Chapter 747 - Core Formation (2/2)
“It is allegedly a legendary art used by the Azure Mystic Sect Master. No one had seen it in real life. Not even the Cloud Heaven Thearch could have forced him to unleash this art. I had never thought that Chen Beixuan could make him use it,” the elder from the Black Water Sect exclaimed.
Many Earth Level Deities were also taken by surprise.
Divine Power was the stuff of legends. Rumor had it that no one, other than the Ancestral Master of the Azure Mystic Sect had completed the art. Ther user could turn a gaze into a blade and it was powerful enough to slay G.o.ds or demons.
“Clank, clank.”
Chen Fan’s fists clashed with the Heavenly Swords, making clear and cloud clanks.
The flaming golden armor had protected him from the deadly Heavenly Swords, but it could’t fully negate the impact. For a while, Chen Fan was mired in a stand off with the two blades.
Even as the Azure Mystic Sect Master was about to heave a sigh of relief, Chen Fan threw his head back and roared, “Watch me!”
Crack.
Chen Fan’s eyes shot out two jets of fire, one gold and the other black. Within the two conflagrations were the outlines of two weapons.
A golden halberd appeared in the golden flame while a coal-black Divine Blade came out of the dark flame. It was the Divine Blade called Etheric Black Fire.
The two Divine Weapons swooped down onto their target, ripping open the air.
Li Fire Golden Eyes, the second form:
“Divine Weapon Transform!”
This Divine Power would transform fire into Divine Weapons based on the fire’s attribute. When used with as much level of attainment as Chen Fan had, those Divine Weapons were more powerful than Quasi-Spirit Treasures and each came with their unique abilities.
“Clang, clang, clang.”
The Heavenly Swords collided with the Battle Halberd and the Divine Sword.
One tenth of a second later, the Battle Halberd let out a flash of golden light that shattered the Heavenly Sword. Meanwhile, the Divine Sword had also cut through the other Heavenly Sword. Under the Azure Mystic Sect Master’s surprised eyes, the Battle Halberd and the Divine Sword charged forward and landed blows on him.
Boom!
A puff of mist came up behind the Azure Mystic Sect Master as his body fell from the sky and splashed into the river, causing a series of giant waves.
The waves engulfed boats and killed many innocent bystanders.
“Clank!”
The two Divine Weapons didn’t give up their chase.
The golden Battle Halberd turned into a fiery dragon while the Divine Blade turned into a Black Kylin. They descended from the sky, and were hot on the Azure Mystic Sect Master’s heel.
“Sizzle, sizzle.”
The water in the Fury Dragon River sizzled as the two divine beasts dived in.
Many people scrambled to safety.
Meanwhile, many Earth Level Deities wore troubled looks. Is Chen Beixuan going to claim victory? Is he going to dominate Kunxu?
Suddenly, a roar came up from under the river.
“Chen Beixuan, you are dead!”
Boom!
Thousands of water spouts erupted from the river and from one of them came out a man in an azure outfit. The Azure Mystic Sect Master’s clothes were tattered, and his hair was messy. His body was covered with burn marks.
However, with each step he took, his energy increased.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
After nine wide strides, the Azure Mystic Sect Master seemed to have surpa.s.sed the bottleneck that had been restricting his energy as his power surged in the sky, stirring the clouds. A giant tornado formed around him, linking his energy with the firmament.
His sleeves flapped against the gale around him as a divine light came up in his eyes.
The Azure Mystic Sect Master’s presence exuded an immense pressure that permeated in the air, squeezing energy out of any living being. Even the Earth Level Deities around him felt the strain on their system unbearable.
“This is…”
Elephant G.o.d Master’s eyes were wide open in disbelief.
“Sky Immortal! He finally made it!” the Das.h.i.+ Sect Master said in a bitter and dry voice.
However powerful the Azure Mystic Sect Master was, he was an Earth Level Deity just like his peers. There and then, his level of attainment had reached a point beyond that of an Earth Level Deity, to a state that no one had ever seen before.
“Chen Beixuan, it’s all your fault! You forced me to undo my work. I will use your blood to avenge the humiliation!”
The Azure Mystic Sect Master’s impa.s.sive voice drifted down from above the clouds.
His Essence Qi surged even as he spoke, devouring as much energy from nature as possible. In a few seconds, his power had surged by at least tenfold.
“Core Formation State?”
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and asked, “You have already started forming an Essence Core?”
In order to enter the Golden Core state, one should first form an Essence Core and go through Thunder Tribulation and nine transformations. Once the Essence Core was formed, its energy had to be guarded at all times since depleting it meant undoing hundreds of years of hard work.
It was apparent that the Azure Mystic Sect Master was on his last leg, otherwise he would have never tapped into the force of the Essence Core.
Although its energy could only be used once, an Essence Core could be as powerful as a Golden Core. Once the energy was depleted, the cultivator would need to recharge the Essence Core again, and it would take another lifetime to do that. Therefore, depleting an Essence Core basically meant the end of one’s journey in cultivation.
“No big deal, watch me break your Essence Core!”
Chen Fan snorted and flew into the sky as the fire around him burned more furiously.
Boom!
The battle continued as the two crashed into each other once again.
