"Hum!"

"The mystery of Tai Chi!"

With a change in his move, Lin Yun wielded the Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand, unleashing the mystery of Tai Chi.

It so happened, there was an unplanned event. Little White and Little Blue were born from the Yin and Yang Trees of the Sanqing Palace. Reportedly, these two giant trees had witnessed the era of saints preaching. Perhaps it's due to this, the Yin and Yang spiritualities that Little White and Little Blue were born with were extraordinary.

When Little White and Little Blue were weak, Lin Yun hadn't felt anything. But as their power grew, Lin Yun discovered that his progress in the mystery of Tai Chi was incredibly fast, due to his frequent interactions with them.

Later, Little White and Little Blue entered the Bloodthirsty Sword, which was then obtained by Nanweng and upgraded to a very high level.

Upon their reunion, Lin Yun's understanding of the mystery of Tai Chi intensified through Little White and Little Blue.

In addition, because Little White and Little Blue resided in the Bloodthirsty Sword, using the Bloodthirsty Sword to display the mystery of Tai Chi could enhance Lin Yun's mastery of the mystery of Tai Chi, a remarkable feat indeed.

The Mystery of Tai Chi had become one of Lin Yun's formidable skills.

"Hum! Hum! Hum!"

The energy released by the Bloodthirsty Sword no longer moved in a straightforward way or in a simple martial-arts style, but started to operate in a mysterious trajectory.

Whoosh!

In a flash, a strong Tai Chi defensive mystery formed around Lin Yun. The circulating energy, akin to Tai Chi, revolved around him.

All of Heaven's Punishment Thunder struck this strong force and were rapidly absorbed by it.

"What is this?"

"It can absorb so much power from Heaven's Punishment Thunder?"

"Such a strong defensive force!"

Many cultivators below the stage were astonished at this sight.

"The mystery of Tai Chi? Such a formidable mystery of Tai Chi!"

"While powerful cultivation might come from various natural resources, insights into such mysteries require innate talent. If the previous information I obtained is not inaccurate, this Lin Yun is scarcely a few decades old…"

"Aolai Mubai is in trouble…"

Surprised, some of the super warriors on the judging stage exclaimed.

As compared to the ordinary cultivators, their vision was broader.

The Tai Chi Mystery of the Immortal Origin Holy Land had spread throughout the universe's upper echelons, making people aware of this supreme mystery. It wasn't easy to practice this mystery to the highest level. If the mystery wasn't practiced to a high level, it might be inferior to other powerful mysteries. However, once it was practiced to a high level, this mystery would be nearly invincible.

Upon seeing that Lin Yun blocked many of the Heaven's Punishment Thunder he had released with a simple wave of his hand, a chill ran down Aolai Mubai's spine.

"The mystery of Tai Chi? Is this the mystery of Tai Chi? Why is Lin Yun's Tai Chi Mystery so powerful...?"

Aolai Mubai's face was filled with disbelief.

He had also practiced this mystery, but he hadn't made much progress despite great expense. Rather, he was beaten to a pulp by some who practiced other mysteries. Eventually, he had no choice but to give up.

How old was Lin Yun? How could he practice this Tai Chi Mystery to such a high level?

"Not good!"

A moment later, Aolai Mubai's face changed dramatically.

The defensive power of the Tai Chi Mystery was very formidable.

However, the counterattack force of the Tai Chi Mystery was also not to be underestimated... especially after being attacked by an enemy!

"I am no match for this Lin Yun. Even if, I still have dozens of Heaven's Punishment Thunder unused... I can't release those Heaven's Punishment Thunders anymore, or it will only make things worse for me. Admitting defeat is my only option... unwillingly! It's really unbearable...

This Lin Yun is so powerful, partly because of that Bloodthirsty Sword. Without that sword, he might not be my match. Conversely, if I possessed that Bloodthirsty Sword, he might not stand a chance against me!"

Aolai Mubai felt incredibly bitter.

"The world initially had no limits, no limits gave birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gave birth to the two essentials... Yin came from Yang, and Yang came from Yin... Offense is defense, defense is offense, offence and defense can be freely converted, this is Tai Chi..."

With his eyes closed, Lin Yun used his mental strength to sense everything between heaven and earth, feeling the heavenly path of Yin and Yang and Tai Chi in the world.

Every time he used this Tai Chi Mystery, he understood it a bit more.

Especially when he had an opponent.

"No more attacks?"

At last, the Tai Chi Mystery around him absorbed all the attack forces that Aolai Mubai had deployed inside.

"I..."

Aolai Mubai quickly retreated, opened his mouth, and was about to speak.

"So, it's my turn to attack now!"

Lin Yun abruptly opened his eyes and swung his Bloodthirsty Sword. The massive Tai Chi mystic power around him, like a volcanic eruption, quickly assailed the opponent.

"Boom!"

A terrifying power drowned out what Aolai Mubai was about to say.

Offense was defense, defense was offense, able to switch at will. After absorbing a considerable amount of Heaven's Punishment Thunder, the attack Lin Yun unleashed at that moment was incomparable in its strength and terror...

"Can't Lin Yun see I'm trying to give up?"

On the other side, Aolai Mubai saw this and his heart thumped. In an instant, he felt like he fell into an ice pit, simultaneously shocked and furious.

Since his youth, he'd been a prodigy. In a fight, no one dared not hold back, let alone see him admitting defeat and not only refusing to relent but instead launching a stronger attack. This was something he had never encountered.

This was usually his trademark move.

That's why... when he realized he was no match for Lin Yun, he didn't concede in time.

He didn't expect Lin Yun to behave this way...

Moreover, the Tai Chi mystic power Lin Yun exhibited was far stronger than he had anticipated.

Offense was defense, defense was offense, able to switch freely. This was the supreme state of Tai Chi mystic power, something not everyone could achieve. Lin Yun's attack and defense were beyond his expectations.

With such a powerful attack, if it was all unleashed onto him, how could he have survived?

Aolai Mubai's face turned white.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

He shouted in his heart and frantically retreated.

"Bang——"

However, before he had retreated far, the defensive strength he had released around him was completely destroyed by Lin Yun's attack. The remaining attacking strength all landed in front of him.

His body was immediately blown away, like a projectile meteor.

Numerous wounds burst open on his body, and countless blood burst out of him.

On the other side, Lin Yun's eyes flashed with glimmers of light.

Earlier, Aolai Mubai had unleashed many Heaven's Punishment Thunderbolts at him without pity. Why would he be polite in return at that moment?

"Buzz!"

Lin Yun took a step forward and swung his Bloodthirsty Sword.

The countless blood from Aolai Mubai was drawn towards the Bloodthirsty Sword.

At the same time, Lin Yun and the Bloodthirsty Sword emitted a dazzling blood-red light, turning the whole arena blood red.

On the stage, under the gaze of countless cultivators, he openly used the Bloodthirsty Sword to absorb the essence of the opponent's blood.

"Just one strike severely injured Aolai Mubai, what a terrifying power!"

"Did Lin Yun hold back earlier? Was it because Aolai Mubai provoked him with the Heaven's Punishment Thunder that he unleashed his full force?"

"Bloodthirsty Sword!"

"It's the Bloodthirsty Sword absorbing the essence of the opponent's blood!"

Under the arena, many cultivators exclaimed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

On the stage, Lin Yun's aura quickly grew stronger.

"Buzz——"

All of a sudden, Lin Yun's aura paused before exploding dramatically, releasing an even stronger aura.

It turned out that at that moment, Lin Yun had broken through to the Half Step Super Realm.

Originally, Lin Yun was already very close to the Half Step Super Realm. The essence of Aolai Mubai's blood had become the straw that broke the camel's back.
