Chapter 287: Chapter 192: Earth Aura_1
Big Dipper Pivot, the stars blazoned bright, Sword Qi like a rainbow.
The might of the Spiritual Treasure, the capability of the Formation, had reached an extreme.
Although the people within the Formation were Nascent Soul Cultivators, the intensity of the battlefield at this moment was such that even those undergoing Divinity Transformation would feel terrified.
Of course, these refer to wild Divinity Transformation cultivators—those without a Spiritual Treasure to protect their bodies, without Divine Skills to rely on, and without formidable Divine Bodies—possessing only the Cultivation Realm, their combat power not quite corresponding.
The world is full of hardships, especially for Loose Cultivators; such Divinity Transformation cultivators are not uncommon.
Thus, it’s no wonder that the Sects governed the world, reigning supreme for thousands of years!
However, nothing in the world is constant; what remains unchanging?
Even the sacred places of the Immortal Gates sometimes encounter immovable obstacles and suffer crushing defeats.
Indeed, within the strong there is stronger still, and every mountain looks up to a taller one!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
One saw thousands of streaks of starlight falling, seeking to immobilize the Taoist Man’s body, penetrate flesh and blood, and dissolve the Divine Soul.
Starlight, starlight, the light of the stars, wherein lies the profound mystery in simply “light shining” two words—the Cycle of Heaven’s starlight, reflected and illuminated by the treasure mirror, more intense than the blazing sun, the fierce winds and thunderous fire, the specks of starlight like grains of sand, grinding flesh to reveal white bone, even if one possessed the Divine Skills of a Venerable Primordial Spirit, within the Formation life would still hang by a thread.
However…
The Taoist Man stood with hands behind his back, neither dodging nor evading, with only the Earth Aura trailing down in strands, protecting his body.
Thousands of streaks of starlight shone towards him, the might of the Spiritual Treasure, the power of the Formation, even Divinity Transformation with treasure would surely feel the pressure.
But falling upon the Taoist Man, there was only the sound of clear and resounding clangs, like rain striking banana leaves in a fierce collision, the rampant starlight getting shattered, unable to break through the trailing strands of the Earth Aura.
His defense was terrifying to the extent that not even the combined Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure, formed by the twenty-one Cycle of Heaven Constellation Mirrors, in accord with the Beidou Tianshu Grand Formation, could breach his outer protection?
Everyone was shocked.
But the offensive had not ended.
After the thousands of streaks of starlight, there came another sword, swiftly following.
A rainbow piercing the sun, an aura ferocious and tumultuous.
Sword Cultivator, Tianshu Sword Cultivator!
A Great Nascent Soul Cultivator, with a Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure, combined with the Big Dipper Immortal Legend, the Tianshu Sword Cultivator’s technique, unleashing ultimate destructive power.
This sword could cross heavenly barriers and slay beings undergoing Divinity Transformation!
However…
“Clang!!!”
A loud clang sounded, with sparks scattering across the sky.
The Taoist Man stood with hands behind his back, an indifferent look on his face, standing immovable as if he were a towering mountain.
The Sword Cultivator appeared, full of astonishment, as his Spirit Sword, though dragon-like, could not progress an inch further.
The Tianshu Sword, a Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure in conjunction with the Big Dipper Immortal Legend, the Tianshu Swordsmanship put forth with all might in one strike; in terms of lethality and assault, it surpassed even the twenty-one Cycle of Heaven Constellation Mirrors.
Therefore, his achievements in battle surpassed Yuyao by a fraction.
But it was only by a fraction.
The sword coming from the Big Dipper, a rainbow piercing the sun, a three-foot blade attempting to break into the Earth Aura, barely making it three inches before it could not advance any further.
The Earth Aura was dense and thick, each strand seemingly as heavy as thousands of mountains and peaks, weighing down upon the Tianshu Sword, making this Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure unable to bear the weight, unable to shoulder it, like a trapped dragon, trembling incessantly.
Heavy, heavy, heavy!
Solid, solid, solid!
Strong, strong, strong!
– This was the sensation Chen Zhang was experiencing at that moment.
It felt to him that his sword was not thrust into a person’s body, but rather into the metallic stones of a mountain, into the thick earth of the land.
Hard, extremely hard, exceptionally hard!
Heavy, tremendously heavy, extremely heavy!
At that moment, he finally understood why even such a complete set of powerful Middle Grade Spiritual Treasures as the Cycle of Heaven Constellation Mirrors couldn’t break through the opponent’s outer defenses.
Such impenetrability of the dense Earth Aura, the thickness of the Earth Aura; even his Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure exerting full force could only breach by three inches.
After three inches, the blade stuck in the golden-stone mountain, sunk into the thick earth, with thousands of mountains weighing it down heavily.
Even a Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure was like a trapped dragon, unable to rise.
Such defense, such formidable power, it was merely a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure?
Impossible, absolutely impossible, no Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure could!
If not a Spiritual Treasure, then what was it…
In a moment of horror, his mind slightly distracted.
The Taoist Man raised his hand, delivering a palm strike.
A palm strike, casually executed, seemingly careless.
But in his opponent’s eyes, it was Earth-shattering, thunderous with the weight of ten thousand jun.
Chen Zhang’s pupils constricted; he desperately wanted to withdraw his sword, but the Tianshu Spirit Sword stuck in the Earth Aura, burdened by thousands of mountains, was like a dragon or snake in chains, completely unable to free itself.
With no other choice, Chen Zhang could only abandon the Spirit Sword, gritting his teeth and lifting a palm, meeting the incoming attack.
“Bang!!!”
“Pfft!!!”
The clash between them resulted in a loud boom and a muffled impact.
Without any suspense, Chen Zhang was sent flying on the spot, blood scattering like rain.
The hand that met the palm, along with the entire arm, was completely shattered, dyeing half his body red.
His body’s trunk was also struck, the upper and lower garments torn apart, blood spewing from various places.
Just one palm strike, just one hit, and the once graceful young man turned into a bloodied, tumbling mess.
“Chen Zhang!”
“Junior Brother!”
“Ah!!!”
Seeing this scene, Yuyao screamed and stood up, the twenty-one Cycle of Heaven Constellation Mirrors swirling around, with thousands of starlight beams shifting and dancing; in an instant, they condensed into one, forming a nearly tangible, extremely thick column of light, aiming to crush the Taoist Man.
A maneuver to save Zhao by besieging Wei!
Yuyao made her move, launching a fierce attack on Xu Yang.
On the other side, Dikui also shifted his formation, moving the severely injured Chen Zhang to a hidden spot.
Seeing this, Xu Yang did not care. He clasped his hands together, pushed forward, and released the Earth Aura once again.
Rebellion Seal!
“Boom!”
With the Rebellion Seal activated, the thunder and fire lent it strength, roaring upward against the firmament, directly striking the starlight column.
“Bang!!!”
A massive sound erupted, shaking the earth and the mountains.
The light column shattered, and the Star Mirror dimmed.
The Earth Seal crumbled, the Mysterious Yellow dispersed.
It seemed a draw.
However…
The Mysterious Yellow Earth Aura was just a wisp.
Around the Taoist Man, the aura hung down in shades of Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, and there were still millions and millions left.
“Rebellion Seal!”
Another move, Earth Aura transformed into a seal, Thunder Fire Rebellion burst forth, directly striking the Star Treasure Mirror.
So powerful?
Indeed, that powerful!
The Heavenly Craft Creation Technique, the art of the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor, and the lifetime achievements of Taoism were not to be taken lightly. How could they be ordinary?
In terms of defense, in terms of sturdiness, the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, using the sturdiness of metal and stone and the density of earth, and further combining components of tens of millions of Metal and Earth Magic Artifacts, they forge the Mysterious Yellow Earth Aura, a Spiritual Divine Skill, a grand Mech Armor technique.
What is Mysterious Yellow Earth Aura?
Mysterious and Yellow represent Heaven and Earth!
It is said that in Ancient Times, within the primeval realm, the Old Master created a treasure when opening Heaven, known as—Heaven Earth Mysterious Yellow Linglong Pagoda!
This pagoda, made out of Heaven Earth Mysterious Yellow, is known for its defensive prowess, impervious to all techniques, invincible since the beginning.
That shows the power of Mysterious and Yellow.
Xu Yang lacks the power of the Old Master and the mechanisms of the Ancestor of Dao, unable to obtain the Mysterious Yellow Qi, but with the Three Mountains and Five Peaks Seal and the Heavenly Crafting Technique, he has refined the Mysterious Yellow Earth Aura, that is, the Yellow Aura among the Mysterious Yellow Qi.
The Earth’s position is Kun, the aura is Mysterious Yellow, carrying all with its virtue!
This Mysterious Yellow Earth Aura, achieved through later efforts, although not as great as the innate Mysterious Yellow, is still top-notch among artifacts created later, second only to a complete later Heaven Earth Mysterious Yellow. Calling it second in defense would not be a problem.
With such a Spiritual Treasure, such Mech Armor, such a Divine Technique, how could it possibly be broken by a mere Star Mirror or Tianshu Sword?
He is not alone, nor is it a single Spiritual Treasure fighting solo; it’s a Mech Armor, with tens of millions of Magic Artifacts fighting together.
In terms of Spiritual Treasure alone, the Midnight Middle Grade Three Mountains and Five Peaks Thunder Fire Rebellion Seal is not as good as the combined components of the Star Mirror and the Supreme Grade Tianshu Sword.
But overall, your Cycle of Heaven Constellation Mirror only has twenty-one sides, while my Three Mountains and Five Peaks Thunder Fire has tens of millions of Magic Artifacts.
A single Magic Artifact might be insignificant.
A hundred Magic Artifacts might be like ants.
But what about thousands or tens of thousands?
Tens of millions of artifacts, united as one, with a Spiritual Treasure at the core, directing and controlling the millions—how could it be?
Even Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasures would struggle to compete.
The Mysterious Yellow Earth Aura is exceptionally strong in defense and not just in defense.
The Three Mountains and Five Peaks, thousands of towering peaks, the power of thick earth, needless to say, it’s heavy.
Even without using spells, just an ordinary strike would be earth-shattering for a regular cultivator.
Not only is the defense extreme, but the strength is also extreme.
In close combat, it is no less than an immortal fighting physique.
Chen Zhang just now served as a bloody example with his own body.
As a Sword Cultivator and a warrior, his physical body is not weak, indeed quite strong, perhaps not as strong as a cultivator of the same level, but definitely surpassing other cultivators.
Such a Sword Cultivator, with a single palm strike resulting in crippling injury.
This shows the power of this body is not something an ordinary person can handle.
Chen Zhang left with serious injuries, and Yuyao arrived with anger and shock.
However, even with all her strength poured into the Star Treasure Mirror, it only managed a draw with a wisp of Earth Aura.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change; the gap between the two sides is already vast.
At this moment, Xu Yang pressed down with another seal, as the Thunder Fire Rebellion burst forth.
“Not good!”
Yuyao’s expression changed drastically; she quickly altered her formation, and the twenty-one Star Mirrors vanished into the air.
Yet she was a Spell Cultivator, with only tertiary level exposure to Array Formation, and having just advanced to the third tier. Her “Cycle of Heaven’s Starlight Array,” even when combined with Big Dipper Pivot, was still in Xu Yang’s presence…
An amateurish show, riddled with errors!
“Bang!!!”
A huge noise sounded, and the Thunderbolt Overturning Sky General struck upward, hitting one mirror squarely, shattering it to pieces.
“Ugh!!!”
The Star Mirror cracked, the Spiritual Treasure was damaged, and a Nascent Soul female cultivator trembled, blood spewing from her mouth, as her form appeared from the clouds.
It was Yuyao’s junior sister, one of the handlers of the twenty-one Star Treasure Mirrors.
The twenty-one Star Treasure Mirrors, with Yuyao and six others each controlling three, allowed them to maximize the power of this set of Middle Grade Spiritual Treasures.
Now, with one mirror broken, out of the three groups of seven, one was missing. The combined formation was incomplete, and its power immediately dropped by thirty percent.
Upon seeing this, Xu Yang did not hold back. Another wisp of Mysterious Yellow Earth Aura arose, forming another Rebellion Seal and bursting forth.
With the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor powered by Spirit Stones, as long as there are enough Spirit Stones, there’s no need to worry about mana depletion.
Having united Liang Country for ten years and established the Mana Money system, collecting the strength of Cultivators, Xu Yang’s resources might not be enormous, but they were more than enough to support a battle with a Mech Armor of tens of millions of artifacts level for several rounds.
The Thunderfire Seal rose, overturning the heavens, ready to shatter the remaining Star Mirrors.
But unexpectedly…
“Buzz!”
Within the Mysterious Yellow Qi, within the power of thick earth, the Tianshu Spirit Sword stirred, unleashing an unparalleled sharp edge.
