Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 568 Yours is zero, mine is one! (10,000 words, 5th update!)
Seeing the tree sword in his hand suddenly being sucked away by the Vajra Bracelet, even with the composure of the Ancient Phoenix Feather, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

She wasn't unaware of the existence of the Vajra Bracelet, but she was surprised that the Sword in the Tree, which was clearly a treasure from the Gate of Babylon, could also be absorbed.

The tree-shaped sword attached to the surface of the Vajra Ring slowly shrank, and was eventually sucked into the metal ring and disappeared.

The audience, who were initially very excited, were all stunned by what they saw, and for a moment the huge Xingluo Gymnasium was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

What happened?
What happened?
On the platform, Yue Hongchen was also somewhat taken aback by the situation before her; she had never expected such a thing to happen!
In a war of weapons, if your weapon is taken away in a single encounter, how can you fight?
Yue Hongchen looked at Dai Lingxun and exclaimed, "The Vajra Bracelet, a national treasure?"

This White Tiger Empress really resorted to all sorts of underhanded tricks to win.

The Vajra Bracelet, this divine artifact, was not brought from the Douluo Continent by the Star Luo Empire. Rather, it originated from the present-day Star Luo Continent and was once a national treasure of the Star Luo Continent.

When the Star Luo Empire migrated to this continent, they naturally encountered resistance from the native inhabitants.

Invasion always comes at a price. Although the Star Luo Empire at that time could not defeat the Sun Moon Federation, dealing with these natives was still a piece of cake.

During the great war, a tribal chief brought out this Vajra Bracelet, which caused great trouble for the Star Luo Empire's army.

This thing has an incredibly strong ability to absorb any weapon. It can devour any weapon. Even martial spirits have some effect on it.

Inside this Vajra Bracelet is a small space. It's not large, but it completely isolates you from the outside world.

At that time, the Star Luo Empire had seven Title Douluo with weapon spirits weakened by them. If they hadn't ultimately defeated them with the power of beast spirit masters, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to rule the entire continent.

Even so, the Star Luo Empire paid a considerable price.

After acquiring this Vajra Bracelet, it was revered as a national treasure. Only the emperor of the empire had the full power to wield it.

With the development of soul tools, the effects of this artifact have become somewhat lackluster. Because its internal space is limited, the weapons it devours are mostly just preserved inside, rather than actually evolving.

The information obtained from the indigenous people also states that this Vajra Bracelet comes from ancient times, but no one knows where it came from.

Even Yue Hongchen had only heard his predecessor, the previous Spirit Tower Master of the Star Luo Empire, Qian Gu Guangyao, mention the Vajra Bracelet, but had never actually seen it.

We've lost our weapons, we can't use our martial spirits, and we can't use our soul skills. How are we supposed to fight?
Dai Lingxun sat upright in the main seat, her beautiful eyes smiling. She had gone to great lengths yesterday to persuade Chen Yi to use the Vajra Bracelet.

She knew all along that her actions would be questioned, but so what?

The old man, Mu Tian, ​​said calmly, "The Five Gods' Battle is a fighting method passed down from ancient times. Out of respect for the Tower Master of the Ancient Era, we must go all out. For this reason, I had to go to great lengths to persuade His Majesty to use the Vajra Bracelet."

Yue Hongchen cursed Mu Tian's shamelessness inwardly, saying that he had gone to great lengths to persuade him, but it was probably a one-time agreement.

Gu Yuena looked at Ning Qinglan in confusion. [Didn't we agree to throw the match? What's going on here?]

Then, Gu Yuena saw the same question in Ning Qinglan's eyes.

Chen Yi was originally prepared to go easy on them, but she couldn't refuse Dai Lingxun and Mu Tian, ​​so she had no choice but to take the Vajra Bracelet.

The audience was stunned. Although few people knew about the Vajra Bracelet, a national treasure, they could see that the competition had reached a point where it was unnecessary to continue.

The weapons have all been taken away in this war; is there any point in fighting?

Chen Yi felt guilty and fearful at the same time. She felt guilty because she had to rely on this method to win the competition.

What she feared was that if she really won, Ning Qinglan would certainly not let her off the hook that night.

Just when everyone thought the battle wouldn't happen, a smile suddenly appeared on Qian Gu Huang Yu's face.

She could feel that even though the Vajra Bracelet had taken it away, she could still feel the connection between the sword in the tree and herself, and she could always put it back into the Gate of Babylon.

Seeing the smile in Qian Gu Huang Yu's eyes, Dai Lingxun instinctively had a bad feeling.

Golden ripples gently spread, and the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather slowly took out a white ring from the King's Treasure.

The white ring in Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand looks somewhat similar to the Vajra Bracelet in Chen Yi's hand, but in terms of aura, it is far superior to the Vajra Bracelet in Chen Yi's hand.

The weapon in Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand is the Vajra Bracelet of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, which is far superior in status to the national treasure of the Xingluo Empire.

This scene surprised the entire audience. Why did Qian Gu Huang Yu also bring out something similar?

The Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather raised the Vajra Bracelet and shouted, "Sword, come!"

In the next instant, golden light flashed, and the sword in the tree appeared in Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi's pupils showed a hint of surprise, and she quickly used her spiritual power to probe whether there was still a sword in the tree within her Vajra Bracelet.

To her surprise, the sword in the tree was actually taken back!

Dai Lingxun's surprise was no less than Chen Yi's; she never expected that there was actually another Vajra Bracelet, and that it was in the hands of Qian Gu Huang Yu.

"What's going on?" Chen Yi couldn't help but ask.

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled calmly, "The Vajra Bracelet is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth that was created after the birth of this plane and over a long period of time. There are two of them."

"It's just that yours is zero, and mine is one. When zero meets one, it naturally has no power!"

This is a lie. The reason why the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather was able to retrieve the Sword in the Tree was simply because of the connection between the Sword in the Tree and the Gate of Babylon.

The Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather simply put the sword in the tree into the King's Treasury first, and then took it out.

But to outsiders, it was as if they had been summoned away directly.

Although it was said to be the Vajra Bracelet, Qian Gu Huang Yu's eyes were fixed on Chen Yi, making Chen Yi feel awkward.

Although she had accepted the fact that she was in a subordinate position, being so openly pointed out still stirred up some ripples in Chenyi's heart.

"The Vajra Bracelet has this kind of distinction?" Dai Lingxun's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. Even as the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, this was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing.

"Is this also a treasure of the Spirit Pagoda?" Enci asked, looking at the Vajra Bracelet in Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand.

Although they look similar in appearance to the Vajra Bracelet of the Star Luo Empire, their auras are worlds apart.

"Who knows?" Yue Hongchen did not answer.

...

On the field, after taking back the sword in the tree from Chen Yi, Qian Gu Huang Yu raised the Vajra Bracelet once again.

Chen Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, and a terrible thought suddenly surfaced in her mind.

The next instant, the Vajra Bracelet in Chen Yi's hand suddenly emitted a terrifying attraction, causing it to fly out of her grasp.

With a clang, the Star Luo Empire's Vajra Bracelet was directly attached to the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather's Vajra Bracelet, then gradually shrank and was absorbed into it.

There was silence.

They all thought that with Chen Yi's ability to absorb weapons, the battle was over, but they didn't expect that just one minute later, the Star Luo Empire's national treasure, the Vajra Bracelet, would be taken away.

On the podium, even Enci's eyes showed surprise. When Qian Gu Huang Yu said that the Vajra Bracelet was originally a pair, he did believe it.

He thought that at most neither side could defeat the other, and that the battle would eventually return to a war of weapons. But he never expected that the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather would take away the Star Luo's Vajra Bracelet!

Mu Tian looked like he'd seen a ghost. He thought the battle was a sure thing, but this unexpected turn of events had occurred.

"Sect Master Mu, are you satisfied with this result?" Yue Hongchen chuckled.

Mu Tian said coldly, "Even without the Vajra Bracelet, do you really think Chen Yi can't beat her?"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

...

Seeing her Vajra Bracelet being taken away, a hint of wavering finally appeared in Chen Yi's originally calm eyes.

"Shall we continue?" Qian Gu Huang Yu chuckled softly.

Chen Yi twirled the Seven Kill Sword and said, "It's good that it's gone. The real battle has just begun."

With a slight twitch of her eyebrows, Qian Gu Huang Yu put the Vajra Bracelet back into the Gate of Babylon. The Vajra Bracelet had no effect on martial souls, so there was no point in keeping it.

Chen Yi lightly touched the ground with her toes, instantly transforming into a white lightning bolt and rushing towards the direction of the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

Chen Yi raised the Seven Kill Sword and gently tapped it forward. Even though it was just a very ordinary movement, from Qian Gu Huang Yu's perspective, it seemed as if the whole world was sweeping towards him.

Everything around remained unchanged, but Qian Gu Huang Yu brandished the sword in the tree, making an upward thrust that just barely blocked the Seven Kill Sword and blocked Chen Yi's fierce attack.

The two swords clashed, producing a melodious hiss. Qian Gu Huang Yu gritted her teeth, her tiger's mouth aching, feeling a terrifying pressure.

This is not a difference in soul power or physical fitness, but an absolute difference in swordsmanship.

"Not bad." After missing her first move, Chen Yi immediately leaped backward. At the same time, she gently swung the Seven Kill Sword in her hand, unleashing a clear blue sword aura.

The azure sword energy exploded instantly upon being unleashed, transforming into thousands of sword energies that flew towards the Ancient Phoenix Feather like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

[Really?] Qian Gu Huang Yu was slightly startled. She knew that Chen Yi regarded her as an opponent of the same level.

Even though the sword in the tree in Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand created afterimages, it could not completely block the attack. The sharp sword energy instantly tore through Qian Gu Huang Yu's clothes.

If it weren't for the protective dragon scales automatically appearing, Qian Gu Huang Yu would probably have been hacked to pieces by Chen Yi by now.

Both Chen Yi and Qian Gu Huang Yu were very fast, and they fought for over a hundred rounds in a short time. However, even the dragon scales on Qian Gu Huang Yu's body were cut, while Chen Yi was still unharmed, and even her clothes were not torn.

After barely managing to withstand Chen Yi's attack once again, Qian Gu Huang Yu felt extremely frustrated. Most of her abilities lay in her martial spirit and bloodline, and her swordsmanship was not outstanding.

Aside from Qian Renxue, the former angel and goddess, among their peers, Qian Gu Dongfeng has already mastered the Staff Soul, Chen Hanyu has even touched the threshold of the God Realm, while Qian Gu Huangyu himself has only just entered the Sword Soul Realm.

Should we use the Thunder Scepter?

Although she was constantly being suppressed by Chen Yi, Qian Gu Huang Yu actually knew how to break the deadlock. Whether it was bombarding the enemy with the Thunder Scepter or directly drawing the Gua Li Sword, she could quickly end the battle.

But she was unwilling to give up!

Perhaps things have been going too smoothly lately, or perhaps it's simply that I'm unwilling to admit defeat.

Most importantly, Qian Gu Huang Yu had a feeling that Chen Yi's swordsmanship was only slightly better than hers, and not invincible.

[Since I can flip the table with Ea at any time, let me be willful this once and truly understand the gap between myself and the Sword God.]

The audience watched the dazzling swordplay on the field, speechless for a long time, some even feeling a little dazed.

Apart from the initial Vajra Bracelet contest, Qian Gu Huang Yu was suppressed from beginning to end, without a single chance.

Qian Gu Huang Yu, who defeated Saint Dragon Douluo Enci yesterday, seemed so powerless in front of Chen Yi.

Is this the difference between the two sides?
In the hearts of the audience, the halo of the legendary Phoenix Feather is quietly shattering.

If a goddess sheds blood, she is no longer a goddess.

Once again, Qian Gu Huang Yu was injured by the sword energy of the Seven Kill Sword. She felt a sharp killing intent enter her body through the wound.

This is also why Qian Gu Huang Yu had such a difficult time fighting. Whenever killing intent entered her body, Qian Gu Huang Yu had to distract herself to dispel the killing intent within her body.

However, this will inevitably affect his ability to defend against Chen Yi's subsequent attacks, causing more wounds.

[Her killing intent surpasses that of Blood Emperor Ye Lingchang.] Qian Gu Huang Yu made this assessment of Chen Yi's strength in her mind.

Ye Lingshang's Killing Angel was cultivated through killing, but in terms of killing intent, it was still inferior to Chen Yi's Seven Killing Sword. One can imagine how profound Chen Yi's understanding of killing had reached.

[Using killing as a sword?] A flash of inspiration struck, and Qian Gu Huang Yu instantly gained some insight.

Because she possesses too many attributes and abilities, Qian Gu Huang Yu treats weapons more as a medium for unleashing her own abilities.

For example, one can use the Thunder Scepter to unleash thunder, or the Time Scythe to manipulate time and space.

However, for other Soul Masters, they integrate other attributes into their own will, rather than directly mastering other attributes.

Take Chen Hanyu as an example. She herself does not have spatial attributes, but the Unstable Storm in the Thirteen Forms of the Sea God can use spatial power.

This stems from the old sea god's profound understanding of the way of the halberd, using the trident of the sea god to pry open the power of space.

However, the Phoenix Feather of the Ages is completely free of this problem, because she inherently possesses spatial and temporal attributes.

Because the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather possesses too many attributes, she has never considered using her sword intent to fuse with other attributes.

After all, whether it's time or space, you can just use it directly; there's no need to go through all that trouble.

However, while this is convenient, it also has drawbacks, namely, that using a weapon of the corresponding attribute will interfere with the use of another attribute.

Simply put, when Qian Gu Huang Yu uses the Thunder Scepter, she naturally receives a boost, but when she tries to use the power of time or space, the Thunder Scepter will have a negative effect.

However, if the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather incorporates different attributes into its sword intent, then there will be no conflicting attributes.

The sword intent of Chen Yi's Seven Kill Sword naturally incorporates killing intent, but it would be more accurate to say that the Seven Kill Sword itself is primarily about killing.

Therefore, the intent of killing naturally permeated Chen Yi's swordsmanship.

Upon realizing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu instantly understood: [I don't need to use my own sword intent to manipulate other authorities like others do; I just need to integrate my inherent attributes.]

The next instant, the Tree Sword in Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand thrust out, and thousands of golden lightning bolts burst forth from the blade of the Tree Sword!
The thunder dragon roared, golden lightning raged, and the rampaging thunder transformed into a sky full of sword energy, instantly shattering the clear blue sword energy that Chen Yi had unleashed.

Lightning was the first attribute that Qian Gu Huang Yu awakened. Now, Qian Gu Huang Yu's control over lightning is already superb, and he can easily integrate it into his sword intent.

After defeating the enemy with a single sword strike, Qian Gu Huang Yu held the sword in the tree and pointed it at Chen Yi, then slowly slashed downwards with the tip of the sword.

Chen Yi instantly felt an immense pressure coming from all around her, as if the whole world had become her enemy, wanting to push her out.

Gravity Blade, a fusion of gravity and one's own sword intent!

Thunder, gravity, life, death—the Phoenix Feather of the Ages integrates these attributes into its sword intent in turn.

Qian Gu Huang Yu already possessed an extremely profound grasp of attributes, and under Di Tian's tutelage, her swordsmanship foundation was also very solid. All she lacked was that one moment of enlightenment.

Faced with Qian Gu Huang Yu's relentless pursuit, Chen Yi lost her initial composure. Of course, this did not mean that Qian Gu Huang Yu had surpassed Chen Yi in swordsmanship.

Rather, the power of a sword move is related to one's own swordsmanship and soul power, although Qian Gu Huang Yu is not as good as Chen Yi in swordsmanship.

However, after Qian Gu Huang Yu incorporated the attributes she possessed into her sword techniques, she instantly closed the gap between herself and Chen Yi with her terrifying soul power and superb attribute control.

In short, although the operation technique of the Ancient Phoenix Feather is not good, the stats are too high, and it directly breaks through the method of brute force.

The audience in the stands saw that Qian Gu Huang Yu, who had been suppressed just moments before, suddenly seemed to have a breakthrough, instantly becoming evenly matched with Chen Yi, and even surpassing her in some aspects.

Chen Yi blocked Qian Gu Huang Yu's attack once again, and sighed, "Directly integrating attributes into one's sword intent? What a clever trick."

Qian Gu Huang Yu chuckled lightly, "So what if it's a shortcut? As long as it works, isn't that enough?"

Chen Yi snorted coldly. She was already feeling somewhat powerless. In the battle of weapons, besides the difference in the weapons themselves, there was also the difference in will and soul power.

Previously, Qian Gu Huang Yu's sword techniques were simply swinging the sword. Although his soul power was abundant, his moves were limited, like having a mountain of gold but not knowing how to use it. But now, Qian Gu Huang Yu has incorporated his attributes into his swordsmanship. Although he is still inferior in swordsmanship, after integrating his attributes and soul power, he has not only narrowed the gap but has even surpassed it.

Chen Yi's soul power quality was already inferior to that of Qian Gu Huang Yu, and now she has fallen into a downward spiral.

“Although I am still inferior to you in swordsmanship, you have no chance anymore, so admit defeat,” Qian Gu Huang Yu said with a smile.

Chen Yi sighed and said, "We really were underestimated!"

Chen Yi swung the Seven Kill Sword in her hand repeatedly, unleashing several sword energies that forced Qian Gu Huang Yu back. Then, she leaped backward to create distance.

The next instant, accompanied by a long and ethereal dragon roar, a pure white bone dragon king leaped out from behind Chen Yi.

It is Chen Yi's second martial soul, the Bone Dragon King!

When Jian Chenyi summoned her second martial soul, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

"What does it mean?"

"Is this her second martial soul? Aren't beast martial souls forbidden in weapon battles?"

"Referee, wasn't that a foul?"

"How is this possible? I don't believe the Tang Sect would break the rules of the competition!"

"Palace Master Chen must have her reasons for doing this!"

While the audience was arguing, Yue Hongchen on the stage did not challenge Tang Clan or Dai Lingxun. She knew that with Chenyi's strength and status, it was impossible for her to break the rules so openly.

Zang Xin looked towards the battlefield, a knowing glint in his eyes. "Teacher, this is serious!"

On the field, the crystal-clear Bone Dragon King hovered behind Chen Yi. Suddenly, as Chen Yi raised her left hand, the Bone Dragon King trembled violently, and then rushed into Chen Yi's hand like a whale sucking water.

Soon, to the astonishment of the audience, the Bone Dragon King, who had been looking down on the sky, was transformed into a crystal-clear silver longsword in Chen Yi's hand.

The Bone Dragon Sword has a long, slender blade, resembling a silver skeleton, with an incredibly sharp edge that seems capable of piercing through space.

The hilt is formed from a coiled dragon tail, and the silver threads wrapped around the hilt are engraved with dense, mysterious runes.

Chen Yi slowly wielded the Bone Dragon Sword. The sword was like a flowing moonlight, made up of countless tiny silver bone pieces. The gaps between each bone piece were as fine as hair, yet they fit together perfectly.

Martial spirit transforms into a sword!

Qian Gu Huang Yu's eyes flickered slightly. "So you were hiding such a trick?"

Chen Yi said, "I can't afford to be careless at all when facing you!"

Qian Gu Huang Yu did not rush to attack immediately, but instead began to focus on sensing Chen Yi's sword intent.

Unlike the killing aura of the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Yi's second martial soul, the Bone Dragon King, possesses an extremely pure spatial attribute. The sword intent within the Bone Dragon Sword is the Dao of Space!
Generally speaking, beast martial souls and weapon martial souls are clearly distinct, and there is no situation where someone forcibly transforms a beast martial soul into a weapon martial soul.

However, Chen Yi is a master of swordsmanship. When she transforms the Bone Dragon King into a sword, it becomes even more difficult for her to unleash her full power.

Moreover, transforming the Bone Dragon King into the Bone Dragon Sword did not actually prevent Chen Yi from using the Bone Dragon King's soul skills.

On the contrary, because he can attach his sword intent to the Bone Dragon King, he can use it to create even greater combat power.

After Chen Yi used the Bone Dragon Sword, her aura instantly became more ethereal, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.

Chen Yi raised her left hand, brandished the Bone Dragon Sword, and unleashed a silver-white blade of light that instantly cleaved the lightning unleashed by the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather in two.

Qian Gu Huang Yu's pupils suddenly contracted. She was all too familiar with the feeling emanating from that silver-white blade of light; it was clearly a spatial slash!
"You're directly cutting through space to break my attack?" Qian Gu Huang Yu exclaimed.

“You’re not the only one who possesses other attributes!” A rare smile appeared on Chen Yi’s face.

After speaking, Chen Yi unleashed several more slashes, the Seven Kill Sword and the Bone Dragon Sword working together to catch Qian Gu Huang Yu off guard.

Just now, the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather relied on its superior attributes to forcibly compensate for its shortcomings in swordsmanship.

Now, thanks to the spatial attributes of the Bone Dragon King, Chen Yi has narrowed the gap again, and the situation has returned to what it was before: Qian Gu Huang Yu's shortcomings in swordsmanship.

Although the lightning and gravity attributes of the Eternal Phoenix Feather are at the highest level, the spatial attribute itself, as a high-level attribute, can to some extent bridge these gaps.

In short, after Chen Yi used the Bone Dragon Sword, although her attributes were still inferior to those of the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather, the gap was much smaller.

Not to mention that Chen Yi's strength increased greatly after combining the two swords.

Chen Yi swept the Seven Kill Sword horizontally, aiming directly at Qian Gu Huang Yu's head. Upon seeing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu immediately used the sword in the tree to block, narrowly managing to parry the Seven Kill Sword.

But in the next instant, the Bone Dragon Sword pierced out from the left, leaving the Ancient Phoenix Feather with no way to dodge.

In desperation, Qian Gu Huang Yu quickly took out another sword from the King's Treasure and finally managed to block Chen Yi's attack.

Although she narrowly blocked Chen Yi's attack, Qian Gu Huang Yu then truly witnessed the true power of a sword god.

Because Qian Gu Huang Yu had been practicing the One-Sword Style for many years, this time when she suddenly used two swords, she did not achieve the effect of Chen Yi's dual swords combined.

Instead, due to poor coordination, they made frequent mistakes, and in a short time, Qian Gu Huang Yu's wounds increased even more.

On the platform, Gu Yuena watched this scene with great concern. She couldn't understand why Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't just use the Thunder Scepter or the Ecstasy Sword to end the battle directly.

I don't understand why Chen Yi suddenly took things so seriously after we agreed to send him to the branch office.

Ning Qinglan, standing beside Gu Yuena, also frowned, but quickly relaxed. [I see.]

On the field, Chen Yi suddenly stopped her attack and held the Bone Dragon Sword horizontally in front of her. Then, silver starlight instantly lit up on the crystal-clear Bone Dragon Sword, making it look like a dream.

Qian Gu Huang Yu's movements stopped abruptly. She felt that the surrounding space was conveying an emotion of annoyance to her, as if the entire space was ostracizing her.

“Spatial confinement?” Qian Gu Huang Yu blurted out.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Chen Yi's eyes. "Good insight."

Despite this, Chen Yi's movements did not stop at all. She pointed the Seven Kill Sword forward, and the solidified sword energy transformed into a flying dragon, pouncing towards the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

Qian Gu Huang Yu had considered incorporating the power of space and even time into her sword intent, just like Chen Yi.

However, the time that Qian Gu Huang Yu has mastered these two attributes is still too short, and his control over them is far less than his control over the lightning attribute.

Therefore, even though she had this idea, Qian Gu Huang Yu was powerless to do so.

Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu had not yet made a response, Chen Yi's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

Just as Chen Yi was about to secretly withdraw her power, Qian Gu Huang Yu closed her eyes and let the flying dragon formed by Chen Yi's sword energy attack her.

The dragon roared, stirring up a fierce wind that whipped up its golden hair, but the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather remained unmoved.

She was comprehending, comprehending Chen Yi's sword intent. Her spiritual power was far beyond that of ordinary people. When it came to artistic conception, what her spiritual power perceived was far more real than what her eyes saw. What her eyes saw could even mislead her.

Just before the sword energy was about to strike Qian Gu Huang Yu, Qian Gu Huang Yu moved. She broke free from the spatial confinement and swept her sword horizontally with her right hand, unleashing a slender silver blade of light.

Although the light blade was slender, it contained extremely terrifying power. It was the result of extreme compression of space, a power that no plane could bear!
As the light blade flew, not only Chen Yi's sword energy, but even space itself cracked inch by inch, being cut by the light blade.

Chen Yi's pupils suddenly contracted. "His foundation is truly profound! Once he gains some understanding, he will transform into a dragon when the wind blows."

“However,” Chen Yi’s eyes suddenly narrowed, “it’s too early to think you can defeat me like this!”

Chen Yi crossed her arms in front of her chest, her two swords positioned at her sides. Her eyes slowly closed, and her entire aura vanished instantly.

If it weren't for the fact that she could be seen with one's own eyes, others would probably think that she had disappeared from the world.

After an unknown amount of time—perhaps a second, perhaps ten thousand years—Chen Yi suddenly opened her eyes, and within her azure pupils, it seemed as if lightning was hissing.

She swung her arms suddenly, combining her two swords to unleash a whirlwind-like sword aura forward.

Beside Chen Yi, an eerie and chilling aura permeated the air as if it were tangible. The chilling sword energy, carrying world-destroying power, spun wildly at a dizzying speed.

The silver-white sword energy was like a frost-covered blade, gleaming with a chilling light, and each sharp point seemed to be able to cleave space.

The blood-red sword energy seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying a strong, pungent, bloody stench, like countless wronged souls wailing in agony.

Two completely different yet equally violent sword energies intertwined and danced together. Wherever they passed, space was like a shattered mirror, covered with countless cracks, emitting a creaking sound as if it could not bear the weight.

The whistling sound of swirling sword energy seemed to herald the end of the world. The space-slicing strike of the Ancient Phoenix Feather was instantly shattered before it, unable to withstand even a second of resistance.

World annihilation is one of Chen Yi's most powerful offensive tactics.

This is the true essence of Chen Yi as a sword god. Not only does she possess two completely different sword intents, but she can also fuse them together without any repulsion.

Facing the incoming sword energy, Qian Gu Huang Yu kept her eyes tightly closed, as if she were not the one about to face annihilation.

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters... three meters, two meters, one meter, half a meter...

The distance between the World Destruction and the Ancient Phoenix Feather was less than half a meter, and even the space around the Ancient Phoenix Feather began to collapse, but the Ancient Phoenix Feather remained motionless.

"Why is Junior Sister standing still?" Seeing that the sword energy was about to attack Qian Gu Huang Yu, but she remained unmoved, Yue Hongchen finally lost his composure.

"Huang'er should have entered a state of enlightenment, but the timing wasn't very good..." Gu Yuena remained calm about it.

"Was I too impatient?" Chen Yi wondered to herself, seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu was still out of contact.

Because the sword strike that Qian Gu Huang Yu had just unleashed after gaining some enlightenment had truly surprised Chen Yi, Chen Yi wanted to put even more pressure on her to see if she could help Qian Gu Huang Yu reach the realm of Sword God in one fell swoop.

Just as Chen Yi was about to withdraw her attack, Qian Gu Huang Yu's pupils suddenly opened, and what Chen Yi met was a pair of golden pupils.

With a light touch of her toes, Qian Gu Huang Yu leaped up and met Chen Yi's sword energy head-on.

The audience's eyes widened instantly; in their view, this was tantamount to lambs to the slaughter, a sure path to certain death.

In the audience, many people covered their eyes, afraid to see Qian Gu Huang Yu severely injured and beaten to a bloody pulp.

However, what happened in the next instant challenged everyone's understanding: the world of Qian Gu Huang Yu and Chen Yi met in a world-destroying encounter.

However, the scene they had envisioned—the Ancient Phoenix Feather being severely injured—did not occur. Instead, after meeting, they slowly drifted apart, as if they were not in the same plane of existence.

Her wine-red pupils shone with golden light, yet Qian Gu Huang Yu's exquisite face remained expressionless, as if she were merely a passerby, an observer of a world.

The next instant, Qian Gu Huang Yu thrust out the sword in the tree in her hand. The whole movement was smooth and natural, as if she were the Great Dao and the world itself.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi subconsciously raised the Seven Kill Sword and the Bone Dragon Sword to block in front of her. At the same time, her aura suddenly changed, and the silver and red sword energies merged to form something that looked like a shield.

However, in the next instant, Chen Yi watched helplessly as the tree-in-the-feather sword in Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand pierced through her carefully designed defensive net and stabbed directly at her brow.

Chen Yi's pupils suddenly contracted, and for the first time since the start of the competition, a look of panic appeared on her cold, beautiful face.

【It's over.】Chen Yi knew that this sword strike, which transcended time and space, was something she could not dodge no matter what.

[Is this how it ends...? You have a good niece, but you have to walk the rest of the road alone...] In the end, Chen Yi closed her eyes and calmly accepted her fate.

However, the pain Chen Yi had expected did not occur; instead, she felt a warm sensation on her forehead.

Chen Yi opened her eyes and met a pair of wine-red eyes. She smiled at her, then closed her eyes and fainted.

Chen Yi instinctively hugged Qian Gu Huang Yu. Only then did she remember to touch her forehead; it was blood.

Just now, Qian Gu Huang Yu touched Chen Yi's forehead with her sword, but stopped in time.

Chen Yi looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu, who had fainted in her arms, and a smile appeared on her cold face.

The whole audience was shocked.

The audience was completely confused, from Chen Yi controlling Qian Gu Huang Yu to Qian Gu Huang Yu breaking through Chen Yi's attack with a single sword strike.

Then Chen Yi swiftly broke through all of Qian Gu Huang Yu's attacks. In the end, Qian Gu Huang Yu became immune to all attacks and knocked Chen Yi unconscious after striking her between the eyebrows with a sword.

This completely confused the audience. They felt that each time one side had an absolute advantage, and then the other side would turn the tables and regain the absolute advantage.

The advantage then shifted again, and Qian Gu Huang Yu fainted despite having a significant advantage.

"This...this match..., Tang Sect..." Although the commentator was completely confused about the situation, he still hurriedly prepared to announce that Chen Yi had won.

After all, he was someone Enci had specially arranged, and he already knew how important this competition was to the Star Luo Empire.

A smile appeared on Enci's face, even though he knew that neither he nor Chenyi could withstand the final sword strike of the Ancient Phoenix Feather.

That was definitely because Qian Gu Huang Yu used his last move, which led to the current result, but that doesn't stop En Ci from being happy about the victory.

Anyway, Chen Yi is still awake on the field, while Qian Gu Huang Yu has already fainted, so it's normal for Chen Yi to win.

Mu Tian's face beamed with joy. "My great undertaking is about to succeed!"

【Oh no!】 Yue Hongchen was completely flustered, never expecting things to develop this way.

However, at that moment, Chen Yi's voice suddenly rang out, "I lost this match. If she hadn't stopped at the last moment, I would have died without a doubt."

The host's expression froze instantly, momentarily at a loss for words. [How could they just concede defeat when victory was practically in their grasp?]

Mu Tian's eyelids twitched violently. "Wait a minute, Palace Master Chen, Qian Gu Huang Yu is already unconscious. You'll be the winner in the end..."

"A loss is a loss!" Chen Yi said coldly, then left without looking back, carrying the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather.

“This…” The host looked at Enci sitting on the stage. Now that things had come to this, it was no longer up to him to decide.

Enci sighed helplessly and telepathically told the host to announce the victory of Qian Gu Huang Yu.

"The Battle of the Five Gods, the Fourth Match, has been won by the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather!"

After the results were announced, Yue Hongchen and Gu Yuena left immediately. Ning Qinglan also left without lingering, saying goodbye to Dai Lingxun.

Dai Lingxun leaned back in her chair, somewhat dejected. This was the closest she had ever come to success in the entire Five Gods Challenge.

However, she couldn't blame Enci. Chenyi had already clearly admitted defeat, and Tangmen's help was indispensable in order to fight against the Sun Moon Federation's invasion. She could only allow them to admit defeat.

...

"Is it comfortable to hold?" Ning Qinglan caught up with Chen Yi and asked with a forced smile.

Chen Yi's expression suddenly changed. She knew that whenever Ning Qinglan showed this expression, she was about to be in big trouble.

"It's more comfortable when I'm not holding you," Chen Yi finally replied after racking her brains.

Ning Qinglan's smile deepened, but to Chen Yi it was even more terrifying. "When have you ever hugged me? Isn't it always me holding you and playing with you?"

A blush crept across Chen Yi's usually icy face. Just as she was about to explain, Ning Qinglan rushed up and pulled her into his arms.

"Yiyi, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright." How could Ning Qinglan not see that if the final sword, the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather, hadn't been used to protect them, they would already be separated by death forever?
"It's my fault. I never expected her to surpass me in the end," Chen Yi said with her eyes lowered and a hint of self-reproach in her voice.
