Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Just One or Two Hundred Pieces

The Demon Emperor possessed combat experience and skills amassed over a hundred thousand years; this was her greatest advantage. In this moment, speed and strength merged perfectly. After repeated attacks, finally...

After the 108th strike, her wooden sword broke through the Divine Body’s armor and protective aura.

A streak of fresh blood spilled.

Chen Shixian’s face turned pale, and her body stiffened. What she found unbelievable was that Guang Xiaoyu, despite delivering over a hundred strikes, showed no signs of decline. Instead... she was becoming increasingly powerful.

SQUELCH!

The 110th Sword Dao attack pierced through Chen Shixian’s body.

Guang Xiaoyu smiled.

But Chen Shixian’s face was exceedingly grim. She, an Ancient Divine Body, was continuously being suppressed and beaten by an ordinary cultivator.

"Heh." Chen Shixian laughed, furious. "You’ve completely enraged me."

Never before had she felt such anger. To be suppressed and beaten like this, and even humiliated by Guang Xiaoyu saying she had been waiting for her strongest state.

After all, who is the real possessor of the Divine Body? Shouldn’t Guang Xiaoyu be looking up to me? Shouldn’t she fear the might of the Divine Body? Why?

Chen Shixian, her face full of rage, conjured an image of a vast sea in her mind’s world, followed by a bright white moon slowly rising.

This was her vision.

However...

Behind Guang Xiaoyu, a vision also materialized—a sun, but this sun was black.

Chen Pingping’s mouth fell open. She actually fused the True Solar Scripture with Demon Cultivation Skills?

Even Chen Shixian was momentarily stunned.

The crowd exclaimed, "What’s going on? How could she have a vision too?"

Shi Yi was dumbfounded. "A black sun, holy shit..."

The scene before them was utterly bizarre.

Guang Xiaoyu’s smile didn’t wane. She kept her gaze fixed on Chen Shixian’s Rising Moon Above the Sea and then said, "Don’t worry, I’m not a Divine Body."

Chen Shixian: "..."

She felt a deep sense of humiliation. Not a Divine Body, yet able to suppress me. Not a Divine Body, yet able to display visions exclusive to Divine Bodies. Are you some kind of monster?

The Rising Moon Above the Sea grew more intense, and so did the black sun. In an instant, they burst forth, looking like two gigantic spheres clashing from afar.

BOOM!

A thunderous, deafening roar echoed through the imperial city’s sky. Majestic power continued to collide, dissolve, and disperse, forming terrifying waves that swept into the distance.

A terrifying sight.

This was a clash of visions, something that had not appeared in the south for at least a thousand years.

At that moment, from within that gigantic black sun, a shadow suddenly emerged, holding a Void Sword, thrusting it directly forward.

Chen Shixian’s face filled with shock. She wanted to retreat, but it was too late. The Void Sword instantly pierced through her body, leaving behind a huge, bloody hole.

The Rising Moon Above the Sea, the vision she had cast, consequently shattered, crumbling piece by piece. She suffered a terrible injury, and the backlash began within her body.

Damn it! How could this happen?

Chen Shixian’s face was ashen, her whole body trembling. Guang Xiaoyu is only at the First Heaven of the Destiny Realm, yet her Divine Sense power is even stronger than mine! That black sun condensed a Divine Sense killing intent... no... it wasn’t Divine Sense killing intent. All in all, it’s utterly bizarre.

She kept retreating, vomiting blood, her face as pale as could be.

When she looked up, Guang Xiaoyu was watching her with a brimming smile, as if mocking the pathetic state of a Divine Body, or perhaps telling her, "You’re about to lose."

The Divine Body is about to lose. I can’t accept it. I’m not willing! One of the Ancient Divine Bodies, how could I possibly lose to an ordinary cultivator?

Chen Shixian swallowed a few Spirit Pills, and her internal injuries quickly began to heal. Then she walked out from the deep pit, the dust behind her scattering in the wind.

"Spirit Pills?" Guang Xiaoyu smiled. "I have some too, and... I have more than you."

"How many do you have?" Chen Shixian didn’t believe her.

"Just a hundred or two hundred," said Guang Xiaoyu.

Chen Shixian: "..."

Just? A hundred or two hundred?

In the current world of cultivators, alchemists were few and far between. Coupled with the difficulty of finding spiritual medicines, the quantity of pills was constantly diminishing. If ordinary cultivators had even a few Spirit Pills, they could brag for several years.

She, as a Divine Body under the protection of Yuan Martial Academy, had been given thirty pills outright for this duel with Guang Xiaoyu. And even with that, she had felt like the richest cultivator in the world.

Yet, she had never imagined that this little girl in front of her had a flipping one or two hundred Spirit Pills.

This is outrageous! Chen Shixian secretly felt her stomach churn. "Who gave them to you?"

"Guess!"

It must be Chen Pingping. That guy is always so mysterious.

Chen Shixian then asked, "Why does it seem like you have protective armor even though you’re clearly not wearing any?"

"This is it!" Guang Xiaoyu pointed at the dress she wore.

Chen Shixian: "..."

Absolutely preposterous! Who on earth refined armor to look like this? Throughout the recorded history of the Heaven Martial Continent, such a thing has never occurred.

Chen Shixian felt a profound sense of helplessness. "Is that wooden sword in your hand a Divine Weapon?"

Guang Xiaoyu shook her head. "It’s not!"

That’s a relief... Chen Shixian secretly sighed in relief. At least it isn’t a powerful Divine Weapon. Hmm... but then again, if it’s just a wooden sword, how could it pierce through my armor? And the Divine Brilliance of my Divine Body’s protection?

She fixed her gaze on the wooden sword and asked, "Are you sure it’s not a Divine Weapon?"

Guang Xiaoyu replied, "Of course not. It’s merely raw material."

Raw material meant it had yet to be forged into a Divine Weapon. Chen Shixian finally understood where she had lost—her own foundation was lacking, and her backer wasn’t powerful enough.

She began to calm down and carefully analyze the battle situation.

Guang Xiaoyu’s armor is very strong; it must have been refined by a powerful expert. So far, it doesn’t have a single crack. This means if I want to injure Guang Xiaoyu, I first have to break through her armor. Secondly, I have to make her use up her ’one or two hundred’ Spirit Pills.

Thinking this through, Chen Shixian instantly felt powerless and desperate.

My Sword Dao is inferior to hers, my power reserves can’t compare, and even my vision was just defeated. Do I really have to play my trump card? Does Guang Xiaoyu even have a trump card? By the time I break through Guang Xiaoyu’s armor and exhaust all her Spirit Pills, I’ll probably be finished, right?

After several analyses, all leading to the same outcome, Chen Shixian’s expression turned bleak.

No, there’s still one way. Deliver a fatal blow, or inflict serious injury in one hit, without giving her time to recover.

Thinking this, some color returned to Chen Shixian’s eyes.

Guang Xiaoyu blinked, her excitement unwavering. "Are you going to use the Glow of the Moon God now?"

Chen Shixian: "..."

It had been many years since a Moon God Body last appeared. Records of this Divine Body were scarce, let alone information about its most powerful strike, the Glow of the Moon God. She was quite certain that not many in the south knew about it—only a handful of people. Perhaps some ancient families still held a few records.

Yet this little girl had spoken of it so bluntly. Chen Shixian instantly panicked.

"No? Could it be Moon Illusion, the second form of the vision?" Guang Xiaoyu speculated.

Chen Shixian: "..."

"Never mind, never mind. You do you," Guang Xiaoyu said with a radiant smile. "I’m very much looking forward to it."
