The two polarities of ice and fire collided with the Xuan Yin sword armour, and the powerful shock caused the entire ice cave to shake, and the ice beneath his feet cracked into countless cracks.
Di Shaitian’s face was vaguely red in colour as his aura rose furiously.
”This is… burning essence blood?” Qing Yu was truly shocked this time.
First, he had used his Phoenix Fire Power, and then he started burning his essence blood. This virtue of Taishi Tian was completely at odds with the original.
”Looks like we can’t be biased to the original in the future ——”
Qing Yu had always viewed the extracted characters from the perspective of reading novels and comics in his previous life. But what he wanted to challenge was not the characters arranged by the author in the original, but real people.
The real world would not be as one-sided as the fictional comics. Real people, too, would not appear to have a forcibly arranged storyline.
Qing Yu collected his mind and silently ran his Xuan Gong. Pure Yin Xuan Qi and Fiery Yang Gang Qi formed a Tai Chi pattern, spreading out his Xuan Yin Sword Armour and confronting the two polar forces of ice and fire.
The two collided without a sound. Although the ice and fire qi was fierce, it was dissolved by the Taiji diagram and even more powerfully attacked back.
The Nine Heavens True Scripture – Taiji Returning to the Source.
“Boom…”
The sudden throbbing of his heart caused Qing Yu’s attack to slow down.
“Heavenly Heart Tribulation?”
Qing Yu’s true qi pressed back, intending to suppress the increasingly violent pounding of his heart.
In response, he was greeted by a thousand ice blades sent out by Di Shi Tian.
Ten thousand refees pierced through the clouds.
Numerous ice blades pierced through the clouds, each one carrying a harsh sword intent, each one no less than the full force of a sword master.
This Ten Thousand Feet Piercing the Clouds appeared to be a combination of the mysteries of the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Clouds, making the ice blades so powerful that they were like ten thousand swords attacking in unison when they launched their moves.
“DONG–”
The sudden appearance of the golden bell shield blocked the Ten Thousand Feet Piercing Clouds, and the burst of Sanskrit sound cleared the cold air of the ice cave.
The ice blade shattered on top of the golden bell, but it also caused the golden bell to crack countless cracks, and the golden light dimmed.
During this period of time, Qing Yu had been concentrating on practising Qi, but had not had time to absorb the relics collected from the Vajra Temple, so his progress in the Golden Bell Mask had slowed down.
But fortunately, Qing Yu’s defence had more than one layer.
The Xuan Yin Sword Armour reappeared and the dark green sword qi came out around his body.
But before the sword armour could take shape, another divine light, even faster than the sword qi, rushed into Qing Yu’s brow, ignoring the golden bell shield as if it were nothing.
Qing Yu suddenly retreated several steps, and there was a momentary loss of concentration in his eyes. Even the Xuan Yin Sword Armour was not really activated.
It was the Execution of God Tribulation, the last of the four Sacred Heart Tribulations.
In the original manga, Di Shaitian had retired before he could use it, but now that he had suddenly used it, it had caused Qing Yu to suffer a stifling defeat.
Instead of fighting Qing Yu to the death with his entire spirit, Di Shaitian suddenly struck Qing Yu with the power of his spirit, causing him to lose his concentration for a moment.
Thousands of years of cultivation, although the results might not be great, had taught Di Shaitian to sharpen a powerful Yuan Shen. At least, even Qing Yu, who was proficient in this dao, had been shaded.
The extremely cold energy of the Snow Blood Claw also contained fire energy, causing the already hard-hit Golden Bell Ring to break and the claws to snap into the flesh.
Qing Yu could feel the blood in his body swimming rapidly with the wound on his shoulder, and running towards the wound, making his qi and blood in his body disordered.
At the same time, his heart was still beating, and it was becoming more and more violent. Even the strong physique shaped by the Golden Bell Mask could not stop the harm caused by the violent beating of the heart.
“Haha, junior, you have fallen into the hands of this throne after all.”
Di Shaitian’s true qi in his hand was continuously injected into Qing Yu’s body, a*similating with his true qi before usurping it.
“This throne has to thank you for refining the dragon element and completely integrating it into your true qi. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to take in the power of the dragon element. Now, this throne does not need to worry about the conflict between the dragon element and the phoenix blood.
With the unification of dragon and phoenix, this throne is the only Eternal True God in this world. Hahahaha ——”
Thinking about his future glory, Di Shaitian could not help but let out a wild laugh.
How could he not be overjoyed that his long-cherished wish had come true so easily, yet far better than he had expected.
“The essence of the Sacred Heart Incantation of the Nascent Sea lies in devouring, yet its technique is not devouring but a*similating, first integrating the true qi into my body, then controlling it from within, and finally taking my true qi with it to transform it into a part of the Sacred Heart Skill, while still maintaining the essence of the preciousness of the true qi.
A miraculous technique, but Xu Fu, have you forgotten the Raging Wind and Thunder? Have you forgotten the Five Thunder Transformation Extreme Hands?”
Qing Yu’s soft laughter broke Di Shi Tian’s ecstasy, while giving him a strong sense of unpleasant foreboding.
And in the next instant, the bad premonition came true. The true qi that had been a*similated into the Sacred Heart Technique began to transform once again as it returned to Di Shaitian’s body, turning into a true qi that could transform into all things, eroding and dissolving the phoenix blood and thousand years of merit power in Di Shaitian’s body.
Since it was his initiative to incorporate this true qi, it rapidly a*similated with his own power, and then the frightening phenomenon came ——
Qing Yu gently took off the claw of Di Shaitian’s hand that was clasped on his shoulder, and returned his hand with a palm imprint on his chest.
The two qi of yin and yang rushed into Di Shaitian’s body, breaking the balance between the Phoenix Fire Power and the Xuan Ice Power, causing Di Shaitian to lose the ability to even block the Five Thunder Transformation Extreme Hand power straight away.
“Xu Fu, the real tricky part of you lies not in the Sacred Heart Skill, but in the Phoenix Blood. The powerful recovery power given to you by the Phoenix Blood makes it difficult for you to die unless your head is severed. This is your real strength. Without the Phoenix Blood, you are just a weak chicken even if you have a thousand years of wisdom.”
Qing Yu eyed his Di Shi Tian’s unwilling eyes and laughed lightly.
Like Nie Feng, the Qilin Demon before him, Di Shaitian’s recovery power was amazing. Phoenix blood could not make him ageless, but it could make him recover to an appalling degree.
Like the previous Heavenly Heart Robbery, this martial art was meant to lead the heart with the heart, and if he wanted his opponent’s heart to be torn apart, he would first have to suffer the same shock himself. But with the restorative power of the phoenix blood, this kind of damage to the heart’s violent beating could be completely ignored by Di Shi Tian.
If the phoenix blood was not eliminated first, Di Shi Tian would have something to grind.
Therefore, Qing Yu had deliberately set such a trap. Using the breath of the dragon element to seduce Di Shaitian into taking the bait, so that he would seek his own death.
In the original story, Emperor Shakitian was set up by Raging Wind and Thunder, and suffered from the Five Thunder Transformation Hand power into his body, resulting in the dissipation of his phoenix blood and thousand-year power. Now he has suffered the same fate, having his power transformed by Qing Yu’s tricks.
For this reason, Qing Yu did not use the Return to Nothing move from the very beginning, nor did he reveal the nature of his ever-changing true qi.
When Di Shaitian thought that his Sacred Heart Technique True Qi had a*similated Qing Yu’s True Qi, he was unaware that Qing Yu had taken the trick and a*similated the Sacred Heart Technique True Qi in reverse.
And then, Di Shaitian fused this True Qi that he had devoured, and also brought himself to the end of the road.
“It is ironic to fall twice in the same pit. Farewell forever, Xu Fu.”
The dark green sword qi pa*sed through his brain.
