The forest was untouched, with no signs of footsteps.
Johnnie and the others walked for more than an hour before finally arriving at the Yett Family’s location.
At this point, the sky was completely dark.
It was lucky they had special physiques — they wouldn’t have been able to survive otherwise.
"Johnnie, it’s been a while." Finn had been waiting and rushed over.
"Have a few of them rest." he told the Yett Family disciples by his side.
"No need. I’ll take care of it." Cecilia said, and with ease, pulled Crysic and the others away.
Finn didn’t mind. He stepped forward, put his arm around Johnnie’s shoulder, and said with a frown."Johnnie, you can’t be biased. Can’t you let fuse my ga attributes too?"
He had already heard that Atlas had fused his ga attributes, which had given him a massive power boost. He had broken through the peak of martial artists and entered the Immortality Cultivator ranks.
Johnnie smiled and said."Of course, but you’ll have to wait until you break through to the State of Sword Mind."
He still had two Fossils of Creation left. Giving one to Finn wasn’t impossible.
But Finn’s current strength was still too weak. He needed to understand the Realm of the Sword’s Heart before fusing the attributes, or else it would be a waste of the Fossil of Creation.
Finn imdiately lost his energy, his expression downcast.
Breaking through to the State of Sword Mind wasn’t easy.
"Co on, let’s go see my grandfather first." Finn stopped thinking about it and led Johnnie to Atlas’s study.
The study was lit by flickering candlelight.
Atlas was sitting cross-legged, ditating. When he sensed Johnnie’s arrival, he smiled and stood up, greeting him."Johnnie, you’ve had a tough trip. Sit down, please."
"Senior, why is your energy so strong?" Johnnie noticed the change in his energy and asked in surprise.
At this mont, Atlas’s energy was even more terrifying than his own.
But that didn’t necessarily an he was stronger. Johnnie had fused his ga attributes, and his strength couldn’t be judged by a martial arts disciple.
Atlas’s smile deepened as he said."That’s all thanks to you. I’ve broken through to the Body-Refining Realm."
"Body-Refining Realm?" Johnnie was confused. He had never heard of that level before.
Finn, who was standing nearby, explained."Johnnie, that’s the Immortality Cultivator. When powerful martial artists break through the peak, they enter the Body-Refining Realm and beco Immortality Cultivators."
"Really?" Johnnie was surprised. The Immortality Cultivators were legendary, and he had always been curious about them.
Atlas’s smile grew even wider as he said."Johnnie, want to have a sparring match?"
"Sure." Johnnie’s eyes lit up. He was also curious about just how strong an Immortality Cultivator really was.
"I’ll arrange the place right away." Finn said excitedly.
"No need. Go deep into the mountains." Atlas stopped him. With their strength, he didn’t want to disturb the Yett Family disciples.
Atlas moved, stepping outside the study, summoning his sword, and flying with the Controlled Sword toward the deep mountains.
He had also received the recognition of a divine artifact — Purple Skies Sword.
After the attribute fusion, the artifact had arrived in the real world.
Johnnie imdiately flew with the Controlled Sword, chasing after him.
Finn watched the two of them disappear, feeling both admiration and helplessness.
...
Deep in the mountains, Atlas stopped, standing steadily on his sword, and looked at Johnnie who was following closely.
"Johnnie, my attributes may not be as strong as yours, but my understanding of ancient martial arts isn’t sothing you can compare to. Be careful!"
He warned him, then launched the first strike — a blade aura roaring toward Johnnie.
Johnnie’s expression turned serious. He didn’t dare to be careless, and imdiately gathered his Sword Aura Protection.
Clang!
The blade aura struck, and the Sword Aura trembled. Johnnie was pushed back dozens of ters.
"Good, co again." Atlas was excited. That was just a test. He was about to fight seriously now.
Whirr...
The Intent of the Sword humd. Four flying swords shot out, attacking Johnnie. His Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords had risen to level 4.
These were just ordinary short swords, not divine artifacts.
Even so, Johnnie didn’t take it lightly. He summoned his Seven Sword, controlling four of the flying swords and using the Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords to attack Atlas.
Clang, clang...
The sound of clashing swords echoed, and a powerful energy trembled around them.
Their techniques were the sa, and their attacks ca back and forth, evenly matched.
But Johnnie hadn’t used his full power.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion, the two collided and both were pushed back.
"Ah, I guess I still can’t match you." Atlas realized the gap between them and sighed, saying with a helpless tone.
He had fought his hardest, but Johnnie still moved like he was strolling, perfectly at ease.
He knew Johnnie was holding back, not wanting to make him lose too badly.
Johnnie smiled and said."Senior, this is cheating. If I didn’t have the ga attributes, I wouldn’t be your match."
"That’s part of the strength." Atlas held his sword in front of him and said. "Johnnie, this last strike, don’t hold back. I want to see just how big the gap between us really is."
"Okay." Johnnie nodded.
Whirr!
The Intent of the Sword humd, surrounded by a purple glow. Atlas’s energy suddenly rose a few notches.
Johnnie was a bit surprised. He put aside his arrogance and summoned his Void Sword.
"Johnnie, be careful. This is a move I’ve spent days understanding after receiving the divine artifact Purple Skies Sword— Purple Aura from the East!" Atlas said, then suddenly launched his attack.
Whoosh...
A strong wind howled, and a powerful Intent of the Sword surged forward.
A massive purple sword beam sliced through the sky, appearing in an instant and slashing toward Johnnie.
Johnnie took a step back, feeling the power of the attack and his expression grew serious.
"Rupture the Ground!" He called out, and used the Rupture the Ground technique from the Void Sword thod.
Whirr!
The Intent of the Sword stirred again. Wind howled, and a massive black sword beam shot out, colliding with the purple one.
Boom, boom...
A series of sonic booms exploded, and powerful energy surged. Both of them were pushed back again.
Johnnie quickly steadied himself, but Atlas landed directly on the ground and kept retreating.
The difference in strength was clear.
"Senior, you’ve won." Johnnie landed and bowed respectfully.
"Haha, good. The new generation follows the old, and you young ones are the hope of the Earth." Atlas laughed warmly, showing no sign of disappointnt.
He could feel that even now, Johnnie hadn’t used his full strength.
"Let’s go back. If the Doe Family dares to co again, they won’t leave alive!" Atlas said confidently.
Johnnie nodded, and the two flew back to the Yett Family using the Controlled Sword.
Finn saw them return and rushed over, eager to ask."Grandpa, how did it go? Who won?"
"Hmph, do you have nothing else to do?" Atlas frowned and glared at him.
He was getting more and more annoyed with Finn.
They were about the sa age, but Finn’s strength was way behind Johnnie’s.
Even though Johnnie had gained strength from the ga fusion, his Comprehension of the Way of the Sword was real.
"Ah?" Finn was confused. "Grandpa, wasn’t it you who told to take care of the security?"
"Ah." Atlas sighed and said no more, then looked at Johnnie and said."Johnnie, would you like to be the head of the Yett Family?"
"What?" Johnnie was taken aback and looked at Finn.
Finn was supposed to be the future head of the Yett Family.
He was also surprised, then excited."Sure! Johnnie, your strength is amazing. You’re my brother-in-law, not an outsider at all. You can definitely lead our Yett Family and make it thrive!"
It was clear they already knew about Johnnie and Cecilia’s relationship.
Johnnie felt a bit uneasy and quickly waved his hands. "Senior, don’t joke around. Besides, I’m not interested in being the head of the Yett Family."
"That’s true. With your potential, a small position like that really isn’t worth your ti." Atlas nodded, looking a bit disappointed.
Johnnie opened his mouth, not sure how to explain.
Atlas continued: "Finn, go down. I have sothing to say to Johnnie."
The two of them walked toward the study.
Woo!
Suddenly, a wave of spatial energy surged, and then countless powerful auras descended.
Johnnie and Atlas exchanged a glance, obviously both sensing it.
The Doe Family is here, and they arrived suddenly!
Atlas stopped Finn and hurriedly said:"Finn, gather all the descendants."
"Okay." Finn had also sensed it, and imdiately turned to leave.
"The old head of the Yett Family, Dorian, has co to visit!"
A loud voice echoed, covering the entire forest.
All the Yett Family disciples were on high alert, quickly gathering together.
"Let’s go!" Atlas directly summoned Purple Skies Sword and rushed toward the Yett Family’s mountain gate.
At the gate, thousands of people appeared. The leader was none other than Dorian.
These people radiated powerful energy, but they weren’t mbers of the Doe Family — they were martial arts disciples who had joined the Advance Action and achieved attribute fusion.
Dorian saw Johnnie by the side and his killing intent was sharp: "Kid, you’re here. I thought you had hidden yourself."
Johnnie had killed his brother, forcing him to run around. Today, he was going to finish him off once and for all.
Atlas stepped forward and coldly said: "Dorian, we have no history. Let’s keep the water from the well and the river from the well. Why have you brought so many strong people here today?"
Dorian took his eyes off him and said calmly: "Simple. The Yett Family has to submit to , or you’ll be destroyed."
"Hmph, big words. Then let’s see if you have the power for it." Atlas didn’t want to waste words. His sword aura shimred, and he imdiately attacked Dorian.
"You’re asking for death. Kill them all, no survivors!" Dorian coldly ordered, summoning a long sword and attacking Atlas.
He had also fused with ga attributes, and his strength was no match for Atlas.
"Kill!" A chorus of battle cries rang out, and the martial arts disciples charged forward.
"Who dares!" Johnnie roared, and the Void Sword whistled. He used the Mountain Shatter technique, and a massive sword beam shot out — not at the martial arts disciples, but at a mountain in the distance.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion, the earth trembled. Under the dark night, the huge mountain peak collapsed and split into several parts.
Such a terrifying sight shocked everyone.
Even Dorian and Atlas stopped their attack, staring at the scene in shock.
Johnnie looked at the martial arts disciples and coldly said: "I know you were manipulated by Dorian. Now I’m giving you a chance — submit to , or die!"
For a mont, everyone looked at each other, unsure what to do.
Johnnie’s thods were too terrifying. They could feel that if that single sword had been aid at them, they would have been dead.
