Chapter 394: 19. Who dares to snatch it?
"Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, these are the Creation Four Phases.
By refining Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire together into one, it was as if returning to the primordial Chaos.
Hence its name.
This True Skill was the most perfect Four Elements Melding True Technique he had created during his Sudden Enlightenment at Tianxia Building.
Not only did he need to grasp the essence of seven different moods, but he also required an immensely clever and perfect combination of Cultivation Methods.
Moreover...
Only an extremely strong physique could bear this Power.
He had harbored similar ideas in the past, thinking along the lines of 'boiling water', using Water and Fire to promote the wind, which then transformed into the power that drove the movement of his body.
He had already tried it in the Eternal Night Illusion Realm of the Black Jade Coffin, but the first time he used it, the terrible power bursting forth from within his body blew himself up.
After many improvements, his body still couldn't withstand it. At best, he could only manage a few short moves, so he had never used it.
Not until he learned the Three Thousand Hell Body and, with guidance from Human Ancestor, after decades of cultivation in the Eternal Night Illusion Realm and with the derived Cultivation Method from Tianxia Building, did he finally perfect this incredibly defying True Skill!
Even Human Ancestor himself had admitted that this was the strongest True Technique he had ever seen.
Chaos Reopening!
"Rumble——"
As Water and Fire exploded within his body, that astonishing Power coursed through the cyclonic winds within his body, continuously circulating to every part of his body, relying only on his formidable Physical Body and the Earth Phase True Method to suppress this Power!
"This Power..."
Lin Yue couldn't help but be shocked by it.
It was also his first time using this move, feeling an unimaginable strength continuously pounding every part of his body, to the point where he could not control it and could only strike with all his might following this strength.
The result was... he couldn't hold back!
"Your Highness, would it not be better to stop? Continuing like this is merely futile..."
The Ascetic smiled calmly as he once again activated his Lion's Roar to shake Lin Yue's spirit, while extending his golden, shimmering palms, planning to catch Lin Yue's saber strike once more.
At that moment——
"Hmm?"
An oppressive aura suddenly erupted like a volcano, causing his pupils to constrict sharply, while the light from Lin Yue's saber also exploded in an instant, becoming wildly violent.
"Boom!" The massive saber glow, carrying an alarmingly terrifying ferocity, cleaved from above, seeming as if it was the very axe that had cleaved open the heavens, fiercely striking down!
"This...!!"
The Ascetic's eyes instantly bulged, facing the saber glow, he felt that his most solid hands, in front of this saber glow, were like fragile tofu, utterly incapable of resisting, being completely severed in a flash, and the terrifying Power like a mountain's fall, crashing down, even fracturing the ground reinforced by the Array underneath.
Then, the heavy and wild saber glow burst forth, completely engulfing his body, cutting him into two, while that destructive Power instantly turned his body into a pile of minced meat!
"Rumble——"
With the explosive release of overwhelming Power, merely the spreading shockwaves were enough to kill some weaker Great Cultivators!
If it were outside, without the protection of an Array, this single strike would have leveled mountains to the ground.
"Huff..."
Lin Yue fell to the ground like a shooting star, slowly exhaling a breath like a hurricane.
His face pale, he looked around at the ground; the Ascetic had been completely shattered into minced meat, and even the fragments couldn't be found.
Then, he gradually stopped the violently circulating Power within his body.
"The consumption was too great..."
At this moment, Lin Yue's body was completely drained, not even a bit of Primordial Power left, with Water, Fire, and Wind completely exhausted, and his vital energy vastly depleted—fortunately, his Recovery Power was strong enough.
There was no choice, such was the drawback of this move; it required the mobilization of all Primordial Power to activate, hence its use ensured the exhaustion of all Primordial Power, and the consumption of vital energy during its use was also great.
But its might was terrifyingly immense, a single slash had obliterated the Ascetic to the point where not even fragments could be found.
"Prince Cheng," Lin Yue slowly turned his head toward the Twelfth Prince.
The Twelfth Prince, expressionless, watched him with eyes like dead water, standing silently.
A cold murderous intent emerged spontaneously.
Are you going to kill me?
Lin Yue sheathed the Divine Artifact Battle Saber, his lips curving slightly as he said, "What's this, Prince Cheng, intending to perish together with me?"
He was not yet a Sealing King, and to kill him meant certain death, doomed to mutual destruction.
At that moment, the Seventh Princess seemed to regain her freedom, immediately flashing to his side, with the Light of Life and Death flickering in and out, ready to confront any threat at any moment.
"Be careful, he might truly be frightened," the Seventh Princess sent through Divine Thought Transmission. "But as long as he does not attack you directly, simply poisons you, I can help you detoxify."
"You really are a monster..."
Another Divine Thought Transmission from an elder of the Bailu clan came from outside the Barrier: "Prince Cheng has already stopped operating the Array, it will break open soon."
Lin Yue looked at the Twelfth Prince.
He knew that Prince Cheng probably had a genuine intent to kill.
Had it not been for the certainty of mutual destruction upon killing him, Prince Cheng would undoubtedly have made a move.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, the starry sky formed by the Array Barrier above suddenly cracked wide open, revealing the immense Thunder, the storm-like spatial distortions continuing to strike down, attempting to breach the Array.
Without the Twelfth Prince maintaining it, the Array could not last much longer.
"Twelfth brother."
The Twelfth Prince kept a watchful eye on him, and after a while, suddenly spoke, "Between you and me, must it really be a fight to the death?"
