Yuan’s Ascension

Chapter 507: Celestial Body True Intent (2)

Like the previous matches, the 786th sparring match was held inside the colossal spherical combat space.

Swish! Swish! Four blade rays tore through the sky, instantly gathering countless streams of earthy yellow light, forming four miniature stars that erupted violently.

The terrifying explosion force caused the space to tremble.

The two enormous sword arrays of his opponent, resembling water dragons, were instantly torn to shreds by the fearsome blade rays.

Rain poured from the sky and countless flying swords plummeted.

Wu Yuan stood like a war god amidst the cascading waters, his aura overwhelming, the qi streams around him exuding formidable power.

"Wu Zun, do you wish to continue?" Wu Yuan's voice boomed, brandishing four combat sabers in his four arms, looking incredibly ferocious.

In the distance, the Golden Core qi refiner named Wu Zun was completely stunned. His killing moves were dismantled in just two exchanges?

Wu Zun had watched Wu Yuan battle multiple times before. He thought he’d be able to put up a bloody fight at least, but now? The gap was too vast.

"I concede," Wu Zun shook his head helplessly, sincerely admitting, "Brother Wu Yuan, you're incredible, grasping the True Intent of the Celestial Body Dao. With your combat prowess, few can stand against you."

"Good match," Wu Yuan said, cupping his hands with a smile.

He transformed into a streak of light, shooting out of the combat space.

At this moment, the hundreds of members of the Fifth Origin Eldritch Field watching from the sidelines were all struck dumb with shock.

They had anticipated that Wu Yuan would win. After all, in the over seven hundred battles previously, Wu Yuan had long proven his combat prowess one duel at a time.

If the Dao comprehension of his opponent was at a similar level, Wu Yuan was sure to win!

But no one expected that Wu Yuan would win this battle so decisively, achieving an overwhelming victory.

"Celestial Body True Intent!"

"Wu Yuan has broken through."

"After honing himself through over seven hundred battles, he actually broke through just before the Heaven and Earth Tournament?" The spectators found it unbelievable.

Quickly, this news spread among the hundred thousand members-plus of the Fifth Origin Eldritch Field.

Now, apart from the Origin Eldritch Field members who had challenged Wu Yuan, even the dozens of earth-tier members turned their attention to him.

Because, Wu Yuan, who had comprehended the True Intent of the Celestial Body Dao, now posed a threat to their positions.

Throughout the entire Fifth Origin Eldritch Field, the top ten thousand geniuses all had the power to compete for the title of Golden Core Bloodforge King.

But the quality of the earth-tier members in the Fifth Origin Eldritch Field was much higher than Golden Core Bloodforge Kings.

Firstly, the eldritch world had a significantly higher number of geniuses, and secondly, the number of earth-tier member slots was ten times fewer than the number of Golden Core Bloodforge Kings selected.

Typically speaking, one must comprehend either the True Intent of an Intermediate Law or the Dao Field of a Lesser Law to have a shot at becoming an earth-tier member. And their immortal root, ether arts, arcane arts, and soul could not be weak either.

In the past, Wu Yuan's Dao comprehension was relatively shallow. Now, with his sudden breakthrough, he naturally drew attention.

“No need to panic. Wu Yuan just broke through. His grasp of Celestial Body True Intent might only be rudimentary. No matter how skilled he is in battle, I estimate he can only stay at the earth-tier."

"Reaching the heaven-tier? No chance!" The members of the Fifth Origin Eldritch Field debated, subconsciously believing Wu Yuan wasn't strong enough.

After all, he had just broken through, and the Heaven and Earth Tournament was imminent.

But Wu Yuan ignored the external chatter. He continued to fight daily, methodically honing himself.

Following a structured regimen, he trained in saber techniques, meditated in the Essence Tower, and roamed the Summerpeak World...

The result was—victory! Victory! Victory!

He won every battle decisively.

As time passed, Wu Yuan's saber techniques were refined to near perfection. It was as if he had entered a special state, and his strength constantly improved.

Every day, he made progress. Though the daily increments were small, accumulated over time, his improvement was terrifying.

The Eldritch Battle Platform.

For the 879th battle, Wu Yuan fought Nong Bai.

This battle garnered immense viewership, and the number of spectators in the Fifth Origin Eldritch Field soared from hundreds to nearly two thousand.

This was because Nong Bai had already comprehended a Lesser Law to the Dao Field stage, possessing the strength to compete for earth-tier membership, and was recognized as a peerless genius.

But this battle caught everyone by surprise.

Wu Yuan came out swinging, attacking Nong Bai head-on in a frenzy. The fight was nothing short of a maelstrom of violence, ether hemorrhaging without pause!

But in the end, Wu Yuan, relying on the formidable defense of his true body ether art and the assistance of blood mist, defeated Nong Bai!

The battle was completely one-sided, finally igniting Wu Yuan’s hope of reaching the heaven tier.

Yes, among the numerous disciples of the Eldritch Sovereign, he was still considered relatively weak. But that was because every disciple of the Eldritch Sovereign was a once-in-a-million-year genius in the entire macrocosm!

Members of the Fifth Origin Eldritch Field, though also geniuses, were far from the level of such monstrous prodigies.

In the 892nd battle, Wu Yuan once again defeated a member of the Fifth Origin Eldritch Field who had reached the True Intent stage of an Intermediate Law. This time, Wu Yuan's victory was crisp and clean!

The gap in combat power was even greater than when he defeated Nong Bai.

This was because, in just one month, Wu Yuan's saber techniques had grown even more terrifying. Under the cascading blade rays, his offense and defense were impeccable and unstoppable.

Victory!

This battle truly shook the hundred thousand-plus geniuses in the Fifth Origin Eldritch Field.

Wu Yuan had consecutively defeated two geniuses, who had the potential to become earth-tier members, with an overwhelming advantage.

He truly showcased his terrifying prowess and talent, proving, at the very least, that he genuinely had the potential to break into the heaven tier.

In the Cang Feng Eldritch Voidrealm, within the Fifth Origin Eldritch Plane, stood a hall.

"Terrifying."

"Where did this Wu Yuan come from? His progress is unbelievably rapid."

"Could he be a terrifying genius destined to challenge the Fifth Origin Eldritch Field's heaven-tier member?" A dozen geniuses gathered here. They were all earth-tier members, and the topic of discussion was naturally the rising star, Wu Yuan.

"Mu Xia, you're a heaven-tier member, do you not have anything to say?" someone asked.

"What is there to say?" A white-robed young man, exuding a noble elegance, slowly smiled, "I only became the so-called heaven-tier member because those ahead of me broke through, and I moved up in rank. The true heaven-tier members are born through the Heaven and Earth Tournament."

"Wu Yuan? Everything will be decided in battle."

“Heaven-tier, huh. Strength is what matters. If he surpasses us in strength, then he is heaven-tier. What's there to discuss?" The white-robed young man stood up, smiling, "Everyone, I advise you to stop discussing him."

"Rather than hoping for weaker opponents, it’s better to strive for greater strength. As long as you become the strongest, you are naturally heaven-tier."

"I'm leaving." The white-robed youth's avatar vanished, his soul consciousness already departing from the voidrealm.

Regardless of the external clamor, Wu Yuan focused solely on his training, accustomed to this quiet cultivation lifestyle.

One battle after another ended!

Once the thousandth battle concluded, Wu Yuan swiftly defeated his opponent, uttering a final, "Thank you for the match." Then, he left the spherical combat space.

By now, the other members of the Origin Eldritch Field had already grown used to Wu Yuan’s victories; in the last hundred or so battles of the thousand challenges, Wu Yuan had swept away all opponents.

Whether they were body refiners or qi refiners, regardless of their Dao comprehension, no matter their immortal root,or how long they had been cultivating, Wu Yuan swept all challengers in his path!

So, when the thousandth battle ended, Wu Yuan had unknowingly become one of the top favorites for the Heaven-tier member in the upcoming Heaven and Earth Tournament.

At this moment, with only about three months left until the next Heaven and Earth Tournament, Wu Yuan received a piece of news that took him by surprise.

Summerpeak World, the Middle Land.

"Old Fang, have you really decided?" Wu Yuan’s gaze fell on Fang Xia. Fang Xia, dressed in a white robe, looked very scholarly.

Beside him stood Mountain Devil and Arctic.

"Yes, Young Master," Fang Xia nodded with a smile, "Now, Young Master is already a peerless genius in the entire macrocosm, and a core member of the Cang Feng Eldritch World, with status and power beyond our imagination."

"Senior Cen Jiang has also managed the Middle Land very well. We are no longer needed here," Fang Xia said, "So, we would like to venture out into one of the eldritch continents."

"Isn't quiet cultivation good?" Wu Yuan was puzzled.

There were even immortals to provide them guidance here.

"Your Majesty, we are not you," Mountain Devil said in a deep voice, "Our talents are limited. Although the immortals provide us with guidance, it is too profound for us to comprehend fully.”

“We have kept all the recordings of their teachings. But if we only shut ourselves away, breaking through to the Amethyst Cradle might still be extremely difficult."

"By venturing on expeditions, perhaps we may lack teachings and resources, but that feeling of toeing the line between life and death might just bring back the old thrill of adventure, and help us progress faster." Mountain Devil grinned, his body towering even in human form.

Expeditions? Wu Yuan scanned the trio.

The three individuals before him had each received significant help from Wu Yuan. Yet, time was short. As of now, Fang Xia had only reached the fifth-stage Golden Core phase, and the other two were just at the fourth stage.

Such a cultivation level was insignificant in the vast macrocosm.

"I've given you many treasures before, and now you have the teachings of the eldritch world," Wu Yuan said. "I have my own opinions on this, but your path of cultivation isn’t walked by me. I won't say more."

"If you need anything, contact me through the Cang Feng Eldritch Voidrealm," Wu Yuan added. "Remember, do not expose the existence of Summerpeak."

"Understood."

"Rest assured, Young Master. We've already sworn an oath in the Eldritch Progenitor’s name," Fang Xia, Arctic, and the Mountain Devil replied respectfully.

Shortly after, Cen Jiang made the arrangements, and the three quietly left Summerpeak World. They were headed to an eldritch continent not far from the Cang Feng Continent. The vast eldritch continent was large enough for them to roam to their heart’s content.

They've all left! When will we meet again, if ever? Wu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Expeditions, even in the relatively safer eldritch continents, were fraught with danger for Golden Core cultivators. Any slight misstep could lead to their demise. But such was the path of cultivation.

This journey is long, with many stops and starts. Time flows on, bringing separations and reunions. Wu Yuan sighed. In the end, how many will reach the end of the Great Dao?

The Great Dao was an arduous path, and immortality hard to attain.

With the passage of time, countless creatures turned to dust; even Wu Yuan dared not claim he could reach the end of the immortal path.
