Chapter 295 - 292: Divine Techniques vs. Divine Techniques
A faint white light swirled in Shen Changchuan’s eyes.
Through his Perfection Level True Seeing Eyes,
he clearly saw the trajectory of his opponent’s attack.
He also keenly perceived his opponent’s weakness in terms of Body Technique and speed.
No,
it wasn’t exactly a weakness.
In fact,
his opponent wasn’t slow at all.
The problem was,
Shen Changchuan had mastered several Perfection Level Body Techniques!
’Looks like he’s just like me, having only recently ascended to Soul Emergence and not yet having had the time to practice Tier Two Magic...’
’And during the Qi Introduction Realm, he didn’t spend much time on the Cultivation of Body Techniques.’
’That’s normal. If it weren’t for the progress bar panel that lets me track my progress and grants Traits upon Perfection, I wouldn’t have spent so much time cultivating Magic in the Qi Introduction Realm, either.’
In an instant,
these thoughts flashed through Shen Changchuan’s mind like lightning.
Even as he was thinking,
his movements didn’t slow in the slightest.
Just as the fist that tore through the air came crashing down before his eyes,
ZAP!
Shen Changchuan transformed into a flash of lightning, leaving a silver afterimage in mid-air as he shifted through space, directly dodging the white-robed youth’s punch.
At the same time,
Shen Changchuan extended his palm toward the white-robed youth.
He splayed his fingers in the air,
and rotated them.
Five beams of sword light began to spin rapidly, forming a terrifying spinning wheel that hurtled toward the white-robed youth!
The spinning sword beams rapidly expanded in mid-air. In the space of a breath, each beam grew from the size of a finger to several meters long, tearing through the air with a sharp whistle!
As the fivefold sword light converged,
the white-robed youth was caught in the middle. His own attack had just missed, his old power spent and new power yet to be generated. He felt an inescapable sense of doom!
The white-robed youth’s figure froze.
In mid-air, he clenched his fist. Immense Magical Power gathered there, paused for a moment, and then was violently unleashed!
"Han Mountain!"
Halfway through its trajectory, the Power in the punch multiplied explosively.
Layer upon layer of Magical Power compressed and condensed, seeming to possess the true might to shatter mountains!
Before countless shocked gazes,
that fist brutally smashed toward the five spinning sword beams!
BOOM!
A deep collision sound erupted suddenly.
The great plaza shook violently.
A shockwave of Magical Power, visible to the naked eye, swept out in all directions, kicking up a terrifying storm!
The five sword beams were shattered by the single blow, exploding into a chaotic surge of Magical Power Energy.
But at this moment, there wasn’t the slightest hint of joy on the white-robed youth’s face.
Instead, his expression was grave.
Although they had only exchanged a few moves in the span of a breath,
he could already clearly sense how troublesome Shen Changchuan was!
’I originally thought he was just some charlatan who’d bought his fame, but I never imagined he’d have this kind of strength!’
’The world is vast and full of emerging talents. Master truly wasn’t deceiving me!’
’But today, I will be the one to win!’
Although Shen Changchuan’s strength exceeded the white-robed youth’s expectations,
the latter was still full of confidence!
An advantage in a few Tier One Body Techniques wasn’t enough to decide the overall outcome.
Of course,
he also knew that ordinary methods would no longer work on Shen Changchuan.
"I never thought you’d hidden your abilities so deeply. You are indeed qualified to be my opponent."
"But this is still far from enough to defeat me!"
The moment his voice fell,
BOOM!
An immense wave of Magical Power suddenly erupted from his body,
unleashing a tyrannical torrent of Magical Power that swept across the area!
At the same time,
a faint yellow light began to glow from the white-robed youth’s body.
It was a crystalline halo that emanated from within him, giving off a sense of weight as heavy as a great mountain!
It was the Earth Spirit Body!
Facing Shen Changchuan, who had also mastered a battle presence and whose Body Technique speed was superior to his own,
the white-robed youth completely unleashed the power of his innate Earth Spirit Body!
"Again!"
The white-robed youth’s gaze was fixed firmly on Shen Changchuan.
His hands formed a Technique seal,
and in an instant,
an invisible wave swept across the entire plaza!
At almost the same moment,
BOOM!!!
Shen Changchuan felt an immense force pressing down on his shoulders.
His body, which had been hovering in mid-air, was involuntarily forced down to the ground!
It was the Gravity Technique!
Although this Magic was only Tier One,
his opponent, relying on the amplification his Earth Spirit Body provided to Earth Magic, had not only cultivated it to Perfection but had also drastically increased its power!
As a result, under the effect of the Magic Technique,
Shen Changchuan couldn’t even fly into the air!
Before Shen Changchuan had much time to think,
BOOM!
Dozens of meters away,
the white-robed youth’s figure transformed into a streak of earthy-yellow lightning, crossing the space in an instant to appear before Shen Changchuan!
Another fist came crashing down from mid-air!
And this time,
his opponent’s Earth Spirit Body erupted with its full power, adding more than double the might to the punch!
Shen Changchuan looked up.
He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him!
Huge swaths of air were compressed and collapsed!
Such a terrifyingly powerful blow... forget a Soul Emergence First Layer Cultivator, even a Cultivator at the Soul Emergence Third Layer or higher might not be able to withstand it head-on!
But there was clearly no fear on Shen Changchuan’s face.
"Bring it on!"
Shen Changchuan let out a low shout, and an immense aura brimming with Vitality swept out like a torrent.
A faint, emerald-green fluorescent light began to emanate from his body!
The Wood Spirit Body!
When ascending to the Soul Emergence Realm, Shen Changchuan had successfully condensed the Wood Spirit Body. He had done so during the breakthrough process, thanks to the Tier Two Spirit Tree Heart gifted by his master, Master Wandering Dragon!
But it wasn’t over.
Cyan Wood Sword Light!
Shen Changchuan formed a sword with his fingers and slashed out. A brilliant, emerald sword beam, as radiant as a river of stars, surged forth to meet the white-robed youth’s heavy, mountain-like fist!
This Magic had been one of Shen Changchuan’s trump cards in the Qi Introduction Realm, making him invincible among his peers.
Now that he had ascended to the Soul Emergence Realm, he had also cultivated the Technique’s Advanced Skill—the Divine Skill Sanqing Forest Sword Array—to Perfection. Aided by the enhancement from his Wood Spirit Body for Wood Element Magic,
the power of his Cyan Wood Sword Light,
was now in no way inferior to a Tier Two Magic!
RUMBLE!!!
As a dazzling light flared, a world-shaking, tremendous roar exploded!
At the center of the collision between the two terrifying attacks, vast swaths of air collapsed and tore apart, emitting a piercing shriek!
The entire plaza began to vibrate violently at this moment!
The gusting winds howled, and the surrounding trees bent over. Some of the more fragile ones snapped with a CRACK.
The dust and smoke kicked up by the impact billowed out,
forcing the crowd of spectating Disciples to cover their faces and retreat once more.
But it wasn’t over!
In that same instant,
two auras, so terrifying they made space itself tremble in fear, suddenly emanated from within the dust-shrouded plaza.
On the high platform,
both Wu Zhen and Master Wandering Dragon
felt their Heart Spirits instantly tense up.
Those two opposing, terrifying powers...
...were Divine Techniques!
