Chapter 459: Chapter 336: Overwhelming with Power (Part 2)

"Cyan Ghost Celestial Vortex!"

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

A terrifying power erupted, stunning everyone. All froze, their brows furrowing as they stared at the Cyan Ghost’s massive form. A flicker of dread flashed in their eyes.

"The Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus should belong to the strongest. As for the rest of you, you’d best withdraw now if you know what’s good for you."

Qiu Xing spoke coolly, and his voice boomed like a great bell, sending out powerful shockwaves.

"The three of us are from the same sect. We can settle any issues when we get back. For now, this Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus absolutely cannot fall into the hands of outsiders."

"Yu Changsheng already took one half. If we lose this half too, and word gets out, what will become of our Profound Yin Sect’s reputation?"

Qiu Xing said calmly, looking at Yama and He Bicheng.

Yama and He Bicheng were silent for a moment. After some thought, they ultimately stood behind Qiu Xing, casting cold gazes at Wuya, Qian Chengren, and Wen Hanhai, who was standing apart from the other two.

Seeing this, Wen Hanhai raised an eyebrow. After swallowing an Elixir, he chuckled softly.

"How interesting. Four of you chased after a single Yu Changsheng, and he even managed to kill one of you in return. Now you’re finally feeling the pressure? Trying to use your numbers to intimidate others... not bad."

"Isn’t your Profound Yin Sect always so proud? Especially you prodigies—none of you can stand the sight of each other. How could something like a joint effort ever happen?"

Wen Hanhai smiled faintly, his tone carrying a barely veiled mockery.

Qiu Xing narrowed his eyes, glanced at Yama and He Bicheng beside him, and sneered.

"Say what you will. How we distribute the Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus afterward is our Profound Yin Sect’s own business. You outsiders should be content and back off now."

Qiu Xing’s strength was indeed formidable, but he wasn’t confident he could face so many prodigies alone.

Especially after his encounter with Yu Changsheng, he had grown more vigilant. Thus, to be safe, he had already made an agreement with Yama and He Bicheng to maintain a united front for the time being.

"This..."

Qian Chengren and Wuya hesitated, biting their lips, their eyes flickering with indecision.

Qiu Xing alone was more than they could handle. If the three of them decided not to fight amongst themselves and instead joined forces against them... with three of the top-ranked members of the Celestial Slaughter List working together, the two of them stood no chance.

And this was exactly what Qiu Xing wanted to see.

’A bunch of worthless curs.’

Qiu Xing slowly shook his head. Feeling reassured, he let out a breath, his vigilance finally starting to fade.

What no one noticed was that beneath his feet, the river’s surface rippled in an unusual way as a dark undercurrent began to surge.

BOOM!

The surface of the water exploded! A massive wave, a hundred meters high, surged up, seeming to sweep across the sky as it crashed down on Qiu Xing, Yama, and He Bicheng!

"What’s going on?"

Qiu Xing froze, while the faces of Yama and He Bicheng changed drastically.

"Vast Sea Without Limits!"

The great wave surged like the tide. The Profound Turtle’s enormous body unfurled, blanketing the sky and sweeping the Vast Sea with it as it crashed down with unstoppable force. Atop the Profound Turtle’s head, Yu Changsheng stood like an immortal between sea and sky, coldly gazing down at the three of them.

"The Celestial Slaughter Golden Lotus is mine!"

Qiu Xing and Yama narrowed their eyes, their faces involuntarily contorting with boundless rage.

"Yu Changsheng? You dare come back?! Good! This time, we’ll kill you along with the others!"

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

Murderous intent blazed in Qiu Xing’s eyes. With a swipe of his finger, the dark green vortex in the sky began to spin. The Heaven-Reaching Cyan Ghost’s body trembled. It roared, beat its chest, and stomped fiercely toward the hundred-meter-high wave!

RUMBLE!

The Vast Sea swept over, tearing a huge gash in the wave. The Profound Turtle let out a low hum, its body swelling as it rode the wave, growing to a height of a hundred zhang before ramming fiercely into the Heaven-Reaching Cyan Ghost!

Moreover, a boundless blue light suddenly radiated out, blanketing the sky. Wherever it passed, all the water in the area was absorbed, swirling upward to form massive, Heaven-Reaching water pillars that connected the river to the heavens.

"Water Country’s Immeasurable Calamity!"

As if wielding the vast might of the heavens themselves, Yu Changsheng’s hair whipped about him. With a wave of his sleeve, the Red Purgatory Dragon appeared, its draconic might billowing outward. It coiled in the air, framing Yu Changsheng’s figure as he gazed coldly upon the others, his presence utterly overwhelming.

The Cyan Ghost roared, struggling with all its might. Its Heaven-Reaching body trembled, every motion imbued with immense power as it clashed relentlessly with the Profound Turtle. The aftershocks rippled through the heavens.

"Yu Changsheng!!"

Qiu Xing was livid. Yama and He Bicheng exchanged a look, then shot toward Yu Changsheng at high speed, their killing intent flaring.

Yu Changsheng’s expression remained unchanged. He gave a slight nod to the Red Purgatory Dragon, and with another wave of his sleeve, the Colorful Star Deer appeared to guard his side.

’After my recent breakthrough in Cultivation, summoning these three Spirit Beasts is much easier. It’s not like before, where releasing them all at once would instantly drain my Magical Power and force me to rely on Elixirs.’

’The Profound Turtle can now display more of its true might, fighting the Heaven-Reaching Cyan Ghost without being at any disadvantage. Since the Heaven-Reaching Cyan Ghost is Qiu Xing’s strongest technique, tying it up greatly reduces his threat.’

"Slaughter Sword!"

Yama’s expression was cold as he spat a mouthful of blood onto the Long Sword before him. The sword instantly swelled to a hundred zhang in length, radiating boundless power and a terrifying Blood Evil aura as it thrust viciously toward Yu Changsheng.

"Pathetic tricks. Nothing to fear."

Yu Changsheng slowly shook his head. Facing such an attack now felt completely different than it would have before. So, instead of dodging, his arm suddenly swelled. A Spiritual Light flashed in his eyes as he threw a punch at the Giant Sword.

CRACK... CRACK...

The Giant Sword crumbled inch by inch, utterly unable to stop his fist. Yama let out a muffled grunt and was sent flying backward, spitting a stream of crimson blood. He stared at Yu Changsheng, his heart reeling with shock.

"How is this possible?! It hasn’t been that long! How could you have gotten so much stronger in such a short time?"

"Heh. Take a guess," Yu Changsheng sneered. The Red Purgatory Dragon roared, unleashing an endless torrent of Evil Fire that surged toward Yama.

"Something’s wrong! Attack together! We need to end this quickly!"

Yama roared, glancing at Qiu Xing and He Bicheng before his gaze returned to Yu Changsheng, the dread in his eyes reaching its absolute peak.

"Alright!"

Qiu Xing agreed in a low voice. The three exchanged a look and charged toward Yu Changsheng together.

"Red Purgatory Dragon, Colorful Star Deer, hold back the other two!"

Yu Changsheng frowned, directing the Red Purgatory Dragon and the Colorful Star Deer to engage Qiu Xing and He Bicheng while he himself faced Yama, the Thousand Mountain Armor enveloping his body.

"Rising Sun Dawn Fist!"

Yu Changsheng moved like a god, crossing the void to appear directly in front of Yama. He threw a punch, and the very space around it seemed to collapse as his fist hurtled toward Yama’s chest.

"Tao Guang Blood Wheel!"

Yama gritted his teeth, sweat trickling uncontrollably down his forehead. A bloody shadow flowed from him, transforming into a massive blood wheel that spun in front of him, slashing viciously at Yu Changsheng!

SCREEEEECH...

The spinning blood wheel conjured dozens of crimson blades that rushed madly toward Yu Changsheng, but he ignored them completely. They struck his armor, only managing to leave faint white scratches.

’What kind of physique is this? When did his body become so powerful?!’

Yama’s heart trembled. He frantically unleashed his Magical Power, but seeing Yu Changsheng completely unharmed drove him to the brink of madness. The threat of death crept ever closer.

Yu Changsheng’s brow furrowed. He glanced over at the Red Purgatory Dragon and Colorful Star Deer, then stomped his foot hard in the void. A dazzling golden light erupted and condensed into a long Golden Long Spear. Yu Changsheng grasped it and thrust viciously at Yama.

Yama pressed his lips together and spat out another mouthful of blood. He threw the blood wheel up to block, but it instantly shattered beneath the spear’s strike.

The Cold Spear glinted, reflecting Yama’s terrified expression. Yu Changsheng pushed his arm forward, and the spear shattered the remains of the blood wheel, plunging toward Yama’s forehead.

"Die!"

Yu Changsheng roared, unleashing the full extent of his Physical Strength. Yama’s head snapped up, his eyelids twitching frantically as he threw his hand up to block his forehead.

SQUELCH...

Flesh and blood flew. A head soared into the air, and droplets of blood scattered across the river below.
