"Even if they are the stars in the sky, I will cut them down."
Jingliu murmured to herself, shrouded under the shadow of the Lightning Lord.
She took a deep breath, and the auras of "The Destruction" and "The Hunt" surged and mingled upon her body.
"Relying on the sword in my hand!"
As she spoke, Jingliu extended her hand.
In her palm, an ice-blue stream of light, resembling the crystalline body of Fuli, lit up. In the next second, the flowing light converged directly into the shape of a sword, constructing a tangible blade!
Jingliu grasped this sword of Dao verification!
This was a sword capable of liberating one from all bindings, and also a sword she had been familiar with for many years.
Thrust forward, it meets no obstruction; raised, it has no equal above; pressed down, it has no depth below; wielded, it has no equal beside.
Above, it can cleave the floating clouds; below, it can sever the Earth's discipline!
It originated from the beginning of everything, the Cangcheng Disturbance of Star Calendar Year 6300. It was also the embodiment of Jingliu's life in miniature.
It was not cast from mortal iron, but formed from a section of unmelting ice. Gloomy and containing light, like holding a ray of moonlight in one's hand.
The sword, three feet and seven inches long, light as if it were nothing!
"Draw your sword, Jing Yuan."
She stood there quietly, yet she made one feel as if they were facing an abyss. Even looking at the entire galaxy, she was located at the apex of the pyramid.
Not losing to Polka, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Zephyro.
The incomparably powerful strength of an "Emanator" was revealed without a doubt from her body!
The Eighth Lord Ravager, benchmarking the Path of "The Abundance".
—Born today!
Just like many Lord Ravagers who had a previous Path affiliation, this newly born Lord Ravager was no exception. She was a Xianzhou native symbolizing "The Hunt", and at the same time, an Emanator of "The Hunt" reborn through Golden Blood.
She transformed within "The Hunt" and turned towards "The Destruction"!
"Master, I am no longer the me of back then."
Jing Yuan reached out, and the formation glaive, later named 'Stone Fire Dream Body', was retrieved by him from the Path Space.
"Please enlighten me!"
His expression was grave and serious.
Jing Yuan raised his glaive and pointed it straight at Jingliu. In the palm of the Lightning Lord behind him, a formation glaive made of bright yellow thunder, modeled after the Stone Fire Dream Body but much larger, also appeared.
Jingliu did not speak.
Only the golden flames of "The Destruction" climbed up the right half of the ice sword, and the blue flames of "The Hunt" followed closely, climbing up the left half!
The power of a Lord Ravager was revealed through these dual Paths!
"Radiant Spirit, heed my command!"
Jing Yuan held the Stone Fire Dream Body with both hands, and the colossal Lightning Lord behind him repeated this action, holding the glaive.
The aura of "The Hunt", capable of contending with Jingliu, echoed throughout this entire space of the Skysplitter!
"Show no mercy!"
Jing Yuan swung his blade at Jingliu, the Lightning Lord synchronizing with him one-to-one!
In this strike, he held nothing back.
—He used his full power as an "Emanator", as a Heavenly General of the Reignbow! The accumulations of hundreds of years were all within this single strike!
Master, the dream, it is time to wake up! Your plan is too dangerous; the Imbibitor Lunae Sedition should not happen a second time!
Thinking this, Jing Yuan's Stone Fire Dream Body and the thunder formation glaive in the Lightning Lord's hand both swept towards Jingliu!
Facing the mighty momentum coming straight at her, Jingliu showed no reaction.
"Let this round of moonlight—"
She merely pulled her right leg back slightly, lowering her body.
"Illuminate the myriad rivers!"
Jingliu flipped the body of the ice sword, and the strike belonging to a Lord Ravager was unleashed!
Clang!
The ice sword, empowered by two Paths, clashed directly with the awe-inspiring formation glaive of the Arbiter's Heavenly General's Lightning Lord!
Beneath the colossal body of the Lightning Lord, Jingliu was as small as an ant. Yet, small as she was, she still received the Lightning Lord's blade!
Boom—!!!
Flashing yellow thunder raged, contending with the dual-colored flames! The full-force clash of two "Emanators" created shockwaves sufficient to easily swallow several galaxies in an instant.
"General Leon protects the myriad people; he truly is a gentleman!"
Luocha, who was being protected by him, frantically kissed up to him.
If it weren't for Leon providing a safety net from the side, intentionally protecting the Skysplitter and even the entire Luofu, this place would have long been razed to the ground.
Jing Yuan shouted loudly, gripping the hilt tightly! The force in his hands, as well as the output of Imaginary Energy, escalated another tier in an instant!
Golden thunder flickered in the sky! The Lightning Lord, wielding the blade with full force, vaguely possessed the momentum of breaking ten thousand techniques with a single force!
But in the next second, accompanied by a swish—
The energy body of the Lightning Lord was cut in half at the waist by Jingliu's single strike!
Jing Yuan was shaken back by this, his face written full of shock. Before he could recover his senses, the sword, showing no signs of stopping, was already directed at him!
Looking at the sword glare close at hand, Jing Yuan's pupils contracted. After cutting down the Lightning Lord, Jingliu's sword rushed straight for his neck!
Just as the ice sword, occupied by dual-colored flames, was about to sever Jing Yuan's head and take his life...
The wielder suddenly held her hand, stopping the sword with perfect control.
The blade edge stopped at Jing Yuan's neck, advancing no further. Because the distance was too close, the superposition of the scorching heat of "The Destruction" and the freezing cold of "The Hunt" on the sword caused Jing Yuan great discomfort.
"...I lost."
After a long while, his lips moved, a bitter smile hanging on his face. He spoke the result of this confrontation.
There was nothing to say; wasn't his loss obvious enough?
Jingliu's strike was quite unpretentious, with no technique to speak of. It was all sheer, hearty stats!
"Jing Yuan, you have slacked off; your strength has regressed."
Hearing this, Jingliu withdrew her sword. At the same time, she dispersed the dual-colored flames covering it, converging the power back into her body.
"I do not deny it. Since becoming General, I have indeed rarely gone to the battlefield personally."
Jing Yuan did not deny the issue of slacking off. After all, it could be seen from the fact that he was known as a General of Wisdom; after becoming General, the number of times he deployed orders from the rear far exceeded the times he went into battle to kill enemies.
"I had managed to win against Master once with great difficulty before, but this time I've thoroughly lost face."
Jing Yuan referred to that time she fought as a Pathstrider against him as an "Emanator". That was one of his few...
Uh, let's not say few; it was the only time. Jing Yuan had competed in martial arts with Jingliu many times, but as the disciple, he had never won against his master. That instance of bullying the small with the big was his only win.
It was a comprehensive crushing of a Pathstrider by an Emanator, and also Jing Yuan's formal graduation.
But once they were both Emanators, this graduation was handed right back. This confrontation illustrated it well.
If Jingliu had also been an "Emanator" back then, what would the final result of the two have been?
To be honest, Jing Yuan felt very surprised by this confrontation. He naturally thought Jingliu could win, and that her chances of winning were extremely high. Nonsense, that wasn't just a Lord Ravager, but also a Hunt Emanator like himself! It would be strange if she couldn't win!
But the surprise lay in the fact that she won truly too fast. It was merely a single encounter; no different from an instant kill.
Among the Heavenly Generals of the Reignbow, Jing Yuan, known for Wisdom, naturally leaned towards the type not adept at fighting. But even so, Jingliu won too easily.
In Jing Yuan's preset scenario, the two should have determined a winner within four moves. After all, no matter how inept at fighting, he had brought out his full power this time!
The full power of a Heavenly General of the Reignbow shouldn't be unable to last even a single encounter, right? One must know that even if a Lord Ravager came, he could still exchange two moves with them.
Facts proved that Jing Yuan had ultimately underestimated the intensity of Jingliu's ascension. Or rather, he underestimated the improvement the Golden Blood brought her.
Actually, thinking about it carefully, Jing Yuan's loss wasn't unjust. In terms of main body intensity, he was inferior to Jingliu. In terms of cheat-like stats, the Lightning Lord indeed couldn't compare to the Golden Blood.
The purity of this Golden Blood, even speaking conservatively, was at least comparable to two Divine Firmament Thunder Mansion Chief Directors of Thunder and Devil-Sweeping Heavenly Monarchs.
Since that was the case, what else was there to say? Inferior in every aspect, wasn't losing a very normal thing?
Jing Yuan lamented inwardly at the size of the cheat Leon gave. The stats piled up by "Aeon" level creations truly deserved the phrase 'terrifying thus'!
"You have already surpassed the blue from which you were derived."
Jingliu replied indifferently, without a hint of the joy of a victor. Her current stats were temporarily borrowed. Later, if she couldn't beat Leon, she would have to return them!
Jingliu knew this well. Don't look at how instantly killing Jing Yuan made her appear very strong right now. In reality, her current strength had only just reached the threshold to see Leon. She was currently in the second phase of the plan.
"The Hunt" and "The Destruction" gathered in one body—her specific strength should be about the same as Zephyro? Anyway, fighting Jing Yuan was okay, but against Leon, she probably wouldn't even rank.
Because Zephyro had just died at his hands not long ago. So, to avoid this situation from happening, she had to make herself the Complete Form of the plan.
Only then could she have the qualifications to contend with Leon, and even compete for high and low!
"Give the Lightning Lord to me."
Jingliu's voice carried an imperceptible urgency.
"The eternal peace the Alliance seeks will be opened by me with the death of The Abundance."
She firmly believed that the path she walked was the correct one, firmly believing that the plan could achieve the killing of The Abundance!
"I accept my loss; naturally, I will not break the contract."
Jing Yuan sighed; had it finally come to this step? He extended his hand towards Jingliu.
Undoubtedly, Jing Yuan initiated the transfer of personal ownership of the Lightning Lord to her. Jingliu grasped his hand back, quietly waiting to complete the plan once the Lightning Lord was in hand.
And far away on the horizon, Hua, perceiving the private transaction occurring between the two, sensed something strange.
The ownership of these Radiant Spirit authorities like the Lightning Lord did not lie with the Heavenly Generals themselves, but with the Marshal. The Heavenly Generals only had usage rights; as the Marshal, Hua was the true wielder of authority over these Radiant Spirits.
Whether it was the succession of a General or the transfer of a Radiant Spirit, it definitely had to be agreed upon by her.
Hua was just about to exclaim 'What is the meaning of this', when she thought of the words Huaiyan had reported earlier.
The Luofu currently seems to have some problem, and the Lightning Lord is what is needed to solve this problem. Anyway, Leon is there for after-sales service, so why care so much?
Thinking of this, the Marshal let go and permitted this suddenly initiated private transaction. Let them make a fuss.
And so, Jingliu successfully took over the Lightning Lord from Jing Yuan.
"Is it time to serve the main course?"
Jing Yuan said, shifting his gaze to Luocha's coffin.
"The full picture of your plan, and what exactly is stored inside there. It is time to lift the curtain on the unknown."
Jing Yuan was very curious—curious about what kind of great killer weapon she had prepared for The Abundance. Hiding it so deeply, one could guess it was impossible to be any simple goods.
"Of course. The Xianzhou always pays attention to 'seeing is believing'."
Jingliu gave Luocha a look, signaling him to open it. If they spoke of the thing in this coffin, probably no one would believe they could obtain such top-tier goods. Seeing is believing was indeed the most convincing.
"Hehe, this is what we offer."
Luocha smiled and gently patted the coffin. It opened slowly as if it possessed vitality.
"The method to contend with a god."
Accompanied by the opening of the coffin, the scene inside was gradually revealed before everyone's eyes.
Jing Yuan stood frozen in place, but his eyes stared dead at the coffin. The aura coming from inside... was quite wrong.
If his senses weren't mistaken, the thing contained in this coffin... was related to "The Propagation"?!
Alarm bells rang loudly in Jing Yuan's heart, and a bad premonition arose abruptly.
"—The remains of the Aeon of 'The Propagation', Tayzzyronth!"
The words Luocha spoke thoroughly confirmed Jing Yuan's uneasy premonition.
Are you kidding me? A part of an "Aeon's" divine body—how on earth did these two manage to get this thing?
Jing Yuan frowned tightly. No wonder Jingliu was so confident; this explained it. An "Aeon" remnant—the content of such a thing was several times higher than even the Golden Blood of Destruction!
One must know that Iron Tomb, who could compete with the Aeon of "The Erudition", was calculated and formed from a stellar computer that was once part of Nous's divine body!
"The Propagation" Divine Body + "The Destruction" Lord Ravager + "The Hunt" Lightning Lord.
And the unexpected joy: the position of Emanator of "The Hunt" that Leon, along with the Golden Blood, had attached to her.
Also, this blond outlander's coffin might have to be counted in the list later. To be able to hold an "Aeon" divine body without being eroded, could this be an ordinary mortal object?
Without Jingliu needing to speak, at this moment, Jing Yuan also understood what the full picture of her plan truly was. He also understood where the confidence of her clamoring came from.
"...Are you crazy?"
Jing Yuan felt Jingliu had truly gone mad; she dared to taint even this "Path".
This was "The Propagation"!
Some might think Jing Yuan was making a fuss over nothing, but this was a reaction that couldn't be more normal. Let's put it this way: among the Eighteen Paths, seventeen Paths are half-good half-bad. But "The Propagation" is entirely negative!
The Swarm left behind by Tayzzyronth is still poisoning the universe to this day. The Swarm, the Denizens of Abundance, and the Borisin are collectively called the Three Great Calamities of the Universe.
No matter who you ask in the galaxy, if you can get a single good review regarding "The Propagation"... count it as Jing Yuan's loss, alright!
With such high gold content, did the danger level even need to be stated explicitly?
"What the hell is that? Isn't that just a dead bug?"
Leon could sense the "Aeon" aura upon it. But that was where it ended; in his view, it was completely insufficient to be surprised or amazed by.
No, you poser, hiding it so deep, I thought there was something big. After all that, it turns out to be just this?
To others, perhaps this work was big enough, but to Leon, it was truly boring to the extreme.
Dead guys should just stay properly in their coffins; don't come out and hinder things. Let alone a tiny remnant body, Leon had even seen the artificial revival of "The One" back in Penacony.
That thing had more style than this; what did this count for? Leon had even personally been an "Aeon".
Just a corpse; it really wasn't worth him giving any reaction. That fake "The One" had already died by his hands; this time, the fake "Propagation" would be no accident either.
"D... Dead bug?"
Luocha never expected this evaluation. This General Chang was so fierce that he didn't even put an "Aeon" in his eyes at all?
