Bing Xue squinted her eyes as she saw the small information she could discern from the Primal King with a mere glance.
[High Australopithecus Primal King: Lv7254]
Over Level seven thousand, it made sense now that he was so strong. However, she still had to admit that the boy who was barely Level 999 and fought him was even more impressive.
Just who was he?
"Someone who fought a monster over six thousand levels on his own…" Bing Xue smiled. "You'll be worthy of becoming my disciple."
With a mere thought, golden waves covered Seth's body parts, teleporting them inside her Inner Realm.
At the same time, the furious Primal King glanced in disbelief at his own arms, now devoid of hands.
"G-Grah…?!" He then looked back at her. "RAAAH!"
With a furious roar, he rushed towards Bing Xue, kicking the floor beneath him and leaving a tremendous crater that only a meteor would have left behind. His arms, even without fists, moved at thunderous speed, sparkling electricity surging from his own muscles, moving at incredible, superhuman speed.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Bing Xue was slightly surprised, as she was attacked by a barrage of devastating blows. The Primal King had no hands anymore, but there was no other way to describe his blows other than punches!
Her Doppelganger's body was being slowly twisted with each attack, as Bing Xue sensed the durability of the Doppelganger rapidly decreasing.
It was incredible how powerful he was!
"Not bad."
Bing Xue talked with a voice full of authority but also an acknowledgment of the Primal King's tremendous strength. Her entire body flared with the brightest, most burning light her Doppelganger could unleash, as she sent the Primal King flying away with a loud explosion of hyper-concentrated Divine Photon Essence.
BOOOM!
"Uaagh…!"
The Primal King couldn't believe it; the pain he felt was much more intense than anything he had ever experienced throughout his entire life. His body fell onto the floor again, his sharp eyes looking in disbelief at the woman who had appeared and utterly humiliated him.
"GRRHH…! GRAAAHH!"
With a furious roar, he got back up once more. Despite his body being burned, it began to regenerate rather rapidly. And Bing Xue even noticed something rather shocking: his hands were also growing back, from the bone to the muscles, nerves, joints, skin, and so on.
The Primal Power this being had "cultivated" within his body was on another level completely compared to the rest. Bing Xue started to feel like he wasn't just another fly; she was fighting with what might be cataloged as the "Pinnacle" of the world it came from.
"Come." She said, unsheathing her Yin and Yang Sword. "I'll take you head on; let us see who stands Supreme between Worlds!"
"RAAAAHHH!"
The Primal King bared his giant, sharp fangs, resembling those of a furious ape. His entire body grew twice as large out of nowhere, packed full of immense muscles. His skin flared up, becoming bright red as if he had turned into a demon, and black hair began to grow across his body.
"He's transforming?!" Bing Xue thought for a second before the Primal King appeared above her.
"UGRAAH!"
A giant punch reached her, and an explosion of golden essence erupted in front of her. Bing Xue's doppelganger body was sent flying down. For the first time since she came from Murim, something was actually offering a decent challenge. Although it was only to her own Doppelganger and not her real body.
BAAAM!
As her Doppelganger reached the ground, the Primal King rushed down. Bing Xue greeted him with a dozen Void Beams, which exploded over his skin. She noticed that the red skin was incredibly tough, and although it left holes, they were unable to pierce past the bone.
"Skin capable of resisting the Void Dao…?" She thought. "So he has the properties of a God already, or maybe…?"
"UNGRAAH!"
The Primal King roared, and a dozen fist attacks reached Bing Xue, each one exploding as they hit her barrier, which quickly shattered into pieces. The ground surrounding them started crumbling down.
Bing Xue analyzed his attacks as her Doppelganger continued accumulating damage, and then she attacked back. First, chains made of the [Blessed Blazing Starlight Cursed Relic Creation] Skill, imbued with the strongest Curse her Skill could unleash.
FLASH!
"GRUH?!"
The Primal King was restrained for a second, only for his muscular arms to quickly break through the hard metal, shattering it into pieces.
Then it rushed towards her, leaping in the middle of the air.
Later, a divine formation was created, encompassing him completely.
"GRAH?!"
"{Primordial Rainbow Spiritual Formation}: {Bringer of Nirvana}"
A dozen rainbow-colored pearls made out of Bing Xue's Photon Essence and her other energies materialized around the Primal King.
The pearls overflowed with tremendous quantities of light. The Primal King was encompassed in an endless sea of burning light, capable of disintegrating most matter.
FLASH!
"Gryyaaeerghh!"
The rainbow light surged endlessly and then slowly formed into a blossoming lotus flower.
As the screams of the Primal King reverberated, Bing Xue charged her Ying and Yang sword with her Primordial Energies and Mana, rushing towards the Primal King once more.
"I know that didn't kill you."
SLAAASH!
She swung her sword against him, the smoke dissipating to reveal the Primal King's body half-charred and slowly beginning to regenerate.
With a single slash, she slashed against his arms, which he used to protect his chest. The Primal King gnashed his teeth, quickly spinning in midair and evading another swing from above.
"You!"
"UNGRAH!"
The will to survive within the Primal King was immense; as he kicked the air beneath, he rushed upwards, hitting Bing Xue's stomach with a tremendously strong headbutt.
BAAAM!
"Ugh?!"
Her Doppelganger's durability quickly decreased, gaining countless cracks.
"Amazing!"
Bing Xue only praised him, however, quickly swinging her sword against him while at the same time releasing her Domain and her Aura, suddenly shaking the entire heavens and the earth below.
RUMBLE!
"GUH?!"
The Primal King was covered in countless slashes, blood splattering from all his wounds. At the same time, he had to deal with immense pressure; it was as if he were facing the weight of the heavens above!
"{Primordial Spiritual Body Arts}: {Domain of Golden Heavens}"
The heavens above turned gold, and the earth below became a sea of golden light. The Primal King didn't know what sort of trick this sorceress was doing now, but he panicked! Something was coming—more burning and painful than anything he had ever experienced!
And it did.
From the skies, gigantic golden spears began to spin, rushing down towards him endlessly. The skies themselves became Bing Xue's vault of treasures as she unleashed a myriad of flying projectiles.
"{Domain of Golden Heavens}: {Primordial Treasure Vault}!"
A technique that she had used to kill Venerables, a powerful ability that killed over a hundred thousand Primordials at once, this was one of Bing Xue's strongest long-ranged, wide-ranged techniques.
But she concentrated it all against the Primal King alone! And then she further boosted it with her new Divine Photon Essence and her [Blessed Blazing Starlight Cursed Relic Creation] Skill!
"RAAAH! GRAAAH!"
The Primal King roared like a furious beast, punching the gigantic weapons as they came. Each punch disintegrated his arms and fists, and as he kept trying to fight back, the giant weapons kept hitting him, taking away large chunks of his body.
Using his tremendous, superhuman body, he kept regenerating rapidly. Bing Xue was fascinated by how tough he was. For a moment, she recalled a time when she also struggled, fighting against the heavens and the Venerables.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
When even her strongest attacks couldn't kill something instantly! And the Pinnacle of the Primal World, the King of Brutes, might be someone comparable to such beings.
At least in sheer physical strength and regeneration!
The Primal King kept grinding through Bing Xue's projectiles, rushing towards her. The doppelganger's body quickly grew tens of arms and palms, intercepting the incoming blows with dexterous and rapid strikes, showcasing her refined usage of Martial Arts.
"{Golden Serpent's Flowing Fist}"
Her countless hands moved with finesse and majestic beauty, resembling a serpent dancing and flowing. The Primal King was caught time and time again, unable to easily overcome the enormous wall between his physical prowess and her unparalleled technique!
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
"UNGRAAAH!"
And then, as his furious mind flared with anger, he began to recall something. The fury of the Trex, the charge of the Triceratops, the sharp beak of the Pterodactyl, and the crushing foot of the Brachiosaurus. All these images blossomed within his body as he struggled to keep up with Bing Xue's unparalleled technique.
"ROAAR!"
Suddenly, the caveman roared like a dinosaur; his hands became like sharp claws, intercepting Bing Xue's flowing fists and crushing them like the destructive bite of a Trex!
CRASH!
"What…?!"
And then, the caveman rushed forward, both of his fists in front, his Primal Power flowing through his entire muscles. A deadly charge broke through Bing Xue's defenses and techniques, slamming her with tremendous force.
BAAAM!
"This is…!"
The Primal King didn't end there; his hands became sharp beaks, rushing down against her like piercing, precise beaks, striking the vitals of her Doppelganger!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Her Doppelganger continued to gain more and more cracks.
"He's using Martial Arts!" Bing Xue thought. "He's… creating them as we fight? Imitating the ancient Dinosaurs? This is ridiculous! Haha!"
"UNGRAAH!"
And then, the Primal King lifted his arms into the air, imitating the long neck of the Brachiosaurus, as his feet moved together, stomping her down like the almighty King of Dinosaurs.
CRAAASH!
Bing Xue's doppelganger was sent down, her entire body shattering like glass and slowly beginning to dissipate. She smiled at the caveman, admiring his incredible perseverance, because it reminded her of her own perseverance a long time ago.
"You created Martial Arts based on the beasts you've been fighting for dozens—no, perhaps hundreds of years? How old are you?" Bing Xue wondered.
"I am... three hundred." Said the Primal King. "Woman of light... You fought well. I thank you because of our fight. I grew stronger. Tapping my true potential!"
"Haha… You sure have amazing potential, yeah." Bing Xue laughed as her Doppelganger dissipated into particles of golden light.
The Primal King looked down, thinking the fight was over. He was tired, but he had gained a new power. To further channel his brute strength, he had to refine it!
And Martial Arts were the key!
Smiling with his newfound confidence, he looked at the city in the distance.
"Now-"
"Too bad, because I can't let you blossom any more."
"AH! What…?!"
The Primal King's eyes widened as he suddenly found himself surrounded by four more Bing Xues. Their bodies quickly came together, fusing into a single being, an even stronger Doppelganger, sharing an even higher percentage of her powers and a greater connection to her True Techniques.
"Primal King, you're a threat to my world." She said with a judgmental glare. "And I cannot let you grow stronger or threaten my people another second. You and your kind shall go extinct now."
"What sort of... sorcery is this?! RAAAH!" The Primal King grew furious and frustrated, rushing towards Bing Xue with all the power he had acquired and learned!
Yet…
YET!
"Because of the amazing strength you've shown, I will give you the privilege of seeing the pinnacle of Martial Arts in Murim."
Suddenly, Bing Xue's stance changed—no, it constantly changed! The Primal King saw a swan, a tiger, a dragon, a bat, a snake, a boar, an elephant, and many, many beasts.
What sort of trickery was this?
What sort of sorcery was this?!
The woman in front of him was becoming countless animals!
Yet all of them began to converge into one, slowly, together.
And then the animal became a human.
A woman.
The one above Venerables.
The Primordial Immemorial Venerable!
"I do not need to imitate any beast, because, between Heaven and Earth, I am the honored one."
Her pose changed, becoming like that of a delicate yet almighty empress.
Rainbow light emanated from her entire body.
The culmination of thousands of martial arts techniques she learned, mastered, and fused together.
It all came back to only one thing.
Herself!
"{Primordial Heavenly Martial Empress of Light Arts}: {Primordial Nirvana's Spear}"
With a single movement of her arms, Heaven and Earth distorted, fusing into her own movements. The Primal King screamed in utter disbelief as he saw the earth and the sky converge, swirling together and forming two massive, rainbow spears.
Bing Xue's surroundings were completely encompassed with rainbow light; it was as if she were in another realm entirely. Wherever she looked, heaven and earth moved with her.
This was the pinnacle of her martial arts, {Primordial Heavenly Martial Empress of Light Arts}!
CLASH!
Each of her punches was the attack of this spear, and she only sent two attacks with each of her arms. The Primal King was immediately overwhelmed. His lower half was instantly pierced, and his legs, his crotch, and his stomach exploded and disintegrated instantly.
"W-Wha… What is this…?!"
The Primal King could only look and wonder what was happening before the second spear reached the rest of his body.
CLASH!
And then the only thing he could see was white light.
And darkness.
