Chapter 1687: Chapter 1687: Marko And Mateo

The Wishing Spell was quite a powerful technique. In fact, when it was used, it could greatly increase the strength of its user in a very short period of time.

This technique had a catch, though. The users were condemned to fulfilling the wishes they had made, otherwise they would never advance in their cultivation.

Under normal circumstances, no one dared use the Wishing Spell unless it was a life and death situation. A battle to the death. Once Zen used this skill, he would have no choice but to kill Pranav, a True God!

Upon Pranav's arrival here, Zen had chopped off his arm with the Great Weighty Sword. Although this made Pranav extremely furious, he didn't have the time or the opportunity to revenge himself on Zen at the time.

However, at the crucial moment when Pranav had reached his limit and was about to go all out to deal with Wynn, Zen suddenly reappeared at his side and interrupted him.

What sent Pranav into a spiraling disarray of emotion was that this basic fellow actually knew how to use the Wishing Spell.

He knew that Zen was a Godly Genius, and the Wishing Spell was a Godly Way that nearly everyone in the divine land would have the chance to learn. However, the Godly Geniuses in this universe rarely came across such an opportunity. Zen had surpassed what was expected of him.

There were no words to describe how Pranav was feeling right now.

“It's you! Again, you brat! Get out of my face!”

Pranav shouted, as he thrust out a hand in an attempt to slap Zen away. He really didn't have the time right now to bother with him.

On Zen's behalf though, now that he had activated the Wishing Spell, he was entering a wondrous, dazzling state of mind.

It was as if everything else in the entire world was left behind, leaving him to concentrate on Pranav alone. At the same time, an invisible force entered his body and he felt it tingling every one of his senses. The power seemed to be coming from some sort of contract.

Zen had experienced the wonders of the Wishing Spell once before, directly after he had first mastered this Godly Way.

Back then, he had used the Wishing Spell on an ordinary beast. After he had activated it, he near immediately felt a miraculous change that greatly improved his physical body, strength, and even psychic force.

What Zen didn't know though, was that this power wasn't obtained from anywhere else at all, but was given to him instead... by himself!

After he made the wish, he believed that he would have the power to fulfill the latter, and thus, he possessed that power. In other words, it was his own personal faith and belief that generated such power.

This power though, could only be used against the one specific target. If he gave up on killing that said beast and changed his target, he would instantly return to his normal state and he'd lose the additional power. Once Zen had successfully killed that beast and fulfilled the wish, the wonderful feeling disappeared and the world returned to its regular order.

This time, he was using the Wishing Spell skill on Pranav. The same feeling was now bubbling up inside him.

Through his eyes, everything else in the world had completely vanished, leaving only Pranav. His focus became pristine.

Whoosh!

His reaction had become several times faster than even Zen himself had expected.

Generally speaking, there would have been no way to dodge Pranav's slap, but now, with nothing but a slight twist of his body, Zen avoided it with ease. Ṙᴀ𐌽o͍₿Ęṣ

“Gods-intimidating Strike!”

As all the distracting thoughts in Zen's mind vanished, his Gods-intimidating Strike became sharper, and with purer power.

Pranav had previously been victim of Zen's sword attack and paid the price of an arm. He knew that this world lord's cultivation level was inferior to his, but despite this, he didn't dare take a second sword attack head on. He was taking this battle very seriously. If he didn't, high chances were that he'd be killed by Zen.

Without any other option, Pranav gritted his teeth in resentment and pulled out one of the five small swords in hopes that he'd be capable of blocking Zen's attack.

Originally, his plan was to use the five small swords in order to kill Wynn. With the five small swords, he could form a Five-element Divine Sword, which was incredibly powerful. Pranav was certain that this was more than enough to kill Wynn, but using the skill would require the five swords to complement each other.

But because he'd had to separate one of the small swords in order to block Zen's attack, it was no longer possible to summon the Five-element Divine Sword.

Several clanging sounds could be heard.

The small sword, which looked to be as light as a feather, collided with Zen's Great Weighty Sword, but didn't waver in the slightest.

Instead, it moved smoothly, almost like a nimble flying snake, as it continuously swerved in the air, trying to find an opportunity to close in and kill Zen.

Despite its relentless precision, Zen's reaction and flying speed had also greatly increased. Furthermore, having activated the ultimate sword intent from the Great Weighty Sword, he protected himself perfectly. The power he infused into the Great Weighty Sword was extremely strong, and every time it collided with the small sword, it would send the small sword flying quite a distance away.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Pranav had initially planned to end Zen's life within three seconds so that he could then use his full strength to kill Wynn.

But once again, Zen had displayed a strength that far exceeded Pranav's expectations, forcing him to deviate from his devise.

It didn't take long before a full thirty seconds had passed and Zen was still vigorously waving the Great Weighty Sword in his hand. Zen was trying to turn the tables... if only he could find a flaw in Pranav's attack!

Thanks to Zen's valiant effort, Wynn suddenly found himself with a grace period in front of him. He used this time wisely and managed to get himself free.

At first, Wynn had underestimated Pranav's strength. They were both low-rank True Gods, but Wynn's cultivation level was slightly higher than that of Pranav. Logically, he should have prevailed in a battle against Pranav.

The situation took an immediate turn when Pranav suddenly used the Five-element Energy Seal, though.

The Five-element Energy Seal was one of the many mysterious skills of the Five Elements Godly Way. Although there were many True Gods who had learned the Five Elements Godly Way, only a small portion of them were actually capable and competent enough to unleash the Five-element Energy Seal. This was because the skill had special requirements on the user's physique.

Once Wynn had been sealed by the Five-element Energy Seal, he was suddenly overwhelmed with anxiety and struggled aimlessly to break free.

On the other hand though, he also understood that his mistake might actually bring an end to the battle between these two True Gods. There would have been enough time for Pranav to kill Wynn ten times over before he could escape from the Five-element Energy Seal.

That was when Zen had miraculously appeared at his side anew and used the Wishing Spell to hold Pranav back.

Moved with surprise, Wynn seized the moment to break free from the seal.

Thirty seconds might only be enough time for a mortal to drink a glass of water but for Wynn, this was more than enough to save his own life.

With a flick of his hand, five rays of starlight shot out, one from each finger and his thumb.

Although he wasn't the most proficient in the Five Elements Godly Way, he had cultivated the Grand Sealing Technique. The Five-element Energy Seal was only achieved through the interpromoting relation in the five elements. If Wynn wanted to break this Five-element Energy Seal, he would have to do just the opposite and utilize the restricting relation of the five elements.

The five streaks of starlight that had shot out in succession from his hand were of different colors. They each respectively contained the power of Metal Law, the power of Wood Law, the power of Water Law, the power of Fire Law and the power of Earth Law.

The five elements' powers in Pranav's five eyeballs generated with each other, while the five elements' powers in Wynn's five stars restricted each other. The five eyeballs rotated clockwise, while the five stars rotated counter-clockwise.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As the five stars spun simultaneously and approached, they ultimately collided directly with the five eyeballs.

Metal produced water and fire melted metal, thus the Fire Law star collided with the Metal Law eyeball.

Water nourished wood and earth absorbed water, thus the Earth Law star collided with the Water Law eyeball.

Wood fed fire and metal chopped wood, thus the Metal Law star collided with Wood Law eyeball.

With his clever use of the mutual promotion and restraint between the five elements, Wynn successfully disengaged the Five-element Energy Seal. It only took him twenty-seven seconds to unravel the seal. During this time though, Pranav still had control over the small sword, the one he was wielding at Zen.

When Pranav noticed something was wrong, he lifted his eyes only to see that Wynn had already managed to break free. Immediately, he flung into an uncontrollable rage.

Suddenly, he couldn't care about Wynn anymore. Instead, he shouted loudly, “Marko! Mateo! Come out right now and take care of the old geezer for me! I'm going to chop this brat into thousands of bloody little pieces!” At the end of his declaration, he slapped his own chest in indignation. A crisp sound rang out as he shattered a jade plate that was used for summoning.

Pranav's patience with Zen had finally reached its limit. Originally, he had planned to kill Wynn by himself, because he wanted to get all the credit and prove to his master that he was strong. Now though, things had changed. He was so angry, so livid, that he only had one thought in his mind: to shred Zen apart.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following his first order, he immediately called for the four small swords to turn around and slash toward Zen as well.

Previously, Pranav had held Zen to a draw with only a single small sword. Now that the other four swords had equally circled over, Zen immediately felt the increased pressure. After all, the Five-element Divine Sword formed by the five small swords could really be used to kill a True God!

With just a single round of attacks from the five small swords, Zen was already in great danger. His Great Weighty Sword was scarred by the Five-element Divine Sword and many bloody wounds instantly appeared all over his body. Had his body been any less strong and resistant, he would have already been torn to shreds.

Wynn had successfully struggled his way out of the Five-element Energy Seal and therefore, there was no way he was just going to stand by and watch Zen die.

Just as he was about to take action in assisting Zen though, two new figures enveloped in incandescent light suddenly appeared before him, completely out of the blue. As the incandescent light slowly faded, two individuals with careless smiles on their faces were revealed. One of them looked Wynn up and down, while the other mocked Pranav, “Hey, Pranav, didn't you say that you could handle it all by yourself? Tell us, why have we been summoned, then?” one of the newcomers was asking, chuckling ironically.

These two individuals were known as Marko and Mateo. They were the other two True Gods that came from the Murphy Universe. Just like Pranav, they were also Holy Murphy's disciples. With three True Gods standing against them now, how could Zen and his companions ever hope to win this war?
