Chapter 1321: Chapter 1320: Creation

The universe once again erupted into a horrific cosmic explosion, causing many stars to fall and turn to dust.

Swordsmanship dazzled brilliantly, spear technique shone dazzlingly; intertwined, they resembled two colliding nebulae, crushing against each other, the terrifying Qi drowning out this area, making it impossible for even those in the Unification Realm to discern where the two combatants were.

"Heavenly Eye Technique!" The only exception was Shi Chan, who used one of the Six Spiritual Powers of Buddhism, the Heavenly Eye Technique, to open the Heavenly Eye, perceiving the boundless worlds in all directions.

"Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array." Lu Yang once again deployed the Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array. Eight Immortal Swords, plus a Sword Washing Pool to take the place of the Green Peak Sword, might as well be considered nine Immortal Swords, their power infinite and unending.

"Trying to use my own move against me?" The previous instance was merely the opponent taking advantage of his anger to launch a sneak attack, succeeding by luck. How could he possibly fall for the same move a second time?

Not to mention, he was the creator of the Sword Array, naturally aware of where the weak nodes in the Dawn Sword Formation were.

He formed mysterious seals with his hands, striking the weak points of the Sword Array.

However, the Sword Array did not collapse as he anticipated; it remained intact.

"Have you altered this Array Method?" Wu Yao perceived meticulously, discovering that the Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array deployed by Lu Yang was different from the one he had created. It seemed even more ingenious?

"Speaking as if the Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array was your original creation." Lu Yang flicked his fingers, and the Immortal Swords streaked across the sky like meteors, crashing toward Wu Yao.

The Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array wasn’t originally created by Wu Yao; he merely found remnants of the Sword Array left by the Qilin Immortal and deduced it from there.

The Qilin Immortal designed this Sword Array to deal with his two wives when apologies were needed, a forced kneeling Sword Array created specifically for such occasions by Yingtian Immortal.

Lu Yang had long since obtained from Yingtian Immortal the methods to enhance the Sword Array, its might surpassing its former glory.

"If that’s the case... Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array!" Wu Yao’s bronze spear flickered, astonishingly transforming into numerous identical spears, replacing swords with spears to form an Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array.

The simplest and most brutal way to counter the Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array is to create a completely opposing one.

The falling Immortal Swords, like large stars, collided with the rising bronze spears, like the proud sun, releasing a radiant and dazzling immortal light.

If the number of Immortal Swords equaled the number of spears, Lu Yang’s Extinguishing Immortal Sword Array would have the upper hand. However, Wu Yao forcibly compensated for the shortcomings in the formation with the number of spears, fighting Lu Yang to a standstill.

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow; Wu Yao suddenly producing so many bronze spears capable of clashing head-on with the Immortal Swords was clearly not an act of magic skill.

"Is this also one of the abilities of the Dao Fruit Outline? Duplication?"

Lu Yang shook his head; it couldn’t be Duplication Dao Fruit Outline, for that would be a lower-tier compared to Guan Shanhai’s Imprinting Dao Fruit, something Wu Yao would certainly not do.

Wu Yao flicked water to form ink, using space as his canvas. Demon Beasts sprang forth onto the canvas, transforming into real Demon Beasts, charging towards Lu Yang.

The Four Holy Beasts, the Four Evils, Dragon, Phoenix, Di Jiang... these Demon Beasts were all fierce entities who reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and Semi-Immortal level during Ancient Times, similar to historical afterimages, left their imprints in the world; the Demon Beasts that Wu Yao drew fused with these imprints, indistinguishable from the arrival of their ancient true forms!

Veterans at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage were so anxious they felt their hearts rise to their throats; even through the communication device, they could sense the murderous aura of these Demon Beasts, surely Ancient Demons!

"This won’t be easy." Zhui Yue True Person, who was drinking tea at the Great Snow Mountain, had a grave expression. These Demon Beasts were Creations, without genuine emotions and feelings, and she would suffer greatly if she recklessly clashed with them.

"Qing He, who do you think will win?"

Lu Yang’s Third Senior Sister, Gan Tian, was also at the frontline. Zhui Yue True Person and Qing He were watching the battle remotely through Gan Tian’s Quantum Communication Device.

Qing He scoffed disdainfully: "Of course, Lu Yang will win. Although I’m reluctant to admit it, he’s the disciple chosen by the Elders. Whether his opponent is Emperor Yu or the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t matter; how could the Elders’ disciple possibly lose?"

Zhui Yue True Person’s eyes twitched. Was the relationship between Immortal Fairy and Lu Yang really that of master and disciple? Her Seven Emotions Dao Fruit Embryo did not tell her this.

Such talk should avoid being mentioned, lest she lose Qing He as a tea companion.

"Roar—"

Faced with the assault of a hundred demons, Lu Yang summoned back his Immortal Swords. Eight Immortal Swords guarded the eight directions, and their peerless Sword Qi broke through the Thirty-three Heavens, shocking the universe.

"Kill!"

Lu Yang had never faced such a number of Demon Beasts before and was thrilled by the challenge. He saw the Demon Beasts as whetstones for his blade, aiding his ascension in Swordsmanship.

Sword light shone brightly, tearing through space; every swing meant a Demon Beast was obliterated.

Despite the hundred demons being in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, Lu Yang couldn’t possibly hope to extinguish all the Demon Beasts with just a single person and sword.

He was wounded before long. At this moment, he completely lost his sense of pain, immersed in the pleasure of comprehending Swordsmanship. Even Wu Yao would have to commend his boldness for seeking enlightenment in such peril.

Wu Yao quickly realized something was amiss; not only was Lu Yang injured, but he was also grievously wounded by the Demon Beasts several times. Such wounds could damage his foundation if not tended to, yet Lu Yang’s injuries recovered in an instant!

Wu Yao understood—Lu Yang wasn’t so much bold as he was confident, treating this battle as a crucible for honing his skills!

The more Wu Yao thought about it, the angrier he became. He commanded the Demon Beasts to attack en masse, trying to overwhelm Lu Yang with sheer numbers and deprive him of any chance to heal!

The Demon Beasts piled onto Lu Yang like a mountain, leaving him unable to move even a fingertip, and the eight Immortal Swords were equally suppressed by the swarm.

Boom—

The mountain of Demon Beasts exploded, and the severed limbs and debris fluttered across the universe, turning into ink.

"Self-Detonation?!"

Wu Yao was shocked; he didn’t expect Lu Yang to opt for the most aggressive tactic.

However, what appeared before his eyes was an unscathed Lu Yang, looking nothing like someone who had self-destructed.

Wu Yao frowned: "Talisman recovery, self-detonation recovery... could it be some sort of Dao Fruit Outline related to time that can reverse its flow?"

"No, that doesn’t explain the golden phoenix formed from the Immortal Fire. What exactly is your Dao Fruit Outline?"

With a light chuckle, Lu Yang responded: "Growing hair, duplicating weapons, conjuring a hundred demons. What is your Dao Fruit Outline?"

"Do you think I would tell you!" They exclaimed in unison. Both were cunning; they certainly wouldn’t foolishly reveal the nature of their Dao Fruit Outlines.

Though unspoken, Lu Yang had his suspicions—Wu Yao likely possessed a Creation-related Dao Fruit Outline, capable of crafting various rare treasures to combat, which was quite troublesome to contend with.

However, Lu Yang was not fearful. To counter such a Dao Fruit Outline, the simplest and most direct strategy was close-quarters combat!

Whatever rare treasures Wu Yao crafted needed space to work!

Lu Yang seized this exact opportunity.

Wu Yao intended to avoid battle, but Lu Yang traced his origin across various points in space, making it impossible for Wu Yao to escape!

The eight Immortal Swords were irresistible; a Transcendance Tribulation Stage hit by a sword would surely perish, body and Divine Soul. Wu Yao, exuding a Chaotic Aura, once again brought out his bronze spear. The stars dimmed as he struck, splitting heaven and earth, collapsing space.

After hundreds of exchanges, a chunk of Wu Yao’s shoulder was sliced off, though it quickly grew back.

Lu Yang also spat out a mist of blood, struck with internal injuries by Wu Yao.

But Lu Yang’s recovery speed was much faster than Wu Yao’s.

Utilizing both Trace Origin and Immortal Dao Fruit Outlines, aside from Fairy Eternity, Lu Yang feared no war of attrition!
