A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 94: Nightmare Fores (1/2)

After Su Chen gained a basic understanding of the consciousness seed’s principles, it became much easier for him to find a way to neutralize it

With the power of his consciousness crystal, Su Chen was able to quickly develop a method to counteract the consciousness seed’s sinister influence

Actually, hisanother consciousness seed However, this consciousness seed would protect the user instead — a child-will that was borne fron will attee, this child-ould automatically counterattack at full force

Because this child-as a frag in the user’s sea of knowledge would nourish it, and with the defender’s advantage, it would be incredibly difficult to defeat the child-will as long as the invader was not exceptionally more powerful than the user

Su Chen decided to name this technique the Consciousness Refineoal with the Consciousness Refineainst the Astrals He had no idea that both it and the Flying Ireat pillars of human cultivation in the future

Two days after Su Chen put the finishi+ng touch on this new technique, the Boundless Sect finally ed to consolidate their control over aled Corridor Plains

Two days after that, Ye Fenghan returned froht the fruits of his investigation back with hily powerful fored Corridor Plains There was only an average Five Eleed to the Trigenders

The Trigenders were lascivious by nature, but they did have some special tricks up their sleeves For example, their illusion techniques were quite powerful As such, Su Chen ihtmare Forest’s defenses would be primarily illusory in nature

Since Su Chen had just finished creating the Consciousness Refineave the command for the Boundless Sect to htmare Forest By this point, the Astrals ell prepared for their arrival Even though Nightmare Forest seemed just as quiet as usual, Su Chen could sense that there was quite a bit of power lurking within the darkness

Whoosh!+

A low cry shattered the gloomy silence

A thousand Boundless Sect disciples first entered Nightht Shaking Realroup of powerful experts; here, however, they were nothing more than common soldiers

Even so, if they attacked all at once, their low status didn’t dihtest

The sky was filled with ht, which shortly descended from the sky

At the saht forth leaves that criss-crossed in an uneven pattern The trees’ foliage rapidly forround from the sky

As the streaks of Sword Qi descended down on the forest, sinister green streaks of light shot out of the forest in response

At the saround and shot off towards the sky

Like the Harpies, the Astrals were quite proficient in Arcana Techniques As such, they used Arcana Techniques almost as much as they used consciousness techniques

Humans, in comparison, had developed their own cultivation system and thus freed themselves from the classic dependence on Arcana Techniques They pursued the ability to attack rapidly in order to enhance adaptability in combat

The sword streaks collided with the droplets of liquid fire, filling the sky with a shockingly brilliant flash of scintillating light

However, when the light show ended, the fireballs had been co brightly

Just as the streaks of sword light were about to penetrate through the foliage, the leaves opened up and giant, stone-like figures stepped forth, leaping into the air They punched out with their bare fists, the frightening y thattheht continued their descent just alike the tide The violent energy sla them to bits and pieces

A river suddenly eushed towards the sky, thrashi+ng and roaring at theon

But the Boundless Sect’s disciples didn’t panic Instead, they focused their attacks together, si their palms out in front of theed to forer, more powerful tornado that scattered the torrential river The Astrals beloere badly startled when they saw the results of this exchange

This was due not only to the gap in strength between the two parties, but also to the fundamental difference between cultivation techniques and Arcana Techniques

Arcana Techniques were purely related to the application of Origin Energy Thus, it th from the environment; it never fully possessed it So, it was much easier to disperse and dispel

Cultivation techniques, on the other hand, focused on utilizing the energy of nature to strengthen oneself and advance one’s biological status, obtaining great power as a result

The key difference between the tas that practitioners of the for powerful Arcana Techniques, while the latter did so by consolidating their own strength

For this reason, Arcana Techniques were often slightly inferior in group battles

And with a genius like Su Chen influencing the field, the Boundless Sect’s ability to fight in a fixed formation was enhanced even further This helped prevent chaotic flows of Origin Energy fro and also increased their efficiency and power output when attacking

As such, this group of a thousand cultivators was easily able to suppress the Astrals’ Five Eleh this formation was by no means a trump card, the Five Elements Formation should not have been overco the formation trembled in despair when they sa easily their opponents overpowered it

The Nightan to collapse one after another under this barrage of endless attacks

Once the first layer fell, it became clear that this battle was about to come to an end

As expected, the enemy’s front line rapidly crumbled away

Any resistance quickly disappeared By the time the thousand soldiers of the Boundless Sect slashed their way through the canopy, they discovered that there were no opponents waiting on the other side — the Astrals had all fled, not even leaving their puppet servants behind
