Chapter 584: Chapter 0579: Xuankong Palm

The other people present were all attracted by the green-clad woman’s appearance and temperament.

At the same time, they were even more shocked that the green-clad woman dared to speak to Elder Wu in such a manner.

Elder Wu was a half-step Sky Sea powerhouse, ranking third in strength among those from the Sky Wolf Realm who had entered this place!

There were more people from the Sky Wolf Realm who had entered the Blood Star Realm, totaling sixty. Among them, there were six half-step Sky Sea powerhouses, and his strength being ranked third was already very formidable.

This abruptly appearing green-clad woman, whom they all did not recognize and definitely not as well-known as Elder Wu, actually dared to challenge Elder Wu, truly audacious.

Many among them already felt pity, such a beauty was about to be killed by Elder Wu.

Although there were many people present, none would offend Elder Wu just for this green-clad woman.

However, surprisingly, Elder Wu did not strike out in anger.

“Could it be Elder Wu recognizes this woman and knows her strength?” many people wondered in their hearts.

In fact, if powerhouses from the Sky Wolf Realm, Chi Hong Realm, and Kunyun Realm were to communicate, they would realize that this green-clad woman did not come from any of these realms.

Elder Wu stared at the green-clad woman, fury rising in his heart, yet he made no rash moves.

This woman gave him an extraordinary feeling, and now he was somewhat doubting her origins.

With age, one becomes more cautious and refrained from acting without certainty.

“Eh? This stele…”

The green-clad woman gazed at the Void Netherworld Stele, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She was one of the two disciples sent by the Great Yu Realm’s Carefree Palace into the Blood Star Realm, named Fang Yanling.

Before her arrival at the Blood Star Realm, she had perused relevant materials and learned that the Void Netherworld Stele, inside the Blood Star Realm’s Sky-reaching Sect, contained mysterious space power. It also harbored many profound spatial teachings that only those with destiny could comprehend.

However, at the moment, Fang Yanling observed that the stele was strikingly plain and ordinary, and she did not sense the slightest space power.

“Hehe, no need to look anymore. Someone like you who disrespects the Void Netherworld Stele and steps on it, how could possibly trigger any phenomena?” Elder Wu chuckled dryly, his smile looking somewhat sinister.

“Ignorant!”

Fang Yanling glanced at Elder Wu, her tone indifferent and dismissive as she uttered two words.

Whoosh!

The next instant, Fang Yanling left the Void Netherworld Stele, her movement technique graceful as a smoothly gliding butterfly, heading towards the interior of the Sky-reaching Sect.

“Ignorant?”

Elder Wu’s right hand clenched tightly around his wooden staff, quivering slightly and radiating a formidable and dangerous aura.

He was extremely old and possibly the oldest among the powerhouses from the Three Realms that had entered this place.

For a junior to call him ignorant, how could he not be enraged.

This scene caused those nearby to involuntarily step back a few paces, as everyone could see that Elder Wu was angry.

Swish!

Elder Wu’s figure suddenly disappeared, turning into a lingering shadow as he followed the green-clad woman, Fang Yanling.

“Thank goodness he’s gone.”

Yun Fei’er let out a sigh of relief and patted her rapidly heaving chest.

If Elder Wu had decided to make a move on Chen Yu just now, that would have been bad.

Yun Fei’er’s strength was extremely formidable among the Golden Emblem Holy Guards, but she was still some distance away from the Law Enforcement Holy Guards, and Elder Wu’s strength was definitely among the best within the Law Enforcement Holy Guards.

Even if the five of them joined forces to block him, there would still be other people from the Sky Wolf Realm here, making the situation very unfavorable for them.

Fortunately, the sudden appearance of the green-clad woman disrupted the scene and drew Elder Wu’s attention away.

It was clear that she had no intention of helping Chen Yu, but she did indeed give Chen Yu a helping hand.

“Who is that woman? Elder Wu followed her, is she in danger?”

Chu Yu was slightly worried.

Fang Yanling’s appearance may be slightly inferior to the three great beauties of the Holy Land, but her temperament was exceptional and very captivating.

“Is that woman from the Chi Hong Realm?”

Yun Fei’er whispered.

She had a conflict with Elder Wu, so she definitely wasn’t from the Sky Wolf Realm, and certainly not from the Kunyun Realm either.

However, everyone took a look around, and it seemed that not a single person recognized the woman.

At this time, many people were guessing, could that woman be an indigenous person of the Blood Star Realm?

Gradually, the area around the Void Netherworld Stele regained its tranquility.

Yun Fei’er and the others decided to continue observing the Void Netherworld Stele, attempting to obtain some opportunities.

Chen Yu had already obtained an opportunity, and he speculated that after the mystical heart absorbed the powers inside the Void Netherworld Stele, it had turned into an ordinary stone.

So he did not go to observe it, but instead, he found a spot to sit down cross-legged.

His consciousness entered a murky space, where a Blood Flame Flood Dragon floated, along with a Light Silver Crystal Space.

Before this, the Light Silver Crystal Space was the size of a small box that was a little over one-foot-long.

And now, the volume of the Light Silver Crystal Space had increased significantly, close to three-feet-long and one-foot-high, having expanded nearly three times.

“It seems that the mysterious power from within the Void Netherworld Stele was substantial, allowing the mystical space inside my heart to increase in size by so much.”

Chen Yu was filled with joy.

The original Light Silver Crystal Space could only store some small items, not too many.

But now, if Chen Yu changed the shape of the space, even the [Demon Flood Dragon Sword] could be placed inside.

Apart from this gain, Chen Yu had also acquired a palm technique imbued with the mysteries of space–the [Xuankong Palm].

At this time, a white-clad man flew over from a distance, his face filled with resentment.

And when he saw Chen Yu, his face became even darker, his eyes overflowing with hatred.

This man was Zheng Jichou.

The fight with Chen Yu during his climb had resulted in the death of all three people from the Chi Hong Realm who were with him.

Only he managed to survive by using his trump card, and he had now finally reached Sky-reaching Peak.

“Son of a bitch, if I don’t kill you, my name is not Zheng!”

Zheng Jichou clenched his teeth, his arms sweeping through the air, and eighteen small silver swords appeared in the void.

He was aware of Chen Yu’s strength and knew that if he wanted to kill Chen Yu, he definitely couldn’t use conventional methods.

But Chen Yu was currently sitting cross-legged and seemed to be comprehending something, which should be when Chen Yu’s alertness was at its lowest, so Zheng Jichou launched a sneak attack.

Even if he couldn’t kill Chen Yu, he intended to interrupt and disturb Chen Yu.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

The eighteen small swords transformed into eighteen streaks of silver light, drawing a splendid straight line, aiming for Chen Yu.

At that moment, Chen Yu was comprehending the Xuankong Palm.

This Palm technique was incredibly subtle and profound, and just the first one had Chen Yu feeling it was incredibly profound, requiring a long period to master fully. He couldn’t help but become immersed in it.

Suddenly, Chen Yu felt a sense of crisis and a strange, feeble spatial fluctuation.

Opening his eyes, Chen Yu saw eighteen streaks of silver cold light.

Without time to think more, Chen Yu instinctively struck out with a palm.

A shadowy grey Palm of light pushed forward, its vast range engulfing all eighteen streaks of cold light.

“Open!”

Zheng Jichou spread his arms wide and chanted a spell, directing the flying swords to scatter and besiege Chen Yu.

However, he immediately sensed something was amiss and his expression shifted slightly.

In the past, he could control the flying swords with ease and dexterity during combat.

But now, after chanting the spell, he found the swords difficult to control, as if they were locked down by a strange force.

Buzz! Buzz!

The eighteen flying swords trembled slightly and moved to the sides, with only two swords managing to move away, while the remaining sixteen were still within the reach of that palm attack.

Boom Bang!

With the palm striking down, sixteen trails of cold light scattered, transforming into sixteen small swords, strewn across the ground.

The power of Chen Yu’s palm had also dissipated completely.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The remaining two flying swords lunged at him.

Chen Yu suddenly stood up, channeling his Secret Pattern Demon Body and mobilizing his True Yuan, extending two pitch-black arms to grab the two attacking swords directly.

“Is this the power of the first palm of the Xuankong Palm?”

Chen Yu felt quite intrigued.

Although that palm wasn’t very powerful, it had a locking effect, preventing Zheng Jichou’s flying swords from evading.

Moreover, it was Chen Yu’s first time executing it, and the fact that he successfully pulled it off to break through the attack of a Peake of Late Stage Guiyuan Realm fighter was already quite an accomplishment.

On the other side, Zheng Jichou was stunned. The scene that unfolded before him left him immensely surprised and utterly puzzled.

“It’s you again? Seek death!”

Chen Yu’s brow furrowed slightly as he drew the Demon Flood Dragon Sword and slashed down.

Whoosh–

Zheng Jichou regained control over the flying swords and engaged in combat with Chen Yu.

At this moment, some anger rose within Chen Yu, who went all out, displaying tremendous strength with formidable swordplay and boundless Demonic Qi.

With the addition of a high-quality top-tier Spiritual Artifact and Chen Yu’s robust physique, Zheng Jichou found himself at a disadvantage in the head-on battle.

“This little bastard is really strong…”

Zheng Jichou thought inwardly.

He had been pushed back by Chen Yu on the peak, thinking he had underestimated his opponent and that Chen Yu had the advantage because of a flying treasure and Yun Fei’er’s intervention.

He believed that in a direct fight, he would definitely not be defeated by Chen Yu.

But now, he discarded that thought.

“Damn it, how can you be so strong?”

Zheng Jichou suddenly cursed, surprising even Chen Yu.

Whoosh!

After that, Zheng Jichou turned tail and fled, leaving behind a sphere.

There were many small holes in that sphere; it suddenly began to rotate, emitting a myriad of needles, fine as cow’s hair.

Ding Ding Ding!

Chen Yu swung his sword to deflect the incoming needles, shattering them all.

By then, Zheng Jichou had long escaped, vanishing into the structures of the Sky-reaching Sect.

Next to the Void Netherworld Stele.

“This person is at the Peak of Middle Stage Guiyuan Realm, yet he possesses such strength to drive away the Peak of Late Stage Guiyuan Realm fighter Zheng Jichou.”

A disciple from the Chi Hong Realm remarked.

Ranked seventh among the inner sect disciples of the Tianhong Realm, Zheng Jichou was known for his strength and various tactics. Even those with greater strength were reluctant to entangle with him.

Yet now, Zheng Jichou had been chased away with ease by Chen Yu.

“Was that palm he used just now, the one he comprehended from the Void Netherworld Stele?”

“Indeed, the power of space is mysterious; I wish I could have such an opportunity!”

…

Chen Yu did not pursue Zheng Jichou; the Sky-reaching Sect was fraught with danger, and rashly giving chase could trigger unwelcome perils.

Besides, Yun Fei’er and the others were still observing the Void Netherworld Stele.

Chen Yu returned to his original place, sat down, and continued to delve into the contents of the palm technique.

A little while later.

“Chen Yu, let’s go.”

Yun Fei’er’s voice suddenly came through.

It turned out that after watching the Void Netherworld Stele for a while and feeling nothing, they had given up.

Rather than wasting time here, it was better to explore the Sky-reaching Sect.

Not just them, but no one else near the Stele could trigger any anomalies.

Then, the group of five departed, heading deeper inside.

The deeper they went, the more an aura of chilliness and terrifying Evil Qi they perceived.

Suddenly, from within a cavern, two ferocious and ugly Evil Corpses sprang out and attacked the group.

These two were stronger than any they had faced before, at the peak of late-stage cultivation, invulnerable to blades and spears, and extremely savage.

“The Sky-reaching Sect is indeed full of danger at every turn; no wonder Ning Man Yao and other powerhouses who arrived earlier did not dare to explore but waited for more people to reach the Sky-reaching Peak!”

Yun Fei’er couldn’t help but say.

Just then, a figure appeared not far away, looking somewhat bedraggled.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Elder Wu from the Sky Wolf Realm.

At the moment, Elder Wu’s face was panicked, blood smeared around his mouth, and his clothes were torn in places.

In a blink of an eye, Elder Wu vanished from the spot, fleeing in disarray.

This scene made everyone shudder, Elder Wu being a Half-step Sky Sea realm practitioner himself. They wondered what danger he had encountered to flee so frantically.
