1360 Chapter 1354: CKC, The Heaven and the Sky (1)
"They…!" Tian Shangyang was utterly shaken by Wu Yu's Grand Transformation from the depths of his soul. Similar to Tian Weilong, he had heard the rumors of Wu Yu potentially having a particular link to their cultivation method, especially after the fight against Nansi Yuangu, but he, like the others, had felt it was an exaggerated assumption that was disproven rather early on.
Since the Imperial Advisor and Divine Emperor retrieved the cultivation method and let it be in the end, that was the most logical conclusion for the majority of the Tian Clan.
However! As he bore witness to Wu Yu's astonishing transformation that bore the uncanny likeness of their Exalted Transformation, he realized that the connection was undeniable. What were the Imperial Advisor and Divine Emperor thinking? This was simply too close!
Even Tian Lingyu's pupils shrunk from surprise, taken aback by Wu Yu's Grand Transformation."There are some heavy differences between them, but the similarities…" Yang Chaoyue commented solemnly, but this sentence was enough to spur Tian Lingyu and Tian Shangyang out of their shaken thoughts as they turned to her as if waiting for her to finish her sentence. "...there's bound to be an explanation as to why."
They couldn't attribute Wu Yu's cultivation methods to Wei Wuyin as he was an Ascended being long before Wei Wuyin was even born, and changing one's core cultivation base after the Mortal Realms was absurdly difficult. It was much easier to cultivate Auxiliary Methods or Advanced Methods that didn't contradict one's initial method. The Blood Origin Method was an Auxiliary Method!
While they solemnly realized that Wu Yu was a mystery with a link to their clan and likely the Divine Emperor himself, the two Imperial Monarchs gazed at the two god-like beings staring at each other in stark opposition.
The 3rd Grand Transformation was miraculous, granting Wu Yu an improvement in every category while heavily increasing the strength of his Imperial Heaven Aura, but Tian Weilong's Exalted Transformation was not the slightest bit different, similarly increasing every aspect of his cultivation and the Aeternal Sky Aura's strength!
Their pulsating auras began to distort time, space, mana, essence, and light, generating gravity that shook the planets and lunar satellites. They were truly like Ascended beings, literal gods to the common mortal!
Wu Yu and Tian Weilong moved simultaneously!
Wu Yu raised his hand toward the large-sized, planet-rivaling partizan above his head, causing it to thrum and throb!Tian Weilong clenched both fists, lifted his head to the Endless Dark Void, and released a soundless roar! The entire three dimensional layers of space began to tremble violently as his Mystic Aura and Aeternal Sky Aura, now joined in perfect unison, began to manifest as a three-horned dragon!
ROAR!!!
The dragon bore remarkable similarities to Anu, but with crimson scales and three horns! It grew and grew, reaching sizes that far exceeded a large-sized planet! It kept going until it reached the minimum size of a dwarf star! A SOLAR STAR!
Its radiance painted the Dark Void with a hue of crimson, giving every planet that could see a new star!
Wu Yu's hand thrust upwards, and endlessly thick streams of his Imperial Heaven Power began to infuse into his partizan, exuding an aura of Awakened Spear Intent! It seemed as if it could penetrate dimensions, slice through all things, and reign over all life in the most despotic manner possible! As if matching the dragon manifestation, it grew until it also reached the gargantuan state of a dwarf star!
The two manifestations of Imperial Heaven Power and Aeternal Sky Power began to rent all of creation between them like two solar stars in close proximity, pulling at each other with indescribable ferocity!
"My heavens!" Zhang Ziyi's heart nearly gave out in fear. She had the urge to flee despite being countless miles away!
Han Yuhei's eyes flashed, "If they clash…"
There was a story of two Demi-Mortal Lords fighting unrestrained in the territory of the Aeternal Sky Starfield which led to the deaths of billions, the collapse of planets, Lunar satellites, and the occasional cargo or passenger Voidship. It led to an untold level of destruction and chaos, to the point where the Imperial Clan imposed rules across the entire Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, not just the Aeternal Sky Starfield.
Since then, most Ascended beings fought in different spatial dimensions such as fixed space, flew into the Void-Blank Space of the Dark Void, or clashed in already abandoned stellar regions and starfields. There was a reason why it was outlawed!
While the Aeternal Sky Starfield's array had subtly dispersed all the power from their fight, each individual amongst them was deliberate enough to not push their power beyond a certain point, only allowing some shockwaves to be intercepted, but this…
Tian Shangyang's pupils shrunk to their absolute limits! "They're trying to destroy the world!" Starlords in the Mortal Realms could shatter tiny-sized and small-sized planets easily, while even the weakest Mystic Ascendant Realm cultivator, the Mystic Star Phase, could destroy large-sized planets with ease. Those at the Soul of Mysticism Phase could snuff out dwarf-sized Solar Stars with a wave of their hands! The strength of Demi-Mortal Lords could be imagined as the weakest could cause untold devastation to starfields!
If it wasn't for Aeternal Sky Starfield's abnormally large area, the two fighting Demi-Mortal Lords from long ago would have destroyed it! If Earthly Saints were to be considered, destroying an entire Starfield in a few minutes was entirely possible! But these two weren't the 'weakest' type of Earthly Saints used to describe these astonishing feats!
Wu Yu's starry eyes observed the dragon's mighty form, his expression utterly unreadable as his right index finger twitched. The hum from his spear began to intensify to the point of causing ears to bleed!
Tian Weilong clenched both fists, the dragon released a roar that met the hum without backing down!
"That's enough."
A deep, resonating voice pierced through the myriad of spatial layers and thrumming power, reaching both of their spirits.
Tian Weilong's starry eyes of gold changed as he eyed Wu Yu. There was an inner competitiveness within his heart, a desire to send this attack out and see the result! However, reason won out in the end as the voice touched his soul, calming him down as the three-horned dragon began to back down.
Wu Yu sneered. "Prove you're qualified to say such words."
Without any hesitation, Wu Yu swung his hand toward the Aeternal Sky Starfield! The order was given! The dwarf-sized partizan blasted toward the starfield with a piercing intensity that was downright despotic as if it was sent out as an order of execution by a Grand Monarch!
Tian Weilong was stunned, but his reaction was not slow as a faint smirk emerged on his lips. Without waiting for further orders, his aged bones felt an aliveness that hadn't been felt for millennia, and he punched both fists out alongside two booms of thunder. The three-horned, crimson-scaled dragon roared as it shook the world, moving toward the world-rending partizan.
The two moved with a speed that was indescribable! When they met, the dragon chomped at the partizan, and the partizan stabbed at the dragon! The sight that many expected to happen, the clash that could end entire worlds, did not occur in the end! The unexpected happened.
The spear touched the dragon, and like a bubble being popped, the dragon's body expanded slightly before being unraveled at its seams, suppressed on a quintessential level!
The Imperial Heaven Aura!
Tian Weilong's eyes nearly bulged out of his eye sockets as cuts and slashes began to emerge on every inch of his body, tearing his already ragged robes into shreds. He watched, helplessly, as the spear annihilated his dragon without much resistance. It tried. It certainly tried. As it fought and clawed, wiggled and retreated, but all was pointless as the outcome had been determined!
"...!" The Ascended beings and peak Mortal experts bore witness to an absolute abnormality! The dragon was slain by the spear!
"Gah!" Tian Weilong's mouth spewed out copious amounts of starry golden blood as he was smashed by an invisible power, barreling backward like a hurtling asteroid lit ablaze by light toward the Aeternal Sky Starfield. He had lost consciousness!
Wu Yu's eyes were placid, seemingly having expected this outcome. He subtly unsealed his three Mystic Runes, causing the partizan to obtain renewed strength and expand in size as it pierced toward the Aeternal Sky Starfield. That's right! Since the beginning of their clash, Wu Yu had sealed off a third of his powers to match Tian Weilong's cultivated foundation!
If those unable to sense the change realized this, they might feel as if this wasn't real.
Now, he was no longer contending with Tian Weilong, but Tian Taizong! The Aeternal Sky Divine Emperor!
"Take my spear!" Wu Yu drove the spear into the Aeternal Sky Starfield, clashing with the array's initial defenses in an instant. A series of explosions erupted as shockwaves of sound and power blasted toward the Aeternal Sky Starfield.
"IS HE INTENDING TO DESTROY OUR STARFIELD?!?!" Tian Shangyang was hysterical as he felt an ungodly power from the spear, especially as it began to grow in intensity and strength manifold, far surpassing its initial aura. He turned to Yang Chaoyue and Tian Lingyu. Didn't they say that Wei Wuyin wasn't going to launch a war?!
At this moment, the Tian Clan members and old foxes watching the situation began to sweat in much the same way as Trueborn had when facing the Fire Phoenix! While they had confidence in the Divine Emperor, almost blind faith, there was an 'almost' for a reason! They all had a vulnerability and that was a single mortal by the name of Wei Wuyin!
A peerless, heaven-defying talent that became a Worldly Saint Alchemist beneath the age of a hundred, possessed the personal powers to face-off against The Serpent, had a larger Solar Star than their Aeternal Sky Star, and controlled terrifying forces that caused Trueborn to concede! Trueborn!
How could their hearts not pound like thunder?
However, as if hearing their worries, an aura permeated throughout Aeternal Sky Starfield in an instant, shockingly calming their hearts and minds as if they found their greatest pillar of reliance.
Yang Chaoyue's expression changed, "Mystic Heart Intent!" As she felt that horrifying will, the spear's shockwaves that breached through began to dissipate harmlessly into the Aeternal Sky Starfield, pacified mysteriously by this will.
Wu Yu's eyes brightened considerably, his 3rd Grand Transformation began to exude an even greater aura. He tapped into the World Rune's latent power within his heart as the spear transformed, becoming a stark white with the air of origin!
"...I see." The voice echoed out.
Suddenly, the defense against the spear receded. It was as if it was inviting it in to ravage the lives within!
Wu Yu's eyes widened slightly.
If the attack flew through the Aeternal Sky Starfield, it'll no doubt unleash a level of calamity that would be unmatched in the last twenty thousand years! Wu Yu could feel this in his soul!
"Hmph!" With a cold harrumph, Wu Yu pulled back his hand, wrenching it back towards him as the spear's momentum started to rapidly decrease. Wu Yu's nose began to bleed starry blood but he didn't stop as he kept reining the spear's power in. The act caused his meridians, heart, and spirit to screech out in pain!
It took a brief blink of an Ascended's eye before the spear halted entirely. Wu Yu's expression was extremely dark as he shot toward the spear. He clenched his fist! The spear instantly shrank, exuding greater levels of intense gravity and power! With another clench, the dwarf star-sized partizan became only nine feet long and he grabbed it imposingly as he reached it.
"Come." The voice invited calmly.
Wu Yu stared at the gaping opening in the faint layer of the Aeternal Sky Starfield's array. He didn't even frown or blink in hesitation as he shot into it!
