Xing Ya never stood a chance against Guhe’s attack but luckily, he was saved by Daji. He did not dare to tempt fate again and quickly left the area. However, he could not calm the storm in his heart. ‘This is who I am. No one can stop me from acting cool in front of them. This battle will go down in the history of Chaos so I must let them know just how awesome I am.’
He stopped where he was, and with the wind blowing his clothes, he said in a haughty voice, “With the sun and the moon in my hands, with the stars only a pick away, there’s no one like me in the world.”
Guhe’s aura instantly exploded. He narrowed his golden-purple eyes and attacked Xing Ya with his palm print. His body was filled with murderous intent. Never had he vehemently wished to squish a bug.
“Eldritch Wisdom Elite, the Chaos isn’t a place for you to do whatever you please,” said Daji coldly. She neutralized his attack with another wave of her hand. The aura around her body flourished like an Empyrean Fairy as the layer of ice on her twinkled like the night sky. The snow around her grew more and more which drastically decreased the temperature in that area.
“Chaos Wisdom Elite, I’m willing to come back in another month’s time if you let me kill him,” said Guhe in a deep voice. He must have hated Xing Ya to the core if he was willing to give Chaos another month.
When the people of the Heavenly Palace heard this, the expression in their eyes began to change. Never had they thought that Xing Ya would become so valuable to them one day. Even Xiao Chengfeng had to admit that Xing Ya definitely had a knack for making people hate him. He was the epitome of the saying ‘one should not fear death and do whatever one wants’.
“Who are you to humiliate me? I’m worth way more than a month,” said Xing Ya unhappily.
Daji did not agree to Guhe’s deal. Her face was cold and her eyes the iciest blue. She adjusted the force around her and her murderous intent was wrapping itself around Guhe. She was prepared to deal an attack at any moment. Li Nianfan had sacrificed so much for them. She wished she could carry some of his burdens so all she could think about right now was how to eliminate the Eldritch Wisdom Elite in front of her. She had no time to discuss irrelevant issues with him.
“Explosive Ice,” she said lightly, and immediately, a divine aura appeared in the surrounding air. It was the aura of Wisdom.
The people of the Heavenly Palace felt a boundless fear. They knew resistance would be futile. Her power had mutated to a level that surpassed the power of Heaven. The snowflakes in the sky exploded and bloomed. No one expected those snowflakes to contain such terrifying power in them. A layer of ice blanketed the void, freezing everything in its path. Guhe was immediately imprisoned within a thick slab of ice.
“Way to go, Goddess Daji! I can’t believe she’s been laying down traps for Guhe ever since she got here,” said Cultivator Junjun with admiration.
Xing Ya nodded. “Yeah, I thought she was pretending to be strong. I never expected her attack to be so powerful.”
However, the worries remained on their faces for they knew Guhe would not be so easily defeated. Their expressions became puzzled when there was still no movement from within the ice. ‘Did the great Guhe really just get eliminated? Did we make a fuss out of nothing?’
Just as they were thinking that, a grating sound came from within the ice which then turned into a loud booming noise as the ice exploded. Guhe stood there, unscathed. “I wanted to experience what it’s like being trapped in ice. It’s a shame the temperature inside is only passable. Is that all that you’ve got?”
“This is just the beginning,” said Daji coldly. The void around her started to crystallize into a giant dragon made purely out of ice. It rushed toward Guhe with a roar. Beside her, Fire Phoenix had unfolded the wings on her back, carrying her to the other side as she pointed her finger at Guhe. A ball of flames appeared beside her with a screech. The ball of flames then transformed into a flaming phoenix which rushed toward Guhe.
An ice dragon and a fire phoenix attacked from each side of Guhe, causing the void to be frozen on one side and flaming hot on the other. However, they remained separated as they suppressed Guhe. No one else but Daji and Fire Phoenix could have done what they did. The combination of the different elemental Wisdom attacks created a force so powerful that no one was unimpressed.
Guhe in the middle of it all felt half of his body burning while the other half was freezing. Two different sensations caused his mana to go haywire and the vast temperature difference caused his body to crack. He had to be careful as he pulled his fist back for a punch.
The ice dragon and fire phoenix collided with his fist and shattered, inch by inch, leaving a layer of flame and ice on his fist and making him slightly disoriented. He swept his gaze across Daji and Fire Phoenix, not daring to underestimate them again. He never expected their combined attacks to create a Yin Yang Path. Even he had to admit he was slightly taken aback.
Generally speaking, their elements were the total opposite and it would be better if they did not combine their attacks, but the current situation proved this theory wrong. They were no ordinary Wisdom Elites as well.
“I’ve underestimated both of you,” shouted Guhe. A mighty energy erupted from his body and shattered all the ice and flames around him. He then stepped out with a grim face. His next target? Daji.
He threw a punch at Daji. The punch did not have any visions accompanying but it managed to distort the void as it shook the sky. The simplicity of the attack made it even more horrifying. The attack of the Wisdom Elite was 10,000 times more terrifying than any ultimate spell attack. That punch contained enough power to wipe out many little worlds.
“Absolute Zero Field!” Daji performed a hand seal. The mana surged up like a tidal wave as countless laws of the universe gathered into a Wisdom vortex. A layer of ice appeared around her and anything, including the air, that got near to the ice would be instantly turned into ice sculptures. Therefore, with Daji in the center, everything in the radius of a hundred feet had been turned into ice and there was still no sign of it slowing down.
The layer of ice could not be compared to ordinary ice. Daji’s ice was the ice of Wisdom. Even a Heavenly Realm fighter would be easily frozen. Its defense system was top-notch, too, as it could even freeze fire. Guhe showed no signs of slowing down as he shot straight for Daji’s Absolute Zero Field. With the Power of Wisdom surrounding him, he landed a punch on the thick layer of ice.
The ice shattered and the pieces exploded in all directions. Guhe’s punch had made a path to Daji and in a blink of an eye, his punch was about to land on Daji, too! His eyes were cold, knowing that this punch would make him victorious. Daji and Fire Phoenix had caused him some trouble but no matter, for with his power he could suppress any of them anytime. Thus, he would take down one of them first.
Although he did not use his ultimate spell attack, the previous punch already contained 80% of his power. There was no way Daji, who had just entered the realm of the Wisdom Elite, could neutralize it. Suddenly, he saw Daji taking a small step forward as she stood in a weird stance.
‘Is she really going to try to neutralize the attack?’ wondered Guhe in disbelief as he raised an eyebrow. ‘Ha! Her confidence will be the cause of her downfall.’
In the next moment, Daji had already made a move. Although her speed did not look fast, Guhe could still feel a weird energy enveloping his fist. It was a very subtle energy as if his fist attack had been wrapped in a ball of cotton which halved its power.
“What kind of ultimate spell attack is this?” asked Guhe with eyes wide open. His face was filled with disbelief. Only a Wisdom ultimate spell could neutralize his Power of Wisdom and yet…something was definitely off about it. He wanted to take a step back but discovered that Fire Phoenix was already behind him, cutting off his path. She also used the same ultimate spell attack on him.
Their movements were like the blowing breeze—light, soft, and gentle. However, just like the blowing breeze, their attacks had blanketed every area, trapping Guhe within and neutralizing all of his attacks. This made him unbelievably frustrated.
The people from the Area of the Gods were filled with excitement.
“They’re using moves from the expert’s tai chi! This Wisdom ultimate spell’s so powerful!”
“Goddess Daji and Goddess Fire Phoenix have learned well under the tutelage of the expert to be able to maximize their ultimate spells like this.”
“They might even be able to win against Guhe!”
“Fire and ice, Yin and Yang. The expert’s tai chi’s perfect for the two of them!”
Their talks were filled with both nervousness and anticipation.
At this moment, Daji’s two hands were covered with a layer of ice and wherever the two hands passed, the area would immediately be covered in a layer of ice as well. As for Fire Phoenix, her two hands were covered in flames. They had Guhe surrounded and neutralized all his attacks with their tai chi moves. To the outsider, Guhe seemed to be inside a majestic Taijitu. One half of him was in the layer of ice, and the other half in a layer of fire. Even Guhe could not hold on any longer under the alternating attack of fire and ice. Cracks began to appear on his body and he seemed as if he could explode any moment.
“Ahhhh!” roared Guhe suddenly. His long hair was flying and his murderous aura was pushed to the limit. A wave of blood-red aura rose and covered his body. He was beyond mad. He raised his hand and with a voice that sounded like it had come from the deepest depths of hell, he shouted, “Plunder and Slaughter, Seven Styles! Indiscriminate Killing!”
The void where he stood immediately crumbled as if the whole of the Chaos could not bear his energy. The blood-red aura transformed into beams of energy that could split everything apart which was what happened to Daji and Fire Phoenix’s Taijitu. It did not stop there as it continued spreading to all four directions.
Daji and Fire Phoenix were sent flying through the sky by the immense energy with blood gushing out of their mouths. Guhe’s ultimate spell was enough to shatter all of their attacks and heavily injure them. They had underestimated him. He might have looked to be losing at the beginning but once he had induced his full power, there was no stopping him.
Plunder and Slaughter, Seven Styles was an ultimate spell he had developed through the years. It was created through the killing of countless beings and could be said to be the peak ultimate spell of the Dao of Slaughter for it could annihilate all his enemies easily.
“Plunder and Slaughter, Seven Styles! Targeted Killing!” continued Guhe as he pointed at Daji with one finger. Immediately, terrifying energy descended upon Daji without any warning as a giant finger phantom pressed down on her. Even a Wisdom Elite would be turned into dust by the pressure exerted by the finger.
“Goddess Daji, look out!” cried everyone. Their eyes were about to pop out as a chill ran down their spines. Guhe’s counterattack was swifter and fiercer than they could ever have expected. Was this what it meant to be the strongest of them all?
They began to panic. “Hurry, lay down the Chaos Star Formation!”
Daji had been completely engulfed by the cold aura and the scent of death. However, she did not panic. She rubbed the ring on her fourth finger and her eyes went soft. She then wiped her hand across her face and shouted, “Eternal Ice Crystal!”
A layer of ice crystal appeared before Daji and though it did not look thick nor heavy, it was the most solid shield anyone could have wished for in these circumstances. The giant finger phantom collided against the ice crystal shield with a terrifying force. It nearly split the sky apart but just as suddenly as it appeared, the whole Chaos went quiet as the giant finger phantom disappeared.
The cracked ice crystal shield, too, disappeared with the wind. Daji trembled delicately before falling from the void like a kite with a broken string, leaving a trail of blood wherever she passed. Her energy had all been spent.
“Huh? Is that a Wisdom Ultimate Treasure?” muttered Guhe to himself. His eyes flashed with puzzlement for this was the first time anyone had successfully neutralized his Plunder and Slaughter, Seven Style ultimate spell head-on. He had once again underestimated the beings in the seventh dimension. Just when he was about to send out another attack on Daji, the people from the Area of the Gods exploded with an energy he could not ignore.
“Die, Eldritch Wisdom Elite!” shouted Yang Jing loudly with red eyes.
“Die, Eldritch Wisdom Elite!” chorused Xiao Chengfeng and the others.
The chorus of their shouts rang through the air non-stop.
They performed a hand seal at the same time and induced all the mana in their bodies. Each of them were shining brightly like a star and the light connected them before converging into the middle of the formation with Jiang Liu in it.
