True Person Changfeng vs. Zhuge Xiang (Part Two)

Imperial Edict Heavenly Book!

The Divine Phantom, thousands of feet tall, stood in the Void. Even though it was just Phantom Image, the divine aura it exuded was real. Looking up at the enormous Phantom Image, Zhuge Xiang realized that his own physical body was not even as big as the Divine Phantom's toenail. Gazing at the colossal Divine Phantom, Zhuge Xiang felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance.

"The Big Dipper Seven Stars! The position of Tianxuan Star! Starlight shines upon the world!" True Person Changfeng shouted in a fierce voice. As he spoke, in the sky, the Tianxuan Star in the Big Dipper Seven Stars suddenly shone with a brilliance comparable to the sun and moon. The dazzling light was like a golden bridge, connecting from the sky to the body of the Divine Phantom, making the Phantom Image's body even more solid.

The Imperial Edict Heavenly Book is one of the Three Great Divine Techniques of the Great Qin Empire. There are strict requirements for its cultivation. One must be Heavenly Human Reincarnation. The so-called Heavenly Human Reincarnation means that a celestial being from the Nine Heavens is reborn into the Mortal Realm in order to cultivate it.

Now, seeing the magnificent light emanating from the Tianxuan Star in the Big Dipper Seven Stars, Zhuge Xiang finally understood that this True Person Changfeng was actually the Tianxuan Star in the Big Dipper Seven Stars.

"River of Stars Power! Kill!" True Person Changfeng tossed the Kunlun Mirror in his hand. This Kunlun Mirror seemed to possess a spirit, directly embedding itself in the forehead of the huge Divine Phantom. The Kunlun Mirror, shining brightly in the center of the forehead, seemed to have opened a heavenly eye.

Boom!

The Divine Phantom raised its palm high and slammed it down on Zhuge Xiang. The majestic aura caused the Kunlun Mirror to lock onto Zhuge Xiang's position. The power of this strike was enough to shatter Myriad Phenomena.

"Such powerful strength. Is this the true power of the Imperial Edict Heavenly Book?" Zhuge Xiang murmured to himself, sensing the terrifying power contained within the Divine Phantom. As expected of one of the Three Great Divine Techniques of the Great Qin Empire, the power of the Imperial Edict Heavenly Book is no weaker than the Great Qin Emperor's Imperial World Shocking Merit.

On that day in the Great Qin Imperial Palace, the Divine Phantom of True Person Changfeng was shattered by the Golden Body Bodhisattva. The speed was very fast, and at that time, Zhuge Xiang felt that the Imperial Edict Heavenly Book was nothing special. But now Zhuge Xiang finally understood that the Golden Body Bodhisattva's actions were too fast, so much so that True Person Changfeng did not have time to unleash the full power of the Imperial Edict Heavenly Book before he was defeated.

Zhuge Xiang couldn't block the descending hand. Even with his powerful physique and the defense of the Bull Demon God Armor, he knew he would be injured under the attack of this Immortal-God Power. Moreover, at this moment, all Cultivator within the Great Qin Empire had lost their connection to the Heavenly Dao, rendering Zhuge Xiang unable to use any law-based Skill, such as the Decoy Straw Man.

Demon Body!

As the palm descended like a curtain from the sky, Zhuge Xiang's physical body underwent a dramatic transformation. His ordinary human form transformed into Hundred Zhang -tall Demon Body, with Nine-Orifice Demon Heart pounding violently in his chest, emitting incomparably pure Demonic Qi. The Immortal Slaying Sword emitted a soft, trembling hum, clearly excited by its powerful opponent.

"Divine Phantom? Then today, I shall complete the act of slaying a god..." Holding the Immortal Slaying Sword, Zhuge Xiang stared at the palm falling from the sky. His eyes narrowed, and his figure transformed into an incomparably dazzling Sword Light. Instead of retreating, he advanced and met the phantom of the Divine Phantom with a speed that exceeded the range of what the naked eye could see.

A huge sword mark appeared on the arm of the Divine Phantom, left by Zhuge Xiang's sword. Zhuge Xiang, relying on his super-fast movement, dodged the Divine Phantom's attack.

Instant Slash (Perfection Level): Requires Golden Core Stage. With unparalleled speed, it can launch a fatal, dreamlike attack on any target within a radius of 1,000 meters. Requires a sharp weapon such as a sword or blade. Attack +150%, 30-second cooldown, consumes 800 MP.

With Skill that directly increases attack power by 150%, plus the attack bonuses from the Immortal Slaying Sword and the Bull Demon God Armor, the Divine Phantom, whose HP was as high as one million, visibly lost a small amount of HP.

"As expected of Divine Phantom, such high HP." A million HP is enough to induce despair. With an additional 150% attack bonus, the damage from this sword strike wasn't low, but the problem lies in the fact that this Divine Phantom has around a million HP.

"A very good attack, but to immortals and gods, this strike is nothing..." Even Zhuge Xiang True Person Changfeng couldn't hide his shock at Zhuge Xiang's Instant Slash Sword Technique. That sword strike, faster than the naked eye could see, was truly astonishing. Even True Person Changfeng wasn't confident he could block it. But to the Divine Phantom summoned by the Imperial Edict Heavenly Book, this strike was nothing.

"It's not over yet!" Although his attack was weak, Zhuge Xiang did not give up. Zhuge Xiang launched the Instant Slash not to dodge the attack of the Divine Phantom, nor to harm the Divine Phantom. His real purpose was to stand in a suitable position to make a move. Now, Zhuge Xiang succeeded.

"Take this again! Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword!" Zhuge Xiang shouted in his heart, raising his hands high and then slamming them down hard.

Boom!

The Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword, as it was said from the mouth of the Blood Rakshasa, was Sword Technique from the Ancient Times Immortal-Demon Realm. Although it was only an incomplete version, the power it unleashed was still terrifying and despair-inducing. In the Void, a Giant Sword Hundred Zhang long appeared and slashed fiercely down at the Divine Phantom.

Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword (Perfection Level): Incomplete version. Can summon a Giant Sword Hundred Zhang long from the Void. All other swords will be suppressed under the Holy Sword. Single-target attack, dealing true damage equal to 50% of the target's HP, minimum 100,000 points. Consumes 6,000 MP. Cooldown: 500 seconds.

The Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword can deal 50% true damage to the opponent. Originally, this sword strike would have caused the Divine Phantom's HP to drop by about 500,000. However, unfortunately, due to the Heavenly Dao's shield, law-based Skill are ineffective. Therefore, the effectiveness of this Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword strike depends solely on its inherent power and cannot be directly halved by the power of the rules.

However, since it is Sword Technique inherited from the Immortal-Demon Realm, once the Skill of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword is unleashed, all the Sword Cultivator on the Battlefield feel their swords being suppressed. No matter what kind of spiritual sword it is, at this moment, it seems to turn into ordinary iron. Once the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword is unleashed, all swords submit.

Boom!

The Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword, which appeared from the Void, slammed down on the Divine Phantom, unleashing a terrifying explosion. The explosion even caused the Divine Phantom to fluctuate, as if it might collapse at any moment. Visibly, the Divine Phantom's HP, which were as high as one million, suddenly dropped by a significant amount.

Even without the blessing of the power of the rules, the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword, being Sword Technique inherited from the Immortal-Demon Realm, still possesses formidable attack power. The Divine Phantom, with a million HP, lost approximately 200,000 HP.

"It is indeed a very strong attack. This should be your strongest Sword Moves. Unfortunately, if you think you can destroy my Imperial Edict Heavenly Book with this move, you are still too naive." Although the power of the Sky-Supporting Sacred Sword Human Heart, True Person Changfeng had more confidence in the ability of his Imperial Edict Heavenly Book.

"Now, it's my turn to attack! Seven Luminaries All Kill, Starlight Flash!" The Divine Phantom, with the Half-Immortal Artifact Kunlun Mirror embedded in its forehead, radiated a rich light. At the same time, Tianxuan Star in the Big Dipper Seven Stars seemed to be inexplicably drawn in, and surging Star Power poured down from the Starry Sky, transforming into rolling killing intent.

"Starlight Flash! Kill!" True Person Changfeng pointed at Zhuge Xiang and shouted. Immediately, the light of the Kunlun Mirror, mixed with the light of rolling Star Power, transformed into a dazzling beam of light that shot towards Zhuge Xiang. The Penetrating Power contained within it might not be able to penetrate the defense of the Bull Demon God Armor, but it was enough to injure Zhuge Xiang.

Seeing the beam of light shooting towards him, Zhuge Xiang's eyes narrowed slightly. The best way to deal with an enemy's attack is to use the "Transfer Flowers, Graft Wood" Skill to directly reverse and return it. However, unfortunately, the "Transfer Flowers, Graft Wood Trees" skill he learned in the Hidden Technique Forest is only effective if the opponent's cultivation level is two minor realms higher than his own. Therefore, to counter Elder Changfeng's attack, Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level must at least reach the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Since the Transfer Flowers, Graft Wood tactic couldn't be used, a different approach was adopted. In a flash, Zhuge Xiang's left eye turned a strange Purple-Gold. Immediately, a beam of light composed of Star Power met it, and the Purple Gold Demonic Eye was copied, its Starlight Flash!

"Impossible!" Anyone would be shocked to see the same trick they were using used by the opponent. True Person Changfeng was dumbfounded and exclaimed in disbelief as he watched Zhuge Xiang unleash a Starlight Flash attack.

Whether True Person Changfeng believed it or not, Zhuge Xiang's Starlight Flash was there. The two equally radiant Starlight Flash collided violently, unleashing a terrifying explosion, and then vanished into nothingness.

"Zhuge Xiang, how are you able to activate Starlight Flash? You're not one of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper Seven Stars." For True Person Changfeng, killing Zhuge Xiang was important, but figuring out why Zhuge Xiang could use Starlight Flash was even more important.

"Hehe, you want to extract my information? I won't tell you. Take this! Great Five Elements Sword Formation!" Seeing True Person Changfeng lose his composure, Zhuge Xiang sneered and then activated the Great Five Elements Sword Formation Skill.

Anyone facing an attack copied by Zhuge Xiang's Purple Gold Demonic Eye would experience some mental fluctuation for a time. Zhuge Xiang had already mastered the Purple Gold Demonic Eye's abilities to Perfection Level, so he naturally knew how to seize this fleeting opportunity. Therefore, taking advantage of True Person Changfeng's mental lapse, he activated the Great Five Elements Sword Formation Skill.

The Immortal Slaying Sword split into five, forming a sword formation that enveloped True Person Changfeng. The Divine Phantom was powerful, but what about True Person Changfeng himself? Could he withstand the attack of his own Great Five Elements Sword Formation? (To be continued...)
