Chapter 790: Pact Formed, Spirits Descend, Mutual Contradictions
Chapter 790: Pact Formed, Spirits Descend, Mutual Contradictions
Qin Muye saw a mighty torrent between heaven and earth flow through his pact with the Immortal in the Mirror, a mysterious blessing descending from the void, causing his body to continuously expand.
He did not feel much discomfort, even though he was an avatar, he still possessed some of the knowledge of his true self, instantly mastering the 9th-rank power.
"Though it appears to be 9th rank, it is not truly 9th rank," Qin Muye quickly understood his state. He possessed all the strength of the 9th rank, including the essence, but this essence was not his own, but rather a blessing from the outside.
The situation with the Spirit Emperor was similar, except that the Spirit Emperor, through long-term refinement, had fully integrated it, whereas Qin Muye had just begun and thus lacked the necessary refinement. However, with the experience of his true self, he did not feel unfamiliar.
The only issue was that he had to fight through the Immortal in the Mirror, which made him a bit uncomfortable, given that his current identity was more of a Spirit Master.
In the dark night sky, a bright flame illuminated half the horizon, and a terrifying phoenix, reborn from the flames, swiftly approached.
This meant the Spirit Emperor had arrived.
With such a commotion, if the Spirit Emperor had not noticed, his 9th-rank reputation would be in vain.
"A newly born Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, you have surprised Me," the Spirit Emperor leaped down from the phoenix and landed in front of Qin Muye.
From the shadows, an Underworld White Tiger leaped out, standing beside the Spirit Emperor, its massive body adorned with terrifying patterns.
The ground could feel a clear writhing, and numerous tree roots penetrated the Yi Wang Palace, a giant tree emerging, its branches and leaves gently swaying.
"Tsk, is all this necessary? I'm just a passerby," Qin Muye said, holding the Immortal in the Mirror. At this moment, the Immortal in the Mirror had all its passive abilities activated, drawing the causal and destiny energy of the world to form a defensive posture.
Although the Spirit Emperor had not brought his entire force, only three spirit beasts, Qin Muye was still a bit nervous. This was a two-on-four fight, and worse, the Immortal in the Mirror was still a weakling, likely unable to hold back even one of them.
So, his only option was to try to avoid getting beaten up.
Struggling for the Dao did not mean he had to fight to the death; he could also cause trouble behind the scenes.
"You killed My son. What do you have to say for yourself?" The Spirit Emperor's tone was calm, implying that Qin Muye needed to give an explanation.
The Spirit Emperor was actually aware of the Yi Wang incident, not only tacitly approving it but also providing secret assistance.
As for the people who died? He did not really care. If the entire city could be exchanged for a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the imperial family, it would be a very valuable trade.
Without the Spirit Emperor's cooperation, how could the Yi Wang have spread the Chao Hua Festival so widely? He had been monitoring everything, but the final outcome was unexpected because of the interference of causal and destiny energy, and it was Qin Muye's true self who took action, leading to this result.
Given the unequal match, the Spirit Emperor could not possibly win.
"First, the Yi Wang is not dead; he's still lying down below. Second, your grandson is also alive; look, he's crawling around like a maggot," Qin Muye indicated that he should not be fooled, as the deaths were not his concern.
"Are you saying you refuse to give Me an explanation?" The Spirit Emperor's tone carried a hint of regret.
If it had been the unknown veteran Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal who entered his Great Spirit Treasury, he would indeed have been wary. However, seeing that Qin Muye had just broken through, he naturally had to assert his dominance, and if possible, even kill him.
He did not forbid the appearance of Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals; if they were part of the Great Spirit Imperial Family, it would be fine, as they could become a strength for the Great Spirit. However, this was not the case now, so he had to kill, cripple, or capture Qin Muye if possible, and definitely prevent him from escaping.
Moreover, Qin Muye had snatched the opportunity for the Great Spirit Imperial Family, so the Spirit Emperor could not possibly let him go.
There was already one threat; he could not allow another to emerge in the Great Spirit.
"Ah, must we fight to the death?" Qin Muye did not expect the Spirit Emperor to be so resolute in wanting to eliminate him.
Well, actually, he also had the urge to kill the Spirit Emperor, but he had always suppressed it.
He suspected that the Spirit Emperor's hostility towards him was because the empowered pact on his body was trying to absorb and merge with the corresponding part on the Spirit Emperor's body.
In Qin Muye's eyes, the Spirit Emperor was no longer just a Spirit Master but more like a manifestation of the Spirit World's pact.
"No, just you will die," the Spirit Emperor, unaware of his own anomaly, believed he was removing a threat for the Great Spirit. He did not realize that his actions were problematic.
"If I were to give an explanation, what do you think would be a good one?" Qin Muye changed his approach, trying to calculate the extent of the influence on the Spirit Emperor.
The Spirit Emperor frowned and then fell silent. He was inclined to kill Qin Muye to eliminate any future threats. However, his rational side told him that he might not be able to kill him and that it would be better to keep him alive as an ally rather than exterminate him completely.
He did not think there was anything wrong with his thoughts and instead believed he should find a win-win solution.
For example, a cleaner kill?
"An explanation? How about your life?" As soon as the Spirit Emperor spoke, the Underworld White Tiger instantly pounced at Qin Muye.
Qin Muye had been prepared for this. Instant teleportation + spatial slicing, within a few thousand miles, everything shattered into endless spatial chaos.
The Underworld White Tiger's powerful body ignored all the spatial chaos slicing through it, roaring as the underworld wind blew over.
Qin Muye was not concerned. He manipulated the Immortal in the Mirror to form a Klein bottle with spatial slicing, redirecting the underworld wind back through the bottle's mouth. Then, he used a Mobius strip to create a maze to control the approaching phoenix reborn from the flames.
The Heavenly Azure Sacred Tree was the most challenging. Its massive trunk swept through the spatial chaos, relying on sheer force.
The first two spirit beasts could be slightly resisted using special spatial techniques, but the Heavenly Azure Sacred Tree was different. It also had cosmic attributes, and the fight was uncertain.
The Spirit Emperor's four spirit beasts had very comprehensive attributes: the Underworld White Tiger's metal and death, the phoenix's fire and life, and the Heavenly Azure Sacred Tree's wood and space. If the Pillar Giant Crab were present, adding water and earth, it would create an endless cycle, and Qin Muye could be worn down to death.
The reason the Pillar Giant Crab was not there was to guard the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit was currently undergoing high-pressure reforms. If everyone left, and some noble families or officials took advantage of the situation, it could lead to total failure, which would be a significant loss.
However, after seeing Qin Muye's abilities, the Spirit Emperor was a bit regretful, but it was too late. Instead, he continued to use the Heavenly Azure Sacred Tree to intercept Qin Muye.
As long as he could hold back for a moment, the Underworld White Tiger and the phoenix could break through the interception.
Qin Muye's methods were excellent, but the problem was that the two spirit beasts could directly break through with brute force. No matter how ingenious his designs, they would all be shattered.
"Wood attribute, let's see if you can withstand attacks from metal and fire attributes!" Qin Muye knew it was time to go all out. There was a way to break the deadlock.
The wood attribute of the Heavenly Azure Sacred Tree was its greatest weakness. The Immortal in the Mirror had the Mirror Golden Light, a basic spirit beast technique, and it was at full level.
If it were at the 8th rank, it might have been ineffective, but now at the 9th rank, with Qin Muye's personal control, it was a direct attribute suppression.
As for the spatial attribute, he had it covered, ensuring the opponent could not use it.
From the small Eight Trigram Mirror, a dazzling golden light burst forth, instantly piercing the Heavenly Azure Sacred Tree that was blocking him.
This golden light not only broke the blockade but also had the strength to pierce through the sky, causing a massive tremor throughout the Spirit World.
"I'll take my leave first, farewell!"
Qin Muye immediately teleported away, but he did not just run. He left a trail of Mirror Golden Light behind. In an instant, the light erupted again, and at that moment, the Underworld White Tiger and the phoenix had just broken through the spatial blockade Qin Muye left behind, and they were hit with a full blast.
