Chapter 479 - 478: How to Use the Holy Liquid

Chapter 479: Chapter 478: How to Use the Holy Liquid

On the sixth level, Qin Ya lay on the ground, completely exhausted. Not far away, however, his clone showed no sign of fatigue. Its aura was still powerful as it held the Breaking Army Spear, its expression disdainful and superior, a hint of contempt in its eyes.

Qin Ya sighed to himself. ’How did I never realize I was this obnoxious before?’

Limit, self, transcendence...

The words of the mysterious voice echoed in his mind. It sounded simple, but it was anything but. Besides, he only had three days. What could he possibly accomplish?

In three days, he probably couldn’t even achieve a breakthrough in his Cultivation. No, if it were just about breaking through, that would be too simple. This trial couldn’t be so dull.

’Heh, a version of me constantly at my limit?’

Qin Ya gave a cold smile, then pushed himself to his feet and swallowed an Elixir.

A short while later, Qin Ya had absorbed the Elixir’s Medicinal Power. He raised the Breaking Army Spear, his gaze fixed on the clone before him. A flash of War Intent crossed his eyes as he said, "Come on, let’s fight again!"

Without another word, the clone raised its spear and charged at Qin Ya. The Power of Nature erupted from it, tinged with an aura of Destruction!

In an instant, the raging flames of battle ignited once more within the grand hall.

Mysterious Speed, the Four Symbols Mysteries, the Mysteries of Destruction, Spear Technique, Martial Skills, Mysterious Techniques... Qin Ya unleashed all sorts of attacks, generating astonishing fluctuations of power!

Qin Ya even brought out the Ting Xiao Sword. But aside from lacking the Sword Spirit, the version produced by the clone was every bit as powerful as the genuine article.

"Kid, you’ve really run into a tough spot now."

Qin Ya unleashed his Mysteries of Destruction, suddenly slashing out with a burst of Sword Qi. Hearing the gloating tone from Ting Xiao, he couldn’t help but purse his lips and say, "This is a Saint’s inheritance. If it were that easy to obtain, wouldn’t it be a joke?"

Outside, the crowd watched the explosive battle, marveling endlessly.

Meanwhile, on the sixth level, Li Peiyi held her longsword, a sharp aura erupting from her that shot toward the Nine Heavens. After she destroyed the last Divine Shadow, a trace of fatigue showed on her face, but the excited War Intent in her eyes hadn’t diminished in the slightest; in fact, it burned even hotter.

"Seventh level, here I come!!"

SWOOSH! With a flash of white light, Li Peiyi suddenly stepped onto the seventh level. She didn’t run into Qin Ya. Instead, she arrived in a great hall and encountered the exact same situation he had. Staring at the mirror before her, she abruptly unleashed a sword strike.

With a BOOM, the mirror shattered.

A figure identical to Li Peiyi walked out, the War Intent burning in its eyes just as fiercely. Without a word, the two of them let out a great shout and clashed.

"To be able to fight myself—what a privilege!"

"My thoughts exactly!"

They exchanged no more words. There was nothing but the fight.

When the people outside saw this, they gasped in shock, while the members of Divine Sword Mountain couldn’t help but cheer. Even Helian Lie roared with laughter.

"Haha, Peiyi has truly brought glory to Divine Sword Mountain."

"After three hundred years, my Divine Sword Mountain finally has another peerless prodigy who has stepped onto the seventh level, one with the potential to reach the rank of Venerable. Excellent, excellent!"

The other Divine Sword Disciples looked on with expressions of deep admiration.

In their respective chambers, only Qin Ya and Li Peiyi were now locked in battle.

"Godslaying Technique!!"

With a low shout, Qin Ya once again unleashed the Mysterious God Destruction Technique. A terrifying, destructive figure reappeared, and streams of destructive True Essence swirled around him.

"Godslaying Technique!!"

But then, the clone before him also erupted with the Mysteries of Destruction, unleashing the exact same Godslaying Technique. The violent, terrifying aura it exuded was in no way inferior to Qin Ya’s!

"Ha, is that all the original is capable of?"

"Why don’t you try me and find out?"

"Fight!!"

The battle that erupted between the two madmen, their minds filled with the desire for Destruction, was like a clash between two ancient Fierce Beasts—bloody, savage, brutal, and devoid of all reason!

The frenzied energy stirred up turbulence in the void, and endless gales swept through the hall. The Energy Aftermath leaking from their battle was enough to threaten the life of a Martial Arts King!

BOOM! In the end, both were wounded, but the clone recovered in an instant. Qin Ya, on the other hand, was in a much more miserable state, covered in injuries and pushed to the absolute limit of exhaustion.

’Damn it, this is basically cheating.’

Gazing at the clone, which was still full of vigor, Qin Ya grimaced and swallowed another Elixir to heal his wounds. He had now lost to his clone twice in a row, but it wasn’t without its gains. At the very least, his control over his own energy had become more precise.

This was thanks to the clone, which was constantly operating at his limits. Although it was strong, it was ultimately just a clone, created using his previous self as a baseline. It had no room for improvement, but Qin Ya was different.

He could learn. He could improve. He was constantly absorbing the clone’s combat experience and using it to strengthen himself... After absorbing the Elixir’s Medicinal Power, Qin Ya stood up once more, raised his Breaking Army Spear, and charged the clone again. "Fight!"

Before long, however, Qin Ya was defeated again. Just as he was about to take another Elixir, his brow suddenly furrowed. ’My rate of improvement is fastest during battle, and I only have three days. If I stop to heal every time I get injured, I’ll waste too much time... That’s it, I have an idea!’

Qin Ya’s eyes lit up. He took out over a hundred drops of Holy Liquid and gulped them down. A tremendously vast energy surged through his body. The injuries he had sustained from fighting the clone began to heal at a visible rate, and within a few breaths, he was as good as new.

’This Holy Liquid is truly amazing. Its effect is comparable to a Spirit Pill.’

The corners of Qin Ya’s mouth turned up slightly. Forcibly suppressing the discomfort caused by the conflicting energies, he charged forward and once again engaged the clone. Now, whenever he was injured in the heat of battle, the Holy Liquid Energy in his body would immediately repair the damage.

It was, in effect... a simplified version of an Undying Body!

"Heh, now things are a little more fair!"

Qin Ya grinned, no longer concerned about injuries, and threw himself into the fight with all his might. His exquisite Spear Technique, combined with his various Mysterious Powers, flowed like water.

Any wounds the clone inflicted on him were healed by the Holy Liquid Energy in the span of a few breaths. Given the clone’s current attack strength and frequency, the hundred-plus drops of Holy Liquid that Qin Ya had just swallowed would be enough to last him for more than a day.

Outside, Xu Zhenhong and the others were dumbfounded.

They naturally knew what Holy Liquid was; their Four Great Hidden Sects had some in stock as well. But they had never seen anyone use Holy Liquid like this.

"What a spendthrift! He must have swallowed at least a hundred drops of Holy Liquid just now! That’s almost a tenth of my Cloud Sea Immortal Sect’s entire stock!"

"Holy crap, is your Kunyun Palace really that rich? To give a mere Celestial Human Disciple so much Holy Liquid... isn’t that a bit too extravagant?"

"Uh... We never gave him any Holy Liquid. The kid must have obtained it as a reward during the trials. But for the prize to be this generous..."

"So, Holy Liquid can be used like this... I’ve really learned something today. Still, I doubt you could find many people in the entire Azure Sky Realm who could afford to use Holy Liquid in such a way."

The two tireless monsters continued their fierce battle, unleashing all sorts of powerful techniques. In the blink of an eye, they had been fighting for nearly a day and a night.
