The Sovereign's Ascension Chapter 450

Chapter 450

The ear-deafening explosions nearly made people throw out blood. But when they recovered from the shock, everyone’s faces changed as they raised their head to the stage. There was a sword emitting a purple glow clashing against a violent fist. From their point of contact, a visible shockwave could be seen rippling out in the air.
Everyone was shocked by the clash, and many people could barely open their eyes from the violent gale. Some weaker cultivators were even struggling to remain seated on their seats. One must know that the observation stage was nearly a thousand meters away from the stage, and one could imagine how powerful the clash was. No one could imagine how many people would be injured if they were too close to the ripples.
Lin Yun’s eyes flashed coldly, and his quasi-xiantian sword intent surged even further. A phenomenon was created around him, it was a lake shrouded in a mountain range.
The densely packed sword rays that flew out from the Flower Burial Sword were like countless rocks being thrown into the lake, which caused a violent ripple.
Each of his sword rays were terrifying, and in just the blink of an eye, Lin Yun had swung out over ninety sword rays with the Iris Sword Sutra. Each of the rays could suppress any geniuses in the eighth stage.
“Interesting.” Heartcliff frowned. He could sense that Lin Yun was a lot stronger than three days ago, and even he was feeling rather pressured from Lin Yun’s sword technique.
“Dracophant Battle Fist!” With saintly music sounding out, Heartcliff threw out a barrage of punches. Each of his punches was like the charge of a dracophant, and after ten-odd punches, Heartcliff suddenly retreated.
Meanwhile, Lin Yun’s eyes flashed with a killing intent and he swung his sword down. This made Heartcliff frown his brows as he avoided the attack. When Lin Yun’s sword smashed onto the ground, it created a long cut on the ground that even charged beyond the stage.
When the sword ray landed on the ground outside the stage, it instantly created a huge crater that caused the entire plaza to tremble. This instantly made the spectators dumbfounded. They couldn’t imagine how powerful this attack was. After all, all attacks were restrained in the stage with the use of an array. But Lin Yun’s sword split the stage into two?
Heartcliff squinted his eyes into slits when he saw this scene. He instantly knew that Lin Yun wanted his life. He sneered, “Your improvements are shocking. Not only did you reach the tenth stage, but your origin energy can even contend with me. But you’re still too tender. Let me show you the true meaning of power! Berserker Rage!”
Heartcliff’s dracophant energy suddenly turned red, and his bones began to crackle like rumbling lightning. The violent aura emitting from him instantly caused the entire sky to turn dark as he leaped into the sky and threw a punch down, like a mountain crashing down.
Finally bringing out ten cauldron’s worth of strength?
“In the name of my sword, bloom!” An Iris Flower bloomed behind Lin Yun, and Lin Yun’s sword aura instantly reached a terrifying level. When he stabbed his sword out to clash with the crimson fist, it suddenly caused the entire ancient stage to tremble and began to crumble.
This instantly covered the entire stage in a cloud of dust, and everyone sucked in a cold breath at this scene. Heartcliff had previously used ten cauldron’s worth of strength to obliterate his enemy, but no one had a clear sense of how powerful it was back then.
But when they saw how the stage collapsed, their faces were replaced with shock. Only a power at equal level could show how powerful a titled figure was.
“How terrifying. I heard that not even a Violet Palace Realm can deal any damage to the stage.”
“Two monsters… Are they really in the Profound Martial Realm?” Many cultivator’s faces turned pale with shock in their eyes. There was only one quota left in the quarterfinals, and everyone had already expected an intense fight from Lin Yun and Heartcliff. But no one was expecting that the battle would be so ferocious.
“They’re fully worthy of being called monstrous geniuses…” Some Violet Palace Realm elders sighed when they saw this scene. They could naturally tell that this was no longer a battle within the levels of the Profound Martial Realm. Even those in the initial Violet Palace Realm wouldn’t be able to cause such a huge commotion.
This meant that Lin Yun and Heartcliff had both exceeded the levels of ordinary Violet Palace Realm cultivators. They were shocked when they realized this fact. They weren’t surprised that Heartcliff would have such strength, but Lin Yun too? Just how deep did Lin Yun hide himself?
The battle was still ongoing on the stage between the sword and the fist.
“Ten cauldron’s worth of strength…” Lin Yun could sense that Heartcliff’s strength was genuine, not from any secret techniques. Lin Yun had also cultivated the Dracophant Battle Physique, and this was why he was so shocked. He knew that he would be dead if his cultivation technique hadn’t reached the ninth stage.
He only had eight cauldron’s worth of strength, and there was no way he could compete with Heartcliff. After all, ten cauldron’s worth of strength was a whole new different level.
“Little sword slave, are you feeling afraid now? Your Dracophant Battle Physique is nothing in my eyes! Hahaha!” Heartcliff continued to rain his punches down amidst his frantic laughter.
As more punches rained down on the Iris Flower, cracks began to appear. At the same time, many people on the stage had also seen something unusual about Heartcliff’s strength.
“Interesting, Heartcliff actually really possesses ten cauldron’s worth of strength. Furthermore, it’s not from any secret techniques.”
“Ten cauldron’s worth of strength is a transformation, just like how xiantian sword intent is for swordsmen. He must have a fortunate encounter.”
“It must be related to the Dracophant Mountain in the Primal Origin Sect.” But even so, there was nothing Heartcliff could do to Lin Yun. Lin Yun’s Aquaselenic Sword had reached the manifestation stage, not to mention that he was pushing the Iris Sword Sutra to the limit. So even if Heartcliff held a slight advantage in the fight, he still couldn’t help feeling fearful for Lin Yun’s attacks.
“Die!” Heartcliff roared, and his crimson fist manifested into an ancient beast that charged at Lin Yun, wanting to devour him whole.
“Spread out!” Lin Yun focused his gaze and threw out a radiating moon which formed into a purple sword ray.
The heaven and earth trembled from the clash between the two attacks, and the stage was totally destroyed by now. Craters could be seen everywhere, and the violent gale made everyone squint their eyes.
The clash was too terrifying for them. This made the participants who were eliminated shocked. They knew that it wasn’t luck that Lin Yun and Heartcliff could make it this far.
With another violent clash, the two separated from each other.
“Haha, I never expected that a sword slave like you is capable of pushing me this far. But this is the end. You’re doomed to die the moment you stepped on this stage, and I’ll use your life to cleanse the humiliation of the Primal Origin Sect!” Heartcliff’s face finally began to look serious.
Lin Yun raised his brow, but he didn’t speak a word. However, the Flower Burial Sword buzzing in his hand had already spoken his determination.
