Chapter 170 - 165: Call the Wind and Summon the Rain, Myriad Splendors Move the Heavens
In the vast emptiness of space, a space capsule floated and spun in low-earth orbit.
Inside the space capsule, Devi’s tall frame revealed a perfect upper body of muscle as he levitated cross-legged in mid-air.
This was his training ground.
With the help of his Supersensitive Intuition, Devi’s Heart Intent passed through the space capsule and soared through the cosmos, capturing the various Magnetic Field Powers in space.
In his mind’s eye, these Magnetic Field Powers manifested as the brilliant light of different nebulae.
One day, he suddenly captured a thread of intense light. The powerful Magnetic Field, the immense energy—even the light of the sun couldn’t begin to compare.
Within that scorching brilliance, a star countless light-years away reached the end of its life, using its final power to perform a magnificent bloom.
That was a "Supernova."
The magnificent power of that instantaneous explosion deeply shook Devi.
He used the magnetic field frequency he had captured from the Supernova explosion as a blueprint to create his current Secret Technique. By collapsing a brilliant "Star Cluster" within the "Mysterious Starry Sky" of his body, he could instantly push his spirit, True Intent, and magnetic field influence to their peak.
The ultimate sublimation.
This was the origin of "Supernova."
At this very moment, in the minds of the crowd, an endless brilliance erupted from Devi. Within a fifty-meter radius, any Martial Artist below the level of Ascension found it impossible to resist the terrifying influence of this sudden magnetic field eruption. They all bent over, covering their eyes, feeling an intense burning sensation all over their bodies. It was as if their very spirits were about to melt within the light.
BOOM!!
A terrifying aura shot toward the heavens. A sacred, seven-colored glow rose, accompanied by a sky-blotting Evil Qi and killing intent.
Wei Cheng’s form suddenly grew taller, revealing the Thirty-two Buddha Forms. A halo of light materialized behind his head as his Magnetic Field spread out.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
And this was only the beginning. The True Intents and auras of one Saint Expert after another rose up, and brilliant lights visible to the naked eye danced across the sky around the plaza.
In the distant high-rises, the crowds watching the battle from afar through various devices were deeply shaken by this scene.
’Human strength can actually reach such an unbelievable level.’
’Is this a duel of the Martial Arts Dao or Magical Combat between Immortals?!’
The Saint Experts unleashed their True Intent magnetic fields, forming a barrier. With them as a shield, the terrifying influence of Devi’s Supernova True Intent was largely blocked. The many Martial Artists broke free from that abnormal sensation of a piercing headache and a consciousness on the verge of melting, their eyes filled with lingering fear.
Without the protection of the Saint Experts, they would have suffered immense damage just from watching that instantaneous explosion from a distance.
’To think, many of them could be considered Martial Arts masters who presided over their own territories, yet now they don’t even have the right to watch the battle without being sheltered by others?!’
’Is this the true power of the number one fighter of the Starry Sky Country’s new generation?!’
’What’s even more terrifying is the threat and pressure Yi Beidou must be enduring, facing all of this head-on.’
The expressions on the faces of the Saint Experts were also quite grave. They understood that the duel between the two had now officially moved past the probing phase and entered a white-hot stage.
’Can Yi Beidou withstand the pressure this time?’
At this very moment, under the brilliant glare of the sudden Supernova burst, the Demon Flame on Yi Beidou’s body flickered violently. The Demon Flame, capable of refining heaven and earth, was now being forced back by the intense light, pressed tightly against Yi Beidou’s body and unable to expand outward.
The Power of Demon Flame also had its limits, and Devi’s magnetic field attack had clearly surpassed them!
’This person’s True Intent magnetic field is unbelievably scorching.’
He could actually feel his body being roasted. The magnetic field was so intense that it was creating an effect like a microwave oven.
’Heaven and earth have become a furnace!’
If not for his Demon Flame Protection, any other Saint Expert would probably have burn marks appearing on their skin. A normal person would likely already be covered in festering sores!
But there wasn’t the slightest hint of panic in his eyes. Instead, as he was roasted by the magnetic field, he felt as if his own blood was starting to boil.
Facing the incoming punch from Devi, he had no intention of dodging. He met it head-on with a Destruction Killing Tribulation palm!
Seven stars flickered in his palm, the Demon Flame condensing around them, glittering brilliantly.
Master of the Seven Stars!!
BOOM!!
Fist and palm collided. A shockwave erupted, the brilliant lights wavered, and the sound rolled outwards.
Devi’s dazzling Supernova light actually dimmed as Yi Beidou seized back half the sky!
The two exchanged a blow, the impact blasting the ground apart, but neither of them took a single step back.
Devi’s Supernova was certainly powerful, but Yi Beidou, at his peak and in perfect control of the Power of the Seven Stars, was no ordinary foe.
And this was only the beginning.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
One unleashed a continuous flurry of Palm Techniques, his Fiery Demonic Flames blotting out the sky, each wave of his killing tribulation stronger than the last. The other was a dazzling radiance, each punch seeming to hold the Power of Shattering Stars.
This was a rare exchange of Fist Techniques. It was as if a series of explosions were going off at the scene. The crowd could no longer see the two combatants clearly, as the terrifying blasts had kicked up a massive cloud of dust and debris, obscuring the site.
It was hard to imagine that the clash of human bodies could produce such a terrifying effect.
GULP!!
The Martial Artists couldn’t help but swallow hard at the sight. Even for bodies that had achieved Body Ascension, the power of this exchange was simply too exaggerated.
The surrounding Saints also had looks of shock in their eyes. The two men’s power, speed, Techniques, and True Intent had all reached an unbelievable level. Even if the older generation were to use a Forbidden Secret Technique, it was unlikely any of them could reach this state.
A new era always gives birth to new miracles.
As they clashed, the influence of their True Intents on the surroundings grew ever greater. The two brilliant lights intertwined, ebbing and flowing, swelling higher and higher. It reached a point where the assembled Saint Experts had no choice but to simultaneously raise their own auras—partly to resist the influence, and partly to protect the crowd behind them. Otherwise, it was doubtful any Martial Artist below the level of Ascension could remain unharmed at such close range.
Two auras surged, supported by the protective auras of nearly thirty others, shooting straight into the sky. To the naked eye, ribbons of brilliant light could be seen winding around the heavens, climbing ever higher.
Then, the crowd witnessed an unbelievable sight.
Fierce winds began to blow around the plaza. Clouds gathered in the sky, which gradually grew overcast. Vaguely, they could even see the cloud layer churning ceaselessly.
The sky above the plaza darkened.
Yet just a few kilometers away from the plaza, the sun was still shining brightly.
Passing pedestrians couldn’t help but stop and look up, somewhat confused, while the spectators watching the fight around the plaza were completely stunned.
"Is this real or an illusion?! I feel like I can’t tell what’s real anymore!"
"What the hell?! They’re changing the weather?! Calling the Wind and Summoning the Rain?!"
"Outrageous!! This is just too outrageous! Can human power really shake the heavens?!"
"Quick, pinch me! Am I dreaming?"
"..."
This magical, scalp-numbing spectacle had already left the remote spectators dazed with astonishment.
Call the Wind and Summon the Rain!
This was a phrase used to describe the True Immortals of old, and in fact, such things really did happen.
In a place like a mountain forest, where the weather is volatile, a Saint Expert forcefully releasing their magnetic field could stir the Power of Nature and cause meteorological shifts.
For example, back on Cloud Prison Mountain, Tao Zihong had set up a Five Thunder Array, which triggered changes in the thunderclouds in the sky and caused a torrential downpour.
However, in a city full of steel and concrete, it was a hundred times more difficult to Call the Wind and Summon the Rain with human power alone.
But the situation now was different. With two modern-day prodigies clashing and the True Intent magnetic fields of nearly thirty Saint Experts surging, it was enough to trigger a change in the weather even in this concrete jungle.
Brilliant light moves the heavens!
In the plaza, Yi Beidou and Devi exchanged dozens of blows, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
But amid this fierce clash, their Physical Ability and spirits spurred each other on, continuously rising to new heights.
Devi’s gaze lowered. He had never encountered an opponent who could fight him to this extent when he was going all out. Under the assault of Yi Beidou’s terrifying physical body and the Destruction Killing Tribulation condensed from Demon Flame, he gradually entered a wondrous state.
Collision, explosion, deathly silence, rebirth.
A Supernova is the final swan song of a star. From the lowest point of annihilation, the most dazzling brilliance is born.
At this moment, under the pressure from Yi Beidou, he truly understood the True Intent of the Supernova.
Originally, this Secret Technique was powerful, but for him, it still had side effects. Just like Yi Beidou’s Celestial Slaughter Seven Stars, prolonged use would damage the body.
But now that he had grasped its true essence, he could unleash it without restraint, releasing even greater power.
VMMM!!
The brilliant light erupting from his body solidified into tangible rays, converging on his fist like a rushing torrent before sweeping toward Yi Beidou.
Supernova: Radiant Torrent!
The situation began to change.
Under the assault of Devi’s perfected Supernova, Yi Beidou’s figure began to retreat, and the Beidou Seven Stars in the sky started to waver.
"You’ve lost! The Beidou Seven Stars are but one corner of the starry sky, and you are merely flesh and blood. How can you possibly stand against the great power I have drawn from the sea of stars!!"
Devi’s voice boomed, as if he could already see the end of the battle.
He drew great power from the cosmos, while Yi Beidou only commanded the paltry power of the Beidou stars. How could he possibly compete?!
But at this moment, Yi Beidou’s gaze was just as calm. At the climax of the battle, the full potential of his Demon Body and sovereign Divine Sense was completely unleashed.
"You’re wrong. The sea of stars was formed by nature. How can it be called great? The only thing that has ever been great is the one who creates miracles. Even the sea of stars will one day be a plaything in the palm of my hand."
"Remember the name: Yi Beidou!!"
Yi Beidou’s eyes flew open as scenes flashed through his mind.
The Celestial Demon Inquiry Dao questioning the high heavens.
The Destruction Killing Tribulation weighing the lives of all beings.
The Zizai Dharma Seal inverting heaven and earth.
The Celestial Slaughter Seven Stars seizing power from the Deities.
The Heaven-Devouring Demon Flame refining heaven and earth.
His Dao was never in heaven and earth, but within himself.
Heaven and earth are finite, but the human heart is infinite.
The things of nature can hardly be called great; only the heart that masters nature is truly great!
He was Yi Beidou, a Celestial Demon descended to the mortal world to reverse the course of fate.
With the power of a man, he would shatter all limits, move Tai Mountain, and shift the very stars of Beidou!!
The many Saint Experts suddenly looked to the sky, their pupils contracting to needlepoints.
The flickering Beidou Seven Stars in the sky were actually moving, inverting their position!
