Chapter 474 - 243: The Battle Begins (Part 2)
So, they also arrived, standing outside the battlefield, coldly watching the fight.
The protagonists have arrived, and the audience is gathered.
Shen Hex stood grandly with his hands behind his back, looking at the three people in front of him and surveying the surrounding terrain. He spoke no further, only uttering a single word: "Come!"
A single word that set the battle in motion.
"Hmph!!!"
Fengming Jun snorted coldly, a burst of golden light flared around him, followed by a fiery blaze. He first launched a palm attack to take the offensive.
This time, their teamwork was projected to uproot him, cutting off his control over the Great Trend of Heaven and Earth and his ability to invoke the Primordial Qi of the Ten Directions, aiming to weaken his power. However, the opponent is no mere wooden stake, why would he easily let them do as they wish?
Thus, the suppressing forbidden technique could not be directly activated; the three must attack first, restraining the opponent’s movements and creating an opportunity for Long Jianfei and Ye Xuan Sect to create the Seven Star Seal, Profound Celestial Forbidden Technique.
The weight of this task needs no further explanation.
Fortunately, the three, all Tier Seven with Divine Intent Cultivation, each had their own reliance to bear this heavy burden.
"Phoenix Heaven Slash!"
Fengming Jun struck with a palm yet changed the move midway, seeing a blade within the brilliance, resembling the Phoenix Dance in the Sky.
"Ha!"
Shen Hex chuckled, pressed out with a returning hand, with unparalleled palm skill, capturing the momentum of heaven and earth.
"Boom!!!"
Only a loud collision was heard, the Phoenix Dancing in the Sky shattered into dust, yet the remaining force of the palm technique still penetrated the enemy.
Upon seeing this, Xiong Canghai immediately stepped forward and countered with a booming palm, shielding Fengming Jun from the harm.
"Bang!!!"
Palm met palm, force contested force, another thunderous crash arose.
Xiong Canghai’s feet heavily stamped on the cracked riverbed, instantly exploding it into powder. Despite this, he could not completely dissipate the force and had to retreat three steps.
"Hiss!!!"
Though anticipated, the spectators outside still gasped upon witnessing the scene.
"Such strong palm force?"
"His foundation..."
"Not Divine Intent, yet he masters the Great Trend of Heaven and Earth?"
"The Primordial Qi of the Ten Directions flows with his palm, possessing immense power!"
"Xiong Canghai is the oldest among them, with the deepest foundation, just a step away from the Inner Realm of the Eighth Realm, yet he was forced back by the remaining force of the palm strength."
"Where on earth did this monster come from?"
"To overcome him, it is necessary to cut off his link with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi; otherwise, even with the three working together, there’s no chance of victory!"
Although observing from outside, with a hint of ’keyboard warrior’ demeanor, they were indeed Celestial Pride Geniuses from various sects, quickly identifying the crux.
"Phoenix Origin Tribulation!"
Fengming Jun’s expression unchanged, he launched another palm attack, his body like the rising sun, radiant in golden light, and the palm like a fiery phoenix, with a crimson beauty, transitioning from life to extinction, striking the opponent.
It was precisely the Phoenix Origin Tribulation!
In the Phoenix’s origin tribulation, transitioning from life to extinction, passing through it leads to Nirvana Rebirth, while failing transforms into ashes and dust.
This is the fire of the origin tribulation, carrying the intent of extinction, combined with the Divine Martial Palm Skill, capable of reducing everything to ashes.
Such an attack, forcefully launched, is like a meteor crashing down.
Yet the opponent’s expression remained unchanged, flipping his right palm, still countering attack with attack.
"Boom!!!"
Another clash, the Dragon Subduing Palm shattered the Phoenix Origin Tribulation, with five points of residual force still directed towards the person behind.
"Hiss!!!"
A sound of air escaping was heard, along with the dazzling flicker of spirit light, which transformed into a majestic shield striking forth.
"Boom!!!"
The exchange was deafening, the spirit shield flickered, not shattering, merely causing the mecha, several meters high and completely black, to quiver slightly, with some places spewing wisps of blue smoke, many components damaged, yet swiftly replaced and repaired.
It was the Profound Spirit Mecha!
The Profound Spirit, the Black Tortoise, this mecha is a Tier Six from the "Black Tortoise series", featuring a Tier Seven item as its core, and tens of thousands of low-tier components as its composition.
Indeed, a Tier Six mecha requires a Tier Seven core.
Because items of this stream only develop spirituality upon reaching Tier Seven.
Only items with spirituality can serve as the mecha’s central core, cooperating with the Mecha Master’s powerful Divine Thought, controlling the mecha composed of tens of thousands of components in battle.
Both are indispensable.
Thus, even a Tier Six mecha requires a Tier Seven core, for only a mecha equipped with a Tier Seven or above core can be considered a true mecha.
A core is needed, components as well, along with energy supply, this is completely a gold-thirsty beast, which ordinary Professionals cannot afford.
But some things are expensive for a reason; before the Twelve Tiers of Celestial, Buddha, God, and Demon, practically all mechas have the ability to fight across tiers. Though fighting doesn’t mean winning, this demonstrates the formidable strength of mecha techniques.
Now Delia piloted this Tier Six Profound Spirit Mecha, steadily blocking the residual force of Shen Hex’s palm.
Seizing this opportunity...
"Hah!!!"
Xiong Canghai stomped with both feet, assuming the Divine Martial posture, sinking Qi into his Dantian, gathering forces in his abdomen, ultimately channeling them into his chest and lungs, exiting his throat with a roar, and bursting forth like thunder.
Dragon-Slaying Tiger-Subduing Celestial Thunder Roar!
The strongest killing technique of the Xingyi Dragon Subduing Skill.
In his hands, it revealed greater power, a thunderous roar, shaking heaven and earth.
"Boom!!!"
Such was the attack, forcefully reaching Shen Hex, who flipped his hand with a press, like a mountain suppressing peaks, confronting the roaring thunder and the dragon-tiger killing technique.
"Bang!!!"
One palm like a mountain, one roar like thunder, the two met, a huge blast was seen, unexpectedly dissipating together.
This was the first time the three had completely neutralized Shen Hex’s offense directly.
"Phoenix Dance Heaven Slash!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fengming Jun launched another offensive, two crimson streaks resembling phoenix wings, slashing toward Shen Hex, the speed so fast, like light, like lightning.
Even someone as powerful as Shen Hex found it difficult to continue counterattacking, had to defend with Qi.
"Dang!!!"
The Phoenix Dance in the heavens, with an intersecting slash, landed in the void, encountering an invisible barrier, resonating with the clang of a giant bell.
"Celestial Gate Qi Shield!?"
The crowd squinted their eyes in shock, revealing an expression of astonishment.
Though they were defeated, most fell instantly to a single palm, never witnessing the chance of the Celestial Gate Qi Shield. Only occasionally did several join forces for an attack, leveraging numbers and gaps, learn of the existence of the Twelve Celestial Gates.
"Dang!!!"
The massive bell sound reverberated, the Phoenix Dance in the sky shattered in response.
But one move broke, three moves came in succession, Fengming Jun forced the offensive, Delia and Xiong Canghai followed, three combined Divine Intents, each issuing powerful techniques, aiming to press the formidable foe.
Upon seeing this, Shen Hex was decisive, raising a palm and attacking forcefully.
Xingyi Dragon Subduing Palm!
Mountain Shifting and Mountain Suppressing Skill!
Martial Arts Skill, Divine Dao Method.
Absolutely strong foundation, with no reservations, professional support, adding more power.
Such a strike...
"Boom!!!"
Another thunderous crash, dust and smoke like waves, three figures retreated violently, Fengming Jun’s golden light collapsing in streams, Xiong Canghai’s mouth corner splattered with blood, and Delia piloting the Profound Spirit Mecha, spirit light flickering, surrounded by blue smoke from various parts, unknown how many mecha components destroyed.
In contrast, their opponent remained unmoved, firmly standing on the ground, primordial qi swirling around him, forming protective barriers, layers upon layers, one gate broken, another gate born, relying on human force, drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit, endlessly and abundantly.
"This..."
"Even such force didn’t move him?"
"Twelve Celestial Gates, endlessly regenerating?"
"He holds the Great Trend of Heaven and Earth, drawing on the Primordial Qi of the Ten Directions, able to endlessly replenish and restore, as long as the Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit in this area continues, his True Essence Power is inexhaustible, and this Celestial Gate Qi Shield can continuously regenerate."
"Unbelievable!"
"It’s utterly insane."
"No, it’s not purely endless."
"Connecting continuously to heaven and earth, absorbing massive primordial qi depletes the mind greatly; the physical body bears immense pressure. Not to mention Tier Six, even Tier Seven, with established Divine Intent, cannot sustain endlessly."
"This must involve a related professional bonus!"
"Sustaining forever may not be possible, but exhausting these three is definitely more than feasible."
"Why don’t others step in..."
Outside the battlefield, the spectators paid close attention, instantly discerning various indications.
Just within that instance...
"Roar!!!"
A dragon’s roar, the sudden change in wind and clouds, seven stars emerged overhead, converging into a True Dragon, forming into a Sword Stream, forcefully descending, suppressing the formidable foe.
Seven-Star True Dragon Sword Formation!
