Chapter 339: Chapter 223: Multi-Front Assault, Divine Skills, Kunpeng Swallowing Technique!
"Xue Xuan, what are you thinking about?" As if noticing Xue Xuan’s distraction, Lou Liang tapped his shoulder with a folding fan.
"Ah, it’s nothing." Shaking his head, Xue Xuan mentally dismissed the images.
What was I thinking?
Even though Jiang Shu was formidable, he was currently, at most, in the Late Stage of the Detachment Realm. Faced with geniuses from high-ranking or even top-ranking Dynasties, he might be able to defeat them outright. But now, the ones he was about to face were Ye Huang and Yue Baxian. In the Hundred Dynasties Battle, these two were like vast, imposing suns, their might intimidating all other heroes. Other geniuses, no matter how brilliant or valiant, were merely stars in comparison.
However, with such a significant change in the True Martial Ancient Hall’s Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi this time, Jiang Shu will surely head to the center, Xue Xuan mused. I wonder how much he has gained by now?
"Let’s go."
Taking a deep breath, Xue Xuan mobilized the Primordial Power within him. He and Lou Liang transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the place where the Yuan Qi was surging.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Even before they got close, they heard disdainful cries and earth-shattering sounds of battle from afar.
"What kind of monster is this! This is definitely not a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast! This is a Demon Beast of the Condensing Seed Realm! This is a Demon Beast Illusion of the Condensing Seed Realm!" a knowledgeable genius in front of them exclaimed, his face full of shock.
In the sky overhead, a giant Roc spread its wings and roared. Although it was an illusion, each feather seemed tangibly real. With a flap of its wings, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged, gathering an incomparable force and forming tornadoes.
About a dozen geniuses were attacking and blocking in mid-air. Yet, these geniuses, all top-tier talents from high-ranking Dynasties, looked fragile and insignificant before the tornadoes. They were blown away like ordinary people powerless to resist, their formations shattered.
Every attack was swallowed by the Roc in a single gulp, completely consumed!
"All-out attack!" Ye Huang shouted sharply, frowning as he watched the geniuses struggle desperately. He looked towards Yue Baxian on the other side and instantly retrieved a Treasure from his Storage Bag!
"Protect me!" he roared, fiercely channeling intense spiritual power into the Treasure: the Lion Sound Buddha Bell Seal!
This Treasure, obtained in the True Martial Ancient Hall, was a Great Success of a common-grade Buddhist Treasure. Once unleashed, it would form a giant bell, directly enveloping the enemy. Beneath the bell, the Buddhist lion’s roar would intimidate all.
He had originally planned to use this Great Seal in his battle with Yue Baxian, but now seemed to be the true moment to deploy it!
Upon seeing the Roc illusion, Ye Huang had noticed a light orb on its forehead. This orb emitted an extremely familiar sensation.
This is also a Divine Skill! he realized. Moreover, this Divine Skill is definitely far superior to the Lotus Heart Technique! What does defeating Yue Baxian matter? If I can obtain this Divine Skill, the future Yue Baxian might be an entire Realm below me!
The hurricane howled, ravaging the entire landscape. Without Ye Huang blocking in front, the geniuses staggered and tottered. Every Supreme Martial Arts technique they unleashed was once again swallowed into the Roc’s belly, having no effect whatsoever!
How... how can we fight this?! one genius despaired. This is too powerful! Is this a Demon Beast of the Condensing Seed Realm? This beast is of the same Realm as a Furnace Fire Realm powerhouse! Even if it’s just an illusion, how could we possibly defeat it?
In mid-air, the Dao Hearts of several geniuses faltered, and they began to lose their will to fight. The consecutive attacks had already drained a vast amount of their Primordial Power. If Ye Huang didn’t act soon, they could only flee. Otherwise, a single flap of the Roc’s wings might mean their demise on the spot.
"Hold on a little longer! Brother Ye is almost ready!" one of Ye Huang’s loyal followers encouraged. "He said this Great Seal is a Peak common-grade Treasure, capable of annihilating even a Peak Sixth Rank Mutant Beast with one strike! Brother Ye has been gathering Primordial Power and spiritual power for so long. He clearly intends to unleash the Treasure’s maximum power."
"This Roc, as powerful as it is, is just an illusion of a Condensing Seed Realm Demon Beast! We have a chance! And don’t forget, Yue Baxian on the other side has also made his move!"
"If we can defeat this Roc illusion, even if we don’t obtain anything, the experience from this battle will be invaluable. For us, still in the Detachment Realm, fighting beyond our Realm is a precious opportunity. It might even lower the barriers to breaking through to the Furnace Fire Realm in the future!"
"Not to mention, in this Hundred Dynasties Battle, the seniors from the True Martial Sect are surely watching our every move! If we perform excellently, we might even catch their eye directly."
The genius from Ye Huang’s Dynasty couldn’t help but shout, and everyone followed his gaze. On the other side, Yue Baxian held a Big Halberd. With each swing and chop, he seemed to move mountains and rivers, as if fish and dragons leaped forth and all things thrived.
Primordial Power surged fiercely. Amidst this intense assault, Yue Baxian also activated a talisman.
Protective Vajra Talisman!
The talisman emitted a blinding light. Layers of golden light coated the Void, forming a phantom similar to Yue Baxian. This form, condensed from Primordial Power and spiritual power, resembled a descending Vajra, protecting him from the front.
With Yue Baxian’s attack, an unmatched force tore from the phantom’s hands, blasting the air and charging directly under the Roc’s left wing.
What is this? A Treasure? someone wondered.
"No, it seems like a talisman," another observed. "I’ve heard that only Furnace Fire Realm powerhouses can temper talismans with True Fire. Each talisman is akin to a minor Divine Skill. Yue Baxian must have obtained this talisman in the True Martial Ancient Hall! I just don’t know if he obtained any Divine Skills!"
