Chapter 311: Chapter 310: Might of the 4 Symbols
Raging hurricanes, flashing lightning, and burning Ice Flame...
The moment Qin Ya opened his eyes, everything vanished, as if it were all an Illusion. Yet the scene of devastation within a thousand-zhang radius proved it was no fabrication. At that moment, a mountain peak several dozen zhang tall came hurtling through the air!
Qin Ya slowly rose and waved his hand nonchalantly. In that instant, endless lightning erupted from his sleeves. The violent Thunder slammed into the peak and, with a tremendous BOOM, the mountain, dozens of zhang tall, was blasted into countless pieces of rock.
A sudden gale kicked up, sweeping the innumerable stone fragments away. Qin Ya stood at the center of the storm, his white robes remaining spotless. His indifferent eyes gradually sharpened, his gaze like the sharpest blade in the world as it swept over the surrounding Beast Kings.
"ROAR!" "HISS..." "ROAR!"
For some reason, a chill suddenly crept into the hearts of the savage Fierce Beasts of the Celestial Demon Mountain Range, but it was immediately replaced by an endless frenzy. They shrieked ceaselessly, their eyes filled with brutality, eager to tear this human to shreds!
The Giant Ape was the first to strike. With a long howl, it slammed its palm into a nearby mountain. BOOM! It snapped the peak clean off and sent it hurtling toward Qin Ya. The Giant Ape then repeated the feat, launching several more mountain peaks, its ferocious aura making it seem like a veritable Ape Demon!
"The same old trick! You think that can stop me?"
The corner of Qin Ya’s mouth curled up. Endless Thunder surged forth like a tidal wave, smashing all the incoming mountain peaks to dust. But the Thunder’s might did not diminish. Like giant pythons, it twisted, roared, and shrieked, sweeping forward with a ferocious aura that was in no way inferior to the Giant Ape’s...
"ROAR!!"
Facing the violent Thunder, the Giant Ape did not retreat. Instead, it raised its fist and, with a roar, punched at the incoming storm. A deafening explosion erupted as the Thunder was forcibly dispersed. But the Giant Ape did not escape unscathed; its entire arm was dripping with blood and reeked of burnt flesh.
Just then, a domineering roar echoed. A white giant tiger appeared, treading slowly upon a path of ice formed from endless chilling air. It moved with the elegance and composure of the noblest aristocrat attending a banquet. Then, the cold air swept toward Qin Ya like a gale.
"Heh, chilling air? Is that all you’ve got?"
Qin Ya chuckled as an Ice Flame slowly blossomed in his palm, instantly setting the entire sky ablaze. When the chilling air swept over him, not only did it fail to cause a shred of damage, but it actually made the Ice Flame burn even more fiercely.
Frost began to drift down from the sky, and the thousand-zhang radius around them turned into a world of ice and snow!
The dozen or so Fierce Beasts roared uneasily, some even trembling faintly. The white giant tiger was a beast that controlled chilling air, but even it dared not be careless in the face of such a cold. Its golden eyes, glinting with a cold light, stared intently at the youth in the distance before it charged toward Qin Ya!
Following the white giant tiger’s lead, the other Fierce Beasts roared madly and swarmed toward Qin Ya. Though their intelligence was limited, their animal instincts screamed that this human was dangerous—extremely dangerous!
"Ganging up on me is useless!!"
Qin Ya whispered softly. The Frost within the thousand-zhang radius suddenly transformed into Ice Flame. Drop by drop, flake by flake, it landed on the Fierce Beasts, and endless flames enveloped them. The weaker ones were turned into ice sculptures standing tall in the mountain forest in just a few breaths...
The stronger Fierce Beasts mobilized their Qi and Blood and Demonic Qi, desperately resisting the corrosive chill of the Ice Flame as they continued to charge Qin Ya. At the same time, Wind-Splitting Flame, flashes of Thunder, Frost, and a myriad of other beastly energies bombarded him from all directions!
"Four... Symbols... Mysteries!"
Facing the siege of over a dozen Beast Kings, Qin Ya was fearless. He calmly uttered three words, and immediately, Ice Flame soared, Thunder flashed, and gales roared... But that wasn’t all. These different energies slowly began to merge, forming a colossal Power of Nature!
A Power of Nature that contained the four energies of wind, fire, thunder, and ice!
The energies wielded by the beasts swept in, only to be instantly nullified by this Power of Nature. The Power of Nature spread out like ripples on a lake, surging in all directions. Before the Beast Kings could even get within ten zhang of Qin Ya, they were struck by the wave of energy. In the blink of an eye, all of them were blasted a hundred zhang away!!
In an instant, over a dozen Beast Kings, each comparable to a Sky-Controlling Perfection expert, were defeated. It would have been effortless for Qin Ya to take their lives!
The power of the Top Level Four Symbols Mysteries shook the heavens and the earth!
Qin Ya remained where he stood, Ting Xiao hanging at his waist, his expression indifferent. His white robes, still spotless, swayed in the wind. Ever since the Beast Kings had begun their siege, he had not moved a single inch, remaining perfectly calm and composed. He slowly raised his palm. His True Essence surged, and with a mere thought, a formless energy coalesced and swirled in his hand...
’The violent ferocity of thunder, the pervasive nature of wind, the aggressive dominance of fire, and the bone-chilling cold of ice... The energy contained all four elements, conflicting yet codependent. Qin Ya could feel its immense power. This... this is the Four Symbols!’
After comprehending the Four Symbols Mysteries, Qin Ya’s control over Ice Flame, wind, and Thunder reached a new level. Compared to an ordinary, single-element mystery, his Four Symbols was more powerful, more flexible, and allowed for a much more versatile fighting style.
The four energies could be combined at will: Wind and Fire, Thunder and wind, Thunder and fire, ice and fire... But only when all four energies merged did they form the true Four Symbols. The resulting Power of Nature was immeasurably strong!
’The Four Symbols Mysteries is truly worthy of being called a Top Level Mystery!’
A slight smile touched Qin Ya’s lips. The Ting Xiao at his waist buzzed softly and spoke, "Kid, the Four Symbols Mysteries didn’t disappoint, did it? Even though you’ve only comprehended it to the First Heaven, its power is comparable to an ordinary mystery at the Second Heaven. If you use it well, you could even defeat a Celestial Human Dharma Aspect!"
The Celestial Human Dharma Aspect was the signature ability of a Celestial Human, their strongest state in the Celestial Human Realm. The primary requirement was to comprehend a Mysterious Power to the Second Layer. Although Qin Ya’s Four Symbols Mysteries was only at the First Heaven, its might was comparable to an ordinary mystery at the Second Heaven. Defeating a Dharma Aspect might be an exaggeration, but it wasn’t entirely impossible!
"Now that I’ve comprehended the Four Symbols Mysteries, there’s no need to stay in the Celestial Demon Mountain Range any longer. Let’s go," Qin Ya said with a slight smile. Without a second glance at the crowd of Fierce Beasts, he took to the sky and flew off into the distance.
The Fierce Beasts that were lucky enough to survive watched Qin Ya’s departing figure, lingering fear evident in their eyes. They let out a few low growls, then turned to the other heavily injured Beast Kings. An extremely vicious light glinted in their eyes.
"ROAR!" "HISS..."
Ignoring their grievous injuries, these few Fierce Beasts began to fight and kill each other!
In the end, the white giant tiger, now drenched in blood and devoid of its former elegance, emerged as the final victor. It swung its claws, tore out the hearts of the other Beast Kings, and swallowed them whole.
After a short while, the white giant tiger’s injuries had healed by thirty or forty percent, and the chilling air it exuded grew even denser... It glanced at the corpses littering the ground, a flicker of disdain in its eyes. Then, like an elegant nobleman, it strode away, a path of Cold Ice condensing beneath its feet with every step.
