Chapter 636: Chapter 636

He was pleasantly surprised, feeling for the first time that Ji Jingqiu was not as strong as he had imagined, as weaknesses still remained in his Divine Skills!

But when he looked at Ji Jingqiu, his mood instantly plummeted to the depths of a valley.

Ji Jingqiu was still standing in the same spot as if the scene from just before was merely an illusion of his.

He nodded slightly: "My apologies, I was a bit distracted just now and pushed out a palm on impulse."

The area fell silent in an instant. Using an incomplete Divine Skill against an opponent? In battle, this often leads to the opponent seizing upon the flaw and defeating you in one move.

The surrounding Martial Artists marveled in secret.

It was well-known that Ji Jingqiu had visited over twenty martial arts veins for Dao Asking, always playing defense and not offense, typically ending the fight with just a few moves. Yet some people still said he was too gentle and indulgent; it was utterly nonsensical...

Having seen it today, it is clear that his modesty is just superficial; pride is his true nature.

But the issue is... Everyone secretly admires him, feeling no aversion to his words and actions at all.

If one feigns civility towards you, what more could you want? Pride should be the norm!

If we ourselves had achieved so much at seventeen, what would the Seven Marshals amount to?

Of course, everyone was now putting themselves in his shoes, wisely keeping silent, for fear that... no, it was for fear that Qing Gu would feel embarrassed and have nowhere to hide.

Someone couldn’t help but whispered softly: "The marvel of a Martial Artist is sometimes the cruelty inflicted upon his opponent."

Even Tianqingzi’s side fell silent.

It wasn’t that Qing Gu was weak but that the enemy was too strong, completely overwhelming Qing Gu with Unity of Heaven and Man. Even though Qing Gu had displayed his Heart Appearance Domain, he still failed to wrest away control of the Power of Heaven and Earth from this young man, his spirit and momentum completely suppressed.

In the struggle between the strong, the spirit and momentum are of paramount importance.

Ji Jingqiu looked towards Qing Gu, shaking his head, "If this is all you can muster, then it’s far from enough to test my own mettle. Is it that your training is lacking, or has your lineage reached its limit?"

Upon hearing this, the color drained from the faces of those around.

"I feel like... Ji today is unusually confrontational. It’s out of character for him. Hmm, it must be the other party’s fault."

"The intensity is being ramped up, huh? How could one bear this?"

Some people looked forward eagerly, wanting to see what other trump cards the opponent hadn’t played yet, to further push Ji Jingqiu to his limit.

Qing Gu’s expression darkened, his fists clenched tightly. Even though his spirit was still flickering, he forced himself to suppress it at this moment.

His aura dramatically changed, and behind him appeared a dark and chaotic Dharma Body adorned with a heavenly crown. Its presence was lofty and majestic as it burst forth, causing the winds and clouds of Heaven and Earth to respond as it immediately became the sovereign of Heaven and Earth, the core of the world!

"This Dharma Body... Black and White Mountain’s [Mixed Element Reversing Void Dharma Body]?!"

"Black and White Mountain? Sounds familiar... Ah, yes, I’ve heard it mentioned in the Ancestor Master’s travelogues. Isn’t it one of the Ten Directions Sects, Black and White Mountain?!"

The Federation Martial Artists’ expressions shifted drastically.

For a Martial Artist’s Dharma Body, there are two paths: one is to use oneself as the model for the "Dharma," and the other is to use a stronger figure as the model for the "Dharma."

Neither path is superior to the other; in the Federation Martial Arts, most follow the former, and the rare few who follow the latter base it on the models of their sect’s Ancestor Masters.

Using a strong figure as the model for the "Dharma Body" often leads to faster progress early on and access to more powerful strength, as there is something to refer to and one can simply follow the model. However, further breakthroughs face limitations and require one to find their own path to advance.

Someone frowned, puzzled why a warrior from the Three Thousand Yama would brazenly appear at the Ke family’s event.

A vast and desolate Qi began to seep through.

Within several miles, everything instantly appeared to freeze; the air became stagnant and was plunged into a dichotomous world of black and white.

Black and white interwoven, indistinct as Yin and Yang, as if the turbulent and clear Qis were merging again, reenacting the scene of Heaven and Earth’s initial division, eventually blending into a faint fog of chaos.

The Void faced Silent Annihilation, not collapsing or shattering, but as all things returned to the most Origin form of the forces of earth, fire, wind, and water, becoming wisps of chaotic mist.

[Mixed Element Returning Void]!

If it were not for a Heavenly Person already watching over this place, stabilizing the Dharma around it, perhaps the surrounding area would have reverted back to the primordial chaos of Heaven and Earth Creation, with everything transforming into chaos.

Qing Gu roared, black hair flying, his fist hammered down with the chaotic mist following, blurring everything around, all returning to the Origin of chaos!

This was the pinnacle of his Black and White Mountain’s legacy, nearly stepping into the ultimate threshold!

The Dharma Body behind Qing Gu also threw down a punch, covering the entire bamboo forest soiree, leaving Ji Jingqiu no chance to escape!

Ji Jingqiu became serious. His opponent’s Divine Skill actually went against the grain of Heaven and Earth Creation, reenacting the chaotic state of undifferentiated earth, fire, wind, and water; it was unprecedented.

This person was average in all aspects, only marginally better than the other Martial Vein Talents he had faced, but the legacy he practiced was astonishing, reaching for the lofty.

Black and White Mountain...

He would remember this name.

Ji Jingqiu reached out and grabbed Qingzhu’s Knife Handle, pulling the blade and advancing.

As the knife sang loudly, a brilliant slice of light cut through the dull chaos like the first ray of light in the world, splitting it open.

With the knife falling, Silent Annihilation followed, directly detonating this realm of chaos.

In a moment, motion and stillness divided, clear Qi rising, turbid Qi sinking, almost as if Heaven and Earth were opening anew.

"Is this ’A sliver of hope’? This blade, compared to a year ago, is completely transformed. This young man has truly unparalleled comprehension!"

In the crowd, someone’s pupils constricted like the point of a needle, comparing this blade strike to the already astounding one from over a year ago, and finding it had improved even more!

Qing Gu only felt a sudden bright light before his eyes, as if at the beginning of the cosmos’ creation, earth, fire, wind, and water exploded all at once!
