Chapter 886: Chapter 884: 9 Cauldrons Grotto Heaven

Yv Feng made his move.

Xu Yang’s heart tightened. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t worried.

If Yv Feng defeated the nine Venerable Tier-Three Grotto Heaven Guards first, the ownership of the Black and White Meteor Tower would be self-evident. However, feeling the nine auras gradually converging and intertwining in the air, Xu Yang silently exhaled, his expression solemn.

Yv Feng wouldn’t win that easily.

"The first to act is Yv Feng."

"Why do I feel like even someone as strong as Yv Feng won’t be enough against the Nine Venerable Grotto Heaven Guards?"

"Look at Yv Feng’s expression. He’s treating them like a formidable enemy."

"Although Yv Feng and Xu Yang are prodigies, their strength makes them standouts among those at the Late Stage of Golden Immortal. If he loses to the Grotto Heaven Guards, it means these guards are truly terrifying."

"Hurry up and fight!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Nine massive explosions abruptly shattered the sky. The Nine Venerable Grotto Heaven Guards erupted like lightning, surrounding Yv Feng. Their imposing auras surged like a rainbow, piercing the heavens and tearing the firmament.

The sky above the entire Hongtian Ancient City seemed to be violently ripped apart by nine giant swords, kicking up a terrifying storm that blotted out the sun. Formless might intimidated the entire audience.

At this moment, the Nine Venerable Grotto Heaven Guards held nothing back, unleashing their full firepower.

In the stands, the numerous experts below the Golden Immortal Extreme Realm were all suffocated by the pressure. Even those at the very Peak of Late-stage Golden Immortal turned exceedingly grave.

Such might was simply too powerful.

Yv Feng showed no fear. Facing the nine figures, he suddenly roared, "Come!"

As his voice faded, a metallic clash immediately followed. SWISH! SWISH!

Two ancient swords materialized out of thin air. Sword Intent erupted, as if it had been accumulating for billions of years, forcefully tearing apart the net-like blockade of auras the nine guards had condensed in the void.

The moment an expert makes a move, their true skill is revealed. In this clash of auras, Yv Feng was fiercely fearless. As a Sword Cultivator, he pressed forward with an indomitable will, piercing through everything.

RUMBLE!

The nine guards vanished from their spots simultaneously as nine violent hurricanes shot into the sky. Sword light, saber waves, fist seals, giant palms that blotted out the sky, shifting immortal patterns...

Nine great Divine Techniques and Secret Techniques exploded all at once, sealing the heavens and locking the earth. They instantly submerged Yv Feng from all directions.

CLANG!

The Tianhe and Shenxiao swords shot forth like intertwining giant dragons and serpents, crossing paths as their endless sharp edges tore through the vast ocean of incoming attacks.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Sparks flew in all directions. The ancient swords gained the upper hand, forcing back the enemy blades.

Yv Feng leapt into the air, wielding Tianhe in one hand and Shenxiao in the other. He executed his Double Sword Skill as naturally as moving his own arms, whipping up layers of scalp-numbing sword waves. Wherever they passed, they acted like surging tides in the void, crushing everything in their path.

For a time, the nine powerful Venerable Grotto Heaven Guards were actually held back.

The nine guards advanced and retreated in perfect coordination. Every move and stance implicitly contained a joint attack Array. They shifted front, back, left, right, up, and down, linking one strike to the next—faster and more ferocious with every passing second. They formed an inescapable net on the periphery, leaving not a single gap.

Watching this scene, Xu Yang couldn’t help but hold his breath. This level of combined attack was simply flawless.

Even though Yv Feng was overwhelmingly strong and exceptionally domineering, his offensive was gradually being suppressed under such a siege, despite his continued ability to fend off the nine guards.

"These nine have now entered their joint attack Array formation. The power each of them can exert has been massively enhanced.

"It’s no exaggeration to say that in their current state, each of these Tier-Three Grotto Heaven Guards possesses the strength of an expert at the Late Stage of Golden Immortal from a major sect.

"Working together, constantly suppressing and grinding down their opponent... even if four or five of us went up, we wouldn’t be able to stop them at all," said an expert at the Late Stage of Golden Immortal from the Vajra Sect. He was burly and emanated an astonishing aura. There were four or five similarly strong Late Stage of Golden Immortal experts beside him, but as they watched the battle, their expressions were all extremely grave.

"Yv Feng still has confidence," someone remarked.

"But the Grotto Heaven Guards haven’t used their Grotto Heaven fragments yet either," another added.

Xu Yang clenched his fists, his spine ramrod straight. He didn’t blink, unwilling to miss a single detail.

At a certain moment, the space around Yv Feng was compressed to a radius of less than ten feet. His space for survival was in imminent peril. A radiant sword light suddenly erupted in his eyes, as if two ancient swords were about to burst forth.

"Haa!" Yv Feng threw his head back and let out a long howl. Gripping a sword in each hand, he suddenly clashed them together.

CLANG!

Under his control, the two ancient swords abruptly joined. Pommel to pommel, with one blade pointing left and the other right, they looked like two golden maces that could split or merge at will.

Everyone who saw this straightened their backs.

"Yv Feng is getting serious."

CLANG!

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Yv Feng gripped the center of the combined ancient swords tightly with both hands. Following that, he flipped his wrists, and his figure twisted, becoming ethereal.

In an instant—WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

A twisting tornado rose from the ground, with him at its epicenter. Spinning madly, it expanded at a terrifying speed. Wherever it swept past, it invaded the space, devouring everything, while the Sword Qi shredded all it touched.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying storm erupted, even more dreadful than a domain. With Tianhe on the left and Shenxiao on the right, the two swords merged into one. The resulting tide of swords was like an overturning ocean, or like countless celestial waterfalls converging and weaving together. Visually, it manifested as a twisted vortex—distinctly black and white, representing yin and yang, yet intimately linked.

Xu Yang secretly drew in a breath of cold air. This fusion of the two swords was not the slightest bit inferior to the move Yv Feng had used when they fought previously. His Double Sword Skill could adapt and transform in a thousand ways depending on the situation and environment.

BOOM!

The Nine Venerable Grotto Heaven Guards grunted in unison, retreating uncontrollably. Faced with such a terrifying storm, their attacks couldn’t penetrate the slightest bit.

SWISH! SWISH!

The nine guards suddenly soared into the air. Their auras intertwined mid-flight, pushing their joint attack Array to its absolute limit.

BOOM!

The vortex of the sword tide trembled, stagnating for a single breath. But immediately after, its rotation resumed.

The nine guards were forced back down. Their joint attack had ended in failure.

"Yv Feng’s current state will only grow stronger.

"As long as they can’t break through it, Yv Feng will remain in an invincible position.

"Especially when he completely unleashes his pent-up power at the very end, it will be even more terrifying," an observer noted.

Brilliant light shot from Xu Yang’s eyes, his body filled with immense tension. He actually hoped Yv Feng would fail. However, if Yv Feng truly won, there was nothing he could do. Xu Yang felt that negotiating a trade with Yv Feng wasn’t entirely impossible. After all, there was no enmity between the two of them; as prodigies, it was merely a pure rivalry. And with Lord Mobai’s connection, Yv Feng probably wouldn’t refuse.

He pondered, "If it were me... I might not handle it as effortlessly as Yv Feng, but when it comes to methods of defeating them one by one, I am stronger than him."

Xu Yang’s thoughts churned, and he had already grasped the crucial point. Naturally, he had to play to his own strengths.

Defeat them one by one!

Right at this moment, an unusually bizarre ripple suddenly emerged, even masking the astonishing Sword Intent.

HUM!

"Grotto Heaven fragments."

Xu Yang’s entire body jolted.

He saw the nine guards exchange glances, hesitating no longer.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Blurry phantoms of light shot out from the space between the brows of the nine guards, converging in mid-air. Astonishingly, they were nine ancient cauldron fragments. They were entirely dark gold with primitive luminous patterns, clearly signifying they were no ordinary objects.

"Nine people, nine complete ancient cauldrons!"

"What kind of Grotto Heaven is this? To actually be able to nurture nine ancient cauldrons."

"These cauldrons... hiss, there’s a profound mystery here."

Seeing this scene, everyone in the crowd was horrified. These ancient cauldrons were all completely intact. Their auras were connected to one another, originating from the same source.

The nine ancient cauldrons spun and linked together in mid-air, forming a ring-like posture that shrouded Yv Feng’s Sword Qi vortex below.

HUM!

The nine cauldrons suddenly swelled, expanding rapidly. As they tumbled, their mouths turned to face downward. Like an Array with the cauldrons as its foundation, they firmly locked down the surrounding space.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Sword Qi storm was unexpectedly subjected to tremendous pressure. Its edges shattered piece by piece, its rotation nearly reversed.

"How is that possible?" Xu Yang cried out in a trembling voice.
