BXBX NOVEL Chapter 322: The Wrong Timing To Wake Up
Chapter 322: The Wrong Timing To Wake Up
Wang Shenxu was never this confident before.
Although he possessed the divine void constitution, Wang Shenxu had been low-key for too long.
He considered himself the most powerful cultivator in Eastern Wilderness, but he could not prove his ability.
Who could understand Wang Shenxu’s pain and grievances?
All the talented cultivators had their own pride!
None of them liked it when the others were stronger than them, and yet they could not prove themselves!
None!
Wang Shenxu could live the life he wanted if his lifespan was not restricting him.
Do you really think his four Junior Sisters encouraged Wang Shenxu to take up the fight because they wanted him to die?
Of course not! That was not the entire reason!
They had grown up with Wang Shenxu since young. They were aware he had not been happy for the past few years.
The reason his Junior Sisters had wanted him to fight seriously was to allow him to enjoy the battle to the fullest and be freed from his curse.
Wang Shenxu had fled from Eastern Wilderness and headed to North Sea because he was afraid of death?
Of course not! As the Great Void Saint, no one could force him to make any decision.
He had fled because he was worried that he could not control himself before Qi Shaoxuan and might go all out against him at the cost of his own lifespan!
It was not an easy decision.
He had been holding back for too long, and now was the time to release his pent-up anger.
He had finally obtained the Eternal Life Sutra, and his lifespan was not much of an issue right now.
The negative feelings he had accumulated during the past few decades were about to erupt!
...
In this mystic realm, Shen Tian had been very good to Wang Shenxu. He had given him treasures and shared the mystic art out of kindness.
Wang Shenxu was indebted to Shen Tian, and he was aware of it. Anyway, he was confident that he would end up losing badly if he chose to battle with Shen Tian.
As for Ao Wu, he was just a little kid. He was kind of cute and not even at the Nirvana stage yet.
Wang Shenxu felt that it would be like bullying a child if he picked on him.
Thus, Qi Shaoxuan was the only one left.
Honestly speaking, Wang Shenxu had been pissed with Qi Shaoxuan for a very long time.
The three human prodigies were considered to be Eastern Wilderness’ top cultivators. He agreed that the Golden Core List reflected Bodhisattva Kuduo’s (2nd) and Fang Chang’s (3rd) true abilities.
However, he had not been happy that he was only ranked fourth! He believed he was stronger than Qi Shaoxuan.
The only reason he could not show off his skills was his cursed divine void constitution. He would decrease his lifespan if he used the Great Void Imperial Sutra.
Now that the problem was solved, Wang Shenxu wanted to take the number one spot.
“Qi Shaoxuan, I have been pissed with you for a long time! Come, let’s have a fight!”
Wang Shenxu’s body was covered in silver light in a blink of an eye before he merged with the void. This was one of the Great Void Imperial Sutra’s mystic techniques.
He could fend off 90% of an opponent’s attack with this technique and would be nearly invincible!
He looked at Qi Shaoxuan from a distance and made a hand seal. “Great Void Sword Formation, begin!”
The void became chaotic.
The void’s power formed countless swords, which then gathered around Wang Shenxu. He pointed at Qi Shaoxuan, and the swords flew at their target.
“You think you can beat me?” Qi Shaoxuan sneered.
He could feel the sword formation was rather strong. But so what?
He had not been defeated once in Eastern Wilderness, and he had absolute confidence in himself.
Just like what Shen Tian had said before, he would not lose to anyone that he had defeated before!
He was not going to give up the first place to anyone!
“Pure Heavenly Eye!”
The Pure Heavenly Eye between his brows opened slowly.
Qi Shaoxuan held on to his Heaven’s Halberd, and the void swords became visible to him.
The most dangerous part of the void swords was their invisibility, making it hard to defend against them. It was one of the most dangerous attack methods.
However, Qi Shaoxuan had the Pure Heavenly Eye and could see the swords directly. Not only that, but he could even predict those swords’ trajectories.
“Eight Wildernesses Halberd!”
The purple aura behind him formed into many dragons, and he sent thousands of attacks with a simple wave of his halberd.
Qi Shaoxuan successfully blocked all the void swords—not a single one was missed!
Although this attack did not cost as much as 50 years of Wang Shenxu’s life, the attack was still powerful and consumed his lifespan.
Wang Shenxu’s dark circles became darker, while Qi Shaoxuan... began to sweat!
He was the Purple Mansion Saint, Eastern Wilderness’ number one cultivator! And yet, he was at a disadvantage when fighting Wang Shenxu!
This fellow is really powerful when he attacks with the cost of his lifespan!
Qi Shaoxuan had to admit that Shen Tian was right. Wang Shenxu was no weaker than him at the current stage.
To some extent, Wang Shenxu was even stronger.
Until now, Qi Shaoxuan was on the defensive side. He could only passively block the void swords and not make any offensive moves.
Although Wang Shenxu could not break through Qi Shaoxuan’s defenses, the latter was still ashamed by it!
“I have to admit that you are powerful. You can have a fair battle with me.” Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes lit up. “However, a mere sword formation is not enough to beat me!”
Qi Shaoxuan’s purple aura surged as he activated his Purple Aura River Mountain.
Although the void swords countered it swiftly, Qi Shaoxuan just needed that short window to make a counterattack.
“Dragon Crowd!”
Qi Shaoxuan and his weapon turned into a purple dragon with a pair of purple wings on his back.
That was part of Peng Dao’s power, and Qi Shaoxuan had applied it into his Eight Wildernesses Halberd to increase the attack power.
Boom!
Qi Shaoxuan’s body dashed through the void in the blink of an eye.
A third eye appeared on the purple dragon, and a beam of light shot out of it.
Purple Eye Beam of Destruction!
The void collapsed and emitted a frightening aura while the purple dragon roared and leaped at an empty space.
“I’ve found you! Admit defeat!”
Roar!
The purple dragon roared and the void shattered.
Wang Shenxu appeared from the void, his eyes full of surprise. He did not expect Qi Shaoxuan was actually so strong.
However, he was not afraid at all. He scoffed. “If that’s all you’ve got, you are far from victory!”
Suddenly, his black hair began to turn white, and his dark circles became ever darker.
Wang Shenxu opened up his hand and chanted.
“Feel the void! Accept the void! Understand the void!
“Everything begins with the void, and they will return to the void. Listen to its voice and embrace its power.
“Forbidden Art, Void Funeral Send-Off!”
...
Rumble!
The void cracked further as a void vortex suddenly formed in the void.
The void vortex’s gravitational force was so strong it started pulling everything toward it. Even the purple aura could not escape. It was absorbed by the void vortex and disappeared.
Qi Shaoxuan was stunned and had a foreboding feeling. Were he to be pulled inside, there was no way he could survive that!
Although Qi Shaoxuan had never been sucked into a void vortex before, he knew that he had to run away from it.
Wang Shenxu was very proud now.
“Qi Shaoxuan! Beg for mercy!
“This Void Funeral Send-Off is the strongest art among the Great Void Imperial Sutra’s forbidden chapters! It has defeated a Thearch before! Even if you are as strong as a Thearch, there is nothing you can do about it!”
Wang Shenxu was currently exhilarated.
Number one in the Golden Core List? Qi Shaoxuan? Who is the winner now?
That feels so good!
Although I’ve sacrificed hundreds of years of my lifespan, so what? I will just enter seclusion for a year!
I really need to enjoy this moment!
“Beg me! If I’m pleased, I’ll spare your life!” Wang Shenxu put his hands on his hips and looked at Qi Shanxuan. “Be fast, before the void vortex goes out of control.”
Qi Shaoxuan replied firmly, “In your dreams!”
There is no way I’ll admit defeat!
He took a deep breath, and his body was covered in purple flame. He started to sacrifice his life too.
Getting power from decreasing lifespan?
I can do that too! Let’s see who the last one standing will be!
The Heaven’s Halberd became much larger, and he stabbed it right into the void vortex.
...
Rumble!
An enormous amount of energy was transferred into the void vortex!
The void vortex expanded out of a sudden and emitted a strong blast.
Wang Shenxu and Qi Shaoxuan bore the brunt and were hurt badly.
“Purple Aura River Mountain! Form!”
Wang Shenxu panicked too and formed layers of armor with his silver aura.
Rumble!
The unstable void vortex changed again and started to spin slowly.
Actually, it was not spinning slowly. It was just an optical illusion. It was actually spinning at breakneck speed. The vortex was absorbing everything into it!
Everyone on the platform felt the void vortex’s gravitational force pulling them.
“Brother Shenxu, please make it stop!”
Ao Wu grabbed onto the tablet tightly, his face full of fear.
Although he possessed the purest Black Dragon bloodline, he was still too young. He was the weakest member of the party and could not hold on any longer.
Wang Shenxu did not look too good himself either. His already pitch-black circles darkened, and his hair turned whiter.
His mouth twitched. “I’ve used too much lifespan! This is the first time I use this technique. Qi Shaoxuan has damaged the void vortex, and it is now beyond my control—”
Swoosh!
Before Wang Shenxu could finish, Ao Wu’s hands slipped off the tablet, and his body flew toward the vortex.
“Brother Shen! Brother Shaoxuan! Brother Shenxu! Help!!”
Ao Wu’s body was rolling in mid-air, and the fear of death struck him.
Qi Shaoxuan quickly formed a hand with his purple aura and grabbed Ao Wu. However, the vortex’s suction power was too strong, and the aura was depleting quickly.
Qi Shaoxuan snarled, “Oii! You made this thing, and you are responsible for shutting it down! Or else we are all going to die!”
...
Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian from the corner of his eyes. He was still sitting beside the stone tablet without moving an inch.
Even the void vortex is not a threat to Brother Shen!
Brother Shen is so calm in such an emergency!
Truth be told, Shen Tian was still indulging in his enlightenment and was not aware of what was happening around him.
Jade-colored vines were growing on him, and white flowers were blooming on them.
When these flowers appeared, Shen Tian seemed to merge with the void. He just let the void around him collapse without moving an eyebrow!
Brother Shen is indeed strong!
But you have to wake up now!
We need your help! Or we are all going to die!
The vortex was still growing in size. According to Wang Shenxu, the vortex would continue to grow until there was nothing within a certain radius.
Then, everything would become void again.
The problem was, they could not last until then!
“I cannot let the vortex grow any more! I’ll do something about it!”
Wang Shenxu had made up his mind.
Since he had created this void vortex, he had to solve the problem—even if it would cost his life!
“I didn’t think I would end my life this way. Maybe it is my fate...”
Wang Shenxu’s hair became much whiter, and his dark circles spread while his aura got more powerful. Even Qi Shaoxuan was shocked by it.
He has so much power?
Is he trying to sacrifice himself to save Ao Wu and me?
Qi Shaoxuan suddenly had mixed feelings.
...
Then, the handsome man sitting by the stone tablet slowly opened his eyes.
Upon seeing that his friends were in a predicament, Shen Tian quickly got up.
“Guys, relax. I’m coming!”
Wang Shenxu, “!?”
