Chapter 641: Chapter 640: Shattered Star Martial Arts, Seven Rings Great Method
"Arrogant!"
Xing Shuzi’s face darkened exceedingly. Jade Lion’s behavior was not simply disregarding him, but outright disrespecting his authority.
He held his ground against the roaring fist, sneering as he pointed out a finger.
The finger radiance wasn’t substantial, but it was incredibly solid, seemingly composed of countless minute stellar particles. The moment it collided with the fist radiance, a chilling sound as though a blade was driven into flesh echoed out.
Thud...thud...thud...
A beam of starlight abruptly penetrated the fist radiance, shot out from behind, and rapidly charged towards Mu Ling.
Just when everyone thought Xing Shuzi had gained the upper hand, a three-feet high lion phantom suddenly rushed out from the voids of the penetrated fist radiance, plunging its fangs towards the front.
Xing Shuzi did not speak a word, he took a step, instantly elevating to mid-air. The suppressed energy within his body erupted like a volcano, storming out overwhelmingly.
Whoosh!
Centered on Xing Shuzi, a layer of dark blue aura spread out, reminiscent of an overturned inkwell painting the void, the multitude of small celestial particles floating within, sparkled like a diamond, emanating a dazzling brilliance.
The lion phantom had just charged into the dark blue aura when it was shattered into pieces.
On the other side, the finger strength composed of starlight was grinded into oblivion by a burst of radiant gold light. It seemed as if there was a golden mountain of blades and a sea of fire, turning nearly half of the sky gold.
Before anyone could react, two earth-shattering forces had clashed together.
Boom...Boom...Boom...
It was as if the stars had been pierced, sending out large sparks flying in all directions. Some detonated the sea of clouds, others landed on the mountain peaks, raising ripples in the Array System. And some of them collided with each other, causing more sparks, akin to a golden meteor shower, showering all over sight.
Everyone, except for a few Divine Barrier Realm Masters, were dumbfounded.
Many of them were witnessing the showdown between terrestrial immortals for the first time. The sheer aura alone left them speechless, their eyes fixated, afraid to even breathe heavily.
"So, so strong, I feel I can’t even withstand their aura,"
A high-ranking Lord swallowed his saliva.
From the Xuanqi Realm onwards, a warrior’s aura can affect reality. When it reaches the Divine Barrier Realm, the effect is far stronger than many warriors’ attacks as it carries the power of martial arts.
Truthfully, the aura of Xing Shuzi and Jade Lion would not instantly kill this high-ranking Lord, it was merely his illusion. However, this indirectly indicated how powerful the two men were.
"Incorporating the power of martial arts into their aura, such a marvelous method!"
Shi Xiaole was likewise astonished by the duo’s strength. Unlike the others, he was more interested in how the two used their auras earlier, and silently considered this in his mind.
Whether he could advance to the Divine Barrier Realm was never a question for Shi Xiaole. In fact, if he were to wish, he could immediately break through to the Divine Barrier Realm, but that would be pointless.
Now that he had given birth to a vague image of the Wind Sword Way, could he further incorporate the Wind Sword Way into his aura?
If so, perhaps his strength would increase even further!
Power, has no end. What Shi Xiaole needed to do, was to surpass his own records one after another, break through his limits time and again, until he couldn’t go any further. Only then would be his opportunity to undergo metamorphosis.
Spreading out his mental power, Shi Xiaole observed the battle between the two men in the arena while comparing and trying to understand the methods that only terrestrial immortals could execute.
In mid-air, Xing Shuzi consecutively pointed out ten times, each point added an obscure blue light cluster out of nowhere. As the light cluster zoomed past numerous mountain peaks, it made the hearts of the onlookers tremble.
If it were not for the protection of the Array System, not many people could withstand this, except for the Divine Barrier Realm Masters. And this was merely the residual force of Xing Shuzi’s attack.
"Shattered Star Martial Arts."
Atop the six-thousand-meters peak, an old man with long whiskers murmured, his eyebrows twitching involuntarily.
What Xing Shuzi had comprehended was indeed the Shattered Star Martial Arts from the top-tier martial arts.
This branch of martial arts, although not as profound as the Stellar Martial Path, was also guided by the countless stars in the sky. It was not easy to make progress initially; however, once cultivated, one can seamlessly integrate offensive and defensive tactics, making it very difficult to deal with.
Up until now, Xing Shuzi had only mastered a portion of Shattered Star Martial Arts, but the destructive power he unleashed surpassed many veteran Terrestrial Immortals.
Even the man with long whiskers had to admit, considering the time Xing Shuzi had entered the Divine Barrier Realm, his strength was already quite formidable.
A golden figure was darting through the stellar finger radiance. He seemed to predict the position of the finger radiance, always managing to evade at the crucial moment and retaliate.
"Illusory Zen Star Changing Finger!"
Suddenly, Xing Shuzi’s body became blurry, as if it had merged with the surrounding dark blue aura, and his presence disappeared.
Whoosh!
A comet finger radiance fell from the sky, abruptly charging towards Mu Ling.
Mu Ling remained calm, stepping back not in a straight line, but evasively in a twisted manner, completely unpredictable.
Often, the moment he just moved, a comet finger radiance would appear at his previous position, shooting through and heavily landing on a nearby mountain peak, scaring people to cold sweats.
Yet people were more shocked by Jade Lion’s reaction speed and ability. How on earth did he judge it?
"Jade Lion’s mental power is indeed unparalleled. It’s said that even the old man from Carefree Unmoving City praised him, stating his mental power talent is unparalleled across all ages."
With strong mental power, it was a given that one react swiftly. But to be fast like Jade Lion, able to accurately predict the trajectory of the finger radiance in such a tense war situation was something people had never seen before.
Spying on a leopard through a tube, the terror of Jade Lion was unspeakable.
Many people’s chests were heaving incessantly, as they stared tensely at the increasingly fierce battle.
"You’ve fallen into my trap."
Seeing his attack had no effect, Xing Shuzi suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, my master’s Illusory Zen Star Changing Finger, is most unpredictable. If you block the first nine attacks, the defeat would be even more miserable!"
A burst of laughter rang out from the heart of the chubby-faced man among Xing Shuzi’s two disciples.
"Insignificant skill, Raging Lion Fist!"
His body eerily frozen mid-air, this time, not only did Mu Ling not retreat, but he threw a punch diagonally downward.
The domineering golden fist light shook the sea of clouds with a loud rumble, immediately tearing open a hole several kilometers wide. The comet-like finger lights had just rushed up and were immediately melted away by the fist light.
"Defeat!"
Before people even had time to marvel at how the Jade Lion had broken the unpredictable Illusory Zen Star Changing Finger, they saw a ten-foot-large finger descending from the sky, pressing towards the Jade Lion who had just thrown a punch.
The finger’s authenticity was hard to discern, even the fingerprints on it were clearly visible, as if it were a judgment from the heavens. Under its pressure, all the masters on the scene felt as if the end of the world was upon them, with their souls trembling and having no will to resist at all.
"Whether you can withstand the Illusory Zen Star Changing Finger or not, what awaits you is defeat, Jade Lion, you’re too arrogant!"
The roar of venting anger made the sound spread out in an extremely fast manner. Before rushing into people’s ears, the ten-foot finger light almost pressed onto Mu Ling’s body.
Click, click, click.
However.
At the critical moment, Mu Ling’s pupils turned golden. Two solid golden light rings, one front and one back, enveloped the finger light, breaking it in two. The violent Vigorous Air tilted wantonly, and the sea of clouds, which had just gathered, was once again shattered, taking a long time to recover.
"He blocked it?"
Xing Shuzi’s face was somewhat gloomy.
The combination of Illusory Zen Star Changing Finger and Absolute Finger Force was his major lethal weapon for dominating the Martial World. It had defeated two Terrestrial Immortals in the past, but was it broken by a young man who had just entered the Divine Barrier Realm?
"Looks like, he’s cultivated the Seven Rings Great Method up to the fifth ring. His progress is quite impressive."
Gui Zhihang standing atop the mountain, his eyes were shining, profoundly terrifying.
The Seven Rings Great Method was the world-renowned spiritual unique skill of the Carefree Unmoving City and had reached the superior first-class level. It is understood that superior first-class martial arts are extremely rare themselves, and not many exist among the top forces.
And the superior first-class level of spiritual unique skills, to what extent they are treasured, is almost comparable to top-level martial arts, even more difficult to practice than top-level martial arts. Because if the spirit power does not meet the standard, one can forget about practicing it in one’s lifetime.
In the history of Carefree Unmoving City, only one person had cultivated the Seven Rings Great Method to the sixth ring. During his time, his prestige caused the Martial World to tremble.
Duanmu Keren raised an eyebrow, making her upwardly curved eyes seem more contemptuous.
Although she did not take Jade Lion seriously, she well knew that he was a rare talent, especially in terms of spiritual power, leading the world, even they could not compare.
"Spiritual Great Method?"
Feeling the bits and pieces of fluctuations in the air, Shi Xiaole showed a different color.
These fluctuations may not seem strong, but that’s because their power has been exhausted. In essence, they are stronger than anyone Shi Xiaole has encountered before.
The most amazing thing was the Spiritual Great Method used by the Jade Lion, which had achieved the effect of materializing the spirit. It was clearly a superior first-class unique skill.
A terrifying idea rose in Shi Xiaole’s heart. With his current spiritual power, if he practiced this kind of martial art, could he arm wrestle with the Terrestrial Immortals?
Of course, cultivation is not that easy. First-class superior martial skills have to a certain extent already transcended the realm of the mundane, and even people with high comprehension can’t easily understand them.
"Xing Shuzi, you will be the first Terrestrial Immortal to be defeated by me, Jade Lion."
Hovering in the air, Mu Ling spoke calmly and dominantly.
The golden pupils, like two golden lamps, pierced through the void, seeing through the disguise. Just by looking at the Jade Lion, people felt as if their souls had been seized by those pupils, and there were no secrets left in their hearts.
They hurriedly shifted their gazes, but those with weak spiritual power were unable to do so and got deeper and deeper instead.
"Star Flash Game!"
As a third-tier expert in the Divine Barrier Realm, Xing Shuzi’s spiritual power was incredibly strong, but he still got affected. He quickly operated the spiritual secret method while exerting his strongest body technique, circling around the Jade Lion and seeking the best opportunity to take action.
One figure after another, wherever the starlight appeared, there was Xing Shuzi, making the audience dazzled.
Unfortunately, the Seven Rings Great Method could not only launch an attack, but it could also see through the falsehoods of the world. In the eyes of the Jade Lion, there was only one real body of Xing Shuzi.
"Raging Lion Fist!"
The boxing light was filled with violence and killing intent. With a forward dash from the Jade Lion, he, who had attained the Divine Barrier Realm, surprisingly burst out with a speed not slower than Xing Shuzi, shocking all four corners.
Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!
The fist and finger collided at a speed transcending everyone’s perception. Within a radius of tens of thousands of meters, the sea of clouds was torn apart again and again, unable to gather. The array system on the mountain peak was flashing like a strobe light.
After another intense collision, countless figures disappeared in an instant, as if they had been wiped away by a cloth.
"A mere first-tier of the Divine Barrier Realm, and you can fight me to this extent, Jade Lion, you are already worthy of pride. Next, I’ll use my full strength to defeat you."
Xing Shuzi took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
