Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 890 - 776: War God Xing Tian
Chapter 890 -776: War God Xing Tian
After enduring three attacks from the Primordial Honor, an ordinary person would have long perished, but Xing Tian still laughed wildly, exuding a chilling battle spirit all over his body, charging towards the Primordial Honor. The Primordial Honor’s face was grim; he despised people like Xing Tian the most, those who clearly had weak strength yet refused to give up. For such people, there should be no mercy, only the most powerful attack to destroy them in one blow. So, watching Xing Tian rush forward once again, the Primordial Honor brandished the Myriad Blood Halberd in his hand, infusing it with the power of the Decision of Gods and Mortals. With the sharpness of the Myriad Blood Halberd coupled with the destructive power of the Decision of Gods and Mortals, this strike would surely annihilate Xing Tian completely.
Roaring, the two had already collided in an instant, and the Primordial Honor’s long halberd was like a blood dragon, after several twists and turns, it aimed directly at Xing Tian’s heart, stabbing downward. Meanwhile, Xing Tian still made no move to defend or dodge, facing the Myriad Blood Halberd that emitted endless blood radiance with his chest and charging forward, while wielding the Gan Qi in his hand, slicing fiercely towards the waist and abdomen of the Primordial Honor. The Primordial Honor felt the terrifying attack contained in the Gan Qi and recalled that Xing Tian had just shattered his shield; he immediately changed his move at the last moment. Although he knew that this stab would definitely take Xing Tian’s life, he wasn’t confident that his protective shield could withstand Xing Tian’s Gan Qi.
Therefore, at the last moment, he abandoned the attack on Xing Tian and retracted the Myriad Blood Halberd, blocking it by his side. This was Xing Tian’s combat style; the best attack is defense, and Xing Tian executed it thoroughly. The Gan Qi struck directly on the Myriad Blood Halberd, resulting in a sound explosion of metal clashing against metal. The next moment, everyone watching this battle was all dumbfounded. For they saw that Xing Tian’s axe had indeed sent the Primordial Honor flying. The entire body of the Primordial Honor seemed to have been hit by an enormous, irresistible force, being sent flying back and crashing to the ground.
With a “Wow” sound, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Looking at Xing Tian standing proudly in mid-air, the Primordial Honor’s face was nearly twisted. He was actually hurt by this damned, ant-like character, who unexpectedly injured him, and just that instant of Xing Tian’s explosive combat power left him unable to comprehend it. Meanwhile, all those witnessing this remained speechless for a long time; could Xing Tian actually be so strong? Even Sun Wukong was helpless to the point of almost being killed, yet Xing Tian managed to injure the Primordial Honor.
Slowly standing up, the Primordial Honor’s hands holding the Myriad Blood Halberd had already been cracked from the impact. Infinite anger caused him to unleash a series of roars, causing his aura to surge tremendously, as countless multicolored lines appeared mysteriously behind him. “Nine Decisions, the Law returns to me.” Before the words fell, the Primordial Honor’s aura increased once more, and a beast’s head coalesced behind him, which immediately lunged towards Xing Tian.
Xing Tian, holding the Gan Qi, prepared to withstand it with a smile on his face. The beast head condensed by momentum went straight through Xing Tian, then slowly dissipated in the air. Examining himself, numerous blood marks began appearing all over his body, but other than the persistent bleeding from previous injuries, he didn’t suffer any other external trauma. Large amounts of blood began oozing from under Xing Tian’s skin, turning him into a bloodied figure in the blink of an eye.
Xing Tian’s wild laughter persisted, showing no sign of weakness that would typically follow his injuries. The next moment, the Primordial Honor’s hands quickly twisted and turned, producing dark purple lines among the motion. With a sinister smile, the Primordial Honor then flicked towards the dark purple line, which instantly transformed into a thin wire, slicing through space, sweeping across Xing Tian’s left shoulder, causing both Xing Tian’s left arm and the Xing Tian Shield to soar into the air. Xing Tian’s left arm was severed. Originally intending to annihilate Xing Tian with a thunderous strike, the Primordial Honor then decided on a more ruthless approach to slowly kill Xing Tian piece by piece.
However, even with his left arm cut off, Xing Tian continued to laugh loudly. The Primordial Honor was in no hurry; he could see that Xing Tian seemed to have lost his attack power; that blow was apparently his limit. Moreover, the Primordial Honor could feel Xing Tian’s Life Flame burning rapidly, on the verge of extinguishing. In a short time, even if he didn’t strike again, Xing Tian would surely die. Yet the Primordial Honor felt puzzled, suspecting that his previous attack wasn’t enough to inflict such severe damage on Xing Tian.
After severing Xing Tian’s arm, the Primordial Honor did not stop as he spun the Myriad Blood Halberd in front of him once, then flung it forward, and immediately activated the Seventh Decision of the Nine Decisions, Confinement, sealing all of Xing Tian’s movements. This strike, the Primordial Honor did not aim at Xing Tian’s heart, but targeted his right leg. But just as the Myriad Blood Halberd was about to touch Xing Tian, it seemed as if he was suddenly yanked by an inexplicable force, falling straight downward. As everyone thought someone was trying to save Xing Tian, they discovered that the pulling force was merely a fleeting moment that disappeared quickly.
Moreover, due to Xing Tian’s body falling, the Myriad Blood Halberd that was aimed at his right leg instead pierced directly into his chest. Xing Tian had no defense on his body, so the Myriad Blood Halberd not only penetrated his chest but took away most of his internal organs. Losing his heart, lungs, and most of the internal organs, Xing Tian immediately spewed a large mouthful of blood, and the wild laughter ceased. Yet, the smile on Xing Tian’s face, that kind of do-or-die wild grin, did not vanish.
Just as the Myriad Blood Halberd withdrew from Xing Tian’s body, Xing Tian suddenly erupted with indescribable terrifying speed in mid-air; in a moment, before anyone, including the Primordial Honor, could react, Xing Tian had already reached the front of the Primordial Honor under powerful propulsion. The Gan Qi in his hand struck with full force towards the Primordial Honor. One could clearly see, along with the trajectory of the Gan Qi’s swing, a pitch-black crack appeared in the space of the Fallen Tomb. Carrying unmatched force, it hacked directly onto the crossed arms that the Primordial Honor put up to defend himself.
Then a crisp cracking sound was heard, as the shield in front of the Primordial Honor shattered instantly, and the Gan Qi violently chopped the Primordial Honor away. Meanwhile, the Myriad Blood Halberd that had circled behind Xing Tian, from left to right flashed blood-red light, slicing Xing Tian in half at the waist. Xing Tian, following the Primordial Honor, fell to the ground. The battle between the two actually concluded within moments, bringing a result that seemed both expected and unexpected.
What was expected was Xing Tian’s defeat; what was unexpected was Xing Tian’s immense combat strength. In the final blow just now, Xing Tian’s explosive attack power exceeded everyone’s expectations, including the Primordial Honor. Especially Xing Tian’s sudden yet powerful attack, coming when he was already gravely injured and near death. freewebnσvel.cѳm
This is Xing Tian’s innate ability, truly growing stronger with greater opposition. The interpretation of Xing Tian’s innate ability is such that as long as he is injured, his strength will increase to varying extents depending on the severity of his injuries. The first time he was injured, his speed increased twofold; the second time he was injured, his strength surged fourfold. On the third injury, his strength surged eightfold, at which point he shattered the Primordial Honor’s protective shield.
When the Primordial Honor’s bestial aura devoured Xing Tian, and then the Myriad Blood Halberd pierced his chest, by sustaining an injury so critical it threatened his very life, Xing Tian’s combat power surged sixteen times, but it was a power that lasted for only a single move, returning to its original state thereafter, which also explained why the Primordial Honor believed Xing Tian to have lost his combat power after that third attack.
Using such overwhelming power does not come without a cost, which is the burning of his Life Flame. The Life Flame uses life force as a source, igniting violently to evoke a certain ability, and when the Life Flame extinguishes, so does the person. Back then, when Chi You was killed by the Yellow Emperor, Xing Tian, in his fury, single-handedly wielded an axe and charged into Heaven. Witnessing this, the Yellow Emperor engaged him in battle with the Xuanyuan Sword.
They battled for several days, to the point where the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their luster, continuing from Heaven all the way to the region of Mount Changyang. Ultimately, Xing Tian was outmatched and had his head cut off by the Yellow Emperor’s sword, yet at that moment, he ignited his Life Flame. At that moment, his innate divine ability was activated, allowing him to remain undying even after decapitation. He utilized his nipples as eyes, and his navel as a mouth to resurrect. Therefore, Xing Tian was born to fight; he does not fear death, but rather, he fears having no enemies.
(The name “Xing Tian” means: “Tian here refers to sky or Emperor; Xing means to slay. Tian represents the Celestial Emperor; thus ‘Xing Tian’ signifies the vow to slay the Celestial Emperor for revenge. Xing Tian’s weapon, Gan Qi, is actually two instruments: Gan is a shield, Qi is a threatening axe. Therefore, it is often referred to as Xing Tian’s axe and shield. The book considers Gan Qi as an axe, while the shield is called the Xing Tian Shield, hence this annotation.) (To be continued.
