Chapter 1124: Human Tribulation (1/2)
Jin Gushen was a genius of dominating caliber within the nine divine sects. He rivaled many eternal overlords of the sacred clans, and his cultivation speed was the most frightening of all. He’d progressed from an ordinary life form to peak eternal overlord within a single chaos tribulation!
He’d also done so entirely without fortuitous encounters or patrons. His own strength, abilities, and prodigious potential had been the only things he’d relied on.
……
Boom!
Golden light oscillated from Lu Yun’s body when his stroke neared Jin Gushen. The two had clashed against each other a hundred thousand times in less than the blink of an eye!
Both of them called upon all of their battle strength, and Lu Yun’s was more than ten times stronger than before as he’d begun to meld the Dragonquake Scripture and Myriad Inception Fist into his sword dao over the course of his previous nineteen battles.
But still, that only allowed him to just rival Jin Gushen.
……
“Well?” The leader of the fire elemental divine sect looked at Chi Wuxia beside him.
“If I was who I was before, then I would be less than them,” Chi Wuxia responded upon careful consideration.
Black flames flickered in and out of view around him as he observed the battle. He’d first been defeated by Qiu Luoyu in the Tomb of Heaven and Earth, then his weapon shattered by a singular point from Lu Yun. In his current form, however, he was leagues apart from who he’d been back then.
He was still peak eternal overlord, but his grasp of this realm was at its greatest peak.
Chi Wuxia had previously most valued his weapon of the chaos dragon curse. But after its destruction, he realized that the reflection beyond the chaos embedded within the spear was the truly important treasure at stake.
“The two of them combined… and that Huo Shentong, and Qiu Luoyu, aren’t a match for me anymore.” Two balls of black flame burned within Chi Wuxia’s eyes. “There is only one who can fight me in all of the nine divine sects… no, the nine sacred lands.”
“Who?” His sect leader asked curiously. With Chi Wuxia’s current cultivation, he was the first among the nine divine sects. Even the old monsters hidden in the shadows weren’t his match anymore.
Chi Wuxia shook his head slightly without a response and refocused on the battle at hand. Lu Yun and Jin Gushen’s fight was reaching its climax. Neither was holding back and all sorts of trump cards and combat arts flashed through the arena.
Lu Yun deployed his sword dao, the Myriad Inception Fist, and even combat arts from the Dragonquake Scripture. Under tremendous pressure from his opponent’s offensive, they were slowly melding into one system.
Jin Gushen was also growing stronger the more he fought. He darted around the arena as a golden blur, too fast for anyone to make out his form.
What had been an Inception Spiritrial Arena six thousand meters across had gradually reformed into a real world throughout the course of their battle. It was a sign that their melee exceeded the arena’s limits, to the point where it had to change its own capabilities.
No one noticed that a small wisp of white light melded into the void with Lu Yun’s every move, ultimately disappearing from view. Even if they did, they would’ve thought that to be the natural emission of combat arts.
