Chapter 469 - So... I’ve Already Become This Strong
“And this guy, he must have tricked his opponent to attack first so that he could exploit their mistakes!”
Su Domi murmured, “It is a great honour to be able to fight with someone like that! The fight is definitely exciting and the very excitement brought from this fight will unleash my full potential! This is why an intense fight often unleashes our hidden potential!”
Su Wuji had goosebumps all over while feeling grateful at the same time for having survived. He also once got into a fight with Zhong Yue but was overwhelmed by him in an instant, only barely managing to get away.
Initially, he couldn't let go of the incident where he was heavily injured by Zhong Yue; he believed that he only lost so tragically because he was caught off guard. But now, when he thought back on it, he now acknowledged that even if Zhong Yue were to come at him directly, he would still lose, perhaps in an even worse way. He might even be slaughtered by Zhong Yue in the same way Zhong Yue slaughtered Qi Lianfeng!
“Make no mistakes in front of him or you will be killed? What kind of level is he at?” murmured Su Wuji blankly.
He might be a magnate Qi Practitioner from the demon race, but he has yet to come across with any scenario like this. Who wouldn't make mistakes in battles? In most cases, one would only lose the upper hand once he or she made a mistake, but there would still be chances for them to turn the tables.
Perhaps only the gods can do this? Being able to make no mistakes in battle? Can this be the inner level of the gods? Thought the frightened Su Wuji.
At that moment, all the aggressors’ faces turned serious, and even Chi Xue and the others who were still fighting stopped as they all stared at Zhong Yue with various conflicting running through their minds. For a moment, they looked at Zhong Yue, then to Qi Lianfeng who was laying on the ground. Their gazes continued to shift back and forth just like that.
A formidable foe!
What a freaky guy!
He must have consumed something to have such power, right?
….
Chi Xue was also confused and shocked upon seeing Zhong Yue defeat Qi Lianfeng in just an instant with overwhelming force!
At this moment, Zhong Yue’s existence became as large as a mountain in her mind’s eye!
The state of extremity allowed a Qi Practitioner to stand on a level far beyond their peers. The higher the level a Qi Practitioner acquired, the stronger that person’s power state of extremity would be.
Chi Xue currently had six levels of state of extremity while Zhong Yue had only five, meaning that Chi Xue was stronger than Zhong Yue. But as of this moment, that was not what it felt like to her.
How was it possible that Zhong Yue managed to outshine her before he managed to finish his nine revolutions?
The only explanation was the state of extremity!
His strength was about the same as mine when he encountered Kua Fuding, so why and how did he manage to achieve such a quantum leap in power? Could it be that he’s already consumed the Peaches of Immortality of the mother tree back then? This is the only explanation I can think of!
Chi Xue thought for a moment, The Peaches of Immortality is something used to increase one’s lifespan, not one’s power and strength… Perhaps the peaches on the mother tree are different from the other peaches, and that is why the peaches boosted Zhong Yue’s strength?
“We must not let him grow anymore….” said someone softly.
“With him here, he will get all the spotlight. The moon shines brightest in the night sky while the stars are neglected….”
Everyone’s heart felt heavy as the stars may be able to shine in the skies at the night, but once the moon showed up, they would all immediately seem to lose their radiance. In this case, Zhong Yue was the moon and everyone else was a nameless star!
And because of Zhong Yue, no matter how hard they tried, the spotlight would always be with Zhong Yue!
Suddenly, Zhong Yue’s heart tightened, causing him to slow his attacks and scared off Peng Jinyi and Peng Qianqiu for they feared that Zhong Yue was plotting something in secret. As they backed off, the two magnate Qi Practitioners both spurted out a large amount of blood and they wore a shocked expression.
As they temporarily stopped fighting, Zhong Yue frowned as he felt everyone’s gazes that bore sharp killing intent. If he continued fighting, his attention would be diverted away from his surroundings, giving a chance for some opportunistic person to strike.
As soon as the two Pengs backed off, Zhong Yue immediately relaxed his muscles and stood there with a very strong presence.
At the same time, the six light wheels behind his head slowly spun, giving off a unique and mysterious aura as people could see faint and complicated totem carvings within the wheels; it felt as if there were god phantoms hiding in his wheels and faint prayers could be heard as if the gods were praying to his six wheels.
All of this happened quickly, and Zhong Yue suddenly seemed undefeatable.
Everyone was originally prepared to attack at anytime, but with the sudden change in Zhong Yue, who would still dare to attack him recklessly?
Just by standing there, no matter from which direction they looked, whether it be from the front, back, or sides, they clearly felt that there was no holes in Zhong Yue’s defense. They couldn’t figure out a way to attack Zhong Yue without risking being killed!
So… I’ve already become this strong….
The realization came to Zhong Yue, and as he looked at the sky, he softly murmured, “So I am already this strong….”
Without showing any flaw in his stance, the people did not dare to attack as they feared Zhong Yue’s retaliation!
The very first person who attacked Zhong Yue would definitely not walk away unscathed, and this thought that gnawed at everyone’s mind acted as a deterrent that prevented anyone stepping forward at all!
“He is injured,” Shang Qing said suddenly, “When he fought with Qi Lianfeng, his inner core was damaged by Qi Lianfeng. There should be countless of cracks on his inner core.”
Zhong Yue then turned around quickly, looked at Shang Qing and said, “Brother Shang Qing, I am indeed injured, so why don’t you come try me?”
Immediately, Shang Qing laughed awkwardly and kept silent after that.
Chi Qing then suddenly said, “He is the one that got on land with Chi Xue first so they will definitely have quite a few peaches with them, it’s just that we do not know how many they have. Maybe one, probably a few or even more than that!”
Immediately, everyone’s eyes turned red as the situation was on the verge of turning sour for Zhong Yue and Chi Xue quickly.
Shang Qing then laughed and said, “All of us only obtained a total of four peaches, and just for these four peaches, we have to battle each other to the death. But these two... god knows how many peaches they’ve acquired for themselves, isn’t this a little bit unfair for us?”
Right away, Chi Xue walked toward Zhong Yue with a very serious expression, but she was stopped by Fu Tixiang, who laughed and said, “Princess Xue, you have quite a few peaches, can you please be so generous as to give me one?”
Chi Xue smiled sweetly and answered, “Xiang Xiang, the peaches are here with me. If you want it, then come and get it.”
Sparks seemed to fly between their eyes as killing intent billowed from within them as they both unsheathed their soul weapons, preparing to deliver killing blows on each other at anytime.
Shang Qing frowned upon seeing this, and as he looked around, he noticed that everyone still didn’t dare to attack Zhong Yue because he showed no flaw in his defence, and none of the people around wished to attack first; they all wanted the others to act first so they could reduce their own risks.
“Ehem, ladies and gentlemen, the Returning Ruins will soon return to the black hole soon and before that, our sect will send us back to our own territories.” Chi Qing reminded as an attempt to taunt the others to attack.
Her attempt, however, returned no reward as nobody moved an inch.
Meanwhile, at the centre of the encirclement, Zhong Yue ignored everyone around him and continued looking at himself, trying to understand the exact reason his strength grew this much.
My Nine Revolving Inner Core has only reached the seventh revolution, so it’s definitely not because of that. Even if I succeeded, I have only reached the sixth level in the state of extremity. Can it be that because of the Six Paths Wheel behind the head of Reincarnation Monarch that I visualized?
He then closed his eyes, observing his inner body where the Pan Gu God stretched out his four arms, with each arm lifting up and controlling the power of the Yin Yang, Shen Cai, Wan Xiang, and Wu Xing Secret Realms.
And now, the four secret realms were all extremely stable, and a virtuous yet mysterious aura rose up from within the four secret realms.
Each time the Pan Gu God changed his stance, he would always give Zhong Yue some new insight into his own power which allowed him to maintain himself in a state that allowed him to comprehend things quickly.
And this was the reason why he became so strong!
After being guided by the Immortal Peach Mother Tree learning the Six Path Reincarnation of Reincarnation Monarch, he now stood at a level he had never before been envisioned!
All creatures in this world lived all under the law of the Six Path Reincarnation, and Zhong Yue’s incredible strength was because he had mastered four out of the six paths!
Suddenly, the dimension in the Returning Ruins trembled vigorously as if a fast moving object came to a sudden halt. The inertia caused the mountains to rock and the bloody water to slosh about.
Immediately, everyone in the Returning Ruins had a shocked expression as they all shouted, “The Returning Ruins has stopped!”
Then everything calmed down, and noises could be heard from underground as the Returning Ruins Land moved slowly again, but this time, instead of moving away from the black hole, the land was slowly being sucked toward the black hole!
This ancient Kun Lun Land then started moving, which meant that this land would soon be devoured by the black hole, only emerging after another 1000 years!
Besides, according to the guesses of the many godly herbs out there, whether or not the Returning Ruins Land will emerge again remained a mystery as this might have been its last appearance before being completely devoured by the black hole!
“Soon, we will all be teleported back.”
Chi Qing laughed and said, “Everyone, are we still going to wait?”
Around Zhong Yue, the people all scuffled about, and as Shang Qing looked around, he thought, If I activated the Lunar Mirror and attacked him, I might be able to fend off his attacks without getting injured… I can also be the trigger that spurs the others to attack him….
As soon as he thought of this, a figure charged toward Zhong Yue as he shouted, “Stop wasting time! Let me kill him!”
Shang Qing was happy and he thought, Who is this idiot? Good, good! He saved me from risking myself getting injured by attacking first!
This figure had eight heads, arms and legs and he bore a wild and strong presence. He was the weird looking man among the four aces of Kun Lun Realm, no one knew his origins but he was known as one of the strongest among the young gods!
As this young man charged towards Zhong Yue, his eight heads roared, and his arms slammed towards Zhong Yue while Zhong Yue visualized his eight arms and swung his arms forward with the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】in his arms.
When their arms collided, the eight headed young man was sent flying away and he spurted out a huge amount of blood as he shrieked.
And at the same time, one after another Qi Practitioners charged toward Zhong Yue with Kua Fuding leading the charge, reaching to the back of Zhong Yue quickly.
“Houtu Mountain River Cauldron!”
Kua Fuding shouted and suddenly, Zhong Yue turned around while the eight-headed young man charged back at them. Then, along with Zhong Yue, the eight headed young man attacked Kua Fuding. Kua Fuding had only one thought in his mind as he was sent flying away in confusion, What just happened?
