Chapter 554 - 553: Thousand Leaf Water God Seal

Chapter 554: Chapter 553: Thousand Leaf Water God Seal

A chill ran down half of Qin Feng’s body, and he hastily retreated.

A piercing saber light grazed past Qin Feng’s body, its sharp, cold gleam like a bolt of silk.

Qin Feng felt a chill deep in his soul, his gaze falling upon the strange and peculiar long saber.

’A Pseudo-True Artifact!’

A True Artifact, even a Pseudo-True Artifact, provided an irreplaceable boost to a Martial Artist.

Especially for a genius like Mo Ao, possessing such a treasure would increase their strength severalfold, or even tenfold.

Thinking of a True Artifact, Qin Feng couldn’t help but recall the Thousand Leaf Water God Black Lotus.

That was a top-tier True Artifact.

If Qin Feng wished, he could use the wisp of Water Element Innate Undying Spiritual Light deep within his Dantian to summon it at any time.

However, Qin Feng couldn’t do that right now.

It would be far too easy to expose himself.

For a Martial Artist in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm to possess a True Artifact was an enviable matter. If word got out, he wouldn’t be able to escape the greedy gazes of others, even with the Star Sect backing him.

However, even though he couldn’t summon the True Artifact, it didn’t mean Qin Feng had no way to counter Mo Ao’s Pseudo-True Artifact.

BOOM!

At that moment, myriad rings of lightning erupted from the long saber in Mo Ao’s hand with a violent thunderclap.

’The Violent Thunder Saber!’

Seeing this saber, the expressions of Long Jiu, Ao Wuxu, and even Lan Rou’Er changed.

The three of them had different looks.

Long Jiu was overjoyed, Ao Wuxu was worried, and Lan Rou’Er was indifferent.

The Violent Thunder Saber was a peculiar weapon in Mo Ao’s possession.

It was a peerless, wondrous saber forged with thunderbolt as its bone and a Venerable Level Thunder Dragon Soul as its spiritual essence. Supplemented by the Thunder Origin that Mo Ao cultivated, its power was unbelievably tyrannical.

And when coupled with the Dragon Palace’s Ultimate Skill, the Thunderbolt Fire Profound Technique, its might was horrifying.

"Brat, did you really think you could act so presumptuously before me, the Crown Prince? Today, I will let you truly witness the cultivation of a powerhouse on the Sea Realm Pride Ranking!"

A cold voice came from within the monstrous waves. "First strike, Shattered by Thunder!"

BOOM!

A deafening thunderous light exploded!

Qin Feng’s expression changed. The Water Origin was merely Mo Ao’s secondary origin; his primary cultivation was actually the Thunder Origin.

All this time, Mo Ao had only been using the Mystical Meaning of his secondary origin to fight him.

BOOM!

A saber light like ten thousand thunderbolts cleaved through the water, resembling a rushing thunderclap that appeared above Qin Feng’s head in an instant.

The searing, flaming thunderbolt saber gleam was as hot as a furnace of molten lava. It incinerated anything it touched, too rigid to be blocked and too fluid to be parried. It could boil the seas and torch the heavens, evaporating everything.

Qin Feng’s face fell. Countless Hand Seals flashed through his fingers as surging Black Water True Power wove out from his ten digits, forming ancient Runes one after another.

"Chaos Water Tribulation!"

BOOM!

Countless beams of water light shot up from around him, explosively forming a gigantic black vortex that shrouded the space above his head.

BOOM!

The incredibly scorching saber light of thunderous Li Fire smashed into the watery light.

An extremely hot Thunder Power passed through the thick watery light, causing countless units of heavy One Yuan Black Water to evaporate.

This was utterly astonishing.

One had to understand that One Yuan Black Water was formed from the congealed essence of countless strands of Water Spiritual Qi. Condensing an entire lake would only yield a few drops of it.

Yet now, it was being directly evaporated.

The roiling, scorching Thunder Power surged along the One Yuan Black Water. Qin Feng’s Qi and Blood, and even his soul, felt like they were boiling. A bead of sweat trickled down his forehead as torrents of Black Water True Power poured from his hands, drawing the boundless Water Spiritual Qi from the ocean into the sphere of water formed by the Chaos Water Tribulation.

PFFT! PFFT!

The saber light was neutralized layer by layer by the power of the Chaos Water Tribulation.

Seeing the strike neutralized, Qin Feng’s expression became extremely grave. The tyranny of the experts on the Sea Realm’s pride rankings far exceeded his imagination.

An ordinary Martial Arts Giant would likely have been killed instantly by that single strike.

Even he had paid a certain price to withstand it.

A wisp of unparalleled, domineering Saber Intent, like a great sun, had pierced his body. It was constantly evaporating his Qi and Blood, and even his True Power.

His skin turned as red as a lobster, and his whole body felt like a scorching fireball, constantly causing the surrounding seawater to evaporate.

’This isn’t just a simple Thunder Origin. It’s a compound Thunder-Fire Origin! This Mo Ao is truly terrifying!’

As he thought this, his Black Water True Power shifted, transforming back into Star River True Power. The surging Star River True Power enveloped the sun-like Saber Intent, instantly refining it into nothingness.

The Star River True Power circulated, absorbing the extremely abundant Water Spiritual Qi in the surroundings, and his power recovered rapidly.

Far away, seeing Qin Feng standing on the water’s surface as if nothing had happened, an incredibly cold glint flashed through Mo Ao’s eyes.

"Good. You’re quite the figure to be able to block my first strike. But the second strike will be your doom!"

A trace of unruly coldness flickered across Mo Ao’s chiseled, handsome face. He spun the long saber in his hand, and a heat like that of a great sun appeared on its edge.

"Thunderbolt Fire Profound Technique, Second Form: Six Gods Burned!"

A world-shocking Saber Intent, blazing like a great sun of thunderous Li Fire, arose from his body as a piercing saber light flared out. An eternal, undying flame surged forth, seemingly a culmination of all phenomena of combustion, light, and heat. Majestic to the extreme, it burned endlessly and intensely, detonating the Void and illuminating time itself. It sublimated matter, boiled energy, turned wood to ash, earth to magma, metal to molten liquid, and water to steam—incinerating All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

The brilliant light enveloped the area, and within a hundred-zhang radius, the seawater instantly evaporated down to a depth of ten thousand zhang.

Several li away, the figures of Long Jiu, Ao Wuxu, and Lan Rou’Er felt a terrifying, scorching saber gleam sweep toward them, and they fled madly for dozens of li.

The three of them felt such terror even from several li away.

For Qin Feng, who was right in front of it, the feeling was even more intense.

At this moment of life and death, Qin Feng’s mind tensed to its absolute limit, and he entered an indescribable state.

His ten fingers intertwined, activating one Hand Seal after another. The Star River True Power in his body transformed into ancient symbols along with the Hand Seals, and an extremely profound Seal Technique emerged from the superposition of countless Hand Seals.

"Hah! Thousand Leaf Water God Seal!"

A small lotus took shape in his palm.

The instant this water-blue lotus formed.

WENG! WENG!

The Void seemed to freeze.

In the next moment, the power of the wisp of Innate Undying Spiritual Light deep within Qin Feng’s Dantian was triggered. An invisible force surged out from the Innate Undying Spiritual Light. Guided by the sealing of Qin Feng’s hands, it combined with the Star River True Power in his body, forming a gigantic Black Lotus.

The Thousand Leaf Water God Black Lotus!

This was a Martial Art that Qin Feng had created by combining his own comprehension of the Innate Undying Spiritual Light and the Thousand Leaf Water God Black Lotus. It was a technique that used the Innate Undying Spiritual Light for defense.

Although it was only a rudimentary application, it had completely inherited a portion of the Thousand Leaf Water God Black Lotus’s absolute defensive capabilities.

BOOM!

The blazing saber light cleaved into the black water curtain formed by the Thousand Leaf Water God Black Lotus surrounding Qin Feng, and it exploded violently.

Like a great sun suddenly exploding, the surging power violently tore open the barriers of the Void. The scorching saber light swept out rampantly, creating a level twenty-one tsunami and earthquake centered on Qin Feng.

The heavens collapsed and the earth sundered; it seemed as if the very sea was shattered by this one strike.

BOOM!

In the distance, the three of them watched this terrifying scene and gasped.

Ao Wuxu’s face was deathly pale. "It’s over. Yu Hua is completely finished. A strike this terrifying... it’s simply beyond the limits of a Martial Arts Giant!"

Lan Rou’Er’s expression was indifferent, but her delicate body was trembling.

Long Jiu sneered. "He brought this on himself. Did he really think a mere Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator could contend with a Venerable-level genius on the Sea Realm Pride Ranking? The only reason Prince Mo Ao agreed to his conditions was to placate him, biding his time to free up his hands and kill him. He fell for it!"

After speaking, Long Jiu glanced at Lan Rou’Er and said, "Ninth Princess, you don’t need to mind the Third Prince’s previous words. It was all just an expedient measure to lull this brat into a false sense of security!"
