Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Clash of Domains

Wearing a smile as he remained airborne, Xiao Ran remarked, “I thought we’d never be together.”

“We never will,” responded shadowless race’s holy maiden, Yu Mo.

“True, but this requires us to cooperate.” Facing back to Mu Yu, Xiaoran conveyed, “Cheng Yan is our only target, so we have no desire to fight you. Please get that straight.”

Mu Yu raised Shadow Splitter Sword into position. “My policy is to eliminate all threats to my family,” Mu Yu declared and then swiped.

Yu Mo and Xiao Ran split off to avoid being cut in two, while Mu Yu followed up with a formation, containing them within an arena he deployed.

“Spotless Stealth Spring!” Xiao Ran wiped away his smile and broke through Mu Yu’s formation with his domain. Within the vicinity of Spotless Stealth Spring, Xiao Ran could take control of anyone’s shadow to kill his opponent from afar.

Yu Mo faded into the darkness, working together with Xiao Ran.

Mu Yu’s eyes switched to black and white, converting their domains to his when theirs made contact with him. Unlike his grin, his eyes were piercing.

Xiao Ran closed in on the left to wrest for control of Mu Yu’s shadow, only to phase through Mu Yu, resulting in Yu Mo’s domain smashing into his. Their collision sent both of them reeling hundreds of metres in the direction they came from.

“We can’t deploy domains in his domain,” informed Yu Mo.

There’s no way we have any chance against him unless we have four or five people. His formation and swordplay knowledge are too much for us to handle without our domains, internally analysed Xiao Ran. “Retreat!”

Mu Yu brought down his sword ruthlessly. Alas, two more domains activated, thwarting his slash. Mu Yu looked up to see two of the highest-ranked ultimate immortals.

“Shadow race and shadowless race aren’t half as strong as I thought they’d be.”

Xiao Ran and Yu Mo halted in their tracks for they did not fear the two soul race members. Xiao Ran scoffed, “How about you show us what you’re made of, then?”

“Capturing Mu Yu is a warm up for us. Sword Shadow Dust Gale is already in peril. His disciple is a nobody,” denounced Leng Yuqiu.

Yu Mo brayed, “Not one of us is a match for Mu Yu one on one. If you want to capture him, you need our help.”

Yi Qianshu derided, “It’s disgraceful to work with your traitorous kind. Besides, we don’t need your help.”

Xiao Ran stopped Yu Mo from lashing back and stated, “Break a leg. We’ll report your deaths to Hun Kui for you. You’ve already lost one here already, anyway.”

Yi Qianshu, in a deep voice, questioned, “What are you insinuating?”

The soul race could only locate each other using their scouting skill within a certain radius. If it was not for that limitation, they would have ganged up on their targets already.

“Rank four, Gu Anhua, already died to Wanwan and Ximen Buxing.”

“You saw it with your own eyes?”

“I thought you could see the writing on the wall. The two of them maimed him within less than fifteen minutes once they activated their domain. I just enjoyed the show since I don’t have any grudge with the unorthodox faction.”

“You’re bluffing. Not one of these peons could ever reach our strongest five in their lifetime. Han Xiangluan is more than enough to mop the floor with you.”

Mu Yu voiced, “I love it how all three of your races think you’re some superior existence. Does having people’s domains in your pocket make you think you’re invincible?”

Yi Qianshu snorted. “Mu Yu, your biggest mistake was running into us, Apotheosis Realm infant.”

“Cool story.”

“Mu Yu, we never had any animosity directed at you. If you want to kill the two of them, they’re all yours. We’re more than happy to witness the soul race pay for their foolishness,” Xiao Ran condescendingly verbalised.

Among those in Apotheosis Realm, only Mu Yu’s brothers could compete against him because they were the only ones with swordplay to match him with it. Others became too complacent once they invented their domains and were rendered unarmed the moment Mu Yu disabled their domains.

Mu Yu’s command over Universe Ruler improved with each usage – experience. In addition, the more familiar he was with the rule, the more profound and the more he could branch out. In the same vein he could cast Universe Ruler on Ju Mang’s domain, he could also use it to heighten the effectiveness of his domains.

Mu Yu taunted, “Bring along your helper.”
