Chapter 543 - 350: Nine-Nine Sealing Element

BOOM!!

As he spoke, Sword Gu lunged forward. Dust flew in the darkness as terrifying power erupted from his body and surged into the massive Flesh and Blood Sword in his hand.

GULP!!

The Flesh and Blood Sword suddenly swelled. At the same time, in some unknown location, the flesh on one of the Ten Devouring Swords among a group of Flesh and Blood Sword Gu rapidly withered. The blade snapped, as if its life force had been completely devoured.

SCREEE!

Sword Gu slashed. Black-purple Sword Qi erupted from the massive sword, but this time it didn’t form a blade. Instead, it coalesced into a twisted Fierce Ghost a hundred meters across. The Primordial Qi shattered the air and warped space, unleashing a piercing blast that sounded like the wailing of ghosts and demons.

Ten Devourers, Ghost Demon!!

The hundred-meter-wide, black-purple Fierce Ghost almost completely blotted out the vision of everyone on the Magic Altar. Its terrifying Primordial Qi fluctuations tore apart the Natural Primordial Qi over a wide area, even distorting the starlight that enveloped the Magic Altar.

Clearly, the Magic Altar’s own protective Array was not enough to withstand an attack from such an expert.

As Sword Gu’s attack drew near, its terrifying might not only overwhelmed their sight but also eroded their very souls. An attack from a master of the Divine Techniques realm was not something a Martial Artist of the Sensing realm could hope to withstand. A dreadful aura of death closed in. Only by facing it head-on could they truly comprehend its power.

The Wansheng Sword Demon, Dugu Xing!!

Watching the approaching form of the Fierce Ghost, the lightning in Qiu Qing’s eyes burned even more fiercely.

In all these years, he had only managed to reach the high-level Innate realm, still a considerable distance from the Divine Techniques realm. But with the aid of the Array, he was not without a fighting chance!

SWOOSH!!

With a single step, his massive body shot into the air. The lightning around him surged violently, coalescing into innumerable, complex talismanic forms in midair that drew upon the surrounding Natural Primordial Qi.

Beneath his feet, lightning spun to form a wheel, allowing him to hover in midair and break past a certain speed limit.

Thunderfire Wheel!!

At the same time, he thrust out his massive palm. Innumerable talismans converged there, forming a Thunder Seal. On the seal, the forms of several characters were faintly visible—a strange ancient script that seemed to possess a mystical power.

RUMBLE!!

The moment the seal appeared, the surrounding Natural Primordial Qi went into an uproar. A low rumble of thunder echoed from the sky as the very heavens began to change.

Thunder Monarch’s Mighty Manifestation Seal!!

Once this seal appeared, all the thunder and lightning Qi between heaven and earth was his to command, as if the Thunder Monarch himself had manifested in the mortal realm.

With the Thunderfire Wheel at his feet and the Thunder Monarch Seal in his hand.

In the body of a mortal, he performed the work of Deities.

This was the ultimate offensive forbidden Magic of the Red Heart Sect!

It was a forbidden Magic because the backlash was immense. Even a Martial Artist at the Peak of Innate would struggle to withstand the Primordial Qi backlash from forcibly wielding such vast amounts of thunder and lightning Qi to act as the Thunder Monarch. The technique placed an extreme demand on one’s physical fortitude; it was a blade that cut both ways, injuring the user as much as the enemy.

Only a powerful Martial Artist wearing the Red Heart Sect’s Supreme Treasure, the Thunderfire Golden Armor, could minimize the backlash from such a terrifying forbidden Magic.

But at this very moment, Qiu Qing had no other choice. He could only unleash his strongest power if he had any hope of overcoming this crisis.

"Heavenly thunder, descend! Annihilate all evil!!"

Qiu Qing roared as the Thunder Monarch’s Seal in his hand collided with the attacking Screaming Ghost Demon.

BZZZZT!!

Terrifying arcs of lightning spread out, weaving a massive, hundred-meter-wide spiderweb that tore through the night’s darkness. Any Yin Sha Qi that touched it was instantly vaporized.

Terrifying cracks spread across the black-purple form of the Fierce Ghost under the assault of the lightning. After a brief stalemate, it violently exploded.

He blocked it!!

On the Magic Altar, everyone’s spirits lifted. The power Qiu Qing had just displayed far exceeded their expectations. ’As expected of one of the top figures in the Red Heart Sect!’

However, Qiu Qing dared not relax in the slightest. Lightning was arcing from beneath his skin, the terrifying thunder Qi rapidly destroying his body’s tissues.

He knew this was not his opponent’s limit.

"Interesting. To think you could actually block one of my attacks. It seems you’ve improved quite a bit over the years. So, how about this one?"

A strange smile played on Sword Gu’s lips. He had only just launched an attack, yet an even stronger surge of power erupted from within him.

In some secret location, two more of the Ten Devouring Swords suddenly aged and crumbled to dust.

BANG!!

The greatsword in Sword Gu’s hand swelled once more as he slashed out.

SCREEE! SCREEE!

Two overlapping, ghastly howls echoed as the hundred-meter-wide Fierce Ghost manifested once more. This time, however, it had two heads, and the terrifying fluctuation of its power was nearly double what it was before!

Ten Devourers Two: Twin Ghost Demon!!

’How is this possible? Was an attack of that magnitude just a casual strike?! He didn’t need any preparation for the Technique or time to gather power, yet he unleashed an even stronger blow!’

Everyone’s faces turned incredibly grim. ’What kind of monster is this?!’

’The attack he launched at the South Mansion earlier was enough to put a Divine Techniques master under considerable pressure. It shouldn’t have been without a cost! Yet he seems completely unaffected, attacking again and again with no signs of fatigue?!’

’Is this the "Infinite" of the Rebirth Palace? Is there truly no cost to using it so frequently?’

’Perhaps he really succeeded back then. Did he overcome the drawbacks of the Rebirth Palace’s Ultimate Skill and elevate it to a more perfect state?!’
