Boom!
In a flash, two powerful energies clashed like lightning bolts. Kacrack! Space shattered as visible white shockwaves rippled through the air. Wang Chong’s Great Distortion Art and Dusong Mangpoje’s ‘Gandhagaja Buddha Fist’ only remained in a stalemate for a few moments before the outcome was decided.
There was a thunderous drone as Dusong Mangpoje’s destructive and gigantic steel fist was twisted, pulled and torn apart by an inconceivable power, leaving a black fissure more than one hundred feet long in the air!
“What?!”
Dusong Mangpoje was alarmed by this sight. His ‘Gandhagaja Buddha Fist’ was one of the supreme techniques taught by the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple.
In the legends of the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple, the Gandhagaja Buddha was a divine elephant born in the early stages of the world. After cultivating for ten thousand kalpas, it was finally able to become a supreme and immortal Buddha, and its divine power penetrated through spacetime, spreading through the past, present, and future, awing the universe with the inextinguishable level it had reached.
This was a powerful technique that Dusong Mangpoje had only received after becoming a Great General. He had never expected that Wang Chong would be able to tear it in two.
Clang!
With no time to think, Dusong Mangpoje rapidly switched up his technique. Clangclangclang! An icy light exploded from Dusong Mangpoje’s body, and then starry points of light appeared in the fierce gales of wind, transforming into a dazzling silver river of saber energy that slashed at Wang Chong.
Although Dusong Mangpoje was extremely formidable in fist techniques, as one of the best Tibetan Great Generals, he was still most formidable when it came to saber arts. As the saber attack flew forward, time and space seemed to stop. This saber energy was heavy and swift and was capable of cleaving all in two. This was one of Dusong Mangpoje’s strongest abilities.
But Dusong Mangpoje was caught off guard once more. Wang Chong plunged toward Dusong Mangpoje’s saber energy rather than falling back. With a stomp, Wang Chong flew forward, making no attempt to defend himself.
This madman!
Dusong Mangpoje instantly understood what Wang Chong was trying, and he paled in alarm. Wang Chong was trying to bring Dusong Mangpoje down with him. Dusong Mangpoje’s body flickered as he retreated, but then, he was surprised once more. Bang! The moment he retreated, the earth cracked apart, and a centipede monster emerged from the earth to strike Dusong Mangpoje.
Masil’s pet!
Dusong Mangpoje was greatly alarmed as he realized the identity of this monster.
In the past, Wang Chong would have never been able to hide this move from him, but Dusong Mangpoje had been so focused on Wang Chong, obsessed with killing him, that he had ignored any activity underground.
But even so, Dusong Mangpoje remained calm. Boom! A destructive bolt of Stellar Energy shot out from Dusong Mangpoje’s body, traveling through his right foot to strike the centipede monster.
“Ah!”
He suddenly groaned. Before he was able to slay Masil’s centipede monster, he had felt a piercing pain in his right foot. As the centipede monster had hurtled toward him, it had savagely bitten at Dusong Mangpoje’s leg. At this moment, Dusong Mangpoje remembered a fatal fact. He had heard from the Arabs that Masil’s centipede was venomous.
Buzz!
As this thought flitted through his mind, Dusong Mangpoje felt a numbness in his right leg.
Such a thing at a time like this was simply lethal!
Bang!
At this moment, Dusong Mangpoje’s saber energy struck Wang Chong’s body. Plush! Wang Chong fiercely spat out a mouthful of blood, his ruddy face immediately turning ghastly pale. But at the same time, thump! Thump! Wang Chong had succeeded in getting physical contact with Dusong Mangpoje, his palms pressing onto his body.
“Madman! You truly are a madman…”
Dusong Mangpoje’s eyes flew open. He could see that blood was pouring out from Wang Chong’s forehead, mouth, the corners of his eyes, and his armor, a sight which both shocked and infuriated him. He had never imagined that Wang Chong would hold so much killing intent against him, even daring to receive an attack and be heavily injured to get close to him.
Bang!
As these thoughts flitted through his mind, an enormous energy erupted. It was the same Great Distortion Art, but this time, it had exploded within Dusong Mangpoje’s body. In the blink of an eye, Dusong Mangpoje’s organs and viscera were twisted by this dreadful power, impacting against his own body.
Plush! Dusong Mangpoje was almost instantly severely wounded, and it was still far from over.
“Dusong Mangpoje, hand over your life!”
Booom! Wang Chong exerted his strength through his hands, raising Dusong Mangpoje over his head. He pushed the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art to its limits, causing a vast torrent of Great General energy to rush out of Dusong Mangpoje’s body, transforming into a bloody mist that flowed into Wang Chong’s palms.
Wang Chong’s strength had already reached that limit, only a sliver away from reaching that level, but the quality of the energy he absorbed meant that he had been unable to break through that barrier.
But now, with Dusong Mangpoje’s pure Great General energy, he felt like he was experiencing sweet rain after a drought. Every cell in his body relaxed and began to madly absorb this precious Great General energy, and Wang Chong’s strength began to rapidly soar. Finally…
Boom!
In a dazzling flash of light, a golden stream of energy soared into the heavens, clearly visible from as far as several dozen li away.
All the Origin Energy in the world immediately began to rapidly vibrate. The vast golden energy that had erupted from Wang Chong’s body was like a massive boulder smashing into a lake, creating massive waves of energy within a range of several hundred li around Talas.
This fierce and massive wave of energy immediately stole everyone’s attention. Ziyad, Aybak, Huoshu Huicang, and even Qutaybah couldn’t help but turn and glance. At this moment, time slowed down to a crawl as everyone stared in stupefaction at that golden figure.
There was no person who had just broken into the Great General level that could create such astonishing heavenly phenomena. What had happened with Wang Chong was already beyond common sense.
“Dusong Mangpoje!”
A stunned and particularly shrill voice shattered the silence brought about by this major shift.
In the rear of the army, Dalun Ruozan’s ever-calm and unperturbed voice was now a picture of extreme shock and panic. While everyone else was stunned by the phenomena created by Wang Chong advancing to the Great General level, only Dalun Ruozan noticed Dusong Mangpoje being held up high in the air in Wang Chong’s hands like he was a puppet.
Dusong Mangpoje had lost!
Perhaps he might have had a chance to escape before Wang Chong had advanced to the Great General level, but now that Wang Chong was a Great General, Dusong Mangpoje had no chance of returning alive.
I finally succeeded!
No one could describe the feeling in Wang Chong’s heart at this moment. After being reincarnated, Wang Chong had once more advanced to the Imperial Great General level, regaining the cultivation level of his last life.
Boomboomboom!
With this change in cultivation level, Wang Chong’s body began to clang and clatter as the Stellar Energy in his body rapidly recomposed itself into an even stronger Stellar Energy. Just a few seconds later, Wang Chong’s strength began to swell once more.
The basic level, middle level, high level… Wang Chong passed through the levels of Great General in seconds where others would need decades.
No longer hampered by his lowered cultivation level, Wang Chong was able to fully apply his experience and knowledge. Unlike normal Great Generals, he did not need to spend time building up knowledge, so he rapidly broke through the basic and middle levels.
With another earthshaking metallic boom, a dazzling golden halo emerged from Wang Chong’s body and onto the ground. Wang Chong had finally emerged from his cocoon. In terms of mental demeanor or physical cultivation, he had become a completely different person, an unfathomable individual.
“This, this… this is impossible!”
Dusong Mangpoje, who was linked with Wang Chong through their energy, was still clinging to consciousness. He could clearly sense the changes in Wang Chong, and these changes had completely surpassed his imagination.
Never in Dusong Mangpoje’s many experiences had he seen anybody else achieve such a massive boost in strength the moment after becoming a Great General.
Not only that, even the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art seemed to have been transformed now that Wang Chong was a Great General. That suction became even more frightening and inescapable, and the rate at which Dusong Mangpoje’s Stellar Energy flowed into Wang Chong’s body increased by several times.
“No one can do this! This is impossible! Just who are you?”
Dusong Mangpoje stared at Wang Chong, his eyes brimming with shock. His organs and meridians were under Wang Chong’s complete control, making him incapable of moving, but his mind was still clear and sober.
Dusong Mangpoje looked at Wang Chong as if he was looking at an enormous black hole. Nothing about him could be interpreted through the lens of common sense.
“Dusong Mangpoje, goodbye! If you are reborn, then come and ask me that question again!”
Wang Chong’s eyes were cold as he refused to answer the question. The Great Distortion Art was pushed to its limits, and in a flash, the last sliver of Stellar Energy was drained out of Dusong Mangpoje’s body. Clack! With all his energy drained, Dusong Mangpoje’s head dropped, his consciousness dissipating into a boundless darkness.
Obsessed with the battle of the triangular gap and the death of Dayan Mangban, for the sake of his revenge, Dusong Mangpoje had ultimately died on the foreign battlefield of Talas!
