Chapter 5687: Shi Jiu’s Strength

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Emperor Mangjia attacked once again, pushing his aura to the extreme, relentlessly assaulting with every punch carrying the force of 130,000-fold divine power.

He continuously drove Shi Jiu back, each of his moves finding its mark.

With relentless attacks that lasted only moments, Emperor Mangjia’s aura began to wane.

Shi Jiu, who had been passively enduring the onslaught, remained unfazed.

“It’s my turn!” Shi Jiu smirked, darting forward and appearing in front of Emperor Mangjia in an instant.

With a swift motion, he raised his foot and delivered a fierce kick to Emperor Mangjia’s face.

With just one kick, Emperor Mangjia staggered back several steps, his head left unprotected, his divine body displaying visible cracks.

He couldn’t believe it—despite employing the same divine power, his relentless assault failed to harm his opponent in the slightest, while he himself was repelled and injured by a single strike.

“This can’t be!”

He couldn’t accept it!

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he once again surged his aura to its peak, forming hand seals and unleashing bursts of divine power, creating immensely powerful energy spheres.

Jian Wushuang shook his head lightly at the sight.

Relying solely on divine power had its drawbacks, primarily the excessive consumption.

Though the strength was formidable, continuing like this might exhaust him before defeating his opponent.

Emperor Mangjia’s relentless assault did have some effect.

Shi Jiu began to struggle under the onslaught, his divine power showing a slight decline.

Yet Emperor Mangjia wasn’t faring any better; his divine power had already decreased to 120,000-fold.

If it dropped further, his attacks would pose no threat to Shi Jiu.

Enduring countless waves of energy, Shi Jiu blocked with his arms, taking a half step back before erupting once more.

His entire aura suddenly changed, and he forcefully charged through the energy waves, catching Emperor Mangjia off guard, who was completely engrossed in his attack and hadn’t anticipated Shi Jiu’s countercharge.

Isn’t there a saying that goes something like, the best defense is a good offense?

Well, it doesn’t seem to apply now.

In an instant, Shi Jiu charged right up to his opponent, delivering a direct punch that caved into the chest of Emperor Mangjia.

Even Mangjia’s formidable armor showed signs of cracking.

That was a treasure of the universe.

Even a Universe Treasure showed a hint of damage, not to mention Emperor Mangjia’s divine body, which had now been completely shattered.

His divine power plummeted from 120,000-fold to less than 50,000-fold.

He almost fell into a state of unconsciousness.

Originally, Emperor Mangjia had intended to trade injuries, but he hadn’t expected to be defeated so easily.

The remaining two looked at each other, their confidence instantly shattered.

Initially, they had planned for a rotating battle strategy, with the next stepping in if the first failed.

This would gradually wear down the opponent’s divine power.

But now, it seemed that Shi Jiu’s divine power hadn’t changed at all, not even his aura fluctuated, remaining as steady as before.

It was as if he had just sipped a cup of tea with ease.

Emperor Mangjia struggled to his feet, trembling as he admitted defeat, “I have lost!”

With that, he stepped aside, while Elder Muchen’s expression turned ashen.

He never expected Shi Jiu to be this strong.

Even Princess Jincheng’s power was only a little over 130,000-fold. Even with extraordinary divine power and some secret techniques, she was only a step above these three.

But Shi Jiu’s displayed strength surpassed these three Emperors by several levels at least.

Empress Fengchen, as the strongest present at the Five Tribulations realm, the Universe Master, saw through it all.

This time, they might lose.

There was some hesitation in her heart.

If they lost, how could they salvage the situation?

Shi Jiu flexed his wrist, seemingly dissatisfied with the punch he just threw.

He stared at the remaining few individuals and spoke, “How about you all come at me together?”

His words were provocative.

After all, they were all geniuses; how could they team up?

That would be too shameful.

Elder Muchen, however, had thick skin. He spoke up directly, “Since that’s the case, let’s all go together. Young people love pushing their limits!”

After speaking, he even winked at Jian Wushuang.

But Jian Wushuang remained unmoved.

Then Elder Muchen turned to Wu Li.

Wu Li, however, felt a bit troubled. He privately messaged, “Elder Muchen, my nephew is quite young. You know how young people are, they value their face a lot. But don’t worry, no matter how strong the opponent is this time, I have absolute confidence in him!”

With words spoken thus, Elder Muchen didn’t insist further.

The remaining two Emperors nodded at each other. Money talks; they couldn’t care less about their reputation and could only grit their teeth and go at it together.

This time, the two of them were fully prepared, and with Elder Muchen’s promise, as long as they injured Shi Jiu, it counted as a great achievement. The previously promised treasures could also be increased by 50 percent.

“So, it’s just you two left?” Shi Jiu’s gaze shifted from the two individuals to Jian Wushuang.

Jian Wushuang also looked at him, a hint of a smile crossing his face as he nodded calmly.

Electric arcs flickered in Shi Jiu’s eyes; he could sense Jian Wushuang’s extraordinariness, definitely stronger than the two before him.

However, his own strength was not to be underestimated either. Even if Jian Wushuang had hidden cards, he had even stronger ones.

He was Shi Xiu’s grandson, not only with a powerful bloodline but also not lacking in formidable treasures.

Due to his father being an illegitimate child, he had suffered quite a bit since childhood. Later, because of the downfall of his enemies, Shi Xiu felt indebted to his son and compensated everything to this grandson.

Shi Jiu didn’t disappoint as the most outstanding figure of the Shi family’s current generation, and also one of the super strong figures of the rejuvenating Shi Kingdom.

With a leap, he became one of the most outstanding Emperors of the Shi family’s current generation.

Moreover, he had always retained his strength, always hiding something.

This was related to his early experiences. Before his father fell, he had instructed him to always conceal his strongest cards, to only reveal techniques that had never been used before, as those were the true trump cards.

Once unleashed, the opponent would perish.

That’s the only way to always have a trump card.

Unfortunately, he had misunderstood. Back then, it wasn’t as prosperous as it was now, there was no need for hidden cards while enjoying the cool breeze under a big tree. The more one showcased themselves, the more attention they garnered, and the more treasures they obtained.

“Shi Jiu, don’t be arrogant!”

Two Emperor geniuses made their move together, only to find that Shi Jiu didn’t even regard them, which infuriated them even more. They immediately ignited their divine bodies.

Elder Muchen had already promised them that all the treasures consumed during the confrontation would be counted on his account, so they fought without hesitation.

They didn’t spare anything, directly burning 30 percent of their divine bodies, reaching their limits.

Their divine power erupted directly to a 136,000-fold.

This was the pinnacle of the One Tribulation realm.

The peak of the Two Tribulation realm was around 180,000-fold.

The standard divine power of the Three Tribulation realm was around 200,000-fold.

Shi Jiu’s hand condensed suddenly, and as he clenched his fist, a purple thunderbolt had already formed in the palm of his hand.

His divine power remained unchanged, but the thunderbolt in his palm burst out with over 140,000-fold divine power.
