The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy
Chapter 331. Ripple Divine Skill VS Substitute Messenger

Chapter 331: 331. Ripple Divine Skill VS Substitute Messenger

Fang Zhou moved his hands and feet, defending as if he were an unbreakable fortress, blocking all attacks completely.

He activated his Ripple Divine Skill, causing his body to tremble slightly, even making the surrounding air vibrate, creating invisible ripples.

When these ripples spread around, a faint humanoid figure finally emerged, fiercely attacking Fang Zhou with its flailing limbs.

As expected, it’s a substitute!

According to Luo Xuan, the Substitute Messenger plan of the True Mother God Sect is handled by General Yaksha. Even a layabout like Luo Xuan could have a substitute, so it was certain that General Yaksha would have one.

General Yaksha’s substitute was much more powerful than Luo Xuan’s, with strength and speed several times higher.

Fortunately, Fang Zhou’s physical strength had been enhanced after advancing to the Innate Realm, making it relatively easy to handle.

On the ground, General Yaksha slowly opened her eyes, filled with a look of fear.

She hadn’t expected Fang Zhou to be so powerful. Thankfully, her body had been tempered with Poison Fire, giving her robust life force; otherwise, that golden sword light would have killed her instantly.

However, she was not far from death now. She had to escape and report this to the Divine Sect, that someone else was responsible for killing the Mystic Yin Divine Tree, and perhaps forces against the Divine Sect were behind it.

General Yaksha’s eyes burned with a desperate will to survive. Her substitute let out a furious roar, with half of its body engulfed in flames and the other half shrouded in icy chill.

Fang Zhou was surprised. Luo Xuan had said that the Substitute Secret Skill of the True Mother God Sect had its flaws, unable to awaken innate abilities and only capable of physical attack and defense.

But what was happening with General Yaksha’s substitute? Had it awakened abilities?

General Yaksha’s substitute, with one side scorching hot and the other freezing cold, delivered attacks upon Fang Zhou, each punch and kick inflicting an icy-hot sensation.

The substitute clapped its hands together, merging fire and chill into one beam directed straight at Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou combined his Vast Yang Qi with the Ripple Divine Skill, slicing the icy-hot beam in half with a karate chop.

He flew in front of the substitute, unleashing a punch as fast as lightning; the substitute stubbornly countered with its own punch.

The substitute had no physical form; pure physical attacks could not affect it. However, Fang Zhou’s application of the Vast Yang Qi with the Ripple Divine Skill indeed struck the substitute.

This was a battle between ripples and the substitute. Although neither the Ripple Divine Skill was fully developed, nor the substitute complete, the battle was still overwhelmingly thrilling.

The speed of attacks from both sides was too swift to discern, with only blurred fist shadows visible, accompanied by continuous, thunderous clashes, like a torrential downpour.

If slowed down dozens of times, one would see all of the substitute’s attacks either blocked or deflected by Fang Zhou, while all of Fang Zhou’s punches and palms landed on the substitute.

The substitute was forced backward step by step, its flames and chill dispersed by golden ripples.

General Yaksha, lying on the ground, widened her eyes. Her True Qi had two attributes: Poison Fire, whereas Fang Zhou’s True Qi had four attributes: Yin, Yang, Gold, and Wood, two more than hers.

Gold was the attribute Fang Zhou acquired after cultivating the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique, and Wood came from the Tree Demon Golden Core.

Though General Yaksha could ignore the Gold and Wood attributes, as her fire restrained Gold, Fang Zhou’s True Qi’s inherent Yin Yang Balance made it even more powerful, completely suppressing her Yin attribute.

In the Cultivation World, female cultivators are based on Yin attributes and males on Yang attributes. Having both Yin and Yang attributes is extremely rare.

If one could achieve Yin Yang Balance, they could suppress other single Yang or single Yin attributes.

Fang Zhou preferred to call his Yin Yang Balanced True Qi as Innate Yin-Yang Strange Energy, targeting foolish opponents like this.

The Yin Fire True Qi attached to the substitute was dispersed, and both the flames and chill vanished. It dared not confront Fang Zhou anymore, turning to flee.

"Trying to run after showing off? Stand still for me!"

Seeing the substitute flee, Fang Zhou hastily employed his self-created Ripple Divine Skill—Trembling World!

The ripples enveloping him and the substitute rapidly vibrated, shifting instantly from perception to attack effects.

Trembling World was an indiscriminate AOE, extremely powerful. Previously, its coverage was only five meters; after advancing to the Innate Realm, it reached twenty meters.

Fang Zhou’s body had long adapted to this vibration. The substitute, just about to escape the coverage area, was heavily damaged, as if hammered into the ground, showcasing irregular distortions across its body.

After a few twitches, it disintegrated and vanished; in the distance, General Yaksha, lying on the ground, coughed up blood.

She and the substitute were two sides of the same coin; when the substitute was harmed, she, the Substitute Messenger, suffered as well.

Wounded on top of wounded, General Yaksha was nearly at death’s door. Gritting through the pain, she employed a secret technique, her battered body once again erupting with Poison Fire, burning fiercely.

The Poison Fire spread along the ground around General Yaksha, quickly forming a complex array that enveloped her whole body.

Seeing this, Fang Zhou initially thought General Yaksha intended to self-destruct but quickly realized her intention to escape.

Under the Poison Fire’s flame, General Yaksha’s body swiftly turned translucent—a sign she was not trying to self-destruct.

Fang Zhou hurriedly flew there on the Xuanyuan Sword, seeing that General Yaksha was about to disappear. In desperation, he transformed the Comical Mask into a comical expression, using the Aggro Skill on her.

[Comical Mask: Upon use, the pattern on the mask can change according to one’s intent. When using the Comical Pattern, it can attract all enemy hatred within the target’s field of vision for thirty seconds]

As General Yaksha was waiting to be teleported away by the array, she suddenly bolted upright from her deathbed, struggling with her grievously wounded body to crawl out of the array’s range.

The fiercely burning Poison Fire on her dimmed instantly, disappearing along with the array on the ground, and her translucent body quickly returned to normal.

However, General Yaksha disregarded this, no longer wishing to flee, filled with thoughts only of fighting Fang Zhou to the death.

Fang Zhou finally flew over, landing in front of General Yaksha, arms crossed, staring at her.

General Yaksha, too weak to employ any secret techniques, could only pick up a small stone from the ground with trembling hand and throw it at Fang Zhou.

In the blink of an eye, the thirty seconds passed, and General Yaksha snapped out of her hate trance, dumbfounded.

She hadn’t expected herself to take such a foolish action, sacrificing her only escape route.

Fang Zhou picked up the Xuanyuan Sword, aiming it at her head.

"Wait..."

After all the trouble she caused, General Yaksha was now on the verge of utter exhaustion: "Tell me who you are, let me die knowing."

Here we go again, didn’t you learn enough from the last time?

Fang Zhou nodded: "No problem, but in exchange, you must tell me why you’re so obsessed with the Blood God Mask, and why your substitute could awaken abilities."

According to Luo Xuan’s explanation, the secret technique of the Substitute Messenger is related to the Qiao clan, and the True Mother God Sect wants to capture them for experimentation.

But from General Yaksha’s behavior, her interest in the Blood God Mask seems greater.

Upon hearing Fang Zhou agree, General Yaksha didn’t immediately trust him but weakly said, "I don’t trust you unless you swear, or just kill me now."

Fang Zhou could only raise his hand and take a Heart Demon Oath; if General Yaksha answers his questions, he’ll reveal his identity to her.

If he breaks the oath, may he be violated by women a hundred times.
