C342 The Reincarnated Emperor!(1)

When someone who's been unremarkable suddenly becomes unstoppable, it's like a volcano finally erupting after years of quiet. But when this transformation seems endless, it leaves everyone around them at a loss for words.

Moh Lunhui, once the top but underwhelming outer disciple of the Heavenly Martial Academy in Dongjue Country, rose to prominence at the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association. His unparalleled skill was a testament to his years of preparation.

After Woo Zhengyang broke Moh Lunhui's seemingly invincible "one-finger kill" technique, Moh made a comeback in the Ultimate Battle. At such a young age, he grasped the Martial Dao Concept and honed his sword force, turning the event into a stage for just him and Woo Zhengyang. To onlookers, he was already a prodigy.

Little did anyone know, Moh Lunhui's extraordinary journey was just beginning.

When Woo Zhengyang countered Moh's sword force with his own technique, many believed their battle was evenly matched. Some even favored Woo Zhengyang, thinking that despite appearing at a disadvantage, his ability to counter Moh's sword force proved he was equally formidable. If he had more tricks up his sleeve, defeating Moh wouldn't be out of the question.

However, after a tense standoff, Moh Lunhui suddenly grew even stronger, surpassing his previous power by several times. With a casual swing of his sword, he shattered Woo Zhengyang's Body Protecting Astral Qi, leaving Woo injured in the aftermath.

Based on Woo Zhengyang's combat power, the force behind Moh Lunhui's sword was nearly on par with a strike from an expert at the Shape Gathering Stage. The spectators in Heavenly Martial City were understandably shocked.

"Dean, how did you discover Moh Lunhui's extraordinary talent back then, prompting us to break the rules and keep him as the top outer disciple for so many years?" asked an elder from the inner academy of Heavenly Martial Academy, still reeling from surprise.

Hearing this, the vice dean's eyes flickered with a hint of embarrassment. He couldn't possibly admit that he had been threatened at the time. He had always wondered why someone so powerful would want to keep Moh Lunhui at the academy. Now, witnessing Moh Lunhui's transformation, he finally understood—it was Moh Lunhui himself who had threatened him.

As a respected expert at the Shape Gathering Stage, he had been intimidated by the aura of a mere Martial Disciple, something he could never confess. Just as he was pondering how to respond, the inner city of Heavenly Martial suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned their gaze toward the location of the Heavenly Martial Sect.

An elderly man, with a gray robe and white hair and beard, was seen flying through the air. No one cared about the gray robe or the white hair; what caught everyone's attention was his ability to fly. Standing in mid-air was a feat only achievable by an expert at the Essence Shaking Stage, a Martial King.

The sole expert at the Martial King level from the Heavenly Martial Sect made an unexpected appearance at this moment...

In the Heavenly Martial Realm, on the golden arena, Woo Zhengyang found himself in a state of confusion. The name "Reincarnation Emperor" was unfamiliar to him. An emperor of such stature stood at the pinnacle of this world, a level far beyond Woo Zhengyang's reach, and even the experts at the Martial King level from the Heavenly Martial Sect would likely have no chance to encounter such a figure.

Yet, Moh Lunhui claimed to be the Reincarnation Emperor and demanded Woo Zhengyang reveal his own name, leaving Woo Zhengyang bewildered. However, given Woo Zhengyang's temperament, no matter how perplexed he was, standing frozen in place was not an option.

What truly caught Woo Zhengyang off guard was the movement of the golden vortex! When he was injured by Moh Lunhui's strike, the golden vortex in his mind began to spin rapidly...

This discovery filled Woo Zhengyang with joy. While the golden vortex couldn't protect him or shield his body, it allowed him to enter a mysterious state where tasks that were once difficult became effortlessly achievable.

Woo Zhengyang continued to engage with Moh Lunhui's sword force to comprehend his own Martial Dao Concept. With the perfect timing and setting, he wasn't about to let the opportunity slip away.

"If you don't even dare to state your name, then step into my cycle of reincarnation!" Moh Lunhui declared, delivering another sword strike. This strike, like the previous one, seemed unremarkable at first glance.

In Woo Zhengyang's perception, aided by the golden vortex, Moh Lunhui's sword stroke painted a different picture. The ambient energy in the air, like tiny particles, danced along with the swing of Moh Lunhui's long sword. As the sword slashed forward, the energy around it began to explode, spreading outwards and rushing towards Woo Zhengyang.

Unlike sword energy, which weakens the further it gets from the blade, these exploding energies expanded like a wildfire, growing in both range and power. In an instant, the explosive energy reached Woo Zhengyang, now the size of a barrel, shattering his protective aura with ease.

This time, Woo Zhengyang was ready. As Moh Lunhui swung his sword, Woo Zhengyang swiftly dodged, narrowly escaping the attack.

“Boom...”

Moh Lunhui's sword force struck the golden arena's shield, causing a ripple that even made the shield flicker with golden sparks. It was clear that if Woo Zhengyang had been hit, his injuries would have worsened significantly. Just as he dodged the first strike, the second one followed swiftly.
