Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword - Chapter 228

Bai flew across the sky. Finally, landing once he was sure he was far enough from Bibi Dong or anyone else. Bai pierced the Asura Sword in the ground.

Following the Sword God’s words, to activate the last trial without Bai’s mother’s sacrifice there was a need to obtain Hei Qi’s sword fragments and faith. Even if there was no need for the Sword God’s faith, this faith should be somehow compatible with the Sword God, needing to be in the form of a sword.

Bai had first thought about Renxue’s divine weapon, the Angelic Sword, and Asura’s Sword from Tang Chen. Deciding the latter due to the simplicity of it, being much easier to kill Tang Chen than directly charging over Spirit City. There was also the fact that Bai knew that the time was approaching, Renxue near to become a goddess.

Obtaining the Asura Sword became more difficult than he thought due to Xiaogang and Bibi Dong’s interference, but Bai was able to obtain it.

Thanks to his torso spirit bone, it wouldn’t be too far exed to say that Bai’s body was made of swords. He could even absorb other swords to heal his wounds and try to improve his physique, not like at the level that he had reached, there would be a lot of beneficial enough for him. Bai’s plan was to absorb the Asura Sword, absorbing the faith contained there.

Bai’s body started shining with gray light, he approaching the Asura Sword. A flash of gray light shined when Bai touched it.

“Crack!” Bai’s body shuddered, cracks appearing all over his body as a great killing intent exuded from the sword attacked him

“Crack!” Bai’s body broke up. However, no blood or organs surged, instead, swords that seemed to have composed his body separated from each other, lifelessly falling to the ground.

A gray light started surging from the separated swords, 8 spirit rings appearing over them. The swords started standing like moved with an invisible force. They started spinning all over the Asura Sword, each sword shining with a different color and their own auras slowly subduing the Asura Sword’s aura as they approach it. A tornado was formed by all the swords, lifting a lot of dust.

After 20 seconds, the tornado dispersed, in its place Bai stood there with a pale face “Fuck. Dying is never a pleasant experience”. Unintentionally, Bai had used his Immortality technique from his torso spirit bone to be able to absorb the sword. This meant that he would need a month to be able to use it again, not being available for the near battles that were to come.

Bai could feel a strange aura inside him, this one full of killing intent. It was flowing a little rampant all over his body, not completely subjugated. “It would take some time” Bai deduced that it would take some time before he was able to ‘digest’ it. He sat cross-legged and started meditating, discovering that the Deathgod domain helped to subjugate it, he continued meditating in a hurry to finish as soon as possible.

————————————————————————————————————–

Renxue left Spirit City. With her new divine sense, her sense could cover a great distance. She could sense how the allied army of Heaven Dou and Star Luo empires had crossed Jianling Pass, entering the plain towards Spirit City. How the Spirit Empire’s forces were being overwhelmed by numbers, struggling to stop their advance. Renxue had already decided, she would finish this war, fulfilling her grandfather’s dream.

As she was approaching the battleground, something or someone at hight speed entered her divine sense. Renxue lifted her left hand, exerting her control. A sphere of high-condensed light and spirit energy that approached her stopped still at 5 meters of her under her control.

“Boom!” the sphere exploded. However, due to Renxue’s aura, the explosion seemed to avoid her, not daring to taint her holy image.

“What are you trying to do here, Bai Chenxiang?” Renxue instantly discovered the aggressor. Chenxiang was over 5 kilometers away, but for Renxue it was like if she was next to her.

Renxue’s wings flapped, she disappeared only leaving a wave of holy power behind, instantly appearing in front of Chenxiang “Did you come here to be the first one to die by a goddess?”

Chenxiang was a little flustered sensing the holy aura and cold face devoid of any feeling of Renxue. Her power was several times stronger than what Chenxiang had previously supposed. She had detected someone reaching godhood at Spirit City. Knowing that a god could change the tide of the war, she decided to at least entertain the god, gaining time with her speed.

Moreover, she had received the Ligh Goddess’s revelation with her last trial, passing it, meaning that she would be able to reach godhood. As the Light Goddess said her last trial would be a Hide and Seek game. She must make her presence known to the new god and escape from that god’s sense.

Seeing Renxue standing in front of her, Chenxiang was surprised, not expecting Renxue to attain godhood. Renxue’s aura and 10 rings over her made her unmistakable a goddess, an extremely powerful at that. If Chenxiang said that she wasn’t worried, it would be a lie. She had faith over her own speed, thinking that this Hide and Seek game could be won. But seeing the overwhelming presence and power of Renxue, she started to have doubts.

“Renxue” Chenxiang said coldly, she breathed calming herself. She invoked her Light Rapier and revolved her spirit energy preparing to fight. Even if her objective was only to escape, she knew that she must give her all.

“I came here for my revenge, things will be different than the last time. I won’t let you approach Bai!” Chenxiang tried to affect Renxue’s mood. Chenxiang wasn’t dense as other, she knew that between Bai and Renxue there was something, Renxue clearly affected when Bai was named. Chenxiang tried to make use of this. A Renxue that let herself been controlled by her emotions would be easier to trick and escape.

However, to Chenxiang’s surprise, Renxue’s face remained cold, not slightly affected.

“Revenge? Bai?” Renxue huffed “I had left behind such worldly matters. My view is beyond that. I will quickly finish my affairs here and ascent to the Divine Realm. Everyone that block my way would die, it didn’t matter who they are.” Renxue spread her wings, holy aura exuding from them, suppressing Chenxiang.

Chenxiang clenched her rapier, she leaned her body forward while backing her sword. Chenxiang rings shined “<Light God 1st Rapier: Unseen Stab>” A flash of light shined over Chenxiang, she appearing over Renxue.

Before, she required great preparation and efforts to unleash her rapier techniques. But with her boost in cultivation and control, having attained the rank 96 super douluo, now she could unleash them instantly.

Chenxiang widely opened her eyes shocked. Renxue had stopped her attack, two of her finger gripping the blade of the rapier with a casual move. Chenxiang couldn’t go forward, it was like an immovable mountain had blocked her rapier.

“Ultimate Light” Renxue stated seeing Chenxiang’s attack. Renxue released the grip, letting the rapier stab over her armor. However, the rapier could go further, Chenxiang could feel her rapier being rejected by Renxue’s armor, like same charged poles. “It is powerful, but against me is completely useless. Even if my main control is over fire, light also obeys me.”

Chenxiang focused her power on her rapier “<Light God 2nd Rapier: Rapid Comet>” Chenxiang started thrusting countless stabs over Renxue, her rapier moving at an incredible speed, creating afterimages with each move. Each stab created a trail of light that started surrounding Chenxiang who started resembling a comet surrounded by the stale that illuminated her surroundings

However, it didn’t matter how many times or how fast she hit. Even with an unresponsive Renxue who only stayed there still, non of her attacks could go through Renxue’s defense.

Chenxiang spread open her wings that started shining with different light, somehow it seemed to even collect the light of her surroundings “<Light God 3th Rapier: Light that Burns the Sky>!” Her rapier absorbed all the light from her, even creating a little pure darkness surrounding her, with a complete absence of light.

Chenxiang thrust her rapier forward shining with a beautiful and powerful light “BOOOOM!” A great explosion occurred as Chenxiang hit Renxue unleashing all the accumulated light. At the same time, a red glow appeared over Chenxiang who used her 9th ring.

From the explosion a hundred of light flashes surged, extending over different directions resembling fireworks. Looking closely enough, each one of them was one of Chenxiang’s clones, each one of them having a high spirit energy concentration. Chenxiang unleashed an extremely powerful skill only to distract and create an opportunity for her true aim, escape. Long had she discovered that she didn’t have any possibility of beating her. She would escape and face her later on also as a goddess.

“Now you are trying to run away?” Renxue flapped her wings. With her divine senses, it was easy to detect the real one. She appeared over a flying Chenxiang, extending her hand over Chenxiang. Just as Renxue was about to touch Chenxiang, this one dispersed in light particles, making it known that it was a simple clone.

“This is your game?” Renxue instantly realized that each Chenxiang was a clone and at the same time was a real one, the real one capable of changing between them. If it was a conscious act or automatic, Renxue didn’t know it. “Let’s play it then.”

Renxue spread her wings, holy aura spreading from her, turning the sky around her golden. 10 mini red-golden suns appeared around her “<Sun Rising to Heaven>” Each of the sun starting morphing, each one forming a clone of Renxue.

Each Renxue chased after the flying Chenxiang. With each flash of light, a Renxue appeared over a Chexiang, destroying her. It was clear that Renxue was much powerful and faster, even if her numbers were far lower, she quickly was extinguishing all the Chenxiang.

A red ring shined over the Chenxiangs “Boom!” “Boom!” More fireworks exploded, forming even more Chenxiang whose only objective was to run away.

Renxue’s clones disappeared “I am getting tired of this game” Renxue coldly stated. A golden light shined from her heart, her Angelic Saber appearing at her hand. She lifted her saber pointing it at the sky. “<Light of Trial>” At the sky, both Suns reacted turning themselves golden-red. A golden light descended from the Suns over Renxue and all the Chenxiangs.

Being hit by the scorching light that seemed to burn over their spirit energy, the clones couldn’t keep it up, dispersing in light particles.

“Buah!” The only Chenxiang remaining vomited blood, a great deal of her spirit power being consumed by the Suns.

Renxue approached Chenxiang and casually swung her saber. A thin line appeared crossing Chenxiang’s body. Blood surged from it as Chenxiang’s body was split in half.

Renxue looked coldly at the half-cut body “You think that this would trick me” Renxu extended her left hand exerting her divine control. Where Renxue was pointing, a pale looking Chenxiang appeared, breaking her stealth. Chenxiang had tried to create a plot, trying to fool Renxue’s sense to not bail.

Chenxiang found herself being pulled by Renxue. Chenxiang shot attracted towards Renxue, Renxue gripping her for her neck, asphyxiate her. “Die” Renxue started slowly exerting more strength in her hand. Chenxiang finding more difficult to breathe each second as she struggled to try to be released from Renxue’s grips, but she was too strong.

“Stop!” Renxue turned her head towards the new voice, a giant Clear Sky Hammer was approaching her. Tang San was wielding his Clear Sky Hammer, swinging it to Renxue, trying to stop her from killing his cousin.

Tang San and Chenxiang were together when they detected someone ascending to godhood. They both. When he saw his cousin rushing towards the god, he immediately followed her. Being much slower than Chenxiang, he sensed the battle from afar, only to be finished, Chenxiang at the border of death when he finally arrived.

Tang San’s spirit rings burst “<Great Summeru Hammer: Exploding Ring>!” With each explosion, a great deal of spirit energy burst, being absorbed and accumulated by the Clear Sky Hammer whose might increased. The mightly giant hammer covered the Suns as it approached Renxue.

Without even releasing Chenxiang, Renxue swung her saber shining with a golden light. Hammer and saber clashing, the air around them trembling under both immense forces. It was shocking how such a thin saber could resist under the strong and heavy hammer, but not only the saber resisted, Renxue showed her strength, the saber surpassing the strength of the hammer, pushing it.

“Crack” The Clear Sky Hammer started cracking, Tang San vomiting blood. Renxue’s saber cut forward, slicing the hammer in two. In such an opening, a little blue blade from Tang San crossed over the hammers’ halves. This was the 1st ranked hidden weapon of the Tang Sect, Guanyin’s Tear. The hidden weapon with the greatest piercing strength. Tang San had refined his own blood, extracting the water from it, condensing all his strength and soul over it, shooting it towards Renxue, taking advantage when she was cutting his hammer.

Just as the Guanyin’s Tear was about to reach Renxue, Renxue’s forehead glowed. Her twelve wings mark over her forehead shined brightly, her halo bursting in golden flames, unleashing her true mental strength and sense. She focused them over the tear, completely stopping it before it could even reach her, all of Tang San’s movements had been under her control.

“Useless” She contineud swinging her saber, slashing it towards Tang San who was too weakened to even try to evade or block.
