Chapter 1277 - 1277 435 Yama Emperor_2
1277: Chapter 435 Yama Emperor_2 1277: Chapter 435 Yama Emperor_2 Calculations raced in his heart, and his hands and feet never ceased to move.The Qingyun Mark appeared and disappeared, as Jiang Wang’s steps followed in quick succession, his sword lunging swiftly.
Using the superior movement ability of the Flat Step Qingyun Immortal Technique, he abruptly appeared before Qin Zhizhen, slashing horizontally with his sword, marking the line between life and death!
Qin Zhizhen, however, did not engage in battle, simply stepping back into the inky portal behind him.
Jiang Wang swept his hand back, transforming the nail of killing intent into a frosty breeze that drifted lightly to the ground.
The Killing Power of Buzhou Wind!
Whoosh~
The chilling Buzhou Wind blew past, shattering the dark portal on the spot.
Yet, Jiang Wang’s brows furrowed.
He had not felt the annihilation of power at all; the Buzhou Wind had just swept through, shattering nothing but the air itself.
As expected, that gloomy portal was only a projection of some power.
The real core of power was in the preparations that Qin Zhizhen had been making with closed eyes in the void earlier.
Even the Killing Power of the Buzhou Wind couldn’t destroy it, for it cannot reach across the distance between the material world and the void!
This is troublesome!
The earlier Sword Flowers and Flame Sparrows and the Eight Sounds Burning Sea had all disappeared directly, probably guided into the void.
And after his Buzhou Wind blew past, what disappeared was that projection, enough to prove that the Killing Power of the Buzhou Wind was not something that the power represented by that portal could guide, and it indeed could cause it actual harm.
But even so, with Qin Zhizhen wholly evading combat, Buzhou Wind’s Killing Power was of no use!
What to do?
Jiang Wang rapidly contemplated solutions.
In another corner of the Arena, yet another inky portal appeared, casting a fan-shaped shadow.
Qin Zhizhen emerged carrying his sword, and this time two new mythological entities followed behind him.
One with the head of an ox and body of a man, strong and bulky, wielding a steel fork.
And the other with the head of a horse and body of a man, tall and lean, holding a long spear.
These were Oxhead and Horseface!
Like Black and White Impermanence, they are also common forms summoned in evocation.
Even to this day, in many places, there are rituals to summon Oxhead and Horseface.
They are not true deities, and in the Underworld, there are no real entities of Oxhead and Horseface occupying divine positions.
So-called Yama Emperor, Life and Death Judge, Oxhead and Horseface, Black and White Impermanence…
they were mythical images condensed by those powerful cultivators with great strength during the heyday of the Divine Way, for ease in battle.
To be precise, these “summoned deities” were all conferred by the Human Race.
In some ways, their significance is similar to totemic figures used by cultivators on the Floating Land to represent deities.
To say “summoning deities” is merely a symbol for easy enslavement and manipulation, another form of battle puppet.
Nevertheless, these mythological images have deeply penetrated the hearts of people, and to this day, many stories are still relayed by word of mouth.
Of course, “mythology” is a very complex field, with true “history,” half-truths and legends, information that signifies ancient eras, and outright fabrications.
Only those who have lived through the long passage of time and are powerful enough can truly understand it in its entirety.
Most of the time, it’s sufficient just to listen.
Jiang Wang, who once had a near-death experience, also vaguely saw Black and White Impermanence, a deep-rooted impression left by mythological tales, a kind of hallucination.
Having reached his current level of cultivation, he has long understood the truth about Black and White Impermanence and harbors no fear of Oxhead and Horseface.
The Divine Way?
It’s simply a method of cultivation that has been phased out by time!
As soon as Qin Zhizhen appeared with Oxhead and Horseface, Jiang Wang immediately stepped onto his Azure Cloud Immortal Technique.
However, Qin Zhizhen too was resolute, turning around to deliver two slashes, with cross-cutting blades sharp beyond compare, instantly killing Oxhead and Horseface!
The head of the ox rolled away, Horseface’s head soared high.
Then, they both disintegrated along with their bodies, plunging into the endless darkness.
The imposing aura of Oxhead and Horseface was indeed stronger than Black and White Impermanence, but the degree of strength was not as exaggerated as the Netherworld Ghost Soldiers compared to Black and White Impermanence.
This was because the force of White Impermanence was inexplicably annihilated, unable to be reclaimed by Yama Palace.
At this point, Qin Zhizhen, without further hope, simply gave up the possibility of seizing more power, choosing instead to cut down Oxhead and Horseface.
He aimed to quickly push Yama Palace to its final phase, manifesting Yama’s Real Body, and with the peak power at this stage, sweep through the battlefield once more!
Although Jiang Wang did not fully understand Yama Palace and did not know what might the Divine Skills of Qin Zhizhen might display in the final stages, he could still imagine a thing or two.
As time passed, the beings emerging from the dark portal would only grow stronger.
The terrifying oppression of facing an invincible and increasingly powerful opponent is beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
It could almost be compared to Yan Xiao.
And the existence of Yan Xiao nearly crushed the entire Senhai Holy Clan!
Jiang Wang, of course, possessed an unyielding will, constantly thinking of strategies, actively seeking to attack.
But each of his sword strikes still came to naught.
The Buzhou Wind blew only to shatter illusions.
It’s so difficult!!
Qin Zhizhen clearly possessed immense combat power, yet he refused to engage in battle at all.
He was single-mindedly using his ability to traverse the void, continuously moving about, continuously accumulating power, all for the sake of powering up his Divine Skills.
It could be foreseen—
When he eventually makes his move, it will shake the heavens!
Yama Palace is not an insoluble Divine Skill.
Such Divine Skills typically have their greatest weakness in the skill itself.
For they must manifest, connecting heaven and earth, to continually create impacts, accumulate power, and keep advancing.
If one could directly attack the manifest form of such Divine Skills, shattering them, even turning them to ashes with the Buzhou Wind…
