Chapter 771 - [Daoless Heavens] (1/2)

Right after they saw an opening, they delivered killing blows toward at each other. The one that was able to grab hold of this change would be the winner!

The [Tai Chi Art] lit up, imbuing Zhong Yue with a sudden surge of strength. He flung his saber forward before his eight arms emerged and drew totem patterns on the saber hilt with his forty fingers, creating an innate totem pattern into the saber with each flick of the finger.

He did all of this in a blink of an eye. His saber flew at lightning speed after being flicked forty times straight; with each flick, Zhong Yue imbued additional changes into his saber that allowed it to turn into a bell, zither, tower, a pillar and much more. With the forty additional changes, Zhong Yue's saber forcefully destroyed young Lei Zhe's technique and in the final change, Zhong Yue's saber was swung onto young Lei Zhe with the utmost simplicity.

At the same time, the young Lei Zhe who also saw an opening in Zhong Yue attacked at a much slower pace than Zhong Yue. But its attack, however, was extremely heavy as he condensed everything into his palms.

As he swung his palms, the young Lei Zhe's thunderous technique shook the heaven and trembled the earth and Zhong Yue immediately felt that along with his body and Yuan Shen, the dimension around him was sliced and diced into endless pieces!

Then, the duo's attack struck and crushed each other's attack respectively before landing on their target.

When Zhong Yue's innate saber swung, it landed onto young Lei Zhe's head, and after a saber zing, the innate dragon horn on young Lei Zhe's head was severed.

His saber continued downwards towards the innate dragon scale. After a sharp sound, a few scales were cut off, but the power within the saber was completely blocked by young Lei Zhe"s immensely strong body.

Meanwhile, when young Lei Zhe's attack landed onto Zhong Yue, blood gushed out from Zhong Yue's body right away and his Yuan Shen was cut into a few thousand pieces!

Though it seemed like his body and Yuan Shen was severed into tiny pieces, they were actually still intact, and with Zhong Yue's immortal body, they would be recovered in no time. In truth however, after being sliced apart with the dimension, they were scattered into different tiny pieces dimensions and each piece was far apart from each other, making it impossible to recover.

Xin Huo's heart skipped a beat and he murmured, "Zhong Yue's lost…."

Though Zhong Yue severed young Lei Zhe's innate dragon horn and cut the innate dragon scales apart, he failed to kill his foe but the young Lei Zhe had completely sliced Zhong Yue's body and Yuan Shen apart, even hiding them in different dimensions.

With one party merely injuring his opponent and the other now had his foes complete mercy, the result was clear.

Suddenly, the young Lei Zhe dispersed his skill that sliced the dimension apart, Zhong Yue felt the pressure applied on him vanish and his body and Yuan Shen immediately reattached themselves to each other.

Zhong Yue turned despondent right away but he, however, accepted and admitted his defeat with honor, he said, "I've lost."

"No, you passed." said young Lei Zhe calmly.

Zhong Yue and Xin Huo stunned and they both shouted at once, "Passed?"

Young Lei Zhe looked at the innate dragon horn lying quietly on the ground which suddenly turned into a thunderbolt, and flew back to his hand along with the scales.

"Like I said, you've passed. The test was to test your techniques and your talent. Throughout the fight, I will leave an opening on purpose and if you saw it and attacked it, you pass."

Young Lei Zhe said, "Si Ming too, broke my horn and passed, which means you have also passed this test."

"An opening on purpose?" Zhong Yue shouted after he recollected his thoughts, "You left that opening on purpose?"

Young Lei Zhe nodded and answered with surprise, "You can't possibly think that I would run out of moves just like that?"

Zhong Yue's mind went blank right away.

But it was just like as young Lei Zhe said. As an innate god bred by the heaven and earth, young Lei Zhe had every heaven-gifted advantage. He was immortal and time held no meaning to him. After existing in this universe for an extremely long time, he witnessed the rise and the fall of many paragons and had lived through the reigns of numerous Heavenly Monarchs.

How would it be possible that someone like him failed to see through Zhong Yue's moves?

Young Lei Zhe said, "Whatever I displayed just now were merely how much I knew when I was at your level. I will rate you depending on how much you learned in this battle and if you are able to stand your ground against me. Such is the rule of the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm ever since the ancient times. Your experience was the same as all those who have passed before you."

Suddenly, Zhong Yue interrupted and asked, "Did they defeat you?"

Young Lei Zhe placed his hands behind his back and replied proudly, "No, no one will ever defeat me in this stage regardless of how talented they are, when they are at the Imminent Deity level, they are limited by their knowledge and experiences. This thus prevents them from drawing out their maximum potential. I am undefeatable and no one will even be able to stand his ground against me when I use my full strength unless the person has the knowledge and experiences of a Heavenly Monarch."

Zhong Yue couldn't help but admire young Lei Zhe and he asked again, "What is the test that lies within 81st level?"

"You've passed this test, as for the next test, you will know when you get there," replied young Lei Zhe smilingly.

Zhong Yue nodded before proceeding to treat his wounds and restore his condition before he departed for the 81st level.

On the 81st Lei Zhe, a tree seen towering in the midst of billowing Chaotic Qi. The Chaotic Qi was incredibly heavy and terrifying, being able to stagnate the flow of air around them. Meanwhile, the Innate Divine Tree rooted itself on the soil formed by condensed Chaotic Qi with the Innate Dao Fruits hanging in between the leaves.
