Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1079 - 535: Thunder Rules! Pentakill! (Part 3)

Tremendous crashing sounds echoed as numerous structures crumbled instantly, the very ground splitting open with terrifying chasms.

"Imperial Army, deploy!" Shen Chong bellowed with fury, directing the Imperial Army unit to maintain order within the chaos engulfing the Imperial City.

His gaze flickered towards Zhou's direction from the corner of his eye.

"Boom!"

The sensation was akin to being struck by a bolt of lightning!

"Gulp..."

Forcing his head away, he could not bear to look again; the sight was utterly horrifying.

A single glance was enough to sear an indelible memory into his mind for this lifetime.

These individuals were the undisputed top combatants of the Eastern Continent.

Their effortless actions unleashed catastrophic levels of power.

Had it not been for the protective array shielding the majority of the Imperial City's strength, the entire metropolis would have faced utter annihilation!

Emperor Yu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, seemingly unfazed by the turmoil below, yet his gaze was fixed coldly on Zhou. "Zhou, do you truly believe I am powerless against you?"

"Qin Yu, you appear rather unsettled; this is quite unlike you!"

"You bear the title of Emperor of Great Yu!"

"What could possibly disrupt your composure?"

Zhou, disregarding the veiled threat, responded with a mocking laugh.

While his cultivation might fall slightly short of Emperor Yu's, it was crucial to remember his mastery over the Rule of Space. Should he choose to depart, no power in the Eastern Continent could impede his escape. This was the wellspring of his confidence.

Emperor Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Then, allow me to ascertain the extent of that confidence you so boldly proclaim!"

"Boom!"

With a simultaneous tear in the fabric of space, the two figures vanished into a spatial rift.

"Boom boom boom...."

Shen Chong, listening to the deafening roars emanating from the spatial rift, felt a profound shock ripple through his heart.

The clashes between Emperor Yu and Zhou, the two paramount powerhouses of the Eastern Continent, resonated from within the rift, their sounds reaching the outside world.

Blood Cry Realm.

"Ancestor, we've just received intelligence. The Emperor of Great Yu has intervened, but was met by Zhou, and the two have engaged in combat."

The messenger addressed the revered ancestor of the Blood Race.

"Who provided this transmission?"

"Both Hidden Kill and the Tree-man Race dispatched identical messages!"

The subordinate, sensing the ancestor's potential considerations, waited until both reports confirmed the same information before relaying it.

"Understood."

The Blood Race ancestor offered only a slight nod, making no immediate move to act.

Instead, his gaze shifted towards the ongoing conflict unfolding above.

Despite the breaching of the Nine Heavens Star River Array, the Human Race had not suffered a devastating blow, thanks in large part to Zhan Tian's entry into the fray.

This was the undeniable impact of a top-tier combatant.

On the battlefield.

Duke Yuan unleashed his killing intent without restraint, his eyes suffused with a deep crimson hue.

"Preposterous!"

Duke Liu observed this with a furious shout.

The reason for his outcry was Duke Yuan's application of the mastered emotion rules directly onto his own being. At this juncture, he had completely lost control.

"Die!"

From a distance, Zhan Tian's punch obliterated an Eighth Layer Blood Race expert into a mist of blood. Even the potent regenerative abilities of the Tree-man Race proved utterly useless.

"Hmph!"

He let out a cold snort, his attention also drawn to Duke Yuan's predicament.

Indeed, those who walked the Path of Slaughter often inflicted the harshest toll upon themselves.

"You two, clear a path!"

Zhan Tian intercepted Blood Radiance, repelling him with a raised fist. "You two, go assist the National Preceptor!"

At that very moment, the National Preceptor was confronting an assault from four formidable opponents.

"Understood!"

Without a word, the Jiang Wen brothers charged towards the intense engagement surrounding the National Preceptor.

"The array is broken; once the ancestor makes his move, your Human Race is destined for defeat!"

Blood Radiance sneered confidently.

Despite his inferior strength compared to Zhan Tian, he felt no fear, bolstered by the backing of Qingyu Xian.

"Let him emerge and try!"

"What do you mean by that?"

However, the response he received was the impact of Zhan Tian's fist as the two combatants immediately clashed.

Even as the leaders of Great Yu desperately held back the elite fighters from the three opposing races, the Human Race found itself gradually pushed back on the battlefield.

The sheer number of top-tier combatants from the three races, coupled with the continuous healing support from the Tree-man Race, created an overwhelming pressure.

The longer the battle persisted, the more perilous the situation became for the humans.

Duke Liu's ears were constantly assailed by the dying cries of Great Yu's soldiers.

His heart ached with sorrow.

These were the crème de la crème of Great Yu's forces, with the weakest among them possessing strength beyond the Immortal Grade.

"Duke Yuan, bring your contingent over here!"

The out-of-control Duke Yuan felt a jolt of shock within his heart.

He instantly grasped Duke Liu's desperate intention, preparing for a final, sacrificial stand.

Shifting his stance, he began to cautiously move closer to Duke Liu.

"Three!"

"There are two here!"

Five peak Eighth Layer Blood Race cultivators!

Duke Liu unleashed his spiritual power, but this time, it was different from before; it shimmered with traces of violet lightning!

Violet lightning infused spiritual power instantly engulfed five peak Eighth Layer Blood Race powerhouses!

"Booming..."

Across a thousand-acre expanse!

Thunder and lightning reigned!

This was the rule Duke Liu had mastered, Thunder!

"Ah..."

Screams of agony reverberated across the chaotic battlefield.

Five peak Eighth Layer Blood Race members, annihilated!

However, Duke Liu’s body plummeted downwards.

"Get lost!"

Zhan Tian, with a powerful punch, sent Blood Radiance flying. In the next instant, he appeared before Duke Liu, supporting him. "Don’t throw your life away like this!"

"Didn’t I just kill five of them?"

Duke Liu managed a weak laugh.

Having expended all his Thunder rule at once, his spiritual power was nearly depleted.

He was essentially spent.

Yet, taking down five peak Eighth Layer opponents felt worth the sacrifice, even at the cost of his own ruin.

"You’d best not use rules, the consumption is far too great. That old geezer is still counting on you!"

Despite having used them himself, he cautioned Zhan Tian against their use.

"I’m not that foolish!"

He then escorted Duke Liu to the rear of Great Yu’s forces. "You two, look after Duke Liu. If anything happens to him, I’ll kill you both!"

Zhan Tian’s gaze fixed upon the two Eighth-Layer Guard Army members.

"Yes, Elder Zhan!"

The two responded in unison.

"Watch closely from here, see how I slaughter them all!"

With those words, he plunged back into the thick of the conflict.

"Haha!"

"The old geezer really knows how to put on a show!"

He then let out a sigh. "A rule is potent, but it can’t be wielded carelessly."

Incomplete rules, especially those mastered to less than a tenth, demanded immense cost when fully unleashed.

However, without full activation, their effectiveness against equally matched opponents was negligible.

"It would be truly wonderful if the Hall Master were here."

At this moment, he intensely missed the Hall Master. Only he possessed the ability to recklessly employ rules throughout all of Great Yu, for his rule was complete and perfected.
