Martial World Chapter 1318-1319

Chapter 1318 – The Climactic Battle

&h.e.l.lip;

&h.e.l.lip;

&h.e.l.lip;

“They are waiting for Lin Ming to wake up and compete with Frost Dream before they continue with the final battle? There must be some mistake!”

As many spectators heard this, they were immediately roused to anger. Many of them had come to the First Martial Meeting specifically to watch Frost Dream, not Lin Ming. What did it matter to them if Lin Ming finished his matches or not? Moreover, Lin Ming had injured himself because he was trying to show off. If he missed his matches because of his wounds, how could anyone but himself be blamed?

“The referees must have gone senile! If Lin Ming doesn’t wake up for a month, does that mean we have to wait for a month? If he doesn’t wake up for two months, do we have to wait for two months? Also, does anyone even think that Lin Ming can defeat Frost Dream? Frost Dream is someone who is said to far surpa.s.s Hang Chi, and Lin Ming lost miserably to Hang Chi, even suffering severe soul wounds in the meantime, so how could he possibly battle Frost Dream? They want us to take such a long break just to wait for him to fight a little teaser match?”

“This is the intent handed down by the two great Empyreans. If you have complaints about how this First Martial Meeting is being conducted then why don’t you go and bring it up with them?”

As someone said this, the heroic young elite who was speaking before suddenly shut up. Go and complain to an Empyrean? He wouldn’t do that if he had 100 times the courage. Why would an Empyrean bother with the ideas of someone so unimportant. They wouldn’t even bother glancing in his direction.

“I heard that Lin Ming was placed in a time enchantment. One day out here is numerous days inside. He should wake up soon.

“Time enchantment? Is that okay? If he hasn’t woken up even after spending several months inside, then what’s going on? Is he dead?”

Many people were dissatisfied with the current situation but there was nothing they could do.

Then, like this, five days pa.s.sed!

From the moment when Lin Ming entered the time enchantment, one year and three months had pa.s.sed.

“It’s almost been 500 days. How come Lin Ming still hasn’t awakened?”

Deep within Vast Universe Heavenly Palace, Empyrean Vast Universe frowned. It was clear that Lin Ming was suffering some sort of extremely complex situation, but his time deep in slumber had surpa.s.sed Empyrean Vast Universe’s estimations. “Divine Dream, could there have been something that happened to Lin Ming that damaged his spiritual sea and caused him to not be able to wake up?”

Divine Dream was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “Have your disciple adjust the rate of the time enchantment to 1:150. Also, there is no need for Hang Chi and Frost Dream’s compet.i.tion to drag on for such a long time. Once Lin Ming wakes up he can compete with Frost Dream.”

Divine Dream’s words affirmed that Lin Ming would definitely wake up. Empyrean Vast Universe could only nod his head.

The reason that Divine Dream stepped forwards to conduct this First Martial Meeting was to a large extent because of Frost Dream. She also insisted that Frost Dream fight each and every great battle. And towards Lin Ming, Divine Dream had a faint premonition that his deep slumber was related to the Divine Seal Altar and wasn’t as simple as it seemed from the outside.

Like this, Lin Ming would surely become a good match for Frost Dream.

After Xin Shenzi obtained the orders from above, he sped up the flow of time in the enchantment to 150 times.

Within a time enchantment, the more exaggerated the flow of time was, the more unstable the Laws within would be. In a time enchantment that ran 150 times faster than normal, it was hard to enlighten oneself on the Laws of the universe because they were simply too chaotic.

However, in his deep sleep, Lin Ming was absorbing the Laws that Empyrean Divine Seal had left behind. Because these Laws weren’t related to the outside, there weren’t any problems.

The four young jade bunny race girls attended to Lin Ming with utter care. As Lin Ming was sleeping, his face was determined and das.h.i.+ng, but his aura was also gentle and soft. From his appearance, it was hard to imagine the great dangers he was experiencing in his dream.

In the dreamland s.p.a.ce, the sphere of energy within Lin Ming’s inner world had expanded to the limit; it was ready to erupt at any given moment!

Once it erupted, the impact on Lin Ming’s body would be unimaginable. If he couldn’t withstand it then his inner world would completely collapse and he would die.

If he was able to withstand it, then after that true essence exploded, he could condense it into a black hole seed and thus begin the first crucial step to cultivating the Divine Seal Art!

Lin Ming had already condensed the energy sphere for an entire month. Now, he was still adjusting himself, waiting, optimizing the energy to most the accurate proportion. This was an extremely risky step. Without certain a.s.surances, Lin Ming wouldn’t play around with his own life.

As Lin Ming was cultivating without end, on the arena stage, Hang Chi and Frost Dream’s climactic battle was soon about to start!

This battle certainly had its own gambling bet. Vast Universe Heavenly Palace had already revealed their compensation rate. Frost Dream’s victory had a compensation rate of 1.3 and Hang Chi’s victory had a compensation rate of 2.7.

Most people favored Frost Dream but there were also many people that favored Hang Chi. After all, Hang Chi was a very low profile individual, and in every match he fought so far he had always held back and never won in an excessive manner. Thus, it was hard to tell just where the limits of Hang Chi’s strength lay.

Moreover, when Hang Chi had fought Lin Ming and given him a severe soul wound, making him fall unconscious until even now, this matter had caused many people to hold Hang Chi in even higher regard.

Lin Ming was a freak of nature after all; even Xiao Moxian had lost to him. For Hang Chi to defeat Lin Ming to such a degree was enough to prove how strong Hang Chi was.

Also, Frost Dream’s compensation rate was simply far too low to have any fun. Even if one put down one billion they would only win 300 million; there simply wasn’t any meaning to this. Thus, many people bet on Hang Chi.

“Junior-apprentice Sister Frost Dream, this poor monk greets you.”

Hang Chi stood on the arena stage, bowing respectfully.

Frost Dream’s eyes were calm and cold, her clothes floating around her. Even facing Hang Chi in what could be called the most important battle of the First Martial Meeting, her mood didn’t change at all. It was as if nothing in this world was able to change that look of hers.

“Match, begin!”

As Vast Cosmos announced this, the several hundred million spectators in the arena all began to wildly cheer.

Hang Chi took several steps back as a ma.s.sive golden Buddha chart appeared behind him. A golden spinning halo of light also appeared beneath his feet. This was the Wheel of Samsara!

From the very start, Hang Chi displayed the Wheel of Samsara. One could see from this just how highly he thought of Frost Dream.

“This poor monk has heard of Fairy Frost Dream’s renowned name for a long time. But, I have yet to have the good fortune of sparring with Junior-apprentice Frost Dream. This time can be considered as a wish fulfilled.”

In Hang Chi’s eyes, a rare tint of fighting spirit s.h.i.+ned.

As an ascetic, Hang Chi usually lived a modest and pious life. He had a naturally low profile temperament that avoided disputes and grudges. But, he too was a young heroic elite. To meet a similar opponent, that was something to feel excited over. This was what it meant to find a perfect rival; there was nothing better than that.

Frost Dream’s entire body flowed with dreamy streams of water. She was using her divine dream s.p.a.ce!

Up until now, Frost Dream had only used three moves to remain undefeated in the Divine Realm First Martial Meeting. One was illusions, the second was the Ruling Spirit Art, and the third was the divine dream s.p.a.ce!

To deal with weaklings, Frost Dream only needed to glance at them to have them be lost in illusions and achieve instant victory.

But to deal with powerhouses like Xiao Moxian and Dragon Fang, she merely needed to envelop them in the divine dream s.p.a.ce to win.

Hu – !

A cold air began to lift upwards. The entire timeless G.o.d stone arena was covered with a s.h.i.+mmering layer of condensed frost.

Frost Dream’s body floated in the air. Her feet were bare and her icy blue hair danced around her. The divine dream s.p.a.ce had covered the entire arena!

As long as one stepped in this s.p.a.ce, that was the same as stepping into Frost Dream’s ‘dream’. Within this dream, Frost Dream was G.o.d. All within it had to withstand the judgment of her will!

Xiu xiu xiu!

Vicious nightmare beasts began to appear within the divine dream s.p.a.ce, one after another, all of them madly roaring towards Hang Chi!

Hang Chi gathered his palms together, a smile on his face, “The divine dream s.p.a.ce is truly magnificent. Then, this poor monk will make his move!”

As Hang Chi spoke, the Wheel of Samsara beneath his feet shot outwards, turning into a ma.s.sive Dharmic wheel that hurtled into the sky towards Frost Dream.

Ka ka ka!

The Dharmic wheel rapidly spun. As it flew forwards, all of the nightmare beasts it pa.s.sed were cut apart, their blood sprinkling down!

If any of these nightmare beasts were chosen, any one of them had the ability to enter the top 20 rankings of the First Martial Meeting. But in front of Hang Chi’s Wheel of Samsara, they were nothing more than golems of mud, easily cut down!

In an instant, the Wheel of Samsara had arrived in front of Frost Dream!

The Wheel of Samsara was both a material attack and soul attack. But, Hang Chi was well aware that soul attacks would have no effect on Frost Dream. He could only rely on a material attack.

As the audience saw the Wheel of Samsara about to cut Frost Dream in half, many of her supporters, even though they knew that she had yet to reveal her true strength, cried out in sheer horror and alarm. This was still a transcendent divine might, and after being sent out by Hang Chi, its strength could be imagined.

In this critical situation, Frost Dream simply stretched out her slender right hand. “Infinite dreams, manifest a stone wall.”

In that instant, endless starlight gathered into Frost Dream’s hand and a common-looking stone wall rose straight from the ground!

From the start when there was nothing on the ground, it only took a thousandth of an instant for a 100,000 foot high wall to rise into the world!

In that moment, a 100,000 foot high cliff had appeared in front of Frost Dream!

This stone wall was impossibly high and dreadful. It emitted a vast and boundless aura. Atop this stone wall was a ma.s.sive ghostly head that looked incomparably fierce. It looked down at the world and grinned demonically.

Compared to this terrifying stone wall, the Wheel of Samsara looked like nothing but a tiny gla.s.s plate in front of a solid oak door. It was simply unworthy of mentioning.

Bang!

The Wheel of Samsara cut into the stone wall. The Dharmic wheel spun around, crus.h.i.+ng stone and sending shards of rubble flying everything, causing a tooth-aching sound to echo outwards. Finally, as the Dharmic wheel cut in just over halfway, it lost all power and thoroughly disintegrated!

As the audience saw this they were all shocked.

Just what kind of force was this!

The power of Hang Chi’s Wheel of Samsara was evident to all. Lin Ming and Xiao Moxian had both lost to this move! But in front of Frost Dream, it was so easily broken.

“Frost Dream is too terrifying. Within her divine dream s.p.a.ce, she is invincible. That divine wall was instantly created by her using the Divine Dream Laws. If she can make a divine wall, she can also make divine swords, divine spears, and anything else she wishes. Whether it is attack or defense, she has reached the limit in all aspects! If I hadn’t seen that Wheel of Samsara before, I would never have known how powerful it was. Even so, it is still useless in front of Frost Dream!”

“Yes, the divine dream s.p.a.ce is far too heaven-defying. Anyone that dares to fight Frost Dream within it is sure to lose. Hang Chi should have other methods, but I think that whatever he does is likely to be useless&h.e.l.lip;”

In just the first exchange, Frost Dream had suppressed Hang Chi’s transcendent divine might. As she did this, she had revealed the great strength of the divine dream s.p.a.ce. It was simply a perfect offensive and defensive system!

Chapter 1319 - Dreamsoul Immortal Melody

&h.e.l.lip;

&h.e.l.lip;

&h.e.l.lip;

Domain-type martial skills were extremely rare for martial artists. To obtain just a single one could raise a martial artist's strength a great deal.

However, to those extreme geniuses that were able to stand on the stage of the First Martial Meeting, having a single domain wasn't unusual at all. There was Hang Chi's Samsara Domain, Ram Saber's Saber King Domain, Lin Ming's grandmist s.p.a.ce, and so forth.

But until now, the undisputed number one domain was Frost Dream's divine dream s.p.a.ce. Just seeing it made one feel as if there was no way to rival it.

This was also reasonable. Ignoring the fact that Frost Dream had the deepest cultivation, in terms of ranks of transcendent divine mights, only Lin Ming's grandmist s.p.a.ce was able to compare with the divine dream s.p.a.ce.

However, Lin Ming's grandmist s.p.a.ce was incomplete and Frost Dream's divine dream s.p.a.ce was complete. From this alone, one could see the clear difference between the two.

And Frost Dream wasn't old either. She was still three years younger than Hang Chi. This left everyone confused. Just what sort of unique lucky chance did she encounter or what sort of singular physique did she possess that allowed her to reach this step?

Within the divine dream s.p.a.ce, that 100,000 foot divine wall had already disappeared. Hang Chi looked at Frost Dream and said with admiration, "The Divine Dream Domain truly lives up to its reputation. This poor monk can only try his best and use the Lotus Heart Bodhi."

As Hang Chi spoke, his hands formed a lotus sign. From between his eyebrows, a golden relic slowly appeared, finally solidifying with a sparkling light.

As the Lotus Heart Bodhi appeared, Hang Chi's aura changed. His body began to rise upwards. Behind his head, eight golden rings appeared. When combined with the brilliant golden light between his eyebrows, it was like Buddha had descended to the world.

Rumble rumble rumble!

A golden s.h.i.+ning paG.o.da fell down from the clouds, firmly suppressing the area around Hang Chi. Even the divine dream s.p.a.ce fiercely trembled as if it would burst apart at any moment.

This was Hang Chi's Eight Sectioned Stupa.

Eight deities rushed out from the divine paG.o.da and a powerful domain s.p.a.ce formed around Hang Chi. This was the Samsara Domain.

However, the Samsara Domain was too low in rank. It was suppressed by the Divine Dream Domain and limited in scope.

From the audience's viewpoint, even if Hang Chi used the Eight Sectioned Stupa, he was still worse than Frost Dream. It would be extremely difficult for him to win!

Hang Chi waved his staff and the ma.s.sive golden paG.o.da came pressing down towards Frost Dream. Like before, Frost Dream simply stretched out a slender hand. In that moment when the Eight Sectioned Stupa came cras.h.i.+ng down, a faint blue haze appeared above Frost Dream's head. This blue light rapidly expanded, nearly instantly transforming into an extremely large icy blue divine hand.

This hand was over a dozen miles tall. As it floated above the arena stage, it could be called a hand to cover the heavens!

Bang!

The Eight Sectioned Stupa heavily crashed into the divine hand. But, that hand steadily cradled the Eight Sectioned Stupa!

As the audience saw this they all let out cries of shock. In the legends, it was said that a paG.o.da-carrying Empyrean existed, carrying a paG.o.da in a single hand. His supernatural might had been unrivalled! And now, Frost Dream's ma.s.sive hand formed from the divine dream s.p.a.ce was just like that paG.o.da-wielding Empyrean, with seemingly equal force!

The Eight Sectioned Stupa was blocked by Frost Dream's giant hand. Even so, Hang Chi didn't panic. He began to murmur Buddhist sutras as the point between his eyebrows started to s.h.i.+ne with a bright light. Buddhist symbols flew out from his body, recklessly dancing about in the air.

These Buddhist seals did not fly towards Frost Dream, but towards the area around the giant hand. They settled down in the air like little flags, forming a great sealing array formation.

"What is Hang Chi doing?"

"I don't know!"

The heroic young elites present simply weren't able to understand what was happening. Even those older masters weren't sure. Although their strength far surpa.s.sed Hang Chi's, in terms of perception and skill in observation, they weren't necessarily any better than an eternally talented youth like Hang Chi.

Hang Chi linked his fingers together, instantly forming dozens of seals. These seals submerged into the void, and in that moment, the giant hand in the sky began to dim down.

"Eight Sectioned Stupa, Eight Gates Golden Lock!"

Hang Chi shouted out loud. Then, those eight deities on the Eight Sectioned Stupa flew out, surrounding Frost Dream and turning into runic locks that sealed her within.

For a time, the divine dream s.p.a.ce violently trembled as if it was about to be torn apart. There was even a fissure that ran down the giant hand, seeming as if it would burst apart at any moment.

As Frost Dream saw this, her normally indifferent complexion finally changed just the tiniest bit. A trace of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"You&h.e.l.lip; have seen through my divine dream s.p.a.ce?"

Frost Dream's voice was tranquil and calm, beautiful to the senses. Her face was surrounded by a hazy mist, similar to clouds that covered the night moon. It was an ethereal and breath-stealing sight.

"Junior-apprentice Sister Frost Dream is too exaggerated. This poor monk does not possess the ability to see through the divine dream s.p.a.ce. However, this poor monk believes that even though this Divine Dream Domain is the dreamland of Junior-apprentice Sister Frost Dream, and although Junior-apprentice Sister Frost Dream is like a G.o.d within this s.p.a.ce, it is still impossible for you to create anything you wish or manipulate the Laws as you please. Otherwise, you simply would have needed to imagine an Empyrean and this little monk would have instantly lost!

"Thus, this little monk carefully observed Fairy Maiden and discovered that whether it was nightmare beasts that were created, or divine walls, or ma.s.sive hands, the truth is that these things do not come from thin air&h.e.l.lip; rather, you have used a special type of energy that exists within the divine dream s.p.a.ce to form them. It seems this is called divine dream energy? And everything that surpa.s.ses the upper limits of this energy cannot be created.

"So, this poor monk used the Eight Sectioned Stupa to force Fairy Maiden to use over 90% of the divine dream energy available to resist it, gathering it in a single location within the divine dream s.p.a.ce. Then, by locking it with these eight golden chains, the circulation of the divine dream energy has been sealed off. If so, this sealed off divine dream s.p.a.ce has lost all significance."

Hang Chi's words were calm and unhurried. But after hearing this, the audience was completely dumbfounded. In just a few moves, Hang Chi had seen through the weakness of the divine dream s.p.a.ce. The Eight Sectioned Stupa he sent out just now was not meant to attack Frost Dream, because he had already expected that an attack of this degree would be useless. Rather, his goal was to force Frost Dream to gather that divine dream energy within the divine dream s.p.a.ce and then lock it with those eight golden chains!

If so, Frost Dream would be like a bird without wings, posing no threat at all.

This seemed simple, but if one didn't possess the powerful abilities and sealing arrays of Hang Chi, then even if they knew the weakness of the divine dream s.p.a.ce they still wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

Everyone praised Hang Chi's calm and keen fighting sense. This ability came from over 30 years of hard work and training!

"So that's how it is. Senior-apprentice Hang Chi's eyesight is indeed amazing. Even I have to admire your methods. However&h.e.l.lip; my divine dream s.p.a.ce is not limited to just this&h.e.l.lip;"

As Frost Dream spoke, a lotus flower appeared beneath her feet. At the same time, she took out an icy blue zither from her spatial ring.

This zither was crystal clear, s.h.i.+mmering with a faint light as if it were carved from the purest ice. This zither had 18 strings and was also decorated with the carved image of a G.o.ddess.

This was clearly Frost Dream's magic tool. Before now, Frost Dream had only used a lotus flower weapon; she had never taken out this zither.

Frost Dream gently held the zither and sat down atop the lotus. Her slender fingers lightly caressed the zither strings.

A divine zither sound appeared, rus.h.i.+ng like rivers and lakes, like a song from the highest heavens, leaving one lost in dreams.

"This song is called the Dreamsoul Immortal Melody. If I finish this song, I fear that Senior-apprentice Brother Hang Chi will have no chance of winning. That is, unless you can end my song."

Frost Dream was also a very low-key individual. If she dared to say that Hang Chi would lose once this song was finished, then she naturally had full confidence in it.

Hang Chi smiled, "Junior-apprentice Sister Frost Dream's zither skills are truly a wonder of the heavens. This poor monk would love to sit in repose and appreciate it, but if what Junior-apprentice Sister Frost Dream says is true and I will lose once this song is finished, then I can only make the first move. I apologize for trying to destroy such a beautiful song."

Hang Chi summoned the Wheel of Samsara once more. The golden light between his eyebrows burned even brighter. This Wheel of Samsara was 10,000 feet in diameter, able to block the skies.

"Downfall of the Six Paths!"

Hang Chi formed a lotus sign with his hands. The relic between his eyebrows floated into the Wheel of Samsara. In that moment, six figures appeared within the Wheel of Samsara.

These six figures were all different.

Among them, there was one who was covered completely in blood. Their body was broken and torn and they revealed bloodstained bones in several places, as if they had crawled up from the depths of h.e.l.l. There was one that had a fierce expression with three heads and six arms, the arms carrying a vicious halberd, large ax, copper hammer, iron needle, and other such cruel instruments of destruction and torture. There was even one whose body s.h.i.+ned with a golden light and had a great golden circle floating behind them, just like a living Buddha.

These six figures came from the path of h.e.l.l, the path of hungry ghosts, the path of beasts, the path of asura, the path of humanity, and the path of heaven. These were the six paths of samsara.

As these six figures appeared, they all hurtled towards Frost Dream. Frost Dream's appearance was calm and unperturbed. Her hand stroked the zither and her fingers nimbly plucked at the strings. All sorts of incomparably marvelous and gorgeous sounds came into existence. These sounds gathered around Frost Dream, transforming into an extremely beautiful drawing.

This was a lush, verdant forest. Snow-capped mountains appeared in the distance. It was the beginning of spring, and with the melting of snow and ice, streams of bubbling water flowed down into springs. At this time it was already night. A round full moon hung high in the skies, sprinkling the world with a cold and alluring moonlight, wrapping the universe in strands of mercurial silver.

This beautiful scene was mesmerizing to the eyes, leaving one besotted. It was unimaginable that such a beautiful scene could be used to kill others.

"This is the Immortal Melody Pure Lands!"

Someone cried out from off the arena stage. In the mortal world, there were extremely skilled zither musicians who could use their songs to express the complex feelings and scenery of stories. They could use their music to depict beautiful images, making others feel fully immersed.

But in the world of martial arts, a musician with a deep cultivation could truly possess the ability to transform that zither song into the most beautiful scenery.

No longer was the imagination of the audience required. Rather, this scene clearly appeared. The zither music formed a domain, manifesting all the emotions and beauty of that song. This was the Immortal Melody Pure Lands!

"It's not that simple&h.e.l.lip; this isn't just the Immortal Melody Pure Lands. Rather, Frost Dream has used the divine dream s.p.a.ce and superimposed that with the Immortal Melody Pure Lands, creating a whole new domain, a domain that has a might which far surpa.s.ses the original divine dream s.p.a.ce! This is a truly terrifying domain! Now, what Frost Dream is playing is not the sounds of the zither but sounds of the Dao!"

Among the spectators, there were many extremely experienced old masters. An old man sighed with emotion. The Divine Dream Domain was originally a dreamland domain skill, except that it was able to substantialize those dreams into reality.

As for the Immortal Melody Pure Lands, it was also the same. It was able to substantialize illusions.

With both complementing each other, once combined, their strength was hard to imagine.

Of course, wanting to fully fuse them together was extremely difficult. Unless one was extremely gifted, it was impossible to combine domain skills.
