That thing opened up a hole through a huge mountain and from the hole, a condensed godly aura could be felt gushing out while emitting strong heatwaves.
This mountain was the divine mountain in the Yin Yang secret realm, but it actually failed to resist and stop the impact of that objects crash. Other than that, there were also huge cracks all over the mountain that spread a few hundred feet long!
Zhong Yue retracted his wings as he landed on a little cave at the mountain top. When he was about to check on the unknown crashed object, he felt something and he quickly flew up into the air before the mountain let out crackling sound, shattering and crumbling into pieces.
Zhong Yue reached out his hands and he pressed them down in the air, unleashing an indomitable power that suppressed the dust back onto the ground so that they would not block his vision.
He then looked around and he saw a four feet long golden bone stood in the ground. It was a golden phalanx bone and seemed to have been severed by a sharp weapon.
Then, he reached out his hand towards the golden bone and suddenly, a condensed godly aura gushed out that damaged him before his hand could even come in contact with the golden bone. Blood started to flow uncontrollably from the wound.
Such terrific godly aura that is much stronger than the Fang Blade countless of times! The godly aura of the Fang Blade has faded completely when I found it but the godly aura of this phalanx bone is still in perfect shape!
With just a tiny phalanx bone, the godly aura contained in it was so powerful that Zhong Yue’s strong body began to melt as he got close to it!
Xin Huo flew out from his psyche ocean and he landed on the phalanx bone as if the godly aura was irrelevant. This little fire dude seemed to enjoy himself to the fullest and he said, “The godly power in it is still strong and you could use it to nourish your Yuan Shen. It could boost and improve your Yuan Shen drastically!”
Zhong Yue had a scare as his body showed already started exhibiting signs of disintegration before he could even reach this phalanx bone, let along letting his Yuan Shen to get close to this phalanx bone!
“The most dangerous part is the godly aura contained in the phalanx bone. You could visualize the Sui Sovereign so that it could help you to resist part of the godly aura, which would directly reduce the danger by a great deal. Thus, resulting in a less severe injury to your body. Then, visualize the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】to continuously recover your injuries.
Xin Huo then measured Zhong Yue and said, “With that, you will not die immediately and your Yuan Shen will benefit greatly from absorbing the godly aura from the phalanx bone.”
“Xin Huo, are you sure about this?”
“I guarantee you! Listen, it’ll be on me if you died! Ok?”
A speechless Zhong Yue then recollected his thoughts after a moment before he gritting his teeth and reaching out his hand to grab the phalanx bone of the god.
Pa pa pa——
The skin of his palms burst open and the muscles of his hands felt like they were hit strongly by some blunt weapons. Other than that, his bones were letting off crackling sounds as they sustained heavy pressure from all directions!
Then, the power of the godly aura spread out and the skin on his forearms started to burst open as well.
He immediately visualized the Sui Sovereign and the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】at the same time while he unleashed his full power. He opened up the five great Yuan Shen secret realms and the five wheels started to rotate behind him, generating the power of Wu Xing, Wan Xiang, Shen Cai, Yin Yang and Dao Yi that surged into his body to resist the power of the godly aura.
The【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】continued to repair and recover his wounds, producing new flesh and new blood on the injured areas, fixing the cracks in his bones and replacing the dead muscles with new ones.
However, the injuries were not easy to be repaired and they started to spread to his shoulders.
Fortunately, the damage stopped right at his shoulders, which caused Zhong Yue to feel relieved and he said, “Finally, Xin Huo, you were actually right for once!”
Zhong Yue then used his strength to hoist the phalanx bone. He felt that his muscles were sore and his skin was still bursting open, causing blood to splash about but alas, the danger would still pose no real threat to his life.
After all, it was just a small phalanx finger that contained a tiny portion of the godly aura, far weaker than the golden ship.
If it was the golden ship, Zhong Yue would have been disintegrated before he could even get close.
I might be able to use this phalanx bone to craft the sword hilt for my Fang Blade.
Zhong Yue’s eyes brightened up and he saw the totem carvings of a prowling dragon but they appeared to be broken partially, causing it to be difficult to cast the power hidden in the phalanx bone. He wondered,
I wonder to which race of gods this phalanx bone belonged to. Strange, why is there a god’s phalanx bone in the golden ship? Could it be that the celestial races in the West Barren made the body of a god into a humanoid weapon and they unleashed this weapon during the interception battle with the first headmaster of Swords gate?
He figured for a moment and he resisted the urge of throwing this phalanx bone far away due to the crazily condensed godly aura leaking from this bone. However, as he wanted to make use of the godly power hidden within it, Zhong Yue restrained himself greatly.
I have managed to cultivate my psyche into the thunder pool and to a level which could let me carve totem carvings on the Fang Blade. Originally, the sword hilt of the Fang Blade was just an ordinary sword hilt but with the addition of this phalanx bone as the sword hilt, I will be able to elevate the Fang Blade into a truly fearsome weapon!
He then held the phalanx bone in his hand as he drained out the godly power hidden in it. Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen could then feel the strong and powerful godly power flowing into him from his palms.
He felt an indescribable energy that flowed into the body of his Yuan Shen and nourished it greatly, tantamount to the feeling when one soaked themselves in a spa after a long hour of work. The godly power was increasing the quality of his Yuan Shen and strengthening his spirit and soul which formed the Yuan Shen.
Although Zhong Yue had once absorbed the godly power hidden in the Fang Blade when he got the Fang Blade, after a long time, the godly power contains inside the blade had faded almost completely. What was left was a nearly vacuous form of its former self. Thus, there was not much of an effect after he absorbed it.
However, as compared to the Fang Blade, the godly power contained in the phalanx bone was incredibly strong! The godly power continuously flowed into his psyche ocean and nourished his Yuan Shen, causing Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen to become even more solid and pure!
Hmm? The Yuan Shen grew by an inch?
Zhong Yue had a shock and he was in a state of disbelief as his Yuan Shen had surpassed the extreme limit of two hundred feet to grow by another inch!
That was completely impossible!
Two hundred feet was purportedly the extreme limit of the Yuan Shen, it was like an impregnable ceiling that restricted any further growth of the Yuan Shen. There had barely been anyone in the Rebirth, Awakening or even the Atman Body and Inner Core level who could actually exceed this extreme limit. Only those true paragons in the Heavenly Dharma level could do so and achieve a Yuan Shen of the length of hundred to thousand feet!
But now, his Yuan Shen actually grew an inch longer and breached the extreme limit!
Although it was just an inch, he had nevertheless managed to break the extremely limit!
This one little inch was very significant as although his Yuan Shen was only an inch longer than the others, it meant that his cultivation base was higher than the others by an inch. Seeing as it can be assured that all others would only have a Yuan Shen that was at most two hundred feet tall, it meant that he was superior to others no matter what!
This inch meant that hi
s Yuan Shen secret realms would be stronger and larger than the others and it applied not only in his current level, which was the Awakening level, but also the level of Atman Body and Inner Core!
With that being said, this advantage of a stronger Yuan Shen would last him up until the level of Heavenly Dharma and only in that level would the others be able to catch up with him!
Besides, he had yet to fully absorb the godly power in the phalanx bone and after absorbing the godly power completely, his Yuan Shen will definitely increase by more than an inch!
“That is why the godly power is so good, because it can actually loosen the restriction of your talent.”
Xin Huo then said, “Actually, your Yuan Shen has became slightly stronger than the others. En… only just a bit, not even any larger than a silk thread. This little bit of increase in your Yuan Shen was not because of the godly power you absorbed from the Fang Blade, but the power contained in the phalanx bone that was much stronger than the Fang Blade. Thus, displaying an instant difference.”
Zhong Yue’s eye brightened up and he quickly asked, “What if I managed to get a complete god’s skeleton and absorbed the power in it?”
Xin Huo glanced and said, “A complete skeleton of a god is usually a treasure that would be passed down from generation to generation in any race and without a doubt, it would be used to guard the saint place of a race if they had one. Who would actually give it to a little Qi Practitioner for him to cultivate? Besides, a complete god’s skeleton will definitely contain strong godly aura that could crush a little Qi Practitioner from afar. You were lucky that the phalanx bone fell from the gold ship was just a tiny broken portion and not a completely intact one or you could only stand aside and stared at it with nothing you can do about.”
Zhong Yue nodded as that was indeed the case. If the phalanx bone was slightly larger, he would not be able to do anything about it and all he could do was just admire it while he was being disintegrated by its godly power!
Therefore, it was because of the fact that the phalanx bone was tiny that allowed him to pick it up even with a huge cost of having his palms crushed.
His Yuan Shen was still growing and continued to exceed the extreme limit. As he continued to absorb the godly power, the godly power in the phalanx bone faded and it did not give off an aura that was as strong as before.
Once Zhong Yue completely absorbed all the power in the phalanx bone, the godly aura will disperse and the phalanx bone will become an ordinary god’s bone just like the Fang Blade.
Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen grew about three inches longer and after he was about to completely absorb the godly power in the phalanx bone, the godly aura dispersed and he said pitifully, “This phalanx bone is indeed a great thing, it would be even better if I could get a few more!”
Suddenly, horrendous waves started swarming around the secret realm and Zhong Yue’s heart thumped as he thought, Is there another godly weapon clashing against with this secret realm again? This secret realm will not be able to take on any hit… Hold on… Something is off… Someone is having a fight! It’s Elder Shui!
Without him knowing, the Yin Yang Secret realm had returned to somewhere near the safe path due to the clashing with the gold ship
Outside of the secret realm, on the safe passage, the ferocious fight was still going on. Zhong Yue could see faint images of people moving around quickly and heard loud explosions through the secret realm.
He tried his best to look outside to gain an idea about the progress of the battle. But in the Yin Yang Secret Realm, everything appeared to be in greyscale, making it difficult to make out what exactly he was witnessing.
All he saw were powerful spells that came in black and white, incredibly powerful spells!
He saw the silver moon hovering in mid-air, the grayish-black robe that cloaked the sky, the huge net made of light rays harvested from the deep space, and the Sword Qi huge like dragons!
This battle had continued for three days long but judging at the aura and power emitted from the Sword Qi and the other three soul weapons, Zhong Yue’s heart started to plummet to his stomach.
Shui Zian was already on the verge of complete exhaustion!
Chapter 194: Put Him Down... |
Shui Zian’s body was marred with bloodstains but he still moved as swiftly as ever. Powerful water currents flowed under him as if there were a huge river under him, lifting him up and ramming about everywhere like huge dragons as Shui Zian tried to escape from the encirclement of his three foes.
He was old and he was not as strong as he used to be. After enduring this protracted battle for three long days, he had lost quite an amount of energy and stamina. With the addition of the injuries on his body, he eventually suffered some difficulties during the battle.
If he was still at the prime of his life, he might not have even felt tired. After all, he was a member of the Shui Tu Clan, a clan renowned for their durability in battles as a result of the unique techniques and arts they practiced.
“Shui Zian, you are indeed very powerful, being able to withstand our joint attacks up until now. What a shame, you’re no longer the same as your were when you were younger.”
An old lady provoked Shui Zian as she swung her Bright Moon Mirror, launching Sword Qi that clashed non-stop with the 【Sword Sixty-Four Styles】and she said again, “We used three days to exhaust you so that we could kill you without worrying about you being able to retaliate before you die. Now now, since you are already exhausted, it's time for us to harvest your life!”
In mid-air, the【Sword Sixty-Four Styles】moved like countless dragons and as it spread out its Sword Qi, it set up a defensive grid line that was nigh impenetrable.
On the other side, the black robe was also a type of powerful soul weapon possessed by Xiao Yin, crafted over an entire life’s worth of effort.
It flew in the air erratically and without pattern, landing on Xiao Yin’s shoulder intermittently to protect him, allowing him to jump into the【Sword Sixty-Four Styles】or even cover the Sword Qi in it before melting them into ashes.
Then, another Qi Practitioner shook the huge ray net in the air, launching Sword Qi in the form of strings that shattered everything in its path.
Shui Zian could go up against any one of them without fear, but under their combined power, in addition to the powerful soul weapons, Shui Zian was experiencing tremendous pressure under such circumstances.
Fortunately, the three of them were quite attached to their lives and wellbeing and so they opted to gradually exhaust Shui Zian’s energy and stamina first, allowing the damage from his previous injuries to gradually reap his life. This would spare them the risk of directly killing him so as to ensure their safety.
But now, with his energy and stamina fully depleted, it was time for them to kill him!
“Shui Zian, die!”
The three of them jumped up and Xiao Yin wore the black robe back and he waved his hands as he charged into the 【Sword Sixty-Four Styles】. As he waved his hands, the sleeves of the robe became bigger and rounder before absorbing the Sword Qis into the sleeves.
As Shui Zian wanted to detonate the Sword Qis being absorbed into Xiao Yin’s sleeves, Xiao Qin and Xiao Yuan shouted, forming their Yuan Shen, the coiling Aos. They roared and emitted tremendous sound waves that shot towards Shui Zian!
【Celestial Moon Howling Art】!
Shui Zian got hit and he was knocked backward, coughing out blood immediately as the strong water current under his legs stopped flowing and dropped onto the ground. Before he had yet to recover his balance, Xiao Yin neutralized Shui Zian’s Sword Qi and quickly closed the distance with him and pressed his palms onto his chest.
Boom——
Shui Zian’s chest immediately sunk and his rib cage broke. At the same time, the mirror soul weapon in Xiao Yuan’s hands launched out Sword Qis that breached the defensive grid line of the 【Sixty-Four Sword Style】and shot towards Shui Zian!
At Shui Zian’s back, the Ri
ver God, He Bo appeared and formed layers of water lotuses that protectively surrounded Shui Zian while He Bo waved his arms, fending off the Xiao Yuan’s Sword Qi.
Xiao Yuan roared and she got close to He Bo, turning into a huge Ao before she opening her jaws and biting towards He Bo and the water lotuses.
He Bo reached out his hands and the water lotuses flew into his hands with Shui Zian in it as He Bo quickly back off. However, as soon as He Bo backed off, the huge net in the sky appeared again and trapped He Bo along with the water lotuses in it. Then, one after another, light rays shot out from the net and perforated the He Bo Yuan Shen!
Hu——
The water lotuses expanded quickly and they broke open the net while He Bo carried Shui Zian in his hands as they rushed out from the huge net. Then, the huge Ao that Xiao Yuan became rammed into He Bo and almost caused He Bo to disperse while inflicting even more serious injuries to Shui Zian.
Xiao Yin removed his black robe and he threw it towards He Bo and Shui Zian, covering them in the shadow of the black robe.
As the He Bo Yuan Shen touched the ground, and upon seeing no hopes of escaping the coverage of the huge net, he turned into water that gushed towards the surroundings while hiding Shui Zian under the water.
“Trying to escape?”
Xiao Qing summoned back her huge net and she spread it out in all directions while Xiao Que and Xiao Yuan guarded the two ends of the safe passage while waiting for Shui Zian to reveal himself.
Suddenly, the huge ray net lit up and blue-colored rays shot out and hit one lotus, causing it to expand. This in turn, opened up a hole in the net out of which water continually gushed out.
“Not trying to escape from the safe passage?”
The three of them were slightly stunned as they knew that the direction Shui Zian was running towards was the path back into the Divine Battlefield!
“With those heavy injuries, he is dead for sure. Should we still continue our pursuit?”
