Chapter 2816: Triumphant Brawl
Everyone now realized why the spiritual force had entered Chu Jian\'s body. Sage Yuan had used his innate gift right before his death to help the Junior Sovereign avenge the Sage.
Chu Jian was the only one present who could fight Lu Yin, which was why he was the only option that Sage Yuan could have chosen.
The Junior Sovereign felt an endless well of energy within his body. It was enough power to instantly give him the raw power of a peak powerhouse. Chu Jian had already possessed the combat strength to fight against peak powerhouses, but at this moment, he had the raw power to match that level as well. However, there was no telling how long this strength would last for.
Lu Yin praised, "Not a bad innate gift. That, combined with what you had already prepared, means that you should let me see what the perfect Junior Sovereign is capable of."
No one could understand what Lu Yin was saying, as no one could see anything that Chu Jian had prepared. Still, Lu Yin had made several mentions of Sage Yuan buying a bit of time for Chu Jian. Just what had Chu Jian been preparing?
When Chu Jian’s hand rose, Purple Auspice appeared, and it shot at Lu Yin.
From behind Lu Yin, Leng Qing leaped forward and chopped at the attack, heading it off. At the same time, Progenitor Nong also attacked, and his hoe fell, crushing the void with a terrifying power.
A Fifth Level Lotus bloomed in front of Chu Jian as he waved a hand to slap at Leng Qing. The falling blade glittered in the light. Chu Jian had a Fifth Level Lotus protecting him, but it was not enough, and cuts appeared all over his body.
He did not use his innate gift to avoid the attacks, and instead allowed more and more wounds to appear on his body.
No one noticed that the blood leaking out of the Junior Sovereign’s body was translucent, or that it seemed to have a golden color to it. The golden light of the Investiture of the Gods shone down, making it difficult to see the golden color of Chu Jian\'s blood.
However, as time passed, that golden color was eventually noticed.
"Is that the golden blood of Sovereign Dou Sheng?" someone exclaimed.
Xiu Ci and many others were startled.
Xu Heng could not hold back from calling out, "Junior Brother, be careful! Chu Jian has the same blood as Sovereign Dou Sheng!"
"Wrong." Mu Ke lifted his head as he spoke. "He has cultivated Triumphant Brawl."
Xu Wuwei\'s expression grew solemn. "Of the Three Sovereigns and Nine Sages, Sovereign Dou Sheng is unquestionably the strongest, which is why he is called the Little Great Sovereign. With Triumphant Brawl, meeting a more powerful opponent will only strengthen a person. The more you fight, the stronger you become. It is also known as the ultimate fighting skill. It’s quite surprising that Chu Jian has managed to cultivate Triumphant Brawl."
Lord Xu watched as Chu Jian continued to endure the attacks of Leng Qing and Progenitor Nong, his body releasing more and more blood. The more the Junior Sovereign bled, the greater his combat power became. It was no wonder why he refused to use his innate gift.
However, cultivating Triumphant Brawl was not a simple matter. Despite the countless years that had gone by, no one but Sovereign Dou Sheng himself had ever successfully learned the battle technique. In the past, Chu Jian had constantly relied on his innate gift to avoid receiving any attack, so how had he managed to cultivate Triumphant Brawl?
Sovereign Shao Yin felt incredibly jealous. He had not known that Chu Jian cultivated Triumphant Brawl. The Sovereign had dreamed of acquiring that particular battle technique. Thinking of how he had been ignored by Sovereign Dou Sheng only served to increase Sovereign Shao Yin’s jealousy.
Why had Chu Jian been allowed to learn the technique?
I was clearly the one who helped him maintain his image of being perfect. I was the one who kept warning him about the dangerous situations and to stay safe. I was the one who kept him away from the Endless Frontier, and yet it turns out that he actually cultivates Triumphant Brawl?
Lu Yin had frequently heard of Sovereign Dou Sheng. He was a legendary figure who, despite being at odds with the Great Sovereign, had still managed to become a dominant individual in the Sixverse Association. Whenever the Sovereign fought, his opponents were always one of the Seven Skygods.
Sovereign Dou Sheng was someone whom the Great Sovereign hated, and yet could do nothing about.
Lu Yin had not expected to face Triumphant Brawl in this place.
There was a roar as Chu Jian’s golden blood moved, wrapping itself around his body. It looked like molten lava as it formed a golden armor around Chu Jian, raising his strength substantially.
Everyone was stunned by the sight.
Most of the people present had seen Sovereign Dou Sheng’s battles before, and while Chu Jian could not compare to the Sovereign, Triumphant Brawl still caused the Junior Sovereign’s strength to rise precipitously.
Beyond the tea ceremony, countless people’s breathing quickened as they cheered and shouted for Chu Jian. They fanatically supported the perfect Junior Sovereign. Chu Jian had previously been utterly crushed by Lu Yin, which had stolen the breath of the audience, but the situation had just turned around. The Junior Sovereign’s strength had soared, and he was clearly no longer an opponent whom someone from the Origin Universe could stand up to.
At this moment, Lu Yin was able to observe Triumphant Brawl for the first time with Heaven’s Sight. This was a very interesting battle technique.
The power that Lu Yin sensed from Chu Jian had completely transformed compared to the beginning of the battle. It was as though Lu Yin was facing an entirely different person.
As for Chu Jian, he bent his head. The golden blood that flowed out from his body dripped into his palm and then formed a long golden staff. Ripples spread out from the weapon, creating powerful winds that buffeted the area.
Slowly, the Junior Sovereign’s head rose, and he looked at Lu Yin. "Thank you. If not for you, I would have forgotten about this skill.
"I\'ve been cultivating this battle technique since childhood, but the older I become, the stranger this technique becomes. Before, I didn\'t know why, but I understand now. It was because I was afraid—afraid of losing my perfection and afraid of danger. I want to remain undefeated, but the more true that became, the less worthy I was of this battle technique.
"If enough time goes by, can anyone truly remain invincible? The more one is defeated, the braver they become, and through battle, they become invincible. This will be our decisive battle.
"Lu Xiaoxuan, you have made me my current self."
Lu Yin smiled happily, but he also clearly dismissed Chu Jian’s confidence. "Are you sure that this is really an accomplishment?"
The moment Lu Yin spoke, the summoned Leng Qing raised his blade and attacked. Chu Jian’s head snapped up, and he lashed out with his golden staff.
Clang!
A loud noise rang out as a terrifying shockwave spread out from the point of impact, sweeping out in every direction. If not for the tea ceremony, the entire nearby space would have been shattered.
This was the first time that Chu Jian was directly facing an attack, and he accepted Leng Qing\'s blade. Behind the Junior Sovereign, Progenitor Nong\'s hoe fell, and Chu Jian turned around and released a palm strike. An Annhiliation Phoenix appeared in an instant, but this time, the Annhiliation Phoenix was shrouded with a golden light.
Gold clashed against gold; one was from the Investiture of the Gods, while the other came from Triumphant Brawl.
With Triumphant Brawl, Chu Jian had actually gained the power to directly clash against Leng Qing.
The Junior Sovereign’s strength kept rising higher and higher. The golden blood was like a power source that was constantly raising him higher and higher. The longer the fight continued on for, the stronger Chu Jian became.
Lu Yin watched calmly, his eyes lighting up.
This was a very good battle technique. Just as its name suggested, Triumphant Brawl made the user stronger the more they fought. Chu Jian was extraordinarily talented, and it was not unreasonable to refer to him as perfect. He had successfully cultivated Triumphant Brawl as a child. It was possible that both Lu Yin and Chu Jian were the same type of people: geniuses that only appeared once across countless eras.
Despite only recently becoming a Progenitor, Leng Qing was incomparable to the average Progenitor. Given enough time, there was no doubt that Leng Qing would rise up to become one of the strongest Progenitors who had not touched upon sequence particles. There was also a very good chance that he would eventually reach the level of influencing the laws of the universe.
However, Leng Qing’s breakthrough was simply far too recent.
Chu Jian used his staff to fight back against both Leng Qing and Progenitor Nong. While the Junior Progenitor was still being suppressed, the disadvantage was not nearly as pronounced as before. Furthermore, with Chu Jian’s strength continuously rising as the battle continued, he even found an opening to attack Lu Yin.
Spiritual Clone. Prostrate Before the Sage. Seven Divine Arrows. One attack after another was launched at Lu Yin.
However, all attacks collapsed before reaching Lu Yin.
The figurine of Flame God had appeared on Lu Yin\'s shoulder as he watched Chu Jian fight while shrouded with the golden light. Runes filled the area, and Chu Jian’s power was weakened.
No matter how powerful an attack or person became, as long as there was a corresponding number of runes, Truesight could be used to reduce its power.
Chu Jian was no exception.
There was a bang. Leng Qing’s blade had struck the golden staff, knocking Chu Jian back. The young man was badly startled. What had just happened? He should have clearly been able to block the attack.
Green leaves shot towards Chu Jian, and he quickly evaded, only to look up and see another attack slicing down. The Junior Sovereign’s arm was sliced open, causing him to nearly drop his golden staff.
He instantly turned to stare at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was still standing in place, not moving. He looked completely relaxed and at ease, but Chu Jian could feel some sort of elusive power influencing him. What had the man just done?
Very few people could clearly see what had happened.
Lord Xu exclaimed, "Just how many different powers has this Lu boy cultivated?"
Lord Wei’s eyes narrowed. Runes? Were they being reduced?
Mu Shen spoke up in admiration, "This power is quite odd, and it even has a sense of irreversibility. While it has not quite touched that level, it still possesses a similar power. The Origin Universe truly has some talented individuals!"
Using Triumphant Brawl meant that Chu Jian grew stronger and stronger the longer he fought. Who could defeat such an opponent? Lu Yin dealt with this obstacle by reducing the number of runes and weakening Chu Jian back down.
No matter how talented Chu Jian might be, Triumphant Brawl could never be truly omnipotent. After all, there was a limited amount of blood.
The golden armor shattered into pieces that fell off. Chu Jian spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale. No, I can’t keep this up any longer!
Lu Xiaoxuan had not even attacked yet. He had only relied on a cheat-like power to overpower Chu Jian. How could anything be so ridiculously unreasonable?
As Chu Jian stared at Lu Yin, madness returned to his eyes. He wanted to fight to the death. Even if he died, at the very least, he would force Lu Xiaoxuan to take action himself.
Chu Jian had never imagined that the day would come when he would risk his life for nothing more than an attempt to force a hated opponent to take action.
Many people shook their heads. It was clear that Chu Jian had already done his best.
At this tea ceremony, Sage Yuan had been killed, and the Junior Sovereign was being thoroughly suppressed. The heir of the Lu family had not made an appearance to attend the Great Sovereign’s tea ceremony, but rather to slap the Great Sovereign’s face.
Leng Qing’s blade rose up high and chopped down.
Suddenly, Lu Yin\'s eyes flared, and Leng Qing\'s blade froze.
With Heaven’s Sight, Lu Yin could see that sequence particles had abruptly appeared and were completely surrounding Chu Jian. They came from the Great Sovereign.
Lu Yin looked up at the Great Sovereign.
Lord Xu and the others at their level also instinctively turned to look at the Great Sovereign.
The Great Sovereign spoke, and her voice fell upon the Nine Heavens. However, her words were elusive and impossible to hear clearly. It was like hearing a voice from countless years before. This was the sound of the Dao.
This was the true start of the tea ceremony. The Great Sovereign had started teaching. This was the most important portion of each tea ceremony.
Since ancient times, countless people had listened to these teachings and used them to achieve breakthroughs. This was why the Great Sovereign’s tea ceremonies were regarded as the most important events in the Sixverse Association.
How many people had successfully become peak powerhouses after attending a tea ceremony? How many had managed to overcome bottlenecks in their cultivation because of what they gained during the tea ceremonies?
At this moment, before Chu Jian and Lu Yin’s fight reached a conclusion, the Great Sovereign had started teaching.
Her words not only reached everyone seated at the tea ceremony, but also all the people who had been allowed to observe the tea ceremony.
Once the lecture started, Chu Jian’s mind grew clear, and he reflexively released his inner world. In his Miniature Cycle of Reincarnation, he was able to see some details and aspects that had previously been extremely difficult to perceive.
Lu Yin did nothing to stop Chu Jian. The gap between the two of them was too vast, and Lu Yin was curious to see if the Great Sovereign could help Chu Jian close that gap. If that happened, a potential power-up from Chu Jian could help Lu Yin in some way.
Lu Yin had decided to attend the tea ceremony because Mister Mu had mentioned that the Great Sovereign’s tea ceremonies might be of help to Lu Yin. He would not let go of any such opportunity, not even during a battle. Besides that, Lu Yin did not even care about his match with Chu Jian. The Junior Sovereign had been utterly crushed by Lu Yin from start to finish.
