“Attack me however you like.” Ba Yun Palace Master said in the manner of a senior.
Xue Ying merely chuckled. He brushed away his sleeves.
“Xiu xiu xiu…” A total of 16 black shuttles shot towards Ba Yun Palace Master, arriving in front of him within moments. At this moment, every single black shuttle was emitting a frightening might. Each shuttle had formed a faint illusion with a black hole building within. Even under the laws of the sacred world, this shuttle still caused the void to collapse and turn into a black hole, showing how powerful it is.
“Aren’t you saying that the essence of the Dao of Slaughter should be in its storage? This should be considered as ‘unleashing’ right.” Ba Yun Palace Master merely slapped out his palm. This palm had formed many illusions, parrying against the attacks of the 16 black shuttles.
Xue Ying shook his head inwardly after seeing this.
This Ba Yun Palace Master said he would only display the strength at the sixth level Star Pagoda, yet in reality, it was the peak of the sixth level Star Pagoda! Since each black shuttle of his was a peak Void God weapon, as he unleashed the Apocalyptic Sixth Sword, with 16 swords coming at once, even that Lei Yan Pagoda Master would not have an easy time defending against this.
Ba Yun Palace Master cultivated the ‘Imperial Dragon inheritance’. His body was extremely formidable. If scales were to form on his body, its degree of hardness was comparable to upper-graded Void God weapons. And his palms were strong as well–scales formed on his palm would be comparable to the strength of peak grade Void God weapons. No matter the strength or speed of his palm, they reached terrifying stages. And now, even though no scales were covering his palms, the speed and strength of his palms easily outstripped that of Thunder Fire Pagoda Master. He specialized in palm arts too, so Ba Yun Palace Master could easily parry against Xue Ying’s moves.
“Ba Yun Palace Master, you will understand in a while.” Xue Ying said.
“Then I will see how strong Elder Dong Bo’s techniques are.” Ba Yun Palace Master remained smiling. He did not seem to lose composure. At the same time, he continued defending against the incoming black shuttles.
“Xiu xiu xiu…”
The 16 black shuttles surrounded Ba Yun Palace Master, assaulting him like illusions. As they struck, shockwaves would form and blast on the light cover by the boundaries of the platform.
“Mn?” Ba Yun Palace Master’s expression gradually changed, “Why would it…”
“Interesting.” Those who were watching the battle above–Heart Imitation Religious Master, General Hatchet Palace Master, Monarch Xing Huo, and other Primal Chaos giants had discovered how unique Xue Ying’s moves were.
“He has improved again ever since the previous battle with Lei Yan.” Heart Imitation Religious Master praised.
Indeed.
If it were the Xue Ying then who fought with Thunder Fire Pagoda Master, he could only frantically attack by unleashing his Apocalyptic Sixth Sword.
And now, after creating the ‘Destruction Flower’, Xue Ying’s understanding of the Dao of Mirage and Dao of Slaughter had deepened. When using them, these moves became more exquisite. One could see 16 black shuttles striking Ba Yun Palace Master at the center continuously. Every time the attacks were parried, those shuttles would gather strength before circling back again. Furthermore, the 16 black shuttles had surrounded Ba Yun Palace Master in a sphere, akin to forming a world.
It came continuously, and its power was gradually increasing. Furthermore, these shuttles were able to coordinate with each other amazingly. Ba Yun Palace Master was unknowingly being forced to use both his palms to defend against the attacks. He was also having a hard time doing so.
‘How could this be?’ Ba Yun Palace Master did not dare believe it, ‘His Dao of Slaughter has reached this stage despite being at the Unity realm?’
It was too exquisite.
The original ruthless Dao of Slaughter had somehow become musical notes in the hands of Xue Ying, producing an enigmatic beauty! This beauty gave off a feeling that was similar to his ‘Destruction Flower’. If Xue Ying were to use his full force, he would likely be able to send 30 black shuttles with each using the profound mysteries from the Apocalyptic Sixth Sword.
Xue Ying smiled.
The higher the realm, the easier it was for him to display moves at the lower level. In the past, he could unleash 15 Sky Punishment Edges at most simultaneously! And now, he could trigger 25 of them! This was because of his more profound understanding of the Dao of Mirage. Hence, he no longer had to spend as much heart power in performing this move! The Dao of Slaughter was currently still lacking slightly as compared to the Dao of Mirage. Thus, he could form 20 shuttles using the Apocalyptic Sixth Sword at most!
The reason why he unleashed 16 shuttles though was for the sake of keeping some of his heart energy in reserve so that he would be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
‘This is too exquisite. If this continues, I might not be able to defend myself!’ Ba Yun Palace Master became slightly anxious. Under the observation of many cultivators, and even more Primal Chaos giants above, how could he lose to a Unity realm? Ba Yun Palace Master could not accept this just by the thought of it.
“These weapons of Elder Dong Bo are peak graded Void God weapons. My palms aren’t able to withstand them any longer.”
Ba Yun Palace Master announced with a smile. Black scales began forming over his palms. And now, each slap by him gave off a mysterious, horrifying power. “Peng peng peng”, the black shuttles were slapped far away. Currently, the gap in strength between them was too huge. Those black shuttles could no longer redirect the force, causing the previous chain of attacks to be broken.
“He has exerted strength beyond the original limit.” Heart Imitation Religious Master, General Hatchet Palace Master, and the others frowned, “This Ba Yun has displayed strength at the seventh level.”
They could conclude from pure observation. The majority of Primal Chaos giants could see it.
Nevertheless, most of the ordinary cultivators could not determine the strength of Ba Yun Palace Master since their realms were too low. To Ba Yun Palace Master, his reputation amongst those at the Primal Chaos realm was initially ordinary. He would rather be ridiculed by them then to lose to someone at the Unity realm!
‘Mn, he is actually so shameless.’ Xue Ying’s expressions changed after seeing this.
“Haha, Elder Dong Bo, did you say that the Dao of Slaughter belongs to storing? With my palms, those shuttles of yours are flung aside.” Ba Yun Palace Master chuckled.
“Ba Yun Palace Master, then you should try breaking this move with your palms again.” The white-robed Xue Ying stood there. His voice became frigid.
“Hua~”
The illusory world appeared real and unreal. At the center of this illusory world, there was a black flower bud with three leaves. Some dewdrops were rolling on each leaf. The entire illusory world seemed to be there just for the existence of this black flower bud. Closely following that, the black flower bud turned real from illusory. This time, it instantly turned real, emitting a booming sound as it absorbed the world energy frantically. A World energy vortex formed in the inner space of the battle platform, causing the center space to collapse.
The black flower bud appeared and completely enveloped Ba Yun Palace Master.
The flower bud petal was black and faintly transparent. One could see the figure of Ba Yun Palace Master trapped inside.
“Just this move? Break for me.” Ba Yun Palace Master laughed out loud.
Xue Ying coldly watched. Since the other party was so shameless, then there was no need for Xue Ying to respect him. He did not plan on hiding his seventh level Star Pagoda strength too. This was the ripe opportunity for him to display it too.
“Hong hong hong hong…”
Consecutive black flower buds appeared one after another, with the bigger one enclosing the smaller one; a total of seven black flower buds appeared, and Ba Yun Palace Master was trapped inside the innermost flower.
“Break for me.” Ba Yun Palace Master remained full of confidence. His understanding of the Dao of Mirage was shallow. He did not perceive how frightening the ‘Destruction Flower’ was. Maybe only after the flower bud unleashed its power would he understand how scary this move was.
“Hong!” Ba Yun Palace Master fiercely pierced out with his palms.
The black flower buds were extremely tough. Even as they had not bloomed, they were able to easily restrict Ba Yun Palace Master. Under his furious stabs, Ba Yun Palace Master was only able to destroy the innermost black flower bud, and with the blossoming of the petals, closely following that, the leaves turned into black aura and began undergoing destruction. Ba Yun Palace Master who broke apart the first black flower bud with his hands did not have the time to be excited when he felt a horrifying power engulfing him. The arrogant him remained uncovered in scales, yet under this power, his body was torn, causing fresh blood to drip from his injuries.
This was even when Xue Ying was showing mercy. He merely exploded the first black flower bud. If all seven flower buds were erupted at once, the other party would likely die from massive injuries if he had not protected himself with scales.
“What!” Ba Yun Palace Master’s expression changed. He had only broken a single flower bud when the force came on him. He no longer cared about being arrogant. As his body recovered rapidly, black scales started forming over his body.
Every part of his body was covered in a layer of black scales, increasing his defensive strength to an extreme limit. This was the prowess of the Imperial Dragon inheritance.
“Break for me!” A totem appeared behind Ba Yun Palace Master. There was an immensely huge black-scaled mutated beast, and this beast had even left the region of the black flower buds. The mutated creature was ultimately an illusion, so the black flower buds did not hinder it at all.
Many Primal Chaos giants were watching things happening with shock at this moment.
Ba Yun Palace Master was using his full force!
“Break!” A pair of enormous black claws slashed out. They coincided with the palms of Ba Yun Palace Master, blasting at the black flower bud. “Peng peng peng.” At the same time as he broke the black flower buds, the other undamaged flower buds had already blossomed one after another! Even though destructive shockwaves landed on his body, Ba Yun Palace Master remained fine as he withstood the blast with a savage expression.
In a single breath, he forcefully broke through five black flower buds. Closely following that, he unleashed his strength to break the outermost flower bud.
Seven flower buds from the start to end had been broken apart!
But what a pity!
At the moment he was freed, another seven black flower buds descended! It absorbed the surrounding world energy, forming a vortex with space at its center collapsing. World energy was continuously gushing in at this hole of collapse.
“Hong hong hong~” Ba Yun Palace Master was madly breaking the buds.
And Xue Ying merely stood to the distant. He let more black flower buds descend, preventing Ba Yun Palace Master from charging out at all.
If not for the nourishing effects of the Vermillion Nightmare inheritance on his soul, Xue Ying could merely unleash a single black flower bud at most! But by training in this inheritance, Xue Ying’s soul strengthened to the point that he could form seven flowers at once! With seven black flower buds… it was clearly enough to suppress Ba Yun Palace Master. But since the surface scales covering Ba Yun Palace Master were comparable to upper-graded Void God weapons, he was able to barely survive.
“This, this, this…” After being bombarded consecutively, Ba Yun Palace Master finally stopped. He was looking at the enormous black flower petals in a daze.
Seven black flower buds, one encompassed the other, and he was remained trapped within.
So what if his body defenses were strong? He could not even kill his way out.
He was a Primal Chaos giant with a seventh level Star Pagoda strength, yet he was trapped by these seven flowers! Even after using all his strength, he was still disadvantaged? And he could only survive by relying on his scales?
‘He, has he reached the seventh level Star Pagoda strength?’ Ba Yun Palace Master hazily saw that figure standing outside the battle platform through the translucent enormous black petal. He remained filled with disbelief.
…
On the high platform.
As Xue Ying displayed the black flower buds, General Hatchet Palace Master whose heart was hanging in suspense abruptly stood up. He stared at the seven black flower buds below.
“That is…” It wasn’t just him. At this moment, eight Primal Chaos giants could not help but stand as they stared down with shock.
Those like Heart Imitation Religious Master did not stand, though huge waves had formed in their hearts.
Seventh level?
For him to completely suppress Ba Yun Palace Master while having a superior advantage, Xue Ying was unquestionably at the seventh level strength!
In history, there had only been two Unity expert at the seventh level strength in the two great sacred worlds. Adding up all such experts since the primitive Ancient Sacred World until now and adding those who had fallen, there were only eight of them, of which seven had reached the ninth level Star Pagoda strength, and one at the peak of the eighth level Star Pagoda strength! Naturally, three amongst them had fallen.
As a result, those who reached the seventh level Star Pagoda strength would definitely be able to climb to the peak of the eighth level in a short period! There was a huge chance for them to reach the ninth level in the future too.
“Unity realm, seventh level!” The eight Primal Chaos giants stood up. The other Primal Chaos giants were also staring below.
At this moment…
All of them understood that they were witnessing the making of history. They were observing the emergence of a new Unity expert who had reached the seventh level Star Pagoda strength. He was also the third person to emerge in the history of the two great sacred worlds, and the ninth person to reach this stage ever since the primitive Ancient Sacred World era.
And this person was none other than Dong Bo Xue Ying from the Great Void Heaven Temple!
