Chapter 1204: Chapter 1202: The Jade Emperor’s Mental Breakdown

As the scales of victory gradually tilted, Jiang Liu naturally saw some hope of defeating the Jade Emperor, which secretly delighted his heart.

Could it be that I really have hope of defeating the Jade Emperor?

The level 95 Blue UI, with his identity as the Lord of the Three Realms, if I truly manage to defeat him, I wonder how much Experience Points I can acquire and what good items might drop?

Jiang Liu always remembered when he first slew Maitreya Buddha back then, it directly granted him 3 billion Experience Points and an enormous bonus of 1.8 million taels of Silver.

If today I am able to defeat the Jade Emperor, the Experience Points and money should be higher than when defeating Maitreya Buddha, right?

The Experience Points needed for me to level up to 88 is 62 billion, but completing the God-Beating Whip quest directly rewarded me with 50 billion Experience Points.

Adding in what I originally had and what I recently earned, I currently have roughly around 60 billion Experience Points.

If I am able to defeat the Jade Emperor now, wouldn’t I be able to instantly level up to level 88?

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu felt even more motivated.

“Damn it! Xuanzang’s Law-Type Divine Powers are indeed formidable, my attacks on him are completely ineffective!” After fighting for so long, he gradually fell at a disadvantage. Naturally, the Jade Emperor understood the reason for his disadvantage, which secretly made him feel helpless.

Reaching the level of a Quasi-Saint, although the Jade Emperor also comprehended some Laws, the Laws he understood did not seem suitable to counter Xuanzang’s Law-Type Divine Skills.

Regardless of how annoyed the Jade Emperor felt, Jiang Liu was also keeping an eye on the Duel Contract’s duration.

Though it currently looked favorable, if the Duel Contract expired, perhaps the Jade Emperor would slowly regain his disadvantage.

“Looks like I still need a strategy to secure the victory!”

Suppressing him openly was useless; if I can’t directly defeat the Jade Emperor, then any suppression is actually of no substantial significance.

However, given the Jade Emperor is at level 95 with a Blue UI and is protected by Destiny, even with Gaoyang’s Green Duckweed Sword having extraordinary Attack Power, thoroughly defeating the Jade Emperor remains no easy task.

The power possessed by the level 95 Blue UI Jade Emperor is far beyond what a level 91 White UI Empress can compare to.

Jiang Liu was secretly pondering how to completely defeat the Jade Emperor to secure victory, just as the Jade Emperor was also secretly pondering how to thoroughly defeat Jiang Liu and Gaoyang.

Now, the eyes of the Three Realms and Six Paths are almost all concentrated on me, seeing how I will react after losing face to mortals.

If I lose today, the consequences will be unbearable.

“Looks like I have to go for an All-or-Nothing!?” Watching the Jade Emperor’s almost full Health Bar, Jiang Liu murmured to himself after a moment of silence.

To defeat the Jade Emperor, it seems, relying on the All-or-Nothing Skill is really the most convenient way?

Injuring the enemy a thousand while taking five hundred self-harm, if possible, Jiang Liu indeed would not want to use this Skill.

But if it comes to the point where it must be used…

Seeing that the Duel Contract’s duration had ended, Jiang Liu took a deep breath, directly blocking in front of Gaoyang, not interrupting the Jade Emperor’s Attack but also stopping Gaoyang, giving her no room to act.

“Jiang Liu?” Observing his actions, Gaoyang looked at him with some puzzlement.

“Gaoyang, let me handle the next part!” Jiang Liu said solemnly, his expression turning extremely serious.

“You…” Jiang Liu’s words brought a change to Gaoyang’s expression.

Could it be that at this point, Jiang Liu is going to use the Tai Chi Diagram? Wouldn’t this expose his mysterious identity?

“Your Majesty, this humble monk has recently comprehended a new Law-Type Divine Power!” Jiang Liu’s gaze fell upon the Jade Emperor as he spoke.

“Another new Law-Type Divine Power!? How should other Quasi-Saints feel who haven’t comprehended Law-Type Divine Powers?” Jiang Liu’s words made the Jade Emperor secretly complain within.

However, more than that, he was obviously shocked.

Xuanzang’s Law-Type Divine Powers were already numerous, and now he has comprehended a new one? Is it because his Cultivation Level is approaching the Quasi-Saint realm?

“Really? I wonder what kind of Law-Type Divine Power you have recently comprehended?” The Jade Emperor maintained a calm façade and asked.

“I named this Divine Skill, ‘Mutual Destruction!'” Hearing the Jade Emperor’s question, Jiang Liu replied.

“Hiss, such a direct and terrifyingly named skill…” The Jade Emperor gasped upon hearing Jiang Liu’s words.

Just from the name, it was clear how ruthless and terrifying this Divine Power was.

“Your Majesty, please experience it well?” Jiang Liu spoke and raised his palm, striking his own chest, as if to commit suicide.

Seeing Jiang Liu’s almost suicidal action, the Jade Emperor also felt secretly shocked within.

But his response was quick, immediately mobilizing his own power, defending against any attacks that might appear at any moment.

A palm struck his own chest, although it was just for show, with the skill All-or-Nothing cast, Jiang Liu’s complexion turned deathly pale, groaning slightly, as cold sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, clearly injured.

And the Jade Emperor on this side? Although he had made all the preparations, his own preparations seemed to be in vain.

Even the force of destiny protecting him dissipated significantly, and then, the Jade Emperor was sent flying, with the health bar above his head dropping by a segment.

“How is this possible!?”

Feeling suddenly injured, and with his equipment proving completely ineffective, the Jade Emperor was secretly shocked in his heart.

This self-sacrifice skill is actually this terrifying? Even though I was prepared, I still couldn’t resist?

Seeing Xuanzang also injured, it seems the skill named ‘All-or-Nothing’ is indeed true to its name.

“How is this possible!?”

However, with the use of the All-or-Nothing skill, not only was the Jade Emperor shocked, but Xuanzang was also very shocked.

The All-or-Nothing skill was originally meant to decrease one’s own health by 10% in exchange for a 20% decrease of the opponent’s health.

But when this skill was used, the health bar above the Jade Emperor’s head only decreased by about 10%?

The effect was clearly weakened!

This is the first time Jiang Liu’s skill has shown such a situation.

“Even back then, Kong Xuan’s health bar decreased by 20% when caught off guard, so why did the Jade Emperor’s only decrease by 10%?” Looking at the health bar above the Jade Emperor’s head, Jiang Liu muttered to himself, finding it hard to understand.

Was the Jade Emperor already prepared for the defense? Or was it because the force of destiny was protecting him?

After some thought, Jiang Liu believed it to be the latter!

The All-or-Nothing skill ignores defense; even Zhu Jiuyin couldn’t block it, let alone the Jade Emperor?

The force of destiny, like the force of merit, is almost an omnipotent force that can be used for various things.

For example, increasing cultivation level, enhancing dharma treasures, attacking, defending, and resisting calamities, etc.

As the lord of the three realms, if the Jade Emperor used the force of destiny to protect himself, it completely makes sense that he could weaken the damage brought by the All-or-Nothing skill to some extent?

However, although the effect of the All-or-Nothing skill was greatly weakened by the force of destiny, as long as it worked, it would be fine.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liu immediately used the All-or-Nothing skill again, and the health bar above his head dropped by another 10%. Similarly, the Jade Emperor’s health bar also dropped by 10%.

All-or-Nothing, All-or-Nothing, All-or-Nothing…

At this moment, Jiang Liu was completely treating his own life as nothing, with his injuries getting more severe. Of course, the Jade Emperor’s injuries were also worsening.

“Jiang Liu…” Seeing Jiang Liu’s increasingly severe injuries, Gaoyang was startled, feeling even more anxious.

Defeating the Jade Emperor would be great, but if defeating the Jade Emperor meant Jiang Liu himself would be severely injured, Gaoyang thought, whether the Jade Emperor was defeated or not became unimportant.

“All-or-Nothing, indeed, the name of this skill is spot on…” Feeling the indescribable force attacking him, which even the force of destiny couldn’t block, the Jade Emperor was even more shocked.

Could it be? Would I really end up perishing here together with Xuanzang?

The immeasurable kalpa of the Journey to the West had reached the most critical phase, with Xuanzang being the center of destiny. Would he die?

Likewise, although the immeasurable kalpa was terrifying, even a Quasi-Saint found it hard to protect himself. But as the lord of the three realms, would I also die?

Strengthening Healing Potion!

Just as the Jade Emperor was shocked and frightened, Jiang Liu flipped his hand, revealing a bottle of Strengthening Healing Potion.

Without wasting any words, Jiang Liu gulped it down, immediately feeling a portion of his injuries recover. His face, which had been pale as paper, looked much rosier.

“Your Majesty! Both of our injuries are severe. Please allow this poor monk to drink a bottle of divine medicine to recover, then we can continue!” After recovering 30% of his health with the Strengthening Healing Potion, Jiang Liu looked at the Great Jade Emperor and said.

Jade Emperor: “…”

Profanity!

Watching Jiang Liu’s injuries recover significantly with just one potion, the Jade Emperor felt the urge to curse.

With this All-or-Nothing skill, could he really recover his injuries with a potion?

Then isn’t this skill just like a game?

“It’s over. If he continues to use this skill, I will be the one who can’t hold on in the end!” Seeing Jiang Liu taking potions and wanting to continue, the Jade Emperor’s heart sank.

Weren’t we supposed to perish together? But you are taking potions? Isn’t this cheating?

The Jade Emperor’s mentality collapsed!
