My All-Heavens Chat Group-Chapter 426 - 37 Da Gu Stews into Soup_1
Inside the Martial Arts Platform.
It was divided into three separate spaces.
Dancing with the Wind stood holding Destiny Soul, calm and composed. Destiny Soul, having been amplified, had now become Dancing with the Wind’s personal magic treasure, its might comparable to an Innate Treasure. This was a long knife—domineering and majestic. Dancing with the Wind held the long knife, Soul, her sharp eyes fixed on Hu Ao, exuding a queenly air. Even Hu Ao, the prodigy of the Tiger Clan, felt immense pressure.
"Kill!"
Hu Ao also wielded a long knife. Members of the Tiger Clan favored an overpowering approach, so their choice of weapons often included strength-type Spiritual Treasures like knives, spears, lances, or halberds.
"Two Realms Knife." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
With a slash of his golden long knife, Hu Ao unleashed a razor-sharp blade light that seemed to divide yin and yang, sundering worlds. The Two Realms Knife: one stroke divides two worlds. In one world, the body perishes. In the other, the soul is extinguished.
What a domineering knife strike. This blade strike means little to me, but definitely, not many Divine Kings could withstand it. It could even slay a Divine King with a single slash, Eastern Phoenix Yunxi’s pupils constricted.
Excellent! This knife technique Divine Skill has reached twenty percent mastery! The Black Tiger Saint stroked his beard, his eyes full of smiles. In his opinion, once the Two Realms Knife was unleashed, Dancing with the Wind would undoubtedly be defeated.
CRACKLE.
The blade light fell. The left side of Dancing with the Wind’s divine body was annihilated, while the right side remained unharmed, yet her consciousness felt as if it had been severely slashed.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Simultaneously, the residual might of the blade light fell upon the mountains and forests behind. The Martial Arts Platform was a realm unto itself; it was not empty but contained mountains, water, flora, and fauna, no different from the real world. As the blade light descended, the forest was split in two.
To the left, everything—flowers, grass, trees, insects, birds, beasts, even earth and stones—was obliterated, reduced to dust, as if forcefully erased by some unknown power.
To the right, everything remained intact: the trees, the flowers, and even the weeds and fallen leaves on the ground were all unharmed. Only the wild animals and insects silently and breathlessly collapsed. They bore no wounds, yet their life force had dissipated, turning them into cold corpses. It was as if the ’spirit’ or ’consciousness’ of these creatures had been erased. Though their bodies were intact, they were mere soulless shells.
Left and right, they were like two entirely different worlds. The name Two Realms Knife was perfectly fitting. One stroke divides two worlds. In one world, the body dies. In the other, the soul is extinguished.
Looking at Dancing with the Wind’s corpse, Hu Ao said smugly and arrogantly, "To die under my Two Realms Knife is also your honor... ugh..."
"To die under my Phantom Spirit Knife Formation is also your honor," a cold voice sounded. Destiny Soul had already pierced Hu Ao’s chest, the terrifying power of the Path of the Blade annihilating his own Path and life force.
"You..." Hu Ao’s eyes widened as he felt his life force rapidly draining, his eyes filled with unwillingness. He had lost—and so frustratingly.
SWISH.
Dancing with the Wind pulled out Soul, not sparing Hu Ao a glance. She directly left the Martial Arts Platform and returned to stand behind Hongmeng like a personal guard.
"Impressive, the Phantom Spirit Knife Formation! That phantom spirit body was almost indistinguishable from a real one; even a Divine Emperor would find it hard to discern, let alone a Divine King!" Eastern Phoenix Yunxi said with admiration. She had thought Dancing with the Wind would be defeated, but to her surprise, Dancing with the Wind had turned the tables and slain Hu Ao.
"Dammit!" Looking at Hu Ao’s corpse, the Black Tiger Saint’s expression was quite grim. It wasn’t just because Hu Ao was killed, but because they had lost another round, a blow to his pride.
As long as Tiger Soul and Tiger Destruction win... the Black Tiger Saint lamented internally. But when he saw the situation on the Martial Arts Platform, he was dumbfounded once more.
On the battlefield where Gu Yuena and Tiger Soul fought, nine Paths emanated from Gu Yuena, shockingly including supreme Paths such as Light, Darkness, Space, Destruction, and Creation.
What kind of freak is this? The Black Tiger Saint was dumbfounded. With these nine Paths, Tiger Soul clearly stood no chance.
As expected, Tiger Soul was defeated in just a few moves. However, Divine Emperor Level Powerhouses are not easily killed, so Tiger Soul was merely injured, not dead.
Looking over at the Divine Emperor battlefield, the Black Tiger Saint’s expression turned thunderous. Although Tiger Destruction performed better than Tiger Soul and Hu Ao, he was currently being suppressed by Divine King Gouri. Divine King Gouri’s ten azure fox tails, each imbued with a potent Divine Skill, left Tiger Destruction completely overwhelmed.
Needless to say, Tiger Destruction was also about to lose. And indeed, half an hour later, Tiger Destruction was defeated.
The Black Tiger Saint was utterly defeated this time. Including Angel Yan’s match, it was as if they had fought four matches and won none. Thinking of this, the Black Tiger Saint was furious, but even more wary. Although he himself had not made a move, his Tiger Clan had dispatched their prodigies—Divine Kings, along with Divine Emperors from two distinct echelons—yet none were a match. The strength of the younger generation is also a symbol of a power’s formidability. A force capable of cultivating so many prodigies is absolutely extraordinary. Therefore, though very unwilling, the Black Tiger Saint didn’t dare to cause a scene.
"Young Master Hong indeed commands a legion of talented individuals. Today has truly been an eye-opener for me," the Black Tiger Saint said, forcing a smile. "However, the true prodigies of our Tiger Clan are training on the Two Realms battlefield. When Young Master Hong arrives there, perhaps we can have a proper exchange."
"I’ll take my leave for today, farewell!" Having lost face, the Black Tiger Saint departed in haste, taking Hu Ao’s body and the injured Tiger Soul and Tiger Destruction with him.
"Hongmeng, you’re truly amazing! Even the Black Tiger Saint conceded defeat and retreated," Eastern Phoenix Yunxi said, hugging Hongmeng’s arm, her face filled with joy.
"It’s good that he knows his place; otherwise, I wouldn’t have minded keeping him here," Hongmeng said calmly. Although the Black Tiger Saint had been somewhat arrogant before Hongmeng’s arrival, he hadn’t attacked the Yaochi Disciples; this was one reason Hongmeng spared his life. Of course, killing the Black Tiger Saint would have been troublesome for Hongmeng. The Tiger Clan is one of the foremost clans on the Eternal Continent, their lineage tracing back to the very first White Tiger from the Genesis of Heaven and Earth. Never mind God Masters; they even have Ancestral God powerhouses. If he had killed the Black Tiger Saint, it would have certainly drawn out an Ancestral God from the Tiger Clan. While Hongmeng wasn’t afraid of Ancestral Gods, provoking powerhouses of that caliber would expose him to the myriad experts of the Eternal Continent.
The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be buffeted by the wind. I have no interest in drawing such attention. If I provoked a taboo existence beyond the Ancestral Gods, I could only flee. Lying low and cultivating steadily is the true path to power. Of course, had the Black Tiger Saint pressed his luck, I wouldn’t have been merciful. If a kill was necessary, it would have been done.
Eastern Phoenix Yunxi stared at Hongmeng, wide-eyed, her mind buzzing. You could have detained the Black Tiger Saint? The Black Tiger Saint is a God Master! Detaining a God Master is no easy feat.
"Is there any need for me to lie to you?" Hongmeng smiled faintly, gently pinching the lovely woman’s delicate cheek.
"The more I interact with you, the more unfathomable you seem," Eastern Phoenix Yunxi sighed.
"Me too," Hongmeng said with a smile.
Eastern Phoenix Yunxi was taken aback, then her pretty face suddenly flushed red as she said indignantly, "I’m being serious with you!"
How am I not being serious? Hongmeng feigned grievance, about to tease Eastern Phoenix Yunxi further, when a notification from the chat group suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding! Boiling Bones to Soup has joined the chat group."
