Chapter 515 - 191: Soul-shattering Wave! Luo Cheng’s Soul Power!
Chapter 515: Chapter 191: Soul-shattering Wave! Luo Cheng’s Soul Power!
Luo Yao and Amu had already emerged from the pavilion.
They gazed at Dong Yue, whose body was bloodied and in utter disarray.
A tempest of shock surged within them, leaving them speechless.
They knew very well the extent of Dong Yue’s strength—her cultivation was close to the Ninth Layer Middle Stage of the Awakening Vein Realm. Her cultivation techniques and martial arts were of extraordinary grade, her battle prowess far exceeding that of ordinary Ninth Layer Early Stage cultivators. Yet, she had been blown away by one strike from Luo Cheng.
While Dong Yue had not yet released her Martial Soul and was still in her ordinary state, the disparity in their cultivation realms was evident.
Luo Cheng being able to overpower Dong Yue in her ordinary state was already beyond comprehension.
It could only be described as a miracle!
Luo Cheng’s face did not display joy; instead, a deep trace of astonishment remained.
“I didn’t severely injure her with one strike! How could this happen?”
The previous strike had condensed all his strength, executed at the perfect moment, catching his opponent completely off guard.
Luo Cheng initially believed this strike would be enough to seriously wound Dong Yue—or even instantly kill her!
Yet, it resulted in merely superficial injuries.
Luo Yao also noticed something unusual. Her perceptive eyes flashed with a peculiar light, and she cautioned:
“Be careful; she’s wearing Four-star Treasure Armor!”
Luo Cheng had already realized this.
Under Dong Yue’s torn green robe, a layer of emerald glow radiated.
The glow rippled like water, full of vitality, tightly shielding her.
Staring at the shimmering emerald light, Luo Cheng’s eyes burned with desire.
Four-star Defensive Treasure—this was a coveted gem, unattainable even with great wealth!
“Heh, that’s right. It’s the Green Light Armor gifted to me by the eldest lady—a top-grade Four-star treasure, capable of withstanding attacks from Late Stage Awakening Vein cultivators!”
Dong Yue’s face was pale, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Though the armor had blocked Luo Cheng’s fatal strike, the impact’s shockwave could not be completely absorbed, causing her Qi and blood to boil violently.
As a powerful Ninth Layer cultivator of the Awakening Vein Realm, she had nearly been defeated by Luo Cheng. This truth alone made her want to vomit blood!
As she spoke, Dong Yue’s gaze darkened, and a sinister grin spread across her face as she looked at Luo Cheng:
“Truly unexpected—someone as worthless as you has hidden such strength! At such a young age, you’ve comprehended seventy percent Sword Intent! If not for the Green Light Armor, I might have suffered a terrible fall. Since that’s the case, I can’t let you live any longer!”
Boom!
As her words fell, a Seven-star Tornado Martial Soul emerged behind Dong Yue, suspended in the void. Her aura surged dramatically, and the blue Qi Force emanating from her body grew increasingly fierce, tearing through the surrounding air like shredded fabric!
“I’ll send you to your grave right now!”
Her voice chillingly cold, Dong Yue prepared to attack.
“Enough! Dong Yue, this ends here!”
Luo Yao stepped forward, her tone detached: “Regarding the utilization of family resources, I will provide an explanation. You should return now!”
Luo Yao stood up and intervened.
Top-grade Four-star Treasure Armor wasn’t a trivial matter—it could enhance Dong Yue’s strength by roughly thirty percent! Luo Cheng was unlikely to withstand her attacks.
“Heh…”
Dong Yue chuckled softly, her gaze indifferent as she glanced at Luo Yao. She shook her head lightly:
“Miss Luo Yao, forgive me, but I cannot comply. I’ve made a pact of three moves with him, and we’ve only exchanged one move. Two remain. If he can withstand the final one, I’ll leave immediately!”
Luo Yao frowned.
“Sister Luo Yao, let me handle this! I will kill this man!”
Luo Cheng’s figure moved forward, stopping thirty steps from Dong Yue, his expression devoid of emotion.
The top-grade Four-star Treasure Armor was indeed troublesome, making it difficult to inflict fatal damage.
However, her limbs had no armor protection. He could sever her limbs first, or slowly exhaust her strength—he had plenty of Essence Energy to spare!
If necessary, he could always consume another Blood Burning Pill—no matter what, he had to kill her today!
“Heh, kill me? What arrogance!”
Dong Yue’s eyes narrowed slightly. Having suffered such humiliation, her hatred for Luo Cheng was at its peak. Seeing him remain so defiant, her anger flared, and her voice turned icy:
“Little trash, let’s see if you can keep that cocky attitude after my next move! I’ll let you taste the ultimate skill I recently perfected!”
Boom!
As her words concluded, Dong Yue’s Essence Energy surged wildly. Her right palm opened wide, and a tightly condensed orb of light appeared in its center.
Waves rippled across the orb, as though it harbored a terrifying storm within. Invisible waves spread outward, causing the surrounding air to grow thick like water!
“What is that…”
Amu’s gaze turned puzzled.
The invisible ripples even made her thoughts begin to stagnate!
But Luo Yao’s expression shifted dramatically: “Soul-shattering Wave! Luo Xueyan even passed this secret technique down to you! Luo Cheng, retreat immediately! This move contains Soul Power that can harm the Divine Soul!”
“Heh, that’s correct! It’s the Soul-shattering Wave. Beneath the Four Extremes Secret Realm, almost no one can withstand it! Little trash, you cannot escape! To perish under this technique is a fate worthy of pride!”
Dong Yue cackled menacingly, flipping her palm to unleash the attack upon Luo Cheng.
Buzz!
The orb expanded, distorting the air precipitously. Wave after wave of blue ripples surged forward, resembling ocean tides crashing through, shattering the space within their range like fragile crystal.
The field’s coverage was massive, making evasion impossible.
Luo Cheng had no intention of dodging.
Having absorbed so much Martial Soul Essence, his Soul Power had grown immensely, already surpassing the level of Awakening Vein cultivators. There was no way her attack could harm his Divine Soul!
“Star Sinking! Break for me!”
With a thunderous shout, Luo Cheng gripped his sword with both hands and unleashed the fifth form of the Meteor Sword Technique in a devastatingly wide arc, slashing downward.
Rumble!
The heavens seemed to rip open, as a streak of starry Sword Qi descended from above, carrying an overwhelming intent, obliterating everything tangible in its path.
The turbulent tidal impact was instantly dismantled!
Witnessing this scene, Dong Yue was unperturbed—the true terror of the Soul-shattering Wave lay in its intangible Soul Power impact, aimed at harming the Divine Soul!
Buzz!
Invisible ripples penetrated through Luo Cheng’s Sword Qi, spreading over his body.
His movements froze, as he felt a force invading him, rushing toward his Sea of Consciousness, intent on extinguishing his awareness and crushing his spirit!
Splash!
At that moment, the golden Sea of Consciousness—shaped like a small lake—surged violently. His Soul Power erupted fiercely, releasing a mysterious and overwhelming aura that instantly eradicated the invading force, dissolving it entirely as if water encountering a heated iron, turning to vapor.
“Just as I suspected!”
Luo Cheng felt a mix of surprise and exhilaration.
His Soul Power was indeed extraordinary!
This meant he would never again fear typical Soul Power attacks!
“Now, I’ll send you to your grave!”
Seeing Luo Cheng frozen, Dong Yue assumed he had been injured by her attack. Her eyes glinted with malice, and she lunged forward, her five fingers sharp as blades, erupting with Qi Force as they struck down fiercely!
“Luo Cheng—sir!”
Amu screamed in terror, her face turning ghostly pale.
Luo Yao’s expression also shifted drastically, her figure darting forward instantly.
But just then, Luo Cheng raised his gaze, golden brilliance flickering in the depths of his pupils, emanating an aura that made hearts tremble!
“What’s going on with you!”
Shocked, Dong Yue immediately tried to retreat.
“Too late!”
Luo Cheng sneered coldly, his left hand clenched as a vast aura burst forth, forming five towering mountain shadows behind him. Without giving Dong Yue a chance to respond, he punched out explosively.
“Five Mountains Condensing Cauldron!”
Boom!
The five mountain shadows coalesced into a colossal cauldron, slamming into Dong Yue with devastating force.
“Ah!”
Dong Yue let out a pained scream as her Protective Essence Energy shattered completely. Blood spurted from her mouth and nose, her body sent flying uncontrollably.
“Slash!”
With piercing determination in his gaze, Luo Cheng followed up with an attack, swinging his sword in a forceful arc. Sword Qi streaked through the air with a shrill whistle.
Thud!
Even with the protection of the Four-star Treasure Armor, Dong Yue was unable to withstand successive powerful strikes. The emerald glow around her nearly dissipated entirely. She spat blood and flew backward like a shooting star, crashing into the lake below.
Boom!
The impact sounded like thunder, sending waves towering a thousand meters high over the lake!
“Overpowering a Ninth Layer Early Stage cultivator of the Awakening Vein Realm! Even the Soul-shattering Wave couldn’t faze him!”
Luo Yao’s figure hovered in mid-air, her gaze fixed on the unfolding events. Her tongue unconsciously ran across her crimson lips as her eyes gleamed brightly, staring at Luo Cheng as if he were a treasure trove.
