Chapter 813 Black Flame and Garuda

Is this Garudas trademark move, Myriad Fists?

What a powerful phantom. Its more than twice as big as it was in the last champions.h.i.+p. Its aura is also nearly as strong as a bona fide Ancient Saint.

Wait, this cant be Garudas self-developed Myriad Fists! Shouldnt it only be at the Gold Holy Art standard? This phantoms aura can already rival that of Ancient Saints. It should be at the Advanced Gold Holy Art standard at the very least.

Many spectators who had watched Garuda in the last Continental Champions.h.i.+p were shocked when they saw the 1,000-meter-tall phantom. It was especially so for those from the Holy Race. This was because the phantom Garuda summoned last time didnt even reach 500 meters. They hadnt expected Garuda to improve so much since the last champions.h.i.+p.

There was a huge disparity between Basic and Advanced Gold Holy Arts. Among the Holy Races royal powers, players who could grasp Basic Gold Holy Arts would only be treated as a chosen one and nothing more. However, for players who could grasp Advanced Gold Holy Arts, the various royal powers would treat them as future Guild Leaders.

As for players who could develop their own Advanced Gold Holy Art, not even the Holy Races royal powers would dare to think of having any such players.

Learning someone elses technique and developing ones own technique might ultimately lead to one learning a technique, but there was a qualitative difference between the two processes. When one learned another persons technique, one could, at most, execute it normally. However, when executing a self-developed technique, in addition to being able to execute it normally, one could also reduce ones Stamina and Concentration expenditure to a great extent.

Given an expert who could only use an Advanced Gold Holy Art two or three times and an expert who could use it over a dozen times, the result of a clash between the two was obvious. In fact, it wouldnt even be strange if an expert who managed to develop their own Advanced Gold Holy Art could simultaneously fight two or three experts who had only learned another persons Advanced Gold Holy Art.

While the other spectators were shocked by Garudas self-developed Advanced Gold Holy Art, Phoenix Flame looked at Elise in astonishment.

Your Highness, did you say he is a Half-step Mortal G.o.d? When Phoenix Flame overheard Elises mutterings, she couldnt help but doubt her ears.

Yes. He has indeed reached

that

step already, Elise said solemnly.

Hes actually reached it ahead of you? Could he have acquired a Legacy superior to the Sixth G.o.ddess Tablet? Phoenix Flame couldnt help but turn to look at Garudas figure on the screen in shock.

As Elises close confidant and student, Phoenix Flame knew what it meant to be a Half-step Mortal G.o.d.

It was a term used to refer to players close to becoming a sixth-floor expert, also known as a Mortal G.o.d. To be considered a Half-step Mortal G.o.d, players would need to fulfill two requirements: develop their own Advanced Gold-ranked technique and raise their Concentration to the Tier 6 Limit standard.

In reality, once players reached the standard of a Half-step Mortal G.o.d, their ascension into a Mortal G.o.d was virtually guaranteed. All they needed to do was have their Concentration undergo metamorphosis to be able to apply Manifold Execution.

However, unlike Ink Crystal, whose background was shrouded in mystery, Garuda had partic.i.p.ated in the previous Continental Champions.h.i.+p. Hence, there was detailed information available on him.

In the last champions.h.i.+p, Garudas Concentration standard was the same as Elises; both were at the Tier 6 Advanced standard. Even the Holy Art he developed barely reached the Gold standard and was nowhere near the Advanced Gold standard.

Although Elise managed to advance her Concentration to the Tier 6 Limit standard before the current Continental Champions.h.i.+p, she only managed it because of the Sixth G.o.ddess Tablet. Phoenix Flame found it hard to imagine Garuda could achieve such rapid growth in his Concentration without the Sixth G.o.ddess Tablet. She also doubted he could get his hands on a Legacy similar to the Sixth G.o.ddess Tablet. After all, the G.o.ddess of s.p.a.ce was a first-cla.s.s existence, even among Primordial G.o.ds. Obtaining the Legacy of such an existence would not be an easy task.

Not to mention, Garuda had improved his self-developed Holy Art to the Advanced Gold standard in such a short period. Compared to his Concentration development, this was an even more incredible accomplishment.

Its not out of the question. Dont forget that he got to enter the Crucibles central area as the former champion, Elise said calmly.

Phoenix Flame agreed with Elises explanation. Across the entire Eternal Realm, the Crucible of the Ancients was currently the only known location that could potentially have Primordial G.o.d Legacies. So, it was entirely plausible for Garuda to acquire a Legacy surpa.s.sing that of the G.o.ddess of s.p.a.ce in the Crucibles central area.

While Phoenix Flame was feeling upset that she wouldnt get to access the Legacies in the Crucibles central area once again, Gentle Snows group of five suddenly appeared outside the ring. Evidently, all five of them were killed by Garuda. Moreover, they didnt even manage to waste Garudas Concentration and Stamina, let alone buy time for s.h.i.+ Feng to meet up with them.

Dammit! Is he a monster?

When Verdant Rainbow saw Garudas calm expression on the screen, she couldnt help but feel vexed.

After sensing the presence of Garudas giant, s.h.i.+ Feng swiftly moved to regroup with them and was currently already within 1,000 yards of their location. They could have fought Garuda as a full party had they managed to buy themselves even a few seconds. Yet, despite having a five-on-one advantage, they failed to survive even one move against Garuda.

In only an instant, Garudas phantom had thrown a hundred punches, each stronger than the third strike of Gentle Snows Fleeting Thunderclap. As a result, Gentle Snow only managed to block three punches before she died, while everyone else turned into ashes without blocking a single punch

Fools! Just because you defeated a couple of ordinary chosen ones of the Holy Race, you think you can win against the Divine Fist Party? Against Lord Garuda?

When Extreme Feather saw the ugly expressions on Verdant Rainbows group, her depressed mood vanished. Her beautiful eyes even started to sparkle when she saw s.h.i.+ Feng stepping into the same hall as Garuda.

Even if you defeated me, what can you do against Lord Garuda?

A Half-step Mortal G.o.d!

This was the Divine Fist Partys greatest trump card to win the Continental Champions.h.i.+p this time. Garudas strength had already reached a realm the average chosen one could not hope to reach.

Inside the maze

You are the only one left. You are quite strong, seeing as you managed to eliminate Extreme Feather and the others, Garuda said calmly as he watched s.h.i.+ Feng enter the hall from an entrance different from Verdant Rainbows group. But this is as far as your party can advance.

After saying so, Garuda materialized his phantom once more and bombarded s.h.i.+ Feng with a hundred punches.

A Half-step Mortal G.o.d?

s.h.i.+ Feng was momentarily stunned when he saw the phantom attacking him. However, his instincts kicked in, and he promptly cast his Pseudo-G.o.ddess Law Projection before executing Swords...o...b..t.
