Chapter 785: Chapter 785: The Five-Colored Divine Light VS The Power of Reincarnation
"People of Dazhen, hear my command! I, your Emperor, am confronting a peerless immortal. Raise your right hands and lend me your strength!" Zhong Shan\'s voice echoed powerfully.
With his shout, carried by the auspicious energies of the heavens, it reached the ears of every citizen.
"The Emperor is confronting an immortal?"
"A peerless immortal?"
As people were puzzled, they raised their right hands. Instantly, it felt as though all their strength was drained, and many suddenly felt an overwhelming fatigue.
Massive amounts of energy converged, causing the heavenly fortune above Lingxiao Heavenly Court to swell more than tenfold. A dragon-shaped energy quickly surged into Zhong Shan\'s body.
Zhong Shan\'s power rapidly expanded, and a massive pressure emanated from him, causing the sea below to churn violently under the weight of his might.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Kong Xuan coughed a few times, coldly eyeing the vastly strengthened Zhong Shan.
"Nothing special! Since that\'s the case, die!" Kong Xuan sneered.
As Kong Xuan\'s eyes widened, a row of indistinct blades appeared in the void, the Blades of Space, reaching Zhong Shan in an instant. They were so fast that it seemed even Zhong Shan\'s shadow-like speed couldn\'t evade them.
"Slash!" Zhong Shan was cut in half.
"Your Majesty!!!" The ministers at the Southern Gate shouted in shock.
But in the next moment, Zhong Shan\'s severed body vanished and reappeared abruptly in another direction. The endless heavenly fortune continued to pour into him.
Zhong Shan didn\'t grow larger but became somewhat shadowy, exuding an eerie aura.
"Huh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Kong Xuan\'s eyes.
The Space Blades didn\'t cut Zhong Shan?
"Whoosh!" Zhong Shan disappeared again, only to reappear suddenly in another location.
The ministers at the Southern Gate thought Zhong Shan\'s speed was too fast to be seen, but Kong Xuan didn\'t think so. It wasn\'t a matter of speed. He was traversing space?
Zhong Shan vanished from one spot and reappeared in another without any warning. Even Kong Xuan couldn\'t see how Zhong Shan moved, making it extremely eerie. It was as if Zhong Shan dissipated in one place and was recreated in another.
Kong Xuan squinted his eyes. This outsider truly had something different about him.
Half an incense stick later, Zhong Shan disappeared again from the high sky.
"Boom!!!" Suddenly, a figure shot out from the sea below.
Zhong Shan? How did he move to the sea?
It wasn\'t that Zhong Shan moved to the sea, but that he had been in the sea all along. The earlier shadow clones appearing and disappearing were merely a distraction to buy time.
Looking at Zhong Shan, Kong Xuan squinted his eyes: "So that\'s why your body seemed so strange earlier. It was just an illusion, capable of deceiving even me. You are indeed special!"
At this moment, the surroundings of Zhong Shan were no longer shadowy. Having harnessed the endless heavenly fortune of Dazhen and borrowing the power of the entire realm, thick black qi enveloped him. The area where he stood became extremely ominous, emitting a terrifying yin energy, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
"This treasure, I have never revealed to the world before. Let\'s see if your damaged strength can withstand it!" Zhong Shan coldly declared.
"Treasure?" A trace of mockery flickered in Kong Xuan\'s eyes.
"Great Reincarnation Passage, open!"
Suddenly, the surroundings underwent a cataclysmic change. What was once a calm, moonlit night turned into a world bathed in blue light. The entire space shone with a blue radiance and began to rotate madly around Zhong Shan and Kong Xuan. The terrifying rotational force seemed strong enough to trap even light itself.
Massive vortices formed around them, and a violent gale of astral energy swept through everything within. Numerous islands in the South Sea were pulverized into dust in an instant, and the sea water was blown away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
This was the terrifying power of reincarnation—a massive passage of reincarnation. This was the ultimate power that Zhong Shan\'s shadow form could unleash, utilizing the power of the Dazhen empire and the immense energies of the realm. This move was Zhong Shan\'s greatest killing technique. If this couldn\'t defeat Kong Xuan, then all would be in vain.
As the immense reincarnation passage appeared, Kong Xuan\'s pupils contracted. Suddenly, he was enveloped by a huge peacock phantom. The five tail feathers of the peacock emitted five magnificent colors, immediately surrounding Kong Xuan within.
"Five-Colored Divine Light? It can sweep away all things? This is the treasure of heaven and earth, the cycle of heaven and earth. Let\'s see how you sweep this!" Zhong Shan roared.
Instantly, the power of the reincarnation passage surged violently and acted upon Kong Xuan. The pressure around Kong Xuan suddenly increased.
The Five-Colored Divine Light burst forth, shooting into the sky, but it couldn\'t break free from the surrounding reincarnation passage. However, even so, within the reincarnation passage, Kong Xuan\'s Five-Colored Divine Light remained immensely powerful, resisting the terrifying power of reincarnation.
"Roar! To think I\'d be outmaneuvered by a mere mortal?" Kong Xuan roared in a deep voice.
Though Kong Xuan used the Five-Colored Divine Light to block the reincarnation power, cracks suddenly multiplied on his face, revealing the extent of his injuries. Clearly, his strength was limited by his injuries.
"Great King Ming, do not blame me. Zhong Shan had no choice. In the face of life and death, I had to feign weakness to seize a chance at survival. I can withdraw the Great Reincarnation Passage at any time, as long as you agree not to pursue me. I will immediately stop it," Zhong Shan quickly said.
Zhong Shan\'s compromise was due to Kong Xuan\'s overwhelming strength. Even the powerful reincarnation passage, utilizing the might of the Dazhen empire, couldn\'t subdue Kong Xuan. If the battle dragged on, Zhong Shan would exhaust himself to death from maintaining the passage. It consumed too much energy.
"Reincarnation Passage?" A fierce gleam flashed at the corner of Kong Xuan\'s mouth.
"Roar!"
The Five-Colored Divine Light surged into the sky, and the enormous peacock phantom moved, its five tail feathers bursting with countless rays of light, frantically attacking the reincarnation passage.
The powerful reincarnation passage began to shake violently, as if it could be shattered by the Five-Colored Divine Light at any moment.
Cracks continued to multiply on Kong Xuan\'s face. Despite knowing the damage this was doing to his body, Kong Xuan chose not to compromise. In Kong Xuan\'s dictionary, there was no word for compromise.
"Zhong Shan, you seek death!"
"With a fierce resolve, Kong Xuan quickly mobilized the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light, determined to shatter the Reincarnation Passage.
\'Reincarnation!\'
Zhong Shan\'s eyes flashed with ferocity. At this moment, he couldn\'t afford to relent. Kong Xuan was a ruthless individual, and from his attitude, it was clear that not going all out meant certain death.
Zhong Shan\'s robes fluttered as he formed a circular hand gesture, his eyes glowing green. The Reincarnation Passage was Zhong Shan\'s greatest reliance for now, and he had to ensure victory.
The clash of the two terrifying energies, the Five-Colored Divine Light and the Power of Reincarnation, intensified as they battled for dominance.
\'Break!!!\'
Kong Xuan let out a mighty roar, the cracks on his face multiplying like fish scales, densely packed. With a terrifying shout, the Five-Colored Divine Light swept through the heavens.
The entire Reincarnation Passage suddenly froze, as if immobilized by the Five-Colored Divine Light.
\'Boom!!!\'
In the next moment, the Reincarnation Passage exploded.
\'Pfft!\'
Zhong Shan, his face pale, spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
Defeated? Still not enough? A deep sense of helplessness flashed in Zhong Shan\'s eyes. Kong Xuan was too strong!
Even with the power of the Dazhen empire, even with the sneak attack using the strongest Reincarnation Passage, and even with Kong Xuan severely injured, he still couldn\'t defeat Kong Xuan?
Defeated, truly defeated this time! What a terrifying existence would Kong Xuan be after breaking the shackles of reincarnation? Could the Lingxiao Heavenly Court still stand?
As Zhong Shan reeled back, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
But a few breaths later, things didn\'t go as Zhong Shan had imagined.
With the explosion of the Reincarnation Passage, the vast territory of the South Sea turned into a massive black hole. Lingxiao Heavenly Court, due to Zhong Shan\'s deliberate avoidance and the protective formation of Nangong Sheng, suffered minimal damage.
However, Kong Xuan didn\'t strike again. He didn\'t unleash the murderous intent that Zhong Shan had anticipated.
Within the massive black hole, a transparent pillar sealed Kong Xuan inside. Kong Xuan\'s eyes widened in astonishment.
In the center of the battlefield between Zhong Shan and Kong Xuan, a new figure suddenly appeared—a man in black robes.
The black-robed man held a jade turtle, directing it towards the transparent pillar containing Kong Xuan.
\'Who are you?\' Kong Xuan coldly eyed the black-robed man.
It seemed the recent clash had aggravated Kong Xuan\'s injuries, preventing him from breaking through the pillar\'s confinement immediately.
Zhong Shan also looked towards the black-robed man. At the sight of him, Zhong Shan\'s brows slightly furrowed. This figure seemed so familiar.
The black-robed man didn\'t respond to Kong Xuan.
\'Great Yan Life-Cutting Technique!\' the black-robed man shouted.
With his shout, thousands of blade-like lights appeared around the black hole, seemingly attracted to the center, and plunged towards Kong Xuan.
"...!"
There was no sound.
\'Roar!!!\' Kong Xuan let out a roar of agony.
Agony? Was Kong Xuan in pain?
\'Great Yan Life-Cutting Technique, Zhong Shan, you, you!!!\' Kong Xuan snarled.
Then, the immense Five-Colored Divine Light burst forth again. Ignoring his injuries, Kong Xuan activated the Five-Colored Divine Light once more. Under the massive impact, the transparent pillar enclosing him cracked heavily, while the cracks on Kong Xuan\'s face deepened, making him look terrifyingly ferocious.
\'Life-Cutting!\' the black-robed man shouted again, activating the jade turtle, sending a myriad of phantom blades towards Kong Xuan.
\'Roar!!!\' Kong Xuan let out another mighty roar, finally using the Five-Colored Divine Light to shatter the transparent pillar. Escaping the myriad blades, his entire left hand, due to his injuries, withered and disintegrated into sand, vanishing completely.
