Chapter 804: Chapter 360: I Can Infinitely Insert Coins to Beat the Game (Part 2)

"What a tyrannical force, cough cough..."

He slightly raised his head, bleeding from the seven orifices, his breathing weak.

Forcing his eyes open a slit, enduring the pain.

Ye Qingzhou glanced at the rainbow in the sky, suddenly sensing something: "It’s coming..."

Bang~

History repeated itself; ten minutes later, Ye Qingzhou swiftly climbed up from the ground. Although he had taken another beating and was directly killed, with the ability of Blood Rebirth, his body was now rejuvenated, and he felt refreshed.

He quickly moved his body’s joints, twisted his neck, and stood at the edge of the pool. His gaze pierced through the mist, staring at the figure under the waterfall.

"Very good, it seems I’m getting closer to the realm of Martial God..."

Ye Qingzhou’s heart was as calm as a still lake. The opportunity before him was indeed rare—a deceased Celestial King Martial God revealing the secrets of ’Creation’ to him without reservation.

Of course, only he could seize such an opportunity; if it were the other five accompanying Martial Saints, even the most defensive Xuanwu, they would likely be killed with just one encounter.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qingzhou stepped to the edge of the pool, once again witnessing the terrifying might of the Feather Race’s Celestial King Martial God.

"Feathered Serpent God... Soaring Snake... It’s merely an exterior, while the core is actually the Dao of Creation and Light, opposing the Dao of Death and Darkness..."

Connecting the two techniques, Ye Qingzhou had already used the Celestial Eye to glimpse into the essence of the Divine Feather Celestial Serpent Sword, a Celestial Tier Martial Technique: "Divine Feather holds the light of righteousness, Celestial Snake embodies the Dao of Creation... Dao Generates One, One Becomes Two, Two Becomes Three, Three Becomes Myriad Things... Sword Qi transforms one into myriad, endless, infinite..."

Ye Qingzhou had comprehended the essence of this swordsmanship move, but there were still many details that were lacking, so he had already positioned himself optimally, quietly waiting to further observe the birdman practicing the swordsmanship.

He stood beside a large tree, two meters away was a boulder, and before him was a vast flat land, suitable for deploying hand and foot movements.

Swish~

The Black Feather Birdman floated lightly on the wind, pausing momentarily before beginning to practice the basic application techniques of the Divine Feather Celestial Serpent Sword.

The Feather Race, indeed deserving of the Qi Refining Civilization, have simply perfected the use of ’Qi’; in their hands, Sword Qi transforms endlessly, from simplicity to complexity, even giving rise to a Sword Realm.

Ye Qingzhou’s gaze was fixed, a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

His forehead’s pineal gland glowed faintly, his Divine Sense continuously spilling out, as did his originally somewhat uneven breathing rhythm, starting to resonate with the Sword Point of the Divine Kingdom before him.

His muscle movement stretched out, every unit of force was utilized perfectly in terms of exhaustion.

The scorching sun shone down, the clouds drifted timelessly, and the verdant mountain was tinted with a vague golden hue; thin strands of vitality spread like Soaring Snake from the mountaintop to the dense forest.

The Innate Metal Sword Qi of the Flying River Sword Waterfall steamed, as if it covered the world with a mist of light.

Dim yet bright, like a glowing sunset mist.

A semi-circular pool, beneath a green tree, beside a boulder.

Two figures slowly stretching appeared, like a beautiful silhouette framed within the forest.

Ye Qingzhou was wholly absorbed, already activating the Celestial Eye and Xiangshu Thinking. In this state, his brain worked rapidly, like a quantum computer, deciphering each of the birdman’s movements, analyzing the techniques used in Qi manipulation.

Soft and hard, positive and negative, Yin and Yang, water and fire—the transformations and flows of Sword Qi were infinitely mysterious, yet held within one’s heart, using specific vibration frequencies, traversing the Spiritual Realm and Divine Kingdom, reaching the Other Shore...

Such precious knowledge, if not seen with one’s own eyes, Ye Qingzhou might not have been able to break through the Feather Race Celestial Emperor’s method of concealing Celestial Secrets, and obtain it from the depths of the Spiritual Realm.

An hour passed, and Ye Qingzhou had mastered about thirty percent of the swordsmanship; its combinations were complex, growing increasingly difficult.

The Black Feather Birdman retracted its fists, its body remained motionless, and Ye Qingzhou immediately understood that it was time for evaluation.

Ye Qingzhou’s expression remained unchanged; he stretched his limbs and decided to use the basic moves of the Divine Feather Celestial Serpent Sword, with three parts proficiency, to spar against the birdman.

"Then let me experience it once more."

"The power of your sword form..."

He poised his stance, his Life Magnetic Field within him resonating once more, like a dragon ready to burst forth.

Ye Qingzhou’s movements appeared somewhat immature, but he had absorbed at least twenty to thirty percent of its Spirit, Qi, and Shen; wielding the Divine Weapon, the sharp sword in hand, like a Soaring Snake about to take flight.

His legs firmly spread apart, his center of gravity lowered. He didn’t take an offensive stance but purely defensive.

The lessons from the previous two clashes made Ye Qingzhou, though eager to experience the birdman’s Divine Feather Celestial Serpent Sword again, aware of the power gap between them, one could say it’s worlds apart.

He decided to turn motion into stillness, cautiously probing first.

As thoughts flowed, the Black Feather Birdman assumed its stance, just like the previous two times; it was one of the starting moves of the Martial Dao of the Divine Feather Celestial Serpent Sword.

See, its left foot stepped forward, the right foot diagonally behind, the waist slightly bent, like a drawn bowstring, the arms slowly crossed in front of its chest.

Beside the pool, within the mist.

A murderous atmosphere, like Qiufeng blowing through, leaves fluttering.

Swoosh~

Under Ye Qingzhou’s Celestial Eye lock, the birdman moved!

Its pitch-black wings carved shadows in the air, seemingly slow yet actually fast, as it suddenly stepped forward with a large stride, instantly flashing to Ye Qingzhou’s front, the distance between them was less than a meter!

"So fast!"

With the Xiangshu Thinking ’software’ driving, Ye Qingzhou’s brain was akin to a quantum intellect, completing battle calculations in an instant, then driving the body to execute.

Ye Qingzhou’s muscles quivered slightly, executing a quick step back.

His spine and waist exerted force, just about to slide sideways to dodge.

Shrr~

The left side of his waist was still slashed open. The Divine Feather Celestial Serpent Sword was versatile, even with Ye Qingzhou’s current Xiangshu Thinking, it was hard to fully decipher.

Feeling the faint pain at his waist side, Ye Qingzhou instinctively dodged to the right.

However, the birdman’s Sword Point still sliced through the air at an incredible angle, as if a swishing snake tail, striking his right waist hard.

Splurt~

The severe pain from the Sword Point piercing his organs made Ye Qingzhou’s body involuntarily spasm, feeling almost suffocated.

Moreover, Sword Qi transformed into Soaring Snake, burrowing into Ye Qingzhou’s body, the skin was raised as if a giant snake roiled within, advancing along the abdomen upwards, delving towards the heart.

A sense of bewilderment rose in Ye Qingzhou’s heart, as he found himself being twice predicted in movement and positioning.

The birdman’s fists and hand strikes seemed to know beforehand where Ye Qingzhou would be, waiting early.

Does this mean that every move I make is within the opponent’s expectations?

Such frightening calculation abilities and combat instinct, each move is simplified to the extreme, yet harbors infinite follow-ups, leaving no room for defense, hard to counter.

Since mastering "Qimen Dunjia" and cultivating Xiangshu Thinking, Ye Qingzhou was facing defeat on the battlefield of ’information’ for the first time.

Clang clang clang~

On the vacant lot, the two figures clashed three times consecutively.

The birdman’s skills in swordsmanship did indeed completely surpass Ye Qingzhou, but Ye Qingzhou wasn’t entirely without the ability to counter.

On the contrary, Ye Qingzhou’s progress was remarkably swift; only moments passed in the exchange, yet he improved rapidly every second.

Comparatively, despite the birdman remaining overwhelmingly strong, the once-great master was forever frozen at the moment of death and can no longer improve.

No matter fearing failure, as long as progress continues, a day will come when victory is achieved!

Clang clang clang~

The Divine Weapon and Sword Point separated with a touch, Ye Qingzhou lightly and skillfully stabilized himself with a spinning step: "The pinnacle of swordsmanship, if you were still alive, you would surely be a legend in the Sword Realm... What a pity..."

Several seconds later.

Clang~

Another intense clash, the semi-air seemed to explode with thick fog, sharp Sword Qi shooting in all directions, leaving chilling sword marks on the surrounding environment.

Ye Qingzhou’s completion rate of the Divine Feather Celestial Serpent Slash finally reached seventy percent, surpassing the dexterity of the birdman who died one hundred million years ago.

Clang clang~

Having fully familiarized himself with the opponent’s attack patterns at last, Ye Qingzhou successfully blocked the birdman’s move and then used Sword Return, returning the Sword Qi to the Black Feather Birdman’s body.
