Chapter 107: Judgement (2)
Both Wang Wei and Dong Hao started clashing in the sky. The clouds scattered and the air vibrated wherever these two appeared.
Dong Hao had suffered countless injuries with each of the clashes, however, his Golden Armor was still intact.
Wang Wei could tell that maybe this guy wanted to slowly drain both his origin qi and his stamina. However, with his current state, he could probably fight for more than a week without stopping or getting tired.
As such, he wanted to end this battle as soon as possible. Of course, the main reason for such a decision was due to the fact that this battle was no longer fun for Wang Wei.
Despite fighting for quite a few minutes now, Wang Wei realized that his enemy had not even managed to break off his skin, let alone injure him. His overwhelming defense made this battle quite boring for him.
Without hesitation, he rushed towards Dong Hao and kicked him into the ground with all his strength.
The golden armor cracked again, this time, almost completely destroyed. Then, Dong Hao landed on the ground and created an explosion that scattered dust all over. Many pieces of land would break from the land and fly in the air following the shockwave of Dong Hao’s crash.
Without giving his enemy a chance to breathe, Wang Wei rushed to Dong Hao and punch in the face.
Boom!
The force of the punch created more shockwaves on the ground. As for Dong Hao, he spit out a few pieces of his internal organs and his body was forced further deep into ground, creating a meter long crater.
However, his face was not hit directly by the attack as he converged the golden armor that covered his whole body and made sure that it only covered his face, thus further nullifying some of the power of the punch.
Wang Wei, after seeing that his punch did not do the intended destruction, threw more punches.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With each punch, the ground would shake tremendously, then shockwaves would follow in the air. Pieces of land will fly out into the air, then land on the ground.
As for Dong Hao, the crater he created became deeper with each punch. By the tenth punch, he had already inserted himself more than 10 meters underground.
Nevertheless, none of these punches had a direct hit on him. Whenever a punch was about to hit--whether his face or ribs--a golden would appear to protect him from a direct hit.
Unfortunately, the recoil or shockwave generated by the sheer force of each punch still managed to travel inside his body and destroy many things.
As such, right now, Dong Hao had many bones broken, both his kidneys and lungs started to fail him, and one of his eyes was destroyed.
When he was about to receive another punch, Dong Hao quickly bit the tip of his tongue and spit out e bright red blood on his golden protection. The golden protection immediately expanded and turned into a circular shield.
However, it did wrap around Dong Hao to protect him, instead it encased Wang Wei inside and essentially imprisoned.
Wang Wei suddenly felt himself inside a very hard shell case, and it was very dark inside without any light source. Without hesitation, he moved his origin qi into his eyes and could see the golden shield hat trapped.
Without hesitation, he punched the shield, however, it did not immediately destroy or crack like previous attacks. After noticing this, he used his [Earthquake Fist].
The powerful vibration shook the golden shield after being, then it cracked. After three more punches, the shield was destroyed and myriad pieces of gold scattered everywhere with Wang Wei at the center.
Immediately afterward, Wang Wei felt something and looked at the sky. Dong Hao was floating there with blood all over his body, one eye socket was empty, and most of his robe was destroyed.
Without hesitation, he waved his hand and an ancient lamp appeared before him. The lamp had countless patterns inscribed in it, and a three colored fire was burning brightly on top of it.
He opened his mouth and spewed more than 3 drops of deep red blood: this was his source blood. Then, these drops of blood entered the lamp and the fire on top of it turned from three colored to five.
With a wave of his hand, the five-colored fire descended from the sky and attacked the surprised Wang Wei with match speed.
The flames enveloped more than hundred meters in the surrounding area. No sign of Wang Wei could be seen as he was swallowed by the flame.
After a few minutes, the five-colored flame disappeared and a body could be found standing in the middle; to be exact, it was a charred body.
Although his clothes were intact, the skin on his arms, legs and face was badly burned. It was burned dark all over with few spots of red flesh.
This was the first time he was injured ever since he started cultivating the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture].
He raised his hand and looked closely at his burned skin. An intense pain suddenly assaulted his nervous system. However, Wang Wei did not care as this was not the first time he was burned alive.
Meanwhile, in the sky, after seeing his attack working, a slight smile appeared on Dong Hao’s face despite it being almost disfigured.
However, his smile did not remain there for too long. He watched from above how Wang Wei’s darkened burn skin fell off the ground, and in just a couple of seconds, new skins were regrowned.
Without hesitation, he waved his ancient lamp and new rounds of flame attacked again in order not to give his opponent time to heal.
Wang Wei instantly uses the [Lion Fist] from his [Overlord Fist] cultivation technique. This was the first time he used a fighting method based on origin qi during the whole fight.
A 20 meters tall and 100 meters long lion manifested from Wang Wei’s fist. The lion opened its mouth and roared.
A sound wave attack came from its mouth and clashed with the oncoming attack. Then, the flame was separated in the middle, forming a V shape with both Wang Wei and the lion in the middle.
Without any pause, Dong Hao controlled the flame to fly into the air, then separated them into countless tiny meteors. Afterwards, they fell towards Wang Wei like a modern machine gun firing.
Wang Wei threw countless punches and many lions manifested from them. Together, each lion attacks a different meteor fire. However, there were too many of them.
Soon an explosion occurred with Wang Wei in the middle. However, weirdly enough, there was no heat that emanated from the five-colored flame.
After a few seconds, the cloud of dust created by the explosion was blown away by the wind. Wang Wei’s charred body was again seen in the middle of the explosion.
However, his state was even worse than previous. This time, not only his skin was burned, but even his muscles were burned by the flame. Many of his bones could be seen exposed to the outside.
However, just like previously, they started to heal immediately. However, the process was not instant like the first attack. Many of his burned muscles started to grow back at a speed visible to the naked eyes.
After seeing this, Dong Hao wanted to attack again. However, he spewed a mouthful of blood instead, then knelt on knee in the sky.
Soon afterwards, his long hair immediately turned white, his skin became wrinkled, and many age spots could be seen on his face.
When Wang Wei saw this situation, he was not that surprised. The moment that Dong Hao decided to use his source blood or blood essence to increase the power of his attacks to the Divine Body Realm, the result of this fight was doomed from the beginning. Not to mention the way he abused his ancient lamp.
Wang Wei shook his head while observing the regeneration process of his body. This was one of the reasons that he allowed himself to be so injured during this battle.
He wanted to know how fast his body regenerated under different circumstances. That way, one day, when he is in a true battle of life and death, he can find ways to buy himself time to properly heal.
After a few minutes, a brand new Wang Wei was standing on the ground. If anyone were to see him, you could not tell that he had suffered from a fourth degree burn.
He then looked at Dong Hao and asked, "Don’t you know that it is taboo for cultivators to use their ancient lamp like you did?"
Dong Hao who was happy to have a few seconds to rest responded:
"What do you mean by this?"
In fact, he was truly interested in what this Wise Sage has to say. Their royal family have long speculated that these Extraterrestrial Demons came from a more advanced world than them. So, they are privy to many unknown secrets that the cultivators of this world never had access to.
"The flame you just use is known as the Good Fortune Flame," continued Wang Wei. "It’s not used for fighting. This is a foundation necessary by all cultivators to cultivate the next two great realms after the Supernatural Realm."
After hearing this, Dong Hao frowned, then his one-eyed face became very ugly to look at.
"So, you figure it out? Yes, the more you use the Good Fortune Flame to fight, the more you ruin your foundation and cultivation path, essentially cutting your path or chances to higher realms."
"As such, in my world, unless a cultivator is forced to utmost despair, they will never use their Flame of Good Fortune to fight. Because they know that even if a tiny bit of it is used, it will be nigh impossible to make up."
While saying all of these, Wang Wei had finished healing and he then completely ignored the ugly and despairing look on Dong Hao’s face.
"So, that’s how it is," muttered Dong Hao in the sky. "No wonder no one has managed to pass the Heavenly Tribulation for so many years. We all thought that the world had started to enter the Dharma End Period, but it was just that we were wasting our foundation by using our Dao Flames."
After that, he laughed out loud, however, this laughter sounded so bleak and desolate. Although he had learned the truth, Dong Hao knew that it was too late for him.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei was ready to end this fight. Suddenly, a gigantic image appeared behind him. It was an image of him sitting on an Immortal Throne while myriad races and words bowed to him. Meanwhile, he was holding countless strings that dictated the fate of these races and worlds.
Immediately afterward the vision appeared, the entire world trembled slightly, causing countless earthquakes. Many of the Heaven Chosen that participated in the trial were instantly alerted.
They all looked in the direction of the Eastern Rain Kingdom and muttered:
"Young Emperor."
