Chapter 2533: The Fearsome Madam Nixuan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
To be able to become the wife of WarG.o.d Bloodximius, she was naturally not an ordinary woman.
Madam Nixuan was the first woman that WarG.o.d Bloodximius married after he transcended the Yuanhui Tribulation. At that time, she was the most talented person in the new generation of the Fane of Asura and was conferred the t.i.tle of Scioness.
From the time she married WarG.o.d Bloodximius, 20,000 years had pa.s.sed.
!!
20,000 years ago, Madam Nixuan was the first-cla.s.s powerhouse under divinity in the Infernal Court. After marrying WarG.o.d Bloodximius, she no longer traveled the world and rarely showed her face in public. She hardly stepped out of the territory of the Xue Jue Family and became mysterious and low-key.
The world only knew that other than cultivating, WarG.o.d Bloodximius did not care about secular affairs. All the matters in the family were handled by Madam Nixuan.
This not only represented the trust of WarG.o.d Bloodximius but also represented his affirmation of her ability.
They also knew that she was the Scioness of Asura. The cultivators who knew her past glory had either died of old age or become G.o.ds.
Most cultivators only knew that WarG.o.d Bloodximius’s wife was called Madam Nixuan. Other than that, she did not have any sense of existence. Not many people even knew her real name.
Logically speaking, with her talent and her G.o.dly husband, WarG.o.d Bloodximius, she should have become a G.o.d 20,000 years ago.
However, she still remained below divinity until now.
The white deer carriage drove over. The sound of the explosion shattered the peaceful heaven and earth.
All the cultivators were rus.h.i.+ng over and ready to watch the show.
Not to mention other things, the ident.i.ty of WarG.o.d Bloodximius’s wife was enough to scare people. Although Madam Nixuan had not become a G.o.d, ordinary G.o.ds would be afraid of her when they saw her.
Yuan Qianmo knew Madam Nixuan quite well. A strange light flashed in his eyes. He cupped his fists and saluted politely, “Greetings, Madam Nixuan.”
…
“It’s a little strange,” Feng Qingli said in a low voice.
Luo Shengtian asked, “What’s strange about it?”
“Yuan Qianmo is the number one in the Tome of the Divines. He can break through to become a G.o.d at any time. Although he is not a G.o.d yet, he is no different from a G.o.d. Why is he bowing to Madam Nixuan?”
“Madam Nixuan’s age is obvious. Yuan Qianmo cupped his fists out of respect. It’s very normal.”
“Mr. Yan’s age is also obvious. Why is he being treated differently?”
Luo Shengtian thought for a moment and said, “After all, Madam Nixuan is the wife of WarG.o.d Bloodximius. Even if Yuan Qianmo broke the realm and became a G.o.d, he would have to bow his head before WarG.o.d Bloodximius.”
“You said that only WarG.o.d Bloodximius has such a deterrent power. Now, it’s just his wife. Yuan Qianmo is such a proud man. How could he show such an att.i.tude so easily?”
Luo Shengtian nodded slightly. He said, “You’re right! Zhang Ruochen was the grandson of WarG.o.d Bloodximius, and he was highly regarded by him. However, Yuan Qianmo still dared to kill him. It meant that no matter how n.o.ble a cultivator’s ident.i.ty was, he would not be afraid of him. Then there’s only one possibility… Does Madam Nixuan have the power that even he is afraid of?”
Only the strong would be respected.
“It seems that Madam Nixuan is not simple! Unfortunately, as far as I know, Zhang Ruochen does not have a good relations.h.i.+p with her. They even have a grudge against each other. For Zhang Ruochen, this is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.”
Feng Qingli had never liked Zhang Ruochen. She felt that the person Luo Sha had married the wrong person. She even felt that their marriage was a combination of the interests of the two forces. Therefore, her tone was somewhat gloating.
In any case, Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha had not been officially married. If anything happened to Zhang Ruochen…
Luo Sha could also be freed.
…
The white deer carriage stopped in the void. The divine light emitted from the deer’s body made a surface-like plane of light appear under the carriage.
Madam Nixuan did not get out of the carriage. He said, “Yuan Qianmo, do you have evidence that Zhang Ruochen killed Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu?”
“I saw it with my own eyes,” Yuan Qianmo said.
A voice came from the carriage. “You mean your words are proof?”
“I don’t dare to lie.”
“Many times, people unconsciously become the kind of people they despise the most.”
What a sharp tongue,’ Yuan Shu thought. She said, “Zhang Ruochen used the Power of Dimension to kill Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu. The three of us saw it with our own eyes.”
“Why did Zhang Ruochen Kill Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu?” The voice in the carriage asked.
Yuan Shu shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”
“Well, it’s obvious. Lu Baitou and Shan Qiu saw that Zhang Ruochen was only in the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Seeing no one around, they wanted to kill him and steal his treasure. They didn’t expect to be killed instead. The disciples of the Xue Jue family aren’t easy to bully. These two deserve to die.”
Even Yuan Qianmo and Yuan Shu, who were deep-hearted figures, couldn’t help but look surprised.
‘This person was the former Scioness of the Fane of Asura and now WarG.o.d Bloodximius’s wife. How could she be so unreasonable?’
Yuan Shu said, “I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for you, Madam Nixuan, to make such a conclusion.”
“What’s wrong? Can you give a more reasonable explanation?”
Yuan Qianmo withheld his pride and reputation, so he did not argue.
In the case of death without a witness, any argument was futile. It would only make a fool of the cultivators watching the battle. Now, it was only a matter of strength. Whoever’s fist was harder would be the truth.
Madam Nixuan’s arrival didn’t make him give up on killing Zhang Ruochen. It just made things a lot more troublesome.
Madam Nixuan could see that strength is everything in the Infernal Court, so she shouted, “Stop!”
Her voice was infused with mighty spiritual power. It turned into an invisible palm print and flew toward Zhang Ruochen and Lan Ying, who were fighting.
The sound waves reached the ears of all the Supreme Saints present. Their minds buzzed, their vision went black, and their internal organs were on the verge of cracking.
Those Supreme Saints who had never heard Madam Nixuan before were shocked.
Yuan Qianmo snorted and shattered Madam Nixuan’s sound wave. His tone was not as respectful as before. He said, “Lan Ying is avenging for the Supreme Saint of the Fane of Barasingha. Please don’t interfere, Madam Nixuan.”
“You have already angered me by calling me senior. Today, I will see what the number one figure in the Tome of the Divines can do.”
The white deer moved forward, and the carriage followed closely behind.
Rumble
Wherever the carriage pa.s.sed, it crushed s.p.a.ce and formed a chaotic region. A large area of the void appeared.
As it traveled through the broken s.p.a.ce, the carriage was stable. Behind the carriage, a b.l.o.o.d.y Asura Divine Mountain appeared. At times, it was the stars twinkling. At other times, there were thousands of soldiers and horses… all sorts of different realms appeared.
Yuan Qianmo flew out in a flash and blocked the carriage’s path. He stopped Madam Nixuan from approaching Zhang Ruochen and Lan Ying’s battlefield.
Countless precepts extended from his feet. There were innumerable trillions of them. They formed 100,000 bare mountains and 100,000 evil rivers.
The two didn’t fight with their true bodies. Instead, they were fighting with techniques.
Most of the Supreme Saints were retreating.
” Madam Nixuan is so powerful. She can actually challenge Yuan Qianmo.”
“Yuan Qianmo only respects WarG.o.d Bloodximius. He didn’t use his full strength to stop Madam Nixuan. He just needed to create an opportunity for Lan Ying to kill Zhang Ruochen.”
“I have to say, Madam Nixuan is still very powerful. The power they release is so strong that ordinary Supreme Saints can’t compare to them.”
…
Zhang Ruochen naturally noticed Madam Nixuan’s arrival. Seeing her fight with Yuan Qianmo, he was still a little surprised.
To be honest, Zhang Ruochen had many trump cards. Fighting with Lan Ying wasn’t too stressful.
But Zhang Ruochen was terrified of Yuan Qianmo.
The Deathkin’s Will of Death was as strange as the Nether Clan’s curse.
Yuan Qianmo was definitely a master of this. If he used the Will of Death to trick Zhang Ruochen, no one would be able to tell. With Madam Nixuan holding Yuan Qianmo back, the pressure on Zhang Ruochen was significantly reduced. He could finally devote himself to fighting with Lan Ying.
Lan Ying saw that the situation had changed. He retreated suddenly and formed a strange sword gesture with his hands. He smiled wickedly. “Your Swordsmans.h.i.+p is still a little tricky. But I don’t want to play anymore. I’ll kill you with one strike… No, two strikes with two swords.”
Something strange happened.
The precepts of heaven and earth in the universe quickly gathered above Lan Ying’s head and formed another Lan Ying.
The purest Precepts of Swordsmans.h.i.+p in the precepts of heaven and earth formed Lan Ying.
The roaring sound of swords echoed in heaven and earth. It was not the real swords vibrating, but the Precepts of Swordsmans.h.i.+p in the world.
Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and said, “Heaven Sword Soul!”
A sword cultivator’s Sword Soul was divided into three levels: Man, Earth, and Heaven.
Zhang Ruochen’s Sword Soul was still at the level of the Earth Sword Soul.
All corners were already exclaiming in surprise.
“It’s the Heaven Sword Soul!”
“In the last 100,000 years, only a handful of sword cultivators in the Celestial and Infernal Court have cultivated the Heaven Sword Soul below the divinity. The only one who has cultivated the Heaven Sword Soul in the Thousand-Koan Realm is probably Lan Ying. Even Sword G.o.d Feng Chen from 1,000 years ago might not have cultivated it so early.”
“After cultivating the Heaven Sword Soul, the next step is to enter the divinity of Swordsmans.h.i.+p.”
“The sword soul not only cuts the physical body but also the saint soul of the cultivator. As for the Heaven Sword Soul, every sword technique is compatible with the Deva Path, and it also cuts the precepts of the cultivator. All defensive means are useless in front of the Heaven Sword Soul.”
“If the Heaven Sword Soul has appeared, then the winner has been decided.”
…
The two swords, Clearsky and l.u.s.tocean, flew around the Heaven Sword Soul of Lan Ying and merged with the Precepts of Swordsmans.h.i.+p between heaven and earth.
“Asura Cross-slas.h.!.+”
Lan Ying directly performed the ancient sword technique of Asura and pointed at Zhang Ruochen.
The swords, Clearsky and l.u.s.tocean, slashed out at the same time, forming a cross sword print.
At the cross intersection, it was like an endless s.p.a.ce in the universe. It absorbed all the matter in the world and trapped Zhang Ruochen so much that he could not move even half a step.
Back then, the Lan Ying, who had not yet cultivated the Heaven Sword Soul, had caused a lot of trouble for Que with the Asura Sword Technique.
Zhang Ruochen looked up. The cross-shaped sword print covered thousands of miles of s.p.a.ce. He could not see the end of it. It was as if four walls of light divided the world.
The divine light on Zhang Ruochen’s body surged. Then, a sea of stars spread out, forming a scene of the Sh.o.r.eless Star Ocean.
In the sea of stars, a bright moon rose.
The Mark of Time gathered berserkly toward the Ancient Abyssal Blade.
The fifth level of the Sword of Time, Moonlight Melody.
SWOOs.h.!.+
Zhang Ruochen thrust out his blade. The sea of stars and the bright moon gathered in the blade’s body, drawing a sword mark of Truth and Time.
The attack was ten times more powerful.
BOOM!
The blade’s tip hit the center of the cross-shaped sword mark, and the violent sword Qi exploded.
The Sword Qi hit Zhang Ruochen’s Armor of the Fire G.o.d like Raindrops, but the power was not strong enough to hurt the body in the armor.
The sword ray broke through the cross-shaped sword mark, through the Precept Domain of Lan Ying, and extended to his body.
His power was exhausted. Only a few Marks of Time landed on his body. They could hardly shorten his lifespan.
All the Infernal Court Supreme Saints watching the battle were shocked.
The Sword of Asura that Lan Ying used the Heaven Sword Soul to strike was broken by Zhang Ruochen just like that?
It must be known that when he fought with the Bans.h.i.+ Isshou Realm Supreme Saint, Lan Ying did not use the Heaven Sword Soul. He was far less serious than he was today.
“How did Zhang Ruochen become so strong? I remember he struggled to fight Lord Hornless on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting. It’s only been a few months!” Feng Qingli was very surprised and found it hard to understand.
The strength of a DemiG.o.d-level physique could not break the Sword of Asura under the Heaven Sword Soul.
Lan Ying’s eyes were full of surprise. He smiled and said, “In an instant, you can activate ten times the offensive power of the Path of Truth and integrate the Path of Time into the Path of Sword. Zhang Ruochen, I’m more interested in you than Que.”
“Let’s continue. I’d like to see if your DemiG.o.d-level physique can withstand the explosion of ten times the attack power.”
Zhang Ruochen could see that although Lan Ying had cultivated the Heaven Sword Soul, he hadn’t reached the stage where the Heaven Sword Soul and the way of Sword were one. There was a big gap between him and Xue Lingxian in using the Heaven Sword Soul. Therefore, he didn’t have much fear.
“Okay! Let’s fight!” Zhang Ruochen agreed.
“Stop!”
Xing Luo and the powerful figures of the Fane of Destiny flew over, and he shouted from afar.
“How troublesome. It’s the Fane of Destiny again.”
Lan Ying was a little depressed. He put the two swords, Clearsky and l.u.s.tocean, back into his body. He smiled darkly at Zhang Ruochen. “I have six swords. Today, you have only seen three. I haven’t released my saintwill, and I haven’t used the Universal Precept Domain to bully you. Let’s meet another day again. We’ll fight again. I’ll do my best to kill you. How about it?”
Zhang Ruochen put away the Ancient Abyssal Blade and said, “I can’t say I’ll be able to beat you. But if it’s a life-and-death battle, you’re dead!”
This wasn’t contradictory.
Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t use external forces, such as the Qiankun Realm.
It was indeed not easy to defeat Lan Ying.
If it was a life-and-death battle, Zhang Ruochen would have many tricks up his sleeve!
The arrival of the Fane of Destiny made Yuan Qianmo and Madam Nixuan stop fighting and retreat far away.
Some cultivators had already informed Xing Luo of the whole incident.
Xing Luo glanced at Zhang Ruochen, then took a few steps back and said, “Since it’s a dispute mediation, it’s still up to the Scioness to decide.”
Xing Luo was very clear about his position. Under internal and external troubles, he could not let the outside world think of internal conflict in the Fane of Destiny.
The power should be in the hands of the person in charge.
He had to make an example to support the new Scioness to the throne first.
However, when Yuan Qianmo heard Xing Luo say “Dispute mediation,” he showed a hint of surprise. There was a deep meaning in his words.
Did the Fane of Destiny intend to turn a significant event into a minor one?
