Chapter 1484: Heavenly Regret Staff
The Dark Skysealing Crest was not an ordinary saint-grade technique. Rather, it was a great saint technique comparable with incomplete god-grade techniques. Thus, the attack carried the might to seal the heaven and earth, to dominate the world.
Thick battle intent flickered in Xiang Shaoyun's eyes as he roared, "This is far from enough to defeat me. Show your trump card!" By the time he finished his words, he had thrown out a black palm. The black palm collided against the crest, creating a massive explosion.
Xiang Shaoyun planned to use whatever energy his opponent used for this challenge. Making use of this challenge, he would deepen his mastery over the different profundities he had comprehended and comprehend the profundity of primal chaos as quickly as he could. Only then could he start comprehending the profundity of primal inception and complete his dao.
Sun Doukong displayed enough strength to prove himself worthy of being the True Martial Academy's previous eldest senior brother. He was a peak seventh-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator, but he could demonstrate enough strength to match a Great Saint. Yan Lie was nothing compared to him.
Because Xiang Shaoyun wanted to see what these geniuses were capable of, he had decided not to use all his strength. Suppressing a portion of his strength, he engaged Sun Doukong in an intense battle.
Only a few seconds had passed, yet the two had exchanged no fewer than 1,000 moves. Powerful stray attacks flew in all directions. Fortunately, the ring was made of god-grade materials, and a barrier surrounded it, preventing the damage caused by the battle from spreading too far away. The audience opened their eyes wide as they watched the fight, but only a few could get a clear look at the fight.
A Darkdevil Sect's Great Saint sighed and said, "The young are truly commendable."
Even those from the older generations felt shame upon witnessing the battle between Xiang Shaoyun and Sun Doukong.
"Is this all you have?" said Xiang Shaoyun. He was becoming more and more bored the longer the battle progressed.
If his master saw this battle, his master would probably say that he was wasting his time by yet again dragging out a battle. As far as his master was concerned, a battle should be ended as soon as possible. Although Xiang Shaoyun's fight with Sun Doukong had not lasted too long, Sun Doukong wasn't exactly so strong that he would feel pressure. He was sure that Sun Doukong still had a trump card, but he no longer wanted the battle to drag on.
"Haha, with your cultivation level, you probably can't maintain your current strength for long. I only need to drag this out for a bit longer, and you will have no choice but to surrender," said Sun Doukong as he roared with laughter.
Evidently, he intended to compete with Xiang Shaoyun in endurance instead of using his trump card.
"Is that so?" Xiang Shaoyun smiled coldly as he increased his speed, instantly unleashing 81 palm attacks.
Spectral Earth Shatterer!
Xiang Shaoyun had killed many Saints and had gathered a large number of saint-grade techniques. The Spectral Earth Shatterer was one of the palm techniques he had collected. With his Light of Wisdom, he could easily memorize and cultivate a technique.
Each of the 81 palms carried a massive strength behind it, and they attacked Sun Doukong from 81 different directions. Sun Doukong had not expected that Xiang Shaoyun could still increase his speed. He was caught by complete surprise. Eventually, his energy barrier shattered, and he was sent flying.
"I'll give you one last chance to use your trump card," said Xiang Shaoyun, not taking the chance to push on.
Sun Doukong shook his body, shaking off the dark energy Xiang Shaoyun had blasted his body with. Then, he roared with laughter and said, "Seems like there really is a reason behind your reputation. I finally believe that you're capable of killing Great Saints. Unfortunately, you're still not my match."
He slowly pulled out the staff hanging on his back and said, "This is a great saint weapon, the Heavenly Regret Staff. It is 18,000 catties in weight and will be the weapon I used to defeat you."
He brandished the staff , unleashing a mysterious power from it, and swung it at Xiang Shaoyun.
Nine Heavenly Regret Staff: first staff, Moving the Heaven and Earth!
With one staff, heaven and earth would move, all living beings would perish!
The attack gave Xiang Shaoyun a sensation that the attack was unavoidable. Not only was the attack powerful, but it could also its target. This attack alone could break countless techniques.
What a powerful staff technique. Even the staff intent has reached an extremely high level. With all his focus and energy concentrated on the staff, he is already starting to reach the level where the great dao is simplified, thought Xiang Shaoyun.
Once again, Xiang Shaoyun attacked with the Spectral Earth Shatterer technique, sending out 365 palms at the same time. All the palms imposed upon each other before heavily colliding against the staff.
The staffdescended like a mountain, while the palm rose with the might to hack open the sky. As the two attacks collided, even the laws of nature seemed to twist, shocking all the onlookers. Xiang Shaoyun blocked the first attack, but the second attack came immediately.
Nine Heavenly Regret Staff: second staff, Primal Return!
The second staff was even more terrifying than the first staff. Nine staves were manifested, but they all merged into one right before reaching Xiang Shaoyun, increasing the attack's might by nine times. Even a Great Saint would die in the face of this attack.
A few of the geniuses assumed solemn expressions. They could see that they wouldn't be able to black this attack. Even Xiang Shaoyun was finally feeling some pressure. He pushed his dark energy and the profundity of darkness to their limits, shrouding his palm in a certain intent as a specter appeared behind him. A terrifying palm was unleashed, colliding against the second staff.
One ought to admit that after forming the Primal Inception Physique, Xiang Shaoyun had gained the ability to fight those above his cultivation level even when using only one energy. After all, the primal inception energy could be transformed into different energies, and his astral cosmos sea was something reforged from his nine stars.
In other words, whichever energy he used, he could unleash a might equivalent to someone with nine stars of one element. Or, to be precise, he could unleash a might equivalent to someone with ten stars of one element, as the astral cosmos sea itself had transformed into a star before it fused with the nine shattered stars. In fact, Xiang Shaoyun could already store as much energy in his astral cosmos sea as a pseudo-God expert. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun was able to block Sun Doukong's attack even when using only dark energy.
"Well done. Take my third staff. If you can block this staff as well, I'll surrender," said Sun Doukong. He had not expected Xiang Shaoyun to be so strong. He even had a feeling that Xiang Shaoyun wasn't even trying his best. Thus, he decided to use his final trump card and end the battle once and for all.
Nine Heavenly Regret Staff: seventh staff, Inverting the Heaven and Earth!
