I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2373 - 1072: A Fierce Battle
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai sensed the weight bearing down on his frame; with his divine sense sweeping through, he quickly spotted the one behind the attack, and a trace of astonishment gleamed in his gaze.
At last, he's arrived.
All those years of shuttling by flight between Venus Valley and Dongling Immortal City had truly paid off, instead of just relying on teleportation.
His innate pure yang qi surged inside him, and the immortal robe he wore burst forth with scorching flames, morphing into vivid red fire dragons that hoisted him high in the air, defying the unceasing gravitational force rising from the ground beneath.
Meanwhile, Chen Mobai thrust his sword-finger at the barren peak, and in an instant, a bolt of violet lightning streaked across the clear heavens, forming a massive Purple Thunder Divine Sword that crashed down with booming power.
"Hmm!"
With a murmur of uncertainty, a murky yellow barrier abruptly materialized over the barren mountain, covering the whole summit.
The Purple Thunder Divine Sword plunged from above, smashing into the barrier and erupting in a deafening clash.
The ground trembled fiercely, cracking open into numerous rifts radiating from the barren mountain, while clouds of debris shot upward.
Perched on the peak, Su Taifeng detected Chen Mobai's fifth-tier sword intent and revealed a flicker of shock.
Though Mu Youyi had warned him that this Five Elements Sect Master was a peerless genius in sword cultivation, having grasped fifth-tier sword intent ages ago, differences existed even within the fifth tier.
Right before him, this Purple Brilliance Sword Intent had reached the top grade of the fifth tier.
Without the Mount Tai Seal—a magic artifact that could boost his spell power a bit—he might not have endured this strike.
"Su Wuming, you've held back until this moment to strike; that did surprise me."
Chen Mobai's voice echoed from overhead at that instant, along with a scorching wave of heat and dragon-like roars. Nine enormous flame dragons burst into view amid the swirling dust in front of Su Taifeng, lunging forward with fangs and talons extended.
Confronting yet another fifth-tier assault, Su Taifeng's face had settled into composure.
"Not bad, you've earned my full focus."
While saying this, the murky yellow glow surrounding Su Taifeng grew brighter, and the barren mountain under his feet stirred to life, shifting into the shapes of spirit beasts. The rocky surface warped as faint yellow talons burst out, grabbing the incoming nine flame dragons before squeezing tight.
A thunderous explosion rang out, and the nine flame dragons shattered like bursting fireworks, scattering into a shower of crimson embers. But hidden in that blaze, an orange-red gleam quietly gathered, slipping from Chen Mobai's sleeve and merging into the mix.
After shattering the Nine Fire Flame Dragons, eerie spiritual glow danced in Su Taifeng's dark green eyes, like a predator ready to pounce, as he extended his reach toward Chen Mobai hovering above.
In a flash, scores of earthen claws ripped through the sky, closing in on him to strike at his skull, throat, arms, legs, and key points.
Against these strikes, Chen Mobai stayed still, exhaling a burst of brilliant rainbow-hued qi.
The moment the earthen claws touched the Primordial True Qi, they crumbled worse than the Nine Flame Dragons, dissolving into ashen dust that shrouded the heavens in gloom.
At the same time, a chill of danger stirred in Su Taifeng's mind.
His inner fifth-tier true strength flowed, summoning a murky yellow light barrier from his form, which halted an orange-red gleam that had sneaked up to his throat unseen.
Grinding noises filled the air as his defense warped and even fractured, causing Su Taifeng's features to shift faintly.
He promptly ejected a golden Four Directions Seal. The Mount Tai Seal dropped down, just managing to reinforce the nearly breached barrier against the Primordial Yang Sword Evil.
"To think you've grasped two top-grade fifth-tier sword intents!"
Su Taifeng observed the Primordial Yang Sword Evil, repelled by the Mount Tai Seal, as it withdrew once more, vanishing into the sleeve of Chen Mobai's Pure Yang Immortal Robe, and inwardly expressed awe.
In the Tianhe Realm's sword cultivation path, regardless of one's exceptional talent, cultivators always focused solely on one intent at the start.
Only after reaching the pinnacle of their primary sword intent would they try forming additional ones to advance through realms.
Achieving that level marks the One Sword Breaks All Laws Divinity Transformation stage.
Su Taifeng could fathom Chen Mobai mastering fifth-tier sword intent, perhaps even touching One Sword Breaks All Laws.
Yet wielding two fifth-tier sword intents, both at the One Sword Breaks All Laws level, was something the proud Su Taifeng refused to believe.
"Your magic artifact isn't bad; it just preserved your life."
As Chen Mobai uttered this, he flicked his sleeve gently, dispersing the airborne dust and rock fragments in a moment.
He eyed the Mount Tai Seal clutched in Su Taifeng's grasp and gave a nod of approval.
This artifact's quality reached at least top-grade fifth-tier, and through his senses, it pulsed with a mighty Earth Element Great Dao essence.
"As Yi Yuan True Monarch's disciple, you're certainly impressive, but today you've met your match in me."
Even knowing he'd underestimated Chen Mobai, Su Taifeng wouldn't yield an inch in words.
While speaking, he resolved to go all out.
The Mount Tai Seal shimmered with spiritual radiance in his hand, and a fifth-tier civet power manifestation stepped out, positioning itself next to Su Taifeng.
As the civet power emerged, Chen Mobai's face turned grave all at once.
