Chapter 585 — The One Who Saw Through the Truth
The Beast-Taming Craftsman Page 2 of 5
It could be said that this move was the strongest secret art within Shijin's team today.
At this moment, even mid-tier gods who sensed this sword felt a secret shock in their hearts.
"That single sword strike could annihilate me in an instant. I have no way to resist it!" Kane spoke, unable to accept it. If his opponent had been Chitong, under this sword formation, it would have had absolutely no chance of survival.
"No living being could be this strong." The Demon Emperor's son, having realized the true gap between himself and Chitong, also could not accept it.
"As expected, I knew it. This Chitong definitely has a hidden card, and a terrifying one at that. With this move, no matter how powerful Eleven's physique is, it has absolutely no way to resist..." The exquisitely wondrous Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was like a work of art, intoxicating countless spectators.
People could not imagine what means, below the Divine Realm, could possibly block this move.
"Go..." At Chitong's command, the air hummed and vibrated, the void was pierced, and streams of incomparably terrifying mixed sword intent burst forth from the four immortal swords. The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation directly entrapped and assailed Eleven!
Chitong's gaze burned bright. By all reason, she absolutely could not withstand this move, but fortunately, it had a scapegoat!
The Vermilion Bird clone!
With a Vermilion Bird clone bolstered by faith power as a scapegoat, she could unleash the might of this ultimate secret art to its maximum!
"Yii!!" Facing the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, Eleven did not dare be careless either. Its expression was grave. It knew Chitong would use this move, but if Chitong thought this would be enough to defeat it, she was gravely mistaken!!
The spectators looked toward Eleven. Kane, who had crossed blades with Eleven, and Minggu, who had indirectly fought Eleven through the crystal Kane had given it, both did not believe Eleven could withstand this move. Even if Eleven erupted into that strongest state, it would probably only barely hold out, unable to sustain it.
Judging from Chitong's composed state now, Eleven was in peril!
Yet just when everyone had judged this move unstoppable, Eleven stood in place, letting the myriad sword lights fall, without the slightest intention of blocking or dodging.
Though it seemed there was no dodging it anyway, was it truly just going to stand there unmoved??
No!
Just when people thought Eleven was about to give up resisting, they saw Eleven's eyes blaze with battle intent, and eight figures appeared in every direction around it!!!
Doudou Bear, save me!
The Eight Trigrams clones, each wielding the rule power of Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Marsh, burst forth with a thunderous roar!
Eight iron-eating beasts appeared, clad in armor of different colors and styles, stunning the spectators for a moment. The next instant, these clones took up positions around Eleven, combining into the Taiji Eight Trigrams Formation!!
Weng!!
Countless sword lights descended. Beneath Eleven's feet appeared the yin-yang Taiji diagram, and a hemispherical Eight Trigrams rule barrier directly enveloped the nine iron-eating beasts. The sword lights fell upon it like stones sinking into the sea, stirring not the slightest ripple.
"Yii~" Eleven stood at the center of the Eight Trigrams Formation, arms folded across its chest, gazing straight at the Divine Chitong!
Come on!
Let's hurt each other!!
Like you're the only one with a hidden card.
"Damn it." In the sky, Chitong could not help but curse.
Eight Trigrams clones!
The reason Eleven was confident in opposing Chitong's ultimate move was precisely the Eight Trigrams clones. The now fully-maxed Eight Trigrams clones had a multitude of functions; forming a defensive legion skill was no problem at all.
Before the God-Sealing War, Eleven had already, much like it had done with Doudou Bear, condensed eight Eight Trigrams clones in peak condition, awaiting powerful foes.
Still, Eleven felt aggrieved. The Eight Trigrams clones were like Ginseng Baby's Time Imprint—extremely time-consuming to condense. Though they could be condensed in advance, if they were destroyed in battle, within a short period it could still condense a second batch, but they would absolutely not be as strong as the current batch.
Every one of the current Eight Trigrams clones possessed several tenths of its strength, each having been reinforced for a long time for this very battle.
But newly condensed ones would not do.
So if this batch of clones were expended, it would likewise suffer a massive drop in combat power, just like Ginseng Baby and Kane after losing their Time Imprints.
But now, facing Chitong, this move could no longer be hidden...
Taiji Eight Trigrams Formation VS Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!!!
The two peerless formations collided!!
Boom!!
Space twisted, the world shattered.
Every spectator stared blankly at Eleven and Chitong, especially Kane, whose body trembled continuously as he watched Eleven commanding the Eight Trigrams clones...
This move...
A top-tier clone legion divine skill...
"When it fought me, it wasn't using its full strength at all..." Kane was beside himself, watching the battle footage in disbelief. It had originally thought it had pushed Eleven to its limit, to its strongest state.
Yet the opponent had actually still been hiding such a hidden card!!
The spectators realized they had, once again, misjudged!!
Not only had Chitong concealed a peerless hidden card, but Eleven had done the same—and its hidden card was quite shocking, incomparably powerful. Those eight armored iron-eating beasts whose auras were not much inferior to Eleven's gave everyone an equally terrifying impression. Each clone, it seemed, could rank in the top ten of the God-Sealing War!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!
Under the ceaseless collisions of the two great divine formations, the spectators felt as though the entire world had caved in. After the sky-and-earth-shrouding darkness, they had no idea how long it lasted. When the people came back to their senses, the Eight Trigrams Formation had vanished, and every one of the Eight Trigrams clones was half-kneeling on the ground, as if all life had drained out of them.
And in the sky, the Death Sword Princess Chitong wore an expression of unwillingness as the Four Immortal Swords shattered with a thunderous crash.
Clearly, both the Vermilion Bird clone and her own body had surpassed their limits and reached the breaking point.
She looked at Shiyi, who stood atop the Taiji Diagram, his condition not much better than the Doudou Bears' yet far better than hers, his eyes still brimming with fighting spirit. Reluctantly, resentfully, she let her eyes drift half-closed and fell from the sky.
"You win..."
Before she even hit the ground, Chitong was teleported out of the arena. Watching her concede, and seeing the Eight Trigrams clones vanish, Shiyi threw back his head and roared in excitement!!!
"ROAR!!! (I am the Panda King!!)" He had, for all the world, been possessed by Xiaoji and Yaya.
But soon his face fell into a bitter grimace. He had beaten Chitong, yes, but the Eight Trigrams clones were gone. He could only hope that Shenwang and the Ginseng Babies had likewise burned through one another's trump cards—otherwise, his claim to the championship was truly in peril!
The match is over!
Shiyi wins!
This result—some had guessed it—but the process left everyone utterly shaken, beyond anything they had foreseen.
This one match had, once again, shown the crowd what "immortals brawling" really meant!!!
"I don't understand..."
"Terrifying, absolutely terrifying... Chitong's move was that monstrous, and she still lost??"
"What kind of monster is this Shiyi?!"
"Is this the strength of the first and second rookies??"
