Douluo Dalu: 9 Treasure Sword - Chapter 243

Renxue spread her wings, the sky turning golden around her “Take this!” Over the golden sky, tens of golden red suns appeared.

“<Great Sun: Myriad of Sun Rising to Heaven>!” The suns started brighter, scorching flames surging from them, each one of them falling towards Bai.

“I will devour it” Bai calmly clenched his sword, black aura surging from it. However this time, the aura seemed more viscous “<Second Plate: Soap>!” Bai swung his sword upwards, the sword letting a trail of dense black water, creating something like a black water veil over Bai.

From every direction, the suns clashed to Bai’s veil, exploding in flames. However, they couldn’t penetrate over it, all the flames being absorbed by that viscous ‘soup’.

Bai tilted his sword, twisting changing its direction, pointing to the ground, Bai stabbed his sword on it “<Third Plate: Fish Dish>!” Black aura surged from Bai’s sword, transmitting over the ground.

“Crack!” Black spikes cracked open the ground surging upwards. They continuously grew over, more spines surging from the other as they climb their way towards Renxue. In an instant, 500 square meters of black forest of ‘fishbones’ was created trying to pierce over Renxue.

Seeing the spikes approaching, Renxue smiled placing her hands over her ċhėst “I accept my feelings” A radiant golden light surged from her ċhėst, her Angelic Saber appearing at her right hand. Absorbing Renxue’s holy aura, the saber trembled in joy, seemingly to be celebrating.

Bai instantly could feel it. The saber was far stronger than before. Before, there had been some kind of rejection between Renxue and her saber, Bai exploding that weakness to take control of the sword. However, now thanks to Renxue’s change of feelings, abandoning her anger and taking over the good feeling that let her past the last angel trial, the saber was completely in resonance with her. That wasn’t a sword that Bai even in his Sword God state could control, that saber was one with her.

The saber started eagerly absorbing sunlight, golden flames surging from it “Purify Heavens” Renxue slowly spun her body, tracing a single line around her with her saber.

“<Holy Zone>!” From the traced line, golden flames surged, exploding all over the sky in a scorching zone. All the oxygen was transformed into golden flames. The black spikes couldn’t resist the golden fire that started purifying them of their divine energy, disintegrating them.

A black ray crossed over the golden flames. Bai didn’t wait for his attack to finish. Just as he unleashed Fish Dish, he directly charged against Renxue flapping his black wings that again resembled bat ones, all his body exuding a great black aura that tried to devour heavens.

“<Fourth Plate: Meat Dish>” Bai’s sword started growing, becoming 5 meters long, a great dėsɨrė of devouring all over it. The sword eagerly devoured the golden flames around Bai not letting any burn him.

“Renxue!” Bai swung his giant sword over Renxue, unstoppable by the golden flames.

A light grin unconsciously appeared over Renxue’s lips, her eyes shined brightly “<Solar Sacred Saber>!” For an instant, the golden flames that covered the sky stopped still. Then, instantly all of them disappeared, absorbed by Renxue’s saber.

The saber started shining brightly with golden flames, growing becoming 2 meters long, its power reaching a new level. Renxue swung her saber over Bai.

“Boom!” Both swords clashed, golden and black aura surging in every direction. None of them being able to push over the other.

Both tilted their swords “Clank!” “Clank!” “Clank!” In an instant, more than tens of strikes were interchanged. After each strike, the quickly prepared for the next, each strike stronger than the one before. Bai’s sword continued devouring the energy of his surroundings while Renxue saber was continuously being nourished by both suns. The sky and earth trembled before their divine power, seemingly to the world collapsing around them.

Bai’s eyes glinted, he blocked one of Renxue’s slash, he twisted his wrist making Renxue’s saber follow his blade, at the same time that he positioned in a stab guard. Over Bai’s vision, a black line appeared, an opening!

Bai’s sword exploded in black aura, that was stopped by Renxue’s golden flames, returning to his usual form. Bai stabbed forward following the line “<Eight Plate: Drink>!” Bai’s black sword shot forward, becoming a thin black torrent of liquid.

Renxue smiled seeing the attack “<Myriad of Suns: Ascend>!” Before the torrent could hit her, tens of golden-red suns appeared all around her. The torrent pierced over, but instead of piercing Renxue’s body, a golden-red sun had replaced her, being devoured by Bai’s torrent.

“Jumping towards the 8th dish. I thought you will go in order” Renxue joked smiling brightly as her body flickered, appearing and disappearing over the tens of suns, each sun was a possible teleport spot. While continuously throwing golden fireballs towards Bai.

“The order is important when eating, but it’s most important to choose according to the needs. I will show you my menu, you!” Black aura surged from Bai’s sword that starting cracking all over.

“<Sixth Plate: Salad>!” Bai’s sword broke down in thousand of shreds shooting all around him. The black pieces danced all around Bai, seemingly beautiful sakura petals. It made a beautiful and lethal stamp, and slowly black dance that devoured even the air.

Renxue’s fireballs were instantly devoured by them. Renxue’s eyes shined with joy, she flicked all over the suns, avoiding Bai’s attack. However, Bai’s ‘Salad’ was quickly devouring all the suns, quickly leaving her without escape.

Just as the last sun was devoured and the attack was about to reach Renxue “You ate too much, Bai. Be aware to not have indigestion” Renxue grinned. “My energy is not so easily devoured” A golden light started surging from the interior of the black dancing fragments.

“Oh, fuċk!” Bai cursed while grinning.

“I dare you to eat it. <Red Giant>!” Renxue snapped her fingers. From each fragment, the suns that weren’t completely absorbed, expanded over with a great shining, becoming enormous suns.

“BOOOM!” All the fragments exploded causing a great explosion, swallowing over 5 kilometers area completely avoiding Renxue’s position.

“You won’t die for something so weak. Eh? Bai.” Renxue smiled, she flapped her wings, creating a great burst of air that dispersed all the smoke from the explosions, revealing a black cocoon floating over the sky. The black cocoon seemed hard yet soft and a cold aura was emitted from it.

“Crack!” The cocoon collapse revealing an almost uninjured Bai. “How could I die for that? Who do you take me for?” Bai grinned. In the last moment, Bai had recovered a part of his ultra divine weapon and unleashed his <Seventh Plate: Dessert>, creating a protecting cocoon around him that absorbed all the attacks from every direction.

The truth was that Bai had been in a dangerous situation. If Bai had not recovered enough fragments or he had taken one affected by Renxue’s suns, he would have been greatly injured. He was able to precisely take the bȧrėly enough to withstand the attack.

“Great!” Renxue brimmed in happiness “The warm-up had finished. Let’s get serious!” Renxue lifted her saber, a translucent golden light column descending over it from both suns. The saber started shined brighter, a great strength accumulating over it.

“This is in honor of you, Bai” Renxue smiled spreading her wings that curled around her saber. “Shing!” A blindly light surged from it. Then, revealing an over 500 meters long golden saber over Renxue’s hands. It exuded an incredible holy and fire power, enough to instantly purified a 5-kilometer aura around her.

“<Divine Solar Saber>!” Renxue swung her saber, descending it towards Bai.

Bai gulped sensing the attack approaching him. This wasn’t simply divine energy, it also contained a great qi. It was an incredible sword attack that had reached a peak. Even if the divine energy was taken from it, Bai couldn’t equal this holy intent, even with all the experience obtained after becoming the Sword God. Renxue had undoubtedly surpassed Bai in Holy Sword comprehension.

Bai focused all his Devour will over his sword, a strong black aura shooting from it, absorbing all his surroundings and creating a complete void over 5 kilometers around him. Bai backed the sword, a black pillar shooting from it, the sword growing, creating a giant pitch-black sword over 500 meters long, great hunger and devouring strength could be sense from it.

“<Fifth Plate: Main Dish>!” Bai swung upwards his sword.

Both swords crashed. Heaven and Earth shook over them, the mountains were evaporated over their clash, nothing being able to exist near them.

“Ahhh!” “Ahhh!” Both shouted focusing their strength over their swords, pushing forward, increasing even further the energy from the swords.

“BOOOOOOOM!” A great explosion flashed, non of the sword being able to last more against the other, destabilizing and exploding. Bai and Renxue being shot over opposite directions.

In mid-air, both of them recovered from the impact, spreading their wings finally stopping. Their armors were somewhat dented, their hair a little burned, but none grave injure could be found in their body. Even the damaged parts were quickly recovering at a visible speed. Renxue recovering under the sunlight while Bai using the devouring energy to recover.

“Great!” Renxue shouted happily “You’re great, Bai. I always liked fighting against you. You are the one that pushes me forward” Golden aura exploded over Renxue “Take my strongest attack!” Renxue clenched her saber that started shining brightly. Then, she threw it towards the sky, more specifically towards the new secondary sun. The saber flashed in golden flames disappearing over the sky.

“Receive my own divinity, Bai!” The second sun seemed to have absorbed the saber, it grew to double its size and becoming pure gold in color, bathing all the continent with a thick holy light.

“Brrrrrr!” The air started trembling. The second sun quickly increasing its size, his aura strengthening. No! It wasn’t growing, it was getting nearer, it was descending!

Renxue swung her arms, pointing at Bai “<Great Sun: Solarfall>!” The immense golden sun started falling over Bai.

Looking at the sun, it was so big that it was even difficult to see its size, but it was over 10 kilometers. Over 10 kilometers of pure holy divinity fell over Bai. This was a God-King rank power, this was Renxue’s evolved strength, her sense completely controlling nature.
