Chapter 853 - 848: What the Hell is This!
Beiming Jihu’s face changed drastically.
This strike, heavy as a mountain, reminded him of the helplessness he felt when learning swordsmanship from his father as a child.
Especially now, when Beiming Jihu’s injuries hadn’t healed, and his strength and spiritual power had not yet recovered!
As the strike bore down, Beiming Jihu could only raise the Black Obsidian to deflect.
Clang——
A resonant sound echoed, and the hard rock under Beiming Jihu’s feet cracked and shattered!
Beiming Jihu’s sturdy body was forcibly lowered by three feet, as the ground beneath him was pressed into a three-foot depression, with cracks like a spider web.
The enormous pressure made Beiming Jihu’s vision falter into darkness.
Fortunately, a pulling force came from behind; it was Dongbo Chengzhi weaving his sword in a circle, using the pulling force to help Beiming Jihu retreat.
Beiming Jihu’s figure suddenly crossed dozens of meters, retreating to Dongbo Chengzhi’s side, supported by the latter.
With a clang, the massive glaive of Great Dark Heaven struck the ground, and where its tip pointed, a long crack spread several dozen meters, reaching Beiming Jihu’s feet.
"Lord Beiming Jihu!" a group of people exclaimed in shock.
From Beiming Jihu’s forehead to his chin, there was a long line of blood! Droplets trickled down from his chin.
"I’m fine; I’m not dead yet."
Beiming Jihu croaked, "Truly worthy of an ancestor’s sword skill, capable of merging the Mystical Arts of ’Divine Turtle Suppressing Mountains’ and ’Soaring Snake Opening Abyss’ into one strike! If the Sword Force were three times stronger, I would have been split in two."
Emperor Yan Beiming Guicang spoke leisurely, "Since you know you’re no match, don’t resist pointlessly. In view of you being my outstanding descendant, I will give you the honor of a Celestial Demon King in the Demon Land."
"Though you’ve stolen the ancestor’s sword skill, you’re not the ancestor Duke Guicang; you’re Emperor Yan and also Great Dark Heaven."
Beiming Jihu flatly rejected, and immediately raised the renowned blade Black Obsidian in his hand:
"Be careful, everyone; that glaive in Emperor Yan’s hand is sharper and harder than any Divine Weapon I’ve ever seen. My Black Obsidian, forged from Profound Iron beneath Black Tortoise Mountain Rock, has always been indestructible, but after just one clash with the glaive, it became unusable."
Beiming Jihu flicked the blade.
With a snap, Black Obsidian broke in half, a segment falling to the ground.
"Although my failure to maintain spiritual power to fully unleash Black Obsidian’s potential contributed, it’s a fact that Black Obsidian’s quality cannot withstand the glaive. Therefore, avoid direct clashes of weapons as much as possible."
Flame Blade Princess felt a profound sense of despair upon hearing this: "Weapons can’t clash? That means no sword skills for deflecting or blocking can be used, and the opponent is Emperor Yan, possessing the sword skills of the ancestral Duke Guicang under the Black Tortoise Oath... How do we fight?"
Flame Blade Princess’s words reflected the thoughts of most Ghost Warriors.
Relying on the glaive, Emperor Yan shattered Beiming Jihu’s weapon with one strike. Others dared not deflect or block, did it mean to watch Emperor Yan rampage through the field unopposed?
"I’ll go."
White Bai Pu already knew when seeing that black glaive, only he present could contend with Emperor Yan.
Because the black glaive is a weapon refined from "the hardest substance in the Underworld," ranked as top in hardness and sharpness in the Awakened World.
In such a powerful force-wielder’s hands, paired with a ten-meter giant body, any weapon that comes into contact with it would suffer a drastic drop in Durability, or even break directly.
Only King-level Purple Weapon can contend with it.
"Gangxin..." Dongbo Chengzhi was somewhat worried.
"Dongbo, take a short rest on the sidelines. We will need your power when the Qing Emperor form is activated later." Bai Pu advised.
Dongbo Chengzhi nodded heavily.
He had yet to use the ancestor’s weapon — White Dragon Fang, saving it for the Qing Emperor.
However, Dongbo Chengzhi hesitated somewhat: "Ancestor Dongbo Yue People’s Sword Dao Cultivation surpasses mine and has the shell of Great Dark Heaven as its body. My current consumption of spiritual power is severe, I’m afraid..."
"Rest assured, I understand." Bai Pu gave Dongbo Chengzhi a reassuring look, "I will ensure I inflict enough high damage on the body controlled by Emperor Yan’s Great Dark Heaven! We must lower Qing Emperor’s advantage as much as we can. Only then can our reserved move have a miraculous effect."
From the Crystal Throne, Land of Crystals, to Black Heaven Palace, the strong on the Expedition Team had fought one battle after another, heavily depleting both stamina and energy.
Now, in Black Heaven Palace, they faced the three Great Demon Emperors in a cycle of battles.
By this point, Bai Pu had exhausted over half of his energy.
The other three faction leaders were not better off, particularly Beiming Jihu, who had expended even more.
So, no more delays!
Emperor Yan held animosity against White Bai Pu: "Gangxin, don’t think having a Divine Weapon is enough to oppose me! A Divine Weapon depends on the wielder; your Power, skill, and Mental Realm are far inferior to mine!"
"Is that so? Then let’s compare our strength properly."
With a crackling sound, Bai Pu adjusted the Doomsday Spear into a long-handled form and simultaneously summoned the Winged Tooth Beast King Da Fei.
Celestial Human Attribute Points were added to Power! Man and Horse as One activated! Genetic Fragment Fusion! Pure Blood Protection infusion! And gulped down a [Alchemist Potions: Power of the Giant Dragon] produced by Qin!
Bai Pu’s Power attribute instantly surged to 482 points.
The immense strength swelled his arm muscles, bulging veins emerging on his skin!
Including the 45-point increase from [Tyrant’s Fury], as well as the increased power judgment from dual-hand wielding one weapon [Firm Wrist], and the Advanced Fighting Level 4 Special Effect, Bai Pu’s offensive power judgment value now exceeded 500 points.
Crack!
The Doomsday Spear clashed with the black glaive; the first hit’s tremor darkened the vision of Ghost Warriors slightly lacking in strength, churning their blood and energy!
The hard rocky ground under Bai Pu and Emperor Yan shattered as if it were crumbling pulp! The two-kilometer platform toppled with a roar.
Amidst the ruins, Bai Pu remained unmoved, like a true mountain. His passive power judgment value exceeded his offensive power judgment value by 100 points, now surpassing 600-point strength.
This translates to terrifying stability, nearly impossible to be unbalanced, repelled, or sent flying.
In contrast, even while controlling the body of Great Dark Heaven, Emperor Yan’s power barely exceeded 400 points, forced back three steps by Bai Pu’s sheer power difference, quivering all over.
Bai Pu’s Adaptive Evolution - Fluid Skeleton mitigated half of the recoil damage, striding forward aggressively, launching strike after strike toward Emperor Yan.
In the field, Bai Pu held the upper hand, leaving many Oath Warriors and Awakened ones astonished.
"What a jaw-dropper!"
Rein muttered, "Under 9.2 difficulty, the Native attributes have all surged by 50%... yet Gangxin is facing a King-level opponent, managing to suppress in attributes?!"
