Chapter 1155: The Sky-Splitting Stone
The shrill ring of the sword resounded across the nine skies!
Amidst this overwhelming sword intent, Luo Jiutian and everything around transformed into part of the sword.
This sword completely dominated the sky and land!
Luo Yunyang kept his eyes firmly fixed on his father. As much as he wanted to train to break through to the Taiyi Yuan Venerate, he knew that he lacked concrete, detailed information on how to truly become one.
Right now, watching Luo Jiutian's breakthrough was an extremely good opportunity for him to see how it was done.
Endless Sky Laws! That was exactly what Luo Jiutian was doing. He was fusing endless Sky Laws into his long sword.
Right now, Luo Jiutian seemed as if he had created a great sword that could slice through the sky!
Yuan Venerate Jinta's face fell!
As a Taiyi Yuan Venerate, Yuan Venerate Jinta was a rather prideful fellow. He actually thought that nobody was comparable to him amongst all the people with similar cultivation levels.
However, Luo Jiutian's current transformation made him feel that they were now on equal footing.
It could even be said that Luo Jiutian hadn't lifted a finger, yet he had already pressured him to the point of breathlessness.
He wasn't happy that he had run into such a formidable opponent. However, it was hard for him to even block this imposing might right now.
As Yuan Venerate Jinta was deep in thought, Mountain Lord Fuyuan, who had already come over, reminded him, "Senior Brother, this is our last chance!"
Yuan Venerate Jinta knew exactly what Mountain Lord Fuyuan meant. He nodded his head heavily while watching Luo Jiutian's display of power.
As Luo Jiutian's might increased, the impact of his blows would become stronger.
This was the best opportunity to defeat Luo Jiutian once and for all.
However, it would be great if he could kill Luo Jiutian right now. After all, if he was unable to, the grievances between the two of them would be almost impossible to resolve in the future.
He also did not care too much about resolving these grievances even if they did exist. Most importantly, he wanted Luo Jiutian to die!
In just an instant, a five-colored war halberd appeared in the hands of Yuan Venerate Jinta while his energy was increasing.
A surging killing intent soared straight into the nine skies!
Meanwhile, others were also getting ready to attack besides Yuan Venerate Jinta. For example, there was a man with a round smiling face on a mountaintop 100,000 miles away.
His smile was wide but a tad sinister.
"Useless creature!" the man said calmly with a hint of anger in his words.
"Shao Fanzhu, Duolu Fantian made a juvenile mistake at this critical juncture and nearly ruined the plans of our sect. This is unforgivable!" a stern-looking man said.
The person who had spoken had a cultivation base at the peak Taichu Yuan Venerate level.
"The reason you are saying all this is because Duoluo Fantian snatched away your chance. Now, you want to seize this opportunity back, right?" Shao Fanzhu replied.
The man who had spoken had a square face and a robust appearance that seemed sturdy and reliable. However, his body was shaking in fear as a result of the pressure of Shao Fanzhu.
"Shao Fanzhu is extremely sharp at discerning things. There is nothing someone of a lowly status like me can hide from him..." To an outsider, it would seem as if this man was speaking to a figure of authority.
In the boundless Vast Sky Sacred Realm, very few people were able to gain the respect of this man. Most people who met him tended to address him and speak to him with reverence and respect.
However, he had not only lowered himself, but he also seemed willing to embarrass himself.
"Enough. It only makes sense that you were thinking about this opportunity that was supposed to be yours. It's just too bad that this Luo Jiutian fellow eventually landed in the hands of Duolu Fantian."
Shao Fanzhu's voice was calm, which comforted his companion, lifting the huge weight in his heart.
After all the years he had been serving alongside Shao Fanzhu, he knew Shao Fanzhu's temperament very well. The warmer Shao Fanzhu was to a person, the more careful he or she had to be in order to keep their life.
A lecture like the one he was currently giving meant that the worst part of the situation was over and there wasn't much more to fear.
"Shao Fanzhu, thank you for showing mercy!" the square-faced Taichu Yuan Venerate said gratefully.
Shao Fanzhu's attention was currently on Luo Jiutian, who appeared ready to surge into the sky at any moment. A well-rounded stone had now appeared in his hands as well.
The stone was black and smooth and lacked any distinguishing features. However, when that rock was taken out by Shao Fanzhu, the square-faced Taichu Yuan Venerate inhaled sharply.
He understood the sort of treasure Shao Fanzhu was going to use. If he were to activate the Sky-Splitting Stone, then Luo Jiutian would lose his life for sure.
As Shao Fanzhu was playing around with the Sky-Splitting Stone in his hands, Luo Jiutian, whose aura had already reached its peak state, let out a roar into the sky.
As he roared, the Sky Laws enveloping the merciless flame sky law charged toward his body.
If the sky laws were combined into one within his body, it would indicate that Luo Jiutian had already completed the transformation and was now considered a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.
Duolu Fantian was burning with anger. His mission had been to kill Luo Jiutian. Failing to do so and instead aiding him in his successful ascension would mean that he would be subjected to disciplinary action even though he was a Taiyi Yuan Venerate.
The punishment might even be harsher because of this outcome.
Duolu Fantian looked at the sky and let out a loud howl. He was filled with resentment, as he had been unable to find out why he had slipped up on a matter he had seemed to be in complete control of.
Killing Luo Jiutian should have been an easy task with the aid of the Green Jade Bodhi Leaf.
However, while things had been going smoothly at first, he'd realized he was unable to control this crazy amount of force. His inability to control that boundless force had caused it to be reduced to half of its original magnitude.
The flames that had initially been supposed to consume Luo Jiutian had ended up tempering and aiding his transformation. This whole matter ended up being embarrassing for him.
He would not be a match for Luo Jiutian once he ascended into the Taiyi Yuan Venerate. He had to make sure he did not let this happen.
Meanwhile, Duolu Fantian frantically formed hand seals. He wanted the power of his boundless flames to coagulate into a massive mountain of flames and directly slay Luo Jiutian.
It had been hard for him to use these techniques before. However, the power he needed to control now was a hundred times greater, so this technique was more dangerous than ever.
Luo Jiutian's transformation made him feel as though there was no time to waste. If Luo Jiutian successfully broke through, he would likely end up with nothing and might even lose his life.
Rather than end up with nothing, he might as well gamble now and put everything on the line!
Duolu Fantian continued forming hand seals in succession. As he did so, a projection of a giant sacred mountain appeared within Duolu Fantian's hands.
Condensing the might of the sky laws into a mountain was an extremely dangerous task. However, Duolu Fantian did not have much of a choice right now.
Quick, quick, quick!
Duolu Fantian knew that he did not have the luxury of time. He formed hand seals even more quickly, but his mind started to ache even more as a result.
He felt unbearable pain! However, this would all be worthwhile if it allowed him to successfully kill Luo Jiutian and complete the mission.
Luo Yunyang glanced at the actions of Duolu Fantian. He knew exactly what Duolu Fantian was trying to do.
Even if Duolu Fantian did not risk so much, it would still be very difficult for Luo Yunyang to hurt him. However, given all the effort Duolu Fantian was putting in right now, this was the perfect chance for Luo Yunyang to do something.
Duolu Fantian's mind power started to fall as Luo Yunyang controlled it. In an instant, the Taiyi Yuan Venerate level of mind power that Duolu Fantian possessed had already been reduced by Luo Yunyang to the level of an ordinary Heavenly Venerate.
The mind power of a Heavenly Venerate alone made it hard to even form a mountain, let alone conjure the magnitude of Duolu Fantian's power.
Instantly, the fiery sacred mountain that was about to take form right before Duolu Fantian crumbled up. Its massive power scattered in all directions like water droplets after a splash.
It was nearly impossible to get rid of or kill a Taiyi Yuan Venerate like Duolu Fantian. However, the magnitude of the force that spilled out in all directions this time was just too great.
In an instant, Duolu Fantian's body started to crumble because of this power. He did not even have the time to react before his spiritual consciousness was entirely destroyed.
Yuan Venerate Jinta, who was watching the battle from afar, could not help but curse Duolu Fantian upon seeing this scene unfold before his eyes.
This was plain incompetence!
However, after he hesitated for a moment, Yuan Venerate Jinta's five-colored war halberd was hurtled in Luo Jiutian's direction.
Even if that useless bum Duolu Fantian were to fail, he couldn't let Luo Jiutian succeed so easily.
Several martialists who had similar thoughts also took action at the same time.
Shao Fanzhu started to use his Sky-Splitting Stone at the same time!
