Vol 20 Chapter 8 (1/2)

Book 20, Jindan Upgrade, Chapter 8 – A Surviving Empyrean God

“You are too weak Too weak!” The golden yaksha’s frenzied voice echoed throughout the heavens as he onceafter Ji Ning and assaulting him repeatedly

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ning was knocked flying backwards repeatedly, so backwards in rather pathetic fashi+on He was at a definite, absolute disadvantage

“You are really weak…but your body’s pretty tough My [SeaGod Yaksha] is incredibly strong, but you are able to easily absorb this type of punishhing wildly

His words were correct; any ordinary Eht-Nine Arcane Art] would’ve long ago been destroyed by now

But if he didn’t have the [Eight-Nine Arcane Art], Ning wouldn’t have dared to choose this style of fighting either!

“He’s very strong and incredibly fast, but his agility is average His combat techniques are all quite ordinary” Over the course of this battle, Ning quickly deduced his foe’s strengths and weaknesses “When fighting against him, I can’t just take him head on I have to use the intricacies of my sword-arts to deal with him”

Whoosh

Ning suddenly burst forth froolden yaksha which was in hot pursuit of him

“Coh Ning’s eyes It was time to counterattack

Instantly, a total of 729 swords appeared out of nowhere These swords all undulated in different ’s chest, a jade sword began to take forreat The only reason why Ning was able to use the ninth stage of the [Greater Thousand Swords Formation] was entirely because he had fourth-level heartforce and a soul heartforce technique

This jade sword that wasswords It’s poas definitely not weaker than Ning’s when using the [Starseizing Hand]!

“Go” Ning pointed towards the distant Yaksha

“Ahahaha, he’s actually using an Ihed wildly, continuing to crush forward He didn’t care if Ning was going to use close coe in power, he was crush Ning with overwhel force

Swish

The jade sword struck out towards the golden yaksha, seeking to avoid the yakshas defenses, but the yaksha was si block with the steel warfork was able to block in ti’ sound, the jade sas instantly destroyed, while the golden yaksha merely paused for a moment in midair

“Even the ninth stage of the [Greater Thousand Swords Forhtly? It seems I’ll have to use heartforce” A second jade sword ’s body, and his invisible heartforce surged into it The power of the second jade sword instantly rose, transfor it on a qualitative level

Fourth stage heartforce, in and of itself, was far e [Greater Thousand Swords Formation]

When using fourth stage heartforce, Ning would be able to reach the apex of power possible for Empyrean Gods and True Immortals for a short period of time The only difference was that the likes of Redsnoould be able to fight at that level for a sustained period of ti would only be able to do so briefly

“It’s useless That tiny bit of power you have is usel-…” The golden yaksha was roaring with savage laughter as he pounced towards Ning

The jade sword transformed into a blur It seeolden yaksha actually reached jade sword, the speed of the jade sword suddenly increased dramatically The heartforce within it exploded forth with full power!

The upgraded jade sword becaolden yaksha The golden yaksha tried to block it, but his combat techniques were simply too weak

SLAsh!+

[Brightmoon] sword-art, Shadowless stance!

The jade sword sliced through the golden yaksha’s body in a bizarre, unpredictable h this body was very close to that of a True God, it actually wasn’t enhanced by any body-protecting divine ability at all assaulted by the incredibly sharp jade sword…it was instantly chopped in half

Ning, however, reolden yaksha was able to easily dissolve and coalesce his body, or even to completely transform it into liquid He probably wouldn’t die that easily In addition, Ning could sense that his foe’s aura remained incredibly powerful

The two halves of the bisected golden yaksha’s body suddenly transformed into a flood of water The enormous flood of water spun inapart into countless smaller streams of water that flew everywhere Once they touched the surface of the sea, the streams once more transformed into many jade yakshas, a total of 519 of them

“You were actually able to injure h this section that I guard” The 519 jade yakshas stood atop the sea, staring towards Ning and speaking together in a strange voice “However, I auardians which Master left behind Those ancient fellows are all more powerful than me If you want to survive thee that you are lacking in power Hahaha…”

Laughing in a shrill, ear-piercing manner, the 519 jade yakshas all flew in different directions, quickly disappearing fro’s field of vision

Ning just silently stood there in midair for a moment

“Co swords all returned to his body

“Just the weakest guardian, withsoftly to his here

“Even the sole person to leave this place, Buddha Jue the Pri the era of the Three Real mused to himself “Clearly, Undermoon Lake isn’t so easily traversed The very first opponent I encountered was able to force me to use heartforce to beat him The rest will be even harder”

Swoosh!+

Ning once more boarded the Ruyi Soulsnake Shuttle and continued to advance along the path of the floating wooden bridge

After flying for uely able to make out an extremely beautiful island far off in the distance The wooden bridge was leading towards this island as well

“What a lovely island” Ning quickly arrived at the island and took a close look at it The natural energy surrounding the island had all beenthis island to be perpetually blanketed in falling snow The island itself was very beautiful as well, and at the center of it was a beautiful palace that was at least three thousand h
