Chapter 1616: Chapter 1617: Golden Core Slaughters Nascent Soul
Wan Qiu True Master couldn’t help but find Yu Yanshu’s words both amusing and exasperating.
He had never seen how Su Chengyu managed to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator while only in the Golden Core Realm, but it wasn’t difficult to imagine the cultivation realm Su Chengyu was in at the ti and the realm his opponent was in.
But what about the current situation?
Although Yu Yanshu’s Golden Core Sixth Layer cultivation was relatively high, her opponents were at the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer—and there were two of them, no less.
This wasn’t rely a matter of battling across realms; the gap was nearly a realm and a half.
“Overestimating oneself!”
Yu Yanshu’s words had evidently enraged the two disciples of the Luo Clan. Without exchanging a single word, they attacked almost simultaneously.
In an instant, their magic artifacts split to flank her, forming erald streaks of light in the air and closing in on Yu Yanshu. Her eyes suddenly turned golden, and at that mont, everything in heaven and earth beca crystal clear.
“What is this?!”
From afar, the Sixth Elder sensed the peculiar aura and was stunned. Unfortunately, facing Wan Qiu True Master, he couldn’t investigate further and could only express his surprise aloud.
Wan Qiu True Master glanced over casually, his gaze calm, as if he were speaking to himself or addressing the Sixth Elder. He said indifferently, “Starting with the Primordial Eye—this lass certainly doesn’t compromise. However, since you’ve seen this mont, I’m afraid you’ll have to die.”
Boom!
The roar of battle burst simultaneously from both fronts. Wan Qiu True Master’s blade manifested overwhelming sword shadows, each one landing squarely on the Sixth Elder.
anwhile, on the other battlefield, though less striking in aura, Yu Yanshu initiated the attack. After deflecting a war axe into the air, she flipped, landed on another magic artifact, and counterattacked with a precise stroke of her sword, forcing the two opponents to retreat.
The disparity between Golden Core and Nascent Soul should have been imnse.
Under Su Chengyu’s tutelage, with the enhancent of the Primordial Eye, the potency of Yu Yanshu’s every move surpassed even the height Su Chengyu himself once achieved.
The reverse stroke carried with it a thunderous power, each motion demonstrating a mastery of the Heavenly Qi-breaking Five Thunder Technique that not only surpassed Su Chengyu’s mastery in the past but rivaled him in the present.
The two Luo Clan disciples instinctively dodged. Looking at the deep crater left where they had previously stood, both furrowed their brows, unable to comprehend how Yu Yanshu, a Golden Core cultivator, managed to unleash such a devastating strike with a single blow of her sword.
However, more bewildering than her attacks was her defense.
Even as it unfolded before their eyes, the two disciples still couldn’t understand how Yu Yanshu had managed to see through the trajectories of their magic artifacts, deflect one assault while suppressing the other entirely.
It’s so slow.
Imrsed in combat, Yu Yanshu displayed no joy or sorrow, calmly analyzing everything happening before her.
This wasn’t her first battle since reaching the Golden Core Realm. Along the journey, she had defeated enemies vastly stronger than herself through sheer determination.
Previously, she hadn’t considered it remarkable.
But today.
Standing face-to-face with two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Yu Yanshu felt, for the first ti, the undeniable frailty of her opponents—and her own strength.
“Break.”
The word was uttered lightly, without a hint of emotion.
With a seemingly ordinary stroke, Yu Yanshu’s golden pupils shimred. Though she had never formally cultivated any pupil skills, she instinctively imbued her blade with the power of the Primordial Eye. Everything unfolded naturally.
“Together!”
Boom!
Another resounding explosion erupted. In their final monts, the two Nascent Soul cultivators stood side by side, simultaneously deploying their strongest defensive magic artifacts and techniques to block Yu Yanshu’s strike.
But this sword, inheriting technique from Su Chengyu, teachings from Wan Qiu True Master, and wielding the power of the Primordial Eye, effortlessly shattered the barrier the two cultivators had created together and landed squarely on their bodies.
As the dust settled, the two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators stared at the outco, their hearts overco with unparalleled shock.
Was this… a Golden Core?
You’re kidding —a Golden Core, you say?
Although neither was injured by the strike, the two were certain that if either one of them had been alone…
Forget injuries—dying under that sword blow wouldn’t have been impossible.
You’re telling that soone like this is only in the Golden Core Realm, and not even a late-stage Golden Core?
The pride of the Ancient Clan was utterly crushed at this mont. The two disciples, unable to comprehend what had transpired, felt an overwhelming fear that rivaled the terror inspired by Wan Qiu True Master’s earth-shattering Sword Montum.
The latter’s overwhelming power was beyond reason, a force beyond their understanding, bound by cultivation and realm.
But this—what kind of technique was this?
They had been through the Golden Core Realm themselves and had seen countless prodigies of the Ancient Clan, yet none of them could compare to what had just unfolded before their eyes.
Not sothing one alone could counter.
Yet…
“I’ll hold her off. You go kill that Demon Clan mber.”
One of the Luo Clan disciples suddenly spoke, shocking his comrade.
This disciple, almost inviting death upon himself, displayed unwavering determination in his gaze as he said solemnly, “I am a sinner, sentenced to guard this place with no hope of leaving. But you are different. You’re young, your mistakes are few. When you leave here, live the rest of my life for .”
“Elder Brother!”
From afar, Yu Yanshu watched this exchange coldly, her expression unchanged. She neither capitalized on the mont nor relaxed her guard in the slightest.
The hardships she had endured since childhood had shown her the warmth and cruelty of the mortal world. Following Su Chengyu, she had glimpsed the light that could exist in humanity, but the scene before her offered yet another lesson.
How much talk of good and evil truly exists?
It’s rely a matter of differing perspectives.
A matter of differing positions.
If her environnt, circumstances, and identity had been different, who’s to say the people she now opposed couldn’t have been her allies, people she trusted implicitly?
Humans.
Truly fascinating.
The clash of magic artifacts reverberated in the air as Yu Yanshu’s flying sword intercepted the incoming artifact. Her gaze landed on the Nascent Soul cultivator racing toward Bai Huang.
Without hesitation, she vanished from her spot, instantly appearing in front of the cultivator attempting to target Bai Huang.
So fast.
The Luo Clan disciple was stunned by Yu Yanshu’s speed, struggling to react. Yet, every action he took appeared unbearably slow in Yu Yanshu’s eyes.
“Apologies, but I promised my teacher I would protect my junior brother,”
Her cold words echoed in his ears as Yu Yanshu delivered a rciless hand strike that pierced his body, driving directly into his Sea of Consciousness and toward his Nascent Soul.
The Luo Clan disciple desperately shifted his Nascent Soul’s location, narrowly evading Yu Yanshu’s strike aid at his vital core.
But this subtle adjustnt was glaringly obvious to Yu Yanshu’s golden pupils.
Without hesitation, she reached out and seized the fleeing Nascent Soul in her grasp.
Boom!
With an earth-shattering impact, a Golden Core cultivator killed a Nascent Soul!
Yu Yanshu had achieved the sa feat Su Chengyu accomplished after Kunwu Realm.
