Chapter 1407: A Four-Sided Battle
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage stood in the void. His chest was bloodied and one could see his internal organs from the giant wound.
The flesh and blood near his chest twitched and jumped. They wanted to heal but their progress was slow.
With that one grab, Shi Tianhao brimmed with a vast primordial, chaotic power. This allowed space and time to freeze. All creations could no longer form and the power of life could no longer come together. Even a powerful demon like the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, whose physical strength reigned supreme, found it hard to heal his wounds.
He stared coldly at Shi Tianhao. His body swayed slightly as the center of gravity was firmly on his left leg.
His right leg, which had been struck by Shi Tianhao’s Two Elements Origins-Returning Hammer, was slightly numb. Afterward, to avoid Shi Tianhao’s Final Holy Light, he used all his strength to leap into the sky. Hence, this caused his already-injured right leg to feel even more paralyzed.
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage fully understood his own body. He could clearly feel that the bones in his right leg trembled viciously and uncontrollably. The blood vessels at the place where Shi Tianhao had hit were completely busted. The layer of skin over that area was very fragile.
Shi Tianhao looked up at the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage. The wounds on his back were extremely severe and there were two indents on his head. If not for his Immemorial Golden Body, which he activated the moment the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage attacked, his head could have been pierced open by the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.
His right hand, which had clashed against his foe’s right leg, felt numb and sluggish too.
However, at this moment, a ray of Holy Light, which appeared slightly different from the Final Holy Light, shot out from Shi Tianhao’s forehead. In it, one could sense the profound secrets of the change of all creations.
This light caused countless more rays of light and diagrams to appear. Together, they took the form of auspicious clouds that enveloped Shi Tianhao’s body.
At that moment, the wounds on Shi Tianhao’s head and back started to recover.
It was not simple healing, or an attempt to turn back time. However, at that moment, it caused his body to return to its most perfect stage.
Any change that happened would result in his body returning to its original state.
The two dents in Shi Tianhao’s head disappeared quickly too. It was as if he had never been attacked by the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.
However, the terrifying wound on his back still had remnant demonic aura. This caused it to heal at a much slower pace, but still shockingly fast.
The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage did not just sit by and look. Instead, he roared and with all his strength, he attacked Shi Tianhao once more!
He had heard about the powers of Shi Tianhao’s Final Holy Light. When the two sides were battling, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage had prepared for it. Hence, this caused him to rush without hesitation at Shi Tianhao. He sought to slow his recovery and force him to continue his attack.
He was already injured by the Heaven-Opening Sword. Now, with his wounds, if Shi Tianhao recovered completely, the situation would not be in his favor.
Shi Tianhao laughed and the Origin Holy Light disappeared. Then, the Final Holy Light shot out in retaliation against the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.
As the two sides clashed, the entire heaven and earth trembled.
As they traded blows, two humongous figures appeared omnipresent. Yet, no one could tell exactly where they were.
Thundering noises began to reverberate. One could hear both Shi Tianhao and the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.
The battle scene before everyone was not just between a human and a demon. Instead, it was like a brawl between two primordial beasts that caused the very heaven and earth to quake.
Even Gu Jun, Xin Longsheng, the Tiangang Swordmaster and Shi Xingyun were dazed by this scene.
This type of scenes had not appeared for many years. It only happened in the Primordial Age, with the rise of Mankind as they battled furiously against the demons.
The Shen Dragon King, who had been trapped by Gu Jun and the Longevity Lotus Seat, now roared as he burst forth from the sea of white lotuses.
Golden light shone off the body of the Shen Dragon King. In those rays of light, one could see waves of aura gurgling.
The earth-yellow aura wave was as vast as the earth. This was the special ability of the Yellow Dragons. They were able to change it into Central Wutu aura.
The wave that surged forth was a special ability of the Sea Dragons. By controlling the essence of the sea, they were able to dominate the ocean.
As grass and wood came to life, a ray of emerald expanded in the sky. This was an ability of the Yellow Dragons too. It changed and then brimmed with earthly life.
A sea of fire turned into a limitless inferno. Red firelight tore up the area around them. This was the special ability of the Fire Dragon Tribe. It controlled the tyrannical force of dragon fire as it incinerated all around it.
Black light continually flashed and condensed. However, at the edges of the black light, one could see the eye-dazzling white light that was as sharp as a sword. This was the special ability of the Bastille Black Dragons. Modified, it could be razor-sharp as it contained the essence of metal.
The five elemental auras continually took shape. Then, they turned into a powerful and vast destructive force. Destroying lotus after lotus, they helped the Shen Dragon King break free from the sea of flowers.
You would see me as the flowers bloomed. At this moment, Gu Jun and the Longevity Lotus Seat appeared before the Shen Dragon King.
However, the Shen Dragon King did not attack Gu Jun. Instead, he targeted Shi Xingyun!
Gu Jun’s expression did not change. His left hand performed spell gestures rapidly and he extended the index finger of his right hand. Gently, he tapped the Longevity Lotus Seat underneath him.
The Longevity Lotus Seat flew open. 18 flower petals turned into 18 balls of light and then, a straight line. Together, they attacked the Shen Dragon King.
In the golden light that surrounded the Shen Dragon King, many different powerful principles appeared. Together, they formed into a single spell. Other than the powers of the Fire Dragons, the Yellow Dragons, the Bastille Black Dragons, one could sense the power of the Ming Dragons and the Candle Dragons, which could move space and time respectively.
Quickly, he flew through the void and even though the Longevity Lotus Seat’s attack was inches away from him, he did not stop but continued straight on.
Then, Gu Jun performed countless spell gestures with his hand. He slammed his palms together and he conjured 18 balls of light that took the shape of a straight line. It seemed to have formed some odd formation as it shot expelled numerous rays of light.
Under the glow of the light, the Shen Dragon King’s movements slowed. Then, apparently unwillingly, he flew in the direction of the formation that was formed from the rays of light.
A cold look crossed his eyes. The Shen Dragon King was incensed.
In his Longevity Lotus Seat, the Gu Jun fought against the Shen Dragon King. On the ground, Xin Longsheng and the Tiangang Swordmaster battled against the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.
Everyone from Mount Shu, including the two, continued to maintain their sect’s formation. While the many peaks of Mount Shu had been destroyed, everyone was still determined. Sword Qi and sword will fused together and were then imposed on the Heaven-Opening Sword as they battled against the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.
While the Tiangang Swordmaster’s mastery was higher and his understanding of the Way of the Sword was deeper, the basis of his powers was still the Saintly Celestial Sword. Hence, he could not wield the Heaven-Opening Sword. Instead, he supported the sword formation as he channeled his sword will and sword Qi to Xin Longsheng.
Earlier, in his battle with the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, he had already been injured. This time, even with the Heaven-Opening Sword, he would not be able to perform his best against the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage. In that case, it was better to join forces with the rest.
Xin Longsheng’s face was as pale as paper. However, the hand in which he held the sword did not shake. Instead, he continued to wield the sharpness formed from the spiritual energy from all over. He appeared to have the weight of the world in his hand. However, he was still stable.
The Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage stared coldly at the two of them. He revealed his special ability and his gigantic form, which was almost as big as a mountain, suddenly appeared terribly ethereal.
When he wanted to attack the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the distance between him and his target was reduced to only inches. No matter how his opponent tried to run, they could not evade him. Even if they tried to distort space like him, they could not widen the distance.
However, if the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage wanted to dodge an attack, the distance between them would appear vast and insurmountable. No matter what his opponent tried to do, it was impossible to get close to him. The distance would instead widen even more.
Between heaven and earth, one could only see a jade-white mountain that was the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage dashing about. Fire-red footprints could be seen in the void as if they were something real.
The Heaven-Opening Sword, with its vast powers, flashed and changed in the void. Even though the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage’s powers were remarkable, they were unable to suppress the light from the Heaven-Opening Sword.
If the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage retreated, the Heaven-Opening Sword followed. While it was not as far as before, he still had to be wary.
If he tried to attack, the sword would advance and black him, preventing him from accomplishing anything.
The two sides were in a stalemate, but the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was not in a worry. He looked to his side.
There, Shi Xingyun was subject to a tempest of attack from the Earth Dragon King.
At this moment, the Earth Dragon King’s expression was cold. One could not see a fire of rage in his eyes but only a devastating coldness.
The blinking of his eyes resembled the revolution of the sun and moon in the sky. His mystical powers continually broke through Shi Xingyun’s defenses and everywhere the golden light from his body touched, the frozen space sprung back to life again.
His body pierced through the void non-stop. Then, he launched numerous frenetic attacks at Shi Xingyun, which became faster and faster.
At this moment, Shi Xingyun had already mastered her Immortal Dragon City body as well as portions of the Celestial Dragon Jin’s memories and experiences. Yet, she was not a Vipralopa Stage cultivator and under the barrage of attacks from the Earth Dragon King, she was rapidly losing ground.
However, she was well-prepared and she responded to the attacks by remaining resolute and unchanging. She maintained her defenses and tried to cover her weakness with her strengths as she held her opponent off.
However, among the many battles that were raging, she was in the most disadvantageous position.
