Chapter 887 Mid-Level Emperor Grade Battle Technique
Instantly, Coyle Alstreim made a move as dark red flames surged out from his sides, giving him an appearance of possessing flaming wings that sustained his ascent. He soared back a few kilometers in an instant and reached the edge of the martial platform. He retreated at least five kilometers away and stopped before he swung his arm at the approaching Nadia.Discover, Devour, Delight: N♡vεlB¡n.
His palm shot forwards along with the momentum and manifested into a majestic flame palm that descended. However, it wasn’t over. Coyle Alstreim unleashed another palm at the same beat, and another flaming palm emerged out of his hand.
That flaming palm was even faster than the first and was about to collide into the first flaming palm, but unsuspectingly, the two palms merged and became concentrated as the undulations flared!
*Rumble!~*
The air shook from the sheer might of the battle technique!
Coyle Alstreim continued to unleash a few more palms that combined with the first blazing palm, making it into one big and condensed flaming palm that blazed with an intensity never seen before!
Nadia stopped approaching and looked at the immense flaming palm, blocking her way to Coyle Alstreim. Her expression was as indifferent as ever, but that didn’t mean she didn’t recognize the growing threat that was in front of her.
However, she was very curious, and besides, this battle wasn’t a life and death battle like the ones she always faced in the Sunset Tear Mountain. She wasn’t worried.
"This..." Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s expression became complex.
The other Grand Elders also raised their brows. However, the Elders who witnessed this started to become fidgety and noisy.
Davis noticed this phenomenon. He couldn’t help but ask his mother by using soul transmission.
Claire narrowed her brows for a while before it relaxed, "I’ve heard about this technique before."
"It’s the Alstreim Family’s famous Mid-Level Emperor Grade Palm Art, a Battle Technique whose prowess is at the peak of the Eighth Stage but requires immense effort and concentration to train. Each overlapping palm increases the flaming palm’s power by many folds, but as you can guess, the more flaming palms that overlap, the more difficult it is to control."
"However, the might created from those overlapping palms is something else. It is said that this technique is actually comparable to a High-Level Emperor Grade Battle Technique, equaling an attack from a Ninth Stage Powerhouse when nine flaming palms overlap!"
It was the peak of the battle technique - The Ninth Wave!
Among the Alstreim Family’s living members, it is said that only Ancestor Dian Alstreim has reached the Ninth Wave!
"Hahaha! It looks like Coyle Alstreim went all out from the beginning. Not a bad choice when facing an opponent of... Nadia’s caliber." Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke.
"Well, it seems like Young Mistress’s magical beast mount adopted a wait and see attitude. Perhaps, Nadia feels confident?" The Solitary Soul Avatar responded and mused.
"In any case, I didn’t think a strong branch like him still existed. If he wasn’t hidden, then he unleashed his potential just now. I think that the family can nurture him into the strongest Grand Elder!"
"Haha, why not a Ninth Stage Powerhouse?" Davis laughingly asked.
"That’s almost impossible for them. Not only would they have to comprehend the Level Nine Intent of Fire Laws, but they would also have to condense a Rune to become a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse!"
"Look at him, despite being at the High-Level Law Sea Stage; he has only comprehended till Level Six Intent of Fire Laws. That much is recognizable from the intensity and the prowess of these flames. Becoming a Ninth Stage Powerhouse just isn’t possible with his current level, at least, not in the foreseeable future."
"Majority of them are like Coyle Alstreim. Their comprehension ability is pretty low, and it limits their future. Even the current Patriarch, Eldric Alstreim, has only comprehended till Level Six Intent, perhaps on the verge of breaking through in comprehension of Fire Laws."
"The chances of becoming a Ninth Stage Powerhouse is minimal. I’m not counting on it, but pining for a true successor."
"Fellow cultivator Dian Alstreim’s words make sense." Davis lightly nodded his head.
However, he became increasingly suspicious. That was a pretty damn long explanation considering his true stature.
Coyle Alstreim took a deep breath before he looked as if he stabilized, unaware that the Ancestor has just fixed him to be a person who might never reach the Ninth Stage.
"I have to say. If you didn’t stay still, I might’ve been forced to unleash this extraordinary technique at the fifth palm, but since you waited for my attack to form, I can only say that I will not disappoint you!"
"Nine Hell Sky Palm - Seven Waves!"
Coyle Alstreim yelled and pushed his palm along with his entire arm! The three hundred meters flaming palm that was incredibly condensed blazed like a flaming overlord as it diagonally descended towards Nadia, trying to pulverize her into ashes!
