Chapter 688: Eight-Trigram Versus Five-Element

Before the Black Dragon Spike got close to Taiyi Cave Master, the overwhelming murderous spirit arrived with a whistling sound!

A black shadow appeared in the distant western sky.

It was hard to imagine the force which threw the half-meter-long sword from thousands of meters away!

Taiyi Cave Master withdrew his right hand and slapped toward the weird-looking sword with a wave of white light in his palm.

Whoosh!

The Black Dragon Spike shot through hand palm, leaving a hole with four corners!

The intense murderous spirit brought a chill to Taiyi Cave Master.

“Anyone who messes with the nephew-in-law must die!” A magnificent voice came from the sky.

The voice contained overwhelming nature essence, and the ordinary students couldn’t hear the voice clearly; they felt like a rumble of thunder was sounding in the sky.

“Third Uncle!”

Feeling the acute pain in his chest and the burning nature essence in his body, Hao Ren looked toward the western sky in pleasant surprise.

The black shadow turned into a human form instantly and rushed to Hao Ren’s side in the blink of an eye.

In a ragged robe and with messy hair, Zhao Kuo’s face was black and dirty, making him look like a beggar, but his body released a magnificent presence!

With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Black Dragon Spike into his hand.

“You…” Surprised at the interruption, Taiyi Cave Master looked at Zhao Kuo in hatred and waved his hands, sending the eight dancing dragons toward Zhao Kuo.

The Heavenly Dragon Scroll was the ultimate technique of the metal-elemental dragons. It was said that the metal-elemental dragon cultivator who charged into the Heavenly Dragon Realm hundreds of years ago practiced this technique, which was why the technique’s name had been changed into Heavenly Dragon Scroll.

After reaching peak Qian-level hundreds of years ago, Taiyi Cave Master had begun to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Scroll and had reached level 9 which allowed him to release eight dancing dragons.

Due to his great power, the other peak Qian-level members in the Elders Council had to give way to him.

Afraid to kill Hao Ren and lose the Mystic Water Sword Techniques, he didn’t use his full force. But now, the eight dancing dragons unleashed their real strength!

Taiyi Cave Master would kill anyone who stood between him and the Mystic Water Sword Techniques!

“Brother!”

Standing at the entrance of the library, Zhao Guang yelled in surprise at the sudden sight of Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo had told Zhao Guang that he wouldn’t return until he reached peak Qian-level.

“Did he reach peak Qian-level already?”

“F*ck off!”

Zhao Kuo puffed his chest and roared in a fury.

He punched out repeatedly, using the fundamental boxing techniques of East Ocean!

The eight dancing dragons were knocked away by Zhao Kuo one by one!

The dragon cultivators were dumbfounded.

They had heard that the Third Lord of the East Ocean Dragon Clan was unrivaled, but they had never imagined that he could fight eight energy dragons with fists!

As the ultimate technique of the metal-elemental dragons, the Heavenly Dragon Scroll was the technique used by the grand cultivator who reached the Heavenly Dragon Realm. After all, it was challenging to release eight energy dragons in one breath, and the result was super powerful!

Hao Ren lay in the golden boat on his side while the natal nature essence in his body was trying hard to heal his injuries. He looked carefully and realized that Zhao Kuo wasn’t fighting with bare fists; five-colored lights were flowing around his fists!

Tempering one’s body with the five elements!

Zhao Kuo had tempered his body to an extreme degree with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll!

Hao Ren used the heavenly lightning bolts to temper his body, stimulating the meridians from the inside out, which was a form of inner cultivation. Zhao Kuo had tempered his body with the five elements, hardening his body from the outside in, which was a form of outer cultivation, perfect for his battle style!

Zhao Kuo could now battle level 8 demon beasts with bare fists, and his iron-like body was invincible to dharma treasures!

When he transferred the five-elemental nature essence to his arms, they were more powerful than regular dharma treasures!

While his thick arms swung around like windmills, the eight dancing dragons couldn’t get close to him!

The dragon cultivators watched the battle in amazement and excitement!

Meanwhile, Hao Ren took a closer look and found that Zhao Kuo had reached top-tier Qian-level!

Top-tier Qian-level, but peak Qian-level yet.

Boom!

Zhao Kuo punched out and sent one energy dragon to the side.

Dense sword energies shot from his body! There were tens of thousands of them!

In total, there were 20,480 sword energies!

Immediately, Taiyi Cave Master withdrew the eight dancing dragons, surprised that this cultivator who suddenly appeared was so difficult to deal with!

He didn’t know that Zhao Kuo had re-cultivated after failing the Heavenly Tribulation and had tempered his body with the five elements, which was to some extent similar to the demon beasts’ cultivation method.

Recently, he had practiced in the Demon Sea where no ordinary cultivators dared to enter, and he even defeated level 8 demon beasts!

If he could reach peak Qian-level, the level 8 demon beasts in the Demon Sea would suffer more in his hands!

However, he was able to survive in the Demon Sea since Lady Zhen had ordered the level 9 and level 10 demon beasts not to attack Zhao Kuo!

Since Zhao Kuo had battled his way out from the Demon Sea, why would he be afraid of Taiyi Cave Master who was at peak Qian-level?

Each of the level 8 demon beasts was equivalent to peak Qian-level!

The eight dancing dragons returned to Taiyi Cave Master, forming a circle of burning fire.

The fire was neither the ordinary flames nor the flames of the fire dragons; it was the Destruction True Flame created by the metal-elemental technique after reaching a high level.

They were white and almost transparent flames!

“Humph!” Zhao Kuo snorted, and his dark face turned fierce, pointing over 20,000 sword energies toward Taiyi Cave Master.

One followed Eight-Trigram while the other followed the Five-Element.

Which one would be the winner? The Heavenly Dragon Scroll or the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll?

The dragon cultivators standing at the entrance of the library held their breaths while the ordinary students looked up at the sky and saw surging clouds.

By the lake, Su Han looked at Zhao Kuo and Taiyi Cave Master who stood opposite to each other. Little White leaned on her thighs while it stared at the sky with its big watery eyes, seeming to feel the tension in the air.

Hua… Taiyi Cave Master attacked first, launching the eight dancing dragons with white flames toward Zhao Kuo. The eight energy dragons intertwined and turned into 64 dragons; eight trigrams changed into 64 hexagrams!

The dragon cultivators at the entrance of the library were astonished, not expecting Taiyi Cave Master to hide so much power!

“Break array!”

Zhao Kuo’s 20,480 sword energies formed a sword array, which was different from Hao Ren’s sword array since Zhao Kuo himself created it according to the art of war.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were five powerful troops!

The 20,480 sword energies engulfed the 64 dancing dragons, darkening the sky and blowing up the sand and rocks from the ground.

The wind blew the umbrellas from the hands of the students who were standing on the steps and broke dozens of small trees on the campus.

It was a battle happening in the high sky thousands of meters from the ground!

It was a fierce battle in which a sword array was fighting the dragons!

Both cultivators turned nature essence into tangible things with advanced cultivation techniques! They were battling using nature essence!

However, Zhao Kuo was only at top-tier Qian-level, a bit weaker than his opponent in terms of realm!

Bang! In the high sky, Taiyi Cave Master and Zhao Kuo both backed off hundreds of meters.

Taiyi Cave Master looked at Zhao Kuo in astonishment, not expecting the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to be so powerful!

Zhao Kuo was also surprised at this old man’s great power since he still couldn’t defeat his opponent after cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to such a high level!

The dragon kings and elders watching the battle were even more astonished when they saw Zhao Kuo being even with this metal-elemental dragon cultivator even though he was half a level lower than his rival!

“No wonder he was called the No.1 Master in the Mortal World!” they thought, “It was said that he had re-cultivated after failing in the Heaven Tribulation. However, was that fake news? How could he be at top-tier Qian-level after such a short amount of time? However, it was heard that he cultivated using a water-elemental technique before, but he is using all five elements now… Both the East Ocean Dragon King’s younger brother and son-in-law are cultivating this profound cultivation technique which requires great fortitude to reach the highest realm! If the two men work together, they can defeat a great army!”

While the dragon cultivators thought about that, Zhao Kuo and Taiyi Cave Master had resumed their battle in the high sky.

Just coming out of the Demon Sea, Zhao Kuo wanted to use this opportunity to test his strength, similar to how the golden shield used the vajra to test its power after its elevation in realms!

Withdrawing the nature essence, Zhao Kuo and Taiyi Cave Master fought in the sky with their bodies.

Wearing the grey jacket with several holes in it, Taiyi Cave Master was quick with his punches and kicks.

As a fierce fighter, Zhao Kuo’s fists and kicks were even more forceful.

Thud!

They landed on the big square before the library, and their landing force knocked away the ordinary students who were standing on the steps.

Their quick movements looked blurry, and the dragon cultivators on the small square couldn’t tell them apart. They could only see two shadows.

Taiyi Cave Master’s cultivation technique was powerful, and so were his close-range combat techniques! Besides, each of their punches and kicks was empowered with nature essence!

It wasn’t easy for Zhao Kuo who wanted to kill the old master with punches!

For the ordinary students, they saw two tornadoes sweeping across the big square, and the paving stones were shattered.

Recovering a bit from his injuries, Hao Ren landed on the ground as well, but he couldn’t do anything.

Besides, Zhao Kuo wouldn’t allow Hao Ren to help him!

Powerful! Standing on the small square before the library, the dragon cultivators exclaimed silently.

The metal-elemental dragon cultivator was powerful, and so was the cultivator of East Ocean!

Standing on the edge of the small square, Xu Ke watched for a while and then walked toward his dorm building silently. No matter what happened to his master, he would continue to stay in East Ocean University for a while.

Swoosh! When Zhao Kuo was punching forward, Taiyi Cave Master blocked Zhao Kuo’s fist while another supreme spiritual treasure flew out of his sleeve!
