Chapter 570 Counter Attack (1/2)

When two highly skilled cultivators fight, the process would be very long unless one of them was being restrained. Shen Lian came prepared but he did not expect their fight to last this long.

Although the layers of wind and rain were not destroyed by Emperor Xia's oppressive Qi dynamics, it did not hold Emperor Xia back. The power of Shen Lian's enormous Primordial Spirit was spread throughout the void and penetrated every single pore to test the divine Qi of every orifices point of Emperor Xia's body.

Unfortunately, Emperor Xia's Qi dynamics was deeply sealed and Shen Lian had no chance to seep through. Even if his spirits and physical body were not combined in the most perfect condition, he was still a divine power figure and things seemed to play out to his favor.

In the water-like sky above the moon, Emperor Xia and Shen Lian's power showed no signs of diminishing. The confrontation was overwhelming as if they needed to put an end to things on that night.

The portrait of Shen Lian's Primordial Spirit instantiated. Behind him was the bright moon and below his feet was the clouds. It was a bright scene.

On the other hand, Emperor Xia who was far away in the void had no signs of glow around him. When the moonlight approached him, his enormous Qi dynamics would distort it and it eventually vanished.

To Shen Lian, Emperor Xia was like a bottomless black hole that would absorb everything surrounding him to vitalize his divine form. If Shen Lian to stand near Emperor Xia, his Primordial Spirit too would be absorbed. This made it difficult for him to estimate Emperor Xia's true depth.

Besides that, Emperor Xia had the special ability to recover in a split second regardless of how much power he used. He was like an inexhaustible river.

It was up to that moment that Shen Lian realized how difficult it would be to defeat Emperor Xia. It was no wonder that someone as strong as the demon lord, too, fell to Emperor Xia. Moreover, his inexhaustible strength was sufficient for him to gain victory in single challenges and group fights. It was not too ambitious for him to say that he could tame the world with one strike.

If it was not for Shen Lian's Art of Spiritual Enhancement that helped him gather endless heart and soul power by visualizing Lord Lingbao, he would not have recovered from the damage of his Primordial Spirit so quickly. Also, if the battle prolonged further, he would have the lower hand.

Fortunately, Shen Lian passed the most critical phase. When his avatar was destroyed, his divine Qi was somewhat affected. Emperor Xia noticed the disunity in the Qi and took advantage of it. But Emperor Xia did not expect that Shen Lian would be capable of diverting him and make use of this very brief moment to rejuvenate his divine Qi. This was despite Shen Lian's involvements in the Dao of Yi not being as deep as Guan Longzi.

This was the inevitable result of Shen Lian's actions of destroying the Lamp of Yin and Yang, causing serious injuries to Guan Longzi. Afterall, even if Shen Lian was in perfect form, Guang Longzi's Lamp of Yin and Yang would still have distracted him. Unless Shen Lian had attained the state of Taiyi, it would difficult for him to escape from this trial. If he was lucky, he would be suppressed but if luck was not on his side, all his Dao achievements would perish.

Fortunately, the possibility of the worst case scenario was eliminated. This was Shen Lian's chance to build a reputation and shake the Netherworld. For that to happen, he took his important first step of challenging destiny.

Shen Lian wanted to teach Emperor Xia a lesson as much as Emperor Xia wanted to kill Shen Lian. But things were more difficult for Shen Lian as he wanted Emperor Xia to reap from the lesson. In other words, he needed to control his force so that Emperor Xia would not die from the battle as that would benefit Yinshang.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

After all, Shen Lian's foundations were not strong enough to build a strong force immediately after the fall of Emperor Xia to rewrite the destiny of Yinshang replacing Xia. Things would be too easy for Yinshang and Tianyi would use this opportunity to attain Taiyi and become a figure like the founder of Xia Kingdom, Si Wenming.

The more difficult the task, the more accomplished one would feel. To someone like Shen Lian, the feeling of accomplishment was more effective than any elixir in the world.
