Chapter 189
Life cultivators were one of the few rare types of cultivators . For example, those who use the energy of death, who wield death energy are known as death cultivators, there are also Sword cultivators and so on .
Life cultivators are extremely rare and hard to deal with, one because they have extremely strong healing abilities and unparalleled recovering and two was their weird techniques .
Arthur has been mistaken for one due to his ethereal aura but this only added to old man Tian’s caution and made him wonder why is a Life cultivator here and why is he attacking him .
Although he already took out his treasures, he didn’t immediately attack . Seeing the other party remaining silent, he couldn’t help but ask
"Friend, the land is vast and there is room for everyone, why bother to fight amongst ourselves in such a foreign place . "
What was also known about Life cultivators is that they disliked fighting . They were known as peaceful individuals and would only fight in very few extreme cases which confused Tian even more, however, what was a fact was that this grey-haired man was indeed a Life cultivator as that aura could never be faked .
Actually, Tian had once seen a Life cultivator from a distance and that person’s power was beyond one’s imagination, it made gods afraid and devils shiver, it was merely a small glance but it made Tian remember it throughout his life .
A few seconds passed but he heard no response which stressed old Tian but he still remained his defensive posture . From that previous exchange, he knew that this man was no weakling and a fight between them is not advantageous to him especially when he was no confidence in getting out unscathed without using some of his life-saving treasures .
Finally, the cold silence was broken when Arthur bashfully smiled and said with an emotional tone
"I had long yearned to fight a God head-on, I wish that elder can fulfill this mortal’s request!"
As his words were finished, he disappeared from his spot and attacked old Tian . He was confident in even defeating Delia, so fighting this old man is not impossible . However, defeating and killing are no similar things, he never killed a God . Meyzu, one of the leaders of the Underworld was severely injured but not killed, he only died at last because he used his life essence to stab him in the back, inflicting a fatal blow .
Fortunately for the old man, he was fully prepared, he raised his big shield meeting Arthur’s violent kick . Just as the impact was going to occur, Arthur’s figure vanished from Tian’s sight and by the next split second, he felt an unprecedented coldness coming from his back . Before he could react, a punch landed on his back, the fist had a hint of green light, almost unnoticeable .
It was but a single fist but that was more than enough to create a very loud explosion, shaking mountains and shattering the earth itself . The old man, who was emitting a strong golden light was sent flying fifty meters away from Arthur before he managed to stabilize his body .
His Golden Drop Metal Armor showed signs of shattering as cracks appeared on his back . He was shocked to see a treasure of this grade being almost destroyed from a single dread and this only added to the dread Tian felt .
’Such monstrous physique!’
Cold sweat dripped down his spines as he looked at the smiling man, feeling even more threatened . Not even ten seconds passed before the same feeling of danger enveloped Tian, without hesitation, he roared and raised his shield to meet what was coming at him .
Hundreds, if not thousands of long dark spears smashed at the shield creating golden sparks and pushing the old man inch by inch, it was like being bombarded by thick needles . Old Tian could feel the ominousness and chilliness of this dark energy, his thoughts became erratic and confused as Life Cultivators should not be this absurd, even if they get angry, they re not this crazy .
’This crazy is a maniac’
Seeing Arthur’s shadow arrive next to him, Old Tian finally moved his right leg to the front and loudly roared, bashing his shield to the sky and stabbing his sword into the earth .
A golden triangle was formed as he activated the special formation of his battle armor . A blinding golden light was emitted from the triangle and when Arthur appeared next to him, Tian pressed his hands on the triangle and shouted
"Form, expand, blast! ’Golden Ox Blast!’ "
The golden triangle which was as big as Tian’s body suddenly rotated and faced its peak to the ground and shot a yellow beam the thickness of a man’s abdomen right at Arthur, who just appeared in front of the triangle .
unaffected by the beam, Arthur murmured something and used his fingers to right seals with an extremely fast speed to the point that you could only see white blurs . When the yellow beam was just about to hit him, a palm-sized bronze platform had appeared on his hand .
Holding this platform, Arthur raised his hand and smashed this platform on the beam . What was even more surprising is that the platform suddenly expanded in size and was as big as a tennis field, coupled with Arthur’s high Strength and a smooth, almost flawless control of Nether Energy, the technique ’[Raging Bronze Platform]’ showed unbeatable mightiness and heaven-shattering destructive power .
The yellow beam was turned into flying white sparks in just one swing of Arthur, however, to Old Tian’s demise, this was but the beginning .
Next, Arthur proceeded to violently smash this huge bronze platform on the old man without showing any mercy or restraint . The poor old God could only grit his teeth and use his shield trying to block this bronze platform, moreover, he was finally forced to show his God Spirit, which had the shape of an ox .
The Ox was like a small mountain, emitting a light as bright as the sun and having a pressure that could render anyone below the God Realm frozen from its power, it was too suffocating .
God Spirits represented the Gods, Tian practiced the Golden Ox cultivation technique since he started the road of immortality, so naturally, it would take this shape . The God Spirits are also affected by the experiences and personality of the person, so no God Spirits can be similar .
However, Arthur was completely unaffected by this, he held the bronze platform and said
"An ox, even with godly powers, still have to submit to a tiger!"
He heavily smashed the platform on the big golden ox, which didn’t stay still and used its enormous body to stomp on Arthur and the bronze platform on top of him .
As to be expected from a clash between two Gods, the nearby mountain started shattering and peaks fell, the sky turned dark and the winds whistled loudly, even the nearby Vyncent’s group were alarmed and came to see what’s happening only to see the Tian fighting with an unknown man .
They stared with awe at the battle of Gods, it isn’t common to witness such a thing so they might have an epiphany or a enlightenment . Only Vyncent was struck with endless fear, he wasn’t so casual and merely took a second before he turned around and disappeared from this area . He used his secret technique to its maximum potential, trying to get away from this area . He already knew what was to become of his fellow disciples and he didn’t care, life was precious and camaraderie comes next, but what camaraderie are we talking about? Such things don’t exist between them, they only share a common mission and just so happened to be assigned together, and it just so happened that danger came so he had no choice but to change his plans and escape . At least facing some pigolo patroles and hiding for a while is better than facing Arthur, who was like a nightmare to Vyncent, who witnessed what that man was capable of .
Maybe Elder Tian would be able to defeat Arthur, that was what any arrogant person would think, but Vyncent had been cautious ever since he was young, a mistake can be done once, twice at most, but if it happened a third time, then one can only blame his rashness and idiocy .
. . . . . . .
Such a vicious battle cannot pass unnoticeable from the pigolo, they soon got ahold of what is happening and a battalion was already watching from afar . Although this area was far away from the main headquarters, there is still a battalion that was stationed to guard this place .
Commander Fierce Tiger was in charge of this battalion and right now, he was staring at the howling winds and the raging sky whilst two figures, one was a golden ox as big as a mountain and the other was a man holding a bronze platform and smashing it on the ox . The scene was a bit strange and comedic, but none dared to laugh, heck! None dared to even breath in the face of two facing gods . Even with a battalion under his command, Fierce Tiger was not brave enough to meddle, he was just here to watch, nothing more .
. .
As the battle reached its apex, Tian controlled his ox and charged along with it, trying to deal a fatal blow to Arthur but it was to no avail . Even with his God Spirit, he was totally suppressed in every sense of the word . After merely twenty minutes passed, the bronze platform was unscathed and emitting a majestic luster, as for the golden ox, it had countless places where there were cracks and gaping holes, it didn’t take a genius to guess that it was about to be extinguished .
If a God Spirit is extinguished then the user would be heavily wounded but he wouldn’t die from that . So every God who summoned his God Spirit have to be prepared or else if it was extinguished then not only would he also be wounded, he would not be able to use it until he recovers completely .
"T-this, this is impossible!"
Seeing his God Spirit fading from existence as Arthur struck with his bronze platform again, Tian was rendered speechless, he coughed a large mouthful of blood and retreated a few steps . His face was deathly pale and his hands were shivering, one look and it was enough to know he was wounded and on the verge of collapse . To use one’s God Spirit required large amounts of Nether Energy and precise control, once the connection is broken, meridians will be damaged and the Dantian will close itself to self-protect the life of the user .
"In front of absolute power, everything else is useless . Gods or Devils, those are titles but when someone is strong enough, even a Mortal could claim the spot of the strongest existence! It is time for this to finish . "
With a calm tone and a hanging peaceful smile on his face, Arthur lifted the bronze palm and used his other hand to also lift the platform then he rushed at Tian and used his maximum strength to crush the raging platform on the old man, not leaving a way to leave .
Facing the imminent danger and being in a desperate situation, Old Tian was still unwilling to face his death, he madly shouted and took out an old tattered paper, it looked like a normal paper but once he injected he Nether Energy, an ancient aura which could suppress the heavenly laws was summoned . The Incoming platform was met with a strong resistance and bounced off before it turned into countless sparks which dispersed and vanished in the air in a matter of seconds .
As he took out his life-saving treasure, Old Tian glared angrily and madly at Arthur and sinisterly said
"To force me to take this! You truly are strong but like you said, in front of absolute power, no one can resist! Now die!"
