Chapter 717: Chapter 223: Divine Skills in Command_2
Xiang Yue snorted coldly, “If you want me to take action, then exchange it with the Elephant Vein Fertility Pill.”
Lord Long nodded, “Since the Elephant King has spoken, it shall be fulfilled. Elephant King, as the leader of the contemporary clan, you truly train hard for the proliferation and livelihood of the clan.”
“Too much nonsense.” Only then did Xiang Yue slowly rise.
As he stood up, a massive shadow was immediately cast on the ground. His towering and muscular build stood like a segment of city wall, imposing a visual pressure just by standing there.
At this moment, on the battlefield.
“Damn it!” Demon Heart Cave Master’s heart pounded like a drum, demonic qi surged around him, transforming into a rainbow bridge.
The rainbow bridge carried the Demon Heart Cave Master, narrowly escaping the lethal golden flame.
But hundreds of red needles followed closely, about to pierce the Demon Heart Cave Master.
“Father!”
In a moment of crisis, Lin You disregarded the rules and directly released a mechanical carriage.
The red flying needles struck the carriage, sparking and emitting crisp sounds of metal collision, all being intercepted successfully.
Even Shuang Ling, busy as she was, turned her head to glance at the mechanical carriage.
Then, she shifted her gaze elsewhere.
The red needles penetrated a Nascent Soul cultivator, golden flames ran rampant, burning another strong cultivator of the Thousand Peak Forest to death.
The morale of the Thousand Peak Forest alliance army plummeted, and many people’s eyes twitched uncontrollably.
On the side of Liangzhu Country, waves of cheers erupted, their morale visibly skyrocketing.
Sun Ning and his companion saw this, both falling silent.
Up to now, Shuang Ling had already slain four Nascent Soul level cultivators, her attacks resolute and ruthless.
“If we don’t curb the Mechanical Princess soon, the Thousand Peak Forest’s side might collapse due to this battlefield,” Sun Lingtong said.
Ning Zhuo realized something, “It seems that among the Nascent Soul level experts, only divine skills can control the situation.”
He couldn’t help but think of Zhu Xuanji.
Even after witnessing many Nascent Soul level battles in the war of Liangzhu Country, Ning Zhuo had broadened his horizons, but looking back, he still thought Zhu Xuanji was outstanding.
The latter, with just Golden Core cultivation, already possessed several divine skills, defying logic.
If he reached the Nascent Soul level, what would it be like!
“Obviously, once Zhu Xuanji’s cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul level, he will surely become the façade of the Southern Bean Country, much like Shuang Ling before us.”
At that moment, three Nascent Soul cultivators simultaneously entered the battlefield to face Shuang Ling!
“Shuang Ling, don’t be arrogant.” Tu Ming growled lowly, immediately displaying his divine skills.
Divine Skill——Ten Thousand Snake Poison Flow.
A fierce wind rose suddenly, and dark clouds overlapped.
Poisonous rain fell, growing from a trickle to a downpour.
The rainwater, filled with venom, gathered together to form pitch-black long snakes.
Countless poisonous snakes gathered into an army, taking shape in mid-air and falling onto various mechanical artifacts, entangling and corroding them.
Divine Skill——Crane Cry Nine Marshes!
Demon cultivator Bai Ling raised his head and howled, emitting a violent sonic wave, causing any cultivator who heard it to have their mana rebel, blood qi boil, and Divine Sea shook!
Divine Skill——Snow Fang Sky Splitting Slash!
The contemporary Elephant King Xiang Yue swung his palm leisurely, his hand acting as a knife, seemingly slow but actually fast, slashing out a blade of energy.
Shuang Ling’s mechanical front line immediately suffered intense destruction!
The poisonous snakes corroded large swathes of mechanical artifacts, causing them to disintegrate.
Under the crane’s cry, many mechanical artifacts’ talismans exploded, array patterns disordered, various parts sparking.
Meanwhile, Xiang Yue’s blade of energy expanded to an exaggerated extent within a few breaths after its release.
The enormous blade of energy descended overwhelmingly, dismantling everything in its path, splitting numerous mechanical artifacts from front to back in half.
Shuang Ling’s front line became unstable, forcing her to retract the divine skill Golden Fire Purifying Wheel and operate various mechanical artifacts to engage with the enemies.
This time, facing three True Monarchs, she seemed very strained, no longer having her previous composure and imposing stance.
“The contemporary Elephant King Xiang Yue, is he the one who eradicated the Golden Halberd Army?” Sun Ning and his companion both wore grave expressions.
Having participated in the invasion war, they were shocked at the Golden Halberd Army being utterly annihilated, and thus the name Xiang Yue was etched in their minds.
Now, witnessing Xiang Yue’s action firsthand, they immediately judged the demonic cultivator to be extremely ferocious and sought to avoid conflict where possible.
“Tu Ming and Bai Ling attacking Shuang Ling together is hard enough for her to withstand,” Sun Lingtong said in a solemn voice.
This obvious truth was not difficult to discern.
Tu Ming and Bai Ling’s two divine skills alone left Shuang Ling struggling to cope.
Let alone Xiang Yue.
Fortunately, after his initial strike, Xiang Yue stood with his arms crossed, arrogantly watching without making another move.
This sight made Lord Long frown and Lu Hongtu couldn’t help but transmit thoughts via Divine Sense, urging, “Elephant King, if you fight passively, the Elephant Vein Fertility Pill promised after the battle might be…”
Xiang Yue snorted coldly, “I disdain ganging up with others to attack a weak female cultivator. It was already generous of me to take action.”
“As for the Elephant Vein Fertility Pill, I don’t think Lord Long would dare to default on my account!”
Xiang Yue carried the pride of a strong man, watching the battle with his arms crossed after his first strike.
However, his one strike had directly demolished the mechanical front line, causing the most damage to the mechanical artifacts.
Though Shuang Ling promptly replenished new mechanisms, the quality somewhat lacked, leading to a dip in her combat power, putting her in a stalemate against multiple opponents.
“I didn’t expect the Mechanical Techniques cultivated to perfection would exhibit such terrifying combat power. Indeed, every branch of the Cultivation Hundred Skills is profound and extensive.”
“Hmph, consider how much resources she has consumed. Without the support of an entire country, how could she unleash such power alone?”
“At least we’ve contained her.”
The soldiers of the Thousand Peak Forest alliance army sighed quietly in relief seeing the situation on the battlefield.
Previously, Shuang Ling’s immense strength weighed heavily upon them.
In the Liangzhu Country camp, Zhao Xi wore a stern face, filled with worry and regret, “If I hadn’t pursued the Twin Ghosts of Heaven and Earth earlier, we wouldn’t be in such a passive position now!”
He instinctively glanced back at the depths of the camp, where Du Tiechuan’s retreat was located.
Zhao Xi quickly refocused, observing the battlefield and praying silently.
“Princess, you must hold on.”
Currently, the only one he could rely on was the strong Shuang Ling.
As both armies’ high-level cultivators were engaged in deadly combat, a change was taking place at Qiu Teng Peak.
Gao Cuo, disguised, gazed at the peak from a distance.
This Heavenly Pillar Giant Tree Mountain had its body spirally ascending, twelve cascades of Green Vine Waterfall hanging down one after another, exterior peculiar.
The mountain was populated with numerous trees, but it was the vines that were more abundant, seen everywhere.
The twelve Green Vine Waterfalls distributed on the mountain were the most concentrated places of the vines. Based on the cliff’s height differences, these vines extended fundamentally, vividly green and brimming with life.
Midway through the “waterfalls,” the green turned to yellow, vitality mostly dissipated.
Finally, at the foothill, the vines were all withered and shriveled, numerous rotting vines and leaves piled together, forming a swamp.
Over the swamp, patches of glowing fungal mats floated. Inside the swamp, countless fireflies resided.
From time to time, a gruesome green flame would rise from the swamp, filled with death.
“Vines entwine the heroes’ bones, ghost fire illuminates the dream of immortality. This is Bi Tengyi’s place of cultivation.”
“According to rumors, the Wane and Flourish Green Phosphorus Curse she cultivated was derived from comprehending these Green Vine Waterfalls.”
Gao Cuo sighed inwardly.
The elder sword spirit’s voice echoed in his mind, “These waterfalls formed by green vines do hold remarkable secrets. From life to death, containing the mysteries of nature.”
“But now is not the time to study it.”
“Bi Tengyi has already perished, leaving only her Nascent Soul.”
“This is her main base. After her Nascent Soul traversed the void, it’s highly possible she returned here, utilizing the setup here to reconstruct a body.”
“This is our perfect opportunity to strike!”
Gao Cuo nodded slightly, “Indeed.”
With fortuitous encounters and the sword elder’s company, his path of cultivation was never lonely, and he plotted deeply.
Long ago, he heard that Qiu Teng Peak housed two treasures representing life and death, the Green Seed Vine and Firefly Burial Gauze, respectively.
