The Overlord realm was nad as such for good reason. Having reached such a level, martial artists were capable of lording over all lives within their respective domains.
Only a domain could resist a domain.
Just from this statent that had beco sothing akin to common sense for martial artists of the continent, it could be inferred that no one under the Overlord realm should be able to resist the might of an Overlord powerhouse.
Not even soone at the Ninth Cycle Origin Core realm would be an exception, much less soone at the Fourth Cycle Origin Core realm.
As the wave of frost from the Frost Claw Overlord approached and threatened to devour Lu Tianzi whole, his allies felt nothing but despair in their hearts.
Even the Pure Snow Serpent King was brought to the brink of death in one hit, so how could Lu Tianzi possibly survive?
But that was when Lu Tianzi's aura suddenly skyrocketed to an unimaginable level.
In the face of death, Lu Tianzi beca more focused than ever.
With a wave of the Moon Culler, the swords around him shot forward all at once to collide against the wave of frost, each of them carrying a hint of Yin energy and emitting a brilliant sword light as they did.
Returning Wraith Swords.
This was the Returning Wraith Sword being executed alongside the Eternal Wraith Sword, a high level technique only possible when one had obtained true mastery over the Eternal Wraith Sword Art.
Yet even so, the difference in cultivation level was far too large. Each individual sword light could only be seen as insignificant in the face of the overwhelming wave of frost. One by one, the nurous swords lost their sharp aura and shattered into pieces within the frost wave.
But that was not all that Lu Tianzi had to offer.
Using Lu Tianzi's origin force as its source of energy, nine streams of fire burst forth from the Nine Flas Pendant, joining the nurous swords in their clash against the wave of frost.
The temperature in the surroundings imdiately turned up a notch as the flas lit up the entire Courtyard of Rembrance. While there were only nine streams of fla as compared to the countless sword light, what it lacked in quantity, it made up for in quality. Each stream of fla gave off a heavy pressure nearing the peak of the Origin Core realm as they smashed into the wave of frost.
With the flas on top of the countless sword light, even the seemingly unstoppable wave of frost began to show signs of slowing down.
That was when Lu Tianzi finally raised the Fallen Sun.
Huge pillars of water ford into giant spheres that hovered around him, with a small stream branching out from each sphere and connecting together right in front of Lu Tianzi in the form of a rotating vortex of water.
Just before Lu Tianzi slashed out with the Fallen Sun, this water vortex that was saturated with essence energy suddenly moved, instantly wrapping around the dark blade in a violent embrace.
At that very mont, world origin energy in the surroundings stirred and gathered upon the new inscription symbol of the Fallen Sun.
The Sunken Star Inscription the fruit of Lu Tianzi's research after he had fully assimilated the trove of knowledge that he had gained during the Inscription et back at the Tiless Fla Sect.
With the Sunken Star Inscription acting as a catalyst, the Law of Yin from the Fallen Sun and the Law of Water from Lu Tianzi ca together as one, imbued with Lu Tianzi's origin force and Battle Intent.
The Fallen Sun cut through the air rcilessly, and this mass of energy was finally liberated from its restraints, erupting as a jet of water of indescribable force.
This jet of water tore through the air as it headed directly for the oncoming wave of frost.
Joining the countless sword lights and nine streams of flas, this completed the full barrage of techniques from Lu Tianzi.
There was no thunderous collision as the two sides collided, nor were the aftershocks terrifying enough to sweep away the surroundings. However, the result was by no ans less shocking because of that.
As the two sides connected, the jet of water actually bore straight through the wave of frost, as though it was a heavenly drill that was splitting apart the earth!
Contrary to the expectations of everyone present, the wave of frost was instantly dispersed. And despite having lost a huge portion of its energy in the process, this powerful jet of water continued forward, its speed almost unchanged from before.
Before anyone knew it, the attacker and defender had switched roles.
Now, it had beco the Frost Claw Overlord's turn to react as the jet of water headed straight for the pavilion that he was in.
The Frost Claw Overlord was stunned for a mont, unable to believe what just happened before his very eyes. It was only when the jet of water had co dangerously close to him that he made his move.
While his eyes remained slightly unfocused from the shock, the Frost Claw Overlord instinctively conjured up a shield of frost before him.
Even though it had already lost most of its energy reserves from before, the jet of water was still plenty strong. Still, it was unable to penetrate the defence of the shield, and dissipated rather harmlessly upon collision.
This elaborate exchange of moves was over within an extrely short fra of ti, leaving nothing but an unnatural silence that lingered over the Courtyard of Rembrance.
Nanlan Qianxue...
The assault team...
The defected mbers of the Frost Guards...
And even the Frost Claw Overlord.
All of them seed to be in a daze as they remained unmoving for a good few monts.
In their heads, the scene that just happened here continued to replay itself, as though their minds were forcing their hearts to accept that absolutely unbelievable occurrence as an actual fact.
A martial artist at the Fourth Cycle Origin Core realm actually managed to overco an attack by an Overlord powerhouse!
What kind of ridiculous notion was that?
Yes, the Frost Claw Overlord might not have put all of his strength behind that attack, but he was still an Overlord powerhouse regardless.
An attack by an Overlord powerhouse was simply not supposed to be sothing that any ordinary Origin Core realm martial artist should be able to handle!
Not to ntion soone at the Fourth Cycle Origin Core realm, even those standing at the very top of the Ninth Cycle Origin Core realm the top rankers of the Heaven's Warrior List would probably struggle to do so despite using all their trump cards and giving it everything they had.
For Lu Tianzi to accomplish a feat like that at the Fourth Cycle Origin Core realm, he was nothing but a complete monster!
At the sa ti, this also planted a single thought into everyone's mind.
Perhaps, just perhaps, it was actually possible for those under the Overlord realm to resist the might of an Overlord powerhouse?
It might be incredibly difficult, and the chances might be unimaginably low.
However, what just happened here was the best proof that such a thing could be done!
"You...!" the Frost Claw Overlord was the first to break the silence.
By now, he had finally lost the look of composure on his face.
After comprehending what just happened, he could not help but feel rage welling up from deep within him.
He understood that from now on, regardless of the outco of today's battle, he would always be rembered as the one whose attack had been nullified by a weakling at the Fourth Cycle Origin Core realm.
Just thinking about such a result made his heart boil!
Right now, the only thing that the Frost Claw Overlord could think of was to shred Lu Tianzi to pieces in front of everyone, making Lu Tianzi's death as painful as possible so as to vent his anger and re-establish his reputation in front of his subordinates!
But just as the Frost Claw Overlord was about to make his move, he sensed a crushing pressure coming from a completely unexpected angle above.
Without warning, an invisible blade of ridiculous magnitude had descended at a speed that even he could barely follow, and was already right upon him.
Heavily distracted by his rage, he had gotten careless about his surroundings. And at this point, there was no longer anyway for him to react to this attack in ti.
Boom-!
The pavilion that the Frost Claw Overlord was in directly split into two, the result of a clean strike by a giant blade ford from nothing but the power of wind.
It was only as the pavilion started crumbling that everyone finally noticed the illusory bottle gourd that hovered above the debris.
At the sa ti, the mouth of the bottle gourd turned towards them and a howling wind was summoned forth, sweeping across the entire Courtyard of Rembrance.
With the appearance of this wind, the earlier pressure from the Frost Claw Overlord's Shackles of Frozen nace was partially alleviated, and the frozen chains that bound every mber of the assault team simultaneously shattered into harmless bits.
Just like how it was when the Frost Claw Overlord first showed up earlier, everyone imdiately understood what was going on here.
This was the Descent of the Mountain Winds, the domain of the Piercing Wind Overlord.
In other words, their master had finally made his move!
Of course, for so of those present, it would be their previous master instead.
As though wanting to confirm their thoughts, the familiar figure of the Piercing Wind Overlord appeared from within the rising cloud of dust and debris.
"Master..."
mbers of the assault team exclaid absent-mindedly, still unable to adapt to the sudden changes that had occurred one after another.
At the sa ti, mbers of the opposing camp felt their hearts sink.
Wasn't the Piercing Wind Overlord supposed to be dying? Just how did he appear here looking completely fine?
And just what happened to the Frost Claw Overlord? There's no way that he had been done in with just this, is there?
Ignoring everyone with their different thoughts, the Piercing Wind Overlord turned towards Lu Tianzi and exclaid with a smile.
"A splendid strike!"
It was a complint that had co from the depths of his heart.
Even now, he could still feel his heart palpitating in excitent from witnessing such an unbelievable scene!
Lu Tianzi forced out a chuckle in relief after seeing the appearance of the Piercing Wind Overlord through his bleeding eyes.
"Sa to you."
