Chapter 838: Opening the Eight Gates of Universe

In an instant, the middle-aged man’s eyes turned towards Ye Luo, flashing with an unusual brilliance.

"Boy, hand over the incomplete map obediently, and I will spare your life!" the Sword Sect expert coldly snorted as he stared at Ye Luo.

"Sorry, many people want me dead, but no one capable of killing me has been born yet!"

Ye Luo snorted disdainfully, his tone arrogant and domineering.

"Seeking death!"

The Sword Sect expert shouted coldly, his body surging with a sharp and solemn Sword Qi. His eyes were filled with intense Sword Intent, as if two beams of sword light were shooting out, making it hard for anyone to look directly into his eyes.

Whoosh!

The next second, in the darkness of night, the Sword Sect expert’s figure trailed a series of afterimages, channeling all his True Qi into his longsword, and he struck through the air with it.

The longsword, carrying terrifying Sword Qi, tore through the void towards Ye Luo. With this strike, the expert was unleashing his full strength, clearly realizing after seeing his comrade wounded that Ye Luo was no ordinary opponent.

Before the Sword Qi even arrived, the fierce Sword Intent transformed into an invisible aura that enveloped the area, suppressing Ye Luo and making it difficult for him to escape.

Eight Gates of Universe!

Rest Gate—Open!

Ye Luo instantly activated the Eight Gates of Universe, opening the first gate, the Rest Gate. His strength instantly doubled, surging throughout his body and erupting with a frightening aura.

After opening the first gate of the Eight Gates of Universe, the Nine Yang Energy within Ye Luo’s body surged wildly, filling him completely, like a volcanic eruption, releasing an astonishing presence.

Now, merely with the Nine Yang Energy inside him, Ye Luo was strong enough to annihilate a fifth-level Saint Realm expert.

After breaking through to the Saint Realm, Ye Luo’s Nine Yang Physique evolved into the Nine Yang Holy Body, and the original Nine Yang True Qi inside him transformed into the current golden Nine Yang Energy.

This Nine Yang Energy was even stronger than the Nine Yang True Qi. According to Ye Luo’s estimation, it was comparable to the True Yuan strength of a Hua Yuan Realm expert, making it one of the most powerful forces in this world.

On his own, relying on the Nine Yang Energy without using any Martial Techniques, he could annihilate an expert of the third level of the Saint Realm, not to mention now that the Nine Yang Energy inside him had doubled, the power was absolutely astonishing.

As the power inside his body surged, Ye Luo felt his entire body swell immensely, as if it were filled with water about to burst.

Had it not been for his body, which had been tempered by the Dragon Qi within the Dragon Ball to a very strong state, he would have had difficulty enduring the powerful impact brought on by opening the Eight Gates of Universe.

"Rainbow Sword Technique—Rainbow Piercing the Sun!"

Ye Luo’s eyes narrowed and he shouted lowly, immediately deploying a very powerful move from the Rainbow Sword Technique. The swelling Nine Yang Energy within him surged wildly, and the blade of the Lingyun Sword glowed golden, shining resplendently in the dark night.

Whoosh!

The Lingyun Sword immediately unleashed a terrifying force, the power of the Nine Yang Energy reverberating outwards as the sword struck, a golden Sword Qi tearing through the air like a rainbow piercing the sun, its blinding light making it hard for one to open their eyes, and its terrifying power spreading far and wide.

The Sword Light flashed in an instant, and collided with the sword strike launched by the Sword Sect expert. Ye Luo’s move, Rainbow Across the Sun, packed with terrifying impact force, instantly obliterated the opponent’s sword light and broke through the air towards the opponent.

"The Rainbow Sword Technique? How is this possible?"

At this moment, the Sword Sect expert and another expert previously injured by Ye Luo saw the Rainbow Sword Technique that Ye Luo was using. Both their faces changed, revealing expressions of utter shock.

This Rainbow Sword Technique was a powerful martial technique of their Sword Sect, one that even ordinary disciples were not qualified to cultivate. How could this unfamiliar young man possibly execute it?

Moreover, it was the powerful move Rainbow Across the Sun from the Rainbow Sword Technique. They had seen strong figures in their sect perform this move, which was as powerful as the young man’s execution, only their aura was even more terrifying than Ye Luo’s.

All of this left them utterly baffled, but at that moment, the Rainbow Sword Light had already descended. The Sword Sect expert hurriedly swung his longsword to slice through the Rainbow Sword Light, releasing all his strength in a frenzy.

With a booming sound, the Rainbow Sword Light shattered. The Sword Sect expert staggered back repeatedly, his body shuddered, and his face turned slightly pale, while Ye Luo’s body trembled, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Even though his strength was formidable, he was ultimately only at the First Level of the Saint Realm. He had previously managed to injure that Sword Sect expert because his opponent was unaware of his strength and had not fought with full force. Additionally, the Lingyun Sword had shattered the opponent’s longsword, causing severe injury to him.

Now, Ye Luo’s Nine Yang Energy had not fully recovered, and his opponent was attacking with full force. Even though he executed the Rainbow Sword Technique and activated the First Gate of the Eight Gates of Universe, doubling his strength, it was still difficult to injure the opponent.

If Ye Luo could ascend a few more realms, perhaps he could annihilate him.

However, with only the strength of the First Level of the Saint Realm, Ye Luo had managed to repel a powerful expert of the Ninth Level of the Saint Realm, which was enough to make him proud. Once word of this got out, it would certainly cause a massive stir and shock countless martial arts experts.

Such an ability to combat those across different levels was truly terrifying. Even the elite disciples from tier-one powers or super tier-one powers might not be able to achieve this feat.

"This... this is... such a familiar aura!"

At this moment, the masked middle-aged man, watching Ye Luo’s body surge with that terrifying Nine Yang Energy, changed his expression and was startled, sensing a familiar aura that made his heart quiver.

"Nine Yang Energy!"

Suddenly, the middle-aged man thought of something, his pupils constricted, and a look of horror appeared on his face as he stared at Ye Luo, his facial expression and pupils continuously changing.

"Boy, how do you know our Sword Sect’s Rainbow Sword Technique? Who exactly are you?"

The Sword Sect expert stared at Ye Luo, quietly circulating his cultivation technique to stabilize his injuries.

"Hmph, you don’t need to know all this!"

Ye Luo snorted coldly, naturally unwilling to disclose anything about Feng Tian. Were it not for his changed appearance and his limited strength, he would not have easily used this Sword Sect technique.

If the people from the Sword Sect realized he knew their swordsmanship, they would likely associate him with Feng Tian. Once they tracked down Feng Tian’s whereabouts, it would be a huge trouble for Feng Tian.

"If that’s the case, then I’ll capture you first, and we will see if you talk!"

The Sword Sect expert barked coldly, swiftly moved towards Ye Luo, his body surging with a terrifying aura again, and waved a single hand. The power of the Ninth Level of the Saint Realm burst forth, bringing an overwhelming oppressive force towards Ye Luo.
