Chapter 1048: Clear Origin Divine Manifestation
Earth-Shaking Divine Form?
Upon hearing these four words, Lin Qiye first愣了一下, then his expression grew peculiar.
If he wasn't mistaken, the [Heaven-Equaling Avatar] he had learned from Sun Wukong should be one form of the Earth-Shaking Divine Form.
"I've heard of it... I've also studied it a little."
Yang Jian quickly reacted, "That monkey taught you? Even better, show me."
Lin Qiye nodded, slowly closing his eyes. A moment later, a soul phantom emerged from his body as surrounding spiritual energy wildly churned, pouring into this soul phantom.
Several bolts of lightning swept across the sky. Above the floating mountain peak, demonic energy rolled. A massive phantom of a demon ape quickly coalesced and landed on the mountainside.
Demon wind howled. Yang Jian and Nezha stood in the courtyard, gazing at the enormous demon slowly rising to its full height on the mountainside. Their eyebrows slightly lifted.
"The aura is identical to that monkey's... It seems he's received the true teachings?" Nezha exclaimed in surprise. "And he claimed he wasn't that monkey's disciple. How could anyone master this divine ability to such a degree unless taught personally by the monkey?"
Yang Jian's silver robe billowed in the surging demonic energy. He squinted, carefully examining the demonic Lin Qiye for a long while, then nodded and said:
"Excellent. Your Demon Form has received the true teachings from that monkey. Even looking across the entire Heavenly Court, few could achieve this level...
However, the Demon Form carries too much malevolent energy. Prolonged use will affect your soul's temperament, causing your emotions to slip beyond your control.
Furthermore, the Demon Form's attack methods are singular—only brute physical force. Though overwhelmingly powerful, in certain situations, it becomes far too clumsy."
The demon ape gazed at Yang Jian, nodding slightly.
Regarding the first drawback Yang Jian mentioned—affecting temperament—Lin Qiye hadn't yet felt it. Perhaps it was because he'd only used [Heaven-Equaling Avatar] once thus far, so the effects weren't pronounced.
But the limitation of singular attack methods? He'd felt that clearly when facing "Klein" and the "Mysteries" in Shangjing City.
In the state of [Heaven-Equaling Avatar], though his body was incomparably formidable—capable of snapping the Pencil Spirit with bare hands, biting through the Tumble-Doll—he was like a wild man with nothing but raw strength. Had there been a few "Mysteries" with higher mobility, he'd have been as useless as a headless fly, chaotically dashing about.
"Today, the divine ability I'm teaching you shares the same origin as the Demon Form, yet runs completely contrary to it. It can wash away the malevolent influence the Demon Form brings you, and complement it as well.
Since you've already mastered the Demon Form, learning this technique should be quite swift."
Yang Jian stood before the surging demonic energy, gently raising both hands and forming a complex hand seal. At the same time, the vertical eye between his brows suddenly opened wide!
A torrential, immense divine power fluctuation descended without warning.
The surrounding spiritual energy instantly tore into a vortex, rotating at extreme speed above Yang Jian's head. His form rapidly ascended, quickly transforming into a figure identical in size to the demon ape!
It was a grand, solemn divine shadow. Clad in silver armor, radiating dazzling divine power, with a single vertical eye slightly open between its brows—its gaze seeming to pierce through heaven and earth.
One暴戾 demon, one solemn divine image, standing upon the immortal mist-shrouded floating mountain peak, facing each other across the distance.
The divine image parted its lips and spoke slowly:
"This divine ability is one I independently created—
Its name is... [Clear Origin Divine Manifestation]."
...
Jade Pool.
Within the most magnificent and towering immortal palace, a beautiful woman adorned in a flowing gold-threaded purple-patterned divine robe slowly passed through the white jade great hall and stopped at the palace gate.
Her gaze passed through verdant mountain peaks and pristine flowing clouds, falling upon a certain peak within the Jade Pool. There, a Demon Form and a Divine Manifestation stood facing each other.
The Queen Mother of the West's beautiful eyes rippled with emotion, a smile forming at the corners of her lips.
"Fate... is truly miraculous."
A yellow-robed maid servant approached from behind and bowed respectfully, speaking softly:
"My Lady, we've discovered a corpse at the foot of the Qingluan Peak. It should be one of the three invaders who escaped."
The Queen Mother of the West's eyes narrowed slightly. She shifted her gaze away from the two manifestations and pointed her fingertip through empty air.
The Kunlun Mirror suspended above the palace's apex suddenly shuddered, rapidly shrinking to a palm-sized mirror. It transformed into a streak of light and landed in the Queen Mother of the West's hand.
The Queen Mother of the West held the Kunlun Mirror and gently reflected it toward the Kunlun Ruins before her.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
"No trace of the other two rats... Being able to evade the Kunlun Mirror's reflection—they do have some skill."
"What should we do next, my Lady?" The yellow-robed maid servant asked with concern. "The Kunlun Mirror cannot find them, and according to the deadline the Heavenly Lord gave us, we only have one day left. The Sword Ruins..."
"There's no time to waste on these two rats." The Queen Mother of the West replied coolly.
She raised the Kunlun Mirror into the air. Her form flickered, and a vague afterimage emerged from within her body, stepping into the mirror's surface and vanishing without a trace.
Her fingertip gently tapped, and the Kunlun Mirror automatically descended into the maid servant's hands.
"The deadline approaches. Today, this palace shall awaken the Kunlun Sword Ruins. I have no leisure to attend to external matters. You shall hold the Kunlun Mirror and act as administrator of the Jade Pool affairs in my stead.
I have left a fragment of my soul within the Kunlun Mirror. Should crisis arise, I shall strike."
The maid servant solemnly accepted the Kunlun Mirror and bowed to the Queen Mother of the West. "Understood."
The Queen Mother of the West waved her divine sleeve. Taking one final glance at the peak where the two manifestations stood, her form dissolved into countless spiritual lights and vanished from the immortal palace.
...
Outside the Jade Pool.
Two figures draped in fate-severing gauze swept through the shadows at the foot of the Jade Pool like phantoms.
The next moment, they had crossed hundreds of meters of altitude, passing silently as specters through the empty Pan Tao banquet grounds. They halted just before the inner perimeter of the Jade Pool.
Loki's narrow, slanted eyes narrowed, gazing intently at the emptiness before him, as if observing something invisible.
He extended his fingertip and gently pressed forward. An invisible ripple emanated from the void, blocking his entry.
"Great Xia gods' spiritual energy formations... still as troublesome as ever..." he coldly remarked.
"Then what should we do?" Si Xiaonan's form cloaked in shadow asked.
"This formation can bar others, but not me." Loki said coolly. "There is no place under heaven I cannot infiltrate..."
His eyes flickered with a streak of black light.
The invisible ripple before him suddenly stagnated. He grabbed Si Xiaonan's arm and swiftly passed through the ripple, standing inside the great formation.
By the time they had crossed, the ripple continued to ripple outward as if nothing had passed through—everything appeared completely normal.
Upon witnessing this scene, Si Xiaonan's eyes flashed with solemnity.
She was Loki's agent. Of Loki's methods, she was certainly aware...
He had used a deception to fool this Jade Pool formation.
