The Nine Cauldrons Chapter 560
Advertisement
Emperor Yu's Hall has been established for over six thousand years. There were people who stormed to Emperor Yu's Hall and argued fiercely with the representatives of Emperor Yu's Hall. However, there was only a very rare number of people who had the guts to take action. In the past, both parties only fought verbally. Those who took action placed their lives at risk.
Moreover, the people in the Land of the Nine Prefectures were very much intimidated by the presence of Emperor Yu's Hall. There were only a few people who dared to stir up a huge commotion in Emperor Yu's Hall.
"Teng Qingshan, what are you going to do!?" Huan Tianqin could no longer suppress his anger. Liu Xia and Yu Feng were both prepared. All of them glared at Teng Qingshan.
"What am I about to do?"
Suddenly, Teng Qingshan smiled coldly. He pointed at Huang Tianqin and the other two and shouted, "I, Teng Qingshan, am not someone who would simply wrong others. However, I am not someone who will be taken advantage of. Listen closely… Besides the "Tiger Form Fist Art", all the other cultivation techniques of Internal Martial Arts that I created are not for any outsiders. Those who steal the other cultivation techniques of Internal Martial Art will be enemies of the Xing Yi Sect!"
"Today, Emperor Yu's Hall stole the cultivation technique of the Xing Yi Sect. Tomorrow, another sect might steal another cultivation technique of my sect. If this continues, how is my sect going to thrive?"
Teng Qingshan thrust his longspear forward as he said, "Since Emperor Yu's Hall has the audacity to steal the cultivation technique of the Xing Yi Sect, I will destroy the sacred palace of Emperor Yu's Hall first! Then I will destroy the many palaces in Emperor Yu's Hall." As soon as Teng Qingshan said these words, he emitted a loud cry and the Undying Phoenix immediately flew towards the sacred palace.
"Impudent!"
"How dare you!"
"Stop it!"
Huang Tianqin, Liu Xia, and Yu Feng almost shouted at the same time.
Destroy the sacred palace and many other palaces?
How could they tolerate this?
"Yu Feng, move to the side," Huang Tianqin said with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique. As a beginner in the Emptiness Realm, Yu Feng would be immediately killed if he were to go up against Teng Qingshan. While Huang Tianqin spoke, he grabbed the purple and black battle blade equipped on his back. As for Liu Xia, he held the incredibly big axe that looked slightly similar to the Splitting Mountain Axe.
Whew! Whew!
Huang Tianqin and Liu Xia both held their godly weapons and roared as they began their pursuit.
"Haha, great timing." Teng Qingshan immediately leaped off the Undying Phoenix's back and simultaneously said with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique, "Wow, two against one? Awesome!"
"You are not good enough to have both of us fight against you alone." Huang Tianqin hovered right above the sacred palace, blocking Teng Qingshan's way. He sneered and replied, "Teng Qingshan, I will let you taste the power of the axe cultivation techniques in the "Nine Cauldrons Heavenly Book"." At this moment, Liu Xia, who was at the side, went up against Teng Qingshan with the axe in his hand.

One versus one!
Even until now, the members of Emperor Yu's Hall still cherished their reputation. Moreover, they weren't blindly arrogant. They had cultivated the "Nine Cauldrons Heavenly Book". After the attainment of Emptiness Realm Culmination, they were also able to exert 120% of the Power of the Heavens and Earth! They had reached the peak of the Emptiness Realm. Therefore, they thought that it was impossible for them to lose against any other Emptiness Realm Expert!
Unfortunately—
Their opponent was Teng Qingshan!
Teng Qingshan was also able to exert 120% of the power of the Heavens and Earth. Moreover, his physical strength attributed another 10% to his full strength. This meant that Teng Qingshan was able to exert 130% of the power of the Heavens and Earth. The extra 10% of power would determine the result of the fight!
"Hmph!"
Liu Xia was like a shooting star in the sky. He was just like Pan Gu, the one who split the heavens and earth and created the world. Liu Xia held his godly axe high up and the Power of the Heavens and Earth he had exerted immediately made the surroundings very gloomy. It was as though that godly axe in Liu Xia's hands was the only thing left in the world. A brilliant light could be seen swirling around the axe.
"Break!" Teng Qingshan roared.
The Reincarnation Spear in his hands moved abruptly.
Rumble~~~
"Roar~~" For a moment, tiger roars resonated in the mountains. The image of a tiger actually hovered around the tip of Teng Qingshan's Reincarnation Spear. Indeed, Teng Qingshan forcefully blocked the attack of the axe.
Five Elemental Spear Arts—Scarlet Tiger Cannon!
The Five Elemental Spear Art had a technique called "Toxic Dragon Drill." And now, whenever Teng Qingshan performed this technique, he could exert his full power. The coordination of the 120% power and the physical strength amounted to 130% of power. The other four techniques could only display 110% of the Power of the Heavens and Earth. With the attribution of the physical strength, the total amount of strength would only reach 120%!
Scarlet Tiger Cannon displayed 120% of the Power of the Heavens and Earth!
Bang!
The longspear clashed with the godly axe in mid-air.
A loud explosion sounded. The strong shock waves diffused and the entire space quivered. The trees, flowers, and grass, as well as the rocks, instantly turned into dust. The top of the mountain seemed to have gotten a haircut. The top layer of earth in which plants grew was removed and all that was left was the blunt layer of rocks.
"Stay out of the way!"
"Dodge."
The elite disciples of Emperor Yu's Hall and the silly-looking bears were originally looking up. But now, all of them scattered around, trying to leave the battlefield of the experts who had reached Emptiness Realm Culmination. The Emptiness Realm Expert Yu Feng even ordered, "Get farther away. Go at least one Li away from this place."
The impact produced by the technique sent Liu Xia and Teng Qingshan several Zhang away from each other. Liu Xia then ascended the sky and hovered in mid-air.
"Teng Qingshan, I didn't expect your spear art to be this power." Liu Xia praised while laughing. At this moment, he was trying to calm and adjust the turbulent qi and blood within his body. There had never been an Omnipotent Expert who specialized in the cultivation of the longspear before. Therefore, it was obvious that Teng Qingshan himself had created this powerful spear technique. Liu Xia had to admit that Teng Qingshan was indeed an incredibly talented person.

"Your axe skills are quite good as well."
Teng Qingshan suddenly moved and rapidly flew toward Liu Xia.
"What?! He doesn't need to rest and readjust his body?" Liu Xia was astonished. Both sides had attacked each other with the 120% of Power of Heaven and Earth. The rebounding force was tremendously powerful. If Liu Xia hadn't exerted enough self-control, he would have spat out a mouthful of blood.
Teng Qingshan and Liu Xia were fighting like ordinary people. Both of them were hitting each other forcefully with their weapons. The impacts caused agonizing pain.
Liu Xia was always aware that Teng Qingshan, the creator of Internal Martial Arts, was physically strong.
Yet—
Liu Xia only knew that the cultivators of Internal Martial Arts could have a physical strength of several thousand Jin. However, the rebounding force affected the internal organs. The ordinary Internal Martial Arts cultivators only had strong muscles. Even if they attained the Grandmaster Realm, they could only exert control over their muscles, bones, and blood.
Their internal organs had not been truly strengthened.
Only if their physical strength reached 800,000 Jin and only if they reached the final stage of Supreme Force could they then have internal organs as strong and tough as the tissues, bones, and muscles and maybe much stronger than the Darksteel. When they reach that stage, their body would have reached perfection. The external and internal strength of the body would be perfect. Cultivators with such a perfect body would be able to withstand the rebounding force of the 120% power of the Heavens and Earth without suffering any injuries.
Even if Teng Qingshan's eldest disciple, Teng Shou, had reached the final stage of Supreme, he only had the physical strength of 500,000 Jin. His physical strength was still increasing, but it has not reached perfection.
Therefore, only very few people know about the concept of a perfect body; at least this concept was unknown by Emperor Yu's Hall.
In the sky above the Blind Bear Mountain Range, Teng Qingshan appeared like an enraged demon. He held his Reincarnation Spear and attacked Liu Xia in a crazy manner. His attacks were continuous! His attacks were like the flood waters that had breached dike and inundated constantly.
Pu!
Liu Xia could barely block against the three attacks. The impact of the fourth spear strike caused Liu Xia to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"How could he still be fine?" Liu Xia mourned internally. He couldn't bother to care about his reputation anymore as he turned and fled.
"Liu Xia, don't run!" Teng Qingshan roared as he rapidly pursued.
"What's going on?" The Emptiness Realm Expert Huang Tianqin, who was watching the fight, had a change of expression. He immediately dashed over and stood beside Liu Xia. The two Emptiness Realm Experts finally decided to work together.
Teng Qingshan stopped in mid-air.
The three experts who had reached Emptiness Realm Culmination stared at each other.
"Oh? Are you guys working together now?" Teng Qingshan scanned the two and said, "Didn't you say that one is enough to fight against me? Didn't you say that I am not good enough to fight against you two at the same time?"
Hearing this, Huang Tianqin and Liu Xia's facial expressions looked terrible.
"Liu Xia, what's going on? How did you lose?" Huang Tianqin asked with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique. Huang Tianqin had been watching from the side. He couldn't estimate the amount of impact produced by the attacks of both Teng Qingshan and Liu Xia.
"Freak." Liu Xia looked embarrassed as he replied with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique. "Martial Uncle, my first move was the most powerful technique. I wanted to defeat Teng Qingshan as quickly as possible. However, I did not expect Teng Qingshan's spear art to display 120% of Power of the Heavens and Earth."
"What?" Huang Tianqin was astonished.
"Not only this, the power of his spear actually reached 120%. His attacks were continuous. The powerful rebounding force didn't affect him at all. It's as though he's an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert," Liu Xia explained. "Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts are able to utilize the power of the world to perfect their bodies."
Huang Tianqin couldn't believe what he just heard. "Teng Qingshan isn't an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert."
Both of them could sense Teng Qingshan's aura, and it wasn't the aura of an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert.
...
"Have you two thought about how you plan to fight me?" Teng Qingshan shot a glance at Huang Tianqin and lifted his longspear horizontally. Under the radiant sunlight, the tip of the spear reflected a cold glint.
"Teng Qingshan, don't be too arrogant." Huang Tianqin sneered.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Huang Tianqin and Liu Xia both dashed toward Teng Qingshan, heading toward Teng Qingshan from two directions. This time, they didn't care about their reputation anymore. The Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast of Emperor Yu's Hall and Teng Qingshan's Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast weren't requested to join this fight. It was obvious that both sides were confident.
"Even if it's two against one, I will still beat you two up!"
Under the sunlight, Teng Qingshan's big hands looked as though they were made of iron.
As he held his Reincarnation Spear, the longspear suddenly multiplied. It was as though trees suddenly grew and flourished on the vast earth. The many shadows of Teng Qingshan's spear launched forward. Simultaneously, Liu Xia and Huang Tianqin sensed the aura of life, feeling as though they were surrounded by a great number of trees.
Puchi! Puchi!
With the use of his strong hands, Teng Qingshan began performing the Pursuing Shadow spear art!
His every strike showed a tremendous force.
Bang! Bang!
Teng Qingshan was attacking recklessly, acting as though he had gone crazy. Even though Liu Xia and Huang Tianqin were working together, they seemed to be unable to withstand Teng Qingshan's attacks.
"Pu!" Liu Xia, who had already been injured, spat out a mouthful of blood again. He was thrown out into the air and landed on the top of a hill far away.
"You too," Teng Qingshan roared.
His spear art changed as he began to perform Slashing Mountain.
He lifted up his Reincarnation Spear and smashed it towards Huang Tianqin, whose face had turned red.
