Thousand Buddha's Palm - 278

The sword was swung down at an incredible speed. The moment the full motion was completed, Yao Mun's remaining arm disappeared and a crescent shot at Ying Xiong.

The crescent was extremely thin and made up of four colors. Gray, orange, red, and black.

Although the crescent was thin, Ying Xiong did not underestimate it. He used all of his effort to make the bell surrounding him stronger.

As the attack got closer, the space around it began to shake. It was the most powerful attack showcased in the tournament so far. Yao Mun had used two body parts in order to form it. His leg to form the sword itself and his arm to attack.

In less than a second, the attack collided with the bell. The moment they met, a ringing bell sound resounded across the stadium. 

Yao Mun's attack cut through the bell, but it was much weaker than before. It could now only display 5% of its previous strength. 

Despite that, when Ying Xiong was hit by it, the entire left side of his body was cut off. His left arm and leg, as well as his left nipple were separated from his body.

The injuries did not stop Ying Xiong from moving. Even his expression did not change from the attack as he jumped in the air.

Yao Mun was falling from the sky as a result of the attack. Along with sacrificing two body parts, he had used up all of his Qi in the final attack.

When Ying Xiong leaped in the air, he ended up twenty feet away from Yao Mun and a few feet above.

Yao Mun could barely even look in Ying Xiongs direction as he fell. Then, Ying Xiong attacked. With only the right side of his body remaining, he put out his right palm and spoke three words.

"Thousand buddha's palm."

As soon as he spoke, a thousand phantom buddhas, all equal in size to the one he had used earlier appeared. They were not physical like the other one, and would not interact with the physical plane.

The thousand buddha phantoms were not part of an attack, but made as a result of Ying Xiong using the full strength of his divine physique, the "thousand buddha divine physique."

The real attack appeared in front of Ying Xiong and shot down towards Yao Mun.

At first it seemed like a single, smaller version of Zhou Fans buddha's palm, but as it moved, phantom-like palms appeared behind it and moved much faster than it, going directly into the main palm. This caused the main palm to become stronger and faster.

As the phantom palms moved, it sounded as if a giant laser gun was being powered up. Each palm that entered the main one made such a sound.

Just as the main palm was about to hit Yao Mun, the final phantom palm merged with the main body, forming the thousand buddha palm.

The palm hit Yao Mun, but Yao Mun had not been idle as it came towards him. Although from the moment that the main palm first appeared to the moment that it reached its final form only half a second had passed, that was more than enough for Yao Mun to react.

He did not even need to be hit by the palm to feel its might overwhelming him.

"Damn you!" He screamed as his entire body seemed to disappear. 

In the place that Yao Mun once was, a heart, some organs, and a brain remained. Everything else had been sacrificed.

Although Yao Mun would only survive a second in such a state, his attack may be able to kill Ying Xiong in such a time.

An explosion came from where Yao Mun was, colliding with the thousand buddha palm.

Although the fight between the palm and the explosion lasted only an instant, it was by far the most powerful clash in the tournament.

In an instant, both the palm and the explosion disappeared. A second later, Ying Xiong and Yao Mun appeared outside the stage.

"Final battle winner! Ying Xiong!" The voice spoke.

Claps resounded across the colosseum at the announcement.

Although the final attacks canceled each other out, Yao Mun only had a second of life remaining in the end.

He died soon after the clash.

Although he lost, the power of the last explosion was incredible. It was equal to Ying Xiong's thousand buddha palm, which was insanely powerful.

Even if he was fully healed and detonated his entire body, the explosion may not be much more powerful. By sacrificing the entire middle section of his body and his head, the explosion reached unprecedented degrees. It would only be much more powerful if he sacrificed his brain or heart.

He would have done so, but he would have died instantly, ending the fight.

Without even glancing at Ying Xiong, Yao Mun got up and silently walked towards the stands.

After a minute of celebration between Ying Xiong, his mother, and Zhou Fan, another white door appeared.

As everyone entered, they realized they were in a new room. The new room was a long hall with seats on the side and a red carpet going along it.

At the end of the hall was Zhou Fan and heaven, standing on a stage. At the other end were all the contestants. In the seats along the side, everyone else sat.

"With the final battle ending, the youth galactic assembly is over. As the final part, we will be handing out rewards." Heaven spoke. His voice clearly resounding in everyone's mind.

Everyone was shocked at his words while all the contestants showed joy. With such strong hosts, even the worst reward was sure to be great.

"For last place, Guang Fu, …." After calling all the names of the people who got out in the first round, those whose names were called walked down the hall. It was a minute long walk, but nobody minded.

They formed a line below the stage and came up when their names were called.

Guang Fu was the last person in the first group to go up.

Zhou Fan spoke to him. "For you, Guang Fu, I shall speed up the time required for your meridians to fully reveal themselves."

Nobody understood what he meant, but Guang Fu could guess.

Zhou Fan pointed at his forehead, and cut the necessary time for his meridians talents to reach completion from ten thousand years to a hundred years.
