Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 63 - 43: Celestial Being_1

Chapter 63: Chapter 43: Celestial Being_1

Translator: 549690339

Silent, deadly silent, an eerie stillness prevailed.

The battlefield that had just been as fiery and indecisive as ever fell into a terrifying silence due to the appearance of one person.

No one dared to make a move, no one dared to speak, even breathing involuntarily suppressed, lest they break this fragile equilibrium.

This… is this the intimidating power of a Grandmaster?

No, not just a Grandmaster, the man before them is definitely not just a mere Grandmaster!

Those present, each one a notable master from either the paths of light or darkness, or from the Buddhist or Demon Sects, all possessed the cultivation of “Condensing Spirit and Unifying Dao”. Though they might slightly fall short when compared to a Grandmaster, the gap was not impossible to bridge.

Take “Heavenly Monarch” Xi Ying, one of the eight great masters of the Demon

Sect; in his early years, he was so hounded by “Evil King Heavenly Blade” Song Que for the clash of their titles that he fled in disgrace into the Western Regions, only returning to the Central Plains in recent years.

Though lesser in strength compared to his current self, the young Song Que was already a master of the dao of blade, and yet Xi Ying still managed to survive his relentless pursuit.

This demonstrates that although Grandmasters are strong, they are not absolutely unbeatable. After all, everyone is at the realm of “Condensing Spirit and Unifying Dao”, and as long as there’s no breakthrough, no matter how strong, there are limits to their power.

But this person…

He is like an insurmountable peak, beyond reach!

As unfathomable as the abyss, impossible to gauge!

Unbeatable, absolutely unbeatable!

Cannot move, mustn’t move at all!

This was the warning screaming in their minds, the shout of primal fear. Masters like them might doubt others, even selves, but they must trust such instincts and premonitions.

Thus, they did not dare to move, not even slightly.

At this moment…

“Dudu!”

A woman soared into the air, her figure graceful and stunningly beautiful — it was Zhu Yuyan, the Underworld Queen of the Demon Sect.

Zhu Yuyan flew out from the woods and arrived at this eerie battlefield. Noticing something was amiss, her gaze first landed on her disciple, then was immediately drawn to the unfamiliar young man.

“Master, Revered Master!”

Although Dudu was subjected to the brunt of the pressure and was even more deterred, upon noticing Zhu Yuyan’s arrival, she still mustered her weak body to turn back and make a face uglier than crying to her.

“Underworld Queen! ”

“Sect Leader!”

“Demoness, halt!”

“Leave the sacred relic behind!”

At this time, masters from both the paths of light and darkness, as well as the Buddhist and Demon Sects, rushed out from Yang Gong’s Treasure.

Upon their arrival, all eyes immediately focused, uncertain and wary of the person in the center.

At this moment, Xu Yang was still examining the sacred relic of the Evil Emperor in his hand.

He could clearly feel that within this yellow jade-like relic, there was an extremely powerful energy contained.

It was the essence of previous Evil Emperors!

It’s said that this peculiar object is a treasure of the Demon Sect, into which every Heavenly Evil Path Leader would pour their life’s energy before death.

Up to this day, this relic had absorbed countless essences from Evil Emperors, becoming a sacred object that people of the Demon Sect dreamt of acquiring, even though almost no one knew how to use it.

Though not the main aim of his journey, obtaining this prize was also satisfying.

Xu Yang smiled, pocketed the relic, and then cast his gaze upon the unsure crowd: “What are you all waiting for?”

Although his words were light, they struck fear into their hearts, and after a moment of silence, then…

“Retreat!!!”

The people of the Demon Sect, without a second word, promptly took flight, retreating backwards.

Such an action directly stunned everyone present.

Those of the Demon Sect, most fixated and determined to acquire the Evil Emperor’s sacred relic, chose to flee as their first course of action?

What did this mean?

Was the man really that terrifying?

The people of the Righteous Path, inwardly contemptuous, subsequently…

“Retreat! ! ! ”

In a fleeting thought, their disdain gave way to realization. Masters from the Mercy Sailing Temple and the Purity Zen Sect also lifted their bodies and rapidly pulled back.

They must retreat, of course they must, for if they couldn’t win, not retreating would be courting death, wouldn’t it?

The Martial World already had a well-established rule: only Grandmasters can stand against Grandmasters!

Since such a figure had appeared, there would naturally be powerhouses of equal caliber to confront them. Those who were not at the level needed to swiftly vacate the area; otherwise, staying there would only get in the way and increase casualties.

Even the members of the Demon Sect, who were deeply obsessed with the sacred relic, were aware of this. How could the masters of the Righteous Path not understand?

So—withdraw!

The crowd was astonished, extracting themselves quickly, all but one person.

That was Dudu.

She too wanted to flee, but facing the man before her, her trembling body couldn’t muster a shred of strength.

Xu Yang paid her no heed, lifting his hands void of any concern, his energy flowing forth.

In an instant…

“Gurgle gurgle!”

A sound of flowing water rose, and in Qu River, an anomaly suddenly appeared.

“Roar!!!”

The river water boiled, dragons howled and soared, and over ten dragon shadows burst forth from the river, shocking all around with their tumultuous and ocean-overturning aura.

Xu Yang

Lifespan: 29/520

Cultivation: Divine Gang Realm

Skills: Slaughter, Eating, Sleeping, Breathing, Medical Treatment, Walking, Archery, Reading, Teaching…

Martial Practice (Diligence Makes Up for Clumsiness, Cleansing Marrow, Eternal Youth, Martial Path Communicates with God, Founder of Martial Scripture, Unity of Heaven and Man)

In the past two years, apart from pondering the Longevity Jue, bitterly practicing the Martial Arts Scripture, and enhancing his power, Xu Yang had also developed a new skill trait—Unity of Heaven and Man!

What is Unity of Heaven and Man?

It is the connectivity of heaven and man, merging as one, and employing the power of man to invoke the capabilities of heaven and earth.

It is one of the abilities that a martial artist possesses after achieving Condensing Spirit and Unifying Dao.

Take Yuwen Huaji as an example, after his cultivation of the Ice Mysterious Power and achieving the state of Condensing Spirit and Unifying Dao; he could stimulate the Gang Yuan within his body, in coordination with the Divine Intent of the icy dao, to enter the state of “Unity of Heaven and Man”. With this, he can summon the power of heaven and earth to create icy crystal frost.

Therefore, whenever Yuwen Huaji unleashes his Ice Mysterious Power, ice will crystallize and snow will cascade; this is the manifestation of Unity of Heaven and Man. In an icy snovvy environment, his power would be vastly enhanced.

This is the Unity of Heaven and Man achieved after “Condensing Spirit and Unifying Dao”.

Today, Xu Yang’s cultivation of martial skills generating the effect of Unity of Heaven and Man follows the same principle.

Only, its effect is even stronger and can stack with Xu Yang’s own abilities.

After all, he himself is a martial artist who has achieved “Condensing Spirit and Unifying Dao” and also possesses the capability of “Unity of Heaven and Man”.

Thus, his own capability combined with the skill traits, the effects of the double “Unity of Heaven and Man”…

“Gurgle gurgle!”

“Roar!!!”

Over ten water dragons surged up from within Qu River, casting a terrifying shadow enveloped with dragon might over the surrounding area. The dragons’ roars shook the wilds and quaked the heavens.

This was the scene at the moment.

The skill traits coupled with his own capabilities, the dual effects of “Unity of Heaven and Man”, had surpassed the extreme limit of the Condensing Spirit Realm.

Underneath the shadow, behind Xu Yang, Dudu knelt directly onto the ground with a “plop” upon witnessing the over ten water dragons soaring up from Qu River with sky-shaking roars.

As for those experts from both the righteous and evil paths who frantically retreated, seeing this spectacle filled them with horror, and they pushed their internal Gang Qi to the limit, fleeing the scene at their utmost speed.

Unity of Heaven and Man?

They, of course, knew what Unity of Heaven and Man was, but even the Unity of Heaven and Man of a Grandmaster was never this exaggerated, overdone, terrifying!

Returning to Yuwen Huaji as an example, his cultivation stood in the middle-upper tier among those of the Condensing Spirit martial artists, but his “Unity of Heaven and Man” could at most conjure a single Ice Mysterious Giant Tiger. Even in an icy landscape where his Ice Mysterious Power was many times greater, it couldn’t possibly reach such an extent.

Not to mention him, even the three Grandmasters, four Holy Monks, and the

Evil King Heavenly Blade, all of whom are at the peak of the Condensing Spirit Ultimate Realm, could not demonstrate such fearsome might through Unity of

Heaven and Man, even in the most favorable environments.

Such power…

“Roar!!!”

While still in horror and unsettled in spirit, amidst their confused thoughts, came the heaven -shaking dragon roar.

Xu Yang deployed his palms, and his qi surged forth, channeling the power of heaven and earth. Over ten water dragons burst forth from Qu River, transforming into thousands of dragon shadow streams, and with a sky-sweeping momentum, they bombarded towards the frightfully retreating crowd.

“Not good!”

“Quick..!!!”

The crowd’s pupils contracted, forcibly halting their retreat. Their internal Gang Yuan surged in response, attempting to block the overwhelming onslaught of water dragon shadows.

Under such an assault, fleeing would mean certain death.

Only by mustering full strength for defense could one hope for a sliver of survival.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

A series of thunderous booms echoed, like deafening thunderclaps, as over ten water dragons split into countless streams, bombarding from the skies, encompassing a hundred feet in radius, and engulfing the figures below.

“Boom rumble rumble!”

After a final thunderous roar, there were no more soaring cries, and the scene of crisscrossing dragon shadows ended with water vapor dispersing into the air.

Experts from the black and white paths, the Buddhist and Demon Sects, masters who’ve achieved “Condensing Spirit and Unifying Dao”, lay on the ground, their fates unknown.

Only a handful of them remained standing, but they too were seriously injured and teetering on the verge of collapse.

This was still the result of the water dragons dispersing and injuring the

crowd.

If the water dragons hadn’t dispersed and had focused their attacks, the scene would undoubtedly have been a bloody carnage with countless individuals bursting to death.

“You… Hmph!!!”

Zhu Yuyan pressed a hand over her chest, her eyes filled with a mix of shock and rage as she looked at Xu Yang. Just as she was about to speak, a gush of fresh blood spurted out, and her faltering body could no longer support itself, tumbling heavily to the ground.

As the leader of the Underworld Queen sect and having cultivated the Heavenly Demon Great Skill to the seventeenth level, being a step away from the Grandmaster realm made her strength not to be underestimated, hence why she received special attention.

As a result, among the last standing few, even with the strongest of them, she was the first to fall.

Fortunately for her, the others could not endure much longer either. The injuries within their bodies erupted, and soon after, they fell to the ground one after another.

In the end, within the battlefield, only Xu Yang was left standing, and there was Dudu, kneeling behind, trembling incessantly.

Just at that moment…

“Whoosh!”

A figure, ghostly as a specter, arrived from nowhere, carrying a surge of chilly wind and a torrent of Demonic Qi, heading straight for Xu Yang with an intimidating force..
