Chapter 409: Divine Ability's Might! Slaying the Golden Core!
2024-12-06
"Young Master, he's a senior Core Formation Master, and we probably only have one chance."
The voice of "Flame" echoed in Lu Qing's mind.
"I know," Lu Qing replied telepathically.
He paused, no longer fleeing, and with a stomp, shattered a huge boulder beneath his feet. His body burst out with layers of white mist, like an arrow released from its string, surging into the air, then turning back to strike at the white-robed youth high above.
At the same time, his mind connected with two mysterious locations within his body.
"Desperate enough to try such a move?" The white-robed youth's eyes flashed with disdain upon seeing this. "But do you think I'd let you get close so easily?"
Before he finished speaking, a Mystic Palm condensed before him, reaching out to strike Lu Qing.
The Mystic Palm hadn't even touched Lu Qing's body when the powerful suppressing force caused his speed to plummet.
Then, with a grab, he was held tightly in the palm.
"Finally caught you, ant."
A smile appeared on the white-robed youth's face.
But the next moment, his expression changed.
Suddenly, behind Lu Qing, a giant cauldron's shadow appeared, not only directly countering his Ten Thousand Laws Palm but also sealing the space within several li with its formidable might.
"A Spirit Artifact?!"
The white-robed youth exclaimed, his face turning pale.
He never expected that Lu Qing would possess a Spirit Artifact and had been hiding it until now.
Feeling the suppressing force on his body, the white-robed youth lost his previous composure.
He could sense that the Spirit Artifact Lu Qing wielded was of no low grade and was enough to pose a threat to him.
In his panic, the white-robed youth's mind raced, wanting to activate the defensive treasure within his body to break free from this sealing force.
But just as his mind began to stir, an invisible wave landed on him, interrupting his thoughts and causing illusions to swarm before his eyes.
"Illusion technique? Break it!"
The white-robed youth was both shocked and furious. A Body Cultivator could actually use illusion techniques and even make him experience hallucinations?
Power of his Divine Soul surged, and as a Core Formation Master, the white-robed youth had an extremely strong will, instantly breaking the illusion.
But just as his mind cleared, a figure appeared before him.
Lu Qing, holding a warblade, approached the white-robed youth with icy eyes.
More importantly, the aura he exuded was incredibly terrifying, making the white-robed youth feel a deadly threat.
"No!"
The white-robed youth didn't have time for any other reaction and desperately activated his body's defensive treasure.
"Die!"
Just as the white glow appeared within the white-robed youth's body, Lu Qing's warblade struck him like thunder.
Boom!
The powerful impact directly created a violent shockwave high in the sky.
The clouds within a ten-li radius were instantly swept up and scattered.
The white-robed youth's body was directly slammed down from the sky, crashing into the dense forest below, knocking down countless trees and leaving a trail of destruction several dozen zhang long.
"Not dead? Is that a defensive treasure?"
Lu Qing slashed with his blade and instantly felt something amiss.
The white-robed youth wasn't cut in half by his strike but was blocked by an extremely resilient object.
He immediately understood that the other party must have a defensive treasure that protected him at the critical moment.
"However, even with a treasure protecting your body, my strike won't be easy to endure."
Lu Qing sensed that the white-robed youth's aura below had weakened significantly. Without hesitation, he flew down to pursue and kill him.
In the dense forest, the white-robed youth lay on his back on the ground, his chest stained with fresh blood, and his aura had diminished by more than half.
On his body was a white scaly armor that protected him, with a noticeable crack writhing as it repaired itself.
"How could this ant's strength suddenly increase so much?"
The white-robed youth's eyes were filled with both shock and fear, trembling with lingering terror.
If not for the timely intervention of the treasure armor nurtured within his Dantian, protecting its master, he would have been sliced in two by that strike, dying on the spot.
What baffled him even more was the sudden eruption of Lu Qing's strength, increasing by dozens of times, to the point of making the white-robed youth tremble in fear.
Could this be the strength of a Foundation Establishment Perfection Body Cultivator?
Could it be that this young man had been concealing his true cultivation with some secret technique?
What kind of secret technique could have escaped his Core Formation Realm's senses? The white-robed youth's mind raced with various thoughts.
He quickly popped a pill into his mouth, and the mystic power within his Core Formation Realm surged, swiftly neutralizing the pill's effects to heal himself.
Just then, Lu Qing's strike, although blocked by his treasure armor, still contained a formidable force that inflicted severe injuries.
After all, although he was at the Core Formation Realm, he followed the path of a Spellcaster.
While his physical strength was decent, it was still far inferior to that of a Body Cultivator.
The white-robed youth had just neutralized the pill's effects when his pupils suddenly contracted.
His mind raced, and several spells were cast in an instant, forming consecutive layers of ice walls and water curtains to protect himself.
But in less than a breath, all the ice walls and water curtains shattered.
Amidst the countless ice shards and water droplets, Lu Qing appeared, his body emanating a deep crimson Physical Body Radiance like flames, and even his warblade was enveloped in a layer of crimson radiance.
The entire person resembled a Flame Sovereign as he approached the white-robed youth and struck with his blade.
"Ah! Block it!"
The white-robed youth desperately channeled his condensation spells, rapidly forming multiple layers of defensive spells in front of him, attempting to block this strike.
His face contorted, his eyes red, bearing no resemblance to a Core Formation Realm Sage.
But just as the spell was about to take shape, an invisible shockwave surged into his mind, shaking his spirit and filling his vision with illusions.
"That illusion technique again! Break it!"
Driven by the instinct for survival, the white-robed youth's willpower became even stronger than before.
The illusions lasted only for an instant before being shattered by his Core Formation will.
But it was also in this instant that his defensive spells failed to fully materialize.
Like tearing through paper, Lu Qing's warblade easily tore through the defenses, and the blade reached his body.
This strike from Lu Qing aimed straight for his head!
But it must be said that the white-robed youth's treasure armor was indeed extraordinary.
Just as Lu Qing's warblade was about to slice through his head, the scales of the treasure armor automatically extended, shielding his skull.
Boom!
Lu Qing's strike landed squarely on the scales.
Like before, he still couldn't completely shatter the scales.
Indeed, it was a treasure armor worthy of being refined by a Core Formation Realm cultivator, indestructible.
However, the fact that the treasure armor wasn't broken didn't mean the person inside was unharmed.
"Tremor!"
Lu Qing immediately changed his technique, and in that instant, his blade trembled ten thousand times, transmitting the force layer by layer.
The power carried by Lu Qing's strike was terrifying.
Coupled with his extremely proficient bladework and the Tremor Technique's power transmission,
even if the scaly treasure armor was incredibly mysterious, it couldn't completely neutralize the attack.
Even with only a portion of the force transmitted inside, it still made the white-robed youth's head feel like it was being crushed by a mountain.
Despite the protection of mystic power, it was completely useless.
He lasted only for a breath before exploding!
