Chapter 459 - Earthly Force Field of Nine Revolving Inner Core
Chapter 459 - Earthly Force Field of Nine Revolving Inner Core
Only an instant had passed between the time Zhong Yue made his first move and when Kua Fuding entered the fray. And yet, in such a short while, more than nine Qi Practitioners had been killed!
Chi Yue’er and Chi Yun’er couldn’t even stop their laughter in time.
Their hearts thumped, and their pupils dilated. But before they could realize the severity of their situation, nine of their followers were killed!
Kua Fuding’s punch crashed down like a mountain, sending everyone around him flying away radially.
The fist grew bigger, stronger, and harder. And the friction against the air even set his hand on fire.
It was the first time Zhong Yue saw such power from the mortal body - even the Martial Masters of the Zhong Li Celestial Race weren’t capable of something like this. One would need to at least be in the Martial Heavenly Master stage to pull off a feat like this!
Zhong Yue’s body plummeted down to the ground, and Kua Fuding raised his knee up and attacked Zhong Yue from below.
Zhong Yue switched to his three-legged Golden Crow form and streaked across the air like a blazing comet toward the ground while avoiding Kua Fuding’s attacks. Suddenly, at the corner of his eyes, he saw a phoenix lady take aim at him with her soul weapon.
Zhong Yue raised the Golden Peng Sword, he twisted his waist and turned his body around while swinging his hand down with great force, slashing the soul weapon into halves.
The phoenix lady’s movements came to a halt as a narrow line of blood appeared across the top of her head down through her groin. Her body then split into halves that both fell to the ground away from each other.
By now, Chi Yun’er and Chi Yue’er had stopped laughing after processing what had happened. Their eyes were like saucers as they looked at Zhong Yue, but they weren’t useless princesses after all. They quickly recollected their thoughts and visualized two winged white tigers, mounting them and lunging toward Zhong Yue.
Zheng—— Zheng——
Two divine weapons then flew out from the back of the two princesses. Chi Yue’er’s divine weapon was a golden ring which grew into an over-ten-feet long moon-like weapon with golden linings.
Meanwhile, Chi Yue’er grabbed on an exquisite willow tree. She lashed the willow tree like a whip and its leaves shot out like jade swords!
“Big!”
Zhong Yue shouted and swung the golden sword, and it turned to over 1000 feet long, and he slashed horizontally across the floor.
Then, blood shot up to the sky and rained down to the ground, with severed limbs flying in mid-air and ravaged bodies laying strewn across the ground.
Some of the Qi Practitioners were just in their [Atman Body as One] state but were killed the next second. While there were a few who reacted quickly enough to visualize the defensive skills, shields and walls were raised before them but their efforts were still laid in vain. The Golden Peng Sword still slashed through their skills as if they were paper, killing those in covers!
There were also a few who leaped into the sky, at whom Zhong Yue shot his hair out, turning them sieves.
Suddenly, Kua Fuding punched the ground, causing the earth to shudder audibly.
Dang——
The Golden Peng Sword slashed his arm, and sparks of fire burst out from the clash, but Kua Fuding’s arm repelled the sword!
What a physique…
Zhong Yue’s hand was numb, and his heart skipped a beat - it was unbelievable. The Golden Peng Sword was not an ordinary divine weapon, yet, it was blocked by Kua Fuding with just a bare arm?
Zhong Yue recalled the moment where they clashed, noticing that there were totem patterns emerging out from Kua Fuding’s arm, weaving into a greenish-copper arm guard. It was that arm guard that had blocked the strike and stopped the sword; undoubtedly, it was a divine weapon as well.
However, the arm guard divine weapon has fused with Kua Fuding’s body, hiding beneath his ski and only emerging when he was taking strikes. This was only achievable with an extraordinary cultivation technique, something that Zhong Yue was extremely curious about.
The divine weapon had fused with the mortal body, any incoming strikes from any direction would be rendered useless as the divine weapon could emerge from any part of his body. What a marvelous cultivation technique! How does one even think about it?
But he didn’t have the luxury to think about this. The two white tiger beasts arrived in front of him, Chi Yun’er slashed the willow tree at him with the willow leaves swarming over from all directions. Her attacks were ferocious and quick. Not even the naked eye could catch up the flows of the willow leaves!
On the other white tiger, Chi Yue’er released a fierce cry, turning into her Avatar and clenching her hands on the Golden Ringed Silver Moon. Rays similar to the moonlight lit up the surroundings, and silver rays shot out like a rainstorm at Zhong Yue!
Zhong Yue’s face turned solemn, and he shouted loudly, “Ying Nu, Husan Weng, the others are yours to take care of!”
Ying Nu and Husan Weng nodded and braced themselves as they rushed toward the Qi Practitioners. Ying Nu was still an Inner Core Qi Practitioner, and while Husan Weng was strong, he could only handle two Qi Practitioners at a time and no more than that.
Even when most of the Qi Practitioners were butchered by Zhong Yue and the six or seven Qi Practitioners who survived were also suffering different levels of injuries, Ying Nu and Husan Weng still weren’t fully capable of handling them all.
Zhong Yue’s face was solemn, he joined his hands together and formed a circle with his arms. The 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】 then emerged in the circle he formed and in the drop of a hat, it burst out and secured Zhong Yue’s perimeter. As the marvelous 【Tai Chi Art】 enlarged, the willow leaves that entered the 【Tai Chi Art】’s coverage were all stunned, and even the silver rays were stopped from moving at all.
【Celestial Demon Yi】!
A stream of blood trickled out of Zhong Yue’s mouth; Chi Yue’er and Chi Yun’er were too strong for him now. They weren’t any weaker than the demon expert, Yan Zhen, that he had encountered before. In addition to that, Zhong Yue didn’t have his full prowess at this point in time, it was hard for him to fend off the attacks without suffering any injuries.
Kua Fuding then walked over, and an inner core flew out of his mouth, blasting golden rays at the 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】!
Krong, krong, krong——
Zhong Yue spurted out a mouthful of a blood as the 【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】 was shattered by the strikes, and he was sent flying back.
While in mid-air, light wheels emerged behind him, and five divine herbs were released out from the Yuan Shen secret realms as soon as he touched down on the ground. He shouted, “Go help Husan Weng, you might say he betrayed you all, but you were friends before!”
Cusia, Stonecrop, Black Nightshade and the others then rushed out shouting, “That’s right, we Six Gentlemen of Returning Ruins come and go as a team. Although Husan Weng is a brat, he is still one of us!”
“Stonecrop, the legs!” Cusia shouted.
Stonecrop then drilled into the ground and popped out beneath a Qi Practitioner, it then curled around the Qi Practitioner’s legs and the other divine herbs then lunged over and struck at them. Black Nightshade splashed poison at the Qi Practitioner while the other divine herbs punched and kicked the Qi Practitioner to death.
…
On the other side of the battlefield, Kua Fuding cast his inner core and rammed down at Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue quickly raised the golden sword and thrust over, but before the sword could pierce the inner core, the inner core stopped. The inner core stopped in mid-air, billowing totem patterns rushed out from within the golden ball and formed a dome around the battlefield, locking Zhong Yue inside.
Zhong Yue glanced around and his heart sank, the inner core had locked a field of over a thousand miles, the sky was covered by the totem patterns and the air felt as heavy as the earth, affecting his movements.
Pressures then came from all domains, suppressing his mortal body, Yuan Shen, arcane energy and even his psyche!
Kua Fuding’s Nine Revolving Inner Core — the Earthly Force Field!
This was the natural endowment that came from the Nine Revolving Inner Core. When an inner core had experienced nine rebirths, an inner core force field would emerge. While standing in the inner core force field, the inner core master would be like a god in his own realm, greatly suppressing his opponent and amend some of the natural principles in the force field!
While battling, no matter who it was, being suppressed by the opponent’s force field would place the cultivator in a bad position and it could ultimately lead to death!
When Zhong Yue was in the Ancestral Star, he never met any Qi Practitioners who had the inner core force field as no one had ever cultivated the Nine Revolving Inner Core, not even Imminent Deity magnates. Thus, he was unaware about it and was struck badly by Kua Fuding.
Kua Fuding’s inner core carried the properties of the earth totem patterns. The Kua Fu Celestial Race regards the earth as their mother nature, they listen to the changes of earth and they feel the presence of it. Most of their cultivation techniques, skills and weapons were based on the earth totem patterns and thus, his inner core force field was the Earthly Force Field.
If one were trapped within the force field, they would experience an extremely heavy suppression of their skills and strength. Only the earth totem patterns could be used. And so considering such, who would be better at this than the Kua Fu Celestial Race?
“Princesses, leave now!”
Kua Fuding rushed forward and he shouted, “So long he is in my Earthly Force Field, he will be dead for sure!”
Just as Kua Fuding was going to enter his own force field, Zhong Yue who was in the middle of the force field suddenly moved. A hundred banners flew out from his Yuan Shen secret realms and dispersed out in all directions, shooting into the ground around him and forming an array formation.
“The demon race’s Xuan Yin Hundred Banner Array Formation?” Kua Fuding’s face changed drastically, and he shouted, “A demon?”
The 108 banners fluttered violently even without the presence of wind, while Zhong Yue’s hairs were also floating in the air as he rapidly made various hand seals. As soon as he made the last hand seal, a wave of demon totem patterns burst out within his body and flowed into the banners.
Krong!!
An explosion burst out from the middle of the force field, and the Earthly Force Field was forcibly crushed opened. It turned back into an inner core with cracks all around it while it was also partially polluted by the demon Qi!
Kua Fuding could feel his heart aching in pain, he quickly recalled the inner core and banished the demon Qi in it. Although the Nine Revolving Inner Core Earthly Force Field was strong, Zhong Yue’s Xuan Yin Hundred Banner Array Formation was stronger. After all, the demon and celestial were opposing elements and Kua Fuding’s inner core was still unable to compete with a slaughtering array formed by a set of demon divine weapons.
“Chi Xue, how dare you collude with the demons!”, Chi Yue’er and Chi Yun’er quickly rushed over, “No wonder even the empress dares not leave the empire to your hands!”
Nine Revolving Inner Core Earthly Force Field? The inner core refined after nine revolutions to the extreme state is strong indeed!
Zhong Yue watched as the two princesses rushed at him, he raised his hands and the banners were kept back in his Yuan Shen secret realms. He didn’t have full control over the Xuan Yin Banners and it was not as adept as he was at wielding the Golden Feathery Peng Sword. It was true that they were strong, but in this case, they weren’t of great help in killing enemies.
“Really? Sword Qi? You two are way too weak to even be qualified to compete with me in Sword Qi!”
Zhong Yue moved, casting out the 【Great Boundless Sword Qi】, and in just seconds, thousands of rays of Sword Qi transformed between sword and shield, deftly alternating between offense and defense to block every one of Chi Yue’er’s and Chi Yun’er’s attacks.
His 【Great Boundless Sword Qi】 was at level beyond fixed forms, so strong that although Chi Yue’er and Chi Yun’er were a cultivation level higher than him, they still couldn’t inflict any damage on him.
The two girls then leaped down from the white tigers, releasing the two beasts to battle with him as well.
But right when the white tigers have pounced at him, they were minced away by the countless sword rays.
Soon, Zhong Yue’s Sword Qi grew stronger, he went from parrying the attacks to fighting back and fully suppressing the ladies on the ground.
His cultivation base was rocketing at an unimaginable speed that even the two princesses have never ever heard of.
But their only hep, Kua Fuding was still distressed by the condition of his inner core, he was trying all his might in getting rid of the demon Qi in his inner core so that it would not be damaged. While they were strenuously parrying Zhong Yue’s attacks.
Is he really an Inner Core Qi Practitioner…, the two ladies were whining in their hearts.With every attack they have parried, they could feel a slight surge of electric flowing into their hands, numbing their arms.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue’s aura burst out and suffused the air, he has finally came back in the level of Heavenly Dharma.
“This feels so great! Coming back to the Heavenly Dharma level!”
Zhong Yue laughed out loud, he shot up into the sky and said, “Finally, I can use all my prowess now!”
A divine drum appeared behind him and it created a loud thrum. The sound blast alone has struck Chi Yue’er and Chi Yun’er into flying and trickled blood out their mouths. Zhong Yue took a step and reached to the front of Chi Yue’er, he thrust his sword down and Chi Yue’er quickly blocked it with her Golden Lining Silver Moon. But the impact force has still struck on her body and shot her down into the soil. She rolled on the ground for a few rounds, and just as she struggled to get up, her bones could be heard cracking in her body!
“DIE!”
Zhong Yue appeared in front of Chi Yue’er again like a specter, he clenched the sword upended with two hands and thrust it down at the princess.
Abruptly, his heart tensed up in alertness and he immediately leaped back in just the split of a second. While billowing godly aura emanated from Chi Yue’er’s forehead and pummeled onto him.
“Western Mother Empress’s Amnesty Decree?!”
