Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1353: King vs. King! 👑

Published: March 8, 2025

Night Zui!

The eldest young master of the Ye Clan.

Originally named Ye Canmeng, the Ye Clan later changed his name to Ye Shitian due to the ominous connotation of "Canmeng" (残梦, Broken Dream).

However, after reaching adulthood and mastering the sword, he changed his name to Night Zui!

This person can be said to be the greatest talent of the younger generation in the Nine Heavens, the king of swords!

From a young age, Night Zui was obsessed with the sword, completely immersed in it.

He began to come into contact with swords at the age of one. By three, he could practice swordplay; at fifteen, he became a sword king; and with the abundant resources of his family, he soared to the ninth rank! However, he was stuck at this level for a long time; it wasn't until he turned twenty-five that he became a sword emperor!

Even though his progress was delayed by ten years, he was still the only sword emperor among his peers in the Nine Heavens at that time!

Since becoming a sword emperor, Night Zui opened a great door to the sword path, rapidly ascending to the emperor of swords within three years; another three years later, he reached the saint of the sword; and in just eight years, he became the supreme of swords!

To this day, some say Night Zui is at the supreme third tier, some say the fourth tier, and some even say the fifth tier.

There are even rumors that Night Zui's sword cultivation level is not inferior to the legendary supreme Bu Liqing!

Of course, Chu Yang scoffed at this last claim.

But it also proved Night Zui's terrifying prowess.

Throughout these decades of Night Zui's growth, all temptations of power, wealth, and women in the mortal world were like fleeting clouds before him. The only thing that mattered to him was the sword!

He had heard a saying: Only those who are infatuated with the sword, who are intoxicated by it, can achieve greatness in it!

He originally wanted to change his name to "Night Drunken Sword"; however, that name didn't sound good, so he settled for the first two characters.

Now, this sword fanatic was facing Chu Yang!

In a helpless situation, Chu Yang said with a wry smile, “I say... this expert, you must have mistaken me for someone else, right?”

Night Zui stared at him for a while before giving a cold smile: “I’ve often heard rumors that holy clan members, especially high-ranking ones, can change in countless ways. I didn’t believe it at first, but seeing you today, I realize it’s true! Elder Three, you even managed to change your temperament…”

Chu Yang gritted his teeth and said, “You really have mistaken me for someone else!”

Night Zui’s expression gradually turned cold: “What? Are you not coming down? Do I have to invite you down?”

Chu Yang sighed heavily and jumped down from the tree: “I say, Young Master Night, where do you see me resembling Elder Three?”

Night Zui’s sharp gaze narrowed slightly: “Heh heh. If I’m not Elder Three, how do you know my name is Night Zui?”

Chu Yang was speechless: “The people you just killed were shouting your name… You don’t think I’m deaf, do you?”

Night Zui smiled indifferently, slowly raising his sword. The sword tip pointed at Chu Yang: “I’ll ask again, Elder Three, will you come with me or not?”

Chu Yang, feeling frantic, exclaimed, “Why are you so stubborn? I really am not…”

Before he could finish, a chilling sword energy surged toward him.

Chu Yang let out a wild scream and fled.

Holy mother, this guy is at least at the supreme third tier, perhaps even reaching the fourth tier... and he is a direct descendant of one of the nine great clans.

If I don’t use the Nine Calamity Sword Technique, that would be self-torture. If I do use the Nine Calamity Sword Technique, he’ll recognize me… In this situation, I can only run!

A glimmer of admiration flashed in Night Zui's eyes as he closely pursued.

Chu Yang was certainly not Elder Three; this was something Night Zui understood very well in his heart.

However, if he didn’t mistake him for Elder Three, how could he force him into a battle?
