Chapter 577: A Loss? (1/2)
The heavenly weapon essence was sharp enough to cut through spirit treasures. Even Jingshui’s devil citadel couldn’t stop it. Each slash severed hundreds of roots, but Jingshui’s art was no joke. The sacred tree next to his forehead remained untouchable.
This was one of the top arts in Jin since it came from the Daoist Scripture. The guy was incredible for comprehending this technique from a few pages of the scripture. This comprehension was comparable to cultivators that have trained for several hundred years. The tree continued to fuel energy to him.
“Pluff!” Feiyun made it through Jingshui’s defense for the second time. He used Swift Samsara to get behind the guy and pierced through his body.
Blood dripped down the blade. It had penetrated Jingshui’s spleen. Because of the side of the blade, when it was inside his body, it looked like it was about to tear him in half.
The tree continued to heal Jingshui at a visible rate. A white radiance rushed out of the wound and assaulted Feiyun’s hands, numbing them to the bones.
“Ra!” Jingshui roared before spewing out black clouds from his mouth. They had lightning arcs weaving around them.
Feiyun’s clothes turned to ashes instantly, revealing a set of armor. This was passed down from one Divine King to the next. There was a total of seven: a protective mirror, two wrist-guards, two thigh-protectors, chest plate, and lower plate.
It was made from Fiery Refined Metal, extremely tough. Six thousand years didn’t damage it at all.
With the regalia, his skin turned yellow, looking just like a god of war. He began channeling beast souls through his veins. Their cries could be heard coming from his pores. His bones became clear like precious white stones. He unleashed a punch and a flood of beast souls came out.
This power of 9,998 beast souls could tear the world asunder.
Jingshui was also going crazy. He raised both hands - one condensing an immortal cloud while the other creating an evil cloud - making him look just like a deity.
“Boom!” Their collision created a deafening blast, nearly destroying the four barriers on stage.
The Giant quickly took out a net-like spirit treasure to seal the stage once more right before the total collapse of the barriers.
If this third boss of the Yin Gou didn’t react in time, the shock waves would have killed some of the spectators. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and lamented: “These brats are strong, why wasn’t I that strong when I was their age?”
This didn’t look like a fight between two youths but more like a battle to the death between two big shots of the cultivation world.
The souls of the beast gathered onto a single punch as Feiyun fought directly against Jingshui.
Among the young generation, Jingshui was famous for this absolute offensive power; just one slap could kill a young king. On the other hand, Feiyun was famous for his speed but instead of using his advantage, he chose to fight directly. Many people felt that he was insane.
“Rumble!” The stage quaked from the impact with cracks appearing.
Keep in mind that this stage was made from molten jade with more than ten thousand runes but it was still on the verge of collapsing.
“Feng Feiyun is still one level lower than Jingshui. His body is strong but to go hard against hard like this? He’ll lose for sure.” An old man with a feathered fan sighed.
Scholar Heaven Calculating disagreed: “Feiyun’s power stems from his physical prowess so he has better longevity. Jingshui’s power is from arts and techniques with violet spirit energy as the foundation, he’ll use them up faster. Perhaps Feiyun wants to fatigue the guy’s energy then defeat him.”
The old man shook his head: “At Jingshui’s cultivation, his dantian is as massive as an ocean, capable of containing massive violet energy. All 360 prime meridians are open, acting as rivers to channel worldly energy into his body for replenishment.”
The scholar replied: “He is a dual-cultivation, able to have ten times the force of a regular cultivator, but he’ll use ten times more energy too.”
Jingshui was impressive indeed. Space continued to melt from his attacks. Normal people couldn’t stop the power of the beast souls, but he was capable due to his dual-techniques, unleashing a force of seven dragon-tigers.
Seven dragon-tigers was the force of a half-step but he could already do it at the fifth level of Heaven’s Mandate.
“Feng Feiyun, doing this to waste my spirit energy is very unwise. I’ll have you know that my sacred tree will fuel me nonstop energy. I won’t be tired even if we fight for a month!” Jingshui shouted and unleashed eighteen punches with the force of a mountain, causing the earth to tremble.
Ordinary fifth-level cultivators would need to watch their energy, otherwise they would run out, resulting in lower battle potential. This wasn’t the case for Jingshui. Despite using ten times more energy, his violet central palace was a hundred times bigger than normal.
