Yun Jhin couldn't stop the ball from being completed, it was way too big and unstable, staying near it meant certain death!
The radius of the incoming explosion wasn't going to be small so he needed to get the hell out of here!
Fortunately, the other two had been thrown away quite far and he had already learned their energy codes, he put one hand on the pile of flesh below him and put two fingers on his forehead as he disappeared moments before the celestial emperor could throw his ball at him.
The moment he disappeared was the same moment that the celestial emperor threw the ball down however he knew that his target had escaped.
The ball drilled into the ground creating a gigantic crater, golden lava spurted out of the ground and burning everything in sight, the celestial emperor looked around and saw how no one was around anymore, the army had already retreated and run away while Yun Jhin and the others were hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from him.
Gu Manshu and Andonara were both surprised Yun Jhin appearing near them with a 'pop' sound.
Gu Manshu even started to laugh heartily as he looked at the pile of flesh that came with Yun Jhin and said:
"It seems that not even your golden needle of the far east can do anything eh Biu Wuan?"
The pile of flesh started to move and squirm as it reconstructed itself in the form of Biu Wuan then he started to crack his neck and knuckles as he stretched.
"It's been a while since my fleshly body had been put through such intense pressure."
Biu Wuan ignored Gu Manshu's insult as he looked towards Yun Jhin and asked:
"What do you think we should do to break his fleshly body?"
"It's easier said than done, even if we make a plan it's hard to say if it will work or not considering his power."
"Wait so you don't actually know how to break his body open?"
Yun Jhin shook his head as he said:
"It will crack open with time, I already said that he was pretty close to bursting and him being awake quickens the process."
"So we only have to wait around?"
"Pretty much, but if he won't be able to find us he would surely go back to sleep, and fighting him on his home territory won't end up well at all, we need to keep him on the surface of the celestial realm until his body breaks down."
"And this is where the hard part comes in..."
Yun Jhin looked towards the sky as he felt the celestial emperor approaching again, it was practically impossible to hide from him for a long amount of time as he was connected with the realm itself, all they could do was hide for a certain amount of time before they were found out and it was quite a lucky event that they had been able to hide for enough time to discuss the plan.
Yun Jhin jumped into the air as he started hovering, he closed his eyes as he unleashed his full power, his purple and green aura embraced him like a suit of armor while Gu Manshu started to transform as well, his originally skinny body started to decay, all of his skin started to disappear as only bones remained behind, in his eye sockets a dark green soul fire burned as he looked towards the incoming celestial emperor.
Biu Wuan closed his eyes as he started to chant a Buddhist mantra, golden light engulfing the whole team as they got buffed.
Andonara smiled as she showed her shiny pearly teeth and her face started to morph, getting elongated, her body then lost its hands and legs as she turned into a snake!
Her fangs gleamed in the light of the sun as she hissed towards the celestial emperor who had arrived and immediately appeared behind them!
They knew he was going to do something like this so they all turned towards him and unleashed a bunch of Mouth acid/ Buddhist incantations/ Bone spears/ Blood spears.
The celestial emperor snorted deflecting all of the attacks with a wave of his arm, the attacks flew into the sky and exploded there harmlessly.
Yun Jhin launched himself at the celestial emperor, he had the strongest body and he would be able to tank the most hits among his party.
Even though the others had higher cultivation bases it didn't matter much in this situation as the celestial emperor could break through their ki barriers quite easily.
Yun Jhin shouted as he let out two gigantic beams of green energy from his arms, they traveled directly towards the celestial emperor as if they were two circular plates of energy ready to bisect him.
However, the celestial emperor snorted as he grabbed each beam with his hands and returned them to Yun Jhin at double the speed!
Yun Jhin dodged the returned attack by a millimeter as he felt the attacks cutting into his side and cheek.
Andonara slithered her way towards the emperor as she tried to capture him by constricting her body around his.
However, before she could even approach him a little better he grabbed her by the neck telepathically then transformed her into a pretzel.
She was thrown to the ground where she left a small crater as Biu Wuan appeared behind the celestial emperor and tried another attack with his golden needle.
However, this was a futile attempt as the emperor grabbed the needle ignoring his bleeding hand, and forcefully took it out of Biu Wuan's hand before stabbing it into his head until it came out from the other side.
Biu Wuan fell to the ground just like Andonara as he tried to take the needle out of his head.
Only Gu Manshu and Yun Jhin remained in the fight at this point.
Gu Manshu gave Yun Jhin an eye signal using the green ghost fire that lit up his eye sockets as they both attacked at the same time.
Gu Manshu transformed his whole body into a spear as he entered the emperor's midsection and left through his back then he exploded!
The explosion made the Emperor's body expand as he tried to control it and recover his original form, however, Yun Jhin entered the unhealed hole in his midsection and he started to expand in size as he let out a barrier of ki that started to shoot out small ki blasts by the hundreds of thousands!
The shell blaster attack exploded the emperor's body into smithereens as it tried to reconnect together just like Biu Wuan's did, however Biu Wuan and Andonara finally healed themselves as they started to hunt down the pieces of meat destroying them quickly until nothing remained.
However, they left out a small part of his eye as it rolled under the ground only for the celestial emperor to heal himself back to his full body.
But things weren't that good for the Emperor as he clutched his chest and his skin started to crack, he could feel that his regeneration would be the last this time, if his body broke again his soul wouldn't be able to create another.
He gasped as he exploded out of the ground not taking the 4 by surprise, they knew that it was impossible to destroy every piece of the flesh unless they took care of the body in total, destroying the body while it was whole was easier than trying to find all his pieces of scattered flesh.
However, getting him in a position where all of his body would be evaporated was currently impossible for the quartet.
Yun Jhin gasped for breath as that attack took a huge amount of his ki reserves, Biu Wuan and Gu Manshu weren't looking that great either, only Andonara was still ok because she didn't use any ki in the fight.
Yun Jhin glanced at Andonara and sent her a message:
"You will have to delay him until we can recover some of our battle power."
Andonara had hearts in her eyes as she got Yun Jhin's message, she nodded and then went ahead to fight the celestial emperor 1 on 1.
As Yun Jhin was recovering his ki and battle power along with the other two, Andonara was getting the snot beaten out of her by the weakened emperor.
The moment she tried to 1v1 him she got kicked in the face and thrown into the ground before the Emperor started to rain blow after blow on her snake tummy making her vomit out some green acid which he dodged by moving his head to the side.
But this wasn't all, the emperor knew that they were using Andonara as fodder to recover but they didn't know that while he beat the ever-living shit out of her he was also charging an ability to eradicate all of them at once!
