I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2376 - 1072: A Fierce Battle, Part 4

While Su Taifeng uttered those words, the enormous Ya Yu Dharma Aspect, formed from the mountain under his feet, parted its jaws and launched a razor-sharp stone spike straight at Chen Mobai.

This spike sliced through the empty space too, but it moved far quicker than the earlier mountain behemoth, arriving right at Chen Mobai's forehead almost instantly.

In response to this assault, Chen Mobai stood unmoving, wrapped in the Thousand Swords Dharma Body that he'd forged using scores of Nine Heavens Pure Qi strands, and he fully released the Heaven Cutting Sword Domain without restraint.

Such pristine forces would surely fall short against a genuine Divinity Transformation clash.

Yet when facing an incomplete practitioner like Su Taifeng, they proved utterly sufficient.

As the Sword Domain spread out and enveloped everything, the previously formidable Ya Yu abruptly lost two or three tenths of its strength, with its sturdy frame crumbling and shedding dirt and rocks in a rustling cascade.

Luckily, in that pivotal instant, the Civet Power ejected yet another burst of vital essence to steady it.

The incoming stone spike that breached the Thousand Swords Dharma Body also fragmented beneath the Six Imperial Swords Killing Formation, inflicting zero damage on Chen Mobai.

Boom!

Simultaneously, the Thousand Swords Dharma Body's right hand balled into a fist, drawing the Purple Electric Sword's authentic essence from the emptiness. The Purple Electric Sword morphed into a massive, stretched form suited to the Dharma Body, radiating brilliant lightning glow, akin to a violet aurora that ripped across the heavens while descending in a fierce chop.

This strike embodied the authentic Purple Brilliance Sword Intent of One Sword Breaks All Laws!

The Ya Yu Dharma Aspect, which had been surging forward with the stone spike, got cleaved clean from crown to base by this single blade, and the unyielding drive of the Purple Electric Sword, backed by booming thunder, pressed onward to strike at Su Taifeng perched atop Ya Yu's spine.

Su Taifeng's face twisted in shock as he realized Chen Mobai's blade could pierce his barriers and potentially end his life.

"Senior Civet, lend me your aid!"

On the edge of doom, Su Taifeng at last dropped his restraint and cried out to the Civet Power near his boots.

"This goes beyond our prior deal; we need to add one more term. Once we seize that Yellow Dragon, she has to wed me."

Even as Civet Power voiced that demand, it rose to its feet, stretching out its front limbs. Through its command, immense Earth True Power gathered the broken soil and boulders from Ya Yu into a pair of colossal paws, which solidly gripped and halted the descending Purple Electric Sword.

"Agreed, but only after I achieve Divinity Transformation."

A flicker of reluctance crossed Su Taifeng's features. Should he ascend using the True Spirit Bloodline of the Yellow Dragon, the young Yellow Dragon Girl would serve as his vital core, and the idea of her marrying Civet Power stirred a wave of disgust within him.

But right then, no alternatives remained for him.

Though Civet Power was a cultivated True Spirit from the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, at Rank-5, its standing ranked just below the Sect's Divinity Transformation experts. Furthermore, the contract binding Civet Power wasn't under his control. His capacity to command it stemmed from his Master's, True Lord Tianling's, influence.

After weighing all options in a flash, Su Taifeng conceded defeat to Chen Mobai and left the rest to Civet Power.

"Hahaha, splendid, splendid, I never thought I'd one day desire the Yellow Dragon."

Upon hearing Su Taifeng's consent, Civet Power burst into booming laughter.

Its lineage capped at Rank-6, yet pairing with the Yellow Dragon might refine its descendants via a premier True Spirit bloodline, granting its species a shot at Rank-7 someday.

Envisioning this promising prospect, Civet Power deemed its journey to the East Continent a wise choice.

It boldly channeled its Rank-5 True Strength, fully countering the fearsome Rank-5 Purple Brilliance Sword Intent, then scraped its paws to pulverize the myriad lightning bolts accompanying the Sword Intent into faint electric threads like tiny serpents.

Still, One Sword Breaks All Laws proved remarkably potent.

Once it dispelled this assault, Civet Power's dirt-and-rock-formed claws ended up ragged and full of holes.

"To command such mighty One Sword Breaks All Laws with just a Nascent Soul body, your talent in sword arts is unmatched in millennia on the West Continent. But as a mere Nascent Soul, you'll squeeze out two or three more strikes at best..."

Earlier, while supporting Su Taifeng with essence to power the Mount Tai Seal and various potent fifth-rank treasures, Civet Power had been scrutinizing Chen Mobai's techniques.

The emergence of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body truly unleashed a startling Rank-5 presence; even as the Heaven Cutting Sword Domain unfurled, it affected a Rank-5 True Spirit like Civet Power, blocking almost a fifth of its Earth True Power from use.

But Civet Power quickly noted that after that strike, ten percent of the Sword Domain's bound Earth True Power slipped loose.

This indicated Chen Mobai's Thousand Swords Dharma Body had depleted close to half its might.

"You're right, beyond the Five Elements Sect's domain, the Thousand Swords Dharma Body can't deal with a beast like you."

Chen Mobai, eyeing Civet Power's shape, gave a nod of confirmation.

Lacking the enhancement from the Fruit of Dao’s Rule and depending only on the Nine Heavens Pure Qi he'd gathered laboriously through the years, he could handle Su Taifeng at most.

Against a legitimate Rank-5 like Civet Power, on par with Divinity Transformation, he could manage three strikes tops before his facade crumbled and the Heaven Cutting Sword Domain collapsed.

"I'm no pig; I'm the Earth Element Divine Beast, Civet Power. Can't you see that!"

Yet Chen Mobai's remark ignited Civet Power's wrath. Despite its pig-like traits, it despised being labeled as such above all.

"That detail doesn't matter. What counts is you're a Rank-5 True Spirit. Slaying you would let me craft deity transformation pills from your essence blood."

Noting the rage building in Civet Power, Chen Mobai stayed relaxed inside the Thousand Swords Dharma Body.

"You insolent whelp, I'll rip you to shreds and toss the bits to the swine!"

Watching Civet Power explode in fury, Su Taifeng inwardly rued the moment. Why hadn't Chen Mobai mocked Civet Power's pig-like look sooner? He could've fled without any loss then.

With a thunderous bellow, Civet Power unveiled its genuine form, rising immense as a peak.

A true Rank-5 powerhouse, merely exuding its aura sent waves of pressure rippling even to Dongling Immortal City, distant by miles.

"A feral Rank-5 True Spirit?"

The Azure Fall Palace Master shot to her feet, gazing toward the aura's origin and matching it to the earlier map, soon pinpointing it at the Kun Position.

That zone fell under the Five Elements Sect's watch.

"Looks like Sect Leader Chen's fortune has run dry!"

Recalling the vibrant youth in white robes, the Azure Fall Palace Master experienced a twinge of sorrow.

She herself, against a Rank-5 True Spirit, could only hope to flee using Taixu MiaoMiao Palace's hidden arts at best.

A Nascent Soul cultivator stood no chance versus a Rank-5 True Spirit.

Dreading that the untamed Rank-5 True Spirit might ravage Dongling Immortal City, she promptly ordered the city's Array Master to trigger the City-Protecting Great Formation. In the last two years, the Three Great Sacred Lands had poured immense resources anew, upgrading East Spirit Mountain's Spirit Vein to Rank-5. Guided by the Xuanji Instrument over sky and ground, it could withstand a Rank-5 True Spirit onslaught briefly.

The Azure Fall Palace Master further sent pupils via the Teleportation Array to Shetuoling, summoning Shenxi to oversee the Grand Formation.

Even after these steps, unease lingered, so she pulled out a talisman linked to Da Kong True Monarch, inscribed the update on it, and reluctantly triggered it.

As for rushing help to the Five Elements Sect, such an idea never entered her thoughts.

All she managed was a silent prayer for Sect Leader Chen to draw on luck and survive the Rank-5 True Spirit's fury unscathed.
