Chapter 441: The Strong Ones' Secret Weapons! Each More Bizarre Than the Last (Part 2)
Chapter 441: The Strong Ones' Secret Weapons! Each More Bizarre Than the Last (Part 2)
With each step, the Colorful Cloud Shoes activated the power of Spacetime Dao, allowing him to traverse time and space, navigate through various deadly formations, and approach the elder amidst the relentless onslaught.
Upon seeing this, Lin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"This fighting style..."
"A true tycoon among tycoons. If he's not a second-generation immortal, he must be a master artificer."
"Moreover, he must have visited the Multiverse Abyss before. Otherwise, even if he had exhausted all the resources in an ordinary world, he wouldn't have enough to forge so many Imperial Weapons."
Even Lin Fan was 'scared' by this revelation!
Damn! This guy is literally 'dripping with jewels and treasures', possessing countless artifacts! He had over a dozen Imperial Weapon shields.
The auxiliary gem on top of his headgear was also an Imperial Weapon! His shoes, clothes, pants, bracelets, belt, necklace...
Everything was an Imperial Weapon!
He was truly adorned with countless treasures.
"This is fucking ridiculous. Even the top cultivators in the Xianwu Continent would be envious. Their eyes would probably bulge out, and they'd drool for three thousand feet."
"He's truly..."
"What a show-off!"
"Furthermore, these are just a fraction of his treasures. I have no doubt that he has backup and replacement items for everything, meaning he has at least two sets of everything."
"And what he's displaying now is just a portion of his collection. He hasn't even used any offensive artifacts..."
At this critical moment, as the two continued to approach each other, Lin Fan couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, you're truly the epitome of a tycoon. May I ask your Dao name?"
"I don't have a particular Dao name."
The elder smiled, "But in our world, they call me Daoist Treasure."
"..."
Lin Fan's mouth twitched, and he exclaimed, "Indeed, a fitting name!"
This Daoist Treasure was not the same as the Daoist Treasure from the Honghuang System, but he had acquired so many treasures in the 'Lower Realm'. His body was adorned with more than three Imperial Weapons... Being called Daoist Treasure was indeed an apt name.
"And what about you, Fellow Daoist?"
"It's only with the help of these treasures that I possess such strength. You, on the other hand, have truly opened my eyes."
"And you?"
Lin Fan smiled, "I'm just an ordinary Lin Fan."
"Just an ordinary mortal, huh?" Daoist Treasure couldn't help but twitch in admiration.
His heart stirred with murmurs.
Meanwhile, a third person began to unleash their power! He was a Body Cultivator.
Possessing ancient barbarian blood, his body radiated a fierce light, and in a short time, countless runes covered his entire body, causing it to suddenly swell by three sizes!
Originally, he had a physique like Schwarzenegger, but in an instant, he transformed into a 'primitive man' from the manga 'Fangtooth', and his figure was even more exaggerated than the primitive man's.
"Hmm!"
He opened his mouth, and with just a low growl, the powerful sound waves instantly dispersed the incoming attacks.
Then, he half-crouched on the ground, like a prowling beast.
Boom! He exerted force with both his hands and feet.
The spaces where his hands and feet touched instantly shattered, and he himself accelerated to maximum speed, charging towards the elder! As he moved, he continuously waved his fists and sharp claws.
All the oncoming attacks were blocked and torn apart!
...
"Hmph!"
A muffled grunt.
The 'Sword Sphere' also transformed.
Over a dozen 'Immortal Swords' flew out and then merged into one, forming a giant sword! A sword immortal's shadow appeared alongside it, and together, they broke through all attacks and charged towards the elder!
"Oh?"
"You three are not bad!"
Seeing Lin Fan, Daoist Treasure, and the Body Cultivator simultaneously attacking him, the elder grunted, and a brilliant light shone in his eyes!
Although most of the runes on his body had already disappeared, the remaining ones began to move.
Some of the runes lit up but didn't fade.
At the same time, he took a step forward, facing the Body Cultivator who was charging towards him!
The Body Cultivator was the closest and thus the fastest to reach him. The elder's body was emaciated, but instead of retreating, he advanced towards the powerful Body Cultivator with barbarian blood!
"Die!"
The Body Cultivator roared.
His voice was like the roar of an ancient ferocious beast, capable of scaring away countless ferocious beasts.
A fist clashed with a fist!
One fist was as big as a punching bag, while the other was as small as an egg.
Behind the punching bag-sized fist was a bulging muscle, even more exaggerated than what technology and steroids could achieve—a 'perverted' arm.
The egg-sized fist was connected to an emaciated arm, and beyond that was a bone-thin arm.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was surprised.
They couldn't understand why the elder was putting himself in such a perilous situation.
Although not all Body Cultivators had extremely exaggerated physiques, there was absolutely no Body Cultivator with a body as thin as a skeleton.
Unless they had been 'starved' for many years, without spiritual energy or immortal power to replenish, their muscles would have been consumed... But this elder was clearly not in such a state.
Such a physical disparity, and yet they were engaging in a physical clash?
It was indeed a bizarre situation!
Only Lin Fan seemed to understand something.
"He's clearly using some kind of formation power, but the runes on his body haven't disappeared..."
Just as he thought of this, the two completely mismatched fists clashed together.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!!!
There was only one punch, but it echoed with three loud booms! The space around them froze, and then it shattered.
The Barbarian Body Cultivator's sinister smile vanished abruptly.
He stared at the Elder in disbelief...
That punch...
How could the other party remain unscathed?
"This is impossible!"
He couldn't believe it.
What kind of strength did he possess?
With this punch, how many people in the mortal realm could withstand it directly?
Even the weakest of the Nine Tribulation Loose Immortals would be blasted to death by his fist! Ordinary Ten Tribulation Loose Immortals would be injured, and if they dared to take the hit like this withered elder, at the very least, one of their arms would be shattered!
But the Elder remained completely unharmed, and he hadn't even taken a step back!
Only the space behind him had shattered.
But this...
It was obviously wrong and impossible!
"Just a brute, how could he understand the mysteries of the Great Dao?"
The Elder responded calmly, slightly retracting his fist and then unleashing another punch, like a close-range strike, with even greater speed.
Boom!!!
The Barbarian Body Cultivator was instantly sent flying backward at a faster speed than before, engulfed by countless wounds, even though his physical body was robust. Blood gushed out!
"As expected!"
Lin Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
His right eye observed everything clearly.
Although his Eye Technique hadn't been named yet and, in his opinion, it wasn't fully perfected, it already possessed numerous abilities!
Like perceiving various subtle changes.
He clearly saw that, in the instant of the clash, the tattoos on the Elder's back lit up, forming a special array!
This array existed in a unique form that Lin Fan couldn't quite discern at the moment.
However, he could deduce that it was a 'borrowing power' array.
It borrowed the strength of heaven and earth, drawing upon the power of the surrounding world to empower himself, allowing him, despite not being a body cultivator and having a withered body, to possess even more terrifying strength than the Barbarian Body Cultivator during that moment!
He...
Didn't rely on his physical strength but instead used the power boosted by the array!
This was another form of 'cheating'.
But what they were competing in wasn't the strength in a specific field but absolute combat power.
Lin Fan saw through this but couldn't accuse him of anything.
He slightly reduced his speed.
His eyes fixed on the Barbarian Body Cultivator.
The Barbarian Body Cultivator was severely injured, his body covered in wounds.
Blade cuts, sword scars, burns, and lightning strikes...
He looked pitiful.
But his strength was formidable, and his reputation wasn't unearned!
Although he appeared miserable, his injuries were all minor.
At this moment, he was still muttering to himself, repeating 'impossible,' and Lin Fan guessed that the psychological blow was probably even greater for him right now!
"It's not that difficult."
He muttered to himself.
Most Body Cultivators didn't have so many diverse methods, and those who chose this path, aside from a few 'extreme enthusiasts,' did so out of necessity, having no other options...
Cultivation required talent!
Those lacking talent in other aspects naturally had to choose Body Cultivation.
And if one's talent in other areas equaled their talent for Body Cultivation, most people wouldn't choose this path.
Body Cultivation was also one of the 'Great Dao' and a 'classic path,' well-rounded in all aspects. With sufficient talent, one could even become a Saint or Patriarch.
But the problem was...
It was genuinely too arduous.
And too tiring.
Even cultivation required constant struggle. During body refinement, one was either injured or severely wounded...
And in the early stages, they were weaker than other cultivators of the same level in different systems.
Ordinary cultivators had various skills, including sword flight techniques, diverse spells, arrays, talismans, pills, and magical treasures...
Body Cultivators generally didn't possess any of these skills!
At least not in the early or even middle stages.
Once they engaged in combat...
A Body Cultivator might only need one punch to disable a fellow cultivator of the same level, but the prerequisite was landing the hit.
To hit the target, one had to get close first.
To get close, one had to endure the opponent's various skills and onslaught.
Even if they landed a hit...
Who knew if the opponent had protective magical treasures?
Body Cultivators...
Were indeed at a disadvantage.
But late-stage Body Cultivators were formidable.
They could withstand most, if not all, attacks from fellow cultivators of the same level and even force their way through. Once they got close, ordinary cultivators were no match for Body Cultivators.
That's what had just happened!
Despite the terrifying arrays and astonishing methods, the Barbarian Body Cultivator withstood them all and even reached his opponent without a scratch!
And the opponent...
Dared to engage in a fistfight with him? This seemed absurd and insulting.
You, a withered old man, want to fistfight with me, a Body Cultivator? How much do you look down on me?!
If my punch doesn't knock the crap out of you, I'll consider myself a failure!
But after the punch...
It was he who was sent flying, while the Elder remained unscathed...
This was a significant blow to someone who had endured countless hardships to reach this point.
"This old man..."
"On purpose?"
Lin Fan suddenly realized that the old man was likely doing it intentionally!
Old age brings wisdom! When he attacked, it wasn't just a superficial strike; he was also attacking his opponent's mental state!
Attacking the heart! He was challenging Lin Fan's resolve by engaging in a body cultivator's duel, blasting him away with a punch to test his mental fortitude!
"So..."
Without evidence, Lin Fan was convinced that this was the case.
At that moment, the Sword Immortal's offensive also arrived.
The Sword Immortal merged with his sword, and his aura and giant sword seemed to fuse as they slashed down at the Elder with overwhelming force!
Boom!
The space around the Elder trembled violently, and a pre-arranged protective array lit up, blocking and holding back the sword strike.
But this array also trembled, on the verge of shattering.
"A Sword Cultivator?"
"Although Sword Cultivators are strong, it's still a minor path, a deviation from the main road."
The Elder muttered, chuckling as if expressing disdain for Sword Cultivators.
"Moreover, your Sword Dao..."
"It's a bit too flashy for my liking. How about I teach you a thing or two about using the sword?"
He raised his hand, disregarding the wailing protective array and forming a sword with his fingers.
Behind him, another part of his tattoos lit up...
Hua!
The sword's humming shook the heavens! At this moment, it was as if a heavenly sword descended and converged upon his sword finger, its chilling intent almost piercing through the entire world.
"This sword..."
"It doesn't have a name."
"It's mainly because I'm too lazy to name it, but it's more than enough to deal with you."
With those words, he pointed and unleashed his attack.
It was executed with effortless grace.
And with elegance!
But this astonishing sword beam instantly tore through the air, clashing with the giant sword slashed by the Sword Immortal, their sword tips meeting in a fierce confrontation!
Subdued!
This sword beam was incredibly restrained.
There was no rampant sword qi filling the sky, no wandering or swirling sword intent.
Yet its power was terrifying!
Hua!!!
After a brief stalemate, the giant sword shattered, and the Sword Immortal's illusory figure dissipated! The sword beam continued to break through the air, hurtling towards the 'Sword Sphere'.
The sword sphere shone, and numerous swords were slashed out.
But even so, they couldn't completely stop this sword beam.
Ding!
Crack!!!
Countless Immortal Swords were crushed by this sword beam, causing the sword sphere to become partially damaged!
The Sword Immortal's face was filled with shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
"You!!!"
"How can you have such astonishing Sword Dao prowess?"
"I can't sense even a hint of the true essence of Sword Dao from you. You're definitely not a Sword Cultivator! This is impossible!"
"Why is it impossible?"
The elder scoffed, "I've roamed the martial world for over a hundred thousand years. Sword Cultivators and Sword Dao? They're just a minor path. I've explored and practiced it, but I discarded it like worn-out shoes."
"Right now, it's just a temporary itch, a fleeting interest."
Upon hearing this, the Sword Immortal's pupils shrank to the size of needles.
His Dao heart was on the verge of collapsing!
His pride in Sword Dao was being belittled by an old man!
Moreover, the old man's Sword Dao expertise was no less than his own, and he even claimed that Sword Dao was a minor path?
This!!!
......
"As expected!"
"This guy is attacking our hearts!"
"He knows it's not that easy to make others' Dao hearts crumble, but he'll definitely make them question their lives in a short time, delaying the situation and creating opportunities for himself."
"Indeed, he's a cunning old fox."
Lin Fan's brows furrowed.
Evidence?
At this point, evidence was unnecessary; the facts were right before their eyes.
"Moreover, the 'Miniature Array'... I've also tried condensing the array patterns into a small space, and I even succeeded in developing it. But it's clear that I'm just a beginner; he's the true master of this art!"
"If I have the chance..."
Lin Fan was impressed by the old man's methods!
Although it's often said that quality is more important than quantity when it comes to techniques, having both quality and quantity is undoubtedly better. Moreover, these techniques are genuinely useful. Once mastered, they could make one a formidable force.
However, the situation was not yet favorable. Lin Fan muttered to himself, considering the circumstances.
As Lin Fan was pondering, Duobao's actions caught his attention. Duobao didn't bother with any 'formalities'! He simply raised his shield and charged forward, waving his hand!
Buzz!
Space distorted, and at the same time, a large number of...
Indeed, a vast array of magical treasures appeared!
They were all offensive weapons with unique designs: swords, guns, axes, hooks, and more. There was an abundance of them.
There were also some special magical treasures, such as those resembling stones, large seals, ancient cauldrons, small towers, and more, all in significant quantities.
In fact, axes, hooks, and the like were already considered rather special magical treasures.
Most cultivators had rather 'singular' preferences.
To be precise, it was a matter of 'inheritance' rather than preference.
The most commonly used weapon was, of course, the sword.
There were many advantages: one could fly with it, engage in combat, and it was incredibly cool. But the main reason was that there were numerous Sword Dao inheritances! Almost every world had a vast number of Sword Dao inheritances, so even if cultivators weren't Sword Cultivators, their weapons were mostly swords.
Next were offensive weapons like knives and guns.
Although these magical treasures weren't undisputed first choices like swords, they were still relatively common.
As for the others...
They were generally less popular.
The main reason was the scarcity of inheritances.
Take axes, for example.
Axe inheritances were indeed rare, and even if they existed, they weren't particularly impressive.
Even axes were considered better off; in many worlds, one might occasionally hear a legend or two about a powerful figure associated with axes.
But 'halberds, hooks, and the like'...
Those were truly esoteric cold weapons.
Most cultivators wouldn't encounter these things in their entire lives.
Inheritances...
It was likely that one couldn't find a complete inheritance in an entire world. Without inheritances, who would bother with these things? Consequently, these esoteric magical treasures, even if their quality was the same or higher than common 'sword and knife' magical treasures, their prices were significantly lower.
However, for Duobao, this wasn't an issue.
Cheap? Even better!
He didn't rely on inheritances.
Nor would he personally wield these esoteric weapons in combat.
He only needed to refine them thoroughly. During battles, with a mere thought, he could control them effortlessly, as he was doing now, engaging in a 'group assault'! He didn't even need to perform precise operations.
He simply overwhelmed them with numbers! With a thought, the special effects of his magical treasures filled the sky. There were countless Imperial Armaments, and they directly bombarded his opponents.
Even the elder, who had just repelled two people and was instructing the world, couldn't help but furrow his brows and twitch his mouth.
"This bastard..."
