Disappeared... disappeared?
Everything has disappeared in the range of hundreds of miles in front?
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming and Dragon Girl 39 and others all looked surprised.
Although Chen Yun initially unleashed the Tiangang battle aura, destroying everything on the surface ahead, it was only the surface that was destroyed.
Everything is truly disappearing now!
The eyes can't see any material in front of them.
Whether it's mountains, rivers, or living creatures, all have been obliterated and vanished!
What remains is a huge "basin" with nothing in the range of hundreds of miles, and it is bottomless!
Or, it's a huge sinkhole!
Just like a massive meteor striking the ground, leaving behind a meteor crater!
Confused!
Wu Kejiu is bewildered!
Qin Ming was also momentarily stunned!
Dragon Girl 39, Ding Xu, and all the others who remained looked at the huge sinkhole in the distance with stunned expressions on their faces!
They have long known that the power of this stroke will definitely be enormous.
But no one had expected that it would be so extremely huge, far beyond their imagination!
A single stroke!
A sword strike that shakes the heavens!
It directly annihilated the land over a hundred miles away!
Chen Yun first demonstrated the true power of saving grace energy within the Yueyue Cave, stunning dozens of powerful cultivators present!
Everyone feels a cold sweat running down their backs.
They questioned themselves, what would have happened if they had been the ones to face that sword head-on?
The answer is obvious, as the earth in front of them has already answered for them!
They would definitely be blown to pieces and left without a trace!
No one present could withstand such a terrifying strike!
"Mr. Chen... it's so terrifying!"
Zhang Ling was so scared that her face turned pale, and her eyes secretly looking at Chen Yun were filled with inexplicable fear.
Immediately, all the remaining people exclaimed in unison.
"Oh my God!"
"This... is this the great power released by Mr. Chen?"
"Agh, I can't believe my own eyes! A single stroke has obliterated everything within hundreds of miles in front of us?"
"What kind of power is this? Is Mr. Chen really just a mid-level mage?"
"I must be dreaming."
"Even with the full power of two top-level mages, Wu Master and Qin Master, it's impossible to achieve such terrifying power."
"Even the highest-level mage can't do this. High-level mages can easily destroy such a wide range, but it's hard to completely annihilate the earth. The power of this release is probably only possible for masters, or even Xianren level."
Ding Xu, Xu Yang, Gao Chen, and the others all turned pale with fear.
Even some people staring at the scene in front of them couldn't believe it was real, as if they were dreaming.
No wonder they couldn't believe it.
They've known Chen Yun for more than a day, and they know his true cultivation level is that of a mid-level mage. Even if he unleashes his full power, he might be on par with someone just entering the top-level mage realm, which still leaves some room for doubt.
That's why they can't believe it when they see Chen Yun perform an "epic feat" that only a master or even a Xianren level could accomplish.
Although everyone dare not believe it, but the facts are as hard as iron in front of them, and there is no room for doubt!
In fact, Chen Yun himself couldn't believe it either; he was amazed at the power he could unleash with the aid of the saving grace.
Even though he felt the powerful saving grace, he dared not use his full power, lest he cause too much destruction.
However, even though Chen Yun did not use his full power, he still caused incredible destruction!
"Teacher's saving grace..." Chen Yun silently marvelled in his heart, "Indeed, it is the saving grace. If used well, I can walk around the Yuèhuàn Cave Realm freely, of course, with only three chances. Now that I've used one, I have two chances left."
This wasn't the most shocking thing for him.
The most astonishing thing for Chen Yun was that even after he had sequentially unleashed two powerful bursts, the power of the saving grace energy flowing through his body remained unweakened.
It seemed as if his teacher had said that a cup of tea time was constant, and no matter how much he consumed during that time, the saving grace energy would not weaken.
While Chen Yun was secretly shocked,
Suddenly, he felt a fighting consciousness emanating from the Cu Jin Zhǎn Yáo Sword he was holding.
The sensation was as if some kind of "soul" had invaded the divine sword, struggling with the sword spirit for control.
The Cu Jin Zhǎn Yáo Sword is one of the most powerful artifacts that he has, and it was personally gifted to him by his teacher. Therefore, Chen Yun naturally values it very much.
He didn't have time to search for the water viper's body, nor did he look at the Zhu Guo in the extremely cold cave to see if it had been destroyed. He quickly turned his head and spoke to everyone: "Please protect my dharma practice for me. I have important business."
"All right, Mr. Chen, you should recover your strength first." Wu Kejiu thought Chen Yun was going to recover his strength, so he quickly said with a smile, "We will definitely protect your dharma practice for you, and not let anyone get close."
However, there is a hint of command in Chen Yun's words.
Wu Kejiu had also been secretly thinking of "competing for power and influence" with Chen Yun.
But after witnessing the scene just now, being "commanded" by Chen Yun did not elicit any resentment from Wu Kejiu; instead, he became extremely "obedient," as if willing to be "dominated."
No choice, who would dare to have any other thoughts after witnessing Chen Yun's such shocking burst?
Wu Kejiu was not an idiot. He knew that having Chen Yun, such a powerful being, in the team would be more advantageous for their upcoming expedition.
In the face of absolute power, not to mention obeying Chen Yun's orders, he would even be willing to serve him.
Yes, after this incident, Wu Kejiu's attitude changed completely. He felt deep respect for Chen Yun.
This time it has nothing to do with Chen Yun's orthodox school status in the Xuanmen Sect.
Nor does it have anything to do with the vast power Chen Yun possesses.
It is Wu Kejiu's submission to Chen Yun's powerful force.
And the huge favor he did to save everyone from life-threatening situations!
It can be said that their ability to survive is all due to Chen Yun's merit.
Of course, Wu Kejiu would not have any opinions about whether Chen Yun would "compete for power and influence."
Qin Ming is also in a similar situation.
His gaze towards Chen Yun became even more passionate and resolute.
Since he met Chen Yun in Liliuzhou, he had already "kneeling" to him, hoping to join the orthodox school of Xuanmen by doing so.
Now, seeing this disciple of the orthodox school of Xuanmen with such great power...
He understood that if he could obtain the protection of this young Daoist, his dream of living forever would truly become possible!
The remaining Dragon Girl 39, Gao Chen, Ding Xu, Zhang Ling, and other cultivators looked at Chen Yun with gratitude and... admiration.
In this moment, they finally understood why the orthodox school of Xuanmen was known as the orthodox school.
In this moment when everyone believed that the impending doom was unavoidable and unbeatable, Chen Yun was still able to turn the tide.
This is the essence of the orthodox school of Xuanmen.
It is far beyond what outsiders like them can compare to!
Chen Yun didn't care about how others were thinking.
At this moment, he was a bit anxious.
He didn't know what was happening inside the Cu Jin Zhǎn Yáo Sword.
He wanted to find out the situation as soon as possible.
After Chen Yun kneeled down, he immediately withdrew his spirit and entered the divine sword.
......
Within the divine sword.
Chen Yun arrived in this world of deep yellow for the second time.
What was different from before was that in this world of deep yellow, there was only one existence of a "dragon shadow," which was the "soul" of the divine sword.
Now, as soon as Chen Yun entered the inside, he found two "dragon shadows."
One of the very large "dragon shadows" was the spirit of the divine sword.
The other "dragon shadow," only about one-tenth the size, seemed to be not very "complete."
It's hard to describe, but the smaller "dragon shadow" looked pretty much like the sword spirit, just without limbs and without two horns on its head.
Yes, the sword spirit also has no dragon horns.
Chen Yun remembered that the sword spirit seemed to be the soul of a Jiaolong (a type of dragon) that his teacher had killed and then transformed into the sword spirit.
Jiaolong and true dragons are quite similar, but there are also some differences.
The biggest difference is that jiaolong doesn't have dragon horns, only two small "bumps".
It is rumored that when a jiaolong evolves into a dragon, these two "bumps" will grow into dragon horns like antlers.
Chen Yun naturally knew all of these facts.
But he was a bit confused about what the smaller "dragon shadow" was.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Yun realized that the smaller "dragon shadow" was actually the soul of the water viper he had just defeated!
Hmm?
How did the soul of the water viper end up in the divine sword?
Chen Yun was taken aback for a moment.
Before he could fully comprehend, he saw the sword spirit enveloping the soul of the water viper and then opening its mouth to devour it continuously.
It bit off a large chunk of the water viper's soul with one mouthful.
The sword spirit was devouring it happily, as if it were enjoying a delicious meal.
What surprised Chen Yun most was that every time the sword spirit devoured a part of the water viper's soul, it grew three times larger!
"Wow," Chen Yun couldn't help but be pleased, and he mused to himself, "Could it be that my divine sword might still have the potential to 'level up'?"
He wasn't entirely sure about his guess, but he just quietly observed.
The sword spirit was just too powerful. It tightly wrapped the soul of the water viper, leaving no room for resistance. With one bite, it devoured a large chunk of the water viper's soul.
In no time, it had devoured the entire soul of the water viper.
After the sword spirit finished devouring, Chen Yun clearly saw that the two "bumps" on its head had grown into horns!
Although the horns that grew from the "bumps" were very small and not like antlers, which are larger and more prominent, they were indeed real horns that had grown out!
"Ah?" Chen Yun was stunned. "Is the sword spirit really 'evolving'? It's not already a 'soul'. How can it continue to evolve?"
He didn't understand what was happening.
But the evolution of the sword spirit would definitely be good for him!
Chen Yun guessed that as the sword spirit became stronger, the power of the divine sword would also increase.
He was not certain if this was the case at the moment. He decided to try it out outside and see for himself.
Thinking this, Chen Yun's spiritual essence exited the divine sword and returned to his physical body.
......
Outside.
Chen Yun just opened his eyes.
He was about to try and see if the power of the divine sword had become stronger.
Suddenly, he heard a burst of sound piercing through the air from a distance.
Instinctively, he looked towards the west.
Wu Kejiu, Qin Ming, and the one dozen or so cultivators who were awake, including Dragon Girl 39, all looked over.
They saw Yuan Chu, his disciple Yun, and about two or thirty swordsmen coming at a rapid pace.
In almost a blink of an eye, Yuan Chu and the others from the sky had landed in front of them.
Before Chen Yun had even stood up.
As soon as Yuan Chu landed, he said with a look of surprise, "Master, is it really you?"
Yun and the remaining two or thirty swordsmen were all surprised.
At first, they were still skeptical about whether Chen Yun was the one who unleashed an endless force of nature.
Many people initially dared not believe it was Chen Yun.
After all, the performance just now was too different from the previous "ancestors" they had encountered.
But after arriving at their destination and seeing Chen Yun's figure, Yuan Chu, Yun, and the other swordsmen realized that they hadn't been mistaken earlier. It was their ancestor Chen Yun who had been performing Tai Chi and unleashing an endless force of nature!
