Imperial Cultivation Chapter 1544 - 1540: Fierce Battle

"Did you really chase it away?" The Elephant Beast still couldn’t believe it.

In its eyes, Chu Zhiyuan was far inferior to that Golden-winged White Eagle, a huge gap.

In front of the Golden-winged White Eagle, all one could do was run for their life.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "Its speed is fast, but not as troublesome as the Little Cyan Bird, at least it can’t break through the void to pursue."

"Its speed is much faster than the bird!"

"The bird is faster than it."

"No, the bird is slower."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed, "Then perhaps this Golden Eagle isn’t that strong."

"Was it really you who repelled it?"

"Even if it comes, you can always come into my territory."

"...Alright, then let’s go to Dragon Mountain." The Elephant Beast hesitated a moment and nodded.

At crucial moments, one can indeed directly enter Chu Zhiyuan’s space.

As long as Chu Zhiyuan can escape, I will be unharmed.

As far as it knows, although Chu Zhiyuan seems adventurous, he is actually afraid of death.

...

Dragon Mountain

Chu Zhiyuan buried his head, transporting mudstone and Dragon Trees, enjoying it nonetheless.

With each piece of mudstone transported, each Dragon Tree, the Jade Sea and Sky gained a bit more vitality, Heaven and Earth became more solid.

The Spiritual Energy within this Grotto Heaven far surpassed the abundance and purity of other worlds.

Even the Outer Heaven, it pales in comparison.

He originally decided to go to all thirty-two heavens, transporting mountains, rivers.

Now he discovers that transporting them is far less effective than this Grotto Heaven.

The Elephant Beast stood outside the Dragon Mountain range, back against the great river, its pupils forming two golden lines, surveying all directions.

The tail stood upright, the jet-black tail tip high above its head.

It remained alert, refusing to relax even for a moment.

Chu Zhiyuan buried his head in digging mudstone and Dragon Trees, simultaneously using Insight to observe everywhere.

The Elephant Beast suddenly swung its tail, the jet-black tail tip drew an arc.

The next moment, Chu Zhiyuan appeared beside it, making it disappear while he vanished simultaneously.

The next moment, several cracks appeared in the void of where they just were.

Then a little green bird appeared.

It screeched unwillingly several times, densely packed cracks appeared in the surrounding void.

Chu Zhiyuan appeared at a mountaintop, several cracks followed and emerged in the void around him.

He vanished, reappearing the next moment on another mountaintop, then onto another one.

In one breath, he moved and appeared on five mountain peaks, the cracks dissipated.

He returned to the front of the Elephant Beast’s cave, letting out a long breath of turbid air, shaking his head.

The Elephant Beast appeared on his left shoulder, its tail swaying with residual images.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed in its mind, "Looks like it’s targeting us."

"Scary as hell!" The Elephant Beast vigorously swung its tail.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled, "Actually, it’s not that scary."

The Elephant Beast seemed to roll its eyes, its tail slowly stopped swinging.

"Seems like we need to change locations, how about going to another Dragon Mountain?"

"Why don’t we not go to Dragon Mountain? Can’t we go somewhere else?"

"The effect elsewhere is not as good."

"But it’s better than something so risky!"

"Actually, even if facing it directly, it may not be that fearful."

"Do you have a way?"

"My Cloud Dragon Fist should be effective," Chu Zhiyuan said, "I just haven’t dared to try it."

"If it doesn’t work, you’ll die directly, can’t block its attack."

"That’s why I didn’t dare to try." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Otherwise, should we give it a try?"

Thinking of this, he became eager.

"Don’t find death!"

"I must remove this stumbling block." Chu Zhiyuan’s thoughts were firm.

Considering this, he chuckled, "You stay back first, I’ll go on my own."

"If you don’t come back for me, that means you died?"

"Yes."

"You really want to court death?"

"Not that dangerous, it just looks scary."

"...I can’t convince you, if you want to die then go try."

The Elephant Beast snorted, transforming into a white light shooting into the Cave Mansion.

Chu Zhiyuan appeared next in the Dragon Mountain Realm, outside the pit he created.

The current pit had expanded to a hundred-meter range.

For the entire Dragon Mountain Range, it was just a drop in the ocean, insignificant.

As soon as Chu Zhiyuan appeared, several cracks had already enveloped him.

He was already prepared, a White Dragon emerged from outside his body, instantly transforming into a genuine True Dragon, the patterns on each scale detailed and clear.

The dense scales formed a breathtaking impact.

The dragon silently roared, facing the several cracks, then became as ethereal as a shadow.

As the cracks surged once more, it gradually became obscure, and finally disappeared entirely into the void.

Then, another White Dragon appeared, standing in front of the smiling Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan felt reassured.

It indeed looked intimidating, but he was actually capable of withstanding it.

This was discovered through dealing with the Golden-winged White Eagle.

The Elephant Beast had always claimed that the Golden-winged White Eagle was far more formidable than the Cyan Bird.

He believed the Elephant Beast wasn’t lying; the Golden-winged White Eagle was indeed stronger.

If he could drive back the Golden-winged White Eagle, why couldn’t he handle the Cyan Bird?

The terrifying aspect of the Cyan Bird was its ability to tear open the void, a capability the Golden-winged White Eagle did not possess.

In terms of pure attack and defense, the Golden-winged White Eagle should be stronger.

Inferring from this, he could withstand the attack power of the Cyan Bird.

Indeed, the Cloud Dragon Fist, having progressed, could indeed hold off this attack.

The Cyan Bird shrieked in the distance.

A dense array of cracks completely engulfed Chu Zhiyuan.

A White Dragon appeared in front of him, followed by a second, and a third.

Until the fifth White Dragon, he finally couldn’t produce any more.

Manifesting five White Dragons simultaneously was the current limit of his Cloud Dragon Fist realm.

He speculated that this should be the fifth level of the Cloud Dragon Fist.

He still didn’t know how many levels the Cloud Dragon Fist had.

As it stood, five dragons were not quite enough.

One dragon at each of the cardinal points, and one above, five dragons guarding him, blocking the multitude of cracks.

He stood in the pit, grinning at the furious Cyan Bird.

The next moment, his smile froze slightly.

Another two Cyan Birds appeared.

And then another two followed.

Five Cyan Birds formed a pentagram shape in the sky.

Chu Zhiyuan’s complexion changed slightly, releasing five phantom figures from his sleeve towards the Cyan Birds.

The Cyan Birds flickered.

Solid turning to void.

The flying knives veered in mid-air, aiming at them again.

They flickered once more.

This time, the flying knives flickered as well, like diving into clear spring water.

Illusion against illusion.

"Screech!"

"Screech!"

...

They screamed and vanished, with several pieces of green feathers floating down from the air.

The flying knives twisted in the air, capturing the scattered feathers and bringing them back to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan caught the dozen or so feathers and looked at them with curiosity.

The feathers felt heavy in hand, as if cast in iron.

Yet, in the air, they drifted as if weightless.

This contradictory disparity broke conventional understanding, defying common logic.

As he weighed them, the Super Sensing Illumination sought to see clearly, inside and out.

A peculiar force enveloped the feathers, blocking the Super Sensing’s insight.

He injected Divine Essence.

The feathers suddenly lost their weight, and as more Divine Essence was injected, they began to gradually disappear.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression changed slightly.

The next moment, he flickered and teleported to the other side of the pit, a hundred meters away.

The location where he was originally standing suddenly erupted with countless dense cracks.

It seemed as though they were about to shred that area of the void into fragments.

The next moment, Chu Zhiyuan teleported again.

The countless dense cracks engulfed his previous position.

He teleported again.

And the countless dense cracks relentlessly pursued him.

Chu Zhiyuan felt that these cracks, rather than dissipating with his teleportation, grew even denser.

Their power was also increasing.

As he realized this, the Cyan Bird’s attack had already arrived, evading it completely was futile.

The five White Dragons surrounding him had dimmed to near shadows, on the verge of dissipating.

The attacks from the five Cyan Birds were so dense that the White Dragons not collapsing instantly was already an extreme feat of strength.

His expression turned somber.

These little creatures held grudges; they needed to be completely subdued.

With their odd ability to tear the void, even if captured within his domain, they might still escape.

He would have to subdue them completely!

With that thought, ten phantom figures shot out from his sleeve, silently aimed toward the distance.

In the distance, that stretch of void, seemingly empty, harbored five Cyan Birds.
