Chapter 656: 534-535: Astonishing Plan, Combining Hard and Soft Divine Skills (Guaranteed to Request Monthly Ticket)_2

During the previous engagement with him, I had forced him to utilize that power within him, and although it was for a brief moment, I sensed that it was indeed tremendously powerful, yet it did not exceed what I could withstand.

His strength has its limits."

Dongfang Bubai responded coolly, "But in what state were you when you fought him?"

Jiang Dali furrowed his brows and remained silent.

He was in a life-and-death state after executing the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, engaging in combat with Iron Gall Divine Hou.

In the life-and-death state, each strike inflicted damage that couldn’t exactly be described as consistently at one extreme intensity, but it was certainly more than eight times stronger than his full strike under normal circumstances!

Only with such terrifyingly destructive power was he able to break the old eunuch’s arm in a previous fight with the Sweeping Monk.

However, when Sweeping Monk had fought him, he had clearly been holding back due to the Heaven, Earth, and Man Tribulations, and his physical strength was also far less than Jiang’s.

The old eunuch purely fell short due to his weaker physical strength and stamina, aiming at longer reach with shorter grasp.

To face Jiang Dali head-on in a life-and-death confrontation and not have an arm broken would indeed be the surprise.

But the old eunuch was indeed formidable; in his final furious attack, if not for the thousand-year-old yellow ginseng juice, Jiang might not have had the strength to continue fighting.

"The power of Iron Gall Divine Hou’s Inner Strength, I fear, exceeds that of ten sixty-year cycles; such robust Inner Strength protected him, combined with the Absorption Skill which could mitigate over seventy percent of the damage, allowed him to withstand three strikes from me in the life-and-death state and still stand."

Jiang Dali pondered aloud.

In his mind, he recalled the moment during the fight with Iron Gall Divine Hou when the latter used the Absorption Skill to neutralize the force he had exerted.

At that time, it was extremely uncomfortable for him as each impact he inflicted on his opponent was about seventy to eighty percent neutralized by the Absorption Skill, feeling as though tempered steel was being bent by softness.

From this aspect, it was sufficient to demonstrate the formidable effectiveness of the Absorption Skill, truly worthy of being compared with the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill.

"The Absorption Skill and the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, these two Divine Skills are one soft and one hard, mutually restricting yet complementing each other."

Dongfang Bubai said indifferently, "Those who learn the Absorption Skill inevitably need to learn the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, and those who have learned the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, inevitably need to complement it by learning the Absorption Skill.

One uses minimal effort to move a great weight, while the other uses overwhelming force to overpower.

And if one cultivates both Divine Skills simultaneously, they harmonize softness and hardness, complementing each other, achieving utter perfection.

Your self-created Absorption Skill, although ferocious and aggressive, is clearly not yet equivalent to the Absorption Skill, but it indeed helps to fully exert the power of the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill!"

"Exactly!"

Jiang Dali said gravely, "Now, though Iron Gall Divine Hou can’t do much about me, neither can I do much about him.

Even his cultivation of the Absorption Skill has clearly surpassed my Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill; if he were to strike with all his might, I might still have to avoid his edge."

Dongfang Bubai added, "You have left out one detail; what makes him stronger than you is not just the realm of his Divine Skill but also his power.

You mentioned he has the power worth ten sixty-year cycles; such potent power, and it’s unknown how many others’ powers he has absorbed over the years, he could definitely outlast you when you can no longer maintain the life-and-death state and then defeat you.

However, he chose not to strike, considering the Imperial Throne more important than defeating you."

With an icy glint in his singular eye, Jiang Dali chuckled coldly, "Now the fake Emperor has been killed by people he deployed, including the thirteen Grand Protectors, the Seven Shadow Eunuchs, and the old eunuch— all dead.

Imperial Army has also suffered heavy losses, and Southern King has died.

Everyone has been sacrificed.

Hahaha..."

Jiang Dali sneered, "And this village chief will surely be charged with the assassination of the Ming Emperor.

Iron Gall Divine Hou will be hailed as a heroic protector; all his objectives have been achieved, and he has become the biggest winner.

Such cunning calculations, indeed!

But he certainly never expected that letting me go would be his biggest mistake!

In a gamble, temporary wins or losses matter little, so long as one is still in the game, the stakes remain.

The one who ends up acquiring all the stakes will be the ultimate winner!"

Admiration flashed through Dongfang Bubai’s eyes as He stood with hands clasped behind, looking forward, allowing the green locks to dance in the wind with the red clothes, majestic and composed, "Wind and waves meet the soaring head; just smile, no need to worry. It’s best for you to think this way.

Actually... I have noticed that whether it’s the Absorption Skill or the Vajra Invulnerability Divine Skill, they both have their flaws, have you noticed?"

"Oh?"

Jiang Dali expressed confusion, shaking his head.

"It’s the Realm."

Dongfang Bubai elaborated, "Iron Gall Divine Hou’s Realm is genuine; he likely only stepped into the Heavenly Human 2 Realm not long ago.

Given his current age and not-so-poor martial arts talent, his cultivation speed is indeed quite slow.

And you also mentioned that Gu Santong never even reached the Heavenly Person level.

That might partly be due to his imprisonment, but more likely it’s because these two Divine Skills are easy to start but hard to master.

Thus, after cultivating these two Divine Skills, it wears down a person’s spirit, Essence Qi, and consciousness; without great perseverance and wisdom, one finds it difficult to achieve Great Enlightenment while cultivating these two Divine Skills, stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm, let alone advancing further within the Heavenly Human Realm."

Jiang Dali felt that Dongfang Bubai’s words seemed reasonable.

Even Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue were already strong experts at Heavenly Human Realm 3.

Naturally, that was because both men hid in their rooms daily, practicing their Divine Thought Strike Skill and sword techniques, making them excellent in the cultivation of Divine Intent.

But given Iron Gall Divine Hou’s age, only being at Heavenly Human 2 Realm was indeed quite unremarkable, blaming it on the flaws of the Divine Skills seemed fairly justified.
