NOVEL NEXT Chapter 455: Zhao Yunchen, Who Exceeds Expectations
"Heavenly Cavalry General" Shi Wansui.
When the Golden Age Tyrant saw Shi Wansui take the stage, her expression was enormously displeased.
Although the Sui Ye Star Kingdom had won two rounds of the three so far in the Mount Hua martial arts competition, judging by the situation, Tyrant Yang Guang only felt her face reach rock bottom. She completely lacked any feeling of victory.
Tuwan Xu had Starfallen, Gao Jiong was unable to kill one Earthly Star, and the insufferably arrogant Great General Heruo Bi was incapable of breaching a single one of Li Guang's defenses, leaving her disappointed.
Now, when it was the leader of the Nine Elders Of Sui's turn, Shi Wansui was to go kill a Lord Of Heaven. This round would be enough to give her a satisfying result.
Yang Su looked at Yang Guang's expression of displeasure and shook her head, showing a bit of regret. The Cold Blooded Beauty saw farther than she could.
For Shi Wansui to face a Lord Of Heaven was simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. From her perspective, this round was considered an utter waste. Nothing could have been more perfect for Shi Wansui to face Mount Hua's law protector, for she might not be able to take down Gao Shanxue.1
"Mount Hua, you may yet switch your fighter. I shall give you this chance."
Shi Wansui was expressionless. She clearly was very disinterested in killing a Lord Of Heaven.
"Mount Hua is indeed abandoned." Shi Wansui shook her head. She was not conceited like the Self-proclaimed Great General Heruo Bi and neither would she adhere to outdated rules and ideals. Even if her opponent was only a Lord Of Heaven, Shi Wansui would use full power.
Shi Wansui cast a sidelong glance at him: "You may attack."
Zhao Yunchen did not dare be overconfident and began to circulate his magic energy. The mist curled, thunder rolled, and the entire Ascending Heaven's Summit was covered by thunderclouds. As far as the eye could see, there were rolling thunder-lights. Even Divine Intent would be injured just by touching the the thunder clouds.
Everyone immediately adopted defenses and kept their distance from this thunder pool.
Nine Firmaments Thunder Pond!
This was Zhao Yunchen's ability.
Zhao Yunchen unleashed all of his magic energy. The Nine Firmaments Thunder Pond was a hundredfold stronger compared to Thunder Array that Chen Mo originally faced. It was sufficient to completely destroy a Universe Origin Three Boundaries great sage should they step past the Thunder Pond.
"Return To Truth Seventh Tribulation?"
Shi Wansui sensed the magic energy of the Thunder Pond. Arcs of lightning danced over her skin, releasing scorching sparks. This stung a big. The woman sensed that the Lord Of Heaven in front of her had already reached the Return To Truth Seventh Tribulation Realm.
Return To Truth Seventh Tribulation Lords Of Heaven were rare in Star World. They were capable of matching True Phoenix Fifth Stage Star Generals and were able to survive against Double Character Heavenly Stars' Heaven Ranks; they were formidable opponents.
If he had faced Guo Yan, he honestly would have had a chance at victory.
But Zhao Yunchen faced Shi Wansui, a Great General ranked in the top fifty of the Star Duels List. Shi Wansui stared unfazed at the Nine Firmaments Thunder Pond. Zhao Yunchen switched hand seals, and the rolling thunder pond surged. The Star General's three main sensory organs were sealed off, but she could sense the lightning that covered all of her skin. The moment Shi Wansui stepped out of the Thunder Pond, powerful magic energy would strike her down with terrible might.
"This Daoist is actually quite capable. This ability is a bit interesting." Fu Jian was very intrigued by that "Thunder Pond." If she could construct a Thunder Pond defense in her Purple Palace, that would not be bad.
"Imperial Empress, please watch in earnest. This will be very brief." Yang Su gracefully fanned her feather fan.
Shi Wansui drew her Destined Star Weapon, the "God-devouring Halberd,"2 and strode out of the Thunder Pond.
Thunder quaked.
"Drumming thunder, pelting rain. Move swift as thunder, shocking as the mundane world!! Nine Firmaments Cloud Thunder, go!"
Zhao Yunchen changed hand seals. The Thunder Pond boiled, and suddenly, millions of rays of crystalline white light flew out, launching towards Shi Wansui like a torrential downpour.
These white lights were unlike what Chen Mo saw before. The Nine Firmaments Thunder Pond not only paired with the Nine Firmaments Cloud Trunk True Talisman, there were twelve Light Cloud Thunder Flying Swords.
Sword-light rose boundlessly, their power like a tidal wave.
The twelve Flying Swords quivered violently with thunder-light. They exploded fiercely, their might enough to jolt Heaven and Earth. The entire Nine Firmaments Thunder Pond was like Heaven had overturned it as it rolled over Shi Wansui.
In an instant, the Heavenly Cavalry General was completely devoured.
The Flying Swords unleashed wind and thunder, and the rolling thunder over Ascending Heaven's Summit echoed even a thousand li away.
This power was already comparable to a Heavnely Star's Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow Techniques. Even a Heavenly Spirit Three Calamities Earthly Star would be hard-pressed to resist it.
Zhao Yunchen continuously urged on his magic energy, his expression a bit unsightly.
All of a sudden, the water of the Thunder Pond suddenly exploded. The rolling thunder was split in two like a drawn curtain. An unstoppable force barreled out. This Nine Firmaments Thunder Pond was surprisingly unable to stop Shi Wansui from taking a step.
One step out of the Thunder Pond. The woman's gaze was sharp as she brandished the God-devouring Halberd.
Her Innate Skill was "Unstoppable." Once she began her charge, she could break through even forces that toppled mountains and overturned seas. Although Zhao Yunchen's Thunder Pond was fierce, Shi Wansui treated it like it was nothing.
Zhao Yunchen seemed to have anticipated this as he snapped his fingers.
He used a sword array. "Thunder Pond Dragon Sword Array."
The twelve Light Cloud Thunder Flying Swords became twelve, hundred zhang long dragons of scorching thunder. The thunder dragons rolled in the sky, twisting towards Shi Wansui.
The dragons constricted Shi Wansui's limbs, suppressing her power.
The Thunder Pond under her feet rapidly gathered into an enormous circle and unleashed the power of a thunderclap. The thunder contained elements that specifically hindered Star Generals' Five Elements, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, light, and darkness.
His power already nearly blinded the Ascending Heaven's Summit. No one dared to look directly, but the powerful thunder deafened everyone. The air was filled with lightning, causing everyone's acupuncture points to sting. Even from faraway, sight, sound, and touch made all the cultivators taste enormous suffering more intense than the Star General battle from before.
The God-devouring Halberd brandished a tyrannical strike. The twelve thunder dragons and the Nine Firmaments Thunder Pond shattered under Shi Wansui's weapon. The woman became a streaking comet guiding her weapon, attacking Zhao Yunchen at the same time.
Shockingly, this was her Yellow Rank "Army Breaker."
This charge had the a level of power that could take the enemy general's head from among thousands of troops. Along the way, the Thunder Pond disintegrated and the sword-light parted. The formidable force blew against Zhao Yunchen like a ferocious gale, his defensive magic energy unable to resist.
Daoist Shang chanted. He had a century of experience cultivating with Chen Tuan. His Daoist mind was steady, unperturbed. The "Dragon Gate Soul Technique," "Orthodox One Classic," "Highest Clarity Classic," "True Classic of the Clashing Void," "True Classic of Open Darkness," and other Daoist secret texts concentrated his Divine Intent. All of his power was gathered into one finger, and ZHao Yunchen pointed it straight at Shi Wansui's forehead.
It fiercely flicked forth.
Conversion Finger!3
This Conversion Finger collected Daoist Shang Zhao Yunchen's Daoist cultivation into a powerful ability. It combined Daoism's Three Treasures, the Dao, scriptures, and the master as well as millions of Daoist texts. This simply was the supreme power of Daoism.
This technique was his invention, one under his finger.
An air free of mundane vulgarity pounced over. The entire world's suffering seemed to vanish, and a deeply steady power tapped against Shi Wansui's forehead.
Even the Heavenly Cavalry General's unstoppable assault instantly crumbled.
This Conversion Finger was the pinnacle of Zhao Yunchen's powers, the quintessence of Daoism. The magic energy of Return To Truth Seventh Tribulation was sufficient to make an entire army of cavalry lay down their arms and surrender.
"Incredible, incredible."
"Too amazing."
The surroundings were filled only with countless exclamations of admiration.
Chen Mo was also astounded.
"Senior Yunchen is truly amazing." Jiang Kui felt boundless comfort just from seeing this Conversion Finger. The sense of crisis ceased to exist. This was the terrifying aspect of Conversion Finger.
Chen Mo was very much in agreement. As expected of a cultivator who had trained at Mount Hua together with Ancestor Chen Tuan. He perhaps could have even a chance of victory against Heruo Bi.
But…
Seeing that Zhao Yunchen's Conversion Finger was incoming, Shi Wansui moved her forehead. The God-devouring Halberd swung, her Yellow Rank dispersed by this finger. The woman stamped with her foot, and the surrounding space suddenly warped as a burst of Star Energy exploded.
Shi Wansui was a swift and decisive person. Seeing her Yellow Rank fail, she immediately followed with Dark Rank "City Breaker."
Without too flashy a change, Shi Wansui hefted the God-devouring Halberd and attacked again. The Heavenly Cavalry General was like a primeval suan'ni. She bared her polearm like a fang, her power flooding the heavens, able to completely destroy a city. Killing intent that could siege a city instantly scattered the Nine Firmaments Thunder Pond's thunder and cloud-light. Conversion Finger's energy vaguely wavered, surprisingly a bit unable to hold it back.
Zhao Yunchen's expression was grim, his face pale. This Conversion Finger was his strongest ability that had but gathered his Daoism, Realm, and Return To Truth Seventh Tribulation magic energy. A Double Character Heavenly Star that once challenged him had been repelled by his Conversion Finger.
How is she so strong.
A mere Dark Rank was able to match his Conversion Finger.
Zhao Yunchen was grim. Shi Wansui's strength was far beyond his imagination. Seeing that Conversion Finger was unable to hold out, his Divine Intent moved, and he was left with no choice but to activate his strongest Primeval Chaos Spirit Treasure.
A half jade, half green gourd-like fruit popped out of thin air. This fruit had unusual markings that tacitly conformed with Heaven and Earth.
This Primeval Chaos Spirit Treasure was named the "Time Immemorial Fruit," something he grew after he obtained a treasure map, spent a century searching for, then nurtured after gathering nine years of the most ancient qi from the outskirts of the Primeval Chaos Star World.
Once this Time Immemorial Fruit appeared, it emitted a misty clear light. It was green and blue, like ancient qi.
Under the support of the Time Immemorial Fruit, the Conversion Finger immediately magnified its magic energy and once again shook Shi Wansui.
But with this action, the Nine Firmaments Thunder Pond, Thunder Pond Sword Array, the Conversion Finger and the Time Immemorial Fruit, Zhao Yunchen had nothing else to hold back. All of these were his most powerful abilities and magic weapons combined with his strongest Return To Truth Seventh Tribulation magic energy.
This formation shook Heaven and Earth. Even a Star General's expression would change.
Shi Wansui's steel-like expression suddenly warped. Conversion Finger destroyed her Dark Rank and crushed her body. The powerful magic energy penetrated into her mind. At the critical confrontation, there was no room for thought. The smallest opening could lead to irrecoverable disaster.
The twelve Light Cloud Thunder Flying Swords once again emitted halos under the Time Immemorial Fruit's misty clear light. Sword-light fired twelve thunder dragons that continued to constrict.
Sui Ye Star Kingdom.
Yang Guang's eyes widened, and her fingers gripped her armrest.
Impossible.
Even Shi Wansui will lose?
If this happened, her Star Marquessate perhaps would hit rock bottom in reputation. Her "Seal of the Star Marquis" would even need to be returned to the Central Star Field. Three consecutive dissatisfactory rounds already gave this Tyrant the mind to not look down on Mount Hua. This Daoist's Conversion Finger and Time Immemorial Fruit combination surprisingly made this Star Marquis feel worry.
Yang Su wrinkled her brow. She did not expect this Daoist would be so unfathomable.
If it had been Heruo Bi, perhaps she actually would have been careless and already left heavily injured. She would not even had a chance to use her Heaven Rank. However, his opponent was Shi Wansui, a woman who absolutely would never be frivolous. At this time, the Cold Blooded Beauty suddenly was a bit glad that this Heavenly Cavalry General had taken the stage. The others honestly would be in danger.
Phoenix Dark Rank Break Thousand Cities!
Shi Wansui bellowed. The God-devouring Halberd emitted a divine sound, and a kind of unstoppable force suddenly exploded.
"Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow. Time immemorial and endless."
Daoist Shang Zhao YUnchen's eyes glowed, and he released six projections. The seven Daoist Shang's surrounded her from seven directions.
The Time Immemorial Fruit's light glowed bright.
Bang.
Conversion Finger touched her, and a crack appeared on her breastplate. Shi Wansui's expression slightly changed.
Her Phoenix Dark Rank could not stop this!!
- The point she's trying to make here is that Shi Wansui's abilities were better used elsewhere, preferably against another powerful Star General, instead of a mere human. Their strongest fighter has been wasted. ↩
