Chapter 774: Chapter 774: You Yu Confronts the Eldest Senior Brother   The land trembled, and the Bone Text shone. Blood splattered, strikingly crimson, accompanied by scarlet light, dazzlingly brilliant. “Divine Blood, possessing mysterious phenomena!” Even some of the older masters had serious looks, their pupils shining with sharp gleams. The spilled blood emitted intense red glows, almost burning, radiating terrifying fluctuations, each droplet more radiant and splendid than rubies. “Thud!” Palms and fingers clashed again, like muffled thunder. The two young masters passed by each other, characters intertwining, divine light piercing the sky; they each retreated far away, and then, withdrawing their fists, stood on different mountain peaks. “A figure has emerged from the Supreme Dao Ground, able to endure a palm from You Yu without dying, merely bleeding from the hand,” someone sighed. People saw that the elegant youth had one hand covered in fresh blood, dripping with blood beads, as he looked down, staring at his own palm. “To achieve this is already remarkable, blocking You Yu’s strike. Such a character is truly stunning, spread across all states, how many could do the same? Blending with the Heavenly Destiny Stone, the Primordial of the imperial family has immeasurable combat power, and now a disciple from a fallen sect has withstood him, surviving unscathed. On another summit, You Yu stood tall, his purple hair thick and flowing with the wind, his eyes like divine lamps casting terrible glows, dazzling and intimidating, exuding an invincible aura. “You Yu is invincible, who dares compete!?” The youth of the Celestials Clan were all exhilarated; You Yu’s strike injuring a young man from a deteriorating sect filled them with excitement. Recently, the Celestials Clan had too many negative news; the Immortal Treasure was snatched away, Desolate going on a killing spree, followed by Yulun being beheaded by this minor sect’s disciple, utterly disastrous. Now with You Yu striking, invincible and domineering, possessing an unrivaled elegance, he makes the Celestials Clan’s younger generation’s blood surge with fervor. “You Yu is indeed extraordinary and saintly, stronger than we had imagined by a great margin. How could a mere disciple of a waning sect compare with the young Supreme of our clan?” A Divine Fire Realm elder spoke, his eyes full of appreciation, feeling gratified that the Celestials Clan had successors and their future is destined to shine again. “It is as it should be. Our Primordial’s body flows with ancient king’s blood, their bones bearing an invincible mark. If he can’t suppress a minor sect’s disciple with ease, how can he proudly overlook the Three Thousand States of the higher realms?” Another Divine Fire Realm elder said arrogantly. A group of young Celestials became even more excited, proud of their own lineage. It’s foreseeable that You Yu will lead them on the road to rejuvenation, destined to rise, overwhelming all opposition, leaving his mark in history. True Gods arrived from the Celestials Clan, but they had solemn looks, not showing the joy as their disciples did; rather, their eyes emitted cold sharpness, as if they wished to take action themselves immediately. “You Yu is so strong, it seems that he will easily defeat the descendant of the Supreme Dao Ground, it won’t take long.” “With just one punch from You Yu, that young man was already injured.” While various beings from different tribes discussed, the Golden Wolf Tribe, Crack Demonic Butterfly, master of the Blood Sea, Feng Wu, Jiaotu, and others all showed unusual expressions, their eyes emitting sharp gleams, staring at the center of the arena. “Shut up, what do you know? It’s not like that, the blood is You Yu’s!” shouted the Golden Wolf Tribe, transformed into a youth with golden hair like the Sun, emitting blinding light, and his pupils sharp as knives. The crowd was at first shaken by his terrifying presence, and then shocked, what did he mean? The blood wasn’t from the disciple of the Supreme Dao Ground? Everyone was stunned, their expressions froze. Originally, many people were discussing and amazed by You Yu’s strength, thinking that with one punch he could wound his opponent, but the outcome they heard was so abrupt. “You Yu’s blood?” Many people forcefully swallowed their spit, feeling incredulous and their faces filled with shock as they looked toward the center of the arena. You Yu stood tall and straight atop the mountain peak, like a devil God in his imposing aura, so overwhelming that it left people feeling suffocated. His eyes were deep, and his robe sleeves were wide, obscuring his hands from view. On the other hand, the youth from the Supreme Dao Ground, although his palm was bright red with blood dripping down, seemed… indeed to have no injuries. The crowd was in an uproar. It was only the first strike, and You Yu had suffered a slight disadvantage, rather than the disciple from that small and broken sect being injured? This was hard for them to believe. “This can’t be real!” A group of young people from the Celestials Clan turned pale, clenched their fists tightly, and stared ahead. Such an outcome, so contrary to their earlier cheers, was not what they had expected. It left them both shocked and somewhat fearful, worried about You Yu’s defeat. Even the elders from the Clan who were at the Divine Fire Realm were taken aback; even they had missed the signs, mainly because they too strongly believed in You Yu’s might and had not anticipated the youth’s terrifyingly formidable body. From a distance, the spectating crowd was noisy, their voices creating a tumultuous din. “Hm?” The eyes of the True God from the Celestials Clan flickered, somewhat relieved, as he let out a sigh of relief. Besides, some outstanding figures from the various sects widened their eyes, revealing an astonished expression. And the likes of the Golden Wolf Tribe, the Saintess from the Sword Palace, Feng Wu, Mu Zixiao, and the Crack Demonic Butterfly all showed a serious demeanor, focusing on the changes happening in the battleground. Shi Hao’s right hand was glowing red-hot, emitting a scarlet firelight, and it spread upwards along his entire arm, with Bone Text wrapping around, emitting a series of booming sounds. “Blood Mud Hand!” Mu Zixiao from the Divine Cliff Academy spoke in a solemn tone, his expression extremely grave, those three words seeming to carry a demonic nature. Upon hearing this, everyone else’s faces changed color. Even some elders shuddered, their eyebrows shooting up as they opened their divine gaze to carefully observe Shi Hao’s arm, and then they couldn’t help but gasp in cold air. Cultivators from all sects felt a chill, their bodies breaking out in goosebumps. The Blood Mud Hand is a very terrifying type of fist imprint; once mastered, when used against someone of the same level, it could instantly cause the flesh and blood to dry up, burning away the spirit and turning into a pool of blood mud. This secret technique is extremely venomous, known as a forbidden method. In the past, many Celestial Gods had died under this type of fist imprint, and even some Sect Hierarchs drank hatred because of it, earning it the reputation of being the “Devil Hand” that could slay prominent figures. This method is extremely difficult to master, not a secret kept within any one sect. If one is determined and willing to pay the price, they could obtain the complete scriptures. But its difficulty in cultivation is excessive, and one small mistake could deplete one’s essence, causing self-harm; very few people can master it. People hadn’t expected that You Yu had mastered this secret technique, wielding the Blood Mud Hand with his own blood as a catalyst! Clearly, the successor of the Supreme Dao Ground was in big trouble. Shi Hao’s entire arm was burning with pain, as if it were on the verge of disintegration—a very discomforting and troublesome sensation. The Blood Mud Hand is one of the most ruthless and venomous fist imprints from the higher realms. “Open!” He let out a loud shout, his exhalation thunderous, electric arcs formed in the void, his entire arm bursting with auspicious scarlet radiance as he harnessed his powerful precious symbol to erase the blood-colored runes. However, this secret technique was quite peculiar, akin to a persistent ulcer that clings to the bone, difficult to completely remove once adhered, as it sought to fuse with flesh and blood into one. This was the terrifying aspect of the Blood Mud Hand; it transformed the body into mud, a process that seemed unstoppable! “Bang!” Shi Hao no longer merely defended, but switched to offense, his arm pulsating with vigorous life force, blood surging, transforming into a Divine Sword, emanating blazing Sword Qi. Hiss! His pores shone, expelling a mist of blood. Subsequently, the Bone Text dimmed, and like an arm consumed by flames returning to normal, no more oscillations were felt. “The Senior Brother from the Supreme Dao Ground is so powerful, he can actually break the Blood Mud Hand!” Not just the youths, even the elders widened their eyes in utter shock. In the past, the reason why many Celestial Gods and Sect Hierarchs fell to this single punch was due to its eerie and vicious nature, when land upon those of the same tier, tough to dissipate. “Boom!” That expanse of mountains erupted with blinding light as the two young powerhouses clashed once more, hurtling towards each other like two colliding great mountains, the momentum grand and vast. The two swiftly engaged, turning into dim silhouettes, with patches of divine radiance rising around them, their speed too fast, engaging in over a hundred rounds of combat in a blink of an eye. This spectacle was astounding, originally thought to be a battle that would be decided in dozens of moves, but the Senior Brother from the Supreme Dao Ground was unimaginably strong, matching You Yu evenly. This result overturned many people’s speculations before the battle commenced. A duel of titans, a shift in the wind and clouds, this was destined to be an unpredictable great war. You Yu was dominant, initiating the attack from the onset, his killing moves incessant—one moment he surged like a Zhuyan leaping, the next moment he spread his wings like a Pi Xiu Emperor, pouncing towards his opponent. “Bang!” He formed Dharma Seals with both hands, shaking the void—on one hand like a tiger, the other like a dragon, accompanied by massive roars as the manifested tiger and dragon lunged forward, fighting for dominion, with the precious imprints strikingly powerful, bombarding Shi Hao. Hiss! Shi Hao’s fists shone with dazzling brilliance, twisting the sky with his Divine Power, confronting the tiger and dragon head-on. Intense light burst forth between the two, akin to lightning, a result of their clash, Divine Power colliding, beams flooding the skies. If someone were to be caught in this altercation, they would certainly burst into pieces and evaporate into a mist of blood in an instant. Shi Hao repelled his opponent and then his whole being erupted with auspicious hues, releasing a surge of alarming fluctuations. His leg whipped out like a dragon-snake lashing its tail, extremely forceful. This was the Golden Serpent Leg, a precious symbol acquired from the Primordial Heaven Secret Realm. The name was ordinary, but the power was staggering, like a whip formed by dragon-snakes, making the void tremble as it lash out. You Yu was extraordinary, raising his hand, he constrained a whole mountain, hurling it towards Shi Hao. Crack! Shi Hao’s Golden Serpent Leg left behind a golden whip shadow, striking the mountain and causing it to explode. Boulders crumbled like clouds, dust and sand flying everywhere. Yet his leg remained unswayed in direction, locked onto You Yu, and continued to strike out, resonating with the dragon-snake. Bang! You Yu parried with both arms, his blood qi roiling, his purple hair in disarray, eyes shining with light, his pupils ejecting two gleaming War Spears. Clang! Shi Hao spat out a barrage of lightning, blowing them away, transforming into Bone Text, dissipating into the void. Simultaneously, Shi Hao’s right palm struck down, enveloping a sphere of light which finally formed into a gigantic ball of lightning, as large as a mountain peak, smashing down towards You Yu. This was the application of the Thunder Emperor’s Treasure Art, formed into a lightning palm, erupting in an instant. “Roar…” You Yu roared, resonating with the sounds of the heaven, the runes from his mouth rippling outwards like ripples, evolving into tidal waves of runes. Similar to the Celestials’ Lion’s Roar Divine Skill, this “Celestials’ Howl” was wild and unruly, causing the void to tremble, several large mountains below to erupt into pieces, the scene horrifying. Shi Hao swept his hand, manifestations of Bone Text emerging to blockade the heavenly sounds, and in his hands appeared a golden War Spear, transformed from lightning, he thrust it straight out, aimed at You Yu’s brow. “Boom!” The world erupted into chaos, You Yu’s hands came together in a seal, capturing the tip of the spear, emitting boundless light, with a majestic treasure-like aura. Many trembled, this was the Heaven’s Seal, hands coming together, touted to sever all tangible material of the world, one of the forbidden Peerless Skills of the Celestials Clan! Indeed, the tip of the spear exploded, turning into astonishing thunder and lightning, engulfing the area, electric arcs lashing out in all directions, terrifyingly striking, like a golden ocean sweeping across the heavens. However, some keen-eyed individuals noticed a droplet of blood falling between You Yu’s fingers, where a wound lay. “That’s it, he sustained an injury to his palm during the first clash with the descendant of the Supreme Dao Ground, bleeding from it, thus he directly resorted to deploying the Blood Mud Hand.” People were moved, realizing that You Yu had reverted to the terrifying Blood Mud Hand because of the wound on his finger. How fearsome was the descendant of the Supreme Dao Ground’s body? To have inflicted a light wound on You Yu in their first strike, eerily formidable and somewhat inconceivable. A declining sect, silently nurturing such a young Supreme Being? Previously little-known and unrecognized, this was somewhat bizarre! Many eyes were fixed on Shi Hao, some even exhibiting a look of surprise. The Heaven’s Seal came together once more, You Yu’s expression cold and ruthless, his hands colliding like two pieces of heaven and earth, meeting and dispersing the symbols Shi Hao had put forth, making the firmament shake violently. “Boom!” Shi Hao’s body lit up, dense with Bone Text, Heaven’s Tribulation Light emerged, as if heralding the end of the world, submerging everything ahead, modeled after that piece of Supreme Bone’s precious symbol from his past. The place boiled over! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.
