2250 Heart Peering
The final battle would also determine the top of the Earth Ranking this time round!
All eyes were on this!
Everyone knew that no matter who the victor of this battle was, the top of the Earth Ranking this time round would possess sufficient prestige!
This 10,000 Year Meet would definitely be recorded in history and spread through the entire Divine Firmament!
Looking at the two people on the green stone battlefield, no one could be certain who would achieve the supreme reputation of this generation. Would the reincarnated immortal use thunderous means to suppress this monster incarnate of the new generation or would this paragon of the academy trample on the glory of this predecessor?
"He had already admitted defeat earlier on. There was no need for you to continue attacking."
Su Zimo looked at Feng Yin and said slowly.
"I won't stop since he did not admit it personally!"
Feng Yin said coldly.
The two of them stood on both sides of the green stone battlefield and faced off through the air. Their auras rose continuously and neither of them was willing to show weakness. Their gazes collided in midair and sparks flew with a torrential killing intent!
"Why? You want revenge for your fellow sect mate?"
Feng Yin's lips curled slightly with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"I have that intention."
Su Zimo's tone was calm.
"Alright then."
Suddenly, Feng Yin released a tremendous spirit consciousness pressure and said coldly, "Let me tell you a fact today. As someone who ascended from the lower worlds, you're not qualified to challenge my status!"
The moment he said that, Feng Yin attacked and released multiple divine powers and immortal arts in succession. They were ferocious and blanketed the skies as they struck towards Su Zimo.
Su Zimo took a deep breath of air as well and channeled his Essence Spirit to condense a secret skill and divine power to fight head-on.
There was no technique to speak of in a fight between divine powers. It was just a continuous drain of Essence Spirit and Essence Qi.
It was the same as the battle between Su Zimo and Immortal Tai Hua.
Before the sixth round, Su Zimo had already recovered 40% of the power of his Essence Spirit.
Thereafter, he fought a huge battle with Yue Feng and expended some energy. After resting for a while, he recovered to around 40% once more.
But now that both parties released their divine powers and immortal arts, the power of Su Zimo's Essence Spirit was depleting rapidly.
The divine light in Feng Yin's eyes intensified.
Everything was under his control!
"This is bad,"
Xie Qingcheng frowned and murmured, "The current situation is similar to the battle between Brother Su and Immortal Tai Hua."
"Feng Yin has the absolute advantage in terms of Essence Spirit power. Brother Su can't afford the expenditure."
Su Zimo realized this as well. During the clash of divine powers, he relied on the powerful physique of his Green Lotus True Body to withstand the power of the divine powers and closed in to Feng Yin continuously, shortening the distance between them.
If he wanted to defeat Feng Yin in this battle, his only chance of winning was in melee combat!
The Green Lotus True Body was currently in his peak condition and could ignore all opponents of the same cultivation realm with his melee combat strength.
Be it paragons, monster incarnates or reincarnated Perfected Immortals, Su Zimo was absolutely confident of suppressing them in melee combat!
Finally, after a series of divine powers and immortal arts, the distance between the two of them shrank continuously and they were already within Su Zimo's attack range.
Phew!
Su Zimo conjured the Great Chaos Essence Palm and slapped down on Feng Yin's head with an unstoppable might!
"Fufu."
Feng Yin chuckled and moved with the wind like a willow catkin, floating down gently to avoid Su Zimo's Great Chaos Essence Palm.
The power of that palm strike missed!
With a calm expression, Su Zimo strode forward and attacked once more, charging towards Feng Yin.
Feng Yin swayed and dodged Su Zimo's killing move again.
In just a few breaths, Su Zimo attacked more than ten times in succession and each time, he missed. In fact, he did not even manage to touch Feng Yin's clothes!
This scene was extremely similar to what Liu Ping had experienced earlier on!
Even now that the opponent was Su Zimo, the situation did not change much nor was any advantage gained.
"How strong!"
"To think that Imperial Wind Temple's Shadow With the Wind movement technique would be so powerful. Even Su Zimo's melee combat techniques have failed repeatedly."
"If I had known earlier, I would have joined Imperial Wind Temple at the Immortal Sect Selection back then. With the help of such a movement technique, my combat strength would have doubled at least!"
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Your Highness, can Feng Yin be invincible just because of that movement technique?"
Xu Xiaotian had a worried expression.
"It's not that simple."
Xie Qingcheng shook his head with a grim expression. "I've experienced Shadow With the Wind's movement technique as well. It's far less terrifying than what Feng Yin displayed."
"Feng Yin must have other methods to be able to unleash such power with that movement technique."
On the green stone battlefield.
Su Zimo's attacks intensified. However, Feng Yin was carefree and casual.
"Do you think that you can defeat me in melee combat?"
With a smile and a mocking expression, Feng Yin made use of Shadow With the Wind to linger around Su Zimo.
Swoosh!
A cold glint appeared faintly on his body. It was the same cold glint that severely injured Liu Ping earlier on—he could retaliate at any moment.
"Heart Peering?"
Su Zimo's expression was unchanged as he suddenly murmured.
"Mmm?"
Feng Yin exclaimed softly in surprise.
He had not expected Su Zimo to see through his methods so quickly.
Apart from his sect's movement technique, Shadow With the Wind, the reason why he was able to avoid Su Zimo's killing methods repeatedly was because of the greater divine power, Heart Peering!
Heart Peering was a divine power secret skill of the Buddhist monasteries. As the name suggested, it could read the other party's mind.
However, Feng Yin's comprehension of Heart Peering far surpassed others. With Heart Peering, he could sense the landing spot of Su Zimo's attacks in advance and the trajectory of each attack.
From there, he could make use of his movement technique to avoid Su Zimo's attacks!
Throughout history, there were extremely few cultivators who could use Heart Peering in battle.
This required unimaginable comprehension and extraordinary reaction time—neither could be missing.
"It's impressive that you're able to cultivate Heart Peering to such an extent."
Su Zimo replied indifferently, seemingly in no hurry.
Suddenly!
In that intense battle, Su Zimo closed his eyes.
That action caused an uproar in the crowd!
"Could Su Zimo be using his spirit consciousness to fight?"
"That can't be, right? That's equivalent to having a death wish!"
For cultivators, even with their eyes closed, they could naturally scan their surroundings with their spirit consciousnesses.
In fact, in many places, spirit consciousnesses were more comprehensive than what the eyes could see.
However, spirit consciousnesses were not direct enough.
In a battle, one's vision was the most direct and could reflect all information to themselves right away, allowing them to react and make judgments.
If one closed their eyes and relied on their spirit consciousness to fight, they would be a step slower in every aspect.
"You think you can hide from my Heart Peering just by closing your eyes?"
Feng Yin burst into laughter. "Su Zimo, you're way too naive!"
In reality, Su Zimo had not only closed his eyes—he had sealed all five senses of his body!
