The Post Sky Tipping Era-Chapter 1208 - 970: Melee Combat and Thunder Skill
On the Heavenly God Platform, Li Yi’s seven hundred and twenty zhang Divine Body already made many strong figures within the Heavenly God Clan turn solemn, and this hybrid Dragon God Heavenly King was also extraordinary.
The five hundred zhang Divine Body manifested, and the terrifying aura swept across, making him resemble a True Dragon in human form, with Divine Power pervading his breath. Were it not for being on the Heavenly God Platform, merely the outflow of strength would shatter stars.
A Taiyi far surpassing the Royal Family Direct Lineage, a hybrid dual-cultivating, incomparably powerful anomaly.
Even before the battle began, everyone was already full of anticipation, eager to see what kind of sparks would fly when these two top Heavenly Kings within the clan would clash.
After ascending to the Heavenly God Platform, the Dragon God Heavenly King, like Li Yi, also withheld the Heavenly King Soldier, but the Dragon Scales on his body seemed to have gone through a thousand temperings. In terms of defense, they are nearly on par with a piece of Heavenly King Armor.
In the same realm where neither side uses weapons, his advantage would be more pronounced.
Li Yi gauged his opponent only briefly to judge that this Dragon God Heavenly King was a top-tier powerhouse with unparalleled defense and invincible offense, virtually without weaknesses.
To defeat him, one must crush him with pure force.
At this moment, the Dragon God Heavenly King was scrutinizing Li Yi without a trace of disdain—after all, a Royal Family Direct Lineage who wields a Heavenly Emperor’s Weapon and nurtures an invincible aura is a formidable figure whose strength is felt even without striking.
However, neither side took action immediately, waiting for the Divine Emperor to order, lest it be seen as suspiciously premature aggression.
The competitions on the Heavenly God Platform emphasize fairness; every strong figure of the Heavenly God Clan hopes to defeat the opponent honorably, so the opponent concedes willingly.
"The first match may begin." At this moment, Divine Emperor Zhenyue spoke, his voice echoing throughout every corner of the Secret Realm, using his name as Divine Emperor as a guarantee for this match.
As his words fell.
The Dragon God Heavenly King on the Heavenly God Platform vanished instantly from his spot, though appearing as a five hundred zhang Divine Body, like a True Dragon he transformed into a Divine Light traversing the starry sky.
"It’s the Dragon Movement Technique," recognized by a watching Heavenly King at a glance.
Dragon Movement Technique isn’t particularly profound, even the Dragon Girl Yushang beside Li Yi can execute it.
But the ability to perform it doesn’t mean one can evolve it to its pinnacle.
Clearly, this Dragon God Heavenly King’s Dragon Movement Technique was more exquisite; performed, it made his massive Divine Body vanish into thin air, and as the Divine Light circulated, no one could track his traces.
Li Yi remained silent, standing still, waiting for the opponent’s assault.
Suddenly.
A vast dragon-shaped silhouette appeared overhead, and a black sharp claw akin to a True Dragon’s emerged, terrifying Heavenly King’s Power concentrated upon it, capable of tearing the starry sky.
Yet in the next moment, Li Yi merely raised his hand for a punch.
"True Dragon Strength?" In an instant, the Dragon God Heavenly King felt the empowered force of Li Yi’s punch and was momentarily stunned. "But I know it too."
He too had mastered True Dragon Strength, condensing Heavenly God Power, True Dragon Power, Mana, among others, into a seemingly simple but deeply profound strike.
Ordinary Heavenly Kings, without relying on a Heavenly King Soldier, couldn’t take even one hit from him and would directly collapse.
Boom!
The two forces clashed; the starry sky swayed as if the universe exploded; were it not for the Divine Emperor’s Power fortifying nearby, the leftover power would sweep away Heavenly Generals and the World Boat alike.
"Indeed, an extraordinary combat prowess."
The colossal form of the Dragon God Heavenly King was shaken away, in disbelief, for the same mastery of True Dragon Strength, Li Yi’s power was surprisingly a few degrees stronger than his own.
It was simply incomprehensible.
This Li Yi had just recently broken into the Heavenly King’s Realm.
"If this is all your strength, then you are not my opponent." Li Yi’s seven hundred and twenty zhang Divine Body stood motionless, star light emanating from around him.
That was the power of his Skillful Gate flowing.
The most striking feature of these star lights was Li Yi’s arms, with seven star-like Skillful Gates twinkling, resembling the Big Dipper in the sky.
Yet as Divine Power converged, a star representing death shone exceptionally bright.
"Reverse Life and Death Skill?" Upon seeing this, the gathered Heavenly Gods recognized it.
Reversing Life and Death Realm arranges seven Skillful Gates; if the star representing life illuminates, your Divine Power shall brim with vitality, extending one’s Life Span.
However, should the star representing death shine, your Divine Power turns highly destructive, filled with annihilation and slaughter.
For the Heavenly God Clan, Reversing Life and Death Realm isn’t considered a particularly advanced Divine Skill, for it calls upon few gates—the terrifying abilities utilize all one hundred and eight Skillful Gates.
"Are you underestimating me? Arrogant!" The Dragon God Heavenly King raged, seemingly burning all over; his form too illuminated with star lights, albeit black.
Endless Divine Power surged from the Skillful Gates, the blend of Dragon Blood and Divine Blood exhibited power far surpassing his normal combat strength.
"It’s Dragon Blood Fury, akin to our Heavenly God Clan’s Divine Blood burning technique, utilized by the True Dragon Clan when risking one’s life, yet the Dragon God Heavenly King resorts to this after just one exchange?"
"A single round can reveal a lot. Do you really think such combat would last three days and nights? The outcome will be decided within ten rounds."
"The first full-force strike couldn’t shake the Taiyi Heavenly King. If he doesn’t go all out, he’s likely to be defeated by the second round. The Dragon God Heavenly King is right to do this."
Among those present were many powerful Heavenly Kings who understood deeply that in a life-and-death duel between two top-tier Heavenly Kings, the victor would quickly be decided. If you think you can last until your opponent makes a mistake, that’s nothing but wishful thinking.
Therefore, when the Dragon God Heavenly King felt his strength was insufficient after one clash, the only method was to squeeze out all his power and make a desperate fight.
Otherwise, once the Taiyi Heavenly King counterattacks, he wouldn’t even have the chance to burst out.
But at that moment, Li Yi’s body suddenly moved.
The 720-foot Divine Body now exuded an unparalleled sense of oppression, approaching as if a Great Realm was crushing down. The fist’s edge came sweeping in, with death energy filling the sky, intending to rob him of life, and kill him on the spot.
The Dragon God Heavenly King roared, the True Dragon’s wrath surged, his combat power skyrocketed. Covered entirely in indestructible Black Dragon Scales, he met the attack head-on.
In just an instant.
The two sides clashed again, but this time it was not just a single strike. In this brief close-quarter moment, both sides unleashed their killing moves. The clash of the fist’s glow resonated with the Heavenly King’s power, causing the starry sky to collapse.
"The Dragon God Heavenly King is going to lose."
Not far from the Heavenly God Platform, the experienced Tomb Heavenly King had already discerned the outcome, sneering, "Mixed blood is ultimately just mixed blood, how can it compare to a Direct Lineage Heavenly King? Taiyi merely used the Reverse Life and Death Force to gain an edge. If he used Great Divine Power, just one strike might defeat him."
"This Taiyi is absurdly strong. As long as it’s just the Heavenly King Realm, almost no one can beat him, unless a powerful individual walking the Heavenly Emperor Road might possibly surpass him."
The others’ expressions were heavy and silent.
They could see that this Taiyi’s foundation was incredibly strong, not needing any special means. In a normal confrontation, it’s very difficult for most Heavenly Kings to contend with him.
At this moment, on the Heavenly God Platform, the Dragon God Heavenly King who had already used the True Dragon’s wrath had his 500-foot Divine Body continuously retreating. His body was covered with brutal Fist Marks that shattered his indestructible Scale Armor, blasting astonishing death energy into his body.
This concentrated death energy directly wore down his Life Force, eroded his Primordial Spirit, making even his face devoid of vitality and luster.
The whole person gave off a feeling as if his Life Span was about to end.
But the Dragon God Heavenly King’s attacks on Li Yi, though leaving wounds and spilling blood, were merely flesh wounds, because he could feel that inside the opponent’s body, strands of Five-Colored Divine Light intertwined, forming an invisible armor that blocked all his Divine Skills.
"Can’t win, completely can’t win..." A sense of powerlessness welled up in the Dragon God Heavenly King’s heart.
And as his spirit broke, he didn’t even have the qualifications to continue fighting.
Boom! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
With a sound like heaven and earth splitting apart.
A massive Divine Body, 500 feet tall, was blasted away, like a meteor directly knocked out of the Heavenly God Platform, only to be caught by a streak of Emperor Light at last.
"The first match, Taiyi Heavenly King wins." The Nine Heavens Divine Mighty slowly declared, directly defining the contest.
Meanwhile, the Dragon God Heavenly King who had been blasted away was already in a coma, enveloped by death energy, his Divine Body withered and shrunken, as if he had exhausted all his flesh and blood.
This was the cost of using the True Dragon’s wrath, and just this one battle made it difficult for him to recover to his peak in the future.
The Nine Heavens Divine Emperor then flicked his finger, dispersing the death energy on the Dragon God Heavenly King and infused a stream of Life Force to help him recover.
After all, as a member of the Heavenly God Clan, it was impossible to let him die of severe injuries without offering aid.
"Next contestant, hurry up. I’m in a rush." Li Yi’s chest was stained with blood, yet his aura remained invincible, with no sign of weakening. And within just a few breaths, his wounds healed.
Evidently, he hadn’t sustained any serious internal injuries.
"That useless Dragon God Heavenly King couldn’t even force Taiyi to reveal his trump card." The youngest son of the Divine Emperor Zhenyue, Divine Emperor’s Son, snorted coldly, then glanced at another person.
Divine Punishment Heavenly King.
According to the draw, he was the second challenger.
The Divine Punishment Heavenly King’s expression was solemn. Without a word, he transformed into a Divine Lightning and struck the Heavenly God Platform, then revealed his true form.
He was a Royal Family Heavenly King, but his true form stood 480 feet tall. Though not as tall as the Direct Lineage, he was still quite a formidable presence among the Royal Family.
"Thunder Skill, is it?" Li Yi, seeing the Lightning entwining his opponent, had an inkling in his heart.
"Taiyi Heavenly King, are you interested in joining the Thunder Department? With your strength and potential, you will definitely become a Thunder Emperor in the future." The Divine Punishment Heavenly King calmly said, even extending an invitation to Taiyi.
Li Yi’s eyes flickered: "Are you a Heavenly King of the Thunder Department? Does the Heavenly God Clan allow you to do this?"
"Of course, the Heavenly God Clan doesn’t forbid you from joining any faction. Your bloodline inherently contains the Power of Thunder and Lightning, and if you study Thunder Skills, you’ll definitely progress swiftly. Moreover, in the case of dual cultivation of skills, your strength will become even stronger," the Divine Punishment Heavenly King said.
"Let’s discuss this matter later. Don’t forget, now you’re the challenger," Li Yi said.
He didn’t refuse, because he felt that if someday he couldn’t stay in the Heavenly God Clan, he would have a retreat route.
