Chapter 749: A Pseudo Heavenly Divine Technique
On the golden Challenge Platform, Xiao Ze stood atop the shoulder of his Supreme Origin Avatar, his hands forming intricate seals. The massive avatar opened its mouth, releasing a whirlwind of violet cyan winds that swiftly expanded into a colossal storm spanning thousands of meters.
If not for the Challenge Platform's immense and self contained space, the sheer size of the storm would have engulfed everything, leaving no room for Xiao Ze to maneuver or for the spiritual figure to defend itself.
While containing the storm, Xiao Ze continued to channel his Calamity of the Three Disasters: Wind Disaster, enhancing the storm's destructive power.
The spiritual figure, a perfection level Earthly Supreme, was no longer an opponent that could be defeated with ordinary techniques. However, with Xiao Ze's advancement to Upper Earthly Supreme, his Supreme Origin Avatar had also become significantly more powerful.
The divine technique he now unleashed was comparable to a pseudo heavenly divine technique the strongest ability attainable below the Heavenly Supreme realm.
Power Beyond Expectations
"An ability comparable to a pseudo heavenly divine technique?" Qing Yanjing gasped from below.
As a member of the Futuo Ancient Clan, she understood the significance of such techniques. True heavenly divine techniques were the domain of Heavenly Supremes. Only those with extraordinary talent and opportunity could hope to master even a pseudo heavenly divine technique before reaching the Heavenly Supreme realm.
Even the two peerless geniuses of the Futuo Ancient Clan had only managed to master one pseudo heavenly divine technique each.
And yet, mastering just one had earned them the title of invincible among perfection level Earthly Supremes.
Now, Xiao Ze's Supreme Origin Avatar had displayed a divine technique of equal might, shaking Qing Yanjing's confidence.
"Xiao Ze… Just how many hidden abilities does he have? Every time I think I've seen the extent of his power, he reveals something even more incredible," Qing Yanjing muttered, her frustration mounting.
She had always been the unparalleled genius of her clan, armed with unmatched talent, abundant resources, and the rare Eight Divine Meridians. Yet, in front of Xiao Ze, she felt as though she was falling behind.
The Violet Cyan Storm
The storm, fueled by hundreds of layers of violet cyan winds, grew so powerful that it began tearing the Challenge Platform's space apart, leaving fine cracks in its wake.
Xiao Ze marveled at its potency. "This is no ordinary divine technique. Its power truly surpasses standard grand techniques and reaches the level of pseudo heavenly divine techniques."
In the Great Thousand World, heavenly divine techniques were exclusive to Heavenly Supremes. Pseudo heavenly divine techniques were the pinnacle of what could be achieved below that level.
This technique, the Calamity of the Three Disasters, embodied destruction and confinement. Once engulfed by the storm, even the most skilled opponents would struggle to escape its reach.
A Clash of Titans
As the storm swept toward the spiritual figure, the figure's boundless spiritual energy surged. It retaliated with a punch that unleashed a towering beam of spiritual light, stretching over a thousand meters.
Ordinarily, such a light beam would annihilate even a perfection level Earthly Supreme.
Yet, against the pseudo heavenly divine technique, the beam was torn apart, its fragments dissolving into motes of light.
The figure tried to retreat, but the storm's range encompassed the entire Challenge Platform, leaving no avenue of escape.
Caught in the eye of the storm, the figure erupted with radiant spiritual light, firing beams of energy in all directions. However, none of its attacks could pierce through the storm's confinement.
Within moments, the figure was consumed entirely, its radiant form disintegrating under the storm's devastating power.
A Swift Victory
As the storm dissipated, Xiao Ze stood still, a hint of surprise on his face. "That was… easier than I expected."
Although channeling the storm had consumed a significant amount of energy, the battle had been simpler than his previous encounters.
It was clear why: the pseudo heavenly divine technique was a level of power the spiritual figure couldn't counter without an equivalent ability. Against such overwhelming force, the figure had no chance.
The Calamity of the Three Disasters: Wind Disaster was a blend of destruction and confinement. Once trapped, opponents would be worn down relentlessly by the storm's corrosive power, leaving them with no escape.
Xiao Ze speculated that even most perfection level Earthly Supremes, armed with various techniques, would struggle to survive the storm.
The Aftermath
The Challenge Platform was left in ruins, its surface riddled with spatial cracks. Xiao Ze stood atop his glowing Supreme Origin Avatar, which shielded him from the residual energy.
But then, the golden Challenge Platform began to restore itself. A radiant light swept across, erasing the spatial cracks and returning the platform to its pristine state.
Seeing this, Xiao Ze's eyes gleamed. "This platform… its durability must rival that of sacred artifacts. To withstand such a destructive technique without collapsing it's truly extraordinary."
As he pondered this, a brilliant orb of spiritual energy appeared at the center of the platform. Its purity and density far surpassed ordinary treasures.
Xiao Ze wasted no time, using his devouring force to absorb and refine the energy.
Lingering Questions
As he absorbed the energy, a question lingered in his mind. The Yaoguang Palace, as one of the Seven Star Palaces, must have possessed unparalleled resources, including pseudo heavenly divine techniques.
"Why, then, does the Challenge Platform's difficulty cap at the 92nd level?" he wondered.
For Xiao Ze, the answer soon became apparent. He had underestimated the difficulty of mastering a pseudo heavenly divine technique.
Such techniques were exceedingly rare and difficult to cultivate, even for geniuses. Among the Futuo Ancient Clan, only two exceptional talents had succeeded.
Qing Yanjing, with all her talent and resources, had yet to reach that level. She might only attempt to master such a technique upon advancing to perfection level Earthly Supreme.
"That explains why she didn't try harder to surpass her limits earlier," Xiao Ze thought.
With this realization, Xiao Ze's respect for the Challenge Platform and his own achievements deepened.
