Chapter 68: "Unified Response, Not Activated."
Chapter 68: "Unified Response, Not Activated."
"Of course."
Chen Qiu's expression remained calm as he looked towards the battlefield not far away. The Demon Clan cultivators indeed appeared much stronger than their peers of the same cultivation level, each possessing the Great Perfection Realm in their cultivation arts. Their every move exuded a natural ease.
Compared to them, it was evident that those people were more suited for combat in this environment.
They didn't need to sit cross-legged to maintain their calm; instead, they could absorb Spirit Energy and cultivate their Heart Technique during the battle, achieving the same effect as his Heavenly Mandate Foundation.
Logically speaking, it was impossible to cultivate Heart Techniques during combat. After all, it was challenging to maintain a calm mind while fighting.
However, it seemed that these Demon Clan cultivators, having spent a long time in this environment, had all mastered this skill. It was as if they all had the effect of his Heavenly Mandate Foundation, just with a smaller capacity and a slightly more complicated process.
As he had released the Lightning Summoning Art hundreds of times, his control over Spirit Energy had become increasingly effortless.
He had originally planned to find a place to cultivate after leaving the Celestial Path Secret Realm, but now it seemed that the battles would allow him to enhance his control over Spirit Energy to a greater extent.
Just then—
"Swoosh!!!"
A golden light carrying immense power shot out from the crowd, directly heading towards him. Caught off guard, Chen Qiu's entire body flew uncontrollably, landing several zhang away, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Huff"
Chen Qiu took a deep breath, climbed to his feet, and rubbed his aching chest. His right arm hung limply by his side, and dozens of shattered Golden Bell Talismans slowly fell from his sleeve onto the ground.
The Golden Bell Talisman, a low-grade defensive talisman, could block a full-power attack from a Foundation Establishment First Stage cultivator.
But this single golden light had rendered two to three dozen of his Golden Bell Talismans completely useless.
"Not bad."
He lifted his head and looked towards the Demon Clan cultivator in the distance, who was grinning and beckoning him with his fingers. Then, he turned his head to the side and saw a golden arrow lying on the ground nearby. He muttered, "I need to find a way to get some protective items."
That bow and arrow must have been a high-grade Spirit Treasure, at least of the Foundation Establishment First Stage.
Being shot by it hurt a little.
However, as Chen Qiu looked at the provocative Demon Clan cultivator, he suddenly laughed. A spell clash, huh?
His fingertip trembled slightly.
The next moment—
Hundreds of lightning bolts suddenly appeared out of thin air beside him, and the dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire battlefield. In the blink of an eye, all the lightning bolts carried an extremely terrifying aura and rushed towards the Arrow Cultivator hiding within the crowd!
"Boom!"
Several explosions reverberated within the black mist.
Many Demon Clan cultivators' bodies erupted with multicolored lights, and various body protection spells, talismans, and other methods automatically activated. The originally chaotic battlefield became even more chaotic, and some sharp-eyed cultivators, their faces twisted in ferocity, charged towards Chen Qiu!
In the chaos of battle, the spellcasters were the first targets!
Moreover, this environment was extremely conducive to spellcasters' combat. Although most cultivators knew spells, their power was undoubtedly weaker than those who specialized in spellcasting. Hundreds of Demon Clan cultivators quickly abandoned their opponents and, along the way, slaughtered all the vengeful spirit beasts they encountered before rushing towards Chen Qiu!
A distance of several hundred zhang.
For these cultivators with their body techniques at full speed, it wasn't too far.
Moreover, not everyone could use their method of cultivating while fighting. Even though the Spirit Energy in this place was dense, once the energy within their Dao Foundation was depleted, they would still need to sit cross-legged and calm their minds to cultivate and recover their Spirit Energy. During this interval, spellcasters were at their weakest!
This spellcaster's cultivation seemed to be only at the Foundation Establishment First Stage, but for some unknown reason, the power of the spells he unleashed was already approaching the late Foundation Establishment Stage. Furthermore, even with the dense Spirit Energy in this place, most cultivators could only cast the Lightning Summoning Art, a common spell, four or five times before depleting their Spirit Energy.
Why can he cast spells hundreds of times in a single go?
Can the Dao Foundation within his body really contain so much Spirit Energy?
It doesn't seem to be a Talisman either.
Despite the hundred doubts in his heart, the combat experience gained over the years in the Heavenly Dao Prison made the hundreds of Demon Clan Cultivators fiercely charge out of the encirclement, rushing straight towards Chen Qiu!
In the Heavenly Dao Prison, death was impossible.
The combat experience they gained at the brink of life and death was countless.
He was merely a Spellcaster in a state of depleted Spirit Energy; the difficulty of killing him was not much higher than killing a chicken!
"Protect this Fellow Daoist!!!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
At the same time—
Several loud roars also continuously echoed in the center of the battlefield. At this moment, the black mist outside the city gates had thinned considerably, gradually improving visibility.
The black mist was composed of dense Spirit Energy, and with so many people frantically absorbing it without restraint, it naturally thinned. Spirit Energy from all directions was now constantly surging towards this place.
Many of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Fufeng City also realized a problem: this unknown Spellcaster was clearly not an ordinary one. With such means, he must have come from a great family or a major sect, and he definitely possessed a Supreme Treasure above the Foundation Establishment grade!
In such a situation where the Spirit Energy was so dense that it was almost condensed into a tangible form, the role of a top-tier Spellcaster was immense.
The Demon Clan Cultivators could sense this issue.
The others naturally did so as well.
They must protect this Spellcaster and ensure he doesn't die at the hands of the Demon Clan Cultivators; only then would their chances of victory be slightly higher. After a brief clash, they all realized that these Demon Clan Cultivators, whether in combat experience or cultivation realm, far surpassed them!
If there were no unexpected changes, they were almost certainly going to die here as sacrificial pawns.
Thus, the originally chaotic battlefield instantly gained some order. Numerous Demon Clan Cultivators charged straight towards Chen Qiu's side, while the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators remaining in Fufeng City rushed over with anxious expressions, intending to protect Chen Qiu behind them and give him a chance to recover his Spirit Energy.
"Should we retreat?"
The Scholar sat cross-legged on the longsword, appearing beside Chen Qiu. He floated in midair, frowning as he said, "Why don't we move away from here first and then return to fight after recovering our Spirit Energy?"
He actually quite liked this environment.
Here, he could sit cross-legged on the longsword, which made him feel less like a useless person. The density of Spirit Energy here was even enough to help him regain his past glory as the Great Xia's first Sword Cultivator.
"No need," Chen Qiu said as he stood in his original spot, his green robe fluttering in the wind. He calmly gazed at the hundreds of Demon Clan Cultivators charging straight towards him from a distance, slowly raising his right arm and spreading his five fingers, aiming his palm at the hundreds of Cultivators.
After a brief pause, he spoke softly.
"Unified recovery, not open."
The next instant—
The Dao Foundation, which had already recovered all its Spirit Energy, began to spin frantically again. Hundreds of lightning bolts instantly surged out of his body and hovered in midair, but they didn't strike out. Instead, they spun alongside the Heavenly Mandate Foundation.
The lightning gathering around him grew more and more.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands!
