Ling Tian Sword God-Chapter 633 - 631: Transformation_1

"Shentu Yan's strength has already reached a transcendent state! He harbors wild ambitions, and he won't stop until our Sky Void Palace is destroyed!" Gu Linfeng heaved a sigh. Shentu Yan's sudden appearance had demonstrated terrifying power, undeniably surpassing all expectations. His strength was widely known to be comparable to that of Dong Shenglong, the Heavenly Void Palace Master. However, it was now evident that he had surpassed Dong Shenglong, utterly outmatching him. Moreover, Shentu Yan used to project a gentlemanly image. He even earned the title 'Unparalleled Benevolence' in Jianghu. It now seems he was merely feigning virtue; all his past displays were nothing but deception.

"The Myriad Dao Sect and Chiyu Mountain Manor have likely heard the news, but they are too distant to provide timely aid. I fear we will be killed by that brute before reinforcements can arrive," Dong Shenglong said, his face grim.

"Damn it! Does the foundation of our Sky Void Palace, established over hundreds of years, truly have to fall into the hands of that traitor?"

"How infuriating! How maddening!"

The Elders of the Sky Void Palace howled, grinding their teeth in impotent rage. If resentment could kill, Shentu Yan would have died a hundred times over.

"Silence!" Zhong Ziqi waved his hand, a glint appearing in his eyes. "Our current priority is to channel all our efforts into helping Yan'er achieve her breakthrough. Our old lives are expendable."

"Elder Zhong is right. The defensive Array Formation likely won't hold much longer. We must complete the power transfer before it is breached!"

"Spare nothing—not even your Origin True Qi. Our Sky Void Palace's Cultivation Techniques share the same lineage, so Yan'er should have little difficulty absorbing our power."

As long as Xu Ruoyan could absorb their power and successfully break through to the next Realm, they would achieve a form of continued existence, even in death.

At these words, the upper echelons of the Sky Void Palace immediately intensified their efforts. The mighty rivers of True Qi surged even more violently, a low hum reverberating through the air.

In the center of the Array Formation, True Qi coalesced into the shape of a snow lotus. A graceful figure sat serenely atop this lotus. She possessed hair like ink, skin like snow, and slender eyebrows curved like willow leaves. Despite a thin layer of frost veiling her cheeks, her breathtakingly beautiful contours were still discernible.

Her delicate hands, like suet jade, formed an exceptionally arcane posture. Her fingertips touched lightly, forming a Mysterious Hand Seal between her palms. Pure white True Qi gathered within.

An indescribable ripple of energy subtly emanated from her.

At the forefront of the Array Formation, Zhong Ziqi gazed intently at the peerless woman in its center. The next moment, he thrust out a palm, unleashing Origin True Qi as his voice thundered, "Yan'er, now!"

SPURT!

The dozen or so Elders surrounding them immediately spat out Essence Blood, their bodies rapidly weakening, their auras dwindling. Their already white hair thinned and began to fall out, growing dull and lifeless.

The ancient Array Formation seemed to subtly shift. An instant later, the peerless woman within the formation jolted. Above her, a colossal wave of energy swept forth. At the center of the ensuing vortex, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled—the raw, furious Heavenly Earth Energy.

Seeing this, a spark of wild joy erupted on the ashen faces of the Elders. The scene before them was clearly the beginning of the Heavenly Earth Energy infusion.

CRACKLE!

Furious thunderbolts, streams of pure lightning, descended from the vortex, striking down upon Xu Ruoyan. However, under the protection of the Sky Void Palace's upper echelons, these thunderbolts, imbued with Heavenly Earth Energy, could not harm Xu Ruoyan in the slightest. The raging Heavenly Earth Energy, upon entering Xu Ruoyan's body, was no longer turbulent but was completely absorbed by her.

BOOM!

Thunder echoed as an increasingly violent wave of energy erupted. From the vortex, a lotus formed of condensed lightning could be clearly seen descending towards Xu Ruoyan.

"It's actually a double crown infusion! There's one more layer!"

Gu Linfeng, Zhong Ziqi, and the others were both shocked and overjoyed, their emotions a whirlwind. They were elated by Xu Ruoyan's immense talent; a double crown infusion was truly extraordinary. The Heavenly Earth Energy was immensely powerful, far beyond what an ordinary human body could withstand. A single infusion was enough to cleanse the bones and purify the marrow, allowing one to shed their mortal coil and ascend to sainthood—let alone two.

Since ancient times, only the peerless Heavenly Prides of each era could trigger a double crown infusion. Such individuals were exceedingly rare throughout the millennia-long history of the Five Kingdoms. For such a Heavenly Pride to be born into their Sky Void Palace was an immense blessing.

However, the power of a double crown infusion was not to be trifled with. The second infusion, in particular, was at least twice as potent as the first. They now lacked the strength to protect Xu Ruoyan and help her withstand this second wave of Heavenly Earth Energy.

"We strike together!" Zhong Ziqi, Gu Linfeng, and the others gritted their teeth. Even if it cost them their lives, they had to protect Xu Ruoyan.

BANG!

The lotus, formed entirely of pure Heavenly Earth Energy, descended upon Xu Ruoyan, violently slamming into the Array Formation's defenses.

SPURT!

Zhong Ziqi and Gu Linfeng once again spat out mouthfuls of blood, their bodies collapsing. The other Elders also crumpled, their breathing faint and shallow.

"This is bad!" Everyone's heart lurched. The power contained within the lotus was terrifying beyond comprehension. Could this horrifying force really be withstood by someone at the Great Master level?

After the violent collision, the majestic lotus shattered, instantly transforming into a boundless torrent of energy. This torrent seemed capable of tearing the entire hall asunder.

The vast Heavenly Earth Energy howled downwards, finally pouring entirely into the body of the peerless woman. Faced with an infusion that even ordinary Top Sky Apex Strong experts could not withstand, the white-robed woman absorbed it all directly.

WHOOSH.

Just as the river of True Qi finished pouring into the peerless woman, her tightly closed eyes snapped open. Her eyes, like the deep sea, were clear and vast. At this moment, a peculiar ripple emanated from them. This ripple seemed to transcend the world itself.

"She succeeded!"

Sensing the transformative aura emanating from Xu Ruoyan, a flicker of joyous relief lit up everyone's eyes. At this moment, the powerful aura now radiating from Xu Ruoyan was unmistakably that of a Top Sky Apex Strong!

Moreover, having received the power impartation from so many of the Sky Void Palace's upper echelons, although Xu Ruoyan was only at the Sky Apex Realm First Layer, her true combat strength likely far exceeded it!

Xu Ruoyan, like a Fairy Maiden untouched by worldly dust, lightly stepped onto the falling petals. Her graceful form slowly descended, exuding an aura of nobility and mystique.
