Everything happened very quickly in an instant. Urethai wanted to save Fang Xingjian’s life, but at the next moment, the scene that was before him left his eyes and mouth wide open in disbelief.
The two Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprints clashed fiercely in the sky, and absolute darkness rapidly expanded out in all directions at light speed from the point of the collision. Waves that destroyed everything in the world kept on being transmitted out until they were stopped by Immortal Yuqing and Venerable Master Zhai Xing.
However, the thing that took everyone by surprise was that the Heavenly Emperor’s Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint had suddenly shattered like glass before Fang Xingjian’s attack.
Under the Heavenly Emperor’s frantically changing countenance, his Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint had been shattered into dust by Fang Xingjian. He was stuck by Fang Xingjian’s big hand imprint, and layers of stacking golden armor and a golden palace instantly appeared in void space, forming a shield before the Heavenly Emperor.
This was the Royal Heavenly Great Art’s defensive technique—the Heavenly Palace. It was a divine palace in void space that was condensed from the light of a bit of the faith held by countless lives in the world. The technique could fend off all evils, as well as cut off all yin and yang. Once performed, it would be as if layers of the heavenly court had surrounded the Heavenly Emperor, allowing him to possess unbelievable defense. Even attacks at tier nine of the Divine level would find it hard to break through his defenses.
However, at this moment, the Heavenly Palace was weak as papier-mâché before Fang Xingjian’s attack. Amidst boom boom boom boom boom sounds of explosions, many heavenly palaces, buildings, and golden armor were torn apart and shattered by the great imprints that came down from the heavens. They turned into countless golden light spots that drifted in the sky.
It was as if there was a huge dragon dashing about recklessly on the streets.
Amidst the heaven crumbling and earth shattering scene, the Heavenly Emperor let out a cold snort and once again burst out in bright golden light.
However, at the next moment, his golden light was shattered by Fang Xingjian’s palm attack, and he plunged down toward the sea.
Roar!
The Heavenly Emperor let out an enraged roar, and streams of golden light appeared in void space. Amidst a series of prayers and incantations, the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint was activated once again. A huge golden palm brought about an overwhelming impact that struck out toward Fang Xingjian’s big hand imprint like a crashing planet.
The Heavenly Emperor’s palm imprint shattered once again, and he was like a fly that had been swatted into the sea.
Boom!
The sea level sank from this rapid and fierce attack, sending out tsunamis that were several hundred meters tall in all directions.
This attack also caused the Heavenly Emperor’s conjured physique to be filled with cracks. The imperial robe, crown, and hair which were materialized from martial will were all shattered.
Amidst enraged bellows, the Heavenly Emperor charged out from the seawater once again.
Courage Seal, Worldly Seal, Worldly Seal, Lives’ Wisdom Seal… Many huge densely-packed hand imprints appeared amidst the soaring golden light, smashing out toward the sky in an overwhelming manner.
In an instant, it was as if every inch of the world seemed to be flooded with great power.Large areas of seawater and air continued to vaporize. Under the impact from the powers’ repercussive waves, the bottom of the sea that was over 10,000 meters under the sea level was exposed.
Waves that were several kilometers tall surged out in all directions but were stopped by Immortal Yuqing.
There was not a single ripple at all at Fang Xingjian’s location—the spot where the attacks were the most densely-packed. Endless streams of golden light smashed onto his body. It was as if a light breeze had brushed against him, leaving him unscathed.
Fang Xingjian tilted his head, frowned, and said, “How weak.”
Boom! Fang Xingjian sent out another big hand imprint smashing out. A myriad of golden light rays was smashed, and even the Heavenly Emperor exploded from getting hit across space.
He charged out from the surface of the sea time and time again, but he was pressed back time and time again. The level of the seawater continued to drop very quickly from the repeated attacks, revealing the ugly soil at the bottom of the sea.
Everyone looked at this scene in a daze, watching as the Heavenly Emperor resisted repeatedly yet also exploded from getting hit by Fang Xingjian’s strikes repeatedly. Regardless of whether it was the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint, Heavenly Palace, or various other martial techniques, they were all unable to fend off Fang Xingjian’s pure brute force.
As the palms struck out time and time again, the Heavenly Emperor was rendered unable to resist. It was like a university student was bashing up a primary school student. The Heavenly Emperor was smashed into pieces by the repeated palm strikes and hit to the bottom of the sea from midair.
The seawater, that had a depth of over 10,000 meters, was vaporized during their exchange. All matter within a range of 100 lis was completely destroyed. If it was not because of the Immortal Yuqing’s, Venerable Master Zhai Xing’s, and Urethai’s powers protecting this part of the world, the duo’s fight would long have formed a super huge tsunami in the two worlds, caused the earth to tremor, and led to all humans getting annihilated.
Watching as the Heavenly Emperor was smashed time and time again, whacked harshly, and made unable to retaliate, Urethai’s eyes and mouth opened wide. “Crushing? How can it be a crushing state? A tier seven Divine level expert is crushing a tier nine Divine level expert? What kind of joke is this?”
Urethai was not the only one who was stunned. This scene had also completely overthrown the perspectives that the Immortal Yuqing and Venerable Master Zhai Xing had of the world. Tang Xian and Huang Shan were both completely stunned as well.
“B*stard!” The Heavenly Emperor let out a furious bellow as he exploded once again from a palm strike, plunging to the bottom of the sea. This caused a great earthquake with a magnitude which surpassed 10, shattering the entire bottom of the sea. The Heavenly Emperor turned into a golden vortex, and in that instant, his disposition, power, and will were all recovered to the pinnacle state.
This was the unique ability for experts at tier nine of the Divine level—Time Reversal. It allowed one to permanently fix themselves to a pinnacle condition. No matter what kind of attacks they received, they would be able to instantly return to their peak condition.
This was also the reason why Immortal Yuqing and Venerable Master Zhai Xing only watched on as the Heavenly Emperor kept on exploding from the strikes.
For tier nine Divine level experts, unless they had reached the end of their life span, their battles would never end.
Despite this, Fang Xingjian’s power continued to cause everyone to feel astonished. If the Heavenly Emperor could be said to be thinking of having fun before the fight started, then what he felt right now was that he was like a bronze-tiered player who had encountered five grandmaster-tiered players 1 . He no longer looked down on Fang Xingjian and went out at full force.
First, it was the time-stopping ability gained at tier eight of the Divine level. The entire world entered a complete standstill before the Heavenly Emperor’s eyes, and a period of additional time was inserted into the timeline.
At the instant the time-stop was activated, Immortal Yuqing, Venerable Master Zhai Xing, and Urethai concurrently joined into this additional time period. Urethai’s countenance changed and was about to make a move but was stopped by Immortal Yuqing and the Venerable Master Zhai Xing.
“Urethai, you can fight against us first.” The Immortal Yuqing let out a cold snort, sending countless sword Qis bursting out from his body and then moving directly into and outside of Urethai’s body through Spatial Translocation.
Simultaneously, he also had a part of his attention on Fang Xingjian. Seeing that Fang Xingjian was not moving and seemed to be at a standstill, he secretly let out a sigh inwardly for some reason.
‘This kid’s potential is far too strong. To think that he’s able to win against the Heavenly Emperor in strength when he is only at tier seven of the Divine level. We must get rid of him earlier. Without mastering time-stop, he’ll just be an insignificant ant no matter how strong his strength is.’
