System's Super Sect-Chapter 682 - 677. Four-Vortex Diagram, Earth Level School Vein Skill! (First Update)
"No!"
A scream sliced through the air like a thunderclap.
Wen Ping stood outside the Vast Auction House, his expression unchanged, seemingly oblivious.
As the Devouring Beast drew closer, Long Yue urgently shouted, "Wen Ping, killing my brother won’t accomplish anything. With him gone, it’s even less likely my father will agree."
For some reason, she felt this skeletal creature could devour Long Ye.
If Long Ye were to die, it wouldn’t just be about their father’s disapproval of her sister being with Wen Yan.
This matter would certainly spiral toward a worse outcome.
By then, things would become uncontrollable.
Wen Ping responded calmly, "Disagree? So what?"
Wasn’t the Long Family looking down on the Immortal Sect?
Given time, making the Immortal Sect a force that even the Long Family must admire is totally achievable.
Would the Long Family still block this marriage then?
"Release my brother first, we can talk things over slowly." Seeing Wen Ping unmoved, Long Yue continued to persuade.
Wen Ping answered, "When he was about to kill my father, why didn’t you step out and say ’talk things over?’ Do you think Wen Ping is easy to deal with, or do you think I fear your Long Family?"
Long Yue shook her head hastily, "No, just make it stop, listen to me..."
At that moment, the Devouring Beast was already close to the cage.
Long Ye gripped his numb fists tightly, then frantically punched the Bone Spike Cage as if he were a humanoid giant beast. The thunderous sounds echoed nonstop.
What Long Yue sensed, as the person involved, Long Ye naturally felt even more intensely.
He dared not boast about surviving the skeletal monster’s attack safely. In truth, he wasn’t confident about surviving.
However, as a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted, Long Ye had his dignity. He wouldn’t sit by and wait for death; he’d rather fight to the death!
The next moment, the Devouring Beast opened its mouth wide.
Devouring Power suddenly erupted within the cage, rushing in from all directions like seawater, relentlessly compressing Long Ye.
Long Ye’s action of pounding the Bone Spike Cage abruptly halted, his whole body being squeezed into a huddle. The stubborn look in his eyes drove him to resist with all his might, but apart from moving his shoulders slightly, nothing else could free itself from the compressing force.
What kind of power is this?
Why is it so overbearing?
This was Long Ye’s only thought remaining in his mind.
After a few breaths, the massive pressure suddenly seemed to ignite, starting to explode around him.
The first explosion made Long Ye grimace in pain.
Immediately, scenes of his guards exploding into blood mist flashed through his mind, and a strong sense of unease quickly flooded his heart.
The subsequent explosions made Long Ye suffer intolerable pain. Despite cultivating to the perfect Battle Intent Spirit Body ranked 1806 for many years, the agony was still hard to bear. In an instant, his body was blasted into a bloody mess, completely unrecognizable.
The Devouring Beast froze, stood with its mouth open as if saying, "Not dead?"
Then it turned to look at Wen Ping, eying Long Ye several times, seemingly perplexed. It turned back again to Wen Ping, scrutinizng Long Ye, as if seeking forgiveness.
Seeing this, Wen Ping couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This Half-Step Earth Unrestricted outside the Heaven and Earth Lake truly had some skills.
The Devouring Beast from the Undead Hell seemingly couldn’t swallow him in one bite.
Upon careful reflection, Wen Ping promptly understood why.
After ten devourings, the Devouring Beast’s amplified Devouring Power becomes greatly diminished, lacking the initial dominance.
However, even if Long Ye barely survived, he wasn’t faring well.
After the baptism of Devouring Power, Long Ye’s body was already skinless, his whole figure dyed crimson with blood, resembling an evil bloodied man from a distance.
Witnessing this scene from their hiding place in the Vast Auction House, Li Bao and others felt terror like waves crashing over them.
Looking at Wen Ping, a sudden sense of reverence surged from within.
This is indeed a big figure from beyond Heaven and Earth Lake, representing a power greater than Heaven and Earth Lake itself. Even the three Half-Step Earth Unrestricted experts from the Hundred Sects Alliance had to show respect, yet this skeletal creature called by Wen Ping at the door humbled them like children.
Such a thing has never happened in the thousand-plus years since forces from outside Heaven and Earth Lake appeared on its stage, nor did anyone dare to consider it.
Today’s event was certainly worthy of being recorded in the Heaven and Earth Lake’s annals.
And as the closest witnesses, they could boast about it for a century!
Meanwhile, curiosity piqued about this youth’s identity grew within them.
Who precisely is he?
At the same time, Wen Yan witnessed this in the Vast Auction House.
He was still just surprised and couldn’t believe that the Wen Ping before him was his former idle, good-for-nothing son. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Now, Wen Yan was excited.
"Actually, your son is not who he was before."
The words spoken by Wen Ping back then floated unexpectedly to mind, echoing in the ears.
It was then he understood.
Then he realized the true meaning of Wen Ping’s words back then.
"Brother!"
Suddenly, Long Yue’s shout shattered the brief silence.
Just as Long Yue was about to rush to Long Ye, the skinless and battered Long Ye suddenly spoke, "Don’t come!"
Long Yue asked again, "Brother, are you alright?"
"I won’t die!" Long Ye replied, then suddenly raised his head revealing a face cold and drenched in blood, lifting a hand as the blood-colored Giant Axe quietly lying dozens of meters away soared back into Long Ye’s hand as though returning home.
At that second, Long Ye suddenly shouted.
"Wen Ping!"
Wen Ping stood motionless, gazing at Long Ye with an exceedingly calm look.
Long Ye sneered fiercely, exuding an evil aura unrelated to death, and said to Wen Ping, "You’ve completely enraged me!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of the Vibrating Vein reverberated.
Then, four blue vortexes started spinning on Long Ye’s chest.
Once the Four-Vortex Diagram was activated, Long Ye suddenly began to emanate a red glow, drifting like smoke across his body.
His aura was climbing rapidly!
Wen Ping said, "Oh... Four-Vortex Diagram."
Seeing the Four-Vortex Diagram for the first time, Wen Ping closely observed Long Ye, wanting to know how much power the diagram could augment onto the Vein Technique.
But noticing that Long Ye did not intend to unleash the Death Baptism, Wen Ping quickly asked the system for assistance.
Soon, the system’s voice sounded by his ear, "According to the detection, the amplification from the Four-Vortex Diagram on Long Ye’s chest is at eighty percent."
"Only eighty percent?"
The Three-Vortex Diagram already had a seventy percent boost.
Only eighty percent for the Four-Vortex Diagram, isn’t that a bit low?
The system promptly responded, "The quality of the Vortex Diagram varies, with the highest quality capable of enhancing the Vein Technique power by ninety percent. It’s evident that the diagram absorbed by Long Ye is not of high quality."
Wen Ping said, "It seems that outside the Heaven and Earth Lake, the Four-Vortex Diagrams are also scarce. If Zi Ran could become a Four-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan..."
Ending the conversation with the system, Long Ye had transformed that red Qi into a light shield, enveloping himself entirely.
"Unrivaled Killing Intent - First Fury Realm!"
With a wave of the Giant Axe, Long Ye stood amidst the ruins like a Slaughter War God.
All traces of disarray vanished!
The killing intent, forming a circular shield, subtly contended with the deathly aura of the Devouring Beast, no longer possessing its previous overwhelming strength. Upon sensing this shift, the Devouring Beast contracted its body, transforming into a massive sphere that leapt high, crashing towards Long Ye. Long Ye roared and wielded his axe to counter.
In an instant, the two engaged in close combat.
The deafening clash reverberated, the subsequent shockwave leveled the few remaining rafters of the building.
For a short while, the two were evenly matched.
Watching this scene, Wen Ping expressed slight astonishment, "An Earth Level School Vein Skill. Its release has enhanced defense, power, and speed collectively, which means the Long family members are not as weak as they seem. Even in the First Fury Realm, to such a degree. In the subsequent realms, the enhancement might be greater."
As soon as Wen Ping finished speaking, a voice came from Long Ye’s side.
"Unrivaled Killing Intent - Second Fury Realm!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Along with the trembling of the Meridian Gate, a red killing intent like smoke climbed onto the Blood Axe.
With a single axe strike, it was not as simple as it seemed. The Devouring Beast, using its bony hand to block this strike, felt a subsequent force emanating from the Blood Axe.
This bizarre force came from below!
As the Blood Axe descended, a stone pile erupted from beneath the Devouring Beast’s feet, fanning out in a shape that extended nearly 30 meters.
The sudden protrusion of the stone pile lifted the Devouring Beast, causing it to stagger and almost fall. Fortunately, the beast had four arms and managed to stabilize itself with two, but it couldn’t evade the Blood Axe already descending, its spine getting struck hard by it.
Crack!
The sound of bones cracking echoed.
A fracture appeared in the vertebra struck by the Blood Axe.
Of course, it wasn’t over yet.
The stone pile beneath continued to rise sharply, lifting the Devouring Beast further.
These piles, though lacking the strength of the Blood Axe, were still not to be underestimated. The massive Devouring Beast was unable to maintain its balance and toppled sideways to the ground.
Long Ye’s face lit up with joy.
"Unrivaled Killing Intent - Third Fury Realm!"
"Watch as I chop every single bone of yours to pieces, axe by axe!"
The full-body augmentation from the Unrivaled Killing Intent First Fury Realm was only ten percent.
The Second Fury Realm’s full-body augmentation was just twenty percent.
So Long Ye decided to use the Third Fury Realm, directly maximizing the boost to thirty percent!
With the thirty percent enhancement, plus the Four-Vortex Diagram’s augmentation of Unrivaled Killing Intent, he was confident he could crush every bone of this skeletal creature.
He would reclaim all the humiliation previously suffered!
Suddenly, Wen Ping’s voice arrived.
"Is this all you’ve got? Seems like next time, I’ll have to catch your husband."
The fallen Devouring Beast leaped up violently upon hearing these words, turning back to Wen Ping as if begging him not to.
Seeing Wen Ping’s unyielding gaze, the empress within the Devouring Beast hurriedly turned back to Long Ye.
Seeing Long Ye enhanced once again, the empress within the Devouring Beast went wild!
Charging directly at Long Ye!
As if determined to go down together.
