Chapter 129 - The End (2/2)

On the fourth platform, it was the Yuan Shen combat skill of the [Monster God Ming King Art], strong and dreadful —— with the Yuan Shen, it would enable one to visualize the eight-armed Ming King, wielding weapons in every arm. Even the mortal body would have the eight arms and eight weapons, its combat prowess can only be imagined!

A Rebirth Qi Practitioner could already manipulate the Yuan Shen to facilitate in combat, however, it would only ever be fulfill an ancillary supporting role rather than a crucial one that could turn the scales of battle. That role was reserved for the Combat Yuan Shen. It was merely the icing on a cake. Only the Yuan Shen of the Awakening Qi Practitioner could be considered a Combat Yuan Shen.

However, the [Monster God Ming King] could enable a Qi Practitioner to acquire strength tantamount to that aforementioned strength strong and powerful combat capability at the level of Rebirth!

On the pontoon, all six Qi Practitioners were marching forward with their mortal bodies and Yuan Shens in the eight-armed form, clenching all sorts of weapons in their hands. By now, the totem patterns had already reached a very high level of complexity, requiring the Qi Practitioners to visualize the mortal body skill, psyche visualization, weaponry visualizations, and the Yuan Shen visualization simultaneously — even the tiniest error would cost them their lives!

However, they all survived this round of test.

They reached the fifth platform, where Zhong Yue was finally met with an obstacle. The totem patterns were the chapter that contained the knowledge about the array formations of the [Monster God Ming King Art]. Eight weapons combined into an array formation. Barbarous and wild – the structure of the array formation was very complicated.

The array formation is my weakness, I've yet to have any attainments in regards to array formations.

Zhong Yue's face turned solemn, he had only cultivated for a short while in the Swords Gate, and he had not learned anything at all about array formations nor had he any prior experience in controlling array formations. Controlling an array formation demanded a very strong and sturdy psyche, and the fine ability to meticulously control the psyche.

In order to proceed, one would have to cast the array formation while maintaining the mortal body skill, psyche visualization, weaponry visualizations, and the Yuan Shen visualization at the same time – the difficulty of such a feat could only be imagined!

After a long time, all the other five Qi Practitioners moved, they marched towards the sixth platform. And while Zhong Yue was still comprehending the abstrusity, a deathly cry entered his ears. He looked up only to witness the dead Kong Ban falling down from the pontoon, while Hu Qimei, Yu Xuanji and the other monster Qi Practitioner were bolting backward at a great speed. In such a short while, their bodies were already paved with countless wounds!

Hu Qimei released a cry, followed by the sounds of a lute as she cast it out, forming an array formation with the eight arms and eight weapons. Yu Xuanji took the same measures as her and the both of them were embroiled in a fight for their survival. Meanwhile, on the other side, the third Qi Practitioner was growling in anger. The three of them were struggling to get out of the pontoon!

Krong——

A loud burst sounded out and the Qi Practitioner was crushed by the totem carvings array formation, dying on the spot!

Peng peng——

Hu Qimei and Yu Xuanji had their bones crushed and just as they were about to be pulverized into pieces by the power of the totem carvings, a figure suddenly dashed over! Zhong Yue bolted to their sides, grabbed them on the nape of their necks and launched them back to the platform!

Meanwhile, King Teng let out a furious roar. He had triggered the array formation and in the blink of an eye, was severely wounded as a result. Out of nowhere, a beam of light blasted down from the pontoon —Chi— it penetrated his head, piercing through the divine eye on his forehead!

The light beam went through his head before shooting out from the back of his cranium!

How unexpected… I've already comprehended all the mutations and changes of the array formation but in the end, I failed with the divine eye. Without the true Ming King divine eye, the mutations of the array formation would be incomplete….

King Teng exhaled out a deep breath of air, unexpectedly, he was still not dead. Although the light beam penetrated through his head, but he was still marching forward with all his strength, But sadly, my true form is that of a vine, even beheading me wouldn't kill me at all!

The flesh and meat on his forehead began squirming, and soon, his head fully reformed itself. The array formation on the pontoon was triggered incessantly, blasting hole after hole in King Teng's head. He had already attained and comprehended the whole array formation chapter on the sixth platform, but due to the incomplete divine eye totem on the first platform, there was a flaw in his array formation – namely, his divine eye!

Although his head continued to be blasted open with hole after hole, he was still not dead yet. Mustering all his strength, he began moving towards the sixth platform!

And finally, King Teng had managed to step onto the sixth platform. He spat out a mouthful of blood dark-green in color before sitting down in the lotus position to attend to his wounds.

"Brother Long Yue, it's now only you and me!"

King Teng scrutinized the sixth platform, there was a wall that was inscribed with some techniques but it was smashed into bits. His heart thumped in shock and he turned his head back, gazing at Zhong Yue who was still on the fifth platform. He said nonchalantly, "The heritage of the sixth stage was already wiped away, seems like it'll be useless to stay here. Brother Long Yue, I'll wait for you in the Ming King palace!"

Zhong Yue continued on attaining the abstrusity of the array formation totem patterns, completely ignoring his words. Whereas Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei were on the side, vomiting blood due to their heavy injuries. They sat down and began recuperating from their wounds. Moments later, they stood up and Hu Qimei shook her head, saying, "This stage, without the Ming King divine eye, it'd be impossible to make it. It seems like King Teng is the one fated to the heritage of the Monster God Ming King."

"The heritage on the sixth platform was destroyed, the two of you have already managed to acquire the same heritage as the saint city lord."

Zhong Yue comforted them, "It would probably be of the same amount of heritage that the saint city lord had acquired back then."

Hu Qimei shook her head and said, "The saint city lord has already entered the palace, he has seen the Ming King's true body. The heritage he received must be the completed one."

"Not really."

Zhong Yue's eyes flashed, and he whispered lowly, "Say, who do you think it was that destroyed the monster god Ming King's heritage? Would the same entity have destroyed the Ming King's mortal body?"

Yu Xuanji's heart skipped a beat, he said, "You are saying that?"

"Ming King's mortal body ... I'm afraid it has already been eaten by that creature that had crawled out of this place."

Zhong Yue's thirst for combat was fervent, "But I'd still go to the end and see for myself. King Teng wants to compete with me, to determine who the strongest among the monster Rebirth Qi Practitioners is. And I'd also like to know, between him and myself, who would reign supreme!"
