Chapter 559 - 558: Good, Good, Good
A slight curl appeared on Qin Ya’s lips. He then circulated his True Essence and retracted his spear.
Dongmen Liyu, who seemed to have absolute confidence in his own strength, didn’t try to stop him. He allowed Qin Ya to retract the spear, then spoke with a hint of surprise, "Your True Essence... is far stronger than that of an ordinary King."
Qin Ya said lightly, "Thank you for the compliment."
"It’s just a shame that such a genius must fall here today."
Dongmen Liyu shook his head, feigning regret. "If you hadn’t insulted my Dongmen Family, I would have genuinely considered taking you as my disciple."
"Hah, are you even qualified?"
Qin Ya sneered, his tone laced with disdain.
"You are arrogant!" Dongmen Liyu roared, flying into a rage from the humiliation.
Meanwhile, on the throne high in the sky, Meiying Venerable leaned against an armrest. A rare, playful expression appeared on their face, which was shrouded in mist.
’A disciple?’
’How absurd. That boy is the Inheritor of a Saint.’
’And you, a mere Half-Venerable, have the gall to take him as a disciple.’
But Dongmen Liyu was clearly unaware of this. Rage welled up in his heart, his eyes glinting with killing intent as he raised a hand and thrust out his palm.
Palm Qi ravaged the void, forming a storm that made space itself tremble.
A casual palm strike like that was not something an ordinary Era-Defining King could block. Even an Era-Defining King like Dongmen Gu would have to go all out.
Aside from a select few, no one present had the ability to block it.
Qin Ya said coolly, "Are you looking down on me?"
As the words fell, he too raised a hand. The Four Symbols True Intent circulated, gathering the Primordial Qi from thousands of feet around. Four-colored light flared as he suddenly struck out.
The two palms met in space with a world-shaking explosion. Terrifying gales and waves of qi erupted in all directions. The shockwave spread to the ground and, with a BOOM, blasted open a massive crater. Cracks continued to spread out from the crater’s edge, only stopping after reaching two or three hundred feet.
HISS...
A casual strike from each of them actually held such astonishing power.
Especially Qin Ya. He had just become a King, how could he be so powerful?
"Heavens, just how does Qin Ya cultivate?"
"He’s only at the King Realm, yet he has already reached this level."
"This is simply unbelievable. This is a true Martial Artist, invincible within his own Realm! As a King, he can match a Half-Venerable. What if he reaches the level of an Era-Defining King?"
"If Qin Ya doesn’t die now, the Dongmen will never know peace."
The crowd was utterly horrified. The faces of Dongmen Ming, Dongmen Lie, and the others turned ashen. They immediately thought to themselves, ’It’s nothing. That was just a casual strike from the Ancestor. As long as he uses his full power, this kid will surely die.’
Dongmen Liyu’s pupils shrank. He then said coldly, "The man who killed two of my Dongmen Family’s Era-Defining Kings indeed has some skill. However, you still won’t escape death. You should know, that palm strike was only ten percent of my power."
Hearing this, the crowd was once again left speechless with amazement.
Mo Bokong, Bi Xiaoyu, and the others looked even more worried.
’This Dongmen Liyu is so powerful. Does Qin Ya have any way to defeat him?’
"Enough nonsense. Just bring out your true abilities."
"Hmph. Die."
Dongmen Liyu’s figure moved. In an instant, he broke through all obstructions and appeared above Qin Ya’s head. His True Essence condensed, pulsing with Divine Light as he suddenly pressed a palm down!
"Space... Condense!"
As his voice fell, the surrounding space trembled slightly.
A trace of surprise showed on Dongmen Liyu’s face. In less than a tenth of a second, he broke through the spatial obstruction, his Palm Technique continuing to envelop Qin Ya.
But that tenth of a second was enough for Qin Ya to prepare his attack.
"Four Seasons Spear Technique... Perfection Technique!"
SWOOSH...
The Breaking Army Spear, carrying a four-colored light, moved as if the Four Seasons were flowing, endless and renewing.
The spear thrust out, directly meeting Dongmen Liyu’s palm head-on.
Spear and palm connected, erupting with a deafening RUMBLE. The void shook violently, like a giant stone cast into a calm lake, sending out concentric ripples. Carrying immense power, they spread out and rolled up a thousand layers of clouds.
The two energies collided. Flames soared, Frost spread, fierce winds swept past, and Thunder roared. Even more immense Palm Qi ravaged the area, agitating the entire void until it trembled. The mere sight of it made the hearts of the onlookers pound with fear.
BOOM...
Then, the two were both thrown back, sent flying hundreds of feet away.
It was an even match!

"Good kid. It seems I’ll have to get serious."
A look of horror flashed through Dongmen Liyu’s eyes. He then snorted coldly as streams of Palm Qi swirled around his hand, forming a spiral Primordial Qi Vortex!
From within the Primordial Qi Vortex, a heart-pounding pressure emanated.
"Mysterious Technique, Spiral Palm!"
As he spoke, the surrounding void began to twist. He struck out with his palm, and endless Primordial Qi surged forth, forming a massive vortex. The eye of the vortex was like the maw of a giant beast, moving to envelop Qin Ya directly.
An immense suction force erupted from the eye of the vortex, constantly pulling at Qin Ya’s body, greatly restricting his speed and making it seem impossible to evade.
"Good timing."
Qin Ya showed no fear. A brilliant light shot from his eyes as he raised his palm. The True Meaning of Destruction, which he had just recently broken through with, suddenly erupted!
BOOM... A pillar of the Qi of Destruction shot toward the heavens!
"Heavens, that True Intent... it far surpasses that of a King!"
"Besides breaking through with that mysterious power that lets him control Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Frost, this destructive mysterious power has broken through as well!"
"Two kinds of True Intent... just how profound will his combat power become?"
"Let’s wait and see."
"Perhaps... he really does have the ability to fight a Half-Venerable."
Facing the vortex of Palm Qi, Qin Ya’s gaze sharpened. He raised a single palm to the sky, brought his five fingers together, and unleashed his True Intent. A terrifying Qi of Destruction instantly gathered.
"Mysterious Technique... Heaven’s Woe and Earth’s Misery!"
His explosive shout was like rolling thunder, rumbling and sweeping across the entire area. Mixed with the Qi of Destruction, it formed a sonic wave that made those with weaker cultivation levels feel incredibly uncomfortable.
Immediately after, a massive Palm Seal took form.
A terrifying light of Destruction flowed over the pitch-black Palm Seal. Its five fingers were like celestial pillars, their lines clear and distinct, and from it emanated a Mysterious fluctuation.
Vaguely, a scene of armageddon seemed to appear.
Following the breakthrough of Qin Ya’s Mysteries of Destruction, the power of Heaven’s Woe and Earth’s Misery had climbed by several dozen times. It seemed as if this one palm strike could truly destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth!
The Palm Seal shot out, parting clouds and splitting waves as fierce winds swept forth!
In an instant, it collided with the vortex. There was no earth-shattering explosion as one might expect; instead, the vortex began to spin rapidly, devouring the Palm Qi.
The vortex was stained black by the attack, and streams of the Qi of Destruction roiled within it, faintly emitting a heart-pounding fluctuation.
One could imagine that the clash of the two energies was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
A breath later, both the vortex and the Qi of Destruction dissipated at the same time!
"Good, good, good..."
