Chapter 1894 - The Momentary God!
1894 The Momentary God!
Every one of the ten great abyssal monarchs had their own trump cards. In a sense, they were all capable of mobilizing the abyssal plane’s power. At present, the light orb in the Black Monarch’s hands was precisely the core of the plane level, where she together with the numerous Black Empresses came from.
The king-ranked abyssal leaders were the abyssal cores themselves. They were incapable of separating themselves from the cores. The entire level would be doomed when the core was destroyed or devoured.
On the other hand, the monarch-ranked powerhouses had the ability to mobilize the core power. In other words, they could rely on the abyssal cores to focus the power of their respective levels on their bodies. It was akin to absorbing and devouring all the powers of their clansmen for themselves.
Why was the Spirit Monarch capable of elevating his spiritual power from the preliminary Divine Origin to an even higher level when he was confronted by Gu Yuena? Precisely because he had mobilized his abyssal core at the time. The cumulative power of the abyssal Spirit Dragons was transferred to him temporarily in its entirety. Only then, would he be able to make the breakthrough. Unfortunately, his opponent was the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena.
The advantage of this transfer technique was that it allowed the creature to power up instantly. However, it had a serious flaw too. The recovery of this technique’s consumption was extremely difficult. The abyssal energy could only be regenerated after many years of recuperation, or when a large amount of life force was devoured.
Just like how the Black Monarch used her level’s core in the battle, the consumption would lower the overall rank of her entire clan in the abyss if she sustained the effort for a longer period. By then, she would no longer be a monarch-ranked abyssal powerhouse. If she sustained for a period whereby the core’s power was fully exhausted, then the entire Black Empress Clan would be annihilated.
Hence, the Black Monarch would only utilize her plane core’s power if it were her last resort.
Guan Yue’s expression changed drastically when he was confronted by the heavy, black light orb. He retreated and changed his posture to hold the Skycrosser Divine Spear with both his hands and tilt the spear in an upward motion.
His action appeared to be slow but steady. The tip of the spear hit the black light orb. At once, the light orb deflected and flew toward the sky.
Meanwhile, the Devil Monarch had returned. The Darkness Sky Domain appeared once again. The Black Monarch’s aura increased exponentially under the amplification of the Darkness Sky Domain. Even her plane core emitted a brighter radiance soon after. It circled the sky once before it shot out once again akin to a meteor chasing after the moon.
Guan Yue’s eyes squinted. He saw the Ferocious Wolf Douluo Dong Zian pounce toward the Devil Monarch, while he heard the Vast Sun Sky Guqin hum to resist the Darkness Sky Domain at the same time.
Time flew by in a flash!
Both parties’ overall fighting capacities were on par. If this were a one-on-one match, the War God Hall would be at a disadvantage. They did not manage to cash in on their opportunities. The opposing team barely wavered despite losing the Sickle Emperor. It would be tough to win this battle if the Vast Sun Sky Guqin could not be sustained further.
“Fight!” Guan Yue shouted aloud with a resonant voice. The Skycrosser Divine Spear in his hand suddenly turned into a blinding incandescent color. Simultaneously, violent flames began to burn his body.
His four-word battle armor was burning, similar to how the Haughty Dragon Douluo Nan Gongyi burned his battle armor without the slightest hesitation. In the meantime, Guan Yue unleashed his battle armor’s power at its maximum!
A white hexagram appeared underneath the Skycrosser Douluo’s feet. At this very moment, his entire person’s essence, energy, and spirit were elevated to the peak instantly. His eyes were gleaming bright, and he was brimming with vitality. His entire person was immediately rejuvenated to being a youth once again. He had become a young man. Even though he looked like an ordinary young man, he had an immortal-like quality to him.
He took a step forward as if he had already crossed the edge of the sky. The Skycrosser Divine Spear in his hand stabbed forward in a manner that seemed heavy and slow. In reality, it was swift as lightning. It was between quick and slow, transitioning between Yin and Yang!
The Demon Empress had a shocked expression as she watched the battle in the distance.
She sensed it vividly when the Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue’s body burned in flames. It felt identical to when she broke through the limits and elevated to the God rank in the past. It was also a breakthrough of spiritual and soul power simultaneously. The Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue was no longer confined to quasi god rank for he had broken through to the God rank in a single attempt.
Everything appeared so simple and smooth. It seemed as if he did not need to exert any strength at all before he made the breakthrough which was almost impossible for mankind’s soul masters.
On the other hand, the spear which he used to stab forward was precisely the spear which broke through to the God rank. All Guan Yue’s essence, energy, and spirit were condensed in the spear upon completing the breakthrough.
The Black Monarch never expected the Skycrosser Douluo to unleash his spear at this moment.
In fact, even Guan Yue found himself in a peculiar state.
All sorts of thoughts and emotions emerged in his mind akin to a gushing fountain. He felt as if he had returned to his younger days.
In his youth, he was a soul master with an impressive natural endowment. Going by his natural endowment, he was no weaker than the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie. In fact, he was not lagging far behind the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming either.
Yun Ming once told him that he was not competitive enough. He was overly gentle. Even if he could make his way to the pinnacle, he would be taking a different path from them.
Guan Yue’s gentle demeanor throughout his life had become a natural extension of him. He made progress in his cultivation base over time and elevated himself every day. Based on his foundation, no one could compare to him even in the soul masters’ world. All his elevations and breakthroughs were accomplished seemingly without any extra effort.
Ever since Guan Yue became a quasi god, he had never attempted a breakthrough like the one the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie and the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming tried in the past.
Did he long for the God rank? He yearned for it, of course. Yet, he hoped that he could acquire what he yearned for in due time. He had faith that everything could be accomplished naturally.
Thus, he cultivated painstakingly everyday even after becoming a quasi god. He did not stop although his cultivation base had remained stagnant. He continued to practice diligently with every passing day. However, he had never attempted a breakthrough all this while.
He was aware that he was not as sharp as the Atlas Douluo nor the Boundless Sea Douluo. He knew he could not possibly succeed even if he were to attempt the breakthrough. Thus, he continued to endure and experience the world in silence.
He could not achieve the God rank, yet anyone at the quasi god rank could feel that level. Actually, he was the most gentle, but also the most hardworking person among the quasi gods. Inevitably, his comprehension was becoming more profound.
As a result, the Skycrosser Douluo adopted a different approach and found a path that belonged to him alone.
As he aged, there was nothing he could do to make the breakthrough regardless of how he accumulated. Guan Yue learned that it was impossible for him to achieve Godhood in his lifetime. Nevertheless, he was not disappointed. Moreover, he had made the decision to seek the opportunity to, at least, experience the God rank once in his lifetime.
The feeling was simple, yet it was clear. Although it only lasted a moment, it was enough for him.
There was nothing he could do to achieve the breakthrough, but he was capable of elevating himself to that rank temporarily if he spared no effort in adopting a method. The methodology was precisely through burning. He burned his origin power and all his other powers. He utilized that momentary sublimation to elevate himself to the God rank temporarily.
It was an extremely short moment. Due to his accumulation for so many years, it was possible for him to achieve it. Another Limit Douluo in his place could not possibly touch the rank regardless of how he burned himself.
The Atlas Douluo and the Boundless Sea Douluo’s choice were to attempt to make a real breakthrough by exhausting every possible means. On the other hand, Guan Yue’s choice was momentary youth!
Even he had no idea how long he would be able to sustain it when he had elevated himself to the God rank. However, it was not crucial for him since he had decided that he would give it a go before his body declined. It was one of his wildest dreams.
Today was the day he attempted it!
