My disciples are all villains.

The black figure controlled the black astrolabe.

The astrolabe was the biggest difference between a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar and a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.

The Birth Chart disk on the astrolabe shone brilliantly like the afterglow of the moon. The beam of light from the Birth Chart power shot toward Yu Shangrong.

Swoosh!

Yu Shangrong flashed and advanced. He cast Return and Enter Three Soul, dodging the beam of light and manifesting energy swords. His expression remained calm as he brandished the Longevity Sword gracefully.

The Longevity Sword moved like the wind in Yu Shangrong's hands.

The black figure suddenly felt that his opponent was not as simple as he had imagined. The fact that his opponent managed to catch up to him was more than enough to show his opponent was not as simple as a Ten-leaf cultivator. He had already been cautious, but he still could not help but feel shocked when he saw the energy swords and 

Yu Shangrong's speed.

Thrust, slash, raise, block, strike; the moves were completed in one second.

The black figure had no choice but to hold the astrolabe the other way around to defend himself.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every time the sword fell on the astrolabe like a violent storm, a thunderous noise would ring in the air.

The best defense was to attack. This was the philosophy that Yu Shangrong had always adhered to since he cultivated the sword path.

The residual energy from the sword attacks hit the mountain, causing rocks to tumble down.

'How's he so fast?' The black figure grew even more surprised.

Stab, point, slash, advance, attack.

Yu Shangrong's speed increased again. This was his first time facing a Thousand Realms Whirling expert alone so he was serious and cautious when attacking with his sword techniques.

The speed of Yu Shangrong was so fast that it caused his sword to hum.

The black figure was forced to retreat once again. He rushed toward the north of the moat.

Golden sworn energies descended on the moat immediately. The light was as dazzling as the sun.

When the cultivators in the golden lotus domain's Liang Province sensed the surge of energies, they rose up into the sky to have a look.

The snow that fell all year round did not melt as the golden light continued to shine.

Slash, strike, swipe, stab, strike.

The speed of Yu Shangrong's sword could no longer be seen with the naked eye. The black cultivator could only rely on his instincts and experience to dodge. The longer he defended himself, the more frightened he grew.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Creak!

The black astrolabe began to dent.

To be able to dent an astrolabe showed that Yu Shangrong's offensive strength was incredibly strong.

The astrolabe continued to creak.

The black figure was shocked to his core. He flashed backward rapidly and said through gritted teeth, "I don't believe you can keep up with me…"

The black figure flashed three times in a row before he came to a halt.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was out of the black figure's expectations that Yu Shangrong would also flash three times in a row, maintaining the same speed as him. Moreover, the speed of Yu Shangrong's sword was even faster than before.

"Guiyuan Sword Technique."

Energy swords appeared in all directions. Hundreds of thousands of energy swords that looked like golden spikes hovered in the air.

Upon seeing this, the black figure finally could not hold back anymore. He shouted, "What an old-fashioned fighting method. You don't understand the Thousand Realms Whirling at all! It's useless if you only have speed and strength!"

Boom!

With the black figure in the center, the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar rose into the sky. Its vast and earth-shattering power sent Yu Shangrong flying.

A slightly shocked expression appeared on Yu Shangrong's face. He stopped brandishing his sword and placed it horizontally in front of his body. He flipped several times in the sky before he stabilized his footing. The energy swords he had manifested in the sky were all destroyed by the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.

The snow continued to fall down the Heavenly Moat.

Now that the black figure managed to break free from the suppression of Yu Shangrong's sword technique, he charged over. "It's my turn!"

One after another, fist energies shot out.

Yu Shangrong smiled indifferently. "If this is the extent of your power, I'm afraid it's insufficient…"

Bang!

After the energy fist hit Yu Shangrong's sword, both opponents were immediately pushed thousands of meters back.

The Longevity Sword thrummed; the sound reverberating in the Heavenly Moat.

The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar stood behind the black figure like a demon. It emitted a dim light that boosted its strength and defenses.

Despite the numbness in his arm, Yu Shangrong said indifferently, "I've already said it's not enough."

At this moment, a golden Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar suddenly appeared behind the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, releasing tens of thousands of energy swords. Each energy sword was thousands of meters long as it shot toward the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar's body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The black figure was shocked. "What's this?"

The black figure had never seen an avatar that had mobility before.

With golden leaves, the powerful energy swords, and the moving avatar, the black figure statue-like avatar was nothing but a huge target. Regardless of how tough it was, it was still uncomfortable having to endure the onslaught of attacks.

The astrolabe creaked, and its power was like the mystic river in the void…

The black figure cried out wretchedly under the attacks of the energy swords. His air was unkempt, and his eyes were bloodshot. He endured the pain from the attacks his avatar suffered as he channeled the Birth Chart Power to his fist.

Boom!

The power of his fists was like a meteorite, leaving ripples in the sky. A thunderous noise rang in the air immediately, echoing in the nine heavens.

Meanwhile, the cultivators who were watching the battle did not dare to move closer despite being curious after they felt the violent and vast energies.

"Who is fighting in the Heavenly Moat?!"

"It's so powerful. Look at the golden light. It has to be some expert from the golden lotus domain."

"It's been a long time since we've seen such strength. Is it really a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar?"

Almost no one believed that a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar could release such terrifying energy swords.

Since the other opponent was a black lotus cultivator, under the night sky, it was difficult to see his black avatar clearly. Only if they drew close enough would they be able to see the black lotus.

Bang!

The Longevity Sword trembled and bounced back, hitting Yu Shangrong's chest. He let out a muffled groan and fell toward the Heavenly Moat. Since his golden avatar was too far away from him, it disappeared into thin air.

Upon seeing this, the black figure laughed maniacally. "No matter how strong you are, you can't make up for the difference between the Hundred Tribulations Insight and the Thousand Realms Whirling…"

The black figure flew back to the center of his avatar, and his astrolabe returned to its position as well. At this moment, the black lotus began to spin; the 36 triangles on the Birth Palace shone at the same time. With this, energy fists began to light up again.

Yu Shangrong, who was still falling, frowned slightly. Was it really impossible for a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar to defeat the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar? His surging blood qi annoyed him. The once-mighty Sword Devil was at disadvantage just because of a difference in realms.

At this time, the black figure looked down at the bottomless abyss and said, "That's the entrance to the Black Water Mystic Cave? It seems like that'll be where you die! You don't have a Birth Chart; how are you going to defend against my fatal fist?"

Swoosh!

The black figure swooped down; his two energy fists shooting toward Yu Shangrong who was now standing near the Heavenly Moat.

The two fists shot down like bullets, leaving black energy in its wake.

Yu Shangrong's expression was solemn as he muttered to himself, "You can't even defeat a Five Chart cultivator?"

Yu Shangrong stood unmoving as he looked at the sky with a determined expression on his face. "Avatar."

Yu Shangrong merged with his golden Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.

Upon seeing this, the black figure sneered. "Great. I'll send you and your avatar to your graves…"

Yu Shangrong lifted his hands to the sky; his avatar mirrored his actions. At the same time, ten golden leaves as bright as the sun flew to the top, revolving around his hands.

"Let's see if the Hundred Tribulation Insight avatar can defeat the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar," the black figure said disdainfully as his fists landed.

A horizontal wave of energy rippled out violently when the two forces collided, cleaving a mountain into two.

Boom!

The golden avatar with ten leaves blocked the two fists.

The two opponents fell into the abyss.

Yu Shangrong was rather familiar with the abyss. The first time he had descended into the abyss was to save Yu Zhenghai. Now, it was to save himself.

"Die!" The black figure's fists kept pressing the golden avatar down into the abyss.

Yu Shangrong kept falling and falling…
