King of Creation-Chapter 698 - 689: Killing Move of the Seventh Realm Expert in the Vein Forging Realm
Chapter 698: Chapter 689: Killing Move of the Seventh Realm Expert in the Vein Forging Realm
Roar!
Ye Zhen was startled awake from his deep concentration in the Divine Soul Techniques as the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten let out a warning growl. It had been almost two hours since he started to eliminate the negative effects brought by using the Soul Searching Technique, and he had managed to clear up about ninety percent of them.
"Someone’s coming?"
With a thought, Ye Zhen immediately saw through the clouds above via the eyes of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten and spotted a stream of light speeding toward them.
"Kitten, come back!"
Given the speed of the flying light, the cultivation of the approaching person wasn’t very high—it might even be lower than Ye Zhen’s. It was possible that they were just passing by.
Regardless, Ye Zhen still cautiously called the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten down and then took it back into his arms.
Facing an opponent from the Vein Forging Realm, the Upper-grade Earth Level Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was in great danger. Therefore, Ye Zhen would promptly take Kitten back into his arms during any combat to avoid any accidents.
"Meow!"
The kitten meowed sadly as it shrank its body to snuggle into Ye Zhen’s embrace. With its early attainment of spirit nature, it understood why Ye Zhen did this, but still—it dearly craved battle!
Ye Zhen didn’t say much but simply patted the head of the Cloud Winged Tiger King gently, and it obediently crawled inside his embrace.
Ye Zhen slightly turned his head, assessing the approaching stream of light from the corner of his eye, not wanting to escalate the situation.
"It must be someone just passing by..."
As the thought arose, Ye Zhen’s pupils suddenly constricted. As the streak of light neared, he could now clearly see the face of the martial artist approaching.
The face was somewhat unfamiliar, but to Ye Zhen, it felt as though it was branded in his brain.
"Is this the second part of Zhu Ling’s plan?" Smirking at the face imprinted deep in his mind, Ye Zhen mused.
This was no one else but Lul Xiao of Profound Moon Sect, whom Ye Zhen had a bloody battle with when he first arrived in the True Spirit Domain along with Guz Bufan from Soul Chasing Arrow Valley. Both had left a very deep impression on Ye Zhen.
In an instant, Ye Zhen mostly understood what Zhu Ling’s second phase to deal with him entailed!
"Haha, Ye Zhen, you really are here!" Almost simultaneously, the elated Lul Xiao rushed forward, but his expression changed in a flash!
"Your cultivation? Vein Forging First Stage? How is this possible?"
The aura of cultivation that Ye Zhen emitted completely stunned Lul Xiao.
Two years ago, when he and Guz Bufan encountered Ye Zhen in the Secret Realm of Demon Souls, Ye Zhen’s cultivation was only at the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, while his was way up at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm.
The gap in cultivation between the two spanned one Grand Realm and five minor realms.
Over these two years, Lul Xiao had practiced day and night, advancing his cultivation from the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm to the Peak of the same realm. Then, after successfully establishing his Veins, a year of hard work skyrocketed his cultivation to the Peak of Vein Forging First Stage.
He was currently preparing to temper his second Divine Power Martial Vein, with heavenly materials and earthly treasures nearly ready. He should breakthrough to the Second Stage of Vein Forging in a few months’ time.
This was the result of his two years of cultivation, easily ranking him among the top in the Profound Moon Sect.
Yet, what shocked him was that the cultivation aura currently emitted by Ye Zhen indicated he was already at the late stage of the Vein First Stage, almost matching his current level.
It was normal for others within the Profound Moon Sect to share his level of cultivation.
But the issue was, two years ago, Ye Zhen’s cultivation was merely at the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm while his was at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm. But now, Ye Zhen’s cultivation seemed almost equal to his!
Instinctively, Lul Xiao rubbed his eyes, feeling as though he was seeing things!
In two years, he had elevated his cultivation from the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm to the Peak of Vein Forging Realm, already a pace considered genius-level.
Yet now, Ye Zhen had elevated from the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm to the late First Stage of the Vein Forging Realm within just two years—what kind of cultivation speed was that?
A monster?
"What’s impossible? Lul Xiao, you still don’t know my true cultivation level, do you?" As Ye Zhen spoke coldly, his Divine Sense spread out in all directions.
Almost at the same time he spoke, the aura hidden by the Hidden Meridian Art that Ye Zhen used fully dispersed!
In an instant, Lul Xiao’s eyes widened in shock!
"Vein Forging Second Stage!"
"Or is it the Peak of Vein Forging Second Stage?"
"How is this possible? This can’t be possible..."
Whiz!
Lul Xiao’s response came with a sound of a dull yellow radiance tearing through the sky.
In the very moment Lul Xiao was overcome with shock, the Low Grade Spirit Artifact, Great Momentum Hammer, had already flown from Ye Zhen’s hand, carrying an immense force as it thundered down directly at Lul Xiao’s head.
Ye Zhen had timed his strike perfectly, seizing the moment of Lul Xiao’s amazement. Just as Lul Xiao started to react, the Great Momentum Hammer had already smashed down upon his head.
Of course, even if Ye Zhen hadn’t taken advantage of Lul Xiao’s shock to strike and had attacked openly, Lul Xiao would not have been a match for him; he would have merely struggled in vain.
But given the current urgent situation, Ye Zhen had to deal with each enemy quickly before a large number of them arrived!
In fact, the moment Lul Xiao appeared, Ye Zhen had already understood what interconnected traps Zhu Ling had set.
Being in charge of the intelligence department of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Zhu Ling knowing about the grudge between him and the disciples of the Profound Moon Sect, Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan, was not at all surprising.
When Ye Zhen arrived, he had glanced at the map. Black Beard Mountain was approximately 20,000 miles away from the location of the Profound Moon Sect, considered within the sect’s sphere of influence.
However, Black Beard Mountain didn’t have any particular mineral veins around it, so no disciples of the Profound Moon Sect were stationed there. Due to this, Ye Zhen didn’t pay it much mind, as long as he was careful to avoid a direct encounter with the sect’s disciples.
Now it seemed that the sealed purple Jade Talisman that Hou Ba had sent before his Soul was Searched was indeed intended for the Profound Moon Sect. Otherwise, Guz Bufan would not have found Ye Zhen so quickly.
Since that piece of purple Jade Talisman was sent to the Profound Moon Sect, and Guz Bufan, along with his four fellow disciples, had not managed to subdue Ye Zhen back then and were instead killed by Ye Zhen, it was impossible that only Guz Bufan would come to hunt Ye Zhen down this time.
It was very likely that Guz Bufan was just the vanguard scout team, so behind him, the main forces would soon follow.
Therefore, at the moment he confronted Guz Bufan, after uttering just one sentence, Ye Zhen showed no mercy and immediately attacked fiercely. Ye Zhen had to eliminate Guz Bufan in the shortest time possible, then adapt his actions accordingly!
Looking at the mountain-like yellow spiritual light that thundered down above his head, Guz Bufan was utterly dumbfounded!
"A Low Grade Spirit Artifact?"
"No... this is the energy fluctuation from a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact..."
Instantly, Guz Bufan felt despair, "Master, sa..." As his body’s Spirit Light burst wildly in a bid to instinctively save himself, he bellowed!
However, his piercing scream had just begun when it was enveloped by the yellow glow from the Great Momentum Hammer.
The moment when the terrifying power of the Great Momentum Hammer smashed Guz Bufan’s skull, a thought, or rather, a realization flashed through his mind—that he and Ye Zhen were simply not on the same level.
Not before, not now, and as for the future...
Excruciating pain overwhelmed him, and as Guz Bufan’s consciousness completely dissipated, he faintly heard an extremely angry roar.
"Xiao Bufan..."
This was the voice of his master, Yub Daqian, but it was already too late...
"Xiao Bufan..."
Yub Daqian looked at Guz Bufan turning into scattered pieces of flesh, and completely lost his mind, his voice shrilling into a thin line.
He and Guz Bufan had split up to search for Ye Zhen’s tracks, with Guz Bufan even providing Yub Daqian a portrait of Ye Zhen. While Ye Zhen hadn’t been found, Yub Daqian felt an extremely terrifying wave of Spiritual Power.
By the time he arrived as quickly as he could, he saw the scene of his apprentice Guz Bufan being smashed by Ye Zhen’s Great Momentum Hammer.
When Ye Zhen was only at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, he could defeat a Martial Artist of the Four-Stages in Vein Forging Realm with the Great Momentum Hammer. Now that his Cultivation had soared, a direct smash annihilating Guz Bufan, who was just at the First Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, was nothing out of the ordinary.
When Yub Daqian rushed over, he only caught Guz Bufan’s two legs, the only intact part left of him.
"You dare kill my disciple!"
Yub Daqian violently turned his head, his blood-shot eyes glaring as he roared this sentence at Ye Zhen, almost pausing at every word!
"Boy, you are doomed. Today, I must dismember you into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in my heart!"
Almost as soon as the words were out of his mouth, Yub Daqian threw away the remnants of Guz Bufan’s legs.
"Ocean Dragon-capturing Hand!"
Amidst the roaring, Yub Daqian’s Spiritual Power flashed to the extreme, and his hands, like dragon claws, continuously reached out. In the sky, one after another, blue Hand Seals emitting faint sounds of Dragon Roar enveloped Ye Zhen from all directions.
Wherever each Dragon Claw passed, the air was directly compressed, emitting terrifying sounds.
"Seventh Stage of the Vein Forging Realm!"
When Yub Daqian’s Cultivation aura fully burst forth, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Seventh Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, peak of the Seventh Stage.
He was very likely just a step away from being an Establishment King.
The moment all his Spiritual Power burst forth, the pervasive aura gave Ye Zhen a pressure that vaguely carried a hint of the unique aura of an Establishment King!
Whoosh!
The golden Sword Light of the Heart Sword flashed through the night sky like lightning, and simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense almost branded itself onto the Purple Spirit residing in the First Sword Vein, enhancing the power of the Heart Sword to the ultimate!
Boom!
One of the blue Dragon Claws was bisected by the Heart Sword Sword Light, being directly dispersed, but Ye Zhen’s Heart Sword Sword Light also collapsed at this!
In a matter of ten breaths, Ye Zhen frenziedly unleashed over a hundred streaks of Heart Sword Sword Light. The frequency of this attack was simply unmanageable by the Great Momentum Hammer.
The fully unleashed Yub Daqian, at the Seventh Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, was terrifyingly powerful!
Ye Zhen estimated that if it weren’t for his Sword Heart Enlightenment, which allowed him to understand all changes in the battlefield, and the enhancement by Purple Spirit, he might not even need Yub Daqian to change the battlefield; the Ocean Dragon-capturing Hand alone could have directly annihilated him!
Watching Ye Zhen withstand his hundred Ocean Dragon-capturing Hand strikes without any harm, Yub Daqian’s furious expression suddenly calmed.
The Ocean Dragon-capturing Hand was his signature Killing Move. It wasn’t just Martial Artists at the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, even typical Martial Artists at the Sixth Stage hardly could handle his hundred strikes off the Ocean Dragon-capturing Hand so effortlessly. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"It seems you do have some skills!"
"But today, you still can’t escape death!"
Yub Daqian sneered, his movements suddenly changed from lightning-fast to slow as a turtle. The extremely sharp aura around him abruptly turned immensely profound, even more substantial than the aura of the Great Momentum Hammer!
