Chapter 193 - Herculean Vs Deluge Realm (2) (2/2)

The space begged for mercy.

The realm quaked in fear.

Yan Zaizen, with all of his lifeforce energy, shot outwards with his all. With a speed that could run laps on light itself, he appeared before Yu Shi with eyes filled with the greatest desire to see another's death he had ever made.

He had moved so fast that his skin ripped from his body. For every yard moved, his skin would be removed. However, that skin would be repaired just as fast. By the time he reached Yu Shi, he had left behind a skin-like trail that seemed like a set of countless shadows or afterimages.

Yan Zaizen had moved faster than his body could withstand.

”What the fu-” Yu Shi's madness was completely eclipsed by his fear. He instinctively retreated but Yan Zaizen's fist shrouded by white light rumbled forward with earth-shattering force.

The weakness of igniting the heavenly essence in one's heavenly shrine was the second of weakness where they no longer had it. Without ample preparation beforehand, doing so would only leave yourself open for a strike.

”Wai-” Yu Shi felt intense regret. He wanted to speak up to delay Yan Zaizen. Perhaps if he could do so, he could finish his ignition and end this freak! Even to the last millisecond of his life, his desire for the realmship and Lang Xue was greater than anything else. Even his life.

BOOM!!!

The incoming world-crushing fist landed heavily on Yu Shi's body. An explosion thundered. The shockwaves turned his physical body and soul into dust. In his eyes, the madness of desire remained.

On this day, Yu Shi's Dao vanished.

”...” Yan Zaizen's chest heaved up and down in exhaustion. He felt an intense sensation of a deadly crisis at the ignition of a three-floor heavenly shrine. That last movement consumed over ninety percent of his lifeforce energy, including all the excess. He felt exhausted physically.

”The battle between experts are determined in blinks. Under those circumstances, even a fourth-floor Heavenly Genesis expert could've died instantly.” Pinaka reminded.

”It's unfortunate that I couldn't use you. With my cultivation base been too low, this level of opponent truly is too much.” Yan Zaizen commented, waving his hand to obtain Yu Shi's heavenly shrine. Two pillars were half destroyed. He tapped it, sending all of Yu Shi's precious possessions into the Meteor Ring.

Pinaka once informed him that Heavenly Genesis experts store their things within their shrines. They seem to be in an isolated space that only the wielder could access. Luckily, without Yu Shi being connected to it, he could access it with relative ease.

It was because of this ability that he didn't realize initially that Yu Shi brought out an armament core for his formation. It was so seamlessly done that it was as if the realm's frozen rain gathered to a single point.

With a heavy sigh, he looked towards the deteriorating realm formation shield and dim planets. He reminded himself to never fight a Realmlord again in his home ground. If Yu Shi didn't have a projectile armament, if he didn't suffer a heavy backlash, if he decided to fight patiently instead of igniting his shrine, if Yan Zaizen didn't have soul energy fast and strong enough to isolate the armament, if, if, if.

Yan Zaizen felt that things could've gone differently if any variable changed.

Luckily, it didn't.

He felt so sore. His skin shredded itself so many times that if he counted, he wouldn't finish in a year. The pain was intense that his body quivered slightly with every movement.

He waved his hand, bringing out Lang Xue. Her eyes were dim. Yan Zaizen saw this and couldn't help but check out this woman once more. He shook his head, he felt that fate was an odd thing. If Bai Lufeng had never begged for her life, Yan Zaizen would've left and been caught in an ambush. Who knew what Yu Shi had prepared. Maybe another formation, or perhaps he intended to utilize the entire realm to kill him.

When he thought of the entire realm, the sun and giant moon didn't do anything impressive. He felt ninety-nine percent sure that those two things would've joined the assault. If so, could he have won?

However, because of Bai Lufeng, he purchased her and caused Yu Shi to reveal his intent earlier than expected. This led to Yan Zaizen fighting in a different position.

He felt that both this girl and Bai Lufeng had saved his life. As for Bai Lufeng, this was the second time he had done so.

”What was your heavenly shrine attribute?” Yan Zaizen asked.

”Saber…” She answered emotionlessly.

Yan Zaizen checked Yu Shi's contents. With a wave of his hand, he brought out a one-floor Heavenly Shrine, ”here.” He placed it in front of her chest.

”This?!” Her emotionless and dim eyes revealed life and excitement as she recognized the structure. It was a single sword that towered to the heavens atop a crescent foundation.

She grabbed it and immediately reconnected with it. As it was originally hers, it only took a second before it was re-established into her dantian. The moment she did, the energy in the shrine gave her a boost in physical strength.

She was once more whole. With a single breath, her heavenly shrine helped her refine the outside essence into true-essence mixed with a heavenly aura. Her heavenly aura and power to rip through space recovered in a short few seconds.

Her beautifully eyes regained its fierce quality, she looked towards Yan Zaizen with a squinted, scrutinizing gaze. ”Why?”

Yan Zaizen chuckled helplessly at her question. ”You may not realize it, but you helped me greatly. Now, let's get that treasure!” He waved his hand to bring out the realmship with Tao and Bai Lufeng.

”What? What about Yu Shi?” She questioned, looking around to see the mess of the realm. Space was chaotic and distorted, trying to resume its normal state, but the damage was extensive. After all, Yan Zaizen had collapsed the realm ruthlessly with each step.

Yu Shi was more cautious and careful towards the realm state, but Yan Zaizen didn't care.

”Hm? He's dead.” With that, he got on the realmship, ”let's go.” He truly wished to go, his body was incredibly exhausted and his soul suffused severe drain from stopping that attack for even that brief period of time.

”...” Her mind went blank for a second and then her expression revealed a hint of horror. What was the concept of killing a Realmlord in their own Realm?! She shivered and realized that Yan Zaizen had extraordinary strength.

Her eyes shined brilliantly with intelligence. Later, it flickered with an unfathomable light. She stepped onto the realmship with hesitation no longer in her gaze. ”That way.” She calmly pointed towards one of the water planets.
