Chapter 1245 - Abuse (1/2)

Zzzt!!

The Dragon Compassion Blade hit Yun Che’s palm, but there was no profound energy explosion, collapsed space, or blood. All the impact produced was a hiss of lightning, and the blade came to a stop—or more accurately, Yun Che held it with three fingers—just like that. The devastating power of a Divine King had vanished like it had been devoured by a dimensional black hole.

The Conferred God Stage was completely silent.

Luo Changsheng looked deathly pale as his pupils trembled with confusion and fear. His weapon arm felt numb, but he couldn’t feel any power inside it… in fact, he couldn’t even feel the Dragon Compassion Blade itself.

The Dragon Compassion Blade had been injected with all of his power, but Yun Che had stopped his attack barehanded—no, with just three fingers!

Impossible...

Im… po… ssi… ble...

Yun Che remained expressionless, almost as if he had caught a tiny insect and not a blade. Then, he squeezed the Dragon Compassion Blade a bit.

Ding!

There was a soft noise, and pale white cracks instantly spread throughout the blade.

Luo Changsheng’s pupils dilated until they couldn’t possibly get any wider.

Creak creak creak creak creak...

Aooo— wooh—

The Dragon Compassion Blade struggled and trembled intensely in Yun Che’s grip, all the while roaring fearfully and in pain. However, its futile struggles and sorrowful roars lasted for only a brief instant before it stilled and crumbled into countless gray white pieces in Luo Changsheng’s hand. The fragments fell to the light screen beneath their feet, shining with despair during its final moments before everything finally turned silent.

“You… You…” Luo Changsheng staggered back a few steps while feeling numb all over. He felt as if someone had sucked the soul from his very body.

“Yun Che… took Luo Changsheng’s Dragon Compassion Blade… with his bare hand…”

“Not his hand, his fingers… he even crushed it… was the Dragon Compassion Blade such a fragile weapon?”

“The Dragon Compassion Blade was a primordial divine blade Fairy Guxie brought back from the God Realm of Absolute Beginning! There’s no way it’d be fragile… not to mention that it was injected with Luo Changsheng’s powers; a Divine King’s powers! Yun Che’s the reason… Yun Che… he… he… Ssss…”

Gasps could be heard all across the spectators stands.

“Im… impossible… Impossible…” Luo Guxie looked completely stunned. If she was numb from the shocking event that was the lightning tribulation earlier, then she couldn’t even believe her eyes right now.

She had personally brought the Dragon Compassion Blade back from the God Realm of Absolute Beginning, and she had spent a tremendous amount of effort to retrieve the blade. Admittedly, it wasn’t nearly as strong as it was during the Primordial Era, but the blade itself was still made using the back of an actual dragon. Not even she could have destroyed it so easily… How in the world had Yun Che done it when he had just survived his tribulation lightning...

Wait, that white tribulation lightning surrounding him!

“Changsheng!” Luo Guxie suddenly shouted, “If a lightning tribulation hadn’t interfered with this battle, you would’ve been victorious a long time ago. This so-called rematch is unfair and completely meaningless to you, so you may as well just give up this fight!”

Luo Guxie was obviously giving Luo Changsheng a reason to surrender the match, but the words she used—“unfair”, “completely meaningless”—made Honorable Qu Hui frown deeply… if she wasn’t Luo Guxie, he would’ve shown his anger already.

“Give up…” Luo Changsheng’s lips were trembling, but no one knew if it was out of fear or humiliation. As he stared at the Dragon Compassion Blade’s broken fragments with a distorted expression, he said, “Are you kidding me… I’ve become a Divine King! I thrashed him like a dog just moments ago! Do you think I’m afraid of him!?”

Luo Changsheng was the first thirty year old Divine King in the history of the Eastern Divine Region. Not only did this shock the entire Eastern Divine Region, it even won the admiration of the Divine Masters as well. It was such a proud and impressive achievement! Three days ago, Yun Che had handed him his very first defeat and shame of his entire life. He had ascended to a Divine King so he could vent all of his hatred and fury on Yun Che to achieve peace of mind. Before the lightning tribulation had occurred, Yun Che had seemed like a tiny worm that he could crush however he wished. Although he could’ve defeated Yun Che easily, he had chosen to torture and trample all over his body and pride right at the Conferred God Stage before everyone’s eyes.

After all that he had done to Yun Che, what would become of his reputation if he ran away now? He would become the biggest laughingstock of the entire Eastern Divine Region! How could he possibly accept this?

“Heh.” Yun Che finally said something, but it was only a sneer that had escaped his lips.

The deeply ridiculing sneer seemed to pierce Luo Changsheng’s already taut nerves deeply, because he suddenly roared and charged Yun Che like a frightened animal. His movement were as quick as lightning, as his hands were encircled by a devastating tempest.

Yun Che remained still in the face of Luo Changsheng’s renewed attack. Not even the curl on his face had changed in the slightest.

“Don’t touch the lightning surrounding his body!!”

A panicked shout rang from the distance. It came from none other than Luo Guxie herself.

Bang!!

Luo Changsheng’s tempestuous powers slammed directly into Yun Che’s chest, and the terrific power of a Divine King exploded without reservation. However… it once again vanished into nothingness in the next instant.

It was like a beautiful bubble that was popped easily with a single touch.

Yun Che didn’t move at all, despite taking the full brunt of Luo Changsheng’s attack head on. His sleeves were the only thing that moved a little due to the shockwave.

Both of Luo Changsheng’s arms froze in front of Yun Che’s chest. His pupils were dilating, and his entire body was shaking badly. “Im… impossible… impossible… Waahh!”

Before Luo Changsheng could retrieve his soul from the abyss, a bloodcurdling scream abruptly escaped his lips. Due to the physical contact, the white lightning surrounding Yun Che’s body had abruptly crawled through his arms and spread across his entire body.

He felt as if he had suddenly sunk into a terrible, invisible cage. Every part of his body was bound firmly by an irresistible power. As lightning continued to hiss beside his ears, a numbness so terrible that it was cruel spread to his organs, his veins, his profound veins, his cells, his pores...

White light flashed repeatedly on Luo Changsheng’s body. The lightning had not only robbed him of his strength and the ability to control his own body, but had also made him spasm violently. The only thing he could feel right now was a numbness so painful he wished he was dead.

“This is the Divine King power you pride yourself in?” Yun Che sneered disdainfully. “How disappointing.”

Yun Che slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed Luo Changsheng by the throat. His movement was very slow, but Luo Changsheng was unable to struggle or back off at all due to the lightning. Like a herd animal whose bones were completely crushed, he was easily lifted into the air by Yun Che.

“Ugh… Ah… Aaah…”

Luo Changsheng could only spasm in Yun Che’s hands. Forget struggling, he couldn’t even let out a normal sound. Yun Che’s arm moved higher and higher as he stared at Luo Changsheng coldly, “Luo Changsheng, you are an impressive genius in the way of the profound. If a lightning tribulation hadn’t suddenly descended upon me, I wouldn’t have been a match for you at all.”

“You could’ve beaten me fair and square with the power you possess, and I would’ve accepted this defeat without any complaints. But you just had to show me that ugly side of yours, didn’t you?... It was so ugly I felt like puking just now!”
