Chapter 381: True Divine
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"Ka-baa-boom!"
The ground tremored and space shook.
In the centre of it was a total mayhem, two monsters could be seen brawling.
Fang Yuan and Cang Xuansheng both had shockingly strong defences and their attacks did not do much on each other. Thus, they only focused on attacking with their flurry of punches as though they were two not very skilled men with only brawns and no brain.
In actual fact, the unskilled appearances were just masking their intelligence. Each and every technique and attacks contained strength powerful enough to split a mountain. A normal human or even Wu Zongs at the 7th or 8th Meridian would become a pile of minced meat if they were hit.
"Bang!"
"Heavenly Eagle 13 Chain Strike!"
"Overbearing Sun Knife!"
After yet another round of injuries sustained on both of them, the two of them briskly moved apart and stood on their own.
Cang Xuansheng wiped off the blood on the corner of his mouth and looked at the more injured Fang Yuan and shook his head, "You lost! Although your body is strong, after all, you are not a True Divine. You are the one losing out fighting with me!"
"That's right!"
Opposite him, Fang Yuan's hair was dishevelled and his shirt was torn. There were even numerous wounds on his body.
Fang Yuan obviously knew the limits to his body.
Although he was already severely wounded, a manic expression appeared on his face as he retorted, "But I still have to thank you! If you did not fight, how would I have entered the 9th Meridian!"
Fang Yuan looked at his stats.
Beside the "Nine Transference Mystical Technique", the mist covering the brackets finally fully dispersed, the words "9th Meridian" could be clearly seen!
Behind Fang Yuan, a spiritual meridian was formed and quickly entered into his body.
With the support of this spiritual meridian, things were going well for Fang Yuan and some sort of change was occurring.
"9th Meridian Wu Zong?"
Cang Xuansheng frowned slightly. To him, even if Fang Yuan suddenly broke through, it was nothing to be afraid of.
However, the next moment, his eyeballs were popping as he stared.
He saw the blurry figure behind Fang Yuan condensed and fully seeped into his body.
Immediately, a savage and explosive aura could be felt from Fang Yuan's body. Not only that, the deep wounds on his body were miraculously being healed rapidly.
"Woong! Woong!"
Outside, astonishing amounts of heavenly elemental energy gathered and formed a gigantic vortex with five colours, red, yellow, green, white and blue. It was being continuously funnelled into Fang Yuan's body.
Fang Yuan's body was like a bottomless pit that kept sucking in the unlimited supply of elemental energy.
"This is... the phenomenon of a True Divine?"
Cang Xuansheng composed himself and muttered, "You actually broke through two stages at once! After forming the 9th Meridian, you broke through the bottleneck and forged your Divine Body directly!"
As Cang Xuansheng was a True Divine that successfully forged his Divine Body too, he of course knew how difficult such a bottleneck was and how much resources it required.
However, unknowingly, a feeling of danger emerged in his mind immediately.
His intuitions as a martial artist made Cang Xuansheng knew that Fang Yuan would be successful if he broke through this time.
"I cannot let him succeed!"
Cang Xuansheng hollered and a red coloured sun appeared in the skies. Streaks of golden coloured light fell from the skies and gathered on his hands, "Golden Sun Knife, kill!"
"Swoosh!"
A knife was formed and with a strike of the knife, the knife flared brightly as though it harnessed the flames of the entire world's suns!
Cang Xuansheng exhausted all his strength to launch that knife!
Once the Golden Sun Knife was launched, the surroundings dimmed at once as the blazing knife condensed and turned into a thin line of light that shot towards the eye of the vortex where Fang Yuan was.
"Too late!"
Fang Yuan snorted and took a deep breath akin to a vortex that sucked in all the five coloured elemental energy in the surroundings. The golden metal light glowed on his body and turned into a jade-like shine. A few kinds of glow sparkled simultaneously from his body before merging together, forming a greenish purple colour.
"Tccc! Tccccc!"
He reached out his right hand and grabbed the knife's light with ease, the beam of light was like an earthworm that kept wriggling and giving out sparks. However, it was useless against Fang Yuan.
With slightly more strength, the knife's light was annihilated at once.
Even as the power of the sun exploded, it did not affect Fang Yuan's body at all.
"This martial art body of mine is built from the foundation of the Ultimate Witch Body and combined the powers of my Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique and Hundred Poison Golden Body! I call it Pangu Eagle Body!!!"
In front of Fang Yuan, his stats window shined brightly as it changed:
"Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 100
Spirit: 100
Magic: 61
Profession: Dream Soldier Master
Cultivation: Illusionary Divine (4th Tier), True Divine
Technique: [Pangu Eagle Body (? ? ?)], [8 Gates Sword Array (5th Sword) (10%)]
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)], [Fiery Golden Eyes (Level 1)]"
"Strength!"
Fang Yuan clenched his fist and felt the surging elemental force in his body and his body's limitless strength. He had an enlightenment, "Powerful beings are called as such because either one of their essence, spirit or magic stat had reached 100 or above. Perhaps it was unique for dream masters as they were skilled in powerful magical abilities..."
"Both my essence and spirit have reached 100 which means that I am a True Divine! For Prominent Divine dream master, their magic must be 100 or above!"
Of course, Fang Yuan's breakthrough was a double stats breakthrough. He was much more superior than Cang Xuansheng who only had a single stat breakthrough in spirit.
"Pangu Eagle Body?!"
Cang Xuansheng face turned extremely solemn as he looked at the muddled glow on Fang Yuan's body, "I have been devoted in martial arts and I know each and every martial arts technique in the world. Inside Da Qian's ranks of martial arts Divine Bodies, there isn't even such a kind of Divine Body! I can't believe you actually self-created such technique and broke through to True Divine! What a lunatic!"
Of course, if one became psychotic while cultivating and hence died, he would be like a lunatic.
But now, since Fang Yuan succeeded, he was a grandmaster that created his own path!
Winners were crowned while losers were vilified, it was that simple!
"Speaking of which... I can only breakthrough this time all thanks to your provocation!"
Fang Yuan felt all his injuries on his bodied had recovered and his power had surpassed his peak to reach a new height. He brandished his smile at Cang Xuansheng, revealing his sparkling white teeth, "In return, I will make you the first one to die from my newly acquired martial art prowess!"
"Shameless!"
Cang Xuansheng felt a dangerous omen but revealed a wry smile on his face.
To Cang Xuansheng, although he was inferior to Fang Yuan, it was not difficult for him to escape.
However, the next moment, Cang Xuansheng's expression totally changed.
This was because Fang Yuan was already throwing a punch in front of him.
"Bang!"
The True Divine body combined with Fang Yuan's originally strong body brought about breakthroughs in both his essence and spirit which was not as simple as one plus one.
"Boom!!!"
With just one punch, Cang Xuansheng's entire body was thrown back and sounds of bones cracking could be heard.
"Impossible... how could he be so brutally strong!" Cang Xuansheng thought.
Cang Xuansheng's mind was in disarray, only one thought kept appearing in his mind, "How could my Xuan Wu Divine Body be so weak..."
Such a powerful punch caused blood to well in his eyes which subsequently flowed down his cheeks.
If he could see from his eyes, he would have seen an extremely tall, well-built and muscular Pangu Giant appearing from the purple image behind Fang Yuan. The giant was at least ten times larger than Cang Xuansheng's Xuan Wu figure. As the giant looked from high above, it brought about the powers akin to heaven being formed and earth being created. Its might was overpowering.
In front of Fang Yuan, Cang Xuansheng's figure was no different from a toddler.
"Nevermind... anyway, I have already killed many talented dream masters, that's enough..."
Under immense pain, blood spewed out from Cang Xuansheng's mouth and nose. However, his lips curled into a sinister smile as he thought, "I have no regrets in life being able to witness such martial arts before I die! In this world, martial arts would bound to prosper and flourish!"
Moments later, he saw Fang Yuan's perfect Divine Body pounce towards him. He let out a blood-curdling shriek before he died...
"A True Divine has just been beaten to death by me?"
Fang Yuan kept his bloodied fists and breathed slowly to pacify his boiling blood and elemental force.
"I have finally entered the echelons of powerful beings! Though as the most inferior one, martial arts powerful being..."
True Divine martial artist, True Elemental spiritual knights and dream masters above the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine were the overlords of Da Qian Empire as they were extremely powerful.
At this point in time, Fang Yuan was not even 30 years old and he had already stepped into this overlord tier!
Fang Yuan heaved a sigh and waved his hands. The soils on two sides moved together and formed the shape of a tomb.
"Although you view me as your enemy, you are still a True Divine. I shall erect a tomb for you!"
Fang Yuan silently pondered before he turned around and left.
Once Fang Yuan's cultivation passed this limit, there were many things he could do.
The core of Sage Changli's inheritance could be analysed.
He could start seeking revenge for his master, Master Heartless.
Furthermore, he could protect himself from being others' cat's paw in the imminent war!
"Of course... what I need to do now is to take a good rest..."
Fang Yuan laughed unamusedly before he disappeared.
It was total silence in what was left of the battleground.
Moments later, two persons appeared. It was a scholar and an attractive lady.
"Meng Lian's spiritual aura was around this area!"
The middle-aged scholar's facial expression was very awful. He quickly scanned the surroundings and found the battleground where Cang Xuansheng fought in and also his daughter's corpse.
"D*mn it... Cang Xuansheng, I will kill you!"
As he saw the bloody hole on Meng Lian's forehead, the middle-aged men's blood boiled.
"Sigh... I guess all these dream masters have died!"
The accompanying lady was 30 something years old, which was the age where charisma of youth and maturity merged. As her beautiful eyes turned, she understood the big picture, "That Cang Xuansheng's target must have been Realm Alliance's Fang Yuan. I heard this guy is very talented and he even broke through numerous tiers of the Illusionary Divine stage in a row! He is really different from the rest!"
"Huh! No matter how talented a genius is, after such a genius dies, there's nothing worthy left..."
The middle-aged scholar snorted and his expression changed, "But, I heard he is not so simple, even if he is against Cang Xuansheng, he should still be able to sort of handle him... He should be around here, let's find him..."
Soon enough, as they followed the traces left behind by the battle, they saw the numerous large holes in the ground and the tomb.
"Cang Xuansheng... died?"
As the middle-aged men stared intently at the tombstone, he felt it was unbelievable.
"How could it be possible? Who could kill him?"
"I saw the battle, it should be two True Divine martial artist brawling and not any of our people..."
A grim look appeared on the lady's face as she continued, "I am afraid it's that Realm Alliance's Fang Yuan!"
"He... can kill a True Divine?"
The middle-aged scholar repeated himself, "Doesn't that mean, he is also a..."
"True Divine martial artist!!!"
The lady heaved a long sigh and her gaze turned gloomy.
