Free Web NovelChapter 197.2: Lesser Five Elements Annihilation in Action! (II)
On the flying boat, Dao Lord Qing Xuan's expression remained indifferent. The two Dao Lords beside him, however, were not as composed as him.
"How dare a mere Dao Foundation martial artist be so insolent!" freёwebnovel.com
"There is no need for Dao Lord Qing Xuan to act. We can kill you ourselves!"
The figures of the two Dao Lords blurred and appeared before Lu Changsheng and his group in an instant.
Buzz! Buzz!
A low hum sounded as they unleashed their enchanted treasures. One was a massive seal. As it expanded with the wind, it rapidly grew to several hundred, even a thousand zhang in size, towering above everyone like a mountain and radiating a crushing aura. The other was a formation of flying swords. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of flying swords, radiating razor-sharp aura, spread across the sky.
Both enchanted treasures were already terrifying on their own, but in this secret realm, they were even more powerful than usual.
Witnessing this scene, the Martial Saint, the Martial Lords, and those from Tai Cang Sacred Land were all left dumbfounded.
"What kind of techniques are these?"
"Such horrifying power. It feels like the sky is about to collapse and the earth split apart."
"How powerful are these demon gods from the outer sky?"
"Even the residual shockwaves of their techniques could easily annihilate the entire Tai Cang Sacred Land, couldn't they?"
"Who can possibly stand against these demon gods?"
Many people of the Tai Cang Sacred Land fell into despair, and the Tai Cang Martial Saint was no exception. He had hoped to reap the benefits once both sides tore each other apart, but after seeing the techniques of these outer sky demon gods, that hope had vanished completely. These outer sky demon gods were far beyond what the natives of this realm could possibly deal with.
As the two Dao Lords attacked, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian's expressions darkened. They exchanged a glance, both clearly weighing whether they should act now, but that hesitation lasted only a moment.
They had known from the start that venturing into the secret realm carried many risks, and being forced to confront Dao Lords was one of those risks. More importantly, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian needed the Principle Divine Stone even more than Lu Changsheng did. If they backed down now, coming all the way here would have been meaningless. Besides, they were supreme Dao Foundation cultivators. Even if they were up against Dao Lord Qing Xuan, there was no reason to retreat without a fight.
Buzz... Buzz...
The next moment, they unleashed their Mind Spaces, directly enveloping the two Dao Lords.
"You have to get past us first!" Xia Chenfeng shouted defiantly.
"You thought we came here just for show?" Zhao Yujian added.
With that, Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian unleashed four Principles together, and four beams of light flickered frantically. The next moment, they unleashed their divine techniques, which clashed violently with the enchanted treasures, shaking the heavens as if the sky itself were being torn apart.
Vicious shockwaves swept outward in every direction, carrying a world-ending force. The people of Tai Cang Sacred Land all trembled uncontrollably. Although they were not part of the confrontation, their hearts were nonetheless gripped by fear.
Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, appeared indifferent to the shockwaves. His gaze remained fixed on Dao Lord Qing Xuan. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Dao Lord Qing Xuan looked slightly surprised. Among the three martial artists, he had expected Xia Chengfeng or Zhao Yujian to be the strongest. Both were renowned supreme Dao Foundation experts, while Lu Changsheng had only forged his Dao Foundation a little over a year ago.
As someone from the Great Sun Immortal Sect, Qing Xuan knew a little about Lu Changsheng, which was why Lu Changsheng's strength had caught his attention. For a martial artist who had entered the Dao Foundation realm less than two years ago to stand above Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian was far from ordinary.
He studied Lu Changsheng for a good while, then said, "Interesting. I thought Xia Chengfeng and Zhao Yujian brought you into the secret realm merely to broaden your horizons, but it looks like they're actually relying on you."
With that, Qing Xuan paused and narrowed his eyes.
"Still, you do not actually think you can stand against me, do you?"
"Ultimate Fiend Large Formation!"
Dao Lord Qing Xuan waved his hand, and formation flags flew out one after another, instantly sealing off the entire area.
"Not even a supreme Dao Foundation martial artist with four Principles could survive this!"
Indeed, this formation was incredibly powerful, even if it shattered, Lu Changsheng would still be trapped.
Unlike other secret realms, this large secret realm contained spiritual energy. As such, cultivators could cast spells and use formation flags without restriction. Moreover, the heaven and earth within the secret realm were weaker, which made the spells and formations of a Dao Lord even more powerful.
Dao Lord Qing Xuan did not even bother using an enchanted treasure. In his view, a formation was more than enough to deal with a Dao Foundation martial artist. In fact, it ought to be the most effective method, since martial artists knew nothing about formations.
Once trapped in a formation, they could only rely on brute force to break free. To do that, they had to possess strength several times greater than the formation itself.
If Dao Lord Qing Xuan's opponent had been another supreme Dao Lord skilled in formations, his Ultimate Fiend Large Formation might have been broken with ease—but Lu Changsheng was just a Dao Foundation martial artist. In Dao Lord Qing Xuan's eyes, Lu Changsheng was nothing but a brute. To him, using enchanted treasures against martial artists was a waste. One formation ought to be more than enough to bind and kill them.
Inside the formation, fiendish qi surged and rolled like a black tide. Wherever it passed, even a supreme Dao Foundation martial artist would lose control of their body, eroding and collapsing under its influence.
And yet, Lu Changsheng appeared completely unaffected.
Boom!
In the next moment, Lu Changsheng unleashed his Mind Space, and it came crashing down on Dao Lord Qing Xuan like a mountain.
Dao Lord Qing Xuan raised his head. "Huh, this pressure..."
The smile on his face gradually faded. He had seen the Mind Spaces of Dao Foundation martial artists before, but he had almost never seen a Mind Space that could exert such crushing pressure on its own. Even a Mind Space containing four Principles would not have been this dominant.
Then, as Dao Lord Qing Xuan saw what was inside Lu Changsheng's Mind Space, and his eyes widened.
Six beams of light flickered one after another, each one representing a Principle.
Six Principles! How is that possible? Dao Lord Qing Xuan's eyes widened. He had crossed paths with many supreme Dao Foundation martial artists. He had faced Dao Foundation martial artists with four Principles, and even a few with five. But a martial artist with six Principles was something else entirely. He had only heard rumors of such people and had never truly believed them.
Dao Lord Qing Xuan's calm composure quickly gave way to wariness. A martial artist who wielded six Principles could not be taken lightly. With that level of power, Lu Changsheng's Mind Space alone was enough to contend with his Ultimate Fiend Large Formation.
No matter how violently the fiendish qi surged, Lu Changsheng remained steady within his Mind Space. His six Principles guarded him from all sides, and the fiendish qi failed to break through them.
However, Lu Changsheng's six Principles alone could not shatter the Large Ultimate Fiend Formation either.
I have to use divine techniques, Lu Changsheng thought.
Divine Technique, Flame Current. With a single thought, Lu Changsheng unleashed his Perfection-level divine technique.
Flames erupted in an instant, blazing throughout his entire Mind Space. As the flames surged, they transformed into a force similar to lava, scorching everything in their path—including the Ultimate Fiend Large Formation
Crack! Crack!
Dao Lord Qing Xuan's large formation started breaking under the flames, and in the end, it collapsed completely.
"What? My Ultimate Fiend Large Formation was broken so easily?" Dao Lord Qing Xuan's expression shifted dramatically.
Dao Lord Qing Xuan was not surprised only because Lu Changsheng had six Principles or a powerful Mind Space. What truly shocked him was the compound divine technique Lu Changsheng had just used. That technique only contained three Principles, yet its power far exceeded what such a technique should have been capable of.
Dao Lord Qing Xuan narrowed his eyes, analyzing Flame Current. Could it be that he's pushed that divine technique to Perfection?
A supreme compound divine technique that had reached Perfection was on an entirely different level from one that had not. Since Lu Changsheng had cultivated Flame Current to Perfection, Dao Lord Qing Xuan knew he could no longer underestimate him. If he wanted to suppress Lu Changsheng, he would have to go all out.
"A divine technique that has reached Perfection and six Principles..." Dao Lord Qing Xuan frowned, his expression turning serious. "It seems like I have to take this seriously, Lu Changsheng!"
With that Dao Lord Qing Xuan unleashed his enchanted treasure.
