The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

"Heh, this Wind Robe’s defense is on par with a Pseudo-Spiritual Artifact. With the attack power of your Sky-Controlling Perfection cultivation, you have no hope of breaking it." Amidst a wild laugh, Luu Kuang’s fingers formed a claw and snatched a ball of wind from the air. With a sudden wave, sharp gales surged toward Qin Ya from all directions, their power surpassing that of ordinary Sword Qi!

Qin Ya’s figure flickered, moving with ghostly speed. Relying on his Divine Thought, he could easily dodge the invisible wind, but simply dodging without attacking was not his style. With a cold shout, his figure flashed through the net of wind. Amidst a deafening roar, boundless Thunder converged in his hand, and he unleashed a ferocious punch!

The instant the Thunder struck the Wind Robe, a fierce collision erupted. Thunder scattered as a hurricane swept out. The space within a hundred-zhang radius of the two filled with violent energy fluctuations, powerful enough to annihilate any Martial Artist below the Sky-Controlling Realm.

"Haha, gotcha."

Luu Kuang let out another wild laugh. His Wind Robe staunchly resisted the encroaching Thunder. At the same time, his right hand shot out and grabbed Qin Ya’s arm. With a savage grin, a storm raged around him as his right hand balled into a fist and unleashed a blast of True Essence!

Qin Ya’s pupils contracted. Boundless Thunder raged forth, deflecting most of the punch’s force, but he was still blasted over a hundred zhang away. A slight smirk touched his lips as a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Then, with a flicker of his body, he shot forward again.

"It’s useless. Your attacks have no effect on me."

"Is that so?"

The moment he spoke, thousands of Thunder Spears manifested in the air. Flickering upon them were wisps of ice-blue Flame, radiating both ferocious power and an endless, biting cold!

Thunder, Fire, and Ice!

The thousands of Thunder Spears, formed from the convergence of three energies, streaked across the sky like a spectacular meteor shower. Faced with such terrifying power, Luu Kuang’s expression changed!

Each one of those thousands of Thunder Spears possessed enough power to annihilate a Celestial Human!

"Ha! To be able to do this at the Sky-Controlling Realm... impressive."

Luu Kuang let out a great laugh and drew upon the surrounding air currents. Endless gales swept forth, stirring up waves of clouds a thousand zhang high. A massive tornado then formed, swirling around his body!

The Thunder Spears slammed into the hurricane one by one, dissipating in an instant. Though the hurricane’s power was immense, it was dwarfed by the sheer number of spears. After taking the brunt of the bombardment, an opening was gradually blasted open. The remaining Thunder Spears shot through the gap with a deafening roar, hurtling toward Luu Kuang!

Luu Kuang let out a long roar as his True Essence erupted. With his fingers clawed, he unleashed endless gales that tore through the air like innumerable sharp blades, sweeping outward. The moment they met the Thunder Spears, a deafening explosion erupted. The entire sky filled with rolling shockwaves!

Far below, the crowd stared at the majestic shockwaves that periodically erupted in the sky. They gulped, their eyes filled with unconcealable shock. They were stunned not only by Luu Kuang’s power but even more so by Qin Ya’s ability to withstand it and even fight him as an equal. ’Is he really just at the Sky-Controlling Realm?’

"Such terrifying combat power!"

"Thunder, Fire, and Ice... what kind of Mysteries are those?"

"In terms of applying Mysteries, Qin Ya might be slightly inferior. But the tier of the Mysteries he has comprehended is far above conventional ones. It’s terrifying."

"To fight a Celestial Human Perfection cultivator while only at the Sky-Controlling Realm—and a prodigy like Luu Kuang, no less—his talent is simply monstrous."

High in the sky, shockwaves tore through a thousand zhang of clouds, sending birds scattering in terror.

Luu Kuang stared at Qin Ya, a sharp glint in his eyes. He was an outstanding figure among Kunyun Palace’s many disciples, a Master of Eight Peaks. He never expected to be locked in such a fierce battle today with a youth who hadn’t even formally joined Kunyun Palace.

"You’re stronger than I imagined."

Luu Kuang grinned, and gales enveloped his body. Like a humanoid Fierce Beast that feared nothing, he charged forward. Not to be outdone, Qin Ya summoned a white spear into his hand. His gaze focused as he swept the spear out, lashing it forward viciously. BOOM! Luu Kuang was sent flying back a hundred zhang!

But thanks to the protection of the Wind Robe, he wasn’t seriously injured. He stretched his body, let out a savage grin, and charged forward again. Simultaneously, gales like sharp blades swept across the air, descending upon Qin Ya from all directions.

The long spear danced, swift as the wind and dense as the rain, like hundreds of Flood Dragons bursting from the sea. In the blink of an eye, the endless storm of wind blades was shattered to pieces.

Qin Ya no longer had any desire to drag the fight on. He gripped his spear tightly, a cold light flashing in his eyes. His figure blurred, and he crashed into Luu Kuang in mid-air. Innumerable spear phantoms moved too fast for the eye to follow. To Luu Kuang, it was a chaotic blur; he had no idea where to even begin defending. He had no choice but to fully unleash the Mysteries of Wind, wrapping his body in an all-encompassing hurricane.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

The innumerable spear phantoms, carrying the twin energies of Thunder and Fire, transformed everything before Luu Kuang’s eyes into a starry expanse of purple and blue. Majestic waves of force slammed into him one after another. Every strike that landed made his bones feel like they were cracking, even through the protection of the Wind Robe—and that was just a single hit, with countless more to follow!

Luu Kuang drew a sharp breath. ’I underestimated this kid’s speed.’

Luu Kuang sucked in a cold breath, his eyes filled with solemnity. Although his Divine Thought could track Qin Ya’s movements, perceiving him and catching him were two different matters. Qin Ya was simply too fast, so fast that Luu Kuang felt utterly helpless.

"GET BACK!!"

Luu Kuang roared furiously, his True Essence erupting in a sweeping storm!

Qin Ya was thrown back dozens of zhang by this immense force, but in the next instant, he became a storm himself, charging forward once more. His Thunder Power erupted at full strength, tearing through Luu Kuang’s gale. Imbued with Thunder-Fire Power, his spear unleashed another dense flurry of phantoms that blasted toward Luu Kuang!

"Damn it!!"

Luu Kuang was on the verge of going mad. ’This terrifying speed... I can’t even push him back! I’m just a sitting duck, letting Qin Ya bombard me. The Wind Robe’s Defense Power is strong, and I have a Pseudo-Spiritual Artifact on me too, but what’s the use? Under the assault of these spear phantoms and their terrifying power, I’ll be worn down and killed sooner or later!’

He gritted his teeth, a crazed look entering his eyes. But behind the madness was utter shock. ’I thought I was already overestimating Qin Ya. I didn’t hold back or get careless, but I’m still the one at a disadvantage!’

’This Qin Ya’s combat power... it’s far greater than I ever imagined!’

"Dharma Aspect!!"

Unwilling to drag out the fight, Luu Kuang let out a long roar. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged, and amidst the roaring gales, a Dharma Aspect nearly two hundred zhang tall, wreathed in a terrifying hurricane, instantly condensed. It exuded an astonishing might as it enveloped him!

This was one of the most powerful Dharma Aspects Qin Ya had ever seen from someone in the Celestial Human Realm. Even the Dharma Aspect of the bald elder from the Blood Nether Association who had hunted him before paled in comparison. In fact, its power was on par with that of a Half-Step King!

This made Qin Ya sigh inwardly. ’The disciples of the Hidden Sects truly are extraordinary.’

Yet, far from feeling any fear, his eyes lit up, brimming with eagerness for the challenge!

"Let’s see just how powerful your Dharma Aspect is."
