The Sovereign's Ascension

“He must be mad!”

“Let’s go quickly. We’ll all die when the Indigo Thunderpython becomes enraged later!”

Fear began to appear in everyone’s hearts. But Lin Yun didn’t think too much about it as he turned into a golden beam and shot towards the lotuses. When he reached out, he grabbed onto the first Indigoflame Goldlotus. But he didn’t stop right there as he reached out for the eight other lotuses.

“Last one left!” Lin Yun’s gaze fell onto the last lotus, and he reached out for it. But the moment he grabbed onto the lotus, the Indigo Thunderpython lashed its tail out like a whip that sent him flying.

“No!” Liu Yunyan’s face changed when she saw this. She turned around and charged forth without any hesitation.

You can’t die! Liu Yunyan gnashed her teeth. But the entire lake was enveloped with lightning and flames, which made many people’s faces change when they got out of the lake. The environment was too dangerous, and it was lethal if they were careless.

Amidst the torrential wave, a figure charged out that made Liu Yunyan rejoice. Because she recognized that it was Lin Yun. He was still alive! But he didn’t run in her direction, but he turned to another direction instead.

Liu Yunyan instantly knew what Lin Yun was trying to do. The Indigo Thunderpython definitely wouldn’t let Lin Yun off so easily, and Lin Yun didn’t want to lure it to Liu Yunyan.

As the Indigo Thunderpython becomes enraged, the entire lake explodes, and it instantly becomes a living hell. Those disciples who failed to make it out of the lake were instantly devoured.

Liu Yunyan swung her sword and split the surrounding waves into two. When everyone calmed down, everyone could only see a thick mist covering the lake. The roars of a demonic beast could vaguely be heard along with the ground trembling.

The pressure beneath the lake had created a vortex as Liu Yunyan’s face changed. She quickly dashed away from her position because he was nearly devoured by it. But when she landed down, the surrounding waves came at her again.

“Damn it! I really don’t know how to explain to that lass now…” Liu Yunyan swung her sword to create a path helplessly. She knew that she had to retreat right now or she wouldn’t be able to leave anymore.

On the other side, Lin Yun’s face was pale with bloodstain on the corner of his lips. He was running on the surface of the lake, and there was a torrential wave chasing after him. Suddenly, the entire region was enveloped in an indigo radiance as Lin Yun turned around and drew his sword instantly, defending himself against the dozens of incoming bolts.

The colossal being was shrouded in indigo snake scales with its eyes brimming with killing aura, and a horn on its forehead flickering with lightning. The aura of an overlord beast instantly made Lin Yun feel as though he was in a quicksand, and the Seven Profound Steps was greatly weakened.

Shattering the last bolt of lightning with his xiantian sword intnet, Lin Yun instantly retreated. The moment he moved, an indigo spear fell at the place he was previously standing on.

The python released another roar, and a horrifying pressure created a wave of a few hundred meters. It felt as though the entire sky was going to collapse. Before the oppressive might, Lin Yun was like an ant before it.

“I should've provoked this demonic beast, at least on the Indigocloud Lake.” Lin Yun was rather calm at this moment. He shook his wrist and held the Flower Burial Sword in a reverse grip. As the Iris Flower bloomed in his dantian, his silvery sword energy began to roar within his body.

When he slapped his palm down, everything felt slowed down as if time had frozen at this moment. But in the next second, Lin Yun roared, “Great Wind Scripture!”

When his palm came in contact with the wave, the wave lasted for a brief second before it broke down. But that wasn’t all as the energy from his palm continued and sent the python flying. The python was thrown into the air and rolled several times.

Right at this moment, Lin Yun’s eyes lit up as he poured his sword energy into the Flower Burial Sword, and he threw it out. The Flower Burial Sword turned into a silvery ray as it streaked through the horizon. In the end, the sword stabbed onto the python’s back.

Along with an ear-deafening howl, blood splattered down from the python. Lin Yun smiled when he saw this scene, but his smile only lasted for a brief second before it froze on his face. The Flower Burial Sword was barely inserted into the python. This attack that exhausted one-third of his origin energy had only caused such a light injury to the python.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yun used the Seven Profound Steps and left afterimages on the lake. But it didn’t take long for his afterimages to be pierced by the lightning coming from the python. For a moment, the entire lake was covered in boundless lightning.

Lin Yun swung his arms backwards as he soared into the sky. He dodged the incoming spears and landed on the back of the python. Running across the back of the python, Lin Yun came before the Flower Burial Sword, and he slammed it down without any hesitation.

But even so, the sword only went two inches deeper into the python’s back. But even so, the python was trembling in pain. This instantly made Lin Yun rejoice because he finally saw an opportunity to defeat the python.

But a powerful gale suddenly came sweeping and Lin Yun could barely maintain his feet on the python. When he raised his head, his face instantly turned pale when he saw the huge jaw biting down at him.

Lin Yun held onto the Flower Burial Sword to try and control his balance. Just when he was about to be devoured by the python, he pulled the sword out as blood splattered. This made the python tremble as it roared out in pain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yun soared into the sky and got to a safe place. But before he could catch his breath, the python came crashing at him once more.

Looking at the python, Lin Yun didn’t have any fear in his eyes this time. He was brimming with fighting spirits as he used the tenth move of the Aquaselenic Sword, Heavenly Cloud Shatter.

The lake suddenly exploded, and a boundless sword aura rose from Lin Yun that formed into a water tornado. Under the wild gale, the sky was torn apart. His terrifyingly xiantian sword intent gushed out against the descending overlord Indigo Thunderpython.

In the next second, the two clashed together, and the ground trembled violently. Lightning and sword aura swept out into the surroundings.

With his origin energy exhausted, Lin Yun threw out a mouthful of blood from the shockwave. When he raised his head, the Indigo Thunderpython was sent flying away as boundless indigo scales fell down. The python’s entire body was covered in wounds, and no matter how he looked at it, the python was still alive. They might be evenly match, but Lin Yun had lost since he exhausted all his origin energy.

“This bastard’s skin is too thick,” cursed Lin Yun as he turned to run instantly. He was never someone who would submit as long as he had one breath death. A violent gale swept up from the rear as the python came chasing.

When Lin Yun raised his head, he was a few thousand meters away from the shores. If he could get on the shore, the python would be slower on land. But Lin Yun was feeling a little weak with his origin energy exhausted and all the accumulated injuries in his body.

Right at this moment, a familiar neigh sounded out by Lin Yun’s ears. When he turned to look, he saw a crimson figure. When he got a closer look of the crimson figure, he saw that signature bucktooth.

“Lil’ Red!” Lin Yun began to laugh. He knew that Lil’ Red wouldn’t be terrifying by Lu Siyin, and it would be following behind secretly.
