191: Chapter 191 The Defeat of the Overlord Martial God, the Emergence of the Vast Ocean Martial God
"A Three-Star Martial God?"
"No, that's not right. His Metal Rule and War Rule have not reached Perfection; he can only be considered a pseudo Three-Star Martial God."
"But, how did he fuse the Rule Seed without mastering the power of the rules to Perfection?"
The powerful Martial Gods and Demon Gods watching from the shadows were also astonished by Martial God Han Qingcang's strength.
In their hearts, they accorded this newly promoted Martial God, Martial God Han Qingcang, a bit more respect.
Martial God Han Qingcang's Rule Seed had already fused three types of Rule powers; it was only a matter of time before he broke through to a Three-Star Martial God.
One must know that there were few Martial God powerhouses in the Great Xia Alliance, and those above the Three-Star level were extremely rare.
"Ho... how is that possible?"
Martial God Huang Batian looked at Martial God Han Qingcang in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly. "You just broke through, yet you have already fused three types of Rule powers?"
At this moment, a stormy sea was raging in his heart.
Martial God Han Qingcang, a newly promoted Martial God, had actually already fused three types of Rule powers?
His own second rule had reached Perfection over a decade ago, yet he had been unable to fuse it into his Rule Seed to break through to a Two-Star Martial God.
How did Martial God Han Qingcang manage to do it?
Besides, his Metal Rule and War Rule haven't reached Perfection yet, right!
"There is nothing impossible."
Martial God Han Qingcang stood with his hands behind his back, the three-colored Rule powers circulating endlessly around him, his gray robes flapping loudly in the wind.
His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, carrying an unquestionable majesty.
Martial God Huang Batian's Face was livid. Although the wound on his chest was nothing for a Martial God and could heal instantly...
But losing in front of everyone to Martial God Han Qingcang, a newly promoted Martial God, left him with nowhere to hide his Face.
"So what if you have fused three rules?"
Martial God Huang Batian gritted his teeth, his Metal and Earth rules surging once more. The golden sharpness and the earth-yellow barrier intertwined to form an overwhelming Domain.
"Your other two rules have not reached Perfection. Today, I want to see how long you, a pseudo Three-Star Martial God, can hold out!"
As he spoke, he quickly formed hand seals. The Metal Rule and Earth Rule converged above his head, transforming into the phantom of a thousand-foot mountain.
The mountain was entirely golden, as if cast from pure gold, with the heavy Earth Rule flowing across its surface. The pressure it emitted caused the entire defensive array of Modu Base City to tremble violently.
This was his trump card—the Golden Mountain Heaven-Suppressing Seal.
With metal as the bone and earth as the flesh, the two Perfected rules fused perfectly, creating power comparable to the full-force strike of a Two-Star Martial God.
"Go!"
Martial God Huang Batian roared, and the thousand-foot golden mountain crashed down.
In the Face of this strike, the Void Realm was like paper, crushed into dark spatial rifts.
For the first time, a look of seriousness flashed in Martial God Han Qingcang's eyes; he did not dare to be careless.
The Perfected Thunder Rule condensed into a sea of lightning above his head. Eighty percent of the Metal Rule transformed into countless golden sword beams darting through the sea of lightning, while sixty percent of the War Rule burned into crimson-gold flames of Battle Intent. The three Rule powers intertwined into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
"Three Styles as One—Thunder Punishment!"
He pointed a finger, and the three-colored pillar of light shot up, colliding violently with the thousand-foot golden mountain.
"Rumble..."
At the center of the collision, space shattered, creating a black hole hundreds of feet wide.
Under the impact of the three-colored pillar of light, the golden mountain trembled violently, its surface golden light peeling away in layers.
Both of them were sent flying backward, only to steady themselves in an instant.
Martial God Han Qingcang appeared calm and composed.
Martial God Huang Batian, however, turned pale, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
The golden mountain was connected to his mind; when the mountain was damaged, he was injured as well.
But he gritted his teeth, doing his utmost to maintain the golden mountain, veins bulging on his forehead, a flash of madness in his eyes.
He was the dignified Martial God Batian, a veteran Martial God powerhouse of decades; how could he lose to a newly promoted Martial God?
Where would he hide his Face in the future?
"Break for me!"
Martial God Han Qingcang waved his right hand, and the three-colored pillar of light emitted a dazzling radiance.
With a loud "Rumble," Martial God Huang Batian's Rule golden mountain shattered instantly, and the intense shockwave instantly blasted countless spatial rifts into the Void Realm.
"Pfft..."
The moment the golden mountain was broken, Martial God Huang Batian spat out a mouthful of blood, his Face turning as pale as paper.
However, it was not over yet. Although the three-colored pillar of light had dimmed significantly, it still tore through space and slammed into Martial God Huang Batian at a speed that Divine Sense could hardly track.
With a loud "Boom," Martial God Huang Batian was sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing through several mountains outside Modu Base City before barely stopping.
He struggled to stand up, his clothes tattered, his Face pale as paper, a deep wound reaching the bone on his chest, dripping with blood.
His eyes were filled with unwillingness and humiliation.
He had lost.
Lost to a newcomer who had just broken through to Martial God.
"Martial God Batian is defeated?"
"Martial God Han Qingcang won? A newly promoted Martial God defeated the famous Martial God Batian of decades?"
"Martial God Han Qingcang's strength is too terrifying."
In Modu Base City, countless Divine Thoughts intertwined in the void, filled with shock, horror, and disbelief.
The powerful Martial Gods and Demon Gods watching from the shadows were equally shaken in their hearts.
Someone who had just broken through to Martial God had actually already fused three types of Rule powers; although not at Perfection, their combat power was no worse than a Two-Star Martial God.
And truly breaking through to a Three-Star Martial God was only a matter of time.
Martial God Han Qingcang stood with his hands behind his back, his gray robes flapping in the wind. He did not pursue but looked down at Martial God Huang Batian from above, saying indifferently:
"Martial God Huang Batian, you have lost. Let it end here!"
He knew that with his current strength, defeating Martial God Huang Batian was easy, but killing him was impossible.
"Hmph, you are stronger than me, but do you really think you have won?"
Martial God Huang Batian snorted coldly. His body instantly appeared above the Black Wind Mountain Range, facing Martial God Han Qingcang from a distance.
"Brother Lin, come out! Let us take down Martial God Han Qingcang together, and the favor you owed me will be wiped clean."
Martial God Huang Batian's voice was like a thunderclap, exploding over the Black Wind Mountain Range.
As soon as he finished speaking, the void deep within the Black Wind Mountain Range suddenly tore open.
A green figure stepped out from the rift, standing with hands behind his back. Green Wind Rule and light blue Water Rule circulated endlessly around him.
It was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old, with a thin Face and wearing a green robe. The whole person was like a drawn sharp sword, sharp and exposed.
"Martial God Canghai!"
"Is it Lin Canghai of the Jinling Lin family?"
"Martial God Huang Batian actually invited him out; Martial God Han Qingcang is in danger now."
Countless Divine Thoughts intertwined in the void, filled with shock, horror, and regret.
Other Martial God powerhouses watching from the shadows also began to watch the show.
They wanted to see where Martial God Han Qingcang's limit was and how long he could hold out against Martial God Huang Batian and Lin Canghai.
"Martial God Canghai, this is a matter between me and Martial God Huang Batian. Do you also intend to intervene?"
Martial God Han Qingcang looked at the suddenly appearing Lin Canghai, his gaze slightly narrowing.
He naturally knew Lin Canghai.
The Old Ancestor of the Jinling Lin family, he had broken through to Martial God for over a hundred years and was one of the first batch of human powerhouses after the Spiritual Qi recovery began.
Although not as famous as Martial God Huang Batian, his strength was equally unfathomable.
More importantly, his Rule Seed had already fused the two Perfected Rule powers of Wind and Water; he was a genuine Two-Star Martial God.
His combat power could not be underestimated. If both of them attacked together, the one to lose would only be himself.
"Hehe... Sorry! Martial God Qingcang, I owed Brother Huang a big favor on the Void Battlefield previously. Today he wants me to repay it, so I have no choice but to take action. Please forgive me."
Lin Canghai looked at Martial God Han Qingcang opposite him and smiled faintly.
He spoke of apologies, but there was no sense of apology in his eyes.
As he spoke, the Wind and Water Rule powers circulating around him were like an invisible giant net, enveloping the entire heaven and earth.
The pressure of a Two-Star Martial God crushed down like a physical substance, intertwining with Martial God Huang Batian's Metal and Earth rules to form an invisible cage, locking Martial God Han Qingcang firmly inside.
Martial God Huang Batian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Martial God Han Qingcang, I admit your strength is impressive. But today, I want you to know the consequences of offending me, Martial God Huang Batian."
As his voice fell, golden light surged around him again. The earth-yellow Rule power condensed into a thick barrier beneath his feet, echoing from afar with Lin Canghai's Wind-Water Domain.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiched Martial God Han Qingcang in the middle. The two Domains intertwined and overlapped, completely locking down the space for hundreds of miles around.
Martial God Han Qingcang stood in place, frowning slightly; he also felt immense pressure.
He shifted his gaze from Martial God Huang Batian to Lin Canghai. "Lin Canghai, are you sure you want to offend me, Martial God Han Qingcang, for the sake of Martial God Huang Batian?"
Lin Canghai smiled faintly and said nothing, but his attitude had already explained everything.
"Since that is the case, then let us fight! I hope you do not regret it."
As Martial God Han Qingcang spoke, with a "Boom," the Battle Intent within his body rose up. There was no fear in his eyes, but rather, a burning, frenzied Battle Intent.
Under the pressure of the two, the original sixty percent of the War Rule instantly broke through, reaching seventy percent.
His aura suddenly surged by a large margin.
