Chapter 305: True Several Thousand Hands

This was the first time Jiang Li had used the Earth Command Flag, but the effect was quite good.

Jiang Li’s talent in array formations was originally excellent. Coupled with his Earth Spirit Body, he found the largest earth vein node in this region in a short period of time.

Then, relying on the characteristics of the Earth Command Flag, he used it as the core and set up a trapping array that borrowed the power of heaven and earth in a short period of time.

This kind of array formation that used heaven and earth as the foundation should have required time, place, and people to complement each other.

He had to find a terrain that had an initial array formation.

Then, he had to spend years or even decades to investigate all the earth veins in this area.

In the end, the earth attribute cultivators and array masters would work together to repair the terrain bit by bit and bury the array formation foundation with the power of heaven and earth.

The time spent on the entire set was an astronomical figure. Only some powerful forces could operate it.

For example, in the Great Mountain Region, only the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak and the Great Mountain Alliance headquarters, the Misty Mountain Range, had such an array formation.

A natural miracle that innately possessed the initial form of an array formation was too difficult to come by.

The difficulty of molding the earth vein was enough to persuade most sects to retreat.

However, when it came to Jiang Li, the situation was not absolute.

He could use the naked eye to directly observe the earth vein and directly change the Earth Spirit Body of the earth vein. Coupled with the Earth Command Flag personally given by the Human Emperor, the combination of the two was equivalent to a land spirit that had been conferred a title by the Human Emperor. The effect was not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Jiang Li controlled the mountains and rivers in a short period of time, establishing a Heaven and Earth array formation.

In his hands, this was an action that went against the common knowledge of array masters.

It was as simple as using spirit stones to set up a Spirit Gathering Array.

Ming Duowei of the Dragon Transformation Island would never have thought that someone could do such a thing.

Naturally, he stepped into Jiang Li’s trap without any preparations.

He was completely trapped inside and could not even send a message out.

Jiang Li had found it at the last minute. The earth veins in the surrounding mountains were actually not very good. The flow of the earth vein power was relatively limited.

It was already not bad that the trapping array formation formed could trap a Nascent Soul cultivator for two weeks.

If it continued for a long time, the other party would probably be able to damage the earth vein by destroying the terrain. When the earth vein was damaged to a certain extent, the trap formation would naturally collapse by itself.

However, Jiang Li, who was also in the trap formation, would not easily let the other party leave.

Jiang Li, who had monopolized the Human Emperor’s ruins, had really obtained too much inside.

By wearing the Black Scale Armor, he would not be injured even if he stood and was attacked by the other party.

As long as he did not act foolishly, he would be completely invincible. Ever since he used his artifact to bully others in a battle, Jiang Li was as happy as he was when his opponent was depressed.

In the array formation, after swallowing a few healing pills, Ming Duowei stood up again.

The cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Island who had fought on the sea all year round were not comparable to the two useless Nascent Soul cultivators Jiang Li had faced before.

Although the strike just now was ruthless, it did not cause irreparable damage.

In extreme situations, a Nascent Soul cultivator could even abandon their body and escape with their Nascent Soul.

Therefore, as long as his Nascent Soul was not damaged, such top-notch cultivators would not lose their combat strength.

“I admit that I was careless. I’ll forever remember today’s humiliation. However, you’ll still die here today.”

Ming Duowei dabbed a bit of the blood on his chest, put it in his mouth, and tasted it.

Subsequently, Jiang Li could sense that the dragon blood in the other party’s body was stimulated violently in a way that he did not understand.

The Dragon Transformation Island’s study of the power of dragon blood clearly surpassed Jiang Li’s by countless times.

Ming Duowei’s body began to swell in front of Jiang Li.

A smelly seafood smell quickly filled the air.

The huge oval head blocked the sunlight as a terrifying shadow enveloped it. A circle of striking blue rings on the head would occasionally light up with a cold light that was like the deep sea.

Eight slippery tentacles the size of a basin danced nimbly in the air.

On four of the tentacles, there was a flood dragon head that looked like a sea dragon.

This guy could actually transform!

Ming Duowei was clearly a dragon blood cultivator who had his bloodline transplanted, and his target was a rare and fatal monster in the sea, the Blue-Ring Dragon Headed Octopus.

This kind of huge octopus that was rarely seen in a hundred years grew from one to eight dragon-shaped tentacles according to the concentration of their bloodline.

For example, the one in front of him had four dragon-shaped tentacles. In the Blue-Ring Dragon Headed Octopus, it was already an existence with a very good bloodline.

Roar!

The four dragon-shaped tentacles opened their mouths and let out a terrifying long roar. After that, the blue rings on the octopus flashed, and four ink-black water pillars sprayed towards Jiang Li.

Some ink splattered onto the ground and immediately emitted a hissing sound, corroding the hard rocks several meters deep.

This ink was poisonous!

Jiang Li waved his hand and created a forest. The Great Sea Floating Wood quickly absorbed the water on the ground, forming a saline desert on the spot. Then, he used the Earth Command Flag to control the desert to rise up and block and absorb the poisonous liquid.

Jiang Li himself flashed in another direction and approached the huge octopus that was transformed from Ming Duowei.

A punch landed on the other party’s head.

With a swoosh, Jiang Li’s right fist practically sank into the other party’s skin. However, from the feel of it, it seemed like he had not pierced through the other party’s skin at all.

The huge octopus’s slippery and huge body made it difficult for Jiang Li to unleash his strength.

In the next moment, two tentacles without a dragon head wrapped around his body.

The two dragon heads turned around and spat out two mouthfuls of poison on his body.

This Black Scale Armor was after all a full-body armor covered in armor plates. It was actually not waterproof.

Under the high pressure, the poisonous liquid flowed into the armor piece.

The surface of Jiang Li’s body began to burn and seep in, intending to melt his entire body within the Black Scale Armor.

The poisoning status that popped up from time to time proved that the toxicity was intense. However, before Jiang Li could use it to remove the status, these toxins were quickly expelled by the Immaculate Body.

The effect of the Immaculate Body resisting the invasion of external objects was quite good, saving Jiang Li the time to remove the poisoning status.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword transformed into a black light and cut off the two tentacles that were wrapped around Jiang Li. Only then did he escape the other party’s poison.

Because of this, the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword was also corroded by the poison and suffered a certain degree of damage, causing Jiang Li’s heart to ache for a long time.

After putting away the flying sword and drying the poison inside and outside the black scale armor, he realized that a large area had already turned into an inky poisonous swamp.

As expected, none of the Nascent Soul cultivators were simple.

There were indeed two Nascent Souls that had fallen to Jiang Li.

However, the situation of those two was rather special.

The first was the Second Elder of the Hundred Tempering Mountain, Situ Tingxin. At that time, he had been heavily injured by his master, Elder He, and had fled. His strength was only at a fraction.

He was ambushed by the Yin Burial Coffin and Rayquaza. In the end, his Nascent Soul was shattered by the newly forged Immortal Slaying Flying Sword.

The second was the one from Ink Sect. The other party was not injured, but he had suspected that he had underestimated the enemy and did not use his puppets to deal with Jiang Li.

Moreover, he was blinded by the illusion technique of the Thousand Mechanisms Sphere, causing him to be blasted into the coffin by Jiang Li, and in the end, he perished within the internal space of the Earth-rank artifact.

Ming Duowei was the third Nascent Soul cultivator that Jiang Li faced head-on.

Jiang Li had used the few trump cards he had recently obtained, but they were still not enough to defeat his opponent easily.

Body cultivators had a huge advantage in close combat. However, before their strength reached a certain level, the limitations of close combat were still slightly greater.

After another few collisions, Jiang Li was still unable to deal any effective damage to the huge octopus.

In that case, why not give it a try?

Jiang Li was not discouraged. He summoned a large number of the Nine Nether Tree Realm and temporarily entangled the other party.

Then, he took out the coffin and floated behind him.

A blood-colored light shot out from the coffin and landed on his body.

Jiang Li pressed his palms together. In his eyes, there was a trail of blood tears.

Then, the surrounding ground began to tremble crazily. The array formation set up by the Earth Command Flag began to quickly draw spiritual qi towards the location where Li was.

Under his feet, the ground swelled up. With him as the center, countless ravines that were as huge as ravines cracked open.

Something was breaking through the ground below him.

The area where the ground rose was very large. The things that broke out of the ground were definitely not small.

Boom! The raised ground completely broke open, and a huge head with wooden patterns crawled out.

Just the size of this portrait had already surpassed the dragon-headed octopus opposite.

However, Jiang Li was clearly not prepared to summon just a head this time.

The statue began to rise continuously, quickly reaching a height of more than a hundred meters.

However, it had only revealed a shoulder.

The body of the rolling statue gradually revealed itself. Half of the statue was Buddha and the other half was Demon. On its back were a thousand hands. It clearly looked identical to Jiang Li’s statue clone.

Nine Nether, Asura, Tree of Thousand Hands!

When the entire statue completely surfaced from the ground, its height had already reached a terrifying 700 meters.

In terms of height, seven hundred meters and a hundred meters sounded like only seven times. However, the difference in size and size had to be calculated using a cubic function.

7 to the power of 3 was 343 times!

Even if Jiang Li had the merit blessing to reduce the expenditure of spiritual qi, it was impossible for him to use such a heavy expenditure alone.

He used the Earth Vein Spirit to mobilize the power of the heavenly spirit and earth vein, but it was still not enough.

Most importantly, the statue clone continuously received the energy of the blood pool from the Asura World. After converting it, it was sent to Jiang Li.

It was precisely because of the support of the Asura World’s underground blood pool that Jiang Li could execute the Nine Nether Wood Art on such a scale.

The Blue-Ring Dragon Headed Octopus that was using poison to destroy Jiang Li’s Nine Nether Wood Realm looked at the huge monster that suddenly rose from the ground and was frightened until mucus covered its entire body.

The four dragon heads spat out poisonous liquid at the Thousand Hands Divine Statue, and then it only dripped on the knee of the statue, leaving some insignificant marks on it.

It was impolite not to reciprocate. A wooden hand behind the Thousand Hands Divine Statue struck out, sending it flying with a slap.

The dust dispersed, and a wound formed on the head of the Blue-Ring Dragon Headed Octopus. The four dragon heads roared at Jiang Li at the same time.

“Brat, you forced me!”

The skin on the surface of the octopus quickly turned red. Its originally soft body also swelled up piece by piece, and its size directly doubled.

This was the second time the dragon blood had erupted. It was a move that would cause great losses to the user and the enemy.

However, compared to the huge Thousand Hands Divine Statue, it was still insignificant.

The huge octopus waved its tentacles and pounced at the statue. None of the thousand hands behind the Thousand Hands Divine Statue were for decoration.

They all moved and smashed towards the huge octopus.

There were 500 Buddhist hands on the left side and 500 demonic hands on the right side. If the two wooden palms struck the enemy at the same time, it would cause an energy explosion within the enemy and cause even more fatal damage.

The shocking explosion caused by the collision of energy destroyed the area until it continuously collapsed.

The flying dust and gravel flew more than a thousand meters into the sky and did not dissipate for a long time, forming a super haze.

After the thousand Buddhist hands finished fighting, the modified terrain of the col had completely disappeared.

What appeared next was a dense impact pit that was like the surface of the moon.

In the middle of these meteorite pits, there was a lump of tattered flesh that emitted the smell of fish. Its original shape could no longer be seen.

“He shouldn’t be dead, right?”

Jiang Li knelt on the head of the Buddha statue and breathed heavily.

This move was powerful, but it was the strongest attack he could unleash with the combination of the Nine Nether clone and the Divine Statue clone. However, the expenditure was truly too great.

Even if most of the energy was provided by external objects, the pressure it caused was still extraordinary. His body was in extreme pain now. Even his Quintet Dao Foundation had suffered some damage.

It was clearly impossible to forcefully control such a level of power without paying a price.

His Foundation Establishment cultivation had already reached the late-stage. It was time to think about preparing to advance to the Core Formation realm.

If he had a Golden Core in his body to adjust it and unleash an attack of this level, the pressure on him would be much lighter.

He carefully stared at the enemy in the pit. After taking two breaths, he discovered that the rotten meat on the ground was still alive.

It wriggled and began to contract inward. Soon, a miserable figure appeared.

The other party was indeed not dead.

Dragon Imprisoning Lock!

It was impossible for Jiang Li to let the other party catch his breath.

Enduring the weakness and pain in his body, he jumped off the statue’s head. The lock around his waist automatically flew out and wrapped tightly around Ming Duowei’s entire body.

The suppression effect was activated. Dragon Transformation Island’s Nascent Soul was captured successfully!

…

While Jiang Li was fighting, Yang Ruozhi, who had separated from him, was not idle.

Her arrival made the wind in the cultivation town become noisy.

A black cat ran over from somewhere and quietly pushed open a wooden door.

The black cat sniffed the smell inside, as if it did not smell food. It turned around in disappointment and left a series of blood-red claw marks on the ground.
