Chapter 136: Quasi-Heavenly Rank, Fire Snake Seizes the Halberd

  On the pitch-black spear shaft of the Heaven-Defying Tyrant Spear, one after another mysterious lines flashed, quickly growing from the original four to eight!

  As the pure Yu Xuan rain poured in, the ninth Xuan pattern also suddenly lit up, and then slowly dimmed again.

  "The Ninth Rank of Xuanwen! Could it be that the Heaven-Defying Halberd will recover its Heavenly Rank today?" Li Wang said, his voice filled with a mixture of surprise and incredulity.

  Xu Yang shook his head, looking very calm: "It won't work. With the strength of Yu Xuan Rain and Yu Xuan Master alone, it's hard to restore the Broken Sky King Halberd to its Heavenly rank. At most, it can only reach nine levels of Xuanwen, which is just short of the Heavenly rank."

  The rank of a Xuanqi is determined by the rank of its Xuantie. The Xuantie is divided into four types: top-grade, high-grade, medium-grade and low-grade, with their power decreasing in sequence. Only a Xuanqi with a top-grade Xuantie can be called a Tianjie Xuanqi. Xu Yang's ancient Ding sword has two high-grade Xuanties, its power is very strong. But it doesn't have a top-grade Xuantie, so it can't be considered as a Tianjie Xuanqi.

  To engrave an extraordinary pattern on a piece of equipment, at least nine patterns must be laid out as a foundation. In other words, an extraordinary pattern can only appear from the tenth pattern onwards.

  Yu Xuan Yu seemed to know that the Heaven-Defying Tyrant Spear needed Xuan Neng's help, so she resolutely gave up continuing to break through to Xuan Shi and transform into a Xuan Ling, instead pouring all her energy into the black Heaven-Defying Tyrant Spear.

  The Heaven-Defying Halberd emitted wisps of black mist that quickly thickened, enveloping Yu Xuanyuan entirely.

  "The ninth layer of the mysterious pattern has lit up! The aura of the Hegemon's Halberd is still rising, and there's great hope!" Li Wang became somewhat excited.

  Xu Yang shook his head. The tenth rank of the mysterious pattern was definitely a top-grade mysterious pattern, and with the power of the peak of the mysterious scholar, it was fundamentally impossible to break through it.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, the dark fog dispersed to its peak and suddenly contracted, drilling into Jie's body like a whirlwind.

  On the rough arm of the halberd, nine dark patterns shone brightly, and as Yu Xuan's eyes slowly opened, the dark patterns gradually dimmed.

  "Damn it! I was just one line away from pushing it to the Heavenly Rank Mystic Equipment!"

  Xu Yang said calmly, "Don't be disappointed. This seems to be a distance that can be reached with just one stretch of the hand, but in reality it's not so simple. The difference between a heavenly-grade artifact and an earthly-grade artifact may only be one thread of mystic pattern, but the gap cannot be measured by ordinary means."

  Wu Xuan let out a sigh, picked up the long spear from the ground: "Being able to recover to the level of Qu Tian's heavenly artifact, I should be satisfied... Xu Yang, just now when I was cultivating, Po Tian Ba Wang spear transmitted several powerful killing moves to me again. Once I master them, I will definitely find you for a good spar."

  This crazy fighting girl really left Xu Yang speechless, he could only shake his head: "Forget it, even if your Broken Sky Overlord Halberd is fully restored, you're still not my match now."

  Xu Yang felt he was stating a fact, but didn't expect Yu Xuan to furrow her brow: "Xu Yang, when did you also learn to talk big? Whether it works or not, we'll know after we fight!" She suddenly swung her long spear, the wind howling as she struck straight at Xu Yang's shoulder.

  "Take this 'Fish Dragon Extension'!" Yu Xuan's long spear burst out with a silver electric light, countless sea beast phantasms appeared, transforming into powerful killing energy, striking directly at Xu Yang.

  According to Yu Xuan's idea, this move could make Xu Yang go all out even if he couldn't defeat him, and not dare to underestimate himself.

  Xu Yang shook his head, Xuan Shi and Xuan Shi are two levels of power.

  A spiritual fire snake emerged from his fingertips, spitting out threads of silk that wrapped around the virtual shadows of several sea beasts, directly entwining the hilt of Yu Xuanyu's spear. Then, Xu Yang's fingertips suddenly lifted, and Yu Xuanyu felt a numbness in both hands as the long spear flew out of his grasp.

  The fire snake rolled and flew with a long spear, and shot around Yu Xuanyu's surroundings like lightning, moving unpredictably.

  Watching the flame of silk letter, Yu Xuan's face changed color.

  Li Wang persuaded beside: "Xuan Yu, Xu Yang is a monster. Look at the flame snake's transformation, it's so vivid and dynamic. His spiritual power, his control over the mysterious force, are all abnormal."

  Hai Yue couldn't help but praise: "In a pure contest of transformation skills, even someone at the Xuanzong level might not be able to surpass Xu Yang. If I were to fight Xu Yang, I would have to release my full power to suppress him, and then use my absolute advantage in Xuanli cultivation to launch a fatal attack."

  Yu Xuan Yu reluctantly admitted defeat and snorted: "You win!"

  Lingyun smiled and said, "Young lady of the royal family, your strength has increased greatly now, but you rely too much on the Broken Sky King Halberd. Every move and every style bears the mark of an axe, which is a bit too severe. When facing someone like Xu Yang who excels at controlling mysterious forces with precision, it's inevitable that you'll be at a disadvantage and lose. If you understand the principle of combining hardness and softness, then even Xu Yang would find it difficult to take down your long halberd in one move."

  Yu Xuan's eyes seemed to be lost in thought. Le Tingyun continued, "If you're willing, for the remaining days, don't rush to cultivate, follow me and hone your actual combat experience, how about it?"

  Yu Xuan Yu happily agreed, having a partner like Xuán Zōng to practice with would be perfect.

  Li Wang looked at Li Zhongxuan with eager eyes beside him.

  Li Zhongxuan seemed to remember this nephew and said indifferently, "You just entered the Xuan Shi realm, follow me these few days to temper your combat skills."

  Li Wang was overjoyed, and then said somewhat strangely: "Second Uncle, you... don't you need to teach Xu Yang?" He had always thought that Li Zhongxuan treated Xu Yang better, but this time he actually ignored Xu Yang and only taught himself, which made him feel a bit honored.

  Hai Yue burst out laughing: "Just based on Xu Yang's skill in transforming his spiritual energy into a spirit snake, it's clear that he doesn't need to be taught anything, because we don't have anything good enough to teach him!"

  "Xu Yang," Hai Yue turned to face Xu Yang and continued, "For the next few days, you are free to cultivate on your own. If you have any doubts or difficulties, come to me, Li Zong, and Ting Yun Xianzi for consultation, and see if we can help in any way."

  Xu Yang bowed his head in thanks and then stood up to return to the Jing She. He had just entered the Xuan Shi realm, and for the next few days, he would place the Zhu Que Xuan Ling into the Star Sea to nourish it.

  In the starry sea, a palm-sized Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, and from its light yellow beak, it continuously spat out flames, purifying and refining Xu Yang's Fire Elemental Force, making it even more overbearing.

  Huoyue Xuanling has consumed almost all of Xu Yang's Xuan stone reserves, and the remaining Xuan wheel can only be delayed a little. Now, the Xuan Qi of the 36 peaks of Haiyun Mountain have been drained by Xu Yang, leaving only Lianyun Peak normal. Without several decades of recovery, it is impossible for the other 35 peaks to recover their former appearance.

  As for the contestants living in those thirty-five peaks, how to report to the court, Xu Yang didn't care. Anyway, he just said he didn't know and that was enough. No one would suspect Xu Yang of actually understanding the art of spiritual travel, let alone being able to use his mind to draw iron chains across the river and gather the aura of the thirty-five mountain peaks in one place.

  Can Donglai State find such a talisman master? It should be very difficult. Such a powerful talisman master will definitely go to Haoyun Shangguo to develop, seek dragon veins, and gather spiritual mountains for the imperial family.
