Chapter 1016 - Riding Two Dragons Harnessing the Chi Extra 46 for Alliance Hierarch Chen Zeqing

After releasing the Divine Skills of River Lord, every move that Zuo Guangshu made brimmed with the power of Outer Tower level Dao Techniques.This was different from Ji Shaoqingâs First Quarter Moon.
The enhancement that the First Quarter Moon provided to Water Taoism Techniques allowed Ji Shaoqingâs mid-grade Class A Dao Techniques to exhibit the prowess of top-grade Class A Dao Techniques, and with the help of the environment, they could even suppress Jiang Wangâs Eight Tones Engulfing Sea, which was also a top-grade Class A Dao Technique.
River Lord state Zuo Guangshu didnât need to base his strength on mid-grade Class A Dao Techniques.
He had completely deconstructed the fundamentals of Outer Tower level Water Taoism Techniques and integrated them into his every gesture.
This was a qualitative difference!
If one had to make a comparison, it was like when Jiang Wang mastered his âPurple Qi Eastwardâ swordsmanship, every attack and move he made could wield the âPurple Qi Eastward.â
Of course, the First Quarter Moon also had the effect of suppressing other Elemental Magic and boasted a second form, the âArrow of the Moon,â which hit its target with each shot.
It wasnât straightforward to compare these with the River Lord Divine Skills directly.
Even with the same Dao Technique, different individuals would yield entirely different effects.
Divine Skills are no exception, with the cultivatorâs own prowess being most important.
Placed in someone elseâs hands, even if they possessed the River Lord Divine Skills, they might not achieve what Zuo Guangshu had.
After all, he was the ferocious figure who had fought his way to the 27th rank of Taixu Illusion Realmâs Inner Mansion with Dao Techniques alone.
His understanding of Water Taoism Techniques was transcendental, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
The Zuo Guangshu of today was no longer the man of the past.
The water prison of today was not as it once was.
But Jiang Wang of today was also unlike his past self!
Back then, Jiang Wang could only rely on his Divine Soul Strength to feint and deceive, scraping victory with jealous flames.
But now, he had unlocked three palaces, possessed three Divine Skills.
In terms of cultivation and combat strength, he should be the one overwhelmingly dominantâŚ
how could he be the prisoner?
No surprise troops were necessary.
A circle of intense flames burst forth around him, instantly burning away any waters that drew near.
Jiang Wang charged at Zuo Guangshu, shrouded in Samadhi True Fire, within the domain of water.
The scorching Samadhi True Fire burned all in its path.
Not even Outer Tower level Water Taoism Techniques could contend with Samadhi True Fire.
Even Bao Songâs Divine Skill, Yi Zhen Heavenly Water, couldnât hold its own against fully unleashed Samadhi True Fire.
Water Jiao, whirlpools, raging wavesâŚ
All were consumed by the fierce flames.
No matter how splendid or powerful the Dao Technique Zuo Guangshu hurled, Jiang Wang countered only with burning Samadhi True Fire!
In a typical battle, this would undoubtedly be a losing choice.
Pitting Divine Skills against Dao Techniques was not worth the loss.
However, the Discussion Platform had its spatial limitations, and while it completed Zuo Guangshuâs water cage, easily transforming the setting and creating a world of waterâŚ
It also limited Zuo Guangshuâs space to maneuver, confined to this area alone.
Wherever the water reached, the fire was there too.
Jiang Wang, engulfed in Samadhi True Fire, was unstoppable.
This was a head-on clash, power breaking through strategic positions.
Whichever place he charged into, waters would be extinguished, and waves were no more, like sweeping away armies effortlessly!
In the world of water, he forcefully carved out a realm of fire, cloaked in Samadhi True Fire, barreling towards the front of Zuo Guangshu.
At that momentâŚ
The two faced each other from all sides.
One enveloped in blazing flames, extinguishing the engulfing waters, unstoppable in momentum.
The other clad in water-colored battle armor, draped in a deep blue robe, eyes as deep as rivers.
As they collided with each other.
The blue robe swirled, and the rivers flowed backward.
Out of those rivers emerged a magnificent chariot.
This chariot was covered with jade lotuses and drawn by Kirin, driving the currents and sweeping over the waves.
Zuo Guangshu stood atop the great chariot, like a Deity descending upon the world!
Hu!
Jiang Wang exhaled deeply.
It was an extremely cold and piercingly intense breath!
A whiff of frosty white wind came from his nostrils, confronting head-on, shattering the Kirin, tearing apart the jade lotuses, blasting that chariot of the Deity into powder and broken bones.
And within Zuo Guangshuâs Tongtian Palace, the battle raged on simultaneously.
The moment Soul Stealth Snake burst in, Zuo Guangshuâs Soul Manifestation met it atop a blue Jiao, ready for combat.
Jiang Wang leapt out from amidst the Hidden Snake, brandishing the Divine Soul Sword and with one swift stroke, aimed to split the Tongtian Palace in two!
Aware of Jiang Wangâs divine soul combat abilities, Zuo Guangshu had prepared himself; yet upon facing him again, he realized the Divine Soul Strength was still far too powerful!
The dense crowd of Soul Stealth Snakes had grown stronger than before, and the edge of the Divine Soul Sword was sharper than anyone could have imagined.
Most importantly, at this critical moment, Zuo Guangshu found himself frozen in a momentary lapse.
What his eyes saw was a man walking through fire, riding flames to burn the rivers.
What his spirit sensed was a man arriving with his sword drawn, its edge fully revealed.
Two figures, one inside and the other outside, overlapping at a single point.
It almost seemed as if one could seeâŚ
The flames, and within the flames, that personâŚ
He was like the brilliant sun, the fierce noonday, a man almost too dazzling to look upon directly.
Swoosh!
A flash of cold light!
Zuo Guangshu instinctively closed his eyes.
But he did not experience the sensation of a soul shattered in defeat.
Amidst the scattered ash of the chariotâs remains, Jiang Wang held an ordinary magical sword horizontally at Zuo Guangshuâs neck.
With a light chuckle, he said, âYouâve lost, Guangshu.â
(Youâve lost, Guangshu.
You lost again, huh, little Guangshu.
Look, you still lost.
If you want to join me on the battlefield, this level isnât enough.
What will you do, want to beat me today?
You have to try harder, Guangshu.
The variations of this Dao TechniqueâŚ
well, Guangshu, when it comes to Water tactics Iâm no match for you.
You win!
I shall reward you!
HmmâŚ
the worldâs best Channel-opening Pill, what do you think?
I will be back.)
Zuo Guangshu opened his eyes, only to see a handsome but indistinct face.
âCan youâŚ
remove the disguise from your face?â There was an almost imperceptible tremble in the voice of the youth.
âHuh?â
Jiang Wang was slightly taken aback but he wasnât inclined to refuse such a simple request from Zuo Guangshu.
Zuo Guangshu was already well aware of his real-life identity, and there was nothing about his face that needed to be hidden.
With a thought, the Taixu Illusion Realm returned his facial features to their true form.
It was a young face, one that could be described as delicate.
He possessed a unique, calm, and resolute temperament,
A clear conscience he could uphold with pride, and an exceedingly strong heart.
He was an individual whose unique charm made it easy for others to take to him.
But he wasnât that personâŚ
Zuo Guangshu snapped back to reality and scoffed, âHeh!
Using both divine skills and divine soul techniques, Dugu Wudiâs thirty percent power sure is formidable, huh?â
Jiang Wang laughed unabashedly, âBluffing, who canât do that?â
After laughing, he sincerely added, âYour control over Dao Techniques, coupled with your River God divine skills, is nearly unbreakable.
Other than overpowering it with force, I really canât think of any other way.
I havenât developed my Samadhi True Fire as well as you.â
Although Zuo Guangshu had only displayed one divine skill, this skill was so innately suited to him.
Every movement carried the might of Outer Tower-level Dao Techniques; what did that imply?
A real Outer Tower Cultivator couldnât utilize Outer Tower-level Dao Arts without limit, nor could they use them as naturally as Zuo Guangshu.
Zuo Guangshu simply spread his hands, dissolving his River God divine skill, and spoke with his inherent arrogance, âThe battle is over; you donât need to make excuses for me.â
