Chapter 691: Chapter 692: Plan Successful

As soon as the Innate Jade Ruyi appeared, it directly manifested a halo of light with Ye Tianjun’s control.

Chu Fengmian’s Sword Qi struck upon this halo, hissing as it did, but all its power was neutralized by the light.

This Innate Jade Ruyi was a chance encounter Ye Tianjun had found within one of the six ancient cave dwellings in the Void Sea, namely the dwelling of Ruyi Jun.

Chu Fengmian obtained the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s dwelling and acquired the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword, yet the fortune Ye Tianjun encountered was not the least bit inferior.

The Innate Jade Ruyi was a true Heavenly Spiritual Artifact, and even among countless Heavenly Spiritual Artifacts, it was famous in its own right.

Ruyi Jun once roamed the Nine Domains, relying on this very Innate Jade Ruyi.

Now that the Innate Jade Ruyi had fallen into Ye Tianjun’s hands, it was a tremendous boost, capable of doubling his strength.

"The Innate Jade Ruyi is indeed in Ye Tianjun’s hands," thought Chu Fengmian to himself upon seeing Ye Tianjun wielding it.

It was no surprise that Ye Tianjun possessed the Innate Jade Ruyi after obtaining Ruyi Zi’s dwelling.

However, the defense of the Innate Jade Ruyi was much stronger than Chu Fengmian had imagined.

Even his Sword Qi was unable to break through.

In this way, it was definitely a formidable challenge.

Although the offensive capabilities of the Innate Jade Ruyi were not strong, its defensive power was absolutely among the top ranks of Heavenly Spiritual Artifacts.

It would not be easy for Chu Fengmian to break through.

Before defeating Ye Tianjun, he must first deal with the Innate Jade Ruyi.

"This Innate Jade Ruyi seems to have not been refined by Ye Tianjun yet?"

Chu Fengmian immediately observed that the power displayed on the Innate Jade Ruyi was still very pure, without any hint of chaotic energy.

Ye Tianjun, as a being with a Divine Body that thrived on chaos, should have imparted chaotic energy into any Spiritual Artifact he refined. But there was none on the Innate Jade Ruyi.

Chu Fengmian scrutinized and soon discovered the problem.

The Innate Jade Ruyi, although powerful, was an artifact of utmost purity and clarity.

And Ye Tianjun’s power of chaos was precisely at odds with the power of the Innate Jade Ruyi.

Thus, it was not easy for Ye Tianjun to refine the Innate Jade Ruyi. It seemed he had not had it long enough to fully assimilate it.

Ye Tianjun was currently only channeling Spiritual Power to utilize the power of the Innate Jade Ruyi, but since it was not refined, it also meant that others could seize the opportunity to snatch it away.

Rather than breaking through the defense of the Innate Jade Ruyi, it would be simpler to take it directly.

In an instant, Chu Fengmian thought of a strategy to counter the Innate Jade Ruyi.

"Kid, give up. Your sword can’t even break through my defense."

With the Innate Jade Ruyi in hand, the arrogance on Ye Tianjun’s face grew even more pronounced.

"Can’t break through?"

Chu Fengmian’s mouth curled into a slightly mocking smile.

"In this world, there’s nothing I can’t break through!"

As soon as Chu Fengmian’s words fell, he wasted no further words and his body moved again.

Holding the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword, Chu Fengmian took a step forward, pressing in on Ye Tianjun, and countless Sword Qi slashed out instantaneously.

At the same time, as Chu Fengmian’s thoughts moved, the sword array surrounding him also began to fly, forming a massive killing formation that directly encircled Lord Ye Tian within it.

The power of a hundred thousand Spirit Swords condensed into a single point and transformed into the most colossal sword array, which suddenly descended from the sky.

These two moves appeared almost simultaneously, leaving Lord Ye Tian with no possibility of evasion.

"Naive!"

Seeing the myriad of attacks coming toward him, Lord Ye Tian maintained his usual arrogance with a sneer, and he began to activate the Innate Jade Ruyi again.

Beams of multicolored dawn light slowly cascaded down from the Innate Jade Ruyi, enveloping Lord Ye Tian’s body within them.

Countless Sword Qi struck the multicolored light, all to no avail, each one repelled.

Even the killing formation made up of a hundred thousand Spirit Swords was powerless against the Innate Jade Ruyi.

Chu Fengmian relentlessly launched fierce attacks, seemingly attempting to break through the defense of the Innate Jade Ruyi.

But every bit of Sword Qi and Sword Edge that struck the Innate Jade Ruyi was directly bounced off; not a single Sword Edge could truly shake its defense.

At the same time, the onlooking crowd could also tell that Chu Fengmian’s offensive seemed fierce.

Yet now, each Sword Edge’s power could not compare to the beginning, as if he had already expended a great deal of Spiritual Power.

In the bodies of powerful martial artists, Spiritual Power is also limited.

Such a fierce onslaught, the consumption of Spiritual Power within one’s body, would certainly be a tremendous burden.

Lord Ye Tian watched this scene with a cold chuckle in his heart.

He hid within the glow of the Innate Jade Ruyi, hardly needing to spend any Spiritual Power, and as he watched Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power weaken, his smile grew even more brilliant.

He knew that the moment Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Power was completely exhausted would be the moment he would strike and slay Chu Fengmian.

"Hiss!"

Chu Fengmian, holding the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword, once again unleashed a stroke of Sword Light fiercely slashing through.

This strike, landing on the multicolored light around Lord Ye Tian, was still effortlessly neutralized.

But at the instant he launched that strike, Chu Fengmian’s body visibly stalled, appearing as though he was nearly depleted of Spiritual Power.

This scene was directly observed by Lord Ye Tian.

"Boy, had enough? Now it’s your turn to die!"

Lord Ye Tian suddenly laughed out loud, his Spiritual Power surging to form a long stick, dispersing the surrounding multicolored light and slamming it toward Chu Fengmian.

In Lord Ye Tian’s view, it was the perfect time to take down Chu Fengmian when he was low on Spiritual Power—this was his best chance.

But what Lord Ye Tian failed to notice,

was the trace of a smile that suddenly appeared at the corner of Chu Fengmian’s mouth the moment the multicolored light shattered.

"Is that so? The one who should die is you!"

Chu Fengmian sneered.

His momentarily stalled form instantly moved; the Spiritual Power that had seemed exhausted recovered completely in an instant.

The Sword Array around him had already coalesced, transforming into an immense Spirit Sword that immediately descended, shattering the force of Lord Ye Tian’s stick attack.

At the same time, Chu Fengmian’s right hand morphed into the form of a War Dragon’s Claw, directly lunging at Lord Ye Tian with a ferocious grab.

"Boom!"

The formation of the War Dragon’s Claw was almost instantaneous, and it had already fiercely reached for the true body of Lord Ye Tian.
