Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

In the early stages of the great battle at North Abyss Lake, the four great experts of the Solitary Eagle Khanate had a clear advantage.

Jiang Yu and Zhang Zhen were besieged, facing perilous situations, leaving them powerless to assist others.

Cultivators of the Pure Yang Palace excelled in Life Skill, with powerful Golden Core external defenses, faring slightly better.

The people from Weiyang Mansion suffered significant casualties.

Fortunately, Lei Jun arrived in time; otherwise, everyone was at risk of being completely annihilated.

Now, with Mi Han, Zhuo Le, and others eliminated, the people of Solitary Eagle Khanate who charged with them immediately fell into disarray.

Except for the wounded who were left behind, the other Great Tang cultivators began to follow Lei Jun and Xiao Han in pursuit of those foreign tribe experts.

Xiao Hang looked at Lei Jun, hesitating to speak.

Lei Jun: "Does Master Xiao have something to say?"

Xiao Hang: "I was a step late just now, and only from afar did I witness the Celestial Master engaging in close combat with the foreign tribe’s heavy cavalry general... Is the Celestial Master unscathed?"

Martial experts are known for their explosive power and concentrated destructive force.

Taking the route of heavy cavalry, martial experts in Riding and Controlling Martial Arts, empowered by ferocious exotic beasts like the Yellow Dragon Whistlewind Beast, take this to the extreme.

To a certain extent, they even forsake the speed and agility that allow martial arts experts to dominate the world, in exchange for an attack power even stronger than that of Body Refinement Martial Arts experts and Weapon Strike Martial Arts experts.

On average, they essentially represent the strongest single-point attack of cultivators at the same realm.

Lei Jun, without dodging or evading, exchanged a direct attack with Mi Han of the Eightfold Heaven Complete realm, a dangerous move that left onlookers with their hearts pounding.

Xiao Hang naturally understood that Taoist Talisman Sect cultivators had the method of internal universes of Divine Court Intermediate Scene applied to themselves for defensive capabilities.

But to take Mi Han’s full-force strike head-on without dodging, let alone the Taoist Talisman Sect cultivators, even the Taoist Dan Ding Sect cultivators would find it challenging.

"Thank you, Master Xiao, for your concern. This poor Taoist is unharmed."

As Lei Jun spoke, a nine-colored radiance flashed over his body:

"Firstly, the situation of Daoist Jiang from the Pure Yang Palace and Prince Weiyang was urgent. Secondly, to act beyond the enemy’s expectations, this poor Taoist took a risky move, fortunate to have the protection of a sect treasure; otherwise, I would not dare to be so presumptuous."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hang felt relieved: "I have long heard of the reputation of the Celestial Master Robe, and today I am fortunate to witness its splendor. It was a blessing that the Celestial Master arrived in time to turn the tide; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I feel truly ashamed."

Lei Jun: "You are too modest, Master Xiao."

To ensure safety, after formally entering the Northern Desert to participate in the battle, Lei Jun secretly sent a message back to his own ancestral courtyard of the Sect.

Yuan Mobai immediately transmitted the Celestial Master Robe to Lei Jun through the Altar of Wanfa Sect.

Lei Jun secretly received the Celestial Master Robe through the Celestial Master Seal but did not announce it, mainly as a precaution.

During the recent fight against the Solitary Eagle Khanate’s experts, the Celestial Master Robe was ready to activate but ultimately was not used.

Lei Jun relied on his dual Divine Court Cosmos for defense, enduring Mi Han’s strike.

Riding and Controlling Martial Arts experts following the heavy cavalry route indeed have formidable attack power.

But if it were a Body Refinement Martial Arts expert of the same Eightfold Heaven Complete realm, Lei Jun would have felt even more pressure. To endure without dodging might have required the Celestial Master Robe or Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat for assistance in defense.

However, Mi Han, as well as Zhuo Le, who cultivated in Weapon Strike Martial Arts, their attacks, though extraordinarily fierce, allowed Lei Jun to make use of the Primordial Magnet Force he had secretly accumulated within his body.

Facing these opponents who relied on divine weapons, the internal accumulation of ample Primordial Magnet Force equaled adding a third layer of defense on top of Lei Jun’s dual Divine Court Cosmos defense foundation.

In a certain sense, this was a type of defensive approach that Celestial Master Lei excelled at.

It’s just that the mana consumption was tremendous.

Not only in terms of defense.

In the previous battle, Lei Jun pushed his cultivation in Corporeal Life Mastery to the limit, in terms of offense, defense, and speed.

If not, with his ability, it would have been difficult to match the teleportation speed and attack-defense rhythm of the three Eightfold Heaven Martial Path experts.

Though those brutes moved almost as if teleporting, constantly changing positions.

Even Mi Han, who sacrificed some flexibility and speed for frontal impact and destructive power, had speed that average cultivators outside of martial arts couldn’t reach.

As for Mu Dujie and Zhuo Le, who cultivated in Body Refinement and Weapon Strike paths, there was no need to say more.

Lei Jun needed to expend a lot of mana to ensure he wasn’t disadvantaged in movement.

The intense consumption allowed him to empathize with the martial arts cultivators’ reputation for being strong in bursts but average in endurance.

Such intense bursts are difficult for anyone to sustain over a long period.

In terms of offense, Lei Jun frequently maintained Four Great Dharmas, with Yin Yang Twin Thunder Dragons continuously combining with his Corporeal Life Mastery attacks, along with Dragon-Tiger Strike, allowing him to quickly heavily damage the martial arts experts of the Solitary Eagle Khanate.

This, however, resulted in equally intense mana consumption for Lei Jun himself.

Fortunately, his foundation was deep, with profound Taoist Laws, and he possessed the Dual Polarity Immortal Body, resulting in a rapid mana recovery rate.

As long as it wasn’t a short, intense battle, under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t take long for Lei Jun’s mana to be fully restored.

However, from an outsider’s perspective, his current mana aura still seemed somewhat weak and low.

This left Xiao Hang with lingering concern, not daring to completely relax.

However, it wasn’t suitable for him to inquire further, so in the subsequent clearance of the remaining forces of the Solitary Eagle Khanate, he put in extra effort in hopes of securing more recovery time for Celestial Master Lei.

At present, Lei Jun’s focus was indeed not on those people.

He was trying to contact Shangguan Yunbo and others.

The messages had both good and bad news.
