AST 2490 - Stepping into Eighth Mortal Step, A Turn for the Better

Basic Sword Techniques!

Qing Shui’s sword strike was direct and clean . Qing Shui was utilizing an attack that combined the mastery of upper, middle, and lower sword techniques comprehension . This was the first time that Qing Shui had used it in a real battle . He had been practicing it .

Divine Weapon Flying Sword appeared as though it was carrying a blazing rainbow as it flew toward the Heaven Star Battle God .

Scattered Star Chess Pieces!

Heaven Star Battle God shook his sword once and the surrounding sky was covered in stars . The area was sparkling about as if it had become a giant chessboard . Heaven Star Battle God’s body shuffled back and forth, just like a fish in water . The Heaven Star Sword within his hand was fiercely attacking at full strength .

Bang!

Continuous contact noises could be heard . Qing Shui’s technique was ancient and simple . It was simple to the point that a three to five years old child could understand . The attacks could not be called ordinary by any means . Though it was simple, with each strike, Qing Shui could feel the terrifying power that was the Basic Sword Technique . This was especially true as the technique was being utilized by the Divine Weapon Flying Sword .

With the Divine Weapon Flying Sword’s reduction and Qing Shui’s strengths and debuffs on the opposition, Qing Shui felt there was not much pressure in this fight .

Once Qing Shui had debuffed the opposition, he would have the advantage in terms of speed . Under the influence of the Scatter Star Chess Pieces used by the Heaven Star Battle God, the speed disadvantage was nullified .

“Young man, if you have any trump cards, you better use it now . Otherwise, you can’t kill me . ” Heaven Star Battle God said as he laughed at Qing Shui .

As he was speaking, the Heaven Star Battle God opened up caves behind his back .

Ten caves! Moreover, those caves were not common .

Ten caves weren’t a lot, but the opposition was the Nine Continents Divine Palace’s Palace Lord, thus Qing Shui did not feel surprised . Qing Shui reacted by opening his own ten caves behind him . The ten caves glittered in golden radiance .

“To be one of the ten caves holders as well, how extraordinary!”

“Divine Palace’s Palace Lord’s ten caves are common, but the young man’s ten caves are remarkable . If it was based on the auras given off by the caves, the young man seems to have the upper hand on the Palace Lord . ”

“However, Divine Palace’s Palace Lord’s realm is undoubtedly higher . ”

“But I feel that the young man has more than meets the eye . The Palace Lord had said that if it were a battle to the death, the one who would perish would be the Palace Lord . ”

Two vigorous looking old men were observing the battle seriously .

With the opening of the caves, many beasts appeared on the battlefield . Heaven Star Battle God was Grade Ten Nurture God Realm . In terms of the martial realm, the Heaven Star Battle God was much higher than Qing Shui, but Qing Shui’s caves were stronger than the Battle God’s . On a scale, their strengths were somewhat equivalent, but Qing Shui’s tenth cave was a horrifying existence .

Roar!

Qing Shui summoned the Dragon Slaying Beast, Primordial Dragon Elephant, Dragon Spider, Dark Phoenix, Black Ice Divine Worm, Diamond White Tiger King, and Primordial Golden Bear .

Heaven Star Battle God summoned ten beasts . Those were two dragon-shaped beasts, two White Tigers, one Dragon Lion, one Exploding Crystal Ape King, three spider-type beasts, and one giant turtle .

Nine Palace Laws!

Qing Shui used his own domain ability which was similar to the opposition’s Scattered Star Chess Pieces .

Roar!

Roar… .

The battle erupted! Dragon Spider spread a giant net out . Qing Shui rapidly walked and used Sixth Mortal Step right where he was .

Heaven Star Battle God’s Heaven Star Sword was shining brightly . At the same time, the giant ancient turtle raised its head fiercely, its sinister head emitting a bitter aura . Immediately, it weirdly moved in front of Qing Shui . Its giant shell shone with an unadorned radiance, the patterns on its shell was shining brightly .

At this time, Qing Shui had already fired off Stellar Transposition .

Qing Shui could use Stellar Transposition once every five minutes . This was the second time Qing Shui had used it this battle .

As if the milky way was setting like the sun, Stellar Transposition was aimed at the majority of the opposition’s beasts . The result was a group of injuries . The one who was injured significantly was none other than the giant turtle that had taken the initiative to block Qing Shui’s attack .

Bang!

An attack that neglected defense . With its immense defense, Qing Shui was not certain if he could destroy the giant turtle’s shell, but he certainly heard a chain of shattering noises .

Its organs were shattered!

At this time, Heaven Star Battle God attacked with his sword while flying over with great speed . This sword strike was as swift as a flying meteor . It was as though the strike followed an orbit, giving it a feeling that it could not be defended nor dodged . It was a strange Heavenly Technique .

Meteor Smash!

Roar!

It was at this time that the Primordial Golden Bear pounced over with its glowing gold aura . A giant bear paw swiped against the glowing sword .

Ding!

Crisp metal contact noise could be heard loudly . The noise could crack metal and rocks . Near one’s ears, this sound was louder than an explosion . An invisible sound power and Origin Qi erupted to the surrounding area . An invisible wall of Origin Qi had blocked the eruption . If not for the wall, how many people would have been killed by the power eruption?

Heaven Star Battle God was emitting a light silver aura . He had been repelled by the Primordial Golden Bear .

The Primordial Golden Bear’s strength was tremendous . Grade Seven Nurture God Realm had given Primordial Golden Bear an explosive power . This was Qing Shui’s unrivaled Heavenly Technique . Primordial Golden Bear with 80% bloodline purity was one of the highest existences . Even some true dragon beasts were incomparable to the Primordial Golden Bear .

Mighty Dragon Elephant Stomp!

Deadly Poison!

Qing Shui’s beasts were battling without holding back . Heaven Star Battle God’s beasts were also displaying their own strengths . Qing Shui swiped his hand and the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines erupted .

Primordial Dragon Elephant had stunned the Exploding Crystal Ape King . Qing Shui did not waste this opportunity to trap the Exploding Crystal Ape King with his Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines .

With Qing Shui’s increase in strength, his Five Elements Divine Refining Technique also excelled greatly . This was especially true for his Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines . Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines had become one of Qing Shui’s strongest abilities . Once someone was trapped by the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines, it was near impossible to escape . It was the same for the Heaven Star Battle God . However, if the Heaven Star Battle God risked his life to escape, then maybe there was still a possibility .

Two dragon-shaped beasts were up against the Primordial Golden Bear .

Meanwhile, Heaven Star Battle God rushed toward Qing Shui .

Even though Qing Shui would not lose against the Heaven Star Battle God, he did not have enough battle prowess to gravely injure the Battle God .

He used Mortal Step over and over again .

Roar!

Heaven Star Battle God’s Heaven Star Sword’s aura dazzled as though it was a whirlwind rushing toward Qing Shui .

Heaven Star Meteor!

With the effect of Mortal Step, Qing Shui had sealed off Heaven Star Battle God’s terrifying attack . Qing Shui went unscathed by the attack .

Qing Shui had the Marrow Nibbling Golden Dragon Silkworm as his trump card, but he did not feel like using it just yet . Heaven Star Battle God had a trump card as well, but he also did not use it . It would seem the two had a tacit understanding .

After battling for a while, the beasts’ battle situation had changed .

Primordial Golden Bear had slaughtered the two dragon-type beasts . Dark Phoenix, Primordial Dragon Elephant, and Dragon Spider had been heavily injured . Qing Shui sent the three back into the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal .

Dragon Slaying Beast and Black Ice Divine Worm had killed off two other beasts . With one of the beasts trapped and the giant turtle that was holding onto its last breath, there were only four other beasts on the opposition’s side .

With Dragon Slaying Beast, Black Ice Divine Worm, Diamond White Tiger King, and Primordial Golden Bear by his side, Qing Shui had the upper hand now .

Qing Shui stepped once again . The battle must continue and become a test of stamina .

Yes!

Once Qing Shui reached the seventh step, he walked toward the Heaven Star Battle God to attack, taking a habitual extra step along the way .

He had already taken over a thousand attempts at the eighth step, but it had always ended up in failure . By the ‘eighth step’, he meant the Eighth Mortal Step .

However, this time, as though the stars all aligned and nature ran its course, a fierce power appeared within Qing Shui’s body .

Success! Eighth Mortal Step!

Qing Shui was finally able to successfully utilize the Eighth Mortal Step . In his hand was a Stellar Transposition, ready to use . The intricate and berserk strike was fired off with the buff of the Eighth Mortal Step . Heaven Star Battle God’s face changed, but he was smiling . His expression was that of calmness, not a single ounce of frantic was seen .
