Chapter 1100 - Three Strikes (1/2)
Chapter 1100: Three Strikes
Zhong Yue was panting heavily and looked up at the incoming Panhu monarch spirits. In the Great Six Paths Reincarnation, his strength was equivalent to that of a Ghost Monarch. He thought he would be able to contend with the monarch spirits, but now, it seemed like there was still a huge gap between their prowesses!
To the Heavenly Monarchs that ruled, the prowess of a Ghost Monarch wasn’t even qualified to stand against them. Although Zhong Yue had boosted his atman’s prowess to that of a Ghost Monarch, he was still much weaker than the Panhu monarch spirits.
“The second.”
Five light wheels turned behind the Panhu monarch spirit’s head. In his nine eyes, there were also images of five light wheels turning. He said placidly, “Most of the races that exist can only open 5 secret realms, but those of the Panhu Clan are gifted with the ability to open 15. Although the extra secret realms are still the same type of secret realms as the Dao Yi, Yin Yang, Shen Cai, Wan Xiang, and Wu Xing, 15 secret realms alone have allowed us to stand above all other races. The skill I am about to unleash is known as the [Great Wu Xing Heavenly Amplification]. During my reign, no one has ever managed to counter it.”
Divine lights brimmed out of his nine eyes and the lights morphed into 45 light wheels. The light wheels were turning rapidly, buzzing as they flew out to at Zhong Yue!
Zhong Yue was shocked, he quickly swung the innate divine saber. Every light wheel had its own power of the five different secret realms. When all forty-five light wheels were coming down at him, Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen was distorted and nearly got diminished!
“Open!”
He continuously slashed out the saber at the light wheels. The totem patterns and Dao structures of the light wheels were changing so rapidly that he couldn’t see clearly. No matter how strong his [Dao Crusher] was, he couldn’t find a single flaw in the light wheels. The damage he had done would always be recovered in the matter of split seconds!
Whereas his arcane energy was depleting quickly and his connections to the Daos of heaven and earth were also faltering. Soon, he would be killed by the monarch spirit’s skill!
“Seven Paths Reincarnation, open!”
The heaven and earth trembled and Zhong Yue disappeared from the coverage of the light wheels. The Space Secret Realm was activated and he warped himself out from the [Great Wu Xing Heavenly Amplification], evading the monarch spirit’s attack.
The Panhu monarch spirit was surprised. He looked up and saw the sky separated into seven segments. In each segment, there was a Zhong Yue that was slashing down at him!
“Seven Paths Reincarnation? Space Reincarnation?”
Panhu monarch spirit was in awe, he praised, “Your secret realm is really incredible, it has many amazing uses. You’ve used your Seven Paths Reincarnation to make seven of you attack me. Splendid. No wonder my descendants summoned five of us monarch spirits to descend just for you.”
Seven Zhong Yues were attacking from the Seven Paths Reincarnation. By the looks of it, there were seven of them, but they were actually just one. It was hard for the others to comprehend but not the paragons like the Panhu monarch spirit.
To put it shortly, it was like Zhong Yue was standing in front of seven mirrors that were stacked together. When he reached his hand for the mirrors, his hand would have passed through all seven mirrors.
If each mirror were a world and the seven worlds were superimposed together. Whoever was in the mirror would see seven Zhong Yues reaching their hands out into the worlds.
In addition to the Seven Paths Reincarnation, it was possible to have seven Zhong Yues attacking the Panhu monarch spirit.
“The third strike!”
Panhu monarch spirit suddenly burst up, the Five Paths Reincarnation behind his three heads suddenly merged together. The 15 light wheels combined into one and his aura spiked as he lashed out his attack at the skies!
In just one strike, Zhong Yue’s Seven Paths Reincarnation twisted away and collided with one another. Seven Zhong Yues were squeezed together back into one.
Meanwhile, a sword ray flashed in the sky and a huge head rolled down from the sky. Other than the head, there was also a headless corpse!
The Panhu monarch spirit kept his skill and said placidly, “You still lost, you didn’t block my third strike. But as a Deity Overlord, to be able to drag me into this bizarre world and parry two strikes from me, you are more than qualified to be proud of yourself than anyone else… Huh?”
The huge head rolled to his feet and when he looked down at it, Panhu monarch spirit’s face changed slightly. The head was actually a black wok!
“This… the saint herb, Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom?”
His facial expression turned funny to look at. He quickly looked up and saw the headless body turning into a huge mushroom with many black woks on its cap.
His killing blow did land on Zhong Yue, but at the moment of death, the saint herb had taken the hit in Zhong Yue’s place and switched his life at the cost of one of its caps!
What the killing blow truly killed was just a mushroom cap!
A hand clenched on the Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom and disappeared. Then, the Panhu monarch spirit saw the Great Six Paths Reincarnation dispersing and they returned to the real world. Zhong Yue was holding on the saint herb and tucking it away in his Yuan Shen secret realms.
“Senior, three strikes are over,” Zhong Yue cleared his throat and said.
The Panhu monarch spirit gazed back deeply for a second. Then, he moved back into the Void World while saying, “A phoenix drenched in water is still, after all, a mighty phoenix. Fuxi, I will keep my promise. You can leave now. But…”
His voice echoed from afar, “We may meet again. At that time, revealing the Nine Lives Black Wok now will prove to be your downfall.”
