Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 552

The situation inside the Heavenly Illusion was not meant for the public to spectate. However, powerful cultivators could still sense the circumstances taking place. The five-chambered Hung Siu had the clearest view, but the four-chambered cultivators could also see the participants clearly

It did not take long for the spectators to notice Kam Chin Kee’s rapid movements. Chui Yim performed excellently too, fighting twenty-seven silver fish fiercely. However speed was not the most important factor; to the important figures that knew about the Heavenly Illusion’s secret, the mysterious chance was.

As time passed, they started to see the elimination of the teens and youths. It was as if a weird, dazzling silver monster had vomited them out onto the stone stage on the cliff. Some were disappointed, while some were happy with their results, as not every participant had the same aim as Hung Ching Sun to find the mysterious calling.

Their level determined which level of the Heavenly Waterfall they were allowed to cultivate on, and this was already a significant chance for the growing teens.

Those that still remained were the elites of the two-chambered state. Ching Koi, Lam Kuk Ho, Kung-Suen Ching Lau, the three Hung Clan disciples, as well as the Cloud Palace Itinerants.

However, Chui Yim seemed to be struggling. He had already reached the sixth stage, battling fifty-four silver fish that were at the peak of grade one.

His burning hair had grown, but he looked like he didn’t seem well.

Honestly, Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee had different styles. Kam Chin Kee was an all-rounder; he could perform group attacks with his puppets, defend, and control with his gliphs. He was a mysterious teen. On the other hand, Chui Yim spent the last four years improving his physical strength, gliphilities, and short-ranged attacks.

Be it Flowing July Flame or True Domineer, they were explosive gliphilities that allowed him to utilize great power exceeding cultivators of the same state for a brief moment. However, in martial arts, brute force didn’t last long, which was the situation with Chui Yim now. He had bad stamina.

Although the Heaven’s Flame in his heart chamber gave him endless energy, it could not sustain his terrifying burst power. He had improved greatly from when he just reached the one-chambered state and could sustain the burning hair state for more than fifteen minutes, but not by that much.

The test of the Heavenly Illusion was a test of stamina, and this was exactly what Chui Yim lacked.

Boom boom boom…

Chui Yim sent out continuous punches to crush the fish and make his way to the seventh stage. He panted hard, obviously unable to take it any longer.

---

As time passed, Hung Koh was thrown out at the seventh stage, as well as Hung Si Yuen.

Ching Koi and Kung-Suen Ching Lau couldn’t make it past the sixth stage.

After trying his best, there were still about twenty fish left, but Chui Yim’s flaming hair could not last any longer, and the fish joined forces to eliminate him.

Chui Yim was reluctant. He looked around the stone stage, and seeing there was no Kam Chin Kee, he smiled. “All the best! Cloud Palace never fails!”

Now, only Hung Ching Sun and Kam Chin Kee were left in the illusion.

---

Hung Ching Sun was currently at the eighth stage, surrounded by seventy-two grade-one fish.

The Silver Curtain that Hung Ching Sun thought of at the Heavenly Silver Waterfall’s Heavenly World was great to deal with group attacks. Every curtain he launched could take out a group of silver fish.

Great Wisdom City was a place full of exquisite battle techniques. The Hung Clan’s secret Great Strike technique allowed Hung Ching Sun to move freely under this scary attack. His clean battle technique along with his gliphility suitable to go against group attacks made him like a fish in water.

However, Hung Ching Sun was getting annoyed, as he knew that this was his limit. There was no way he could pass the ninth stage, and nobody had successfully done so in centuries.

At the ninth stage, there would be eighty-one silver fish, but the number wasn’t the main point, the silver fish were. They were all at the peak of grade one, so they had scary offensive capability. They became beasts that moved at grade one speed but had a grade two attack.

Going against eighty-one grade-two gliphic beasts!? It was suicidal even for grade three elites!

However, the call he once felt was still not yet here.

What’s going on?

---

Hung Siu watched the situation without a word. He could roughly guess what was going to happen with reference to the book of the Heavenly Illusion that recorded all scenarios from the previous centuries.

Now, Kam Chin Kee was already in the ninth stage. He knew that things were bad when he saw the eighty-one whirlpools.

The fish became much more agile, and there was strong movement in the silver space; the ninth stage was much tougher than he thought.

When Yellow Bee, his fastest puppet, flew out from a fish’s attack, Kam Chin Kee’s face fell. The Genesis Gliph that he controlled the puppets with was connected to his mental state, which was a function normal puppet strings didn’t have. This also meant that he had a better sense of what was going on.

None of the silver fish in the previous eight stages had such great power.

Without hesitation, he kept Yellow Bee in his Divine Bracelet of Five Elements. The small, agile puppet had bad defense, and under the attacks of the eighty-one silver fish, it might’ve been destroyed within no time.

This was the same situation for Red Bird too. Kam Chin Kee gave up on using it and kept it in the bracelet.

Facing such a terrible situation, rather than feeling fear, Kam Chin Kee wore a smile.

“Siu Tin, it’s your turn now,” he whispered.

As soon as he did so, a small spider ran out of his hair and dropped onto Kam Chin Kee’s nose. It was only the size of a thumb, but with a leap, it disappeared after hearing Kam Chin Kee’s summon.

At this time, the eighty-one fish with the capability of grade-two gliphic beasts arrived in front of Kam Chin Kee who was left with only Blue Wolf…

However, Kam Chin Kee smiled gently.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!

Eight loud sounds rang out, and eight one-meter-long spikes appeared out of the blue. These spikes were attached to a two-meter-tall giant spider that was shielding Kam Chin Kee with its long legs!
