God Emperor

Chapter 781: Birth of Heaven and Earth

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The power of the Rosefinch Sword was extraordinary, as it was the heirloom treasure of Four Symbols Sect.

A rosefinch was conjured on the edge of the sword as Shao Lin wielded it, a deadly power everyone was afraid of. Yet that was only a fraction of its power.

“Extreme Yang Nine Overlapping Mountains!”

Gai Tianjiao stood firmly like a tower with no fear in her. Flows of Yang Qi were channeled from her body and projected into the image of an Innate Extreme Yang Body.

Thunder struck and the earth shook.

Tongues of fire rose from the surface of the ground and formed into nine mountains, layering upon each other in front of Gai Tianjiao. Her body was radiating a powerful aura.

The flaming mountains were made of flares and neither one of them was an actual mountain.

Yet the defense power was comparable to an actual mountain. The forces the nine mountains exerted could destroy a city with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, trapping everyone underneath.

“These are but illusions. Do you really think this can stop the Rosefinch Sword?”

Shao Lin gave a cold laugh and extended his fingers into a sword sign. Rosefinch Sword moved along with his sign and greater power was unleashed.

Bang!

The sound of a series of blasts was heard. The power of Rosefinch Sword was so strong that it penetrated through six layers of the flaming mountains, getting closer and closer to Gai Tianjiao.

Gai Tianjiao’s face turned serious. She held up her hand into the air and snapped – a deep purple divine sword flew to her hand.

“The Cloud Breaking Sword.”

Both her hands on the hilt, she swung the sword in a circular motion, creating a whirling vortex from the edge of the blade. Magical energy spiraled along with the vortex, unleashing a storm of swords.

Bang!

The deep purple divine sword transformed into beams of light and ripped through the center of the vortex.

Cloud Breaking Sword is a technique originating from Superior-class Ghost Level. Gai Tianjiao spent a year learning to finally master this technique.

The combined strength of Cloud Breaking Sword and Extreme Yang Nine Overlapping Mountains left all present half saints in awe.

“I’m surprised that you have mastered this technique to such a skillful level despite your failure in mastering Sword Two. I have indeed underestimated you.”

Shao Lin squinted his eyes, and his face darkened as he swung the sword into the moves of Seven Star Diversion. Gripping firmly on the hilt, he yelled, “Sword Two!”

The conjured rosefinch split in half and darted in two different directions, forming a huge circle which then engulfed Gai Tianjiao and the rest of the flaming mountains.

The Sword Two technique that he performed was at its third level – Division of Yin and Yang.

The two swords met. A deafening explosion immediately erupted.

The deep purple divine sword Gai Tianjiao used was powerless against Rosefinch Sword. A crack was seen on the surface of the deep purple divine sword, and soon enough it expanded to the entire surface.

The next second, the divine sword was shattered into pieces.

Shao Lin got excited and gave out hysterical laugh. He drew his Rosefinch Sword and darted towards Gai Tianjiao. The sword pierced through Gai Tianjiao’s chest and out her back.

At the last moment, Gai Tianjiao used her remaining strength to channel her Holy Qi and pushed her palms forward. Pieces of the shattered sword dashed toward Shao Lin, cutting him slightly as pieces slashed through his flesh.

Standing straight up against her chest, Gai Tianjiao moaned slightly in pain, blood welling out from her mouth.

Following that, the projection of Extreme Yang Nine Overlapping Mountains vanished into thin air.

Shao Lin had never thought that he’d defeat Gai Tianjiao someday. He started laughing, a brittle sound edged with hysteria. “Hah! Gai Tianjiao! You did not expect your defeat, did you?” He sneered.

Soon after, Shao Lin waved his sword swiftly and the energy surrounding the sword threw Gai Tianjiao even further.

Bump! ????????????re????d. ????????????

Gai Tianjiao was hurled a short distance away and fell onto the ground. She covered the wound in her chest with one hand, and raised herself up from the ground with the other. Blood was dripping from the side of her mouth onto the rock on the ground.

While her defeat was unexpected, it was not impossible.

Ordinary divine swords were no match for Rosefinch Sword. It was rather remarkable for Gai Tianjiao to harm Shao Lin, although she was at a disadvantage.

“The Rosefinch Sword is impressive...even Extreme Yang Nine Overlapping Mountains was no match for it,” Ouyang Huan commented.

Xue Wuye, who was standing close to Ouyang Huan smiled in reply. “Shao Lin is equipped with Rosefinch Sword and this has increased his combat power. Similarly, Gai Tianjiao must have a trump card. It is too early to judge who the winner is now.”

“Is it?”

Ouyang Huan shifted his attention back to the square.

“Big Sister, are you alright?”

Gai Hao rushed over to Gai Tianjiao’s side, gazing upon her with eyes drawn in worry.

Gai Tianjiao pushed him away. Bearing the pain, she stood back up and this time her fighting spirit was even stronger than before. “Traitor, you are not qualified to kill me. Not yet.”

She crossed her arms. Blood started flowing rapidly throughout her body healing the puncture wound in her chest and, within a short while, new skin was regenerated, leaving a mere scar.

Innate Extreme Yang Body was one of the best body mechanisms. It was ten times greater than saint body in terms of defense, attack and recovery.

Shao Lin asked, with a cold laugh, “Gai Tianjiao, you are severely injured...are you sure you want to continue to fight? The result is going to be the same anyways.”

“Even if I die, I will take you to hell with me.”

Gai Tianjiao channeled her Holy Qi once again. A luminous ball of energy was blazing between her palms, shining brightly in all direction. Its ray was more piercing than a sword.

In that instant, the glare from that energy ball hurt everyone’s eyes.

“That technique ... is that the ultimate sword technique called Birth of Heaven and Earth from the Medieval times?” asked one of the saints from Yin and Yang Sect, looking surprised.

The Birth of Heaven and Earth was a saint spell which could turn Holy Qi into sword energy and explode in an instant, thus ending the lives of the opponent or anyone in front of the practitioner.

The catch was that this technique was too powerful to control and might kill its practitioner.

No one expected her to have learned this lost technique of ancient times. Was she really going to die together with Shao Lin?

“Crazy woman, she’s gone too far!”

Although Shao Lin had the Rosefinch Sword, he could sense the imminent threat of death as his face turned pale. He was really afraid and stepped backward, wanting to run away far and fast.

“Tianjiao! Stop!”

Moon-Burier Sword Saint appeared at the back of Gai Tianjiao. He held out his hand to grab the luminous ball and overlay it with a huge coat of Holy Qi.

With a loud bang, the ball exploded in his hand and flowed through the gaps between his fingers as air current.

Gai Tianjiao had drained her Holy Qi, and her body was so weak that she fell to her knees. She looked extremely pale and kept panting, “Master...why did you stop me? I should have ... killed the traitor.”

Moon-Burier Sword Saint let out a sigh and shook his head. “We may lose our succession right over Sword Pavilion, but we can always fight for it again in a century. Why bother for a traitor?”

Then, Moon-Burier Sword Saint handed a recovery pill over to Gai Tianjiao and brought her out of the square.

This incident had truly surprised many. Had Moon-Burier Sword Saint not stopped it, the two heirs could have been dead by now.

Of course, the public knew one thing for sure – not to go against Gai Tianjiao. She might use the secret technique, The Birth of Heaven and Earth, to end one’s life. No matter how strong you were or how powerful your weapon was, no one could defeat that.

Shao Lin took a deep breath. The fear had slowly faded away and he laughed. “Is that it for Innate Extreme Yang Body? I am so disappointed.”

After hearing his words, all the monks from Yin and Yang Sect were very angry.

Xun Hualiu gave him a cold snort and said in criticism, “Without your sword, you wouldn’t be able to defeat her.”

Mu Jiji burst out laughing, “Who was the one running off like a coward? Did you really think you are that great, Kunlun’s Heir?”

Xun Huali and Mu Jiji both had reputations for being blunt people.

Shao Lin’s face darkened. He stared right back at them and asked, “Since you both have a lot of opinions, would you care to have a sword fight?”

Shao Lin’s cultivation was very deep and strong. He widened his gaze at them, and the next second, the gaze turned into sword energy, dashing to the forehead of Xun Huali and Mu Jiji.

After going through a series of mentorship and guidance from Blackie in Sword Pavilion, Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji both had improved tremendously, and they were already at the Fourth Change of Fish-Dragon Realm..

They pushed their palms forward to release Body-Protecting Holy Kang, defending themselves against Shao Lin’s sword energy.

Xun Hualiu was quite surprised that he had to take nine steps backwards to defuse his sword energy completely. Shao Lin’s cultivation was really powerful. He could have killed monks of the First or Second Change with mere eye contact.

Of course, there wasn’t any fear on Xun Hualiu’s face. Instead, he straightened his back and said, “What’s so great about you? If Lin Yue was here, you wouldn’t have the guts to challenge him.”

Shao Lin wasn’t angry at his sneering and replied with a laugh, “Lin Yue? Yes! Where did the genius go? This is such a grand event. Did he pull out because of fear?”

The next moment, everyone looked over to the altar.

Shao Lin turned his head to find the object of attention. A handsome guy wearing a robe in a blood-red color was standing beside the altar.
