Chapter 1694: Unlocking In the Midst of Danger!

The Tianfu Divine Lord could have explained the first few palms as him not putting in enough of his true strength, but the situation was entirely different now.

No one could directly take four of his palms as Wang Chong had, not even more formidable Subtle realm experts. What had taken place just now had upset his understanding of the world.

Hahaha, truly a case of wearing out one’s shoes searching high and low, only to come upon it by luck! The golden seed really can absorb their energy!

On the other side, Wang Chong was elated. Even though he still couldn’t avoid the shocks from the impacts of the palms, the Tianfu Divine Lord’s energy really was unlocking the seal on the golden seed.

“Seed unlocking 15%…… 20%…… 27%!”

The familiar voice of the Stone of Destiny was ringing out again and again. After four palms from the Tianfu Divine Lord, the unlocking of the golden seed had already reached 27%, the equivalent of more than two hundred thousand points of Destiny Energy. This was something Wang Chong had never even imagined possible before this.

But Wang Chong had also noticed a few special details.

It should have been that after taking four palms from the Tianfu Divine Lord, the golden seed’s unlocking should have reached 30%, but that’s not the case. It seems that the effectiveness of the energy decreases the more that’s absorbed, and it can’t go up forever, Wang Chong quietly said to himself.

“Hah, Tianfu Divine Lord, this can’t be all you’re capable of! The mighty Celestial God Organization whose members regard themselves as gods that mortals can do nothing about would probably become a big joke if this got out!”

Wang Chong raised his head and jeered at the Tianfu Divine Lord.

Since he had found the Tianfu Divine Lord’s free ‘energy bag’, Wang Chong couldn’t just let it go.

“Bastard!”

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s face turned ashen and he gnashed his teeth in rage.

“Brat, you really think this god can’t do anything to you?”

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s eyes surged with killing intent and his body trembled as he readied to attack.

“Divine Lord, please hold!”

Suddenly, a figure shot out and blocked the Tianfu Divine Lord’s way.

“Divine Lord, be careful! There’s something strange about this kid! He seems to be absorbing our energy. Divine Lord, you must not be careless. There is no harm in using swords instead of palms to deal with him. No matter how formidable he is, he can’t possibly be capable of absorbing and refining swords!”

Wang Chong’s heart thumped, and as he focused, he saw that it was the black-robed monk who had appeared.

This guy is rather smart!

Wang Chong’s eyes widened, and his expression became more solemn.

Formless Stellar Energy was completely different from corporeal swords and sabers. Although the Tianfu Divine Lord didn’t seem to be an expert in the use of such weapons, Wang Chong truly would find it hard to absorb the energy unleashed through such weapons.

The monk’s warning allowed the Tianfu Divine Lord’s temper to cool.

“Brat, just how did you manage to do it?!”

The Tianfu Divine Lord was no ordinary individual, and once his anger was dispelled, he quickly noticed something strange.

It was obvious now that Wang Chong was intentionally trying to provoke him into attacking, but the Tianfu Divine Lord couldn’t understand why. Subtle realm energy was not something to be lightly messed around with, and his energy was additionally imbued with highly destructive properties. Just what trick had Wang Chong pulled that allowed him to take several of his palms and emerge unharmed?

“Heheh, to think of such a reason after not being able to beat me! The Celestial God Organization is truly disappointing!”

Wang Chong scornfully smiled and jeered to avoid the question.

They were enemies, and Wang Chong naturally wasn’t so much of a fool as to reveal his trump card to the enemy.

“Hmph, seeking death!”

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s expression chilled.

“Even if you say nothing, it’s fine! This god has his ways of forcing you to talk!”

Clang! A sword flew out of the black-robed monk’s hands and into the Tianfu Divine Lord’s. There was a crack of thunder, the flashing of a silver snake, and then the Tianfu Divine Lord was gone. This time, the phantom swords in the air made the situation appear even more dangerous.

Danger!

Wang Chong had an ill foreboding the moment the Tianfu Divine Lord vanished. While he seemed confident on the surface, every nerve in his body was tense.

For the moment, Wang Chong’s strength still could not be compared to the Tianfu Divine Lord’s, and he was keenly aware of this. If the Tianfu Divine Lord combined his movement technique with a saber or sword, he would be simply impossible to deal with.

Buzz!

Time seemed to stop, all sound draining away. Wang Chong’s body trembled with tension, his Psychic Energy and Stellar Energy pushed to the maximum, the Trayastrimsa Heaven and the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art unleashed to protect his surroundings. Even so, Wang Chong did not let down his guard even the tiniest bit!

Only by finding out where the Tianfu Divine Lord really was could he avoid a fatal strike. But all was empty, and he once more felt that familiar feeling. The Tianfu Divine Lord’s energy was everywhere and nowhere, spread thinly across every inch of space so that it was impossible to determine his true location.

Where? Where?!

As the seconds passed, Wang Chong continued to be in more and more danger. If he discovered the Tianfu Divine Lord’s sword too late, not even the golden seed and Stone of Destiny could save him.

Thwish!

At that moment, a sliver of Sword Qi many times thinner than a hair suddenly appeared in Wang Chong’s perception. With no time to think, Wang Chong lunged to the right with all his power, pushing the Greater Void Step to its limits.

Boom!

There was a flash of light, and the place where Wang Chong had been standing exploded. Schwick! In a crimson burst of light, a string of bloody pearls splattered into the dust.

As the Sword Qi dispersed, Wang Chong staggered out of the void a hundred-some feet away, a hand holding his left shoulder.

“Impossible! How did you manage to dodge my Sword Qi?!”

A cry of alarm came from Wang Chong’s previous position, and the Tianfu Divine Lord emerged from the void, sword in hand.

His eyes were fixed on the distant Wang Chong in disbelief.

Unlike the Goat, Deer, and Tiger Immortals, the Tianfu Divine Lord derived his power from the stars. Anywhere the stars shone their light upon was a place he could reach. Even Wang Chong had only been able to receive his attacks, never dodge them!

What had happened just now was even more unbelievable and unacceptable than Wang Chong taking several of his palms and coming out unharmed.

“Haha, Tianfu Divine Lord, it seems you’re out of tricks!”

The flames of rage practically exploded out of the Tianfu Divine Lord’s head.

“Bastard, you’re seeking death!”

Even though he knew Wang Chong was intentionally provoking him, he still couldn’t help but take the bait.

Clang! The Tianfu Divine Lord’s wrist shook, and the sword resounded through the air. The Tianfu Divine Lord disappeared once more.

“Now is the moment!”

As the Tianfu Divine Lord vanished, Wang Chong’s pupils constricted as he did the same.

“Art of God and Demon Obliteration!”

As he activated the Greater Void Step, he also pushed the God Demon Obliteration Sword Qi to its limits. A moment later, within the boundless void, Wang Chong sensed that silver of extremely fine and sharp Sword Qi within the Tianfu Divine Lord.

Not even the Tianfu Divine Lord could have imagined that changing from palm to sword had actually left a massive flaw for Wang Chong to exploit. Although the Tianfu Divine Lord’s movement technique was extremely fast, when it came to the art of the sword, Wang Chong, as the inheritor of the supreme Art of God and Demon Obliteration, surpassed the Tianfu Divine Lord.

Wang Chong still couldn’t sense the Tianfu Divine Lord’s aura, but he could sense his sword, thus allowing him to avoid its attacks.

On the other side, the Tianfu Divine Lord remained unaware of the truth.

“I’d like to see how many of my attacks you can avoid!”

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s voice came from every direction.

Even though Wang Chong had dodged two strikes now, the Tianfu Divine Lord did not care. His attacks came ceaselessly, each faster and more powerful than the last.

Snick! Snick! Snick!

As the sword sliced through the air, wounds were left on Wang Chong’s elbow, stomach, back, neck… Blood gushed out from the various wounds while vicious Sword Qi penetrated into his body.

Though his mastery of the art of the sword allowed him to sense the Tianfu Divine Lord’s position through the sword, the Tianfu Divine Lord was still much faster. Wang Chong could sense his opponent’s attacks, but he couldn’t dodge them.

The wounds began to pile up, and his situation grew increasingly dire. Wang Chong was blinking in and out, focusing only on running around to dodge the Tianfu Divine Lord’s attacks, but counterattack was impossible.

Even so, Wang Chong was still doing his best to try and absorb the Tianfu Divine Lord’s energy.

“Golden Seed unlocking 30%…… 31%…… 32%……”

The Stone of Destiny’s voice was constant in his mind.

The Tianfu Divine Lord’s switching of attack method truly was having a significant effect on Wang Chong. The amount of energy he could absorb was extremely limited, and the unlocking speed of the golden seed had slowed to a crawl, even though Wang Chong was trying his best to convert the Sword Qi.

No! Just sensing his sword isn’t enough to deal with this situation. He’s just going to keep cutting away at me until I’m dead!

While constantly moving around with the Greater Void Step, Wang Chong tried to think of a way out, countless ideas and calculations running through his mind.

He couldn’t last for long, and the current trend still pointed to his inevitable death.
