Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One
Chapter 103 Slaying the Kunpeng, Descending the Silver Moon
Chapter 103 Slaying the Kunpeng, Descending the Silver Moon (A long chapter of 10,000 words)
The airship plummeted from the sky, crashing into the ground and creating a crater hundreds of feet in diameter. Flames and explosions spread in all directions.
One after another, figures flew out from the flames, each of them possessing the aura of the Fish-Dragon Realm, numbering no less than fifty or sixty.
A martial artist at the Fish-Dragon Realm is worthy of the title of expert anywhere. In a remote place like Tianmo Ridge, there are no more than twenty martial artists at the Fish-Dragon Realm.
Among this group of Fish-Dragon Realm experts, six are the strongest: four men and two women, all of whom are martial artists at the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm. Three of them are senior experts from the Xiao Sheng Clan, while the other three are the presidents of the Wu Shi Qian Zhuang branch in three of the prefecture cities of Nanyang Prefecture.
"Gentlemen, the Purple Wind Star Envoy has already appeared, and the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall must also be nearby. Killing Di Yi will be our great opportunity to make a name for ourselves today," the old woman of the Fish-Dragon Ninth Transformation of the Xiao Sheng Clan said loudly.
"You bunch of worthless scoundrels, you think you can deal with the young master?" A chuckle came from the night, and Ye Honglei emerged from the darkness, her red dress exuding an eerie beauty under the moonlight.
The old woman from the Xiao Sheng clan was drawn to her voice and met Ye Honglei's eyes, which gradually became unfocused.
"It's that demoness, the Red Desire Star Envoy! She's a disciple of the Illusion Saint! Be careful of her illusions!" shouted the old man of the Fish-Dragon Ninth Transformation from the Xiao Saint Clan. He unleashed a sonic martial art, waking the old woman from the Xiao Saint Clan who was nearly trapped in an illusion.
"What a terrifying illusion! The Red Desire Star Envoy is only in his twenties, how could his mental strength be so terrifying?" the old woman said with lingering fear.
"Hehe, a bunch of old fogies, how could they understand the power of the Seven Fiends of the First-Class Hall?" Ye Honglei chuckled, her forty-fourth-level spiritual power sweeping across the area, causing the eyes of the six experts at the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm to darken.
It was during this fleeting opportunity that several top experts in the black market made their move.
The Azure-Clad Star Envoy drained half of his holy energy and poured it into the holy sword in his hand, activating all the holy artifact inscriptions before unleashing a slash.
Xu Hong and the Hunter, both experts of the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Clan from the Blood Cloud Sect, attacked in the form of assassination.
The power of a single strike from a sacred artifact is enough to threaten even a semi-saint level expert; the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon technique is simply no match for it.
But since Xiao Lingyan dared to plan in this way, how could she not have made other preparations?
The three masters of Wushi Money Shop are all exceptionally skilled.
When faced with the attack from the Azure-Clad Star Envoy using his holy sword, Pei Qianjun, the owner of the Wushi Money Exchange in Fufeng County, simply took out one item: a piece of black tortoise shell.
He infused his holy energy into the tortoise shell, instantly creating a barrier of holy light around everyone, blocking the attack from the Azure-Clad Star Envoy and forcing Xu Hong and the Hunter back.
"The Xuan Turtle Shield, one of the top three sacred artifacts in the Nanyang Prefecture Martial Market Money Exchange, has actually been entrusted to you." The Azure-Clad Star Envoy was somewhat surprised. The Xuan Turtle Shield was of extremely high quality, not a hundred-pattern sacred artifact, but a thousand-pattern sacred artifact. It was said to be forged from the shell of a seventh-order tortoise-like savage beast with Xuanwu bloodline, and its defensive power was extremely astonishing.
"Red Desire Star Envoy, Green Robe Star Envoy, Purple Wind Star Envoy, the Seven Fiend Star Envoys are now down to just the three of you. Today we can wipe you all out." The last Fish-Dragon Ninth Transformation expert of the Xiao Sheng Clan was a middle-aged man named Xiao Chong. He was the most powerful, far surpassing ordinary Fish-Dragon Ninth Transformation martial artists.
A streak of dark light flew out from Xiao Chong's brow and transformed into a large axe about eight feet long.
"The Eight Desolate Axe, one of the sacred artifacts of the Xiao family clan? Xiao Sheng would actually entrust his weapon to a group of juniors." The blue-robed star envoy's expression changed slightly. The Eight Desolate Axe was also a thousand-pattern sacred artifact, even more powerful than the Xuan Turtle Shield. It was Xiao Sheng's signature weapon, a true sacred artifact.
A martial artist at the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm cannot unleash the full power of the Thousand-Patterned Sacred Artifact, but if several martial artists at the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm join forces, they can still activate the Thousand-Patterned Sacred Artifact to deliver a blow that is enough to pose a threat to a half-saint.
"The Thousand-Patterned Sacred Artifact is powerful, but with just a few of you, how much of its power can you possibly unleash?" Ye Honglei showed no fear. Having cultivated within the World-Stabilizing Banner for two years, her mental strength and illusionary skills had greatly improved. In front of her, it would be no easy task to fully activate the Sacred Artifact.
She channeled her spiritual power into the staff in her hand, and with a swing, several powerful crimson lightning bolts appeared in the void, falling towards the many martial artists from the Martial Market Bank and the Xiao Sheng Clan.
Lightning did not attack the six experts at the ninth level of the Fish-Dragon Transformation, but instead attacked the others who were slightly weaker.
"What a wicked witch! Her methods are truly despicable."
Pei Qianjun activated the Xuan Turtle Shield, actively meeting Ye Honglei's mental attack.
The Azure-Clad Star Envoy also activated her holy sword, heading towards Xiao Chong, who wielded the Eight Desolate Axe. Her cultivation had improved again in the past two months, reaching the seventh transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm. She had also cultivated the Azure Cloud Sacred Body to near completion, greatly increasing her combat power. Even though Xiao Chong was wielding the Eight Desolate Axe, a thousand-patterned sacred artifact, she was confident that she could defeat him.
Xu Hong and the hunter had already exposed their presence and no longer used assassination methods. Instead, they unleashed their Ninth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm cultivation and joined the battle, each choosing an opponent who was also at the Ninth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm.
The Blood Cloud Sect's group of Fish-Dragon Realm assassins also joined the fray, engaging in a fierce battle with the experts from the Martial Market Money Shop and the Xiao Sheng Clan.
The owner of the Wushi Money Exchange in Wu'an County was a middle-aged woman who wielded a long sword and unleashed a ghost-level sword technique as she attacked Ye Honglei.
But the moment she drew her sword, her martial spirit sensed a strong sense of crisis. A rusty ancient sword slashed past her throat, nearly severing her head.
Ah Le turned around and looked at the middle-aged woman whose throat was bleeding profusely. He frowned and said, "As expected of a master of the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon, who has cultivated the Glazed Treasure Body, I couldn't kill her even with my full-force sword strike."
Although the middle-aged woman did not die, she was seriously injured by Ah Le's sword. The wound on her neck was almost to the bone. If it weren't for the strong vitality of a Fish-Dragon Realm martial artist, she would have died long ago from such an injury.
Wan Chuan, the owner of the Wushi Money Exchange in Jiannan County, originally intended to besiege the Azure-Clad Star Envoy. Upon seeing this, he hurriedly turned back to come to the rescue, but two tall figures blocked his way.
Ziqian, wielding a sword, and Ziyuan, wielding a spear, arrived together.
"Two juniors at the fourth stage of the Fish-Dragon Transformation dare to stop me? They're courting death." Wan Chuan raised his palm and struck out, also using a Ghost-level martial skill.
After cultivating within the World-Stabilizing Banner for two years, Zi Qian has already mastered the Purple Moon Sacred Body. Although she is only at the fourth stage of the Fish-Dragon Transformation, she possesses combat power comparable to the seventh stage of the Fish-Dragon Transformation.
Ziyuan, on the other hand, has cultivated a dual spiritual treasure body, with a solid foundation, and her strength is no less than that of Ziqian.
Even so, given the huge difference in their cultivation levels, the two of them together were no match for Wan Chuan.
Just then, a fiery red streak of light flew out from behind Ziyuan, its size instantly growing to tens of feet in length. It was a fire dragon whose entire body was enveloped in flames.
A dragon claw burning with crimson dragon flames descended from the sky, colliding with Wan Chuan's palm print.
With a deafening roar, the palm print shattered, but the dragon claw continued its descent towards Wan Chuan without pause.
After devouring a large number of rare and precious materials within the World-Stabilizing Banner, Di Yan also transformed into a fifth-tier superior savage beast, reaching the seventh transformation of the Fish-Dragon realm, making him even more powerful than a Saint Body of the same realm.
The enormous dragon claw slammed Wan Chuan into the ground, and the crimson dragon flames melted the earth.
In the void, the ultimate duel between Purple Wind Star Envoy and Silver Moon Arrival has begun.
She was the first Star Envoy selected by the Black Market's First-Class Hall. Whether in terms of physique or talent, Silver Moon in the Sky was an outstanding person among her peers. Both of them came from the same school as the Gun Saint, so Purple Wind Star Envoy actually had to call her Senior Sister.
Two beams of light, one purple and one silver, collided continuously in the sky. The Silver Moon Martial Soul, which was hovering in the sky, had absorbed the power of the moonlight for decades and had become incredibly powerful. It was now infinitely close to the Saint Soul of a Half-Saint, and its combat strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Fish-Dragon Ninth Transformation Peak expert, and was infinitely close to a Half-Saint.
Zifeng Xingshi is equally powerful. Although he is much younger than Yinyue Linkong, the cultivation resources he can obtain are far superior to those of Yinyue Linkong. After obtaining the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures from Di Yi, Zifeng Xingshi has already cultivated a dual-spiritual treasure body and is not far from cultivating a triple-spiritual treasure body. In terms of physique, he is no less than Yinyue Linkong.
As Xiao Lingyan sensed the aura emanating from the two combatants, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The Black Market truly lived up to its reputation for dominating half of the Eastern Region; it was indeed a place where talents emerged in great numbers. If it weren't for the severe internal strife, the Martial Market Bank, the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion, and the Two Elements Sect would probably have been completely suppressed by it.
"The cultivation levels of Silver Moon in the Sky and Purple Wind Star Envoy are probably already very close to that of a half-saint. I wonder if they have the strength to fight against a first-tier half-saint."
"With the Holy Body reaching the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, one can even fight against a powerhouse at the early stage of the next level of Half-Saint. If one can cultivate the Holy Body to a minor level of mastery, victory is not impossible."
A sudden sound rang in Xiao Lingyan's ears, startling her. She instinctively reached out to slash with the crescent blade in her hand, but a black longsword emerged from the night and stopped at her throat.
Han Qiu's figure appeared along with the long sword. Her face was as white as frost, but the hem of her skirt was as black as ink. Her eyes were like two miniature black holes, which surprised even the young master candidate of Wushi Money House.
"The power of the Dark Path?"
"The young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall is truly a hidden force; I underestimated the Black Market."
With a sharp blade at her throat, Xiao Lingyan showed no fear. She turned to look at the man in black beside her, scrutinized him carefully, and chuckled, "It's a pity you're a member of the heretical path. If you were a saint of the Holy Academy, you could attract the attention of countless women with just this appearance."
Di Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the battle in the sky, and said calmly, "How about we make a bet?"
"Oh? What are we betting on?" Xiao Lingyan asked with interest.
Di Yi turned his gaze to her and laughed, "I'll bet your life, I'll bet you can escape from my grasp."
Di Yi's smile was warm, but in Xiao Lingyan's eyes it turned into endless killing intent.
"How old is he? His cultivation level has already reached a level that I can't even fathom. The disciple of the Xuanji Academy Master hasn't even stepped into the Fish-Dragon Realm yet, has he?" Xiao Lingyan thought to herself.
"Why would I gamble my life with you? Do you think I have no other options?"
Di Yi turned his gaze to the battlefield on the ground. With the powerful Di Yan joining the battle, the Fish-Dragon Realm experts from Wu Shi Qian Zhuang and Xiao Sheng Clan were gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.
"The breath of the Holy Body..."
Di Yi's eyes were bright. The 44th level of spiritual power enhanced his True Source Demon Eyes, allowing his eyes to penetrate the chaotic dust of the battlefield and see the figure that was trying its best to conceal its aura but was quietly approaching.
"Is your confidence based on this sacred body?"
Xiao Lingyan's expression changed slightly, and her hand holding the knife trembled slightly for the first time. It seemed that she had underestimated his strength.
“Young Master of the Black Market First-Class Hall, your perception is more acute than I imagined.”
A deep and resonant voice rang out, stirring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. A powerful holy might manifested from the void, originating from a man wearing a white jade crown and a brocade robe with Kunpeng and cloud patterns.
This holy aura does not come from a saint, but from a holy body.
"The Holy Body has achieved minor completion."
Han Qiu sensed the heavy aura of the Holy Body's origin emanating from the newcomer, and his hand holding the sword began to tremble. The Dark Body was not weaker than the Holy Body, but the difference in cultivation between the two was too great, and they were not even on the same level.
The figure in brocade robes arrived stepping through the void, his body surging with holy energy, and his voice materialized like a mighty river, powerful and majestic.
Centered on him, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continuously converged, especially the water-attribute spiritual energy, which gathered behind him to form a swamp. In the swamp, a giant beast full of wild and untamed energy leaped out of the water. It was pitch black and exuded a chilling aura.
It is a strangely shaped whale. Instead of fins on its belly, it has a pair of wings.
Di Yi's expression gradually turned gloomy, not because the newcomer was powerful, but because of the physique he possessed.
The vast ocean gave birth to the Kunpeng. Among the thirty-six prefectures of the Eastern Divine Land that have not yet broken through to the half-saint level, the Kunpeng Sacred Body Xu Yunling is enough to rank among the top five.
Di Yi's heart was in turmoil, and an uncontrollable killing intent surged from within him.
The original aura of the Five Elements Divine Demon Body was revealed, gathering behind him into a five-colored chaotic phantom. Four colors were solid, and one color was illusory. It was still missing the final source of spiritual fire.
Apart from the fierce battle between Silver Moon and Purple Wind Star Envoy in the void, all the experts fighting on the ground stopped and looked on in surprise and doubt.
For a moment, everyone's expression changed constantly, feeling helpless.
The experts from Wushi Money Shop and Xiao Sheng Clan did not expect that Di Yiyi would subdue Xiao Lingyan with a single move. Most people in the black market also did not expect that, in addition to Yin Yue Lin Kong, there would also be Xu Yunling, the Kunpeng Saint Body with the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon.
The Crimson Copper Brahma Seal flew out from the dantian between Emperor Yi's eyebrows. He held the White Tiger Holy Sword, the most lethal of the Four Symbols Holy Swords, in his hand. Behind him, five colors evolved into chaos, and from the chaos, black and white holy rays surged forth.
His black robes fluttered in the air, and the light beneath his feet was like fire. He met Xu Yunling's gaze, and then the light beneath his feet suddenly increased, transforming into a flying rainbow that attacked Xu Yunling.
The Xu Sheng Clan and Di Yi have a deep-seated blood feud. In this life, both of Di Yi's parents died at the hands of powerful members of the Xu Sheng Clan. Although the perpetrators have been killed by Xia Xiongtu, this feud will not end as long as the Xu Sheng Clan exists.
Facing Di Yi's offensive head-on, Xu Yunling lost his previous leisurely demeanor, his eyes filled with surprise. He actually felt threatened by Di Yi.
How could a junior who is not even twenty years old be able to threaten him?
It's a joke.
Looking at the illusory figure emanating chaotic energy behind Di Yi, Xu Yunling frowned: "Is this the Holy Body Dharma Form of the Five Elements Holy Body?"
Emperor Yi's sword arrived in an instant. After mastering Sword One, his sword became simpler and purer, no longer bound by any particular move. Even the low-grade Spirit-level Heavenly Heart Sword Technique could unleash incredible power.
Xu Yunling is a prodigy of the Xu Sheng Clan and also a saint of the Eastern Region Holy Academy; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Nanyang Prefecture with Xiao Lingyan.
Although he was not a saint of the swordsmanship system, he had fought against a saint of the swordsmanship system who had cultivated the wordless sword manual, and he recognized at a glance that Di Yi was using Sword One.
"Kunpeng in the Sea of Clouds".
Xu Yunling's contempt vanished instantly. He had never seen Di Yi's mastery of the wordless sword manual among the saints of the Eastern Domain Holy Academy. With just this one sword, Di Yi was enough to become one of the top experts below the half-saint level in the entire Eastern Domain.
A powerful holy aura surged from his body, and the originally black Kunpeng behind him spread its wings, transforming from black to gold and radiating dazzling golden light.
A black and gold phantom of a Kunpeng flew out of the marsh, more than ten zhang long, and met Di Yi's sword.
The phantom of the Kunpeng exuded an ancient and powerful aura, carrying a hint of the might of an ancient divine beast.
"Is this the Holy Body Dharma Image? It doesn't seem like anything special."
Di Yi frowned slightly, feeling that Xu Yunling was not as powerful as he had imagined, and was even slightly weaker than the Silver Moon in the Sky and the Purple Wind Star Envoy who were fighting in the sky.
A dazzling sword aura condensed on the White Tiger Holy Sword, slashing at the Kunpeng phantom. Emperor Yi unleashed extreme speed with the Flowing Light Flying Rainbow Escape Technique, bypassing the Holy Body Dharma Image, and combined the Crimson Copper Brahma Seal with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to unleash a Divine Dragon Calamity.
The crimson palm force condensed into a holy dragon over thirty feet long, with the crimson copper Brahma Seal as its head, and headed towards Xu Yunling.
"Boom!"
A powerful surge of holy energy rippled between the two, exploding in the sky like a tidal wave, and illuminating the night like a red sun.
Han Qiu and Xiao Lingyan were still some distance apart, but under the aftershocks of their battle, they didn't even have time to react before being swept away by the terrifying energy tide.
"Thump! Thump..."
Di Yi's figure retreated, taking five steps in the void.
Xu Yunling staggered back eleven steps before barely managing to steady himself. He pressed his hand to his chest, his face a mixture of red and white, and looked at Di Yi in utter shock and disbelief.
"Are you really Emperor Yi?"
Di Yi withdrew the Crimson Copper Brahma Seal, looked at his palm, and was somewhat surprised.
Xu Yunling's Kunpeng Sacred Body doesn't seem to be as powerful as imagined.
Is the Kunpeng Sacred Body merely a name, or has he underestimated his own martial arts strength?
"Xu Yunling, you can't even confirm my identity, yet you dare to get involved in the Silver Moon's Arrival. You're courting death."
Di Yi put away the White Tiger Holy Sword and put on the Ghost King Claw. This twelfth-tier True Martial Treasure, given to him by Di Yue, was no longer considered a powerful weapon at his current cultivation level, but he could now perfectly unleash its power.
He charged forward again, launching an attack on Xu Yunling with the Hell King Claw.
Xu Yunling is the number one person below the half-saint level in the Palm Dao system of the Eastern Domain Holy Academy. He specializes in Palm Dao and has mastered more than one ghost-level palm technique.
"No matter who you are, once I kill you, the truth will be revealed."
Xu Yunling unleashed the Ghost-level mid-grade palm technique, the "Fourteen Palms of Emptiness," mobilizing the Kunpeng Sacred Body Dharma Image and going all out to regain face from Di Yi.
"The Seal of the Ghost King".
The true energy and holy energy within Emperor Yi continuously flowed into the Ghost King's claw, causing all ninety-nine runes within the claw to revive and ignite with black ghost flames. As Emperor Yi unleashed his claw, the ghost flames condensed into a three-zhang-sized skull seal.
"The four seas are clear and bright."
Xu Yunling's palms combined with the Kunpeng Technique, unleashing a dazzling golden light, making him appear as if he had transformed into a golden holy sun.
The Emperor, facing the majestic and powerful Kunpeng Holy Body Dharma Image, not only did not feel threatened, but also inexplicably had the idea that 'this Holy Body Dharma Image is very weak'.
He instinctively activated his Five Elements Divine Demon Body, and the power of the divine demon phantom behind him immediately amplified the Ghost King's Seal, colliding with Xu Yunling's palm print.
The two's all-out attack should have been a peak duel between those below the level of a half-saint, but a strange scene unfolded.
When the Kunpeng Sacred Body Dharma Form encountered the Ghost King's Dharma Seal, it was like a mouse encountering a cat, completely lacking fighting spirit. It collapsed at the first touch and was shattered into pieces by this blow, turning into golden light that filled the sky.
The Sacred Body Dharma Form was a technique that Xu Yunling had painstakingly cultivated, formed from the very essence of the Sacred Body. With the Sacred Body Dharma Form shattered, Xu Yunling also suffered a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood and turning deathly pale. "How is this possible? What method did you use to suppress my Kunpeng Sacred Body?"
In that last attack, the difference in strength between the two sides was clearly not that great, but the Holy Body Dharma Image inexplicably lost control at the last moment, something Xu Yunling had never encountered before.
Xiao Lingyan broke free from Han Qiu's control and retreated several miles away to watch the battle. Upon seeing this scene, she was also filled with disbelief: "Senior Brother Xu's Kunpeng Sacred Body is extremely domineering and is by no means an ordinary person among Sacred Bodies. Just what kind of physique does Di Yi have that he can make even the Sacred Body Dharma Image of the Kunpeng Sacred Body feel fear?"
As the observer sees more clearly, she clearly saw that the Kunpeng Sacred Body Dharma Form was clearly afraid of the chaotic phantom behind Emperor Yi and was being suppressed by it.
"The talented woman of the Holy Book once mentioned in the Eastern Region Chronicle that Emperor Yi possesses the Five Elements Holy Body and the Heart of the Fiery Demon, making his physique stronger than that of an ordinary Holy Body, but it is not powerful enough to suppress the Kunpeng Holy Body, is it?"
"Could it be that he has already evolved the Five Elements Sacred Body into the legendary Five Elements Chaos Body?"
Han Qiu was also shocked. She had been worried about Di Yi, but now she relaxed and looked at Xiao Lingyan with disdain, saying, "You can't even imagine how powerful the young master is. He's just a Kunpeng Saint Body. If the young master wants to, it's not difficult to cultivate ten or eight Saint Bodies."
Xiao Lingyan gave her a cold look but did not refute her. Of the seven Fiend Stars that the Black Market First-Class Hall had painstakingly trained, four had actually been lost.
The Green-Robed Star Envoy and the Azure Star Envoy were destroyed by the Silver Moon in the Sky, and Zhang Ruochen captured the Orange Moon Star Envoy and cut off Huang Shenyi's arm.
The black market has spies in the Eastern Divine Land, and the Martial Market Money Exchange naturally has eyes and ears throughout the universe.
If she hadn't known that Di Yi, the young master of Yipintang, actually had no powerful backers in the black market and that the forces he could mobilize were quite limited, she wouldn't have had the idea of using Yin Yue Lin Kong to deal with Di Yi.
The disciple of the Xuanji Sword Saint has been too dazzling. He first defeated Xia Shaoyang, then killed Huang Shenyi, and now he is even taking six Xuanwu Holy Swords to the Xuanwu Ruins to break through to the supreme realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Once he reaches the Fish-Dragon Realm, he will undoubtedly have a place as a candidate for the position of Young Master of the Eastern Martial Market Money Shop.
With four of the Seven Fiends Envoys lost, Xiao Lingyan had assumed that Emperor Yi had very few young experts at his disposal, but now she realized she was quite wrong.
Leaving aside the Red Desire Star Envoy whose strength far exceeded expectations, even the woman in front of us who could master the Way of Darkness, and those young men and women on the ground battlefield whose cultivation was not high but whose strength was terrifying, who would dare to say that Emperor Yi had no one to use?
The most outrageous thing is that Di Yi, who is not even twenty years old, has only reached the Supreme Realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm for a few months, yet he already has the strength to suppress Xu Yunling, the strongest expert below the Half-Saint level. It's like a dream.
Di Yi turned his gaze to the illusory figure behind him, which might be more accurately described as the Five Elements Divine Magic Image.
After their two previous encounters, he finally understood why Xu Yunling, who possessed the Sacred Body, didn't seem that strong to him. It was because the power of the Kunpeng Sacred Body Dharma Form couldn't be fully unleashed when it encountered the Five Elements Divine Demon Body Dharma Form.
It's like a subject seeing his monarch, naturally feeling much smaller.
This was something that Emperor Yi had never discovered before, and it is possible that this supernatural phenomenon only arose after he refined the four Five Elements Spiritual Treasures.
The five elements, which generate and restrain each other, require at least three of the five elements to form a relatively complete cycle. This is why the Three Spiritual Treasures Body can be compared with the Holy Body.
The fourth of the five elements has already formed an incomplete cycle of the five elements and has begun to evolve into chaos.
Di Yi was unaware of whether anyone had cultivated the Five Elements Divine Demon Body before him, and his exploration of his own physical constitution was still quite limited.
"Xu Yunling, let me witness the power of the Kunpeng Sacred Body once more."
Emperor Yi, full of fighting spirit, supported the incomplete Five Elements Divine Magic Form and simultaneously unleashed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm and the Hell Ghost King Claw.
He unleashed nine strikes in a row.
Holy energy surged forth from Xu Yunling's body once more, and he did not hesitate to burn the essence of his holy body to restore himself to his peak condition.
However, the physical suppression was like an unbreakable cage, preventing him from unleashing even half of his full combat power, and he was repeatedly defeated by Di Yi.
The palm prints and claw marks landed on Xu Yunling's body, but only made him vomit blood; they did not truly injure him.
It wasn't that Di Yi's attack power wasn't strong enough, but rather that Xu Yunling was wearing a set of holy armor under his clothes.
Armored artifacts are the most valuable type of artifact, often enough to exchange for several other artifacts of the same rank. The armor worn by Xu Yunling is called the [Four Seas Kunpeng Armor], one of the inherited artifacts of the Xu Saint Clan. It has more than nine hundred inscriptions inside, ranking among the top twenty of the hundred-inscription artifacts, and is much more valuable than many thousand-inscription artifacts.
With such a sacred artifact by his side, even an attack from a first-order half-saint in the early stage would be difficult to seriously injure Xu Yunling.
The white jade crown was shattered by the Ghost King's claws. Xu Yunling's long hair was disheveled, and blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth. She was no longer the aloof person she had been before, but instead became hysterical.
"So what if you can suppress my Kunpeng Sacred Body? With the Four Seas Kunpeng Armor, your attacks can't do any damage to me at all."
Emperor Yi remained silent, focusing solely on unleashing his palm strikes. He had mastered the seventh move of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, the Dragon Elephant Divine Furnace, for many years. Although he hadn't devoted much energy to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm in recent years, his mastery of palm techniques had also risen steadily with the improvement of his cultivation.
"Try this palm strike."
A deep voice rang in Xu Yunling's ears, but Di Yi's aura suddenly surged, and the speed of his palm strikes became extremely fast. At the same time, hundreds of illusory arms appeared, accompanied by the sound of dragons and elephants.
The eighth move of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, Thousand Hands Dragon Elephant.
As he unleashed the Thousand Hands Dragon Elephant, Di Yi also activated the 'True' divine script, causing the speed of the holy energy circulation within his body to increase dramatically, almost doubling the power of this palm strike.
The violent palm strike landed on Xu Yunling's chest. Even with the protection of the sacred armor, he was still struck so hard that he coughed up a mouthful of blood, mixed with fragments of his internal organs.
Di Yi naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He mobilized the world of his mind in his sea of consciousness, and the Four Symbols Pearl of the Derivation Realm emitted a faint light. A mark that seemed both real and illusory instantly condensed and flew out from his sea of consciousness.
This seemingly insignificant mark is the Soul-Capturing Mark formed by the first level of the Path of the Mind.
A small mark consumed nearly half of Emperor Yi's 44th-level spiritual power, and its power was naturally extremely terrifying.
The Soul-Capturing Seal can control Martial Souls and Sacred Souls, turning enemies into walking corpses for one's own use.
However, Di Yi did not want to spare the lives of the Xu Sheng clan. This Soul Seal was not for controlling the soul, but for destroying it.
The Soul-Capturing Seal landed on Xu Yunling's martial soul, which was already infinitely close to a Saintly Soul, and melted away instantly like snow meeting boiling water.
"what!"
After a piercing scream, accompanied by the surging power of his martial spirit, Xu Yunling's aura gradually dissipated until he completely lost his life force.
A sacred body that had reached the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon realm actually died just like that.
A scroll of imperial edict flew out from Xu Yunling's body, unleashing the holy power of Xu Sheng, attempting to wrap up Xu Yunling's corpse and take it away.
Xu Yunling is dead and has no value, but the Four Seas Kunpeng Armor he possessed is one of the sacred artifacts passed down through the Xu Sheng Clan, and is extremely important to the Xu Sheng Clan.
How could Emperor Yi let him have his way? Almost the instant the imperial edict of Xu Sheng flew out, he summoned the imperial edict of the Hall Master of Yipin Hall.
The master of Yipin Hall's cultivation level far surpassed that of Xu Sheng, and the holy power contained in the imperial edict he bestowed upon Di Yi was naturally much stronger, easily stopping him.
Ultimately, it was just an imperial edict; without someone in charge, it couldn't unleash its true power.
Separating the imperial edict from Xu Yunling's corpse, Di Yi gathered all his holy energy and unleashed a claw strike towards the void. It wasn't the Hell King's Claw, but rather a mobilization of the power of the Dark Path and the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram, condensing a dark vortex one foot in diameter in the void.
The vortex contains fluctuations of space, death, and other elements, leading to an unknown place.
Emperor Yi inserted Xu Sheng's imperial edict into it, and the endless, cold, deathly aura quickly engulfed the edict.
The Holy Body is synonymous with invincibility within the same realm.
The Kunpeng is an ancient mythical beast with the power to fight gods and demons. The Kunpeng Sacred Body, which is derived from the mythical beast Kunpeng, is definitely not an ordinary being.
If Xu Yunling hadn't been born a few years too late and hadn't been able to compete with the Four Sacred Bodies in the same era, he might not have been weaker than the Four Sacred Bodies back then.
At this moment, Xu Yunling, who stood at the peak of the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon, died at the hands of Di Yi, a rising star. Perhaps the title of the new generation king of the Eastern Region should be removed.
After suppressing the spirit of the Four Seas Kunpeng Armor, Emperor Yi stood in the void, savoring the lingering charm of the Five Elements Divine Demon Body's Dharma form, and had even higher expectations for this special physique that was not recorded in the classics.
Perhaps, its ultimate goal is not just to achieve the strongest physique.
The strongest physique is only relative; there are some special physiques in the universe that surpass even the strongest physique.
Such as the divine embryo of the universe, the innate yin-yang chaotic body...
The Innate Yin-Yang Chaos Body was formed by Zhang Ruochen at the Primordial Singularity, and can be called the number one physique in the entire universe. Di Yi does not expect his Five Elements Divine Demon Body to reach such a level, but it is possible for him to surpass the Five Elements Chaos Body, True God Body, Thousand Bone Body and other ten supreme physiques.
"Wow!"
Supporting the Dharma form of the Five Elements Divine Demon Body, Di Yi unleashed the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm in his Dharma form. One palm print after another fell to the ground like meteorites. With each palm print, one or more Fish-Dragon Realm experts from the Martial Market Money House and the Xiao Sheng Clan perished.
The people in the black market already had the upper hand, and with Di Yi's addition, the battle quickly turned into a rout.
Of the six masters of the Ninth Transformation of the Great Fish-Dragon, three died and two were seriously injured. Only the owner of the Wushi Money House in Fufeng County managed to break through with the help of the Xuan Turtle Shield and disappear into the night.
The Azure-Clad Star Envoy, panting heavily, did not give chase. From beginning to end, Zhao Hanhu and the eight hundred Glazed Knights did not participate in the battle, but lay in ambush all around, waiting for this moment to arrive.
She had initially been somewhat puzzled by Di Yi's arrangement, but now she understood. Looking up at the figure in black robes standing beneath the five-colored divine magic image, she felt a genuine sense of awe for the first time.
In such a short time, this young master has already surpassed her in strength.
Ye Honglei played with the Eight Desolate Axe in her hand. Xiao Chong died under the Flame Dragon Claw, and this Thousand-Patterned Sacred Artifact naturally fell into the hands of the people in the black market.
Looking at the fleeing figures all around, Ye Honglei chuckled and said, "Run away, I'm afraid none of those who came here today will escape."
After throwing Xu Yunling's corpse to Han Qiu, Di Yi transformed into a five-colored stream of light, soaring into the sky, passing through a few thin clouds, and appearing at the same level as Yin Yue Lin Kong and Zi Feng Xing Shi.
Immediately, he struck out with a palm, and the holy energy transformed into a dragon and an elephant, condensing into hundreds of palm prints, which were red and scorching, as if they had unleashed a sky full of crimson clouds.
The crimson palm print pierced through the protective moonlight of the Silver Moon Martial Soul. The yang energy, a hundred times stronger than that of other cultivators of the same realm, surged forth like countless fire dragons and fire elephants, heading straight for the Silver Moon in the sky.
"Thousand-Handed Dragon Elephant?"
"With your cultivation level, you have actually cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to this level."
The silver moon hung in the sky, her silver hair fluttering, her armor and boots reflecting the moonlight. She was knowledgeable and recognized Di Yi's palm technique.
Zi Fengxingshi was a formidable opponent, and when he fought against him, Yin Yuelinkong had no energy to pay attention to other battlefields.
Most martial artists in the Fish-Dragon Realm only master one low-grade Ghost-level martial skill. Being able to cultivate a mid-grade Ghost-level martial skill is already considered to be exceptionally talented.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm is the most renowned palm technique of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect in the Western Regions. The first six palms are not too difficult to cultivate, but the further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes to cultivate. Even a saintly body like Xia Xiongtu, with extremely high palm technique skills, only managed to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm to the eighth palm after immersing himself in the Fish-Dragon Realm for many years.
Di Yi is only a few years old; he has only been in the Fish-Dragon Realm for less than half a year.
The Purple Wind Star Envoy's combat power was far greater than Silver Moon Sky had imagined. In their battle, Silver Moon Sky did not gain much advantage. On the contrary, because the opponent had the Langhuan Golden Bell protecting him, he missed several good opportunities and gradually fell into a passive position.
With Di Yi joining the battle, Yin Yue Lin Kong was forced to fight two opponents at once, and the pressure she faced was unimaginable.
She retracted the Silver Moon Martial Soul into her body, and her entire body of silver armor radiated dazzling holy light. Although her innate Silver Moon Body was not as good as the Holy Body, Silver Moon in the Sky had cultivated it to near perfection, enabling her to absorb the power of the Nine Heavens Bright Moon to empower herself and quickly recover her holy energy and injuries.
"Di Yi, Zi Feng, your strength is indeed remarkable, but you shouldn't have chosen to make your move at night, especially on a full moon night."
With her innate Silver Moon Body, she is at her strongest on the night of the full moon. Bathed in moonlight, her Silver Moon Sky-Piercing power continuously rises, plunging her into a transcendent and sacred state. The silver spear in her hand seems to transform into a spear of judgment, and she herself, except for lacking pure white wings, resembles an angel.
Almost at the same time that Di Yi unleashed the Thousand Hands Dragon Elephant, Yin Yue Lin activated the power of his innate Silver Moon Body, and the Holy Light Divine Martial Mark between his brows became incomparably dazzling, as if a Holy Eye of Light had been opened between his brows.
The air beneath her feet exploded as she swung her silver spear, unleashing the Judgment Spear Technique she had cultivated for twenty years. Holy light swirled around her as she collided with the overwhelming Dragon Elephant Fist Imprint, like the tide rising when a river flows into the sea, the waters of the river and the waters of the sea clashing and surging against each other.
Silver Moon's spear technique was not simple; it was an opportunity she obtained by chance while fighting in a mid-level ruin after leaving the Black Market First-Class Hall.
The spear technique was incomplete, consisting of only three moves, but its power rivaled that of sacred arts. Even with her talent, the blessing of her innate Silver Moon Body and the Holy Light Divine Martial Mark, it still took her twenty years to master it.
"boom!"
As Yin Yue entered the air, the blood energy within her body surged like a great river, and the spear's light caused the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth to tremble. The moonlight within several miles was drained away by her spear.
The hundreds of dragon and elephant palm prints were completely dissipated by this strike.
In an instant, the Purple Wind Star Envoy summoned the Langhuan Golden Bell and used the dragon-patterned spear in his hand to perform a mid-grade ghost-level spear technique. The spear tip swept across the void, bringing with it a sharp whistling sound, like a dragon's roar or a ghost's howl.
Silver Moon descended from the sky, continuing its attack on Emperor Yi with its silver spear, while simultaneously forming a holy light fist seal with its other hand to strike at Purple Wind Star Envoy, intending to confront two formidable enemies at the same time.
Emperor's expression hardened slightly, surprised by Silver Moon's combat power. This was not a level that a primordial Silver Moon Body could reach in the ninth transformation of the Fish-Dragon. Even Xu Yunling, the Holy Body, was not as good as Silver Moon at this moment.
"Something seems off about her?"
Di Yi noticed that Yin Yue Lin Kong's eyes had turned pure white, without the slightest emotion, like a celestial maiden who had stepped out of the Temple of Light, only to cleanse the world of its sins.
Di Yi's figure flashed, as fast as a rainbow, and took the initiative to meet the Silver Moon in the sky, appearing on the other side of her silver spear. All ninety-nine runes on the Ghost King's claws were revived, shrouded in dense dark power, and spread over like a demonic cloud.
The world became dark.
Wow!
The White Tiger Holy Sword was held in one hand and slashed horizontally.
The holy energy aroused the holy power of the holy sword, and the sword's cry echoed between heaven and earth.
[White Emperor's Heavenly Pivot Sword Technique]
The supreme sword technique inherited by the Zhutian Sword lineage, and the signature skill of the Azure Feather Sword Saint.
Emperor Yi only had a superficial understanding of this sword technique, but with his swordsmanship at the tenth level of perfection, combined with his peak level of sword heart clarity, the sword light he unleashed was as sharp as frost and snow, cold and deadly.
As the silver moon descended from the sky, it parried with its spear. The sword and spear clashed, and the cold sword light unleashed its hidden, domineering power the instant it made contact with the spear. Five layers of power, stacked one after another, shook the spear into the sky.
Swordsmen wield a hundred swords, each with its own unique style. Di Yi's sword seeks freedom and unrestraint, and under the influence of this sword intent, his sword techniques are unconventional.
After using the White Emperor's Heavenly Pivot Sword Technique to break through the Silver Moon's attack, he instantly switched to the Fish Intestine Sword Technique, which was little known in the Eastern Divine Land.
The Fish Intestine Sword Technique is a sword of assassination, capable of killing with every step, and its explosive power at close range is extremely impressive.
Silver Moon did not dodge as she descended into the air. With her extensive combat experience, she had a clear understanding of the current situation. Di Yi and Zi Feng Xing Shi were no weaker than her if she did not use her forbidden moves to fight desperately. Now that the two of them were working together, no matter which one she dodged, the other's attack would be enough to kill her.
If we cannot retreat, we can only advance.
"ruling!"
Her dantian trembled, she loosened her grip on the gun, brought her two fingers together, using her fingers as the spear tip and her arm as the shaft, and thrust the spear towards Di Yi's brow.
【real】
The True Word Divine Script instantly condensed into three thousand characters in the Qi Sea, doubling Di Yi's speed and allowing him to dodge Yin Yue's fatal attack amidst her astonished gaze.
The White Tiger Holy Sword sliced across her chest, its sword energy piercing through the uneven, close-fitting armor, leaving a hideous sword mark.
At the same time, Zi Fengxing's spear broke through the fist imprint and pierced into the exposed abdomen of Yin Yue Lin Kong.
Above the battlefield, in this chaotic sky, three completely different terrifying forces were unleashed, as if three half-saint powerhouses were clashing. The aftershocks even shocked the Fish-Dragon Realm martial artists on the ground.
Di Yi unleashed a palm strike, "Flying Dragon in the Sky," which landed on Yin Yue Lin Kong's forehead. The force of the palm strike pierced through her dantian, severely injuring her Yin Yue Martial Soul and scattering her spirit.
【Soul-Capturing Seal】
The spiritual power within his sea of consciousness was instantly drained, condensing into a soul imprint slightly different from the one used to kill Xu Yunling. This imprint was then implanted into the space between Yin Yuelin's eyebrows, merging with his nearly shattered martial soul.
