Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Shattering the Void (1600 extra words, asking for monthly passes)

Third day of the third lunar month.

Outside the Evil King Sect.

With the wild mountains already packed with various Jianghu Martial Arts figures.

Today, with the Mad Daoist not emerging, the clash between these two Great Grandmasters represents the highest level confrontation between the righteous and the evil, and to a certain extent, it even determines the allegiance of the world.

As such, besides Martial Artists wholly dedicated to Martial Arts, influential figures including King Qin, Tang King, and Song King, who were rebellious rulers, also sent their confidants to closely monitor the battle.

"Ever since the Undying Evil Emperor set foot in the Divine Capital, he has been unmatched under the heavens, whereas Grandmaster Xun barely made it to the bottom of the list, having gained rank only through several major reshufflings. Isn’t this matchup perhaps too uneven?"

This was the skeptical faction.

"No... I have information that ever since then, the Undying Evil Emperor has never appeared again, possibly having suffered extremely serious injuries and not yet recovered... Grandmaster Xun chose this moment to challenge him, surely with some measure of confidence."

This was the logical faction.

"The influence of the Great Grandmasters on the world is too great; it would be best for them to perish together!" This was spoken by the ambitious ones.

Amidst the anticipation of the multitude, only within the Evil King Sect itself, a few sect masters gathered, their expressions indescribably complex.

For, they themselves had no idea.

At that moment, the crowd parted to reveal an approaching figure, none other than Xun Liuyi!

Clad in a hemp robe and with a smile on his lips, he exuded an extremely striking and wicked charm.

The onlookers’ eyes gradually clouded, influenced and affected by the supreme spirit of the Great Grandmaster.

They ’saw’ Zhong Shenxiu directly charging into the Evil King Sect, and wherever he passed, ordinary disciples of the Evil King Sect fell dead.

Those few sect masters tried to flee, but were caught by him, each finished off with a single palm strike.

"How audacious, to offend my Evil King Sect!"

Deep within the Evil King Sect, a sinister voice came from a dark demonic shadow.

It was the world’s number one, the Undying Evil Emperor!

"Ha ha... Undying Evil Emperor, both you and I have already reached just half a step away from shattering the void. Today’s battle is to fully escalate and break through this final restraint."

Zhong Shenxiu laughed heartily, swinging his palm down.

Boom!

Many buildings of the Evil King Sect turned to dust, and amidst the billowing dust, a demonic and towering figure burst forth.

The two figures swiftly intertwined at speeds imperceptible to the eye, exchanging countless blows in the blink of an eye.

The Undying Evil Emperor moved ghostly and swiftly, his movements like fleeting shadows, treading the snow like a spiritual fox, occasionally counterattacking with a palm strike, seemingly capable of bringing down the entire sky.

Xun Liuyi’s palm techniques were extensive and incorporated the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, displaying endlessly varied and spectacular movements.

As the two continued to fight, nearby buildings and Martial Artists swept into the fray were reduced to dust, one after another.

They fought their way deep into the mountains, a group of reckless Martial Artists, despite witnessing the previous deaths, crazily followed.

Shattering the void!

Many Martial Artists’ eyes shone bright, as if they had discovered a great secret.

It turns out, there was a new path in Martial Arts beyond Great Grandmasters!

Zhong Shenxiu could confidently tell them that the path of shattering the void and transcending the world truly existed.

But to do this without protection is just as heinous as tricking ordinary people into going to space without a spacesuit...

However, no matter how the later duped Great Grandmasters cursed, regardless of whether their breakthroughs were successful or they died in the attempt, it was definitely better than them wreaking havoc within the world; this heaven and earth would also probably be pleased to see them succeed.

Perhaps... it even reduced the difficulty of shattering the void, making it easier for Great Grandmasters to leave?

Boom!

Boom!

The two constantly shifted the battlefield, shattering hills, reversing rivers.

The sky filled with dust continued to billow and intermittently fall.

Many Martial Artists inwardly sighed, such is the might of Great Grandmasters!

In fact, this was merely a solo act by Zhong Shenxiu, using his spirit to forcibly influence the surrounding Martial Artists, making them believe they saw the Undying Evil Emperor.

The enormous momentum was all released by Zhong Shenxiu, but fortunately, besides the Great Grandmasters, no one else could see through it, so no awkwardness was revealed.

To bystanders, these two Great Grandmasters displayed brilliant moves, fighting from day until night.

Finally, the chaotic battlefield returned to calm.

The Undying Evil Emperor stood firm on the mountain peak, his mask and white robe not even slightly disheveled.

He slowly began to speak, his voice hoarse, "Do you... see the path?"

Xun Liuyi slowly replied, "I see it... shattering the void... real existence."

"That’s good, having you as an opponent, my life is without regrets."

The Undying Evil Emperor finished speaking, and his entire body slowly turned to ash.

Meanwhile, Xun Liuyi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the moonlight.

Suddenly, a layer of intense light enveloped him, and an invisible shock came from the void, suddenly shattering...

The history of Jianghu Martial Arts records.

At the end of Great Wu, Great Grandmaster Xun Liuyi battled the Undying Evil Emperor at the gate of the Evil King Sect, and after the battle, the Undying Evil Emperor perished, while Xun Liuyi, under the watchful eyes of many, shattered the void and left.

Since then, despite the chaos in the world, the legend of shattering the void still circulated in Jianghu Martial Arts, attracting generation after generation of Great Grandmasters to continuously pursue it, risking their lives in exploration.

...

Main World.

Qing State.

Below the unnamed mountain cliff, the stone stele engraved with ’Tomb of the Previous Master Long Hezi’ still stood erect.

Next to it, inside a cave dwelling, the figure of Zhong Shenxiu suddenly appeared.

"A day in the mountains, a thousand years in the worldly realm..."

He moved his body and actually felt a bit unaccustomed.

Although Su Daoshi’s body had also cultivated to the Gang Sha Realm, compared to the previous world, it was only slightly stronger than a Grandmaster, and still no match for a Great Grandmaster with bodily Divine Powers.

Moreover, Great Grandmasters cultivated their own bodies, with every lift of a hand or a foot, unparalleled Divine Power was possessed!

’This body, although it has also practiced Martial Arts, is weak... too weak...’

Zhong Shenxiu glanced at the attributes panel:

[Title: Pastor]

[Dragon Tiger Magic Power: Refining Evil Triple]

[Innate Cultivation Techniques: Carefree Wind Escape (Sixth Level), Ten Thousand Beasts True Body Technique (Sixth Level), Earthly Fiendish 72 Transformations (Sixth Level)]

[Heavenly Show Points: 800 (0%)]

[Gate of Ten Thousand: Opening (0%)]

...

"This time opening the world, I’ve made a big profit... The savings cultivated to the Divine Power Realm should be enough, even without suitable Gang Sha Qi..."

"But before that, let’s first refine the bodily Divine Powers!"

In the main world’s cultivation system, there’s a saying about the ’Seven-locking Technique’, which means that Divine Powers are divided into seven grades, but also that Divine Power Realm Cultivators can only refine up to seven Innate Divine Abilities.

However, that’s only a limitation of the sea of consciousness, not considering bodily Divine Powers.

"As long as I refine bodily Divine Powers, I can also be considered half a Divine Power Realm Cultivator..."

As for which Divine Powers to refine, Zhong Shenxiu already had an idea, preparing to replicate the method from his previous life.

His ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book’ could cultivate up to five Divine Powers, three bodily Divine Powers were enough.

And from the cultivation techniques in the previous world of the Undying Evil Emperor, Zhong Shenxiu had already made his choice.

To be honest, he had also looked at the ’Heavenly Stele’, but the strongest move there, the Emperor’s Dragon Fist, required the Emperor’s status and Dragon Spirit to cultivate, which he politely declined.

Besides, recklessly imprinting Divine Powers on the body was somewhat dangerous, so the three previously verified ones were the safest.

[Would you like to spend 150 Heavenly Show Points to refine the three great Divine Powers: Void Poison, Nine Deaths Reversal, and Unbreakable Stone Buddha?]

"Yes!"
