512: Chapter 157: Commemorating My Master with the Emperor Divine Dao!

The moment fury arose in his heart, the nearby Hou Ling’er and Feng Jiu Xian immediately sensed it and were visibly startled—although the fury was fleeting, it was so terrifying that it instilled fear even in them, who were also genius cultivators of Xuan Restriction.

Hou Ling’er, moved by intuition, actively grasped Zhou Yan’s hand and inquired, “Zhou Yan, what’s wrong?”

“Zhou Yan, don’t…

don’t get agitated.”

Though Feng Jiu Xian did not hold Zhou Yan’s hand, her words were equally gentle.

Zhou Yan grasped Hou Ling’er’s hand in response, gently patted it, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve just discovered something infuriating.

But those who did this will ensnare themselves!”

A sinister smile appeared on Zhou Yan’s lips.

Then, the power of the Purple Flame Void quietly spread, sending strange, unknown runes rippling toward the Ancient Array, which began to undergo inexplicable transformations.

Using the runes power that combined Netherworld Rune and Ancient Array Rune, under the shield of the Purple Flame Void power, Zhou Yan modified the array without drawing anyone’s attention.

Moreover, he induced another type of transformation in the array.

The array remained the same, and its guardian power still existed, yet it could no longer be controlled by the Saints.

Furthermore, this array could not be broken through in a short time!

By then, if his disciple was fine, Zhou Yan might grant Ji Wu a merciful end.

But should he truly lose his mind and the Saints not intervene, Zhou Yan vowed to use the Killing Spirit Divine Dao to shatter Ji Wu’s will, leaving him completely broken.

At that time, he planned to make Ji Wu live a life more unbearable than death.

Modifying the array required time, and this duration was critical.

During this period, under Zhou Yan’s watchful eye, a certain reversal occurred in the battle.

“Hmm?

I didn’t expect you to have such a tactic!”

A savage smile appeared on Ji Wu’s face, filled with a chilling and ruthless demeanor.

“There’s much more where that came from, you unfilial grandchild, are you capable enough to experience them all?”

Hou Chen was somewhat slick with words; his nature was unrestrained, completely resembling a rogue.

Perhaps due to his undying childish heart, he always enjoyed taking advantage over others in speech, much like Xiong Ba.”

“You little bastard, just roll back home and drink your milk!”

Having been verbally suppressed by Hou Chen and consistently holding back in their bouts, Ji Wu had been simmering with rage.

Now, upon receiving a message from the Saints and sensing that the Ancient Array had ‘changed as he wished’, he erupted.

“Shh—”

Ji Wu’s harsh words immediately elicited a wave of hissing; his previously refined, graceful, and elegant demeanor was shattered in an instant.

But at this point, where victory crowns the king, Ji Wu didn’t care; as long as he slaughtered Hou Chen and then used Ba Huang’s bloodthirsty tactics to devour the latter’s essence and spirit to strengthen himself, he didn’t mind any method.

Because he knew, all rules were actually set by the powerful, victory belonged to the strong, without many reasons or excuses.

“Drink your grandmother’s milk!”

Hou Chen immediately glared, retorting angrily.

“Pfft—”

Many cultivators were stunned, then burst into laughter.

Drinking Ji Wu’s grandmother’s milk wasn’t that essentially referring to Ji Wu’s father?

This Hou Chen, constantly changing roles, had just played the role of grandfather, and now he was playing father.

“Sharp-tongued, I’ll smash all your teeth shortly!”

Ji Wu bellowed, and another streak of sword light flashed out, but this sword, unleashed in his rage, was unreserved.

Hou Chen, hands on his hips, laughed, “You’ve already lost quite a few teeth to daddy, how many more do you want to lose?

What, you’re actually losing your temper?”

While Hou Chen was still careless, he suddenly felt the sword was exceptionally sharp, almost piercing through the void.

He was startled and twisted his body like an eel to dodge the strike.

In that instant, he was immediately at a disadvantage.

The next moment, Ji Wu unleashed an endless barrage of attacks, going all out with a formidable burst of the Light of Destruction.

“Slaughter Extreme!”

Ji Wu roared.

“Boom!”

Turbulent energy surged, a dazzling and bewitching blood light soared into the sky, and a colossal fierce beast Sword Spirit suddenly appeared, illuminating the already bright heavens.

As the wind howled and divine clouds swirled, the powerful energy roared like an angry sea, fiercely striking at Hou Chen.

Hou Chen’s expression turned solemn, his face no longer showing the earlier playful demeanor, but rather became utterly serious.

His fair face focused intently, his eyes shining like stars.

Facing this endless energy, he suddenly surged his blood energy, which exploded like flames, forming an endless stream of blood light.

Blood light soaring into the sky, the Sword Dao of all things in heaven and earth trembled in submission at that moment.

The Emperor’s Sword Intent was released, and the true Emperor Qi Sword Body transformed, shaking heaven and earth with its immense blood energy.

Ji Wu’s terrifying attack was completely suppressed and shattered inch by inch.

The horrific river of blood energy, carrying rolling energy waves, annihilated towards Ji Wu.

Ji Wu’s expression was solemn.

Earlier, he had held back his combat strength, not expecting that Hou Chen would also not use his full strength.

At present, though he had not used his ultimate move, he still went all out, and Hou Chen’s force was hardly inferior.

“Rumble!”

Ji Wu burst forth with Essence Qi, transforming the blooding into Three Souls and Seven Spirits that, like multiple Ji Wu, formed a halo resembling a universe.

This halo, with the Three Souls and Seven Spirits at its core, spun like a cluster of stars at the universe’s center, evolving into a terrifying Dao.

This Dao manifested, and endless waves of Essence Qi shattered; Hou Chen felt as if struck by lightning, his body shook, and he was repelled and thrown backward.

This anomaly flashed and disappeared in an instant, and Ji Wu suddenly appeared beside Hou Chen, his pitch-black sword emitting a strand of black light, aiming to kill Hou Chen by targeting his head.

“Hah!”

Hou Chen bellowed angrily, throwing out a punch.

This technique was the essence of the Xingyi Dragon Fist.

Hou Chen had actually learned the essence of the Xingyi Tao!

Zhou Yan, who was engraving Ancient Array Runes and differentiating the Holy Array, was startled by this scene.

From this, Zhou Yan deduced that Hou Chen had never forgotten the time they climbed mountains and waded through rivers to enter the Purple Mist Sea and then into the lineage of Emperor Sword Wuji—all the memories Zhou Yan carried on his back.

During that time, the techniques Zhou Yan used most were Xingyi Dragon Swordsmanship and Xingyi Boxing.

Now, Hou Chen performed these techniques, and their might nearly matched Zhou Yan’s, which was utterly shocking to him.

This technique appeared focused, almost like a killer move!

The black light emitted by Ji Wu was something Zhou Yan felt would trouble him if he faced it himself, but Hou Chen neutralized most of its energy with a simple punch, and the scant amount of remaining energy was effortlessly blocked by Hou Chen’s robust defensive capability when it finally struck his body.

He fully utilized the effect of his punch and his body’s defense, confident in his own protection.

Zhou Yan was so impressed by this combat awareness that his gaze brightened.

Not only him, but all the Cultivators present exclaimed in admiration for such combat sense, capability, and reaction.

“Is this still a little kid?

This is what a combat genius looks like, with such rapid reactions!”

“If I were to face that move, I would undoubtedly be killed, with no chance to counter.”

“This Star River technique by Ji Wu, unknown and terrifying indeed!”

“This method of Ji Wu Xuanzhe carries an aura of Divine Soul, seemingly a kind of Divine Killing Dao, how terrifying!”

…

Cultivators initiated discussions simultaneously.

At this moment, Ji Wu launched another strand of black light, his Three Souls and Seven Spirits behind him shining like ten dazzling suns, displaying the immensely terrifying power of Heavenly Dao.

This was his great success with Three Souls and Seven Spirits, now understanding deeper Dao, and deploying such power signified that he might unleash his near-nine Combat Power.

Previously, even in competitions against Eternal Xuanzhe, he hadn’t used this technique, but now, because of Hou Chen, he had activated it.

“My Master might no longer be here, but his inheritance eternally exists.

Combining the Xingyi Tao, I will derive the Emperor Divine Dao.”

“To honor my Master with the Emperor Divine Dao.”

“Nobody can take Master’s woman away; whoever dares to, I will kill them!” Hou Chen suddenly declared.

Following that, he spat out a mouthful of ancient blood.

As the ancient blood appeared, Heaven and Earth trembled, and even the bloodline within Zhou Yan felt as though ignited, giving rise to a restless fluctuation.

Zhou Yan was profoundly shocked.

He then saw Hou Chen’s bloodline erupt like a volcano, blood roaring like a tsunami within his body, causing his body to swell a thousand times.

He no longer looked small; he appeared like an evolved fierce beast, immensely robust.

Not only that, his pitch-black hair flew about, and a blood-colored Emperor’s Illusion halo appeared behind his head, resembling an ancient Divine presence descending.

This explosive Essence Qi shook everyone to their core.

And with the Emperor’s Illusion halo behind him, it was so dazzling that it suppressed and outshone all the brilliance of Ji Wu.

Ji Wu looked exceedingly solemn; he had never expected a disciple with the Emperor Qi Sword Body, just a mere five or six-year-old child, to be so terrifyingly powerful, which could defy the heavens if he grew up!

Feeling immensely pressured, Ji Wu snorted coldly, manifesting his own Combat Armor.

The purple gold Combat Armor appeared suddenly on his body, instantly erasing his previous dishevelment.

He, too, increased in size, his figure towering, his cascading hair tied up with a purple gold crown.

His entire body radiated an intense brilliance; ten Soul Bodies hung behind him, enhancing his Combat Power like ten Divine beings’ support.

His eyes shone brilliantly like cold stars, every part of his body seemingly radiating an extraordinary edge.

“Buzz—”

Ji Wu acted, deploying all of twelvefold Combat Power from his body at an unbelievably fast speed.

The icy light enveloped Heaven and Earth, a golden Sword Light severing the Dao patterns of Heaven and Earth, cutting through the space within the Guardian Ancient Array.

The Void seemed to shatter, and the Heavenly Vault trembled.

This strike made ninety-nine percent of the genius Cultivators on-site feel inferior and unable to withstand it.

Zhou Yan frowned upon seeing this move, and the speed of his engraving the Ancient Array was suppressed once again.

His expression solemn, he focused on the battle of his disciple Hou Chen.
