Chapter 401: 348
Moreover, the skills of the two paths are like water and fire. If one cannot maintain the balance and allows one side to suppress the other, it’s very easy to be backlashe. Countless masters have tried but failed in the end because of this.
No one expected that Empress Wu could achieve this.
And even though she practiced two paths, her real foundation was different. She chose to control both paths with the Imperial Path, forcefully turning them into a balance; an unthinkable approach.
“Such an idea is audacious, but it isn’t necessarily a new way of thinking,” praised Pei Xuanjing silently.
Yin and Yang opposed each other. Apart from the Tai Chi fusion, this method could also be used to achieve balance.
Rumble…
Who knows how many rounds these two had gone through, with countless moves unleashed in the blink of an eye.
All kinds of martial studies were used by both sides, whether it was exquisite skills or ordinary moves; both sides had the terrifying power to destroy Heaven and Earth at their fingertips.
The purple-gold sword in Empress Wu’s hand had vanished and reformed countless times. But with the aid of the Heavenly Earthly Force, her body’s Primordial Qi didn’t diminish in the slightest.
In contrast, Pei Xuanjing was somewhat overshadowed. After all, he was just a Half-Step Heavenly Being and the Heavenly Earthly Force he could use was inferior to Empress Wu.
The tiny difference was a significant weak point for these two mighty fighters. Empress Wu had been suppressing Pei Xuanjing all this time and if it were not for his robust physical strength, he wouldn’t have lasted this long.
Pei Xuanjing had never faced such an opponent, and what troubled him the most was this Heavenly Earthly Force. He had never felt it before, but during his showdown with Empress Wu, he seemed to feel a faint but detectable repellent force from it.
Any ordinary person might neglect this minute repulsion, but with Pei Xuanjing’s sensitive Yin Spirit, it was impossible for him to overlook this.
“Logically, the battle power that Empress Wu has displayed is closer to that of a Heavenly Being than mine, so the Heavenly Earthly Force should be repelling her, not me.” This was the greatest mystery in Pei Xuanjing’s mind.
‘Martial Generation Li Xing is destined by Heaven!’
The phrase from the monk named Huiming that he had just killed came to mind. He had said that it was destined for Empress Wu, Gen Li Xing, to ascend the throne and take over the Great Tang.
Pei Xuanjing had initially dismissed these prophetic words and deemed them as nonsense. But the way their fight was progressing was hinting that it might be true.
“Are you wondering why Heaven and Earth shun you?” Empress Wu asked him.
Pei Xuanjing frowned and looked at her without hiding his confusion: “Yes.”
Empress Wu arrogantly said: “Because I am the Child of Destiny in this world. ‘Gen Li Xing of the Martial Generation’ is preordained by Heaven, you outsider!”
Boom!
Upon hearing the word ‘outsider,’ Pei Xuanjing felt as if his heart was hit by stormy waves. He looked at Empress Wu in shock.
It would be impossible for her to know that he is not of this world.
Ever since the simulator appeared, no one has ever been able to discern the reality of the simulator.
Empress Wu’s voice continued to ring in his ears, “I don’t know how you came to the World of Myriad Manifestations, but you made the mistake of opposing me.”
Although Pei Xuanjing didn’t respond, she seemed certain about his identity.
At the start of their fight, she didn’t manage to figure out his identity, but she is now sure of it.
“Outsider?” Pei Xuanjing asked tentatively, “You don’t seem surprised about the so-called outsider.”
From what Empress Wu said, it seemed like she knew everything, that she wasn’t surprised about Pei Xuanjing being a ‘transmigrator,’ like it was a common occurrence.
Could it be that Empress Wu is also not from this world, or has she encountered more than one ‘transmigrator’?
This was Pei Xuanjing’s most intense curiosity, which was why he decided to test the waters.
Unfortunately, upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s question, a hint of disappointment sparked in Empress Wu’s eyes, “So you stumbled into this world. What a letdown.”
She initially thought that Pei Xuanjing was sent here by one of her enemies. But by asking such a question, he confirmed that he was simply an accidental outsider, not sent by any particular person.
Looking coldly at Pei Xuanjing, Empress Wu said, “The Generation of Martial Li Xing is a destiny, it is ordained. Although there may be ups and downs in the process, the result will absolutely not change.”
“Is that so!” Pei Xuanjing’s eyes were ice-cold. Her confidence of already having victory in her hands was really disgusting.
“You’ve been restraining your power, not daring to exceed the limit. It’s probably because you’re afraid of attracting the arrival of the Door of Celestial, isn’t it!” He guessed, coldly.
“What?” Empress Wu’s expression changed, clearly having her thoughts exposed.
Indeed, even though she was favored by Heaven and Earth and was assisted by the Heavenly Earthly Force in her Cultivation, she couldn’t break the rules of Heaven and Earth. Hence, even though she had the power to rival a Heavenly Being, she still held back, not daring to release her full power.
“Ha-ha, as expected!” said Pei Xuanjing, a smile creeping across his face.
Empress Wu had been fighting him all this while without using full strength, which meant that she had something to worry about.
His suspicion was now confirmed. The constraint of Heaven and Earth was that if exceeded, the Door of Celestial would be inevitably drawn.
When that happens, even if she could defeat him, facing the Door of Celestial, she would only have the option of ascending, and would not be able to continue with her plan.
“Today, please ascend, Empress Dowager!” Pei Xuanjing said, his voice firm.
The projection symbolizing Pei Xuanjing’s Great Tao foundation was illuminating, its multicolored rays twinkling and exuding a mystical atmosphere harmonized with Pei Xuanjing.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing was no longer holding back. He revealed all his power.
Rumble…
When Pei Xuanjing’s Yin Spirit power was unleashed, everyone within dozens of miles felt a terrifying pressure appear out of nowhere, as if it were directly targeting their souls.
Even the Empress Wu, who had already advanced to the Heavenly Being stage, couldn’t help but be shocked when she felt this formidable mental power.
She wanted to stop what Pei Xuanjing was about to do, but it was already too late.
“You…” Empress Wu was shocked. Was the plan she had been scheming for so long about to fall apart?
