Chapter 131

– Aberrance

Brother Long Yue, seems like you are very interested in what’s inside the door?

King Teng’s sights were sharp, gazing at Zhong Yue’s countenance, scrutinizing every minutia of his expression,
The seal has a flaw in it, which was the door’s key. While the seal was placed by the creature that left this place, its prowess was already at the level of magnates. In conjunction with the celestial blood coursing through its veins, and the consumption of the monster god Ming King’s meat, flesh and even the bones … All of these made the seal nearly impenetrable. Only magnates could have a slight chance of cracking it. But Brother Long Yue, just a second before, I caught a glimpse of joy in your eyes, and I can sense that your heartbeat quickened by a beat. Could it possibly be that Brother Long Yue has some measures to unlock the door?

Zhong Yue smiled, and he nonchalantly took out the token that he plundered from Zhu Xian’er’s corpse and said smilingly,
That’s right, the key is right here. I seized it after having killed Zhu Xian’er, and it so happens to be the key that unlocks this door. Honestly speaking, Zhu Xian’er is of the insect race, and also the disciple of that creature. She came here to the Black Mountain secret realm at the behest of her master. Her purpose was most likely to investigate what the saint city lord was planning and also the state of the treasure that was sealed by that creature.

King Teng’s breath turned rapid, he stared vacantly at the token in his hands. Moments later, King Teng lips cracked into a smile,
Brother Long Yue showing me the key, seems like you’ve intentions to kill me. You knew very well yourself that once you revealed the key, I would kill you for sure without mercy. You are forcing me to kill you, and also, forcing yourself to kill me.

The key itself involved many things, it must not be exposed or otherwise, not only the ‘big guy’ would come for them, the saint city lord would also hunt for them. It would only bring a calamity upon its holder.
It was all because the Black Mountain suppressed the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, and Ming King was the monster god that was tasked to guard the treasures hidden in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land.
Such a treasure, its attraction in the eyes of the magnates could be clearly seen!
Hence, so long as a word was spoken about the key, the holder would be doomed to an ending no other than death!
The key was the final piece required to enter the inner sanctum that contained the treasures that Ming King was tasked to look over. Whether it was King Teng or Zhong Yue, they would never allow each other to walk out alive from this place lest they spill the tales!
Hence, Zhong Yue took out the key right in front of King Teng, robbing himself of all options other than to fight to the death with King Teng right here, right now!

Between you and me, only one can walk out alive. Taking out the key is merely an assurance.

Zhong Yue kept the key, his body rocked as he morphed into the eight-armed Ming King. He said indifferently,
King Teng, you held the name of the ‘undying one’, and you apparently have no weak points. Not even the Wu Xing Wheel experts can do anything against you. Along the way, I’ve seen your prowess, and indeed, it was impressive … fairly admirable.

He abruptly stomped his feet heavily, bolting out like a nocked arrow finally let loose. In the blink of an eye, he was at the side of King Teng!
King Teng also rocked his body, morphing into the eight-armed Ming King, and the two clashed together!
Krong
King Teng was sent reeling back, slamming into a gigantic pillar in the Ming King palace, he exclaimed out involuntarily,
Such a strong physique? You are indeed worthy as one of the dragon race!

The moment he clashed with Zhong Yue, he could feel the overwhelming strength contained within Zhong Yue’s muscles, channeled from his bones and through to his muscle and skin, culminating in a massive burst of power!
The overwhelming strength was like an explosion, sending him flying. He was evidently unable to match Zhong Yue in terms of strength!

King Teng, when the saint city lord was ranking the monster Rebirth Qi Practitioners, you were placed at the second place, one step behind the Heavenly Monster, Li Jun. Clearly, your undying body is not truly undying at all!

Zhong Yue dashed over in a zigzag course. One second, he would be on the left only to be on the right in the next. It was hard for anyone else to predict his movements. Eight arms quivered vigorously and all the weapons emerged in his hands — sword, saber, hammer, whip, shields and hook swords. Like a typhoon blowing violently, slamming over towards King Teng while he smirked coldly,
As long as it’s not truly the undying body, then you can be killed!

King Teng’s body also shuddered as the weapons emerged in his own eight arms, slashing over toward his opponent. The shields collided with each other, blocking the attacks, hook swords clawed and slashed all around. They fought across from one end to the other, wielding and swinging their weapons, clashing and colliding with each other. The high-pitched screaming of the weapons resonated dissonantly throughout the room. King Teng was continually pushed back from the immense impact force coming from Zhong Yue’s body. His body shuddered violently, and his control over his weapons was disrupted!
It was the same【Monster God Ming King Art】, it was nearly the same depth and degree that they cultivated it to. However, Zhong Yue was able to suppress King Teng due to the overwhelming strength in his body!

Ba Ji Slaughtering Array!

Shouted Zhong Yue as he attacked while King Teng released a sonorous cry and all of a sudden, all eight weapons crossed together and formed the Ba Ji Slaughtering Array. He growled fiercely,
Ba Ji Shield Kill!

The powers in the weapons merged together and flooded into the two shields. The shields were raised up side by side, and he hammered them down over towards Zhong Yue. It was one of the transformations of the Ba Ji Slaughtering Array — focusing the combined power through the shield’s strike!

Ba Ji Hammer Strike!

Zhong Yue yelled out loudly, the muscles on the eight arms bulged out as he cast the hammer strike of the Ba Ji Slaughtering Array. As the indomitable hammer collided with the shields, King Teng muffled a deep groan in pain and staggered backward.

Ba Ji Saber Cut!

Bright white rays of saber flitted over at the heels of the hammer —Shua shua shua— slashing down at King Teng’s head in a fan-like formation, from the left, right and top!
King Teng’s arms wobbled vigorously, the shields flipped over and arranged themselves to form a shield wall,
Shield Wall of Defense!

Zheng zheng zheng
The discordant sounds of clanking metal could be heard endlessly, and as the shield wall was broken by the saber rays, they continued onwards to penetrate through the cracks on the shield wall!

Ba Ji Sword Slash!

Shua
Chi chi chi The sword rays pierced through the air and blasted into King Teng’s body, slashing on him apart, resulting in the vines being eviscerated and strewn about all across the ground. All of a sudden, his Yuan Shen leaped out from behind his head and also visualized the eight-armed Ming King, clenching tightly on the eight weapons to fend off Zhong Yue’s assault.

Shield Strike!

Zhong Yue yelled out fiercely, he galvanized the power into the twin shields and slammed at King Teng along with his Yuan Shen —Krong!— launching him away to crash into the wall.

Hehehe … interesting….

King Teng leaned on the wall and stopped himself from falling onto the ground, he suddenly chortled lowly, it grew louder and louder, to eventually turn into a maniacal laughter,
Brother Long Yue is truly strong, you are worthy enough to witness my true strength.

In this instantaneous passage of time, his body suffered at least a few dozen wounds, but none of them were oozing blood out. He had one of his arms severed away by Zhong Yue, and three broken fingers on the other hand, his nose was slashed away and his flesh was lacerated, and yet, he appeared indifferent to his sorry state.
Just as Zhong Yue was about to press forward, he suddenly stopped down and flipped backward in retreat —Chi chi chi— in the blink of an eye, the ground beneath him cracked open and large thick vines extruded out, thrusting towards him like swords!
Zhong Yue’s eight arms wobbled, waving the weapons in the air, warding off the vines and twines. He landed down on the ground and as he cast his gaze over at King Teng, his pupils could not help but constrict — the vines snaked over at King Teng, interweaving each other. In a mere moment, they formed thick and sturdy muscles, tendons, blood vessels, bones, fingers, toes, limbs, head and hairs!
Dong
King Teng alighted from the palace wall, waving his eight arms in the air and slowly stood up. He was now an over two hundred feet tall eight-armed giant. He cast his gaze over at Zhong Yue, and in his eye sockets, emerald green vines slithered like snakes curling together, ultimately forming his eyeballs!
The vine giant was heavily built, it was different to how King Teng looked before. it was stronger and better in every regard. Vines snaked around his legs like pythons, supplying him with strength and energy like muscle fibers. His head was also made of the vines, and even his heart looked like as if dozens of giant pythons were coiling in his heart chamber!

Brother Long Yue, it’s rare that I ever reveal the full limits of my power, not even eighty percent of all. But for you, who is worthy enough, I will show you that eighty percent!

King Teng measured his body, and his eyes suffused with admiration. He praised,
My mortal body … there aren’t any weak points like the other monsters. My strength can reach to the peak, my psyche is immense, and my Yuan Shen is flooding with life force! What is that saint city lord, who couldn’t even acquire the fully completed【Monster God Ming King Art】. Selecting a closed door disciple was only a cover for us to help him in completing the flawed【Monster God Ming King Art】. How dare such a clown of a saint city lord say that I’m not the match of Heavenly Monster Li Jun!

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped in shock, for him to blurt out such words, it was clear that King Teng had long seen through the monster saint city lord’s intentions. In fact, through all the stages, it was quite probable that the complete【Monster God Ming King Art】was lost in the relentless flowing river of time. What’s left was only the flawed and incomplete【Monster God Ming King Art】. Even if the saint city lord were to come here himself, he would still not be able to acquire that vaunted【Monster God Ming King Art】. Surely, the part where it related to the Ming King divine eye would be missing.
King Teng battered his mountainous fist over. They were hefty and strong, trembling the air around that resonated with a sound reminiscent of the rumbling thunder. It was so strong that it could not be mentioned in the same breath as before!

The Heavenly Monster, Li Jun died in the black forest, he is not even worth a shit, how blasphemous that he be put in the same sentence as me!

His body was colossal, and accordingly, his strength was not hollow — The bigger the body, the greater the strength – this was a fundamental principle of life. Although he did not use the Ba Ji Slaughtering Array nor the Ba Ji Weapons, the sheer strength in his punch was even more threatening than the Ba Ji Slaughtering Arrays!
Zhong Yue released a fierce growl while he cast the Ba Ji Slaughtering Array — saber rays flashed in the air. Sword Qi flitted around, the overwhelming hammer slammed over, the long whip lashed horizontally, hook swords clawed over and the great shields struck out. The combined strength and power of the weapons were aggregated to contend against King Teng’s domineering punch.
KRONG!!
An ear-deafening sound of explosion could be heard as they clashed into each other, quaking the palace violently. Zhong Yue was finally able to block the punch, the saber, sword, and hook swords slashed open the vines snaking on the fist, the overwhelming hammer warded off the immense strength in the fist and the two shields blocked down the fist’s thrusting, while he himself was almost sent into a stupor by the immense impact force.
Almost instantaneously, the broken vines on King Teng’s fist flipped over, slithering in the air like pythons and thrusting at him from all domains!
Chi Chi Chi Sword rays flitted out from Zhong Yue’s skin surface and formed the 【Seventh Sword Style】lacerating the python-like green vines. With a flash of his body, he bolted towards King Teng!

The bigger the body, the greater the strength, but also, the lower your agility!

Zhong Yue stomped and walked in mid-air, the totem patterns of the monster god Ming King underwent continuous transformations, endlessly strengthening his body and increasing his speed. All of a sudden, King Teng launched another fist downwards!
At the same time, all the other six arms beneath his armpits followed suit and slammed down towards Zhong Yue, and not only that, there were still python-like vines extruding out from his body and thrusting over at Zhong Yue!
Zhong Yue was in mid-air, he flitted here and there in evasion of the giant fists while the vines were severed by the sword rays revolving around him.
The swiftness and nimbleness with which he brandished his eight arms belied his colossal size. They didn’t even seem like they belonged to a two hundred feet over giant colossal!
Zhong Yue was evading the fists, he was getting nearer to King Teng’s body and out of nowhere, a half a mu in radius giant palm slammed down on him, catching him off guard!

Great Sun Golden Crow!

A scorching sun appeared behind his head, one after another, three-legged golden crows flew out from the sun, extending out their wings to submerge the whole area of over a hundred feet in radius in a blazing inferno. They winged over and pounced on the approaching palm, flames burst out as the three-legged golden crows clawed on the vines that formed the hand — in an instant, the fire ignited the vines, the flames continued to spread through the whole palm.
Zhong Yue seized the chance, flitted over and landed on King Teng’s shoulder.

Hehe, Brother Long Yue’s visualization arts are indeed, very impressive, but I’m afraid, I’m better!

King Teng guffawed, all of a sudden, vines danced on his shoulder and a King Teng emerged from the shoulder. One after another, more King Tengs appeared out of his shoulder and encircled Zhong Yue in the middle!

What?
Zhong Yue’s scalp tingled, he gazed around only to see the miniature King Tengs crawling out from King Teng’s body. His giant body was soon inundated with the miniature Teng Kings, and all of them had eight armed while wielding the Ba Ji Weapons!
