The Great Ruler (Web Novel) - Chapter 624 — Sovereign Sea
Chapter 624 - Sovereign Sea
Boom!
The Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth turned violent as everyone looked up at the sky in astonishment. Ji Xuan was standing in midair as he placed both of his hands behind him, looking as if he was in control of everyone. The space behind him constantly twisted and fluctuated and showed signs of rupturing.
In the distorted space, a vast ocean could be faintly seen. The sea looked exceptionally radiant as it was filled with divine light Spiritual Energy. The vastness of it could even crush mountains.
A peculiar pressure was emitted from the illusionary ocean. It was that pressure that changed the faces of countless students with shock in their eyes. That pressure wasn’t something a Spirit Disaster expert could possess, it was a distinct pressure belonging to Sovereign experts!
“That’s the Sovereign Sea?”
Looking at the faintly distinctive ocean in the shattered space, someone muttered, since he couldn’t help inhaling a mouthful of air.
A genuine Sovereign expert possessed two unique traits, the Sovereign Celestial Body and the Sovereign Sea. Upon reaching this level of cultivation and successfully ascending to the Sovereign Realm, the Aura Sea within a person would shatter and be replaced with the Sovereign Sea!
Shattering the Aura Sea and forming the Sovereign Sea!
Everyone knew that the Aura Sea was the converging point of Spiritual Energy in the human body. If other means were excluded, their strength could be measured based on the size of Spiritual Energy in their body.
Naturally, upon reaching the Sovereign Realm, the Aura Sea would shatter and be replaced with the Sovereign Sea as it was more complete and robust compared to the Aura Sea.
Although the Aura Sea existed in the body, it was essential to cultivators, but speaking from a particular angle, it was also the weakest. The moment the Aura Sea was destroyed, then their path in cultivation would come to an end, and all their hard work in cultivation would be for nought.
As for the Sovereign Sea, it was incredibly profound. Not only did it purely exist in the human body, it also formed a profound small world. The small world was concealed in the body; thus, compared to the Aura Sea, it was more mysterious, more significant and more powerful. The toughness of it was something that the Aura Sea could never be compared to.
Furthermore, the most critical point was that the instant the Sovereign Sea was formed, it could be concealed in the cultivator's Spirit. Thus, even if their physical body was destroyed, as long as their Spirit and Sovereign Sea still existed, it was just a matter of time before they could refine another physical body.
Thus, the Sovereign Sea and Sovereign Celestial Body were the distinct traits of a Sovereign expert. One could preserve their life, while the other could increase their fighting power. This was also the reason why everyone was drooling for this realm.
But, right now, the illusionary ocean behind Ji Xuan was the Sovereign Sea!
Since Ji Xuan had formed his Sovereign Sea, didn’t that imply that he had ascended to the Sovereign Realm?!
Countless people were exchanging looks as they quietly gulped a mouthful of saliva. Their eyes filled with astonishment.
Ji Xuan had concealed his strength a little far too deep. Now that things have come to this, what’s the point of this competition? The Sovereign Realm wasn’t something that students of their level could contend with.
In the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy region, Ye Qingling, Yu Xi and Su Ling’er’s faces were pale. Before a genuine Sovereign, all means were useless.
“His Sovereign Sea is not complete yet.” Ling Xi, who had been staring at the Battle Stage spoke out.
When Ye Qingling and the rest heard her comment, they all instantly directed their gazes at her.
“This Ji Xuan is indeed very talented to touch to foothold of the Sovereign Realm at such a young age. However, a genuine Sovereign Sea is way more perfect. Right now, the edge of that space shows signs of shattering. Clearly, he is only barely able to form the Sovereign Sea, and the Spiritual Energy in it is a little too thin. I’m afraid that he used an external force to accomplish that.” Ling Xi was, after all, an Elder of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Thus, her eyesight wasn’t something that Ye Qingling and the rest could compare to so, naturally, she had seen the flaws of Ji Xuan’s Sovereign Sea.
However, when she complemented Ji Xuan’s talent, she neglected the fact that her age wasn't much different from his. If he was very talented, then she was a monster amongst monsters. Naturally, the more significant reason was that she had followed Mu Chen’s mother for some time.
Nurtured by an expert compatible with a Heavenly Sovereign, this was a rare honour that not many people could experience in the Great Thousand World.
“Is that so…”
Ye Qingling and the rest felt relieved from her words.
“But don’t be too optimistic. Even if it isn’t a complete Sovereign Sea, the power in it far surpasses Spirit Disaster. Although Luo Li possesses the Luo River’s Spirit, it is a Growth-type Spiritual Beast. And at this stage, the power it can aid her isn’t as big as you guys imagine.” Ling Xi lightly shook her head as she poured a pail of cold water onto them.
Ye Qingling and the rest bitterly smiled as they nodded their heads. At the current situation, there was nothing they could do to help Luo Li but to pray for her victory.
Ling Xi slightly raised her head as her pair of charming eyes pierced through the Battle Stage to the Mirror of Judgement that hovered in midair as she went silent for a moment before muttering to herself, “Are you going to give up in this way…?”
The Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth violently whistled as Ji Xuan proudly stood in the air. Under the vast ocean that was faintly visible from the shattered space, his temperament seemed to be slightly overlooking all heroes in disdain.
“Luo Li, do you still feel that he is qualified to be my opponent?” Ji Xuan sneered as he slowly spoke while looking at Luo Li.
Facing Ji Xuan’s sneer, Luo Li did not bother to dispute with him and revealed a faint smile. However, it was this expression of hers that made Ji Xuan’s face a little hideous as he sensed the meaning behind that gentle smile of hers.
She was in disdain to dispute with him as she had an unshakable answer in her heart.
“I’ll see how long you can last. No matter what you think, at least others will understand that he is only a loser!”
Ji Xuan’s gaze turned eerie as he took a step forth. A chill surged in his eyes as he flipped his palm over and abruptly pushed out.
Boom!
The Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth turned violent at this moment as an astonishing gush of Spiritual Energy swept out from the vast ocean, forming into a corporeal palm of divine light as it slammed down.
Rumble!
The firm golden ground cracked. Ji Xuan did not execute any technique as he only used pure and vast Spiritual Energy. But precisely so, the power of this attack was indescribable.
Luo Li’s eyes flashed cold as she tightened her grip on the Luo God Sword. The Luo River’s Spirit within the ancient wriggling Luo River behind her also made a grasping gesture as lake water gushed forth, forming into a large longsword and the both of them slashed down.
Whoosh!
A sword light of a thousand feet brandished down, along with absolute piercing Sword Intent that soared into the skies.
Boom!
The sword light and divine light violently clashed. The blast wave swept out, wreaking havoc as it swept up a hurricane.
“I’ll see how long you can last under my attacks!”
Ji Xuan eerily smiled as he tapped the sole of his feet and his figure soared into the sky. In that instant, he lifted both of his hands. Everyone felt the heavens and earth jolt as the Sovereign Sea concealed in the space was flipping with waves. Countless rays of divine light soared into the sky and rapidly converged into huge palms.
That scene made innumerable people feel their scalps numbing. Such a powerful attack was incredibly exhausting for the Spiritual Energy, and right now, Ji Xuan was doing it so casually.
The heavens and earth darkened. The countless palms of divine light were like meteors as they tore through the heavens and earth as they descended towards Luo Li.
Luo Li’s face was heavy as she deeply inhaled a mouthful of air and lifted her hand. The Luo River swept out as it protected her within, it was wriggling like a water dragon as it coiled around.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless palms were slamming against the Luo River from multiple directions, even the Golden Battle Stage showed signs of being incapable of withstanding it from the impacts as huge cracks were continually spreading out.
Everyone lifted their heads at this scene.
They could see that the Luo River protecting Luo Li was rapidly dimming from the dreadful attacks of the palms made of divine light.
Countless students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy tightly clenched their teeth and fists.
Anyone could tell that the force of Ji Xuan’s Spiritual Energy had reached a degree that even Luo Li couldn’t withstand.
Boom! Boom!
Luo Li started to sway and had finally reached her limits. Along with a crisp sound, the Luo River turned into sparkles of light in the sky and exploded, the Luo River’s Spirit had also dissipated at this moment as it turned into a ray of light and entered Luo Li’s body.
Luo Li issued a faint groan as her slender figure was sent flying back.
“Watch out!”
When Luo Li’s defence was broken, Wen Qingxuan’s face abruptly changed as she saw a torrential bloody light at the rear of Luo Li. Xue Tianhe appeared with a hideous expression on his face as he launched a punch towards the fatal point behind Luo Li.
Wen Qingxuan clenched her teeth as she tapped her feet and pushed the remnant Spiritual Energy in her body as she swiftly appeared behind Luo Li. She was actually going to help Luo Li withstand Xue Tianhe’s attack.
“Senior Sister!”
In the area of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy, the faces of innumerable girls changed.
“Xue Tianhe, you bastard!” In the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, many students were cursing in rage as well. Clearly, that despicable move from Xue Tianhe had attracted their anger.
“Hmph!”
Xue Tianhe’s face was eerie when he faced the curses. Not only did he not pull back his punch, he even utilised all the Spiritual Energy in his body and threw a heavy punch towards Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li. He was apparently going to be ruthless and ruin the flowers.
The situation was perilous.
“Go die!” Xue Tianhe roared with sinister laughter as his punch landed, showing no quarter.
Rumble!
However, just when Xue Tianhe’s fist was about to hit Wen Qingxuan, an extremely violent thunder roared.
Up in the sky, the Deans of the various Spiritual Academies, as well as the Five Great Deans, blinkered their eyes as they swiftly looked at the Mirror of Judgement.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the Mirror of Judgement, and after that, an eye-piercing radiance shot out. The speed of that lightning was neck-breaking, and it took merely an instant for it to appear above Wen Qingxuan. After that, everyone saw a fist that looked to have been made from lightning pierce through space and heavily slammed against Xue Tianhe’s body.
Boom!
Xue Tianhe’s figure was instantly shot down and became deeply embedded in the Golden Battle Stage. His upper body was already severely mangled up from the attack.
Thus, the curses that were initially filling this region instantly came to a halt.
Innumerable people were stunned for a moment, before quickly raising their heads to see a slender silhouette walking out of the lightning. He made an embrace with his arms as he held onto Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan’s slim waists. After that, his figure flashed and appeared above the Golden Battle Stage. Lightning gradually weakened, and a slender and towering silhouette slowly emerged before everyone’s eyes.
