Divine Arts 8: The Prison Realm
Chapter 507 Divine Art: The Eighteen Hell Realms
call!
The billowing smoke and dust were suddenly dispersed in all directions.
The ground beneath Otsutsuki Isshiki's feet cracked. He looked up at the figure in the air who was looking down at him from above. That usually indifferent face was so gloomy that it was almost as if water could drip from it.
His gaze was fixed on the seemingly ordinary weapon in Yun Shi's hand.
What exactly is that?
His "Shaoming Biguna" can shrink himself or other non-living entities to a microscopic scale in an instant and return to normal at any time.
This is the ability to change the rules of the world.
That's why it's called "divine magic".
The only thing that cannot be affected is other life forms.
Just now, "Shona Bikuna" failed to work against that weapon.
"The weapon in your hand..." Yi Shi said coldly, "is it from a living creature?"
Weapons with life and consciousness?
That's no longer a weapon.
It is a living organism.
With his eyes lowered, Yun Shiki looked down at Otsutsuki Isshiki, neither admitting nor denying, and his figure began to slowly rise.
A vast and powerful natural energy gradually gathered, and his aura seemed to resonate with heaven and earth.
The wind spun slowly around him, causing his robes to flutter, while thick clouds gathered and churned above his head.
"Ichi-shi, you're actually right."
As he spoke, Yun Shi's empty left hand moved slightly, his five fingers loosely clenched, and the other mace, which had been knocked away by Yi Shi's black staff, transformed into a stream of light and fell into his hand.
“We did indeed leave behind the ‘vessel’ and the ‘wedge’.”
He held the two maces in his hands and said, "So I'm curious, have you left yourself a way out?"
"If not, then you'll die here today."
Upon hearing this, Otsutsuki Isshiki's face darkened, while Kumoshiki flung his hands to the sides.
Buzz! Snap!
Yun Shi's double maces stretched and extended, transforming into a more slender and agile double whip with interconnected segments. They were drawn out in the air with two sharp explosions, and visible shockwaves spread out in a ring.
Rumble!
Almost at the same time as the explosion, a deafening thunderclap erupted from the low, thick, seemingly within-reach clouds above, with lightning roaring and surging deep within the clouds.
The flashing lightning illuminated the thick clouds and the earth below in a ghastly white light, and also revealed the cloud-like face of Yun Shi, who stood high above with his eyes lowered.
It further illuminated the area below, revealing the suddenly narrowed eyes of Isshiki Otsutsuki...
Yun Shi's lips moved slightly, and she said softly, "Fall."
Boom! Boom boom!!
Thunder roared, countless bolts of lightning tore through the clouds, and the mighty power of the heavens poured down on Otsutsuki Isshiki below. The blinding lightning engulfed the area where he stood, and the earth trembled in the thunderstorm!
The terrifying lightning strike lasted for several breaths before gradually subsiding, revealing a scene of utter devastation and charring, with ravines and deep holes cleaved by lightning everywhere, billowing thick smoke.
The spot where Otsutsuki Isshiki had stood was now empty, as if he had been reduced to ashes by a thunderbolt.
But the next moment, Yun Shi's left hand holding the whip moved, and the long whip lashed out behind him with a speed that was beyond visual perception!
Snapped! !
A sharp, piercing sonic boom, loud enough to tear eardrums, rang out. A blurry whip seemed to rip through space, striking the black rod that had appeared out of nowhere behind him and was aimed at his back.
Amidst the clang of metal on metal, the black staff was lashed out by a whip, flying backward and spinning into the distance.
Yun Shiki slowly turned around, and in the air not far away, the figure of Otsutsuki Isshiki appeared there at some point, and the vortex space gate behind him gradually disappeared and disappeared.
"You don't actually think that having these two strange weapons will allow you to kill me, do you?"
Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's white tailcoat remained spotless. He held a black stick the length of a rod in one hand, his expression icy, and his eyes filled with even more chill.
“A bastard is a bastard; he always has some unrealistic fantasies,” he said.
In response to Isshiki Otsutsuki's extremely insulting taunts, Yun Shi simply smiled and said, "Perhaps you should think more carefully about your words, after all..."
"These must be your last words."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Shi swung both hands simultaneously, and two long whips suddenly sliced through the air with a piercing sonic boom, lashing out at Yi Shi from the left and right.
clang!
With a flick of his wrist, Ōtsutsuki Issho pointed his black staff at the midpoint of the whip's force as it came from the left, deftly deflecting the long, cunningly angled whip slightly.
Almost simultaneously, he slightly shifted his body, flicked his fingers, and several shrunken black rods returned to their original size, shooting out like lightning towards Yun Shi.
Snapped!
With a flick of his wrist, the long whip coiled back like a serpent, shattering the black rod that was shot at him, and then flinging it towards the distant Otsutsuki Isshiki.
"Hmph!" Yi Shi snorted coldly, his black stick pointing, sweeping, and flicking, the shadows of the stick and whip colliding fiercely in the air, exploding a series of rapid sonic booms.
Clearly, physical combat is Yi Shi's forte; he handles the situation with ease, and can even sharpen his gaze during the gaps in his parries.
Several black rods shrunk by "Shōmei Bikūna" will shoot at the cloud from tricky angles.
however……
Boom! Boom boom!
Several more thick bolts of lightning suddenly struck Otsutsuki Issho from the rolling clouds overhead.
He subconsciously raised his eyes, his gaze locking onto the lightning that was tearing the sky apart, and his eyes narrowed.
Divine Art: Lesser Name Bikuna!
In an instant, the lightning bolts vanished and shrank, as if they had never existed.
Otsutsuki Isshiki also wanted to use "Shona Higana" to directly shrink and erase the thundercloud.
But it was only in that brief moment of looking up and activating his ability.
Snapped! !
A crisp, loud bang exploded from Yi Shi's body.
Yun Shi's long whip had been waiting for a long time, and taking advantage of this fleeting moment of opening, it lashed out hard at Yi Shi's body.
scoff!
The elegant, fitted white long-sleeved tuxedo he was wearing was torn open with a sharp rip, and the whip lashed solidly across his flesh.
"Cough!" Yi Shi groaned, staggered back a few steps, and steadied himself.
Where the whip had struck, the clothes were torn, and a deep, charred, bloody gash, revealing bone and flesh, was left there. Blood gushed out instantly, staining the tattered clothes red.
"you……"
Anger flared in Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes, but before he could utter his furious words...
*Smack! Smack! Smack!*
Yun Shi's offensive came down again like a storm, his two long whips turning into a sky full of whip shadows, with ear-piercing explosions, striking at Yi Shi from all directions!
The whip's shadows were numerous, alternating between real and feints. Each strike contained immense power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks. Thunderclouds in the sky also continuously struck down lightning, blocking Yi Shi's retreat and space.
Yi Shi had no choice but to swallow his words, his figure flashing as he searched for an opening amidst the whip's shadow and lightning.
He tried to shrink himself again by activating "Shona Bikona" to avoid the attack.
However, when he shrinks, although he can avoid the direct lashes of the whip, he cannot completely evade the area-of-effect attacks of lightning, and his shrunken body is still affected by the dense thunderstorm.
When he tries to shrink and erase the falling lightning with "Shonami Biguna" as before, he has to move his gaze upwards to lock onto the lightning.
In those brief moments when their gaze shifts, the cunning and ruthless whip lashes out from their blind spot, leaving them only able to hastily parry and dodge. *Crack!*
A whip lashed his arm, leaving a scorch mark.
scoff!
Another whip grazed his waist, tearing his robe.
boom!
A bolt of lightning exploded at his feet, the aftershocks causing his blood to surge.
Gradually, Isshiki Otsutsuki's once spotless white tailcoat became tattered and worn, covered with charred whip marks and lightning strike marks, and his body was covered with many wounds.
Soon, Yi Shi realized that this guy was simply using his own methods against him, forcing him to deal with the situation in a mess with a continuous and unpredictable barrage of attacks.
Just like when he used the black rod and "Shona Bikuna" to suppress his opponent.
"Damn bastard!"
Thinking of this, Yi Shi's usually cold and arrogant face finally showed a look of annoyance.
Boom! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The chakra within his body suddenly erupted, and an aura far more powerful and tyrannical than before soared into the sky, with countless black rods shooting out wildly like the spikes of a hedgehog bursting open!
The number and speed of the black rods reached a terrifying level, forcefully shattering several whip shadows and lightning bolts, and indiscriminately covering and shooting towards the area where Yun Shi was located!
Taking this opportunity, Ichishi looked at the thick thunderclouds that were constantly unleashing lightning, and his dark eyes narrowed.
The rolling thunderclouds were instantly shrunk and vanished, and the sky suddenly cleared, revealing the sky that had been obscured.
However, just as he cleared away the thunderclouds, several bolts of lightning still struck him squarely.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lightning exploded on Yi Shi's body, instantly shattering his already tattered robes into countless charred pieces, revealing his lean but blood-stained body beneath.
The intense pain caused Yi Shi to groan, but the ruthlessness in his eyes intensified. Taking advantage of the brief moment after the thunderclouds were cleared, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
"die!"
The next instant, he appeared behind Yun Shi like a ghost, his bare upper body bulging with muscles, his right fist clenched, chakra wrapped around it, and he punched Yun Shi in the back!
Wherever the fist passed, the air exploded with an unbearable roar.
Bang! !
A deafening explosion, like the sound of a giant drum, erupted. Centered on the two individuals, visible shockwaves swept outwards in all directions, scraping away another layer of the already ravaged ground below.
However, the scene of Yun Shi being blasted away by a single punch, as expected, did not occur.
Yun Shi turned sideways, raised one palm, fingers spread, and received a furious, all-out attack. Only the fluttering white robe could attest to the terrifying power contained in this punch.
"you……"
Otsutsuki Isshiki clearly felt that his power had been absorbed, and his eyes narrowed.
How is that possible? Besides his speed, which exceeds the limits of his dynamic vision, Yun Shi actually possesses strength comparable to his.
My behavior seems to have caused you to misunderstand something.
Yun Shi tilted his head, looking at Yi Shi who was so close, and a smile appeared on his face; "Actually, weapon crafting is just my hobby, physical skills are my true talent."
Before the words were finished, the hand that had caught Yi Shi's fist suddenly retracted, turning the palm into a fist, and blasted out like a cannonball, slamming into Yi Shi's fist!
boom!!
A deafening roar, powerful enough to shake one's internal organs, exploded out, sending Yi Shi flying backward with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, Yun Shi's figure reappeared in front of him, his right leg rising like a steel whip, slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and fiercely striking Yi Shi's head.
Yishi's pupils contracted, and in his haste, he only had time to raise his arm to protect the side of his head.
Bang! !
He hastily raised his arm to block the kick, but the terrifying force still made his arm ache and go numb. He was sent flying again, his feet carving two furrows in the ground.
"Come on!" Yi Shi stood firm, gritted his teeth and roared angrily, and charged forward instantly.
Thud! Thud thud thud!
The two figures clashed and collided repeatedly in the air and on the ground, turning into two blurry streaks of light. Each collision produced a muffled roar and a shockwave.
Fist, foot, elbow, knee...
Every part of its body was transformed into a weapon, unleashing a relentless and fierce attack!
Wherever the two went, rocks crumbled, the earth cracked, and dust billowed. Their most pure, direct, and ferocious physical attacks were powerful and heavy.
But no matter how much Isshiki Otsutsuki finds it hard to accept, he cannot change the fact that he is at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, speed, reaction and combat skills.
Yun Shi is stronger, faster, and has sharper reflexes. His combat skills are honed to perfection and are as natural as if he were a monster born for close combat!
Finally, Yun Shi stepped on Yi Shi's crossed arms, which were blocking in front of him. With a crisp "crack" sound, Yi Shi was slammed to the ground by Yun Shi's foot on his chest.
It was like a meteorite falling at an astonishing speed, crashing down onto the ground.
boom!!
The earth let out a painful groan as the Cloud Style trampled it, embedding it deep into the ground and creating a crater.
"Pfft!" Otsutsuki Isshiki suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yun Shi's foot stepped on his chest, her beautiful eyes looking down at the disheveled Yi Shi, who was coughing up blood.
"Alright," Yun Shi said calmly, "you should get going."
I walked down that path that I had already prepared for you...
No, it is a predetermined path prepared for "you".
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly increased the pressure of his foot on Shishi's chest, intending to crush him!
However, in the next moment, golden light, like pupils, suddenly shone in Otsutsuki Isshiki's black eyes, and the light that distorted space enveloped him.
Divine Art: Mahakala!
Bang!
A soft sound, not the dull thud of crushing flesh, but the sound of stepping into thin air.
Suddenly, Yun Shiki's feet lost their footing. The Otsutsuki Isshiki who had been under his feet disappeared, leaving only the hard, cold ground beneath his feet. The immense force caused the ground to crumble and scatter.
"..."
Yun Shi slowly withdrew her foot, straightened her body, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her face showing little surprise, but she said in a low voice, "So you really used 'Great Black Heaven' to escape?"
Divine Art: Daikokuten, one of the abilities of "Black Eye," allows the user to place objects into a time-stopped alternate dimension, from which they can be freely retrieved at any time, and the user can also enter and exit at any time.
Yeah.
"Then let's give it a try. Let me combine 'Divine Soul Fate' and 'High Soul Control' to develop this new technique."
Yun Shi slowly raised her hands, humbly joined her palms together, and bent her index and little fingers inward, placing them against each other in her palms to form a peculiar seal.
—"Yama Heavenly Seal".
"Divine magic..."
The purple light, like swirling stars, flickered in Yun Shi's eyes as he softly murmured, "The Eighteen Hell Realms."
hum!
As soon as he finished speaking, pure and profound darkness spread out instantly from the shadow standing at Yun Shi's feet, extending infinitely into the distance.
Wherever it passed, the ground, gravel, scorched earth, and even the air were shrouded in its presence, losing all color and realism, just like a traditional Chinese ink painting.
[I originally planned to skip the fight scene and switch the perspective to Hinata Kumokawa's side, write a section of the story, and then come back to see the result. But after thinking about it, I decided to write it anyway.]
