As space broke, Zhu Yi instantly spotted a soul formation realm Chaos beast and sent a slash at it.
His slash hit it and cut it. The soul formation realm Chaos Beasts attention was instantly locked on Zhu Yi.
It charged forward with a power that was incomparable to a nascent soul realm Chaos beasts. Zhu Yi hurriedly backed away and brought it to a different location.
Feeling its power, he wasn't sure if it was actually possible to win. Regardless, he didn't have a choice anymore.
Now in a far away location, the Chaos Beast charged at Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi took out his sword and slashed down.
Breaking Through All Things. Directly colliding with the Chaos Beast, they were both sent flying back a few hundred steps. The Chaos Beast was far larger than a Nascent Soul realm Chaos beast. It was also much stronger.
Seeing the Chaos beast immediately charge back at him, Zhu Yi once again used breaking through all things, this time slashing up.
They were both sent flying back again. Zhu Yi felt his arms hurt from the sheer force of the Chaos Beast. Meanwhile, the Chaos Beast had some deep cuts on its face.
There was nothing else to do but charge forward. Breaking through all things only had two forms. Slashing up and slashing down. It was his strongest technique and the only way he could possibly go head to head with a Soul Formation realm Chaos Beast.
He could possibly slowly kill it with the formless sword, but that was risky and would take far too long.
They charged forward again. And again. And again. And again.
For an entire day, they fought back and forth. Both of Zhu Yi's arms were broken. So were his shoulders and part of his chest. The Chaos Beasts face was nothing but a pile of bloody mush. It had been cut countless times. Zhu Yi's Qi had thinned out long ago. His attacks were far weaker than before. He had to use less Qi in order to even continue fighting.
In the distance, he saw a few void traversing realm cultivators watching him. Since this was his battle, they wouldn't interfere unless he was going to die.
Zhu Yi could only hope that the Chaos Beast would die before him.
They collided again and again. Another day passed. Now, most of the people below the void traversing realm were watching him. Normally, such a fight would not attract much attention. However, this was a soul formation realm cultivator versus a soul formation realm Chaos Beast. Everyone was interested.
At this point, Zhu Yi was nearly completely out of Qi. Even as his attacks weakened and he absorbed Qi from the surroundings, he was still about to completely run out.
This needed to end, and he needed to end it.
"Remember everything you've learned about Breaking Through All Things. Your mastery is still only at the surface level." Zhou Fan suddenly spoke.
The Breaking Through All Things technique was extremely powerful, and even with his talent, Zhu Yi had only reached a sort of initial mastery, even if it was already very powerful.
Zhu Yi held his sword high and remembered everything. He poured all of his Qi into this one attack.
He charged forward once again. "Breaking Through All Things!"
He slashed down at the Chaos Beast. This slash felt different from every other one he had ever performed. It was as if he had a greater understanding of the technique, and what it truly meant to break through all things.
Zhu Yi hit the Chaos Beast. His slash cut through it, severing it into two pieces. He hurriedly moved away as the creature self-destructed and fell on the ground.
The people watching were naturally amazed. How many people got to see someone fight a Chaos Beast on the same level and win.
Zhou Fan moved over and absorbed the mist from the Chaos Beast. He took a minute to absorb it.
He walked back over to Zhu Yi. "Its effect is about thirty times that of a nascent soul realm Chaos Beast."
Zhu Yi could only slightly nod. He was on the verge of suffering from Qi exhaustion.
Some people from the sword sect came over to give him some spirit stones in order to help him recover. Even void traversing realm cultivators offered some.
"Thank you, but I have enough." Zhu Yi said as he pulled out a top grade spirit stone.
He began to absorb the Qi out of it and recover. After a few days, he was completely fine. Most of the battles within the world were wrapped up.
Zhu Yi stood up after recovering. As soon as he did so, he saw a familiar face. The last remaining name on his beat up list. Bai Wei'er.
She also saw him. She was staring at him in shock. As the daughter of the sect master of the celestial ice sect, she had come to watch the Chaos Beast fight. She had heard of someone fighting a Chaos Beast on the same level and wanted to come over. Unfortunately, although she was in the soul formation realm, she was not even close to strong enough to get close to such a battle. She could only stay away.
She decided to wait and gathered information on this person out of curiosity. He came from a lower world, something she found admirable. He was also the student of the Sect Master of the Sword sect.
There was no information on his name that she could find.
On this day, she finally came to see him, only to find Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi remembered her clearly, even after so many years. She had tried to tempt him with the universal cultivation manual. This was something that all of the top ten sects freely taught. Although some people in the lower world couldn't use it, it could be considered widely available. It was no wonder that everyone in this higher world used it.
Zhu Yi walked over to her. He was ready to take revenge.
"Bai Wei'er. I challenge you to a duel."
