Chapter 2027: The Scholar Classic
An Emperor was killed by a blow from a jade ruler!
The frightening power displayed by Xue Ya caused everyone’s expressions to change.
Emperor Zhenwu and Sword Emperor Jun Huan were already unimaginably powerful. Now, there was another Emperor Dao Top Scholar Lang who wasn’t inferior to either of them. This was definitely not within anyone’s expectations.
Only a few of the old-timers who had participated in the Dao War of Emperors knew better than anyone that while the Fangchun Mountain disciples were few in number, each of them boasted unimaginably terrifying combat power!
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many casualties in the Dao War of Emperors.
"Junior Brother, while it isn’t easy to become an Emperor, it isn’t the end-all and is divided into different levels of power. Each of the so-called Nine Emperor Realms are huge hurdles to cross and the power an Emperor wields at each stage can be completely different."
Xue Ya patiently explained, "For example, Senior Brother Pu Zhen and Senior Sister Jun Huan have both stepped past the threshold of the Ninth Emperor Realm and can become Emperor Ancestors once they complete their Ancestor reversion.
"In order to avoid the taboo calamity, however, they had no choice but to suppress their cultivation, making others mistake them for ordinary Emperors. However...that’s no longer the case now."
There seemed to be a deeper meaning to these words.
Despite the intense on-going battles, Xue Ya seemed unconcerned as he explained the mysteries of the Emperor Realm to Lin Xun, causing him to be taken aback.Jun Huan's slightly impatient voice sounded from the depths of the cosmos, "Nineteenth Senior Brother, why are you talking so much nonsense? Quickly come help me and Senior Brother Pu Zhen."
"Bookworm!"
Pu Zhen's voice also sounded. Evidently, this was his assessment of Xue Ya.
The corners of Lin Xun's lips twitched. Senior Sister Jun Huan and Senior Brother Pu Zhen were probably the only ones who dared to talk to Senior Brother Xue Ya in such a manner...
However, Xue Ya merely chuckled and shook his head. He sat down in the void and opened the book in his hand.
His expression was calm, his eyes were clear, and he exuded a majestic aura.
Dao sounds emerged from Xue Ya’s lips, "Confucius does not discuss strange phenomena."
Every word felt as if it was imprinting itself onto the essence of the dao. The words resounded across heaven and earth like a mighty bell, rumbling like thunder in everyone’s hearts.
Meanwhile, an intense aura rushed into the sky and soaked into Pu Zhen and Jun Huan.
In an instant, their auras abruptly rose as if they had received some kind of divine help!
"The Scholar Decree!"
"A supreme secret art that’s rumored to improve a cultivator’s combat power. It is one of Fangchun Mountain’s nine great inheritances."
"Does such a miraculous dao art actually exist?"
Surprised voices rang out one after another.
In the depths of the cosmos, Jun Huan’s and Pu Zhen's combat power had clearly increased. It even seemed as if they were beginning to turn the tables.
Moreover, even Ji Xuan and Xia Xinglie, who were fighting Ultimate Battle Seal Emperor, Flaming Sky Demon Emperor, and Spear Point Emperor, had also clearly received an increase in combat power!
All of this happened due to a single sentence from Xue Ya!
The inconceivable scenes left Lin Xun repeatedly exclaiming in admiration.
"The knowledgeable won’t be confused, the kind won’t have worries, the brave won’t be afraid.
"Those with lofty ideals are benevolent, do not harm others for their own survival but kill only for good causes.
"While the commander of an army may change, the soldiers’ beliefs should not.
"A noble person should not seek fullness in eating nor seek comfort in residence and should be cautious with one’s words."
Xue Ya sat in the void and chanted the Scholar Classic, causing a grand and brilliant atmosphere to emerge as dao words shone and danced in the air like glittering pearls.
Lin Xun listened in fascination as if he was hearing the dao itself.
Meanwhile, hearing the words made Jun Huan’s, Pu Zhen’s, Xia Xinglie’s, and Ji Xuan’s combat power rise. The more they fought, the braver and stronger they became.
For the other Emperors, however, the words were akin to invisible swords that viciously slashed their dao hearts and wills, causing their qi and blood to churn wildly and their hearts to waver.
It was a scene that would make heaven and earth cry out in alarm and ghosts and gods weep!
A furious shout rang out, "Stop him!"
Several Emperors rushed out, summoning their Emperor treasures and displaying their Emperor arts against Xue Ya.
Rumble!
Treasure lights covered the sky as dao light surged ferociously, crushing the void with terrifying momentum.
Xue Ya sat there unconcerned and unfazed. Bathed in a majestic aura, he continued to recite the dao scriptures, like a god who could not be blasphemed.
Rows of blazing dao words glowed as they rushed out of his body to block and neutralize the incoming barrage.
A few Emperors ended up suppressed and to their horror, soon began to cough blood.
It was simply too terrifying!
It was inconceivable to think that a single person could create such an unbelievable effect by merely sitting there and chanting alone.
This was Emperor Dao Top Scholar Lang and the Scholar Classic!
At this moment, everyone deeply understood the true meaning of his title.
The Scholar Classic was like the law that decided life and death!
Rumble!
Deep in the cosmos, Pu Zhen swung his fist and killed an Emperor Ancestor, dyeing the surroundings red with his blood.
"How exhilarating!"
A touch of joy appeared on Pu Zhen's face.
Another Emperor Ancestor had fallen!
The shocking scene left them in disbelief and made their hands and feet turn cold.
An Emperor Ancestor’s death was an earth-shaking event with grave ramifications that would make even the heavens tremble!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yet, two Emperor Ancestors had already died after the appearances of Pu Zhen, Jun Huan, and Xue Ya!
Plop!
Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor was hit by a blinding thunder seal, causing him to shatter to pieces.
His primordial spirit immediately flew out only to be swallowed by a grand aura just as he was about to escape.
Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor’s primordial spirit screamed, "No—save me, save me!!"
So what if one was an Emperor?
In the face of death, there was no avoiding the feeling of fear.
In the blink of an eye, Ultimate Seal Battle Emperor’s primordial spirit was burned to ashes!
The death scene caused yet another commotion to occur.
It was no exaggeration to say that Xue Ya’s appearance had single handedly turned the tables.
He was the reason for Jun Huan’s and Pu Zhen's rise in combat power.
At the same time, he was also hindering the opposing Emperors!
"Enough!"
A cold voice suddenly sounded as an imposing, godly figure appeared and waved his hand.
A palm seal rapidly condensed in the void. Its five fingers were akin to mountains and its palm seemed like a world with its own stars and dao laws.
Although it was just a palm seal, it felt as if an entire world was attacking.
Rumble!
The grand aura that filled the area was rapidly scattered by the palm as it continued toward Xue Ya without slowing in the slightest.
Words bloomed from Xue Ya’s tongue, "Confucius says that rotten wood should not be carved and a wall of dung should not be plastered."
Immediately, the all-powerful palm began to crumble inch by inch.
Soon after, the imposing, godly figure was revealed to be a man with eyes that were as dark as purgatory who carried an ancient sword on his back.
Panwu Dao Court, Sword Ancestor Yunguang!
An uproar ensued due to the revelation of his identity. He was one of Panwu Dao Court’s five Ancestors who had been famous since the primeval era.
It was said that innumerable enemies had died at his hands!
Xue Ya's expression turned serious, aware of Sword Ancestor Yunguang’s fearsomeness.
The man sneered, "Top Scholar Lang, you dare to call me rotten wood and a dung wall? How very brave of you!"
He raised his hand and pointed. With a clang, the ancient sword on his back rose into the air and shot toward Xue Ya.
The ancient sword was two feet long and its body was as white as snow. Although its blade had no edge, it projected numerous dao marks.
The slash seemed to cut the world into two as if it was a painting.
The terrifying sword intent made the Emperors feel as if their spirits were being ripped apart as a piercing pain assaulted their eyes.
What a powerful sword!
A green jade ruler appeared in front of Xue Ya and clashed with the sword qi.
Boom!
The sky shook as the sun and moon went dark for a moment.
Xue Ya swayed somewhat but managed to remain seated. However, his expression grew increasingly grave.
"You may be able to hold out for a while if you focus on the fight against me. Unfortunately, having to help Emperor Zhenwu and Sword Emperor Jun Huan means you’ll definitely lose."
As Sword Ancestor Yunguang spoke, his ancient sword glowed brightly and slashed again.
Swish!
Boiling sword intent cut across the void.
The entire state where Mount Cloud sat trembled violently as numerous mountains suddenly collapsed, resulting in the destruction of countless houses and screams of alarm and terror...
A slash with the power to agitate an entire state!
Xue Ya took a deep breath. Just as he was about to stand up to fight, a soft and pleasant voice sounded, "Junior Brother, you may concentrate on your chanting."
In the wake of the voice, a strand of flowing light appeared and wrapped around Sword Ancestor Yunguang’s attack.
Before the attack could break free, it was cut to ribbons by the strand of light.
"What..."
"It was stopped?"
An uproar spread as the Emperors felt a chill in their hearts.
How could that unrivaled slash have been neutralized?
The corners of Xue Ya's lips curled into a knowing smile.
He quickly cleared his mind of unnecessary thoughts and focused on chanting the Scholar Scripture again.
Sword Ancestor Yunguang’s pupils shrank while his ancient sword floated beside him without any intention of attacking for the moment.
A graceful and beautiful figure quietly appeared in front of Xue Ya and Lin Xun. Her long jet-black hair was tied in a bun, revealing a clean and serene face.
From start to end, she gave off a sensation of being as supple and clean as water. Despite this, a series of exclamations rang out in response to her appearance.
"It's her!"
Great Emperor Yun Yan and the others recognized her as the woman who had appeared earlier as a member of the Absolute Origin Dao Court and slapped Emperor Fire Spirit.
"Why is she here, this can't be!"
An unknown voice sounded from the dark as if unable to believe how someone who should never have appeared had somehow appeared.
Emperor Ancestor Yunguang revealed a surprised expression as his eyes flickered rapidly in bewilderment.
The lady with a simple and neat appearance was naturally Ruo Su, the third disciple of Fangchun Mountain!
Lin Xun's anxiety faded away as he grew somewhat expectant to see his Third Senior Sister in action.
