Chapter 550: Chapter 46 Suppression
Beneath the towering Heavenly Giant Statue, Qing Yu suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
’How strange, why do I feel this way?’
Ordinary people might not pay much attention to such feelings, but Qing Yu, who had cultivated Daoist Skill and was extremely proficient in the way of Heavenly Mechanism, would not take these whims as coincidental.
With the Heavenly Son’s Qi Observation Skill in motion, Qing Yu looked around with sharp eyes, examining the Qi of the wild from every direction.
Then, because he was disturbed by the Cold Eunuch, the sensation of being watched from afar by Fengming Pavilion felt particularly strong; Qing Yu could tell with just one look.
Looking up, it was as if he was gazing into a pair of invisible phoenix eyes in the sky, and suddenly he heard a cold snort near his ear.
’It seems I’ve been targeted.’
Although Qing Yu had not shown himself much during this period, the Proposal of the Heavenly Giant Statue he had made was always in the public eye.
Seeing the Heavenly Giant Statue, one would unconsciously think of the one who made the suggestion, so even though Qing Yu was not in the Northern Zhou, his legend was still being talked about everywhere.
It was only natural for Feng Mingxiao to notice him.
However, this ill-intent was captured by Qing Yu.
’It seems my future days in the Northern Zhou will be difficult.’
Being watched by a Divinity Realm warrior? It would be odd if things went smoothly.
At this moment, Feng Jiu declared, "My beloved officials, you may disperse."
The Hundred Officials retreated in an exceptionally tacit understanding, not excluding the rebels like Liu Maoxing and Lan Feihong.
After all, this place was about to become a battlefield of the True Pill Realm. Those who lingered probably felt their lives were too long.
Yi Qianshan did not stop the officials from leaving; after all, even if they pulled Feng Jiu down from power, the court would still need these officials to sustain it. Any purge would have to wait until the situation stabilized.
In fact, it was precisely because they sensed that after the Heavenly Giant Statue was completed, Feng Jiu would initiate a purge that these people loyal to Feng Tianming and Feng Qiwu were so eager to seize this opportunity for their final counterattack.
"The officials have left, are you ready to surrender without a fight, you incompetent emperor?" Yi Qianshan sneered as he saw that all the officials had dispersed and there were no guards or others approaching.
"Amitabha," Zen Master Bai Kong chanted a Buddhist mantra, "If Your Majesty would cease this resistance, it could still make for a grand tale."
"A grand tale? It’s more like a joke. To be forced into abdication by a group of traitors and rebels like you." Feng Jiu retorted with a raised eyebrow and mocking tone.
"What of it? Today, you will step down, whether you like it or not."
Yi Qianshan, not wanting to waste words, stamped his foot on the ground, and with the force of ten thousand jun, the earth trembled. He then leapt into the air and brought his palm smashing down like a mighty peak descending.
"It is indeed time for me to step down, but unfortunately, not to abdicate," Feng Jiu said as he leaped backward, soaring toward the Heavenly Giant Statue.
"Hmm, think you can escape?"
With a cold snort from Yi Qianshan, the pressing palm force descended like mountains tumbling, and the ground began to sink slowly under the pressure of the Qi Force.
"Of course, I can escape."
Unnoticed until now, a figure clad in white leaped in front of Feng Jiu, pushed him with a single palm towards the giant statue, and with another hand holding a sword, he raised it, forming a Qi Shield of Three Elements Returning to Origin in front of him. All the oncoming Qi force, upon contact with the Qi Shield, dispersed as snow does under the spring sun, breaking down into nothing.
"Boom—"
The heavily descending palm force struck the spherical Qi Shield, forcing it back onto the high platform. Dust billowed, and in an instant, the platform collapsed, leaving only about half of its original height.
"Damned demon path, you’re courting death."
Yi Qianshan slipped on a pair of gloves forged from dark iron and thundered his punch at the remaining base of the high platform.
He had a hunch earlier that the opponent’s Qi Shield had not been broken and that the demon path was likely unharmed. However, their power was ultimately inferior to his own by more than a notch—it was simply a delusion for someone with such strength to think they could block both him and Zen Master Bai Kong.
On the other side, Bai Kong lifted his palm, and a tremendous suction force raised a spiraling wind of Qi Force, intending to pull Feng Jiwu back.
Yet out of the blue, a dragon’s roar sounded, and atop the Heavenly Giant Statue, countless Arrays lit up, the golden light of the Dragon Vein Qi enveloping Feng Jiwu, warding off all external Qi Mechanisms.
"How is this possible? This statue should have been an ordinary object!" Zen Master Bai Kong exclaimed in shock.
Considering that the statue had been advised by Taoist Qingyu, the Director of Imperial Observatory, he and Yi Qianshan and the others could hardly ignore it.
In fact, to install destructive mechanisms, Bai Kong and Yi Qianshan had entered the Heavenly Giant Statue on more than one occasion. But no matter how many times they saw it, they could only conclude that the statue had no mystical qualities and was merely mundane.
But now, countless Arrays were illuminated on the statue. Who could explain to Bai Kong what was happening? With so many Arrays, they shouldn’t have failed to notice anything.
"You will all be utterly defeated." As these words were spoken, Feng Jiwu’s form entered a Mechanical Door that suddenly appeared on the surface of the statue, vanishing completely from Bai Kong’s sight.
At the same time, the bronze statue began to emit golden patterns, from the bottom up, with the Dragon Vein Qi slowly infiltrating the statue.
"Boom—"
A dull thud sounded as Yi Qianshan’s iron fist once more struck the colorless Qi Shield, but this time, his full-powered iron punch still failed to break through the shield.
"You have certainly lost," stated Qingyu, enveloped by threads of Earth Essence Qi.
Earth Dominating Technique, absorbing Earth Essence Qi, power increased sixfold.
After a period of numerous battles, particularly the harrowing escape under Xiao Qianxiu’s sword and the confrontation with Xiong Ba, along with Xiong Ba’s martial arts enlightenment, Qingyu’s role in the past month was not limited to setting up the Heavenly Giant Statue.
Having reached the second reincarnation of the Golden Core Nine Reincarnations, Qingyu had also made progress with the Earth Dominating Technique, now able to amplify his power six times by absorbing Earth Essence Qi.
"Yin Yang Pure Yang Qi."
Pure Yin, Fierce Yang, the two energies merged to become one, twisting into the Taiji Formation in tones of red and blue, as Qingyu imprinted a handprint upon Yi Qianshan’s iron fist.
"Boom——"
With a thunderous blast, Yi Qianshan, who was nearing the Peak of the True Pill Realm, was actually repelled.
Qi Force thundered, the might of the Yin Yang Pure Yang Qi not yet dissipated, chasing down Yi Qianshan who had just unleashed a killing blow.
"Master Yi, this monk will assist you. Heart-Proof Buddha Palm."
Bai Kong radiated Buddha Light, striking with a grand Buddha Palm at the relentless Yin Yang Qi.
However, at the moment Bai Kong struck, his energy suddenly weakened by nearly twenty percent.
Being suppressed right at the moment of action caused his palm to strike with less than seventy percent of its potential force. After dispersing the Yin Yang Pure Yang Qi, it dissipated powerlessly.
"What’s going on?" Bai Kong asked incredulously.
"It’s the statue," Yi Qianshan said through clenched teeth, glaring at the sixty-six zhang tall Heavenly Giant Statue, "The Arrays on the statue are drawing in the Dragon Vein Qi, suppressing our power."
The Northern Zhou’s Nine Dragon Sky Array had the effect of suppressing power, but since the battle in the Divine Capital, after the Dragon Vein was severed, the Nine Dragon Sky Array only had the ability to trigger a self-destructive burst.
But now, under the support of the Heavenly Giant Statue, the Nine Dragon Sky Array was once more unleashing part of its power. Perhaps it was still far from a complete repair, but it could still exert some of the Great Array’s force.
This was also why Yi Qianshan was so easily repelled.
