Chapter 219: Heaven's Eye - 219
If the mysterious man was able to tell that Tian Ren couldn't do the same thing again, then Tian Ren naturally knew the same.
Tian Ren was trying to get a feel for his opponent before fully going all out with the intention to kill.
With less than a second passing, Tian Ren and the mysterious man moved again. They appeared in front of each other and the mysterious man sliced horizontally with his hand as if he was holding an invisible fan. At the same time, Tian Ren sliced straight down with his sword.
The mysterious man's Darkness Qi and Tian Ren's lightning Qi clashed, pushing both of them back.
Once again, they moved speedily, clashed, got knocked back, and repeated.
Slash, slice, upward thrust, downward slice, over and over again as they moved around the mountain. The mountain was hard and resilient, but the constant clashes of the two men had made it seem more similar to the moon with its many craters than a flat area.
After many clashes, both men were ready to fight to the death. They had understood their opponent as much as possible.
Both backed up farther away than before and moved their hands. Tian Ren was up in the sky and raised his hand high, using an immense amount of lightning Qi. In just a moment, Tian Ren had formed a lightning dragon that shot down towards the mysterious man on the ground.
At the same time, the mysterious man raised his hand from a lower position and a dragon of darkness Qi shot out of the ground.
The two dragons clashed with each other, sending a horizontal burst of energy that shot into the distance. In the moment that the dragons were forcing each other back, Tian Ren and the mysterious man didn't wait.
Tian Ren collapsed his lightning sword into pure lightning Qi that covered his fist as he flew down towards the mysterious man. The mysterious man covered his fist in darkness Qi and struck out at Tian Ren's descending fist.
In the instant their fist clashed, ten thousand lightning strikes flew from behind Tian Ren, each of them aimed at the mysterious man's body.
Meeting those lightning strikes was ten thousand birds of darkness Qi flying at Tian Ren's body. Both the fists and the secondary attacks met at the same time.
A giant curtain of dust from the extremely sorry mountain blocked the outcome of the collision. In just a moment, the dust cleared as the two dragons dissipated at the same time and caused a wind to move the dust away.
Flying opposite to each other, Tian Ren had an injury on his arm that trailed from his pinky fingers knuckle to his inner elbow. It wasn't quite bone deep, but the injury seemed severe.
The mysterious man stood on the other side, completely unharmed. If he had a face, Tian Ren supposed it would be one full of mockery.
"The victor is clear. Just this once, I'll allow you to live if you leave." The mysterious man stated.
A staring match ensued.
"Did you think that that was everything?" Tian Ren suddenly said, a hint of arrogance reaching his face, slightly shocking the mysterious man.
"I am the creation of heaven! From the moment I was born, his words echoed in my ear! My power is his! My life is his! Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the son of heaven!" Tian Ren shouted.
In an instant, he appeared high in the sky, his arms spread out.
"HEAVEN!" He shouted once again.
In a second, the lightning bolt imprint on his forehead snapped open, revealing an eye. The moment it opened, a giant eye formed in the sky, giving a horrid pressure to the mysterious man. He was nearly forced to his knees in an instant.
While it seemed like heaven had made an appearance, he hadn't. The giant eye was formed from a special power that heaven had given Tian Ren the moment the lightning bolt struck him.
It seemed unfair, but the power was not without drawbacks. Firstly, the Qi consumption of Tian Ren would shoot through the roof. If he fought with his full power, his Qi would last thirty minutes maximum.
Secondly, even if he won the battle unscathed, he would be severely injured for a period of time. Among the injuries he would receive was temporary blindness. The blindness would not only blind his eyes, but even his divine sense would no longer work until the injuries healed.
As the mysterious man struggled not to kneel on the ground, Tian Ren formed another lightning sword in his hand. It was clearly much more powerful than before. Increasing Tian Ren's strength was another power of the heaven eye.
Deciding not to waste any time in order to limit his injuries, Tian Ren shot forward at his top speed and sliced down upon the mysterious man's head.
Suddenly, the mysterious man, who was almost kneeling, moved slightly to the side, causing the sword to miss his head and lodge itself deep into his shoulder, reaching even his upper stomach. Tian Ren tried to move the sword out in an instant, but it seemed stuck in something.
"Damn you! Heaven!" The mysterious man shouted as he punched up at the side of Tian Ren's head with his arm that still functioned.
Tian Ren was caught off guard by the sudden attack and was directly hit in the temple. With his increased strength, it should have simply made him stumble backwards, but he went flying to the side, leaving his lightning sword to dissipate in the man's injured body.
With a single look, one could tell why the mysterious man's attack was so powerful. Raging off of his fist like a flame was a reddish, flame-like power with thousands of stretched out faces.
Only two black eyes and a black, screaming mouth could be seen on each of the thousands of faces as they flowed by.
This was one of the mysterious man's trump cards, the hundred thousand soul flame. In order to create the power, he had to kill a hundred thousand beings and entrap their suffering souls.
Tian Ren recovered from the ground and looked at the power. His face turned into a frown. The screeching screams and the power that the power gave off was horrifying.
Even with the heaven eye above him, the mysterious man was able to stand up and move.
As Tian Ren was about to move forward to attack, something fell out of the mysterious man's cloth body.
Chapter 220: Bi Chong - 220
At the same time, both Tian Ren and the mysterious man turned their heads to look at whatever fell out.
It took Tian Ren a second to comprehend the situation, but he was quickly able to tell what it was.
It was a worm. A pink worm that was now rolling around on the ground, seemingly in pain from leaving the mysterious man's body. A moment after it fell out, a couple more worms began to fall out. Then, they started falling out even faster.
Tian Ren was so stunned and confused that he didn't even attack. He watched as the mysterious man covered the wound to prevent any more worms from falling out and a large amount of Qi was infused into the area.
By the time the mysterious man removed his hand, no more worms were falling out. For some reason, however, the cloth on the mysterious man's body was not healed.
"Since it has come to this point, I might as well just show everything. It's been a while since I've breathed fresh air anyway." The mysterious man said, talking to himself as he reached for his head and scrunched up the cloth on his scalp by grabbing it before fully pulling the cloth off, revealing his true body.
Tian Ren's eyes widened even further as he saw the man, no, the worm's true body. A bunch of worms were crawling around together while maintaining the shape of a human body.
Tian Ren couldn't see through the pile of worms, but he quickly assumed that the man's personal body must be under the worms somewhere.
"My name is Bi Chong. I am the first and last patriarch of the worm race." He stated.
If anyone from the beast world were to be present, they would be extremely shocked at the revealing of Bi Chong's true identity.
The worm race, while not particularly powerful, used to be one of the top one hundred races in the entire beast world.
However, it had suddenly disappeared many years ago. Nobody knew how it happend, or even when it happened as it went unnoticed for a long time.
When the main area of the worm race was investigated, no traces of anything were found whatsoever.
Now, the patriarch of the worm race had been revealed to be the strongest existence of the beast world.
"From the moment I was born, I was able to feel a connection with the members of my worm race. It wasn't the type of connection one feels with fellow members of a species, but the type of connection one feels when they are one with another." Bi Chong started saying.
Tian Ren didn't know why he was yapping, but he silently listened on, healing from his earlier injuries.
"It wasn't until I reached the void traversing realm and became the first patriarch of the worm race that I understood what the feeling was. I literally was connected with all of the worm race. By exerting my superior power, I was able to erase their minds and connect them with me. A bit of memories still lingered in order to protect their souls, but the entire worm race became a part of me." He said before finally taking his gaze off of the distance and looking at Tian Ren.
"Sorry for all the monologing. I've never told anyone my story before, and since you will be dead in a few minutes, I supposed that you wouldn't mind me rehearsing." Bi Chong said.
"I did mind. Your voice isn't exactly pleasant without your filthy little costume on." Tian Ren responded.
He felt nothing but disgust for the worm in front of him.
Without another word, Tian Ren and Bi Chong moved.
Tian Ren once again reached his hand in the air and used a bolt of lightning to form a lightning sword as he moved towards Bi Chong.
At the same time, Bi Chong moved his right hand to his left side as if he was going to pull a sword out of his sheath. As he did so, some of the worms on his body moved and formed a sword in his hands.
He then began to swing it forward. As he did so, he covered the sword in darkness Qi, solidifying and sharpening it, before finally covering it with the hundred thousand soul flame.
Only then did Tian Ren and Bi Chong's swords connect. A much more powerful force than before exploded out, creating a crater in the ground much bigger than before.
Tian Ren pushed the heaven eye to its limit, increasing the pressure it gave off as well as increasing his own strength, and Bi Chong with his new and revealed form was able to fully show off the power of his divine physique, its exact effect unknown to anyone but Zhou Fan.
Despite Tian Ren's power being gifted by heaven itself, both people only tied in the first clash. In a second, a hundred more clashes followed. They flew around the mountain wildly, teleporting everywhere despite the Qi it took.
In the next second they clashed a thousand times. Then ten thousand, before finally averaging a hundred thousand clashes in a second. In only five seconds, the mountain was severely damaged and on the brink of falling apart.
Finally gathering the maximum momentum, both Tian Ren and Bi Chong were ready for the final move.
Tian Ren teleported directly below the eye again with his sword raised straight up. The eye of heaven sent an immense amount of Qi into the sword, still remaining in the air and providing pressure, but not having much of its previous power.
It would only stay for another second, but that was more than enough. Next, a hundred thousand lightning strikes struck Tian Ren's sword, completely sucking every bit of Qi out of the clouds formed from his power. Everything happened in less than half of a second.
Tian Ren's sword was now releasing a power it never had before.
On the ground, Bi Chong was also preparing his move. All the darkness within ten million miles gathered on his sword of worms. The power of the hundred thousand soul flame was giving off also increased higher. In a fourth of a second, it turned an even darker red.
Bi Chongs final trump card had arrived. The million soul flame.
