Chapter 63: Class Eight Battle II
The Emperor brought out his other hand and declared, "Heaven’s Command..."
Nearly standing up, Rehan exclaimed, "No way! He’s seriously using Heaven’s Command!?"
"...Celestial End."
The Kangxi Emperor fell from the sky down to the ground but he did not lose. The giant red monstrosity was stopped in its tracks by the palm of the Emperor. Electricity spread and the valley smouldered, smoke rising everywhere. The ground cracked beneath him as the snout of the dragon began to dissipate, following the rest of his body.
Li Tianlu teleported to the Emperor’s exposed side and swung his sword. The blade landed and the Emperor was blasted away. The swordsman chased after him but the Emperor recovered fast. He closed the gap before Li Tianlu could and delivered a rapid barrage of punches that seemed to strike from all angles.
Bam! A hard glowing fist struck his ribs, blood spewing from his nose, and forced the momentum of the battle to stop. Li Tianlu took three steps back, holding his chest, and coughed.
The Emperor observed him. "Is that all?"
Li Tianlu laughed. "If you weren’t capable of this much, I would be disappointed, Emperor. How about this?"
In the brief seconds of conversation, he healed himself. His bent chest regained its normal shape, confirming Dasha’s theory.
’So they have done it. They have reached the Nascent Soul, where their souls have been nurtured to the point of affecting their physical bodies. This is the last stage before immortality.’
Incredible. Truly incredible. He had learned so much from this battle and he was going to continue to learn from it.
