The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1137 - 162: Heaven’s Upheaval

The Heavenly Wheel turns, controlling the Primordial Energy.

With just one rotation, the Primordial Energy surged unceasingly, like a whirlpool in the sea, stirring the Sea of Primordial Qi.

The entire world changed color due to the turning of the Heavenly Wheel, with endless whirlpools compressing the Human Emperor. In an instant, the twisting force was enough to grind a mountain into powder.

This commotion also made Mu Cangsheng and Yama feel fortunate for having left in time.

Although this single rotation was not as strong as their full force strike, if they were deprived of the use of Primordial Energy, relying solely on their own strength to make a move would result in something similar.

And this doesn't even take into account the suppression that the "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture" has on other True Qi.

In a certain sense, ordinary supreme warriors in front of the Supreme Taoist may just be similar to those in the Divinity Realm, unable to pose any threat to him.

"Whirl, whirl, whirl······"

The swirling sound continued. With the turning of the Heavenly Wheel, the vortices of Primordial Energy became more intense, and the destructive force increased steadily. Moreover, the surrounding Primordial Energy continued to gather, and the concentration of energy around had begun to liquefy, becoming a true sea of Primordial Energy.

Pressurize, then pressurize more.

Pure strength, without a trace of intent, just the rotational destructive force of the Sea of Primordial Qi was already so perilous.

The Supreme Taoist hadn't even made a move; he merely stood with his hands behind his back in front of the Heavenly Wheel, yet he had already turned this place into a perilous area in a short time.

However, in this increasingly fierce vortex, a piece of land remained steadfast, never wavering.

As stable as the earth, unmoving like mountains and rivers.

The Seven Emperors gathered the Dragon Vein Earth Qi, forming substantial land and mountains, standing against the Sea of Primordial Qi.

The earth and the ocean, the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao, opposed one another in this most perilous confrontation.

························

"It's raining."

In Yanhuang Ridge, the Jiang Family Patriarch Jiang Haogang, who had barely healed his injuries using a Divine Pill and sedative, was hovering in the air, reaching out to catch a raindrop.

This raindrop seemed like some kind of omen, and in an instant, a torrential downpour followed, its volume as great as if the Heavenly River were being reversed.

"Boom——"

Thunder roared, flashes of lightning traced a fierce trajectory, tearing across the sky.

"This is······" Jiang Haogang's pupils contracted, "a heavenly change!"

A supreme warrior's mere aura can trigger a change in the natural phenomenon, but Jiang Haogang had never seen a phenomenon change over such a broad range before.

From Yanhuang Ridge to the East Sea Coast, even at the speed of a Divinity Realm warrior, it would take some time. If one were to travel by horseback, it might take a full day and night to reach there.

However, this vast distance was still affected by the heavenly change, and even······

Jiang Haogang looked back.

Perhaps even a large part, or the entirety of East Province, was affected by this heavenly change. The stretch of dark clouds seemed endless from afar.

"Boom——"

Another unusually shocking thunderclap echoed, and Jiang Haogang looked again towards the East Sea Coast, only to see a peak suddenly rising, piercing the clouds, surrounded by rolling dark clouds releasing constant lightning.

Afterward, amidst the weights of dark clouds, a gigantic Heavenly Wheel slowly descended, revealing the tip of an iceberg, and began to rotate.

"The real battle begins now." Jiang Haogang murmured to himself.

The rain falling across the world grew heavier, as if imbued with some strange power, causing the rain to feel exceedingly heavy, striking against the Protective True Qi with sounds akin to clashing metal.

At this moment, all the warriors in East Province were braving the eerie rain, gazing toward the East Sea Coast, despite some places being too far, far enough that even the Divinity Realm couldn't see the end, they all could sense the two terrifying presences making everyone tremble.

························

East Sea Coast.

The Heavenly Wheel had already expanded to several hundred zhang in size, from below it looked as though the sun had fallen to the mortal realm.

At the same time, the peak formed by the gathering of the Seven Emperors had also swelled to its limit, continually colliding with the Heavenly Wheel.

Heaven surged with dark clouds, heavenly thunder struck with fury, the Heavenly Wheel rotated, indeed causing a tremendous change in the sky, thunders and torrential rains, all moved by it. A wheel stirring the winds and clouds, the heaven and earth dared not disobey.

Below, the peak stood upon the earth, reaching for the clouds, striving towards the sky, as if trying to pierce a hole in the Heavenly Vault.

Neither side fought with fists or feet, but converged Primordial Energy and Earth Qi for the most direct and forceful confrontation.

However, as time went by, the Heavenly Wheel started to gain the upper hand. Its might grew significantly, and as it rotated, countless heavenly thunders struck down, pouring onto the peak, making it tremble and sway.

"Earth Qi support is insufficient, several Dragon Vein nodes in East Province have been destroyed." Inside the peak, the Seven Emperors murmured.

Whoever destroyed them was obvious; it was surely that Supreme Taoist who had plotted for so long.

However, the main reason for the Seven Emperors' disadvantage wasn't the Dragon Vein nodes. After all, many knew about this weakness of the nodes, and the Seven Emperors wouldn't have failed to counteract it.

The Xinglie's Battle Body was their weapon to resolve this weakness. Tempered for ten thousand years within the Earth Veins, the battle body itself was equivalent to a humanoid dragon vein, and a particularly large one at that.

With Xinglie's Battle Body as a vessel, the Human Emperor could exert his strength to the fullest, minimizing the impact of the Dragon Vein nodes being destroyed.

The real tipping point of the battle, however, was the earlier sneak attack by the Supreme Taoist.

It was that single strike that became the most crucial point of this battle.

"Supreme Taoist, that scoundrel!!"

Even with the Human Emperor's cultivation and Qi Cultivation skill, he was now filled with thunderous anger.

This Supreme Taoist was indeed too cunning, using the Japanese as bait to lure the Human Emperor into a trap, then striking with thunderous force at the critical moment.

Of course, the greatest point was that before the Supreme Taoist made a move, no one would have thought he would appear, and the Human Emperor was entirely unprepared when he took the hit.

Having plotted for a long time, succeeding with one strike, and attacking the Human Emperor, the world's top warrior, the Supreme Taoist could be called the World's Number One assassin.

Even Qing Yu, a master of backstabbing, had never succeeded in ambushing the Human Emperor, yet the Supreme Taoist accomplished it.

"Not long after awakening the Three Generations of Human Emperors, the Human Dao Will now lacks the strength to forcibly awaken the Second Generation Human Emperor again."

"Retreating is also a dilemma; that scoundrel won't allow us to leave unhindered. His aim in setting up this situation is to kill us."

The Human Emperors continually communicated with their minds, but ultimately came to only one conclusion—fight.

With a prepared mind against unprepared ones, the Supreme Taoist had long planned and considered every possibility. What the Human Emperors could think of in haste, the Supreme Taoist surely could as well.

So now, the simplest approach was the best one, and that was to fight.

Of course, fighting didn't mean charging headlong but rather showing the resolve, even to the point of perishing together, to drag the opponent down too.

The Supreme Taoist's enemies were numerous as well; if Lord Qingyu discovered he was severely injured, he certainly wouldn't mind rubbing salt in the wound.

At the present strategy, this is the only workable plan; fighting on offers at least a slim chance of survival.

"Let's begin."

Having finished their communication, the Seven Emperors directed their will, prompting the Earth Dragon Veins to riot.
