Alchemy Master

Chapter 888, Peak Stage Martial Ancestor Showdown

Translator: Silavin

Within the barrier, two figures stood solemnly.

Even with the barrier’s isolation, two auras that made souls tremble slightly continuously surged upwards, stirring the sky into turbulent winds and clouds.

Gazing at Pu Gao before him, the Northern Brilliant Hall Master’s eyes flashed with a heart-palpitating sharpness.

Then, his sleeves suddenly waved. The originally surging clouds in the sky instantly twisted, and a terrifying Yuan Energy pressure sufficient to crush Heaven directly enveloped the area like an overwhelming blanket.

Even with the barrier covering them, considerable Yuan Energy pressure still pressed outwards towards the surroundings. Fortunately, several great personages were present. This Yuan Energy pressure dissipated rapidly like winter snow meeting blazing Sun when still several metres from the crowd below.

*Boom!*

At this moment, within the barrier, that space seemed to twist. As the space twisted, Northern Brilliant Hall Master extended a finger, and immediately that twisted space presented a wave-like state, explosively shooting towards Pu Gao opposite him.

“Is that the Power of Space?”

Watching that twisted offensive, countless Disciples gasped. Even just observing with their eyes, they knew this offensive could easily crush any one of them.

To have the ability to manipulate space… this already faintly approached breaking through to the Half-Saint Realm. Clearly, the Northern Brilliant Hall Master had already reached the limit of Peak Stage Marital Ancestor Realm!

“Truly worthy of being the Hall Master!” To the side, several Northern Brilliant Hall Elders couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Qin Yichen nearby also nodded slightly. Watching that figure standing within the barrier, he could sense the power emanating from within truly capable of overturning mountains and seas!

Amidst numerous admiring gazes, Pu Gao’s face showed not the slightest panic. He smiled slightly at Northern Brilliant Hall Master, then flicked his finger. Immediately, that space-rippling offensive bizarrely vanished!

*Boom!*

The instant that twisted space disappeared, the space surrounding Northern Brilliant Hall Master suddenly twisted violently. Then, this twisted space directly moved to strangle Northern Brilliant Hall Master.

This attack lacked earth-shaking Yuan Energy fluctuations, yet the danger within far exceeded Yuan Energy collision. This twisted space power, once falling upon the body, even Martial Ancestors would be directly strangled to death.

“Pu Gao can also control space!?”

Outside the barrier, startled cries immediately arose.

Easily dissolving Northern Brilliant Hall Master’s offensive, moreover reversing the situation to employ the same method. Clearly, regarding manipulating the Power of Space, Pu Gao was superior!

Although he had not yet reached the Saint Realm, with his ability to casually control space, he absolutely ranked amongst the absolute pinnacle within the Martial Ancestor Realm.

“Seems like determining victory will require a fierce battle!” Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he murmured gravely.

*Hmph!* Within the barrier, facing that offensive sufficient to strangle a Martial Ancestor, the Northern Brilliant Hall Master snorted coldly, then closed his eyes slightly.

As his eyes closed, the space around him also twisted, and an immense devouring force transmitted from within, madly devouring the surrounding World Energy. Simultaneously, those incoming twisted offensives were directly destroyed.

*Boom!*

As World Energy was rapidly devoured, that energy transformed into streaks of light that rapidly converged. A massive figure approximately a hundred metres in size slowly took form behind the Northern Brilliant Hall Master.

That figure coiled in mid-air, its entire body shrouded in brilliant radiance, impossible to look at directly. What shocked people even more was that as the light shone, what had manifested seemed to gain physical form.

Moments later, that eye-piercing radiance began slowly retracting. Only then could everyone clearly see what stood behind the Northern Brilliant Hall Master.

A figure that possessed wings of two hundred metres wide spread them out. It was clearly a massive Fire Luan!

(Silavin: Luans are basically like off-shoot Phoenixes. Some people might say they are Phoenixes but they are not. They are basically holy birds, in a way. They also look more like peacocks.)

As this Fire Luan appeared, the surrounding space trembled, as if unable to bear that pressure.

*Screech!*

A sharp bird cry suddenly resonated between Heaven and Earth. The Fire Luan raised its head and screeched skyward. Wave after wave of substantial sound waves swept outwards, causing the world to collapse.

On the high platform to the side, numerous Martial Ancestors’ expressions condensed slightly upon seeing this giant bird.

“This is the Cloud Devouring Fire Luan!?”

“Martial Soul Rankings, ranked 23, Cloud Devouring Fire Luan!”

Countless experts gazed in astonishment at that massive figure several hundred metres in size. Every Martial Soul capable of entering the Martial Soul Rankings possessed extremely outstanding qualities. Those ranked in the top twenty were even more terrifying existences amongst Martial Souls!

With Northern Brilliant Hall Master’s strength combined with this Cloud Devouring Fire Luan, this power absolutely sufficed to crush ordinary Peak Stage Martial Ancestors.

Amidst the clamour filling the sky, opposite Pu Gao also slowly raised his head. Watching that massive Cloud Devouring Fire Luan, his previously indifferent expression also became grave.

Then, torrential Yuan Energy swept forth from his body. Brilliant golden light condensed in the air behind him. In mere breaths, this golden light transformed into a solid substance. It was a Martial Soul emanating an aura no weaker than the Cloud Devouring Fire Luan stood proudly behind Pu Gao.

Golden Winged Roc!

That Martial Soul’s form was similarly hundreds of metres in size, its pair of massive wings seemingly cast from gold.

“That’s the Golden Winged Roc, ranked 21 on the Martial Soul Rankings!?” Countless gazes likewise gazed in shock at that massive Roc. Its body presented a golden state, giving an unimaginably robust sensation.

One was the Cloud Devouring Fire Luan ranked 23 on the Martial Soul Rankings, the other surpassed it by 2 ranks, the Golden Winged Roc.

Merely two ranks apart, the gap between them was not very large. Moreover, strictly speaking, the Cloud Devouring Fire Luan’s combat power was not much inferior to the Golden Winged Roc.

Two massive Martial Souls stood between Heaven and Earth, as if the sky itself darkened because of them. Everyone held their breath, watching within the barrier.

Within, the Northern Brilliant Hall Master and Pu Gao made almost identical movements. Their forms slowly rose, finally settling upon their Martial Souls’ heads, merging within.

From beginning to end, they exchanged no superfluous words.

Because they knew that today, they absolutely had to determine victory. For experts like them, determining victory required employing their true trump cards.
