I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2374: 1072: Fierce Battle, Round 1_2

“Fifth Rank True Spirit?”
With a touch of doubt in his gaze toward Civet Power, he spoke, his voice laced with an unintended thrill.
“Yes, forcing me to unleash my full strength means you can die without regrets.”
Su Taifeng's face settled into composure as he uttered these words, eyeing Chen Mobai like a corpse already laid to rest.
“Before we clash, could you tell me your real name?”
The question came abruptly from Chen Mobai.
“I'm no saint; I prefer keeping foes in the shadows.”
Su Taifeng dodged the query, while the Civet Power below him parted its jaws to release a flow of earthy elemental force, which he drew into himself.
Once he absorbed the core from the Fifth Rank True Spirit, Su Taifeng's true qi—already beyond Nascent Soul limits—exploded to an even greater height.
A booming thunder echoed as the desolate peak underfoot stirred to life, morphing into a colossal stone behemoth towering hundreds of meters, cradling Su Taifeng in its grasp to bring him eye-level with Chen Mobai above.
“You've got it wrong; I only seek a foe's name because I disdain felling the unknown.”
Gazing upon Su Taifeng perched in the giant's hand, Chen Mobai delivered words that ignited an uncontrollable rage in his adversary.
“Fine then, I planned to spare your corpse, but now I'll pulverize you to powder.” Su Taifeng's voice turned glacial, and the Mount Tai Seal he held broke apart into fragments of rock plating that sheathed his form completely.
Next, a murky yellow staff materialized out of nowhere.
Did the Mount Tai Seal possess such variations?
Observing this, Chen Mobai pondered that the crafting arts of the Tianhe Realm weren't so primitive; both this piece and the Xuanji Instrument amid the skies and lands displayed remarkable sophistication.
Maybe, the deeper one explores artifact forging, the more paths seem to merge.
As these thoughts swirled, the mountain giant's other limb under Su Taifeng gathered dirt and rock into a enormous staff spanning a hundred meters.
Explosive sonic bursts followed as it hurtled straight for Chen Mobai's skull.
Chen Mobai parted his lips once more, exhaling Primordial True Qi.
The instant this puff of true qi met the hundred-meter staff, the structure of compacted earth and stone within it collapsed, causing it to disintegrate and contract section by section.
“Tch.”
Su Taifeng's brow furrowed at the sight.
The Primordial True Qi from Yi Yuan Dao Palace, though famed from Yi Yuan True Monarch's ascension, had waned by Su Taifeng's era. It lacked the prestige of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect or other Three Great Sacred Lands, which dispatched Taoist Saintesses to Central State for tempering.
So, Su Taifeng knew of it only by tales and hadn't tested this divine ability before.
Encountering it now, he found it matched the hype, proving potent against Five Elements Spells methods.
Yet, Chen Mobai's Primordial True Qi hadn't reached Fifth Rank, and bolstered by the Fifth Rank Civet Power's essence, Su Taifeng could withstand strikes from an actual Divinity Transformation expert.
Fueled by Su Taifeng's vast true qi reserves, the hundred-meter staff lost just a portion to the Primordial True Qi and kept plummeting toward Chen Mobai's head, carrying the dread force of rent space.
A resonant crash boomed.
From Chen Mobai's rear, a massive digit thrust out like a keen blade advancing, aimed at the hundred-meter staff.
This digit gleamed with pure, radiant spiritual glow, forging a third strand of Fifth Rank sword intent, utterly distinct from its predecessors. Su Taifeng detected within it visions of radiant sun, sprouting flora, crisp breeze, and pulsing vitality.
Clearly, it stemmed from a wood-aligned sword art, ideally opposing his Earth True Power.
After two breaths locked in tension, the hundred-meter staff gripped by the mountain giant, plus its limb, saw verdant sprouts erupt from stone cracks everywhere.
Beneath the wood-aligned Fifth Rank sword intent, these sprouts surged with unchecked growth, acting as supple yet tough edges that tore apart the staff and arm, then crept up the giant's upper limb and torso, enveloping its whole frame.
Confronted by this third Fifth Rank sword intent, Su Taifeng stood utterly stunned!
His eyes bulged as he lashed out with his staff, pulverizing the tainted shoulders and arms of the mountain giant below him overrun by the green shoots.
Yet in that instant, another digit appeared behind Chen Mobai. It too bore wood-aligned sword intent, the ultimate foil to Earth Element, and plunged down upon Su Taifeng's crown.
The staff from the Mount Tai Seal swung with force, colliding against this jade-hued, sheer giant sword digit.
In the midst of the earth-shaking din, the mountain giant upholding Su Taifeng faltered under the aftershocks of these dual Fifth Rank true powers, splintering with countless fractures.
Still, the dormant Fifth Rank Civet Power pawed the ground with its claw-like foreleg, unleashing a torrent of thick, refined Earth True Power that swiftly mended the giant.
By then, Su Taifeng had also dispersed the wood-aligned sword intent.
Against the prior two Fifth Rank superior grade Purple Brilliance Sword Intent and Primordial Yang Sword Intent, this Clear Sword Intent proved far feebler, barely attaining Fifth Rank.
This insight let Su Taifeng exhale in relief.
Should Chen Mobai command three true Fifth Rank superior grade sword intents, he might not have endured today absent the Fifth Rank Civet Power's aid.
“Your Sword Dao talent stands among the top three I've witnessed. Without East Continent's limits, your feats could rival Supreme Palace's elites. Such a shame…”
