Chapter 1087: Heavenly Daos and Daoless
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Xuan Ji had never seen this before. The one who was behind him was exactly the same as the one in front of him, both Zhong Yue’s looked exactly the same and both had a divine saber in their hands as they lunged at him.
The two Zhong Yue’s circled around Xuan Ji as they fought him, but Xuan Ji was not afraid and fought back against the two alone.
Suddenly, a loud explosion occurred as another Zhong Yue walked out of the void. He was holding a divine saber and rushed toward Xuan Ji while laughing, “My friends, I am here to help!”
Incarnations? No, they are too strong to be incarnations!
Xuan Ji was shocked and felt the overwhelming pressure. The three Zhong Yues were equal in strength. Each and every one of them was incredibly strong. Even when he combined the 22 Fuxi monarch arts together, standing against three of them was still too overwhelming for him to handle.
With another loud boom, the fourth Zhong Yue joined in the battle. He laughed, “My three friends, it’s an exciting battle. How can I miss out on this?”
Xuan Ji muffled a groan as the pressure intensified. Four Zhong Yue’s each casting the [Dao Crusher] together were strong enough to break his defenses!
It’s not his Space Reincarnation, it’s definitely not! The Space Reincarnation could never do this! They are not his Dao Body and Dirt Body either, he isn’t strong enough to cultivate the Dao Body and Dirt Body yet!
As Xuan Ji was thinking, the fifth Zhong Yue appeared and was soon followed by the sixth. Six Zhong Yue’s now surrounded him in the center, rendering him defenseless against them!
The [Dao Crusher] struck him, severing his snake tail, breaking his dragon scales. His third eye was crushed and his limbs were severed. All of a sudden, Xuan Ji found himself in a tragic state as his fear approached new heights.
Even as the mighty Heaven’s disciple, he still couldn’t explain what he was now experiencing. Where did the five Zhong Yue’s come from? How could they all have the same strength as the original?
“I know now, it’s not the Space Reincarnation!”
Xuan Ji suddenly laughed loudly, he dispersed his Fuxi True Form and returned to his true body – a creature with a head but no face, hands but no fingers, legs but no toes, and a body but no bones. He cast out a skill and turned himself into an armillary sphere.
“King Yi, stunning, truly stunning! What you were using was the Space Reincarnation but now, now you’ve changed to the Time Reincarnation!”
“Armillary sphere!”
Xuan Ji brought out the weapon that was suffused with the air of Heavenly Dao. It flew out from his hand and rammed one of the Zhong Yues backward. He laughed while saying, “All six of you aged differently. You are an hour older than him, he is another hour older than you! It’s clear that your seventh secret realm has changed into the Time Secret Realm without me realizing it. This King Yi is an hour older than the current you, and that one is two hours older.”
This time, Xuan Ji didn’t cast the Fuxi arts and techniques but the Heavenly Daos’ skills to defend against the six Zhong Yues. He laughed, “So King Yi had mastered two seventh secret realms. One being the Space Secret Realm and the other being the Time Secret Realm. Your Seven Paths Reincarnation used the Space and Time Secret Realm. Your future selves came from the other Six Paths Reincarnations! This Seven Paths Reincarnation is really amazing, but it won’t last long!”
Just as he finished talking, one Zhong Yue disappeared, followed by the second, the third, and the fourth Zhong Yue.
Finally, only one was left standing.
Xuan Ji flipped his hand and slammed his palm down while laughing, “What else do you have up your sleeves? King Yi, your seventh secret realm won’t last long either now. Concede defeat!”
Zhong Yue was retreating backward through one layer of dimension after another. But the palm chased closely behind and soon managed to land a blow against him, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood.
“Once the Heavenly Daos’ skills are cast, they will never miss!”
Xuan Ji cast his skill into the Tian Xuan Chariot and leisurely moved toward Zhong Yue. He cast out the Tian Biao Pillar and swung it forward while laughing, “King Yi, you are indeed a genius to be able to counter the 22 Fuxi monarchs’ arts and techniques. Someone like yourself is already the best of the mortal worlds, but unfortunately, I’m not from the mortal worlds.”
The Tian Biao Pillar swung on Zhong Yue’s body and bent his spine, sending him crashing through the Star Rivers and into the void.
Xuan Ji rode forward as he laughed, “To battle with me even on the same level, it’s still like me taking advantage of you. One must know, even the Heavenly Monarch is Heaven’s Son. How can you, a mere cultivator, be a match for Heaven’s disciple? Just concede defeat, admit your inferiority and save yourself all this pain and sufferi-…”
Dong-
Xuan Ji was stunned on the ground, the Tian Xuan Chariot crumbled away and the Heavenly Daos’ skills he cast immediately become impotent.
Krong-
Zhong Yue slammed his palm down and Xuan Ji ‘spurted’ out a mouthful of blood while falling backward!
But before he could regain his balance, Zhong Yue strode forward and cast the skill again. The [Daoless Heaven] had silenced even the Heavenly Daos and rendered Xuan Ji’s skills useless!
Zhong Yue launched another palm strike, Xuan Ji ‘spurted’ out a mouth of blood and rolled faraway.
“[Daoless Heaven]!”
Xuan Ji’s face changed drastically, his voice changed as he shrieked in fear, “How did you learn this skill!?”
Zhong Yue strode forward and cast the same [Daoless Heaven]. The surroundings became blanketed by a huge shadow that seemed to suffocate and eradicate the Daos of heaven and earth. It was a skill even more insidious than the [Evil Tome] and even more demonic than the demon monarch’s demonic air. Every other skill would turn powerless before it, even Xuan Ji couldn’t defend himself against it.
Even Heaven’s disciple cannot counter the [Daoless Heaven]? Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief but couldn’t help but also feel disappointment.
All of a sudden, Xuan Ji started chanting the ancient Dao language. But there was also some of the divine language randomly mixed in. However, Zhong Yue could still tell that the chants were the Dao language of the Heavenly Daos. He had heard it before from Great Si Ming. But what puzzled him was that Xuan Ji had mixed some divine language in the chants, making it sound incredibly odd.
Then, the phantoms of the Heavenly Daos’ divine weapons appeared around Xuan Ji. There was a total of 30 divine weapons, representing the 30 Drawings of Heavenly Daos!
Hastily, Zhong Yue bolted forward. Great Si Ming had used the same method to counter the Drum of Dusk, which was also the [Daoless Heaven]’s divine weapon form!
Clearly, Xuan Ji was planning to use the same method to counter his [Daoless Heaven]!
Xuan Ji was moving backward at a great speed. One was retreating and the other was chasing. In just seconds, they had traversed through the Star Rivers and entered Xuan Ji’s Seven Paths Reincarnation.
All of a sudden, Xuan Ji muffled a deep groan as his seventh secret realm had also reached its limit. The secret realm closed and the Heavenly Daos Reincarnation disappeared.
His aura faltered greatly and Zhong Yue’s eyes lit up. Concomitant with a loud bang of the drum, a cloak of darkness rose up behind him.
Krong-
His attacks rained down on the 30 Heavenly Daos divine weapons that were still coming into form. Xuan Ji shuddered and ‘spurted’ out another mouth of blood. As he didn’t have a mouth, the blood was seeping out directly from the surface of his skin.
Zhong Yue’s attacks grew heavier and faster. In just seconds, the peculiar creature was covered in his own blood!
But strangely enough, even though he was bleeding, the blood didn’t leave his body. They were flowing on the surface of his skin, making Zhong Yue unable to retrieve any blood for Feng Xiaozhong’s research.
Zhong Yue bolted to the front of Xuan Ji and scooped up a handful of blood away, but when the blood had left Xuan Ji’s body, it would always evaporate into nothingness.
It was then that Xuan Ji’s 30 Heavenly Daos divine weapons were finally fully formed. The air of the Heavenly Daos intensified and overwhelmed Zhong Yue in it. To which, Zhong Yue immediately moved back and evaded the divine weapons’ powers.
Then, Zhong Yue cast the [Daoless Heaven] and with the loud blast of the drum, the 30 Heavenly Daos divine weapons’ attacks were rendered powerless and forced to stop.
Zhong Yue’s cloak of darkness spread out wildly, it had covered a vast area and was pushing in close toward Xuan Ji. But before it could get close enough, it was warded off by the 30 Heavenly Daos divine weapon.
The battle was fierce. The [Daoless Heaven] spread like an infectious beast of darkness, reaching out its claws of shadow to the surroundings and launching a barrage of attacks down at Xuan Ji. On the other hand, the 30 Heavenly Daos divine weapons were also breaking the [Daoless Heaven] away as they tried to attack Zhong Yue who was in the shadows.
After a long time, Zhong Yue locked his brows deeply. His attacks couldn’t break through the defenses of the 30 Heavenly Daos divine weapons.
But Xuan Ji was also hesitating. His attacks also couldn’t break through Zhong Yue’s [Daoless Heaven]. The two had come to a stalemate.
Even after a prolonged period of battle, the outcome still remained undecided.
All of a sudden, they dispersed their Six Paths Reincarnation and disappeared, returning back to the real world.
In the Heaven Breaching Fortress, space rippled vehemently for a few moments and returned to normal when Zhong Yue and Xuan Ji reappeared in the real world.
They looked an eye at each other and said together, “We’ll continue this fight another day!”
Zhong Yue nodded and so did Xuan Ji. They both heaved a long breath and were incredibly cautious of one another.
The battle had made them both aware of each other’s extraordinary talents and intelligence. Xuan Ji was able to merge the monarch arts of 22 Fuxi monarchs into one and obtain heaven-defying power, whereas Zhong Yue’s two types of Seven Paths Reincarnations were never seen and even heard of before. This was especially true of the five Zhong Yues coming out from the Time Secret Realm and working together in the battle!
Even when Zhong Yue was still unable to cultivate the complete Seven Paths Reincarnation now, sometime in the future, once he’s succeeded, there would be a sixth Zhong Yue that could be brought back from the future. This alone could boost his prowess by six times!
As for the [Daoless Heaven] and 30 Heavenly Daos divine weapons, those weren’t their skills and were unbreakable by them for now.
“The next time, I will be able to defeat you, King Yi.” Xuan Ji bowed politely. He cast out the Tian Xuan Chariot and smiled, “King Yi, we will meet and battle again very soon!”
Zhong Yue replied solemnly, “I’ll be waiting!”
Xuan Ji cast the Tian Xuan Chariot and left the Heaven Breaching Fortress.
Zhong Yue looked around and was startled to notice that Feng Xiaozhong was gone. And suddenly, a wave of terrifyingly strong power burst out from the Tian Xuan Chariot and pulled Xuan Ji along into a blackhole!
In the Heaven Breaching Fortress, the experts exclaimed in shock. In the next second, Tian Xuan Chariot had rammed out of the blackhole and bolted out quickly at a speed times faster than before.
Behind the chariot, a white light followed closely at its back and the two disappeared in the experts’ vicinity!
