I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2377 - 1073: Slay It

Chen Mobai positioned himself atop the Tai Yi Wu Yan Luo, gazing toward the Civet Power on the opposite side. Once it unveiled its true form, the beast pulled in earth energy from thousands of miles away, which made him give a faint nod of approval.

This represented the true might of the Deity Transformation stage, where one could summon nature's spiritual energy to bolster their own power.

Typical cultivators absorb spiritual energy into their bodies to build up their strength, relying on it as required; their realm matches the amount of spiritual power they possess.

Even those at the Nascent Soul level fall under this category. Yet, if they've grasped powerful spells, sword intent, magic artifacts, Dao fruits, or similar, they might draw in bits of nature's spiritual energy even before reaching Deity Transformation.

For example, Chen Mobai could harness the yang aspect of the Heavenly Thunder Force via the Purple Electric Sword, amplifying the might of his sword intent.

However, when set against God-Transcending cultivators, such feats pale in comparison by a huge margin.

Once a cultivator acquires the Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect, the lifelong shifts from their cultivation techniques make them highly attuned to a particular type of natural spiritual energy, almost like its embodiment, serving as a central conduit. Thus, they can draw it in at will, without needing to refine it first.

Moreover, spells and divine abilities boosted by nature's spiritual energy unleash forces that are at minimum dozens of times more potent, and occasionally even tens or hundreds of times greater.

That's why, despite Nascent Soul powerhouses possibly commanding Rank-5 true strength, forged bodies, divine sense, and the like, they stand virtually no chance against genuine God-Transcending cultivators in battle.

To illustrate, Chen Mobai's Second Primeval Spirit could now rely on the Power of the Fire Great Dao as its foundation to summon natural fire spiritual power for self-enhancement.

Though Civet Power lingered at the lower end of Rank-5, it remained unbeatable unless pitted against Deity Transformation foes.

"Boy, get ready to die!"

With its true body exposed, rising hundreds of feet tall, Civet Power's eyes protruded massively, winds churning around its breaths, its pair of massive tusks shining with a sinister yellow glow. In a flash, it gathered all the nearby earth spiritual energy, shaping it into slim stone pillars that hovered in the air, targeting Chen Mobai amid a thunderous bellow.

"Having your Rank-5 True Spirit proclaim my power turns out even better than I'd hoped."

As Chen Mobai uttered these words, the Primordial Yang Treasure Beads hovering behind his head glowed brighter, igniting with flames that reshaped into his compact Second Primeval Spirit.

The Second Primeval Spirit pointed with its right hand's sword finger, sending the Primordial Yang Sword soaring from the domain, its golden beams flaring to reveal the Prosperous Peace embodied in this single slash.

All those howling slender stone pillars crumbled upon approaching Chen Mobai, blasted apart by the erupting golden rays from the sword, reduced to tiny fragments that rained down like stones onto the earth.

Su Taifeng's eyes bulged in disbelief at the sight.

"Deity Transformation? You're really a God-Transcending cultivator!"

That casual sword from Chen Mobai outshone the earlier all-out Thousand Swords Dharma Body, elevating the Purple Electric Sword's One Sword Breaks All Laws strike by an entire tier.

This blade, which shattered every law in its path, evoked in Su Taifeng the presence of Yu Taiping from the Supreme Palace.

A figure whose very glance forced Su Taifeng to bow his head, too afraid to meet his eyes.

"I might not fully qualify as a God-Transcending just yet, but taking down a Rank-5 True Spirit and a nobody like you poses no issue at all."

Having summoned the Second Primeval Spirit, Chen Mobai had no intention of dragging things out further.

During his recent fishing trips, though he hadn't hooked the anticipated Earth Virtue or similar prizes, snagging a Rank-5 True Spirit and a Heavenly Spirit Pill proved a delightful surprise.

Besides, if this Su Wuming standing before him truly turned out to be the Taoist Child of Central State's Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, dispatching him required a touch of care.

In the end, he'd simply stepped out today, stumbled upon a feral Rank-5 True Spirit by chance, and dealt with it offhandedly.

As for Su Wuming, he was a stranger, unseen and unknown; if he perished, that wasn't on Chen Mobai.

With that thought, the Second Primeval Spirit swung the Primordial Yang Sword toward Su Taifeng, who had intended to spectate safely from the sidelines.

"Save me..."

Su Taifeng pushed the Mount Tai Seal's energy to its utmost, while activating the Earth Escape Technique to dodge the incoming sword, yelling desperately at the nearby Civet Power.

He understood full well that against a God-Transcending, he could endure perhaps one or two strikes at best.

His sole shot at survival that day rested with Civet Power, the Rank-5 True Spirit.

Evidently, Su Taifeng occupied a special place in Civet Power's mind, as it let out a furious roar upon seeing Chen Mobai draw his sword, spitting out one tusk that morphed into a pristine white streak, intercepting the Primordial Yang Sword halfway.

The instant sword met tusk, a blazing golden radiance exploded outward, the sharp, blazing sword intent carving a minor gash on the tusk's surface.

This tusk formed a core part of Civet Power's true body, honed over millennia of cultivation, further refined with Ten Thousand Spirits Sect's help using various Rank-5 minerals; its toughness placed it among the elite of Rank-5 materials.

Nevertheless, confronting one of the three premier Immortal Gate flying swords, empowered by the One Sword Breaks All Laws-infused Primordial Yang Sword intent, it couldn't hold the advantage.

Still, it bought Su Taifeng a moment's reprieve.

"Go now, I'll catch up with you soon."

Civet Power glanced fondly at the slight crack on its tusk, but sensing Chen Mobai's overwhelming prowess, it urgently called for Su Taifeng to withdraw.

Though Su Taifeng could tap into certain Rank-5 techniques, on a real Deity Transformation battlefield, he'd merely serve as fodder.
