503: Once is not enough, try again

Outside the city, Yang Dian was wondering if all the high-end combat power of the Great Yu Dynasty had died on Lingwen Star when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura, no weaker than his own, rising from the direction of the Great Yu Celestial Palace, beneath his Qi and blood giant hand.

“Another Celestial Official of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty?”

“Feels a bit stronger than the Celestial Official of Stars.”

Lost in thought, Yang Dian’s body moved, passing through the Formation barrier protecting the Great Yu Immortal Capital, a step ahead of his Qi and blood giant hand, and entered the Immortal Capital.

“Boom!”

As the Qi and blood giant hand landed on the protective shield, shaking the foundations of the Immortal Capital, Yang Dian also curled his fingers into a claw, fiercely tearing towards the Martial Celestial Official who had just flown out of the Celestial Palace’s range.

“Screech~”

Five dark fissures, originating from Yang Dian, tore through space, spanning the sky of the Immortal Capital, striking directly at the Martial Celestial Official.

The Martial Celestial Official, facing a head-on strike, his expression changed dramatically.

He hadn't expected Yang Dian to be able to pass directly through the Immortal Capital’s city-protecting Formation and enter the city.

Even more, he hadn't expected Yang Dian to attack immediately without a word.

If the Celestial Emperor hadn't died, Yang Dian's actions would be considered reckless, delivering himself to death.

If the Great Yu Celestial Emperor had died, then they were the strongest in the Immortal Dynasty.

In such a situation, what matter couldn't be calmly discussed?

They were all strong individuals; how uneconomical would it be to fight to the death and injure oneself?

When forces were evenly matched, wasn't the best choice to engage in verbal sparring openly and divide benefits secretly?

Although he was annoyed that Yang Dian attacked without a word, the Martial Celestial Official was, after all, a strong individual who had experienced countless battles.

With a thought, he activated his magic power to conjure a protective shield, then with a flick of his single hand, he pulled out a gilded long spear:

“How dare you trespass into my Great Yu Immortal Capital.”

Since Yang Dian chose to fight, the Martial Celestial Official naturally wouldn't fear him.

Their auras were roughly similar; how could he, the Martial Celestial Official, ever fear someone of the same Realm?

“Those who offend my Great Yu shall be exterminated, no matter how far they are.”

“This official will exterminate all living beings in your Realm!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the five sky-ripping fissures, with Yang Dian's Qi and blood as their spearhead, spanning the sky, had already reached him, fiercely crashing into the protective shield the Martial Celestial Official had hastily conjured.

“Boom~”

A deafening roar erupted, and the protective shield instantly developed countless cracks.

Ripples of energy, centered on the protective shield, shook the Great Yu Immortal Capital continuously, as if the Immortal Capital Formation could shatter at any moment, knocking the Immortal Capital from the clouds.

Just then, several other immensely powerful auras, which Yang Dian sensed were not much weaker than his own, rose from within the Immortal Capital.

“How dare you trespass into my Great Yu Immortal Capital.”

“How bold! A mere person from another Realm dares to offend the Immortal Dynasty’s Immortal might.”

“Patrolling Immortal Guards, form up! Follow this Marquis to meet the invaders.”

“Heavenly Envoys, relay the order to all gods and deities, activate the Pantheon Reincarnation Formation…”

Amidst angry shouts, a Celestial Official swung a sword, using his own will as a guide, unleashing a sword strike that could cut through anything.

Another Celestial Official used his body as a weapon, turning entirely crimson gold, and swung an iron fist at Yang Dian.

An Immortal Marquis of the Immortal Dynasty led his troops to form a Formation, summoning a thousand-meter-tall Dharma idol, and pressed a palm print towards Yang Dian.

In the sky, stars also flickered, and the gods returned to their positions, setting up the Reincarnation Formation.

“Heh~” Yang Dian chuckled, watching the attacks converging on him from various parts of the Immortal Capital.

With a thought, the Qi and blood around his body burned fiercely like a raging fire, illuminating the dark clouds above the Immortal Capital in a fiery red.

His body moved, dodging the Sword Qi, Saber Intent, fierce winds, and iron fists, while at the same time, he clenched his hands, and the fiercely burning Qi and blood transformed into two long Qi and blood Dragons, pouncing towards the Celestial Officials, Immortal Marquises, and army Formation Dharma idols that were attacking him.

Wherever the giant Dragons passed, energy became chaotic, space twisted, and the usually powerful Celestial Officials and unstoppable Dharma idols had their attacks broken by a mere flick of a claw or a swing of a tail from the Qi and blood giant Dragons.

The Martial Celestial Official, taking advantage of everyone attacking Yang Dian, seized the opportunity to Breakthrough the Sky-Ripping Dragon Claw, retreating somewhat disheveled into the military Formation.

“Impossible!”

“Your aura is the same as ours, how can you, how can you…” The Martial Celestial Official gripped his gilded long spear tightly, his face filled with terror.

Just a little bit more.

If there hadn't been support from others, he would have been torn to shreds by a casual swipe of Yang Dian's claw wind!

“How can you be so powerful!”

Looking at the Martial Celestial Official’s terrified face.

Yang Dian looked around at the other Celestial Officials, Immortal Marquises, the Dharma idols formed by the army Formations, and the Pantheon Reincarnation Formation gradually taking shape in the sky, feeling a bit dazed.

It had been a long time since he had fought an evenly matched opponent to his heart's content.

Even when he stirred up a world-ending storm on Mars, he hadn't unleashed his full power.

Mars was Old Bai's base, after all.

Stirring up a storm for a few miles was enough; if he really shattered the Martian continental plates, what would Old Bai do?

This led him to slightly misjudge his own strength.

The Martial Celestial Official, or other Celestial Officials, indeed had similar auras to him.

Judging solely by their auras, they were indeed in the same Realm.

But Yang Dian forgot that he possessed special traits.

What were special traits?

They were equivalent to the talents Awakened by the Awakened, and also equivalent to Innate Divine Abilities in the cultivation world.

In other words.

Special traits, especially powerful ones, were the concretization of rules!

How could he, who had mastered so many special traits, be comparable to an ordinary Cultivator like the Martial Celestial Official?

‘It seems I am much, much stronger than I imagined…’

Lost in thought, Yang Dian took a deep breath, and his entire body's Qi and blood erupted, transforming into Dragon scales that clung to his Martial Dao True Body.

‘Now, let’s have a good fight.’

With a thought, Yang Dian had already turned into an afterimage, appearing before the Martial Celestial Official.

Looking at the Martial Celestial Official's shrinking pupils and the long spear that turned into an afterimage, aiming for his groin, Yang Dian smiled:

“Guess where I am?”

Before he finished speaking, the Martial Celestial Official's long spear had already split the afterimage of Yang Dian standing before him in two.

Yang Dian simultaneously appeared behind him, and under the disbelieving gazes of others, he plunged his Dragon claw into the Martial Celestial Official's back, emerging from his chest.

He crushed the heart in his palm, and sensing the Martial Celestial Official's undiminished life force, Yang Dian then split his hands apart, tearing the Martial Celestial Official into two with a ‘rip’.

But seeing the two halves of the body, thrown far away, fly back together and merge, Yang Dian felt he wasn't decisive enough.

‘I should have completely annihilated his body.’

‘If Yao Xian can casually produce a Cultivation Technique like the Nine Tribulations Nirvana Sutra, how could the Celestial Officials of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty not have even better Cultivation Techniques?’

‘But it’s not a big problem.’

‘Let’s do it again…’
