<h4>Chapter 191 - Yang Fish</h4>
The Divine Battlefield … a forsaken ce glutted with the aftermath of the godly skills, scattered with the broken secret realms of the gods. From time to time, there would be fragments of soul weapons glowing in godly lights in the endless swamp, and the shattered godly souls would fill the drearynd with their growls and moans.
The Yin Yang Realm Zhong Yue was in was floating quietly, soon, it was a distance away from where it was. This Yin Yang Realm was a realm that roamed around in the Divine Battlefield, it did not have any fixed positions but constantly moving along the only safe passage of the Divine Battlefield.
Zhong Yue’s entrance into the realm added weight to it, causing it to change its course and drift away from its usual path along the safe passage to float and venture deeper into the Divine Battlefield.
However, Zhong Yue was oblivious to all of this as he was inside of the realm himself.
Looking out from inside the realm, all he could see was colored in ck and white, devoid of any color — this was the unique trait of the Yin Yang Realm. Furthermore, everything he could see was blurry and obscure.
The course change of the Yin Yang Realm was a phenomenon that neither Zhong Yue nor Shui Zian had expected.
The Yin Yang Realm brought him deeper in the Divine Battlefield, further and further away from the only safe passage.
Zhong Yue came to the ce where the Yang Qi was streaming down, he raised his head and looked up, the Yang Qi from the sun above was cascading down as if they were crystallized into solid precipitates —Hrong hrong hrong— the ground was smitten away by the immense heat of the Yang Qi as it formed into a hugevake. There were bubbles of thirty to forty feet in radius foaming on the surface of theke.
It was immensely hot, the heat wave sted on his face incessantly; theva in theke dried up thekeside, and seeped into the ground through the cracks; ring in the color of bright red - dazzling to the eyes.
The Yang Qi was too abundant, stimting the Great Sun Golden Crow in the left eye of his Yuan Shen to soar while absorbing the Yang Qi in the air.
What a strong and abundant Yang Qi, even the fire on the surface of thisvake could beparable to the fire on the sun.
With a thought, he cast the Great Sun Golden Crow spirit. A pair of marvelous-looking wings red open behind his Yuan Shen, and it morphed into a three-taloned Golden Crow. It fluttered its wings and flew to the middle of thevake.
In the center of the hundred miles longvake was where the Yang Qi cascaded down like a whitish waterfall from the sun into theke.
It was the ce where the Yang Qi was most abundant, he would be able to achieve twice the results with half of the efforts if he cultivated right there.
However, his mortal body did not go forward as the sunfire above thevake was too hot, even though he could ward the fire off with the Great Sun totem patterns, but it would drain his prowess very quickly, hence, he would rather just send his Yuan Shen over, to save time and energy.
Soon, his Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen had reached the center of theke where the Yang Qi cascaded down, Zhong Yue himself sat in the lotus position beside theke, manipting his Yuan Shen to absorb and refine the abundant Yang Qi.
Zheng——
A metal nking sound could be heard as he cast the Yan Ying Realm in his Yuan Shen, the Great Sun Yuan Shen circumnavigated the sun with merry, opening its mouth to suck away the Yang Qi into the Yin Yang Realm in the Yuan Shen body.
The fallen god did not cultivate the authentic Yin and Yang Qi, hence, the Yang Qi he had was not the Pure Yang Qi. Without the Great Sun Golden Crow spirit, even if he had mastered all of the Great Sun totem patterns, it would still nearly impossible to cultivate the Pure Yang Qi.
Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen fluttered around the Yang Qi waterfall, absorbing more and more Yang Qi and storing them away in his Yin Yang Realm, strengthening his Yuan Shen and refining them into the Pure Yang Qi.
Suddenly, when he was cultivating, thevake beneath swirled violently and a loud boom could be heard as theke surface slitted open. An baster-colored fish burning with fire leaped out of theke and gnawed over at his Great Sun Golden Crow that was hovering in mid-air!
Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen red out its wings and flew higher, evading the big fish’s assault. In his shock he eximed, “This is the Yin Yang Realm of the fallen god, how could there be living beings in here?”
“That’s no living being, but a Yang fish that was born within the highly concentrated Yang Qi. The Tai Chi splits into half, one side the Yang fish and the other Yin fish. Although the fallen god didn’t cultivate the Pure Yin and Pure Yang, but the Yang Qi in him is immensely strong, and within the essences of the Yang Qi, was birthed the Yang fish.”
Xin Huo sat on the back of his Yuan Shen’s ear, sticking out his head and looking down. He immediately recognized the fish and exined, “These kind of fish had no soul, that’s why they aren’t living, it’s their natural instinct to absorb the Yang Qi. While your Yuan Shen is the Great Sun Golden Crow, absorbing the Yang Qi, and possesses the Pure Yang Qi in it—your Yuan Shen is the most delicious and greatest tonic to him, that’s why it came for you. The white fish is born within the essences of Yang Qi, while the ck fish is born within the essences of the Yin Qi. For both fish to be born in his Yin Yang Realm, this fallen god’s prowess must have been incredibly strong. Although it couldn''t sessfully cultivate the Pure Yin and Pure Yang Qi, his Yin Qi and Yang Qi was not too weak either.”
Zhong Yue could not help but feel fortunate as he had acquired the Sun Moon Twin Spirit, even such an otherworldly strong god could not sessfully cultivate the Pure Yin and Pure Yang Qi, and yet, he had achieved what the fallen god could not.
However, thergest contributor behind his sess of cultivating the Pure Yin and Yang Qi was the jade liquid in the underground of the ck Mountain. It was because of the immensely strong power of the jade liquid that allowed him to cultivate the Pure Yin and Yang Qi, else, if he had to cultivate on his own, not even the gods would know how long he would take.
All of a sudden, his eyes brightened up, and quickly asked, “Then if I’ve absorbed and refined the Yang fish, wouldn’t it be a tonic to me too?”
Xin Huo nodded and said, “Of course, the Yang Qi in the Yang fish had been refined and tempered, they are the distilled essences of the Yang Qi, far stronger and purer than the Yang Qi saturating the air. Absorbing this little fish will allow you to cultivate more Pure Yang Qi faster. But don’t underestimate it, it’s a treasure that born within the Yang Qi of the godly spirit, it’s strength is noughing matter.”
“Don’t you worry too much, I’ve opened all five Yuan Shen realms and have acquired the Combat Yuan Shen. How can my Combat Yuan Shen be unable to defeat a fish?”
With a thought, Zhong Yue’s Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen lunged down, wing over to the Yang fish that was falling back into thevake.
Suddenly, the Yang fish swung its tail, its fins opened up and fluttered violently as if they were wings. The fish flew in the air and evaded his assault; then, it opened its mouth and sted out sr fire akin to an ocean of me towards Zhong Yue!
The sunfire was incredibly strong, even from afar, Zhong Yue’s Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen could still feel the unbearable heat!
“My Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan is the spirit of the sun, don’t you think of refining me with the sunfire!”
The Great Sun Golden Crow red out its wings, just when it was about to fly into the fire ocean, two white light beams shot out and thrusted at it. Right away, he quickly fluttered the wings and twisted its body while the two light beams slid past the sides of his body, tearing away dozens of Golden Crow feathers with it!
“What a cunning brat, hiding these two rays of sun fire behind the fire ocean!”
These two beams of sunfire were shot out by that Yang fish from its eyes, hidden in the fire ocean. If it were not because Zhong Yue had noticed it earlier, his Yuan Shen would be in dead by now!
These two beams of sunfire were different from the other sunfire - they had undergone countless rounds of tempering and refining within the Yang fish to be its weapons. It was akin to the soul weapons and Sword Qi of the Qi Practitioners. When it wasunched at him unexpectedly, Zhong Yue’s life was nearly reaped!
The three-taloned Golden Crow broke through the heavy and thick fire ocean before him, flying to the top of the Yang fish and wing onto its back. It then raised its beak out and pecked down!
While all of a sudden, the fins on the fish’s back red out like a fan, bristling upright like sharp spears —Chi chi chi— nearly perforate through him!
The three-taloned Golden Crow quickly released the Yang fish and flew away, fluttering its wings and shooting out the feathers like swords. In a trice, hundreds of sword feathers had pierced through the Yang fish.
The Yang fish released a cry in pain and its body was sliced into pieces, Zhong Yue red his wings over and sucked all of the fish meats into his mouth piece by piece.
While the other remains that had yet to be sucked away started squirming and morphing into small and little Yang fish, extending their fins out and retreating away into thevake below.
Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen ate the fish meats, immediately, he could feel surges of heat energy deluging his body, filling him with the strong and immense Yang Qi as it rushed over towards his Yin Yang Realm, strengthening the sun in the realm!
“This is indeed faster than just absorbing the Yang Qi in the air!”
Zhong Yue was surprised and overjoyed with a slight surge of regret lurking in his heart, “Sadly, this Yang fish is too strange, it can still splinter off into so many smaller fishes to run away despite having been sliced into pieces…”
Just as he thought about it, thevake beneath him started to swirl violently, the sounds of boiling water could be heard and all of a sudden, countless huge and giant Yang fishes leaped out with their fins extended, assaulting right at him, suffusing the air with the burning heat of sun!
Their eyes brightened up and innumerable streams of refined sunfire were sted out right at Zhong Yue!
Zhong Yue was shocked, he quickly red his wings and shot up into the upper air. Behind him, over hundreds of Yang fishes fluttered their fins and chased after him at a great speed, while the sunfire rays were besieging him as they shed, sliced and thrusted over!
“Xin Huo, shouldn’t there be only one Yang fish?” Zhong Yue asked while the three-taloned Golden Crow was evading the attacks incessantly, threading in between the gaps of the sunfire rays like lightning.
Xin Huo heard him, blinked his eyes and answered, “I never said there was only one in the Yin Yang Realm, thisvake is so huge and the Yang Qi here is so abundant, it is indeed possible for this ce to give birth to more than one of them…”
“Merely fishes, how dare you all obstruct me! Wu Xing Secret Realm, open!”
Zhong Yue yelled and the Wu Xing Wheel emerged behind the Yuan Shen, mming down the power of the five elemental Qi, —Wongg— suppressing the air above one of the Yang fishes, tossing it off bnce and hence, falling down from the sky.
“Wan Xiang Secret Realm, open!”
Zhong Yue bellowed in anger, casting the Wan Xiang Realm and glutting himself with the almighty power of the myriad to bring his strength and speed to a new level.
The three-taloned Golden Crow red out the golden wings and pounced down right at the falling Yang fish suppressed by the Wu Xing Wheel. The Yang fish extended out its fins, shing through the air like swords trying to break through the suppressions of the Wu Xing Wheel, then it recalled back its two sunfire rays, —Chi chi— slicing the Wu Xing Wheel into half.
In the time it broke through the Wu Xing Wheel, the three-taloned Golden Crow had already reached it. Spreading its wings, it sliced down heavily, cutting the giant fish into three pieces!
The Golden Crow released a shrill cry, wing and grasping onto the fish head before flying away. Meanwhile, the other two fish segments had turned into two smaller Yang fishes and flew away. The other Yang fishes swarmed over but they were toote, countless sunfire rays sted in the air while Zhong Yue had long flown away with the fish head.
He ate the fish head down and instantly, Zhong Yue could feel his Yin Yang Realm expanding once again, however, the Yang Qi in the secret realm was too excessive, overpowering the Yin Qi, and there was fire that leaked out from his body.
Thankfully, his Golden Crow Yuan Shen also required the nourishments of the Yang Qi - the excessive Yang Qi that leaked out was absorbed away by the Great Sun Golden Crow, strengthening his sun spirit.
Zhong Yue then made use of the trick and ate another few Yang fish; the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen was getting stronger and stronger, soon, there were signs of the third form of the Yuan Shen beginning to open!
“What a rapid cultivation speed by absorbing and refining the Yang fishes!” He was greatly shocked by this rather fortuitous turn of events.
