Chapter 178 - This Brat Must Die

The celestial temple quaked for a slight second, Zhong Yue was shocked to see that only a shallow palm mark was left on the wall surface, What a strong building! Indeed worthy as the celestial temples of Shan Shen Celestial Race, they are carved with various totem patterns to strengthen themselves to a point even stronger than soul weapons!

Although it was not his full strength, it must not to be underestimated either; the ordinary soul weapons would not even remain intact if he had struck them instead of the wall. His strength as it was now was able to easily shatter them to pieces.

The same strike could have ruined the whole celestial temple if it were not for the totem patterns that had reinforced the temple!

And yet, there was only a shallow palm mark on the temple wall, which strongly suggested that although the celestial temples were only created by the Wan Xiang Realm, the totem patterns on the walls were in fact, the genuine totem patterns of the Shan Shen celestial temple – this lent it incredible augmentations in its defensive abilities!

The Shan Shen celestials were four-armed stone giants – masters in the arts of defense. Their celestial temples were strong and firm, and could be considered as one of the strongest reinforced bunkers in the world!

Even though the simulated celestial temples replicated by the secret realm were not as strong the the real ones, they were still magnificent.

Zhong Yue circumnavigated the whole battlefield to scout the terrain. From time to time, he would clench onto the mountain rocks to determine their hardness, surged his psyche into the ground and inspected the hardness of the soil, and fly into the air to feel the flow of the winds. After he was done with his reconnaissance, with a slight flicker of his body, he was back at the tip of a celestial temple.

Xiao Jin’s heart stiffened up as she watched him carrying out a reconnaissance on the battlefield. She started to regret her words, now wanting to do the same, but her pride was stopping her. Just when she was hesitating, the white-robed priest said, “Time’s up, the battle starts … Now!”

Just as the words came out from his mouth, a loud boom reverberated in the air. Two palms slammed onto one another as the battlers clashed together. Right away, a raging storm was raised in the whole secret realm!

It was different from the previous battle between Qiu Jin’er and Xiao Chuwen; the battle between Zhong Yue and Xiao Jin had turned white-hot right at the start, the duo clashed onto one another, and the powers contained within their mortal bodies erupted out with impunity!

Their overpowering strengths erupted waves after waves of compressive force, trembling the air, and distorting the visions of the audiences.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen started casting the【Seventh Sword Style】, the seven sword silks were shot up from the bottom right at Xiao Jin, planning to entrap her into the sword array; while Xiao Jin’s Yuan Shen quickly manipulated her Wu Xing Wheel and slammed down, suppressing the five elemental Sword Qi, breaking off the【Seventh Sword Style】!

What a brilliant lady!

Zhong Yue’s heart stiffened up, he had once killed a Xiao Mang celestial with the【Seventh Sword Style】, but who knew this Xiao Jin would be able to spot the flaw in his【Seventh Sword Style】and suppress the five elemental Sword Qi with her Wu Xing Wheel, easily breaking off the sword array!

“A little brat that didn’t even know what luck he had that allowed him to open the five realms, even more so, they are all so small and petty. How dare you even challenge me? Wan Xiang Wheel, the almighty power of myriads!”

Xiao Jin sneered coldly, the Wan Xiang Wheel revolved on her back, immediately, a strong surge of power gushed out from her Yuan Shen into her body. She was tiny and petite compared to her fellow celestials, but as the power flooded through her mortal body, the power it imbued within her caused her muscles to bulge out, and her once charming countenances now deformed into monstrous faces that were criss-crossed with a grotesque network of veins that crawled across them!

Her limbs grew strong and sturdy, and her chests puffed out like a baboon. Her skin seemed to be bubbling as fist-sized meatballs of muscle crawled under her skin!

Pang pang pang!

The exquisite clothes that adorned her previously lithe body were stretched over their limit and torn apart, exposing eight breasts on her chest that were lined in four rows. Before this, her once hourglass-shaped body was extremely alluring but it was now a grotesque amalgamation of bulging muscle.

As of now, the figure of the charming lady Xiao Jin was no more, not even the most heavily-built man could contend with her muscular stature!

Xiao Jin launched out a punch and Zhong Yue lifted his hand to fend it off. Immediately, he was sent flying into the air like a meteor —Krong!— he crashed onto the temple wall, quaking the celestial temple, and cracked the surface of the wall!

Xiao Jin bent her legs and sprung out —Krong!— leaving two deep footsteps behind as she landed on the street floors, forming web-like fissures with herself as the epicenter!

“Human, you’re very proud of your mortal body, aren’t you? But do you even realize, that we, the celestials, possess the strongest mortal bodies?!”

Her three heads growled deeply and her voices mingled together into a strange and eerie choir. Then, black scales emerged from beneath her skin, reflecting a dark-gold luster. They covered her whole body as she marched over towards Zhong Yue who was still embedded in the wall surface!

“In front of me, your mortal body, is just a clown’s joke!”

Zhong Yue again raised his arms to defend as she slammed her palm down —Krong!— another loud boom, and a human-shaped hole was created on the temple wall. She slammed Zhong Yue through the wall into the celestial temple!

“What an incredibly powerful mortal body!”

Outside of the secret realm, Lei Teng and the other three Awakening Qi Practitioners’ faces changed drastically; Xiao Jin’er mortal body was too strong, especially after she was augmented with the almighty power of the Wan Xiang Realm. Her mortal body had now ventured into a whole new level!

Zhong Yue was definitely a Qi Practitioner that was proficient in the arts of the mortal body, and yet, he was as powerless as a sheep in front of her!

“Yin Yang Wheel!”

Xiao Jin yelled out, her voices rumbled like thunder. The Yin Yang Wheel behind her Yuan Shen revolved rapidly —Wong!— marks appeared on the palm and the back of her hands.

“Do you even know what Yin Yang is?”

Xiao Jin sneered coldly, she strode through the human-shaped hole into the celestial temple. The marks on her hands were oddly patterned, the ones in her palms were patterned like scorching suns, while the ones on the back were bright moons, “On one side of my hands, I control life; while on the other, I command death. Both life and death are within my grasp. This is the abstrusity of the Yin Yang Wheel – the【Yin Yang Mark】!”

Krong! — Krong krong krong! ——

A loud boom came from inside of the celestial temple, then followed by a series of loud noises. One after another, the walls crumbled as Zhong Yue was blasted away, finally coming to a stop after a crashing through a few walls.

Outside of the secret realm, the sounds of hissing could be heard as they inhaled a deep breath of cold air. Zuo Xiangsheng, Tian Yanzhong and the others turned solemn, even Qiu Jin’er’s beautiful face also changed color.

His old and wrinkled face was cloudy and uncertain as Feng Shouzhu thought to himself, Reverse opening the Dao Yi Realm and also the next four realms, and he is still no match for the celestial Awakening expert?

“Would you like to behold the power of the Dao Yi Realm?”

Xiao Jin guffawed, she leaped into the air while all five wheels on her Yuan Shen’s back spun rapidly, giving out sounds like clanking metal – crisp and clear. Xiao Jin was in mid-air when she raised her hands and slammed down a palm mark right at Zhong Yue!

In the center of her palm, there were five light wheels emerging out that assembled themselves into concentric circles — with the power of Dao Yi Realm, she had amalgamated the powers of all five realms into one!

Before the palm mark even reached to the ground, the celestial temples beneath it were already starting to melt down. After all, they were not the real celestial temples, but merely simulations formed by the Wan Xiang Realm of the godly spirit, they were never meant to be as strong as the real Shan Shen celestial temples.

But even so, Xiao Jin’er’s palm mark was immensely strong, far beyond the level of her peers. Even the Awakening Qi Practitioners that had opened all five realms like Lei Teng had their faces undergo a drastic change as they grew unsettled at the vast disparity.

Krong——

As her palm landed down, the celestial temples were devastated, the ground sunk down and a pithole of over hundred feet in radius, tens of feet in depth was formed.

However, this was only the first strike, the second strike came and another loud sound reverberated the whole secret realm. The pithole was made another ten feet deeper, and became a 180 feet in radius!

Krong krong ——

Five loud booms followed one after another, the pithole was struck larger and deeper, and eventually, a mini abyss of 2600 feet in radius and 400 feet in depth was formed — one could tell how terrifyingly strong her palm mark, that was backed by the synergized power of the five realms, was!

There were no crushed rocks that splattered into the air nor was there any dust carried away by the winds. They were all packed and pressurized closely into the ground from the impact force, not even able to leave an inch off from the soils.

“Little bugs like you humans dare to even think of contending with the noble and high celestials. What an excessive amount confidence you have there, overestimating yourself.”

Xiao Jin sneered coldly, she stood up slowly and walked towards the bottom of the pithole, she said indifferently, “This battle, is clearly over. And now, it’s time to feast. Your mortal body isn’t too bad, you are still able to survive even after taking down all this punishment I’ve bestowed upon you. I can tell, that you’ll be very, very succulent when I devour you.”

She reached out her hands and clenched onto Zhong Yue’s neck, it was right at this moment, a strong and staunch hand grasped onto her wrist. Xiao Jin was shocked, and in a split second, she felt a surge of strength in his hand as she was hurled into the air!

Peng——

She crashed into a pillar in a palace, and the impact force crushed the gigantic pillar that could only be enclosed by a few people clasping hands together.

Then, a figure bolted into the palace like a flash of lightning, slamming his hand onto her chest and caving it inwards as he pushed her away. He went crashing through the building using her body as a shield. Peng peng peng—— one after another, she slammed and crashed through countless pillars, crushing the foundation of the palace, causing it to wobble and quake violently before crumbling down into rubble.

Zhong Yue’s right hand pressed onto Xiao Jin’s chest, he strode forward and broke through the speed of sound, crashing into palace after palace. Meanwhile, his other arm reached out and battered violently onto Xiao Jin’s heads!

“Senior Martial Sister Xiao Jin, I’ve just advanced into the level of Awakening, it’s true that I don’t really know how to utilize the powers of the realms. And right here, I’d like to thank you for showing me the way. Wu Xing Wheel, open! Wan Xiang Wheel, open! Shen Cai Wheel, open! Yin Yang Wheel, open! Dao Yi Wheel, open!”

The fingers on his left hand quivered, the Wu Xing Wheel emerged in front of his palm, following by the Wan Xiang Wheel, Shen Cai Wheel, Yin Yang Wheel and lastly, the Dao Yi Wheel. He mimicked Xiao Jins previous actions and amalgamated the powers of all five realms together. He slammed his palm onto Xiao Jin’s head and crushed her head into her chest, causing her chest to bulged out abnormally.

Krong——

Xiao Jin was launched flying, crushing through two palaces; dust and crushed rock filled the air while she was buried beneath a crushed wall.

The development of the battle was incredibly rapid and intense, dazzling and stunning each and every pairs of eyes. In the last second, Zhong Yue was badly beaten up by Xiao Jin and the next, Xiao Jin became the one getting beaten up!

Who could have ever foreseen such a drastic change in the battle situation?

“Something’s not right.”

The high priest of Shan Shen celestial race turned and told the priest beside him, “Logically, the Zhong Shan Clan member has just opened the Yuan Shen five realms, his prowess can’t be this strong, surely weaker than Xiao Jin. And yet, Xiao Jin was just now suppressed by him, what happened here suggests that his five realms aren’t any weaker than Xiao Jin. Something’s very wrong here.”

All of the other priests around him nodded, in comparison to Xiao Jin, Zhong Yue’s five Yuan Shen realms were incredibly small, nearly negligible. And yet, the powers in his realms were about the same as Xiao Jin.

They were sharp-witted experts, the other Qi Practitioners could only tell that Zhong Yue was turning the tide, winning the battle; but they could perceive more than that.

“I see, it’s the reverse opening of the five wheels!”

The high priest of Gui Shen Celestial Race suddenly said, “Tens of thousands of years ago, a human had opened the five wheels in reverse and eventually became a god. He brought a batch of human slaves and rebelled from the East Barren, killing the demon god, Tian Myriad Mother, who had inhabited the Great Wilderness. It was after that, when he created the Swords Gate. This man ... was the first headmaster of Swords Gate, a human that was once enslaved by the East Barren! This Zhong Shan Clan member, he is the same as the first headmaster, one who has opened the five realms in reverse to acquire otherworldly power and potential. That’s why he was able to suppress Xiao JIn!”

The other high priests stiffened their hearts, the Gui Shen Celestial Race was old and ancient, their temples stored numerous records regarding the matters and events that had happened in the land, ocean and even overseas. Ages ago, the incident of the Swords Gate headmaster rebelling out of East Barren was an earth-shaking event.

One of the priest mumbled to himself, “Reverse opening the five realms, is there really a Qi Practitioners that was able to do it? Is he really a human?

This brat of the human race, he must not live… all of the high priests thought to themselves in unison.
