Chapter 216: Martial Arts Ultimate (Part 2)
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor looked at Lin Yue behind Xiahong Feng and said in a deep voice, "So you are resurrecting Xiahong Feng? You are Xiahong Feng's son."
Lin Yue ignored him and only transmitted his voice to Xiahong Feng, "Human Ancestor, his true body is on the way back. I can hold them, you sever the World Tree."
Xiahong Feng glanced at him, sighed and transmitted his voice, "You know I am your father, yet you still call me Human Ancestor?"
"I have always regarded you as the Human Ancestor, I always remember the guidance you gave me with gratitude."
Lin Yue transmitted his voice, "Back when you and my mother had me, you didn't necessarily truly see me as a son, you just needed a member of the Ancient Human Clan, there's not much familial affection, is there?"
Xiahong Feng slightly frowned and transmitted his voice, "I know you are somewhat discontent and resentful, but do you really think I am such a heartless and cold person? All these years we've spent together in the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin have been no different than as father and son."
Lin Yue remained silent for a moment, transmitted his voice, "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's first sever the World Tree, we'll discuss it further in Great Yong."
"...Alright." Xiahong Feng eventually didn't say more.
"I will hold off the Heavenly Demon Ancestor and others, I can probably last two or three breaths, can you take this opportunity to sever the World Tree?" Lin Yue transmitted his voice asking.
Xiahong Feng slightly frowned and said, "I know you possess Nine Deaths Without Me, how many times have you been resurrected?"
"Six times." Lin Yue transmitted his voice, "And three more resurrection chances, anyway, they won't matter once I transcend."
He was planning to take the opportunity to perceive the state beyond life and death reversal that transcends heaven and earth.
"They... killed you six times?" In Xiahong Feng's eyes suddenly burst a hint of anger, he couldn't help but give Lin Yue a glance, in his heart surged complex emotions of guilt, fear, and relief.
He took a deep breath.
"You will forget everything during the ninth reversal, so you only have two chances." Xiahong Feng transmitted his voice in a low tone, "And it's uncertain how long your transcendence will take, better to keep those two chances."
Lin Yue was slightly startled.
Xiahong Feng then tightened his grip on the great sword in his hand, expressionlessly looked at the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, and said softly, "Next, don't take action, leave it to me."
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor felt a chill in his heart, immediately transmitted his voice to Xiahou Shou and the Wood Demon Ancestor, "He's about to make a move! I don't know how much strength he's regained, be careful, just stall until my true body arrives."
The Wood Demon Ancestor and Xiahou Shou immediately prepared solemnly.
Suddenly, Xiahong Feng took a step forward.
And somehow, Xiahong Feng had already appeared right in front of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor.
Xiahou Shou and the Wood Demon Ancestor simultaneously took action, the influence of space-time followed.
Only to see Xiahong Feng's great sword suddenly lifted high, like wielding a giant axe, the overwhelming momentum suddenly spread out, causing the entire demon country's heaven and earth to tremble.
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor momentarily felt as though he saw the endless darkness before the world was split open, subconsciously trapping his mind within.
Then, a sword light that seemed to tear through the endless darkness descended.
"Martial Arts Ultimate?"
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor instantly awoke, immediately realizing that the human ancestor before him was even more terrifying in martial arts than back in the day!
Before the Reincarnation Crown Prince, the Human Ancestor had not grasped part of the Ultimate Path, yet his strength was still terrifying, still superior to other Human Clan proving the way, why is that?
Martial Arts!
Even a Martial Arts Mastery is not the endpoint of martial arts!
Just like the same proving the way, different cultivation techniques will unleash different strengths.
Over tens of thousands of years ago, the Human Ancestor hypothesized that above Martial Arts Mastery, there is a true ultimate, but it requires absorbing all wisdom and all paths to possibly realize.
In these tens of thousands of years, he has not managed to perceive that illusory realm, unable to take a single half-step beyond.
But the Crown Prince, with the Divine Emperor's emergence back then, already had some essence of the Martial Arts Ultimate, being a Divine Master's son, yet was able to suppress him!
And now, Xiahong Feng's martial arts achievement is even scarier than a thousand years ago!
Moreover, not only does he have the Lifebound Sovereign Artifact again, but he has also condensed the Divine Heart once more!
"Boom!!"
Darkness shrouded the world, only the incomparably blinding sword light fell, tearing everything apart.
The Heavenly Demon Ancestor only had time to swing a sword, but the mismatched space-time sword light under Xiahong Feng's sword was as fragile as trying to stop a chariot with an ant, unable to shake the opponent at all, completely engulfed by the dazzling sword light.
In an instant, the deity sword in the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's hand flew out, and this Martial Arts True Body was completely shattered.
With one sword, the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's Martial Arts True Body perished.
"This..." Xiahou Shou looked incredulously at this scene, "Is this... martial arts?"
Though he knew martial arts were extremely formidable in battle, he didn't expect the gap between him and the Human Ancestor's martial arts to be this large.
At this moment, he suddenly recalled over a thousand years ago, someone claiming he was a martial arts genius comparable to the Human Ancestor, but now he understands the immense gap in martial arts between him and the Human Ancestor...
The opponent is even the creator of martial arts!
"You are Xiahou Shou? Human Clan traitor?"
Xiahong Feng took another step forward, already appearing in front of Xiahou Shou, his eyes icy cold.
He despises a human traitor the most in his life!
"Boom!"
The incomparably dazzling sword light fell again.
Xiahou Shou's martial arts achievement hasn't reached Martial Arts Mastery, hasn't even condensed the Divine Heart, and the gap with Xiahong Feng now at the peak is so vast; they are not of the same level at all.
In just an instant, he was already immersed in the endless darkness brought by that martial arts realm.
Sword light tore heaven and earth, fell on Xiahou Shou's body.
Instantly, the majority of Xiahou Shou's body was completely shattered, only a mass of Primordial Spirit escaped out in a suddenly appearing dark light at a terrifying speed.
"Hm?"
Xiahong Feng slightly raised his brow, "A technique of the Distant Master?"
He was indifferent, only turned towards the Wood Demon Ancestor and a group of Demon Gods.
Taking three consecutive steps forward, sword light blossomed three times, all the Demon Gods perished.
Fourth step, the Wood Demon Ancestor's avatar shattered.
Fifth step, he was already in front of the trembling World Tree, the dazzling sword light transformed into an infinite expanse, spreading out.
"Sever it."
The infinite sword light horizontally cut through, instantly severing the World Tree's vitality.
"Boom..."
This immense divine wood, standing for tens of thousands of years and having protected the Demon Clan for tens of thousands of years, trembled slowly, with vitality continuously fading, began to slowly fall.
Lin Yue looked at this scene somewhat incredulously.
Is it finished just like that?
His original plan was after Xiahong Feng recovered, possessing the strength of the Son of God, under the joint hands of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's Martial Arts True Body, Xiahou Shou, and the Wood Demon God, killing these few would be difficult, but it didn't matter, he'd hold them, or Xiahong Feng would hold them, then opportunely sever the World Tree.
But he didn't expect Xiahong Feng's strength to be this terrifying, killing them all with one sword each?
Only Xiahou Shou escaped relying on the technique of the Distant Master.
This strength... is too powerful.
Even if the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's true body arrives, he would surely be suppressed by Xiahong Feng now!
This gap is like his one-on-one with the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's Martial Arts True Body, the inherent difference is small, it's completely a gap in martial arts accomplishment.
Same realm, same path, but different techniques, and the unleashed strength is entirely different.
Martial Arts, is equivalent to the various cultivation methods of other systems!
The Human Ancestor, being the ancestor of martial arts, the creator of martial arts, is indeed extraordinary...
"You've practiced martial arts quite well."
Xiahong Feng appeared in front of Lin Yue, saying, "You just haven't transcended heaven and earth, so there's some lack, but you have the advantage of the Ultimate Path, keep going this way, and one day you'll grasp the martial arts ultimate."
Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the Human Ancestor now the martial arts ultimate?"
"Only crossing out half a step." Xiahong Feng shook his head, "If it were the martial arts ultimate, even if the Heavenly Demon Ancestor's true body came, I could kill him with one sword, but now it's still far from it."
