Chapter 1527 - 779: The Last Straw
How could someone be so unlucky?
Imagine spending a lifetime of a regular person, sixty to seventy years in preparation, abandoning all-powerful strength, skills regarded as life, and pride, dedicating countless efforts, willing to fall into dust, playing games with fools.
Such lurking claws, enduring patience, overcoming countless hardships, crossing mountain after mountain, finally glimpsing a glimmer of light, just a step away from the final goal…
Suddenly someone comes out to tell you: Sorry, the event has been canceled, I was quite busy before, didn't get a chance to inform you, really sorry.
Alright, stop dawdling, pack up and go home.
Prize? Oh, the judges have already divided it among themselves, you wouldn't think you could get it, would you? Hahaha, this joke is so good, I must tell it to others later.
At this moment, even a stone-hearted person witnessing this scene might shed a couple of tears, right?
Yet Ji Jue can't stop laughing.
Right before him, that towering silhouette like a giant god finally appears… But unfortunately, it looks so pathetic.
Missing a leg, half a head.
Fragmented, incomplete, like a puzzle missing a large piece, a broken second-hand model, merely an empty shell.
No matter how magical and ingenious the original idea was, now it can only make one's mouth water.
Sometimes, even if the Divine Essence is off by a tiny bit at the crucial point, it's enough to ruin the final result, let alone Heavenly People's achievements!
What should have been the great creation achieved by the eternal fall of the Seven Cities turned into a flawed product, the craftsman who should have been promoted to Heavenly People is stuck halfway, failing at the final hurdle…
Sixty years of patience, enduring over and over, until finally, enduring no more.
Would have been better not to endure at all!
Look what you endured after all!
Crack—
A soft sound, the shutter noise quickly fading away.
"Sorry, habit."
Ji Jue awkwardly puts away his phone, sincerely apologizes: "Your case is truly classic, couldn't resist collecting some data, I'll definitely seek publication through the Association later, let everyone learn from You Sui as a lesson…"
Fernan glanced indifferently, unable to resist a mocking sigh.
Seemingly didn't notice the swiftly enlarging shadow overhead.
It's like covering up.
However, there is indeed some ability there.
Using the shutter sound to attract attention, secretly and silently hiding such a massive object, shifting it over his head.
Then… descending from the sky!
At that moment, he raised his palm without warning, towards the sky.
Five fingers spread open, aimed at the crashing Long Shan!
Boom!!!
The descending Long Shan abruptly stopped, suspended mid-air.
And Fernan's head then exploded amidst the great sound… in the shattered pupils remained astonishment and shock.
[Jing Zhen]!
Jing Zhen, exploding from the cranium!
It is the Fragment left by Cun Jun!
The Fragment that originally disappeared after the explosion, mysteriously and silently regrouped with the flow of spiritual essence, and ignited again!
Caught off guard, shaking the soul from the vital point, disrupting consciousness, making his perception involuntarily stagnate for a brief moment.
Amidst this, the Long Shan in mid-air already broke through its original constraints, with mass soaring again!
Within this several hundred meters distance, with mass rapidly ascending, truly transformed into a meteor, descending from the sky, the steel mechanical god's five fingers spread open, after nurturing for so long, the fierce light burst towards Fernan!
Zanlu!
Purple Lightning Black Flame converged, transforming into a four-edged rotating Thunder Fire Sword, pure light and heat brought pure Destruction, piercing downward.
Shutter sound, Long Shan, Jing Zhen afterwards…
This is the real ultimate kill!
A light sigh sounded.
Such pity.
The headless corpse actually reached out its hand under Jing Zhen's interference, spread fingers, slowly clenched.
Thus, the Invisible Light and Heat Thunder Fire Sword abruptly stopped.
As if tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
No, gripped by the whole world… or rather, the whole Seven Cities!
"Truly ever-changing."
A voice of admiration escaped Fernan's shell, resonating from the void all around.
Just above the shattered corpse, flesh reunited, bones grew, Fernan's visage reappeared.
Like a Puppet suspended by strings, lifelike.
Under invisible manipulation, through this mere carrier, he made a gesture of appreciation to the opponent before him: "No wonder the Embers are favored by Elder Anvil with their talent!
Talent is high regardless, just this mysterious and ingenious heart of trickery, truly astonishing.
Instead, I…"
Fernan sighed, ignoring the oncoming Cun Jun Sword that filled the sky, "Haven't handled anything with anyone for decades, indeed dull."
Boom!
When that hand was raised and snapped its fingers, a ripple spread from the fingertips, effortlessly erasing all the Cun Jun Swords completely.
Not even a trace or fragment was left behind.
It was as if they had never existed.
At that moment, Ji Jue felt an unprecedented chill.
Without thinking, he flashed back.
Nothing happened in the place where he originally stood.
No sounds were heard, no anomalies were seen,
But there was already a straight crack on his body... as if slashed by invisible blades, even the rebirth form reinforced by Earth bears the sea was cut down with withering force.
Like a hot knife through butter!
If he hesitated for a moment, he might have been shattered into pieces!
The Three Phases Flow turned, the cracks healed, and Ji Jue's mechanical body was swiftly repaired, but his body twitched like it was electrocuted, constantly turning, dodging the invisible blades.
The sound of shattering continued to ring out.
Hands, heart, legs, head... cracks appeared and closed rapidly, as if he was being attacked by countless invisible opponents.
There was nothing in front of him, not a single trace or sign of the refining process.
Yet, in the reflection of the Hanging Elephant Mirror, dazzling flashes burst forth one after another, crisscrossing and locking him in.
In the supposed void, it was already filled with invisible blades... the reason he couldn't detect or defend against them was because the process was too fast!
From targeting, locking, refining to causing damage, the whole process happened so quickly that even his thoughts couldn't keep up.
If it weren't for the Wolf's malicious perception and nerve reflexes, Ji Jue would have already been shattered into thousands of pieces...
And this was just Fernan's casual counterattack.
One hand dealing with the fierce attack of the Dragon Mountain Giant and the Light and Heat Sword, while the other casually pointed, multitasking without a hitch, relentlessly pressing Ji Jue to the edge of a cliff.
Effortlessly!
Unlike the impostor monkey before, this was the master who had made his name in the Association sixty or seventy years ago, daring to contest for the crown with the Plowsmith during the rising period!
No matter how quickly he thought or responded, Ji Jue still felt a delayed suffocation.
Eventually, the day had come, and it was his turn...
This was an unmistakable, higher rank suppression!
It's not just about rank, nor only talent and ability, but also experience and mastery... all steadily outweighing Ji Jue at this moment!
No way around it, the suppression from Ember's line is just that ridiculous.
Even a slight difference in accumulation shows outside as a world of difference, sometimes even just a slight lead already feels like an unbridgeable chasm!
Craving success within the Association, battling life and death in You Sui, becoming Elder Anvil's direct disciple, lurking in the Seven Cities, enduring until the breaking point of today.
Talent, ability, temperament, almost perfect.
What's more, there's the blessing of the entire Seven Cities now...
Even if obstructed by Ji Jue, even without complete success, years of patience still garnered returns more than tenfold or a hundredfold.
Not only was he able to effortlessly regain his full strength, but he also relentlessly approached the Heavenly Human Domain, even faintly touching the Divine Essence...
Right now, Fernan was at the highest peak of his life!
Stronger than ever before!
Boom!!!
Feeling this endlessly ascending power, his heart felt no joy at all, but rather an increasingly uncontainable rage.
In his perception, Luo Island and Xiang State were still drifting outside.
Even resisting the Lighthouse's call, no matter how the Flame of Decay corroded...
After such long patience, what should have been a one-time success turned into something like a fleeting experience card, watching the situation fall to ruin, this bestowed enhancement was, after all, limited.
Unable to carry him over the final peak.
No matter how close it was!
A single rat spoils a pot of soup...
Emotionlessly flicking his finger, pressing down the Six Vibrations of the Great Momentum with a light touch, the ubiquitous dim light devoured the Golden Body, and with a flick, causing the Golden Body left by Badanta to be covered in cracks, losing responsiveness completely.
Another flick, the curtain shook, the mandala crumbled!
A multitude of Spirits of Creation incinerated into ashes by the Flame of Decay, unable to react.
The newly risen thick fog dissipated in an instant.
Yet Ji Jue, once again, narrowly escaped a shattering doom... like a slippery eel.
Despite being suppressed from start to finish, he somehow couldn't be decisively and utterly crushed!
Almost seemed like he had rich experience.
Could it not be rich?!
No matter who, being hammered by a teacher like Ye Xian in leisure, over time would surely learn some lessons, gain some experience, especially Ji Jue.
With Cun Jun's accelerated perception, the malicious perception and nerve reflexes of a Wolf, a constantly upgrading steel body... perception, reaction, and evasion, all maxed out!
Since debut to now, he hasn't had many favorable battles, apocalyptic openings have almost become routine. Developed anticompression skills in countless disadvantageous battles, enough to let him dance gracefully on the blade tip, clinging to life.
Moreover, with the fully defensive Giant Que as a shield. Basically, it's an indestructible, unbreakable, unshakable shell.
Sorry, we hang on, it's just the way it is!
