Chapter 9

After bidding farewell to the two people, Yun Yijian returned to the courtyard alone, took a hot bath, changed into a clean set of clothes, and took out the only iron box left by his mother. His heart was inexplicably excited.

Standing by the window, he watched the autumn wind cut through the withered leaves, feeling a wave of melancholy. The heavy rain poured down, lightning transformed into a long dragon, destroying the sky and earth, and in an instant, it struck the Purple Dawn Mountain, destroying a vast expanse of land.

The sky seemed to be foretelling that a storm was coming, and the heavens would not tolerate it!

"Ha ha, I want to step on the sky, and you can't stop me. I want to overshadow the immortals, and you can't resist me! I will surely continue the glory of the Void Body!"

Yun Yijian drew his three-foot green sword, the cold light intimidating. He lightly touched the tip of the sword, and a drop of essence blood fell onto the iron box.

As soon as the essence blood touched the iron box, it seeped directly into it. The iron box emitted a milky white light, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.

The milky white light was soft and not blinding, clearly showing the iron box split into two parts: a thin booklet and a beautiful jade bottle floated in the air.

The fresh red essence blood in the jade bottle surged with a heavenly battle spirit, as if it had a soul, terrifying and overwhelming. As soon as the essence blood emerged, the sky and earth trembled, and thunder roared.

A huge bolt of lightning, like a long dragon, swept through the void, shattering it, and everything in its path was destroyed.

"This is the essence blood left by my mother!" Yun Yijian's excited expression turned serious. Why did a single drop of blood cause the heavens to roar?

However, Yun Yijian didn't have time to think too much. Opening the pulse gates was the top priority. Without hesitation, he opened the jade bottle and swallowed the contents.

The bloodline connection was strong. As soon as the essence blood entered his mouth, it transformed into essence and spread throughout his body. A unique battle force surged into his heart meridian, and the seal was broken without any resistance.

Boom, boom, boom...

In that instant, thunderclouds rolled, and the heavens trembled. The pressure of the great way descended, suppressing all movement in the human world. All races fell silent, as if they were in a deep sleep.

The moment the seal was broken, the aura of the Void Body enveloped the Yun family's back mountain, like a supreme war god. His entire demeanor changed, and every move he made exuded the essence of the great way.

Yun Yijian felt the essence blood continuously impact his pulse gates, requiring no effort on his part. The efforts of over a decade erupted in that moment. Light circles, large and small, appeared around him. In just a short while, he broke through nearly seven pulse gates!

Gazing at the sky, Yun Yijian stepped out of the Yun family compound and walked deep into the back mountain.

In the main city, Nangong Qilan stared at the thunderclouds, her expression unchanged. After a moment of thought, she said, "Shasha, Wang Cheng, you two stay here. It won't be peaceful tonight. Don't wander around. Tianbao, come with me."

Nangong Qilan almost flew out of the main city, reaching her maximum speed, heading straight for the Yun family's back mountain. Yin Tianbao's expression twitched, a shadow of gloom in his eyes, but he followed without hesitation.

In the back mountain, by the waterfall.

Yun Yijian, impacted by the pulse gates, appeared almost transparent, his black hair flowing in the wind, standing in the air.

"Ten years of effort, success in one day! I will not bow to the heavens, I will overshadow the immortals with one hand!"

His voice was majestic, startling the heavens. Thunder rolled, and black clouds could not hide his radiant spirit. The darkness could not cover his brilliance!

Nangong Qilan and Yin Tianbao watched Yun Yijian from a distance, their souls trembling. This was the overwhelming aura of the Void Body, the might of the ancient war ancestor.

His invincible posture was evident, every gaze filled with authority. Yun Yijian raised his head, piercing through countless obstacles, directly meeting Nangong Qilan's eyes.

"What kind of body is this? Such a terrifying aura!" Yin Tianbao's fingers twitched, his voice cold. He felt a threat, a threat from Yun Yijian, because Nangong Qilan was paying too much attention to this young man!

"Supreme King Body! Otherwise, why would I bring him into the peak of the Nangong Yun? Brother Tianbao, this person cannot be an enemy!" Nangong Qilan looked at Yin Tianbao, concealing Yun Yijian's true body type.

The Supreme King Body was also a supreme body type, absolutely invincible at the same level. In terms of aura, it was no different from the Void Body. Only those who had touched the heart meridian could distinguish, which was why Nangong Qilan could deceive Yin Tianbao.

"Supreme King Body!" Yin Tianbao's face turned cold, a serious threat!

Nangong Qilan looked at Yin Tianbao's expression, feeling a bit disheartened. This senior brother was perfect in every way, except he couldn't stand her paying any attention to other men.

As the two were talking, a battle spirit surged into the sky, terrifying and unparalleled, the pulse light covering the entire back mountain.

"Fourteen pulse gates opened! Three main pulse gates, eleven minor pulse gates! Is this the capital of the Void Body's supremacy?" Nangong Qilan was shocked, staring at Yun Yijian, her heart calling out.

But then came even more violent thunderclouds, enveloping the entire Purple Dawn City. It was pitch black, but this piece of the sky could not be covered by the darkness.

"Is this heavenly punishment? How can someone in the Pulse Opening stage trigger a thunder calamity?" Yin Tianbao's expression relaxed, and he said calmly.

Few people in the world could withstand heavenly punishment. Throughout countless eras, only a few had truly survived it. In Yin Tianbao's eyes, Yun Yijian was a dead man.

"Ha ha, so what if it's heavenly punishment? The war ancestor could withstand it, and so can I!" Yun Yijian sneered, his pulse energy impacting the heavens, the full might of the Void Body bursting forth, surging into the sky.

With the three-foot green sword in hand, the scabbard shattered on its own, the cold sword energy shattering a piece of the sky. He took a step and leaped to the mountain peak.

Rushing water...

Lightning swept through the void, forming a black vortex, like a true dragon sweeping through the back mountain, turning everything in its path to dust.

"Second form of the Crimson Dawn Sword Technique, Sword Out Without Regret!"

Pulse energy surged through the three-foot green sword, transforming into sword energy, directly confronting the lightning dragon. All fourteen pulse gates opened simultaneously, his aura impenetrable.

Boom, boom, boom...

The two collided, the mountain shattered, and giant trees turned to dust. The piercing sound echoed into the sky.

The old ancestor of the Yun family stood in the room, not daring to move. He was a peak Pulse Opening and Spirit Refining expert. If he encountered a thunder calamity, it would surely trigger a counterattack. He had no confidence in surviving such heavenly punishment, which would be a hundred times more difficult to transcend, leading to certain death.

"Who is transcending in the Yun family's back mountain? Such a fierce thunder calamity should at least be at my level, definitely not someone from our Purple Dawn City!"

The old ancestor of the Yun family was furious but kept his pulse energy reined in, appearing like an ordinary person.

At this moment, in the back mountain, after the first collision, Yun Yijian's face turned pale, and he was thrown back hundreds of meters, crashing into the mountain, sending stone fragments flying.

"Such a powerful physical body. If not for his physical body, he would have a hard time withstanding the second thunder calamity!" Nangong Qilan commented.

"Even so, with his foundation, he won't last until the third thunder calamity!" Yin Tianbao said calmly. Without precious medicines or divine herbs, the accumulated injuries would be fatal after the third thunder calamity.

Yun Yijian let out a long roar, his palms glowing white, covering his wounds, which healed instantly. He then crushed a rock with his foot, using the explosive force to leap a hundred meters, returning to his original position.

Nangong Qilan instantly understood that this was the battle spirit of the Void Body at work; otherwise, it would be impossible to heal so quickly!

The second thunder calamity, like a bucket of water, transformed into a sharp sword, descending from the sky, as if to shatter the earth and bury everything.

Yun Yijian ascended against the heavens, transforming into a sharp sword, directly confronting the lightning dragon, and was swept into the dragon's body.

Rushing water...

The lightning dragon intertwined, exploding in the void. Yun Yijian fell from the sky, the three-foot green sword shattering into pieces, scattering in the valley.

"With this foundation, he still wants to break through the heavenly punishment, how naive..." Yin Tianbao sneered.

At that moment, Nangong Qilan flicked her finger, and the Evil-Slaying War Saber released its aura, destroying the remnants of the thunder calamity.

"Use mine!"

Nangong Qilan's Evil-Slaying War Saber flew out, transforming into a rainbow, slicing through the sky, and appeared before Yun Yijian in an instant.
