Chapter 492: Five Elemental Sword Sutra

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

After Bear Mountain suffered the sneak attack, he realized that Qin Yun was stronger than he had expected!

Therefore, he had to attack with all he had!

"Boom!" Flame runes surfaced on Bear Mountain’s body. Azure-colored flames sparked to life around him.

Bathed in the azure-colored flames, Bear Mountain appeared even more terrifying.

"That is?"

"This is the Fire of the Azure Wood. Isn’t it a battle magi Dharmic formulation that uses the Fire of Azure Wood to temper one’s body?"

"And from the looks of it, he has mastered it. To temper one’s body with the Fire of the Azure Wood, one’s body would become invincible. His body is a lot stronger than before."

Many of the spectating Green Touring Palace disciples were very knowledgeable. After all, the Green Touring Palace’s Myriad Dharma Repository had in its collection such a battle magi Dharmic formulation. They had all seen it before.

However, it did not mean that they could cultivate in it.

"It’s no wonder his control over the Five Fires Calabash’s flames was that impressive."

"The flames contained in the Five Fires Calabash represent the five elements. One of them is the Fire of Azure Wood... I believe that when Bear Mountain sought the Five Fires Calabash way back, he did so to use the Fire of Azure Wood within to temper his body."

"His body has become even stronger. Perhaps only truly mighty figures can threaten him now."

"I would not dare say that he’s invincible among those beneath the level of mighty figures, but people beneath the mighty figure level... can at most lightly injure him."

These Green Touring Palace disciples were somewhat astonished.

A ninth firmament Skyimmortal of the Physical Establishing Sage lineage was strong to begin with.

He had also cultivated in a secondary battle magi lineage. Furthermore, it was clear that he had mastered it, making his body even stronger.

"Junior Brother Qin, take this."

Bear Mountain’s voice rumbled like thunder. He brandished his two hammers, each one of them like a plummeting star that smashed right at Qin Yun.

This was how the Dharma could be cracked with overwhelming force!

When one’s strength reached a staggering stage, all would be vanquished be it god or immortal.

"Go." Qin Yun’s strength elevated as well.

The Misty Rain Sword transformed into a glaring golden sword flash that streaked across the sky, clashing straight into the two hammers.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

Just a light brush was enough to change the directions of the two huge hammers. Even Bear Mountain’s expression was twisted.

Rip!

The sword flash was blindingly resplendent. It slashed across Bear Mountain’s abdomen, carving up a visible wound. Some blood splattered out, but the wound rapidly healed.

"Even stronger?" Bear Mountain frowned.

"His skin was just barely ruptured?" Qin Yun frowned as well. The Netherfiend Records were of utmost oddness. The techniques were typically very difficult to dodge, but the might they produced was relatively weaker. But the strike he had just used was a sword move from the Hundred Great White Yang Metal Sword Art. It was even sharper, but it only managed to rupture his opponent’s skin and make him bleed slightly.

"Even if I release another few dozen strikes to form a sword trend, I will probably only leave him slightly injured." Qin Yun understood this point. "This Bear Mountain’s body is stronger than I expected. He has also made a battle magi Dharmic formulation his secondary focus. Perhaps only a real mighty figure would be able to force him to admit defeat."

...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Both sides were embroiled in battle.

Bear Mountain released all his strength, each strike containing horrifying might. As for his safety, he didn’t even bother dodging.

Qin Yun used 300 Swords of Stellar Light to hold back the two hammers, causing their might to decrease greatly. His Intrinsic Flying Sword’s flashes were a thousand feet long as they attacked incessantly. The might of a supreme-grade Numinous treasure was enough to match Bear Mountain in battle.

"They are actually equal in battle?"

"This Junior Brother Qin really has the means for him to dare accept the challenge."

"But with Senior Brother Bear Mountain’s body being this powerful, it leaves him completely invincible! As for Junior Brother Qin, his body is much weaker. If he takes the full power of just one strike, he will likely be forced to surrender due to serious injuries."

Everyone spoke their mind.

Beings with powerful bodies were just like that.

Although they looked like they were taking light injuries, the effect on them was basically negligible.

"To think I still can’t take him down. The might of his flying sword is actually in no way inferior to mine." Bear Mountain was beginning to feel a little anxious as well.

"It’s about time." A glint flashed in Qin Yun’s eyes.

"Boom!!!"

The Intrinsic Flying Sword’s flash suddenly expanded to ten thousand feet wide, as its might reached a brand new level.

"What?" Bear Mountain felt that the Dao Exchange Platform’s void was being subjected to a formless repression. At that moment, the pressure bore down on his body, making his body feel heavier. It was ten times heavier than the pressure that came from the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm’s stellar forces.

The Intrinsic Flying Sword, which had a sword flash extending ten thousand feet, appeared like Pangu’s ax that split apart the Chaos as it cleaved down mightily.

Before touching Bear Mountain, he could feel that the repression was enough to make him suffer great pain.

"I’ll block it." Bear Mountain raised his hammers to block his front.

"Bam!"

The Intrinsic Flying Sword smote the hammers.

An incredible impact made Bear Mountain fly back involuntarily. He did not stop for several kilometers. When the ten-thousand-feet long Intrinsic Flying Sword came cleaving down again, Bear Mountain could only desperately fend it off with his pair of axes.

"Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!"

Six extremely heavy strikes hit him consecutively.

Every strike left Bear Mountain retreating.

Although he had a hideous look on his face as he tried his best to fend off the strikes amid angry roars, he was unable to withstand the terrifying force! He was famous for his strength... but the might of Qin Yun’s Intrinsic Flying Sword was even more formidable. Before the flying sword arrived, the spatial repression it conjured was already too horrifying.

"Pfft!"

Bear Mountain’s body slammed through the Dao Exchange Platform’s barrier as he flew out of the arena.

Six consecutive strikes!

Each like the mighty cleave of Pangu’s ax!

The six strikes were also like a blacksmith’s heavy blows!

In a blink of an eye, the strikes smashed Bear Mountain out of the Dao Exchange Platform’s zone.

"Pfft." Bear Mountain spewed out blood from his mouth. He looked in disbelief at Qin Yun and at his feet. He was already floating in midair, already out of the Dao Exchange Platform’s boundary.

"I... lost?" Bear Mountain found it unbelievable.

"Senior Brother Bear Mountain has lost?"

"Junior Brother Qin won?"

Everyone was stunned.

When Bear Mountain revealed his battle magi Dharmic formulation, most Green Touring Palace disciples believed that Bear Mountain was likely to clinch victory.

However, the outcome was unbelievable.

"Qin Yun, he..." Even Ancestral Master Zhang found it unbelievable.

"Impressive. Impressive." Dragon King Ao Fang nodded.

And standing on a cloud far away, the white-robed Senior Brother Sa Xu said with a smile, "Interesting. He actually managed to master Eldest Senior Brother’s Five Elemental Sword Sutra. From the looks of it, his Intrinsic Flying Sword has reached the supreme-grade Numinous treasure level. However, his Dharmic powers are relatively weaker. If he can raise his Dharmic powers, he could probably threaten a mighty figure or two. And although he might not be a threat to mighty figures at present, he is definitely the cream of the crop among ninth firmament Skyimmortals."

"Was that sword move from before Eldest Senior Brother’s Five Elemental Sword Sutra?"

"Yes, I cultivated in the Five Elemental Sword Sutra before. Although Junior Brother Qin’s strike had a few modifications, it should still be the Five Elemental Sword Mountain from the Five Elemental Sword Sutra. However, this strike requires a deep understanding of the five elements. Junior Brother Qin has only cultivated for a relatively short time. How is he able to deliver such an attack?"

"Five Elemental Sword Sutra? Eldest Senior Brother’s Five Elemental Sword Sutra?"

"This strike bears great resemblance to the Five Elemental Sword Sutra’s Five Elemental Sword Mountain, but there are differences as well."

Many sharp-eyed Green Touring Palace disciples were astonished.

The Green Touring Palace’s Eldest Senior Brother held an extremely high standing in the Three Realms.

His Five Elemental Sword Sutra was naturally witnessed by many. However, most people who saw it would be like Qin Yun, lacking the courage to truly cultivate in it.

It was because it was overly complicated.

Choosing any of the Five Directions and Five Elements and cultivating it to an extremely profound state was enough to make one a Golden Immortal.

In that case, why did one need to simultaneously study all five elements?

"His body is too strong. All I can do is send him out of the arena," thought Qin Yun.

His strike was none other than the Five Elemental Sword Sutra’s Five Elemental Sword Mountain.

After his Intrinsic Flying Sword broke through, Qin Yun discovered the concept of baffling Chaos within his Intrinsic Flying Sword. It was formed from the extraction of the Chaos Pure Gold. It gave him inspiration and, after pondering over it, his insights grew deeper. His Sword Dao also turned more profound. He even gained a new appreciation of the five sword manuals he cultivated, allowing him to view them from a different angle.

For instance, the Five Elemental Sword Mountain... appeared to have been the result of deep study into the five elements, fusing them together before combining them to produce such an utterly devastating attack.

"Chaos is the source of everything. Be it the Heavenly Cycle cosmos, or the Five Directions and Five Elements, just grasping a hint of the baffling Chaos concept allows many strikes to immediately be perfected when delivered. My Cyclic Sword Flash has become more perfected as a result. I was able to cast Five Elemental Sword Mountain with some modifications as well," thought Qin Yun.

...

There was an uproar around Dao Exchange Platform. This battle had indeed left everyone in shock.

Bear Mountain stood in midair, dazed for quite a while before he flew towards Dao Exchange Platform and landed in front of Qin Yun.

"Junior Brother Qin." Bear Mountain looked at Qin Yun. "I’ve lost and have nothing more to say." With a flip of his hand, he took out the Five Fires Calabash.

"This is yours."

He threw the Five Fires Calabash at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun grabbed it while Bear Mountain turned around and flew off.
