Chapter 2228 - 2225: Unleashing Potential

Chapter 2228: Chapter 2225: Unleashing Potential

"If you were to continue growing, after this battle, you would surely advance to the Innate Realm..." Ji Zimo moved his sword, pointing it slantingly at the ground, causing a stir among the crowd with his words. However, his next sentence was chilling: "It’s just unfortunate that you won’t live to see it."

The repeated evasions of attacks turned Ji Zimo’s surprise into calm. It seemed he sensed Miss’s limits, so his resolve to defeat Miss remained unchanged.

The Ancient Martial artists began to discern some clues; Miss had boundless potential, even able to temporarily withstand the power of Innate Realm masters. Given time, she would surely break through to the Innate Realm.

But to resist is always merely to resist, not to defeat. Without the chance to grow, the best talent is still strangled in its cradle. In the history of the Ancient Martial World, there were countless geniuses who shone like stars. Yet, among them, few successfully grew into the Innate Realm.

The remainder, all perished during their Postnatal stage.

Miss’s complexion remained slightly pale, but she quickly recovered. She could feel the shifting emotions of the crowd, yet remained indifferent, without joy or sorrow.

"Unless you admit defeat, you have no chance." Ji Zimo’s tone was strange, seemingly advising Miss, but Lin Tian could hear that Ji Zimo was trying to provoke Miss.

If Miss admitted defeat immediately and went back to diligently cultivate, she might have a chance to progress to the Innate Realm. Ji Zimo naturally couldn’t bear such an outcome, so he intentionally spoke against her, provoking Miss. ℯ

Would Miss admit defeat? Proud as she is, certainly not. Moreover, she has been waiting for the opportunity to break through for a long time. If she admits defeat this time, even if she advances to the Innate Realm later, it will leave a crack in her Dao heart which will become a Heart Demon in her future cultivation path.

She pointed her sword at the ground and said mildly, "Come, let’s see the authenticity of your Ji Family!"

These words had implications, and Ji Zimo, usually calm, seemed ignited by fire, fury rising in his eyes; the Ji Family’s legitimacy was unquestionable!

His rage flared, and his momentum transformed. Previously, it was the dignity of the emperor, lofty and commanding over the seas. But now, it’s as if the emperor confronted rebels, descending the throne to lead the charge himself.

The emperor’s wrath scatters a million corpses, blood flows for a thousand miles. This is the consequence of the emperor’s fury.

"Emperor’s Heart: Emperor’s Fury!" Ji Zimo shouted, his brows and hair raised, with a cold glint in his eyes, as if commanding a million warriors, his sword pointed at Miss.

The white light on the Sky Soaring Sword no longer seemed gentle but burned like flames. He hadn’t moved, yet numerous phantoms of him appeared before him, each phantom wielding the Sky Soaring Sword, forming an array, crushing towards Miss.

A million warriors, sweeping invincibly, a flood of iron, annihilating everything. This is a martial skill full of killing intent, an iron-blooded martial skill; the emperor himself leads the charge, the warriors are undefeated.

Yet Miss seems merely a frail girl, how could she resist a million warriors? Even the crowd thought this time she couldn’t withstand it?

Lin Tian sensed Xiao Manxuan’s hand tense up, sweat in her palm. Though the little girl trusted Lin Tian, seeing such a scene and empathizing with her sister, she understood the pressure her sister faced.

The two sisters, not twins, yet closer than twins, they could empathize.

Ling Shuiyao glanced at Lin Tian, but found him very composed, showing no intention to intervene. Isn’t he afraid of Sister Manxue being defeated? Little La Jiao wondered.

She knew that even sitting in a wheelchair, Lin Tian had the ability to save Xiao Manxue.

Lin Tian did not move, but Miss did. Her figure flickered, and the crowd’s vision blurred as her presence suddenly vanished from the arena, seemingly disappearing into thin air.

"Zhuan Zhu stabbing the king, comet striking the moon; Nie Zheng stabbing Han, white rainbow piercing the sun; the fury of a commoner causes two corpses, blood flows five steps, the world dons mourning garments!"

The voice of Miss suddenly echoed from above, as if coming from the Nine Heavens, near yet far.

Everyone knew that Zhuan Zhu and Nie Zheng were famous assassins of antiquity, fearless unto death, assassinating the emperor, shaking the mountains and rivers, blood flowing five steps, burying the emperor, making all under heaven wear mourning clothes.

All heads raised, as they saw Miss descending from the sky, her finger directing the Hua Ying Sword, soaring overhead, "assassinating" Ji Zimo, like the Outer Heaven Flying Immortal, splendid and magnificent, yet within this beauty lays immense danger.

She flew swiftly across, obscuring the sun, resembling a white rainbow piercing the sun!

The Hua Ying Sword instantly reached the top of Ji Zimo’s head, he sensed the Sword Intent within, and his expression changed, while his heart firmed further to cripple her and seize the Hua Ying Sword.

Ji Zimo realized that Miss’s Sword Intent was becoming more unfathomable, no matter how he deployed martial skills, she always found a way to counter them.

Previously, the Ji Family’s martial skills and Cultivation Techniques severely suppressed other Ancient Martial artists, but now, it seems reversed, countered at every turn.

He disliked this feeling, the Sky Soaring Sword in his hand trembled, the phantom of warriors, like Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, swept the sky, clashing with Miss’s "white rainbow piercing the sun."

Boom...

This confrontation finally emitted a booming sound, the white Sword Qi and blue Sword Qi radiated everywhere, all phantoms dispersed completely, the stone slabs on the ground suffered as they were pierced full of holes by the Sword Qi.

Miss flew backwards, landing with several backward steps, her face paler, but her eyes more resolute. Ji Zimo also fared poorly, retreating several steps before he stopped, his sleeve cut open.

Though it didn’t wound his flesh, for someone in the Innate Realm, this was unacceptable as his opponent was only in the Postnatal Realm.

Ji Zimo didn’t look at the sleeve but stared at Miss: "Unleashing potential, I want to see how much potential you have, and when the time comes, I won’t need to strike, you’ll end up crippling yourself first."

"Brother Lin, what does Ji Zimo mean by this?" Yun Xiaotian asked, although surrounded by Ancient Martial artists, she ultimately didn’t fully understand matters of Ancient Martial.

"Ancient Martial artists cultivate with Secret Techniques, capable of unleashing potential, stimulating power, but the price is incurring damage, damage generally irreversible, even causing a drop in realm, forever halting progress."

"Back then, Aunt Wang, which is your mother, likely unleashed potential to protect Yun Tian, intending to temporarily boost her strength to resist enemies, but ultimately weak postpartum, outnumbered, resulting in a drop in realm, unable to progress." Lin Tian explained softly.

"What about Sister Manxue?" Yun Xiaotian asked again, Xiao Manxuan also looked at Lin Tian.

"If it were before, she might also drop her realm, but now, Miss knows what she’s doing." Lin Tian calmly replied.

Just as the words fell, Ji Zimo launched another attack, this time using no martial skills, simply stabbing, chopping, slashing, cutting, slicing.

Yet even simple moves, when driven by Innate Realm’s power, held immense might. Ji Zimo understood now, martial skills are a combination of power and technique, where there is technique there is a method of countering, only absolute power is irrefutable; he intended to use the most basic element, power, pure power to crush, this is the advantage of the Innate Realm.
