Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1621: 872: Fengfengzi (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension...
Hmm!
Zhao Sheng lifted his gaze and spotted that unkempt head.
His heart skipped a beat right away, and a subtle shift appeared on his face.
Even though the head's look had transformed drastically, after more than two hundred thousand years apart, Zhao Sheng identified it immediately.
Who else but Fengfengzi could it be?
Yet Taiqing Sect's records stated that Fengfengzi had fallen to the Heart Demon Tribulation twenty thousand years back, overrun by countless Devilish Thoughts right at the end.
Clearly those accounts were wrong. Fengfengzi lived on, even if just as a lone head.
No matter how much strength lingered, given his pre-Ascension Absolute Peak level, even a single head demanded caution.
“It’s him!”
“Ancestor, that's the powerful foe I mentioned!” Hu Qianqian snapped back to awareness and cried out in ecstatic delight, eyes brimming with joyful tears.
Swoosh!
Fengfengzi's head materialized before Zhao Sheng like Instantaneous Movement, face nearly bumping into his.
Zhao Sheng flashed back several miles in retreat, eyeing the eerie head warily, poised to dash into the Burial Immortal Ruins anytime.
“Hehehe, kid, you've got some solid backbone,” Fengfengzi chuckled: “…You catch my fancy, so I won't devour you. Bow and take me as master. I'll not just let you live but pass on the Supreme Great Method too.”
By now, Fengfengzi had surveyed the ruined spiritual realm and noted the Wuxiang Demon Sect disciples almost all slain, sparking his “talent appreciation”.
Else, with his haughty nature, he'd never address Zhao Sheng so “politely”.
“Big words! You want me to call you master? Look at that ghostly state you're in!”
With those words, Zhao Sheng's frame ballooned to sixty-nine feet tall, making the nearby void tremble and warp fiercely.
This spiritual realm seemed unable to support his huge “size”, on the brink of crumbling.
Witnessing this, Zhao Sheng felt thrilled, sensing a chance for triumph.
“Hehehe, brat, you lack vision. Back then, myriad geniuses and heroes begged to be my disciples, but I scorned them. Last chance: submit and survive, or defy and perish! Choose!”
“Uh?” Zhao Sheng's thoughts stirred, showing feigned doubt as he pondered intently.
He seemed to mull benefits and risks, yet secretly activated the Mysterious Skill, fine-tuning the Giant Power Battle Body to maximum.
At the same time, vast mana floods poured into the Five Directions Treasure Mirror.
The Five Directions Treasure Mirror glowed with unmatched radiance, slowly manifesting a colossal giant spirit inside it.
Each face of the five-sided mirrors held a Giant Spirit Dharma Image matching its wielder.
After over ten breaths, Fengfengzi grew irked and barked: “Brat, live or die?”
“I wish…” Zhao Sheng caught the sinister edge in its voice and dragged out his reply on purpose:
“I wish… to slay you!”
The moment ‘kill’ escaped his lips, Zhao Sheng dropped low, his right fist blazing brighter than countless suns.
Boom!
He unleashed a fierce punch ahead, fist smashing the void, releasing unimaginable pure force.
The void buckled under that sheer, immense “power”, exploding into shards and carving a massive hole hundreds of feet wide.
Myriad space rifts burst from the gap, sprawling across hundreds of miles in a thick web of time-space cracks.
Infinite space-time tempests raged from the fissures, ravaging the spiritual realm.
Fengfengzi's eyes bulged in rage, hair bristling: “You dare!”
Whoosh!
He exhaled a blast of dark qi into the emptiness.
The dark qi morphed into a vast black tempest blotting the sky, engulfing the whole spiritual realm.
As the tempest swept by, all time-space rifts sealed shut and vanished, the chaos calming at once.
The spiritual realm, near ruin, steadied swiftly.
But… things had changed forever!
With Zhao Sheng's punch tearing the spiritual realm's barrier, ominous tribulation clouds amassed above the Storm Sea.
A gigantic frozen eye materialized deep in the clouds, its stare coldly detached, scanning the waters below.
That gaze projected boundless dread, piercing to the “abomination” lurking in the spiritual realm's core.
Boom, boom…
Lightning cracked through the tribulation clouds as blood-red tribulation dragons surged from the eye, coiling amid the clouds, primed to plunge and eradicate the “abomination”.
Yet before the dragons could attack, the torn spiritual realm got patched by the black qi, hiding Fengfengzi once more.
“Hehehe, I misread you!
You're one of the rare ones I've erred on in over two hundred thousand years.
I truly like you,”
“Hehe, after eons of slumber, I'm utterly weary. How's this—we play a game?”
His words barely ended when golden rays flickered across sky, ground, and void in the spiritual realm.
Golden rays rained down under Fengfengzi's head, weaving and merging.
Before Zhao Sheng, Hu Qianqian, and Cheng Dashi's stares, Fengfengzi astonishingly sprouted a golden form.
The form was lithe and elegant, every curve impeccable, radiating unfathomable might and resilience.
One look revealed it harbored profound heavenly truths.
Fengfengzi flexed his limbs experimentally, an uncommon grin cracking his hideous visage.
“Hehe, kept you waiting! Kid, you strike first.” Fengfengzi said, a savage smirk twisting his lips.
Before Zhao Sheng moved, Hu Qianqian yelled desperately, “Ancestor, this kid's sly as a fox, don't—”
Boom!
Golden flash erupted from nowhere, pulping Hu Qianqian into muck before he finished.
“Shut it!”
Fengfengzi retracted his left hand leisurely, then eyed Zhao Sheng a hundred miles off with curiosity.
A chilling sense of doom gripped Zhao Sheng abruptly, making him inhale sharply as fierce flames cloaked him.
Next instant, massive “Zhao Sheng” silhouettes rose from the blaze one after another.
In moments, six matching colossal giants dotted the void, exuding crushing aura that almost rent space anew.
Regrettably, Fengfengzi had fortified the realm's barriers earlier, leaving Zhao Sheng doubtful if he could breach it prior to Fengfengzi's response.
“Eat this: Ten Directions Annihilation!” The six giants bellowed together, vanishing from sight.
They rematerialized encircling Fengfengzi, twelve colossal fists slamming into him at impossible velocity.
No one foresaw Fengfengzi standing firm without dodging, absorbing the cataclysmic blow directly.
Boom…
Instantly, blinding radiance burst forth, unleashing a devastating force that scoured all in its path.
Hundreds of miles distant, Cheng Dashi failed to evade the blast, engulfed by the searing glow.
In a single instant, this Returning to Void Realm Demon Cultivator vanished utterly, as though never there.
Zhao Sheng's right arm ached fiercely, driving him to flee ten thousand miles back instinctively.
While retreating, defiant laughter boomed from the Sea of Destruction, echoing across the spiritual realm.
“Hehe, thrilling, thrilling!”
