Chapter 198 – Jade Water Reaches the Sky, Extinguishing the Fire

TL: Sponsored chapter (4/7)

The moment Xu Disheng was wrapped up by the raging red flames, he activated the Paramount Ancient Bell in his sea of qi. It transformed his Shangqing profound qi into water elemental energy, counteracting the searing Red Lotus Heartflame.

“Jade Water Reaches the Sky,” Zhang Yangui uttered coldly, sending out a hand seal to the Jade Water True Sword, which was still hovering in the middle of the air.

As soon as the seal landed on the Jade Water True Sword, it began to glow with a flourishing brightness. All of the jade water sword lights in the arena began to amass in a single spot, then slashed out with brilliant radiance!

After being bound by the jade water sword lights for a while, the Fierce Specter ghost’s aura had become very weak. The jade water sword lights had preyed on its strength, growing in power. The sword radiance that had condensed from all the sword lights slashed towards it, cutting off an arm!

“ROOOOAAAAARR!!”

The Fierce Specter stage ghost let out a shrill shriek of agony. The sword lights surrounding it had disappeared, so it took advantage of the opportunity to transform into a mass of concentrated ghost qi and return to the Fierce Specter War Chariot.

So far, only three of the seals had been released. Its true strength at the moment was only the peak Evil Spirit stage. In the face of Zhang Yangui’s True Jade Water Scripture, it could only suffer defeat.

Xu Disheng’s face was pale, his jet black hair fluttering loosely in the wind. Having blocked the Red Lotus Heartflame, he turned to look at the Fierce Specter War Chariot, which was now giving off a weak aura. He gritted his teeth, then channeled Soul Force to use Blood Light Illumination!

“Extinguishing Soul, second form. Blood Light Illumination!”

The eyes of the soul-suppressing Evil Spirit skull opened wide, unleashing a beam of Soul-Extinguishing Blood Light that was concentrated to the brink of taking physical substance.

Zhang Yangui’s expression turned a bit more serious as he watched the beam of blood-colored light approaching him. “So this is your strongest move, is it? It’s not bad, actually.”

With that, he took out a small seal with exquisitely intricate carvings on it. It rose up with the wind and protected the area in front of him!

The Soul-Extinguishing Blood Light, which had been so effective in the past, fizzled out the moment it shined on the small seal. The air was momentarily permeated with countless motes of blood-colored light that slowly drifted towards the floor of the arena.

“The Universe Overturning Seal!” Many of the spectators let out exclamations of surprise.

“This seal is extremely famous. Although it’s just a Psychic Magic Treasure, it was the treasure that Primordial Lord Qingfu used often when he was at the Divine Core stage!” a Divine Core stage Spirit Master said with a hint of excited yearning in his eyes as he examined the Universe Overturning Seal, which was emitting a dazzling golden radiance. “I never would’ve thought that Primordial Lord Qingfu actually gave this precious seal to Zhang Yangui!”

Even to a Divine Core stage Spirit Master, the Universe Overturning Seal was an extremely precious treasure.

Xu Disheng didn’t know the origins of this seal, but after easily blocking the advanced spell of the Extinguishing Soul Mantra, the treasure seal grew and expanded until it was the size of a small mountain. At that moment, it began to stamp towards him!

This seal… He wouldn’t be able to block it!

Before the seal itself even arrived, the powerful pressure it caused was like the weight of an entire mountain. The power of heaven and earth around him turned thick and immutable, rendering him unable to move.

With a deafening rumbling that only continued to grow louder as it approached, the seal, which had already grown to take up half of the entire arena, smashed upon Xu Disheng, slamming him into the depths of the arena!

The arena was refined from a special kind of mist in the Luminous Cloud Abyss, and was sturdy enough to withstand an all-out attack from any cultivation boundary below the Divine Core stage.

But when the seal came down, it left a huge indent in the floor of the arena!

While the might of this seal hadn’t reached the Divine Core stage, it was already comparable in combat strength to a peak Dao Foundation stage cultivator.

Zhang Yangui took out a few pills and swallowed them down.

After using a series of extremely tyrannical spells, even he was on the verge of exhausting his profound qi.

“Xu Disheng lost!”

“He shouldn’t be dead. After all, he has the protections of the White Heron Robe which will activate when its user is on the brink of death, so Xu Disheng’s life will be preserved at the very least.”

“Xu Disheng’s aura is extremely weak, but I can still clearly feel it even though he’s beneath the Universe Overturning Seal!”

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura of destruction gradually surged up from beneath the Universe Overturning Seal.

“Why is the aura beneath the seal becoming more and more powerful?!”

“What is happening?”

“How could this be possible? Xu Disheng was attacked by the Heart Ravaging Magic Sword and the Red Lotus Heartflame in rapid succession, so he should already be extremely weak! That seal then pressed down on him like a mountain, so even if he’s not dead, he should at least be seriously injured!”

“This aura… why is it filled with destruction intent?”

Countless people were staring at the Universe Overturning Seal, which was still taking up half the arena, trying to perceive the aura rising from beneath it. When they felt the aura, their expressions were aghast, filled with utter shock and amazement.

Even Zhang Yangui had put away his previously nonchalant expression. His brows were furrowed as he looked toward the underside of the Universe Overturning Seal.

BANG!

The Universe Overturning Seal was suddenly sent flying, tumbling uncontrollably through the air!

Xu Disheng’s White Heron Robe had turned into a pure, uniform shade of white. It was emitting a glow that shone like moonlight, surrounding him in a sturdy barrier.

He reached out his slender finger. At the tip of his finger, there was a pure black calligraphy brush hovering in the air, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed like it would destroy everything it touched.

“Disperse…” Xu Disheng muttered quietly.

When he lifted his gaze, an enormous, phantom image of a giant timeworn bell appeared behind his head!

The moment the Universe Overturning Seal slammed down, the Paramount Ancient Bell had suddenly erupted forth. Under its miraculous effects, it stimulated his profound qi and activated the White Heron Robe, bringing forth 30% of its true might, which allowed him to block the seal’s attack.

The Paramount Ancient Bell was spilling forth innumerable beams of profound light, illuminating the White Heron Robe, causing the white moonlight glow to become even fuller. It also formed a vortex, swallowing all of the power of heaven and earth within several kilometers!

“It’s his profound law foundation!”

“What a miraculous profound law foundation… It erupted forth again and allowed Xu Disheng’s sea of qi to bring out a small portion of that Psychic Magic Treasure’s true might!”

“That golden ancient bell…I wonder how it compares to the Yin Yang Mirror, the profound law foundation that Greater Lord Zhuri condensed back in the day.”

“What Magic Treasure is that in his hand?”

“Xu Disheng once had an ordinary Magic Treasure called the Imperial Demon Brush. But the aura coming from this black calligraphy brush is definitely not that of an ordinary Magic Treasure!”

“That aura of destruction just now was coming from this brush!”

People shot to their feet, staring unblinkingly at the scene of Xu Disheng, with the mystical phantom image of the golden ancient bell behind him, and the pure black calligraphy brush in his hand. They were dumbstruck, their expressions colored with utter awe.

“Scatter and Destroy.”

The moment his words reached everyone’s ears, the black calligraphy brush floating in the hollow of his palm suddenly began to surge with a terrifying aura!

Waves of destruction aura washed outwards. The brush only moved slightly, but it caused the surrounding mist to roil and dissipate.

Zhang Yangui’s expression grew heavy. He put away the Universe Overturning Seal, which had returned to a smaller size after being sent flying. With a flick of his sleeves, a hoop clad in demon qi appeared in his hand, which he flung directly towards Xu Disheng!

The instant the hoop appeared, Xu Disheng felt the profound qi in his sea of qi grow more sluggish. As the hoop grew closer, the Shangqing profound qi in his body became less responsive to his control.

It was a Psychic Magic Treasure that came from the Ancient Nuwa Sect, the Spirit Trapping Hoop!

Under Zhang Yangui’s control, its might was a bit reduced, but it could lock up all profound qi, demon qi, and ghost qi below the Divine Core stage!

The moment he tossed out the Spirit Trapping Hoop, Zhang Yangui detected an extremely frightening aura of destruction approaching him, and his expression turned solemn. He revolved his profound qi, causing several defensive-type Psychic Magic Treasures to appear in front of him.

A drop of dense, black ink appeared at the tip of Disperse. In a flash, it transformed into countless droplets that dispersed throughout the air.

A moment later, thousands upon thousands of small, tiny droplets of black ink appeared in front of Zhang Yangui. They condensed together, forming a large droplet of pure black water!

This move, ‘Scatter and Destroy’, was brought about by Xu Disheng’s comprehension of the Pure Oblivion Water. This drop of water already possessed 10% of the power of a real drop of Pure Oblivion Water!

The outermost Psychic Magic Treasure protecting Zhang Yangui, an umbrella-type Magic Treasure, was pierced right through by the black drop of water, passing through it!

It carried on, passing through all three defensive-type Magic Treasures like a hot knife slicing through butter. By that point, the aura of the black drop of water weakened by a bit more than half, but its destruction intent hadn’t decreased one bit. It still wasn’t a force that Zhang Yangui could receive head-on!

Zhang Yangui’s face turned pale. He flipped his palm over and the Universe Overturning Seal appeared once more in front of him. The black drop of water came into contact with the surface of it.

An ear-piercing sizzling zizi sound began to ring out. After a while, the black drop of water completely dissipated. A light blemish was left behind on the Universe Overturning Seal where the drop of water came into contact with it!

The physical body of each Psychic Magic Treasure was extremely strong. The fact that this drop of water could leave a mark behind on it spoke volumes about how terrifying its power was.

However, as the one controlling the Universe Overturning Seal, Zhang Yangui simply wasn’t able to withstand the powerful backlash that resulted. He vomited up a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale. The Shangqing profound qi in his body was in chaos.

Even though Zhang Yangui took damage from Scatter and Destroy, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.

On the other side of the arena, Xu Disheng had been firmly surrounded by the hoop, trapped in the ring of light it produced. He couldn’t use any of his profound qi, leaving him no different from a mortal!

“Is that Peak Master’s Imperial Demon Brush?” a Dao Foundation stage disciple from Morning Dew Peak asked. They were in Morning Night Hall, and when he saw the scene taking place on the screen of light, his expression filled with disbelief.

Lu Changge shook his head, his gaze also fixated on the screen of light and the pure black calligraphy brush in Xu Disheng’s hand. “There’s no way. Aside from the outer appearance looking somewhat like the Imperial Demon Brush, there’s nothing else familiar about it.”

“I’m afraid Xu Disheng might lose now,” Bai Honghua said with a soft sigh, examining the Spirit Trapping Hoop tightly binding Xu Disheng and the powerful waves of restrictive power it was releasing.

After being bound by the Spirit Trapping Hoop, the Shangqing profound qi in Xu Disheng’s Jianggong meridian point had become completely stagnant. Even though the Paramount Ancient Bell was mysterious and powerful, he could only move 10% of his profound qi.

But… at this moment, Xu Disheng’s head was lowered, and the aura coming from his body seemed to have disappeared altogether. Anyone would believe that he had been completely restrained by the Spirit Trapping Hoop, unable to move even a sliver of his profound qi just like a mortal.

A clear cry suddenly resounded throughout the arena.

A blazing fire phoenix appeared, bringing with it a sweeping conflagration of flames. The moment it appeared, it flapped its wings and let out a cry. It launched itself towards Xu Disheng, its body wreathed in billowing flames.

Zhang Yangui immediately took several pills and herbs. Then, he activated the Jade Water True Sword at full might. “Jade Water Reaching the Sky!”

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

It was this move again!

Hundreds and thousands of icy blue sword lights filled the sky above the arena. After a while, they all coalesced together, forming a resplendent blue sword radiance.

This radiant blue orb released by the Jade Water True Sword trailed closely behind the Scarlet Flame Phoenix, approaching him at a breakneck speed!

Xu Disheng’s head was still lowered, not a single ripple of profound qi coming from his body. It seemed like he would be ruthlessly blown off the stage in the next moment, wracked with heavy injuries.
