Chapter 66: The Tournament VI
In his seat, Ye Qin awaited the next battle. He was quite interested in seeing the battle between Hundun and the Demon Bodhisattva. Between the two, he wanted to know which had greater growth during evolution.
If one were to think of the myths, of course, the Demon Bodhisattva was superior, but since this involved monsters, the outcome may be affected. Of course, Ye Qin himself already had an idea before the battle even began, but he wouldn't be certain until he saw the Hundun for him.
After a while, both teams from the Battle Temple and the Heaven's Gate gathered. For these next two matches, only the first year grade from each of the four colleges would participate.
On one side, the Battle Temple's captain looked over to Ye Qin briefly, as he stood next to his team and faced his opponent. With both teams somewhat recovered from the last battle, a new battle would now begin in order to determine third place.
Once again, four familiar monsters on each side appeared on the stage. Each person had determined their opponents, based on the position that each member had stood in. Only the captains of both teams had yet to reveal their monsters.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the same time, as if it were planned, both captains summoned their partner from the Monster sea at the same time. Two bright magic circles could be seen across the stage, on opposing sides.
On one side, a pitch black magic circle, the other; a golden purple circle. After a few seconds, two powerful auras were unleashed at the same time. A powerful and chilling darkness loomed over a large beast with six arms, and a dog-like face. It's back with three pairs of wings, while its eyes seemed as though it could not see the light.
[Monster: Hundun]
[Level: 37]
[Grade: Epic]
[Type: Mythical Beast]
[Element: Darkness]
[Additional Info: A true Hundun, bringing chaos and confusion, the bearer of the World Egg, one of the Four Evils that opposed the Four Pure Ones. It's eyes cannot see the light, however, its senses are extremely sharp and acute.]
On the opposing side, a terrible golden purple aura, being slowly upsurging from a single being. The being was bald and resembled a monk, from its body; a horrible storm of two legendary powers were rotating around.
One side, the calm power of Buddhism, the other; the violent surge of power of the Devil. Two equal but opposing sides had joined as one, bringing forth a new power capable of newfound strength.
A soft Buddhist scripture was echoing, while a violent 'ohm' resounded at the same time.
Now, both captains had summoned their newly evolved partners. When Wang Tao saw this, he was now certain of his guess. As for Ye Qin, his previous thoughts were also resolved once both monsters appeared.
He now knew the results of this battle, before it had even begun. No, the battle had already begun when the two monsters were summoned.
While the two brothers weren't surprised, everyone else who watched the match wasn 't the same. Just a while ago, they had seen the monsters of both captains, now the two monsters had undergone an evolution in such a short period, leaving them breathless.
Even the four other members of both teams showed looks of surprise. Their captains had not informed them of such a thing, of course, they may not even believe it in the first place.
It was now uncertain which team would win. Whether the Battle Temple would claim third place this year, replacing the Heaven's Gate, or if the latter would defend their position after losing second place.
Either way, the positions held by the colleges had been shifted once again after many years. For decades, the places had been the same and unchanging. That was, until this generation, where many young geniuses suddenly emerged all at once.
It was a golden era for China, and also all of humanity. When the two captains summoned their monsters, the team members of both teams looked at each other and recalled their partners. For this battle, they decided to bet on their respective captains.
Only a single battle would take place, in order to determine the new ranking. Now, there was a much larger field for both sides to fight on. Before the match had begun, the stadium changed. There was now a stronger field to protect students, while the ground and walls were made of much sturdier materials to withstand greater damage.
The Hundun, while blind, knew exactly where its foe was. A being such as itself hated peace and loved chaos. It was even more so after it had evolved from the Faceless One. After suffering defeat, it brought it the chance to evolve and become much stronger.
In its six arms, large axes suddenly appeared in each hand. It immediately flew towards the Demon Bodhisattva using all six of its wings. Since it was now smaller and more agile, its flying speed was much greater than before.
On the other side, the Demon Bodhisattva could sense its opponent coming. Rather than seeing with its eyes that were completely shut, its senses allowed it to see everything in place of its eyes.
Behind it, a surging golden energy suddenly erupted like a volcano. A small buddhist symbol appeared above its head and rotated at a slow pace. As it did so, its energy grew greater and more powerful.
The Demon Bodhisattva faced the Hundun as its hand reached forward, in the shape of a palm. Suddenly, a huge golden palm appeared out of nowhere, and went straight for the opposing side.
In mid flight, the Hundun sensed the golden palm ahead. Its axes were raised as it prepared to hack whatever was in its path. Its arms were readied to chop forward as soon as contact was made. Ignoring the powerful energy being emitted, it dove straight in with extreme confidence.
In the sky, a huge golden palm of over ten meters in diameter was seen, flying ahead, aimed at a large dog-like beast with six arms and three pairs of wings. The dog-like beast was covered in dark armor, while its skin was just as dark.
In its six hands, a large axe could be seen. Dark energy surged from each axe, as its six arms were crossed and dove straight into the golden palm. After a few seconds, the golden palm and the dog-like beast were separated by centimetres.
Six dark axes cleaved in a singular direction, creating a cross shape that cleaved the golden palm into six. Even though the palm was sliced apart, it still exploded upon the axes.
Gold and black energy clashed in a brief second, creating a horrifying storm of wind. From one side of the stage, a monk with its eyes shut tight was seen urging a purple energy from one half of its body.
Its left arm was raised into a fist. As it punched the air, a huge purple fist appeared and broke apart the sky, as it headed for the dog-like beast. The monk was calm, its attack that was cleaved hadn't affected it in any way. It had immediately sent out an attack that was just as powerful in an instant.
The dog-like creature that resembled the Hundun of legends held out its six axes in the air, its body rotated at a rapid speed, creating a whirlwind around its body.
Bang!
The huge devil's fist made up entirely of pure demonic power, and the black whirlwind smashed together. A huge gust of wind picked up, blowing away everyone's hair. Some students sitting at the front, even had a new hairstyle for the day when the wind dispersed.
In the air, the Devil's fist and the black whirlwind continued fighting. Even though it was just a single fist, it was as though the Devil himself had manifested and urged its will to battle.
The black whirlwind seemed to be pushing back the purple fist. After all, it was simply an attack made up entirely of pure energy, it could not match the combined might of the Hundun as well its as dark wind at the same time.
Seeing another one of its attacks broken, the Demon Bodhisattva's will surged. Behind it, the golden Bodhisattva and the purple Devil manifested. Their wills had been called for them to battle at this moment.
The golden Bodhisattva was sitting on its lotus in a calm fashion. The Devil himself crossed his arms and looked down with his huge body that was as tall as a mountain, as he stared down on the world beneath.
A look of contempt could be seen in his eyes that resembled a terrifying storm. Gleaming power was released from his eyes that looked down upon mortals. With the will of Buddha and the Devil behind it, the Demon Bodhisattva made a palm and a fist at the same time.
Golden energy surrounded its palm, while purple energy enveloped its fist. At the same time, it punched and slapped its palm at the air, sending two world shaking attacks in unison.
The entire stadium was shaking, as though an earthquake had occured. A bright golden palm that was ethereal, enough to blind others, as well as a dark fist that shrouded the entire world came out at once.
The Hundun stopped as its body began to unleash all of its power. Pitch black energy was being released from every cell within its body. The energy was so large, that it reached high into the sky, over thirty meters tall!
Its six axes were raised, as black thunder-like energy engulfed the cleavers, transforming and raising their sharpness to its maximum. Its six axes and wings expanded in size, becoming almost double in size.
A deafening howl came from its entire being, as its axes were ready to cleave apart even the world itself. The golden palm and the purple fist headed straight for it. The palm broke the sky itself, while the fist destroyed the earth.
Each attack seemed capable of destroying the stars and sun alike. The Hundun's axes were moved back slightly, before it cleaved the air with all six arms at once.
Whoosh!
Pitch black flame-like energy was released from its axes that flew towards the palm and fist.
Bang!
Boom!
When the three energies exploded, a loud sonic boom took place, causing everyone to grasp their ears to protect their eardrums.
The black energy reached the palm and attempted to cleave it in half, the fist came out at the same time and punched the black energy, as the two sources of energy fought.
The Hundun's attack didn't end there, its six axes released an endless barrage of black energy that flew towards its opponent and not only at the palm or fist. The energy was like a sandstorm that would rip apart anything in its way.
'Ohm!"
The Demon Bodhisattva's eyes slowly opened. Its right eye, incredible golden light; its left, a violent and terrible storm of purple light emerged. As its eyes opened, its energy suddenly exploded, becoming many times stronger than before. The rotating Buddha symbol expanded and rotated at a greater speed, while a horrifying demonic light urged from its body.
The Demon Bodhisattva had opened its eyes, and revealed its true power during this moment. The black axe energy that came towards it like an endless barrage, landed on its body.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Within seconds, thousands of such energy had landed onto its body, creating a large amount of smoke that covered the eyes of all. It was now impossible to see, the results of such an attack, until the smoke cleared up.
