Free Web NovelChapter 473: Chapter 284: Unrivaled in This World, a Fist Like the Midday Sun, Venerable Purple Fate Grid [World’s Pride]
Above his head, multicolored clouds materialized in the void. From within them, five dragon shadows of different colors emerged.
Twining together, they resembled a hand—the Hand of Heaven.
By burning his own vitality and life force, the technique Cao Zongxi unleashed with the Great Sui Dragon Seal was even more powerful than before.
The Great Sui Dragon Seal was merely a vessel.
How to draw out the Dragon Qi within the Dragon Seal was a matter for Cao Zongxi himself.
Lu Mingyuan had just exchanged a blow with Song Yaoguang and Luo Lingxiao. He flipped back and glanced at the five colored dragon shadows. As he slowly moved his hands, streams of pure, solid-gold energy appeared in his palms.
"Great Wilderness Mountain-Shaking Fist!"
Lu Mingyuan threw one punch after another, his movements relentless. Great solar flames, the color of crimson clouds, flowed along his arms. A vast divine might, along with the Dantian’s Heaven and Earth Power, surged forth with them.
Against the gentle valley breeze, a great sun majestically rose into the sky in an instant.
Now that he had stepped into the Celestial Human Realm, this Great Wilderness Mountain-Shaking Fist was countless times more powerful than when he had been in the Dragon Gate Realm.
The manifestation of the great sun was like a true, scorching star, suspended between heaven and earth.
BOOM!
The Fist Seals collided.
The Five Dragons Celestial Seal shattered, and Cao Zongxi was sent flying. He crashed into a corner of the Sword Array, his face pale and caked with dust.
’So in the end... he’s simply unbeatable, isn’t he.’
Cao Zongxi sighed in utter defeat and charged out of the Sword Array.
"You can’t escape!"
Lu Mingyuan sneered. His Martial Dao Body manifested, now with six arms and three heads, its power soaring. One of its arms was large enough to blot out the sun and clouds.
Lu Mingyuan’s figure moved like a streak of light. Alternating between palm strikes and blasts of Fist Force, he clashed with Luo Lingxiao and Li Muwan as they tried to stop him. In a flash, he obliterated the Sword Qi River Luo Lingxiao had condensed, shattered half of the Nanli Princess’s Nanli Armor, and caught up to Cao Zongxi, slamming a palm down on the crown of his head.
BOOM!
Lu Mingyuan’s palm strike felt like a thunderclap to the skull, nearly knocking Cao Zongxi unconscious. His body plummeted toward the ground.
Almost all the trees in the valley had been destroyed.
Cao Zongxi’s falling body kicked up violent currents of air before embedding itself in the face of a cliff. He couldn’t get back up.
’I’m... utterly defeated,’ he knew.
A chill ran through the hearts of the cultivators from every faction who witnessed the scene.
Another of the Dynasties’ Pride had fallen.
Compared to Chu Longxiang, Cao Zongxi was even more brilliant. He had been famous for years and wielded immense influence throughout the Great Sui Dynasty. He was known as the future of the Great Sui, the Revival Lord most likely to restore its former glory.
Lu Mingyuan hovered above Cao Zongxi’s body, his raging Primordial Qi pinning him down. The Great Sui Dragon Seal flew out, releasing tendrils of invisible power to obstruct Lu Mingyuan.
"Don’t you dare touch His Highness, the Crown Prince!"
At that very moment, an old eunuch desperately threw himself forward to protect him, trying to stop Lu Mingyuan. He could not, under any circumstances, stand by and watch Lu Mingyuan kill the Crown Prince!
But he was blocked by Lu Mingyuan’s Martial Dao Body.
Luo Lingxiao once again deployed her twelve Lifebound Flying Swords. From within a burst of flames, Li Muwan condensed a sacred, snow-white body, entering a temporary Dharma Body state. The two of them regrouped with the Tributors from the various nations: Jiang Shan, who activated his Buddha’s Golden Body; Yao Longchuan, who also summoned a Martial Dao Body; the Nanli Sword Saint, wielding his Immortal Sword; the Great Cultivator from the Military Family, who controlled the Sword Array Tiger Talisman; and the disciple holding the Legalist Saint’s Ink Ruler.
Unleashing a barrage of Divine Techniques, Immortal Artifacts, and Magical Treasures, they all attacked Lu Mingyuan.
Every cultivator present believed that Lu Mingyuan would surely abandon his chance to kill Cao Zongxi and retreat to avoid the brunt of their combined assault.
"Eleventh Dragon Slaying Form."
Lu Mingyuan mobilized all the Power of Heaven and Earth stored in his Elixir Field Heaven and Earth Bridge. This power acted like fine threads of cosmic law, making all Magic and Divine Techniques even stronger.
Thunderous Blade Intent Marks appeared above Lu Mingyuan’s head, below his feet, and in every direction. The Power of Heaven and Earth gathered ceaselessly, swirling around him like a storm of Saber Qi.
The afterimages he left behind struck various different poses.
He smashed the Sword Array that Luo Lingxiao had arranged with her Ancient Flying Swords to pieces.
The so-called Power of Heaven and Earth was, in reality, the Power of the Great Dao—the Power of Laws.
Swords have the Sword Dao, sabers have the Sword Dao, and fists have the Fist Dao.
Yin-Yang Five Elements, three thousand Great Daos, and myriad lesser daos.
Lu Mingyuan’s Saber Technique had already reached the pinnacle of perfection. Thus, when he used the Dragon Slaying Nineteen Forms, his every move could trigger celestial phenomena.
The three Magical Treasures and various Divine Techniques launched by the Six Kingdoms’ masters fell into the vortex surrounding Lu Mingyuan. The conflicting powers neutralized each other, unable to harm him at the center of the storm.
Luo Lingxiao’s expression shifted. "This power is bizarre," she said. "I can feel the connection to my Magical Treasure weakening."
"Lu Mingyuan hasn’t even broken through to the Martial Saint Realm, yet he can forcibly sever our connection to our Magical Treasures?" Li Muwan sighed. "With his current Cultivation, wouldn’t it be a simple matter for him to just take an Innate Treasure?"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
Seeing Lu Mingyuan single-handedly take on the numerous cultivators of the Six Kingdoms, all the soldiers of the Great Yan Camp roared in unison.
The combined might of the Six Kingdoms was no match for him.
How could they possibly be a match for him?
The various factions began to question the wisdom of making an enemy of Great Yan.
If Lu Mingyuan was the benchmark...
The Six Nations’ Pride were only a third as strong as Lu Mingyuan, perhaps even only a fifth.
Then what did that make them? A twentieth? A hundredth?
After a brief moment, a golden Dragon Shadow soared into the sky, and Lu Mingyuan felt his own aura surge once more.
「Emperor Orange Fate Grid - Python and Sparrow Swallowing Dragon, Refinement Level increased to 30%」
At the same time, he noticed a distinct change in the eyes of everyone around him.
They were now filled with fear and dread.
「Gua Cheng, Moderately Auspicious!」
「Venerable Purple Life Chart - World’s Pride, Refinement Level reached 20%」
「Venerable Purple Life Chart (World’s Pride): If all the talent of the world’s Prides were ten parts, I alone would possess nine. I shall weigh every hero and champion who rises in this world. I am the chosen, and I am the one.」
「Weigh (Middle Level): Unrivaled in this age, you shall weigh all heroes. You possess keen insight, allowing you to perceive your opponents’ weaknesses. The strength of those who fear you will be diminished.」
