The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 155: Killing Forbidden Technique: Heaven-Reaching Finger

Although a Half-Step Martial Emperor is just one realm higher than them, it is a world of difference.

The path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult, especially the barrier from a Martial King to a Martial Emperor Realm, which is like a heavenly chasm.

Takeuchi Hachime is just one step away from entering the Martial Emperor Realm, with an insurmountable distance from the Late-Stage Martial King.

Takeuchi Hachime has already begun to form a Martial Seal, glimpsing the Martial Emperor Realm.

Cultivating to condense a Martial Seal signifies the initial manifestation of Divine Techniques, the hallmark being True Qi Condensation and divine attacks.

It’s similar to a Spirit Master’s Spirit Technique attack, but the True Qi Condensation of a Martial Emperor is more terrifying, almost overwhelming Spirit Kings and Spirit Masters of lower realms; they’re on completely different levels.

True Qi Condensation can be supplemented with Martial Arts Techniques, such as how Ling Tianlong, though only at the Martial King Realm, can achieve True Qi Condensation, mainly due to the power of Ling Zhantian’s unparalleled cultivation technique.

Of course, entering the Martial Emperor Realm is a whole new world, something unreachable for Martial King experts in their lifetime...

Takeuchi Hachime’s aura rapidly surged, his True Qi like angry waves crashing against the shore, scattering terrifyingly in all directions.

"Boom..."

Instantly, a large bamboo forest shattered, directly leveled to the ground.

The surrounding air was compressed massively, emitting resounding explosive noises, as if the space was about to be torn apart.

"So terrifying!"

Even within the Wangyue Pavilion, a Half-Step Martial Emperor belongs to the ranks of top experts, rarely seen on ordinary days.

Thus, the three of Xuan Long were deeply shocked, with terror reflected in their eyes.

"No matter who you are, today I swear to tear you to pieces!"

Takeuchi Hachime’s eyes glinted with a sinister light, his terrifying True Qi cutting through space like a blade.

A domineering aura emanated, an overwhelming killing intent rapidly filling the place, the air instantly being sucked away, making it hard for everyone to breathe, even to the point of suffocation.

"Sizzle!"

True Qi surged on Takeuchi Hachime’s right hand, transforming into a ghostly blue short blade.

"Sizzle!"

Immediately, a dazzling white light streaked like a lightning bolt, akin to a silver serpent dancing, sweeping over with icy, frigid intent, descending overwhelmingly.

A shadow of death loomed over Ye Qingtian.

The cold killing intent instantly engulfed Ye Qingtian, the blade tip approaching his throat like a venomous snake striking.

So fast it caught people off guard, too fast to evade.

But Ye Qingtian’s eyes flashed coldly, a cold grin curving his lips, and his left hand, with five fingers spread, reached out with immense force.

"Snap!"

Ye Qingtian smashed through the Solidification Sword of True Qi with a loud snap, his speed unabated as he grabbed Takeuchi Hachime’s shoulder, a mist of blood scattering.

"This... even a Martial Emperor was defeated so easily?"

The three of Xuan Long were utterly dumbfounded, the scene before them was terrifically horrifying.

Yet, Takeuchi Hachime, swift as lightning, vanished instantly using a Ninja Technique.

In truth, Takeuchi Hachime’s hiding technique is even better than Nekomata’s...

"Vanishing Slash!"

Then, hidden in the shadows, Takeuchi Hachime suddenly appeared above Ye Qingtian’s head, letting out a cold shout as he dropped a samurai sword infused with peerless True Qi killing intent.

The long blade whirled, generating an icy chill, surging over like tidal waves.

Like a haunting rainbow, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, the terrifying blade light fell like a galaxy, a blinding whiteness rushing forward seamlessly.

This slash contained Takeuchi Hachime’s strongest killing force!

The majestic True Qi of a Half-Step Martial Emperor was fully revealed, the blade glowing ghostly blue like blazing flames.

"Boom!"

The terrifying slash whipped up a terrifying gale, sweeping across the scene, forcing everyone to retreat several hundred meters.

"Too terrifying!"

The three of Xuan Long couldn’t imagine the terror of this strike; if they encountered it, they’d only be bisected.

"Ding!"

"Crack!"

Amidst a crisp sound, Takeuchi Hachime’s sure-kill blade broke in two.

Simultaneously, Takeuchi Hachime flew back like a kite with its string cut, blood spilling all the way.

Xuan Long’s eyes nearly popped out; he clearly saw Ye Qingtian snapping the samurai sword with just a flick of his finger.

Takeuchi Hachime’s body crashed to the ground heavily, coughing up blood continuously, looking at Ye Qingtian with terror and fury in her gaze.

"Woman, to be honest, you’re decent, better than those idiots."

Ye Qingtian chuckled.

"You..."

The few of Qing Ling were about to explode with rage; wasn’t Ye Qingtian referring to them?

"This time, if you don’t kill me, you won’t have another chance!"

Takeuchi Hachime shouted fiercely, turning into a black light and disappearing.

"I’m curious to see what trick you’ve got up your sleeve?"

Ye Qingtian watched with great interest.

"Nine Demons Slash!"

Takeuchi Hachime reappeared, a destructive aura spreading.

The Martial Seal on her forehead dimmed further, her face flushed, evidently ready for a desperate struggle.

In everyone’s eyes, it seemed like lightning tore through the void, nine red blade lights suddenly appeared, sinister yet dazzling.

The surrounding environment underwent great changes, as if night had fallen, shrouded in a sinister crimson.

In a flash, the nine blade lights merged into one, an earth-splitting slash.

But this slash was a True Qi Condensation Blade, not a real one, yet superior to any previous tangible blades.

"The Divine King of Orochi Divine Association is forcibly using a True Qi Condensation move; looks like she’s risking it all!"

"This person’s situation doesn’t look good!"

Xuan Long wanted to help, but the battle between the two had reached a critical point.

With the Qi Force spilling over, just a touch would severely injure him, let alone assist.

"Killing Forbidden Technique: Heaven-Reaching Finger!"

Ye Qingtian’s expression turned solemn, pointing a finger toward the sky.

Immediately, an earth-shattering aura surged forth.

A Qi Force, unmatched, turned all life into a dead end, the earth a purgatory.

A finger tore through space, completely ripping apart the crimson shroud, as if sweeping away clouds to reveal the sun.

"Boom!"

The crimson blade lights shattered and dissipated into the heavens and earth.

"Snap!"

Takeuchi Hachime was struck by this finger, her body exploding into pieces, blood mist splattering, apparently dead beyond dead.

"She’s dead just like that?"

Xuan Long and the others were filled with indelible shock and terror in their eyes.

"Oh? She’s still not dead?"

Ye Qingtian raised the corner of his mouth, smiling as he spoke.

Takeuchi Hachime slowly climbed up from the ground, though she was already a bloody mess, her eyes still stared at Ye Qingtian resolutely.

"She’s risking her life, using some sinister secret method to burn her Life Essence Qi to boost her power!"

"Even if she wins, she’ll die in the end!"

Xuan Long and the others noticed something amiss, exclaimed in surprise.

"Now I finally know who you are, King of Atlantis..."

Takeuchi Hachime was like a lunatic: "Orochi Divine Association was destroyed at your hands, I have to kill you to justify it to them!"

"Oh? With what will you kill me?"

Ye Qingtian asked.

"You forgot, they carried a kind of Spiritual Artifact. With it, I’ll definitely kill you!"

Takeuchi Hachime grew more confident, with bloodthirsty killing intent flashing in her eyes.
