Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

At the moment when their martial intentions clashed, veins bulged on Qi Wuji's face, and his golden pupils revealed an excited luster, "It seems that after you, Luo, became a Divine Envoy, you haven't made much progress!" He was facing Luo Wangshu, who had become the Third Divine Envoy and had obtained vast resources from the Divine Palace and the Great Song Dynasty, yet he didn't fall behind! It should be known that their remote confrontation was not just about martial arts' ultimate meanings, but also about both sides' spiritual power and abyssal concepts! Qi Wuji, who was merely a Ninth Realm surpassing the emperor level, could confront Luo Wangshu head-on in every aspect! This was the effect of those top-grade injections from the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons! These injections had enhanced every aspect of his power to the extreme. The blessing of the three infernal deities even allowed him to make significant progress in his understanding of abyssal concepts! Luo Wangshu's eyes dimmed, yet she was not annoyed; instead, they contained a hint of excitement. The things provided by those extraterritorial Heavenly Demons could actually enable Qi Wuji to grow to such an extent? Even Luo Wangshu speculated that Qi Wuji's body must have been injected with the pseudo-abyssal essence produced by the Federation, otherwise how could this guy, without any special bloodline, enhance his mastery of the two abyssal concepts to nearly forty percent? Simultaneously, Luo Wangshu's killing intent also peaked. "Is that so?" In that instant, the entire surroundings shattered like broken glass. Luo Wangshu stood right at the center of these glass fractures, she raised her hand to form a sword technique, her figure swayed in the night breeze, emitting a chilling aura that made one's heart tremble. "It seems you indeed gained quite a bit from those extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, worthy of a second look. Perhaps you now have the ability to catch my sword!" Luo Wangshu was already beautiful, but now her visage seemed to gather all the beautiful words in the world, yet transcended the mundane, exuding a sense of untouchable sanctity and majesty. Behind Luo Wangshu, a purple-gold greatsword appeared, its blade bursting with dazzling light, like falling stars or the break of dawn, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were day. The surrounding space warped, and the winds and clouds changed color! On the blade, one rune after another emerged, each looking simple, but they seemed to condense the most profound and ultimate truths of the world. The entire Luo Capital City, at this moment, extinguished all its lights. This caused waves of trepidation in Qi Wuji's heart, and disbelief showed in his eyes. Was this the 'Heavenly Principle Divine Heart Sword'? This woman, she had actually mastered this move? ——Damn! This person has been a Divine Envoy for just 60 years, and she has already mastered the secret techniques exclusive to the Divine Envoys? Indeed, this woman's talent and insight were terrifying. In the past, she emerged victorious in the selection through her unparalleled martial arts, without any background, and was recognized by a Priest of the Divine Palace, becoming one of the Twenty-Four Protectors. "Boom!" It was Qi Wuji's battle dragon that made the first aggressive move, violently striking at the greatsword behind Luo Wangshu. He couldn't allow Luo Wangshu to complete her move, for even if Qi Wuji used the Heavenly Demon elixirs to push his strength and spiritual power to the extreme, he would still have a hard time escaping alive under Luo Wangshu's Ninth Order, surpassing emperor level secret sword! Qi Wuji's battle dragon, like Emperor Renzong of the Great Song's battle dragon, was the 'Empyrean Emperor Dragon'. Its blade was nearly ignoring the laws of physics, fast as lightning and thunder, and extremely domineering, like a brilliant stroke of genius, containing unique rhythm and aesthetic. However, the razor-sharp blade light was never able to approach the purple-gold greatsword. From the blade, Sword Qi that twisted space-time shot out, appearing like ferocious thunder serpents and like devil dragons showing their fangs and claws, containing the power to destroy heavens and earth, with endless majesty and ferocity, versatile and unfathomable. These thunder serpents continuously bombarded the battle dragon's blade, emitting deafening roars, incessantly shattering and scattering the battle dragon's blade light. Qi Wuji himself, unifying man and blade, broke through the chaotic space-time currents, slashing directly at Luo Wangshu's true body! His man and blade became formless and intangible, also not bound by physical laws, and in less than a single breath's time, he had continuously unleashed a total of five thousand slashes around Luo Wangshu! However, these blade lights were all defended by the purple-golden great sword, whose strong Sword Qi, like an indestructible shield, halted the blade lights from moving forward, not allowing them to advance an inch. After Qi Wuji had struck over 5,300 times, he finally caused tiny cracks to appear on that purple-golden great sword. Yet at this time, Qi Wuji did not press forward but instead retreated; he and the War Dragon each transformed into a streak of dark golden light, flashing away into the distance. This was not only because Luo Wangshu's sword technique was nearing completion but also because the deity inside the Divine Palace had been stirred awake by their commotion. This deity usually remained in a deep slumber, without thoughts, without desires, without consciousness, seldom waking. The reason Qi Wuji dared to make a move here was that he had received reliable information that the deity had awoken once in the afternoon and then returned to slumber. But now, the deity was about to wake again. Luo Wangshu let out a soft snort from her mouth, pointing from afar in Qi Wuji's direction. The purple-golden great sword behind her also transformed into a beam of purple-golden light, pursuing and slashing towards Qi Wuji's direction. In that moment, it seemed as if only this sword existed between heaven and earth, as if time itself had come to a halt, and all things trembled before this force. "Clang!" At last, more than two hundred li away in the void, Qi Wuji was struck by that purple-golden light, instantly raising dust and a burst of bright flashes in that vicinity. However, the secret technique unleashed through his 5,300 frenzied slashes still had its effect, with Qi Wuji wielding three rapid slashes in the almost frozen moment of time to block the most powerful and sharp part of that purple-golden beam. His long sword ultimately shattered, but it was his entire lower abdomen that was blasted apart by the purple-golden light. With a loud laugh, Qi Wuji proclaimed, "What a sword 'Heavenly Principle Divine Heart'! Truly worthy of you, but Luo Wangshu, your sword also has its flaws! I will return, and the day Qi arrives back will be the day of your demise, Luo Wangshu." At that moment, Qi Wuji let out another muffled grunt. It was Luo Wangshu's Dragon Guard captain, Jing Yuefang, who sent a dark golden arrow streaking through the sky like a meteor chasing the moon, striking Qi Wuji. Though the arrow did not grievously wound Qi Wuji, it shattered his shoulder. Jing Yuefang subsequently retracted her Divine Artifact Longbow, and flashed to Luo Wangshu's side, her eyes filled with concern, "Master! Are you—" Luo Wangshu raised her hand, calmly stopping Jing Yuefang mid-sentence, "I am fine!" She forcefully swallowed the blood that rose to her throat and with a composed expression, bowed towards the heavens, "Divine Envoy Luo Wangshu, greets the deity!" Luo Wangshu sensed that the deity's gaze was already directing attention towards them. Possibly awakened by their clash, aside from confusion, the deity's thoughts also carried a tinge of anger. Her expression was extremely respectful, but her mind was on Lin Hao. She had to acquire some top-tier Heavenly Demon injections as soon as possible. She needed to enhance her physical body and spiritual power quickly; otherwise, even if she perfected this top-tier secret sword technique, she would not be able to fully unleash it. Luo Wangshu was not naive enough to believe that Qi Wuji's actions just now were really about their old grudge from over a hundred years ago. There was no need for that; for Qi Wuji, it would be adding risk and making it harder to evade pursuit by both the Divine Palace and court thereafter. Luo Wangshu was convinced that Qi Wuji's purpose was to probe, perhaps for his Heavenly Demon ally, or maybe for the Infernal Three Gods, and most likely, it was for someone hoping to be promoted to Divine Envoy, to test her level of combat strength. If she displayed strength below what the enemy expected, those hyenas lurking in the shadows would swarm out, lunging forward to take her down like a pack hunting a lion. So, the most pressing matter for her at the moment was to enhance her combat strength. And the greatest benefit Lin Hao brought to her by coming to her side was that Luo Wangshu finally had an absolutely trustworthy person and a seemingly reliable trading channel. Of course, the reliability of this channel still needed to be verified.
