Chapter 633 Li Jun Vs Yang Guowei

"Cheating?" replied Yang Guowei with a sneer. "Anything goes for the final throne. It's not my father's fault your elders were stupid enough to fall for such a trick."

"What did you say?" Yan Liling asked, triggered by this comment. No one can bad-mouth her elders. Li Jun placed his hand on her shoulder, calming her nerves. He was also mad since the Nine Sun Emperor basically destroyed the Dao Heart of his brother's grandfathers.

"That Heaven Will was wasted on your father. Any of our elders could have become Pseudo Eternals and even Eternals. But your father barely became a First Class."

"All I'm hearing are excuses from sore losers."

"Okay, I don't want to waste time with you," countered Li Jun. "Every second looking at your ugly face, I feel my lifespan rapidly shrink."

Veins appeared on Yang Guowei's forehead. He had to admit this comeback was a good one.

"What do you want?" continued Li Jun.

"I want the Deceiving Heaven Longevity Art."

"And what does it have to do with us?" Li Jun suddenly thought of something. "You want to kidnap us to blackmail big brother Wang Wei?"

"I guess you're not as stupid as you look."

"Interesting," commented Li Jun as he took out his spear. "I haven't had a good fight in a while." He did not hesitate to deploy his Domain, turning the surrounding into a world of crimson red, the same as his hair. Meanwhile, Yan Liling flew out of the boundaries of this confrontation.

"The same for me," replied Yang Guowei as he also deployed his domain, turning his surroundings into a world of white. Looking from above, these clashes looked like two circles–one red and the other white–clashing, trying to overwhelm the other.

'Let's test the water first,' thought Li Jun as he waved his spear. Then, an infinite number of weapons manifested in the sky: spears, swords, sabers, halberds, axes, bows, and others.

Slaughter Dao includes Weapon Laws that are further divided into Spear, Sword, and Saber Laws on top of myriad other weapons.

Yang Guowei calmly watched these infinite weapons descend upon him. He had no fear despite their powers to destroy countless Middle Thousand Worlds. Numerous black circles appeared above him, and black holes came out from the circles.

They easily swallowed the weapons. Then, the black holes turned into a black cloud that spread throughout Li Jun's Domain, turning his side from red to black.

"Darkness has contributed to numerous acts of slaughter," stated Li Jun as he quickly dispelled the power of darkness. Before humans discovered fire, too many people died because of the species' inability to see in the dark.

Countless military tactics involved using the darkness to commit acts of slaughter. So, darkness was one of the weapons of darkness.

Li Jun placed the tip of his spear on the ground. The earth turned grey, the color of death. An army of dead soldiers, ghosts, and zombies rosed from the soil. There were billions of dead, all readied to listen to their ruler's command.

Li Jun took the Battle Maniac's advice and reforged his Slaughter Dao. He included Yin Law, Judgment Law, Sovereign Law, and a little bit of Life and Death, all in preparation for Wang Wei's plan. Of course, he only uses enough Death Law not to become an Outlaw.

As the Yin Legion rushed toward Yang Guowei, he activated the black holes to swallow them. Unfortunately, these soldiers were immune to the physical attacks of this black hole. And the devouring power of these black holes did not reach the conceptual level.

Yang Guowei controlled the black circle to release a power associated with death and use it on the legion. However, the attacks could only kill half the legion, but Li Jun could also create an infinite number of the same amount that he could kill, making his attempt futile.

So, he chose another tactic. The black circles turned red before releasing nine suns. Then, Pure Yang Flames emanated from each sun, evaporating the Undead Legion into ashes. 

'Black represents darkness and death and is also a color associated with black holes. Meanwhile, fire is always associated with the color red. A Chromatic Dao' analyzed Li Jun. He immediately could tell his opponent would be a versatile fighter since colors are associated with many things, some with physical things and others with concepts.

Furthermore, colors are often associated with emotions, so Li Jun immediately prepared for this possibility. He used a new technique he learned called Primordial Spirit Projection.

Another illusory Primordial Spirit split from the one in his Sea of Consciousness. All spiritual attacks–including emotional control–will be directed at the projection, protecting the main one. Additionally, Li Jun can use this method to detect unnoticeable spiritual attacks like secretly affecting his emotions.

As soon as he used this technique, he saw a slight red flash in the projection's eyes.

'Excitement? He wants me too excited and become careless?' analyzed Li Jun. 'Let's get serious.'

[Death Judment]

A scale appeared in the sky with the words "life" and "death" on each side/ Then, it tilted to the death side. A brilliant golden light descended from the heavens, headed directly toward Yang Guowei with incredible speed.

Luckily, his white Domain turned orange, representing slowness and drastically reducing the attack's speed. In addition to the time spent destroying the red suns, Yang Guowei finally reduced the attack speed to a point where he could react.

Two circles appeared above his head. The first was green, representing the earth's solid nature and defensive capabilities. The second was black and white, which generated a Yin-Yang shield.

Yang Guo's measures defended against Li Jun's attack. However, his opponent did not give him time to breathe. He saw Li Jun rushing towards him with a tsunami of blood following him. He could hear the scream of the fallen from the blood ocean but quickly protected his mind with a color barrier.

He used the color black, this time associated with space and the void, to teleport the blood river away from him. He tried doing the same with Li Jun, but the latter resisted.

Yang Guowei had to defend against Li Jun's spear. So, at the last minute, he condensed his domain into a protective barrier before him.

Boom!

The clash made the surroundings tremble as the space broke apart. The trees flew away, mountains broke, and rivers dried up. Li Jun slid backward because of the shockwave. Meanwhile, Yang Guowei was perfectly intact.

At least, that's how it appeared.

Splash!

Yang Guowei spat a mouth of blood, and his complexion became paler.

'What? I blocked that attack.' Absolute control of the Domain is one of the main requirements to enter the Supreme Realm. And not many people–including his peers–can condense it into a protective barrier right after entering the Saint Realm.

As such, he should have blocked the attack. Yang Guowei immediately used the yellow color that represented plants to heal himself. Unfortunately, this method failed as he sensed his body rapidly become weaker.

He tried the color gold, which represented light and also healing. It was the same result. He rapidly analyzed the situation before things reached a critical condition.

"What is the greatest cause of death throughout history?" he muttered. "Sickness." It was not cultivators, mortal strife, or the environment that caused the greatest death throughout history: sickness. Trillions upon trillions of mortals die every day because of disease.

"You've figured it out," commented Li Jun. Birth, aging, sickness, and death: the four fundamental aspects of life. Yet, cultivators have removed this aspect from the equation. I think it was about time for that to change."

Five colors appeared before Yang Guowei as he continued to cough blood and get weaker. According to medicinal theory, sickness results from an imbalance of the five elements. So, he used them to cure himself, and this method had some effect. Nevertheless, he still felt a sense of weakness, and his Origin Essence operated slower than usual.

'I can't believe I have to use my full power on someone like Li Jun.' Yang Guowei felt humiliated, but he had no choice. Suddenly, his eyes glanced in one direction before returning to normal. It was such a passing glance so subtle that no one would notice he was looking somewhere else, thinking he was simply scanning his surroundings.

Then, Yang Guowei took a talisman and disappeared, making Li Jun and Yan Liling frown.

Wang Wei finished watching the fight through the talisman. "What's your analysis on him?"

"He appeared prideful because of his Emperor Offspring identity. However, I feel like this is nothing but a mask. Given who his father is, he is most likely as cunning as the latter. I would not be surprised if he tried a similar tactic as his father," commented Li Jun.

"He's definitely ruthless and willing to do anything for his goal," added Yan Liling. "During the entire fight, I felt he kept an eye on me secretly. I think he was scheming on kidnapping me to get you to surrender."

"Really? I didn't notice this."

Yan Liling was very sensitive because of the recent improvement of her soul and new physique. So, she felt his malice.

"The question is why he suddenly left the fight when he seemed prepared to go all out," questioned Wang Wei. "Hmmm."

He sensed something and looked outside. Li Jun and Yan Liling felt the same thing and observed the sky outside. There was a vision of golden clouds accompanied by the sound of the Dao, which covered the entire world.

The group calculated the reason and learned someone in this generation had already broken into the Supreme Realm, surprising everyone. Most Heaven Chosens were still in the Void Shattering Realm, with a few entering the Saint Realm. But someone had become a True Monarch out of nowhere.

Wang Wei divined more information but only learned it was a sealed Heaven Chosen who cultivated. However, something blocked other details on the latter.

While pondering on the person's identity and whether they had a purpose for cultivating so fast, Heavenly Dao suddenly sent a message to all cultivators in the world. 

And it involved this generation's Clean Up.
