Chapter 31: The Celestial Alice Divine Sword

The hegemony air of the I Even powerful celestials like Xuan Kong, Xuan Wei, Xuan Qian, Xuan You, the Northern Tyrant and the Universal Old Man felt uneasy in his presence

Only Yi Ping, the Heaveness and Lele were not affected by his hege defiantly at him!

The I, Lele and the Heaveness to unnerve theers but still they did not budge and their stares were equally chilling!

With his celestial state of divinity, a lesser opponent would have become uneasy or became aard but not them!

Yi Ping was enveloped in an air of righteousness Everyone see in his direction for answers or leadershi+p He was like a beacon of steady light, full of courage and was like a towering tree

The Iroaned It was because he had thought that this Yi Ping was an Ancient Celestial in disguise But after looking at him up close, he dispelled that notion It was because all the Ancient Celestials had a way to identify one another and he was definitely not one of the original celestials

As for this lofty maiden in white dress, she was a lowly celestial practitioner like Yi Ping but there was so in her that was different and he could not place a finger yet Unlike the Heaveness and Yi Ping who seeeard him completely!

The Heaveness he could understand Her Great Ehest state of hout the Celestial Realm; her indifference and apathy were known to all the Ancient Celestials Her heart was like a solid rock He could scarcely believe that she was going totoday…

The Heaveness sed at all, still as disdainful of others as ever You seeression”

The I time…”

The Universal Old Man interrupted coldly, “We have always stayed steered of one another You know very well that we are here and yet you still coht with us, we may not lose to you!”

Yi Ping held the Ascension Goddess in his arms and there were hot tears in his downcast expression He said coldly, “I may be an oaf but I understand what is honor It is obviously that both have fallen at the same time Yet you have shamelessly declared your side to be the victor And e tried to protest, you decide to intervene Now that the Ie is dead, do you still want to shamelessly declare that you are the victor now?”

Lele added coldly, “That’s right! It is obviously that both have fallen at the sae is dead, can you still say that your side is the victor? Are all the celestial practitioners of the Infinity Sword Celestial Clan this shameless? ”

All the visiting celestials were startled that Lele would dare to be so disrespectful to the Immortal Saint of Swords It was because in the Celestial Real order Only those ere in positions of poere able to have their own voice Those who dared to go against this pecking order would only bring forth their own destruction!

But Lele see stares of the Ih he was not there

Unknown to everyone, that was actually Lele innate aptitude That was the reason why she was able to approach her grandpa seen of fear or ahen they met for the very first time

The I maiden, mind your manners! The Infinity Sword Celestial Clan is an orthodox celestial clan You have killed our protégé brother and leader Yet you have the cheek to lecture us A duel is a fight to the finish Unless one side is dead or ad then the duel will not ended! That is the unbroken rule of the martial fraternity!”

The Ian to reverberate with his martial force, “This is the rule of the ainst this unbroken rule? The Ascension Goddess is the first to die, yes or no?”

All the visiting celestials were silent

It was because the Iainst this martial rule!

The Immortal Saint of Swords turned to look coldly at Yixian all of a sudden, “I have never expected to see a force deflection skill as refine as yours You are able to attack and defend simultaneous at the same time I wonder ill happen if you have drawn out your divine sword? How about this I will give your group another chance If you duel withEternal Occurrence In fact, if you are able to exchange thirty strokes with roup to have won For an opponent like you, it will be a fair duel and thirty strokes will pass by in a blink of an eye”

He raised his voice and his rand hall, “However if you are unable to exchange thirty strokes with me, I will take your Heavenly Earth Celestial Sword for safekeeping for ten years!”

Everyone was startled that the Immortal Saint of Swords would offer the Celestial Fairy a second chance and were looking at her

Yixian was now in a tight spot as she stood quietly as everyone was looking at this epitome beauty as they awaited her reply

Her delicate features ithout any expressions as she pondered quietly and with much unease It was because if she refused to accept this challenge then it was as good as ad defeat But if she had lost, she would have lost the Heavenly Earth Sword!

She was really te, “Thirty strokes will pass very soon If I can evade his attacks, perhaps…”

Shen Xingyue murmured softly to her, “Xian’Er, please don’t Don’t ever try You are not his match Moreover, you are serious injured and your th is impaired I will surrender the Blue Heavens…”

Yunzi added quietly, “This is a trick He simply wants you to accept his terms and take the Heavenly Earth Celestial Sword”

The Immortal Saint of Swords interrupted coldly, “For ten years I will surely keep my word and return the Heavenly Earth Sword to you after ten years If you do not try, then how do you know you will not win?”

Everyone was sh it seemed that thirty strokes were not a lot but an epito multiple strokes within a stroke

But to Yixian and those as in a si offer ever!

Even the Heaveness was shaking her head as she said softly, “Yixian, no please Don’t ever consider it!”

Yu’Er and Mei’Er were already freaked out! They had aléher The death of the Ascension Goddess delivered a deep gap in their hearts

When the Ascension Goddess was killed earlier and when they saw her crumbled body, they were so badly shaken that they were actually shaking uncontrollably

Yu’Er found herself sobbing uncontrollably until she could cry nononstop as though it was trying to comfort her

Mei’Er had a blank expression on her face She was thinking to herself, “I don’t even know the Ascension Goddess but why ah I have known her for a long time…is it because my previous self has known her? I am not the Axis Heaven Goddess…”

They were reminded that they were the First Celestials of the Celestial Fraternity and the Supreyue

Shen Xingyue had said to them in secret shortly after they had overcoamate Mountains, “If Yu’Er is not the Eclipse Heaven Goddess and Mei’Er is not the Axis Heaven Goddess, why do you think that the two of you are able to overcome the Divine Calaolden divine swords are also ordained to you at the onset of your Divine Calamity All these can’t be coincidences”

Yu’Er tried to protest but Shen Xingyue said firhly attained celestial practitioners They cannot ascend because they have shattered their divine swords”

Mei’Er replied, “Even though we have overcoé mistress and our master, this is not ant We are content just to be with our protégé mistress and master forever…”

Shen Xingyue sighed softly and her angelic voice tried to sound them out, “I don’t know if I am able to ascend to the Celestial Realm in the future but the two of you will surely be able to Unlike the other celestial clans, each of the Supreme Celestials of the Ascension Sect has their own unique skills The fact that the two of you have overcome your Divine Calamity earlier than the Celestial Fairy and the fact that you have not used any of theindication that your inherent celestial abilities are re-awakening”

Mei’Er smiled weakly, “What are the inherent abilities of the Eclipse and Axis Heaven Goddess?! We don’t even know a thing!”

Shen Xingyue said solemnly, “The Eclipse and Axis Heaven Goddess are one and two body at the sa my time, even without any divine swords in their hands they are already extremely powerful If you think I ath is equaled to a true Celestial! I have heard that if they can ascend, then they will be in the pinnacles of the Celestial Real they are!”

Yu’Er laughed softly, “Sister! I am flattered but we are not any Heaven Goddess! Moreover, the Eclipse and Axis have their own unique divine skills to be able to go that far But we don’t have and they have thousands of years to refine their divine arts And that is soh to believe that there is ahas to be earned or else it won’t take you a thousand years to ponder the next stage of divinity”

Mei’Er nodded, “That’s right That is a freak accident that the Divine Calahtmares over the hundreds of exponents that were killed by us on that day But still, I am curious What are the divine arts of the two Heaven Goddesses?”

Shen Xingyue raised her fingers to do a rapid divine calculation before she said quietly, “It is not a freak accident That is your destiny Do you know that the Eclipse and Axis Heaven Goddess are also twins? The divine art of the Eclipse and Axis Heaven Goddess is the Midheaven Epiphanies, an intricacy heart forh the Divine and the Enlightening Realization It is not a martial art that anyone can pick up and practice Not even in a thousand years! It is a natural inherent ability and I can already see that the natural abilities of the Eclipse and Axis Heaven Goddess is alreadyin you Do you think that it is a mere coincidence that you are able to pick up the Dual Inertness Intricacy Skill so quickly? It is the latent Midheaven Epiphanies that is in you that is at work here!”

Yu’Er and Mei’Er reacted with silence to her assertions

Shen Xingyue looked at the quietly, “Unless you are able to reawaken to your true self, you will find the Celestial Realé reat need then, will you want to be able to help him?”

At this yue had told the totally powerless…

They were not the only ones ere feeling powerless

Lele, Youxue, Yunzi, the Stellar Heaven Fairy, Shen Xingyue, Lingfeng and Lie Qing too, were feeling powerless for Yixian It was because the gambit was for her Heavenly Earth Sword and it was not their decision to make!

Everyone aiting for Yixian to reply to the Ially…

Yi Ping was pleading, “Xian’Er, quickly reject the duel!”

Shen Xingyue e my divine sword, really!”

Lele brushed her long pony hair aside as she stepped forward as she said coldly, “I’e! I am the Joyful Goddess, the Prime Celestial of the Celestial Palace”

Yi Ping interrupted hurriedly, “Lele! You are not hishim!”

But Lele raised her long scythe and pointed coldly at the Immortal Saint of Swords, “I don’t think he is as powerful as he looks Do you dare to accept my…”

Lie Qing too, interrupted panicky, “Sister, wait!”

Lele was about to say soave a startled cry!

Even the Immortal Saint of Swords, the Universal Old Man and the other two Ies had suddenly turned ashen!

What could have caused theo such a sudden change!?

It was because their paranors and senses had picked up a faint heartbeat!

Yixian, Shen Xingyue and Lingfeng had i and said to hi’Er, the Ascension Goddess…”

Alhed out ’Er, is that you…I can’t see anyht that I would die before I could sayme…now?”

Yi Ping and everyone were stunned!

Yixian, Shen Xingyue and the Heaveness immediately examined her pulses!

It was because the Ascension Goddess had no more vital pulses anymore It was already a miracle that she was able to talk!

Xuan Wei and Xuan You wanted to rush to the Ascension Goddess i halted them as he said quietly, “Alas brothers…leave them alone…”

Everyone could see that Xuan Kong was tre

Xuan Qian é brother…”

He had never seen his protégé brother in such a sorrowful state before…

Yi Ping sobbed uncontrollably and his entire body was treot to know your name yet…”

The Ascension Goddess smiled weakly, “I know ’Er, my name is Ye Yin…that’s my name…”

Yi Ping wept aloud, “Ye Yin! Ye Yin…”

The Heaveness was suddenly tre extremely hard to withhold her tears

The Iht, “The Heaveness actually has emotional attachments?”

The Heaveness was not the only one eeping; all the otherto hold back their tears…

Shen Xingyue was shi+vering as she é Sister Yin…”

It was because they had all recognized that this was the sign of an i death, a phenomenon when death was imminent, a person would suddenly be awake

Lingfeng was startled that the Ascension Goddess was not killed instantly Even though she was still grievous injured and was at death’s door but granted the startling power of the Inverting Eternal Occurrence, anyone will surely be torn apart!

She iasped to herself, “The Celestiu the Celestium Silk underneath her No wonder!”

The Ascension Goddess was about to say so when Yixian the Celestial Fairy seized her fro!

Yi Ping gasped tearfully, “Xian’Er, what are you doing Return her to me…”

But Yixian ignored him as she struck the Ascension Goddess in her heart pulse and immediately, the Ascension Goddess was knocked out cold!

Yi Ping had turned completely ashen!

His expressions became stone as he called out hurriedly, “Xian’Er…”

But Xian’Er said gently, “Ping’Er, if I don’t do anything now she will surely die”

Yi Ping and the rest of the maidens were startled!

Yi Ping asked panicky, “The Ascension Goddess has a hope?”

Yixian said soley on her now to protect her heart Yichi once told me that the Eternal Heavenly Tears is able to stall the inevitable I don’t know if it works but it is worth a try”

All of a sudden, Yi Ping froze in his tracks It was because he had suddenly recalled that his mother had once saved his life with the Eternal Heavenly Tears when he was little!

Yixian stole a glance at Shen Xingyue and the Heaveness before she said gravely, “My internal strength alone is insufficient I need the Divine Rejuvenation Force and the Divine Invigorate Force at the same time too”

Shen Xingyue and Lingfeng said together without hesitation even though they were reluctant to leave the rest here, “Let’s take her to the inner chamber first”

Lingfeng took a glance at Yi Ping, “Ping’Er, stay calm please”

Yi Ping smiled aardly, “I will…”

She flashed a look at the Universal Old Man, “Old friend, be careful…”

The Universal Old Man knew that she orried for them all so he forced a smile, “Not to worry I still have several tricks up my sleeves”

Shen Xingyue took a forlorn look at Yi Ping as she said ether I want to fight alongside with you but if the Ascension Goddess were to die, I know that you will never forgive yourself”

She looked hatefully at the Ielic, “The Ascension Goddess has the last breath So that et what you have just said earlier!”

I celestials!

Xuan Kong is Sage has died before the Ascension Goddess so there is no doubt that the young hero Yi Ping’s group has won”

Even the Deadly Wanderer staht!”

Yixian quickly interrupted, “Protégé Mistress, Qing’Er, Lele, Youxue, Yu’Er, Mei’Er, Yunzi, I a’Er in your hands…”

Without waiting for anyone of theone in an instant! She was i at the same time!

All of a sudden, Yi Ping called out “Xian’Er, wait!”

Even the I, “Where do you think you are going?!”

But Yixian, Shen Xingyue and Lingfeng had already taken the Ascension Goddess to the inner chamber Given their epito and leaving freely

Yi Ping was exasperated!

It was because he had suddenly recalled that histhe Eternal Heavenly Tears to save his life but it was already too late to stop them!

The Ie asked the Im them?”

The Io”

He had i celestials!

If another fight broke out, then more of them would surely perish!+ Most of them were now too severely injured to take any evasive action!

The Ie clenched their fists in anguish How could they not be upset? They had known of the I tié leader of the Infinity Sword Celestial Clan!

The Ie said coldly, “The Infinity Sword Celestial Clan won’t forget this slight…”

Lele immediately scoffed after him, “We see about that first”

The Ie hummed coldly before he turned around

All of a sudden Yi Ping shouted coldly, “Wait! Ie?”

The Universal Old Man was stunned at his request that he panicky said, “That is only a joke! Don’t norant fellow like him…”

But the Immortal Saint of Swords had already turned around, “No one jokes tofelloill e but I won’t stop until you are dead!”

Lie Qing, Youxue, Yu’Er, Mei’Er, Yunzi, the Stellar Heaven Fairy and Lele al!

Yi Ping looked coldly at the I It was not fear that caused hi distress! He was anxious for the Ascension Goddess He wanted her to pull through He wanted her to live But there was soot to do first…

The , they had already known his intentions!

Lie Qing ca’Er, no please! If you die, do you still I will be able to live alone?”

Yunzi nodded disquietly, “Ping’Er…”

Youxue said ht…”

Lele pleaded at the sa with you I aiven the martial skills of the I him at the same time!

The Stellar Heaven Fairy said fir, “My life is saved by you If you die, I will surely follow you Just do what you think is right”

Yu’Er and Mei’Er were tre nonstop

All of a sudden, Yu’Er had already drawn out her divine sword the Harp Whisperer and she was iolden halos!

She said despondently, “Master, at least allow me to join you too!”

Her voice was soft but it could be heard clearly by everyone In fact, it see in everyone’s ears!

Mei’Er did the saht was also enveloping her!

She see, “I remember now…”

Even Yi Ping was a little startled by Yu’Er and Mei’Er The golden lights of their divine swords were stunning It seemed that Yu’Er and Mei’Er had been transformed!
