Heavenly Prodigy Assembly (8)

After the Foundation Establishment Early Stage battle ended, only three hours later, the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage battle began.

Of the five members of the Yang Household who participated in the Heavenly Prodigy Assembly, only Yang Huangge was at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. However, this time, he represented the Sun-Moon Empire and the Longchang Academy.

Golden light filled the sky, illuminating the heavens for miles around. Within the Formation barrier, which resembled a giant golden honeycomb, numerous Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators from the Three Great Realms engaged in an extremely fierce battle.

Whoosh!!

A whooshing sound rang out, the sharp whistling of the arrow like the earth-shattering cry of a divine eagle, piercing through gold and splitting stone. Enveloped in black light, it almost ignored the space of dozens of feet, arriving in an instant, leaving a black hole the thickness of an index finger on the ground in the distance.

Thump!!

A huge, Ochre Python lay on the ground, its eyes still wide open, devoid of any shrewdness. This wasn't because it was calm enough, but because it simply hadn't had time to react before the arrow pierced its skull.

Yang Huangge, dressed in a scholar's robe and holding Black Longbow, slowly walked up to the python.

He first raised his hand and retrieved the Black Iron Arrow that had sunk deep into the ground.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he collected the enormous Mountain Python's corpse.

Then, she slowly and deliberately stepped out of the Formation barrier. Every move she made exuded a jade-like elegance, causing many female cultivators watching to have their eyes light up and their expressions to be filled with admiration.

"Uncle Huangge, want a drink?" Yang Lingjian with a smile, holding Wine Gourd.

Yang Huangge nodded slightly, took the Wine Gourd, tilted his head back, and a clear stream of wine slid down his throat.

"Good wine!" Yang Huangge exclaimed, tossing the Wine Gourd back and chuckling.

"That's naturally good wine. It's from an old tavern in Purple Moon City that's been open for nearly two hundred years. The quality is absolutely top-notch!" Yang Lingjian gave a thumbs up and chuckled.

The two chatted, and time passed by little by little.

Not long after, the first round of the competition ended. Yang Huangge and went back to the arena to continue his battle.

In the ensuing battles, very few cultivators could withstand even a single arrow from Yang Huangge.

The Heartforce School is notoriously extreme; they do not cultivate Divine Ability or Technique Method, but only cultivate a well-rounded and transparent mind, from which mental Heartforce is born.

Then, with the Heartforce Void the mind, one can control the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth and all things in the world, thereby unleashing extremely powerful strength.

Without intermediaries, cultivators using the Heartforce Flow technique can act extremely quickly.

When speed reaches its limit, the resulting offensive capabilities are naturally terrifying.

Yang Huangge's all-out arrow was powerful enough to pierce through Third Tier Law Treasure; if the timing was right, even Golden Core Cultivator would be severely injured.

Of course, as a price to pay, after firing his strongest arrow, he would Heartforce, completely lose his fighting ability, and fall into a coma.

Even so, for someone at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer realm to unleash a strike that pierced through Third Tier Law Treasure and severely injured Golden Core Cultivator is still incredibly terrifying.

However, despite the power of Heartforce, very few people are able to cultivate it.

In the entire Lu Wu Realm, there are no more than ten cultivators who rely on Heartforce power, far fewer than the number of Heavenly Mechanist.

Even the Confucian Sage Wang Ting of the past couldn't solve this problem.

Of his eighteen disciples, only three were true cultivators of the Heartforce Stream.

The other fifteen were proper Confucian Dao cultivators, who were to honestly and diligently cultivate step by step from the Qi Refining Realm.

Instead of jumping directly from Mortal to the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer like Yang Huangge, which is simply unreasonable.

In the Cultivation World, the scarcity of inherited skills is often associated with power.

Yang Huangge lived up to his identity as a cultivator of Heartforce, overcoming all obstacles to successfully advance to the top eight.

This greatly pleased Longchang Academy Master and Yang Tianyou, who were watching the battle from inside the Black-Gold Palace in the sky.

Soon, the battle for the top four began.

Yang Huangge's opponent was a cultivator from the War Demon Sect in the Nine Phoenix Realm, Eastern King Continent.

This man was named Mo Kui. He was nine feet tall, wielding a long spear and wearing heavy black armor that covered his entire body, including his face. Only his two dark eyes, filled with a demonic aura of fighting against heaven and earth, were fixed on Yang Huangge opposite him.

"Battle begins!"

Golden characters appeared in the sky, then suddenly shattered.

Whoosh!!

Yang Huangge still raised his hand and shot an arrow.

The Black Iron Arrow was incredibly fast, giving Mo Kui no time to react before piercing his skull. His highly defensive mask seemed as if it were made of paper.

However, Yang Huangge showed no joy at achieving such a victory, because Mo Kui, whose head had been pierced, seemed completely unaffected and strode towards him.

This bizarre situation startled Yang Huangge, who frowned and whispered, "This is the War Demon Sect's 'Indestructible War Demon Scripture'?"

As the second most powerful force in the Eastern King Continent after the Eastern King Sect, the strength of the War Demon Sect is beyond doubt. Its sect's supreme Cultivation Method, the "Indestructible War Demon Scripture," emphasizes using Indestructible Battle Will as a guide to repeatedly refine the body, ultimately achieving a state of rebirth from a drop of blood and immortality.

However, such a powerful physique usually only appears in the Late Stages of cultivation. Mo Kui is only in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, yet he was shot through the head without any effect. Isn't that terrifying?

"No, this is definitely not because of the 'Indestructible War Demon Scripture,' there must be another reason!" Yang Huangge pondered as he fired another Black Iron Arrow.

This time, he aimed for Mo Kui's heart.

Pfft!!

The terrifying offensive power of the Heartforce Flow was once again on display. The Black Iron Arrow streaked across the sky, leaving a dark trail after being enveloped in exceptionally sharp Gang Qi, before piercing Mo Kui's heart directly.

But it still had no effect!

Mo Kui, seemingly unaffected, attacked with his spear, covering dozens of feet in a few strides, and in an instant, he was already in front of Yang Huangge.

The nearly two-zhang-long Banded Iron Long Spear crashed down with a deafening roar, the air wailing and groaning as it was directly pulverized by the immense force.

A violent surge of Spiritual Qi swept outwards from the spear, like a raging torrent rising from the surface of the Eastern Sea.

Thump!!

A figure flew backward; it was Yang Huangge.

He crossed his arms, and a thin, translucent shield, as thin as a cicada's wing, firmly protected him inside.

From the outside, it looked as if Yang Huangge was covered with a layer of soap bubble.

However, this seemingly foamy protective shield completely blocked Mo Kui's full-force attack without showing any signs of damage.

This astonished the many cultivators watching, who were all discussing what kind of Law Artifact it was, that it possessed such power!

This barrier is certainly not Law Artifact, but rather Heartforce Barrier created by Yang Huangge using his Heartforce combined with Law Power.

This is one of the strongest inheritances of the Heartforce Flow. It may seem like an inconspicuous barrier, but it contains extremely profound principles and has extremely strong defensive power.

Before Yang Huangge's Heartforce is exhausted, attacks below the Third Tier are almost impossible to break through this barrier; this is the prestige of Heartforce energy-based cultivator.

Why Longchang Academy Master so at ease allowing Yang Huangge, who had almost no combat experience, to participate in the exceptionally brutal Heavenly Prodigy Assembly?

There's no other reason than that this old man knew all too well how troublesome cultivators who relied on Heartforce were.

Once you master the Heartforce Barrier, you can both attack and defend.

Even if you can't defeat your opponent, you'll still be able to escape unscathed.
