Chapter 700: 554
Since capturing the Returning Ruins Divine Wind at the ruins of the Fan Guang Sect, Su Yuan immediately initiated the evolution of the Divine Wind Skill.
Before the sword battle, he spent nearly two months completing its evolution and directly elevated it to the Transformation Realm.
The Divine Wind Skill, Oath of Returning Ruins!
It allowed the user to observe their future True Self through the power of the Returning Ruins Divine Wind and borrow strength from that future self to enhance their cultivation.
Using the Oath of Returning Ruins required the consumption of Ruins Time, initially possessing four units, perfectly possessing ten units of Ruins Time.
The longer the observation and the more power borrowed, the more Ruins Time consumed.
Ruins Time accumulated one unit per day, its intensity determined by the power of the Returning Ruins Divine Wind. The Returning Ruins Divine Wind would grow with its Imperial Master upon being refined. Therefore, as Su Yuanâs realm increased, so did the intensity of Ruins Time.
With the current power of the Returning Ruins Divine Wind, one unit of Ruins Time equaled roughly 100 days. Exhausting all ten units would allow observation up to three years into the future.
Perhaps due to nearing a breakthrough, Su Yuan not only observed a stronger future self without watching too far; after using all ten units of Ruins Time, he even borrowed Radiant Moon Level power!
For ordinary people, this skillâs effect was simply inconceivable.
First, it completely elevated the realm, not just one or a few attributes.
Second, achieving enhancement from Shining Star Level to Radiant Moon Level with common enhancement skills was nearly impossible.
As seen with Tong Mingâs Blood Slaughter Saint Body and Ji Changyeâs Soul Elegy.
Tong Ming enhanced himself to the Shining Star Limit, infinitely close to Half-step Radiant Moon.
Ji Changye could just exceed the Shining Star Limit to reach Half-step Radiant Moon with Soul Elegy. However, a side effect released his soul.
Given Su Yuanâs current realm, using the Burial Sun technique from the Great Sun Burning Body Technique should also reach Half-step Radiant Moon.
But âHalf-step Radiant Moonâ exists because the gap between Shining Star and Radiant Moon is too vast, forming an intermediate state.
In simple terms, it still doesnât reach Radiant Moon.
However, with the Oath of Returning Ruins, he managed to elevate a Shining Star Level to Radiant Moon Level.
Much like Time Reversalâs powerful restoration, the Power of Time could achieve unbelievable feats due to different principles.
Thatâs why the Time Skill is strong, and the Time Law is one of the Ten Ultimate Laws.
At this moment, Jiang Heng fixed his eyes on Su Yuan, feeling unease at his sudden Radiant Moon Level strength.
Jiang Hengâs arrogance relied fundamentally on his strength, which surpassed all Fighting Sword Disciples at the Radiant Moon Level.
However, Su Yuanâs Oath of Returning Ruins completely leveled the realm difference!
As for Radiant Moon Level combat experience, Jiang Heng had just broken through. Su Yuan, due to time constraints, was also using the Oath of Returning Ruinsâ future power for the first time, making no significant difference between them.
Jiang Heng took a deep breath, suppressing the unease in his heart, his expression turning cold.
âItâs truly shocking. You crossed the Star-Moon Gap to reach Radiant Moon Level? But with such a substantial enhancement, you probably canât maintain it for long!â
âIndeed, it wonât last long. But as long as I kill you before thatâŠâ Su Yuan chuckled softly, his figure flickering as he instantly appeared behind Jiang Heng.
âInstant Teleportation?â
Jiang Hengâs pupils contracted, and he swung around to punch.
âClang!â
A visible white shockwave exploded, tearing apart large swathes of the Qingming Realmâs mountains and ground from the aftershock of that ordinary strike.
The Space Power surging on Su Yuanâs saber turned golden under the Oath of Returning Ruins, embedding a bloody mark on Jiang Hengâs fist.
âDamn it!â
Finding himself at a slight disadvantage, Jiang Heng took another swing at Su Yuan!
Su Yuanâs body flowed with Golden Wind, passing rapidly by Jiang Heng and slashing his back, leaving another blood mark.
âSuch speed!â
Jiang Heng, shocked, formed a hand seal with his left hand, vigorously activating Juxia Dou, enveloping them with a sweeping purple qi.
The Undead Evil Fire did not grow under the Oath of Returning Ruins. While it could resist the purple qi of Juxia Dou around Su Yuan to some extent, it lacked the initiative to attack fully.
However, the Oath of Returning Ruins did more than enhance the realmâŠ
Su Yuan was still covered with a golden wind-like layer resembling a windbreaker.
This was the effect of the Transformation Realm Oath of Returning RuinsâRuins Spirit!
With effects similar to the Ruins Divine Feather, although not matching its terrifying speed boost, it could dissipate energy touching Su Yuanâs body in an instant.
That meant that most energy falling on the golden Ruins Spirit around Su Yuan would dissipate by itself!
âJuxia Dou is ineffective?!â
Jiang Heng quickly retreated, activating One Qi Sweeps Heaven and Earth.
Surrounded by swirling purple Clear Energy, Su Yuanâs indifferent expression shifted as he dashed with his saber at Jiang Heng.
Where he passed, the purple Clear Energy dissipated like smoke, unable to obstruct!
âImpossible!â
Feeling alarmed, Jiang Heng recalled that even One Qi Sweeps Heaven and Earth couldnât stop Su Yuan.
Within moments, Su Yuan was already upon him, unleashing countless blade lights with a raised hand!
Jiang Heng could only counter with his fists!
âClang, clang, clang!â
They clashed continuously, with no elaborate magic, just close-quarters combat.
Blood spatters flew everywhere until Jiang Hengâs body bore numerous wounds.
Jiang Heng, lacking any Epic Star Artifact and unable to restrict Su Yuanâs terrifying speed under Time Acceleration, found himself in a one-sided close-quarters battle.
âHeaven and Earth unite in me!â
With a roar, purple Clear Energy surged madly around Jiang Heng, his Radiant Moon Level aura climbing further, skyrocketing immensely!
This move was the same enhancement skill Feng Xuanqing used before his death!
But Su Yuan sneered: âStar Dominator, Golden Flame Burning Body!â
Activating two enhancement skills simultaneously, Su Yuanâs attributes surged even more explosively, surpassing Jiang Hengâs increase!
Jiang Heng, shocked: âHow is this possible! You are already using an enhancement skill! How can you still enhance it more!â
Given the same enhancement skill, Su Yuan should have noticed that any other enhancement skillâs effect should be almost nullified after using an overpowered one to elevate Shining Star to Radiant Moon.
But the Great Sun Burning Body Technique and Star Dominator didnât conflict with the Oath of Returning Ruins due to different principles.
Or it could be said that the Oath of Returning Ruins enhanced the ârealm,â unrelated to strength, defense, Star PowerâŠ
Su Yuan naturally didnât explain to Jiang Heng, instead concentrating briefly before a flash of black light slashed Jiang Heng. Blood sprayed as Jiang Heng was propelled out of One Qi Sweeps Heaven and Earthâs purple Clear Energy.
âBad!â
A sense of foreboding arose in Jiang Hengâs heart.
Although One Qi Sweeps Heaven and Earth couldnât stop Su Yuan, Jiang Heng maintained it to guard against Su Yuanâs potential hidden methods.
Jiang Heng knew Su Yuan wouldnât have defeated Feng Xuanqing with just the currently displayed skills.
In a short combat, he might fall behind, but his opponent couldnât sustain it for long. Enduring this period would allow an easy comeback.
But now, his opponent had made a move!
Jiang Heng urgently manipulated the returning purple Clear Energy of One Qi Sweeps Heaven and Earth.
Su Yuan, gaining the upper hand with one hit, wouldnât let Jiang Heng evade so easily.
He summoned the Heavenly Seal upon his saber, dispersing Golden Light denouncing blue glimmers amidst roaring Black Fire around him!
With Left and Right Mutual Struggle, Su Yuan split his focus effortlessly, controlling the Heavenly Lock to shoot at Jiang Heng while deploying Undead Evil Fire and the Spirit-Expelling Barrier of the Land without Spirit to block the purple Clear Energyâs return.
The Spirit-Expelling Barrier, though being a Fourth Level array barrier, managed temporary weakening despite struggling against Radiant Moon Level.
Coupled with Undead Evil Fire, they temporarily disrupted One Qi Sweeps Heaven and Earthâs purple Clear Energy.
Simultaneously, Golden Light streaked towards Jiang Heng as the unstirred Heavenly Lock erupted from beneath Su Yuan, binding Jiang Heng. The nine gilt chains bore the Heavenly Seal runes; their binding power suddenly increased.
Jiang Hengâs âTai Shang Five Disciplesâ name triggered slight âLegend Nameâ effects.
âWhat is this?!â
Jiang Hengâs face turned pale as he struggled against the binding chains with all his Star Power!
Another chain seized the Moon Disk in Jiang Hengâs possession, containing all the Heavenly Mountain Moon Milk stored, right before his eyes!
âThe Heavenly Lock binds no nameless ones. You should feel honored to activate its divine power.â
Su Yuan sneered, moving his left hand over the Demon Saber, solidifying the ninth rune during the brief interval.
Terrifying spatial waves emanated from the Demon Saber, shattering the surrounding space under tremendous spatial force.
Even the horrifying power made Jiang Hengâs eyes widen in terror, mobilizing all his Star Power into dense purpling around his body.
âSword Above Nine Heavens!â
The slash descended, collapsing skywards as terrifying spatial pressure instantaneously weighed on Jiang Heng!
The first second, purple qi collapsed!
The second second, his flesh exploded!
The third second, bones shattered!
With death imminent, despair-filled Jiang Hengâs bloodshot eyes turned to terror, abandoning arrogance to beg.
âSpare me⊠All the Moon Milk⊠Itâs yours. Mu Kexian⊠Sheâs yours to enjoy tooâŠâ
Seeing Jiang Hengâs plea, Su Yuanâs eyes showed scorn.
âYou are far inferior to Feng Xuanqing. As a core member of Taishang Sect, he didnât beg when dying to this moveâŠâ
Recalling his Daomen rival vying for the Divine Wind, Su Yuan felt some regret.
Some peopleâs deaths invoked admiration and pity.
Some, even dying, fail to meet a dignified end.
Jiang Heng turned grotesque hearing this: âDamn, Feng Xuanqing again! Clearly, Iâm the strongest now. Why does no one respect me!â
âYour demeanor is truly disgustingâŠâ
Observing Jiang Hengâs crazed fit of weakness and rage, Su Yuan shook his head, unleashing the saberâs power.
Jiang Heng trembled and exploded into dust with a âbangâ!
Silver light shone from Su Yuanâs eyes as he watched the blood mist and scraps confirm Jiang Hengâs demise.
âRadiant Moon LevelâŠâ
Sensing the Radiant Moon Level state meticulously again, Su Yuan dispersed the Oath of Returning Ruins with a thought.
