Chapter 502: The Throne of the Sky
The rain falls gently, and the vegetation in the hometown comes alive again.
Grass, grass, grass, grass, grass…!
Fireworks are easily extinguished.
Master Ronghua could feel the warmth and coldness of human emotions in that moment. He felt like he could hear the sound of going bankrupt. He had put in a lot of effort, invested a lot of treasures, and spent a lot of time and money to raise this kylin. He wanted it to possess a complete soul to drive its body in the future.
He felt like he was a toy maker building a giant robot. He had finished the outer shell and all the hardware matched perfectly. The only thing left was completing the system. Just when he was only a few steps away from success, someone blew up his robot. It exploded into fireworks.
His mindset exploded too.
Master Ronghua’s heart turned cold in that moment, very cold. An endless wave of murderous intent rushed out.
Before this, he actually hoped for a peaceful resolution and didn’t mind stepping back a bit to keep the peace.
Because all these years of preparation were for achieving enlightenment in the path of Yin and Yang magic. Whether it was entering the imperial court, facing Nalan Jinghuai in a battle, or turning Qingyang City into his own territory, it was all for surpassing his current state and reaching the pinnacle of Yin and Yang magic, an achievement that previous generations failed to attain.
But now, both sides were determined to fight to the death.
It was like the duel in the second installment of the famous detective Holmes. Professor Moriarty actually cherished Holmes as an opponent, but Holmes cleverly took away his notebook and declared that all his possessions would be confiscated. At that moment, when Moriarty faced bankruptcy, he truly felt the urge to kill.
Ultimately, Master Ronghua and the Moriarty in this movie were similar. The latter wanted to start a war for financial gain, while the former was willing to abandon all moral standards in order to achieve enlightenment. The reason he didn’t kill Bai Wei and tried to compromise was because he wasn’t sure if he could do it. It was also because his cultivation was hard-earned, and he didn’t want to waste it here. That’s why he appeared cowardly in various ways.
But if he could easily control Bai Wei, he would have acted long ago.
With the brutal methods of killing Nalan Qingshu and cooking Qingyang City, his extremely selfish nature has already been fully exposed.
To be able to do this, not out of hatred but for his own strength, it doesn’t matter whether he killed the demons or something else… Besides, isn’t there anyone from the human race in the vast Qingyang City?
He has already made up his mind, there is no turning back.
Bai Wei smirked faintly, somewhat mocking. He had seen many people like this before. They seemed easy to bully on the surface, but in reality, it was because you appeared stronger. If you were weaker than them, they would immediately take advantage and show their claws. He despised people like this the most. That’s why he killed many spineless people who only knew how to exploit the common people during the political turmoil. He never expected that such people would exist in the martial world as well.
Bai Wei gathered a breath of true energy. Most of the kitchen knives used steel blades embedded in iron, which was using good steel on the blade. If it was sharpened too much, the steel would be worn away, leaving only easily corroded iron.
It’s the same situation now. The initial stage of Golden Power cannot withstand wastefulness. Every bit of strength must be used precisely and carefully planned.
It’s obvious that the opponent has accumulated more power. It’s best to unleash the full force of Golden Power and concentrate the strength in one point to end this battle.
It’s almost impossible to win against someone who is above level fifty with just a sword.
He couldn’t let go of Nalan Qingshu, or she would immediately become a target and get into a fight with the troublemakers.
Oh well, it’s not the first time.
"Can you hear me?" Bai Wei asked.
"Hmm." Nalan Qingshu opened her eyes and weakly said, "Don’t…leave me."
"No, I won’t," Bai Wei pointed to his own back, "Have you watched nature shows? Learn from the koalas."
"Oh." She heard his confident response and smiled happily. She didn’t feel embarrassed at all. She climbed onto his back and hugged him tightly, not behaving like a proper young lady. She didn’t care what her mom or dad would say.
But she didn’t mind. With her little head and wondering thoughts, she looked past his reliable shoulders and glanced at Master Ronghua.
"You all have been good… Today, you can’t escape death," Master Ronghua pressed the two-part facial mask, and his fingers landed between the two parts. The mask started to move and transform, unleashing the dormant power from within.
[Overall Level: 47→49→53→61→59]
The level kept rising and stopped at level fifty-nine.
There was a brief drop, showing that his strength might come from outside forces and not entirely from himself.
However, using external force would definitely cause self-damage.
The biggest weakness of the Yin-Yang master is having a powerful spirit but a weak body. Only focusing on amplifying the spirit would have serious consequences and harm one’s own essence.
Master Ronghua was extremely angry and even risked everything, deciding to make a last desperate stand here.
His several Yin-Yang techniques were all broken, and the last harsh and decisive Yin-Yang technique was all that remained in his bag of tricks.
Once unleashed, its power would be uncontrollable even by himself, but in his extreme anger and life-or-death struggle, he didn’t care about that!
In the midst of extreme anger, Master Ronghua actually became calm. He had spent many years in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and seen all kinds of situations and visited various vassal states. He had also taken many lives on the battlefield and tried to use Yin-Yang techniques to change the order of things. If it weren’t for encountering Nalan Jinghuai… However, there were also benefits. At least after being awakened, he could explore the limits of his own realm.
From now on, he would surpass his former self!
Two giant forces formed in the sky, with the clear air rising to become the heavens and the muddy air descending to become the earth. The heavens and the earth are the two forces, and if they become unbalanced, the heavens and the earth will collapse.
He pointed with one finger, struggling to turn his finger, and as his finger turned, even the force of gravity between the heavens and the earth began to reverse.
The gravitational field shifted, which meant that the laws between the heavens and the earth were being covered and overwritten. Countless objects and debris around were flying towards the sky involuntarily.
Reversing the heavens and the earth, disrupting the two forces.
His soul was already having a hard time supporting the first half of this move, but the surging black water allowed his soul to stabilize.
This kind of pain extracted from the souls of a hundred thousand departed is itself the corruption of the soul, to put it bluntly, it is the residue generated after the distortion of the soul. Do I need to say what happens when you eat rice and it comes out?
He was now devouring this thing greedily, which was no different from Liang Feifan competing to eat it. But this thing was filling, at least allowing him to support the complete release of the Yin Yang technique with a fierce and twisted face.
"Come!" The Yin Yang master shouted explosively, exhaling the thousands of suppressed emotions in his chest. In a violent sound, the two forces collapsed.
This force rebounded onto himself, causing him to be forced back, crashing into the pool water, creating a series of eighteen water ripples, and spewing blood from his mouth.
The performers were so tragic, not to mention Bai Wei himself who was involved in the yin and yang technique. He immediately understood the essence of this move.
The collapse of space caused by gravitational turbulence.
The first move is to control the opponent by disrupting gravity, making it impossible for them to dodge. The second move is the essence, causing all gravity to collapse towards the center. The violent overlapping of gravity fields will eventually cause the destruction of space. The rapidly rotating Yin and Yang discs will crack. The design of this move is extremely clever. Most spells of level fifty or above can destroy space, and this move is even deadlier than dimensional slash.
Because it indiscriminately destroys an entire space, its range is large enough. Moreover, it also has a suppressing effect on the soul. Perhaps this is due to the yin and yang technique. Bai Wei feels that his connection with his body is improving.
Suddenly, his shoulders tightened.
"Scared?"
"A little."
"Then go ahead and cry."
"My husband is bullying me…" Nalan Qingshu whimpered softly.
"Close your mouth and eyes."
Bai Wei held back his frustration and realized the essence of Yin and Yang techniques. He just needed to destroy it. When it came to dealing with space and gravity, he coincidentally had a way.
In an instant, the Golden Power enveloped him. The majestic golden eyes opened, and he caught a trace of the Yin and Yang technique, understanding its operating rules. It was like finding flaws in even the most flawless glass cabinet. This time, the golden light wasn’t a shooting star or flame, but rather an ethereal figure. Briefly utilizing the Golden Power, he brought it back from memory. She swung her sword towards the rotating collapsing central part of the Taiji Disk.
Master Ronghua didn’t get angry but laughed instead, coughing up blood. He sneered, "Fool, that flaw was intentionally left there. Breaking it will only result in your faster death!"
The Taiji Disk was severed in two, completely crumbling. As it was destroyed, the space itself also collapsed. Everything inside instantly collapsed into the void, almost completely destroyed.
The Yin and Yang practitioners were overjoyed, wishing to celebrate with great jubilation.
But in the next moment, this void was also split open. From the chaotic currents of the void, Bai Wei walked out calmly and landed safely.
Behind him, the golden silhouette stood tall, like a Valkyrie, and then it faded and dispersed. Even from the remnants, one could catch a glimpse of her extraordinary elegance.
Heroic Spirit Principle · the Throne of the Sky.
The Throne of the Sky means controlling storms and meteors, which means controlling space and gravity. It is the king of the ancient dragons’ storms.
This is Liliana’s possession of the superior Heroic Spirit Principle. Her accomplishments in space and gravity have reached a divine level that no one can match. Gravity itself can distort the position of time and space. If she further explores the Heroic Spirit Principle to the extreme, perhaps she can unlock the ultimate power of the ‘Throne of Space and Time’. This is also the development path pointed out by Bai Wei, but it is uncertain whether it will be achieved in her lifetime.
Bai Wei can restore his Heroic Spirit Principle through the Golden Power, but it is only a poor imitation. Even so, relying on his understanding of Liliana from his memories, he can still construct half of the original power at the initial stage of ability—thanks to the stage set by Master Ronghua, the reappearance of memory can be closer to reality with the blessing of Yin and Yang arts.
"It’s over." Bai Wei stepped into the lotus pond, and by now the water in the pond has dried up, less than one-tenth of its original volume.
The lips of the Yin and Yang master murmured, seemingly angry and trembling, not quite understanding how he suddenly ended up in such a state.
Finally, he had a great opportunity that fell into his lap, only to lose it completely.
Frustration? Anger?
They all exist, but they are not important. What matters is… how to survive.
The main contradiction now is not the contradiction between his remaining wealth and the opponent’s attacking strength, but the contradiction between the opponent’s unfathomable strength and his precarious, life-like a candle in the wind.
However, a warrior can be killed but not humiliated!
Master Ronghua squeezed out a sentence with a very tough tone, almost grinding his teeth.
"I was just, playing around…really…"
