Chapter 1105: Jin Diyi’s Strength, All Preparations Are Done Translation
The Yokai Hall’s Crown Prince, Jin Diyi had declared his challenge against Chu Kuangren!
News about it spread like wildfire throughout the whole Planquilon Immortal World!
Every cultivator and orthodoxy was looking forward to the battle.
“Doesn’t he know how terrifying Chu Kuangren is? He had defeated all the previous Fated Ones effortlessly. Is Jin Diyi really strong enough to defeat Chu Kuangren?”
“I think it’ll take a miracle for that to happen.”
“That’s right. I think it’s going to be an impossible task.”
No great orthodoxy had high hopes for Jin Diyi.
It was because Chu Kuangren’s previous achievements were just so astonishing that it was becoming unbelievable.
He could even kill Heavenly Immortals!
With someone like him around, even the older generation of elite Heavenly Immortals would be wary around him, let alone the sky-prides of this generation.
However, Jin Diyi was now challenging a being like him?
No one believed that Jin Diyi could win.
After that, news soon spread from the Honorable Yokai Hall. It was the Yokai Hall Ruler’s words.
“The Crown Prince’s abilities have surpassed mine!”
Just those words alone put the whole world into a great uproar.
‘The Crown Prince’s abilities have surpassed mine?!’
‘The Yokai Hall Ruler is one of the older generation Heavenly Immortals. Although no one knows what cultivation level he is in, he’sat least a Third-grade Heavenly Immortal!’
‘He might even be in the Middle Third-grade Immortal Realm already!’
However, everyone was in disbelief to hear an older generation Heavenly Immortal saying that he was weaker than the Yokai Hall’s Crown Prince.
‘He’s trying to build support!’
Everyone instantly thought of that.
The Yokai Hall Ruler was building support for Jin Diyi!
After all, their battle had not even begun, yet the whole Planquilon Immortal World was already bad-mouthing them, which was not good for the Yokai Hall and their Crown Prince.
That was why the Yokai Hall Ruler was now building support for Jin Diyi!
At the very least, they could not lose support before the battle began!
“Tsk tsk, things are getting interesting now. I can’t believe the Yokai Ruler actually said that he’s not a match for Jin Diyi all because he wants to build support for his son.”
“Ha! This is outrageous.”
“That’s right. Is Jin Diyi really that powerful?”
“What a joke. Even if he’s going to build support for Jin Diyi, he should come up with a reason or proof of his strength at the very least, right? What do they hope to achieve by saying this? Do they expect everyone to just believe them like that?”
“Hehe. Two days from now, I shall go and test Jin Diyi’s strength.”
Everyone expressed their disbelief.
Some Earthen Immortals even wanted to go and verify Jin Diyi’s strength.
Somewhere near the Honorable Yokai Hall, by the side of a lake, Jin Diyi was sitting with his legs crossed, busy comprehending the five wills of the Immortal World inside him. However, several pairs of eyes were staring at him from afar.
They were hiding in the void using some advanced concealment technique. Even a peak Earthen Immortal would find it hard to detect their presence.
“Hehe, so that’s Jin Diyi? He does look formidable, but I wonder how powerful he can be?”
“Is he strong enough to challenge Chu Kuangren?”
“We shall attack in a while to test his strength.”
A few of them were discussing.
They were very confident in their abilities. Upon further investigation, they also learned that there was still enough distance from the Honorable Yokai Hall. Hence, it would be easy for them to retreat after they carried out their plan.
“Come out.”
Just then, Jin Diyi spoke.
The ones in the void looked at each other.
‘Has our presence been discovered?’
“I do not wish to repeat that,” Jin Diyi said indifferently, his cold gaze landing on the void nearby. It was the same direction where they were hiding.
Those cultivators finally confirmed that their presence had been exposed.
“Hehe. Strength aside, your perception is quite good.” The few of them slowly walked out from the void. The one leading was a Fifth-grade Earthen Immortal, who was already a very top-notched elite in Planquilon Immortal World.
“I understand that many are doubting my strength, so I don’t mind. I might as well prove my abilities by killing you,” Jin Diyi said indifferently.
As he slowly stood up, his aura increased. Soon, the void was trembling as his full cultivation level was revealed before everyone.
“This cultivation level… You’re a Fifth-grade Earthen Immortal!”
The leading Earthen Immortal’s expression changed.
Jin Diyi’s strength was now at the level of a Fifth-grade Earthen Immortal, which was the same as theirs. Only the older generation cultivators had that level of cultivation.
“No wonder he has the guts to challenge Chu Kuangren. Even the Blood Monk Disciple and Ming Zi were far below your level.”
“But how about your combat strength, I wonder?”
Although that Earthen Immortal was shocked, he did not panic. After all, he was also a Fifth-grade Earthen Immortal, the same level as Jin Diyi.
His figure immediately disappeared in a flash, darting towards Jin Diyi.
The others also attacked to test Jin Diyi’s strength.
“Fools,” Jin Diyi said indifferently, and a dazzling golden flame soon enveloped his body.
That was the Golden Crow Flame, the divine fire ranked third on the Divine Fire List, alongside the Phoenix’s Flame!
Just as those Earthen Immortals were approaching him, the Golden Crow Flame immediately spread out, landing on the nearest Earthen Immortals.
“Argh!”
Screams rang out one after another as three Earthen Immortals were burnt into a pile of charcoal. Seeing that, the remaining Fifth-grade Earthen Immortal’s expression changed. He quickly retreated while unleashing an Immortal Technique toward Jin Diyi.
“Hmph.” Jin Diyi grunted and stepped forth.
He did not dodge or evade but unleashed an Immortal Technique in the form of a punch that immediately shattered the incoming attack!
“Golden Crow Claw!”
Jin Diyi let out another attack.
He gestured a grab with his hand, turning his Golden Crow Flame into a gigantic claw!
“This is bad!”
The Fifth-grade Earthen Immortal became afraid. He could feel an incomparably terrifying might coming from that attack, causing even him to shudder!
“Block it!” The Fifth-grade Earthen Immortal summoned his full strength by channeling the surrounding earth qi to merge with his Immortal’s Core energy. A gigantic godly mountain then formed in front of him to block that incoming attack.
Following a loud boom, the flaming claw collided with the godly mountain.
The godly mountain burst open!
When that flaming claw landed on that Fifth Grade Earthen Immortal’s body, it blasted him into pieces, immediately ending his life!
Having seen everything unfold, the remaining Earthen Immortal was extremely horrified.
Jin Diyi had taken down those attacking Earthen Immortals one by one by Jin Diyi without an ounce of effort. His strength was far more terrifying than they thought!
“Do you know why you’re still alive?”
Jin Diyi looked at the sole surviving Earthen Immortal and said.
That Earthen Immortal suppressed his fear and shook his head. He did not escape because he knew it was pointless to do so.
“That’s because I want you to spread the news about how great I am. Go. Tell the world that I, Jin Diyi, am more powerful than Chu Kuangren!”
“U-Understood.” That Earthen Immortal nodded before he turned and left hastily.
He wanted to tell everyone that they were terribly mistaken!
Jin Diyi’s strength was far more terrifying than they expected!
Perhaps he could truly defeat Chu Kuangren!
He might defeat that undefeatable legend!
Beside the lake, the Yokai Hall Ruler, dressed in lavish golden robes, walked out from the woods nearby while looking at Jin Diyi, impressed. “My son, you truly have not disappointed me. It seems you have fully mastered the Golden Crow Flame.”
He had seen the whole fight earlier.
Although he declared that Jin Diyi was stronger than him, it was truly just an exaggeration to build support for him. However, Jin Diyi was indeed powerful. With his talents, it would only be some time before he surpassed the Yokai Hall Ruler.
“The Golden Crow Flame alone won’t be enough to defeat Chu Kuangren,” Jin Diyi said. Having been studying Chu Kuangren all that time, he knew it would be impossible to fight him using only the Golden Crow Flame.
“The preparations over at the Void Valley are completed,” said the Yokai Ruler.
“Alright. We shall proceed as planned then. All we have to do is wait for Chu Kuangren now.”
Jin Diyi nodded as he looked towards the academy with a glint in his eyes. “Chu Kuangren, I will certainly defeat you and step over your corpse to become the Heavenly Champion! I shall be the one to reach the pinnacle of strength!”
