Eternal Life: I Can Control My Essence Qi-Chapter 255 - 193: Clash at the Pinnacle! (Part 2)

Chapter 255: Chapter 193: Clash at the Pinnacle! (Part 2)

From the scene, Yu Wen Tai seemed to have victory within his grasp, the balance had tipped extremely in his favor.

"Heh..."

Yu Wen Tai chuckled lightly, speaking slowly:

"Qingxu, you’ve been struck by the Fierce Spring Divine Palm, you’re not far from death, yet you still dare to boast?"

Although he spoke thus, he remained cautious in his heart, not daring to approach, just waiting for the Fierce Spring Divine Palm to take effect and slowly exhaust Lord Qingxu to death.

Of course, he knew it wouldn’t be that easy to deal with this formidable enemy, so he was waiting to see firsthand what means this Lord Qingxu, who managed to kill his true self, possessed.

And he soon got his wish:

"Hoo..."

Zhang Yao took a deep breath; seeing Yu Wen Tai remained unfazed, he finally activated his Essence Qi Transformation Talent.

In an instant, an immense amount of Essence Qi was expended, and all injuries on his body began to heal rapidly, even the sinister power of the Fierce Spring Divine Palm was forcefully expelled.

No power in the world targeting flesh, bones, or tendons could rival the Essence Energy; it was an inherent counter, a fundamental disparity.

"So this is what you’re relying on?"

Yu Wen Tai laughed loudly with interest, saying:

"You were reluctant to heal your injuries, seems like you have some means to harm me at a certain distance, trying to lure me to you?"

"Perhaps this was how you caught me off guard and killed my true self last time?!"

"But unfortunately, your plan is going to fail."

He saw through Zhang Yao’s plot at a glance, immediately adjusting his tactical strategy, listing close combat as a forbidden action, focusing on keeping his distance and protecting himself as a priority.

Zhang Yao’s expression darkened, he said nothing, but felt a bit regretful in his heart.

The Realm Breaker’s cultivation realm was higher than his, the Unity and Destiny Curse was useless, but the Blood Decay Skill, using flesh mutations as a derivative means, was also defenseless and had no realm restriction of having to be similar.

Unfortunately, after Yu Wen Tai died once, he became extremely cautious, willingly watching opportunities slip away rather than coming over to give him a fatal blow, forcing him to abandon his baiting tactics.

"Zilch!"

Their eyes clashed, Divine Thought colliding across the air, as if sparks were flying.

Zhang Yao’s scheme failed, being partly guessed by Yu Wen Tai, which meant both sides were open about their strategies, and the battle could only be decided by true skills clashing head-on.

"Humph!"

Zhang Yao grunted heavily, his complexion slightly pale.

After all, his realm was not as high, he suffered a disadvantage in the Divine Thought clash.

But he also noticed Yu Wen Tai seemed not to dare to approach him, so he immediately seized the opportunity to use the Five Spirits Divine General Talisman, transforming into a mist of five colors surrounding him.

"Boom!"

The Five-Colored Glaze Armor appeared again, Zhang Yao donning the Glazed Armor, his entire aura suddenly rising to a higher level.

Meanwhile, Yu Wen Tai was not idle:

He disappeared for a moment, and then eight figures of Yu Wen Tai emerged, each vivid and life-like, their Divine Soul and Magical Power aura identical. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Die!"

All eight Yu Wen Tais spoke in low voices, their figures flickered and jointly released a bolt of lightning.

"Boom!"

Eight bolts of lightning erupted furiously, like roaring thunder dragons twisting outwards.

Yu Wen Tai’s cultivation realm and experience resembled the rebirth of the Five Elements Wanderer from back in the day, he had long cultivated the Ten Thousand Laws Illusion Body to an incredible level, able to conceal his true self while manipulating the illusion body to perform Daoist techniques.

Among these eight bolts of lightning, only one was real, yet it could freely transform between reality and illusion; if one could not see through this trick, it meant enduring the strike of eight Thunder Dragons in succession, rendering peers’ defense like flimsy paper.

In the blink of an eye, just as Zhang Yao donned the Five-Colored Glaze Armor, the eight dragon-like bolts of lightning were already howling towards him, the ominous dragon heads exceedingly terrifying.

However, what happened next caught Yu Wen Tai by surprise:

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

Faced with the eight Thunder Dragons, Zhang Yao did not dodge or evade, letting the eight lightning bolts almost simultaneously strike him.

"What a chance!!"

Though he didn’t know what Zhang Yao was planning, Yu Wen Tai would never let such an opportunity slip by, instantly manipulating the Daoist Technique Thunder Dragons to rapidly transform between reality and illusion.

"Rumble..."

The terrifying lightning raged like a vast ocean, the entire small world was almost filled with dazzling blue-white electric light, eyes struggled to see anything.

When the overwhelming lightning gradually subsided:

Yu Wen Tai’s gaze and Divine Thought probed at once, and his expression immediately changed.

In the lightning, Zhang Yao stepped forward slowly, the Five-Colored Glaze Armor on his body tattered, covered in cracks, with quite a few charred wounds on him.

However, in just an instant, the wounds on his body healed rapidly, and the damaged parts of the Five-Colored Glaze Armor turned into colorful mist, instantly repairing to its original state.

"Such recovery ability..."

Yu Wen Tai’s mind jolted.

He didn’t know that Zhang Yao, having recently reforged the Five Spirits Divine General Talisman, almost exhausted all top-grade treasure materials, even integrating the Thousand Change Glaze Qi, focusing on strengthening the restoration aspect to complement his own talent.

The formidable restoration capability of the Five-Colored Glaze Armor, combined with Zhang Yao’s Essence Qi Transformation Talent, meant that unless someone could kill him in a single strike, or exhaust his Essence Qi over ten days or half a month, he was practically unkillable.

And Yu Wen Tai was no longer at his true self’s peak, clearly lacking such capability.

"Yu Wen Tai, this is not the same as in the past."

Zhang Yao’s voice emerged from beneath the glazed face shield, carrying a hint of stability and confidence:

"The wheel of fortune has turned, it’s my turn now!"

Before his words fully settled:

"Boom!"

Zhang Yao leaped, golden flames surged around him, his whole body shot out like a cannonball, directly targeting Yu Wen Tai’s eight illusion bodies.

Yu Wen Tai dared not slack, his true self retreating swiftly to increase distance, while manipulating illusion bodies to meet head-on, employing various Daoist techniques.

However, despite the rounds of Thunder Dragon, Heavenly Fire, and Gang Feng bombardment, Zhang Yao charged without fear, becoming bolder with each engagement, eliminating five illusion bodies within a short moment.

Simplistic Daoist techniques scarcely harmed him anymore, even in conjunction with the threat posed by the Ten Thousand Laws Illusion Body, it was very limited, granting him a temporary upper hand.

Ultimately:

After Yu Wen Tai’s rebirth, his strength was only seventy to eighty percent of what it was once as the Five Elements Wanderer; meanwhile, Zhang Yao’s strength, having reforged the Five Spirits Divine General Talisman and reaching the Foundation Establishment limit, almost doubled.

This increase and decrease resulted in the gap between their strengths being far less than before, especially since Yu Wen Tai’s true self dared not approach, crippling his techniques and further limiting his strength.

Due to multiple influencing factors, Yu Wen Tai, who once suppressed Zhang Yao from start to finish, found himself frustratedly falling behind in this confrontation.

"Buzz!"

A deep, ink-like brilliance unfolded in the sky, enveloping Zhang Yao, leaving him with no escape.

Seeing that frontal attack Daoist techniques had little effect, and various insidious methods were proving ineffective, Yu Wen Tai finally changed his tactical decision, switching to a less familiar Divine Soul Dao Skill.

Though not particularly proficient, he was nonetheless a Realm Breaker with Foundation Establishment Perfection, and with his former realm and experience reinforcing him, the power of this Divine Soul Dao Skill was still beyond anything Zhang Yao had ever encountered.

"Mo Li Divine Light!"

Zhang Yao’s expression shifted slightly, as his Magical Power surged, a forest-white radiance rose around him, surging overwhelmingly upwards.

Mo Li Divine Light VS Desolate Soul-shaking Divine Light!

"Buzz!"

Forest-white radiance and the ink-black light collided, instantly sparking an intangible, resounding shockwave, causing the souls of both combatants to momentarily stagger.

But the standoff lasted less than half a breath before the outcome was decided:

"Die!"

Yu Wen Tai was the first to recover from the daze, unleashing his strength fully, with all his Divine Thought might, causing the black light in the world to surge dramatically.

With a Foundation Establishment Perfection realm, not only were Yu Wen Tai’s Divine Soul and Divine Thought much stronger than Zhang Yao’s, most importantly, the protection and reinforcement of the ’Array of Ten Thousand Souls’ Thoughts’ provided him with a tremendous advantage in the realm of the Divine Soul!

This attack alone was enough to determine the victor, to decide life and death!
