Chapter 1757: Solitary Empty Heart Versus Illusions
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Solitary Empty Heart had existed since ancient times. Those cultivating this technique needed to forget their body and mind and enter a state of emptiness. It was rumored that to enter that state, one had to experience the pinnacle of pain where one would forget one's body and surpass one's limit. Then, one would enter a Solitary Empty Battle State, a state that was also the bane of all illusions because it was immune to them.
Prior to this, Qin Jiu had not entered that state. In fact, he had only gained the ability to enter that state due to his sudden enlightenment from witnessing Huan Lexuan killing several young Gods in a row with illusions.
One ought to admit that Qin Jiu's comprehension far surpassed that of other young Gods. He had a high-tier nine-star physique. When he unleashed all his strength, he could face even those in the Nine Revolutions Realm. If he couldn't defeat Huan Lexuan with that much strength, then he would have no choice but to admit that the aliens were too strong.
Huan Lexuan could sense the overwhelming might coming from Qin Jiu. He also entered his strongest state and formed numerous hand seals, hurriedly forming an illusory world of mirrors. Countless mirrors appeared around them, and countless Huan Lexuan appeared.
Myriad Illusory Mirror Kill!
The attacks of the illusions were more than illusions. They would actually harm someone, albeit lighter than when Huan Lexuan himself attacked. Qin Jiu ignored those attacks as a thick aura covered his body, allowing him to withstand all of them. He then brutishly charged toward one of the attacks.
Dragonsnake Swallows the Sky!
The nine-headed dragonsnake roared and bit Huan Lexuan's attack. Instantly, the attack was crushed. Then, the nine-headed dragonsnake knocked against Huan Lexuan, sending him flying away.
Layer upon layer of illusory crystals appeared over Huan Lexuan, protecting him from the attack. Cracks had appeared on them. It was evident that these crystals couldn't fully block Qin Jiu's attack.
"So strong," Huan Lexuan finally panicked.
Qin Jiu looked at Huan Lexuan with complete indifference in his eyes as though he was merely looking at a random person. He pressed his palm down, shattering the cracked illusory crystals and sending Huan Lexuan flying and coughing blood. Qin Jiu followed closely after Huan Lexuan's flying body, aiming to kill him once and for all.
At this time, the nine powerful young aliens started to lose their patience. One of them said, "This person is immune to illusions. Let me handle him."
"No. If he is too weak to even escape after defeat, he should just die," said the alien shrouded in darkness.
His words were akin to the command of a monarch. Nobody dared to question him. Huan Lexuan took out an outfit and put it on. It was a nine-revolutions grade outfit. Not only could it increase his defenses, but it also helped him blend into space and vanish completely from view.
After losing his target, Qin Jiu did not keep chasing. Rather, he spread his senses around, slowly sending his senses into the void. Meanwhile, Huan Lexuan was waiting for the best opportunity to mount another sneak attack. Inwardly, he thought hatefully, Repulsive bastard. You're actually immune to my illusions? I'll make sure to cut you into pieces!
All the surrounding onlookers held their breath, awaiting the result of the battle. Who among the two would win? The humans did not wish to see Qin Jiu lose. If even Qin Jiu was defeated, their morale would drop even more. Huan Lexuan's outfit was indeed extraordinary. It hid his entire presence, and not even Qin Jiu in his state of emptiness could sense him.
After a while, Huan Lexuan finally moved. Nobody had expected that Huan Lexuan would appear above Qin Jiu. Two daggers appeared in his hand as he sent a pair of sharp illusory blades downward. With the two blades crossed, they struck out like a viper, attacking in a completely unexpected manner. The attack was powerful enough that not even peak ninth-stage Gods could withstand it.
Cutting the Head, Tearing the Body!
Even a Nine Revolutions Realm expert would perish to the attack if caught completely unaware. Qin Jiu raised his brow and instantly lifted one of his arms, blocking the incoming attack. His arm was directly cut into a clump of bloody mist.
Although Huan Lexuan had removed one of Qin Jiu's arms, he did not seem happy. He retreated unhesitatingly, but how could Qin Jiu let go of that opportunity? His other hand smashed upward.
Scaled Dragonsnake Arm!
Layer upon layer of scales covered Qin Jiu's arm as his arm shot toward Huan Lexuan's head like an actual dragonsnake. That was the strongest attack he could launch, one he had been preparing for a long time. It could challenge even Nine Revolutions Realm experts, and it smashed Huan Lexuan's head into pieces.
Qin Jiu circulated his God Realm energy and rapidly regrew his arm while he continued to barrage Huan Lexuan. Huan Lexuan was still alive. With his nine-revolutions grade outfit, his crystal layers were still protecting his body. Even with his head destroyed, he could regrow it. He decisively retreated, no longer daring to face Qin Jiu.
"Lords, you should make a move. I'm not that kid's match," said Huan Lexuan when he reached the warship.
Qin Jiu only gave chase for a short distance before stopping. He then returned to his people.
"Young Master Jiu is unrivaled! Young Master Jiu is unrivaled!" all his people cheered.
Although Qin Jiu had not been able to kill Huan Lexuan, he had still defeated him. That in itself was an impressive feat. One ought to know that Huan Lexuan was an alien who had just killed many other young human Gods.
What a close call. Fortunately, I have fully mastered the Solitary Empty Heart, thought Qin Jiu inwardly.
If he hadn't reached full mastery of the Solitary Empty Heart, he would have been subjected to Huan Lexuan's illusion techniques.
Ultimately, he had emerged victorious. He gazed at the alien army and said, "There's nothing special about these aliens."
He sounded smug, but he was qualified to be smug.
"How arrogant. I'll give you an hour to recover. After that, get over here and die," said a golden man as he stepped forth with powerful strides.
The golden man had waist-length curly hair. His eyes were as ferocious as a lion's. His entire body was muscular and emanated a sensation of power. Shrouded in a gold radiance, he was akin to a walking golden god, dazzling and extraordinary.
"I'll take this fight," said Gongsun Sanyang before Qin Jiu could say anything.
Many of the young Gods had lost the courage to fight. Now would be the perfect time for the stronger young Gods to step up and win their hearts. Gongsun Sanyang naturally wouldn't miss out on such a chance.
"Die, then," said the golden man coldly as he attacked.
