Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Destruction Sword Realm

Yi Xiaoyao was taken aback when he saw Jin Sanbao burst through the roof. ’That fatty’s reactions are so fast!’

Immediately after, a burst of astonishing Spiritual Power erupted from the rear of the cylindrical puppet Jin Sanbao was sitting in, carrying him away until he vanished over the horizon.

Seeing this, Yi Xiaoyao nodded in relief.

They had agreed beforehand that if they ran into trouble, Jin Sanbao would escape on his own. That way, Yi Xiaoyao could act without any reservations.

Leng Bingchuan, however, paid Jin Sanbao’s escape no mind. His sole focus was on the Yi Xiaoyao before him.

"Blood Sword, your strength is indeed impressive, but within my Realm of Ice and Snow, you’re not only no match for me, your speed will also be severely hampered. You can’t escape even if you try!"

Leng Bingchuan sneered again and continued, "I’ve said it before. Hand over the Celestial Fire Illusion Body and the Secret Technique that boosts your Cultivation, and I’ll spare your life! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

Yi Xiaoyao stared at Leng Bingchuan. ’It’s true,’ he thought. ’Under the suppression of this Realm, the range of my Celestial Fire Illusion Body’s Instant Illusion is severely limited. Escaping will be almost impossible.’

Despite this, Yi Xiaoyao simply chuckled. "Since you want the Celestial Fire Illusion Body so badly, I’ll give you a demonstration."

"Celestial Fire Hundred Illusions!"

The next instant, flashes of fiery light sparked and condensed in the void, forming a hundred Flame Illusion Bodies that looked identical to Yi Xiaoyao.

Each Flame Illusion Body was a thousand zhang from the next, and this was only the distance he could manage under the suppression of the Realm of Ice and Snow. With Yi Xiaoyao’s current Cultivation at the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm, the gap between each Illusion Body could have been far greater.

However, this was more than enough.

In that moment, the Flame Illusion Bodies filled tens of thousands of zhang of empty space, and Yi Xiaoyao’s true body vanished without a trace.

"I’ve given you your demonstration. Did you learn anything?"

Yi Xiaoyao’s voice echoed throughout the space filled by the hundred Flame Illusion Bodies, its source constantly shifting.

Leng Bingchuan’s expression changed at the sight of this.

Not only did these hundred Flame Illusion Bodies look identical to Yi Xiaoyao, but each one’s aura was also remarkably similar. It was impossible to quickly tell the real from the fake, let alone find Yi Xiaoyao’s true body among so many illusions.

Leng Bingchuan relentlessly attacked the Flame Illusion Bodies, destroying one after another. Even when he managed to locate and strike Yi Xiaoyao’s true body, it would transform into just another illusion in the next instant.

Then, the hundred Flame Illusion Bodies shot off in every direction, leaving a peal of laughter behind.

"Since you’re such a slow learner, I won’t be staying to play!"

Leng Bingchuan gritted his teeth in frustration. He had no attack that could cover such a staggering area. Unless Yi Xiaoyao dared to get close, there was no way he could stop him from escaping.

This, however, only made Leng Bingchuan’s desire for the Celestial Fire Illusion Body burn even hotter.

"Blood Sword! I’ll give you five days! Hand over the Celestial Fire Illusion Body within five days, or I’ll spread the news that you’re still alive!"

Finally, Leng Bingchuan bellowed his threat.

But from the void, Yi Xiaoyao merely sneered upon hearing this.

"Why wait five days? I’ll be back to kill you in three!"

Before his voice had even faded, the hundred Illusion Bodies flickered and shifted, vanishing over the horizon.

As Yi Xiaoyao and his Flame Illusion Bodies scattered to escape, one of the illusions came across Jin Sanbao, who was frantically piloting his Flying Puppet to flee for his life.

With a flicker of an Instant Illusion, Yi Xiaoyao swapped places with the Flame Illusion Body and landed heavily inside Jin Sanbao’s puppet.

The last of Yi Xiaoyao’s Spiritual Power had been completely drained from using Celestial Fire Hundred Illusions to escape over such a great distance, and his face was incredibly pale.

"This puppet can fly this fast?" Yi Xiaoyao asked in surprise.

"It’s powered by two Nascent Souls from the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm. Of course it’s fast!"

Jin Sanbao said, his heart aching at the loss, "Wasting two Nascent Souls from the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm just for a single meal... If I’d known, I wouldn’t have eaten!"

Yi Xiaoyao gave a wry smile. It was his own fault for being too confident. He hadn’t expected Leng Bingchuan to have mastered a power on the level of a Realm, which led to this disastrous start.

"They’re only two Nascent Souls from the third level of the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm," Yi Xiaoyao said to Jin Sanbao. "In three days, I’ll get you one from the seventh level!"

Jin Sanbao was startled, as he obviously understood what Yi Xiaoyao was planning.

"You’re still going after that guy?" Jin Sanbao asked worriedly. "But you’re no match for him!"

Yi Xiaoyao sneered. "The only reason I can’t beat him is because he has mastered a Realm. If I master a Realm as well, how could he possibly be my opponent?"

Mastering a Sword Realm was exactly what Yi Xiaoyao planned to do next.

The reason he was so certain he could master a Sword Realm within three days was that Yi Xiaoyao was different. He just needed to raise the Elemental Spirit Sword in his Right Dantian to the level of the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm. Then, just as he had previously grasped Sword Qi, Sword Momentum, and Sword Intent, he would naturally master a Sword Realm.

In fact, he could have elevated the Elemental Spirit Sword as soon as he entered the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm. He had delayed until now because he wanted to further stabilize his Cultivation Realm first, ensuring a smoother breakthrough for the sword.

Now, the time for that breakthrough was clearly ripe.

Next, sitting inside the Flying Puppet, Yi Xiaoyao began the process of breaking through with his Elemental Spirit Sword.

At that moment, inside his Right Dantian, endless, raging black Sword Qi swirled around the Elemental Spirit Sword before frantically converging upon the sword itself.

According to the Devouring Sword God Technique, this Elemental Spirit Sword could eventually be nurtured into a true Divine Sword capable of slaying immortals and annihilating gods.

And now, the Elemental Spirit Sword’s next stage was the Primordial Spirit True Sword.

Similar to a Nascent Soul advancing to the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm, once the Elemental Spirit Sword evolved into the Primordial Spirit True Sword, it would gradually condense into the form of a true sword, and the power of its Sword Qi would undergo a qualitative leap.

Because Yi Xiaoyao was in the middle of his breakthrough, Jin Sanbao didn’t dare to land, instead just controlling the Flying Puppet to fly about aimlessly in the sky.

The next day, Yi Xiaoyao was still cultivating with his eyes closed.

By the third day, he was still in the midst of his Cultivation.

"Yi Xiaoyao, oh, Yi Xiaoyao, when are you going to be done cultivating? I’m going to starve to death!"

Jin Sanbao muttered, lying listlessly on the Flying Puppet as he eyed the two nearly depleted Nascent Souls. ’Looks like I’ll have to find a hidden spot to land soon,’ he thought.

But at that very moment, Yi Xiaoyao’s eyes snapped open, glinting with a brilliant light. Simultaneously, astounding phantoms of giant black swords materialized in the surrounding space. The surfaces of these phantoms were covered in an extremely dense network of black fissures.

These fissures resembled Void Rifts, each one emitting a terrifyingly destructive aura suffused with Destructive Sword Intent.

"Destruction Sword Realm!"

Sensing the aura of this new realm, Yi Xiaoyao broke into a hugely satisfied grin.
