Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System Chapter 930 - 412: The Fall of the Golden Pool, You Have Gained Divine Status! (2)
Previously on Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System...
"This item!!! Where on earth did you obtain this item from!!"
"Does something like this even exist in the current era??"
Golden Pool's voice brimmed with wild excitement and frenzy.
"It's incredibly rare; treasure it well." Yin Yue spoke gravely, a hint of unwillingness flickering in his gaze, before passing the crystal over to Golden Pool.
Golden Pool accepted the crystal with utmost care.
Even simple thoughts could interact with this crystal, marking it as truly exceptional.
"The Divine’s Fall Crystal—you're really parting with it."
Golden Pool parted his lips and gulped down the crystal whole.
"Now, will you finally tell me?" Yin Yue had no patience for further delays with Golden Pool.
Observing this, Golden Pool ceased his secrecy and stated directly, "You're correct; I do know that individual's true identity."
"I stumbled upon his name by accident, which filled me with unease, so I employed the Dharma Gate of Karma Fruit under Buddha to pinpoint him. I had planned to confront him when the Wenwu Bell Tower opened."
"Yet unforeseen incidents occurred, preventing any action. It appears the heavens have reserved this chance for you."
As Golden Pool continued speaking, the Buddha’s light enveloping him started to shimmer, instantly forming a majestic ancient tree bathed in radiant Buddha’s light.
An amber-colored fruit, brimming with karmic energy, dangled from a branch.
This fruit appeared linked to some mysterious entity beyond comprehension.
Yin Yue's gaze locked immediately onto the fruit. The Buddha’s Karma Fruit represented Golden Pool’s exclusive skill; with it formed, regardless of distance, through cycles of life and death or True Spirit reincarnation, the target would be located.
As Golden Pool invoked the Dharma Gate, the Karma Fruit intensified, revealing the shadowy outline of a young man inside it.
Strikingly handsome and godlike, radiating unmatched brilliance, resembling a youthful Celestial Emperor!!
"This is him, his name is...." Golden Pool started to reveal slowly.
But before the words could fully emerge.
Rumble!!!
A horrifying, inconceivable pressure burst forth abruptly, shattering the magnificent ancient tree and pulverizing the Karma Fruit.
In that instant, a colossal divine might seemed to descend from the heavens, surveying everything below.
This overwhelming aura struck without trace or prelude, leaving the pair with trembling souls and zero will to defy it.
Yin Yue fared slightly better, suffering only minor impact.
The force targeted Golden Pool almost exclusively; reduced to mere thought, he now flickered unstably, as if drowned in thick mercury, incapable of the slightest twitch.
They had faced Subspace Evil Gods previously, yet even the Primordial had never imposed such crushing dread.
A fragmented voice, noble beyond measure, echoed in the surroundings.
"Boring.. trouble... pinch to death."
The tone carried profound indifference and nonchalance, infused with boundless lethargy, while hiding an ineffable sovereign dominion!
The very next instant....
Boom!!!
Suddenly, without any sign, Golden Pool compressed under an bizarre power, bursting apart like an ant crushed by fingertips.
Simultaneously, Golden Pool's physical form on the bed, devoid of awareness, crumbled into a pile of sludge.
This self-proclaimed Buddha, no Human Race sage, perished in silence, utterly without fanfare.
In that moment, Yin Yue stood utterly still, afraid to budge, soaked in icy sweat, for as Golden Pool exploded, an inconceivable existence had swept its gaze over him.
A single glance made him feel like he'd met death repeatedly.
Should that being desire his end, squashing him would prove no harder than an ant, though he couldn't fathom why it spared him.
With Golden Pool's destruction, the dreadfully sovereign aura withdrew like ebbing waves.
Only after a long stretch did Yin Yue depart in panicked flight.
Not until reaching a strange, horrifying realm did he regain his composure.
"That's divine power, true divine power!!"
"Hahaha!!! You're right, our path was mistaken; this road's ceiling can't touch such might!!"
"The aura arrived via the Power of Cause and Effect—was it that person's Origin mark? Absolutely, highly probable; cause and effect tie deeply to origin."
"Golden Pool stirred cause and effect, triggering the other's Origin, leading to his annihilation—this confirms that absent cause and effect disturbance, such power stays unrealized, or I'd be gone too."
"Exactly, to strike at that one, it has to be in the physical realm, no schemes!"
Yin Yue muttered frantically, his entire form glowing with exhilaration.
"Golden Pool intended to slay him at Wenwu Bell Tower but failed due to sudden events; given Golden Pool’s temperament, such hindrance demands an immutable force—the True King Competition, indeed, it began ahead of schedule."
"That implies the young man is a contender from the Human Race."
Yin Yue whispered to himself, or maybe to some invisible presence, before fixing his gaze hungrily toward the Ancient Path.
Slowly, he lifted his hand, revealing all his latest deductions.
At the same moment.
Inside the Death Star Cluster.
World Light stroked his chin, muttering, "Sure enough, it’s the pivotal point of the grand era, the Engraver of Origin lurks within."
"Tsk tsk tsk, how fascinating."
"This contest looks electrifying, or else those wasteful fools wouldn’t have perished so soon."
No hint of remorse colored World Light’s voice, treating An, Xue Yi, and the other prodigies from the ultimate civilization like disposable playthings.
"The geniuses from the ultimate civilization just perished?"
Next to him, Liu Yuan showed slight shock as he repaired his injuries.
"Yeah, they’re all gone. No clue what tricks those races pulled this round, but no matter—they’ve served their purpose as offerings. Now, it’s my turn to enjoy myself~"
A weird thrill laced World Light’s words.
"You... you allowed them entry just to use as sacrifices??"
"What of it? Come on, I am World Light!! The Light of the World!! Dying for me is a supreme privilege!!"
World Light jabbed at his own nose, his voice booming with over-the-top flair.
He scratched his head next, adding, "Too bad, though. With Golden Pool gone, my link to that Divine’s Fall Crystal snapped too. Not sure if it got destroyed or vanished elsewhere—what a loss..."
A flicker of irritation crossed World Light’s face.
At that time.
Deep in the blood-soaked realm.
Su Tu chatted with Black Dragon Celestial Extremes over release from his seal, corpses of Foreign Race foes scattered at his feet, his energy now surging strong instead of frail like earlier.
Indeed, clashing with another group of Foreign Race had reignited his endless energy cycle, swiftly bringing him back to full strength.
"So, the Six Desires Race can aid in shattering your seal."
Su Tu questioned.
"Correct, that race holds traits from countless peoples, buried in their tangled connection properties lie fusion traits, which carry chaotic elements. My father emerged from chaos, so chaos flows in my lineage as well."
"Thus, contact with chaos lets me slowly break the seal, drawing on Power of Chaos to manifest more and more outside."
Having sealed the pact, Celestial Extremes shared openly with Su Tu.
"So, any source of Power of Chaos works for your freedom, not just the Six Desires Race?" Su Tu probed.
Celestial Extremes let out a sigh, "In theory, right, but this cosmos has changed from before—outside that race, there’s nothing else... Ah!!!! Brother!!! Oh man!! You truly are my big bro!!"
Overjoyed beyond measure, Celestial Extremes brimmed with profound shock.
"No!! Bro!! Real brother, this!! Where on earth did you find this?!"
In Su Tu’s grasp sat a shadowy egg etched with countless elaborate, twisted designs, radiating a wildly intricate, chaotic blended presence.
This was the prize Su Tu gained earlier upon becoming a Supreme disciple—the Egg of Chaos.
He’d long treated it as a pocket dimension, pulling it out only now that Celestial Extremes sought a chaos vessel.
Who would’ve thought Celestial Extremes would react like this.
Right then, any remnant of ancestral dragon heir dignity or Supreme Mad Dragon might vanished; he resembled a kid craving candy, practically tail-wagging at Su Tu in delight.
A faint smile touched Su Tu’s lips as he prepared to reply.
Yet he abruptly halted, a system notification flashing into view.
[You’ve acquired Divine Status!!!]
