Chapter 1000: Consternation
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
The truth that humans have noticed would forever be only a part of the truth.
Like the shadows cast on walls, they would change as the angles changed. The condition that one observes through the shadows would only be a part of the actual form.
However, if one were to directly observe the actual object the shadows were created from, they would be able to see its entire form.
This was what it was like when living creatures objected the real world from a higher dimensional viewpoint. They would be able to see even more of the truth.
The Virtual Image that Fang Xingjian had condensed at this moment brought his Sword Realm to a higher dimensional world, allowing him to look at the actual world like how ordinary people looked at paintings.
It was also like pressing down on a painting with a finger, finding a way to let the Sword Realm—which was at a higher dimensional world—attack the real world.
Everything within the painting could be easily pressed down with a finger. Before the lifeform in the painting was crushed, they would not be able to sense anything.
It was the same in the actual world. Before receiving the high-dimensional attack, all of them were unable to sense such attacks. All matter and defenses in the actual world were meaningless before such attacks.
Faced with such attacks, any other energies would be ineffective, and one would only be able to take on the blow with their martial will head-on.
Confronted with such a high-level dimensional martial art, almost the entire land was in a blank state.
This was the preliminary form that Fang Xingjian and Ulpian had created after three months of hard work in their cultivation.
In this world, tier nine Divine level experts who took on the Knight path would have to gain control of time after succeeding in grasping Spatial Translocation.
However, both Ulpian and Fang Xingjian understood that if they were to follow down this path, they would forever be trailing behind people who had taken the same path before.
It was only by opening up a new path, like how tanks had suddenly appeared and how nuclear missiles had changed history, that they would be able to completely reform battle means with new skills, crus.h.i.+ng the way people had battled in the past.
During the three months of tough cultivation, they had finally walked a path that was different from the nine tiers of the Divine level. Although it was just the beginning, there was already a qualitative change.
Right now, Fang Xingjian was already capable of integrating the Sword Realm at the higher dimension into his punches and kicks, using high-level dimensional attacks in battle.
This meant that each time he attacked, the Sword Realm that was outside the painting would have a finger pressing down to crush the target within the painting.
…
Just as the fatty was injured, the first person amongst the Plenary Foundation Septet to make a move was Hao Zi. With a sway, he pushed away all the s.p.a.ce in front of him. Then he charged up to Fang Xingjian, like drawing a black lightning across the sky, and then punched out.
His fist seemed to be compressed from a s.p.a.ce as wide as the ocean and mountains. With one punch, it was as if the entire land’s structure had come cras.h.i.+ng down, wanting to completely tear apart the s.p.a.ce right in front of him.
However, faced against Hao Zi’s punch, Fang Xingjian merely tapped out gently with a finger. Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Hao Zi’s fist was cut as easily as cutting through b.u.t.ter with just that.
All defenses, all energies, all s.p.a.ce were unable to fend off this sword attack.
After slas.h.i.+ng off Hao Zi’s arm with a sword attack, Fang Xingjian took a step forward and once again appeared before the fatty.
The fatty’s countenance changed drastically. Then his figure trembled slightly, turning into countless lights and shadows that scattered out in all directions.
At this moment, Hei Zi and Yu Zi controlled the surging turbid flow from the left and right, trying to surround Fang Xingjian’s location like a tsunami.
How can we possibly let you injure our comrade so easily?
Hei Zi smirked and punched out his Black Sovereign Night Emperor Fist. The curtain of night in the sky seemed to plunge down with this punch, encompa.s.sing toward Fang Xingjian.
Yu Zi lightly spewed out a sound wave. Suddenly, it seemed as if there were a myriad of demons appearing in void s.p.a.ce, and countless people in Fang Xingjian’s memories appeared before him. Even the martial will in Fang Xingjian’s body seemed to been trembling slightly like it was on the very of entering a state of frenzy and losing control.
Both of them released their killing moves without holding back at all.
‘Although I have no idea why Fang Xingjian has the powers of the tier six Divine level expert, with the two of us joining forces, it’s impossible no matter how strong he is…’
Yet at the next moment, Fang Xingjian put his fingers together to form a sword, and sword light struck out toward the two of them like starlight. However, Fang Xingjian did not stop moving and continued to give chase after the fatty.
‘What kind of joke is this… Wanting to fend off our attacks with just this and then chase the fatty? How can we let you…’
Under Hei Zi’s disbelieving gaze, sword light abruptly tore apart the night sky, and the myriad of mind demons scattered into dust. Both he and Yu Zi let out a stifled snort and came to a stop.
Right when they were pushed back by Fang Xingjian’s sword attack, Fang Xingjian had already appeared in a stretch of void s.p.a.ce and slashed out. Kacha kacha shattering sounds rang out, exposing the fatty’s figure. All of the fatty’s martial will shattered once again.
“I’ve performed the Heavenly Secrets s.h.i.+fting Art to mask the Sudden Inspiration senses. How is it possible for you to find me?”
Fang Xingjian did not reply and once again tapped out toward the fatty’s body.
Just then, layers of stacking s.p.a.ce barriers encompa.s.sed his body. The layers of barriers were like countless layers of gla.s.s, s.h.i.+ning down on his figure and making it appear blurry.
The Plenary Foundation Septet’s Tuan Zi had made his move. With this attack, he condensed pieces of s.p.a.ce into many metal slabs, wanting to entrap Fang Xingjian.
However, at the next moment, his countenance changed drastically. He could felt that the spatial barriers he had used to trap the other party seemed to have turned into tofu. No matter how he controlled them with his martial will, he was unable to prevent the spatial barriers from disintegrating rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he saw that Fang Xingjian’s palm had pierced through the final layer of barrier, shattering it.
Tuan Zi only felt as if all of the spatial barriers were like gla.s.s in front of Fang Xingjian. He was in a state of great disbelief, ‘How can there possibly be such a thing?’
Then, with a flash, Fang Xingjian once again appeared before the fatty and tapped out a finger.
‘How can we possibly let him kill fatty right before our eyes?’
Hei Zi, Yu Zi, Tuan Zi, and Hao Zi all let out an enraged bellow. At this moment, the four of them attacked together once again.
Black viscous matter flowed down the turbid flow, encompa.s.sing toward Fang Xingjian’s body. Everywhere they pa.s.sed by, the ether particles would lose their effects.
However, after Fang Xingjian’s sword fingers brushed out, Hei Zi’s Curse of Peccancy was instantly slashed into dust.
Yu Zi’s brows furrowed tightly. The mind demons on the ten Guardian Kings had all disappeared. Then Hei Zi flicked his fingers consecutively, treating as if the void s.p.a.ce was a series of strings of an instrument. Simultaneously, a heavenly demonic melody that was hard to describe rang out in everyone’s mind. Fang Xingjian’s body trembled slightly, and streams of black Qi rose up.
However, with just a tremble, the myriad black Qis had all been shattered, no longer capable of stopping his body in the least.
When the mind demon attack was released, Hao Zi also darted right up to Fang Xingjian once again. One of his hands had shattered from the explosion, while the other had been slashed off. Despite this, he raised his right leg high up and sent it pressing down fiercely and abruptly toward Fang Xingjian like it was a battle axe that could split the world apart.
Wherever his right leg pa.s.sed by, everything in the world would enter a state of chaos. A stretch of absolute darkness extended out toward Fang Xingjian. It was equivalent to the powers of the entire land.
However, faced against this attack Fang Xingjian bent his finger slightly and flicked out. Sword light flashed past along Hao Zi’s right leg, connecting together. At the next moment, his entire right leg had turned into a myriad of light spots and disappeared without a trace.
Fang Xingjian’s sword fingers did not stop at all. It was like the sharpest sword in the world, piercing through the over 1,000 layers of spatial barriers which Tuan Zi had set up during this period of time. His sword fingers treated the turbid flows as if they did not exist and once again tapped onto the fatty’s martial will fiercely.
The myriad of martial wills was all crushed.
On the ground, Tyrant looked at the battlefield in the sky in a daze and mumbled, “They… They are unable to win against Xingjian.”
Just then, Hei Zi’s enraged bellow was sent out amidst a wave of trembling consciousness. His tone was filled with fl.u.s.ter and exasperation.
“Fang Xingjian! You deserve to die!”
Rumble! A light sword rose up from his hand. He had clearly activated the White Emperor Zenith Sword, and it turned into a light pillar that penetrated through the heavens and the earth, encompa.s.sing toward Fang Xingjian.
However, faced with the attack from the White Emperor Zenith Sword, Fang Xingjian did not even turn his head. He casually threw out a punch, and his fist clashed with the light pillar. It caused the entire light pillar to be deflected into the sky, creating a hole with a radius of several ten thousand meters that went straight into the Nine-Tiered Heavens.
Concurrently, Fang Xingjian’s sword fingers flicked repet.i.tively, and streams of sword light once again locked onto the fatty.
Right now, the fatty’s consciousness was in a muddled state like he was unable to summon any power to resist. Many black sword lotuses were blooming in void s.p.a.ce, absorbing and disintegrating all of the fatty’s martial will.
“Ahhh!”
At the critical moment, the fatty let out an agonizing cry and sent his final potential erupting out. The Heavenly Secrets s.h.i.+fting Art was fully activated, and he performed Spatial Translocation consecutively, using superluminal speed to attempt to escape beyond this land.
However, at the very last moment, he heard a sentence ringing out in his mind.
“Stay behind.”
Bang!
The remaining five members of the Plenary Foundation Septet looked dazedly at Fang Xingjian as he clenched his palm slightly. The last bit of the fatty’s martial will suddenly shattered and dissipated. Their countenances turned extremely grim.
If I say I’m going to kill you, then I’ll kill you. Even if all of you were to go all out attempting to prevent this, you can forget about saving him.
When Fang Xingjian’s gaze swept out toward Hei Zi and the others, nervousness appeared in the Plenary Foundation Septet’s eyes for the first time ever.
