Chapter 247: Chapter 213: Two-Front War: One vs. Two (Part 2)
WHOOSH—
The golden blood mist coalesced.
His face pale and weak, Saint Elephant Ancestor reformed his physical body. Blazing golden flames burned in his shattered eyes as he glared at Wu Dao, who was strolling leisurely toward him. He gritted his teeth and said:
"You’re just an Incarnation?"
Just moments ago, he had received a message via a Secret Technique. The Wu Dao currently clashing with him was actually just an Incarnation!
Just!
A single!
Incarnation!!
An indescribable sense of frustration and humiliation overwhelmed the infinite pain in his body and soul. It was enough to drive Saint Elephant Ancestor mad!
"What?"
Wu Dao paused, his gaze as deep as an abyss. He mocked, "Are you not convinced? Or perhaps you want my Main Body to come. Do you think... you’re worthy?"
"..."
Saint Elephant Ancestor ground his teeth so hard they nearly shattered, and the corners of his eyes almost split open from rage. He was so furious he began to laugh.
"Hahaha! I, this old ancestor, have a thousand years of cultivation! Do you, a mere greenhorn, truly believe you can suppress me with just this Incarnation?"
"A thousand years of cultivation... Tsk."
Hearing this, Wu Dao scoffed.
"There’s a saying: ’A turtle for a thousand years, a tortoise for ten thousand.’ If longevity represented everything, I’d suggest you find a turtle and kowtow to it as your master."
A turtle for a thousand years, a tortoise for ten thousand!
No matter how long it lives, it’s still just a turtle!
’He can’t even see through such a simple principle. He’s truly wasted a thousand years of life!’
That’s why.
Longevity is useless.
Wu Dao’s pursuit had never been mere longevity, but rather—
Above him, no one; below him, all are ants!
Only eternal, unshakable invincibility.
Could make one truly Immortal and Undying, forever beyond nature’s culling!
"You whelp! You’ve gone too far in humiliating this old ancestor!!"
A frenzied roar of fury shattered the heavens and the earth.
After repeated humiliation, even a worm will turn.
Saint Elephant Ancestor no longer held back. His initially weak vitality erupted like fire doused with oil, growing immensely stronger. He was finally getting serious!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!
The fierce, clashing ring of Divine Iron exploded forth, as if an ancient war machine were being assembled.
The brilliant, dazzling golden light.
Made even Wu Dao narrow his eyes slightly.
’Is he finally going to use his Holy Spirit Divine Techniques?’
’Tsk...’
’He sure can hold it in.’
The Nine Holy Spirits Horizontal Refining Techniques.
Any single one of them.
Could allow a Horizontal Refiner to cultivate a physical Divine Treasure and Holy Spirit Divine Techniques.
The Immortal Black Tortoise Divine Skill had the Undying Incarnation.
The Karma Fire Qiongqi Scripture had the Black Lotus Karmic Fire.
The Holy Elephant Heaven-Equalizing Force that Saint Elephant Ancestor cultivated naturally also had its own unique Holy Spirit Divine Technique—
The Juntian Sacred Armor!
The Ancient Golden Holy Elephant could carry the stars and cosmos on its back.
To perform such a miracle,
Aside from the Golden Holy Elephant’s innate racial advantage of having strength that topped the universe,
Its greatest reliance,
Was the Juntian Sacred Armor that covered the Golden Holy Elephant’s body.
According to legend.
The Juntian Sacred Armor could reduce the weight of the stars and cosmos, shunting it into the void so that most of the pressure didn’t act upon its own body or cause it harm. This was also why the Golden Holy Elephant’s defense was renowned in ancient times.
This ability,
Though it seemed similar to the Reversed Celestial Spirit,
Was actually far inferior.
Reversed Celestial Spirit absorbed and redirected power, defying and reversing all external threats.
The Juntian Sacred Armor was far too crude in comparison.
It could only dissipate power.
And not even all of it.
The remainder of the attack still had to be endured head-on.
BOOM!
The eight poles of the void trembled.
After unleashing the Juntian Sacred Armor,
Saint Elephant Ancestor’s body expanded dramatically, becoming as majestic as a mountain with muscles like peaks, all gleaming with a brilliant golden light.
He looked like a Primordial Chaos Holy Elephant covered in layers of thick, prismatic crystal armor. With a slight step, the heavens and earth shook, his power boundless.
"Die!!"
BOOM!!
A mountain-sized fist of golden crystal shattered layers of the void, carrying with it a furious blast of air. Like a holy elephant swinging its trunk with the force to overturn oceans, it pressed down hard on the dust-like Wu Dao.
WHOOSH—
A terrifying wave of wind swept over him.
Yet Wu Dao remained unperturbed. His hand pierced through the endless golden light, his five fingers forming a Fist Seal. He threw a simple, unremarkable, tiny punch that slammed against the mountain-sized golden fist.
CLANG!!
A collision rang out, a sound that transcended any clang of metal in the mortal world.
Brilliant, dazzling sparks.
Once again flooded a thousand miles of the world.
BZZZZZ!!
Golden Primordial Magnetism currents rippled across Wu Dao’s body, Immune to All Laws and unharmed by any magnetic force. It rapidly devoured the Magnetic Field Power coming from Saint Elephant Ancestor,
Expanding, thickening, condensing, and compressing...
Then unleashing it in a torrent!
BOOM!!!
A pulse of golden crystal magnetic current, far stronger than before and as thick as a mountainous rainbow pillar, pierced the sky. It carved a vacuum tunnel as it slammed into Saint Elephant Ancestor’s armor-clad body.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG—
But this time,
Saint Elephant Ancestor was not pierced and blown apart by the magnetic pulse. The instant the pulse struck him, the prismatic crystal Holy Armor all over his body,
Seemed to transform into a vast golden ocean.
The magnetic pulse was like a meteorite crashing into that vast ocean, stirring up countless waves.
Starting from the point of impact,
Concentric ripples swept across Saint Elephant Ancestor’s entire body until they were shunted away, transforming into cylindrical shockwaves of electric current that pierced the void in all Ten Directions.
BANG! BANG! BANG—
But even so,
The remaining Energy still made Saint Elephant Ancestor grunt in pain, feeling as if countless steel needles were stabbing him from the inside.
But he endured it.
And without the slightest pause,
He threw another incomparably tyrannical, dazzling golden punch at Wu Dao.
’Every Divine Technique has a cost.’
’And a limit to what it can bear!’
He refused to believe it!
That Wu Dao’s Divine Technique had no cost,
And no limit!
’Trying to win a battle of attrition and overwhelm me?’
Wu Dao looked at the mountain-sized fist coming at him again, a strange expression on his face as he seemed to guess Saint Elephant Ancestor’s intention.
’Attrition?’
’Is he stupid?’
’I’m using your own power against you.’
’The only one being drained is you, you idiot!’
’As for the limit...’
’Hmm.’
’That does exist.’
’Otherwise, I’d be completely invincible.’
’But with Saint Elephant Ancestor alone...’
’This Incarnation of mine is only a step below my Main Body.’
’An Emperor among those at the peak of One Step!’
’Even if Saint Elephant Ancestor works himself to death, it would be like trying to put out a forest fire with a cup of water!’
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!!
The chaotic world churned and exploded without end.
Saint Elephant Ancestor swung his mountain-sized fists at Wu Dao like a madman, his punches leaving afterimages in their wake.
Wu Dao, on the other hand, dealt with him as if he were a child.
He casually formed fists and palms,
Returning all of the power Saint Elephant Ancestor threw at him.
Under the continuous bombardment,
Even Saint Elephant Ancestor was starting to buckle. Sounds like nuclear detonations echoed ceaselessly within his mountainous body, and his Juntian Sacred Armor was showing signs of cracking.
’Die!’
’Just die!!’
He roared madly in his heart!
The more he fought, the more terrified he became!
’There’s no limit!’
’There’s absolutely no limit!’
’Wu Dao is like a bottomless pit, a Boundless Sea. No matter how explosively I attack, I can’t stir the slightest ripple, only cause myself more pain.’
’How is this possible...’
’How can a Divine Technique like this exist?!’
’Old Man Heaven, have you lost your mind?!!’
"Just die!!!"
Frustrated, furious, terrified, and panicked, Saint Elephant Ancestor was being driven mad by the oppressive pressure from Wu Dao.
CLANG!!
Catching Saint Elephant Ancestor’s fist once again, Wu Dao’s previously bored expression shifted slightly as he sensed something—
’My Main Body is done.’
’In that case...’
’I’m done playing around here, too.’
CRACK! CRACK—
He rolled his neck.
Wu Dao sent Saint Elephant Ancestor flying once more, then grinned ferociously. "Alright, stop your wailing. It’s just death you want, right? I’ll grant your wish!
Be good now.
Look me in the eye.
It’ll be over soon. It won’t hurt a bit."
BZZZ—
As his voice fell,
Wu Dao’s abyss-like pupils suddenly became infinitely deep and dark. His humanity vanished in an instant, replaced by a majestic divinity that looked down upon all living things!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG—
In that instant,
The Heart Lake Alarm Bell in Saint Elephant Ancestor’s mind rang wildly, threatening to shatter, as an endless aura of death enveloped him from all sides—
’Wu Dao is really going to kill me, ignoring the rules!!’
’And!’
’He absolutely has the power to do it!’
’Flee!!’
BOOM—!
Saint Elephant Ancestor didn’t hesitate for a second.
The threat of death brought out his human weakness and selfishness.
He no longer gave a damn about Dali. All he wanted was to escape, to get as far away from this monster Wu Dao as possible. He didn’t want to die!
But the instant the thought of retreat arose,
CRACKLE—
RUMBLE—
CRASH—
Endless Celestial Punishment lightning flashed brilliantly!
The Endless Netherworld Prison rumbled and turned!
The Endless Sea of Suffering churned with the miseries of countless worlds!
Heaven, Earth, and Man!
The three ultimate calamitous Fist Momenta!
They transformed into the shadows of three majestic Gods and Demons, each wearing an Emperor’s Crown, their spines holding up the heavens. They stood in three different directions, silently looking down on Saint Elephant Ancestor, who was as large as a mountain yet as tiny as an ant.
Three-Phase Divine Punishment Fist!
Celestial Punishment, Purgatory, Sea of Suffering!
Three great Gods and Demons, majestic and boundless!
They blocked his escape in three directions!
As for the path ahead...
Wu Dao stood at the Sky Dome Peak like a Divine King commanding Gods and Demons. He looked down at the utterly terrified Saint Elephant Ancestor, formed a fist, and smiled amicably.
"Come on, say cheese!"
BOOM—
He threw his punch!!
A tri-colored light of divine punishment,
Carrying with it endless Celestial Thunder, Purgatory, and the Sea of Suffering,
It drowned the heavens and the earth.
And it also drowned out a desperate scream of utter terror, as if its source had encountered some unnamable, great horror.
