Chapter 81: Decisive Battle in the Divine Capital
"Kill!" The Martial King finally revealed his powerful side, his voice like thunder, his entire body radiating divine brilliance, and the surrounding runes covering the sky and sun.
"Come!" Shi Jian responded just as simply.
The Martial King pressed forward, and the sound of the Great Dao echoed. The terrifying runes instantly submerged the entire Wu Wang's Mansion, causing a riot in Heaven and Earth, as if everything in the world was about to shatter.
Some people couldn't bear the terrifying fluctuations and collapsed to the ground.
Shi Jian swung his single arm forward, and a terrifying Physical Body strength instantly burst forth, colliding with that dazzling light!
Scorching symbols collided in the Void Realm and then vanished.
With just a simple exchange, both of them became somewhat solemn.
As the saying goes, an expert knows a true master when he makes a move. With just this one exchange, the Martial King knew that Shi Jian indeed had the qualifications to challenge him.
In fact, his strength might even surpass his own.
He charged forward, carrying a monstrous Divine Might, and directly arrived before Shi Jian.
Shi Jian fearlessly confronted him, and behind them, phantoms of gods and demons emerged.
Just as the Martial King was shocked, Shi Jian also felt that the Martial King's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Formation Arrangement Realm.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged several blows in the Void Realm. They went back and forth, making it difficult to determine a winner.
However, both of them were currently only engaging in simple clashes, not yet using their powerful Divine Ability.
"Good!" After confronting each other and separating once more, the Martial King roared, his voice exploding like Nine Heavens thunder. He unleashed countless golden lights, so dazzling that they hurt people's eyes.
From within this boundless golden light, an immense and boundless hand reached out. Within this palm, the sun, moon, and stars seemed to revolve, making it incredibly mysterious and awe-inspiring!
"World in Palm!" The experts among the onlookers gasped. They hadn't expected the Martial King to be the first to use a great Divine Ability. And he was using a great Divine Ability like World in Palm.
Even the Shi Emperor, who was observing in secret, subtly changed his expression upon seeing this scene. The Martial King had been in seclusion for so many years, and his strength had indeed made significant progress and a Breakthrough.
World in Palm, Shi Jian was not unfamiliar with this move. When he previously fought against the Dean of Zhulu Academy, the Dean had used this move. However, the Dean's was considered "World in Fist"!
He and the Dean were merely sparring, so the Dean had not pushed the power of this great Divine Ability to its limit. But the Martial King's current World in Palm was different.
His massive hand reached out and spread forward, enveloping Shi Jian beneath it. Within the palm, boundless space seemed to expand, vast and immense.
His five fingers rapidly grew, shaking Heaven and Earth. Each finger turned golden, like five pillars supporting the sky. This Divine Ability was like the "Buddha's Palm" that suppressed the monkey back then. Within it, a world was formed.
The massive hand covered Shi Jian, intending to completely trap him within.
Shi Jian faced this scene without fear, soaring into the air, his entire body enveloped in divine light, like a Heavenly God cleaving the sky! In his hand, a long spear had appeared at some unknown point.
Supreme Attack Divine Ability—Nether God's Spear!
That palm completely enveloped him, transforming into a world within the palm. Between the palm and fingers, one sun, moon, and star after another rotated, mysterious and terrifying.
Such a sight, how had the crowd ever witnessed it before?
"With the sun, moon, and stars revolving within his palm, and being able to transform runes to such an extent, the Martial King truly lives up to his name. I'm afraid I wouldn't fare well against him either!" An old Formation Arrangement Realm King sighed.
They all soared into the high heavens, gazing at the Wu Wang's Mansion from a distance. After many years, seeing the Martial King reappear, they only felt that the Martial King had become even stronger, making them feel awe!
They looked at the small figure enveloped by the world in the palm. Their hearts were all filled with curiosity. "Such a terrifying blow, can you withstand it?"
One star after another revolved, each star lighting up a rune. These stars pressed forward, trying to completely block Shi Jian's path.
Layer after layer of divine light poured down, and a terrifying power sought to ignite Shi Jian, turning him to ashes. Under this massive hand, an ordinary Formation Arrangement Realm King would only turn into dust, leaving no residue behind.
Between Kings, there were also differences in Rank. However, between Spiritual Realm and Formation Arrangement Realm, the difference could be as vast as Heaven and Earth.
The Nether God's Spear in Shi Jian's hand glowed, its dark golden light converging into constantly interweaving Hell patterns. A note from Hell began to sound, dominating life and death.
Shi Jian leaped high, then thrust the Nether God's Spear in his hand towards the stars in the sky.
The long spear vibrated, instantly piercing out hundreds of thousands of spears, its shadow transforming into a gate like a peacock spreading its tail.
This gate, like the Gate of Hell, drew those stars in the sky into it, turning them into nothingness. This was the wonder of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength's various methods.
Various Divine Abilities, when superimposed and complementing each other, multiplied their power!
Shi Jian used the Nether God's Spear to forcibly draw the world in the palm, evolved by the Martial King, into the Hell Furnace.
All the runes, stars, and essence Qi were suppressed and absorbed by him. This was the power of the Hell Furnace. It could absorb all of the opponent's essence Qi and convert it into his own.
Fighting to sustain the fight, always standing invincible.
The firmament of this world in the palm completely changed. One great star after another was shattered by Shi Jian. The entire world in the palm swayed, seemingly on the verge of collapse!
A hint of shock flashed in the Martial King's eyes. He seemed not to have expected Shi Jian to break his world in the palm so easily. However, his methods were not limited to this.
"Transform!" The Martial King roared, and the world in the palm instantly transformed.
Countless suns, moons, and stars disappeared, and terrifying flames began to emerge. As he closed his palm, the space between Heaven and Earth transformed into a furnace.
This furnace began to refine Shi Jian.
The onlookers' expressions changed. This was no ordinary world in the palm. Everyone knew that the Martial King possessed a bronze furnace weapon.
Now, this move of his clearly combined the World in Palm with the bronze furnace. An unparalleled great Divine Ability like World in Palm, coupled with the might of a divine weapon... how many in this world could withstand it?
The Martial King truly lived up to his name. This kind of strength, he was probably not far from becoming a Supreme.
The Heaven and Earth evolved by runes trembled. An eternal bronze furnace appeared, covered in mottled bronze rust, but with flames raging within!
Facing such might, Shi Jian dared not be careless. The precious dark-golden Nethergod Guard armor appeared on his body!
The faint light on the armor flowed, continuously increasing the power of the armor itself and the Nether God's Spear. Behind Shi Jian, a pair of Devil Wings unfurled.
Now, his Devil Wings were several tens of feet wide. As the dark-golden, luxurious wings flapped, the entire world was swept by an endless gale.
"First, you use the world in the palm to suppress me, then you use a furnace to refine me... Are you really treating me like a monkey?"
Countless Nether God whirlpools appeared, and Shi Jian hurled the Nether God's Spear out.
"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out, the firmament trembled, and the entire world crumbled with it. The Martial King's bronze cauldron shook violently.
His figure swayed, and he finally released that hand, and the bronze cauldron point also disappeared with it!
In the Void Realm, Shi Jian, holding the Nether God's Spear, had sharp eyes. This was the first collision between two weapons.
That bell sound was like the ringing of a divine bell from the Heavens. Shi Jian had broken out from the Martial King's World in Palm and bronze furnace.
Everyone watched this scene in shock. A great Divine Ability like World in Palm, plus the suppression of a bronze furnace, was actually broken so easily by Shi Jian?
Shi Jian was truly too terrifying. Not yet ten years old, yet able to stand on equal footing with the Martial King... Or even, surpass the Martial King!
Everyone became even more curious about the upcoming battle. One was the Martial King, a King of the Formation Arrangement Realm.
The other was a young Supreme with terrifying talent, who at less than ten years old already possessed the strength of a Formation Arrangement Realm, setting a record unparalleled in history.
The battle between the two could be described as a Dragon-Tiger struggle! Ultimately, who would win?
Shi Jian was the first to attack the Martial King. He held the Nether God's Spear horizontally, and a spiral Qi current burst out, charging towards the Martial King!
His blood surged, and the dark-golden divine light on his body continuously flowed, empowering his Devil Wings, Nethergod Guard, and Nether God's Spear.
The Martial King dared not be careless and quickly threw a punch.
The rune light on his body transformed into a golden-red Pixiu. This red Pixiu was covered in swirling patterns, its Aura terrifyingly immense. As if to break through Heaven and Earth.
This punch was incredibly fierce, directly confronting the Nether God's Spear. The two collided, and a violent force instantly swept out.
After the Martial King's Pixiu struck, it coughed up blood, and its internal organs were shattered.
This was clearly a Vicious Beast formed by using a precious art, yet at this moment, it seemed as real as can be. From this, one could see just how profound the Martial King's cultivation was.
The true spirit he summoned using the precious art almost became real.
"What kind of Divine Ability is this…?" The Martial King's expression grew more serious.
Devil Wings, Nethergod Guard, Nether God's Spear... These three Divine Abilities had similar Auras and complemented each other. Clearly, they formed a self-contained system of Divine Abilities.
It was just unknown what Rank of precious art this was, to be so powerful!
Many people watched this terrifying battle with trepidation. The Martial King truly lived up to his name; every move was earth-shattering and could shatter everything.
And Shi Jian was even more terrifying. To be able to fight the Martial King to such an extent with a Spiritual Realm. Even a Heavenly God Reincarnation would be nothing more than this.
One could only say, he truly was Ba Ba!
Seeing that the precious art was ineffective, the Martial King once again used a great Divine Ability.
His eyes were piercing, and a slit suddenly appeared on his brow, revealing a silver eye that shot out beams of runes like heaven-piercing Sword Qi, striking towards Shi Jian!
Shi Jian raised the Nether God's Spear and thrust it, blocking all the Sword Qi in the blink of an eye!
The two were like two ignited divine fires, illuminating the sky. They charged towards each other, constantly erupting with light and rumbling loudly!
This battle was destined to go down in history.
The Martial King pushed his power to the extreme. His bronze furnace once again appeared above his head. The rusty bronze furnace emitted dazzling light, and streaks of divine light fell from its opening, protecting the Martial King.
"Ba Ba, your strength is indeed terrifying to such an extent, but if you don't enter the Formation Arrangement Realm, you will never know the mysteries of the Formation Arrangement Realm!"
He strode closer to Shi Jian, throwing punches, and one star after another appeared in the sky! Heaven and Earth shattered.
This strike of the Martial King borrowed the power of various terrifying Vicious Beasts. Tengshe, Flood Dragon, Pixiu, various Vicious Beasts revolved around him, exerting their power with him.
This strike was too terrifying. In an instant, it stirred up terrifying winds and clouds, as if it could destroy everything. The Martial King launched his strongest strike.
"Martial King, are you scared, trying to embolden yourself with words?" Shi Jian responded indifferently.
After the two began their battle, they hadn't spoken again. Now, speaking again, it was clear that it was time to decide the victor.
The Nether God's Spear in Shi Jian's hand pulsed as if it had a spirit. The Hell Furnace absorbed a large amount of surrounding essence Qi, becoming even more ferocious.
This essence Qi continuously nourished Shi Jian, making him stronger. Shi Jian grew stronger the more he fought, his entire being like a volcano about to erupt.
This was also the reason the Martial King launched his final ultimate move. Because he could clearly feel that no matter what kind of precious art he employed, no matter how fierce the attack, he couldn't break through the Nethergod Guard armor on Shi Jian's body!
Instead, it made this guy fight with even greater vigor. If they dragged on any longer, the Martial King would undoubtedly lose.
Therefore, he used a burst attack, borrowing the power of all the Vicious Beasts. He unleashed the power of the Formation Arrangement Realm.
Facing his terrifying blow, Shi Jian also responded. In an instant, he concentrated all his power into the Nether God's Spear.
The next moment, the Nether God's Spear, carrying the Aura of death, fiercely pierced towards the Martial King.
Various Vicious Beasts were coiled around the Martial King. Several of these Vicious Beasts were instantly annihilated by the Nether God's Spear in the blink of an eye.
However, the Martial King's blow was too terrifying. It could be said to be an ultimate sublimation attack.
The runes within his body were pushed to the extreme, transforming into a great Formation Arrangement. The terrifying great Formation Arrangement combined the power of all the Vicious Beasts.
The terrifying power clashed with the Nether God's Spear.
"Crack! Crack!" The Nether God's Spear first vibrated, then the dark-golden long spear shattered and flew all over the sky!
After all, the Nether God's Spear was merely a weapon condensed by Shi Jian with runes. Strong it was, but there was a limit to its strength.
The stronger Shi Jian became, the greater the power the Nether God's Spear could unleash. But now, Shi Jian was, after all, only in the Spiritual Realm.
And he was fighting against the Martial King, who was in the Formation Arrangement Realm... Moreover, he was facing the Martial King's strongest blow. It was normal for it to shatter.
Upon seeing Shi Jian's Nether God's Spear shatter, the onlookers immediately gasped in surprise.
"It's over! Ba Ba's divine weapon has been shattered by the Martial King. Without the power of a divine weapon, he probably isn't the Martial King's match!"
"What a terrifying blow! The Martial King's strike has probably already touched the threshold of a Supreme. Shi Jian, I'm afraid he's going to lose!"
Let alone the onlookers, even the Martial King himself felt a surge of joy in his heart upon seeing Shi Jian's Nether God's Spear shatter. He had just experienced the power of this Nether God's Spear.
It could contend with his bronze furnace. Now that the Nether God's Spear was broken, Shi Jian's strength would drop by a level. He could completely suppress him.
In his great joy, the Martial King's power in his hand increased by several points. His terrifying power instantly surged into Shi Jian's body, burning his Meridians and blood Qi.
"Lost… Ba Ba lost!" Everyone sighed regretfully upon seeing this scene. This earth-shattering great battle, after all, came to an end. Ending with Ba Ba's defeat.
Ba Ba indeed possessed the terrifying strength of the Formation Arrangement Realm. But after his divine weapon shattered, he was ultimately no match for the Martial King.
The Martial King's final blow was too terrifying. Various runes were inscribed into a Formation, and within the Formation, the strength of many terrifying Vicious Beasts was borrowed!
With one strike, a hundred beasts attacked. This was the power of the Formation Arrangement Realm.
Shi Jian ultimately lost due to his Realm. Although his rune strength was extremely terrifying, these runes fought independently and could not be inscribed into a Formation like the Martial King's, twisting their power into one cohesive force!
Formation Arrangement Realm, Formation Arrangement Realm. The two characters 'Formation Arrangement Realm' represent the profound mystery of this Realm.
Countless people felt regret. Although the strength Shi Jian displayed was already incredibly terrifying, everyone still felt it was a pity.
If he could defeat the Martial King, that would be the true beginning of a legend! Now that he had lost, it just felt like something was missing.
Everyone felt regret, even the Shi Emperor and the Dean of Zhulu Academy, who were secretly ready to step in and save Shi Jian! They were afraid that the Martial King would press his advantage and kill Shi Jian.
Just as everyone thought Shi Jian had been defeated, a bell chimed. Shi Jian's figure reappeared before everyone, and behind him was an enormous rune furnace.
Within the rune furnace, countless Vicious Beasts struggled. Hell Furnace!
People only thought that if the Martial King's power entered Shi Jian's body, Shi Jian would be severely injured! Little did they know, this was merely a ploy to lure him in.
Shi Jian's body contained the Hell Furnace, and any power that entered his body would be refined. That Hell Furnace imprisoned and refined the various Vicious Beasts formed by the Martial King's power.
In an instant, a hundred beasts wailed. Shi Jian exuded a terrifying Aura from head to toe, and the lava in the Hell Furnace behind him churned.
Shi Jian flicked his finger, and another Nether God's Spear instantly appeared in his hand!
Everyone who witnessed this scene had their jaws drop. They had previously thought the Nether God's Spear was a divine weapon, but now they understood.
This was not a divine weapon at all; it was merely a weapon formed by runes. He could have as many as he wanted!
"Bro, are you selling these divine weapons wholesale?"
