Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 493 - 292: Five Emperors Sky Extending Seal, Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist! Heaven Rank Great Array, Heaven Rank Treasure!_2
"Do you... qualify?"
As if inhaling and exhaling the cosmic essence of the sun and the moon, Jiang Shu’s words grew faster and faster. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around him was thoroughly affected. Within hundreds of miles, all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi seemed to heed Jiang Shu’s call, converging into a massive palm.
This palm was completely different from the Five-finger Mountain Moving Seal previously displayed by the Disciple.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth—the Primordial Powers of the Five Elements were compressed to their utmost limit.
This was a Great Divine Power that had evolved from the Five Elements Dao, taught to him by the Artifact Spirit in Wenxian Palace—the Five Emperors Sky Extending Seal!
The Great Dao, like Divine Skills, also has a hierarchy of superiority.
For instance, the Dao of Flame as cultivated by Sky Flame Peak, when it all comes down to it, is just one aspect of the great Five Elements Dao.
To comprehend the Dao of Flame, one might spend a lifetime confined within the Vientiane Realm, unable to reach any higher.
In the Sect, all Disciples thirst to become True Disciples, not only because a True Disciple holds the power of life and death.
But also because True Disciples can practice all the Great Dao Techniques of the True Martial Sect and comprehend the teachings within any peak.
They extract various essences to supplement themselves, thereby enhancing their own potential to reach the Vientiane Realm or even surpass it.
The goal of every True Disciple is not just to be a Peak Master.
Being a Peak Master is just a fallback goal.
Their aspirations are always loftier, with only one aim—to become the Supreme Sect Leader of the Sect, a Dao Venerable of the Chaos Hole Realm!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
With Jiang Shu’s move, everyone was incredibly shocked. Especially the Inner Sect Disciple who first used the Five-finger Mountain Moving Seal; he was even trembling slightly.
At this moment, he finally, completely understood the terror of Jiang Shu.
One could say his Five-finger Mountain Moving Seal was like the hand of an infant facing a meteor from the heavens compared to Jiang Shu’s Great Divine Power.
Had Jiang Shu countered with this move at that time, his physical body would have been directly crushed to ashes, and only his soul would have had a sliver of chance to escape.
It was terrifying, far too terrifying!
For Jiang Shu and Zhou Yan at such a level, ordinary weapon attacks and Primordial Pill self-destructions were completely useless.
Their strength lay above Divine Skills, above Primordial Power.
Upon seeing Jiang Shu’s Divine Skill, the Five Emperors Sky Extending Seal, Zhou Yan, who had been comprehending the Dao of Flame, immediately sensed the aura of the Dao of Flame within it.
How... how is this possible!
How could someone of a minor Dynasty origin, someone who could inherit Zhou Ming’s inheritance, possibly possess an aura of the Great Dao in his Divine Skills?
In the entire Cang Mang Domain, anyone within the Vientiane Realm is a true powerhouse, a colossus of their region.
Could Jiang Shu actually possess the inheritance of the Vientiane Realm?
Impossible!
Zhou Yan took a deep breath. Once again, Jiang Shu’s various taunts seemed to echo past his ears.
He made a fierce move. Flames densely covered his body, and a gigantic hand of flame rose into the sky.
Each finger was also a condensation of a type of flame.
In an instant, the two giant palms rapidly clapped together.
Within a hundred miles, a roaring sound propagated, shaking the distant mountains. In the sky, Inner Sect Disciples who had been idly chatting turned their attention to the center of the battle.
They saw one of Zhou Yan’s flaming fingers rapidly extinguished. Meanwhile, Jiang Shu’s Five Emperors Sky Extending Seal, with the operation of the Five Elements, showed no signs of dimming; its momentum was even stronger than at the start.
For Jiang Shu, who had comprehended the Five Elements Dao, Zhou Yan, who only comprehended the Dao of Flame, not only had no advantage but was constantly suppressed!
His Three Holy Embryos continuously inhaled and exhaled within his body. Combined with the Kunpeng Swallowing Technique that had broken its limits and was comparable to an Earth Rank Divine Power, it was like a perpetual motion machine with infinite Primordial Power. Such terrifying force, even some True Monarchs in the Nirvana Realm, would fall short.
One seal was not yet concluded.
Another Divine Skill was cast!
This was a mighty punch, its fist light illuminating the heavens and earth.
This Divine Skill was even more terrifying. It was the strongest skill taught to Jiang Shu by the Artifact Spirit from Wenxian Palace, a Divine Skill with a limitless upper potential!
Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist!
This punch depended on Jiang Shu’s comprehension of the Great Dao; the more he comprehended and integrated, the more powerful the punch became.
At its peak, it could even allow one in the Nirvana Realm to clash with someone in the Vientiane Realm!
Of course, this is an ideal state.
This would require a Vientiane Realm Lord who had only comprehended a single Great Dao.
And it would require Jiang Shu to have comprehended dozens of Great Dao, for there to be even a slim chance.
But even so, it was still extremely terrifying. Such a Divine Skill even surpassed the assessment of some Heavenly Rank Divine Powers.
Only an Artifact Spirit who was once at the Returning to Void Realm possessed the ability to create it.
Jiang Shu’s punch was overwhelming. As it was released, even the Nirvana Realm elders looked on, shocked.
Two Great Divine Powers were displayed in succession.
What this represented was not just the control of Divine Skills, but also the accumulation of Primordial Power!
Compared to Jiang Shu, Zhou Yan’s second Divine Skill appeared somewhat hasty and lacking.
No one expected that in such a short time, Zhou Yan, whom everyone had high hopes for, would be directly on the losing end, pinned down and hammered by Jiang Shu.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
It was as if heaven and earth were about to collapse. Jiang Shu’s punches came one after another. The Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist had no set pattern; all sorts of comprehension from the Great Dao could be integrated into it.
Zhou Yan had once had tremendous opportunities and possessed great fortune.
But how could he have possibly come into contact with an epochal opportunity like the Wenxian Palace? In the entire Cang Mang Domain, even Vientiane Realm Lords could potentially be trapped to death within the Wenxian Palace.
Only Jiang Shu himself, who had traversed two worlds, seemed so unique as to win the investment of the Wenxian Palace’s Artifact Spirit.
"No! Impossible!"
In the sky, Jiang Shu’s punch landed squarely on Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan’s hair was disheveled. He, who had previously sat high on the pillar of flames, was forced back several steps, his eyes no longer holding the confidence and nobility from before.
My Primordial Power is inferior.
My Divine Skills are inferior.
Has Jiang Shu really never cultivated in the True Martial Sect?
Is he really just from a minor Dynasty, with no guidance from a Vientiane Realm Lord?
No, I absolutely cannot lose like this!
This is the True Martial Sect!
Everyone will know of this battle!
If I lose this fight, my future will be undoubtedly doomed!
There is not the slightest room for reconciliation between me and Jiang Shu; this is a feud of life and death!
Both of us have to accumulate resources at the fastest speed, reach the Nirvana Realm, and compete for one of the Ten Great True Inheritor positions!
The outcome of this battle will bring far-reaching effects.
If Jiang Shu wins, he will definitely receive strong support from Thunder Prison Peak, and all future resources will be in abundance!
If I fail, it will be tantamount to losing face for Sky Flame Peak.
How could I then have the face to seek an audience with the Peak Master and receive guidance?
No, I can’t continue like this!
Zhou Yan’s gaze firmed, and he took a deep breath.
Here, this is the True Martial Sect.
Here, this is Sky Flame Peak.
Here, this is right above my Cave Mansion.
Jiang Shu might be strong, but he shouldn’t have dared to be so presumptuous, to battle me here of all places!
The Heavenly Rank Formation, activate!
Heavenly Rank Treasure... appear!
Suddenly, the world transformed.
In Zhou Yan’s palm appeared an Array Plate for a Heavenly Rank Formation. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi that Jiang Shu had been controlling seemed to switch masters in an instant.
Now directly controlled by Zhou Yan, his flame Divine Skills, as though brought back from the dead, actually clashed hard with Jiang Shu’s Five Emperors Sky Extending Seal and Qi Swallowing Vientiane Fist.
Above his head, a precious umbrella opened, like a magnificent canopy tilting towards the sky.
This Heavenly Rank Treasure was specially forged by his Master. The umbrella ribs were made from the inner cores of flame-attribute Demon Beasts at the peak of the Inner Core Realm.
The jewel at the tip of the umbrella came from a bone fragment of a Transformed Demon.
What was even more terrifying was that at the core of the umbrella lay a feather from a Demon Monarch of the True Phoenix Clan.
All flames were under the control of this feather.
Once the Treasure Patterns erupted, they could summon a phantom of this Demon Monarch.
Even though this phantom was also conceived by his Master, its ferocious strike was already on par with that of a Nirvana Realm expert.
I don’t believe Jiang Shu can withstand this!
It’s just a pity... this is within the Sect.
If we were in the outside world, I would definitely activate the Treasure Pattern and annihilate Jiang Shu!
His eyes shifted from Jiang Shu to the Nirvana Realm elders of Thunder Prison Peak behind him. He knew that if I really made such a move, some of those elders might intervene.
Therefore, I have to endure for now. With the support of the Heavenly Rank Formation and the Heavenly Rank Treasure, even without deploying the Treasure Patterns, I am confident I can defeat Jiang Shu!
A Cultivator’s duel isn’t just about Primordial Power and Divine Skills.
There are also Formations! And Treasures!
A gleam of murderous intent flashed in Zhou Yan’s eyes as he bellowed,
"Jiang Shu, no matter how strong you are, can you really overpower my Heavenly Rank Formation and my Heavenly Rank Treasure?!"
