However, with another clap, ninety nine bells were formed again but saber rays rained down on him from the top and sliced the bells apart again.
Dai Wuji’s expression changed upon this scene but when he backed off again, Zhong Yue halted his advance and said, “Brother Dai, you’ve lost.”
Dai Wuji quickly looked around and when he realized he was forced out from the palm of Realm Monarch Si, his expression turned pale and he said as he bowed, “Amazing, Evil God Zhong.”
Without wasting even a second, Dai Wuji turned around and left without hesitation as he accepted his defeat.
Dai Wuji was a formidable foe. Though he was weaker than me, he managed to walk away unscathed from my attacks. He has proven himself far superior than the Bell Master from Prison Realm .
Zhong Yue praised in his heart for even being weaker than him, Dai Wuji’s masteries in bell were not any weaker than Zhong Yue’s masteries in his skills.
However, if Zhong Yue had not experienced the intense teaching of Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud, the outcome of this battle would be unknown only until the last second.
With the teachings of Eighteen Emperors of the Heavenly Cloud, Zhong Yue experienced a rapid growth in his overall strength, thus, allowing him to flip the table over when he lost the upper hand.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, on top of the other two fingers of Realm Monarch Si, the battle between Xuan Xue from Celestial Realm and Zheng Yan from Myriad Realm was also coming to an end as the battle reached its climax!
Xuan Xue might be a woman right now but her attacks were all extremely brutal and her movements were very big; her energy was so powerful that whenever she threw punches and attacks, she would create huge movements as if she were swinging a huge battle axe!
Her techniques were already on such a high level where she had removed every unnecessary movement and simplified them down to a terrifying level; while her attacks looked very simple and plain, they contained horrifying power that each time Zheng Yan tried to break her techniques, these seemingly simple techniques would generate countless transformations that would repel Zheng Yan’s attack!
Xuan Xue appeared to be the strongest among them all. She really lived up to her name as the five generation celestial emperor!
Zhong Yue’s heart sank slightly upon the power Xuan Xue displayed but at the same time, he can’t help but praise her; her masteries on her techniques were obviously a level higher than Zhong Yue’s and that was something she had accumulated throughout her previous five lives.
Her greater techniques had been altered into lesser techniques, which allowed her to cast them in an even quicker speed but without decreasing the power of her techniques and she could even switch from one to another freely.
And it was not easy to pull off a calculation to seek for the weaknesses of someone on that level!
I might be no match for her.
Zhong Yue madly calculated Xuan Xue’s techniques as he observed the battle between the two ladies but just as he calculated one weakness, Xuan Xue who was fighting Zhong Yue had already used more than three techniques and ever since the beginning, whatever she used did not even reappear again!
Usually, Qi Practitioners would master only a few types of techniques as everyone knew that it would be hard to acquire the quintessence of a technique if they cultivated too many techniques.
For example, Zhong Yue had less than ten techniques that he was really good at; the [God Slaying Three Styles], [Dragon Shears], [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art], [Mystic Dao Crusher], and also the [Six Soul Banner].
Even the [Shao Hao Bell] was not one of the skills he really mastered, he was not that good with it as he did not receive the true quintessence of [Shao Hao Bell] and the chance to observe the patterns and totem patterns of the true Shao Hao Bell.
As for Xuan Xue, her techniques were beyond imagination, not to mention the fact that she had already mastered all of them!
If he were to go head to head with Xuan Xue, he wouldn’t even be able to decipher her techniques and he would have to explore other ways to win against her.
Besides, without using any repeated techniques, Xuan Xue was obviously keeping an eye out for Zhong Yue as she knew Zhong Yue’s capabilities, thus, she was eliminating every chance of Zhong Yue being able to calculate the weaknesses in her!
If nothing else happens, Xuan Xue will be the winner.
As soon as this thought rose in Zhong Yue’s mind, five True Spirits appeared behind Zheng Yan; two had bird’s body and human’s face, another two with serpent body and human face, the last with human face and beast body and they had dragons and serpents under their feets.
As the five True Spirits emerged, they worked together and cast a great spell where this spell looked like a huge seal with carvings of the five Innate True Spirits!
The seal contained the power of five elements and the power effortlessly dwarfed the skills of Xuan Xue which she had cultivated for five lives as the seal simply mowed down all the skills Xuan Xue threw out!
Xuan Xue’s expression changed right away as she kept on hurling skills forward, had them to clash with the seal and while she backed off, her face turned pale under the powerful impact.
In front of this terrifying seal, her defensive measures were useless and her resistance was completely futile!
KRONG—
A huge explosion burst out as Xuan Xue created a shield in front of her, only to be sent flying away from the Realm Monarch Si’s palm.
This was completely out of Zhong Yue’s expectation as Xuan Xue was steadily maintaining the upper hand. Moreover, who could’ve known that Zheng Yan still had something like this hidden up her sleeves which knocked Xuan Xue out of the arena!
“A Creator-level technique?”
Xuan Xue regained her balance quickly as she suffered no injuries and the surprised Xuan Xue looked into Zheng Yan’s eyes and asked, “Did this Creator-level skill come with the imperfected cultivation technique you’ve obtained?”
On the other hand, Zheng Yan was panting heavily. It seemed that the cost of activating this technique wasn’t small, “You’re right, the cultivation technique is only half perfect, thus, the power of this skill was also not fully unleashed.”
Upon having her question answered, Xuan Xue turned around right away and when she left the arena, she said, “You’ve won. The techniques of the Creators are definitely stronger than mine.”
And with Xuan Xue’s departure, only Zhong Yue and Zheng Yao remained on the palm.
“Senior Martial Sister Zheng, I suppose you need some time to recover from that battle just now.” Zhong Yue said, “I suggest we wait until you’ve regained your breath first before we commence our battle.”
“Thank you, Evil God Zhong!” replied Zheng Yao immediately as she sat down and quietly tried her best to recover.
Chapter 708: Evil God Zhong, How Dare You Ploys On Me! |
During the battle with Xuan Xue, she had cast a terrific skill which was known as the [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp]. It was a Creator-level skill that bestowed her with overwhelming power at the cost of nearly all of her arcane energy.
It was the final trump card she prepared for the finals, but Xuan Xue was too strong and she was forced to use it now lest she be disqualified before even making it to the finals.
She furtively glanced over at Zhong Yue and found him standing unwaveringly on the index finger. Immediately, her heart sank and grew heavy.
The more magnanimous he appeared, the more uneasy she grew of him. Zhong Yue saw her [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] yet showed no signs of worry, something that clearly suggested that he was not afraid.
A few moments later, Zheng Yan had replenished her depleted arcane energy. She stood up and bowed, “Thank you, senior martial brother, I am grateful for your generosity. Evil God Zhong of the Prison Realm isn’t really that nefarious and evil at all. I was told that the Prison Realm is a place full of pugnacious ruffians, the Qi Practitioners are selected with the
number of competitors they’ve killed. You people cut down your competitor’s head and the more heads you have in hands, the stronger you are. And I heard that Evil God Zhong has the most heads, over two thousand. I was still a little nervous when I saw you, afraid that you’d be some sort of devils with horns. But it seems like the rumors are not true at all.”
Zhong Yue returned the bow and replied gently, “Rumors are just that, they shouldn’t be treated as gospel.”
Zheng Yan heaved a breath of relief and smiled, “They even said you beheaded a reincarnated emperor and hung his head on your waist! I believe senior martial brother would never do something so heinous as that!”
An awkward expression flashed past Zhong Yue’s face and Zheng Yan’s heart skipped a beat, she exclaimed in shock, “Senior martial brother really did that?”
Zhong Yue gave a dry laugh and said, “I had no choice….”
Zheng Yan was shocked, she quickly asked again, “Then about the over two thousand Qi Practitioners you’ve killed…”
“That’s true.” Zhong Yue answered solemnly, “But I never hung their heads on my waist, that was nothing but pure lies.”
Zheng Yan’s face turned pale as she looked at him. In an instant, Zhong Yue’s image in her eyes turned from a polite gentleman into an evil and wicked devil. She thought, You didn’t hang their heads on your waist because your waist is not big enough to fit them all, right….
She now believed the rumors. The Prison Realm was no place for the weak and for a human like him to be crowned as the Evil God Zhong by the pugnacious ruffians, it just went to show how terrifying this young human was!
I heard that on his first day here, he killed the Qi Practitioner that represented the Heaven Realm… Zheng Yan’s heart thumped heavily and she grew incredibly nervous.
Zhong Yue gave a warm smile, he said, “Senior Martial Sister Zheng Yan, can we discuss the possibility that if I defeat you…”
“You’ll take down my head and hang it on your waist?” The young lady questioned fearfully.
Zhong Yue quickly shook, “No, that’s what I meant, I’m not a terrible man. I mean, can you…”
“No, I’m not marrying you!” Zheng Yan quickly shook, “Not your wife, not your mistress, or your side piece! No coupling, no marriage, no love, no proposal! Nothing!”
Zhong Yue was dumbstruck, he hadn’t even finished talking and the young lady was making so many assumptions already.
He waited for Zheng Yan to finish before faking a cough and continuing, “I mean, can we talk? If you can teach me your technique of reversing the prenate state into innate, then I can teach you some things as well, including a complete Creator-level cultivation technique.”
Zheng Yan heaved a long breath, she asked dubiously, “Are you sure that’s it?”
Zhong Yue shook, “Yes. Don’t worry, I’m asking this for two other ladies. In fact, your cultivation technique of reversing the prenate and innate states is useless to me.”
“Can’t tell that you are such a playboy,” Zheng Yan eased her heart, she looked at him and laughed, “But we are of the same strength. I have cultivated the five types of Innate True Spirit and possess the Creator-level skill. Even Senior Martial Sister Xuan Xue is no match to me, so how are you so sure that you’d win? Fine, if you can actually defeat me, then I will teach you the way of reverse the innate and prenate states. But what if I’m the winner?”
Zhong Yue laughed helplessly, “Young girl, you think too much.”
Zheng Yan was infuriated, “If I win, if I win…”
She thought for a moment and finally, she said, “Then you will teach me that complete Creator-level cultivation technique you speak of, while I don’t have to teach you anything!”
Zhong Yue nodded and said casually, “Deal. Senior Martial Sister Zheng Yan, I will allow you to make the first move. But spare me the parlour tricks. You may use your Creator-level skill directly.”
Zheng Yan laughed, “That is my ultimate move. It depletes my arcane energy and if you dodge it, then I’d be defeated for sure. I hear that you are a Sun Moon Twin Spirit Innate Body, while I am half a Five Elemental Innate Spirit Body. Thus, I very much like to know which of the two innate spirit bodies is stronger.”
She raised her hand and thousands of Gold Sword Qi sized like needles were shot toward Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue clenched on the saber hilt and pulled it an inch out of the sheath. Immediately, Zheng Yan felt the saber will billowing over, seeping through her skill and lunged at her directly.
Zhong Yue’s saber followed wherever the saber went. If his saber will were to reach to her body, the saber would be able to kill her in an instant!
Zheng Yan quickly stepped back and changed her skill. The countless Gold Sword Qi morphed into the Wood Sword Qi and formed a barrier of trees. The saber will was stopped and the leaves from the tress were shot out at Zhong Yue.
Zheng—
Zhong Yue pulled the Metamagnet Divine Saber out for another inch, and Zheng Yan’s face changed drastically again. The barrier of trees morphed into burning flames and stopped the saber will.
Suddenly, a loud din reverberated the sky again, and a strong wave of fire breath crushed through her burning flames as if piercing through a piece of paper. Zheng Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and her skill morphed again into the Water Qi, Shit, he is the Sun Innate Spirit Body, playing with fire in front of him is like a child taunting an adult!
The burning flames turned into billowing water, but Zhong Yue’s saber will continued to press through without even slowing. Immediately, Zheng Yan changed the Water Qi into Earth Qi. It was only that the saber will was finally halted.
Right away, the Yin and Yang Qi in Zhong Yue’s saber will crushed her Earth Qi, and the saber will lunged at her again.
Beads of cold sweat percolated on Zheng Yan’s forehead, the Five Elemental True Spirit emerged behind her. With the help of the Six Paths Reincarntion, the five elemental Qi were gathered together to finally stopped Zhong Yue’s saber will.
Even so, Zhong Yue’s face betrayed no distress. A golden sun rose up behind him and the scarlet cloak fluttered wildly. Then, a figure appeared to walk out of the blazing sun and down the scarlet cloak as if it were a pathway.
It was the three-taloned Golden Crow Celestial Being!
Shush—
The scarlet cloak bore through the golden sun and a moon rose up behind it. At the center of the moon, the Star Toad Celestial Being also walked down the scarlet cloak.
The Yin and Yang Qi grew immensely strong with the appearance of his two spirits. The saber will was greatly bolsters, feeling as though it could now cleave everything that stood in its path!
Zheng Yan couldn’t hold any longer, the pressure was beyond her limits and she quickly shouted, “Careful, I will now cast the [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp]!”
Zhong Yue’s saber will softened for a split second, he smiled and said, “Please.”
Zheng Yan shouted, “This skill is very strong, if you can’t defend yourself, jump out of the palm. I will not kill you!”
“Don’t worry, you will surely lose,” Zhong Yue dispersed the divine saber as he smiled.
“You, arrogant!” Zheng Yan stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and finally cast the Creator-level skill—[Five Elemental Sealing Stamp]!
For the first time, Xuan Xue’s assault forced Zheng Yan to cast the [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] in haste. But now, Zhong Yue gave her all the time she needed to properly cast it.
Thus, the [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] she was now casting was far greater than the same [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] Xuan Xue was faced with. The Creator-level skill’s power repleted Realm Lord Si’s palm and the five elements around were in her control!
Zhong Yue could feel his mortal body and Yuan Shen shuddereing even before the [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] was launched at him, its power had already locked on him!
The internal organs of a body were analogous to the five elementals in
the nature, while the Qi Practitioners also have the Wu Xing Secret Realm. Zheng Yan’s [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] was precisely targeting those with the attributes of the five elements!
“The Creator-level skill… it is indeed strong.” Zhong Yue praised.
The [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] crashed down on the unwavering Zhong Yue. When the [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] was a feet above his head, a javelin shaped blinding light struck on the [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp].
It was the [Mystic Dao Crusher]!
A loud boom deafened their ears and the [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] was bore through and fell back toward Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan shouted in shock, she reached her hands out to stop the [Five Elemental Stamping Seal] but the [Mystic Dao Crusher] struck it again. The young lady’s shrill cry could be heard softening as she along with her skill was launched into the sky.
“Evil God Zhong, you wily cunt!” The young lady’s voice could be heard lingering in the sky.
Oh, she noticed . Zhong Yue shook his head and laughed. When Zheng Yan saw the [Mystic Dao Crusher], she immediately noticed its abstrusity and difficulty in casting it.
It wasn’t possible at all for him to cast it out in an instant, and so the following question arose in her head — when did he start casting the [Mystic Dao Crusher]?
Of course it was while Zhong Yue was letting her recover from her depleted arcane energy!
“Brat! Scum!” Zheng Yan crashed into one of the halls in the Imperial Garden. The impact force embedded her into the wall and rendered her powerless. She took some moments to regain her breath and pulled herself out from the wall.
She was furious and shouted, “How dare you trick me? If I hadn’t listened to you and taken the time to recover, I might’ve won!”
Her feet stamped on the quartz floor as she headed toward the plaza to avenge herself. But suddenly, she caught a glimpsed of her [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] and saw the two holes on it left behind by Zhong Yue’s [Mystic Dao Crusher].
He pulled back… If he had his skill piercing through the [Five Elemental Sealing Stamp] with its full power, I would’ve been dead already. Fine, fine, I may not be his match after all. Let’s just have mercy on him this once.
