again. His desire for the yin devil wind had caused him to not fear even death. He dove right into the storm, trying to reach its center.

He knew that so long as he could reach the center, he would be able to use his astral energy to forcefully absorb and refine the yin devil wind. At that time, he would even be able to directly enter the Emperor Realm.

Unfortunately, even with a sovereign armor and a high-tier emperor weapon, his strength was nothing before the storm. Nevertheless, he wasn't sent flying this time. Instead, like Xiang Shaoyun, he was swallowed by the storm.

"Stop the storm with all you have!" Yu Caidie shouted with a solemn look in her eyes. She hopped onto her phoenix and brandished her halberd. She, her phoenix, and her halberd became one, and several beams of light started shining down upon her from the stars beyond the nine skies. Her strength soared, and soon, she turned into a bright clump of radiance that charged toward the storm at her top speed.

Rumble!

She crashed into the storm like a meteor, the might of her attack reaching a level comparable to a fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator. This was her final trump card, and it was terrifyingly powerful.

This was an attack combining the human, the demon, and the weapon into one, a legendary attacking technique known as the Heaven Unity Technique. To use the Heaven Unity Technique, the human needed to have a certain level of intimacy with the mount and a certain level of resonance with the weapon. The human would act as the medium of the mount and the weapon, allowing the power of the human and mount to be channeled to the weapon as the human attacked.

The so-called "Heaven Unity" referred to the fact that everything would become one, as if the heavens had created the three as one, the combination allowing the human to reach the peak of power.

This technique was much scarier than the human weapon unity. After all, the multiplicative effect of joining the power of a human and a mount was not to be underestimated. Unfortunately, even an attack this powerful failed to break the storm. Both her and the phoenix were flung away. Blood sprayed everywhere.

Looking at the injured Yu Caidie, after some hesitation, Yu Ziyi inwardly acknowledged, I really am incomparable to her.

She had always thought that she and Yu Caidie were similar in strength and that she was slightly stronger. However, witnessing the Heaven Unity Technique had completely crushed her confidence. The other geniuses were as shocked as Yu Ziyi. They were all prideful War Emperors, but today, they finally understood how big the world was and that there would always be someone stronger than them.

"Roar! Roar!"

As the storm moved away, the devil wind beasts also followed it and roared madly. None of them were bothered to spare these humans any additional attention. In their eyes, the yin devil wind was vital to their existence. Only by staying near the yin devil wind would they continue growing stronger.

The geniuses did not give chase either. After this experience, all of them had acknowledged that it was practically impossible for them to obtain the yin devil wind with their strength. However, they had suffered quite a bit of losses in this trip. They were unwilling to just return like this.

After discussing among themselves, the two groups decided to continue following the storm. They would wait until the storm naturally weakened before attempting to get the yin devil wind again. They believed that this storm would not remain so strong at all times.

At that conclusion, they started tailing the storm. But the storm was too fast. Since they had wasted some time in discussion before giving chase, they now needed more time to catch up. On top of that, the devil wind beasts were starting to get in their way once again.

This time, even the devil wind beast emperors were involved in intercepting the humans. They believed that the storm must have moved because the humans had harassed it, so they were here for revenge. One could say that the devil wind beasts had truly been infuriated.

The geniuses had yet to fully recover from their bitter battle, and with the angry devil wind beasts attacking them, they started retreating one after another. Only Yu Caidie, seriously injured, stubbornly continued her chase. She became one with her phoenix and pushed her speed to the limit. Not even a devil wind beast emperor could easily catch her when she was moving this fast.

Meanwhile, the storm had arrived at some unknown location. Xiang Shaoyun was still alive within the storm, but he was in a dangerous state. After being pulled into the storm, he first set up his defenses.

He also put on the broken sovereign armor he had gotten from Celestial Skeleton. If he hadn't, he would have been ripped apart the moment the storm swallowed him. His Six Goldplate Manual was not enough to protect him from something this powerful.

Even with the sovereign armor on, he was still spun around with the wind to the point he started feeling light-headed. He started coughing blood, and all four of his limbs were laden with wounds. He looked extremely sorry.

If he allowed this to continue, it was only a matter of time before he died. Not even the broken sovereign armor could preserve his life. After all, he was still too weak. His inner organs would not be able to withstand this sort of impact for too long. If it wasn't for his tough body, he would have already died. He was sent flying everywhere, and for the first time, he felt like there was nothing he could do.

"I can't allow this to continue. I need to save myself," said Xiang Shaoyun.

Thanks to his Nether Soul Domain, his soul remained awake, allowing him to understand how bad of a situation he was in. He kept trying to think of a way out, but he couldn't come up with anything. The wind was too powerful, and he seemed so minute before it.

Suddenly, he saw someone else flying about in the storm. That person was none other than Ruo Suifeng. He was actually slowly moving around relying on some sort of footwork. He had evidently found a way to remain somewhat stable in the storm.

"Haha, moving the body along with the wind, moving like the wind! This is how the real footwork intent should be like!" Ruo Suifeng roared with laughter, oblivious to Xiang Shaoyun.
