Chapter 392: Chi Jiuyu's Dharma Aspect

The voice rang out in every corner of Yuyao Star, and indeed across the entire Yuyao Star System.

Beyond that, in the surrounding star systems, wherever Feng Tianrui governed, the same voice rang out as well.

A single star-system garrison commander generally held three to five star systems.

Silence fell in the principal's office for two seconds.

Chi Jiuyu lifted a finger and broke the seal on the principal, then said to Zhang Yunlu, "Some bio-weapons will break through the blockade and rush in. Stay safe."

The moment the words fell, her entire body had already become a streak of sword-light and vanished at the horizon.

"Follow Contingency Plan One." You Hao handed a jade talisman to his deputy, then vanished as well.

Even the principal, after dusting himself off, followed right after.

At a time like this, escape was impossible.

Once the bio-weapons broke through the protective grand formation, everyone would die.

Zhang Yunlu glanced out the window. Under the teachers' direction, the students were taking shelter underground. Though the incident had come suddenly, everything appeared orderly, not chaotic at all.

Clearly, drills had been held beforehand.

Drawing her gaze back, she looked at You Hao's deputy: "You give the orders, I'll do my best to cooperate."

The deputy was a little surprised, but still nodded.

That this Sword Sect prodigy was willing to help was naturally for the best.

……

……

On the field, Xu Xing also swept a glance at the students taking shelter underground, then looked up at the starry sky.

Two bio-weapons in the form of flood serpents, fully extended well over several light-years in length, with incomparably grotesque shapes, radiated an aura of utter annihilation. Between their scales, a dim purple light flickered unsteadily as they charged toward the Yuyao Star System.

Flanking them were many more bio-weapons whose auras ranged from Soul Transformation, Nascent Soul, and even Jin Dan, devouring the spiritual energy in the cosmic void and constantly splitting apart.

Each of them radiated a vicious, frenzied aura, yet not a shred of reason — not even those two bio-weapons comparable to Returning Void.

This was actually quite inconceivable.

The deeper one's cultivation, the clearer the true self; even if the origin was a dead thing, it would gradually give birth to a 'spirit.'

Dao-soldier monstrosities comparable to Returning Void, or even Union with the Dao Realm, yet possessing not the slightest spiritual intelligence — that could only be the work of a True Immortal, or of Cangzu.

Of course, this kind of bio-weapon was stitched together from the pure 'concepts' of savagery and resentment, so it could only exist out here in the starry sky.

Once it reached the Central Continent, it would be unable to bear the overly stringent laws of the Central Continent and simply collapse apart.

After all, they were cannon fodder — Xuan's methods were naturally a bit crude.

The structure of Dao-soldier monstrosities, however, was far more ingenious.

"Let's see how far you can go." Xu Xing said softly.

In the night sky, streams of flowing light, like meteors flying in reverse, surged up from every part of the planet into the starry sky.

Not only the Yuyao Star System — the surrounding star systems were the same.

Just after they had burst out from the surface—

Every planet within the Yuyao Star System lit up. Crimson formation patterns blazed to life on the planets' surfaces, until each entire planet was wrapped within them.

A vast flood of spiritual energy swept across the entire star system. The nodes along the planetary orbits were activated one by one; the circumstellar array shifted its form, forcibly drawing out the energy contained within the stars and linking every node together.

The circumstellar array as the foundation, the planets as the supplement — the planets' orbital paths were transformed into formation patterns.

Amidst boundless light, a grand formation covering the entire star system, its might comparable to a Returning Void cultivator fully manifesting their Dharma Aspect, was activated.

"Dharma Aspect — Manifest!"

Outside the star system's protective grand formation, a magnificent Dharma Aspect stretched out its body. Sword qi poured down like a waterfall, rumbling as it wove itself into a formation diagram.

The Dharma Aspect stood upon the formation diagram, clad in silver-scaled armor, wielding a sword of profound thunder. Thunder-light leapt and flashed all around it; a single vertical mark between its brows radiated solemn, murderous gravity.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Dharma Aspect gripped its profound-thunder sword and charged toward the two bio-weapons comparable to Returning Void.

…………

In the starry sky, a streak of sword-light arrived first outside the grand formation, revealing Chi Jiuyu's figure. Looking into the distance, she saw that the star-system garrison commander Feng Tianrui had already engaged the two Returning Void bio-weapons — profound thunder fell like ink, cleaving down with a thunderous crash.

Under the terrifying shockwave, the bio-weapons that were closer were reduced to dust.

The distorted, leaping shockwave swept in, and even Chi Jiuyu was sent staggering.

"Holy crap!"

She had encountered this kind of thing a few times before, but actually taking part in it herself — this was her first time!

Though she knew this was no time for such thoughts, she still couldn't suppress a surge of excitement in her heart.

From afar, she had already seen several bio-weapons charging toward her, and she no longer hesitated.

"Dharma Aspect — Manifest!"

Boom—!

The void trembled, and a ring of ripples, pure as snow yet radiating the supreme intent of slaughter and annihilation, spread outward.

Every word, every line, every chapter — read on!

Amidst the rising flames of light, a Dharma Aspect, pure white from head to toe, clad in a plain long skirt with sleeves and hems drifting, brimming with immortal grace, slowly straightened up.

In its hand, a long sword of blue-gold; its biting edge made anyone who glanced at it feel a chill of dread in their heart, as though it were the very embodiment of 'slay' and 'extinction.'

Long hair fell to its waist, and as it fully straightened its Dharma Aspect body, its tightly shut eyes opened as well.

The intent of slaughter, pure to the extreme, seemed to make the void itself completely congeal.

Its features were identical to Chi Jiuyu's, yet that coldness and solemnity could never possibly appear on her own face.

The Annihilation Dharma Aspect!

It was the Dharma Aspect method recorded within the «Annihilation Sword Canon».

After reaching Soul Transformation, she had been able to resist its influence to a certain extent, and so she had begun to cultivate the divine abilities recorded in the «Annihilation Sword Canon».

Because the two sword manuals complemented each other, cultivating them wasn't difficult, and this Slaughter Extinction Dharma Aspect was the first technique she had completed.

After all, she was Master's disciple—using the Grand Void Dharma Aspect all the time wasn't quite appropriate…

"Emm…"

Chi Jiuyu looked at her own ethereal, fairy-like dharma aspect and for a moment still felt a bit unaccustomed to it.

She was such a lively, active person, yet what she'd manifested was a dharma aspect that kept strangers at arm's length…

It seemed her dharma aspect cultivation was still not up to par.

A dharma aspect is the manifestation of all dharmas—the more it resembles the practitioner herself, the more consummate her dharma aspect cultivation.

"Feels like it's not even as cool-looking as the Grand Void Dharma Aspect…"

Chi Jiuyu muttered under her breath.

The Grand Void Dharma Aspect was golden and blazing, with both thunder and fire, plus a whole slew of strange phenomena—this Slaughter Extinction Dharma Aspect was really too 'plain.'

Moreover, she was going to be a sect master walking the approachable path in the future; this dharma aspect's appearance was far too aloof and cold.

'Being aloof and cold has already lost the hearts of the people!'

Look at Senior Elder Lingzu—one mouthful after another of "Xu Dage," and Master keeps that stern face on all day, only getting away with it because she's good-looking, though Senior Elder Lingzu is also quite pretty…

Hiss~!

No, no, no!

She was Master's most loyal disciple!

And for some reason, the moment she thought about these things, the back of her head would ache faintly…

In a flash, countless thoughts passed through her mind, and Chi Jiuyu had already met the charging bioweapon head-on, her cyan-gold longsword sweeping horizontally forward!

Amid the violent, murderous intent, scales and flesh splattered in all directions.

To hell with any dharma aspect!

Once she gathered the strengths of a hundred schools in the future, she'd definitely create an invincible Jiuyu Dharma—

No, wait!
