Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 576, Pair of Chaos Fish

On the Storm Platform.

Liu Shaji activated the White Lotus Immortal sword. The giant white lotus at his feet, which had already lost two petals, again emitted bursts of ethereal flowery aroma, along with a blazing silver brilliance.

Compared to before, within the lotus petals there was finally a piercing sharp sword intent flowing out.

Compared to during the battle before against Liu Xuezong and He Ju, Liu Shaji’s imposing manner was even more frightening.

Opposite.

The Greater One Spiritual Master was standing with hands clasped behind his back.

He had no intention of striking first.

The confidence of a martial arts authority was evident.

“Come, my nephew, let me see how far you have cultivated the Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower. I once heard from your father that the Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower is the highest of the White Lotus sword technique, and once cultivated fully one will become invincible. Unfortunately, that day your father had not fully grasped it, and just incidentally mentioned it to me. I have never seen the real Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower... I did not expect that even after an old friend had past away for a hundred years, I would still be able to see the White Lotus sword techniques. Today, let me try this Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower to see whether it is as your father had said, that once cultivated fully it will become invincible.”

Greater One Spiritual Master’s voice resounded like a giant bell, ringing in everyone’s ears for a long while.

Liu Shaji had an indifferent expression on his face, only giving a faint cold smile in response.

The next moment, Liu Shaji performed a seal with his ten fingers, initiating the White Lotus Immortal sword to erupt out a dazzling silvery light, sword qi shooting straight into the sky.

“Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower... The third strike, kill!”

The lotus base underfoot trembled, and the third white lotus petal softly detached from the lotus base.

The third white lotus petal seemed to be slightly smaller than the first two petals, but the brilliance was much more dazzling.

The petal, like a butterfly fluttering between spring flowers, nimbly flew in the direction of the Greater One Spiritual Master.

The Greater One Spiritual Master maintained a calm face, but with a trace of seriousness in his eyes.

His cloud sleeves slightly vibrated, and the horsetail whisk in his right hand transformed into specks of silvery light, vanishing in the air.

The next moment, the Greater One Spiritual Master clasped his fingers together, palm facing upwards, slowly pushing upwards from the dantian to the chest area.

The air of the Storm Platform was vibrating, as a sort of concealed aura circled around the Greater One Spiritual Master.

In the unceasing quaking, as the star-like silver light appeared on the Storm Platform, the Greater One Spiritual Master’s palms, which were resting on his chest, were folded together with fingertips pointing up as he let out a low roar. The silver starlight in the air, like mother swallows returning to her nest, gathered on the Greater One Spiritual Master’s palm, transforming into mini silver shooting stars in the void.

The silver starlight accumulated into a mist-like, spherical light on the Greater One Spiritual Master’s palm, and an indescribable aura was seen emanating from the ball of light.

The Greater One Spiritual Master’s palm slowly separated outward, and the silvery mist-like ball of light was torn apart into two. His left and right hand respectively drew out a yin and yang thumb-sized light ball from the silver mist-like sphere. As the distance between the two palms widened, the silvery mist-like sphere grew smaller, the colour also went dull, and the two yin and yang balls of light were gradually becoming larger, more dazzling.

The Greater One Spiritual Master’s movements were seemingly very slow, but they were flowing as naturally as running water.

The left hand was Yin and the right Yang.

Both his arms were trembling lightly, as he simultaneously drew a smooth semi-circle with both his right and left hands, leaving a half-yin and half-yang complete circular light halo in the void. Then the two palms flipped over, each pulling out a lotus-flower-shaped ball of light. The Greater One Spiritual Master’s hands jolted, effortlessly moving the yin and yang two lotus flowers across the halo. The yin and yang two-coloured halo of lights were evenly split and formed into a supreme ultimate formation as the Greater One Spiritual Master ran his hands across. The two lotuses in his hands were becoming the fish eyes of the supreme ultimate formation, yin within yang, and yang within yin. At the time of the yin and yang combining together, the two yin and yang coloured halo of light formed a shield around the supreme ultimate formation, gradually condensing into a real substance before the Greater One Spiritual Master.

“The Supreme Ultimate Formation of the Great Dao Returns to the Origin!”

The moment that the formation was completed, the Greater One Spiritual Master bellowed.

Following the fading of the voice of Greater One Spiritual Master, the supreme ultimate formation that was like nature itself, seemed to be alive.

Faint light was flowing, the pair of Yin and Yang fish were like two tadpoles, joined head to tail, swimming in the formation. Bizarre and mysterious silver formation markings gradually emerged.

The Greater One Spiritual Master’s posture made him sees like an Immortal descended to earth, his silver hair dancing with the wind and clothing fluttering lightly.

Meanwhile.

The third petal of the third strike of Liu Shaji’s Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower was nearing.

The lustrous white, jade-like lotus petal seemed to be weak and powerless as it slowly and lightly landed on the Greater One Spiritual Master’s formation, the Supreme Ultimate Formation of the Great Dao Returns to the Origin.

Time seemed to have ceased.

The white lotus petal and the supreme ultimate formation engaged in momentary confrontation.

Countless eyes were focused on this moment.

Countless hearts were racing.

Who’s going to win?

In the end was the Greater One Spiritual Master going to catch that death invitation-like lotus petal?

The next moment, the Supreme Ultimate Formation of the Great Dao returns to the Origin suddenly erupted out a forceful aura.

The silver markings on the formation burst out a dazzling light, condensing into a huge silverlight net in the void, and blocking the falling white lotus petal. The huge white lotus petal caught in the formation shattered, splitting into thousands of fragments that dispersed in the wind!

The shattered petals swirled in the sky, like a shower of cherry blossoms in April.

All of a sudden, killing intent pervaded the Storm Platform, everyone seemed to be mistakenly entered into a fairyland, their minds shaken by the beautiful scenery.

After two breaths of time, the people began to respond. ‘Liu Shaji’s third attack has failed’ were screamed out in surprise one after another.

“Caught it!”

“The Greater One Spiritual Master really caught it!”

“Heavens, the Greater One Spiritual Master is so powerful!”

“Yes, he actually effortlessly dissolved the lotus petal attack! It’s unbelievable!”

“The first two petals almost momentary killed two masters of the Immortal Step boundary, but the Greater One Spiritual Master actually caught it, this... how could he be so powerful?”

“The white lotus petal attack failed, this Liu Shaji most likely will have trouble!”

“I wonder what other cards he has! The Greater One Spiritual Master’s strength is really hard to fathom!”

The master of the Nangong family, the Sky Demon Palace, and the Heaven Devastator Demon Sect were all stunned, eyes filled with fear as they watched the Greater One Spiritual Master.

The Greater One Spiritual Master’s strength was much more terrifying than they expected!

And their plan of joining hands with the Greater One Sect had been considered in the case of them being of comparable strength.

The eruption of the Greater One Spiritual Master’s strength allowed them a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. They most likely have to reassess the strength of the Greater One Spiritual Master and the Greater One Sect, and once the Storm Sword Duel gathering comes to an end they still need to act according to the circumstances.

The three giants exchanged glances, discussing something in secret code.

On the other side, there was a gust of cheers on the Greater One Sect’s floating peak.

“Master is really powerful!”

“Master’s power can easily dissolve a killing move.”

“For the master of the Greater One Sect to fight with a junior is already giving him face!”

“Master really is unfathomable, that little surviving member of the White Lotus Sword Sect of course is no match for him.”

It was the young disciples who jumped up in excitement.

The Greater One Sect’s remaining six peak headmasters also finally breathed a sigh of relief, as though a weight had been taken off their minds.

The haze that was brought about when they witnessed Liu Shaji killing Liu Xuezong and He Ju with an earth-shaking power was suddenly dispelled.

On the Storm Platform.

The Greater One Spiritual Master lightly lifted his left hand to brush his long beard, giving a slight smile, “Haha, my good nephew, it seems you have not been able to fully grasp the true meaning of the Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower. With such strength, you still want to retaliate against me? You’re bringing about your own destruction. If that’s all you have, then you’re going to meet your parents today.”

Opposite.

Liu Shaji’s face was devoid of expression.

His pupils black as ink, faint killing intent diffusing out, as he calmly said, “This is just the third strike, I would like to see how many of the Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower you can withstand!”

With that, Liu Shaji again performed another seal, the White Lotus Immortal sword flickered, slightly trembling, and from the lotus base underfoot was another white lotus petal detaching from the flower, swiftly fluttering in the direction of the Greater One Spiritual Master.

Upon a closer look, the fourth petal appeared smaller, softer, brighter and more solid than the third petal.

The white lotus petal, with a strange rhythm and trajectory, circled in the air, and where it passed, fragments of the third petal was stirred by a blast of invisible air current, whirling in the air.

The Greater One Spiritual Master operated a mysterious technique, mobilizing the yuan qi between the heavens and earth and into the Supreme Ultimate Formation of the Great Dao Returns to the Origin. The brilliance of the supreme ultimate formation was growing brighter and more dazzling than before, many silver markings emerged and the silver light net before the supreme ultimate formation grew denser and more solid.

The fourth white lotus petal arrived in a split second.

Two seconds after confronting the silver light net of the supreme ultimate formation, just as expected, the petal had fragmented and dispersed in the void. The drifting white lotus petals debris filled the entire Storm Platform, a faint white lotus fragrance permeating the entire place.

Greater One Spiritual Master wore a confident smile.

Liu Shaji noticed the look on the Greater One Spiritual Master’s face, but there was not any change of expression on his.

Without a word, he continued activating yuan qi, “The Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower——the fifth strike!”

The fifth petal separated itself from the white lotus base. The petal was even smaller, lighter, more condensed, and the speed a lot faster than before.

The Greater One Spiritual Master once again operated the mysterious technique, triggering the Supreme Ultimate Formation of the Great Dao Returns to the Origin, and the silver markings on the supreme ultimate formation, as though melting, were gradually vanishing.

The next moment, a faint grey mist seeped slowly out from the supreme ultimate formation, shrouding the silver light net and dimming the brilliance.

A vast and majestic aura filled the air, turning the atmosphere on the Storm Platform heavy and austere.

Below the Storm Platform, the crowd broke into exclamations.

“Heavens! The grey mist, could it be?”

“The Greater One Spiritual Master’s cultivation had reached such a level!”

“It is the qi of chaos!”

“The qi of chaos! They say that the beginning of all things, all things starts from chaos. The Greater One Spiritual Master has cultivated the qi of chaos!”

“This is absolutely unbelievable!”

“The Greater One Spiritual Master is beginning to show his true strength!”

“Once the qi of chaos appears, this battle will end. Greater One Spiritual Master will win for sure!”

On the Storm Platform.

Wherever the fifth petal of the white lotus passed, countless fragments of petals were fluttering about.

In the blink of an eye, upon contact with the silver light net of the supreme ultimate formation, a faint layer of the qi of chaos was wrapped around the silver net, and the colour and luster were slightly dimmer, but in the split second of the white lotus flower floating down, it erupted into thousands of pieces!

The power of the qi of chaos did not even give the slightest chance for the white lotus petal that was growing in imposing manner to counterattack!

The Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower seemed to be completely ineffective!

The complacence within the eyes of the Greater One Spiritual Master was more evident.

Liu Shaji seemed to not care at all that his three consecutive sword strikes were futile, continuing to activate sword techniques.

“The Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower——The sixth strike!”

“The Nine Strikes of the Lotus Flower——The seventh strike!”

Liu Shaji successively administered two strikes. The white lotus petals were smaller and smaller, and increasingly brighter, but as they gently floated down and were enveloped by the silvery light net of the qi of chaos, as before, they were reduced to fragments, scattering away on the Storm Platform.

On the Storm Platform, the atmosphere grew tense.

Everyone was watching the confrontation on the Storm Platform with bated breath.
