Chapter 186: Spring and Snow
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
A spirit weapon is a weapon that contains real spiritual powers. In order to create a spirit weapon, many weapon refiners spend a lifetime worth of effort, using treasured resources just to cultivate the spiritual powers within. Such was the rarity of the spirit weapon.
The spirit weapon that Yao Yue took out was not just any spirit weapon–it was an elite one. It was a weapon that was stronger than the Sky Blood Spear that Ye Mo had.
It was also Ye Mo’s first time seeing the strength of an elite spirit weapon. If anything could explain how frightening the weapon was, the explosive spiritual power that could be felt the moment the weapon was unleashed was tiers above Ye Mo’s Heavenly Frost at full power.
“How is this possible? An elite spirit weapon? I’ve never seen one, even in the ancient times, and now I have the fortune to see one today. This weapon’s giving off a chilling aura. It must have been built with the highest quality of frost, with spiritual intelligence imbued in it as well. A rare weapon indeed.”
“Let’s steal her spirit weapon and present it to the City Master. We will surely return back to our glory days in the past!”
Yun Shan, Xu Fu, and their companions were completely in shock at the sight as well. They knew that Yao Yue was strong, but they did not expect her to be carrying an elite weapon.
“An elite spirit weapon! It makes a man jealous!”
“If Sister Yao Yue has an elite spirit weapon, her background must be something special!”
“Hehe. Now that Sister Yao Yue has unleashed her spirit weapon, she may not lose the fight against the white-eyed armored spirit just yet. Maybe both sides will suffer heavy injuries, and that will be when I swoop in and save the damsel in distress. Sister Yao Yue’s stone cold heart will be completely be melted by me as she leaps into my embrace.” Yun Shan rubbed his hands together in glee, with drool almost dripping down from his mouth.
Yao Yue unleashed the spirit weapon, and some color returned to her face.
This was a powerful feature of a spirit weapon. Yao Yue’s training was in the ice elemental field, and being born with an ice-type body, she was closely related to the frost and the cold. When unleashed, the weapon was also capable of restoring one’s energy.
“You armored spirits don’t belong in this world. This is an act against the flow of nature. Today, I will use the Holy Snow Sword to send all of you to hell!”
Yao Yue floated in the air, the Holy Snow Sword releasing countless light blades and covering the whole of Skylight City.
“Spring and White Snow!”
Rays of energy shot out from the Holy Snow Sword, the light blades turning into shards of frost icicles that shot towards the armored spirits.
The ice mountain rubble spiralled in the air, with the whole of Skylight City shrouded by the frost and snow, as if it was the ice age. A layer of frost and snow formed on the houses, walls, and city borders alike.
A single move was enough to change the whole weather of the Skylight City. What power from the spirit weapon!
Before the red-eyed and white-eyed armored spirits could react, the icicle shards pierced through them, turning them into frozen statues.
Pained screams ensued. In a breath’s time, all the armored spirits were frozen.
A single Spring and White Snow attack was enough to turn all the armored spirits, including an Energy Shaping Ninth Realm spirit, into ice statues.
This was the power of Yao Yue, and it could be said that this was the power of the Holy Snow Sword as well.
“How did Sister Yao Yue become so strong? What exactly is that spirit weapon in her hand? She changed the weather in a single move, killing all the armored spirits with ease,” one of the injured elite member on the ground thought aloud to himself.
This was the true power of Yao Yue!
“What amazing power, Sister Yao Yue!” Xu Fu, Yun Shan, and Yun Baitian immediately leapt out from their hiding spot, commending Yao Yue.
Yao Yue gingerly descended from the sky. Releasing the Spring and White Snow technique made her breathing heavier. Her face was slightly red, causing Xu Fu’s heart to go into a brief moment of frenzy.
However, seeing Yao Yue’s frightening strength killed off any of such thoughts. They know that that they would freeze into statues before they could even touch her.
“The three of you will be in charge of taking care of the injured brothers and sisters and protecting them. Also, collect all the soul essences properly. I will go look around Skylight City to look for any leftover armored spirits,” said Yao Yue calmly.
“No problem, Sister Yao Yue. However, you are injured. Do you want me to follow you along? My powers may not be that high, but I’m still a fighter in the Energy Shaping Fourth Realm and can be of some help,” said Xu Fu.
“You?” Yao Yue, seeing Xu Fu’s expression of sincerity, nodded and said, “That makes sense. You shall accompany me to find the leftover armored spirits then.”
“Don’t worry, Sister Yao Yue. I will protect your safety with my life,” said Xu Fu with a smile.
Immediately after he spoke, an explosive wave of pure energy shot out from the main city, make the whole Skylight City tremble. Cracks appeared on the layer of blue ice on the grounds, as well as on the walls and tall buildings.
“Who dares intrude my Skylight City and kill my underlings as I, ruler of the Skylight City, arise and return to life? You must be asking for death!”
A furious, ruthless voice roared in their direction. In an instant, the whole ice layer–the ice age that the Spring and White Snow had created–was destroyed immediately.
This kind of technique could only be used by strong fighters in the True Energy Realm.
Pew!
A ray of blood-colored energy force shot towards them like a shooting star and turned into a man with a maroon cape. The man wore an armored helmet, too, his pair of golden eyes looking extremely evil, as if they could pierce through others. Behind him, a pair of blood-red True Energy Wings spread out from his back with an extremely strong aura emanating from them.
“Don’t tell me. He is the Skylight Lord, the leader of the purple-colored armored spirits. Has he reached the golden-eyed armored spirit level already?”
Ye Mo’s heart was filled with shock as he witnessed everything unfold. An armored spirit in the True Energy Realm equipped with experience in martial techniques since the ancestral times–not even normal True Energy Realm fighters could fight against that.
“Brother Ye Mo, once we get his spirit essence, my spiritual powers will be recovered once again.” Ling’er’s eyes glowed up in excitement. She was abnormally worked up.
“He is a fighter in the True Energy Realm, and you want me to steal his spirit essence?” Ye Mo could not help but break into a cold sweat. He predicted that he would be blown away before he could even get close to the Skylight Lord.
“Don’t worry, I have my own plan. He is merely making use of the spirit essence to control himself. If he is in a spiritual state, I, Ling’er, will be able to handle him.”
Yun Shan and Yun Baitian saw what was unfolding, and their faces turned pale white. They could not wait to find a hiding spot again.
A fighter in the True Energy Realm was capable of slaughtering them with a wave of his hand.
“A True Energy Realm fighter?” Xu Fu’s face also revealed an expression of fear.
“Little girl, who would have thought that you would be holding on to the Holy Snow Sword? This sword was a treasure of the Sky Mountain Society back in those days. The weapon contained an enormous amount of frost spirit. With that sword in hand, even 100 warriors in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm would not be a problem for you. It is just unfortunate that you met me instead.”
The Skylight Lord floated in mid-air with his arms behind his back. His pair of blood-red True Energy Wings almost covered half the sky, with strong waves of energy force released with every flap of the wing.
“Skylight City has become a city of death. 10,000 years ago, all of you were killed by strong fighters, with none spared alive. But all of you are once again revived–how? I may not know the ins and outs of what happened, or why all of you were slaughtered by the elites in the first place, but the existence of spirits on this land is a defiance against the heavens.” Yao Yue looked at the Skylight Lord in the air without a hint of fear.
“I will send you to your death first, then destroy the heavens that you speak of!” The Skylight Lord let out a stone-cold roar, and with a single raise of his arm, a huge blood-red True Energy Giant Palm appeared from thin air, crashing down on Yao Yue.
