King of Creation-Chapter 699 - 690 Timing

A tremendously solemn aura rose in an instant, and a blue glint of light suddenly flew out from Yub Daqian’s hand, then his hands moved as if he were stirring thousands of pounds of sand, requiring an immense effort to spin!

In a flash, a gigantic vortex of water covering an area of four to five square miles descended upon Ye Zhen’s head.

Whoosh!

Almost simultaneously, the Great Momentum Hammer in Ye Zhen’s hand burst forth with light and slammed directly into the massive water vortex!

"Dream on if you think you can kill me," Ye Zhen bellowed!

However, a hint of mockery flashed in Yub Daqian’s eyes.

"It is somewhat impressive that you can wield a Low Grade Spirit Artifact with the power of a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact! However, in front of me, such ability is utterly insignificant!

Not to mention, my Longxuan Palm Technique is the.... nemesis of your heavy and powerful Low Grade Spirit Artifacts!"

Boom!

Amid Yub Daqian’s cold snort, the blue water vortex in the sky collided with Ye Zhen’s Great Momentum Hammer.

The moment they collided, Ye Zhen’s expression shifted!

When the heavy and powerful Great Momentum Hammer struck the blue water vortex, it unexpectedly felt soft and flimsy.

What shocked Ye Zhen the most was that in the next instant, his heavy and powerful Great Momentum Hammer was swept into the massive blue water vortex.

Like a piece of wood floating in a river being sucked into a whirlpool, it became one with the swirling currents in an instant, not to mention striking or damaging the vortex.

Ye Zhen’s mighty Great Momentum Hammer was utterly powerless before Yub Daqian’s Longxuan Palm Technique!

In the next moment, Ye Zhen’s complexion turned terribly pale as he could no longer command the Low Grade Spirit Artifact Great Momentum Hammer caught in the Longxuan Palm Technique.

If he could not overcome Yub Daqian today, his Low Grade Spirit Artifact Great Momentum Hammer, which he had just obtained a little over half a year ago, might change owners.

Ye Zhen’s expression turned to shock as he once again realized the wonders of the martial arts in this world. Various martial skills counteracted and complemented each other. His previously invincible Great Momentum Hammer was utterly powerless before the Longxuan Palm Technique.

His Great Momentum Hammer was completely overcome by the Longxuan Palm Technique!

"Die now!"

With a cold huff, the Longxuan Palm Technique that had just swallowed the Great Momentum Hammer pressed down like lightning, and with a gentle spin of Yub Daqian’s hands, a terrifying pressure bore down directly on Ye Zhen’s head.

In that instant, Ye Zhen’s Purple Jade Battle Armor flashed brilliantly to the extreme, and at the same time, his fingertips shimmered with light as he unleashed nearly all of the attacks he could muster against the Longxuan Palm Technique that was bearing down on him.

Heart Sword, Floating Cloud Finger, Shattered Jade Seal, all met the Longxuan Palm Technique head-on, but before the massive vortex, all of Ye Zhen’s attacks were twisted into nothingness by the mighty force of the vortex!

Worse still, the Longxuan Palm Technique controlled by Yub Daqian could enlarge or shrink and moved quickly. Ye Zhen tried to break away several times, darting left and right, but could not escape the attack range of the Longxuan Palm Technique.

After several attempts to charge left and right, the Longxuan Palm Technique pressed Ye Zhen from the sky to the ground, and it seemed poised to envelop his head completely.

One could imagine that the moment the Longxuan Palm Technique covered Ye Zhen’s head, it would grind him into mincemeat, a fate potentially even worse than Lul Xiao’s.

"Hmph, boy, you can die along with my disciple!" Just as the huge vortex was about to cover Ye Zhen, Yub Daqian roared again.

Amidst the roar, Yub Daqian’s stature sank, and with a flick of his hands, the Longxuan Palm Technique sank with them, slightly expanding the extent of the vortex.

"I should have captured this boy alive first, then after retrieving the Demon Cloud Fruit, dismember him to avenge Xiao..." Yub Daqian had already made his calculations.

The increased size of the Longxuan Palm Technique’s vortex was meant to capture Ye Zhen alive.

In Yub Daqian’s view, capturing Ye Zhen alive under his Longxuan Palm Technique was a matter of ease.

But as the Longxuan Palm Technique descended, Yub Daqian’s expression suddenly changed.

The Longxuan Palm Technique didn’t capture Ye Zhen at all!

With his Divine Sense furiously pushing, Yub Daqian’s Longxuan Palm Technique plunged down, making direct contact with the ground—under such circumstances, there was no possibility for Ye Zhen to dodge.

However, in the next moment, Yub Daqian’s expression turned to utter shock!

The Longxuan Palm Technique contracted slightly, and shockingly, there was no one beneath it!

There was no one!

He vanished into thin air!!!

"How... how is this possible?"

Staring at the empty ground, Yub Daqian was dumbfounded, and he was certain that there had been not the slightest disturbance nearby, Ye Zhen had not escaped.

So where had the man gone?

"Damn it all!"

With an angry hum, Yub Daqian, somewhat disbelieving, pressed the Longxuan Palm Technique directly into the ground, and in an instant, under the horrifying force of the vortex, a conical pit several square miles wide and dozens of meters deep was carved into the earth.

Dirt and dust rose everywhere, and for a time, the sky was filled with debris!

At the same time, Yub Daqian’s tremendous Divine Soul Power spread out like a tidal wave, a small portion diffusing in all directions probing for any possible movement.

The majority of his Divine Soul Power burrowed into the ground. Ye Zhen had vanished without a trace under his Longxuan Palm Technique.

Yub Daqian thought it over and over, and the only direction for Ye Zhen’s disappearance was underground—even though it was virtually impossible, not even a King at the Establishment Realm had the ability to escape through the earth.

But with the world full of inconceivable Divine Power Secret Techniques, Yub Daqian still searched the ground with a mindset of trying.

However, exploring with Divine Soul Power underground is very different from exploring in the void—it faces immense resistance!

In the void, his Divine Soul Power could cover a range of six to seven miles, but once his Divine Sense entered ten meters below the ground, it became extremely sluggish.

For every meter he delved deeper, he had to expend a great deal of Divine Soul Power, and ultimately, his Divine Sense could only search back and forth within a range of about ten meters underground.

Although Yub Daqian’s Divine Sense could reach as far as twenty meters underground at most, the speed at which his Divine Soul Power was consumed would skyrocket to a terrifying level in that state.

Even he, a powerhouse at the peak of the Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm, couldn’t sustain it!

So, where had Ye Zhen gone?

Without a doubt, he had naturally employed the recently acquired technique of ’Earth Escape’ to burrow into the ground.

Originally, Ye Zhen had planned to consume another Supreme Treasure Artifact to mobilize the power of the Purple Spirit to shatter the barrage of the Longxuan Palm Technique and save his life.

However, compared to invoking the power of the Purple Spirit, Earth Escape was more convenient!

Almost as soon as he directed his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen appeared more than thirty meters underground.

Underground, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense sank into the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Goldback Stone Beast King, with his Divine Soul Power extending along with the Earth Spiritual Power around him. Immediately, he had a clear grasp of his surroundings.

Ye Zhen even detected the Divine Soul Power of Yub Daqian, who was still exploring around ten meters underground.

He could even see Yub Daqian’s enraged and baffled expression on the ground above through the Divine Soul Power attached to the Earth Spiritual Power in the air.

Clearly, he would never believe that Ye Zhen could just disappear right under his nose.

But Ye Zhen seemed to have vanished from the world, no matter how hard Yub Daqian searched, he couldn’t find a trace of him.

"Ye Zhen, get out here!"

"Even if you hide at the ends of the earth, I will find you and tear you to pieces!"

While cursing in fury, Yub Daqian exerted his full force to activate his Divine Soul Power, inch by inch searching the surrounding land and air.

At the same time, vast swaths of azure Spiritual Power Waves erupted from Yub Daqian’s palms, sweeping through the vast expanse of the void before finally dissipating in the air.

This was another search method Yub Daqian employed, just in case Ye Zhen could hide any Qi signature in the air.

More than thirty meters underground, Ye Zhen watched Yub Daqian’s frenzied search while his mind pondered on methods to defeat Yub Daqian.

This was the first time Ye Zhen faced the Longxuan Palm Technique, a Divine Power Martial Skill that used softness to overcome hardness, and he was extremely passive. Now that he thought about it, it was due to his lack of experience and some panic in the face of his enemy.

Back in the Black Dragon Domain, while reading through the training notes left by the predecessors of the Qiyun Sect, Ye Zhen had seen analyses of Martial Skill characteristics, including those similar to the Longxuan Palm Technique.

Such Martial Skills excelled in using softness to overcome hardness and were relentless and tough to deal with. However, these Martial Skills all had a point of force initiation, an original point of force initiation.

If one could find this original point of force initiation, it would be possible to break it with a single hit.

Of course, it also depended on one’s Cultivation; even if you found the original point of force initiation, it would be futile if your Cultivation wasn’t high enough!

But finding this original point of force initiation wasn’t easy either, and in Ye Zhen’s sense of Sword Heart Enlightenment, the very heart of the Longxuan Palm Technique seemed to hold another mystery.

But now, Ye Zhen no longer cared about that.

Having burrowed underground through Earth Escape, Ye Zhen had already gained the greatest natural advantage!

What Ye Zhen needed now was to find the best opportunity to strike!

Above ground, Yub Daqian was still frantically searching for any possible traces.

It wasn’t just about avenging his disciple Lul Xiao, but also about the potential existence of the Demon Cloud Fruit.

Each time the Ancient Demon God Temple appeared in the years preceding it, the Demon Cloud Fruit wielded an unparalleled attraction to the warriors of the Vein Forging Realm.

But no matter how strong the attraction was, it couldn’t help if no traces could be found.

Yub Daqian had nearly exhausted all his skills, thoroughly combing through every inch of the space within a ten-mile radius, yet he had not found a whisper of Ye Zhen!

"Get out here, I said get out, get out now!"

Yub Daqian, like a madman, unleashed one Ocean Dragon-capturing Hand after another, and after a fruitless search for half an hour, he completely lost his temper.

For a time, the surrounding Spiritual Power fluctuated, and the booming sounds were earth-shattering.

After a long while!

Yub Daqian collected himself with a somewhat dejected air, transforming the area within ten miles into an unrecognizable mess. After such a search, and still not finding a trace of Ye Zhen, he estimated that Ye Zhen had likely escaped far away using some kind of Secret Technique.

"It seems I can only try one last strategy. If this kid really used some Secret Technique to hide nearby, then he’ll definitely come out after I leave for a while, right?"

As an old fox who had been cunning for many years, Yub Daqian wasn’t one to give up easily. Next, it would be a test of patience; of course, he had to leave for a considerable distance and for a long enough time to force Ye Zhen, potentially hiding nearby, to emerge.

If not, then it would simply be a waste of a few days or even a bit longer of his time, which was no big deal!

Having made up his mind, Yub Daqian prepared to leave. But before that, Yub Daqian’s gaze shifted to the earthy yellow Low Grade Spirit Artifact Great Momentum Hammer that had fallen to the ground.

Even for him, a warrior at the Seventh Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, a Low Grade Spirit Artifact was still an extremely precious treasure.

Moving swiftly, Yub Daqian approached the fallen Low Grade Spirit Artifact Great Momentum Hammer, then bent over to pick it up.

Hisss!

Just as Yub Daqian bent over, a fiercely sharp golden Sword Gang, mixed with soil, burst out from beneath the ground between his legs!(To be continued.
