The Great Wild God - Chapter 374
Chapter 374 French Soldier
Under the cliff, the Blazing Sun Lightning Shield received dozens of lightning pillars, and the purple lightning arc gathered around it was like a ball of raging purple flames.
Chen Xun used the Heavenly Dao Lightning Technique to defend himself. The endless arcs of purple lightning transformed into a violent pillar of lightning that shot out like a lightning dragon and lightning snake. In the blink of an eye, it split into two, then split into four, four, and eight. Soon, it formed a lightning waterfall net that covered a hundred feet in radius, enveloping hundreds of mirages.
Seeing this scene, Song Xuanyi and the others, who were trapped in a tight encirclement, were also secretly shocked. They truly did not know that Chen Xun, who cultivated the Lightning Technique, actually had such a profound cultivation base.
No matter how powerful a lightning pillar was, it could only kill three or five mirages at a time, and it wouldn’t have much impact on thousands of mirages.
In an instant, a lightning pillar split into a lightning waterfall net that covered a radius of a hundred feet. Even though it could not kill all the hundreds of mirages covered, it alerted the large group of mirages and opened a gap for them to break through to the left wing.
The Dragon Gate Sect was one of the great sects of the Profound Sect of Cloud Continent. There were more than a dozen Origin Core Adepts specializing in lightning techniques under their sect, but few of them were able to control lightning techniques so exquisitely like Chen Xun.
Spells, divine abilities.
Xuanmen Dao Cultivators used Talisman Techniques to begin their cultivation. After returning to the embryo and cultivating the Heavenly Yuan Dao Technique, they could merge their Dao Insight into the Dao Insight and upgrade their Dao Insight to the divine ability level. They could evolve into infinite and profound changes, and their power was also greatly different.
Normally speaking, cultivators could only comprehend one Dao Insight throughout their lives, and could only upgrade the limited number of techniques related to comprehending Dao Insight to the divine ability level.
Song Xuanyi used the sword as his Dao and comprehended the supreme Dragon Sword Dao of the Dragon Gate Sect. All of the divine abilities he cultivated were within a single spirit sword.
Although he also cultivated in many techniques, including artifact forging, formation, puppet arts, and pill refining, his cultivation in these fields was rather limited, and he would definitely not be able to advance to the divine ability level.
It wasn’t that after comprehending a Dao Insight, one couldn’t gain new insights.
There is no end to the Dao. Dao Insight can be fused and promoted. After comprehending Dao Insight, every new comprehension will be fused and promoted to a higher level until one grasps a complete Grand Dao and ascends to Nirvana …
It was rumored that Chen Xun had long since comprehended the Great Freedom Sword Intent of the Thousand Swords Sect, and now that Divine Night Sect had been destroyed, he had inherited the Grand Heavenly Dao. At this time, no one knew the true expression of Chen Xun’s comprehended Dao Intent. After all, no one in Cloud Continent had been able to fuse the Great Freedom Sword Intent with the Grand Heavenly Dao before Chen Xun.
However, seeing how varied the divine abilities Chen Xun grasped were, Song Xuanyi guessed that the Dao Insight he had comprehended was definitely not trivial.
Song Xuanyi thought that his granduncle Tao Jinghong might know what kind of dao Chen Xun had comprehended, but who would dare to run over to his granduncle Tao Jinghong and ask what was right and wrong?
Chen Xun didn’t care what Song Xuanyi was thinking at this moment. He saw the lightning waterfall power grid tear open a hole in the large group of Mirage Beasts. When the dozens of Mirage Beast puppets that were about to receive the Void Origin Pearl were released together, they continued to tear open the hole, bringing Song Xuanyi and the other seven or eight people out …
Tao Siyue’s face was pale as she used her sword to repel a mirage, almost exhausting all of her magic power.
She didn’t have a good impression of Chen Xun, who had a bad temper. However, at this moment, the Crimson Star Palace and the Shaoxi Clan’s cultivators couldn’t take care of themselves. Occasionally, one or two rogue cultivators would break out of the siege and fly out. Only Chen Xun thought of coming over to help them out. Tao Siyue had her own objections and had to thank him for his help. She thought: It wasn’t bad that they had gone to the Northwest to help the four sects.
“Guard both of my wings and move west together. Only then will we be able to save more people.” Chen Xun arranged for Song Xuanyi and the others to guard his side, so that he could concentrate on killing the enemy in front of him.
Song Xuanyi didn’t say a word. In order to save mana, he held the spirit sword in his hand and fought the mirage close to his body. His body was like a dragon. Several streaks of sword light drifted away, dismembering a mirage that was more than 40 feet tall into pieces of meat.
At this moment, tens of thousands of Mirage Beasts had surrounded the hundreds of cultivators. They would not form a Heavenly Demon Array to attract the lightning dragon.
Chen Xunyu sent dozens of Mirage puppets to form a formation of Profound Evolution Chariots, rampaging through the large group of Mirage Beasts, gathering the scattered cultivators back to their wings.
Chen Xun moved from the east side to the west side of the Kaiyang Valley, and only then did he manage to bring out the disciples of the Crimson Star Palace and the Shaoxi Clan who were surrounded by the Mirage Beasts. However, the dozen or so Mirage Beast puppets beside him were almost exhausted.
Mirage beast corpses were everywhere, but Chen Xun had already prepared dozens of Soul Essence Battle Souls.
At this moment, the situation in Kaiyang Valley was changing rapidly. Without sufficient protection, Chen Xun didn’t dare to risk his life to refine his Soul Essence Battle Soul on the battlefield. Once his Soul Essence was exhausted and he couldn’t replenish it in time, it would be difficult to deal with the next dangerous situation. Song Xuanyi, Venerable Cold Moon, and Shaoxi Kang couldn’t give him enough trust.
Fortunately, Chen Xun had gathered the Scarlet Star Palace and Shaoxi Clan’s cultivators to the side. He also handed over the responsibility of charging into the formation to Venerable Leng Yue. He kindly reminded him, “The Mirage Beast Group Heavenly Yao Array needs a certain amount of time to draw the lightning. If this situation is to reappear, we can only break it in an irresistible manner. We absolutely cannot continue to mess around.”
Venerable Cold Moon’s face reddened slightly. She hadn’t expected that Daoist Adept Fa Xiang, who had cultivated for more than a thousand years, would actually be taught such a lesson by her juniors. However, she had to admit that the chaos just now, when she was surrounded by tens of thousands of mirages, was indeed an improper response.
She didn’t even think that the weak Mirage Beasts would actually use this method to deal with them with their sea of beasts tactics.
There were less than a hundred of them on this trip, but they had already lost nearly twenty of them in one fell swoop. Such a loss was already enormous.
Venerable Leng Yue pondered for a while and said, “Marquis Cang Lan, it’s up to you to decide what to do next.”
Chen Xun thought to himself, according to what he meant, everyone should obediently retreat, but he thought that Leng Yue, Shao Xi Kang, and the others would not listen to his suggestion, so he laughed happily and said,
“Chen Xun is too shallow and virtuous to take on such a heavy responsibility. Furthermore, we need to go to the core area of Kaiyang Valley. Whether or not we can obtain a treasure next depends largely on luck. If I’m wrong, I won’t be able to shoulder this responsibility …”
Venerable Cold Moon handed over command to him. It seemed that he respected him, but Chen Xun would not do such a thankless thing.
The Crimson Star Palace, the Shaoxi Clan, the Azure Scales Clan, and many rogue cultivators all had their own thoughts and were different from the direct descendants of the four sects who worked together.
If the next battle went smoothly, they would naturally follow him. If there was a slight mishap, to whom could he restrain them if they did their own things?
Who knew if the Mirage Beast had any more powerful methods to use? Chen Xun wouldn’t be the one to stand out for something that didn’t benefit him.
He had only used up a few dozen Mirage puppets just now to gather the cultivators that had been divided and surrounded together, and his benevolence and righteousness had already been exhausted.
Of course, gathering the cultivators together again wasn’t because Chen Xun had deep feelings for these incompetent and defeated fellows. He still needed the cultivators to gather together and attract the attention of a large group of Mirage Beasts.
Chen Xun took out the Lightning Death Sword again and retreated to the left wing. Following the steps of the Crimson Star Palace cultivators, he advanced towards the core area of the Kaiyang Palace. Streaks of sword light shot out like roaming dragons and frightened snakes, splitting any mirage that tried to approach him within a radius of 20 feet into bloody rains.
Chen Xun and the others quickly chased after the large group of mirages and opened up a bloody path. They entered the core area of the Kaiyang Palace and scattered the nearby mirages.
Along the way, the majestic palaces of the Wei Peak of the Kaiyang Palace were blasted into ruins by endless lightning waterfalls, and boulders that collapsed from lonely peaks were everywhere …
The Heaven and Earth Spell Formation was powerful enough to move mountains and overturn seas, and Chen Xun was numb to everything he saw.
The Mirage Beast was disturbed by the cultivators. There was still one last layer of formation restriction in the Kaiyang Palace that could not be broken by the lightning. The azure profound light shield covered a square that was a hundred feet in radius.
The plaza was covered with pure white jade-like clouds and stones, like a mirror-like surface of water. The morning breeze came out of the eight bottles of golden-armored giant statues standing around the plaza.
These eight bottles of golden-armored statues, to be more precise, were enormous profound seals that stood around the plaza.
The profound seal was forged from unknown materials. It was square and was forty to fifty zhang tall. Its entire body was densely packed with profound profound talismans and secret seals, yet it was dark and devoid of light.
On the surface of the profound seal, the golden-armored battle general statue that held the ancient halberd shone with golden light, but it was only ten zhang tall. Compared to the enormous seal, the golden-armored battle general was more like the nose button of the profound seal.
Looking through the protective spirit shield, everyone knew that these eight bottles of gigantic profound seals were the true treasures hidden by ancient powers in the Kaiyang Palace.
“Do these eight bottles of golden armor statues look like the Star Iron Demon Body of the Void Origin Palace?” Chen Xun asked Old Kui, who was hiding in the Void Origin Pearl, through his spiritual will.
“These eight golden-armored statues are actually weapons refined by the Big Dipper Immortal,” Old Kui said in shock. “If a Heaven Origin Realm cultivator refines them, they can use them as true body techniques to defend against enemies!”
Hearing this, Chen Xun was secretly shocked.
Although the Void Origin Pearl’s Star Iron Demon Body was extremely powerful, it required a very strong Soul Essence Battle Soul to drive it.
Chen Xun dismantled most of the Star Iron Demon Bodies, leaving behind only two relatively intact Star Iron Demon Bodies. However, he hadn’t been able to refine enough Soul Essence Battle Soul Drive yet.
If the spell matched the weapon, then a Heaven Origin Realm cultivator could use it. If he could take it into his pocket, wouldn’t it be equivalent to eight Dharma Aspect Realm experts protecting him?
Chen Xun’s eyes lit up when he saw Venerable Leng Yue, Shao Xi Kang, and Song Xuan Yi. He knew that they might not know about the matching weapons, but he was absolutely clear that these eight bottles of Profound Seal Golden Armor statues were definitely not ancient treasures that ordinary Heaven Ranked magical artifacts could compare to.
“Marquis Azure Water, there are a total of eight bottles of golden armor statues. This is very good. The four of us will each take one bottle. If there is any surplus, will those who are able to take it be good?” Venerable Cold Moon raised his voice and asked.
Chen Xun thought to himself that Venerable Cold Moon’s arrangement was fair. They could ensure that there was a bottle of magic matching weapons in their pockets, so there was no need to kill each other in order to fight for the ancient treasures.
After a while, The more Chen Xun thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. When the Mirage Beast had besieged the cultivators of the Crimson Star Palace, There was enough time to draw the lightning and forcefully break through the last defensive restriction of the Yang Opening Palace. He took the eight bottles of weapons first. However, the mirage did not move until they entered the core area of the Yang Opening Palace. Instead, it was easily dispersed by them. No wonder the mirage was hundreds of miles away. These mirages were not strong enough?
