The scene changed over to that of the other side a few
minutes ago. Zheng and Julian confronted each other. Although Julian had
already sealed off Zheng’s three most important senses in battle amongst the
five senses, he still seemed unwilling to get nearer to Zheng. Because although
it was only just Zheng standing there quietly, his power was already sufficient
to make Julian unwilling to face it. Even with the protection of the sheath,
facing Zheng was simply too dangerous.
(His strength and speed have already reached the limits of
an ordinary organism’s body. Assuming he was that traitor Cultivator of team
Celestial that would still be slightly better. But he’s not. To reach this
level relying only on the body is truly… unimaginable.)
Julian stood at his original position rubbing his injuries.
He shook his head, laughing bitterly, before pondering inwardly again.
(I made the same mistake as Lionheart. I underestimated the power of team China’s leader. Although I still haven’t used the
Arayashiki
,
it’s still unknown if it can have any use against someone who overcame the
heart’s devil. I definitely can’t let any other members of team China come over
at this time, or else I can only flee…)
Julian immediately laughed bitterly again. Originally, he
had wanted to let the other members of team China rush over. But based on the
current situation, they wouldn’t rush over to be killed, but instead surround
him. That situation definitely couldn’t be permitted to happen. Also, Lionheart
on the other side seemed to have absorbed the power of two of team China. To
avoid him continuing to become even more powerful, Julian had no choice but to
change his original objective and planned to use psyche force to draw the
remaining members of team China over to Lionheart.
To send a made-up situation, especially through the method
of a psyche force scan to send it to the remaining people, was of course of no
difficulty to Julian with his high level of psyche force. After easily sending
out the fake scene, he then lured Honglu and the rest to where Lionheart was.
It was just that they were very far from where the pair of Wangxia was, and
they would be late by several minutes even if they rushed over...
When this was done, Julian finally put all his focus on
Zheng. Until now, this man was quietly standing there, as if he was a normal
person who had lost his sight, touch and hearing. No, strictly speaking apart
from his calmness being unlike normal people, all other aspects seemed to be
like a normal person, and he just stood there unmoving.
(Something’s wrong. He’s too overly quiet… Whatever the case
he’s still Zheng Zha. Was he so easily made useless with his three senses
sealed? I have some uneasiness in my heart…)
Julian inhaled deeply. He slowly walked towards Zheng,
walking straight until he reached about twenty metres from him before stopping.
Julian then waved his hand, and that middle-aged Caucasian walked towards Zheng
without even thinking about it. At the same time that sheath in his hand
released a faint white light.
That middle-aged Caucasian walked until he was ten metres
away from Zheng. But just as he was about to take another step, a pressure that
was dangerous to the utmost directly attacked. Zheng who was originally
standing there quietly abruptly turned around to face him. It could only be
seen that Zheng lightly kicked out. An invisible wind blade sliced towards that
middle-aged Caucasian. This was Zheng’s ‘Rankyaku’ of the six styles. Although
its strength wasn’t considered to be too great, its attack speed was first
rate.
Before the middle-aged Caucasian had recovered from his
shock, that wind blade had already sliced at the white light surrounding half a
metre around his body. This white light had real toughness and durability. Even
though it collided with the white light all of a sudden, the white light
actually didn’t seem to be exhausted in the slightest, and that middle-aged
Caucasian had been knocked back over ten metres by the force of the wind blade.
Even though the white light had blocked the might of the wind blade, it
couldn’t completely offset the force of that strike. It was clear that the
power of that wind blade was very great.
(He can sense it? Why? Without sight or hearing, he simply
shouldn’t be able to see or hear anything in his surroundings. Similarly, even
his sense of touch has been sealed. He can’t even feel the flow of the wind…
the sixth sense? Even though the higher the genetic constraint unlocked, the
higher the chances of the triggering of instincts and the sixth sense, those
two feelings aren’t standard sensory organs. There’s an element of luck to
them. He can’t just suddenly explode when you get ten metres near him. That
attack just now definitely had had energy being stored for very long. Unless
there’s internal sensory organs? Psyche force scanning?)
Julian wasn’t a boor. Upon seeing that Zheng had
preparations, he didn’t intend to immediately attack. In any case his Ring of
Heaven’s Treasure could seal the senses for at least over ten minutes. Even if
Zheng broke out of the sealing, he would at least not be in any danger. With
Avalon, the Everdistant Utopia, he could be at ease as he fearlessly searched
for an opportunity to completely defeat Zheng.
(It’s not psyche force. I can’t sense any leaking of his
psyche force. But that’s of course. No matter how strong he is, first of all
he’s not a psyche force user. Secondly, he didn’t go to the deep layers of the
consciousness while overcoming the heart’s devil, so of course he can’t use
psyche force to fight… In that case, it seems that his battle style has always
been to use his body? It’s just that when a body is strong to a certain level,
they no longer belong to those who use energy to battle. (Note: This seems
contextually wrong, or am I misinterpreting this sentence? Considering the next
sentence as well, shouldn’t it be that people of a certain body strength use energy
to battle?) That’s right. Simply relying on the stamina stored in the body
isn’t enough to sustain that intensive consumption of his. He definitely has
energy enhancements, only that I don’t know whether it’s only Blood Energy…)
Julian thought about it. Then he directly picked up a piece
of metal block of rubble the size of a hand from the ground. He casually threw
it at Zheng. That metal block suffered an attack when it was ten metres from
Zheng. All that could be seen was him suddenly turning around, and his fist
punching out. The speed of the fist was difficult to catch with the naked eye,
and the wind from the punch easily reduced the metal block to dust, and all the
metal fragments were all sent flying at Julian.
Julian stood at his position unmoving. He allowed the white
light to flash past and block the attack. Only then did he slightly frown. He
had actually placed a psyche force imprint on the metal block just now. This
psyche force imprint was also a type of energy, formed from psyche force. It
was an ability he used specially to test out the energy enhancements of others.
And in the test just now, he had indeed discovered the existence of a strange
energy around Zheng. The most important part was that it possessed a strong
energy corrosion property. Within an instant, his psyche force imprint had
actually become completely corroded. It seemed that Zheng was indeed relying on
this energy to sense his surroundings.
Zheng was indeed using energy to sense his surroundings.
This was an ability he had discovered in the past. For example, when Qi and
Blood Energy were released outside of the body, they could be used to scan the
surroundings. It was only that the energy had the characteristics of
dissipating faster the further it was from the body. Even with the energy
storage mithril rings, he couldn’t squander energy this way. Thus, after he
made a few tests, he changed the energy source of this type of technique to
Refined Qi and Magic.
Refined Qi and Magic were the products of the condensation
of Qi and Blood Energy. Once these two energies were formed, it usually
wouldn’t dissipate by itself unless it was used up completely or depleted
completely. It was the same even if it left the body, as if the energy had
condensed into matter. Otherwise, the Refined Qi and Magic on cultivation
treasures couldn’t have lasted the passage of countless years intact.
Zheng himself didn’t have any Cultivation techniques or
Magic techniques. He was also unable to use these two powerful energies as the
foundational energies for battle. In accordance with the principles of making
use of wasted materials, after several tests he discover of method of usage.
The purpose was only to use it as an energy probe.
(It’s truly lucky. I
just wanted to test it for fun at that time. I didn’t expect it would actually
save my life at this time.…)
Zheng secretly considered nonstop. After being deprived of
the three senses, the most important senses to him as a combatant were
completely gone. The remaining taste and smell were basically unrelated to
battle for him. At the very least he hadn’t learnt to rely on on his taste to
distinguish and seek out his opponents. In this situation, although it was only
a bit of Magic spread out over an area of ten metres, this was more than enough
for him.
“It’s really unimaginable. This ability to seal the five
senses is actually this scary…”
Zheng silently sighed. He then appeared within an instant
not far from where Julian was. He punched out with several fists that couldn’t
be caught with the naked eye. Although the white light of the sheath blocked
the destructive power of these punches, but the force of the punches still sent
Julian flying far off, crashing to the ground over ten metres away. But Zheng
didn’t even pause, vanishing in a flash again. However, the direction he headed
in was wrong this time, and he directly crashed into a wall over ten metres
away from Julian, actually leaving a human shaped impression in the wall.
Julian was flabbergasted seeing this. Only when Zheng came
out from that wall and stand at his original position in a daze as if nothing
had happened did he bitterly laugh.
(I understand, he’s completely guessing. He’ll use an
extreme speed to charge towards whatever direction an attack comes from. Using
the sensing of the surrounding ten metres around him, he’ll then attack anyone
in that area. Although his attacks can’t break open the defense of the sheath,
being pushed away by his force still hurts…)
After he laughed bitterly for a long while, Julian still
couldn't come up with any methods. This Zheng Zha was even more terrifying than
a tortoise with thorns on it. He couldn’t be beaten and couldn’t be hit. In
short, he felt difficult to deal with. If he had known earlier on it would be
like this, he should have had long since exchanged for a sci-fi weapon. After
he turned Zheng blind and deaf, he could directly attack him from a distance
using the sci-fi weapon.
(There’s no choice. It’s time to use the
Arayashiki
!)
Julian’s expression became serious. He suddenly opened his
eyes completely. In the instant he opened his eyes, the originally quiet and
unmoving Zheng suddenly turned towards his direction. Although there was no
attack yet, Zheng’s entire attention was focused towards that direction.
“Noticed it? Although it’s not being used yet, you can still feel this pressure, right? That’s right, this is my final trump card,
Arayashiki
. It’s also known as the Six Paths of Samsara. This is power I obtained
from entering deep into the depths of the heart and the consciousness after
using the ‘Shaka’ enhancement that I exchanged…” Julian laughed coldly. At the
same time, he charged towards Zheng, snapping his finger.
The fingers let out a sound, and at the same time, Zheng felt
the Qi and Blood Energy in his body rumble and churn. Zheng almost couldn’t
prevent his energy from going berserk. Even then he received some small
internal injuries, and a small amount of blood leaked out of a corner of his
lips.
(That’s right, this is… Light of the Soul!)
Light of the Soul, telekinesis, force of the soul, A.T.
Field. These terms all referred to the same thing, where one would comprehend a
certain power after unlocking the fourth stage of the genetic constraint and
overcoming the heart’s devil. For example, Zheng’s Light of the Soul was the
Dragon Transformation. Although it was the change of a material body, this
was how his Light of the Soul manifested itself. Another example, the Light of
the Soul of Zhao Yingkong’s main personality was energy absorption. That black
light could cut open energy. And there was also that psyche force user Zheng
saw in Zhao Yingkong’s memories, Zhao Ruikong. Her Light of the Soul was
hypnotism of a deep layer of the consciousness.
The so-called
Arayashiki
by that Julian before him was an ability of that type. Not only could it hypnotise and control living organisms, it could also hypnotise and control the genes, thus causing the collapse and destruction of the human body. This was an overbearing and terrifying power. If one hadn’t unlocked the fourth stage of the genetic constraint or above, it could be said that there was basically nothing one could do to counterattack. Of course, the price to possess this kind of Light of the Soul was also very great. Apart from being a psyche force user, one also had to completely sink to the deepest depths of the consciousness and transform into a devil there...
“I didn’t think… you’ll actually have this level of
strength.”
Zheng exhaled. He then suddenly roared, and his genetic
constraint began to unlock at high speed. It rose nonstop from the second stage
of the genetic constraint. When it reached the fourth stage, Julian’s
expression finally changed. Zheng seemed to not care. He continued to unlock
the genetic constraint, and finally… the mid fourth stage of the genetic
constraint! The product of his Light of the Soul, the Dragon Transformation
appeared!
With a crash, that pair of dragon wings of Zheng’s abruptly
spread out, tearing his clothes to shreds. At the same time, his figure and
appearance continuously changed. By the final change, Julian had long since
retreated a hundred metres away. It wasn’t that he was scared, but that the
mighty pressure around Zheng at that moment was too extreme. Staying next to
Zheng was like having Mt.Tai bearing down.
“You’re too dangerous. This level of strength isn’t suitable
to appear in the real world. I originally thought you only knew how to do some
sealing of the senses and some simple hypnotism. But you actually can use this
move… You’re too dangerous for my comrades. I can’t let you get near them. I
need to get rid of you here… We’ll cancel the bet from before. I’m giving up on
the plans to use you…”
Julian laughed coldly. He was confident of not being killed with the protection of the ‘Everdistant Utopia’. He thus wasn’t worried of dying at this point, only using his consciousness to speak, “You’re aware of the existence of the
Arayashiki
? This is an ability that I can’t completely control at my current rank. But did you know the edge it gives me is already extremely obvious? I also call the
Arayashiki
a seed. I bury the psyche force imprint of the
Arayashiki
into a person’s consciousness. Before long that person’s consciousness will be completely eroded by my seed. That person will then become my puppet, like this sheath user… Perhaps you don’t know? I have already implanted seeds into your comrade’s consciousness. Only yours is too strong. Those who’ve overcome the heart’s devil really aren’t ordinary. But I just need to defeat you, and I’ll take over your comrades from you… That’s right. Perhaps your clone has the complete
Arayashiki
. Otherwise, how could
even ‘God’ be unable to repair them? One day, I’ll reach that level as well
hahaha…”
Zheng ignored him, and suddenly changed the Magic outside
his body into the shape of a long whip. It transformed from an area of ten
metres to a long whip extending to a hundred metres. Then with him as the
centre it begun to revolve. The first to be touched by this whip was the middle-aged
Caucasian standing not far off. After feeling where the middle-aged Caucasian
was, Zheng suddenly rushed towards that direction, kicking him right in the
chest and sending that middle-aged Caucasian over a hundred metres away.
When Zheng kicked that middle-aged Caucasian, that white
light flashed past as before, and completely offset the destructive power of
that kick. But it couldn’t dispel the force, and that middle-aged Caucasian
still flew over a hundred metres away before standing up safe and sound.
Julian laughed coldly upon seeing this, before saying, “Apart from the attack of the
Arayashiki
you know of, there’s another attacking method. A pity that I definitely won’t use this move on myself…” Finished speaking, he snapped his fingers again.
When the snapping sounded, all the muscles on that middle-aged
Caucasian suddenly started to swell violently. Those muscles seemed to have a
life of their own as it wriggled nonstop, and actually tore themselves out of
the body within a short time, chaotically moving nonstop as if they were
tentacles. The man’s body also swelled, only stopping when it reached three
metres tall. The person combined with those tentacle like muscles looked
disgusting and terrifying. The only curious thing was that despite this
person’s muscles and skin having already been torn to this extent, he had yet
to bleed, as if his body had already been like this originally.
Zheng actually hadn’t seen all this. In the instant his
magic whip came into contact with the middle-aged Caucasian, he rushed over
again. This time when he punched out, the destructive power of his fists was
still offset by that white light. The middle-aged Caucasian only faintly shook
this time and didn’t even retreat in the slightest. Then, multiple thick
muscles coiled up, violently lashing out at Zheng.
There was a loud slapping sound, and those strips of muscle
were blocked by Zheng’s arm. Although Zheng didn’t even shake, the steel floor
beneath their feet was torn open. The enormous force could only flow into the
ground from their legs. At this time Zheng singlehandedly held those strips of
meat. That white light suddenly appeared, making it such that he couldn’t
damage those strips of muscles no matter how he pinched.
Julian laughed coldly. “Don’t try any longer, you’re just a
sandbag now. Only we can hit you. You simply cannot hurt us…”
Just as these words fell, a giant crimson blade suddenly
appeared in Zheng’s hand. When the Magic surrounding Zheng’s body suddenly
gathered, in the next second, that thick band of muscles were evenly cut off,
and that white light… seemed to be unable to block the Tiger’s Soul that had
gathered Magic!
