Chapter 4794 Azure Dragon
Chapter 4794 Azure Dragon
At the moment of breakthrough, a powerful current surged from Liu Wuxie's body, sweeping across the surroundings and causing the Trial Tower to shake violently, with a large number of spatial fragments falling from all sides.
"Such powerful rule force! No wonder it is the Heavenly Golden Divine Leaf!"
Feeling the violent power within his body, Liu Wuxie said with a shocked expression.
The cultivators outside the arena looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes filled with fear as they gazed at the Trial Tower.
"What a terrifying aura! Who is that person? Why is he unleashing such terrifying power of rules?"
Apart from Ke Rong and his group, even the disciples of Taihe Sect were still shaken.
Liu Wuxie spent half an hour stabilizing his realm and successfully broke through to the late stage of the third level of the Extreme Dao Earth Saint. His cultivation, combat power, physical body, and divine soul were all improved.
"That's right. Once you break through to the third level of the Extreme Earth Saint realm, the probability of passing the eighth level is even higher. With the Chasing Sun Finger and Thunder Strike, killing a cultivator at the third or fourth level of the Profound Saint realm shouldn't be difficult."
After stabilizing his realm, Liu Wuxie stood up and murmured to himself.
Using the ancient cat demon magic, he shot forward and disappeared into the seventh floor.
The eighth level of the trial tower was even better preserved. As soon as Liu Wuxie stepped in, an extremely ancient aura rushed towards him, followed by a heavy force, as if a giant mountain was pressing down on Liu Wuxie's body.
"Such powerful force! It suppressed my speed even before we started fighting."
Liu Wuxie's expression changed slightly, and he immediately activated the Primordial Devouring Heaven Technique to resist the suppression of the surrounding rules.
"call out!"
A sharp sword light shot straight at Liu Wuxie's face, incredibly fast; even lightning couldn't adequately describe the speed of this sword energy.
In a fraction of a second, the sword energy had already reached Liu Wuxie, who didn't even see who had made the move.
What followed was a sky full of sword energy, which made it difficult for Liu Wuxie to breathe. In addition to the opponent's incredibly fast sword moves, his aura also put great pressure on Liu Wuxie.
"This is the power of a Profound Saint at the fourth or fifth level. If I hadn't broken through to the third level of the Extreme Earth Saint, I would probably have been suppressed on the spot."
Before Liu Wuxie could even be surprised, the power within his body surged forth like a tidal wave, instantly reducing the pressure on his body.
He drew his Ink Shadow Sword and slashed horizontally.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
The moment the divine swords clashed, they created a tremendous ripple, like a strong wind sweeping outwards.
The rules of the eighth layer are not as severely damaged as those of the previous layers, and the shadows cast are closer to reality.
Liu Wuxie was on high alert, using the Ancient Cat Demon Technique to dodge constantly, leaving him no chance to counterattack. This was his first time fighting against a cultivator at the fourth level of the Profound Saint realm, so he lacked experience and needed to adapt.
The afterimage seemed to give Liu Wuxie no chance, launching a fierce attack from the start, forcing Liu Wuxie to retreat continuously, powerless to fight back.
"Strong, too strong. Is this the Profound Saint Realm? Compared to him, Heavenly Ghost is weaker than nothing."
He thought that the Heavenly Ghost's strength could rival that of a fourth or fifth-level Profound Saint, but now it seems that he underestimated the combat power of a Profound Saint, which was far beyond what the Heavenly Ghost could contend with.
If it weren't for mastering the Ancient Cat Demon Technique, Liu Wuxie would have already been torn to pieces by the sword energy.
"Chasing the Sun Finger!"
Left with no other choice, Liu Wuxie could only use the Chasing Sun Finger. The Dream of Yellow Millet and the Mental Storm could not harm the afterimages in front of him at all, since they were not his real body and could not be dreaming.
There is no other way but to suppress them with overwhelming force.
As the domineering finger imprint descended, forming a raging torrent, Liu Wuxie managed to turn the tide somewhat. However, completely defeating the eighth-level projection was still proving difficult.
However, Liu Wuxie did not intend to defeat the afterimage with the Chasing Sun Finger. His real killing move was Thunder Strike, which was far more terrifying than the Chasing Sun Finger.
The Chasing Sun Finger is more of a supernatural skill, while Thunder Strike is a technique.
Inside the lantern flower, the cat demon and the thunderbird carefully sensed everything around them. Although they couldn't see it, they could mimic what was happening outside through their special divine sense.
"What kind of monster is he? With his Extreme Earth Saint cultivation, he can actually withstand a Profound Saint level cultivator!"
Thunderbird didn't know much about Liu Wuxie, but at this moment, Liu Wuxie's performance completely overturned his understanding.
"You'll gradually realize that this human is not someone we can mess with. We should just listen to him obediently, and that way we'll still have a chance to survive."
After the cat demon finished speaking, it sighed helplessly.
The stronger Liu Wuxie is, the lower their chances of escaping. They only have one thought now: as long as they survive, they don't care about leaving the Demon-Subduing Tree at all.
The projected body suddenly shot out, slashing at Liu Wuxie's Chasing Sun Finger with a sword.
"boom!"
The Chasing Sun Finger was shattered instantly, turning into endless fragments of heaven and earth.
I have been practicing the Chasing Yang Finger for some time now, and it is almost always successful. Even if I cannot kill my opponent, I can suppress most of their power.
Now, not only did he fail to kill the projection in front of him, but he was also shattered by a single sword strike.
"Is the only option to use the Heavenly God Stele to suppress them, and then use Thunder Strike to kill them instantly?"
Liu Wuxie's mind raced, and he considered all sorts of methods. To kill this projection, he first needed to suppress its speed and attacks.
The projection gave Liu Wuxie no chance at all. After shattering the Chasing Sun Finger, the divine sword in its hand attacked Liu Wuxie again. This time, it was almost twice as fast as before, both in terms of speed and other attack angles.
"The Four Sword Techniques of Heaven's Fall, lend me a hand!"
This is the Trial Tower. It is impossible to rely on others to summon the Heavenly Ghosts and the Eighteen Yin Gods, but other weapons can be mobilized.
Four divine swords swiftly shot out, inserting themselves into the four positions of the eighth level, instantly forming a powerful sword formation that could suppress a portion of the projected power.
After weakening the projection's power, Liu Wuxie immediately summoned the Heavenly God Stele.
"Boom!"
The Celestial Stele was unleashed with a deafening roar, causing the entire Trial Tower to sink continuously, unable to withstand the crushing force of the Celestial Stele.
This sudden turn of events caught Liu Wuxie off guard. He hadn't expected that after not using it for over a year, the Heavenly God Stele would become so powerful, easily suppressing cultivators at the Profound Saint Realm.
"Lightning Strike!"
Liu Wuxie dared not hesitate and immediately unleashed the Thunder Strike, a technique he had only recently begun to cultivate.
Endless thunderbolts gathered from all directions.
Such an astonishing scene made Liu Wuxie gasp in surprise.
"As expected of a technique wielded by an ancient demon, this lightning-instant kill attack is many times more powerful than those Saint Yuan Techniques."
Feeling the annihilating power of the lightning, Liu Wuxie pointed his finger, and the lightning instantly transformed into a point of light, disappearing into the afterimage's head.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. If Liu Wuxie had been even slightly slower, the opponent's sword energy would have struck his body. In a way, Liu Wuxie was also taking a risk.
Fortunately, he succeeded. After the lightning strike pierced through the projection's body, the surrounding explosive air currents were slowly receding, and the projection's body gradually became illusory.
With just one strike, Liu Wuxie consumed about 70% of his Saintly Yuan Qi. The quality of the Heavenly God Stele had improved, but the amount of Saintly Yuan Qi consumed each time was an unbelievable level.
If the Great Desolate Holy Realm hadn't been powerful enough, Liu Wuxie would probably have been dried up by now.
As the afterimage slowly dissipated, Liu Wuxie gasped for breath, never expecting that he could personally defeat a cultivator at the fourth or fifth level of the Profound Saint realm.
"It's just an afterimage. In terms of reaction speed and adaptability, it can't compare to a real fourth-level Xuan Sheng cultivator. If you encounter a real fourth-level Xuan Sheng cultivator, it probably won't be so easy to defeat him."
Liu Wuxie secretly thought it was a fluke.
His advantage lay in the fact that his opponent had no thoughts of their own, and was merely a projection of an array left behind by the Trial Tower.
Without time for reflection, Liu Wuxie quickly sat down to regulate his breathing and restore his sacred energy as soon as possible.
A beam of light descended from the sky. Liu Wuxie knew this was the eighth level of reward, but he wondered what it would be and whether it could help him improve his cultivation.
If one can reach the fourth level of the Extreme Earth Saint realm, it means breaking through to the middle stage of the Extreme Earth Saint realm, and one's combat power will undergo a tremendous change.
Xu Lingxue had already completed her breakthrough. At this moment, she looked nervously at the falling box, secretly praying that the treasures inside would help her husband.
She could also see that the resources her husband needed to break through his cultivation level were becoming increasingly terrifying.
With the same treasure, others can break through several levels of cultivation in succession, while my husband can only break through one level at most.
He quickly stood up and reached out to catch the falling box. Compared to the sixth and seventh layers, the box on the eighth layer was obviously larger.
"Such a big box, it definitely doesn't contain pills, so what could it be?"
With questions in mind, Liu Wuxie carefully opened the box.
The moment the box was opened, a beam of golden light shot out, and a golden skeleton lay quietly inside. Judging from its shape, it should be a bone from a great demon, and it was covered with extremely ancient demonic patterns.
Based on just one bone, Liu Wuxie could not determine its origin.
"Cat demon, thunderbird, do you know the origin of this bone?"
Liu Wuxie took out the golden bone and delivered it to the Demon-Subduing Tree so that they could examine it and determine its origin.
"This is a section of the sternum inside the Azure Water Dragon. It contains extremely strong demonic energy, making it most suitable for the cultivation of demons. If you, Master, can bestow this item upon me, I am willing to sign a soul contract with you and be loyal to you forever."
The ancient cat demon trembled with excitement upon sensing the aura of the golden bones.
As long as his soul attaches itself to this bone, he can use it to cultivate again, and may even break through to a higher realm and break free from the control of the Demon-Subduing Tree.
Thunderbird remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Upon hearing the name Azure Water Dragon, Liu Wuxie's eyes gleamed with ecstatic joy. When his Sacred Dragon Body had advanced, he had vaguely sensed a trace of the dragon race's inheritance.
The Azure Water Dragon is also a member of the dragon race, but the Azure Water Dragon race is different from other wild dragon races. The Azure Water Dragons live in the deep sea and are accompanied by water.
If one could master a dragon-based technique, the range of skills one possessed would be greatly expanded.
The Great Star-Picking Hand and the Ice Soul Cold Palm were ultimately too weak.
The Yellow Millet Dream, the Spiritual Storm, and the Yellow Wind Cluster are techniques gleaned from the Void Realm. Some of them originated from the previous era, and without the support of the rules of heaven and earth, they have little room for growth.
Only by returning to the previous era can these techniques be further developed and popularized.
The Shadow of Wood and the Unyielding Spirit are merely minor supernatural abilities, and are of little use to Liu Wuxie.
The Primordial Cat Demon Technique and Thunder Strike are ancient demon techniques. Liu Wuxie only practiced them out of desperation. If he had orthodox human techniques, why would he have chosen to practice demon techniques?
No matter how powerful the demonic magic is, it is still demonic magic, and it is very different from the magic cultivated by humans. He can't always rely on demonic power to defeat his opponents.
However, dragons are an exception; the secret techniques they possess are far more powerful than those of ordinary humans.
