Chapter 178 - This Brat Must Die (1/2)
The celestial temple quaked for a slight second, Zhong Yue was shocked to see that only a shallow palm mark was left on the wall surface, What a strong building! Indeed worthy as the celestial temples of Shan Shen Celestial Race, they are carved with various totem patterns to strengthen themselves to a point even stronger than soul weapons!
Although it was not his full strength, it must not to be underestimated either; the ordinary soul weapons would not even remain intact if he had struck them instead of the wall. His strength as it was now was able to easily shatter them to pieces.
The same strike could have ruined the whole celestial temple if it were not for the totem patterns that had reinforced the temple!
And yet, there was only a shallow palm mark on the temple wall, which strongly suggested that although the celestial temples were only created by the Wan Xiang Realm, the totem patterns on the walls were in fact, the genuine totem patterns of the Shan Shen celestial temple – this lent it incredible augmentations in its defensive abilities!
The Shan Shen celestials were four-armed stone giants – masters in the arts of defense. Their celestial temples were strong and firm, and could be considered as one of the strongest reinforced bunkers in the world!
Even though the simulated celestial temples replicated by the secret realm were not as strong the real ones, they were still magnificent.
Zhong Yue circumnavigated the whole battlefield to scout the terrain. From time to time, he would clench onto the mountain rocks to determine their hardness, surged his psyche into the ground and inspected the hardness of the soil, and fly into the air to feel the flow of the winds. After he was done with his reconnaissance, with a slight flicker of his body, he was back at the tip of a celestial temple.
Xiao Jin's heart stiffened up as she watched him carrying out reconnaissance on the battlefield. She started to regret her words, now wanting to do the same, but her pride was stopping her. Just when she was hesitating, the white-robed priest said, "Time's up, the battle starts … Now!"
Just as the words came out from his mouth, a loud boom reverberated in the air. Two palms slammed onto one another as the battlers clashed together. Right away, a raging storm was raised in the whole secret realm!
It was different from the previous battle between Qiu Jin'er and Xiao Chuwen; the battle between Zhong Yue and Xiao Jin had turned white-hot right at the start, the duo clashed onto one another, and the powers contained within their mortal bodies erupted out with impunity!
Their overpowering strengths erupted waves after waves of compressive force, trembling the air, and distorting the visions of the audiences.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen started casting the [Seventh Sword Style], the seven sword silks were shot up from the bottom right at Xiao Jin, planning to entrap her into the sword array; while Xiao Jin's Yuan Shen quickly manipulated her Wu Xing Wheel and slammed down, suppressing the five elemental Sword Qi, breaking off the [Seventh Sword Style]!
What a brilliant lady!
Zhong Yue's heart stiffened up, he had once killed a Xiao Mang celestial with the [Seventh Sword Style], but who knew this Xiao Jin would be able to spot the flaw in his [Seventh Sword Style] and suppress the five elemental Sword Qi with her Wu Xing Wheel, easily breaking off the sword array!
"A little brat that didn't even know what luck he had that allowed him to open the five realms, even more so, they are all so small and petty. How dare you even challenge me? Wan Xiang Wheel, the almighty power of myriads!"
Xiao Jin sneered coldly, the Wan Xiang Wheel revolved on her back, immediately, a strong surge of power gushed out from her Yuan Shen into her body. She was tiny and petite compared to her fellow celestials, but as the power flooded through her mortal body, the power it imbued within her caused her muscles to bulge out, and her once charming countenances now deformed into monstrous faces that were criss-crossed with a grotesque network of veins that crawled across them!
Her limbs grew strong and sturdy, and her chests puffed out like a baboon. Her skin seemed to be bubbling as fist-sized meatballs of muscle crawled under her skin!
Pang pang pang!
The exquisite clothes that adorned her previously lithe body were stretched over their limit and torn apart, exposing eight breasts on her chest that were lined in four rows. Before this, her once hourglass-shaped body was extremely alluring but it was now a grotesque amalgamation of bulging muscle.
As of now, the figure of the charming lady Xiao Jin was no more, not even the most heavily-built man could contend with her muscular stature!
Xiao Jin launched out a punch and Zhong Yue lifted his hand to fend it off. Immediately, he was sent flying into the air like a meteor —Krong!— he crashed onto the temple wall, quaking the celestial temple, and cracked the surface of the wall!
Xiao Jin bent her legs and sprung out —Krong!— leaving two deep footsteps behind as she landed on the street floors, forming web-like fissures with herself as the epicenter!
"Human, you're very proud of your mortal body, aren't you? But do you even realize, that we, the celestials, possess the strongest mortal bodies?!"
Her three heads growled deeply and her voices mingled together into a strange and eerie choir. Then, black scales emerged from beneath her skin, reflecting a dark-gold luster. They covered her whole body as she marched over towards Zhong Yue who was still embedded in the wall surface!
"In front of me, your mortal body, is just a clown's joke!"
Zhong Yue again raised his arms to defend as she slammed her palm down —Krong!— another loud boom, and a human-shaped hole was created on the temple wall. She slammed Zhong Yue through the wall into the celestial temple!
"What an incredibly powerful mortal body!"
Outside of the secret realm, Lei Teng and the other three Awakening Qi Practitioners' faces changed drastically; Xiao Jin'er mortal body was too strong, especially after she was augmented with the almighty power of the Wan Xiang Realm. Her mortal body had now ventured into a whole new level!
Zhong Yue was definitely a Qi Practitioner that was proficient in the arts of the mortal body, and yet, he was as powerless as a sheep in front of her!
"Yin Yang Wheel!"
Xiao Jin yelled out, her voices rumbled like thunder. The Yin Yang Wheel behind her Yuan Shen revolved rapidly —Wong!— marks appeared on the palm and the back of her hands.
"Do you even know what Yin Yang is?"
Xiao Jin sneered coldly, she strode through the human-shaped hole into the celestial temple. The marks on her hands were oddly patterned, the ones in her palms were patterned like scorching suns, while the ones on the back were bright moons, "On one side of my hands, I control life; while on the other, I command death. Both life and death are within my grasp. This is the abstrusity of the Yin Yang Wheel – the [Yin Yang Mark]!"
Krong! — Krong krong krong! ——
A loud boom came from inside of the celestial temple, then followed by a series of loud noises. One after another, the walls crumbled as Zhong Yue was blasted away, finally coming to a stop after a crashing through a few walls.
