Chapter 402 - 232: Strolling Leisurely, Breaking with a Single Sword
Before the icy tornado arrived, Yang Xuantian already felt the space around him turning frigid.
"Feng Tan’s strength is quite impressive."
Yang Xuantian smiled slightly, opened his mouth, and a magical treasure emerged.
That treasure was in the shape of a red tripod, its body engraved with numerous flame patterns, with anomalous fire blazing fiercely inside, emanating a terrifying temperature.
As he channeled his mana, the treasure immediately enlarged, transforming into a height of three zhang. Then, the mantra changed, and the lid of the tripod burst open with a rumbling sound, spewing a torrent of anomalous fire with a terrifying temperature, sweeping toward the icy tornado.
Boom!
The torrent of anomalous fire collided with the icy tornado, causing a deafening explosion, with a shocking aftermath of magical combat spreading, causing massive destruction in the surrounding area.
And just as Yang Xuantian made his move, He Beiyi was not idle, and almost simultaneously, he also acted.
He clearly understood that although his senior brother Yang Xuantian had an advantage against Feng Tan, he would not be able to take him down quickly, since the latter was no weakling either.
At this moment, his own importance became apparent.
Qi Chuan, who had just broken through to the Core Formation Middle Stage, couldn’t possibly be too strong.
As for himself, he was a seasoned Core Formation Middle Stage expert.
If he could defeat Qi Chuan as quickly as possible and then aid Yang Xuantian, the two of them together could relatively easily take down Feng Tan, quickly ending this competition for the Tier Three Ruins.
With these thoughts in mind, He Beiyi opened his mouth, and a flash of light from a treasure flew out.
As Yang Xuantian’s junior brother and a member of the Yang Mountain Sect of the Yin Yang Mansion, He Beiyi possessed a treasure.
This treasure was called the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl, a thumb-sized Bright Yellow Treasure Pearl of very good quality, a Tier Three Middle Grade Treasure, and inherently Yang Attribute, with very strong attacking power.
As the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl flew out from He Beiyi’s mouth, it began to enlarge, but stopped when it reached the size of a human head.
He Beiyi held the head-sized Pure Yang Treasure Pearl in his right hand, his Golden Core circulating within his Dantian. As he channeled his mana, the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl immediately radiated a bright light, like a glorious sun, with a cluster of pure yang flames seemingly burning fiercely within the pearl.
Buzz.
Subsequently, the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl emitted a peculiar buzz, and a blazing white beam shot out of it at extreme speed, aiming directly at Qi Chuan.
The speed of the beam was astounding, and Qi Chuan had no time to react before being enveloped by it.
Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on He Beiyi’s face.
As long as one was enveloped by the beam triggered by the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl, a terrifying Yang Attribute power would erupt, invading Qi Chuan from every possible way.
He didn’t expect to defeat Qi Chuan with the power of the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl alone, but the latter would surely be overwhelmed and struggling, giving him an opportunity to prepare a powerful divine technique.
The divine technique he intended to use next was called Celestial Yang Infinite Fire, a powerful divine technique he had recently mastered, with strong power.
The greatest feature of the Celestial Yang Infinite Fire is that it can be infused into Yang Attribute treasures, significantly increasing the power of the treasure.
For instance, the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl he was currently using was already quite potent.
And once the Celestial Yang Infinite Fire was applied, it could be integrated into the beam emitted by the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl, elevating the power of the beam to an even higher level.
In this way, even an experienced Core Formation Middle Stage True Master might not be able to withstand it, leading to regret.
Let alone Qi Chuan, who had just broken through to Core Formation Middle Stage not long ago.
"Celestial Yang Infinite Fire!"
Without looking at Qi Chuan’s reaction within the beam emitted by the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl, He Beiyi immediately formed hand seals, chanting, not daring to delay even a moment as he applied the Celestial Yang Infinite Fire divine technique.
He opened his mouth and out came a peculiar white flame, which was indeed the Celestial Yang Infinite Fire he had mastered.
Usually, this Celestial Yang Infinite Fire was nurtured in his Dantian, continually fed with mana.
When needed, he summoned it forth.
After summoning the Celestial Yang Infinite Fire, He Beiyi glanced toward Qi Chuan ahead, wanting to see how Qi Chuan was faring inside the beam.
What he saw was shocking.
Inside the beam, it was remarkably calm, with no reaction.
He saw a figure quietly suspended within the beam, seemingly unaffected by the terrifying temperature.
"How is this possible?" He Beiyi murmured softly.
The scene he had imagined, where Qi Chuan would be scrambling and overwhelmed, did not occur.
And that wasn’t the worst part.
The key point was, Qi Chuan appeared to be coping quite effortlessly.
This was impossible.
With his robust mana, plus the substantial power of the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl, how could Qi Chuan, who had just broken through, handle being enveloped by the beam so easily?
Meanwhile, inside the beam, Qi Chuan was indeed very relaxed.
A layer of Sword Gang covered his body, isolating all the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl’s power, preventing it from impacting him in the slightest.
In this scenario, the power of the First-Grade Nine Orifice Golden Core and Sword Intent both played a role.
Qi Chuan glanced at He Beiyi in the distance, then shifted his gaze toward Yang Xuantian and Feng Tan’s magical combat.
Both parties’ magical combat was intense, but they would not reach a decisive outcome shortly.
Feng Tan was inherently not weak and, facing Yang Xuantian in the same realm, wouldn’t be defeated so quickly.
However, Qi Chuan deemed it prudent to conclude the magical combat sooner rather than later, to be safe.
"Daring to be distracted during magical combat with me?"
From afar, witnessing Qi Chuan’s distraction, He Beiyi appeared somewhat incredulous.
Not only did Qi Chuan remain unperturbed under the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl’s power, but he was also distracted. This was too much, wasn’t it?
"Celestial Yang Infinite Fire!"
In his indignation, He Beiyi immediately drove the Celestial Yang Infinite Fire suspended in the void, which gently descended, merging with the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl.
Suddenly, the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl underwent an astonishing transformation, radiating countless beams of light. The blazing flames inside it burned even more wildly, extending beyond the pearl, transforming into a massive flame, enveloping the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl and He Beiyi’s hand.
With such an incredible transformation of the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl, the beam it emitted instantly expanded several times, its internal temperature soaring straight up.
Seeing this, He Beiyi exhaled slowly.
He refused to believe that under such an onslaught, Qi Chuan could still maintain the same effortless demeanor as earlier.
Sure enough, as He Beiyi anticipated, Qi Chuan was indeed affected somewhat.
But the one most affected turned out to be Qi Chuan’s patience.
Qi Chuan had lost all patience to continue playing around with He Beiyi.
"Human-Sword Unity."
Enveloped by the brilliance augmented by Celestial Yang Infinite Fire and Pure Yang Treasure Pearl, Qi Chuan directly executed the Human-Sword Unity Sword Dao Divine Technique.
Within the dazzling radiance, Qi Chuan’s figure vanished.
Only a mysterious cyan sword shadow surged against the direction of the beam emitted by the Pure Yang Treasure Pearl, slashing toward He Beiyi.
"How can this be?"
Witnessing this, He Beiyi was shocked and terrified.
However, his reactions were swift, immediately spitting out a defensive treasure, followed by casting several defense magical spells and defensive divine techniques in succession.
Yet all these measures were ultimately futile.
He could only watch as the mysterious cyan sword shadow sliced upward, piercing through all of He Beiyi’s defensive measures, and in his terrified gaze, swept past his hairpin.
A crisp sound rang.
The hairpin shattered instantly.
His entire head of black hair fell loose, draping over his face, masking his pale countenance.
At this moment, He Beiyi trembled all over, but what trembled the most was his pair of pupils. At this instant, he had almost ventured into the immense terror between life and death, unable to remain composed.
