“You won’t get the chance.”
A few moments later, the Tianfu Divine Lord’s brow relaxed and he regained his composure.
“Do you know why I chose tonight to strike? It’s not merely because the nights are quieter, making it easier to strike. And really, there’s no harm in telling you…”
The Tianfu Divine Lord smiled as he raised his right hand and pointed a finger straight up.
Whoosh!
Dark clouds had originally covered the skies of the estate, but as the Tianfu Divine Lord extended his finger, a fierce gale stirred up. The dark clouds immediately scattered like the receding tide.
Wang Chong almost instinctively looked up at the sky. At first glance, Wang Chong didn’t see anything in the darkness, but as if in response to the Tianfu Divine Lord’s finger, gleaming lights began to emerge. One, two, three, four… six dazzling stars began to resonate with the Tianfu Divine Lord, shining right over his head.
The Six Stars of the Southern Dipper!
Wang Chong’s pupils constricted as he understood.
“Tonight, the Southern Dipper is right overhead, and this is also the night when the Tianfu Star is in charge. In front of me, you don’t have the slightest hope!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord looked in amusement at the distant Wang Chong.
“Enough! Telling you so much is already an extraordinary favor. It’s time for this operation to end. You’ve been struck by eleven of my Southern Dipper Star Awls, and you don’t have the Origin Immortal Sword. No matter how much energy you’ve built up for a counterattack, in your condition, you can take two more of my palms at most before your Subtle realm foundation is shattered and you fall to the Saint Martial realm.
“At that moment, merely these Stellar Envoys serving this god will be enough to kill you.”
A callous light flashed in the Tianfu Divine Lord’s eyes.
Boom!
The Tianfu Divine Lord vanished in a flash of light, and then appeared to the left and back of Wang Chong, his palm striking once more.
The immense might of this palm, infused with extreme Yin energy, heavily injured Wang Chong as it sent him flying.
In a heaven-shaking explosion, Wang Chong struck the ground, sending dust soaring several dozen meters into the air.
“Too fast!”
Even though he knew that he was going to be attacked, he still couldn’t stop it.
Wang Chong half-kneeled on the ground, trying his best to suppress his injuries. Despite this, he felt a sweetness on his tongue, and a violet-black trickle of blood managed to escape his lips.
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s palms were extremely vicious. Each strike seemed capable of shattering his organs, and at the same time, his connection to the higher dimension was weakened.
If this goes on, I’m really going to die to him! Wang Chong admitted to himself.
He had been trying to find the Tianfu Divine Lord’s weakness this entire time, but the hopes were slim. He would probably break before that time.
“The last palm!”
In a gust of wind, the Tianfu Divine Lord reemerged.
His eyes had turned into cold and dangerous beads of ice.
Bang!
Moments after speaking, the Tianfu Divine Lord attacked again, but this time, he did not use any unfathomable art and just thrust his palm at Wang Chong.
Wang Chong was ready, and the moment the Tianfu Divine Lord vanished, he lunged forward and unleashed a flood of energy.
The blazing flames of golden Subtle realm energy illuminated the night sky as brightly as day, but Wang Chong had underestimated the power of the Tianfu Divine Lord’s palm.
“Ah!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s palm struck his chest almost immediately, and Wang Chong screamed as he was sent hurtling through the air.
At the moment the palm struck, Wang Chong felt as if there was a flood of sharp blades in the Tianfu Divine Lord’s palm, all of them surging into his body.
The Stellar Energy of a Subtle realm expert was far sturdier than that of other experts, but the consecutive palms of the Tianfu Divine Lord had succeeded in scattering apart the energy Wang Chong had been storing up, obliterating his final card before hurtling straight for his dantian and mind.
As his back hit the ground, Wang Chong’s heart sank. The gap in strength was simply too great. After stubbornly resisting for so long, he had only staved off the inevitable defeat.
“Hmph, as I said, with these palm strikes of mine, you’ll lose any ability to resist. Your meridians are heavily injured and your Stellar Energy scattered, your martial foundation in disarray. You no longer have the right to resist this god!”
In the howling winds, the Tianfu Divine Lord’s robe rustled as he reemerged in the air. He lightly descended to the ground and began to slowly walk over to Wang Chong.
His cold and domineering eyes were brimming with killing intent.
To the lofty gods, everything in the world, including the peerless martial arts, were insignificant ants. They only needed to desire it, and all these so-called experts would die like tiny ants.
There had never been any mortal faction, not even dynasties or countries, that could resist them. Mortals could not resist gods. But then Wang Chong, the Child of Destruction, had appeared.
His death had been ordered ever since the southwest!
But in the course of the several operations, not only had Wang Chong not been killed, he had only grown stronger and stronger, even managing to kill a few gods in the northwest. In the end, the High God of the Tianfu Star had been compelled to personally take care of this walking calamity.
Such a thing had never happened before and was scarcely imaginable.
But now, it no longer mattered how much trouble Wang Chong had stirred in the past or what great risks he had forced them to take.
In front of the High Gods, the Child of Destruction was still just an ant, still unable to save itself from the fate of death.
“Now, accept your fate! Once you’re dead, everyone who knows of our existence will be destroyed. Everything regarding us will be concealed just like it was in the past!”
A gale howled above the residence. The Tianfu Divine Lord coldly chuckled as he stopped in front of Wang Chong and pressed his palm down with deceptive speed.
Black smoke seethed off those white and slender fingers. This was Asura Stellar Energy, one of the most corrosive energies in the world. With this strike, Wang Chong’s body would crumble to dust and leave behind not even a single trace.
Buzz!
As Wang Chong stared at the descending palm, his eyes turned dim. The Tianfu Divine Lord’s previous palm strikes hadn’t merely sealed his Stellar Energy, they had also sealed all his acupuncture points.
Wang Chong couldn’t even move, and he was merely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by the Tianfu Divine Lord.
Chapter 1693 - The Unbelievable Result!
Chapter 1693: The Unbelievable Result!
How could this be? Am I really going to die here?
Wang Chong raised his head, his face deathly pale.
Not since he had stepped into the Subtle realm had he encountered an opponent like this. He had done all he could, but this Tianfu Divine Lord was far stronger than he had imagined. That palm was getting closer and closer, and Wang Chong was bereft of any method to resist.
At this moment…
Buzz!
With no warning at all, a voice boomed in Wang Chong’s mind.
“Special Event! A unique law energy has been discovered in user’s body!”
Before Wang Chong could react, his mind rumbled, and the long-dormant Stone of Destiny erupted with an unprecedented pull that instantly engulfed Wang Chong’s body. It began to devour the Tianfu Divine Lord’s Southern Dipper energy, inexorably pulling all of it into the Stone of Destiny.
“Congratulations to user! ‘Seed’ unlocking 1%, 2%…”
How could this be?!
Wang Chong was stunned, his
eyes flying open. The analysis on the ‘Seed’ had been finished long ago, but actually unlocking the seed required an astronomical one million points of Destiny Energy. For Wang Chong, this would normally take ages to accumulate. After all, the two major wars, the war of the southwest and the Battle of Talas, were both over.
Wang Chong had never imagined that while he had previously been worried about how to obtain this immense amount of Destiny Energy, he would make this sort of unexpected discovery.
This Tianfu Divine Lord’s power can be a substitute for Destiny Energy?!
Wang Chong’s mind was seething in shock.
With no time to think, whoosh! Wang Chong lunged away, as light as a leaf and as quick as a ghost, appearing several hundred feet away. At the same time, boom! The palm slammed down into Wang Chong’s former position, sending dust soaring into the air and leaving a pit four hundred feet deep.
Next to the pit stood a flabbergasted figure.
“He actually dodged my strike! How?”
The Tianfu Divine Lord stared at the empty pit and then the distant Wang Chong, shock in his eyes for the first time.
The eleven Southern Dipper Star Awls and his three palm strikes infused with Southern Dipper energy had all struck true. Logically speaking, the Child of Destruction’s dantian and Zifu point, the two largest sources of energy, should have been sealed, and he shouldn’t have even been able to move. How could he have dodged under these circumstances?
But Wang Chong had dodged.
Impossible! A puny human emerged from my three palms unharmed?!
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s mind was raging.
It wasn’t merely the Tianfu Divine Lord. The other men in black were astonished as well.
“The Divine Lord’s attack missed!”
Shock was written all across their faces, and the black-robed monk was also stricken with disbelief. He had followed the Divine Lord for an extremely long time and knew that his power was more than mortals could imagine. His existence itself was a myth.
Over the thousands of years, many individuals had appeared, some of them even stronger than the Child of Destruction, even traitors of the organization, but none of them had been able to move after being struck by the eleven Southern Dipper Star Awls and the Three God-Shattering Palms.
And certainly no one had been able to dodge one of the Divine Lord’s attacks in this situation!
Once the Divine Lord had a target, he would never let them escape. There were no exceptions.
Bang!
The Tianfu Divine Lord disappeared in a flash of light.
“There is no mortal in this world that I cannot kill!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s expression was ice-cold.
“Not good!”
As the Tianfu Divine Lord began to move, Wang Chong grimaced. Given how long this battle had gone on, Wang Chong would have been able to determine the fighting style and weakness of any other opponent.
But no matter how Wang Chong calculated and experimented, even when he pushed his Psychic Energy and Stellar Energy to their limits, he couldn’t avoid the attacks, let alone determine the fighting style.
Bang!
Wang Chong used the Greater Void Step to fade into the void while also trying his best to move to the right, but he still failed to dodge. Boom! The sky seemed to tear apart as Wang Chong suddenly emerged from the void seven meters from his original position. The Tianfu Divine Lord’s palm slammed into his chest, causing him to vomit blood as he hurtled through the air.
“Too powerful!”
Countless thoughts ran through his mind in the moment before he rammed into the earth and slid along the ground, leaving a furrow two meters long in his wake. This was terminated by a crash into a scholar tree some twenty meters in height, which caused the tree to explode in a shower of wooden chips.
Dust surged through the King of Foreign Lands Residence while the explosive shockwave tossed roof tiles into the air.
To prevent any mistakes, the Tianfu Divine Lord had put even more power into this attack.
“Die for me!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord reemerged seven meters above the ground, his eyes as sharp as swords as he stared at the place where Wang Chong had fallen. All of Wang Chong’s meridians should have been shattered with this blow, Southern Dipper energy seeping into all his cells and rendering him motionless.
The Southern Dipper Undercurrent!
This was one of the Tianfu Divine Lord’s strongest abilities, and no one in the last one thousand years had been able to resist this blow. The Tianfu Divine Lord would not use this lightly, and in using it on Wang Chong, he had made his rage plain to see.
Hwooo! Winds swept across a silent scene.
The Tianfu Divine Lord stared at the center of the explosion, where dust was still rising into the air. The other men in black were also watching expectantly.
However…
Cough, cough…
A light coughing could be heard, and a figure began to slowly get up from the dust. Although their features were obscured by the dust, one could see from the outlines that this was the ‘Child of Destruction’.
Whoooah!
The men in black cried out in shock and disbelief.
“This is impossible!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s body trembled as his eyes widened in disbelief.
A fourth palm!
This had been his fourth palm strike, and it had contained some of his true power, but Wang Chong appeared entirely unharmed. Not even stronger existences than Wang Chong could take a direct strike from his palm and get up so quickly, and he was even coughing.
That he could cough meant that his injuries weren’t serious!
“What is going on here?”
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s mind was shaken. For the first time, he could find no explanation for what was happening
Cough! “Tianfu Divine Lord, although I’ve never liked your Celestial God Organization, I have to admit that its strength can’t be underestimated. But, a Divine Lord like you… doesn’t seem to be that strong!”
Wang Chong’s body swayed as he slowly emerged from the dust.
His clothes were in tatters, revealing the skin beneath, and his body was covered in bloody wounds. But in comparison to his tattered body, Wang Chong’s eyes were shining bright.
To think that his energy can really be absorbed by the ‘Seed’, saving me so much Destiny Energy…!
Wang Chong’s injuries were bad, but he was finding it hard to suppress his excitement. Although he didn’t quite understand what was going on, he was certain that the Tianfu Divine Lord’s power was exactly what the seed required. The mysterious seed that the Origin Immortal Lord had left him was now 10% unlocked after absorbing that additional palm from the Tianfu Divine Lord. Wang Chong had never expected this.
In other words, Wang Chong had saved himself one hundred thousand points of Destiny Energy.
And this had only been from two attacks! Only a few seconds had passed. This method of ‘making money’ seemed a little too fast, and Wang Chong couldn’t help but want to take a few more!
“Seeking death!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s thought processes were much simpler. His eyes chilled and his anger exploded. Boom! The Tianfu Divine Lord vanished as he pushed his movement technique to the absolute limit.
Whoosh!
Four Tianfu Divine Lords appeared to his left, right, front, and back, their expressions identically cold and dreadful. Before Wang Chong could react, they all charged forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four fair and slender palms imbued with destructive energy struck four different locations on Wang Chong’s body. A strike from even an ordinary martial artist to one of these points could heavily injure or kill, much less one from a powerhouse like the Tianfu Divine Lord.
But the final result…
Rumble!
The earth trembled, the ground beneath Wang Chong cracking like a roasted turtle shell
and sinking eight or nine feet. Wang Chong’s hairband snapped apart, sending his hair into disarray, and his clothes were shredded, but the man himself was completely! Un! Harmed!
“!!!”
“This can’t be!”
The Tianfu Divine Lord’s eyes flew open as he let out a heaven-rending howl!
Chapter 1694 - Unlocking In the Midst of Danger!
Chapter 1694: Unlocking In the Midst of Danger!
The Tianfu Divine Lord could have explained the first few palms as him not putting in enough of his true strength, but the situation was entirely different now.
No one could directly take four of his palms as Wang Chong had, not even more formidable Subtle realm experts. What had taken place just now had upset his understanding of the world.
Hahaha, truly a case of wearing out one’s shoes searching high and low, only to come upon it by luck! The golden seed really can absorb their energy!
On the other side, Wang Chong was elated. Even though he still couldn’t avoid the shocks from the impacts of the palms, the Tianfu Divine Lord’s energy really was unlocking the seal on the golden seed.
“Seed unlocking 15%…… 20%…… 27%!”
The familiar voice of the Stone of Destiny was ringing out again and again. After four palms from the Tianfu Divine Lord, the unlocking of the golden seed had already reached 27%, the equivalent of more than two hundred thousand points of Destiny Energy. This was something Wang Chong had never even imagined possible before this.
But Wang Chong had also noticed a few special details.
It should have been that after taking four palms from the Tianfu Divine Lord, the golden seed’s unlocking should have reached 30%, but that’s not the case. It seems that the effectiveness of the energy decreases the more that’s absorbed, and it can’t go up forever, Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
“Hah, Tianfu Divine Lord, this can’t be all you’re capable of! The mighty Celestial God Organization whose members regard themselves as gods that mortals can do nothing about would probably become a big joke if this got out!”
