Chapter 687: Invincible Calculations
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
It was almost impossible to survive after being surrounded by so many experts. These lords were strengthened by the blood sacrifice and their arcane energy reserves were much deeper than his. It was a battle that could never be won through brute force.
Not only that, but the skills and tricks he used before couldn’t be used again, otherwise, there would be a great chance that these experts would seize the opportunity to kill him in one fell swoop!
For example, the way he disassembled his skeleton into pieces of bone in order to evade the attacks of the experts wouldn’t work a second time as the experts had now seen it. If it was used again, it would be quickly countered and all of his bones would be trapped together!There were 28 experts. Zhong Yue’s eyes brightened up as he watched the 28 powerful experts with powers like the Heavenly Deity approaching closer. Their auras alone shuddered the clouds in the sky.
If he fought back while standing on Ma Sansou’s back, Ma Sansou wouldn’t be able to withstand the impact force from the collision. Moreover, he might even be killed after being struck by a few impact forces. Thus, Zhong Yue could only act aggressively and initiate the battle away from Ma Sansou.
The Yin and Yang lines surged out and Zhong Yue’s neck grew longer while heads grew out of his elongated neck. The grown heads were closely watching the numerous Yang and Yin Lines being formed.
The Yang Lines and Yin Lines formed a variety of symbols, namely — Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun. And the symbols were still constantly changing.
This time, he wasn’t calculating the trajectories of the stars and planets, but was trying to calculate the 28 experts’ weaknesses; the flow of their blood essences, the shortcomings of their skills, the positions of their Yuan Shen, the weaknesses of their mortal body, their movements, and their next points of attack!
After he calculated and took every detail into considerations, he would be able to derive a plan to eliminate them one after another!
Ghostly fires glimmered in the skulls as he studied the changes and results of over hundreds of millions of symbols.All of a sudden, the over hundreds of millions of totem symbols disappeared out of thin air. Zhong Yue bolted away from Ma Sansou’s back and rushed toward the 28 lords who were chasing behind them. When he was still in mid-air, the extra skulls and long neck quickly retracted back into his body.
On the other hand, countless skills were cast out as soon as he entered the experts’ range. The consolidated power of the skills was too overwhelming for him to withstand forcibly, but each time, Zhong Yue was able to find a narrow opening in the sea of skills and calmly passed through them. It was as if he had gone through the same predicament thousands of times that he knew exactly what to do and where to move in order to evade the skills!
Of course, he hadn’t experienced any of it before, but his deductive abilities allowed him to calculate the lords’ blood essences, skills, Yuan Shen, strengths, and habits. And putting all those elements into together, he reasonably estiamte their actions in the near future and respond accordingly.
Zhong Yue passed by a lord’s shoulder, and before the lord could react to his sudden appearance, Zhong Yue raised a divine saber with both hands. When they brushed shoulders, they were back to back but right the next moment, Zhong Yue’s body bones reversed their orientation, and he was now directly facing the lord’s back!
The divine saber was brought down with great momentum. It cleaved the lord into two complete halves while Zhong Yue’s skull turned one-eight around and two flashes of godly rays shot out toward another lord!
The lord’s body swayed and shrunk down countless times into the size of a speck of dust as he tried to escape the [Dragon Shears].
However, Zhong Yue foresaw his actions and the [Dragon Shears] shrunk as the lord shrunk. Eventually, the lord couldn’t escape his fate and was beheaded along with his Yuan Shen.
This was the power of Zhong Yue’s prediction. The two lords were strong and powerful Qi Practitioners. Yet, Zhong Yue saw through their personalities, thoughts, and even their instincts, allowing him to slay them in just a matter of seconds!
At this time, the lords recollected their thoughts and immediately trapped him in the center. Although Zhong Yue killed two experts, he had also fallen into their encirclement.
This time, these lords would not give him any chance to escape.
At a glance, Zhong Yue saw the lords were all prepared, waiting for him to disassemble his body into bone pieces again so they could counter!
Smart, but not smart enough! Zhong Yue’s body suddenly changed, his mortal body reappeared and merged with his skeleton body. The cloak on his back opened up and fluttered in the breeze.
Behind him were six Qi Practitioners, they launched their skills and charged with their soul weapons. Whereas a round of hot sun flew out beneath the cloak, turned into a Golden crow and colliding with the incoming attacks!
At the same time, godly rays rushed out from Zhong Yue’s feet, forming into an altar. It lifted him up while the dead bodies of the two lords appeared on the altar. They were sacrificed and turned into arcane energy that was poured into his body.
Two surges of Heavenly Deity-like arcane energy billowed into Zhong Yue’s body, skyrocketing his blood essence and cultivation base!
Oh shit, my calculation was slightly off! Zhong Yue’s face changed drastically as he whined in his heart, Blood sacrificing these two lords needed a split second longer than I calculated, that means…
It was just a split second, but that was long enough for the attacks to drown the altar. The altar was torn apart and Zhong Yue was sent crashing down into the ground like a comet.
The earth quaked, and a large crater over a thousand miles in radius formed where Zhong Yue landed. The impact force even evoked a hurricane with sparks of fire that incinerating everything on its path.
“Go!” The remaining 26 Heavenly Deity-like experts burst into the air. Pagoda Master took the first step and cast the pagoda spinning, blasting it into the pit and cracking the ground with a loud boom!
Then, the other experts cast out their soul weapons. Some of these weapons was a sword, a spear, an axe, a jade tower, and many others. These weapons made a beautiful arc across the sky and crashed into the pit one after another!
The bottom of the big pit exploded again and its depth continued to deepen.
But it didn’t end there, the 26 lords stood in the sky, they yelled and their hands cast out numerous skills that slammed into the pit.
There were even lords that grew a thousand arms and slammed on the ground like a barrage of arrows falling from the sky!
The surrounding earth quaked violently as the pit was getting deeper and deeper from each strike. Soon enough, it turned into a pit which its depth was unknown of. They could only see the earth quaking violently with each strike but not the bottom of the pit, let alone Zhong Yue’s current status.
Faraway, Ma Sansou watched the scene and his spine tingled at the sight. He quickly bolted away and thought, “Senior Martial Brother Evil God is dead. I better run now!”
Then at this time, a loud explosion suddenly erupted from within the bottom of the pit, and Zhong Yue rose to the sky. Although he recovered his mortal body, the endless strikes still inflicted a significant amount of damage to him.
It was only a split second’s difference that led to this catastrophic consequence. Attacks from the likes of the Pagoda Master simply couldn’t be withstood with just the Immortal Body. This was because the residual energy of their skills were branded in his wounds as totem patterns. These totem patterns would constantly aggravate his wounds, preventing the healing process.
Although I missed the timing by a split second, the worship is still completed! Arms and heds grew from his body. He held the twin sabers and unleashed a bloody aura into the surroundings while the six light wheels appeared behind his head. He now felt just like a Heavenly Deity!
But as he only sacrificed two of the powerful experts, he couldn’t this state for long, merely a few breaths’ time. His offerings were too little, while Pagoda Master and the other lords had their own lower realms that could supply them with an endless stream of energy so that they could maintain their arcane energy in the Heavenly Deity level.
In turn, the lives of two Qi Practitioners could only sustain Zhong Yue for less than a minute’s time.
Even so, it’s more than enough for me to commence a killing spree! This time though, it wouldn’t be just three lives that will I reap! Zhong Yue bolted in the air, and a six-eyed Star Toad appeared on the back of his head. Suddenly, the Star Toad disappeared and its six eyes hung in the sky like six bright moons that distorted the space in front of them.
The lords suddenly felt a peculiar force of energy pulling them thousands of miles apart. they were separated and sent to different places!
Everyone immediately sensed something ominous and quickly flashed toward Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue’s Star Toad Yuan Shen wouldn’t have such abundant arcane energy to slice through space and separate the Qi Practitioners. But the two experts that were blood sacrificed bestowed him with the Heavenly Deity level’s arcane energy, making it possible!
The experts were rushing over, but Zhong Yue’s four arms whirled like a hurricane as he rushed toward one of the lords.
As soon as the lord saw Zhong Yue approaching him, he grew out a thousand arms and grabbed a soul weapon in each arm. Then, without any sign of fear, he rushed toward Zhon Yue in a head on collision.
A thousand soul weapons collided with Zhong Yue’s twin sabers. But in the next second, the lord’s body was lacerated into tiny pieces.
“Cast!” Zhong Yue yelled, the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit flew out and turned into a three-legged celestial. It reached its hand out and gathered the lord’s remains, its wings spread open and an altar emerged before it. The lord who wasn’t even dead for 10 seconds was blood sacrificed!
The other lords finally rushed arrived to the battlefield. Their skills were launched as soon as they entered the ranger but it couldn’t change a thing. Zhong Yue suddenly bowed, and the image of a million gods appeared behind him. A lord in front of him couldn’t withstand the pressure from the [Worship of Gods] and was crushed into a bloody fog.
It was then only the skills finally arrived, Zhong Yue’s four faces had seen the skills coming long ago in his eyes. With a change of thought, a translucent big bell emerged from the sky and shielded him in it.
Just a split second after the [Shao Hao Bell] was cast out, it was crushed away by the overwhemling skills, and the remaining skills continued to strike on Zhong Yue’s wounded body.
Fortunately enough, the [Shao Hao Bell] stopped most of the skills and he was not too badly injured.
Meanwhile, his Innate Golden Crow True Spirit gathered the blood fog of the lord who died under the [Worship of Gods] and continued the blood sacrifice.
Zhong Yue raised the divine saber with both hands, and cast the [Sun Burst]. The divine saber’s saber will and saber rays swept across the battlefield. The lords were shocked and hurriedly defended themselves, but another comrade still died under the saber. His lifeless body collapsed and free fell toward the ground.
Zhong Yue inclined his body forward and suddenly rushed down from the sky. A loud bang ravaged their lords as he clashed with a lord. He broke through the lord’s skill, sustaining yet another wound while his divine sabers slashed and cut off the lord’s head.
Then, his Innate Golden Crow True Spirit followed closely behind and clawed the dead lord’s body and blood sacrificed it!
