1358 Chapter 1352: CKC, the Sky and the Heaven (2)
Wu Yu faced the incoming earth-shattering assault by Kong Yi with a tranquil, unsurprised expression as if he was utterly contemptuous, not even opening his eyes in the slightest. The sight exuded such a degree of disdain, dismissal, and disregard that it sent the already angered Sky Monarch to the edge! With a vicious, ear-splitting grunt, Kong Yi's body released greater levels of mystic power that caused the Dark Void to tremble and distort violently.
Kong Yi's body volcanically erupted with Mystic Runes as a deluge of tens of thousands of them enshrouded his body, revealing the strength of an Earthly Saint with six Mystic Runes!
Sky Monarch Bai reeled slightly. Kong Yi's cultivation base had advanced?! The previous Sky Monarch and Alchemic Knight of the questionably-deceased Xun Yicao was only at the 5th Runic Ascension just a few years ago! The sight also caused Tian Weilong to have a slightly surprised expression, yet his experience and breadth of mind kept him from being affected or delayed by this revelation. He sped toward Kong Yi with a mission.
Kong Yi's attack was only two miles away from Wu Yu! At this point, the Grand Knight was dyed by indigo light entirely, and those observing from a distance could no longer see him!
"Oh? You've taken a step forward. Good for you," Wu Yu's eyes remained closed. But he was not unmoving as he lifted his right hand, held it out in front of him, and lightly pushed with an air of understated, simplistic ease. To others, this action might seem utterly simple, a single move that was without any extraordinary display at all, yet, even through his powerful attack backed by his 6th Runic Ascension cultivation base, Kong Yi's pupils instantly constricted to their absolute limits!
RUMBLE!
The sea of violent, ravaging indigo mystic power began to crumble from its center, dissipating like foamy soap being washed away by a cascading splash of water. Within a single blink of an Ascended's eye, the entire attack collapsed and vanished as if it was never there! Kong Yi's whole body stiffened.
From within Kong Yi's pupils, wisps of starry light flashed chaotically as his expression rapidly grew ashen pale.
Wooosh!
An aged figure zipped by Kong Yi, his expression solemn as he grabbed his shoulder, and without the slightest hesitation, tossed him back like a sack of potatoes as he clenched his right fist swirling with crimson-colored mystic power! The fixed space surrounding his fist exploded!
Tian Weilong launched his fist forward with a soft, throaty roar! The attack unleashed a shadowy manifestation of a dragon silhouette that roared out and rushed forward. It was gargantuan, the size of a tiny-sized planet, and it could be seen from a great distance!
The dragon only moved a mile before…
BOOOOM!!!
A sky-sundering, world-shaking impact resounded like thunder from the heavens! Waves upon waves of essence, mana, energy, and power spiraled in every direction as two silhouettes revealed themselves!
The first was Tian Weilong's dragon that heavily resembled Anu, the azure-horned firmament dragon's imposing figure with slight differences of no wings, and the second was a palm that seemed as if it was a portion of the night sky, infused with endless starry lights!
Sky Monarch Bai's heart shook as he hurriedly reacted, catching Kong Yi with both hands before spinning to disrupt the force. Tian Weilong's tossing strength was enough to unsettle his inner organs despite only catching Kong Yi. As for the bag of potatoes, Kong Yi's eyes, nose, and ears were bleeding profusely!
Tian Weilong couldn't hold back even an ounce of strength, so Kong Yi was thrown out by a tyrannical might that shook him inside and out.
Seeing the palm that rivaled the dragon in size appear, Sky Monarch Bai gawked in awe. He hadn't even sensed Wu Yu's power until it collided with Tian Weilong. This level of harmony with space had reached utterly profound levels!
"What power!" Sky Monarch Bai was a 4th Runic Ascension Earthly Saint, so he was floored by the clash of giants. If it was a few decades ago, he would still be considered a terrifying expert among experts, but after Wei Wuyin's appearance and the existence of his army of Earthly Saints was revealed, it was clear that the 4th Runic Ascension was a little too weak to be classified as a true peak expert!
Despite that, he was still an Earthly Saint! He could still fight!
Boom! Boom!
Incessant explosions rang out as the horned, wingless dragon manifestation fought against Wu Yu's Imperial Heaven Palm with frightening intensity. It clawed, swiped, chomped, and headbutted the palm with ceaseless attacks.
Wu Yu clenched his hand, and at the same time, the palm mimicked him and closed around the dragon causing Tian Weilong to snort coldly. The dragon manifestation might have been wingless, but it wasn't slow as it violently tail-swiped at the palm, using the counterforce to propel itself backward.
"..." Wu Yu was utterly silent as he kept his hand clenched. Tian Weilong's pupils instantly shrunk. Without the slightest hesitation, his entire body erupted with silvery light as he flashed through the Dark Void in a burst of starry, sky-dazzling light!
The clenching palm was like a vortex of unimaginable gravitational force as the dragon manifestation began to slow to a crawl in its retreat. When it fully stopped, it released a raging roar that shook the hearts of Kong Yi and Sky Monarch Bai. Then, it began to go in reverse despite its efforts to struggle. Its entire body slammed against the palm, the fingers clamping it down viciously as scales formed of Mystic Power fragmented and bursts of energy jetted out as if blood.
It wailed soundlessly as the infused spirituality within it began to reveal its lifelike response. But the hand was decisive and merciless like a Monarch delivering an order of execution!
Like a soft fruit being crushed by a strongman's hand, the dragon was squashed and exploded in a gush of crimson light!
The resulting explosion sent waves upon waves exploding forward, smashing against the borders of the Aeternal Sky Starfield and the two Sky Monarchs!
BOOSH!!
They were both blasted back into the Aeternal Sky Starfield with cracks all over their bodies, blood leaking from every orifice, and ghastly pale expressions!
Tian Weilong appeared behind both of them, using his two hands to disperse the Imperial Heaven Aura that had accumulated with each of their bodies, ravaging their cultivation bases. "How sinister!" He coldly remarked, but he truly felt that Wu Yu's Imperial Heaven Aura was very similar to his clan's cultivation method within the Aeternal Sky Scripture.
He hadn't gotten his hands on the Imperial Heaven Qi Method that Wu Yu had given Tian Muyang as only the Divine Emperor and the Imperial Advisor had inspected it, excluding Tian Muyang, who retrieved it. The information regarding it was sealed off. A fact that deeply dissatisfied him.
Still, there were some differences between them. Were the rumors true? Was Wu Yu's clan derived from theirs or vice versa? Was this Wu Yu, who was born and raised in the Everlore Starfield, a descendant of that clan? Despite his thoughts, his nose began to leak blood.
His expression drastically changed. He hurriedly circulated all of his internal Mystic Power and Aeternal Sky Aura to expel the hidden Imperial Heaven Aura that had quietly invaded him through the two Sky Monarchs. Once again, he said: "How sinister!"
Due to Tian Weilong's actions, the faint outline of mystic runes on his skin was visible! Sky Monarch Bai's expression went slightly ugly as he sensed that Tian Weilong had only six Mystic Runes! That was no different from Kong Yi! While their experiences, skills, and cultivated foundations were drastically different, the fact remained that Wu Yu had immediately entered the 8th runic State! Moreover, there were signs of him being increasingly more impressive than before!
He couldn't help but recall Wu Yu's words from earlier. Were they really unqualified? Could they ever hope to fight against this Monarch? A cold sensation seized his heart as his eyes grew dazed.
"Doh!" A thunderous roar exploded inside Sky Monarch Bai and Kong Yi's Sea of Consciousness as their hazy eyes rapidly cleared with crimson light. Their bodies were immediately drenched in cold sweat.
"Even the Sea of Consciousness was infected and suppressed," Tian Weilong commented as he turned to the still sitting, closed-eyed Wu Yu. If before he seemed utterly contemptuous, an insult to their statuses as Earthly Saints, now Tian Weilong saw him as being confident, and rightfully so.
A single move had essentially defeated two of them, and they couldn't even push him back an inch!
Shockingly, Sky Monarch Bai's Mystic Aura unfurled forcefully. "Together!" He shouted firmly.
Tian Weilong couldn't help but give this Sky Monarch a second glance. He was nearly taken over by the Imperial Heaven Aura, yet he was still willing to fight. At the very least, that deserved some form of praise. He didn't have any to give, as it was utterly foolish, but it certainly deserved some from somewhere!
Kong Yi's teeth were gritted so harshly that the edges cracked slightly. "Okay!" He unfurled his Mystic Aura too! Despite his fear, the hatred he felt toward Wu Yu was far too heavy. Additionally, he didn't believe that he would die at the borders of their territory. How ridiculous would that be if the Divine Emperor simply allowed that to happen?
Tian Weilong inwardly sighed, but his aged expression revealed a trace of resolved determination and fighting spirit. He didn't reply verbally but summoned his Mystic Aura as well! As he did, this crimson-colored aura had various starry lights within it!
Aeternal Sky Aura!
The three Earthly Saints were like raging storms as they fully exerted their auras in unison!
Wu Yu remained unfazed; instead, he was thoughtful toward the methods Tian Weilong used to dispel his Imperial Heaven Aura. The Aeternal Sky Aura…
This was his first time actually seeing it in action! He couldn't help but move his head toward the center of the Aeternal Sky Starfield. It seems that even possessing the cultivation method itself wasn't enough to verify some things for the Tian Clan! Well, he also wanted to confirm a few things!
Woosh!
The three shot toward Wu Yu with powerful momentum!
