Chapter 421: Yao Mun vs Pangu - 421
Pangu moved towards Lu Wei in order to assist him, but a red slash blocked his path. He stopped moving forward and stepped to the side, avoiding the slash.
"I remember you. You are the one who won the true god ascension arena battle. You killed a lot of good people." Pangu said.
"So be it. If they weren't prepared to die, they shouldn't have joined." Yao Mun responded.
Pangu's face turned dark. "Unfortunately, one of those people was my disciple." Fiend Qi bursted out of Pangu's body as rage filled him.
"My name is Pangu. You killed my disciple. Prepare to die."
Pangu pulled out his axe as his body grew countless times bigger. As a true god, how big could a fiendcelstial grow? The answer was around 100 galaxies in height.
Although each person or group fighting was extremely far away from others, Pangu's expanding body still made all of the battlefields move back.
His giant axe fell onto Yao Mun, who was genuinely surprised.
"Skybreaker." Pangu announced to the universe. Unlike long ago, his attack used space Qi along with sky Qi. At the true god realm, having an affinity or not having an affinity meant not as much as it did in the earlier realms.
Only Chaos Qi required an affinity to use.
Yao Mun waved his sword up as one of his arms disappeared. As the attacks clashed, Yao Mun hurriedly added in a leg in order to block Pangu's attack.
"Incredible. As expected of someone even older than me." Yao Mun said as his limbs regrew.
Pangu was surprised. His signature attack had done almost nothing.
Pangu wasn't one to waste time, so he moved on to the end pretty quickly.
"Fine then. Take my ultimate move. It's a pity I'll have to showcase it on you." Pangu's voice resounded across the skies.
He raised his axe high, and Yao Mun's heart palpitated instinctively. All battlefields seemed to stop for a moment, and even Ying Xiong and the king of the destruction race slowed down in order to pay attention.
"Heavenbreaker." Pangu announced as Qi covered his axe. Technique pathways moved as Pangu's ultimate technique fell.
While Skybreaker was modeled in order to break a sky, Heavenbreaker seemed different. It was as if it was modeled to not only break the sky, but the sky that was the universe itself.
This was an attack meant for Heaven, the true owner and ruler of the Heaven galaxy, as well as the strongest existence under Zhou Fan.
Yao Mun's eyes widened as he sacrificed 60% of his soul and all of his limbs. He slashed upwards at Pangu's attack, but Pangu's attack was demonstrating a power far above his own level, something that should have not been normally used by a true god at the first level.
Nobody went unsurprised as Yao Mun's attack was shattered, and a long green slash appeared in space, seemingly severing the universe itself.
Pangu stumbled back and coughed as his body shrank down. That attack was so powerful that he, a true god, could hardly use it.
Many looked at the long green slash that seemed to sever the universe itself. It was bigger than even 1,000 galaxies stacked on top of each other.
The most common thought was, "Is Yao Mun alive?"
A few moments later, they got their answer. Space unfolded as Yao Mun stumbled out coughing blood. Although he could instantly heal his self-caused injuries from sacrifices, it seemed as though another person's attack was not so casually healed, especially one like Heavenbreaker.
Pangu stood, up ready to fight despite being injured, but Yao Mun raised his hand in a "wait" motion.
After coughing up a bit more blood, he spoke. "Let's not fight. We're both out of commission. Would you like to become sworn brothers?"
Anybody still paying attention to their scenario was dumbfounded to the point of jaws dropping mid clash.
Pangu looked at Yao Mun confused. Yao Mun sat down across from Pangu, and although they were separated by space the size of a galaxy, each of them could traverse it in an instant. It was as if they were next to each other.
After a moment, Pangu sat down. His injuries were worse than they seemed.
Yao Mun turned his head to the side and watched Ying Xiong and the king of the destruction race fight.
Everyone's battles continued on as this was still a life and death battlefield with hatred infused into it. Only Pangu and Yao Mun sat down.
Before long, Yao Mun turned his head. He was very injured and parts of his soul had been sacrificed. It would logically take a long time to heal. Pangu was just as out of commision.
"I heard the name of your technique. Heavenbreaker. I think you and I could get along." Yao Mun said with a smile.
Pangu snorted. "I am not as vile or disgusting as you. My Heavenbreaker is filled with respect and honor towards Heaven, to defeat him as an equal, but you are simply vengeful and rageful. Anybody can tell beneath that calm surface of yours."
Yao Mun shook his head with a smile. "Nobody that has not seen me before I first "Died" can see through my rage and hatred. I used to display it openly. Since you only think so much about my hatred, it is clear that you cannot see the depth of it. You are looking at a lake, but hidden below is an ocean."
Pangu looked at him silently.
Yao Mun spoke. "Although I did indeed sacrifice 60% of my soul, the full power of my attack was not displayed, which is why you are alive. You cannot comprehend how much I've changed since my loss, fighting wise at least. I must keep my true power concealed from everyone. Only Heaven and the Origin God can see it, for now at least."
Pangu's look turned more solemn. Yao Mun gave off no sign of lies.
Yao Mun looked at him, his eyes no longer concealing the emotions inside him, the true emotions that had been hidden away. "Today will be the day that everything changes. No matter what, there is only one person I truly respect, and he has already killed me."
As Yao Mun finished talking, the king of the destruction race and Ying Xiong backed away, taking a very brief breather and regrouping. Yao Mun joined the destruction race and stood right behind Lin Zhenwu, directly next to the three high lords.
The destruction race and the righteous faction looked at each other from afar.
Chapter 422: Remnant Power - 422
The king of the destruction race looked at Ying Xiong while panting. "You should understand the gravity of your situation now, right?"
Ying Xiong just stood silently as he regained his strength. While the righteous faction had expected the battle to be rather easy, the preparation of the destruction race had gone far deeper than shown.
It had been an equal battle so far, and only due to the fact that the righteous faction had been preparing for the day that they fought the destruction race.
The end result of the battle was unknown to everyone, and everyone would fight with their lives on the line.
Luckily, the battle was only fought by true gods and there had yet to be a single casualty.
"Say. How have…." The king of the destruction race stopped speaking, and the battlefield fell to a deathly silence. Not even hearts could be heard beating as all sound seemed to be removed from the universe.
The king of the destruction race slowly looked down, and the gaze of every single person present followed his own.
As his gaze reached his chest, he saw a sword poking out of it.
Behind him, holding the sword, Yao Mun's expression and posture completely changed. His calm eyes seemed to be filled with hatred as he looked at everything around him. He had suddenly healed from all of his injuries obtained in the battle against Pangu.
Yao Mun's right arm, as well as its soul, disappeared as the king of the destruction race, Lin Zhenwu, was horizontally bisected.
Everyone's eyes finally widened in recognition of the events as Lin Zhenwu's body fell.
There was no movement in the battlefield, and only Yao Mun seemed to make any sound.
"From now on, I, Yao Mun, am the king of the destruction race. Are there any objections?" He said as he turned around and looked at the destruction race.
None of them dared to react. The king of the destruction race had just been slaughtered.
That was until Yao Mun swung his sword down and a true god of the destruction race was instantly killed. Yao Mun had not even sacrificed his body parts.
"I asked, any objections?" He restated.
This time, the members of the destruction race numbly shook their heads.
Ying Xiong and the righteous faction were still quietly watching in shock until Yao Mun's gaze suddenly snapped over to them.
Yao Mun ordered. "Attack!"
As Yao Mun's arm regrew and disappeared, Ying Xiong was faced with a descending blade.
He finally snapped out of his trance and shouted. "Attack!"
A cosmic buddha's palm flew out and blocked the sword strike, but a hundred more followed as Yao Mun's body lost and gained parts rapidly. There seemed to be no end to his regeneration.
Thousands of cosmic buddha's palms flew out to match thousands of sword attacks as the battle between the destruction race and the righteous faction continued on, only with a new leader.
The members of the destruction race soon refocused, and accepted Yao Mun as their leader. He did not have a racial superiority like the king of the destruction race, but he had just killed the king of the destruction race, gaining their approval. Even if it was just a sneak attack.
Ying Xiong's cosmic buddha phantom appeared once again and fought against Yao Mun.
Unlike in the past, during the time of Guang Fu, Lernean, and Yao Mun, Yao Mun had changed. He no longer ignored attack techniques, but practiced them. His attack power was even greater than it would have been, and by a lot.
He was able to fight against Ying Xiong's cosmic buddha phantom and layered cosmic buddha's palms while only sacrificing two limbs for each attack.
He also focused on many other things. His defense and speed had changed incomparably, and his regeneration had only grown greater.
He fought like a talented and powerful genius whose attack's were amplified greatly.
Ying Xiong's back painting made its grandest appearance, but by sacrificing three limbs for every attack, Yao Mun was able to match him.
Ying Xiong began to tire, but Yao Mun seemed as normal as ever.
Yao Mun spoke. "Perhaps if the Ying Xiong of the past with your cultivation faced me, I would lose, or at least struggle, but you are not the same. I can see the difference clearly. You are weak."
Ying Xiong barely listened to him as he fought with all of his might. He had also felt naturally weak as he fought compared to before, yet he did not understand why. There was almost no difference compared to before.
Despite being 2 levels above Yao Mun, he was being pushed back.
Ying Xiong's eyes narrowed as he began to consider using absolutely everything, but a hand appeared in front of him and pushed him back, while another hand dispersed Yao Mun's attack.
Yao Mun paused as he looked in front of him.
"Yao Mun. I have come to finish this." Heaven said.
He stood there tall and confident. "You should have died long ago. As the Heaven's will it, you shall die here."
Yao Mun laughed. "Heaven participating in mortal affairs now. Are you even allowed? Regardless, do you think you can stop me?"
Heaven stood calmly. "Staying away from mortal affairs was a suggestion, and it is how I live my life. How about this, if you can escape, I will not pursue you."
Yao Mun did not answer as rage bursted out of him. Among all life in the universe, Heaven was the person he had always hated most. Ever since he cultivated, he had been a Heaven defying cultivator.
He held his sword up and sacrificed all his limbs and 60% of his soul, but did not slash down. His body, and now soul, seemed to heal instantly, though it had clearly taken a heavy toll, and he sacrificed them again. A third time and a fourth, Yao Mun was now sweating and weakened, but his sword was held high, bursting with a red aura.
Ying Xiong felt that this attack could kill him, and even Heaven could feel some sort of threat.
As the sword slashed down and Yao Mun screamed in rage, Heaven took a step forward and held his arms out.
"Remnant power."
A long hallway seemed to appear in front, behind, and under him. To his sides were figures of the past. The past Tian's.
This was a power that Heaven had created not too long after creating the Heaven domain, a place where his chosen could live after "Dying" until their lifespan was used up.
Tian Ren had gone, as well as Tian Fu, and all of the Tian's after them.
Remnant power stored their techniques and part of their mind, while Heaven's power used them.
