919 Purplish Air Enshrouds Heaven Han, the Will of the Fists Cuts Across the Sky (2/2)
Using a divine art from hundreds of thousands of years ago to go against a divine art of today would definitely result in the easy defeat of the former.
Yun Jianli was unsurprised by this, yet after using the Nine Heavens of Heaven Han, he executed the Nine Heavens of Heaven Han once more. However, this time, when he executed the move once again, it was no longer the divine art of Celestial Venerable Yun from back then.
This move was now infused with the newest and most complete Heavenly Dao that the Dao Sect of the celestial heavens had come up with in their research. In the Nine Heavens of Heaven Han, it was like there were nine purplish heavens with nine celestial palaces, and within each celestial palace, there was a celestial emperor sitting inside!
In addition, the area that Yun Jianli's divine art enshrouded had shrunk by several times. His one move of Nine Heavens of Heaven Han had previously enshrouded the surroundings miles away. It had looked as though it was extremely powerful, but in actuality, its power was very scattered.
If he was up against a normal person, it would definitely look very terrifying, but against someone as strong as Qin Mu, it only seemed flashy in appearance but was without substance.
Now, the area that this move covered was only a yard in circumference. Its power was highly concentrated and extremely terrifying, such that Qin Mu couldn't afford to take it lightly!
Yun Jianli's previous divine art was no longer comparable to the current divine art he had just executed!
Qin Mu couldn't help but change his expression. Celestial Venerable Yun's Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique truly grasped the meaning of the word ”change”. This move not only absorbed the research of the Dao Sect of the celestial heavens, but it also had the unique points of the techniques and divine arts from the Founding Emperor Era.
The unique point of the divine arts during the Founding Emperor Era was that they didn't give much importance to having a great aura and presence. Instead, they tried their best to contain the power of their divine art into a square-inch-sized space. The crux was to use a single point to break through. This reduced the damage to the surroundings while simultaneously getting the enemy, having the least losses while unleashing the greatest power!
Yun Jianli's move did just that.
”The divine art of the Yun family is truly formidable.”
There was radiance in Qin Mu's eyes as he activated the Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique, and vital qi circulated within his body. ”However, I'm stronger!”
The spirit of the martial path exploded from within him, and he unleashed a strike as boundless energy struck directly towards the Nine Heavens of Heaven Han!
The split second the marks from their fists made contact, the two rows of great waves from the Jade Sea behind them floated into the air and surged into the distance.
The towering waves that were raised even swept the colossal divine turtles of the Jade Sea into the sky. These divine turtles carried divine mountains on their backs, and atop the mountains, there were many palaces and throne halls where goddesses of the Jade Pool were resting.
The divine turtles swam about these giant waves and tried their best to maintain their forms, while the divine mountains on their backs trembled as though there was an earthquake. The many goddesses walked out of their palaces to take a look, only to see that in the middle of two gigantic waves, there were the figures of two youths flitting in and out of the surface of the sea. The two youths were exchanging blows as quick as lightning flashes, but their techniques and divine arts were still extremely terrifying!
At the Slow Winding Pavilion, Qi Jiuyi was startled awake by the auras of the two. He regained his senses from his infatuation with Yun Chuxiu and looked outwards to watch the two on the Jade Sea.
'Yun Jianli's abilities are a lot stronger than before.'
Qi Jiuyi's expression changed slightly. He had exchanged blows with Yun Jianli before, and he knew exactly how strong and terrifying Yun Jianli was.
Although this first male of the Yun family was sickly, he was blessed by the heavens, and his cultivation was extremely outstanding amongst the younger generation within the celestial heavens. Even his divine art was terrifyingly formidable.
Back then, when he exchanged blows with Yun Jianli, he had lost in the first move. Yun Jianli had given him time to rest, but when they exchanged blows the second time, Qi Jiuyi lost even more easily. By their third battle, he lost even faster.
Qi Jiuyi learned under Red Deity Qi Xiayu and Black Deity Yin Chaojin, and he had learned the ultimate arts of both deities. However, against Yun Jianli, he couldn't even defend against one move. From then on, he was utterly won over by Yun Jianli.
'I was defeated by Cult Master Qin in the lower bound, and from there, I learned my weak points. Then I learned the results of the reforms of Eternal Peace from Xu Shenghua. Initially, I thought I would be able to match up to Yun Jianli, however, from the looks of it now, I still lack experience. The most crucial part is entering the path.'
Qi Jiuyi looked at the two at sea. At this moment, Yun Jianli suddenly pressed a palm onto the surface of the sea. The sea surface trembled, and then the great waves calmed. The giant waves that were initially towering over the sea surface suddenly became incredibly calm, and only the divine turtles who had ridden the waves just now were left in mid-air.
With the divine mountains and divine islands on their backs, the divine turtles moved their four limbs about leisurely and swam around in mid-air so that they wouldn't fall from the sky.
Beneath them, the surface of the sea suddenly burst open, and seawater rushed upwards into the sky. Instantly, countless flags made of seawater emerged and stood upright on the surface of the sea.
On the surface of the flags, various rune markings appeared, and the different markings formed a total of three hundred and sixty different images of gods!
Previously, Yun Jianli's divine art used its small size to its advantage. Now, it was big in size.
The three hundred and sixty flags with the images of gods enshrouded the area in a radius of a hundred miles, forming an enormous battle formation.
”Yun Jianli's technique, it has succeeded…” Qi Jiuyi was a little dazed.
After setting up the formation, Yun Jianli suddenly retreated and avoided Qin Mu's attack like a startled goose. In the next moment, he collided with an enormous flag, and his form vanished into the flag.
”Mo—”
An extremely loud and clear voice came from within the flag, and a god with an imposing stature walked out from the surface of the flag. It was the god Tai Yi of the three hundred and sixty gods!
This Tai Yi had no face—no eyes, ears, mouth, or nose—and on his head, there was no hair. All four sides of his head were blank, and he was also known as North Pole Superior Emperor Tai Yi, the leader of the stars.
At this moment, Yun Jianli had actually transformed into Superior Emperor Tai Yi, and it was as though Superior Emperor Tai Yi had personally descended. Behind him hung a purple star, and every movement he made contained a boundless divine art. Then, he attacked Qin Mu!
That kind of divine art contained within it the charm of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. The divine art was naturally formed, and its power was boundless.
In front of him, Qin Mu looked incredibly small and insignificant. However, the power of Qin Mu's blow was extremely great, and it had actually managed to block Superior Emperor Tai Yi's divine art head-on.
The two of them, one big and one small in size, collided with each other on the surface of the sea. Their fists and legs flew at each other fiercely, and they fought until heaven fell and earth split.
Suddenly, Superior Emperor Tai Yi was beaten up by Qin Mu until he collapsed, his massive body torn inch by inch. Superior Emperor Tai Yi flew backward, and his corporeal body continued to disintegrate. With a loud crashing noise, he collided with a flag.
The flag exploded, and the air was filled with fog. Then, from within the fog, another god emerged. This ancient god had the head of a bird and the body of a human. In one hand, he held a scroll, and in the other, he gripped a brush. He was the god Wen Chang, also known as Superior Emperor Wen Chang.
This ancient god was so powerful that he could command authority just through his words.
The formidable side of Celestial Venerable Yun's technique was finally demonstrated through Yun Jianli.
