Chapter 293 Listen Using Your Qi and Not Your Mind (1/2)
Clearly, the two of them were still fighting for their lives against each other. Shen Lian continuously threw in different methods, one after another, just like the clouds that were constantly changing its shape.
In a trance, the battle had become a game for Shen Lian. In this soon to be ended match, he seemed to be winning it with skill and ease. It seemed that after a grand finale, he would feel a sense of withdrawal.
The Dao was concentrated but senseless while the mana was oblivious to oneself.
In no time, Shen Lian was able to exert all sorts of methods effortlessly as his will, just like an antelope hanging up its horn, showing zero traces and effort. He was literally poetry in motion.
Back then, Shen Lian would use the ideomotor reflex to cast spells but this time around, he could easily summon different methods just like a flowing stream of water that showed no sign of stagnancy.
He did not push his powers to the maximum but the attack timing was perfect and every punches and blow came out smoothly.
The vitality of the heaven and earth are one with Shen Lian. They are inseparable and they respond to him accordingly. The state of being one with heaven was the key to opening the doors of immortality. It was exactly what Bai Suhuan has been chasing after and it would have been a dream come true for him.
He genuinely felt that Shen Lian was so close to breakthrough Xuwang while he, although seemed like a step away but was actually ten thousand miles of eternity.
Bai Suhuan was miserably gutted by Shen Lian's attack but there was nothing much he could do about it.
Shen Lian became one with heaven as his Taixu entered Dao and he went into a state of oblivion. He held on to every hint of Dao senses and bind into one with all of it. Or in Daoism term, ”Listen with your Qi and not your mind.”
As Shen Lian assembled the millions of methods and techniques together, the nothingness convulsed. Colored rays representing the five Qi elements - green, yellow, red, black and white, intertwined and condensed into one beam of five colored light right in front of Shen Lian, and that beam went straight to Bai Suhuan.
Bai Suhuan was clearly taken aback but he did not want to be defeated just like that. He summoned the moon with the force strong enough to break mountains and rivers to attack Shen Lian.
However, although the moon cuts like a knife and was able to separate between the heaven and earth, it could not cut through this five colored beams The beam was strong, sturdy, it was unbreakable.
His ultimate method, Time Waits for No Man, had zero effect against the five colored beam. This was because Shen Lian had come to the realization of the five elements of Dao. Even if time was ruthless and could turn anything into ashes, the five elements were resourceful and changing endlessly. It will never run out of life.
The Daoist form of the moon crushed as every inch of it was rolled over by the five colored beam. Bai Suhuan certainly did not see this coming but how things would end after this fight was really not up to him. This was because no matter how highly he estimated Shen Lian, Shen Lian's cultivation progress was far beyond his prediction.
After taking continuous blows, blood started flowing out from the border of Bai Suhuan's lips.
While the Daoist form of the moon was rolled over, Shen Lian gathered the Mark of Mountain and River as his magnificent Qi dynamics erupted. Shen Lian remained focus when using this method and naturally, that increased his combat power by many times as he unsympathetically aimed at Bai Suhuan. This terrifying endless streams of mana shook the nothingness. The Qi around the atmosphere was daunting to the maximum, giving out a sense of despair and helplessness.
The illusion of the majestic Mark of Mountain and River appeared from nothingness and landed on the crown of Bai Suhuan's head. It pressed on him firmly and knocked him down.
The protective shield crumbled as Bai Suhuan was stricken down from a lofty altitude. As he was traveling downwards at rapid speed, he combusted into a long strand of fireworks, just like a comet. He plunged into the ocean and a blasting sound could be heard, causing monstrous waves.
Shen Lian did not stop right there and instead dived downwards.
The Taixu Strategy was one of the most brilliant martial exercise in the world of Dao as it touches the Yin Yang five Dao elements and it was almost an ultimate martial exercise in the human world.
As it involved the original form of Dao and the million methods of the world, as long as one learned it, they could easily apply it. But once they mastered it, the would not touch on any other methods.
Shen Lian continuously throws out light with both of his palms and it hits the surface of the vast ocean as the water evaporates to reveal Bai Suhuan. He looked sluggish with his green robe tattered and he just could not stop throwing up blood. He was severely injured by Shen Lian.
Shen Lian did not intend to stop because he knew that he cannot give any opportunity to his opponent to breathe.
