The Two Battle, Laozi Comes to Intervene
Then, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi manipulated the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens to reinforce the remaining four layers of protective shields.
"Hahaha, alright, I'll show you my strength, and then you'll obediently admit defeat."
Seeing the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi so enraged by him, the Cult Master Tongtian laughed loudly and said...
Then, the Cult Master Tongtian changed his Law Seals once again, infusing the spinning Purple Lightning Hammer with new power.
The Purple Lightning Hammer continued to manipulate the countless lightning snakes in the sky to wear down the protective shield of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens, creating an opportunity for itself to break through the shield.
Then, the sixth layer of Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens's protective shield began to be worn down little by little. After a stalemate, it was suddenly shattered by the Purple Lightning Hammer.
"Cult Master Tongtian, this guy is too shameless. He uses lightning to wear down my Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens protective shield, while his Purple Hammer is looking for an opportunity to shatter it in one fell swoop."
"However, I could only watch helplessly as I continued to channel my Law Power into the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens to maintain the remaining protective shield. But this was simply not enough. With the balance shifting, my shield would inevitably be broken by his Purple Lightning Hammer first."
"No, I have to think of something."
After the six-layered protective shield of the area was shattered by the Purple Lightning Hammer of the Cult Master Tongtian, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi began to panic and tried to find a way to salvage the potential defeat.
However, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. In just a few breaths, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had already filtered through tens of thousands of solutions in his mind, but he had eliminated them one by one. He was not sure about the last method that remained. It seemed foolish to talk about it, but he had no choice. It was the most conservative method.
Perhaps some of you have already guessed it. Yes, the method is to drag it out and see who can't hold on any longer and exhausts their Law Power first.
Although six of the nine protective layers he had created using the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens had been destroyed by the attack of the Cult Master Tongtian's Purple Lightning Hammer, leaving only three layers, these three layers were the essence of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens protective layer. Their sturdiness was no less than the previous six layers, and perhaps even greater.
The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi firmly believed that the Cult Master Tongtian's ability to break through the first six layers of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens must have required a tremendous expenditure of his Law Power, and that the amount of Law Power expended was certainly comparable to that expended by himself.
Therefore, if the competition continues, the person with the stronger Law Power will definitely stand until the end and win.
However, there is a great deal of uncertainty, because he does not know whether the Cult Master Tongtian's Law Power greater or his own.
Therefore, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi wanted to take a gamble. He desperately needed this victory. In order to mend the rift in his Dao heart, he had to win.
"Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, I find this way of fighting, where we slowly transfer Law Power to our Law Treasure to determine a winner, to be far too boring."
"So I plan that we both channel all our remaining Law Power into our respective Law Treasure and let them clash fiercely. Then we'll see whether your Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens can withstand my Purple Lightning Hammer, or whether my Purple Lightning Hammer will break through your Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens first."
The Cult Master Tongtian also found this slow, grinding method of defeating his opponent somewhat boring.
He then presented the method he had described—a single move to determine the outcome—to the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
"Okay, let's do it this way. I think continuing like this, dragging things out, will just make us both seem really boring."
The suggestion from the Cult Master Tongtian delighted the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi. If he were to compete with the Cult Master Tongtian to see who had the greater Law Power, he would have no idea. But now the Cult Master Tongtian Leader had taken the initiative to propose a decisive battle.
Because in terms of explosive power, he was second to none. The request made by the Cult Master Tongtian was exactly what he wanted.
Although the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was very happy, he forcibly suppressed his joy and agreed with a very calm attitude.
Then, the Cult Master Tongtian manipulated the Purple Lightning Hammer to stop attacking the protective shield of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens, and spun towards the world in the sky that resembled a sea of thunder.
Once the Purple Lightning Hammer entered, it began to recklessly absorb the surrounding lightning power. The Cult Master Tongtian changed a Law Seals, infusing the Purple Lightning Hammer with his own power, making it absorb the lightning power at an extremely fast speed.
Then a vortex filled with lightning appeared in the sky, and the Purple Lightning Hammer was right at the center of the vortex. It turned out that the Purple Lightning Hammer absorbed the power of lightning too quickly, causing a vortex-like object to form around it.
However, because the Purple Lightning Hammer absorbed the power of lightning so quickly, its size increased two or three times, and the Purple Lightning Hammer light around it became even more dazzling and radiant, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Auspicious Origin of the Heavens was not to be outdone. He made his remaining three layers of protective light shield even more solid, as if they were about to solidify into a tangible form.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was not idle either. He used his Law Power to form Law Seals and inscribe a defensive array pattern on each of the three protective shields, greatly enhancing their defensive capabilities.
"Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, take my blow! Purple Lightning Hammer! Go, smash his tortoise shell!"
At this moment, the boundless sea of lightning in the sky had been completely drained of its energy by the Purple Lightning Hammer, and the sunlight had also dispersed the clouds that had lost their thunderous power.
In contrast, the Purple Lightning Hammer's size did not increase; instead, it shrank by nearly half. However, the lightning power it carried was more abundant and concentrated, as if it had become solid and compatible with the Purple Lightning Hammer.
As the Cult Master Tongtian gave the order, the Purple Lightning Hammer rose from the air and charged towards the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
"Bring it on, and I'll show you just how sturdy my Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens are."
At this moment, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was fully prepared and showed no fear of the Cult Master Tongtian's attack with the Purple Lightning Hammer.
At this moment, Grand Pure One Laozi was rushing on his way and had arrived at a place not far from them. However, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly dissipated. He looked up and just happened to see the scene of Cult Master Tongtian pushing the Purple Lightning Hammer to unleash a killing move. After that, he began to search for the figure of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens to prepare for defense.
"If we really let the Cult Master Tongtian and the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi continue fighting like this, they'll either die or be seriously injured. It's not worth it, not worth it at all."
"We must hurry over there now and stop them both with all our might."
As he spoke of Grand Pure One, Laozi activated all his Law Power and rushed towards the place where the two were fighting at his fastest speed.
When Grand Pure One Laozi arrived at the battlefield between Cult Master Tongtian and Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, before he could persuade them to stop, their Law Treasure collided with a deafening roar.
Did I win?
The moment the two Law Treasure collided, both the Cult Master Tongtian and the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had the same thought in their minds.
