Chapter 117: Thunderblast

Lu Zhou was surprised.

Hua Wudao had incorporated the eight trigrams with his Six Compatible Seal. Regardless of how powerful it was, the fact that he had even attempted this was more than commendable. It was only natural since he would not have come to the Evil Sky Pavilion without testing the might of his Six Compatible Seal beforehand.

The Imperfect Divine Intervention was the Divine One Technique’s ultimate skill. Duanmu Sheng planned to cast the ultimate skill along with his heaven-grade weapon and Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.

For this reason, everyone was confident with Duanmu Sheng’s move.

Countless spear clones converged and attacked a single point on the Six Compatible Seal.

The Six Compatible Seal that had been combined with the eight trigrams formed a peculiar energy barrier.

The collision between their energies released waves of Primal Qi in the air that spread through the Evil Sky Pavilion.

“The Six Compatible Seal is so powerful! Mister Third has unleashed several ultimate skills, and yet, it seems unaffected!”

“Hua Wudao is quite amazing!”

Pan Zhong was from the Clarity Sect. The Clarity Sect shared the same root as the Yun Sect. Therefore, he knew a thing or two about Daoist seals. However, Hua Wudao’s Six Compatible Seal had overturned his previous understanding of it. It was only natural since Hua Wudao had spent 20 years studying and perfecting this move alone.

Hua Wudao had come prepared. His objective was to have the Evil Sky Pavilion attack him. If they were fighting to the death, Hua Wudao might not be able to defeat Duanmu Sheng.

“It’s not over yet!” Duanmu Sheng yelled suddenly. When the Overlord Spear was repelled by the Six Compatible Seal and rebounded, he spun around and launched another attack. The tip of the spear flashed with fiery red radiance.

Hua Wudao said in a deep voice, “It’s still not enough!” The six huge script symbols overlapped. At the same time, the eight trigrams rose and merged with the six scripts again. It was clear that he had anticipated his opponent would focus their attack on one point to break his defenses.

Bzzt!

A buzzing noise rang in the air when the Overlord Spear landed on the Six Compatible Seal.

Everyone frowned. This was like a clash between Primal Qi.

When Duanmu Sheng and Hua Wudao’s powers collided, the chaotic flow of Primal Qi made a huge noise as they spread outward. The sound was peculiar, making it seem like a hybrid sound technique.

Everyone quickly circulated their Primal Qi to defend themselves against these peculiar soundwaves.

Lu Zhou was the only one who remained calm and indifferent. His heart was void and untainted. It seemed like he was not affected by the soundwaves at all as he watched the battle, looking at ease.

Bang!

The peculiar soundwaves disappeared after a few seconds.

With a stab from the Overlord Spear, the six scripts of the Six Compatible Seal suddenly dispersed!

Hua Wudao staggered backward as the circle of light under his feet faded.

Duanmu Sheng was, similarly, affected by the recoil of the collision. He did a backflip in the air and stumbled three steps backward before he finally managed to regain his footing. He looked at Hua Wudao with an incredulous expression on his face. He did not expect Hua Wudao would be able to withstand that hit. Hua Wudao only staggered a few steps backward. Based on this, it seemed like Duanmu Sheng was on the losing end of the battle.

However, Hua Wudao was much more surprised compared to Duanmu Sheng. He did not think anybody was capable of breaking through his defenses. Before he came to the Evil Sky Pavilion, he had tested his technique against more than one Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator. None of them succeeded had succeeded in breaching his defenses. He did not expect to be beaten back by Duanmu Sheng. If Duanmu Sheng had been slightly stronger, he would have broken the Six Compatible Seal in one go with that technique. He said sincerely, “Nice moves.”

Duanmu Sheng, however, was in no mood to hear praises from his opponent. He raised his Overlord Spear and said, “Three more moves!”

“...”

Duanmu Sheng was the type of person who would fight more valiantly as the battle dragged on.

Hua Wudao placed his hands on his back and said, “I admit that you’re powerful, but you’ve used up three moves. According to our previous agreement, the Pavilion Master should be next.”

Everyone turned to look at Lu Zhou at this moment. After all, he was the one who laid out the conditions.

Duanmu Sheng shook his head and said, “I didn’t use my full strength. Allow me one more move, and I’m sure I’ll break your Six Compatible Seal.”

Hua Wudao looked at Duanmu Sheng indifferently and said, “If I hadn’t been careless earlier, I don’t think you would’ve been able to push me back. I’ve only used half of my strength on the Six Compatible Seal.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They could not help but wonder if he was bluffing or mocking Duanmu Sheng. In any case, he sounded arrogant.

“Half? The Six Compatible Seal can block Mister Third’s ultimate skill, and yet, it’s only at half strength!” Pan Zhong was shocked.

“I’ve never seen such a defensive Daoist seal.”

Hua Wudao kept his eyes trained on Lu Zhou. He was waiting for Lu Zhou’s reply.

Eventually, Lu Zhou descended the steps slowly. “Is this the Daoist seal you’ve been painstakingly cultivating for the past 20 years? The Six Compatible Seal?”

“That’s right.”

“If I attack, you’ll most probably die,” Lu Zhou said in an even-keeled voice.

Hua Wudao was stunned by Lu Zhou’s claims since Lu Zhou had witnessed the might of his Six Compatible Seal. Just how confident was he?

Life was precious. There were not many who would take life and death lightly. After muttering to himself for some time, Hua Wudao cupped his fists and said, “Please show me your guidance, Pavilion Master. In the unfortunate event that I lose my life... Then, so be it.”

“Very well.” Lu Zhou continued walking toward the most spacious part of the great hall. At the same time, an item card appeared in his hand.

Hus Wudao did not sense any aura fluctuations or movements of Primal Qi from Lu Zhou. However, he did not let his guard down. He moved forward and slowly raised his hand.

The eight trigrams and the six script symbols of heaven, earth, life, death, water, and fire shone with golden radiance. They circled him. They were much more powerful and impressive than before. That was not all. Words appeared on Hua Wudao’s palms; they were ‘being’ and ‘non-being’. There were eight shining scripts, in total. When his Primal Qi surged, the Daoist seals orbited around these eight scripts.

Nobody expected Hua Wudao would be able to conceal his strength when he faced Duanmu Sheng earlier. He had transformed the Six Compatible Seal into an Eight Compatible Seal, on top of the eight trigrams. He was not bluffing! Indeed, he had only used half of his powers earlier!

Hua Wudao stared at Lu Zhou with a keen gaze. He made an inviting gesture. “I’m ready!”

The eight scripts hovered in the air, shining with a dazzling brightness.

Everyone’s attention shifted to Lu Zhou. They wondered if the old man would be able to break through Hua Wudao’s seal. Hua Wudao was not Zuo Xinchan after all. He was much more powerful than Zuo Xinchan. Judging by this technique alone, Hua Wudao’s Six Compatible Seal was 1,000 times more powerful than Zuo Xinchan’s Dhyana Mudra! Could Lu Zhou break through this skill? Everyone waited with bated breath.

Lu Zhou raised his right hand. The light blue card shattered in his palm. This time, there was no vortex. Instead, there was a symbol of a lightning bolt. He condensed his Qi into energy, and suddenly, a bolt of lightning shrouded with energy struck from the sky!

“Thunderblast?! How’s this possible?!” Zhou Jifeng and Pan Zhong stared with their mouths agape.

Duanmu Sheng, Mingshi Yin, and Little Yuan’er were also shocked by this unfamiliar technique. Throughout their years of being Lu Zhou’s disciples, they had never seen their master unleashing this skill! Moreover, this skill was Thunderblast!

Boom!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the bolt of lightning wrapped in energy struck the Six Compatible Seal.

Sparks flew everywhere and clouds of smoke filled the air.

Whoosh!

Hua Wudao was rapidly pushed back from the powerful impact.
