‘Imperial Family Secret Art: Killing Move – Worldly Apocalypse’

Boom!

Seeing the destructive force hidden behind this strike, the audience could not help but feel a sudden sense of crisis. After all, the barrier that was supposed to isolate them from the battle area was currently not present since it was a special feature of the map that Uno had chosen.

Fortunately, there was still an invisible barrier protecting them from stray attacks to avoid any unnecessary accidents.

Regardless, the people could still not help from feel the immense pressure coming from this powerful strike of the Martial God.

Adding that most of them were already being affected by the overwhelming killing intent that Uno was constantly releasing, a lot of the people from the live audience were unable to hold it any longer and started collapsing one after another.

Boom!

In the meantime, Uno watched the descending glaive of the golden immortal with calm eyes, completely unfazed by the incoming attack.

He then smirked behind his mask a little later. “Pretty decent, but still far from enough.”

After that, he suddenly flicked his arms back, whipping back his crimson cloak and revealing his crimson armor and the pair of sheathed short swords hanging on the back of his waist.

At the same time, the aura surrounding him suddenly changed along with the flow of energy in the surroundings.

The pair of crimson wings made by killing intent on his back spread even wider, sending powerful and violent ripples in the air.

Putting his hands on the hilt of the sheathed swords, as the black and white auras swapped around his body and intertwined with one another.

A moment later, Uno’s arms flickered for an instant before steadying once again.

Most of the people missed his actions due to how insanely fast it was. But those who were capable of seeing what had just happened were unable to close their jaws due to what they had just witnessed.

Those with somewhat keener senses could at least count the number of strikes Uno had just thrown in an instant.

Moreover, each of those strikes was powerful enough to be hailed as an advanced skill for most of the people within the game.

Meanwhile, the top experts, who were capable of clearly seeing the exact movements of Uno and somewhat understanding the essence of this move, were unable to believe what they had just seen.

The essence of this move was not that complicated. It was just a combination of extreme speed, absolute strength, and ultimate precision.

It might sound a little too simple, but it was much harder to achieve than it was told.

There was also the level of mastery that Uno had reached, which made it all look so simple in the eyes of everyone who had seen his movements.

BOOM!

Not long after, a massive explosion erupted in the air.

The Golden Immortal that fused with Ashura stumbled back a little as its huge glaive, which was descending earlier, rebounded back due to the impact.

Ashura, who had seen everything from a closer perspective of being on the receiving end of that attack.

From what he had just seen, that series of strikes was no different from the previous one that Uno had used to destroy his previous attack.

If there was any difference between the two attacks, then it could only be the speed and power behind each strike. They were much faster and heavier than the previous one, which produced the current result.

At least, that was what Ashura had seen on the surface. But if he went a little deeper into it, then the only reason that he could think of was the sudden response of the killing intent and energy surrounding Uno.

If his guess was right, then it was most likely the difference between those two factors being involved with regular strikes and the ones enhanced by the killing intent and unique energy.

“But how did he do it?” Ashura was confused. He understood the logic behind the difference between the two strikes, but he still felt that Uno’s attacks were much stronger than high-ranked Godlike Players like him.

From a regular perspective, Uno had just reinforced his attack with his mana manipulation method, but the effects that he had gotten far surpassed what everyone could achieve in the same situation.

Moreover, there was also that ridiculous series of strikes in the earlier exchange. Just by using ‘simple’ attacks stacked together, Uno had annihilated his advanced skill in an instant.

Then, with the simple application of the mana manipulation method, this person had instantly repelled his current strongest card. On top of that, this highly advanced skill was used on top of his most powerful state.

“That’s two. You only have one chance left.”

It was also at this moment that he heard Uno remind him about the ‘three strikes rule’ that they had ‘agreed’ upon.

Gritting his teeth, Ashura could only give his all now. “I guess I don’t have a choice but to use that incomplete skill.”

Stabilizing himself and the footing of the Golden Immortal, Ashura pointed his [Heavenly Meteor] toward the sky.

The Golden Immortal then followed his actions and did the same with his divine glaive.

Swoosh!

Not long after, a pillar of light suddenly came out from the tip of the divine glaive at pierced through the crimson sky, revealing the starry universe behind it.

Whoosh!

Not long after, starlight suddenly started falling and connected with the Golden Immortal, filling its body with sparkling and glittering lights.

At the same time, the armor that it was wearing also became more solid. It had also undergone a series of transformations as it absorbed more starlight from the sky.

Not long after, an array of stars suddenly appeared in the sky while the Golden Immortal maintained its stance.

Along with the blazing pillar that was coming out from its divine glaive, the entire surroundings were suddenly illuminated by a golden light.

When everyone managed to regain their sight once again, the accumulation of powers of the Golden Giant had already reached its peak.

It stood proudly while holding its divine glaive, assuming a battle stance.

Ashura, who fused with it, was also in this stance. He looked at Uno, who was watching the entire process indifferently as if all of it had nothing to do with him.

Ashura gritted his teeth as this was the very first time that he felt humiliated by his opponent. This was his first time encountering such an overwhelming opponent that stood before him like a towering wall.

Even the seniors from the Central Institute in the real world could not emit such a suppressive aura that made him look so powerless.

Since nothing had worked up until now, Ashura decided to use this powerful trump card that he had despite not fully mastering it yet.

It was a special movement that he had realized while trying to combine his two special martial arts.

Raising his weapon higher, Ashura swung down with all his might while the Golden Immortal mirrored all his actions.

Not long after, the giant divine glaive suddenly came crashing down along with the blazing pillar of light that connected it to the starry sky, creating an illusion of splitting the heavens.

At the same time, the array of stars that were hovering in the sky started falling, creating a storm of meteor shower.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

They came crashing with unstoppable momentum, seemingly threatening to destroy the entire world.

‘Mystic Cosmic Method: Star Fantasy Formation – Call of the Starry Skies’

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

On the receiving end of this combination technique, Uno maintained his indifference and watched the incoming attacks with haughty eyes.

His eyes were currently glowing with purple light as he activated his version of ‘Pinnacle Omniscience’. He watched the entire process of Ashura’s technique, seemingly peering through its true essence.

He had originally agreed to Shin’s ‘request’ as he was also quite curious about the techniques of this person.

Uno had created the ‘Yin-Yang Cultivation Arts’ by combining the essence of the modern martial arts and the cultivation methods of the ancient era.

Uno had also seen that Ashura seemed to have achieved similar results as his technique through Shin’s eyes. Or to be more precise, the technique that Ashura was using was following a similar path to his ‘Yin-Yang Cultivation Arts’.

He wanted to see through his eyes what kind of technique it was while also trying to experience it.

But now that he had gotten a closer look, he suddenly became a little disappointed as he knew that this discipline had diverged from the original path, leading it into an incomplete and knockoff copy of what it was supposed to be.

By applying modern methods, this martial discipline still managed to reach a decent level, matching the path it was supposed to take.

Unfortunately, it was all worthless in Uno’s eyes.

Although some interesting elements and tricks conveyed its essence, the final product was still a huge disappointment in his eyes.

Regardless, he still learned quite a few things, which he unexpectedly did not know despite his origin.

“This is the third strike, unfortunately, it is still far from enough,” he sighed as he stared at the descending attacks from the sky.

“But since you let me see something quite amusing, let me show you something interesting in return,” he added as he slowly unsheathed one of his shortswords.

Tremble!

Not long after, everyone felt a horrifying shiver washing over their body.

It was that kind of feeling that seemed to strike their soul, arousing their deepest fears.

“What the heck is this?”
