Chapter 609 394: Battle Technique
Chen Ku quickly locked onto the location where the Yin God Fruit Tree appeared using the Good Listening ability of the Six-Eared Macaque.
Six hundred miles away!
This shocked him, with a vague suspicion in his heart, could it be that the Yin God Fruit Tree has a special domain connection with the Dead Man Dam area?
Thinking of this, he became even more determined to uproot the Yin God Fruit Tree.
Soon,
Covering six hundred miles took him only a few minutes, reached in an instant, he looked at the Yin God Fruit Tree, which had already taken root again on the bank of the Black Water River.
This time, Chen Ku didn't rush to pick a second Yin God Fruit.
Instead, he used his Double Pupils to carefully observe the fruit tree, which appeared entirely illusory, like something phantom that bore real fruits.
Chen Ku even descended beneath the river's surface, integrating with the river water using the posture of a Xuanwu Spirit Body, to observe how this fruit tree acquired nutrients.
Just when he was about to go down.
Suddenly, he felt two strands of Qi Mechanism approaching the riverbank.
On the bank.
"Junior Master Jin, look, aren't the fruits on that tree ahead the Yin God Fruits we bought? We found them simply by walking around, truly lucky."
Noble youth Hua Qingyun smiled and walked with his hands behind his back towards the bank, but upon closer inspection, he exclaimed lightly:
"Why is there only one left? Chu Xiong from Yin Yang Hall told me he picked some and then the tree moved, there should be two hanging there."
Behind him, a hunchbacked old man named Jin laughed: "Maybe someone else picked it, however, Qingyun, your Qi Fortune is truly unmatched, wherever you go, treasures appear. I believe this time in the Five Elements Land, you will have great harvests."
Old Man Jin's age in Fighting God Palace can be said to be the oldest among the sixth generation of disciples. Back when the previous Fighting God Palace's Fighting God and Champion Marquis Yang Shou dueled in the Jianghu battlefield with one win each, he was already over a hundred years old, and now he's nearing three hundred years old.
Over these three hundred years, he has seen quite a few people.
Yet he still gets astonished by the natural talent of some juniors and disciples chosen by his Fighting God Palace.
Not to mention Hua Yuexian, who can be described as a prodigy in Dragon Abyss Province, a rarity in a millennium.
Even his apprentice is someone blessed with great Qi Fortune.
This young Qingyun joined the sect five years ago when he was only ten, but already had a fortuitous encounter, fell off a cliff, and obtained a Divine Weapon. Since then, each year he has had various fortuitous encounters…
Even the long-dormant 'Fighting God Ape' in the Fighting God Palace granted him a 'Life-saving Feather'. Even if he dies, his soul can be revived within the Fighting God Palace.
In just five years, he has already reached the peak of the Eighth Realm, able to overcome five major limits and spar with those in the Fourth Heaven of the Ninth Realm.
Certainly, Fighting God Palace's rich resources and abundant cultivation supplies play a role.
But his astounding Qi Fortune is the key reason for his rapid cultivation progress.
Since this child is so blessed with great Qi Fortune, encountering fortuitous encounters during his journey, his junior 'Hua Yuexian', decided that after the child perfected the Eighth Realm cultivation, to send him out for trials, to this land of danger and opportunity known as Five Elements Land.
Furthermore, entrusted this Tenth Realm cultivator, to protect his Tao.
"Although there's only one fruit left on the tree, the Yin God Fruit Tree can be taken away. However, its body is illusory, being a mass of Pure Yin Yuan Qi. You can try using the 'Battle Technique' to develop a Martial Arts skill capable of binding Pure Yin Yuan Qi, then attempt to uproot it." Old Man Jin said.
While speaking, his brow furrowed slightly.
As if sensing something.
Hua Qingyun remains unaware and proceeds to step forward, clapping hands together, palms shining, seemingly interpreting some supreme Martial Arts Divine Skill.
Just as he was about to capture the Yin God Fruit Tree.
"Wait, something's wrong... There's someone under the tree!"
Old Man Jin suddenly shouted, stepping forward directly:
"Be careful, Qingyun."
Chen Ku had initially entered the water to investigate the roots of the Yin God Fruit. Using the abilities of the Xuanwu Spirit Body, he merged into this water domain, so even Old Man Jin, that Tenth Realm Primordial Heaven level Innate Expert, didn't immediately detect Chen Ku's Qi Mechanism.
Until Hua Qingyun was about to take away the Yin God Fruit Tree.
Chen Ku couldn't hold back anymore.
He had found the fruit tree first, and now it's about to be taken by someone else.
Though knowing he couldn't contend against that Tenth Realm Great Ability, he couldn't possibly watch the Yin God Fruit Tree, already belonging to him, be taken away.
So he directly took action, suddenly raising a large hand from the riverbed to first pick the second Yin God Fruit.
The reason Chen Ku did this is very simple.
Once the fruit is picked, the Yin God Fruit Tree will disappear, so he first takes the second fruit, letting the Yin God Fruit Tree escape, knowing he has a way to find the tree again, he couldn't allow it to be stolen.
And the moment he grabbed the fruit, he shrank back into the water, quickly flowing downstream, trying to slip away under the nose of the Tenth Realm cultivator.
At this moment.
Hua Qingyun's face was shocked, ashamed, and angry, even developing a strong murderous intent:
"Actually, dared... dared to steal my thing!!"
He roared:
"Courting death!"
Since childhood, he had been blessed with great fortune, finding benefits wherever he went. Later, he became a disciple of Hua Yuexian, the top prodigy of Dragon Abyss, who had already been designated as the next War God of Fighting God Palace.
What kind of place is Fighting God Palace? It's a Martial Arts Holy Land, and throughout the entire world of Daji, there are only seven Martial Arts Holy Lands.
The status of a Holy Land Master is comparable to that of a marquis or prince.
His master is the next generation Saint, which means he could be the generation after next.
Within the Fighting God Palace, when traveling outside, encountering disciples of the Nine Great Sects, who among them does not respect or fear him? Who would dare to defy upon hearing the names of Fighting God Palace or his master Hua Yuexian?
And yet...
Now, someone actually dares to snatch his divine fruit right in front of his face!
He instantly looked at the figure that had retreated into the depths of Black Water River and shouted loudly:
"Junior Master Jin!"
There was almost no need for Hua Qingyun to say more.
This Tenth Realm powerful being of the Fighting God Palace took action immediately.
He moved, like a flood dragon, soaring across the sky, sensing Chen Ku's qi mechanism, and towards the location of the qi mechanism downstream of the Black Water River, threw a punch; it was fierce and domineering, unstoppable, with an aura of peerless sovereignty!
This punch revealed the extraordinary response of "Primordial Heaven Realm," the threshold of the Tenth Realm Martial Practitioner.
With this punch,
even the qi mechanism between heaven and earth was stirred, roaring as it came, changing winds and clouds, surrounding the golden fist mark punched out by the old man Jin, propelling it to grow larger, like a small sun crashing into the bottom of Black Water River.
"Not good!"
Without turning back, Chen Ku sensed this terrifying qi mechanism, already beyond the scope of true qi and gang qi, blood qi, but was the power of 'True Yuan' condensed by reversing innateness, akin to the qi of heaven and earth.
"Heavenly Yin Refining!"
He instantly executed the divine skill obtained from the world of 'Sang Hensong,' which could use 'Pure Yin Power' to teleport his body.
Especially in this river water filled with dense yin qi.
In an instant, Chen Ku's figure plunged into a dark domain, which was the Taiyin Domain between heaven and earth...
Boom!
Old Man Jin's Tenth Realm punch exploded the river water for several miles, terrifying water dragons shot up into the sky, rolling up boundless silt and millennia-old corpses from the riverbed.
The surging river, in an instant, was severed, stopped in its flow, dried up by the fist wind, leaving a dry area of three to four miles in radius...
Moments later, the upstream river water flooded back down.
However,
Old Man Jin was astounded to find that Chen Ku's figure, after a flash beneath that punch, appeared three to four miles away, just barely evading his punch!
After dodging, his figure swiftly dove into the forest ahead.
"Hm? It's the 'Heavenly Yin Refining Form Technique' that allows one to teleport their body into yin qi!"
Old Man Jin, a three hundred-year-old of the Fighting God Palace, recognized Chen Ku's divine skill at a glance. With a cold snort, he moved towards the direction where Chen Ku dove into the forest.
However.
He took a step and arrived above the forest, but unexpectedly lost sight of Chen Ku's figure.
His expression slightly changed:
"Where is he?"
At this moment, Chen Ku had silently transformed into a First Realm bee, buzzing slowly without attracting attention, under Old Man Jin's nose, flying in one direction.
Whew~~
Seeing that the Tenth Realm powerful being couldn't recognize his transformation skill, Chen Ku couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, yet unexpectedly, the stern shout of that young man named Hua Qingyun came from behind Old Man Jin:
"Junior Master Jin, that person must still be here!"
Old Man Jin nodded, carefully searching every place in front of the forest, saying gravely, "I can feel his qi mechanism still in this area, not beyond a five-mile radius, but... I just don't know how he's hiding his figure."
"A five-mile radius?"
Hua Qingyun spoke:
"Isn't that easy, Master Uncle? Just use your Sky-Supporting Mountain Seal and smash it down, covering a five-mile radius. No matter where he is, he'll have to withstand your seal!"
This voice was clear, with a penetrating power over everything.
"This little fellow, quite cruel-hearted..."
Chen Ku instantly perceived the opponent's intention, to force him out, yet had to admit the opponent's goal was achieved.
Immediately, behind a giant tree, he reverted to his original form, taking a step upwards.
"Ha, there he is!"
Hua Qingyun's sharp eyes quickly pursued with a step and shouted:
"Master Uncle, assist me. I shall kill this one myself!"
As soon as the words fell, his figure flashed several miles, arriving behind Chen Ku, forming a fist mark with both hands, which in an instant transformed into a golden large fingerprint hundreds of meters in size, pressing down on Chen Ku from above like squashing an ant!
