Chapter 650 - The Strong Lives, The Weak Dies

Battle cries echoed throughout the bridge; Qi Practitioners were fiercely locked in battle just to get onto the bridge while the Reverse Emperor shouted, “Zhong Yue! You won against me because you had every element for yourself! Now, let’s see how are you supposed to win me without the power of the sun or the Metamagnet Divine Rays!”

And he was right; Zhong Yue only managed to triumph over him because he had the environmental advantage; the sun light and metamagnet divine rays drawn towards them by the solar storms played a very big part in him defeating the Reverse Emperor.

Here, with the absence of these advantages, Zhong Yue had no other options left, and all he could do was go head on against the Reverse Emperor, which gave Reverse Emperor the confidence to challenge Zhong Yue right now!

The strength of the Reverse Emperor was ridiculous; he was, after all, an ancient demon king who, even after he reborn with limited strength, was still among the best of the best in terms of power!

“Jin’er, clear us a path!”

Zhong Yue ordered Qiu Jin’er and she quickly activated her true spirit, forming two dragons under her leg as she charged towards the foes in front of her.

With his back facing Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai, Zhong Yue was now met with the Reverse Emperor’s blood axe; as he swung his blood axe, a blood red demonic eye emerged and the energy of the axe shot out from the eye!

It was none other than the【Eye of Burying Emperor】!

The white haired young man reached for his back against this attack, and he pulled his saber out of its sheath, exposing the eye-catching Solar Divine Saber. A solar storm then erupted, launching powerful waves of energy toward the【Eye of Burying Emperor】!

The two exchanged positions, and both let out a pained groan; the heart of the Reverse Emperor thumped at the immense power he felt coming from Zhong Yue’s attack; it was so much more powerful than the last time they met!

How is this possible? How did his power increase so sharply?

Things did not end just like that; as they dashed past each other, Zhong Yue’s white hair grew rapidly before they suddenly turning into incredibly sharp as it shot towards the back of Reverse Emperor. Zhong Yue also swung his Solar Divine Saber towards the back of Reverse Emperor. As he swung his saber, the saber turned into a saber sheath and he quickly launched【Moon Tide】with lightning speed!

Facing against Zhong Yue’s attack, Reverse Emperor reached out his hand and a bloodied banner appeared; he waved the banner towards his back, fending off the white hairs. He waved the banner again, unleashing the remnants of countless godly corpses. These corpses had ugly expressions on their faces as they roared angrily. Their never ending hunger for Yuan Shen, life essence, flesh and psyche felt like they were going to devour every Qi Practitioners around them.

Zhong Yue turned around, swung his saber in a crescent and cut the bloodied banner of Reverse Emperor apart effortlessly.

Zhe—

Blood ocean gushed out from the destroyed banner and the countless godly corpses became even more violent as they all stood up from the ocean.

What!?

The expression of Reverse Emperor clearly showed his disbelief! He hopped backwards, avoiding Zhong Yue and landing on the blood ocean before running away, This brat has become so strong in just a few days! I… I might not… I might not be able to beat him!

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, reacted quickly and chased after the Reverse Emperor. In no time, he intercepted Reverse Emperor and shouted, “Senior martial sister, Brother Bai, follow me! Jin’er, cover our back!”

Though confused by Zhong Yue’s request, Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai began to execute it regardless; they followed behind Zhong Yue closely while Qiu Jin’er, who was standing on at the front, waited for them to pass so that she could cover them.

“Reverse Emperor! Only the bravest among all will win the battle in a narrow path!”

The six-eye Star Toad appeared behind Zhong Yue and it let out a roar that trembled the blood ocean, halted and completed shattered the blood ocean that was about to turn back into the bloodied banner.

“Will you survive when we fight our way to the other end of this bridge?”

Zhong Yue moved swiftly towards his destination right away after he shouted at Reverse Emperor. With the two sabers in his hands, Zhong Yue unleashed a barrage of attacks towards the front; with each step, he swung his saber once, and these attacks were all aimed towards the Reverse Emperor’s head!

Meanwhile, the Reverse Emperor struggled to fend off the attack of Zhong Yue with his blood axe. At the same time, another head grew out from his back, and four arms emerged from his armpits. At the back of him were countless Qi Practitioners charging towards the end of the bridge. These Qi Practitioners were fighting each other as well; they summoned and activated various divine weapons and they were all engaged in a dog fight.

The bridge was a narrow bridge, a single bridge that led towards the other end and even though it had four paths on it, only four Qi Practitioners could step onto the bridge. Reverse Emperor backed off suddenly, and he immediately charged towards the Qi Practitioners. But he too, was targeted by all of them.

And this was what Zhong Yue meant; there was no escape when fighting on a narrow path; one will either triumph over the body of his foe and let his foe triumph over his body!

Now, with Zhong Yue forced very close to him and the other Qi Practitioners attacking him, the pressure Reverse Emperor was facing could be imagined!

There were many experts among the Qi Practitioners on the bridge. They were all Qi Practitioners with power exceeding demigods, and their strengths were not weaker than Zhong Yue’s and the others’. Thus, the pressure Reverse Emperor faced was tremendous.

In just a short time, Reverse Emperor began suffering heavy injuries, and he suddenly shouted, “You want me dead? Then you will have to go through the hard way!”

Reverse Emperor suddenly evaded a Qi Practitioner, swapped place with him and pushed this Qi Practitioner to the space between Zhong Yue and himself.

The Qi Practitioner was caught off guard and when he realized what happened, the attack of Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor had already gotten dangerously close to his skull! However, this Qi Practitioner was not someone to be messed with; he fended off the attack of Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor and in a blink of an eye, the head of the Qi Practitioner fell onto the ground as the saber and axe beheaded him.

Reverse Emperor laughed happily, grabbed the body, hurled it into his blood ocean and in an instant, his injuries healed and the blood ocean turned back into the bloodied banner.

This Qi Practitioner that was killed by both Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor was so strong that he was almost equally strong than the duo but when he was attacked by the duo, he was killed on the spot.

Though almost as strong as the duo, the slightest differences in his power and their’s had cost him his life.

As rivals, Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor understood each other deeply; before killing that Qi Practitioner, they teamed up without saying a word and caught that Qi Practitioner off guard.

Suddenly, a clear noise sounded out, stunning both Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor and they quickly took out their token. Upon taking a look at their toten, Reverse Emperor cursed silently while Zhong Yue became very happy for a star appeared on his own token.

This meant that a Qi Practitioner has died on the hands of Zhong Yue.

This might be a shortcut for me…

Zhong Yue laughed happily, rained down attacks onto Reverse Emperor, forcing him to back off yet, leaving some room for him.

After his wounds healed, Reverse Emperor shouted again, “Human, you and I, if we team up, we will be unstoppable so why are we fighting each other like that?”

His words however, fell onto deaf ears as Zhong Yue continued his attacks, leaving the Reverse Emperor no choice but to hurled another Qi Practitioner in between Zhong Yue and himself.

Pu zhe-

As the sabers and axe were swung, another head flew into the air and onto the ground before it was crushed by the black hole!

Again, Zhong Yue was happy while the Reverse Emperor cursed; another Qi Practitioner had lost his life to Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor thought, This brat’s attack speed is way too fast. Whatever I do now will never be able to benefit me!

But he couldn\'t do anything about this. He was indeed weaker than Zhong Yue, although it was still hard for Zhong Yue to completely obliterate him, Zhong Yue was much faster in every aspect, making it almost impossible for Reverse Emperor to steal a kill from Zhong Yue.

Fortunately for him, Zhong Yue always left some space for Reverse Emperor so that he could absorb the power of the fallen Qi Practitioners to treat his wounds and have a quick rest.

It was not that the Reverse Emperor did not think of running away, but after a few attempts, Zhong Yue was still behind him like his shadow, and this prompted the Reverse Emperor to give up.

This time, unlike a duel to the death back then, they were sort of working together as the Reverse Emperor kept hurling Qi Practitioners in between them. There were many that were not inferior to them among the fallen Qi Practitioners but had only lost their lives when Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor cooperated!

On the other hand, Qiu Jin’er paid full attention to cover Zhong Yue’s back. She had awoken her true spirit, bestowing her with great power especially in regards to defense. As long as she did not make any mistakes, she would be able to defend everyone.

As they kept charging towards the front, Zhong Yue and Reverse Emperor had already cut down almost two hundred Qi Practitioners.

However, unlike Zhong Yue, who was happy and satisfied, Reverse Emperor as barely any of the kills were credited to him.

There were only two stars on his token, but the number of stars on the token Zhong Yue had 204.

If we reached the end, this little brat probably already has enough to enter the top ten already! The Reverse Emperor thought.

Zhong Yue too, thought, Perhaps I am already qualified to be the top ten even without entering the Ancient Land of the God Graves. What a shame, I inevitably missed out on a few… This only means that I am still not strong enough…

If Reverse Emperor got to know this, he might be extremely furious that he would probably cough out blood.

The two charged around the bridge happily and when Reverse Emperor hurled another Qi Practitioner in, that young Qi Practitioner said with a cold and calm tone, “You are going to team up against me? Do you know anything about【Sacrificial Prayers to Heaven】?”

Right away, the Six Path Wheel lit up and began spinning while Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor was seized by the Six Path Wheel behind the head of this young Qi Practitioner. This did not stop after the duo was seized; the others around the bridge including Jun Sixie and Bai Canghai were all captured by this young Qi Practitioner.

Qiu Jin’er too, was captured after she put up some resistance in futility.

The many Qi Practitioners struggled to escape and suddenly, the young Qi Practitioner started praying and upon hearing the prayers, a weaker Qi Practitioner suddenly sat down and prayed towards the young Qi Practitioner.

With that, the power of the young Qi Practitioner surged slightly and through this, more and more fell under his control. The power of the young Qi Practitioner began to increase quickly.

However, thanks to their unique innate spirit bodies, Qiu Jin’er, Jun Sixie, and Bai Canghai escaped the fate of being brainwashed.

But it was only a matter of time if this young Qi Practitioner was not stopped.

An ultimate art of the Six Path Reincarnation?

Zhong Yue had a shock as the prayers grew louder and clearer, trembling his soul and Yuan Shen. But this was not what gave him the greatest shock; what shook him the most was this【Sacrificial Prayers to Heaven】that he saw!

“No, not an art but a technique, a technique of the Six Path Reincarnation Art!” Xin Huo said out of nowhere.

This discovery was incredibly shocking; there were little to no techniques or arts related to the Six Path Reincarnation, and Zhong Yue hadn’t run into one even after entering this Prison Realm. But he actually came across one now!

“Crush him together!”

Reverse Emperor shouted as he unbinded himself from the shackles; the blood axe lit up and the demonic eye appeared again while Zhong Yue swung his two sabers.

Together, they struck their weapons toward that young Qi Practitioner and they launched their best attack in sync at the same time!

“You have also cultivated the Six Path Wheel?”

The expression of that young Qi Practitioner stiffened up slightly upon seeing the same wheel behind Zhong Yue’s head, but this did not stop his prayers from being interrupted.

With that, the Qi Practitioner was staggered slightly and suddenly, he burrowed into the ground and emerged from the other side as he dodged Zhong Yue and the Reverse Emperor’s attacks.

The young Qi Practitioner took a close look at Zhong Yue’s Six Path Wheel and he mocked happily before vanishing into thin air, “Hahahaha, you did not get the true meaning of reincarnation even after achieving this. You’ve only merely touched the surface.”
