Chapter 296 - 293: Terrifying Collision
When he saw the jade-green glow envelop Shen Changchuan, radiating an aura brimming with Vitality, the white-robed youth knew in his heart that ordinary methods would not be enough to defeat this man.
It was true that he possessed an Innate Earth Spirit Body.
But the person opposite him...
...had also condensed a Wood Spirit Body when ascending to Soul Emergence!
Between Spirit Bodies,
there is no inherent superiority or inferiority.
He couldn’t defeat Shen Changchuan before, and even after activating his Spirit Body, he still wouldn’t be able to win—not when facing an opponent who had also condensed a Spirit Body.
In that brief moment,
a multitude of thoughts flashed through the white-robed youth’s mind.
And so,
after Shen Changchuan blocked yet another one of his attacks,
he unleashed his greatest trump card—his Innate Divine Technique!
An Innate Divine Technique,
is a Divine Technique that can only be unleashed after one has condensed a Divine Seed!
His Innate Spiritual Body had greatly reduced the difficulty of practicing corresponding Magical Divine Techniques, allowing him to cultivate an earth-elemental Divine Technique to the level of Perfection.
Moreover,
when he ascended to the Soul Emergence Realm, his Innate Spiritual Body meant he didn’t need to use the enlightened state of Celestial-Human Communication to condense a Spirit Body. Instead, he could focus all of his time on condensing a Divine Seed,
and thus succeeded in forming one!
On the path of Cultivation,
the advantages of an Innate Spiritual Body over an ordinary Cultivator were simply immense.
’I refuse to believe you could also condense a Divine Seed and possess an Innate Divine Technique!’
He had thought this would be a mere formality, an opponent he might, at best, have to give a second glance.
Instead, he found himself forced to use nearly every trick up his sleeve and still couldn’t secure a victory.
This felt like a sharp slap to the face for the white-robed youth,
and a deep sense of irritation welled up inside him.
’I’m the invincible one!’
Without further hesitation,
he brought out his ultimate hidden technique, intending to end the battle in a single blow!
BOOM!!!
An utterly terrifying aura erupted, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble at that very moment!
An overwhelming, earthy-yellow light surged forth.
In the plaza,
a spectral image resembling a clay statue of an Earth God rose up, covering more than half the plaza and exuding an incomparably intimidating might!
It was the kind of feeling,
as if a single glance was enough,
to completely suppress and scatter any will to resist!
However,
just as the white-robed youth unleashed his Divine Technique,
and summoned the enormous spectral clay deity,
on the opposite side,
an equally powerful ripple of qi
also began to spread!
"An Innate Divine Technique? What a coincidence. I have one, too!"
Shen Changchuan’s hands formed a series of seals for a Technique.
In an instant,
strands of azure light appeared in the surrounding void. Each strand was as sharp as Sword Intent, slicing through the void and covering an area dozens of yards wide!
Immediately after,
a faint, jade-green light bloomed,
like ripples on water,
saturating the space.
The entire area was enveloped in the jade-green light!
Three jade-green longswords, each eighty to ninety feet tall, materialized with an earth-shattering presence,
forming the trinity of Heaven, Earth, and Man!
The three brilliant longswords hovered in the void, unleashing an overwhelming Sword Momentum.
Under the shroud of this Sword Momentum, Time and space themselves seemed to freeze!
An utterly terrifying Sword Momentum surged forth,
facing off against the massive, mountain-like spectral clay deity on the other side.
The two terrifying auras of the Divine Techniques radiated outwards,
making it seem as if two great suns were vying for dominance over the plaza!
As the auras clashed,
the air itself warped over a large area.
The heart-pounding pressure even suppressed the violent gales from before, plunging everything into a dead silence!
All eyes in the vicinity were fixed on the scene,
waiting in horror for the terrifying, earth-shattering collision to come!
On the high platform,
Wu Zhen and Master Wandering Dragon shot to their feet at almost the same time.
Master Wandering Dragon waved a hand,
erecting a defensive barrier of light around the plaza to prevent the shockwaves of the impending collision from harming the onlookers.
At the same time, his Heart Spirit tensed,
ready to intervene at a moment’s notice.
The very next moment after Master Wandering Dragon finished his preparations,
the clash of the two Innate Divine Techniques began!
The white-robed youth moved first.
His majestic, mountain-sized spectral clay deity instantly erupted with a domineering, earthy-yellow light.
Bathed in the boundless radiance, an imperial aura that lorded over all living things surged forth, flooding an area hundreds of yards wide. A divine majesty, like that of a Celestial Emperor, descended upon the mortal world!
The spectral deity slowly opened its sky-blotting, earthy-yellow hand and brought it crashing down upon Shen Changchuan from high above!
The earthy-yellow light filled the sky.
Within the once-empty space, layer upon layer of restraints suddenly materialized.
It became difficult to even breathe; every breath felt like a gift!
But at almost the exact same moment,
the three longswords that seemed to pierce heaven and earth erupted with an incomparably brilliant azure light. They carried a boundless, ethereal, and transcendent Sword Momentum as they soared into the sky,
and shot head-on toward the massive hand that descended from above, which seemed capable of suppressing all creation!
BANG!!!
The instant they made contact,
heaven and earth fell silent for a moment!
The collision of such terrifying power generated an energy so frighteningly immense that it annihilated sound itself!
Then, in the very next instant,
RUMBLE!!!
A world-shaking roar exploded outwards.
The plaza floor, originally durable enough to withstand a full-force blow from a Cultivator in the Soul Emergence Early and Middle Stage, instantly collapsed, forming a massive crater dozens of yards across!
A web of cracks spread out rapidly.
But what was even more terrifying was that,
amidst the blinding flash of light, a terrifying wave of energy, like a tidal wave in the ocean, swept madly in all directions, threatening to annihilate everything in its path!
The terrifying impact
also caused the very ground to shake violently!
A nearby mountain was even torn asunder by the violent upheaval!
Under the eruption of such horrifying power,
an area hundreds of yards across was transformed into a forbidden zone of death!
If Master Wandering Dragon hadn’t set up the light barrier around the plaza beforehand to block the residual energy shockwaves,
it’s doubtful any of the Outer Disciples watching from the sidelines would have survived!
The entire Dragon Cloud Sect would have suffered grievous losses!
At this moment,
under the impact of the destructive energy from the clash of Innate Divine Techniques, even the light barrier began to flicker violently, looking as if it would shatter in the next breath!
However, it was clear,
there was no need to worry about the barrier Master Wandering Dragon had casually erected being torn apart.
Because in the instant the two Innate Divine Techniques staged their heaven-shaking collision,
Wu Zhen and Master Wandering Dragon suddenly vanished from the high platform.
