Chapter 692: Chapter 693: Shattering the Jade Ruyi

"Not good!"

Night Monarch instinctively sensed danger, his face suddenly changing.

He certainly didn’t have a body as sturdy as Chu Fengmian’s, and if touched by the War Dragon’s Claw, he feared he would be directly obliterated.

He hurriedly mobilized his Spiritual Power, simultaneously activating the Innate Jade Ruyi, directly enveloping himself with rainbow-colored auroras, preparing to withstand the bombardment of the War Dragon’s Claw.

But almost at that moment, the trajectory of the War Dragon’s Claw suddenly changed.

It didn’t reach out towards Night Monarch but instead charged straight at the Innate Jade Ruyi in the sky.

The Innate Jade Ruyi, as a heaven-level Spiritual Artifact, already had its own consciousness.

In the instant the War Dragon’s Claw reached out, it had already begun gathering the rainbow auroras as a defense.

"Shatter for me!"

Chu Fengmian bellowed furiously, with the War Dragon’s Claw, striking directly towards the Innate Jade Ruyi.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion.

Not just the arena, but all of Martial King City seemed to shake, the power of the collision making its strength palpably mighty.

"Crack!"

With a crisp cracking sound.

The rainbow-colored aura around the Innate Jade Ruyi began to show a crack, instantly shattered under the formidable power of the War Dragon’s Claw.

"This is bad!"

Night Monarch suddenly realized.

Chu Fengmian had worked so hard for so long, yet his true intention wasn’t to deal with him first.

It was to target the Innate Jade Ruyi.

Without the Innate Jade Ruyi, for Chu Fengmian to kill Night Monarch would be effortless.

In this critical moment, Night Monarch mobilized the power of the Innate Jade Ruyi to protect his true body, but this exactly left its own defenses wide open.

With the defenses of the Innate Jade Ruyi shattered, Chu Fengmian’s body moved, immediately seizing the Innate Jade Ruyi.

"Give it back!"

Night Monarch’s body jerked fiercely, regardless of everything, he concentrated all his Spiritual Power, charging at Chu Fengmian with a mighty strike.

"Chaotic Heaven and Earth!"

Behind Night Monarch, that shadowy figure, driven by his anger, became frenzied; with a roar, he concentrated Spiritual Power into a punch, striking at Chu Fengmian.

"I’m not interested in fighting you now, Black Xuan!"

Chu Fengmian looked at the charging Night Monarch, his expression turning icy. With a thought, the Black Profound Sword Formation immediately responded, encircling Night Monarch completely.

Streams of Spirit Swords frenziedly slashed at Night Monarch.

Chu Fengmian intended to use the Black Profound Sword Formation to delay Night Monarch’s actions, giving him time to deal with the Innate Jade Ruyi.

"Boom! Boom!"

The Innate Jade Ruyi, now in Chu Fengmian’s hands, was still struggling, trying to break free and recognize its master.

"Innate Jade Ruyi, no matter how powerful you are, you haven’t recognized a master yet. You want to resist me? War Dragon’s Might, suppress it for me!"

Chu Fengmian saw the Innate Jade Ruyi still trying to resist and coldly snorted.

Once the Innate Jade Ruyi broke free and fell into Night Monarch’s hands, finding such an opportunity would become almost impossible for Chu Fengmian.

The Innate Jade Ruyi, Chu Fengmian absolutely had to subdue it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The War Dragon Suppression constantly weighed down upon the Innate Jade Ruyi in Chu Fengmian’s possession.

Yet this Innate Jade Ruyi seemed to have been in contact with Night Monarch for a long time, having absorbed some chaos force, resisting the pressure of Chu Fengmian’s dragon might, preventing Chu Fengmian from refining it.

"Damn, a Spiritual Artifact with such power!"

Chu Fengmian’s expression turned cold.

With the Innate Jade Ruyi resisting like this, trying to refine it seemed almost impossible.

Even now, as it was suppressed by the Innate Jade Ruyi, it continued its relentless resistance against Chu Fengmian’s efforts to refine it.

"If that’s the case, then I shall destroy you!"

A ruthless look crossed Chu Fengmian’s face.

This Innate Jade Ruyi must not fall into Night Monarch’s hands again—if Chu Fengmian couldn’t refine it, he certainly wouldn’t let it be returned to Night Monarch for nothing.

The Sword Edge of Chu Fengmian’s Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword flashed out once more, and with a swing, Chu Fengmian struck directly upon the Innate Jade Ruyi.

"Clang!"

The two heavenly Spiritual Artifacts collided, their forces clashing with such intensity that they seemed evenly matched.

Yet the Innate Jade Ruyi was still overpowered by Chu Fengmian’s relentless strength, quickly diminishing its aura.

"Boom! Boom!"

The Innate Jade Ruyi continued desperately summoning Spiritual Power, trying to escape Chu Fengmian’s suppression.

Each of its impacts grew stronger, nearly managing to break free from Chu Fengmian’s control a few times.

However, Chu Fengmian knew that this was merely the last stand of the Innate Jade Ruyi—it hadn’t recognized a master, and without Night Monarch’s power to bolster it, it was incapable of turning the tables.

As the Innate Jade Ruyi’s impacts grew stronger, Chu Fengmian also mustered greater strength to subdue it.

In a flash, Chu Fengmian felt the Innate Jade Ruyi’s momentum weakening.

"Fortune!"

Chu Fengmian had long awaited this opportunity, and his sword’s innate power burst forth.

The force of creation surged along the Sword Edge of the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword, slashing fiercely.

Beneath this single strike, numerous cracks appeared on the Innate Jade Ruyi, and as the power of creation continued to erode, it finally shattered with a crisp sound.

Before Chu Fengmian, the heavenly Spiritual Artifact, the Innate Jade Ruyi, was directly shattered into countless pieces.

Destroying a heavenly Spiritual Artifact was heart-wrenching for Chu Fengmian, as the Innate Jade Ruyi was not just any artifact—it was once a renowned heavenly Spiritual Artifact within the Nine Domains.

However, there was no better solution at hand.

With a sweep of his hand, Chu Fengmian gathered all the fragments.

Even fragments of a heavenly Spiritual Artifact were treasures of immense value.

"Curses!"

Watching the Innate Jade Ruyi being turned into pieces by Chu Fengmian, Night Monarch’s heart bled.

This was a Spiritual Artifact he had obtained after countless dangers—one of his greatest trump cards.

Night Monarch had no intention of using the Innate Jade Ruyi before refining it, but facing Chu Fengmian’s fierce onslaught, he had been forced to bring it out.

But now, the Innate Jade Ruyi was reduced to mere fragments in Chu Fengmian’s hands.

Beyond anger, panic began to set in within Night Monarch’s heart.

His recent standoff against Chu Fengmian was greatly aided by the Innate Jade Ruyi.

Without it, whether he could still contend with Chu Fengmian was uncertain.
