Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 417: Chapter 417: The Sword of Death, Breaking the Will of Heaven and Earth

Above a remote stretch of sea in the Tenth Sea Region.

The void rippled.

Two figures emerged.

It was Ye Yun and Liu Yiyi.

After setting up the Divine-level Array on Skyreach Island and giving instructions to Jiang Hengyue, Ye Yun and Liu Yiyi departed Skyreach Island and arrived in the Tenth Sea Region.

The Tenth Sea Region was even more remote, with few islands. Ye Yun planned to break through to the Divine Sovereign Realm here.

”Brother Yun, the breakthrough from the Divine Monarch Realm to the Divine Sovereign Realm is an extremely difficult hurdle, and the opportunity only comes once. Many who fail to break through are unable to attempt it again for the rest of their lives.”

Liu Yiyi’s delicate jade hand held Ye Yun’s as she spoke softly, ”Brother Yun, perhaps you should prepare a little longer? Doing so would increase your chances of a successful breakthrough.”

”What you’re saying applies to cultivators from the Divine Land... but it’s completely useless for a native of the Cangnan Continent like me, you know.”

Ye Yun gazed at Liu Yiyi with a faint smile, then suddenly reached out and gently tapped her fair, delicate nose.

Liu Yiyi’s face instantly turned beet-red.

She had been speaking seriously with Ye Yun and hadn’t expected to be teased in return.

But it had often been like this between them a hundred thousand years ago.

Liu Yiyi had long grown accustomed to it.

Gazing at Liu Yiyi, who was blushing like a red apple, Ye Yun’s vision blurred for a moment, as if many memories from a hundred thousand years ago resurfaced.

The first time he saw Liu Yiyi, she was an icy Sword Goddess.

Back then, as the foremost rogue of the Cangnan Continent, he had racked his brains trying to get close to this cold goddess. After employing all sorts of methods, he finally managed to capture her heart.

It had been anything but easy.

Ye Yun also suddenly remembered that Liu Yiyi had a nominal fiancé a hundred thousand years ago, whom he had beaten half to death.

That young man, terrified by Ye Yun, had quickly gone to the Liu family’s residence and hastily annulled the engagement.

Liu Yiyi’s parents had been quite furious at the time...

Recalling these past events, Ye Yun found them rather amusing now.

Perhaps back then, in his youth, wild and unrestrained, he had lived a bit like Wei Xiaobao from ”The Deer and the Cauldron.”

”Regardless, I still hope Brother Yun will be extra careful. Many have been injured by the heavenly tribulation when breaking through this realm and needed a long period of rest to recover.”

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yiyi spoke with immense tenderness.

”Don’t worry, my beautiful Yiyi.”

Ye Yun laughed heartily, then turned and moved away from Liu Yiyi.

The next moment, he appeared tens of thousands of miles away.

He was surrounded by vast waters, with no islands in sight.

It was a perfect place for a breakthrough.

WHOOSH!

Ye Yun’s body suddenly ascended, positioning him tens of thousands of feet high in the sky. He circulated the immense mana within his body and began to push towards the Divine Sovereign Realm.

Ye Yun had long been separated from the Divine Sovereign Realm by only a paper-thin barrier.

All he needed was a gentle push to break through.

BOOM!

Ye Yun’s body trembled, and his aura instantly surged dramatically.

In that moment, Ye Yun broke through to the Divine Sovereign Realm.

Next, he would have to undergo the baptism of the heavenly tribulation.

From a distance, Liu Yiyi watched this scene, her beautiful eyes wide with utter shock.

He broke through so quickly?

Brother Yun just went over there; how did he suddenly break through to the Divine Sovereign Realm?

When did... breaking through to the Divine Sovereign Realm become as easy as drinking water or eating a meal? This is too incredible!

Liu Yiyi recalled the ancient records within her Sect: any cultivator at the Divine Monarch Realm wishing to break through to the Divine Sovereign Realm had to make all sorts of meticulous preparations, and even then, success was only a possibility.

Who would have thought Ye Yun’s breakthrough would be so effortless?

RUMBLE!

In the sky, vast, thick dark clouds suddenly gathered. Streaks of blood-red lightning, like giant dragons, continuously darted through the cloud layers.

Even before the lightning struck, an astonishingly terrifying aura emanated from it.

All creatures in the sea below had long since fled to a safe distance.

Hiding far away, Liu Yiyi’s expression changed drastically when she felt the aura of the blood-red lightning.

It’s too terrifying.

Each bolt of this Divine Sovereign Realm’s heavenly tribulation is so terrifying; with my current strength, I probably couldn’t even withstand a single one.

The weather in the Tenth Sea Region suddenly changed. Although concentrated in a small area, the terrifying aura permeated the entire Tenth Sea Region.

Even many islands in the Ninth Sea Area sensed the terrifying aura, causing numerous cultivators to flee their islands in panic.

”Come on!”

Ye Yun looked up at the blood-red lightning in the sky, his eyebrows raised, a scornful laugh escaping him.

He possessed the Ancestral Dragon Body, the Indestructible Body of Ten Thousand Tribulations; any heavenly tribulation was like a mere tickle to him.

CRACK!

Dozens of blood-red lightning bolts, like blood dragons, suddenly descended from mid-air.

Under normal circumstances, when facing such heavenly tribulations, most cultivators would have to endure them with their physical bodies because the baptism of the heavenly tribulation would bring about a qualitative change in their bodies.

But Ye Yun didn’t need to.

He threw a punch upwards.

BOOM!

Those dozens of blood-red lightning bolts were instantly shattered.

RUMBLE!

A dull, furious roar echoed from within the clouds.

It seemed the will of heaven and earth had been enraged by the tiny human below. The clouds churned rapidly, and streaks of even thicker blood-red lightning continuously emerged from within.

Each bolt of blood-red lightning resembled a blood-red giant dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it descended from the sky.

Why are they dragon-shaped?

Ye Yun’s brow furrowed slightly. Could this heavenly tribulation... also be related to the Dragon Clan?

Just as this thought occurred to him, those dozens of massive blood-red lightning bolts, each tens of zhang wide, descended upon his head.

Brother Yun will be fine... But why did he suddenly stop moving?

Far away, Liu Yiyi clenched her fists tightly, her palms slick with sweat.

Her heart pounded in terror as she watched the colossal blood-red lightning in the distance. Her soul trembled, and her delicate body quivered slightly.

Ye Yun paid no mind to the blood-red lightning.

As it neared, he punched out again.

BOOM!

The surrounding void shattered. Along with it, the countless blood-red lightning dragons also disintegrated. Shattered electrical currents rained down into the seawater around.

The turbulent sea constantly churned up monstrous waves.

”Wow, Brother Yun is handling such a powerful heavenly tribulation so easily! He truly is the unbeatable number one expert of the Eternal Realm from Cangnan Continent,” Liu Yiyi exclaimed excitedly, her composure forgotten.

She seemed to recall again those magnificent scenes from a hundred thousand years ago when Brother Yun swept away all opposition.

Back then, there were many evil factions on the Cangnan Continent.

At least half of them were slain by Ye Yun.

The peace that the Cangnan Continent later enjoyed was mostly thanks to her Brother Yun.

”If this is all you’ve got, you’re no match for me. I suggest you pack up and go home.”

Ye Yun looked at the dark clouds in the void and spoke calmly.

RUMBLE!

The powerful will within the dark clouds seemed to be provoked. The clouds roiled violently, and a colossal blood-red eye emerged from within the churning black clouds.

”Still want more?”

Ye Yun sneered.

WHOOSH!

He suddenly soared into the sky, straight towards the depths of the clouds. Drawing his sword, he thrust it towards the Blood Eye in the sky.

Binary Sword Chant.

Sword of Death Realm. When this sword struck, nothing in the world could block it.

An unimaginably terrifying sword light rose into the sky. It appeared slow but was incredibly fast, reaching the thick cloud layer in an instant.

SWOOSH!

The thick dark clouds were rent asunder by the sharp Sword Qi, and the countless blood-red lightning bolts within were also cleaved apart.

The blood-red eye stared in shock at the sword light from below.

It realized that even it could not block that human’s sword strike.

WHOOSH!

The sword light flashed.

The Sword of Death Realm pierced the blood-red eye.

BOOM!

With a heaven-shattering explosion, the blood-red eye instantly burst apart.

As the blood-red eye disintegrated, the vast black clouds frantically fled in all directions, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The entire sky transitioned from dark to bright, returning to its azure state.

Employing the Binary Sword Chant, Ye Yun, with just one strike from the Sword of Death Realm, had annihilated the will of the heavenly tribulation!

Is this the Sword of Death Realm?

In the distance, Liu Yiyi, witnessing the world-shaking sword strike, was so stunned that her delicate body stiffened, and she was rendered speechless.
