Chapter 646 - 366: Immortal Blood Descends to the Mortal World (Part 2)
A magnificent and grand celestial palace emerged in the skies above.
Wu’an Monarch’s eyelids twitched; even as a True Immortal, he found the sight of the celestial palace hard to behold—how could mere mortals have the ability to create such an ethereal spectacle?
Qin Yuesheng, with a single thought, summoned tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers from within the celestial palace. They flew out, treading on clouds, and arranged themselves in a grand formation in the sky.
Judging from this display, Qin Yuesheng appeared to embody more of the Immortal’s demeanor than Wu’an Monarch himself.
Qin Yuesheng ascended effortlessly to the skies, standing upon the celestial palace, surrounded by tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers.
Though Wu’an Monarch exuded an impressive aura, Qin Yuesheng was not intimidated in the slightest. Having only used three styles of the Seven Great Limits of Heaven and Earth, in terms of explosiveness, Qin Yuesheng was in no way inferior to this opponent.
"Just an Illusion Technique, a mere inferior trick; I, Monarch, do not regard it highly." Wu’an Monarch clasped his hands, and above his head, the grand dragon formation roared intensely, with myriad dragon phantoms howling out from within, all furiously charging towards the celestial palace’s location.
Those heavenly soldiers were not to be trifled with; upon seeing the approach of the divine dragons, they immediately launched an assault, wielding their weapons against the dragons, engaging in a fierce battle which was magnificent and resounding.
Fortunately, this battle was occurring in the heavens; otherwise, if it took place on the ground, thousands of miles of land would surely be affected, with earthquakes impacting lands tens of thousands of miles away.
Wu’an Monarch’s hands moved in sword gestures, violet light fluctuated, and in the blink of an eye, a violet crystal longsword appeared in his grasp.
This sword shimmered with starlight; tiny stars within the blade flickered brightly, while violet energy swirled like a vortex. A single glance could easily draw one in, making it difficult to resist.
This sword was extraordinary, its quality far exceeding Qin Yuesheng’s Divine Soldier, "Tower of All Beings."
Qin Yuesheng wore a solemn expression; this was his first time seeing a weapon surpassing his own in strength, making such a master a rare find in the world of Jiuzhou.
Had he not elevated the Seven Great Limits Saber Skill to the level of the Seven Great Limits Devouring Heaven and Earth, he might not have even had the opportunity to exchange blows with this opponent today.
Wu’an Monarch swung his sword, his entire being bristled with sharpness, exuding an imposing aura, as if he had transformed into a treasured sword, merging man and sword into one.
Swish!
In an instant, Wu’an Monarch moved.
With a light and ethereal stance, he wielded his sword, attacking Qin Yuesheng with a seemingly simple thrust.
Yet this thrust exerted far greater pressure on Qin Yuesheng than any enemy he had faced before.
An extraordinarily terrifying sword aura attacked, with a sword shadow radiating from Wu’an Monarch as its core.
Qin Yuesheng fully activated the Golden Bell Shield, his form rapidly expanded, intending to withstand the strike from Wu’an Monarch with this move.
On one side was the sword; on the other, the bell.
Undoubtedly, this was a duel between offense and defense.
Wu’an Monarch’s face remained calm, his hair flying as he stood, appearing truly like a True Immortal from the heavens at this moment.
Qin Yuesheng gritted his teeth; as the opponent’s sword blade pierced the surface of the Golden Bell Shield, a crack instantly opened up, with the blade penetrating a certain depth.
"Star Shard, Sword Gale." Wu’an Monarch’s wrist flicked, and sword gales rippled.
Qin Yuesheng certainly wouldn’t rely solely on the Golden Bell Shield as his defense; simultaneously, the Demonic Tiger Soul cleaved, clashing head-on with the opponent’s longsword.
Storm!
Qin Yuesheng’s saber strikes carried explosive gales, destroying everything around him. This power had long surpassed what a Grandmaster like Soul Chaser could withstand; before long, Soul Chaser and his three companions were swept away from the clouds, falling to the earth.
Fortunately, all three were formidable figures, each employing their own methods to forcibly and stably land without any injuries.
"Who is this person who can fight against an Immortal to such a degree? It’s truly terrifying; I never imagined a mortal realm with such masters." Soul Chaser thought incredulously.
After witnessing Qin Yuesheng’s strength, he was very aware that even if his three brothers joined forces, they probably wouldn’t be able to oppose Qin Yuesheng.
The opponent’s protective Divine Skill and Blade Skill far exceeded the level of his own abilities.
In the sky, dragons were forming formations and heavenly soldiers were lining up.
The swirling sword winds were inseparable, with Qin Yuesheng and Wu’an Monarch’s figures flickering in and out of view in midair, both moving at such high speeds that even the ordinary sensed them, let alone could they capture it with the naked eye.
It was only because Qin Yuesheng possessed mastery over three Heaven and Earth Level martial skills that he was able to engage Wu’an Monarch, an Immortal, on equal terms.
However, this was far from enough; defeating Wu’an Monarch was not an easy task.
During the confrontation, Qin Yuesheng’s arm inadvertently touched Wu’an Monarch’s shoulder, and he immediately activated the decomposition function.
[Yes/No—Decompose ’Immortal Wu’an Monarch’]
[Decomposition Success Rate: 0.0000000001%]
The more powerful the existence, the lower the success rate of decomposition, and the success rate was related to the target’s vitality state—a fact Qin Yuesheng had come to understand long ago.
Wu’an Monarch could be decomposed, but such a low success rate was within his expectations.
Despite the low odds, one always had to try their luck, so Qin Yuesheng promptly chose to decompose.
[Decomposition Failed]
At the same time, Wu’an Monarch couldn’t help but shiver, not knowing why, at that very moment, he felt a mortal crisis enveloping his body; if that crisis had persisted a bit longer, he would have been dead without a doubt.
But fortunately, the feeling of crisis appeared as quickly as it disappeared, and everything seemed as if it had never happened.
"What was that?" Wu’an Monarch thought with lingering fear.
Not only did the mortal realm have someone like Qin Yuesheng, but there were also mysterious entities that even made an Immortal like him sense the threat of death. At that moment, Wu’an Monarch no longer looked down on the mortal realm so arrogantly as he once did, as a veil of mystery began to shroud the mortal realm in his eyes.
"Could there be someone hidden around here?" Wu’an Monarch quickly surveyed the surroundings but found nothing.
An Immortal’s perception is incredibly powerful, capable of discerning any situation around with a single thought; demons and ghosts cannot hide.
Wu’an Monarch continued his assaults, his aura steady and unfaltering, yet Qin Yuesheng, on the other hand, was greatly depleted of his Inner Strength. Each strike of the Heaven and Earth Level Divine Skill, Seven Limits Devouring Heaven and Earth, represented a massive energy drain.
If this continued to drag on, Qin Yuesheng’s fate was bound to be grim.
Wu’an Monarch, having noticed this too, intensified his attacks. Sword shadows swept like meteors, swift as lightning, blossoming into flowers.
The Golden Bell Shield was riddled with numerous holes, its cracks spreading wider and denser, threatening to shatter at any moment.
Qin Yuesheng activated all six of his Six-Armed Exoskeletons, wielding a different Divine Soldier with each arm, rapidly engaging with Wu’an Monarch. However, in terms of quality, Qin Yuesheng’s Divine Soldiers couldn’t measure up to Wu’an Monarch’s sword, crafted from materials of the celestial realm, far beyond comparison to mortal creations.
After a few rounds, several Divine Soldiers showed uneven notches and even fracturing fissures.
Whish!
A blade of Sword Qi grazed past Qin Yuesheng’s face, scraping off a large swath of flesh.
"Hiss!" Qin Yuesheng knew his physique was remarkable, yet in the face of Wu’an Monarch’s Sword Qi, he couldn’t muster any resistance.
"If this continues, there’s no hope of rescuing Qin Killer, and even my own life will be lost here. I underestimated the heroes of the world, indeed." Qin Yuesheng bit his teeth, changing his blade stance, unleashing a new style of the Seven Limits Devouring Heaven and Earth.
Mount Shatter!
This Mount Shatter was unlike the former Mount Shatter of the Seven Great Limits; as a Heaven and Earth Level Divine Skill, it was even more formidable and domineering.
Even for Qin Yuesheng to use it, he had to pay a considerable price, clearly beyond what his current strength level could bear.
But at this moment, there was no longer room for hesitation; to defeat a powerful enemy, one had to reveal their trump card.
Without giving Wu’an Monarch a chance to react, Qin Yuesheng stealthily unleashed a strike.
Mount Shatter.
