Chapter 785 - 778: Immortal Seal

Chapter 785: Chapter 778: Immortal Seal

On the battlefield, as time went on, both combatants’ injuries grew more severe.

This was especially true for Qianyue Jian. He had previously taken a direct hit from Wan Jun’s attack, leaving his body riddled with wounds. His condition was now even worse.

Even Zhou Yuanjue could sense that his opponent’s life force was beginning to wane.

’Is this how it’s going to end?’

Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had a feeling things weren’t nearly this simple.

Because Qianyue Jian’s eyes were growing brighter and brighter, revealing a terrifying emotion as his will soared.

Suddenly, the damage to his body seemed to reach a critical point. His movements abruptly became sluggish and stiff.

In a battle of this intensity, the slightest hesitation was a massive opening.

Countless phantoms of Zhou Yuanjue’s fists instantly engulfed him. His body sustained continuous damage, almost to the point of triggering his Life Protection Mechanism.

However, at that very moment...

Qianyue Jian’s eyes snapped open.

The crescent blood seal on his brow shattered, and a terrifying wave of Energy instantly burst from his body.

Even Zhou Yuanjue was thrown back by the blast, and the two were once again separated by a considerable distance.

He looked at his opponent.

His broken body stood tall. Though he had been on the verge of death, he now radiated immense power, as if something were helping him defy both logic and death itself.

In that moment, as if in a trance, his opponent’s figure merged with a legendary hero from Donghua that Zhou Yuanjue knew.

With nipples for eyes and navel for a mouth, he danced while brandishing his Gan Qi.

Xing Tian.

His will had helped him endure death.

And so it was with Qianyue Jian.

"There it is, the Extreme Will state. The final outcome is now hard to predict."

In the observation room, the Sacred Lotus member spoke in a grave tone.

"The Moon Trace Lineage uses emotion to channel power. When they are on the verge of death, when intense despair, battle lust, pain, indignation, and all other forms of will merge, they can enter a special state."

"Extreme Will."

"In this state, they can defy death for a limited time. Their most intense emotions will then trigger their greatest power."

And right now, Qianyue Jian was in that very state.

"I never thought I’d actually enter this state,"

"I will defeat you. Consider it my reward."

Qianyue Jian said grimly.

Then, he shot toward Zhou Yuanjue.

He made no move to defend himself.

ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!

Qianyue Jian launched a suicidal assault!

Unafraid, Zhou Yuanjue met him head-on once more.

This clash was different from the last.

He discovered that Qianyue Jian had completely abandoned defending his vitals. Even when his Energy Core was shattered, his movements didn’t falter in the slightest.

His body couldn’t be broken or scattered. It was as if he had truly entered some kind of immortal state.

Zhou Yuanjue had no idea how long this state would last.

Furthermore, with his power boosted and all defense abandoned in favor of pure offense, his Attack Power was on a completely different level than before.

In that brief exchange, injuries rapidly accumulated on his body. The continuous clash meant the damage he sustained gradually overwhelmed his temporary Recovery Power.

His wounds continued to multiply.

"The Moon Trace Lineage’s Extreme Will is practically a cheat code on the Scales Battlefield," the Sacred Lotus member said. "I don’t think a single genius in the entire Mimicry True Realm could face Qianyue Jian head-on while he’s in this state. Unless they have a special way to stall for time, defeat is inevitable."

The Sacred Lotus member watched the holographic screen, shaking his head as he saw Zhou Yuanjue gradually being overwhelmed by the ferocious attacks.

"It’s incredible that Zhou Yuanjue has made it this far. In a way, he’s already won. What’s happening now isn’t a failure of his skill."

The Evil Dragon Life couldn’t help but shake its head as well. "Sometimes, Talent is a hurdle you just can’t get past."

"Zhou Yuanjue’s technique, power, and mindset are all clearly superior to his opponent’s at the same level. But unfortunately, that final ability is something no one can control."

Gradually being pushed onto the back foot, Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes narrowed.

’Immortal, huh?’

’Perfect. I can do that too!’

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

He estimated his remaining Energy reserves, and the twelve meridians within his body began to circulate once more.

This time, the circulation path was winding and complex, centered on his chest, where it vaguely formed a peculiar seal.

HAAA! HAAA!

HAAA! HAAA!

The pores all over his body opened and closed as he breathed violently through his mouth and nose, forcefully absorbing and expelling Energy to activate every cell in his body.

Without any Energy Crystals to replenish himself, he had to use this method to mitigate the move’s massive Energy consumption. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sustain it for long.

’He can be immortal, too!’

His Recovery Ability had once been his greatest trump card, but now, in a battle of this intensity, even it was struggling to keep up with the pace of the fight.

However, the convergence of his twelve meridians and the fusion with the Rebirth’s Tendrils gave him the chance to reclaim that ultimate ability.

The name of this technique was:

True Vein Seal Technique, Immortal Seal!

He was, after all, the man once known as the Immortal bird!

The Southern Dipper Immortal Seat re-formed on his chest, its appearance seemingly no different than before.

But its actual effect was a world of difference.

"Now, let’s see which of us breaks first!"

In that instant, Zhou Yuanjue charged Qianyue Jian again, having also abandoned all defense.

ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!

On one side was a body that would not break, where all damage seemed to be merely accumulating.

On the other was a body that, though damaged, recovered in the blink of an eye.

Inside the observation room, watching the two figures clashing wildly on the battlefield, both the Evil Dragon Life and the Sacred Lotus member were stunned into silence.

"That kid... how is he not dying either?"

"Could he have Extreme Will, too?"

"Is he from a lost Bloodline of the Moon Trace Race, left behind on some distant Low level Civilization?"

After a long moment, the Evil Dragon Life finally spoke.

"..."

The Sacred Lotus member said nothing, because he had no idea what to say.

’Just how much more is this guy, Zhou Yuanjue, hiding?’

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The exchange of blows reached a fever pitch, and Qianyue Jian’s will began to falter.

Extreme Will was not invincible.

The ability only lasted for a very limited time.

It was like the peak of an extreme human emotion, which can only be sustained for a moment. If it went on too long, a person would die from the sheer intensity of their own emotions, no enemy attack needed.

What’s more, Zhou Yuanjue’s performance had shaken his confidence.

’Why? Why can’t I kill him either?!’

BOOM!

The final exchange of blows ended. Zhou Yuanjue stood his ground, panting heavily.

On the other side, Qianyue Jian had collapsed. The moment his Extreme Will state vanished, his body instantly disintegrated into a pool of sludge.

BUZZ!

A pillar of light instantly descended from the sky and enveloped his remains, signifying he had lost all combat ability and lost the fight.

In the instant the pillar of light carried him from the Dream Realm battlefield, his only remaining, intact head turned to look at Zhou Yuanjue, his eyes filled with confusion.

"How could you not die either?"
