Free Web NovelChapter 243: Chapter 211: The Enraged Saint Elephant Ancestor
With every step he took,
The Power he carried was like a collision of stars.
A Power as deep as an abyss and vast as the sea caused the universe to tremble, the void to constantly collapse, and thousands of mountains to shudder in unison.
His might and presence...
...were truly like that of an Ancient Holy Elephant—one that could shake the world with a stomp of its foot and pluck stars from the sky with its trunk—crossing the river of time to descend upon the present world.
BOOM!!
The vast earth heaved and shuddered.
Above the abyss at the ruins of Jade Dragon City,
Saint Elephant Ancestor finally stopped. His hair and beard stood on end, his battle armor clanked, and his Heaven-Supporting Physique stood firm and indestructible like a Divine Pillar.
He looked up!
His eyes, in which fourteen golden suns seemed to float, looked as if they could burn everything to ash. His gaze pierced through the abyssal, ocean-like pressure.
He stared furiously into the black-and-white world.
At the peak of the Sky Thunder Sea,
Staring up at the eyes of a God and Demon that filled the sky—eyes that could plunge even a Great Divine Power User into the Sea of Suffering in Hell—Saint Elephant Ancestor let out a thunderous roar, a bellow like that of a Holy Elephant:
"If you want a fight, then let’s fight! Why bully the weak and resort to such ruthless slaughter?!"
Who was this newcomer?
Saint Elephant Ancestor already had a good idea.
Wielding Celestial Punishment with the presence of a God and Demon.
Only that monster, whose name had shaken the world several times, possessed such terrifying and unique Fist Momentum!
And only that monster...
...would be so savage and vicious!
He killed whomever he pleased, running rampant without restraint!
But knowing was one thing.
Actually facing him was another entirely.
The hundred Celestial Beings and the one Divine Power Martial Artist stationed at Jade Dragon Pass were all his disciples and grand-disciples!
Such a deep-seated grudge...
Saint Elephant Ancestor wished he could swallow Wu Dao whole, flay him alive, and refine his very soul!
"Why?"
In the black-and-white sky,
Atop the surging, destructive Thunder Sea,
In the palm of the towering God of Celestial Punishment who wore the Emperor’s Crown, Wu Dao stood, his black robes fluttering. With eyes like the Abyss, he looked down upon Saint Elephant Ancestor and said indifferently:
"Does one need a reason to crush an ant?
Oh, I almost forgot.
You’re an ant, too.
That’s why you empathize with ants, feel anger, and demand some nonsensical reason."
"..."
The moment these words were spoken, the world seemed to fall silent for an instant.
"An ant... HAHAHA... An ant!"
Saint Elephant Ancestor threw his head back and roared with laughter. The sound shook the universe for a thousand miles and made the void in all eight directions tremble and boom, like the prelude to an Eternal Volcano’s eruption.
"Then let this old man show you!"
His laughter stopped abruptly.
Endless, furious flames of killing intent erupted from Saint Elephant Ancestor’s pupils. A destructive gang wind spewed from every pore of his body. The space around him twisted and blurred, completely submerged by a boundless, boiling sea of golden vital energy.
BOOM!!
The next instant!
The Eternal Volcano erupted!
BELLOW!!
A great sun flared, and the Holy Elephant stomped its hoof!
The sea of golden vital energy roared and surged, covering the sky as it smashed through the Chaos Dam. It crushed the endless black-and-white Celestial Thunder in its path, surging back toward the heavens with an utterly tyrannical and magnificent momentum!
"We’ll see who the real ant is!!!"
Amidst a world-shaking roar like spring thunder,
Saint Elephant Ancestor formed a Fist Seal. The heaven-overturning, sea-churning power in his hand crushed a thousand miles of void. Behind him, the colossal Ancient Holy Elephant from the Primordial Chaos moved with his fist, raising its trunk to strike at Wu Dao on the Absolute Peak of the heavens.
The moment this punch struck,
It was as if fourteen great suns had exploded at once.
Or like an Ancient Holy Elephant stomping its feet and trampling the eight wastelands.
RUMBLE—
Before the fist even arrived!
The World-Ending Level shockwave created by the Power compressing the atmosphere had already formed a destructive hurricane that swept out for a thousand miles.
BOOM!!
The vast earth instantly exploded into an abyss. Thousands of mountains, along with a boundless amount of earth and rock, trembled, were suspended in the air, and then annihilated into nothingness. Indeed, when a man’s killing intent erupts, the world itself is turned upside down!
A power so great it could tear heaven and earth asunder!
Holy Elephant Heaven-Equalizing Force!
It emulated the ancient Golden Holy Elephant, renowned for its strength, a creature that could weigh the heavens and the earth!
With each Gate,
the physical strength of a Horizontal Refiner cultivating the Holy Elephant Heaven-Equalizing Force would far surpass that of other Horizontal Refiners.
In terms of raw Power alone,
even if the founder of Martial King Mountain were resurrected,
and even though he had only reached Great Success in the Nine Daoist Sects,
Saint Elephant Ancestor would dare to arm-wrestle him and compete for supremacy!
’It’s true that Wu Dao is a monster.’
’But I, Saint Elephant Ancestor, have a thousand years of Cultivation.’
’As the only person in the current age to reach Great Success in the Nine Daoist Sects, standing at the Absolute Peak of Transverse Cultivation, I naturally have my pride. I’m not someone who can be humiliated at will.’
’Prince Nanyang is at the Nine Transformations Peak.’
’I truly was no match for him; my strength was inferior.’
’But you, Wu Dao...’
’You’re just a newly-ascended Ninth Transformation!’
’A Ninth Transformation who barely scraped by, using every trick in the book!’
’An ant?’
’The arrogance is boundless!’
RUMBLE—
In the flash of an eye,
Saint Elephant Ancestor, erupting in extreme fury, threw a universe-shattering punch that had already torn through the Thunder Sea. Carrying an ocean of golden vital energy that submerged the world, it struck viciously toward Wu Dao.
But...
What gave Saint Elephant Ancestor an ominous feeling was that...
...in the face of his furious punch, a blow powerful enough to tear apart an ordinary practitioner at the first step of the Ninth Transformation,
Wu Dao’s expression remained completely calm the entire time.
There wasn’t the slightest hint of surprise or panic.
He simply stared at him indifferently with those Black Abyss eyes that seemed capable of swallowing the entire world.
It was as if...
...as if he were watching an insect waving its claws.
’This spawn of evil!’
’Does he really see this old ancestor as an ant?’
BOOM!
Endless fury compressed in his chest, hot enough to burn down the universe. Saint Elephant Ancestor held nothing back, erupting with his full power. He wanted to smash Wu Dao into pulp with a single punch to vent the hatred in his heart!
But just then!
In the center of the resplendent golden world!
Beneath the Golden Holy Elephant!
Wu Dao, who was smaller than a speck of dust in comparison!
Slowly raised his palm.
There was no earth-shattering phenomenon.
Just like an ordinary person in a fight catching a fist with a palm, he lightly moved to envelop Saint Elephant Ancestor’s world-destroying punch.
CLANG!!!
The sound of Divine Iron colliding echoed through the universe.
Dazzling sparks.
They submerged Saint Elephant Ancestor’s incredulous gaze and flooded the void in all directions, like a Divine Sun exploding in the sky, briefly illuminating the world for thousands of miles.
And then...
...something even more horrifying happened to Saint Elephant Ancestor.
His punch, carrying enough force to shatter a thousand miles of mountains and rivers, was like a clay ox sinking into the sea after being enveloped by Wu Dao’s palm.
Aside from the sparks from their collision,
not a single shred of Power escaped Wu Dao’s palm. It was as if it had encountered a bottomless black hole; not even the slightest ripple was made.
The only change was...
...that...
BZZT!
A buzzing tremor began.
A layer of golden electrical ripples suddenly appeared on Wu Dao’s body, like the gaping maw of an Abyss swallowing nutrients.
After receiving sufficient nourishment,
the golden film of magnetic-field current rapidly expanded, thickened, and spread out, forming a solid Gang Shield like a brilliant sun that completely enveloped Wu Dao.
This aura...
Saint Elephant Ancestor felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the familiar aura emanating from the golden electrical Gang Shield surrounding Wu Dao!
’This is my Power!’
’My Power became Wu Dao’s protective shield?’
’What kind of joke is this!!!’
CRACKLE CRACKLE~
Wu Dao, who had unleashed Shen Wutian the moment Saint Elephant Ancestor attacked, slightly cracked his neck. His eyes held the starry sky as he said faintly, "You want to know what true Power is? I’ll teach you."
CLANG CLANG CLANG—
The Heart Lake Alarm Bell rang wildly.
In that instant,
Saint Elephant Ancestor felt extreme danger. A great terror filled his mind and Divine Soul, as if he would plunge into the Abyss in the very next moment.
BZZZT!!
But before he could react,
countless golden currents of Primordial Magnetism formed.
The expanded Invincible True Gang suddenly contracted, concentrating all the Magnetic Field Power it had previously absorbed and reversed into Wu Dao’s palm!
Turning his own power against him!
There’s no need to absorb it into the body and risk harm.
It directly absorbs the enemy’s Magnetic Field Power and converts it into a protective Gang Shield.
Completely without cost.
No need to use one’s own Power.
Using the enemy’s Power to attack the enemy!
This was Immune to All Laws, the brand new Great All Heavens Divine Technique born from the fusion of the Primordial Magnetic True Gang and the Reversed Celestial Spirit.
It was just that unreasonable!
BOOM!!
A brilliant and splendid Golden Electromagnetic Rainbow Pillar suddenly shot across the sky, illuminating the universe for thousands of miles.
"AGH!!"
THUMP—
At the origin point of the Golden Electromagnetic Rainbow Pillar!
Saint Elephant Ancestor gritted his teeth and roared as his entire right arm was instantly annihilated. Half of his body was blasted into a bloody mist by the attack!
However,
a physique that had reached Horizontal Refining Ninth Gate Great Success...
...was already absurdly tough.
In less than an instant,
Saint Elephant Ancestor regenerated his shattered body. He stared at Wu Dao, shocked and enraged, "What kind of Divine Technique is this? Why..."
"Ants are always full of ’whys.’ Why is that, I wonder?"
A faint, cold voice sounded.
As if distance and time did not exist for him, Wu Dao moved slightly and appeared before Saint Elephant Ancestor, his large hand drifting lightly toward his Heavenly Spirit Cover.
"Stop your mystical act and get lost!!"
BOOM!!
Saint Elephant Ancestor erupted with all his might, his fist cloaked in Divine Light, once again throwing a punch powerful enough to shatter a thousand miles of mountains and rivers at Wu Dao.
’Wu Dao could devour vital energy and Power.’
’I refuse to believe he can devour even Divine Power!’
