The roar of the Evil Sect Leader Xie Kui exploded, like a muffled thunder shattering the ground. Even separated by several li, a group of Innate Martial Artists felt dizzy and their vision blurred.
Within the roar, Xie Kui’s enormous hand reached out, fast as lightning, heavy as a celestial body. The dense nature’s spiritual energy whirled and howled between his fingers, the air being compressed until it burst repeatedly, creating a suction force like a black hole spinning, attempting to grab Su Changkong and tear him into pieces!
Xie Kui mobilized the power of an entire Spirit Vein, as terrifying as a Demon God incarnate. Ordinary Five-Qi Grandmasters simply couldn’t confront him head-on.
Standing his ground, Su Changkong’s Essence Qi Spirit channeled the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and behind him emerged the phantom of a huge tiger three zhang long. Its white fur fluttered in the wind, exuding the majesty of the king who ruled over the forests and mountains!
Five Animal Frolics. White Tiger Roars and Kills!
"Roar!"
The phantom of the White Tiger yawned wide, unleashing the killing move White Tiger Roars and Kills, learned from The Picture of White Tiger Roars in the Mountains. A roar that shook heaven and earth reverberated through nearly a hundred li, the edges of the huge pit once again cracked, and the hurricane howled, sweeping through with waves of sound.
Visible sound waves spread forward in a shockwave, and wherever they passed, the space itself fractured with spiderweb-like pitch-black cracks, causing a great tremor!
"What is this...?"
The hand that Xie Kui had stretched out froze before it reached within a zhang of Su Changkong. His pupils contracted as a mass of ripples rushed towards him, striking his body.
"Rumble!"
Sound waves caused vibrations and disintegration, as if countless bombs detonated in the void. The endless blast of explosions rang in one’s ears. Xie Kui’s spiritual energy solidified into a crystal stone armor on his body, dark red like celestial bodies, indestructible. But under this single roar’s might, it developed fine, dense cracks due to the shaking.
And Xie Kui’s heavy body was blown away by the impact, crashing and bouncing up, tumbling over a dozen rolls and flying more than ten zhang away before finally coming to a halt.
"This..."
Duanmu Tao, who was prepared to intervene if the situation became dire, was stunned. He stared blankly at the phantom of the White Tiger over a zhang tall and at Su Changkong, who remained standing, seemingly at a loss for words.
The phantom of the White Tiger was a manifestation of Su Changkong’s Essence Qi Spirit and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Yet its roar had flung the Evil Sect Leader Xie Kui, who mobilized the energy of an entire Spirit Vein, a great distance away, causing the crystalline spirit armor on his body to nearly shatter. The power was unfathomably potent!
"Evil Sect Leader!" The fat man and other experts from the Evil Sect witnessed this scene and couldn’t help feeling a chill in their hearts. Under the phantom of the White Tiger’s roar, it felt like their souls would shatter.
Xie Kui climbed up from the ground, disbelieving: "If I hadn’t swallowed that Spirit Sealing Talisman and used the power of an entire Spirit Vein to protect my body, that last strike would have injured me... This must be at least a Semi Ultimate Skill! Cultivated to the point of Great Achievement!"
Xie Kui’s scalp tingled, and a chill rose in his heart; he knew all too well how terrifying a being of that level could be, with few rivals among the Innate.
"This is a Divine Skill... No, the embryo of a Divine Skill! This Dao Wufeng has cultivated a kind of unparalleled technique, or Semi Ultimate Skill, to the stage where it can nurture Divine Skills!"
Duanmu Tao, as the Lord of the Demon Suppressing Department, was also well-informed, having read through secret tomes that only members of the royal family could access, and knew many secrets.
Duanmu Tao understood that it was said Martial Saints possessed Divine Skills, and through cultivation, Martial Artists could gradually transcend and enter saintliness, developing Martial Arts Divine Skills and achieving the body of a Martial Saint!
But let alone achieving Divine Skills, even those Martial Artists who developed ’pseudo Divine Skills’ were exceedingly rare, all of them monstrous geniuses with unparalleled talent. Either they came from thousand-year or ten-thousand-year families, or they were born in top-tier martial sects, all possessing the qualifications to achieve Martial Saint status in the forthcoming turmoil!
"Perhaps... Tan You, who was sent to assassinate Dao Wufeng, has already died at his hands..." Waves of shock surged in Duanmu Tao’s heart, and he swiftly considered many possibilities.
This Dao Wufeng is a monstrous genius who has cultivated unparalleled techniques or Semi Ultimate Skills to the stage where they can birth Divine Skills!
