Chapter 616 - Arts Against Arts, Skills Against Skills (1/2)

The demon gods stiffened up their face, and the ambiance grew suppressing. Zhong Yue has merely just raised a finger to kill Chan Fangzhen; such prowess was already partially in the domain of gods!

Just imagine it, what would become of the competition if a demon god was one of the participants?

Although Shi Buyi was shocked as well, it was not surprising at all. It took them four years to arrive here from the Ancestral Star, and during this four years, Zhong Yue didn't waste not even a single second.

Achieving the Imminent Deity level was beyond guaranteed to him, but he has been suppressing his cultivation base because he has no intention of ascending into the next level without cultivating the Innate True Soul.

He was literally just one step away from cultivating the Innate True Soul, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier coming from the heaven and earth that stopped him from achieving it.

However, there was no doubt that he was already in the domain of the gods as he had clearly demonstrated the qualities of a god—cutting through space.

The ability to cut through space was a clear line that divided the Qi Practitioners and gods.

The demigods can break into the space but wouldn't be able to cut through it. For example, Zhong Yue had pulled out a godly spirit from the space rift in the Divine Battlefield.

Whereas the ability to break into the space and cut out through another end could only be achieved by the gods!

Hence, it was evident to the demon gods that Zhong Yue has the prowess of a god!

"Shi Buyi, is he really your disciple?" Chan Dongyuan's face turned darkly as he said frigidly, "He is no weaker than you at all!"

Shi Buyi was feeling helpless deep in his heart, but remained placid ostensibly as he answered, "It's fairly common for the disciple to surpass his teacher, isn't it?"

"A True Spirit Qi Practitioner who possess the godlike powers, even the Sun Moon Twin Spirits couldn't have done it! Such a talent, do you think I will believe that you are the one that taught him?"

Shi Buyi's face quickly turned solemn, "He is really my disciple, I can swear to the Realm Lord! If I lied, I will never be able to reborn for eternal!"

The demon gods were moved, and they commented, "If he dares to make such a grave vow, then he must be telling the truth!"

Indeed, Shi Buyi was not lying at all. Zhong Yue had personally picked up the identity of Long Yue during the early days and was taken in as the closed door disciple by Shi Buyi. It was only after he has cultivated the [Mystic Duplication Technique] that he created a dragon incarnation to take over as the identity of Long Yue.

Whichever way, it was not a lie that Zhong Yue was his disciple, which was why he dared to make such grave vow to the Realm Lord.

"His power is strong enough to be in the top ten." An old demon god said in a quivering voice, "Seems like our Little Friend Shi Buyi here is going to win."

What? Master Zhong's godlike power is not even the strongest?

Shi Buyi was shocked and he exclaimed, "Are there still cultivators stronger than him?"

"Without doubt." The same old demon god replied, "The Left Fang Galaxy has many talented Qi Practitioners as well. The strongest and most talented one was Li Tianxing. Other than him, there is also a reincarnated demon emperor, the Reverse Emperor who killed more than countable living beings. Even the Realm Lord treats him with equal statuses. He only reincarnated himself because his life is running out. Emerald Heaven Dharma King even said that he is strong enough to compete with the other Six Paths Worlds' experts."

Shi Buyi's heart sterned up.

"There is also a pair of twins, Bi and An, they have already reincarnated for nine times." The old god lowered his head and continued, "These two are real incredible, every time they reincarnate, they will always reborn as a pair of twins. They might have something greater shrouding around their fate that stopped even the Six Paths Reincarnations from altering the conditions of their rebirths. Even the Emerald Heaven Dharma King has been exceptionally good to them, the drunken Emerald Heaven Dharma King once said they are possibly two strong gods from a higher world that descend into the lower realms to experience a hundred lives, an ancient ritual known as the Renascence Within A Hundred Tribulations. Every reincarnation was a new round of tribulation. As for who are this Bi and An, and what kind of cultivation they are at, even the Dharma King dare not question further."

Shi Buyi was even more shocked.

Whereas on the other hand, a demon god said, "Other than them, there is also Emerald Heaven Dharma King's most treasured son, Prince Shi Yun. Although he is the reincarnate of the crown prince, Emerald Heaven Dharma King still took him as his son, showering him with unlimited resources. The other nine experts might fall out from the list of top ten, but Prince Shi Yun will definitely be in the list!"

"Also, there is a lady, Zhen Yao. She was said to be an undying existence whose soul has been tumbling in the Six Paths Reincarnations for over 50 thousand years."

"Then, there is also a consort to the Realm Monarch who was banished to the Prison Realm. Hehe, this alluring Consort Han belongs to the Realm Monarch, no one dares to touch her. Furthermore, no one knows if this was a chance Realm Monarch has created to free her out from the Prison Realm."

The more Shi Buyi knows, the more shocked he gets. A few moments later, he gave a cold sneer and criticized, "Seven out of the ten slots are taken up, doesn't that mean our disciples are all just fighting for only three slots?"

"It's already good enough to have three slots. We are weak and can do nothing other than accept it." The old god replied, "I heard that some of the other galaxies have their ten slots decided even before the competition. Making the competition to be nothing but just a show of strength by the ten defaulted candidates! Furthermore, the candidates of the seven slots are all powerful themselves."
