98: Chapter 98 Multiple Talents and Supernatural Abilities

When Fahai first established Jinshan Temple, he had crossed paths with all sorts of demons and witnessed many different types of powers.

The reason he silently cursed 'not good' in his heart was precisely because of the Universe Shift that the Thousand-Faced Demon had just displayed.

"Universe Shift..."

Li Xiuyuan also glanced at the cliff face not far away. The palm print was deeply embedded in the rock, with the five fingers clearly defined—a shocking sight.

According to the combat experience absorbed from Moyuan, Universe Shift was an incredibly unreasonable Innate Supernatural Power.

A Rising Beings that awakens this type of power can transfer any damage it receives elsewhere.

As long as you cannot kill it completely in one blow, any damage it sustains can be shifted to other locations—mountains, the earth, or even the caster themselves.

Unless one can guarantee a fatal blow in a single strike.

But to achieve a fatal blow in one strike, one's strength must exceed the opponent's by several levels, capable of reducing the enemy to ashes in the snap of a finger. Otherwise, no matter what, it would always be able to hold onto a breath of life, making it impossible to kill.

After evading Fahai's palm print, the hideous Thousand-Faced Demon spat out countless blobs of pitch-black flesh.

Those blobs of flesh landed on the ground, immediately taking root and sprouting, then growing at an incredible speed into demons identical to the original body.

"Sowing Beans to Create Soldiers."

Fahai's expression darkened a few degrees.

This was already the third Innate Supernatural Power, and it was equally troublesome.

"Ten Innate Supernatural Powers, and the three that have appeared so far are not ones that an ordinary Rising Beings could awaken," Li Xiuyuan said.

"Indeed." Fahai nodded, his expression grave.

If one were to rank the Innate Supernatural Powers of Rising Beingss, the first tier would be the causal type.

These powers are almost unsolvable, but very few are capable of awakening them; perhaps not even one appears in a thousand-year era.

Ranked in the second tier are the rule-type Innate Supernatural Powers. This tier is also extremely powerful, and the Universe Shift just now belonged to this category. However, the rule effect of Universe Shift can be countered by 'overpowering all techniques with raw strength.'

As for the third tier, Sowing Beans to Create Soldiers and Myriad Transformations can be included.

Although they don't compare to Universe Shift, they are still quite troublesome killing moves that ordinary Rising Beingss find extremely difficult to awaken.

There are fourth and fifth tiers after that, but anyone who can be classified into these is no ordinary being.

"Benefactor, this monk is now feeling some regret."

Fahai said.

He had not expected the Thousand-Faced Demon's ten Innate Supernatural Powers to be so heaven-defying. If they could not kill the Thousand-Faced Demon on the spot in one blow, he and Li Xiuyuan would be exhausted to death here.

"Then should we run now?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Fahai smiled bitterly: "We cannot run."

Not only could they not run, but if both he and Li Xiuyuan died at the hands of the Thousand-Faced Demon, it would crawl out through the entrance above, return to the world of the Jinshan Temple in the painting, and then break the seal.

By then, the Thousand-Faced Demon would surely wreak havoc on the human world, causing misery for all living things.

He had personally released an evil entity capable of destroying the human world; what a sin!

"The die is cast; we can only find a way to destroy it, otherwise you and I will both die."

Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, and before the words had even faded, he decided to strike first. His bulging muscles were stimulated by electric arcs, his speed and power instantly climbing to the limit as he transformed into a bolt of white lightning, charging toward the Thousand-Faced Demon's main body in an instant.

The Thousand-Faced Demon's clones swarmed up like a tide. Li Xiuyuan swept his dragon tail, and the electric arcs exploded, smashing the nearest clones into minced meat. However, those scraps of flesh landed on the ground and immediately regenerated into new clones, wave after wave, impossible to kill off completely.

The demon's main body opened its mouth at this moment, spewing forth a monstrous torrent of flames.

A crimson sea of fire spread out from beneath its feet, instantly swallowing the entire land.

Flames shot up into the sky, rolling with heat waves; the air was filled with the smell of burning, and even breathing became searingly painful.

"Sea of Fire Burning the Heavens."

Seeing the scene of rolling, fierce flames, Li Xiuyuan whispered.

The Sea of Fire Burning the Heavens was also an Innate Supernatural Power, specifically a killing type. Although it did not reach the tier of Universe Shift, it could still be ranked in the same category as Sowing Beans to Create Soldiers and Myriad Transformations.

Li Xiuyuan could not land and could only maneuver in the air.

But the Thousand-Faced Demon's main body was also in the air; its tentacles and snake heads attacked from all directions, forcing Li Xiuyuan to dodge constantly.

Fahai charged up wielding his staff, golden Buddhist light slamming into one of the snake heads, but the snake head sustained no damage and instead bit down on the Zen staff.

Just as he was deadlocked with that snake head, two other snake heads bit in from the sides.

Fahai was just about to retreat, but immediately after, the eyes of that snake head emitted a ghostly blue light. The light was silent and soundless, yet incredibly fast, instantly enveloping Fahai.

At the same time, Fahai's body suddenly froze, maintaining the posture of raising his staff, unable to move.

"Immobilization Technique?!"

Fahai was shocked. His eyeballs could still move, but the rest of his body was completely beyond his control.

Immobilization Technique, the fifth Innate Supernatural Power!

Just how many more Innate Supernatural Powers did this demon have?!

Li Xiuyuan sensed Fahai's situation, flicked his dragon tail, and rushed toward the Thousand-Faced Demon, attempting to draw its attention.

The Thousand-Faced Demon's several snake heads turned toward Li Xiuyuan simultaneously, attempting to suppress him with the Immobilization Technique as well. The ghostly blue radiance enveloped Li Xiuyuan's body.

Electric arcs exploded beneath his scales, a powerful force surging within his body, instantly shaking off the binding force. His movements were only delayed for a split second before returning to normal.

Li Xiuyuan could break through the Immobilization Technique, but Fahai could not. He was only a projection of Spiritual Sense and could not resist a power of this level at all.

"We cannot fight like this. This damn thing has endless powers; the longer we drag it out, the lower our chances of winning. We must kill it in one blow."

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan immediately made an extremely risky decision.

Mirage Qi surged in all directions, instantly filling the entire area.

The Thousand-Faced Demon's clones lost their direction in the mist, colliding with each other and biting randomly.

Li Xiuyuan did not stop; he simultaneously unleashed his Hibernation ability. An invisible domain expanded outward with him at the center.

The Thousand-Faced Demon clones created by Sowing Beans to Create Soldiers were already chaotic and had lost their way in the Mirage Qi, and after the domain expanded, they collapsed completely, unable to get back up.

Besides these clones, the Thousand-Faced Demon's main body was also affected by the domain.

Although it was only a very brief moment, this split-second distraction was enough.

In the Mirage Qi, he used his Spiritual Sense to craft a clone. That clone was identical to him: silver-white scales, golden vertical pupils, even the frequency of the electric arcs jumping was exactly the same.

The clone rushed out of the mist, heading straight for the Thousand-Faced Demon's main body.
