novelFlipping Night and Day
| ← Ch.0889 | Ch.0891 → |
A blazing sun shone in the sky above as Xiao Chen stood below. When the light filled the entire Dragon Wood Star, that earlier uncomfortable feeling immediately vanished from the heart.
"It is turning day?"
"This Xiao Chen is using his will to illuminate the sky. How vast and deep are his Heavenly Sage Laws?"
"I understand now. Xiao Chen wants to flip night and day around to suppress the power of the stars to its weakest. After all, the Ketu Rahu Chop has the Nine Heavens Astral Arts as its foundation. The weakening would definitely affect the move."
"However, this light nearly lit up the entire Dragon Wood Star. This is too great an expenditure. Isn't Xiao Chen afraid of dying from exhaustion?"
The blazing sun was very glaring. When the night suddenly turned into day, many people could not adjust to it. They squinted, shocked at Xiao Chen's big move.
By raising a hand, Xiao Chen flipped night and day. How many could be so bold as to use their own will to illuminate an entire star?
Xiao Chen waved his arm and directly swept aside the two blood swords flying over. They started dancing around chaotically in the air. A blood sword struck an unlucky and careless Corpse Race cultivator.
Before that Corpse Race cultivator could even scream miserably, this Corpse Race cultivator became a dried husk. This fate looked very horrifying. This Ketu Rahu Chop was too vicious.
Under the bright light, the mysterious phenomenon of the Falling Snow Drifting Song; Zither and Flute in Concert weakened until it was blurry.
The starlight vanished, and the sound of the zither and flute became like a slow dirge.
The scholarly, white-faced Long Fei's expression changed slightly. He had not expected Xiao Chen to use such a tyrannical method to suppress his Nine Heavens Astral Arts and defuse his Ketu Rahu Chop.
"How arrogant! You think you can really flip night and day with the flip of your hand? Nine glorious star lords with boundless divine power, heed my will and pierce through the heavens!" Long Fei shouted ferociously.
He formed hand seals, and the starlight behind him turned into crystalline stars. These nine star lords represented the Ketu Star, Rahu Star, Everlasting Star, Flaming Star, Azure Wood Star, Heavenly Water Star, Void Earth Star, Storm Star, and Drifting Snow Star.
These stars were all born at the same time as the Kunlun Realm. They were famous stars that were equal to the sun and the moon, not outdone by them. Quite a lot of Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques that used the power of the stars or moved stars placed these stars in a position of veneration.
This Nine Heavens Astral Arts was one of those Cultivation Techniques. It was a key secret of an ancient Sovereign Sect—the Myriad Star Gate. Using the mysterious powers of these nine star lords, Long Fei wanted to instantly break Xiao Chen's illumination of the sky.
When night and day reversed again, the rebound would definitely inflict great injuries on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly. Naturally, he would not let Long Fei run rampant. He formed hand seals, and a golden-yellow full moon rose behind him, lighting up the sky.
"The sun is merciless, and the bright moon is flawless. With both sun and moon up, Long Fei, how can your starlight compete with them?"
Xiao Chen stepped forward in the air and shouted out this question at Long Fei. When he stepped forward, the ocean below surged without end, as if it could not endure his rage.
"Sun and moon rising together. Unexpectedly, he can produce such a sight. This Xiao Chen is too terrifying."
"Before the light of the sun and the moon, Long Fei's Nine Heavens Astral Arts is indeed like specks of light. How unfortunate. This is an absolute Cultivation Technique, yet it is completely suppressed with Xiao Chen flipping night and day and making both the sun and moon rise."
"The sun is Yang and the moon is Yin. Xiao Chen's ability to make both the sun and moon appear perfectly must have something to do with his newly comprehended Flawless saber Dao. Flawless...flawless...perfect and flawless... The combined light of the sun and the moon is truly perfect and flawless."
"Long Fei, you no longer stand any chance."
With the rise of one hand, day and night flipped. With a wave, the sun and moon appeared together. Xiao Chen was truly astonishing. No one had ever heard of anyone being able to manipulate a Martial Technique like that.
When Long Fei heard Xiao Chen's question, it instantly felt like the entirety of heaven and earth was pushing him aside, mocking him for overestimating himself. How could mere grains of light compete with the sun and the moon?
This sensation was not an illusion but true suppression. Xiao Chen materialized the sun and the moon with a wave of his hand, able to control night and day. He thoroughly grasped the power of the Dragon Wood Star's Heavenly Dao.
Since Xiao Chen did not permit starlight to appear, heaven and earth would naturally push out Long Fei. When Xiao Chen questioned Long Fei about daring to compete with the sun and the moon, heaven and earth would naturally mock Long Fei.
Long Fei vomited a mouthful of blood. Xiao Chen pushed him to the point where the Nine Heavens Astral Arts broke entirely, unable to continue circulating. This was the first time someone had shattered the Nine Heavens Astral Arts in such a tyrannical manner.
"Good, good, good! Xiao Chen, it looks like I have to reevaluate your strength. It turns out that I still underestimated you."
Long Fei wiped away the bloodstains at the corners of his lips. His ashen skin no longer showed any signs of blood. A white light suddenly shot out from his forehead, and a two-meter-long trident appeared in his hand.
The moment the white light appeared, an aura of ruin spread out."Ka ca! Ka ca!" White bones manifested around Long Fei: sternum, ribs, tibia, femur, humerus...
As the light shone, the bones quickly connected together, forming a large incarnation made of white bones protecting Long Fei. Pale white flames burned in the eye sockets of the bone incarnation.
This huge bone incarnation seemed to be alive. The jaws of the skull-like head looked extremely sinister.
"White Bones Dharmic Arts, " Xiao Chen whispered when he saw the bone incarnation take form.
He had heard of this before. According to rumor, when the Cultivation Technique that the Corpse Race's White Bone Sovereign used reached the tenth layer, it would form an incarnation.
However, this was not a simple incarnation but a complete lifeforce. If the main body died without the incarnation being destroyed, the person would come back to life.
Furthermore, the incarnation had significant combat prowess and all sorts of uses. One example was how it encaged Long Fei's body, boosting his defense, offense, speed, and aura by two or three times.
While the others marveled at the White Bones Dharmic Arts, Xiao Chen cast his gaze on the trident giving off a limitless aura of ruin in Long Fei's hand. For some reason, this trident felt familiar.
Long Fei held the trident with one hand and casually swung it. The white bone incarnation mirrored the action. For every action he executed with the trident, the bone incarnation performed the same action with a small dragon-like black aura in its hand.
"Xiao Chen, if you think that you have nothing more to worry about after breaking my Nine Heavens Astral Arts, then you are wrong. After all, I, Long Fei, am the descendant of the White Bone Sovereign. This White Bones Dharmic Arts is my true trump card."
Xiao Chen formed hand seals with his hands and drew back the blazing sun in the sky. It plunged down and turned into a purple talisman that floated quietly above his head.
Night fell once again. Only the bright moon remained in the sky, releasing light like it was a flame.
"That is fine by me. If that was all the ability you had, you would not be worthy of being a grindstone for my Flawless saber Dao. Come, this Xiao will take you on, any time."
Xiao Chen's tattered robes and long hair fluttered in the cool breeze, displaying the light blue Sea Monarch Headscarf, his delicate facial features, and a keen sharpness from every part of his body.
Long Fei took a step forward. This was just a small step, but the huge white bone incarnation could already reach Xiao Chen. He thrust his trident forward at Xiao Chen's forehead.
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen did not move back at all but stabbed out with a finger of his right hand. A cold saber light flashed. The fingertip was now covered with a saber light giving off sparks. When it clashed with the trident, they produced a melodious 'clang. '
The aura of ruin on the trident seemed to want to reduce everything to ruins. It wanted to destroy that electric light with brute force. The white bone incarnation opened its jaws and roared, increasing the pressure.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He had the immortal will of thunder. With the attribute of immortality, naturally, it would not fall into ruin so easily. Even if this was the will of ruin, that would not happen.
The purple talisman sent out a beam of light and enveloped Xiao Chen as he stepped forward instead of retreating. Then, he pushed. Long Fei, together with that huge white bone incarnation, actually staggered back under his finger's thrust.
"I finally understand the origins of your trident. Unexpectedly, you refined the Ruin Throne into a bone weapon."
When Xiao Chen's finger came in contact with the trident, the scarlet and black thrones in his sea of consciousness immediately flew around in excitement, on the verge of coming out. How could he not figure it out?
At this moment, Long Fei's expression changed completely. He was somewhat astonished as he exclaimed, "Throne?! You have a throne as well?!"
"I will be taking your bone weapon made from the Ruin Throne!"
Xiao Chen smiled and revealed a serious expression in his eyes. Even if he had to use the Magic Skills that he kept as trump cards, he had to obtain this Ruin Throne.
Long Fei recovered his wits and smiled coldly."You are really arrogant. You have not even drawn your saber, yet you are thinking of taking my Ruin Trident? It is better that you give me your throne! Dark Underworld Bone Flame!"
The white bone incarnation opened its jaws and spat a black flame at Xiao Chen.
This flame was extremely cold. Everywhere it passed, even the dust in the air froze and formed ice flowers.
Xiao Chen could not dodge it, and his hand came in contact with it. The cold aura immediately penetrated his skin and poured into his arteries. Then, it surged around berserkly and sealed his entire right arm in ice.
"What a tyrannical flame!"
By the time Xiao Chen reacted and used his Heavenly Sage Laws to block this flame, his arm was already covered in frost, festooned with many ice flowers. The flame was actually sucking out the lifeforce in his arm.
Long Fei laughed loudly and said, "This Dark Underworld Bone Flame is ranked sixth among the Yin-attributed flames. I put my life at great risk when I obtained it in the Nine Layers of Purgatory. Xiao Chen, your arm is completely crippled now."
The moment Long Fei spoke, he swept the trident across in front of him. The huge white bone incarnation performed the same action with an image of the trident. Then, it hacked down at Xiao Chen.
The trident swung with great force, sending out a berserk wind containing the power of ruin in two directions to create a storm. Space seemed like it would tear at any moment. The aura of ruin surged out.
Xiao Chen set his right hand on his left shoulder. The Lunar True Flame's Origin Flame in his left eye came out and traveled along his fingertips. It gently touched the ice flowers and shattered them. In an instant, it consumed the Dark Underworld Bone Flame in his right arm and even gave the impression that it was not satisfied yet.
