Chapter 725: One-Armed Hades Three Kowtows

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the Mountain Sea Realm, there lay a Divine Palace, a small realm of its own.

Within each Divine Palace resided essence, spirit, and soul. If ones cultivation reached a certain level, possessing more Divine Palaces would undoubtedly enhance ones strength.

In the struggle between strong individuals, it all boiled down to that fine line. Sometimes, being just a bit superior could make a world of difference.

Hence, ones realm was always the most fundamental and crucial. A strong foundation naturally led to strength in all other aspects.

Within Xing Xinyangs body were three Divine Palaces, equipped with topnotch spiritual treasures and cultivated with elite techniques. Faced with Chen Fei, who was also in the early stages of the mountain and sea realm but only possessed one Divine Palace, Xing Xinyang indeed had every reason to be confident.

As the energy of heaven and earth surged, Xing Xinyang swiftly closed in on Chen Fei, countless blades of light flying out from his body.

Rather than directly attacking Chen Fei, the blades formed a circular formation, enveloping Chen Fei entirely.

Chen Fei had just silently left the gate of the Saint Yan Sects mountain, but Xing Xinyang was not worried about being unable to defeat him; he was prepared for Chen Feis potential attempt to escape if he was overwhelmed.

Tracking Chen Fei for hundreds of miles to this location, Xing Xinyangs objective was simple: either capture Chen Fei alive or, failing that, execute him on the spot!

Chen Fei glanced at the surrounding blade formation, his expression unchanged. Without waiting for Xing Xinyang to approach, Chen Fei took a step forward, actively charging towards him.

Seeing Chen Fei advancing instead of retreating, Xing Xinyangs eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of mockery flas.h.i.+ng in his gaze. The sound of surging elemental power emanated faintly from within Xing Xinyangs body, shaking the energy of heaven and earth.

Though harboring a sense of disdain, Xing Xinyang didnt hesitate to act.

Strategically, even verbally, one could disdain the enemy, but when it came to actual combat, one must go all out. After cultivating for hundreds of years, Xing Xinyang approached every battle in this manner.

Boom!

Swords clashed, producing explosive sounds.

Chen Feis hair flew backward as the immense force surged into his body, seemingly attempting to tear him apart. Yet, throughout the exchange, Chen Feis expression remained unchanged.

Failing to send Chen Fei flying with a single strike, a hint of surprise flashed in Xing Xinyangs eyes.

At such close range, Xing Xinyang could clearly sense something about Chen Feis condition.

It seemed that Chen Fei had only recently entered the Mountain Sea Realm, but his foundation was quite solid. However, he was far from condensing the second Divine Palace.

Yet, the power emanating from the opponents blade was not to be underestimated. Although weaker than his own, it surpa.s.sed that of a mountain and sea realm with only one Divine Palace by a significant margin.

Even more crucially, after receiving such a strike, Chen Feis body remained completely still, evidently far from reaching its limit.

The Suppressing Dragon Elephant? Your mastery is indeed remarkable. Let me see how much youve managed to learn after going to such lengths to steal it! Sensing the fluctuations in Chen Feis qi at this moment, Xing Xinyang raised an eyebrow slightly. This was indeed the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. The anomaly that occurred before, when he could activate the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele, wasnt due to the opponents exceptional talent, but rather because the Suppressing Dragon Elephant was already quite extraordinary.

However impressive it might be, the version of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant that the opponent had previously learned must have many deficiencies, hence the need to take risks to observe the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele.

Currently, on the Middle Continent, except for the top sects, the versions of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant that others learned were intentionally released by them, with only average power, to discourage others from continuing to study it.

Now, Chen Fei had only watched the Dragon Elephant Stone Stele once. Relying on what he had learned before, he dared to display it in front of him, truly audacious!

Hum!

A huge figure emerged behind Xing Xinyang, like a mountain, with its head even obscured by the sea of clouds.

Xing Xinyang sheathed his sword, then swiftly unleashed another strike like lightning.

And as Xing Xinyang moved, the giant figure behind him executed the same move.

With the movement of the giant phantom, it truly felt like the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting. How could a person possibly contend with such power!

Just a single glance, and ones entire being felt as though it were about to be completely crushed.

Xing Xinyang himself had studied the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, albeit only for a few years, but he was extremely familiar with its characteristics.

Immense strength, rapid recovery, a.s.similation of foreign power for ones own use.

However, all of these had their limits. At this moment, when Xing Xinyang saw Chen Fei activating the Suppressing Dragon Elephant and a.s.similating his own power, he decided to let Chen Fei a.s.similate to his hearts content.

Chen Feis eyelids lifted slightly, and hundreds of sword elements flickered around him in the blink of an eye. These sword elements merged with each other, and in the next moment, they were all melted into the Qianyuan Sword.

Boom!

Even more intense than the first explosion, the collision of elemental forces caused the energy of heaven and earth to form a huge spherical shape, enveloping the two of them.

The next moment, the spherical energy of heaven and earth shattered, and a fierce force swept out, silently stripping away a layer from the mountains below.

Chen Feis figure trembled slightly as the terrifying force traversed his body, every organ and limb trembling under its impact.

Within the Divine Palace, the Domain Suppression emitted a radiant glow.

This strike had broken through the current limit of Chen Feis body. However, to truly surpa.s.s his limits, it would require further breakthroughs in his Domain Suppression.

But achieving a two and a half percent reduction in damage seemed insignificant. Yet, for the mountain and sea realm, such a sudden increase in strength was no easy feat.

Either Xing Xinyang currently wielded a medium-grade spiritual treasure, which would indeed continue to increase his combat power.

However, even with the grandeur of the Saint Yan Sect, they did not have such surplus wealth to provide.

On the Middle Continent, among the top sects, only a few geniuses had the privilege of possessing spiritual treasures surpa.s.sing their own realm. Xing Xinyang was exceptionally talented, but he hadnt reached that level yet.

Aside from spiritual treasures, deep comprehension of martial arts could naturally increase ones combat power.

Xing Xinyangs martial arts were extraordinary, but precisely because they were extraordinary, advancing further became increasingly difficult.

Xing Xinyang was now just one step away from breaking through to the mid- stage of the mountain and sea realm. However, this step was lacking in the comprehension of martial arts.

Therefore, regardless of the approach, for Xing Xinyang at this moment, neither seemed practical.

Under the Phoenix Gold Blade, Xing Xinyang watched as Chen Fei calmly received this strike, and his expression finally changed.

During the first strike just now, one could still attribute it to Chen Feis profound background, and he hadnt even utilized his martial arts mastery, allowing Chen Fei to barely withstand it.

However, with the second strike, Xing Xinyang had already employed the Nine h.e.l.ls Refining Techniques blade technique. It was impossible for Chen Fei to withstand it, yet the current situation was baffling!

I still have many aspects of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant that I havent figured out. I was just about to seek advice. I hope you can accommodate me!

Chen Fei looked at Xing Xinyang, and with a flip of his Qianyuan Sword, he knocked aside the Phoenix Gold Blade and slashed towards Xing Xinyangs neck.

Terrifying force surged forth. Xing Xinyang exerted force to suppress the Phoenix Gold Blade, but to no avail. His entire body was pushed back along with the Phoenix Gold Blade, involuntarily taking a step backward.

With this movement alone, Xing Xinyangs face drastically changed.

While the Suppressing Dragon Elephant could a.s.similate foreign power for ones own use, its upper limit wasnt high. There were inherent limits to a martial artists physique, something that the Saint Yan Sect, after practicing for so many years, was well aware of.

Pract.i.tioners of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant had a significant misconception; they all sought to a.s.similate the power of others, hoping to enhance the strength of their next attack far beyond the norm.

During the early years of the emergence of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, such occurrences were frequent, almost a textbook example of growing stronger through battles.

However, as more pract.i.tioners, unable to suppress the foreign power within their bodies, began to explode and perish, such incidents diminished significantly.

Within the Saint Yan Sect, any pract.i.tioner of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant would be warned not to recklessly a.s.similate enemy attacks.

The safest choice was to dissipate the force, only absorbing a small portion for ones own use, which was the optimal choice.

In recent years, Xing Xinyang had been observing the Suppressing Dragon Elephant monument frequently, and he had an idea in mind when he saw Chen Feis stance just now. It seemed like Chen Fei wanted to a.s.similate all of his attacks, prompting Xing Xinyang to consider striking down Chen Fei in a single blow.

But what was happening now? Did the opponent truly a.s.similate all the force from his strike?

As Xing Xinyang looked at the Qianyuan Sword slas.h.i.+ng towards him, the blades edge appeared ordinary, and while the sword elements were sharp, they seemed rather ordinary. However, as the sword pa.s.sed through, ripples spread through s.p.a.ce, and his soul sensed a sensation akin to facing a towering mountain, relentlessly cras.h.i.+ng towards him.

Xing Xinyangs eyes slowly widened as the sense of mortal threat continuously stimulated his soul.

The power within the three Divine Palaces of Xing Xinyang was continuously squeezed, and his figure, in an impossible situation, retreated several steps. Suddenly, the Nine h.e.l.ls Refining Technique within his body reversed, and Xing Xinyangs eyes instantly turned pitch black, with no trace of white left.

Within a few miles, the energy of heaven and earth boiled, the clouds dispersed in the sky, revealing the full figure of the shadow behind Xing Xinyang.

The features were blurry, but one could only see the blood-red eyes, under which all were like ants, instilling fear and trembling in ones heart. Moreover, the giant shadow only had one arm.

At that moment, the eyes of the giant shadow pierced straight towards Chen Fei, then its waist slightly bent, as if bowing towards Chen Fei.

A deathly silence permeated the air as the giant bowed, spreading across the heavens and the earth. In front of the giant shadow, the energy of heaven and earth cleared, with every crease sweeping along the way, directly reaching Chen Fei.

The One-Armed Hades Three Kowtows!

The most forbidden technique in the Nine h.e.l.ls Refining Technique.

Whether this giant shadow was truly the King of the Underworld, no one could say for sure, but this bow possessed unparalleled power.

Bowings are supposed to signify submission, supposed to show weakness, but this bow from the giant shadow was a lethal move.

The giant wasnt bowing to you; it was bowing to your destiny. Is your destiny tough enough? Can it withstand this bow?

If your destiny is strong enough, and your soul resilient, then perhaps nothing will happen. But if your destiny isnt strong enough, this bow might just bow you to death.

The King of the Underworlds bows are not something an ordinary person could endure or withstand.

With Xing Xinyangs current state and strength, he could only execute the first bow, and even that was already beyond his capabilities.

The Concealment Bell flew out from Chen Feis sleeve and hovered above his head.

In Chen Feis eyes, the world had already turned into a black void. Vaguely, he could see a ma.s.sive shadow roaring towards him.

Eventually, even the shadow vanished, and the entire world appeared as nothingness.

There was no s.p.a.ce, no time; everything was disappearing, enveloping himself.

Roar!

Behind Chen Fei, the shadow of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant soared through the air, its six feet thundering down, completely shattering the darkness.

Within Chen Feis body, his elemental power, mind, and soul trembled violently, as if they would be torn apart in the next moment. However, in the end, they were entirely resisted by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

The One-Armed Hades Three Kowtows, capable of severing the body, the spirit, and even the soul, were powerless against Chen Fei at this moment.

Spurt!

Xing Xinyang knelt down on one knee, a mist of blood spraying from his mouth, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.

The One-Armed Hades Three Kowtows, if unable to hurt the opponent, would inevitably rebound upon oneself.
