Chapter 351: Waves of Destruction
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"Whoosh!"
Water gushed around Wu Zhiqi.
As spiritual inscriptions appeared on Wu Zhiqi's body, a godlike might seemed to appear.
Wu Zhiqi seemed like a real god as the illusionary figure of the entire Huai River appeared behind it. The force of the flowing river slowly strengthened the beast behind it.
"A lot of spiritual inscriptions indeed!"
Seeing the water-type spiritual inscriptions all over Wu Zhiqi's monkey body formed something like an armour around him, Fang Yuan sighed.
"The power of the Huai River, enter my body and explode!"
Wu Zhiqi roared as water flowed into the sky, forming streaks of water lightning that struck the surface of the earth.
"Bang! Bang!"
The ground behind Xia Qi was struck, forming a huge indentation and a few cracks all around it. The surface appeared charred. However, in a moment, the ground began to heal itself.
This was the power of the Earth Witch! As long as he stood on the ground, he could have a boundless source of energy!
This was the perfect counter to Wu Zhiqi's river strike.
"An impressive Earth Witch indeed!"
From the monkey face of Wu Zhiqi, there was a female voice heard; it was indeed a weird sight to behold. "How can the earth block an entire river? Even if you become a complete witch, how can you compare with the 100 years of cultivation in this demon's body? Thousand miles of river!!"
As it roared, the water in Huai River exploded and started to flood out to a thousand miles.
"No!"
Fa, who had sworn to fight against the water god, realised that a tsunami was approaching him. The water from the river covered the entire sky and crashed into the division, flooding it entirely.
"Although earth might be the counter for water, I am using pure demonic strength to turn the surroundings to an underwater river city. This is my homeground, not yours!"
Wu Zhiqi laughed heartily. "Water thunder! Strike!"
"Rumble!"
108 balls of water appeared in the sky before turning into bolts of water lightning.
"Bang! Bang!"
The Earth Giant hollered as the earth rose around him. A layer of earth shielded him from 70 over water lightnings before the shield of earth gave way and crumbled.
"Rumble!"
The remaining bolts of lightning struck with its full might on Xia Qi's body.
As he shrieked, many scars appeared on his body. This time, they did not immediately heal. Instead, Xia Qi quickly screamed. "Fang Yuan... Quickly help me!"
"3 Talents Sword Array, go!"
Fang Yuan let out a sigh as a green hurricane appeared around him which covered him. 3 streaks of sword pillars flew towards the sky, trapping Wu Zhiqi in it.
The power of ice, fire and thunder appeared. Together, they compressed inwards.
"Chi! Chi!"
In a huge explosion, the sword array disintegrated. The 3 magical swords appeared and glittered with spiritual light. They were flying with their own will and gathered their spiritual auras by themselves, increasing their power by 100 times before striking towards Wu Zhiqi.
"Chi!"
Under such an attack, even Wu Zhiqi's impenetrable body started to sustain injuries and open wounds.
"Magical soldiers? A dream soldier master?"
Wu Zhiqi roared as it swung its monkey claws out. "Die!"
"Bang!"
A streak of water lightning appeared, striking towards where Fang Yuan stood.
However, Fang Yuan was being carried by the green hurricane and rose towards the sky.
"Master!"
The 3 other magical swords could feel a sense of danger as they quickly flew back to protect Fang Yuan.
"This demon is extremely powerful! If I don't use my 4 Emblems Sword Array, I might not be able to take it down!"
Fang Yuan waved his hands and the 3 Talents Sword Array appeared once more. His eyes glistened.
The 4 Emblems Sword Array would infuse the power of water, fire, wind and thunder and its power would be intensified. However, among the dream masters, there was only one family of dream masters who were capable of such an array. If he were to use it, he would leak his heritage and this might cause trouble for him. Of course, he wouldn't sacrifice himself for someone else.
"Actually, with the strengthening of the 3 Talents Sword Array due to the swords having their own spirituality, it is already comparable to the power of a dream master in the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage!"
Fang Yuan had decided to conceal his final move.
Xia Qi did not suspect anything. He was pleasantly surprised that this newly advanced 4th Tier Illusionary Divine stage dream master could have such a combat power.
"Alright! Let's do this together to take down Wu Zhiqi!"
The Earth Witch roared and the earth around them shook. "Also, let's conveniently seal up this traitor as well, haha... I shall let a lady like you remain trapped in this ugly monkey for hundreds to thousands of years! This is even better than killing you!"
If the soul were to die here, the true spirit of the dream master would return to Da Qian. However, there is the existence of a sealing technique. If successful, one's true spirit could be sealed in the realm and the dream master's body in Da Qian would become a vegetable.
"You... you've angered me!"
Facing this threat, Wu Zhiqi remained calm.
"Since both of you are courting death, I shall help you!"
As it waved its hands, two steaks of spiritual aura, black and white, flew out. They spun around each other, forming the shape of a Tai Chi.
"Buzz!"
The image of the Tai Chi started to expand outwards. In a few moments, it had expanded over a hundred miles and continued to expand into the earth and above the skies.
"Eh?"
Fang Yuan shuddered in fear as though something bad was about to happen.
"Ah... This is a Heavenly Spiritual Image. It can separate us from our real bodies while dream-traversing!"
Xia Qi started to scream and appeared panicky. He was no longer the calm man he once was. "Be careful! If we die within this image, it will be a real death for us! Our True Spirit will remain here! This is Sage's treasure. Why is it with you?"
"A seal?"
Fang Yuan's eyebrows twitched as he seemed to have understood something. "We have segregated from our bodies? Does this mean that there's no running away?"
"Yes, this Image is extremely valuable and normal dream masters in the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage would not be allowed to hold it. However, this is given to me by the Sage, so naturally, I will have it!"
Wu Zhiqi laughed, "Although you 5 Grand Organisations are in control, do you think my head will sit around and do nothing? We have made many arrangements and are using all the treasures that we have. We will have a fierce fight with you dream masters from the Realm Alliance!"
She sounded much calmer as though the two of them were already dead, and revealed a piece of classified information.
At this point in time, Xia Qi turned pale.
His prediction that there was only one powerful being in the Ancient Realm was wrong!
"Do you know why I am revealing so much? This is because with the Heavenly Spiritual Image separating everything, the both of you can no longer bring out any information with you. Furthermore, today, the both of you will die here!"
Wu Zhiqi exclaimed as it tore both its arms. Blood flowed out from the arms, forming a specific print of a rune. "Heavenly Demon Body Destruction, One Single Blow!"
"Rumble!"
A huge force erupted, sealing the skies and earth around them.
"Is this... the power of a dream master in the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage?"
Fang Yuan appeared confused. "How is this possible?"
"This must be the print left behind by the head of the Hidden Dragon Guards many years ago... Although it has been over a hundred years, his possessed body managed to keep it active. Gathering energy from all around, this is equivalent to the strike of a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master!"
Xia Qi exclaimed. "I understand now! This possessed body was not planned to be used for long, but it was prepared to self-destruct at the moment of sealing!!!"
This was, in fact, accumulating all the power that it once had to deliver one final blow, achieving the intensity similar to that of a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master!
Although it was only a single blow, if properly planned, it was a significant thing.
"Both of you deserve to die!"
Wu Zhiqi continued to roar. Initially, it should not have used this single blow here. However, since it was discovered, it had to eradicate these two dream masters, even though the dream master controlling Wu Zhiqi would have to face punishment later on.
'This was actually for King Xi. To use it on the both of you is wasting it...'
Fang Yuan's eyes glistened as he gritted his teeth. 'The alliance would not care about all these. If we die, then we would lose everything!'
With that thought, the green hurricane around him thickened and a green magical sword appeared from it. "Master!"
"The 4 spirits of the 4 swords, form the 4 Emblems Sword Array! Go!"
As the power of water, fire, wind and thunder combined, a mysterious change was happening. The sword array started to shrink around Fang Yuan, keeping him in the centre.
Beside him, Xia Qi roared as well, covering himself with layers and layers of soil.
Just as the both of them had completed their defence, a green-coloured sun exploded.
"Rumble!"
Waves crashed about and the earth shook. The green sun started to spread outwards. The defence which Xia Qi had created with his witchcraft cultivation quickly disappeared.
Furthermore, even the clouds in the sky were being punched through by the expanding green sun, revealing a clear sky behind.
Water started to evaporate into steam, forming a white mushroom cloud.
After a long while, everything started to slowly settle down.
Wu Zhiqi stood on the water surface. Suddenly, cracks started to appear on its face. Like a spider web, it slowly spread around.
"Splash!"
With that, the huge demon body started to crack and fell into the water.
A white flash appeared nearby, revealing a Yin Spirit which quickly flew into the body of a white fox.
"It's dead? To think about it... who can withstand such power? It's a pity that this possessed body is wasted... However, it's worth it that I managed to kill 2 dream masters in the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage..."
The white fox mumbled to itself as it looked towards where the both of them originally stood.
It was empty there, as though everything which Xia Qi had created was evaporated by the explosion. Satisfied, the fox giggled to itself. "Hehe... Nobody asked the both of you to look for me. You're seeking your own deaths!"
"Is that so?"
"Chi! Chi!"
The ground exploded, revealing a sword array. From it came Fang Yuan's voice.
"How is this possible?"
The white fox was stunned. "How can you survive that blow! It's impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible in this world!"
Fang Yuan waved his hands as the 4 Emblems Array expanded, trapping the white fox within it.
Initially, Fang Yuan had doubts about his decision. 'The 4 Emblems Sword Array did not disappoint me. Of course, I can feel that that immense force is really powerful. However, without an owner to control it, it can only achieve the power of a 6th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master. Close to the 7th Tier, but it is ultimately not! This difference is the difference between life and death!'
"Water, fire, wind and thunder? The 4 Emblems... This sword array is much more powerful than what an average dream soldier master can harness. Where have I seen this before?"
The white fox started to grow suspicious. As it saw Fang Yuan approaching, it started to shudder in fear. "I am a member of the Imperial Court and I have a very powerful backing!"
"That's right..."
Fang Yuan laughed sneakily. What a pity... This place is already sealed by your Heavenly Spiritual Image. Xia Qi's death is undoubtedly real... What about yours?"
The white fox froze.
Never would she have thought that her killer move to seal the both of them here would trap herself!
