Chapter 2105: Grotto Heaven Battle! (I)
b.a.s.t.a.r.d! w.a.n.g Chong mentally cursed. He had not expected Genesis Supreme to be so sinister and despicable. Though he had been speaking to Li Xuantu, appearing to be about to fight with him to the death, when he truly took action, he had targeted the weakest of the three.
“Genesis Supreme, you’re truly shameless!”
w.a.n.g Chong angrily roared, thrusting a palm at the giant bell hanging over the three divine embryos. At the same time, Divine Embryos 2 and 3 poured all their energy into Divine Embryo 1.
“Great Destruction Art!”
w.a.n.g Chong didn’t have many moves that could disrupt s.p.a.cetime energy, but the Great Destruction Art was one of them.
A powerful man could beat ten martial artists, and while w.a.n.g Chong’s Great Destruction Art couldn’t open s.p.a.cetime pa.s.sages or control s.p.a.ce, through pure brute force, it could shatter the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
Boom!
With a heaven-shaking boom, the area where the three divine embryos were standing darkened, and then s.p.a.ce shattered like a mirror, opening up into a s.p.a.cetime black hole.
This destructive power had a hindering effect on the giant white-gold bell and the Halos of s.p.a.cetime Genesis Supreme had placed under the three divine embryos. They paused for a moment, and w.a.n.g Chong seized the chance to have the three divine embryos sink beneath the earth and avoid the fatal strike.
Genesis Supreme’s eyes flickered for a moment.
Amongst these supreme experts, w.a.n.g Chong was the weakest, but he was also the one with the most surprises.
“I’ll spare your life for now!”
Upon seeing that w.a.n.g Chong and his three divine embryos had all vanished into the earth, Genesis Supreme stopped his pursuit, his face chilling as he turned to Li Xuantu and Li Heng.
Buzz!
Suddenly, Genesis Supreme’s body blurred, and then he vanished.
On the ground, Li Xuantu sensed something, and his eyes became as sharp as blades. The moment Genesis Supreme disappeared, he shook his body and vanished as well.
For a moment, the world was quiet.
But the next moment—
Bang!
Several dozen feet from the ground, two ‘severed arms’ extended out of the void, their palms clas.h.i.+ng. Kaboom! The world swayed as a shockwave infused with the laws of the Grotto Heaven realm swept out from Taiji Palace.
“Ah!”
With cries of alarm, the ones nearest to the clash, the Dragon Guards and General Li, were swept up like leaves.
They were not the only ones caught up in the shockwave. Fumeng Lingcha, Duan Zhuyan, Huang Tianzhao, and the imperial prison escapees behind them were all struck and sent flying like ragdolls.
The weaker prisoners were thrown several dozen feet through the air and vanished into the crowd.
“Hurry and retreat!”
The eyes of the Imperial Army soldiers in the distance widened in fear.
They finally understood why w.a.n.g Chong had ordered them to retreat.
The power unleashed by the clash of these two was simply unbelievable. Not even the Dragon Guards could withstand the shockwave, let alone others.
If they had maintained their encirclement, the Imperial Army would have probably suffered grievous losses.
Bang!
On the south side of Taiji Palace, a group of Imperial Army soldiers watched as white-gold and black energies hurtled toward them, fear on their faces as they accepted their deaths. But in a flash of light, w.a.n.g Chong appeared in front of them and blocked this energy with his palm.
“Hurry and retreat!” he gravely ordered, the hair at his temples flailing in the wind.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
The soldiers retreated in a panic.
w.a.n.g Chong stood there and grimly looked at the most intense point of spatial disturbance.
Li Xuantu and Genesis Supreme were both more frightening than he had imagined. Taiji Palace was barely able to withstand the shock, and cracking and groaning was coming from inside the walls.
The countless defensive, strengthening, stronghold, and reinforcement formations that had been built into the walls had been the work of numerous inscription and formation masters, and even the Sage Emperor had worked to further reinforce the walls.
But the impact of Grotto Heaven Stellar Energy and the crus.h.i.+ng power of s.p.a.cetime energy was shattering these inscriptions and formations with astonis.h.i.+ng speed.
Once half of the nearly one million formations and inscriptions within the walls had been broken, it would mean the end to the several-century history of this palace that had served as the heart of imperial authority.
“These two are far too powerful!”
w.a.n.g Chong focused his gaze on the two figures in the air.
Dark silhouettes appeared in the air as pitch-black and white-gold Halos of s.p.a.cetime collided against each other again and again, their collisions creating steely clangs.
From w.a.n.g Chong’s perspective, there were at least five illusory figures at Genesis Supreme’s position.
Each one was ‘Genesis Supreme’!
This was not purely a matter of speed. Genesis Supreme was using Grotto Heaven laws to open up five Halos of s.p.a.cetime, five short-distance s.p.a.cetime pa.s.sages which he was constantly moving between.
The five ‘Genesis Supremes’ exerted a formidable pressure on Li Xuantu, mighty attacks capable of sundering mountains approaching from all sides. If not for the unique composition of Taiji Palace, the area would have been turned into flat ground long ago.
On the other side, Li Xuantu’s body was engulfed by a dark shadow.
His moves were clean and straightforward, each attack imbued with immense power.
His chilling eyes were as sharp as swords, not even the shadows able to conceal it. These were unforgettable eyes that would leave a mark on the minds of whoever saw them.
Li Xuantu was proud and arrogant, whether in battle or at any other occasion!
Genesis Supreme found the wrong person! He shouldn’t have had Li Xuantu break the formation! w.a.n.g Chong commented to himself, his heart in turmoil.
While Li Xuantu had helped him break the Three Emperors Formation, he had also brought his own set of troubles.
Li Xuantu was a man who would never bow to another. Not even the Sage Emperor imprisoning him for decades had been able to wipe away his pride, let alone this newcomer, Genesis Supreme.
He would not be controlled by anyone!
However, a moment later, w.a.n.g Chong frowned, his heart sinking.
“Li Xuantu is no match for Genesis Supreme!”
While the battle in front of Taiji Palace was intense, in reality, Li Xuantu was being suppressed this whole time.
After a moment of thought, w.a.n.g Chong understood what was going on. While Li Xuantu was talented, he was still young compared to a monster like Genesis Supreme, who had lived for thousands of years. His understanding and grasp of Grotto Heaven laws was far inferior to Genesis Supreme’s.
It was already very impressive that he had held off Genesis Supreme for so long.
“No! I have to help him!”
w.a.n.g Chong’s heart thumped in dismay. He summoned his three divine embryos and vanished into the earth.
When the lips were gone, the teeth would feel cold. Genesis Supreme reigned supreme over the rest, and once Li Xuantu was defeated, it would be w.a.n.g Chong’s turn.
Bang!
A few moments later, when the battle between the two Grotto Heaven experts had reached its maximum intensity, a furious roar came from beneath Taiji Palace.
“Your Highness Crown Prince, let’s work together!
“Great Destruction Art!”
w.a.n.g Chong’s three divine embryos each placed a hand on w.a.n.g Chong, their energy surging into his body.
Boom!
When the four ‘w.a.n.g Chongs’ combined their strength, the world paled.
“You dare!”
Sensing this energy about to erupt from the earth like a volcano, Genesis Supreme grimaced.
Not even he could disregard the combined might of four w.a.n.g Chongs.
“Supreme Unity Style!”
His eyes widening, Genesis Supreme raised a palm, a giant white-gold Halo of s.p.a.cetime appearing on the ground and moving toward w.a.n.g Chong.
But surprisingly, just when w.a.n.g Chong was preparing to focus entirely on dealing with Genesis Supreme’s attack, another attack came from the side.
“Stand aside! This prince needs no one’s help!”
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Li Xuantu, you’re crazy!”
w.a.n.g Chong was enraged.
He had been moving toward Genesis Supreme in the air, but now, he was forced to descend back to the ground.
Even though he was clearly helping Li Xuantu, to his surprise, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was joining Genesis Supreme in attacking him.
w.a.n.g Chong had never expected this!
“This prince works with no one! Get out of here! I can deal with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d alone!” Li Xuantu’s icy voice came from the heavens.
Seeing that w.a.n.g Chong had fallen back, he did not press the issue, calling back his attack and continuing his fierce battle with Genesis Supreme.
Back on the ground, w.a.n.g Chong had turned ashen.
He had gone out of his way to help Li Xuantu, but this fellow was so proud that he did not permit anyone to a.s.sist him.
If he had not reacted quickly, he might have even died to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s palm.
“Your Highness, what do we do?” a voice whispered into his ear. At this time, the heavily injured Zhao Fengchen and the other Grand Marshals had arrived.
They were all badly injured, but the determined Imperial Army Marshals had managed to save them.
Taiji Palace was of extreme importance, and Li Heng even more so. Even though they were all heavily injured, they still struggled on.
