A Martial Odyssey Vol 2 Chapter 75

The G.o.ddess Asura hummed coldly as she stepped forward, “So you are hankering over the Celestial Alice Divine Sword. Do you think that I will allow you?”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy smiled coldly as she began to take rapid steps forward, “Did you just say that you want to teach them a lesson? Let me offer you my compa.s.sionate help too!”

The G.o.ddess Asura answered coldly as her golden eyes began to flicker, “Humph! Humph! No need. I can handle it. The Celestial Alice Divine Sword belongs to the G.o.ddess Theocracy and not to anyone else…”

She stole a glance at Yi Ping before saying, “And it is decided by the G.o.ddess Theocracy that this Yi Ping will temporary hold the Celestial Alice Divine Sword on our behalf. Anyone that has funny designs on the Celestial Alice Divine Sword shall face the consequences of opposing the G.o.ddess Theocracy!”

Yi Ping smiled bitterly when he had caught her glance as he thought, “Just a few moments ago, we are about to draw swords against each other. Is she really on our side or she has an ulterior motive?”

The G.o.ddess Isa mustered what little strength she had to say feebly, “Yi…Ping…she has her own agenda…don’t be a fool to trust…her…”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy gave a wryly smile as she said, “Oh but there are four of us here and only one of you right now!”

Everyone was half-amused.

That was exactly what Lord Tian Zhong had said to belittle Yi Ping and his group earlier!

The G.o.ddess of Mercy was implying that none of them were their match except for the G.o.ddess Asura!

The G.o.ddess Asura smiled coldly, “As if I am afraid of you!”

Yi Ping shook the dust from his robes as he said coldly to the G.o.ddess Asura and the G.o.ddess of Mercy, “I say again. I will protect Isa. If you want to get her or my sword then you have to fight me first. All five of you can have a go at me at the same time!”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy took a closer look at Yi Ping before she answered coldly, “Mortal, you speak too hasty. There is always a higher peak and someone greater. Repent now or I shall make you pay dearly for your blasphemy.”

Yi Ping replied coldly, “You really think you are a G.o.ddess and above us?”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy smiled coldly, “Naturally I am.”

All of a sudden Lele was on her feet as she said weakly, “You call yourself the G.o.ddess of Mercy? What happens to your compa.s.sion?”

Yi Ping, Yixian and the rest were startled that Lele was on her feet again after such a short time.

Yixian was worried that Lele may be forcibly suppressing the harmful martial energies that they had received earlier. If so, the repercussion would be extremely severe as she may suffer a phenomenon deviation or serious internal injuries. Moreover even if she did purge out the erratic energies out, what was the point? She was not their match!

Yixian herself had already purged out the erratic energies but she was concentrating on regaining her martial strength and waiting for an opportunity to intervene.

So she said hastily, “Lele, calm down please.”

Han Lin was also startled as she urged at the same time, “They are all true immortal pract.i.tioners. At our current condition, we won’t stand a chance…”

The G.o.ddess Aiel had popped a pill into her mouth in the meantime as she hastily sought to regain her martial strength even as she was cursing softly, “What a waste of my good pill. What a bad timing…”

The Celeste Wind Maiden smiled weakly at her, “My Mistress, do you have any more pills to spare?”

The G.o.ddess Aiel looked at her pouch before replying artfully, “It is dangerous to consume my pills in your current state…”

Han Lin was half-amused as she interrupted softly, “What a good excuse! When she is fully recuperated, do you think that she will require your divine pills?”

The G.o.ddess Aiel began to flush lightly as she smiled weakly, “Han Lin, this is not the time to start an internal strife.”

Han Lin replied coldly, “Now is not the time to be selfish or be calculating either. Xiao Qian may be our last hope. Even if we can’t defeat them, she may survive to exact vengeance for us a thousand years later!”

The G.o.ddess Aiel smiled weakly as she took a divine pill and handed over to the Celeste Wind Maiden, “Xiao Qian, your swiftness movement skill has almost no equal. Run if you are able to and don’t forget to seek vendetta for us!”

The Celeste Wind Maiden took a forlorn look in the direction of Yi Ping before looking at the G.o.ddess Aiel, Han Lin and Jing’Er, “We have known each other for such a long time that we are not simply a master and servant relationship. We are like…close sisters…”

She popped the divine pill before she smiled gently at them, “We are a group of bickering sisters. Even though my Mistress has always been selfish and calculating but I know that in the end she has always put our best interest in her heart. Therefore I refuse to leave and will fight to the very end instead!”

The G.o.ddess Aiel cursed softly, “Why are you so foolish…”

The Celeste Wind Maiden smiled, “Other protégé mistresses and masters will have flown into a terrible rage when others have consumed their most precious divine pill or talk back to them but you are different from all the others that I have known. You have never for once lost your temper at us. I have always suspected that your selfish antic is to hide your true state of divinity from the others. I am right. No one suspect that you are an immortal pract.i.tioner.”

The Universal Old Man could not help interrupting weakly as he coughed out a bout of black blood, “If you have known her while she is still the Sagess Ai then you will surely know that she is the best and is selfless. The real selfish one is actually me. I have freaked out at her generosity and…”

He looked at the Heaveness before sighing softly, “…that I have joined another group of celestials because I have thirsted for the knowledge and treasures of the Stellar Sanctuary…”

The G.o.ddess Aiel was beaming with tears as she said coa.r.s.ely, “No more please…”

Lie Qing said quietly, “She is certainly a really bad actress.”

The Universal Old Man said weakly, “…now I know why. She is actually an immortal pract.i.tioner. All along I have a precious treasure beside me but I did not know how to treasure her…”

The G.o.ddess Aiel looked away as she cried softly, “No more please! Enough!”

Lingfeng the Heaveness caught the Universal Old Man on his shoulder as she shook her head gently.

The Universal Old Man sighed miserably…

Meanwhile, the G.o.ddess of Mercy seemed to stare blankly for just a while before her golden eyes flickered all of a sudden as she said coldly to Lele, “That is just my immortal t.i.tle when I was still a Zen Pract.i.tioner but it has no meaning now. I am much more enlightened now. If I don’t go to h.e.l.l and experience the agonizing suffering then I won’t attain enlightenment.”

Lele immediately interrupted coldly as she raised her Divine Echo, “Rubbish!”

She raised her voice to say coldly, “I am the Joyful G.o.ddess, Prime Celestial of the Celestial Palace. I hereby challenge all of you!”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy smirked coldly, “Lord Tian Zhong, Reverend Du Fa, Reverend Du Shang, what are you all waiting for?”

Reverend Du Fa who was the old monk standing on the right side of Lord Tian Zhong immediately said, “We will naturally make a move but is not now!”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy asked coldly, “What do you mean?”

Reverend Du Shang said, “We have no wish to interfere with the G.o.ddess Asura or with you. After all, we are low ranking immortal pract.i.tioners.”

Lord Tian Zhong said solemnly, “That is right. We are only teasing them earlier. After all, we are fellow immortal pract.i.tioners.”

Lie Qing laughed coldly as she said, “They are waiting for the outcome of the duel between the G.o.ddess Asura and the G.o.ddess of Mercy. Then they will seize the opportunity to nail down these two troublesome foes and to seize the Celestial Alice Divine Sword for themselves. This stratagem is called downplaying oneself to wait for an opportune time and planning an offensive by faking a withdrawal!”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy stared at Lord Tian Zhong, Reverend Du Fa and Reverend Du Shang coldly before saying, “The Arhat Pract.i.tioners of the Enamel Sect are really humorous.”

Lord Tian Zhong stroked his long white beard before saying, “However as far as I know the G.o.ddess of Mercy from the Eight Lotus Immortal Sect is not known for retracting her words and will go to great lengths to ensure everything she has said is followed to the tiniest detail.”

Reverend Du Shang added wryly, “Even to the point of betraying the Zen Pract.i.tioners and to join the Arhat Pract.i.tioners because of her pledge.”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy smiled coldly, “Very good. It seems that you know me more than I know myself.”

Reverend Du Shang smiled, “It is because you are an eminent immortal pract.i.tioner in the Immortal Realm after all.”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy then proceeded to look coldly at Yi Ping, Lele and the G.o.ddess Asura.

Yi Ping said quietly as he clasped tightly the Celestial Antonym Alice and the Celestial Synonym Alice, “I am ready!”

Lele raised her long black scythe on her right hand and the Divine Echo on her left hand as she said, “I am ready as well!”

The G.o.ddess Asura took out a black rod that had two golden hexagon heads from behind her. With a sudden spin, it had become a long black staff with two golden hexagon heads as she hummed coldly, “Whatever!”

The G.o.ddess Isa was startled, “The Symphony of Destiny!”

Even the G.o.ddess Aiel was startled, “How did she get that divine staff?”

Lingfeng’s curiosity was piqued, “What is that staff?”

The G.o.ddess Aiel said quietly, “That is not just a divine staff. That is an immortal weapon that is wielded by the G.o.ddess Celestial Alice.”

Lingfeng was startled, “It is an immortal weapon?”

The G.o.ddess Aiel nodded slowly, “Like the Heavenly Earth Sword and the Divine Constellation, it is also an immortal weapon. It is a very formidable weapon….but how did she come into possession of it…”

The G.o.ddess Asura smiled coldly, “That is because I am an Ex-Eternal G.o.ddess of the G.o.ddess Theocracy. That is why. What so surprising about it? The Symphony of Destiny is the leadership sectarian symbol of the G.o.ddess Theocracy.”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy, Lord Tian Zhong, Reverend Du Shang and Reverend Du Fa were puzzled.

Lord Tian Zhong asked, “Ex-Eternal Mistress? What do you mean? You have retired already and have appointed another as Eternal G.o.ddess?”

The G.o.ddess Asura chuckled jovially as she smiled amusedly. Finally she smiled at them before saying, “Haven’t you heard? The G.o.ddess Celestial Alice is back so naturally I have to step down. But by her grace, I am allowed to keep the Symphony of Destiny.”

Lord Tian Zhong, Reverend Du Shang and Reverend Du Fa had turned pale immediately!

Reverend Du Fa stammered, “She…is still alive? Where is she now?”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy was startled as well.

The G.o.ddess Asura replied, “Naturally she is here in the Stellar Sanctuary as well. Maybe she is around the vicinity but with your present divinity, it is impossible for you to sense her.”

Immediately Lord Tian Zhong, Reverend Du Shang and Reverend Du Fa were scanning their surroundings nervously!

Yi Ping was startled as he asked, “She is here?!”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy said calmly to the three Arhat Pract.i.tioners, “Don’t fret. She is just calling a bluff. Given her unfriendly disposable toward us, if the G.o.ddess Celestial Alice is here she would have shown up already. Moreover there are four of us and only two of them.”

Lord Tian Zhong asked nervously, “The G.o.ddess Celestial Alice is really here?”

The G.o.ddess Asura hummed coldly, “What? Are you fearful already? You know that by the decree of the G.o.ddess Celestial Alice, the Stellar Sanctuary is forbidden to all the other immortal pract.i.tioners.”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy smiled coldly, “We are the Arhat Pract.i.tioners and we don’t care about the stupid rules that are set by the Zen Pract.i.tioners. All we are care of now is that the Pangu Immortal Formation is now broken and we are free to enter the Stellar Sanctuary.”

Yi Ping muttered, “The Pangu Immortal Formation?”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy continued, “Do you really think that the rest of the Zen Pract.i.tioners really care about the edict of the G.o.ddess Celestial Alice? Along the way, I have sent several of them into oblivion!”

The G.o.ddess Asura hummed coldly, “Serves them right for defying the edict of the G.o.ddess Celestial Alice!”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy was slightly taken aback as she asked, “Have you no compa.s.sion for your fellow Zen Pract.i.tioners?”

The G.o.ddess Asura replied nonchalantly, “They know that they are risking their lives by coming here. Even if you don’t kill them, they would have been killed by the numerous denizens and immortal formations of the Stellar Sanctuary. Since the result is predictable, why should I grieve for them?”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy hummed coldly, “Then may I know why the Great G.o.ddess Asura is here in the Stellar Sanctuary? Why waste your precious immortal life for foolish immortals like us?”

The G.o.ddess Asura laughed softly, “I am risking my life? What makes you think so? I don’t think so.”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy furrowed her golden eyes as she muttered, “Oh?”

The G.o.ddess Asura said, “While this is your first time in the Stellar Sanctuary, this is already my seventh time in the Stellar Sanctuary.”

The Universal Old Man was startled as he muttered, “It is her seventh time?! The Stellar Sanctuary has appeared only seven times throughout the history of the Celestial Realm. As for me, this is only my fifth time in the Stellar Sanctuary…”

The Universal Old Man was one of the first ancient celestial pract.i.tioners to enter the Stellar Sanctuary. He had only missed the Stellar Sanctuary only twice. The first time was because due to the immerse distance he was not able to make it in time to the Stellar Sanctuary. The second time was because together with the Heaveness and the Great Lord Sage, they had decided to explore the Astronomic Stellar Formation.

Lingfeng was muttering, “How is it possible?”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy was also muttering, “How is it possible? But even then…”

The G.o.ddess Asura laughed softly as she continued for her, “But even then the trip to the Stellar Sanctuary can still be treacherous and there is still the Pangu Immortal Formation. The Pangu Immortal Formation is created by the G.o.ddess Celestial Alice and so naturally, there are instructions on how to bypa.s.s it in the G.o.ddess Theocracy. That is one advantage of being an Eternal G.o.ddess. Am I right to say so?”

She smiled gleefully before continuing, “And of course, not many people know that there is a map of the Stellar Sanctuary. I don’t have to fight if I feel I am taking a risk. Most of the time, I am a silent observer.”

She stole a glance at the Universal Old Man and the Heaveness, “There are only the two of you now. There used to be the three of you.”

She shot a look at the G.o.ddess Aiel, “Do you really think that the G.o.ddess Theocracy isn’t aware that you have been secretly entering the Stellar Sanctuary? By my grace, I merely observe and take no action.”

The G.o.ddess Aiel said defiantly, “Don’t forget that I had been banished to the Celestial Realm. Therefore I have the right to enter the Stellar Sanctuary…”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy interrupted coldly as she took out a large golden mirror, “That is enough talk already!”

The G.o.ddess Isa gasped softly, “The Heavens Sundering Mirror!”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy said icily, “That is right! That is my immortal weapon. I didn’t want to take the Heavens Sundering Mirror out but since the G.o.ddess Asura has already taken the Symphony of Destiny out, she is leaving me with no other choice!”

Lord Tian Zhong clasped his long scepter as he exclaimed aloud, “Good! The Heavens Sundering Mirror! An immortal weapon that is the equal to the Symphony of Destiny!”

The G.o.ddess Aiel was gasping nervously, “If the two immortal weapons clashed against each other, the consequences of their impact cannot be imagined!”

Lingfeng was also trembling slightly as she warned, “If the Universal Force is within these two immortal weapons then it is advisable for us to steer as far away as possible.”

The G.o.ddess Asura hummed coldly as she agreed, “That is right. Enough talk already.”

As she said, she lifted the Symphony of Destiny gently in front of her but everyone could feel a cold fluttering wind gushing against them!

Yi Ping was startled as he muttered, “Even at this distance, I can feel her martial strength…is it due to her unfathomable internal strength or her immortal weapon? And how does my divine sword fare against these two immortal weapons?”

The G.o.ddess Asura said coldly as she walked rapidly toward Yi Ping, “Four versus one?”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy smiled gently, “You are underestimating Lord Tian Zhong and his fellow Arhat Pract.i.tioners. Maybe you are not aware that they have almost perfected their Subduing Demons Tri-Formation. Even for me, I may not be able to defeat the three of them at the same time!”

Lord Tian Zhong smiled weakly, “Thank you for reminding us…”

Lie Qing whispered to her group, “This is called inflating the ego of the others so that they will become overconfident. In this case, confident is the decisive factor in their confrontation against the G.o.ddess Asura.”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy laughed softly as she too, walked rapidly toward Yi Ping. At the same time, her mirror began to glow with a brilliant light that even her face appeared to be gleaming brightly!

Yi Ping had also stepped forward as he looked at Lord Tian Zhong, Reverend Du Fa and Reverend Du Shang as he said weakly, “Don’t force my hand…”

Lele had also stepped next to Yi Ping as she whispered to him, “Most likely the G.o.ddess of Mercy will be trying to engage the G.o.ddess Asura. It is because she cannot afford to allow a dangerous foe on her back. Therefore we will just focus on that Lord Tian Zhong, Reverend Du Shang and Reverend Du Fa.”

Even though it was a just soft whisper but to these super exponents, they could clearly hear her plans.

But Lele was not afraid to let them know their intentions. It was because she was stating the obvious!

Yi Ping nodded carefully but he said, “Lele, I can handle this alone…”

To the utter surprise of Yi Ping and to everyone, Lele nodded and took three steps back as she said nonchalantly. “You can fight alone. I am too weak to fight anyway.”

Han Lin smiled, “Lele, you have just given me a good scare. No matter what, Lord Tian Zhong is leagues above us and it takes courage to admit our failings. It is not a shame to admit defeat in the face of a superior opponent…”

All of a sudden they were interrupted by a furious implosion when the G.o.ddess Asura and the G.o.ddess of Mercy had made their moves against each other!

A series of icy cold windforce immediately stirred from around them!

The Universal Old Man was startled, “They are obviously internal arts pract.i.tioner but they were able to create such a strong icy wind…”

The Celeste Wind Maiden immediately said as she lifted her sleeve to take a step back, “…it is similar to sword energies but it is not…”

Yixian said, “They are both negative internal arts experts…”

As the G.o.ddess Asura attacked the G.o.ddess of Mercy with her Symphony of Destiny, the air around her exploded thunderous when she had imbued her immortal weapon with her martial power!

The G.o.ddess of Mercy parried the Symphony of Destiny with the Heavens Sundering Mirror. There was a brilliant light that was followed by a thunderous implosion!

Immediately the ground beneath them gave way as imploding dusts scattered in all directions!

Lord Tian Zhong, Reverend Du Fa, Reverend Du Shang and Yi Ping had barely taken a step forward when the G.o.ddess Asura and the G.o.ddess of Mercy had attacked each other!

In a blink of an eye, the G.o.ddess Asura and the G.o.ddess of Mercy had displayed a dozen ingenious strokes!

As the G.o.ddess of Mercy swung the Heavens Sunder Mirror, a beacon of light flashed past the G.o.ddess Asura. As that beacon of light struck the ground, it exploded thunderously into a pillar of towering flames!

The G.o.ddess of Mercy said icily, “I will disintegrate your golden body into dust and destroy your soul once and for all!”

As the same time she had suddenly displayed a flurry of palm attacks charged with her deadly martial power with her left hand as she shouted, “Thousand Weaving Hands!”

The G.o.ddess Asura hummed coldly as she slammed the Symphony of Destiny into the ground. Immediately a thunderous burst of martial explosion so earthshaking erupted from around her that everyone could feel the ground shaking underneath them!

But her opponent was the G.o.ddess of Mercy who quickly parted the martial explosion with her Heavens Sundering Mirror and her Thousand Weaving Hands as she flew into her!

The G.o.ddess Asura was not slow to react either as she raised both hands into dozens of claws as she cried out, “The Phantom Claws!”

Immediately there were dozens of explosive flurries!

Even an immortal pract.i.tioner like Lord Tian Zhong and the G.o.ddess Isa could barely count the number of exchanges that had taken place!

The G.o.ddess Isa gasped out, “I have heard that the G.o.ddess of Mercy has an epitome martial divine skill that is called the Thousand Weaving Hands. Today I have finally witnessed it…she can actually part the martial outburst of the Symphony of Destiny with her bare hands…”

The G.o.ddess Aiel muttered, “Who will win? But whatever is the outcome, it won’t be good for us…”

Lord Tian Zhong laughed as he looked piercingly at Yi Ping, “No matter who wins or loses in the end, you won’t get to see it. That is because it won’t take long for us to defeat you and seize the Celestial Alice from you…”

Yi Ping interrupted coldly with a shout, “Fat hope!”

When he had shouted, he had already leapt forward!

Lord Tian Zhong raised his palm forward, “The Big Dipper Hands!”

And the other two old monks did the same too as they mustered all their martial power to shout at the same time, “The Big Dipper Hands!”

Yi Ping shouted, “The Asper Divinity!”

All of a sudden there was three bursts of martial outburst that swirled around him and exploding outward!

Immediately the entire ground beneath them shook violently as the four imploding forces made a headlong collision!

Everyone that was concerned for Yi Ping was gasping!

Even the movements of the G.o.ddess Asura and the G.o.ddess of Mercy seemed to be slowed down…

As Yi Ping invoked the Asper Divinity, almost immediately he had raised the Celestial Antonym Alice which was the heavier divine sword of the two as he shouted, “Heavens Encompa.s.sing Stroke!”

And at the same time he had also raised the lighter Celestial Alice to shout next, “The Divine Horizon Sword!” as he sent dozens of piercing windforce forward to neutralize the crushing effects of the three Big Dipper Hands!

Yixian was trembling as she prayed softly, “Ping’Er…”

It was because she knew the effects of using three epitome techniques at the same time could cause a serious repercussion!

Lie Qing was startled as she gasped too. Was it even possible to use two or three epitome techniques at the same time without negating the earlier techniques?

Golden intricate lines began to surface on the Celestial Synonym Alice as it took the form of a golden dragon with five claws!

To the utter surprise of everyone, Reverend Du Fa was suddenly cut down even before Yi Ping had reached him while Lord Tian Zhong seemed to have received an invisible hard knock as he was forced back three steps with his long scepter raised defensively in front of him!

He too was wondering what was going on!

But before he could ponder further, Yi Ping had unleashed the Heavens Encompa.s.sing Stroke at them with the Celestial Antonym Alice!

Lord Tian Zhong roared angrily as did Reverend Du Shang as they raised their staff and palms at Yi Ping!
Yang Min suddenly said, “This is the same technique that had defeated the Demon Bull King!”

There was a tremendous explosion as the three of them clashed together!

All of a sudden Yi Ping had fallen backward as he coughed out a bout of blood while Lord Tian Zhong and Reverend Du Shang were flung off to the side!

All the maidens began to shout panicky, “Yi Ping, Ping’Er!”

Lord Tian Zhong simply could not believe that Yi Ping had the martial strength to force them back!

But he calmly got to his feet together with Reverend Du Shang and the bloodied Reverend Du Da; it was because they had already won!

Reverend Du Shang said breathlessly, “He is just a mere celestial pract.i.tioner but his show of martial strength was pretty impressive.”

Indeed Yi Ping was on his ground and he was struggling to stand now. All of his martial strength had departed from him!

Yixian, Lie Qing, Yang Min, Shi Shi, Jing’Er, the Celeste Wind Maiden, Lingfeng, Youxue and Han Lin were all crowding around Yi Ping panicky.

Even the G.o.ddess Isa and the G.o.ddess Aiel had risen to their feet as they looked at Lord Tian Zhong defiantly!

Lord Tian Zhong warned coldly, “Get lost or don’t blame me for being nasty!”

Just as he was about to take a step forward, there were two screams that had come from the G.o.ddess Asura and the G.o.ddess of Mercy!

It was because Lele had suddenly interrupted their fight!

Lele had locked her palms at both the G.o.ddess of Mercy and the G.o.ddess Asura at the same time!

What was going on?!

The G.o.ddess Asura and the G.o.ddess of Mercy had both turned extremely pale while Lele seemed spirited all of a sudden!

The G.o.ddess of Mercy gasped softly, “You! You dare to drain our internal strength!”

The G.o.ddess Asura gasped feebly, “The Celestial Force! How did you learn this demonic skill?! What is your relationship with the Jade Emperor!?”

Lele muttered softly, “He is my grandpa! I didn’t want to use this skill but the two of you leave me with no other choices!”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy gasped weakly, “Impossible! The Jade Emperor is still alive?!”

Lele said icily, “What do you think?”

The G.o.ddess Asura had broken into a cold sweat as she muttered to the G.o.ddess of Mercy, “This is not the time to ask this. Quick release your hold on us…or….”

Lele said, “Or I will pay dearly for this?”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy gasped weakly, “Please! Let go of us…I don’t want my years of attainment to be ruined…”

Lele said coldly, “Then beg me! The two of you!”

The G.o.ddess of Mercy said weakly, “I plead with you…”

The G.o.ddess Asura gasped painfully as she cried out, “I begging you to stop…anything you say…”

Lord Tian Zhong, Reverend Du Shang and Reverend Du Fa had all turned ashen when they had heard the name of the Jade Emperor being mentioned!

Reverend Du Shang stammered, “This is really the true Celestial Force?”

Reverend Du Fa asked, “Do we help the G.o.ddess of Mercy or not?”

Yi Ping was startled but he quickly composed himself as he urged hastily, “Lele let them go immediately!”

Everyone else was also startled at this sudden reversal!

No one had noticed Lele when she had suddenly interrupted the G.o.ddess Asura and the G.o.ddess of Mercy!

Lie Qing asked, “What skill is this?!”

Lele whispered softly, “The Boundless Celestial Absorbing Skill…”

Lele had once asked the Jade Emperor, “Grandpa, I don’t understand why the Holy Amalgamate Skill has the ability to drain the others of their internal strength but the Celestial Force did not seem to have the ability. I have thought that the Holy Amalgamate Skill originates from the Celestial Force? Or is it because my Negative Celestial Force lacks the ability to drain?”

The Jade Emperor laughed, “Lele, you are asking me a question yet you are giving me so many answers to choose from.”

Lele said unhappily, “It must be that our Celestial Force is weaker than the Holy Amalgamate Skill! Or is it because you taught me a weaker version of the Celestial Force. Or because you enjoy letting the Celestial Liege bullies me!”

The Jade Emperor turned solemnly, “Our Celestial Force does have the ability to drain pract.i.tioners of their internal strength. Unlike the Holy Amalgamate Skill which only drains the internal strength of the pract.i.tioners temporary, our Celestial Force can drain the internal strength of the other pract.i.tioners permanently and add it to our own!”

Lele asked, “Oh really? Even from pract.i.tioners with a different internal strength from us?”

The Jade Emperor replied solemnly, “Yes. However you can only use the absorbing skill only once and is always exclusive reserved for your strongest opponent.”

Lele asked excitedly, “You mean I can drain the Invincible Divine Force and add it as my own?”

The Jade Emperor laughed, “The Invincible Divine Force is an exception and you must never absorb it.”

Lele asked curiously, “Oh?”

The Jade Emperor warned solemnly, “Or you will end up being drained of your internal strength by the pract.i.tioners of the Invincible Divine Force. It is because the most important intricate heart formulas of this unique divine skill are the ‘Drain Intricacy’ and the ‘Negate Intricacy’. The moment that you have tried to amalgamate your opponent’s internal strength is also the moment the pract.i.tioner of the Invincible Divine Force is able to absorb it back. So be warned!”

Lele looked a little disappointed as she gave a soft sigh but she quickly asked again, “Then what is the name of this secret absorbing art?”

The Jade Emperor replied gently, “The Boundless Celestial Absorbing Skill.”

Lele clapped her hands happily, “Then Grandpa you must teach me. Then I will be able to teach my brother a lesson!”

The Jade Emperor sighed softly, “I didn’t say I will teach you.”

Ch75 End
