Chapter 357: Chapter 353 Illusion Divine Palm
Hiss Hiss Hiss!
The shadows of the Thousand Extremes Palm surged like tides, incessant and unending, each one like a colossal wave, seemingly poised to engulf Ye Zhen, but the Wind Cloud Sword Qi unleashed by Ye Zhen crackled with lightning, shattering each shadowy palm into pieces.
For a moment, Ye Zhen and Hand Extreme Bu Changtian seemed evenly matched.
This scene immediately stunned the onlookers.
Ye Zhen, with only the Second Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation, could actually contend evenly with Bu Changtian of the Hand Extreme, who boasted the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm?
Hand Extreme Bu Changtian was no ordinary Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist.
The voices that had been weighing odds and discussing the outcome were now all gone, every pair of eyes transfixed on the Dragon Head Arena, afraid to miss any part of the action.
Even the usually arrogant Huaa Wushuang was now intently focused on the Dragon Head Arena.
However, Huaa Wushuang’s gaze was entirely fixated on the red, cracked Profound Yang Sword in Ye Zhen’s hand.
"If I remember correctly, Zheng Fuyun also wielded a long sword like that, didn’t he?" A cold smirk played on Huaa Wushuang’s lips.
Above the eighth arena, Grand Deacon Qingyi’s expression also turned solemn.
Especially the solemn sword momentum radiating from Ye Zhen, which gave Qingyi an extraordinary sense of shock; if one closed their eyes and sensed with their divine sense, they would perceive a long sword piercing the heavens, not a living being.
This sensation gave Qingyi a very bad feeling. Just how high must one’s Sword Dao cultivation be to achieve this?
Naturally, Qingyi was unaware that this was the aura of Ye Zhen after entering Sword Heart Enlightenment.
Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s expression also turned extremely grave. No matter how strong one thought Ye Zhen was while merely watching, only after actually facing him in combat could one realize that Ye Zhen was more formidable and more monstrous than imagined.
His Thousand Extremes Palm was his signature technique, a martial skill of the Middle-grade Earth Level, and he had already grasped its concept to great accomplishment. How could a normal martial artist stay composed in the face of the unceasing, wave-like shadows of the palm, trembling before even making a move, let alone responding with composure as Ye Zhen did?
Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s sword light accelerated like a rainbow as he rapidly retreated. In his advance and retreat, he immediately found a brief gap in time.
The Profound Yang Sword vanished abruptly, and Ye Zhen’s hands quickly formed a series of complex and profound hand seals.
"Bu Changtian, try taking a move from me!"
A red seal burst forth from the front of Ye Zhen, shooting towards Bu Changtian like a bolt of lightning.
"Be careful!"
"Changtian, retreat quickly!"
Almost simultaneously, the voices of warning from Qingyi, the elder from Phantom Divine Sect, and the Thousand Illusion Eagle King resounded in Bu Changtian’s mind. For someone of their cultivation, the terrifying power fluctuations contained within the Red Jade Seal caused them all to feel a profound shock.
Particularly the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, who had suffered greatly from the Red Jade Seal, sounded even more urgent and harsh in his warning.
Bu Changtian’s lips curved slightly, a hint of a mysterious smile flashing across.
In an instant, his palm technique changed drastically, and a large hand seal, almost indistinguishable from a real flesh palm, suddenly appeared out of thin air, slamming down towards Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Seal with lightning speed.
True Void Palm!
Wherever the hand seal passed, the air rippled with circular waves, and what was most surprising was that the True Void Palm emitted a faint trace of Divine Soul Power.
Under the guidance of this barely perceptible Divine Soul Power, the True Void Palm locked onto the direction of the Red Jade Seal, correcting its course to follow its movements, holding on tenaciously.
"Hmm, not bad, the sect’s Spiritual Power Secret Technique, True Void Palm. With proper activation, it’s perfectly suited for dealing with this Red Jade Seal," Qingyi, hovering high above, chuckled as he stroked his beard, his tense expression finally relaxing somewhat.
"Let’s see whether your True Void Palm is more powerful or my Red Jade Seal!" Ye Zhen’s gaze sharpened, and he suddenly let out a cold snort, "Red Jade Seal, suppress!"
In an instant, the Red Jade Seal burst with brilliance, like the morning sun shooting forth, colliding with the True Void Palm, which gripped fiercely like human fingers, intent on crushing the Red Jade Seal to pieces!
Boom!
The fingers of the True Void Palm that touched the Red Jade Seal melted away like a hot knife through butter, and almost at the same time, the entire True Void Palm dissolved under the radiance of the Red Jade Seal.
"Go!"
After directly suppressing the True Void Palm, the light of the Red Jade Seal suddenly condensed and shot towards Bu Changtian once more.
This scene shocked all the spectators.
No one expected the Red Jade Seal to be so ferocious as to directly suppress the Phantom Divine Sect’s secret Spiritual Power Secret Technique and still retain the capability to harm others.
While the others exclaimed, the protagonist of the battle, Bu Changtian, became even more resolute.
Indeed, the True Void Palm was suppressed by Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Seal, and indeed, Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Great Palm Seal was incredibly powerful. However, thanks to his True Void Palm’s intervention, it was clear that the brilliance and power fluctuations of the Red Jade Seal had been greatly dampened.
His True Void Palm was not to no avail.
In the next instant, Hand Extreme Bu Changtian’s figure flickered rapidly, dodging the Red Jade Seal like a meteor circling the entire Dragon Head Arena while launching another True Void Palm towards Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Seal.
Ye Zhen’s brows furrowed slightly.
Following two consecutive blockades by the True Void Palm, the power of his Red Jade Seal had been reduced by more than sixty percent, no longer posing a threat to Bu Changtian.
Indeed, beneath a great reputation, there truly was no emptiness!
Merely by blocking my Red Jade Seal, Bu Changtian has demonstrated considerable skill.
Bang!
When the third True Void Palm Seal collided with Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Seal, an extremely mysterious and arcane aura suddenly radiated from around Bu Changtian.
"Hm?"
As Ye Zhen’s expression shifted, the figure of the Grand Deacon Bu Changtian trembled, and his form abruptly split into two, and with another tremble, the two split into four.
In the skies above the Dragon Head Arena, there suddenly appeared four Bu Changtians.
Ye Zhen’s pupils contracted sharply. With his mind still in the state of Sword Heart Enlightenment, he instantly discerned the actuality of the four Bu Changtians in the sky, quickly identifying Bu Changtian’s real body.
However, the aura emitted by the other three illusions was almost identical to that of Bu Changtian’s real body.
Ye Zhen was also capable of such an avatar secret technique; his Spirit Light Shadow Transformation Secret Technique could divide him into three illusions. But they were not the same as the illusions created by Bu Changtian.
An illusion is an illusion; it simply couldn’t possess almost the same aura as the real body.
However, Bu Changtian’s illusions did exactly that, setting off alarm bells in Ye Zhen’s mind!
"Illusion Divine Palm!"
In the sky, the four illusions of Bu Changtian simultaneously chanted clear sounds and the same fluctuations of spiritual power rose from each, as if cast from the same mold, all four illusions struck their palms at the same time.
In an instant, the four illusions moved in a crisscross pattern, creating countless palm shadows that poured down like a torrential downpour from all directions upon Ye Zhen, engulfing him in an ocean of palm shadows within moments.
"It’s a pity..."
Below the arena, Mo Xinsui let out a gentle sigh. He recognized this Illusion Divine Palm and knew full well that it was an untransmitted supreme skill of the Phantom Divine Sect, beyond the reach of most of the Sect Elders.
But as the leading pillar among the True Disciples of the Phantom Divine Sect, and regarded by the Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing as the next figurehead of the sect, the Great Palm Seal was bestowed to Bu Changtian.
This Illusion Divine Palm had reached the upper-grade Earth Level, but its power was rumored to be close to a Heavenly Level Divine Power Martial Technique.
Each illusion created possessed about eighty percent of the attack power of the real body, essentially turning Ye Zhen’s one-on-one fight into a four-on-one. It was said that Fuh Dongxing could manifest up to sixteen Illusion Divine Palms when employing this technique.
However, the fact that Ye Zhen had forced Bu Changtian to use this rarely revealed Illusion Divine Palm was enough for Ye Zhen to take pride in.
Zuo Bin, also a disciple of the Phantom Divine Sect, couldn’t help but flash a hint of inexplicable envy.
If he could have learned this Illusion Divine Palm, he might now have a chance to contend for the top three spots on the Black Dragon Ranking.
"Not bad, very strong! With this Illusion Divine Palm, this guy is indeed worthy of being my opponent! Three of them!" Yem Yuan grinned widely, his expression tinged with an inexplicable excitement.
Huaa Wushuang, Ye Zhen, Bu Changtian, suddenly three such strong contenders emerged, truly exhilarating for him!
Seeing Bu Changtian unleash the Illusion Divine Palm, both Qing Yii and the Thousand Illusion Eagle King breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Second Elder Jis Che and Seventh Elder Zhongli Jing of the Qiyun Sect were preoccupied with other arenas where Mei Yuanju and Wuw Mingda were fighting, their hearts were still connected to Ye Zhen’s opening battle.
As they saw Ye Zhen engulfed by Bu Changtian’s palm shadows, they also became anxious.
However, a glance at Caiyi instantly calmed them again.
Her expression was serene and tranquil, her gaze intently fixed on the arena without a trace of worry.
In the whole Qiyun Sect, if anyone knew Ye Zhen’s strength best, it was Caiyi. As long as Caiyi wasn’t worried, neither were they.
Still, they didn’t understand, with what would Ye Zhen withstand Bu Changtian’s Illusion Divine Palm?
Above the Dragon Head Arena, the display by Ye Zhen, engulfed by the palm shadows from the four Bu Changtians, once again caused a huge shock.
Even as palm shadows poured like rain, or spilled water, Ye Zhen seemed to be strolling leisurely amongst the myriad of palm shadows.
It wasn’t that Ye Zhen managed to dodge all the palm shadows; that would be impossible.
There was a huge gap in cultivation between Ye Zhen and Bu Changtian, and now faced with four Bu Changtians, the pressure was unimaginable.
Ye Zhen was not a god; there was no way he could escape all of them.
Above the Dragon Head Arena, the sound of Ye Zhen being hit, bang bang bang, resounded continuously.
The power of these Illusion Divine Palms was formidable; each hit made the light from Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Spirit Armor flash. If hit consecutively, cracks would appear on his Red Jade Spirit Armor.
However, under Ye Zhen’s heightened perceptions from Sword Heart Enlightenment, he rarely used the incredibly elusive Chasing Star Step again, and his Profound Yang Sword strikes were as fast as lightning. Most of the Illusion Divine Palms were avoided by Ye Zhen.
Only when there was no way to evade did Ye Zhen opt to endure the hits with his body.
"Hmph, not a bad footwork technique!"
In the sky, Bu Changtian suddenly chuckled coldly, "Ye Zhen, your time of death has arrived!"
Suddenly, the four intersecting figures of Bu Changtian in the sky all charged toward Ye Zhen simultaneously.
As the four figures of Bu Changtian moved, the palm shadows converging towards the center where Ye Zhen was positioned multiplied, becoming more than four times as dense in an instant.
In a moment, the hearts of Jis Che and Zhongli Jing rose to their throats. Even Caiyi’s usually tranquil face showed a flicker of concern.
"Hmph, really? Who’s meeting their end is not yet certain!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
