I Have A Qi Fortune Altar-Chapter 1414 - 689: Battle at the Pinnacle (Part 2)
There was no rumbling explosion, only a slight cracking sound. The thousand-foot divine being, like porcelain, was shattered and directly disappeared into the void.
Jingtai seemed to have been injured, his face looking somewhat unwell, as if his whole body was in inexplicable disorder.
But this was not the time to think too much.
It was just a divine representation of incense; he had absorbed decades of the power of incense, assimilated millions of drops of essence blood, and had deep reserves to destroy one.
He had more!
...
The confrontation between Chen Yuan and Jingtai reached a boiling point the moment they clashed, with no reservations whatsoever, each intent on killing the other to gain time.
The others had similar intentions.
Dongfang Sheng, the Hall Master of the Heavenly Demon Hall, who had shifted the battlefield, wielded a demon halberd that pressed down the void. With one strike, boundless demonic qi surged as a demon god's shadow followed, bringing immense oppressive power.
Gu Tianqiong, wielding the Heavenly Tears Divine Blade, unleashed a surging sword intent, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and shattering everything. Each strike seemed able to tear apart the dark clouds.
He fought ferociously against Dongfang Sheng.
He knew he could not lose.
This was the last foundation of the court after the Grand Ancestor; they had called upon the four Bodhisattvas of Spirit Mountain and the Kunlun Mountain's Daoist Feng Yuan, whose name was not left in the human world.
If this battle were lost, the court would have no further chance.
And he would face annihilation, both himself and his clan.
He used all his strength without hesitation; this was not a spar or a competition, but an extreme slaughter. Thus, even though Gu Tianqiong and Dongfang Sheng seemed evenly matched, the outcome could very likely be decided in the next instant.
There was no epic battle lasting three days and nights, no exhaustion on both sides; only one side winning and living, while the other side losing and dying.
In the Jianghu, many people have a misconception that a battle between the strong is always destructive, lasting several days or even months.
However, in reality, except for large-scale military confrontations, a genuine martial artist's duel often lasts about an hour, which is considered long; resolving it within a quarter of an hour is the norm.
Looking back at Chen Yuan's journey, encountering countless opponents, in reality, long-lasting battles were just a handful.
Compared to the even battle between Dongfang Sheng and Gu Tianqiong, the clash between Chu Changfeng and State Preceptor Pu Xian was more challenging. Although Chu Changfeng had strong talent and decent abilities,
he had only recently entered the Yang God Realm.
And State Preceptor Pu Xian, an experienced Yang God, was one of the four Bodhisattvas of Spirit Mountain, revered as the Great Jin State Preceptor. Even Jiang He, fighting desperately, only managed to break his golden body.
Thus, even though it hadn't been long since they began sparring, Chu Changfeng remained firmly suppressed by State Preceptor Pu Xian.
Because they were not holding back, because they unleashed their true power.
Therefore, the duel was, in fact, very swift.
"Roar!!!"
Finally, after the Shushan Sect Leader Ling Xu Daoist fully activated the Slaughter Immortal Sword, the Savior Bodhisattva, previously shrouded in Buddha Nature, revealed his beastly side.
The golden giant ape beat its chest, its qi and blood surging. Even after hundreds of years had passed, it remained a demon. The only difference was its demonic nature seemed to have truly transformed into Buddha Nature.
Covered in Buddha Light, wielding unmatched strength, it attacked the Ling Xu Daoist.
The sword's ringing moved heaven and earth, the Immortal Sword pacified the human world.
Ling Xu Daoist, with a grave expression, fully activated the Slaughter Immortal Sword. A sword light arose, not suppressing the Nine Provinces, but at least the sword's ringing could travel a hundred miles, as if the void was forcibly torn apart by this sword.
"Boom!!!"
The Savior Bodhisattva countered with his physical body, shattering this sword; but as a price, golden demon blood began to flow from his arm.
This was not his weakness; it was the powerful Ling Xu Monarch that unleashed the Immortal Weapon's power, which was simply too strong!
The Mixed Element Divine Map obscured the skies, the True Martial Immortal Sword destroyed everything.
Why is this deemed the pinnacle battle in the human world since the war of Chu's destruction?
It's not just because there are too many Supreme on the Heavenly List, but also because there are indeed a lot of Immortal Weapons.
Each Immortal Sect Leader wielding an Immortal Weapon had immense power, because Immortal Weapons were used by Immortals. The Yang God could not fully activate them, but even a fraction of their power was astonishing enough.
Daoist Feng Yuan, showing his strength in the human world for the first time, did not claim to be a Sect Leader, but wielding an Immortal Weapon seemed to prove something.
He fought with ease.
The True Martial Immortal Sword was strong, but the leader of the Wudang Seven Sons, Song Yingqiao, was not so powerful. While he had a name on the Supreme List, it wasn't very high, and there was usually nothing special about him.
But now, clashing head-on, he was quickly pushed into a disadvantage.
If it weren't for the True Martial Sword, Song Yingqiao wouldn't be able to hold on at all.
With a head of white hair, Feng Yuan always wore a faint smile; he wasn't flustered or boastful, as if the situation should be just like this.
To the world, it seemed the long-hidden Kunlun Mountain should have been in decline, but... was that really the case?
Not necessarily....
At least, in Song Yingqiao's view, Feng Yuan was very strong!
Even so, he seemed not to have used his full strength. It appeared he was only holding himself back and didn't have any urgency.
As if this battle regarding the fate of the Great Jin was not important to him.
Sima Che's strength was indeed significant, but on Luochen Mountain, Wu Daozi found an opportunity, planting the Chen Family's broken spear in him, even though the court had exhausted Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
But, the distance to recovery was still far.
