Starting with Check-In Sacred Body of the Ancients-Chapter 153: The Forty-Ninth Floor, the Eerie Ghost-Faced Girl, the Hand of the Heavens Displays Its Divine Might
Chapter 153 - 153: The Forty-Ninth Floor, the Eerie Ghost-Faced Girl, the Hand of the Heavens Displays Its Divine Might
The Heavenly Dao Tower had a total of fifty floors.
However, it was rumored that no one could set foot on the fiftieth floor.
Legend said it was the eternal resting place of the Reincarnation Saint Spirit.
Since ancient times, the forty-ninth floor had been the highest reachable level of the Heavenly Dao Tower.
And in the recent ancient era, Jun Xiaoyao was the only prodigy to have set foot on the forty-ninth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Let alone whether he could ultimately pass it, just being able to step onto it was already a miracle that would be recorded in the annals of history.
"The forty-ninth floor!"
The outside world went crazy. Countless cultivators were incomparably shocked, feeling they were witnessing a scene足以 to be recorded in history.
The academy's Great Elder also felt his heart and liver tremble.
Even though he was a Saint Lord expert, at this moment, he was plunged into deep shock.
Just then, from the depths of the Saintly Spirit Academy, a voice transmission suddenly reached the Great Elder's ear.
The one transmitting the voice was the Dean of the Saintly Spirit Academy.
After hearing the transmission, the Great Elder's old face showed astonishment, "What? Do we really have to do this?"
The Great Elder's emotions were complex; he hadn't expected the academy to make such a decision.
"It's still because the Jun Family Divine Child's talent and strength are too monstrous. Otherwise, the Dean and the others wouldn't have made this decision," the Great Elder sighed deeply.
For an ancient academy with countless years of heritage to bow its head to a youth merely in his teens was truly lamentable.
While everyone outside was in a frenzy, Jun Xiaoyao had already arrived in the space of the forty-ninth floor.
He was also very curious as to what kind of extraordinary figure the guardian of this forty-ninth floor would be.
At this moment, a rain of light scattered from the opposite side.
A hazy and graceful figure appeared.
It was a young girl, her skin and bones snow-white, shrouded in mist, making her indistinct.
She wore a ghost-face mask.
The gaze beneath the mask was profound and indifferent, glinting with an eerie light.
She also wore a bronze ring on her finger, which at times transformed into a bell, at times into a tripod, and at times into a sword.
"Hmm?" Jun Xiaoyao sensed an unusual energy signature.
He actually felt a slight sense of danger.
This was quite incredible for Jun Xiaoyao.
Throughout his journey, he had swept aside contemporary prodigies. Not a single one could harm him in the slightest, let alone make him feel a sense of danger.
But the young girl before him, wearing a ghost-face mask, actually made him feel a rare sense of danger.
This feeling was too novel for him, an unprecedented experience.
At this moment, the ghost-faced girl, however, spoke in an eerie voice.
"The Other Shore Flower blooms in seven-colored heavens; when the flower falls, one becomes an immortal for a thousand years..."
"Brother... where are you..."
After speaking, the profound gaze beneath the girl's mask suddenly turned towards Jun Xiaoyao.
"Brother... it's you..."
"What do you mean?" Jun Xiaoyao frowned, unable to understand the situation.
Since when did he have a younger sister?
"No... that's not right... you are not..."
The ghost-faced girl suddenly began to shake her head frantically. The gaze under her mask seemed to turn blood-red.
Patches of blood-red Other Shore Flowers spread out from beneath her feet, transforming into a domain where all life force was extinguished.
"Not good..."
Jun Xiaoyao's expression shifted, and he also made a move. He directly unleashed his Sacred Body Phenomenon, Myriad Saints Pay Homage.
Illusory figures of ten thousand saints emerged from the void, paying homage to him.
A terrifying imposing pressure spread out, colliding with the girl's Other Shore Flower domain.
One was a Sacred Body Phenomenon, the other was the ghost-faced girl's eerie domain. The entire space shattered and cracked in an instant.
The surroundings plunged into absolute darkness, with only Jun Xiaoyao and the ghost-faced girl standing opposite each other.
She attacked Jun Xiaoyao. The bronze ring in her hand transformed into a long bronze sword and swept towards him.
With one slash, the sword light surged like a river of stars descending, its power terrifying to the extreme.
It could be said that the vast majority of contemporary prodigies would find it difficult to withstand a casual sword strike from this ghost-faced girl.
Jun Xiaoyao also did not hold back. He knew this ghost-faced girl was very strange and could not be judged by common sense.
He unleashed the Art of Subduing Weapons. Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, tridents – an endless torrent of divine weapons formed and collided with the ghost-faced girl's sword edge.
With one slash, she cut through the torrent of divine weapons.
The sword's momentum did not diminish, heading straight for Jun Xiaoyao's head.
"Interesting. It's been a long time since I encountered a decent opponent."
Jun Xiaoyao felt no apprehension, only a trace of long-absent excitement.
It was too rare to encounter an opponent who could make him feel a sense of danger.
Jun Xiaoyao took out the Thanos Saint King Gauntlet. The purplish-gold gauntlet shimmered with divine splendor, and a Saint Realm aura emanated from it.
This gauntlet was forged from a Saint King's hand bone, fused with a small amount of Divine Marked Purple Gold; its power naturally needed no further explanation.
Jun Xiaoyao put the gauntlet on his right hand and directly met the ghost-faced girl's bronze long sword.
With a clang, fierce sparks collided, and a metallic tremor vibrated in all directions.
The ghost-faced girl was directly forced back, the bronze long sword in her hand almost flying out of her grasp.
"Not bad." Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
His Desolate Ancient Sacred Body,叠加 with the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, plus the Thanos Saint King Gauntlet – a single punch from this could smash a hole in the heavens.
If he further empowered it with the Daluo Immortal Bones, the power would be simply incredible.
For this ghost-faced girl to take a punch from him and only be forced back was enough to prove her astonishing strength.
However, before Jun Xiaoyao, this was still not enough!
"It would be good if I could find a suitable fist technique," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly.
If he could find a supreme fist technique to complement the Thanos Saint King Gauntlet and his own physical strength...
That thrill would be unbelievable.
The ghost-faced girl attacked again. Her other jade-like hand swept out, conjuring countless Other Shore Flowers, giving off an ominous feeling.
"These methods..." Jun Xiaoyao's eyes focused.
He had vaguely heard before that there was an Immortal Emperor Clan in the Exotic Domain called the Other Shore Clan.
It was rumored that their true forms were eerie Other Shore Flowers.
However, to conclude that this ghost-faced girl was related to the Exotic Domain based on this point alone would be somewhat arbitrary.
"Forget it, I should focus on the present," Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
His main goal now was to pass this trial.
Even if this ghost-faced girl had called him "brother" before, Jun Xiaoyao would still eliminate her.
He was an emotionless trial-clearing machine.
From Jun Xiaoyao's chest, a scorching radiance erupted.
It was precisely the Supreme Bone's divine ability, the Light of Divine Retribution.
The terrifying light of tribulation illuminated the surrounding darkness.
This light seemed to be a calamity sent down by the heavens above.
The ghost-faced girl also once again activated her ultimate move. A pitch-black vortex appeared, as if it could devour everything.
The Light of Divine Retribution was actually absorbed into it.
Seeing this, the Supreme Bone in Jun Xiaoyao's chest once again erupted with overwhelming divine energy.
The scorching light of tribulation gathered, transforming into a heaven-covering giant hand imprinted with endless runes!
That giant hand of tribulation light seemed to be a judgment sent down by the heavens above, to strangle all living beings!
It was precisely the complete form of the Supreme Bone's first great divine ability, the Hand of the Heavens!
Rumble!
The Hand of the Heavens pressed down, its fluctuations overwhelming. The already shattered space was further annihilated into endless spatial dust!
Even the eerie ghost-faced girl was on the verge of collapse under the powerful pressure of the Hand of the Heavens.
At the instant her figure was about to disappear.
Jun Xiaoyao seemed to see, beneath the mask, a glimmer of tears.
"Will we meet again, brother..."
