Free Web NovelChapter 369: Chapter 327: Furious Sea, Urgent Thunder
At this moment, Lu Qian had already exhausted all his means.
The current transformations of the Five Elements Grand Array were bizarre and unpredictable, even Gu Nizhang couldn’t evade them and was trapped in place.
Weak Water Erosion Flow, Golden Lion Treasure Mirror imprisonment, Purple Smoke Vine weakening, Gui Water Divine Thunder attack.
Under the enhancement of the Five Elements Dao Pattern and the supply of a large number of Spirit Crystals, the intensity of these Triple Transformation attacks had been elevated to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.
Lu Qian was too familiar with Gu Nizhang’s combat power. Already at the Foundation Establishment Perfection, she was undoubtedly the top existence below the Golden Core. If he couldn’t catch her off guard at the beginning, there would be no chance of winning later.
Therefore, Lu Qian held nothing back.
Black lightning burst into thousands of threads, instantly engulfing Gu Nizhang!
But the next moment, a sharp screech resounded throughout the array!
Flames tinged with blue and white burst forth, and within a few feet, the ground’s stone tiles turned red and shattered.
A pale cyan three-legged crow rose into the sky, and the intense heat made Lu Qian’s breath stall.
The three-legged crow let out a long cry to the heavens, spreading its wings, evaporating the Weak Water, dispersing the Smoke Vine, shattering the Golden Light, and devouring the Divine Thunder completely!
As her cultivation rose, Gu Nizhang’s flames transformed from red to gold, then from gold to white, and now from white to cyan, their power far exceeding Lu Qian’s tolerance!
Lu Qian’s Divine Sense surged, with a wave of both hands, he simultaneously unleashed the Duo Chao Geng Metal Divine Sword and Ice Lotus Storm.
The Duo Chao Divine Sword flowed like a golden river, while the temperature in the Spiritual Mist plummeted, chilling to the bone, as dozens of ghostly blue ice lotuses coalesced and then exploded with a blast, raining down hailstones the size of heads upon Gu Nizhang.
Gu Nizhang remained unmoved, her pale cyan divine flames forming a three-legged crow that flapped its wings, melting all the hail into water. Then she inhaled deeply, the three-legged crow compressed inward, instantly transforming into a Cyan Flame Battle Armor enveloping Gu Nizhang.
With a flash of pale cyan Escape Light, Gu Nizhang charged into the Duo Chao Geng Metal Divine Sword!
She heavily slapped her palms forward, making an exaggerated clapping motion, with a loud crash, the pale cyan flames surged like a tidal wave, engulfing and melting the rushing Duo Chao, completely dissolving the Geng Metal Divine Sword in an instant.
Too strong!
For Gu Nizhang, at Foundation Establishment Perfection, bolstered by the "Golden Crow" Dao Pattern, able to withstand ten breaths in front of a Golden Core Master, these attacks had no effect.
They couldn’t even breach Gu Nizhang’s defense!
"At this level, you can’t win against me," Gu Nizhang said indifferently.
As she was about to charge forward, suddenly, as the fiery tidal wave extinguished, Lu Qian’s figure darted out like lightning, leaping upwards.
In Gu Nizhang’s line of sight, through the sparsely dispersing Heavenly Torrent Spiritual Mist after several rounds of attacks, another Lu Qian stood in the distance.
"Incarnation?"
Lu Qian, as an Array Cultivator, always strove to avoid direct confrontation, instead using various array transformations to hinder, trap, injure, and defeat foes, so this front-attacking one must be his Incarnation.
Without turning her head, Gu Nizhang launched a Cyan Flame Fire Feather at the airborne Lu Qian, then dashed toward the distant Lu Qian, the green light flashing, flames rising, all the stone slabs on the passing ground shattered.
Yet the Lu Qian she deemed as the Incarnation deeply inhaled mid-air, immobilized the Cyan Flame Fire Feather with the Golden Lion Treasure Mirror, while the black and white Spirit Flowers within his Dantian trembled, the Five Elements Dao Pattern spun at high speed, channeling out all the Spiritual Power.
At the same time, the Array Map he held glowed brilliantly.
Above the field, the water melted by Gu Nizhang surged up sharply, and along with the remaining Heavenly Torrent Spiritual Mist, was gathered into Lu Qian’s palm.
A rumbling wave sound echoed in the air!
Gu Nizhang abruptly turned her head, only to see Lu Qian clutching the surge of a fearsome tsunami, it wasn’t ordinary water, but the frigid, bone-chilling Gui Water.
In front of the towering Gui Water tidal wave several feet high, Lu Qian appeared exceedingly small, yet it was this small figure that seized an entire tidal sea, pounding heavily toward Gu Nizhang!
Is this the real body? What technique is this?
Gu Nizhang showed no fear, though she misjudged, granting Lu Qian time to execute this move, but as the Gui Water tidal wave crashingly descended, her body’s Cyan Flame Battle Armor shone brilliantly; she stood her ground, unleashing a palm strike.
The pale cyan flames also spun up a fiery cyclone several feet high, meeting the tidal wave in the air.
In the sky, there surged an icy Gui Water tide, while on the ground, blazed an incandescent cyan flame tide. All disciples present held their breath, eyes wide open, their hearts filled with boundless awe.
Only Wu Yan knew what this move was, clenching her fists in tension, her knuckles turning white.
The Sect Leader’s using this move, shouldn’t he be able to win?
Inside her Dantian, the Primordial Pearl Spirit scoffed unhappily, "So many unorthodox methods, and this rascal actually mastered it."
It’s fine from before, but the last two volumes of the "Supreme Primordial Spirit Sea-Suppressing Divine Skill" about Primordial Spirit and Void Refining can no longer be taught to him.
Only the two of them knew that Lu Qian’s move was not yet finished!
Just as the Gui Water tidal wave pressed down, Lu Qian’s Five Elements Dao Pattern activated to its maximum, all Spiritual Power poured into a single palm, and the ten Spirit Crystals on the Array Map were completely pulverized.
The towering Gui Water tidal wave instantly turned black, with a piercing thunderous booming almost bursting her eardrums.
Gu Nizhang widened her eyes in shock.
The towering Gui Water tides transformed into Gui Water Divine Thunder covering nearly half the arena!
With Lu Qian’s overturning palm, it struck heavily!
"Supreme Primordial Spirit Sea-Suppressing Divine Skill", Furious Sea Urgent Thunder Palm!
The Furious Sea Urgent Thunder, tides roared, thunder surged, monstrous waves, embodying heavenly might!
Rumble rumble rumble!
The Divine Thunder blanketed the Cyan Flame tide, instantly engulfing Gu Nizhang.
The ground shattered, the arena collapsed, the stands crumbled, half of the entire arena was destroyed.
This palm, vaguely possessed the might of the Golden Core!
Because the Furious Sea Urgent Thunder Palm, in the "Supreme Primordial Spirit Sea-Suppressing Profound Skill," was originally a technique only Golden Core Masters could practice.
With Master Cangfeng’s protection and temporary peace, Lu Qian began converting to the unfathomably powerful "Profound Skill," fully transitioning from his original "Hidden Cloud Scripture."
Two thousand years ago, Jichuan Profound Monarch suppressed Cangzhou with this skill, undefeated, even considering the iteration and upgrade of cultivation techniques, it was supreme Divine Skill, far better than his own "Hidden Cloud Scripture."
In four and a half years, he completely transitioned his entire cultivation to the "Profound Skill" path. After experiencing it firsthand, he could further attest to its marvelous essence.
Though Lu Qian lacked a Void Spiritual Root and couldn’t use many Secret Techniques, the "Profound Skill" already showed many extraordinary aspects, the greatest of which was the vast, tidal surge of Spiritual Power.
Suppressing the Sea, the suppression was of the Dantian Qi Sea.
It absorbed Spiritual Power, exhaled and inhaled it, and accumulated far more than average cultivation techniques. Coupled with Lu Qian’s naturally outstanding Five-Inch Spiritual Root, it was indeed a perfect match.
Originally, if he cultivated "Hidden Cloud Scripture," with his talent with Dual Spiritual Roots, Lu Qian would need nine to ten years to advance from Early-Stage Foundation Establishment to Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment. But over the past few years, under the "Profound Skill" enhancement, aided by Danxia Sect’s Spirit Pills, supported by the Third-Level Spiritual Vein, Lu Qian felt he could reach Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment within two more years.
Though this Furious Sea Urgent Thunder Palm was originally a Golden Core Stage move, it could be freely used without any external aid.
While normally it would be impossible for Lu Qian to learn, he meticulously studied the essence and secrets of the Urgent Thunder Palm and found many corresponding aspects with his Gui Water Divine Thunder.
Thus, he painstakingly researched for years, and eventually, using his Divine Sense, Spiritual Power as the guide, aided with array transformations, Dao Pattern augmentations, and Spirit Crystal power supply, he consolidated all his means into this palm.
Though its mighty power may not match the original version, it wasn’t far off. It truly possessed a hint of the Golden Core’s might.
With such a palm, exhausting all Spiritual Power and Divine Sense, Lu Qian collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Amidst the dizziness, he struggled to lift his head, looking towards Gu Nizhang’s direction.
A flash of firelight.
