I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2373 - 1072: A Fierce Battle
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
A heaviness weighed down on Chen Mobai's frame; with his divine sense sweeping through, he immediately spotted the attacker, a flicker of shock passing through his gaze.
At last, the moment had arrived.
Those repeated flights between Venus Valley and Dongling Immortal City over the years had proven worthwhile, instead of just relying on teleportation.
His body's innate pure yang qi surged into motion, igniting the immortal robe he wore in a burst of fierce flames that shaped into scarlet fire dragons, lifting him defiantly against the crushing pull from the ground beneath.
Simultaneously, Chen Mobai thrust his sword-finger at the barren mountain, and in an instant, a violet lightning streak lit up the pristine sky, forming a colossal Purple Thunder Divine Sword that crashed down amid booming thunder.
"Hmm!"
Along with a murmur of uncertainty, a murky yellow barrier abruptly materialized over the barren mountain, covering its summit completely.
Down came the Purple Thunder Divine Sword from above, smashing into the barrier with a deafening blast.
Violent tremors rocked the ground, cracks spiderwebbing out from the barren mountain's center, sending clouds of debris soaring upward.
Perched on the peak, Su Taifeng detected Chen Mobai's fifth-tier sword intent and revealed a trace of shock on his face.
Though Mu Youyi had warned him that the Five Elements Sect Master was a peerless genius in sword cultivation, already proficient in fifth-tier sword intent for ages, differences still existed among the fifth tier.
Right there in view, the Purple Brilliance Sword Intent had reached the top quality within the fifth tier.
Without the Mount Tai Seal—a magic artifact that boosted his spell tier just a bit—he would likely falter against this blade.
"Su Wuming, you waited until this instant to strike; that truly took me off guard."
Chen Mobai's voice echoed from overhead right then, bringing a scorching wave of heat laced with draconic howls. In the swirling dust facing Su Taifeng, nine enormous flame dragons burst forth abruptly, charging forward with talons extended.
Confronting yet another fifth-tier assault, Su Taifeng's features had settled into composure.
"Not bad, you've earned my full focus."
While uttering those words, the dim yellow glow surrounding Su Taifeng brightened sharply, and the barren mountain under him stirred as if awakening, morphing into beastly forms. Walls of rock warped, unleashing light yellow talons that grabbed the incoming nine flame dragons before snapping shut abruptly.
A thunderous explosion rang out as the nine flame dragons shattered like bursting fireworks, scattering into a shower of crimson fire. But hidden in that blaze, an orange-red gleam stealthily gathered, slipping from Chen Mobai's sleeve and merging into the chaos.
Once the Nine Fire Flame Dragons were shattered, Su Taifeng's deep green eyes gleamed with a sinister spiritual aura, like a predator ready to pounce, extending toward Chen Mobai hovering in the air.
Within moments, scores of earthy claws ripped across the sky, closing in on him and aiming for his skull, throat, arms, legs, and key points.
Against this onslaught, Chen Mobai stayed utterly still, exhaling a brilliant stream of rainbow-hued qi.
The moment those earthy claws touched the Primordial True Qi, they crumbled far quicker than the Nine Flame Dragons, dissolving into ashen dust that shrouded the heavens in gloom.
At the same time, a premonition of danger stirred in Su Taifeng's core.
Fifth-tier true strength flowed through him, summoning a murky yellow light barrier from his form to halt an orange-red flash that had silently approached his throat.
Grating noises filled the air as his defense warped and even fractured, causing Su Taifeng's face to shift subtly.
He promptly ejected a golden Four Directions Seal. The Mount Tai Seal dropped down, just managing to reinforce the barrier on the verge of being rent by 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, withdrawing once more and vanishing into the sleeve of Chen Mobai's Pure Yang Immortal Robe, inwardly filled with awe.
In the Tianhe Realm's sword cultivation path, regardless of one's exceptional gifts, practitioners always focused on a single specialty at the start.
It was only after reaching the pinnacle of their primary sword intent that they would seek to form additional ones for realm advancement.
Achieving that milestone marked the One Sword Breaks All Laws at Divinity Transformation stage.
Su Taifeng might accept Chen Mobai mastering fifth-tier sword intent, perhaps even grasping One Sword Breaks All Laws.
But wielding two fifth-tier sword intents, each at the One Sword Breaks All Laws level, was beyond what the proud Su Taifeng could fathom.
"That magic artifact of yours is solid; it just preserved your existence."
With those words from Chen Mobai, a casual flick of his sleeve dispersed the airborne dust and rock fragments in a flash.
His eyes fell on the Mount Tai Seal clutched by Su Taifeng, and he gave an approving nod.
The artifact's rank stood at minimum 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 no ordinary foe, but fate brought you against me this day."
Though Su Taifeng realized his underestimation of Chen Mobai was real, he refused to yield ground in words.
In speaking, he resolved to unleash everything.
As the Mount Tai Seal's spiritual glow danced in his grasp, a fifth-tier civet power materialized, stepping to Su Taifeng's side.
The instant the civet power emerged, Chen Mobai's face turned grave.
