Ye Haochuan displays mastery of advanced techniques, including the Long Family's Dragon Roar and the Hua Clan's Manual of Returning to the Origin. Impressed elders discuss his potential and the artifact repair for his halberd. Ju Yuqu launches a powerful Divine Skill, Heavenly Punishment, overwhelming Ye Haochuan with blood thunder, forcing him to rely on his own strength as elders debate intervening.

“Divine Concealment Sword!”

Ye Haochuan swiftly put away the Halberd of Heaven and Earth into his storage ring, altering his armament in a flash. The Long Family Technique offered no substantial benefit against the vast ocean of Blood Thunder. However, the Divine Concealment Sword, possessing dual attributes of Thunder and Fire, held the potential to counter the Blood Thunder. Swoosh swoosh swoosh~

The Divine Concealment Sword lived up to Ye Haochuan’s expectations, swiftly cleaving through multiple tendrils of Blood Thunder. The purple lightning that enveloped the sword also effectively intercepted the Blood Thunder, preventing any of it from reaching Ye Haochuan. Concurrently, the Heart Thunder Armor contended with half of the Blood Thunder. It could be described as mutual annihilation rather than a clear victory or defeat. While it successfully annihilated the Blood Thunder, the Heart Thunder Armor was similarly depleted, exhausted to its very limit. Whoosh~

This surge of thunderstorm had been successfully repelled by Ye Haochuan. Yet, the dark, ominous clouds overhead showed no sign of dissipating with the vanishing of one wave of Blood Thunder. “Ah~”

Ju Yuqu was already consumed by fury. This Heavenly Punishment Divine Ability was his most potent attack, and the unexpected fact that Ye Haochuan had managed to block it filled him with indignation. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to mirror Ju Yuqu’s agitation, and as he let out a roar, the Blood Thunder above grew even more volatile. In the ensuing moment, a hundred strands of Blood Thunder descended simultaneously. These Blood Thunders, upon reaching mid-air, inexplicably converged towards the center, as if drawn by an unseen force. Two strands of Blood Thunder merged, then three… four… ten… a hundred…

A hundred strands of Blood Thunder fused into a single, colossal pillar of destructive energy, presenting an incredibly fearsome spectacle. Ye Haochuan’s brows furrowed deeply, as he strained to wield the Divine Concealment Sword, directing it towards the monstrous Blood Thunder. However, upon contact, the purple lightning on the Divine Concealment Sword was instantly annihilated. The sword lost its former prowess and was sent flying away. “Nine-Tailed Sword Qi!”

Ye Haochuan had foreseen this potential outcome and swiftly unleashed another trump card. Howl~ A Nine-Tailed Phantom materialized instantly, its nine tail swords enshrouded in a red mist, lancing towards the Blood Thunder. Crack crack crack~

The nine tail swords, formidable on their own, appeared as fragile as young saplings before a colossal truck when confronted by the immense Blood Thunder, shattering into a million pieces instantaneously. Spurt~

Ye Haochuan expelled a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly suffering the backlash from the Nine-Tailed Sword Qi, indicating a grave injury. Despite this immense cost, Ye Haochuan had only succeeded in reducing the Blood Thunder’s volume by half, yet it continued its relentless onslaught towards him. “Hahaha, I see no other means for you to block this, perish!”

By this point, Ju Yuqu had descended into a state of frenzy. Blood seeped incessantly from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth, a clear testament to the immense strain such an attack placed upon him. Yet, he appeared entirely unconcerned by his own condition, his gaze locked solely on the Blood Thunder and the now-crippled Ye Haochuan. He already pictured Ye Haochuan being pulverised into dust by the Blood Thunder. The title of genius, it seemed, was undeniably his to keep; no other was worthy of such a designation. “Senior brother, quickly retrieve Young Chap Ye, lest he be doomed!” the man with steel whiskers urged, a note of nervousness in his voice.

Ye Haochuan had been designated as the future of the Hua Clan by them, and they could not afford any unfortunate incidents. “It seems this is the only way!” Liu Bai sighed with resignation, preparing to activate the golden pearl to extract Ye Haochuan. Though he was loath to accept this turn of events, he felt he had no alternative at this juncture. Ye Haochuan’s failure to prevent Ju Yuqu from becoming a disciple of the Half-Mountain Residence was undeniably a severe blow to the Half-Mountain Residence. Yet, was it entirely fair to place the blame on Ye Haochuan? He had just recently ascended to the Immortal Transformation Stage, and achieving this level of combat prowess was already remarkable. “Wait!”

Just as Liu Bai was about to recall Ye Haochuan, Shentu Fu suddenly interjected. “Junior brother, what is it…” Liu Bai queried Shentu Fu with a hint of bewilderment. “Observe that kid’s eyes; he appears to still possess some hidden trump card!” Shentu Fu explained. “Oh?” Liu Bai quickly shifted his gaze and immediately perceived something unusual. If it were anyone else in such a predicament, despair would undoubtedly be evident. Yet, Ye Haochuan displayed not the slightest trace of panic; his eyes held no fear towards the descending Blood Thunder, instead appearing as though he were merely awaiting its arrival. “Heaven-Penetrating Barrier!”

As the Blood Thunder descended, Ye Haochuan swiftly extended his hand, employing what appeared to be an unprepared countermeasure to confront the formidable strike head-on.

Remarkably, this seemingly uncalculated move managed to intercept the massive Blood Thunder.

Upon meeting Ye Haochuan’s palm, the previously unstoppable Blood Thunder shattered into innumerable miniature lightning bolts, scattering away in a visually striking display.

Spurt~

Ju Yuqu coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura diminishing to its absolute lowest point. However, he paid it no mind, his gaze locked onto Ye Haochuan.

“Impossible, this cannot be!” Ju Yuqu seemed to have lost all rational thought, muttering the words repeatedly as if by instinct.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Haochuan materialized directly in front of him, the Divine Concealment Sword poised at his throat. With a cold tone, he declared, “You have lost!”

Ju Yuqu stared at Ye Haochuan, his expression vacant, as if lost in a trance.

After a considerable pause, he appeared to regain his senses, screaming out in anguish, “How can this be? You only just achieved Immortal Transformation, so why are you this powerful?”

“Why else? Because my innate talent eclipses yours!” Ye Haochuan replied with a chuckle.

“Preposterous! My talent is considered the absolute peak in this world; no one’s talent can possibly surpass mine!” Ju Yuqu retorted with utter disbelief.

“Young one, while self-assurance is commendable, overconfidence at your level is unwise. Don’t you realize there’s always someone superior?” Ye Haochuan quipped, a smirk playing on his lips.

“Hmph, don’t get arrogant! I refuse to believe that simply blocking my attack felt effortless for you!”

Ju Yuqu scoffed, his gaze then drifting away, abruptly freezing. A bitter laugh escaped him. “I never foresaw that in our conflict between the mighty, a mere stray dog would snatch the prize. Truly, a mockery of fate, haha…”

“Damn it, how could I have forgotten about that fellow?” Ye Haochuan exclaimed inwardly, quickly turning his head to look.

In the subsequent moment, his vision was consumed by an inferno of fury.

There, just ahead, was Li Qi, who had recently plunged off the cliff. He was now racing towards the Seven-Colored Mysterious Stone, his eyes gleaming with undisguised avarice.

“Scoundrel!” Ye Haochuan seethed internally, a desperate urge to intercept him surging within.

However, the instant he attempted to move, his knees gave way, nearly sending him crashing to the ground.

The earlier act of repelling the Blood Thunder, though it appeared seamless, had in fact exacted a heavy price. The Heaven-Penetrating Barrier, while capable of completely neutralizing an attack, came with a significant drain on his reserves.

At this juncture, Ye Haochuan’s Dantian was utterly depleted of its Spiritual Qi; his preceding exchange with Ju Yuqu had been nothing more than a demonstration of willpower.

While he faltered, Li Qi had already snatched the Seven-Colored Mysterious Stone. He then let out a peal of maniacal laughter directed at Ye Haochuan and Ju Yuqu, “Hahaha, so what if you two are powerful? In the end, it’s still me who emerges victorious! Hahaha…”
