Chapter 374 - 373: Master Was Right
"How is this possible? That Qin Ya is actually overpowering Luu Kuang."
"Gasp! He’s so fast, I can’t even see him clearly."
"Gods, a Dharma Aspect! Luu Kuang actually used his Dharma Aspect against Qin Ya."
The red-robed youth, Lü Xin, Wang Huang, and the others stared at the battle high above, their eyes wide with disbelief. The shock in their hearts erupted like a landslide and a tsunami!
They had been shocked when Qin Ya, a Sky-Controlling Martial Artist, defeated the red-robed youth’s Dharma Aspect, but they could still accept it. But now, that Qin Ya had actually forced Luu Kuang, the Master of the Eight Peaks, to use his own Dharma Aspect was simply beyond belief!
Kunyun Palace had tens of thousands of disciples. Any one of them would be considered a peerless talent in the outside world, rarely finding an equal in their own realm. It wasn’t even difficult for them to challenge those at higher cultivation levels. To stand out among these tens of thousands of geniuses and become an eminent figure, serving as the Master of One Peak, meant one was a prodigy among prodigies!
Without a doubt, Luu Kuang was just such a prodigy!
Although he was only at Celestial Human Perfection, in the outside world his combat power was comparable to a Half-Step King at the very least. Yet such a prodigy was repeatedly pushed back while fighting a mere Sky-Controlling Martial Artist from the outside, even being forced to summon his Dharma Aspect!
Gods, they could hardly believe their eyes.
"Qin Ya, you forced me to use my Dharma Aspect. You have absolutely no chance of victory!"
Luu Kuang was completely enveloped within his Dharma Aspect, surrounded by immense azure gales. Even the shockingly destructive Thunder-Fire Power was unable to harm him.
But there wasn’t the slightest hint of joy on his face. Instead, it was incredibly grim.
He was the Master of the Eight Peaks, a prodigy of Kunyun Palace! Yet he had been forced to use his Dharma Aspect by a mere Sky-Controlling Martial Artist from the outside world. How could he possibly be happy about that?
"Then let’s give it a try."
Qin Ya smiled faintly. True, Luu Kuang’s Dharma Aspect was incredibly powerful, but Qin Ya was no pushover. The Four Symbols Mysteries, the Mysteries of Destruction, the Mysterious Speed—which of these wasn’t a shockingly terrifying Mystery? Although his cultivation was insufficient and his comprehension and application of the Mysteries couldn’t compare to Luu Kuang...
...he still had the confidence to defeat him!
"You’re simply courting death!"
Luu Kuang’s eyes were filled with savagery, but behind it lay a hidden trace of hesitation. The Sect had strict orders: no one was to be killed.
’Now that I’m using my Dharma Aspect, if I’m not careful and accidentally kill Qin Ya, I won’t be able to escape punishment. But this Qin Ya is just too arrogant! To be so reckless even when facing my Dharma Aspect!’
"I’ll give you one more chance. Concede!"
The corner of Qin Ya’s mouth quirked up. He looked at Luu Kuang and said softly, "You’re not afraid of Kunyun Palace’s punishment, are you? Heh. You’re that cowardly?"
As his voice fell, Qin Ya proved his resolve with action.
With a deep cry, an incomparably mysterious ripple emanated from him. Instantly, specks of Ice Flame filled the sky, Thunder raged, and gales howled. The four types of energy converged, producing a unique, mysterious fluctuation... it was the Four Symbols!
A majestic Power of Nature was born, churning the very void!
The powerful energy fluctuation made Luu Kuang’s pupils contract. He finally understood the source of Qin Ya’s confidence in resisting his Celestial Human Dharma Aspect!
’Top Profound Mysteries... It’s actually a Top Profound Mystery!’
There are countless Mysteries in the world, which Martial Artists classify as ordinary, first-class, and Top Profound Mysteries. Ninety-nine percent of the world’s Martial Artists only ever comprehend ordinary Mysteries.
These are conventional Mysteries such as wind, fire, and ice.
The Storm Mysteries Luu Kuang had comprehended, while a type of the Mysteries of Wind, was a cut above the ordinary version, but it could only be considered a quasi-first-class Mystery. And yet, Qin Ya had comprehended a Top Profound Mystery!
’Forget Kunyun Palace—in the entire Azure Sky Realm, how many Martial Artists could possibly comprehend a Top Profound Mystery? To think Qin Ya possessed such a trump card!’
’I’m definitely not mistaken. I once felt the fluctuation of a Top Profound Mystery from a Sect senior, and the memory is impossible to forget!’
"No wonder you’re so confident."
"But so what? Mastering a Top Profound Mystery only means you have extraordinary potential. With your insufficient cultivation, how can you possibly defeat my Dharma Aspect!"
Qin Ya only smiled, then suddenly unleashed the Power of Nature!
Luu Kuang didn’t dare to be careless. His True Essence erupted, and the two-hundred-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect let out a long shriek. Its hands moved in unison, gathering the omnipresent winds of the world to form a massive tornado that shot forward to meet the Power of Nature!
With a colossal BOOM, the very sky seemed to warp, and the mountains and rivers shook.
The entire Seven Peaks trembled from the immense Energy Aftermath. Wang Huang, Lü Xin, and the others were completely stupefied, their eyes filled with utter disbelief.
The majestic shockwave tore through thousands of zhang of clouds, spreading out boundlessly in every direction. The powerful energy fluctuations were detected by many throughout Kunyun Palace. In an instant, countless streaks of Flowing Light shot into the sky, all looking toward the Seven Peaks.
"That energy fluctuation... Are Luox Xinyu and Luu Kuang at it again? Hmm, wait, that’s not Luox Xinyu. Who is that?"
"I’ve never heard of someone like that on the Seven Peaks!"
"Gasp... there’s something strange about that young man. He isn’t using a Dharma Aspect!"
"Gods! He’s fighting so fiercely against Luu Kuang’s Dharma Aspect without using one of his own! Is he a Half-Step King? No, that can’t be right."
"He’s actually just a Sky-Controlling Martial Artist."
"Gods, am I dreaming?"
"I know him! He was one of the standouts from the Kunn Mountain gathering. I think his name is Qin Ya. I never imagined his combat strength was this incredible!"
"A person like that is practically a disciple of Kunyun Palace already."
BOOM... High above, two figures were blasted hundreds of zhang away from each other.
Luu Kuang’s expression was grim and unsettled. His azure Dharma Aspect was in a wretched state; its arm, right leg, and abdomen had been blasted through, leaving behind gaping holes dozens of zhang wide!
"Hmph. You’ve won this battle."
Luu Kuang’s expression flickered. He shot one last look at Qin Ya, who was only slightly pale, then snorted coldly, dismissed his Celestial Human Dharma Aspect, and turned to leave!
He won?
Qin Ya won?
Throughout the Seven Peaks, everyone gasped. Their hearts trembled as if struck by countless bolts of Thunder, their minds nearly shutting down from the shock.
He had defeated the Dharma Aspect of a Celestial Human Perfection expert with just the strength of a Sky-Controlling Martial Artist!
And not just any Celestial Human Perfection expert from the outside world, but a prodigy Celestial Human Perfection Martial Artist from Kunyun Palace! Of everyone present, Muh Qing was the most shocked, rendered almost speechless.
Like Qin Ya, he had come from outside Kunyun Palace. He knew just how extraordinary Luu Kuang’s power was; in the outside world, not even a Half-Step King necessarily possessed such might!
And yet, Qin Ya—who, like him, was an outsider—had actually won!
With the cultivation of a Sky-Controlling Perfection Martial Artist!
"Gods, Brother Qin, what kind of monster are you?"
Muh Qing gazed at Qin Ya as he landed, his voice filled with awe and a touch of defeat. They were both at Sky-Controlling Perfection, yet the gap between them was immense!
He suddenly recalled his master’s words.
"Qing’er, your Talent is strong, and your temperament is good. To have reached Sky-Controlling Perfection at such a young age is impressive. If you continue to refine yourself, you are certain to achieve great things."
"But you mustn’t grow complacent. This world is full of geniuses, and people stronger than you are everywhere. Take this Cyan Cloud Order and go to Kunyun Palace."
"Only there can you achieve your fastest growth."
Muh Qing looked at Qin Ya and thought to himself, ’Master was right after all.’
