Chapter 537 - The Battling Nine-headed Lion & Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons

During the half year they spent traveling from the insect planet back to the Ancestral Star, Zhong Yue imparted Gu Hongzi with the knowledge of the extreme states. Thus, allowing Gu Hongzi to cultivate the Nine Revolving Inner Cores and the other extreme states.

Gu Hongzi’s Nine Revolving Inner Core was known as the Sealing Goose Force Field. There would be a bird celestial being that emerged in the middle of the force field, this bird was the core of the whole force field. This force field’s main use was to seal the opponent’s arcane energy and skills.

Long Yue’s Nine Revolving Inner Core six bright moons hovering above the Star Toad celestial being was mainly used to distort space and slowly grind the opponent away.

In addition to Zhong Yue’s Celestial Demon Tai Chi Force Field, they were able to suppress the nine-headed lion!

Just how strong would three inner core force field be when stacked up together?

But Shi Buyi was still able to move around freely within.

The nine-headed lion celestial being bristled his furs up and forcibly pressed against the force fields’ pressure. Every movement he made would cause the force fields to shudder with instability. Although the three force fields were suppressing him, only his movements were slightly affected and the slaughtering array formation wasn’t as strong as before.

Zhong Yue cast the Golden Peng Sword, Long Yue wielded the two venomous fangs and in addition to Gu Hongzi’s serpent spear, the four divine weapons roamed around Shi Buyi’s mortal body. The three of them were circling around him as they relentlessly launched attacks at him.

Shi Buyi’s cultivation base, arcane energy and skills were suppressed by the force fields, leaving him with only seventy percent of his usual prowess.

Before this, his defense could be said as flawless and his attacks dominating. Zhong Yue, Long Yue and Shi Buyi couldn’t even breakthrough his defense. But now, the three of them were able to inflict considerable damage to him.

Arms protruded out from Zhong Yue and Long Yue, the two of them cast the【Monster God Ming King Art】in battle against Shi Buyi.

Zhong Yue faced with Shi Buyi in a frontal battle, he dragged 80% of Shi Buyi’s attacks while Gu Hongzi and Long Yue released their strongest attacks at Shi Buyi.

Chi, chi, chi——

Shi Buyi’s defense was broke through and the divine weapons landed directly on his body. The venom that seeped into the wounds created by the fangs further debilitated Shi Buyi’s bodily functions even further.

The venomous fangs were from the monster god Yu Wenju, one of the few gods that managed to escape the ambush of the mother and insect gods. His venom was incredibly potent, and in just seconds, Shi Buyi felt his body and Yuan Shen becoming numb.

Suddenly, Shi Buyi’s nine heads roared out loud and trembled Zhong Yue and the others. Their attacks were stalled for a split second.

It was at this moment that the nine-headed celestial being morphed into his true form, a nine-headed lion. He was huge like a mountain and with all his nine divine eyes, he blasted laser-like rays at the three of them.

Nine golden rays flashed across the air in the blink of an eye, Zhong Yue managed to rush in front of Gu Hongzi and Long Yue. He pushed his hands out and the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】appeared in front of him. The【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】was cast eight times in quick succession so that their defensive power could stack on top of one another to block Shi Buyi’s attack.

Krong————

The【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】was broken through and the eyes on his palms were pierced through by the nine godly rays.

On his chest, the ninth godly ray pierced through his heart, creating a thorough hole which was still charred on the side.

The godly rays continued after the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】stalled them, Gu Hongzi and Long Yue worked together and blocked the godly ray. The two of them muffled a deep groan and their defensive arts were shattered. Long Yue’s arms were severed from his body and the venomous fangs fell to the ground. A hole appeared created on his torso and another godly ray flashed across the side of his face, nearly going through his head.

Gu Hongzi was stronger, but he couldn’t block the godly rays either as two rays shot through his thighs, breaking the bones in his thighs.

Totem patterns immediately flew out from his body and reconnected the broken bones. He didn’t cultivate the Immortal Body and could only connect them back with the totem patterns. The bones were still broken but the totem patterns were able to temporarily hold them in place so that his prowess was not affected.

“Krong——”

Shi Buyi roared again, and the force fields shuddered violently as they started to crack.

As the nine-headed lion roared, the sonic wave formed visible totem patterns and billowed out in all directions. Zhong Yue, Long Yue and Gu Hongzi were struck by the sonic wave and their wounds worsened from the blast!

Long Yue suddenly crawled on the ground and turned into the six-eyed Star Toad as he roared back.

“Mang-gu——”

His voice was low and powerful as the soundwave billowed over at Shi Buyi.

Gu Hongzi raised his head high and released a high-pitched shriek.

Whereas Zhong Yue clasped his hands together and the【Shao Hao Bell】emerged within his arms. And a resonant bell toll impacted on Shi Buyi’s senses.

Krong, krong, krong——

Long Yue muffled pained groan as his inner core force field collapsed and his Nine Revolving Inner Core flew back into his forehead. It was filled with cracks, as if a single poke was all it would take to shatter it.

As his force field collapsed, his toad roar wasn’t able to press against Shi Buyi’s lion roar anymore. Immediately, the six-eyed Star Toad he formed was struck away and he crashed out for a few hundred miles, turning back into his usual form with a heavily wounded mortal body.

Long Yue landed with his limbs on the ground, he abruptly raised his head and shot a godly ray out from his divine eye. The roaring nine-headed lion moved his hands continuously into the Eight Extreme Slaughtering Array and formed a light screen in front of him to defend the godly ray.

Right at that instant, Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye and shot another godly ray that broke through the light screen, striking toward Shi Buyi’s throat.

Totem patterns suddenly emerged in front of Shi Buyi’s throat and formed little shields that stalled the godly ray. The godly ray struck through many pieces of these little shields before its energy finally wore off.

Although the godly ray was stopped, Shi Buyi’s face changed drastically. The ray’s residual energy still barely struck on the tip of his larynx, precisely where his flaw was located!

Immediately, the nine-headed lion’s blood essence was sent into tumult. He muffled a deep groan but the roars continued, except that there were now blood spurting out alongside his roars.

The nine-headed lion still stood high as his ferocious roars continued unabated. Moments later, Gu Hongzi’s inner core force field also collapsed, and the heavily fractured inner core filled flew back to him.

But Gu Hongzi stood steadfast on the ground. Blood streamed out from his mouth as he continued to counter the lion roar with his shrieks.

Krong——

Zhong Yue’s Tai Chi Force Field collapsed as well, his inner core was also filled with cracks, on the verge of shattering.

With the three inner core force fields broken away by Shi Buyi, the roars stopped.

Such prowess…

Zhong Yue, Gu Hongzi and Long Yue were spurting blood. Their bodies that were wracked with injuries swayed weakly, as if on the verge of collapse. Their hearts were in shock. Shi Buyi had been poisoned and suppressed by three of the strongest experts in this world. Yet, he was still able to push them back and inflict such heavy wounds on them. He truly was terrifying....

He really does live up to his title as the monster overlord, the one who discovered the【Monster God Ming King Art】!

Zhong Yue straightened his bent body and stared fixedly at Shi Buyi as he thought with admiration, If only the cultivation technique he had acquired wasn’t flawed but a complete one, he would already be a monster god!

Shi Buyi’s nine heads held gloomy expressions, and the pungent stench of blood made his breath even more repulsive. The venom from the fangs were infecting his mortal body and Yuan Shen.

The Ming King divine eyes on his nine heads were also bleeding. Zhong Yue’s godly ray from the divine third eye struck at his weakness and nearly brought him down. Even though it didn’t really happen, his divine eyes were still impaired and nearly exploded.

Zhong Yue’s eyes suddenly focused on the eight soul weapons in Shi Buyi’s hands. Although these eight soul weapons clashed with the divine weapons so many times, they weren’t damaged nor did they show any signs of breaking.

Zhong Yue’s eyes thumped and he mumbled, “The extreme state of the Imminent Deity level, he did it…”

These soul weapons weren’t divine weapons, but malefic weapons. They were soul weapons on par with the Swords Gate’s Ten Malefic Weapons!

Such soul weapons could only be forged by those who had achieved the extreme state in the Imminent Deity level.

After acquiring the【Monster God Ming King Art】, Shi Buyi had tens of years to become the Imminent Deity magnates. However, due to the flaw in his cultivation technique, he was left stranded at the final step before ascension into deityhood. Thus, all those years spent at the Imminent Deity level made his attainments in the Immineny Deity level deeper than anyone else’s.

Eventually, he come to realize the Imminent Deity level’s state of extremity, and cultivated the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons!

With him wielding the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons, he would be even stronger than using the divine weapons. These Eight Malefic Weapons as a whole were on par with divine weapons. Furthermore, as the creator and master of the weapons, he was able to wield them to their full potential!

The last time he battled with the old man, he did not have the Eight Extreme Malefic Weapons yet … Did he cultivate it after that battle? Zhong Yue frowned as he thought.

The nine-headed lion suddenly shrunk down from the size of a mountain to only seven inches tall before growing back into the size of a mountain again. The process was repeated for a few times as blood vapor discharged from his mortal body.

Gu Hongzi’s face changed drastically, he lunged toward Shi Buyi and shouted, “He is trying to erase the monster god’s venom!”

Zhong Yue and Long Yue soon rushed over as well. The nine-headed lion possessed a powerful cultivation base, being able to compress the venom in his body together to discharge it out of his body in a vaporized form!

Although there were no longer the three force fields helping them in suppressing Shi Buyi anymore, Shi Buyi was gravely injured. Their battle reached a feverish pitch, and the slightest moment of distraction could cost them their lives!

Meanwhile, a few thousand miles away, Qiu Qingshan stood quietly under the shade of a little pavilion. He had the face of an honest man, like a common farmer. He looked at a mirror in front of him, and inside of the mirror, it reflected the battle that was taking place.

“The true victor…" The corner of his lips curled up in a subtle smile that seemed to hold a multitude of meanings.
