CHAPTER 1495: CHAPTER 1495: HUNT FOR THE DESCENDERS (PART 3)

The three engaged in an intense battle over the sea, the water fiercely churning.

Ye Qiu fought against two heavily injured Void Shattering Realm opponents at his peak condition. His ghost-faced avatar, after successfully ambushing on the first strike, was ordered by Ye Qiu to wait on the sidelines.

He didn’t want the ghost-faced avatar to continue fighting. Facing two uninjured Void Shattering Realm opponents would be challenging, but against heavily injured ones, he had some confidence.

Especially with the techniques Ye Qiu mastered, he had trump cards capable of challenging those above his level.

On the sea, the powers of the three clashed and rippled, the two arrivals having fought Ye Qiu before. Even with their injuries, they sought to defeat Ye Qiu in this rematch.

Seeing the ghost-faced avatar not assisting, the two arrivals sighed in relief, thinking Ye Qiu was too confident. This time, they wouldn’t lower their cultivation like before.

"Kill!"

The two were filled with killing intent, wanting to take Ye Qiu down before the ghost-faced avatar acted again.

Ye Qiu, under the pressure of the two Void Shattering Realm fighters, never backed down. His hands channeled the power of the Six Paths, employing various techniques to block and counter the pair.

"I like this kind of pressure." Ye Qiu was driven back by their combined assault, yet he still chose to face them by himself rather than have the ghost-faced avatar help.

He needed to pressure himself to better hone his skills.

Six Paths Reincarnation Fist!

Tai Chi!

Flood Dragon Devil Fist!

Heavenly Ape Fist!

Various fist techniques unfurled from Ye Qiu’s hands. Whether the most formidable techniques or the simplest, low-tier fists, Ye Qiu wielded them with ease, fending off the attacks from the two Void Shattering fighters.

Under immense pressure, Ye Qiu’s mind was exceptionally clear, his thoughts racing. This pressure unlocked his potential, allowing his martial arts to quickly progress.

Bang! Bang!

The waves surged, as Ye Qiu’s fists continuously transformed, agitating the surrounding air. The two arrivals looked down on Ye Qiu’s techniques, especially the crude ones, believing them powerless. However, at this moment, Ye Qiu displayed a profound aura, capable of wounding them.

Wounding them here meant harming them.

As the battle progressed, their fear grew. Ye Qiu entered a unique state, simultaneously fighting and comprehending new insights.

"This kid is unbelievably defiant, facing two and still understanding martial arts. He cannot be left alive."

"Kill!"

The two Protectors, no longer holding back, unleashed all their remaining strength with the intent to kill Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu felt like a fish in the sea, each movement like a fish’s tail, swimming naturally and freely in the ocean.

This was a realm of martial arts, seemingly capricious, yet within every move lay an unpredictable spontaneity. As Ye Qiu kept attacking until the very end, his mind couldn’t even comprehend how to block the opponent. His body instinctively performed the quickest reactions.

A faint aura emerged from Ye Qiu.

As the saying goes, ’The Way follows nature.’ At this moment, Ye Qiu exuded a martial arts flavor of naturalness.

The two arrivals’ killing move suddenly came, but Ye Qiu either pushed, shifted, sent away, or flicked all previous moves, avoiding them completely. Now, the two drew out separate Dao forces, merging them into a stronger Dao force.

Like a bolt of lightning.

Descending from the sky.

Boom!

Ye Qiu moved with light steps. Even with lightning overhead, he remained unflustered, his expression steady and emotionless.

The two Dao forces combined, striking down. Ye Qiu, without a glance, extended his hand engulfed in dazzling brilliance, unabashedly reaching for the Dao force.

What!

The two arrivals were stunned. A mere Imperial Realm dare to grasp the Dao force with bare hands, surely seeking death.

Was Ye Qiu seeking death?

Clearly not, for the Dao force was captured in his hand like a raging beast, roaring and struggling.

Ye Qiu held the Dao force, gazing at it, while extending his other hand with a slight flick.

The Dao force instantly quieted, motionless in Ye Qiu’s grip.

"So this is the Dao force!"

Ye Qiu sighed gently, seemingly enlightened, a faint smile on his face. Then, he flicked the Dao force into the air, where it swiftly dissipated, merging into the world.

Ye Qiu’s arm did not retract, but grabbed even more firmly.

Though the sky appeared empty, the two arrivals were utterly shocked.

Because they fully understood what Ye Qiu’s action signified.

He could also draw the Dao force!

An Imperial Realm able to summon the Dao force was extremely rare at the ancestral land. Even if it existed, it was someone trapped in the Imperial Realm for many years, achieving this step. Young martial artists couldn’t possibly achieve it, unless they broke through to the Void Shattering Realm, only then understanding this power.

Yet before them, a native did it, a young man under thirty, mastering the Dao force as an emperor.

Genius!

Ye Qiu’s talent, even in ancestral lands, would be monstrous. Who would have thought, he was merely a native, from a declining planet, yet radiated such brilliance, far surpassing many young prodigies in the ancestral lands.

"This ends here!"

The two arrivals exchanged glances, a power exceeding the Dao force gathered upon them, a power once appearing in the Saint Heir of Taiyi.

This was the Divine Dao force, beyond the Dao force.

With the emergence of the Divine Dao force, the seawater beneath them boiled.

This was because the Divine Dao force was so intense that it compressed the air as it appeared, causing the sea surface to ripple violently, like boiling water.

"Go!"

The pair unleashed an even stronger power, aiming their Divine Dao force at Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu effortlessly deflected the Dao force, meeting the Divine Dao force. Upon contact, his Dao force held for a moment before being obliterated, leaving the remaining Divine Dao force to continue its assault.

The Divine Dao force dispatched by the two arrivals was far superior to the Saint Heir’s Divine Dao force, as they far exceeded the Saint Heir in realm.

"Let’s see if you survive!"

The Divine Dao force enveloped Ye Qiu, bringing a smile to the two arrivals’ faces. What did it matter if Ye Qiu understood the Dao force? The Divine Dao force surpassed it, mismatching in magnitude.

After a while, the Divine Dao glow persisted, suddenly contracting, captured again in Ye Qiu’s hand.

This left them utterly speechless. The Dao force was one thing, but the Divine Dao force being easily grasped by this native?

Or...?

Ye Qiu gave them a slight smile, a brilliant glow burst from his other hand, unmistakably that of the Divine Dao force.

"This..."

The two arrivals didn’t know what to say. They already acknowledged Ye Qiu as a leading figure among the younger generation.

Yet this scene defied even the term ’leading figure.’

This guy already matched the top saint heir, the talent of Saint Heir Taiyi. Mastering the Divine Dao force as an emperor.

This was an omen of a future martial arts great!

Could this native, standing before them, become a legendary figure in the future?

Their minds were bewildered, incapable of accepting it.
