AST 2490 - Stepping into Eighth Mortal Step, A Turn for the Better (1/2)

Basic Sword Techniques!

Qing Shui’s sword strike was direct and clean. Qing Shui was utilizing an attack that combined the mastery of upper, middle, and lower sword techniques comprehension. This was the first time that Qing Shui had used it in a real battle. He had been practicing it.

Divine Weapon Flying Sword appeared as though it was carrying a blazing rainbow as it flew toward the Heaven Star Battle God.

Scattered Star Chess Pieces!

Heaven Star Battle God shook his sword once and the surrounding sky was covered in stars. The area was sparkling about as if it had become a giant chessboard. Heaven Star Battle God’s body shuffled back and forth, just like a fish in water. The Heaven Star Sword within his hand was fiercely attacking at full strength.

Bang!

Continuous contact noises could be heard. Qing Shui’s technique was ancient and simple. It was simple to the point that a three to five years old child could understand. The attacks could not be called ordinary by any means. Though it was simple, with each strike, Qing Shui could feel the terrifying power that was the Basic Sword Technique. This was especially true as the technique was being utilized by the Divine Weapon Flying Sword.

With the Divine Weapon Flying Sword’s reduction and Qing Shui’s strengths and debuffs on the opposition, Qing Shui felt there was not much pressure in this fight.

Once Qing Shui had debuffed the opposition, he would have the advantage in terms of speed. Under the influence of the Scatter Star Chess Pieces used by the Heaven Star Battle God, the speed disadvantage was nullified.

“Young man, if you have any trump cards, you better use it now. Otherwise, you can’t kill me.” Heaven Star Battle God said as he laughed at Qing Shui.

As he was speaking, the Heaven Star Battle God opened up caves behind his back.

Ten caves! Moreover, those caves were not common.

Ten caves weren’t a lot, but the opposition was the Nine Continents Divine Palace’s Palace Lord, thus Qing Shui did not feel surprised. Qing Shui reacted by opening his own ten caves behind him. The ten caves glittered in golden radiance.

“To be one of the ten caves holders as well, how extraordinary!”

“Divine Palace’s Palace Lord’s ten caves are common, but the young man’s ten caves are remarkable. If it was based on the auras given off by the caves, the young man seems to have the upper hand on the Palace Lord.”

“However, Divine Palace’s Palace Lord’s realm is undoubtedly higher.”

“But I feel that the young man has more than meets the eye. The Palace Lord had said that if it were a battle to the death, the one who would perish would be the Palace Lord.”

Two vigorous looking old men were observing the battle seriously.

With the opening of the caves, many beasts appeared on the battlefield. Heaven Star Battle God was Grade Ten Nurture God Realm. In terms of the martial realm, the Heaven Star Battle God was much higher than Qing Shui, but Qing Shui’s caves were stronger than the Battle God’s. On a scale, their strengths were somewhat equivalent, but Qing Shui’s tenth cave was a horrifying existence.

Roar!

Qing Shui summoned the Dragon Slaying Beast, Primordial Dragon Elephant, Dragon Spider, Dark Phoenix, Black Ice Divine Worm, Diamond White Tiger King, and Primordial Golden Bear.

Heaven Star Battle God summoned ten beasts. Those were two dragon-shaped beasts, two White Tigers, one Dragon Lion, one Exploding Crystal Ape King, three spider-type beasts, and one giant turtle.

Nine Palace Laws!

Qing Shui used his own domain ability which was similar to the opposition’s Scattered Star Chess Pieces.

Roar!

Roar….

The battle erupted! Dragon Spider spread a giant net out. Qing Shui rapidly walked and used Sixth Mortal Step right where he was.

Heaven Star Battle God’s Heaven Star Sword was shining brightly. At the same time, the giant ancient turtle raised its head fiercely, its sinister head emitting a bitter aura. Immediately, it weirdly moved in front of Qing Shui. Its giant shell shone with an unadorned radiance, the patterns on its shell was shining brightly.

At this time, Qing Shui had already fired off Stellar Transposition.

Qing Shui could use Stellar Transposition once every five minutes. This was the second time Qing Shui had used it this battle.

As if the milky way was setting like the sun, Stellar Transposition was aimed at the majority of the opposition’s beasts. The result was a group of injuries. The one who was injured significantly was none other than the giant turtle that had taken the initiative to block Qing Shui’s attack.

Bang!

An attack that neglected defense. With its immense defense, Qing Shui was not certain if he could destroy the giant turtle’s shell, but he certainly heard a chain of shattering noises.

Its organs were shattered!
