An All-Out Battle! An Endless Stream of Techniques!
The jade talisman shattered, and before the aftershocks had even dissipated, a beam of emerald light exploded in the northern sky, shooting upwards and dyeing half the sky a sickly green.
Deep within the Marsh Plains, Spirit Vein spanning tens of millions of miles resonated and hummed simultaneously, unleashing a Life Dao force far more powerful than that of the Bi Luo, which surged towards the waters like a tsunami.
Another Late Spirit Transformation!
Shi Jian retracted his thunder spear, retreated, and purple-gold light surged within his vertical thunder pupils.
His Divine Sense locked onto the newly arrived aura. It Late Spirit Transformation, with all three foundations manifesting simultaneously. He was also cultivating Immortal Foundation below the Fate-Wielding Dao Fruit.
They share the same origin and cultivation as Bi Luo, but Biluo is more experienced and composed.
The Spirit Race had indeed concealed a hidden plan.
Intelligence reports indicate that three to five Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation are stationed in the Spirit Marsh Plains, but this second Late Spirit Transformation has never appeared in any previous intelligence reports.
Shi Jian sighed slightly. The Spirit Race had been managing this place for two hundred years, so it wasn't surprising that they had hidden a spy there.
After retreating back to the cloud wall, Bi Luo's expression grew even colder. The ferocity of Shi Jian's spears had clearly exceeded his expectations.
Now that reinforcements have arrived, he is no longer in a hurry to engage in prolonged combat.
A figure slowly emerged from within the emerald green pillar of light.
It was an old man of the Spirit Race, his body covered with vine patterns like the rings of a withered tree, his face gaunt, and his blue eyes radiating spiritual light.
The aura of Life Dao emanating from its entire body was three times stronger than that of the Bi Luo.
Upon seeing his opponent arrive, Cang Wuji moved accordingly.
The giant bear's body suddenly materialized on the water's surface, its massive size of 30,000 zhang creating a thousand-zhang wave; Cang Wuji Barbarian Bone Dao surged with Daoist energy, and the overwhelming power of the Late Spirit Transformation crushed down, causing the surrounding million-mile-wide marshland to vibrate incessantly.
In his right palm, a giant, jet-black axe had already appeared.
The axe was over ten thousand feet long, with Barbarian Bone Dao, Daoist aura flowing like water at the blade. White bone patterns extended from the handle to the edge of the blade, exuding an extremely heavy and murderous intent.
Dao Artifact: Bone-Splitting Axe.
Forged by the Barbarian Bone Dao Venerable in his early years, this axe was bestowed upon the powerful members of the Giant Bear Clan as a clan treasure. The fact that Cang Wuji could wield this axe demonstrates how highly the Ancestor Egu regarded him.
"I've been waiting for you for ages." Cang Wuji grinned at the newly arrived Late Spirit Transformation, his smile filled with chilling killing intent.
The giant axe cleaved horizontally, its Barbarian Bone Dao aura carrying immense force; wherever the axe blade passed, the void shattered inch by inch!
The Spirit Race's Nascent Spirit Transformation's expression darkened, and he unleashed both palms simultaneously, causing dark green vines to surge forth from his palms, transforming into a sky-covering vine shield.
Boom!
The axe blade struck the vine shield, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
The vine shield cracked open in dozens of places, Life Dao force frantically tried to repair it; however, the Barbarian Bone Dao was specifically designed to suppress life force, and wherever the axe blade touched, the vines withered and broke inch by inch, making it impossible to repair.
The Spirit Race 'Spirit Transformation was swept back tens of thousands of miles by this axe blow, and the water beneath his feet was cleaved into a bottomless ravine by the axe's wind.
Cang Wuji strode to catch up, unleashing three consecutive blows with his Bone-Splitting Axe, each strike carrying the heavy, crushing force of Barbarian Bone Dao energy.
The Spirit Race Spirit Transformation was forced to retreat repeatedly, his vine shield shattering and regenerating repeatedly; the clash between the two Late Spirit Transformation turned the northern part of the entire waterway into a battlefield of carnage.
As the aftershocks reached, several Nascent Spirit Race Nascent Soul from the Spirit Clan who were nearby were so badly injured that they bled from all seven Barbarian Bone Dao before they could even dodge.
Cang Wuji entangled the newcomer.
Shi Jian focused his mind on Bi Luo, Bi Luo face was now even colder, clearly annoyed that Cang Wuji had intercepted the reinforcements.
In Bi Luo's palm, the aura of Life Dao surged several times over, and the emerald light solidified, enveloping Chao Shi Jian from head to toe, intending to suppress and annihilate him!
Shi Jian did not retreat; instead, he suddenly flipped his right hand.
A jade-colored thumb ring suddenly lit up at the fingertip, emanating Space Dao aura.
Xu Yan Ring.
The Dao Artifact that Shi Xiao brought back from that Spirit Transformation, after being initially refined by Shi Jian using the Spirit Transformation, could now barely activate the spatial power within it.
Although it is far inferior to the power of that senior who was at the peak of the Four-Foundation Perfection in life, it is still an extremely useful trump card for Shi Jian.
On the thumb ring, pale white spatial patterns flowed like a galaxy.
Shi Jian poured his spiritual power into the ring, and the void in front of his palm suddenly distorted.
The Bi Luo green light curtain under Biluo suddenly deflected when it was a hundred feet away from Shi Jian; the light curtain was clearly pressing down from the front, but under the pull of spatial distortion, it was forced to turn a corner.
It gushed to the side, crashing into the marshland thousands of miles away, blasting a crater thousands of feet deep.
The Bi Luo and the emerald eyes narrowed slightly.
The power of space!
This Lightning Bear actually possesses techniques from the Space Dao, and its rank is not low!
Shi Jian didn't give the other party time to think.
With his left hand Hand Seals, he simultaneously activated the two immortal foundations of Purple Pivot Lightning and Purple Firmament Lightning Immortal Foundation, causing the thunder spear to rapidly form in his palm; with his right hand slightly turning the thumb ring, the space in front of his palm twisted again, forming an extremely narrow spatial rift.
The lightning spear was hurled and disappeared into the crevice.
The next instant, tens of thousands of miles behind Bi Luo, a rift suddenly tore open in the void, and a lightning spear shot out from it, aiming straight for Bi Luo's heart.
Bi Luo reacted extremely quickly, and the vine armor on her back instantly thickened several layers, infusing it with the aura of the Life Dao.
The lightning spear pierced through the rattan armor, its tip sinking into the shallow layer before being abruptly blocked. The purple-gold lightning arcs exploded wildly within the rattan armor, but ultimately failed to penetrate it.
But what Shi Jian wanted was this very moment.
Bi Luo was forced to distract herself to protect her back, leaving her vulnerable from the front.
The massive bear, thirty thousand feet tall, crashed down, its purplish-blue Lightning-Manifested Arm raised high, with countless arcs of lightning converging on its fist.
The nascent form of the Righteous Yang Lightning was forcibly activated at this moment. Its righteous and blazing aura intertwined and merged with the two Immortal Foundation of Purple Pivot and Purple Firmament, and a scorching white light burst forth from its fist.
A punch landed.
Bi Luo crossed her palms in front of her, and the three Daoist auras of her Fate Wielding Immortal Foundation surged simultaneously, condensing into a wall of light with emerald radiance.
The force of the punch struck the light barrier, and the thunderous sound was like ten thousand drums beating in unison!
Bi Luo was slammed into the marsh, and a towering column of water shot into the sky; the light barrier shattered, turning into a sky full of green light.
Bi Luo's arms trembled violently, and bright green blood seeped from the split wound between his thumb and forefinger.
Late Spirit Transformation was actually defeated head-on by Middle Spirit Transformation, leaving him in such a sorry state.
Bi Luo burst out of the water, her green eyes blazing with murderous intent, and let out a fierce shout.
How dare you insult me!
The aura Life Dao from his body suddenly changed; it was no longer as gentle and dense as before, but had become cold Decay.
The Immortal Foundation beneath the Fate-Wielding Dao Fruit" is subject to birth and death, nurturing and decay; Bi Luo is activating is precisely the most insidious aspect of the Daoist principle of "Master of Fate Dao."
The emerald green vines burst forth once more, but this time they were no longer emerald green; instead, they were a dark purple, decaying color. A viscous liquid seeped from the vines, and when it touched the marsh water, it corroded the surface of the water, turning it black.
The power of decay!
Shi Jian's body erupted with lightning arcs, and the purple-gold light kept the corrupting vines dozens of feet away.
However, the corrosive power was extremely penetrating, and several thin vines pierced through the gaps in the lightning arcs, instantly wrapping around his left arm.
Wherever it touched, the pale fur withered and turned black rapidly, and the flesh Decay at a visible speed, decaying completely!
Shi Jian grunted, and with a Lightning-Manifested Arm, he tore off the few rotten vines, but the corrosion on his left arm continued to spread.
The Purple Pivot Lightning Dao Aura rapidly poured into his left arm, crushing the corrupting vital energy with the power of thunder.
The wound was charred black and bleeding profusely, but it had finally stopped.
Bi Luo sneered and struck out with both palms repeatedly. Corrupted vines emerged like ten thousand pythons, then lashed out from all directions to strangle him.
Shi Jian retreated continuously until he reached the area covered by the mysterious light emanating from a warship.
"Volley!"
At a command, the warship behind her unleashed a blinding beam of light, which swept across Bi Luo's front, burning a large area of decaying vines to ashes.
Bi Luo had to divert some of her Daoist energy to protect herself, causing her attack to falter.
Seizing this opportunity, Shi Jian turned the ring on his right hand again.
This time, instead of tearing open a spatial rift, he used the power of the Space Dao to forcibly create a region of spatial stagnation around Bi Luo.
Within a radius of a thousand feet, the space suddenly became as viscous as mud.
Bi Luo paused, her movements noticeably slowing down by half a beat.
Half a beat is enough.
Shi Jian took a step forward, Lightning-Manifested Arm condensed into a second lightning spear; this spear was thicker than any before, with the Daoist essence of three Immortal Foundation simultaneously flowing into its body, intertwining purple-gold and scorching white.
The spear flashes like a dragon!
Bi Luo desperately activated the Daoist energy of Fate Dao palm, breaking free from the stagnation and dodging to the side to avoid a fatal blow, but the spear tip still pierced through his shoulder.
The purple-gold lightning arc exploded in the wound, splattering emerald green blood. Bi Luo couldn't help but groan, her face turning slightly pale.
Instead of pressing his advantage, Shi Jian retreated.
He could clearly see that the wound on Bi Luo's shoulder was healing at an extremely rapid pace, nourished by the Life Dao force.
Although the remnants of the lightning arc are hindering the repair, cultivators at the Fate-Wielding Dao Fruit are inherently the most difficult beings to kill in the Nine Realms.
Injury is easy, but killing is extremely difficult.
Shi Jian took a deep breath, and arcs of lightning surged across his body.
In their previous encounters, he had figured out Bi Luo's style; Immortal Foundation's Fate Wielding was both offensive and defensive, her Corruption Power was insidious and difficult to defend against, and her recovery ability far surpassed that of others of the same level; however, Bi Luo's weaknesses were also obvious.
That means they are not fast, not physically strong, and far inferior to the Demon Cultivator of the Beast Realm in close combat.
He possesses the Xu Yan Ring, a spatial technique capable of breaking through Bi Luo's vine formation and creating a brief period of spatial stagnation; his Dao of Lightning attacks are fierce, and combined with the firepower support of the warships, although he cannot kill Bi Luo, he can keep her firmly pinned down here, preventing her from supporting other battlefields.
Shi Jian's lips curled up slightly; he was getting more and more comfortable with the fight.
The three Immortal Foundation Dao rhythms within his body circulated ceaselessly, constantly refining themselves with each round of combat; the weightiness of the Purple Pivot Lightning served as the foundation, the condensation of the Purple Firmament Lightning as the edge, and the blazing intensity of the Righteous Yang Lightning as the catalyst.
The three Daoist principles collided, merged, and collided again in actual combat. Under such high pressure, the nascent third Immortal Foundation, which had not yet fully formed, seemed to be accelerating its solidification.
Bi Luo's shoulder injury had healed, and a hint of seriousness flashed in her green eyes.
This Thunder Bear's combat strength was even more troublesome than he had anticipated; it was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who could actually fight him head-on, and it also wielded a cosmic artifact, making its spatial techniques impossible to defend against.
What made him even more wary was that the aura of this Lightning Bear was actually getting stronger during the battle, which was truly terrifying!
Bi Luo looked up and gazed into the distance.
The clash between Cang Wuji and that Spirit Race, Late Spirit Transformation, was even more terrifying; each swing of the Bone-Splitting Axe cleaved the marshland for millions of miles.
The Barbarian Bone Dao aura suppressed vitality, and the late-stage Nascent Spirit Race Late Spirit Transformation was already at a disadvantage, with countless defensive measures destroyed.
In the other two battlefields, Yuan Chong, Lang Xin, and Lei Ming, working together, managed to entangle two mid-stage Nascent Spirit Race Middle Spirit Transformation, putting up a formidable fight.
At the Nascent Soul level, the combined mystic light from the bone warships was incredibly powerful, causing the Spirit Race to lose more than half of their Nascent Spirit Race Nascent Soul and their offensive to falter.
The tide of battle is turning in favor of the Beast Realm.
Bi Luo withdrew her gaze, her expression turning extremely somber.
Shi Jian stood atop the ten-thousand-foot-deep water, his Lightning-Manifested Arm, gripping the newly formed lightning spear, his purple-gold vertical pupils gleaming.
"Shall we continue?"
"Shi hasn't had enough fun yet!"
Bi Luo did not answer, and the Daoist aura Fate Dao him surged once more.
A radiance interwoven with emerald green and dark purple enveloped his entire being; while deeper within the Marsh Plains, an even more immense aura of Life Dao force was slowly gathering along the underwater Spirit Vein.
