Chapter 367: Battle of Foundation Establishment, The Power of the Domain!
Chapter 367: Battle of Foundation Establishment, The Power of the Domain!
October 9th, 2024
As he felt the powerful presence rapidly approaching him from behind, a faint smile appeared on Lu Qing's face.
With two Spirit Tools in his possession, concealing his aura would be incredibly easy, even from Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
However, his intention was not to flee.
Instead of hiding himself, he intentionally revealed a hint of his aura, allowing the Foundation Establishment cultivator behind him to sense it.
As expected, upon sensing Lu Qing's aura, the pursuer's speed suddenly increased again, rapidly closing the distance.
Lu Qing remained calm and collected, and with a flash of clear light from his body, his speed also surged as he quickly moved forward.
They were still relatively close to the Spirit Mountain Range, so he needed to put more distance between them.
The grey-robed elder noticed Lu Qing's increased speed and seemed to realize he was being pursued. A cold glint appeared in his eyes.
"Can you really escape?"
Golden light emerged from his body and flowed into the small golden boat beneath his feet.
In the next moment, his speed multiplied again, rapidly closing in on Lu Qing.
After dozens of breaths, they finally reached a vast plain, where Lu Qing's figure came into view.
Looking at Lu Qing's panicked fleeing figure over a hundred zhang away, the grey-robed elder in mid-air didn't hesitate. He pointed his finger, and a beam of golden light shot directly towards Lu Qing's back heart.
In an instant, the golden light reached Lu Qing's back and was about to pierce through him.
At the critical moment, Lu Qing rolled, narrowly avoiding the golden light.
However, the grey-robed elder's expression remained unchanged, still cold and stern. He simply changed the spell gesture with his fingers.
The golden light, which Lu Qing had just avoided, suddenly shifted direction in mid-air during a breath and accelerated towards Lu Qing's chest.
This sudden change was too fast for Lu Qing to evade. His battle sword transformed into a bolt of thunder, slicing through the golden light.
Boom!
A blast of air exploded, causing Lu Qing's body to sink as the surrounding grass, mud, and stones were shaken and scattered in all directions.
The golden light was slashed away by Lu Qing's sword, revealing its true form—a golden dart.
"Hmm?"
The grey-robed elder was surprised to see that Lu Qing had so easily deflected the magical artifact he had summoned. A hint of shock finally appeared on his face.
However, he remained silent, changing the spell gesture with his fingers. The golden dart transformed back into a beam of golden light and flew towards Lu Qing once more.
As the grey-robed elder focused his mind, the spiritual energy within a hundred-meter radius began to fluctuate, continuously gathering towards the golden dart.
A magnificent force formed, pressing down on Lu Qing.
This time, the grey-robed elder no longer tested his abilities but demonstrated the true power of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth..."
Sensing the several times stronger power emanating from the golden dart compared to before, Lu Qing's expression turned solemn.
He was very familiar with the technique the grey-robed elder was using.
It was the same Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth technique that the Third Sage Lord's puppet body had once employed.
In simple terms, Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth involved using soul power to permeate the surrounding heaven and earth, controlling the energy between them, and harnessing it for one's own purposes, thus forming a grand force.
To master this technique, one must possess an incredibly powerful soul and have a profound understanding of the heavenly and earthly laws.
Lu Qing also understood this move. After comprehending the domain from his master, he naturally grasped the technique of Divine Fusion with Heaven and Earth.
Not long ago, in Cangzhou City, he had used this technique to break through the array nodes set up by the demon cultivators with his bow and arrow.
By gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth onto his magical arrows, he imbued them with such power that even the array's light barrier from the Ten Directions Blood-Smelting Soul-Refining Array couldn't block them.
Therefore, facing the golden dart carrying the might of heaven and earth, Lu Qing's body also emanated a powerful aura.
An invisible domain expanded from his body, quickly encompassing the space within three zhang around him.
At this moment, a golden light flickered, and the Earth Spirit Orb in Lu Qing's brow center acupoint trembled slightly.
Lu Qing then reached out and made a grabbing motion towards the front.
The next moment, a strange scene unfolded.
The magical artifact, the Golden Shuttle, which carried the might of heaven and earth, had just entered within three zhang of Lu Qing's body when its speed visibly slowed down.
When it reached a distance of two zhang, it became as slow as a tortoise.
In the end, it was stopped by Lu Qing at a distance of one zhang in front of him, unable to move, its power completely dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the Golden Shuttle.
"What?"
This time, the grey-robed elder was truly startled.
His eyes revealed a look of shock as he stared intently at Lu Qing.
It seemed he couldn't believe that his stored-up strike had been resolved by Lu Qing so easily.
"Old Baldy, don't hold back, these little tricks won't work on me. I suggest you use your full strength, or you'll regret it when you die later."
After effortlessly blocking the attack with the help of the Earth Pulse Magnetic Force-enhanced domain, Lu Qing said calmly.
He looked at the grey-robed elder in mid-air, and information about him began to appear in Lu Qing's vision.
[Kuxing Elder: One of the Supreme Elders of Hanging Mountain.]
[Cultivation Level: Foundation Establishment Realm Great Success (Perfection).]
[Out of fear of the Heavenly and Earthly Laws sensing him and bringing down tribulation, he cut off his cultivation, descending from Foundation Establishment Realm Perfection to Foundation Establishment Realm Great Success.]
[Those who advance within the secret realm have an incomplete foundation, and must supplement their foundation to have hope of successfully crossing the tribulation.]
[Possesses unusual treasures, formidable strength.]
...
After reading the information that appeared on the grey-robed elder, Lu Qing understood.
It seemed that this person was one of Hanging Mountain's foundations.
A Foundation Establishment Realm Perfection cultivator was already considered one of the top existences in the world today.
However, it appeared that the elder was extremely wary of the Heavenly and Earthly Laws that had not yet evolved sufficiently in the outside world.
He actually had to cut off his cultivation before daring to leave the secret realm.
"Arrogant!"
The shock in the grey-robed elder's eyes faded.
He had also realized what method Lu Qing was using.
"Do you think you can be so bold just because of a small domain?
Demon, you are cruel and ruthless, daring to slaughter the disciples of Hanging Mountain.
Today, I shall act on behalf of heaven and send you on your way!"
As he spoke, it was as if a seal had been lifted, and an incredibly powerful aura surged from within the grey-robed elder's body.
Immediately after, he pointed with a spell in his hand, and the Golden Shuttle that Lu Qing had immobilized seemed to suddenly receive a powerful boost, shaking and spinning violently.
Even Lu Qing's domain showed signs of being broken.
"Hmph!"
But with a light hum from Lu Qing, the golden light reappeared on his body.
The entire domain space became ten times heavier.
With this added power, the Golden Shuttle was once again suppressed, like an insect trapped in amber, unable to move.
"Earth Pulse Magnetic Force."
Upon seeing the golden light on Lu Qing's body, the grey-robed elder's expression finally turned solemn.
The Earth Pulse Magnetic Force was no ordinary power.
It was a high-level manifestation of Earth-type power, and one must have profound insight into the Earth Dao to have a chance of mastering it.
Furthermore, to be able to suppress his magical artifact with the Earth Pulse Magnetic Force, the other party's soul power was no less than his own! Could it be that this mysterious person with a ghost face, who clearly exuded a Qi Condensation Realm aura, was actually a fellow cultivator of the same level in disguise?
"Old Baldy, you're quite knowledgeable."
Just as the grey-robed elder was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Lu Qing chuckled.
"However, you must be tired of standing up there. Come down here!"
With that, he extended his palm and made a grabbing motion, pulling it downwards.
As Lu Qing did this, the grey-robed elder suddenly felt an immense force acting upon his body.
His body instantly became ten times heavier.
He swayed, and the golden gondola beneath his feet showed signs of being unable to support him.
