I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 944 - 238: Changing Fate for Survival
Chapter 944: Chapter 238: Changing Fate for Survival
With solid ground beneath him, Tang Luo finally stabilized his stance and was able to start counterattacking.
Seeing the appearance of the black sphere soul, Liaoyin’s eyes also revealed a hint of joy, thinking that the outcome was already decided.
Generally speaking, the fundamental secret techniques of warriors from the Fierce Realm are designed around the soul, so the soul also represents the strongest state of a warrior from the Fierce Realm.
Usually, summoning the soul signifies the moment of decisive battle, and at this point, Victorious Venerable Liaoyin had just used the Eight Auspicious Secret Techniques and was at ease, while the physical art grandmaster had run out of tricks and could only use his fundamental secret techniques, which was enough to be taken as a signal of victory.
Although he did not know what exactly this black sphere soul was, Liaoyin was utterly confident because the Yin-Yang Fish from the Eight Auspicious was a top-grade secret technique specially designed to break souls!
In the scattering winds of the clash between the Victorious Standard and Tang Luo’s fists, no one noticed a gold and a silver light tracing mystical arcs aimed at the cumbersome black sphere soul beneath Tang Luo’s feet.
Like gold and silver swords piercing into the black sphere soul, the Yin-Yang Fish could shatter spiritual senses and tear apart souls. Even the self-aware and perfect Arhat Golden Body would have to accept defeat if it encountered Liaoyin’s Fish.
Watching the oblivious Tang Luo, Liaoyin imperceptibly shook his head, sighing at the disparity in insight.
Warriors from noble clans, even after breaking through to the Fierce Realm, have yet to transcend the patterns of shedding the mundane in their combat methods, thinking that as long as the body is strong, all will be well. Few ever consider protecting their souls.
Only after truly suffering a loss do they realize that soul protection is even more important than physical strength because if the body is severely damaged, the soul can still control spiritual power to sustain life, seeking methods to prolong existence. But once the soul is severely injured, there is nothing but regret, with no chance for escape.
Many strong individuals who boast invincible bodies are killed because their souls are extinguished. Most of the powerful bodies turned into Corpse Refiners came to be that way.
Without a doubt, Liaoyin regarded Tang Luo as a grandmaster of physical arts emerging from a remote noble clan, thinking that the Yin-Yang Fish would ensure victory. However, when the unbeatable Yin-Yang Fish entered the black sphere soul, the result startled him.
Despite being a supreme secret technique targeting the soul, it seemed trapped in a quagmire, unable to move. No matter how hard they tried, they were immovable.
Inside the soul was an immense pressure, as if wanting to crush the Fish. If they weren’t inherently spiritual beings, they might have already been reduced to dust at this moment.

This shocking turn of events caused Liaoyin to panic. In his distraction, his thoughts were disconnected, and his strength faltered. Tang Luo seized the opportunity and launched a punch that formed a column of wind, bypassing the Victorious Standard and striking towards the face.
With a strong soul to act as solid ground, Tang Luo’s punch was far more devastating than just disrupting the golden wheel by thirty percent. Knowing he couldn’t take it head-on, Liaoyin infused his body with spiritual power and instantly completed the spirit transformation of his body. As the column of wind struck true, Liaoyin was dispersed into tens of thousands of Buddha lights, eliciting continuous exclamations of astonishment from the Asura crowd.
Disassembling and then coalescing once more, the tough body highly coordinated by the soul was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. As a technique often used by grandmasters to evade damage, when applied by Liaoyin, it seemed even more deft.
Utilizing the extremely swift characteristic of Spiritual Power, Liaoyin not only dodged Tang Luo’s flurry of punches, but also created a considerable distance between them. With a mind free of concern, just as he was about to coalesce his Spiritual Power into one, the prophecy of his Fate Seeing ability, which he had cultivated to minor completeness, suddenly rang true, and a vision abruptly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
The divinely dignified, Victorious Venerable Liaoyin, stood proudly in the sky with his Spiritual Power condensed, when suddenly a master man on a distant black sphere expelled a Blood River Divine Sword from his mouth.
This blood-colored Divine Sword would slice through the skies and meet Liaoyin’s condensed spiritual body at exactly the same moment in that piece of heaven, as precisely coordinated as if calculated, and the ever-victorious Victorious Venerable would be struck in the face by the Blood River Divine Sword. Then, the highly concentrated Blood Fiend that the Feitian Sect had been brewing for thousands of years would corrode his spiritualized flesh body and annihilate his head, leading to the downfall of Victorious Venerable.
If not for Fate Seeing, the scene in Liaoyin’s Sea of Consciousness would have become reality in an instant. However, since Fate Seeing had given the premonition, it meant he could change his fate to survive!
A day has thirty hours, one hour has twenty minutes, one minute has twenty moments, and one moment has twenty instants.
To change fate and seek survival in such a brief span of time, Liaoyin had to make a decision. The convergence of Spirit had already begun; it was too late to spiritualize as in the next instant, the Blood River Divine Sword would pierce through his skull. Since avoidance was impossible, he could only seek life through facing death!
Enduring the agony of his soul being torn apart, Liaoyin severed his already coalescing Spiritual Power and with an unwavering will, merged the remaining Spiritual Power into his divine soul, summoning his fundamental secret technique, the Vajra Arhat Dharma Aspect!
All of this was accomplished in an instant. When the Blood River Divine Sword reached the sky where Liaoyin had solidified his form, what appeared was not an unguarded great monk, but a Vajra Arhat blocking his face with his arms!
Any strategy that speaks of life and death without considering quantity is nonsense. Blood Fiend and the power of Buddha inherently restrain each other. With Liaoyin’s pure Buddhist power and the boost from the secret technique, his Golden Body was nearly indestructible, except perhaps by top-tier profound Spirit Arts, which could barely scratch it.
Yet the Innate Divine Sword, which gathered two currents of Innate Qi, was already a force with a lethal power close to top-tier profound Spirit Arts, not to mention its menacing increase with the massive infusion of highly concentrated Blood Fiend, elevating its might to another level.
If one would call the explosive finger force the Blood Asura God Shocking Finger, then the Blood River Divine Sword expelled through the Spirit Art of Breath Arrow would be known as the God-Slaying Strike!
The Blood River Divine Sword did not only shatter the Spiritual Protection but also evaporated Liaoyin’s Spiritual Power along with his arms. However, by blocking with his arms, Liaoyin had managed to seek survival, turning into a streak of golden light and avoiding the Divine Sword.
The White Lotus Divine swiftly approached, pulling at his body, while the endless nectar from the Gem-polished Vase descended upon him. Standing on the lotus pedestal, Liaoyin looked down at his elbows which were severed at the joint, his face expressionless as he gazed towards the physical art Grandmaster on the distant black sphere.
At that moment, Tang Luo looked exceedingly horrifying. The Blood River Divine Sword had corroded half of the Gou Chen Mask, revealing half of Tang Luo’s face, but what remained of that half could no longer be called a face, only a bloody hole. His lips, teeth, and tongue were all gone, leaving a bleeding wound that allowed a glimpse of the white jawbone and the bone of the tongue.
“Gou Chen, your cultivation is impressive. Since you came into this world, you are the first to show me the face of death. After today, regardless of the outcome, your great name will surely resound throughout Buddha’s Country!”
“You flatter me, Master.”
Although his tongue was gone, Tang Luo spoke unhindered because Gou Chen’s voice had always been simulated by his vibrations of Spiritual Power. You could hear his hoarse and grating voice state coolly, “In my opinion, this battle is already over. The Master must realize the Blood Fiend that clings to his hand like a parasitic worm is continuously eroding his spiritual body. If you don’t quickly find a way to remove it, your spiritualized flesh is doomed. Does the Master really wish to forsake the hope of reaching the other shore for a filthy and hypocritical Feitian Sect?”
