CHAPTER 1534: CHAPTER 1554: POWER AND DIVINE SKILLS

Floating City in the center of the Eternal Life Realm, the Dao field of Dao Patriarch Ben Berry.

While proclaiming the Dao, Dao Patriarch Ben Berry received a whisper from a young disciple, then he slightly raised his eyebrows, smiled, and stood up saying: "Today’s lesson ends here, we will continue tomorrow." Having said that, he waved his hand, and a spacetime portal opened, through which he directly stepped.

In the Southeast, the Dao field of Bryden Vance also opened a spacetime portal, stepping in with one step.

The Northeast, Broderick Hopkins’ Dao field, the Southern Yinqiang Dao field, the Western Shangze Dao field, the Great Black Sky Dao field, and many others, one after another, the Dao Patriarchs left their posts and broke through the air.

Some famous Great Emperors, such as the Goddess Yao, Great God Yi, White Emperor, Javier Higgins, and others also quickly made their way to Divine Machine City.

Indeed, what happened in Divine Machine City has spread throughout the Eternal Life Realm. All the mightiest and top-tier figures are aware, so no one is teaching, practicing, nor creating illusions; they all rush towards Divine Machine City.

Yusuf Zuck, this controversial, legendary, mysterious, and unknown little figure has finally appeared.

Everyone knows Yusuf Zuck is a descendant of the Giant Spirit God. This person walked from the Mortal World to the Eternal Life Realm, overcoming obstacles and leaving his legend and myth everywhere. One can say, he is a small figure that made a successful counterattack.

Of course, just relying on his Giant Spirit God’s bloodline, he has already become a thorn in the eyes of many gods and demons.

Ignoring the great fortune that would come from consuming his flesh and blood, if he continues to develop, this person will definitely become a Dao Patriarch, even stronger than any of them. By then, he will not only oppress them but also likely disrupt all the heavens, so in their eyes, Yusuf Zuck is someone who cannot be allowed to live.

He cannot live; he must die, for no one wishes to see a Giant Spirit God reborn.

Thus, they hurriedly rushed toward Divine Machine City.

...

Meanwhile, in Divine Machine City, Yusuf Zuck began to transform, his giant form growing taller, and in the blink of an eye, he reached a height of a hundred zhang, whereupon a gigantic staff emerged, also increasing in size!

"Bang—" when he grew to a hundred zhang tall, and the staff was even taller than he, he swung it forcefully.

The bigger the staff grows, the stronger it becomes, and the heavier its weight. Hence, when the staff was swung, the sky seemed to collapse and the earth rumbled; a strong astral wind blew so intensely that even the distant onlookers constantly retreated!

"Hmph, is that all you can do? Does growing bigger have any use?" Dao Patriarch Sanqing sneered, standing still in mid-air, extended his thin finger, and pointed at the gigantic staff.

At this moment, the disparity between the two was like that of an elephant to an ant. Yusuf Zuck stood on the ground like a super giant, while Dao Patriarch Sanqing floated in the air like a small butterfly, a stark contrast in their proportions.

However, the energy emitted from Dao Patriarch Sanqing’s finger was not weaker than the energy unleashed by Yusuf Zuck’s gigantic staff.

"Boom—" At the moment when the staff collided with Sanqing’s fingertips, shockwaves appeared in the air, yet neither of them separated after the contact.

This was a battle to the death, so naturally, both sides sought to prove their superiority, continuously enhancing their power to suppress the other.

"Heart Power present, Huge Spirit Divine Power, emerge!"

Yusuf Zuck’s heart began to contract and beat vigorously; an endless torrent of Huge Spirit Divine Power surged from the depths of his heart, transmitted to his arm, then merged with the Power of Merit in his arm, quickly conducting into the gigantic staff like electricity.

"Boom—Boom Boom Boom—" Under the influence of dual force, suppressive energy clashed directly against Dao Patriarch Sanqing’s Power of Merit!

Dao Patriarch Sanqing grunted, his face full of shock; he was unexpectedly weaker than this young lad, his Power of Merit not measuring up to Yusuf Zuck’s.

"Whoosh—Bang—" Dao Patriarch Sanqing was blasted away, his face pale as he struggled to suppress the urge to vomit blood!

"Haha!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily, knowing that his heart and arm combined enabled him to no longer fear a dao patriarch, and indeed, the situation now was like what he imagined; he could entirely suppress any dao patriarch.

At the same time, the retreating Dao Patriarch Sanqing quickly calmed himself, knowing full well that a pure contest of strength wouldn’t yield him victory, and so he decided to compete with Divine Skills!

The difference between power and Divine Skills is stark; Divine Skills, when deployed, can change endlessly, employing finesse to counter strength.

"Hmph, feeling proud? Let me show you what a Dao Patriarch’s Divine Skills truly are!" Dao Patriarch Sanqing exclaimed, raising both hands skyward, his body trembling: "Spacetime Sealing, Temporal Stasis!"

"Buzz—Whir Whir Whir—" Instantly, the void solidified, and time also came to a halt simultaneously.

This was a genuine Law Art. Compared to any Immortal Emperor, Divine Emperor, or Heavenly Emperor, it was at an ancestral level, a true Dao Patriarch’s words turned into reality.

Yet that was not all; as spacetime was sealed and time paused, Dao Patriarch Sanqing feared that Yusuf Zuck might break his divine skills and thus, amplified his incantation: "Gravity Suppression, Hellfire, Wind Hell, Thunder Hell, Spiritual Falling, Karma Manifestation!"

Dao Patriarch Sanqing layered all his divine skills onto Yusuf Zuck; fire, wind, thunder formed in space, assailing Yusuf Zuck, and even cast a spell to throw Yusuf Zuck into demonic disarray, achieving Spiritual Falling.

Once these arts and divine skills were cast onto Yusuf Zuck, he indeed couldn’t move or speak; his eyes turned hazy. Flames burned his body, winds transformed into sharp blades slicing through his skin, while thunder continuously struck his forehead like electric currents traveling in a straight line.

These were Divine Skills, not sheer power. Combatting with power involved a physical struggle, whereas Divine Skills did not necessitate close combat.

"Let’s see how you survive this?" Dao Patriarch Sanqing displayed evident complacency upon noticing that his Divine Skills had completely restrained Yusuf Zuck; a Dao Patriarch is unmatched, how could a mere nobody compare?

And at that very moment, countless energy fluctuations emanated from the sky; subsequently, one spacetime portal after another opened, and Dao Patriarchs, Heavenly Emperors, demons, etc., all leaped out in succession.

Upon arrival, they saw Yusuf Zuck, situated at the eye of the storm.

"Haha, Sanqing, are you trying to hog it all?" Dao Patriarch Ben Berry laughed heartily.

"Indeed, Sanqing, couldn’t you wait for us?" Bryden Vance laughed as well.

"Sanqing, you don’t look well, were you injured? Did he actually injure you?" Yinqiang Dao Patriarch asked in disbelief.

"Indeed, this evildoer’s strength is astonishing, possessing immense Huge Spirit Divine Power. In terms of strength, I am no match for him, but in Divine Skills, even a hundred of him would turn to ash." Dao Patriarch Sanqing smirked, continuing: "And, all of you, I am hosting a Giant Spirit Banquet in three days, at which time, we will all drink the blood of the Giant Spirit and feast on its flesh!"

"Hahaha..."

"Thank you, thank you!"

All the Dao Patriarchs thanked him repeatedly, for it was rumored that consuming the blood and flesh of the Giant Spirit could potentially advance one to a Heavenly Lord!

However, at this moment, what Dao Patriarch Sanqing did not notice was that Yusuf Zuck’s originally blurred gaze had become clear again, yet he had not escaped the constraints of spacetime and heaven!
