Tournament of the Gods

Taiyi sect

The stranger dashed towards Zhangshun Shan with his right arm spread, Zhangshun Shan moved to his right dodging the attack as the stranger had immediately swung with his weapon once he had gotten to a few inches away from Zhangshun Shan's position.  The stranger halts, seeing that Zhangshun Shan had evaded, he smiles as he releases an outburst of flames which knocked Zhangshun Shan behind, Zhangshun Shan grins as he spat out blood from his mouth.  "Alright," Zhangshun Shan smiled as he stretched his right arm. "it's time to get serious, Martial arts : katana creation." As he said that, a long sword with a white and black hilt and a long silver blade appeared in his outstretched right arm, it was a katana.

"Tell me the sword you summoned isn't just for show, give me an interesting match," the stranger smirks, Zhangshun Shan circled around him with the most demeaning smirk on his face. "you asked for it, don't get annoyed when I eventually kill you due to your sheer stupidity."

"Less words," the stranger said as he readied his blade.  "More action." He ends as he dashes towards Zhangshun Shan, Zhangshun Shan grins as he smiles from the position he was and ran towards him, their swords collided causing shockwaves which spread and destroyed hundreds of meteors which were outside the planet.

"That's strange," Zhangshun Shan grins as he parried an attack from the ferocious stranger who swung his sword like a mad man.  "I can feel at least 750 asteriods some which mass are at least five times that of the earth get obliterated and yet nothing seems to be happening to this planet talk less of even where we stand, I am guessing you have something to do with that." Zhangshun Shan grins as he absorbed as much air as he could into his lungs.  "Martial arts : great wind!!!" he says aloud as he expels air from his mouth towards the stranger, the stranger grinned as he stretched his arm, the wind moved speedily towards him but the stranger began to twirl the fingers in his right arm as fast as he could, he had hurriedly dropped his weapon to the ground but for some reason, he kept his other arm well secured and hidden in his cloak, Zhangshun Shan's face wore a mischievous smile as he looked at him.  "Based on the way he's moving his fingers, it's obvious he's in haste and for some reason, he can't pause my attacks the way the way he did to the environment, it means whatever technique he pulled off has no effect on other aspects of Krigo, that's probably why I wasn't affected."

The stranger stopped twirling his fingers and what Zhangshun Shan had launched towards him was now big spherical ball made of air which was about 3 feet long in diameter and 4 feet high, the stranger grinned as he thrust his right arm forward, it connected to the ball but nothing happened.  "I am not a fool, that pathetic disguise won't work." As the stranger said that, he flung the ball towards Zhangshun Shan who was a in front of him but as it was about to hit the white-haired warrior, it disappeared and reappeared directly behind the stranger, the ball appeared to be in struggle with an invisible creature, the creature became visible and it was Zhangshun Shan, he appeared to be in a struggle as he lifted his right arm which held his katana to prevent the ball from coming or crashing against him.

"I can sense your ambience, the doppleganger you sent don't have a living essence, you can't expect a second handed trick like that to work on me who has been a Krigo practicioner for centuries," the man ends, his tone was serious and Zhangshun Shan could sense disappointment, Zhangshun Shan felt annoyed at the fact that he could feel disappointment.

"The fact that you now think you have the advantage shall be the cause of your downfall, in battle, except if you are me, there's never time to gloat or brag about how the tide of battle is turning even if it's in your favor," Zhangshun Shan replied with his most devious smirk and as he said that, his other double dashed towards the stranger, the stranger was caught off guard as the clone was cloaked in a white light, it blitzed him ripping off his right arm causing his weapon to fall.

The stranger smiled as he jumped backwards, the one who has just caught him has a wicked smile same as the original Zhangshun Shan who was still contending with the air ball.  "I knew you had been stalking me from day one so obviously, I would expect you to be able to read aura just like me, now that I had the knowledge, I had an advantage, I could simply trick you by letting me come after me if I could create a doppleganger which was strong enough to replicate a few moves so I had implemented an skill right there on the spot, a doppleganger which could actually use Krigo just like it's user."

The man in brown cloak couldn't help but smile.  "This is clearly interesting, it's been a long time since I had fun like this," he grinned as particles began to form in his right arm, his severed arm began levitating off the ground and soon it joined up with the rest of his body and a phenomenon unexplained by any current laws of physics happened as the arm joined back with the body, Zhangshun Shan didn't appear amazed, he still had his haughty look on.  "You really are a difficult one to read, in case you are wondering what is happening, I know you are as you first wondered how none of our attacks are affecting the surroundings but instead outside of the planet itself, it's because of an advanced aspect of Krigo known as innate field," the man ends with a smirk.  "Innate field enables the user go control every proceedings that takes place in his observable part of the infinite environment, the observable environment is directly dependent on the user's mental discipline and for me, it's nothing impressive but my innate field covers the entire local group, with that, I can decide where the aftermath of every attack should happen, I chose outer space as there is no fully formed and complex life out there, innate field completely defiles every law of physics, the only reason I am unable to affect you is because you are a Krigo practicioner yourself but also I can manipulate your Krigo based energy once it leaves you so long you are in my innate field, in fact, I can manipulate all forms of energy in my innate field, now I am truly unstoppable," the man stopped as he expected Zhangshun Shan to have an amazed look on his face but rather Zhangshun Shan still wore a haughty look without any form of impression whatsoever.  "Seriously, I control the whole local group, it's thirty galaxies, the smallest having a diameter of fifteen light years and the attack we just did affected a total of 789 asteriods, the biggest of them had a mass 160 times that of earth and I was responsible for 80 percent of the entire dispelled attack, I am stronger than you, if you are half as wise as I think you are, you would have noticed."

"Still nothing impressive as to what I am about to do now," Zhangshun Shan grins as he expelled fire from his mouth and destroyed the ball which was about to come down on him.  "Now, all I was doing was buying time in order to figure out how you were able to horn Krigo to this extent, and finally, I did," Zhangshun Shan paused as he wore am even more sinister smile, he walked forward hunching his shoulders up.  "I realized that throughout the battle, you kept your left arm hidden in your cloak even so that when an attack that could spell the end of your life came for you, you dropped your weapon instead of using the other arm, I realized there must be something up with that arm, that's why I pretended to be in a twist with the ball you sent to me and once I saw you were distracted, I sent the doppleganger after you, it's goal wasn't to rip off your arm, it was actually to open your cloak so I could see what you were doing with your left arm," Zhangshun Shan ends with his most sinister smile. "and I was able to, you focused so much of your innate energy there and took this particular sign with your fingers," Zhangshun Shan ends as he raises his right arm, his index and middle fingers crossed.  "Since nothing is happening, I am guessing you must have infused them with Krigo energy,"

"Just who is this," the stranger thought clearly amazed.  "How did he figure this all out in this uptight battle, something which took me centuries to perfect and understand, he's doing so in a few minutes, just who is he?"

"Well, let me try that now," Zhangshun Shan grinned as he sent energy to those his two fingers and almost immediately, he felt like he was transported, he looked below and he could see his body and the stranger staring at each other, Zhangshun Shan was amazed but he decided that he wanted to go higher, as he decided that, he felt his body transcending even beyond more quantum realms and before he knew what was happening, he could oversee what was going on in every planet, star, dark matter, anti matter, nebula, blackhole and several uncountable nameless phenomenons of over a million galaxies, he could see the internal structure of all organisms, control time in the galaxies, manipulate them into doing whatever he wanted, at that point, he felt like he could control and subdue all.  "So this is what innate field is, I am able to view and control all proceedings in 621 million galaxies, the only restrictions I have are the Krigo users, this is indeed a powerful ability but it's nothing compared as to when I still operated with Renkui's essence," Zhangshun Shan thought.  "Well, enough sightseeing, time to return and pay the tall stranger for teaching me this skill, I am much indebted and one thing about Zhangshun Shan is that he never owes."

The stranger looked over at Zhangshun Shan, he still appeared unconscious.  "He must have used innate field for the first time in his life, I should have warned him, when using innate field, your consciousness first leaves your body, well, I will just wait for him to come back but with all I have seen, I am more than impressed and he's everything I have been looking for though I am unaware of how developed his innate field is."

"I can give you a demonstration of how innate it is," Zhangshun Shan smiles.  "But now, I have realized something, your goal was never to kill me from the start but rather to test my strength," Zhangshun Shan ends as he snaps the fingers in his right arm.  As he did, a sulphuric gas filled the atmosphere.  "The innate field can also make you transfer anything from a part in the observable environment to another part in it's observable environment, if you wanted me dead, you could just have changed the gas in the atmosphere I was breathing."

"Not a bad deduction but we are not done with our battle yet and as you said, there's never time for gloating during a battle," the stranger grinned as he dashed towards Zhangshun Shan, Zhangshun Shan grinned as a volley of arrows appeared above the stranger, the stranger swiped his two arms as if in an attempt to cancel out the arrows but it proved futile as the arrows were still visible.  "This is impossible," he thought.  "The only way this is possible is if his innate field is far more complex and developed than mine and also, this is his first time, he being able to horn it to that extent must be proving a tough toll on his life force, the mere fact that he was even able to do it without even dying is amazing as the innate Field drains the life force of the user, that's why before most experienced users use this technique, they draw strength and life force from the insignificant creatures in their innate field such as planetary bodies, plants and animals, though the bigger the innate field, the more difficult it is to control the life force of the creatures residing in the field, the average Krigo user in my sect can at best control ten planets without damaging himself but I have horned myself so much I can easily manipulate lots of galaxies but the White-haired kid is a beginner, there's no way he has knowledge of that meaning he is using his life force itself, if I don't stop him, he's going to die and I can't have that, he's the most talented Krigo user I have ever laid my eyes upon, I have to save him," The stranger thought as he dashed towards Zhangshun Shan, the arrows began to rain speedily from the sky, The stranger ran forward holding his weapon firmly as he swung as hard as he could brushing all the arrows away, he kept moving forward but Zhangshun Shan suddenly appeared in front of him with a manical grin, he swings his weapon towards him but the stranger jumped backwards and as he did, another Zhangshun Shan appeared behind him and expelled fire from his mouth, the stranger grinned as multiples of him appeared behind him and blew air from their mouths expelling the fire that was sent at him.

"Having an innate field is so convenient," Zhangshun Shan grinned.  "I don't even have to say any words again to activate Krigo techniques."

"How is this possible?" The stranger thought as he looked at Zhangshun Shan, he didn't show any form of fatigue or ailment.  "There's no way he could have figured out what the innate field does to the user's life force and yet, he doesn't seem to be affected in any sense whatsoever, there's something about him that even I don't know and I have to find out just what it is."

"I give up," the stranger said aloud as he raised his two arms.  "Your strength, Krigo mastery and wisdom is unbridled and inimitable, I accept I have lost."

"Took you long enough to know that, you didn't lose when you figured out I was stronger than you, you lost even before the beginning," Zhangshun Shan grinned as all the multiples of him disappear and it remained only him.  "I noticed the insignia of the band you wore around your right arm, in my former world, that was the same insignia of a sect from my village, it used to be called Kradio village,  I am wondering why you have it."

"Don't be surprised," the man grinned as he put off the clothing covering his face.  "I also belong to a sect, the name is Taiyi sect," Zhangshun Shan couldn't help but be shocked at who he saw, standing directly before him was a 7'3 tall man with long red hair, he had serious blue eyes and really thick eyebrows.  "My name is Rui Hongcha, I am the assistant for the head Lâoshī of the Taiyi sect."
