Chapter 66: On the Verge of Outbreak

The vast majority of people had only heard of Yang Zhu's name, never seeing him in person, and were all very curious.

I've heard before that the Holy Body Dao Embryo is not only powerful, but also possesses unparalleled charm, to the point that even the Shaking Light Holy Son falls short of him.

Exactly, the Holy Body Dao Embryo has been to the Grand Void Gate; I'm on good terms with a disciple from Star Peak, and he told me the same.

People wanted to see further, but their cultivation was limited, making it hard to compare with mighty beings like the Peacock King.

Yang Zhu...

The Shaking Light Holy Son's eyes flashed with divine light as he gazed toward the horizon, yet he saw only a blur.

On the crimson earth, all was silent; everyone held their breath, not daring to blink, fearing they might miss something.

In the next moment, two figures appeared on the horizon, walking over at a leisurely pace.

Yang Zhu wore a flowing white robe, his black hair dancing; unlike the oppressive Divine Body, his inner divine radiance was restrained, his breath deep and unfathomable.

He seemed like a banished immortal descended to the mortal world, his features exquisitely handsome without a single blemish, yet lacking any hint of effeminacy.

The aura naturally emanating from Yang Zhu surpassed ancient and modern, being extraordinarily ethereal and divine.

Simply standing there silently gave people a profound shock, as if he were the master of this heaven and earth.

Holy Body Dao Embryo... truly lives up to its reputation!

People stared at Yang Zhu; this was their first time seeing a man so close to an immortal, leaving them astonished and unable to find words to describe him.

Such a transcendent, otherworldly aura is far beyond what the Shaking Light Holy Son's ilk can match!

Upon seeing Yang Zhu, the Eastern Wasteland Heavenly Prides all had their faces darken, looking extremely grim, as if a mountain weighed on their chests, making breathing difficult.

The woman beside Yang Zhu, could she be the Jade Pool Holy Maiden?!

The crowd quickly recognized that stunningly beautiful woman, couldn't help exclaiming, wondering when the Holy Body Dao Embryo had formed such a connection with the Jade Pool; Yang Zhu gazed ahead at Ji Haoyue, his expression calm without any ripple, his steps light as he walked over.

You really want to challenge me?

Yang Zhu didn't beat around the bush, he asked straight away.

Yes, I hope you can take it seriously; that would be respect for me.

As arrogant as Ji Haoyue, facing Yang Zhu he couldn't help but turn solemn; the matter concerning the Grand Void Gate had a huge impact on him.

The Ji family's pride, the Divine Body phenomenon, the 'Bright Moon over the Sea,' actually suffered defeat! Though several months have passed, he still can't forget it; since birth he's been enveloped by Divine Rings, like stars holding the moon, when has he ever suffered such a loss?

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhu nodded, said no more, raised his arm, and lightly pointed his finger forward.

Ji Haoyue's face changed drastically; he reacted extremely quickly, crossing his arms to block in front of his body, assuming a slightly bent posture.

The void trembled, forming four huge hands tens of zhang wide that emerged from the void behind him, each gripping Ji Haoyue from different directions.

Void Seal!

Ji Haoyue was completely wrapped up tightly, the surrounding void turning illusory; this is a supreme divine ability from the Void Scripture.

In the next instant, a golden light pillar shot out from between Yang Zhu's hands, instantly swelling to dozens of zhang, like a slumbering azure dragon awakening, its terrifying momentum surged toward Ji Haoyue! Boom! The golden light pillar, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, pierced through; upon colliding with the Void Seal, a metallic clang rang out, shooting straight to the heavens.

Just a casual finger can draw upon the power of the Great Dao...

The Shaking Light Holy Son's eyes did not blink; outwardly calm, his heart was churning with huge waves.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The golden light pillar destroyed everything; even the Void Seal couldn't withstand it, exploding one after another, the surging aftermath like collapsing mountains shattering everything within several li. Although Ji Haoyue reacted instantly, assuming a defensive stance, when the golden light pillar approached, even his mighty Divine Body surged with qi and blood, his skin on the verge of splitting.

Indeed, cannot be underestimated!

Despite having the Void Seal protecting him, Ji Haoyue was still flung away; mid-flight he employed the Great Void Technique, black holes appearing around him, erupting with strong suction that pulled at him, barely allowing him to stabilize his form.

Even so, he was still blown back several hundred meters, sharp tearing sounds of splitting air ringing continuously along the way; when he finally stopped, the tips of his feet scraped, releasing the dark energy onto the lower plain.

With a boom, the dark energy exploded underground, forming cracks several meters thick that spread like a spiderweb in all directions, visible for a hundred meters.

Hiss~ This is the Holy Body Dao Embryo......

A casual strike already has such tremendous power; could it be that Yang Zhu truly aims to be invincible among his peers?

Countless cultivators trembled in fear, Yang Zhu's might far exceeding their expectations.

In contrast, the Ji family elders' faces were grimly terrifying; they knew better than outsiders the might of the Void Seal, and at once pressed Ji Haoyue to use it, the meaning needing no explanation.

Brother...

Seeing this, the Ji clan couldn't help but cover their mouths, their bright eyes full of worry; this was the first time she had seen Ji Haoyue like this.

Yang Zhu stepped forward, using Shrink Ground to Inch, causing countless mountains and rivers to recede.

Just a second ago he was still kilometers away; the moment his toes touched down, he had already arrived before Ji Haoyue.

Golden divine fire coated his fist in gold; Yang Zhu threw a punch, space collapsing, the Great Dao resonating, carrying an irresistible force as he smashed down fiercely! Behind Ji Haoyue countless Divine Rings appeared, his eyes shocked, an ancient symbol burst from within him, continuously radiating primordial aura, blocking in front.

The ancient symbol trembled lightly, lighting up a pattern that rapidly expanded to dozens of zhang wide, turning into a massive light curtain blocking between the two.

The golden fist bore the mark of the Dao, grinding away everything; nothing could withstand it!

Bang! Only a light sound was heard; the light curtain shattered under the punch, and then that ancient symbol exploded into countless fragments, thus destroyed.

How is this possible?!

Although the ancient symbol was shattered, Ji Haoyue seized the opportunity while holding back Yang Zhu, successfully retreating, his eyes full of shock.

This was something he obtained from a Saint's Relic; although countless ages have passed, it remains not to be underestimated, hard to shake below the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, yet blown apart by Yang Zhu's assault!

Damn, is this even human?!

Tu Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva; these days he'd heard the Black Emperor boast over and over how strong Yang Zhu was, that any heavenly pride before him was nothing but chickens and dogs.

He had always thought it a joke, but seeing it today he realized it was true.

I admit you're strong, but I'm not weak either!

Ji Haoyue drew several deep breaths, after circulating his secret technique his aura surged, his eyes terrifying, exuding powerful pressure.

Heaven-Cutting Finger!

Ji Haoyue shouted, his fingers as clear as jade, slicing toward the sky, transforming into two silver dragons that came lunging forward with surging momentum, killing intent fierce, piercing the heavens.

Clang clang clang! Heaven and earth trembled, silver light radiated, turning into sharp blades that fell, leaving terrifying gullies on the crimson plain.

One of the Ji clan's divine abilities; once unleashed, it can easily sever mountain ranges, incredibly powerful!

Someone recognized that this was the Ji family's secret, peerless Shen Gong, and couldn't help but shock the heavens.
