Novel Full Chapter 347 Fate Severing Slash!
Chapter 347 Fate Severing Slash!
Bai Zihan has been meditating in Bai Clan’s training Ground ever since his arrival a week ago.
He seemed to have compounded something about Fate which was the true essence for Fate Severing Slash!
The Saint-Grade Sword Technique which he couldn’t fully comprehend despite training it for more than a year.
He had always fallen short. The technique demanded something beyond power, beyond comprehension-something intangible.
But now, he thought that he had finally grasped the final essence needed to use the Fate Severing Technique.
Bai Zihan slowly opened his eyes.
The air around him had grown unnaturally still, as though the world itself awaited his next move.
He raised his right hand, and with a flash of light, a sword appeared within his grasp.
The Eternal Spirit Sword!
He inhaled slowly, his chest rising.
Then-
He swung.
“Fate Severing Slash!”
The sword light that erupted from his blade wasn’t dazzling—it was terrifyingly powerful.
It cut through the air like the judgment of the heavens themselves. No-it was as if it defied what Heaven stood for.
Boom-!
A deafening explosion shook the entire training ground.
The protective formations screamed as countless runes flared, trying desperately to hold back the overwhelming Qi.
For an instant, the entire chamber was engulfed in a blinding white light.
Then came the sound of shattering glass-the sound of the Grade-6 Protective Formation breaking apart.
“Th-the formation’s collapsing!”
Guards stationed around the training group for the safety of Bai Zihan
immediately surged toward the disturbance.
Alarm talismans flared crimson as they activated emergency response protocols.
Within seconds, several powerful auras descended around the shattered chamber-each one belonging to a Bai Clan elite cultivator.
Their faces were grim, expecting some kind of assassination attempt on Bai Zihan like before.
“Young Master, are you alright?”
The massive chamber lay in ruins-cracks still flickering faintly in the air, Qi swirling like a tempest.
“Damn! Is it the Great Ascension Realm Assassin this time?”
“Call the Elders! We might not be able to handle such a powerful assassin!”
The Group of guards were instantly cautious as they felt very powerful attack on the broken Formation.
They slowly entered the Training Ground, expecting the Assassin who infiltrated their Bai Clan.
However, there was only one person in the training Ground, Bai Zihan, sword in hand, his clothes fluttering from the lingering shock.
He was unharmed. Completely untouched.
His expression was calm, almost indifferent.
Seeing the guards’ alarmed expressions, he lowered his sword slightly and said in an even tone,
“There’s no need to panic. It was my mistake.”
He glanced at the shattered barrier and continued lightly, “I was the one who broke it.”
The guards stared in stunned silence.
His words echoed in their minds-He broke it? Himself?
That barrier wasn’t some simple defense.
It was a Grade-6 Protective Formation, personally designed by the Clan’s chief formation masters to withstand even attacks from a Great Ascension Realm cultivator.
And Bai Zihan-merely in the Spirit Severing Realm-had destroyed it.
Just how strong was he now?
They couldn’t even begin to imagine.
Some of them exchanged glances, their expressions wavering between awe and disbelief.
Anyways, since Bai Zihan was safe, there was no longer any need for them to
worry.
After receiving his assurance, the guards finally relaxed. They exchanged uneasy glances, then began withdrawing from the chamber.
“Make sure to record everything and send a report to the formation department,” one of them said, still looking at the shattered barrier with lingering disbelief.
“Yes. We’ll request immediate repair.”
When it came to matters involving Bai Zihan, there was never any hesitation. No matter how costly the damage, the clan would approve it without question. Of course, many of them couldn’t help but feel a little envious.
The resources, formations, and treasures Bai Zihan had access to were beyond what most could even dream of.
But they also knew-he deserved it.
His talent was almost unmatched, not only in the Bai Clan but in the history of the Desolate Heaven Empire.
But what the guards didn’t know was, it wasn’t just because of Bai Zihan’s talent that he has access to almost unlimited resources.
Bai Zihan’s contributions to the clan had already surpassed those of countless elders and geniuses combined.
The Saint-Grade Artifact he had donated to the Bai Clan alone held immeasurable value. Even great sects might go to war for such a treasure. There was also Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique which raised the talent and Cultivation of Bai Clan.
So what was a single Grade-6 Protective Formation, compared to those?
Besides, if a formation in the training ground was broken, it was never considered the trainee’s fault-especially not when the trainee was Bai Zihan. After the guards had left, Bai Zihan exhaled softly, his eyes still faintly glowing
from the lingering energy of the Fate Severing Slash.
He could feel it-the faint trace of something new within his sword.
A fragment of the power he sought.
The corner of his lips lifted ever so slightly.
He sheathed his sword and murmured,
“System!”

[Host Info]
Host: Bai Zihan
Age: 18
Cultivation Realm: Spirit Severing (Early)
Constitution: Supreme Dao Bone Martial Arts:
Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword (Greater Mastery)
Eternal Flowing Water Sword (Minor Mastery)
Fate Severing Slash (Beginner Mastery)
Fate Severing Slash was finally registered in his info, marking that he had truly
grasped it.
Of course, there was still a long way to go before perfecting it, but it was already so powerful even without him fully understanding its essence-he could only imagine how terrifying it would become once mastered. However, the Qi consumption to use this technique was enormous, to the point that even he who possessed vast reserves of Qi-might be exhausted after using it twice.
If it were any average cultivator, they would likely need to reach the Great Ascension Realm before even daring to attempt to learn such a technique. Well, considering how powerful he already was, Bai Zihan thought this technique might only be needed when going against Great Ascension Realm experts or above.
As for Void Refinement Realm cultivators, he had tested himself enough to know that he could fare well against them even without needing to rely on Fate Severing Slash.
“Shall I head back to Heaven Sword Sect?”
It wasn’t as if he needed to-nor was he attached to them like his sister, Bai Xueqing, since he hadn’t learned a single thing from that sect.
The only reason he ever went there was because of the high possibility of encountering a Heaven Chosen, though he had only met one.
Well, two, if he included Bai Xinyue, but she had already left the Heaven Sword
Sect.
Still, that was more than enough, considering just how rare it was to encounter
a Heaven Chosen.
More than that, however, he wanted to return because of Kong Zhanhong and the information the latter might have gathered during his absence.
Many things seemed to have happened while he was comprehending the Fate
Severing Slash technique.
For one, there had been a change of emperor in the Falling Star Empire which
shocked nearby Empires.
Every nearby empire had received an invitation to the coronation of the new
Empress Sun Yaoqing.
The Bai Clan, too, received one-despite the invitation usually being limited to
royalty and not extended to clans outside the Falling Star Empire. Bai Tianheng had already received the report and understood why the invitation was sent to them.
He had one of the elders attend the coronation on behalf of the Bai Clan.
Sun Yaoqing also sent a personal message to Bai Zihan.
She stated that she couldn’t locate either Elder Shuhai or Chong Sheng.
As for Chong Sheng, there were traces of his movements, but it seemed he was doing a good job of hiding-especially since his identity as a Demonic Cultivator had been exposed, and the Quan Clan had issued a wanted notice for him.
Elder Shuhai, on the other hand, had completely vanished. It was as if he had disappeared from the Falling Star Empire after that incident.
Another change was how some people had begun praising the Bai Clan for
saving the people of Willowshade.
Those survivors had been spreading songs of gratitude ever since they were rescued, and the story quickly spread throughout the region.
This was especially amplified by the fact that many nearby sects and clans had
failed to send reinforcements in time-and were now being harshly criticized
for it.
These days, sects and clans tend to prioritize their own interests and survival rather than helping others.
As a result, public dissatisfaction had been growing, especially as more and more people died needlessly due to delayed aid.
In that sense, the Bai Clan’s reputation had improved slightly. However, there was also troubling news-an increase in Demonic Beast
invasions.
It seemed Willowshade was not the only town that had suffered a sudden attack from Demonic Beasts.
Several parts of the Desolate Heaven Empire had been assaulted by Demonic Beasts, and unlike Willowshade, many towns had been completely wiped out. Countless people were now fleeing their homes in fear, seeking safety in the Capital City, which was generally considered more secure.
The capital was now struggling to handle this sudden influx of refugees.
