--- Chapter 221 ---
"Heavenly Stomp!" Ye Xiu roared, creating a manifestation of a diving eagle.
BOOOOOOOM!!
The Colosseum shook violently.
Everyone looked down nervously, expecting Yu Long to get injured from such an attack. However, reality is often disappointing.
Yu Long grabbed Ye Xiu's foot, and the force behind his martial technique got distributed into the building instead, which left no scratch on himself.
"Impossible!" Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
"Shock Absorption and Distribution, pretty neat ability, right?" Yu Long smiled carefreely. "With it, nearly all physical attacks are rendered useless.""You should start using your profound energy, Ancestor Xiu."
"Although profound energy carries shock, it is still an energy that could affect me."
"Here, I will give a demonstration."
Yu Long pulled Ye Xiu down and struck his stomach with a palm, causing his energy to slip in. A small revolving sphere hit the stomach and razzed the skin.
"Energy Blast."
BOOM!
Ye Xiu felt a warm sensation in his stomach and experienced a powerful explosion. He groaned and got sent flying like a broken kite.
He landed on the other side of the Colosseum and hissed, "That energy ball rotated, rupturing some of my muscle tissues."
"Another basic, but only effective when your energy's concentration is higher than the target."
"Yu Long... You haven't used any profound energy all this time."
"But I finally noticed your profound energy is many times stronger than those Gods and Devils in the Primordial Era of Gods. Just what kind of Profound Arts have you cultivated?"
"Nothing special, really." Yu Long jumped out of the hole in the wall.
"I created my own Profound Arts and have been improving it as I grew my Profound Path."
"You created your own Profound Arts??" Ye Xiu and the rulers couldn't believe their ears.
No, Ye Sanshan actually has reported to them that Yu Long has invented some Profound Arts and a new field of Profound Paths. Nevertheless, they didn't take it seriously because what kind of miracles could a kid create?
They even laughed at Ye Sanshan, thinking Yu Long was piecing things into a book, and called it a new Profound Art. After all, the profound knowledge of the Profound Sky Continent is limited.
"How?" Someone from the podium uttered. It was Sea Queen.
"How?" Yu Long glanced ahead. "Just observe nature and pile it into a book before taking its essence into physical application. Isn't that how profound arts got created?"
"For example, the World Ode of the Phoenix was 'literally' created based on the majesty of the Phoenix God. The same goes for the Great Way of the Buddha, which refers to one's stillness and belief in the physical body."
"The stronger one believes in Profound Path, the stronger one could be."
They knew what Yu Long meant, but they couldn't wrap their head around the fact Yu Long was only sixteen!
It would be more believable if Yu Long were a reincarnation of a powerful being like Ye Xiu, but he isn't.
Yu Long is a kid who just reached adulthood.
He's many centuries younger than all of them.
A genius is not enough to describe Yu Long's oddity.
Yu Long smiled at their baffled looks and added casually, "I created my own Profound Arts because there are no existing Profound Arts that could meet my standard."
"Everything is lousy with no foundation and depth."
"The first legit Profound Art I found interesting is the World Ode of the Phoenix. Even then, it was incomplete."
"You guys don't know how annoying incompletely Profound Art can be, so I have to modify it for my subordinates. Now they could cultivate it without the rich concentration of Phoenix's bloodline."
"Master is telling the truth," Yuyan suddenly said.
"At the time, I only held the 5th and 6th Stages of the [World Ode of the Phoenix], yet he successfully modified them into a brand new Profound Art that still possesses the essence of Phoenix."
"He called it Phoenix Aspect!"
"Phoenix Aspect..." Ye Xue and the rulers mumbled.
"H-How could a young man like you achieve all this?" Another person spouted in shock. It was the Serpent Queen.
"That's just the same question with a different twist." Yu Long couldn't help but chuckle. "But it's alright, I will answer it for you."
"Everything in the world is 'naturally' formed by a set of rules."
"I called it the Law of Universe, and the Law of Universe possessed still patterns, which I could comprehend and put together into Aspects."
"For example, what is the foundation of fire? It's not just the miraculous appearance of thin air, you know?"
"It started with combustible material, oxygen, and heat met."
"We can use Profound Energy as a combustible material, and oxygen is plenty in the surroundings."
"The next thing you need is friction!" Yu Long snapped his finger and created a spark that combust a momentary flame.
"The more energy and oxygen you added, the stronger the fire."
He stretched his left arm and aimed at the Colosseum's wall.
A ball of flame appeared, revolving with red, orange, yellow, white, and then blue.
SWOOOSH!
The ball of blue flame is small, barely the size of a pinky finger, and met with the wall.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
A devastating explosion shook the Colosseum.
Everyone's jaws dropped.
Feng Xue'er clapped, "Big Brother is amazing."
"..." Ye Xiu watched the melting Colosseum's wall with a disturbed gaze.
Ye Xiu has manipulated this Ancestral Land with Nirvana, changing space, time, and dimension. Yet the ball of flame earlier burned his creation.
Even now, he could still feel the terrifying law of fire from the scattering blue flames.
'With my current state, I don't think I can take that fireball head-on.' He truthfully thought.
'I'd get burned to a crisp...'
In the past, the Nirvana Devil Emperor wouldn't bat an eye at Yu Long's display of fire law.
However, having a point of view as a human changed the Nirvana Devil Emperor's perception.
He also realized how shallow he could be.
However, he still has to show some dignity.
Ye Xiu cleared his sore throat awkwardly, "Ehem, ehem. We can discuss this later."
"Let's finish the spar first."
"What do you think of ending it within one move, Yu Long?"
"One move it is." Yu Long doesn't have a problem with it.
Ye Xiu sighed in relief inwardly and added, "Also, I want to face one of your most powerful Profound Skills?"
Yu Long raised his brow, "Are you sure? It can be a little dangerous."
"Show me!" Ye Xiu's body released an intense aura.
"Okay, okay, chill. Ancestor Xiu, everything can be settled." Yu Long knew Ye Xiu wanted to save himself from embarrassment.
'Well, I couldn't perform too poorly then...'
He breathed in and prepared to use the big gun.
[Art of Ghost: Ghost Emperor's Spear]
Infinite darkness suddenly burst from the bottom of Yu Long's foot and swept the Colosseum like a violent tide. Everyone could feel coldness in their skin and tremble because of it.
The darkness moved and gathered in Yu Long's left hand, condensing into a three-meter-long spear with purple carvings. The spear's tip gleamed with a gloomy aura.
It made Ye Xiu, the reincarnated Nirvana Devil Emperor, nervous.
'What the fuck is that?' Ye Xiu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Ancestor Xiu, prepare yourself." Yu Long breathed out and entered a stance while gripping his spear tightly.
[Art of Ghost: God-Killing Spear!]
Yu Long moved and swung the dark spear forcibly, creating a whistling sound in the area.
There is no fancy explosion, but everyone can see Yu Long tearing the fabric of space with his spear strike.
'Kid, are you trying to kill me?!' Ye Xiu was speechless.
Ye Xiu hurriedly used the power of Nirvana and conjured several shields before him. Still, Yu Long's spear pierced through all these shields and missed Ye Xiu's neck by thin hair difference.
SWOOOOOOOOOOSH!! BOOM!
As the dark spear stopped, a shockwave swept the Colosseum and wiped everything.
Ye Xiu stood still. No, he couldn't move, to be exact.
After all, he narrowly escaped death just now.
"Hehe, this spar. It's my win." Yu Long chuckled while smiling at him.
"Y-Y-Yeah..." Ye Xiu regained his senses and slowly glanced back in horror.
"I-It's your win..."
Behind Ye Xiu, the Colosseum wall no longer exists.
All Ye Xiu could see was a massive hole in space, revealing a dark and bottomless void.
