Chapter 361 - 209: The Primordial Void Fire
Translator: 549690339
This was not the performance of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
At this moment, Shi Heng had an ominous feeling in his heart. He had a feeling that this assassination wouldn’t go smoothly; maybe one of the three of them would get injured, or even… die.
Various thoughts sprouted as Shi Heng’s dark blade broke apart.
Seeing his companions attacking Han Yi’s afterimage in the next moment, his heart grew even colder.
Fast, too fast.
With such strength, there was no doubt that Lu Jie was the one killed by him.
In an instant, Shi Heng elevated Han Yi to the highest level of importance. He rose from the ground and swung his knife wildly in the air while suspended thirty meters above ground.
One slash.
Ten slashes.
Hundred slashes…
Fast, faster, and even faster, to the extreme.
In that instant, Shi Heng had swung more than nine hundred slashes. The subsequent slashes were piled onto the previous ones, making the blade light more substantial and condensed, resulting in a destructive atmosphere that escalated exponentially.
From afar, both sides of Shi Heng’s body had formed semicircular screens due to the speed of his swings. An incredible horror filled the scene, as if hundreds of arms had grown out of his body in a flash.
In front of him, a crescent-shaped blade of darkness hung in the air like a black moon, expanding continuously.
In just one breath, the blade was already more than twenty meters in size, and with a slight tremble, it fell toward the hollow cylinder formed by the Golden Thunder Ruler below.
Dividing the time.
One instant was composed of twenty thoughts, and one thought had twenty moments.
From the moment Han Yi stepped out of the palace and was hit by various magic skills, to when he broke the Nine Spirits Killing Array with the Fire Dominance Flame Talisman and then condensed the Wind and Fire Shields to block the onslaught, everything had happened within less than eight thoughts, not even lasting one instant.
Then.
During the brief encounter, the three Golden Core cultivators changed their moves instantly. Wen Zhen pushed out the Golden Thunder Ruler, triggering the Taixu Fire Talisman; Pang Li retrieved all the battle flags and pressed them down, while Shi Heng rose into the sky to fuse together more than nine hundred slashes into one powerful strike.
In a blink of an eye, the attack landed.
On the other side.
At the core, where murderous intent converged.
Time went back eight thoughts.
As the golden light and the heavy pressure bore down on him, Han Yi didn’t have a clear grasp of the situation in that instant because the time allowed for thinking was also minimal.
But he knew that to break through this restrictive formation, he needed to find the six nodes hidden in the space under the pale gold light where spiritual energy was flowing.
So, without hesitation, he used his only third-stage Spiritual Talisman, the Fire Dominance Flame Talisman. Obtained from a Black Divine Tower cultivator, Han Yi used it without concern for its cost.
The talisman instantly shattered an invisible battle flag overhead, breaking a corner of the Nine Spirits Killing Array. Han Yi then used the two Wind and Fire Shields to block the fastest sword light and giant ruler.
After breaking a corner of the killing array, Han Yi’s body plunged into the void and vanished, leaving only an afterimage behind.
However.
The giant ruler intercepted his fleeing figure.
Then, Spiritual Talismans, sword light, and battle flags all landed again.
A deadly crisis emerged out of nowhere, causing Han Yi’s heart to palpitate.
However.
There was still no panic in his eyes.
He flipped his hand, revealing two items in his palm: an Immortal Boat model and a jade bottle.
The moment the Immortal Boat and jade bottle appeared, Han Yi threw them into the air.
In a fleeting instant, his divine consciousness pierced through the jade bottle and entered the Immortal Boat. The jade bottle shattered, and the Immortal Boat transformed from its miniature state to its normal flying state in just one thought.
Moreover.
The thought that triggered the Immortal Boat directly caused it to appear in its maximum size, a thousand meters long, hovering about ten meters above the ground.
Medium-grade artifact, Heavenly Immortal Level Boat.
Generally speaking, in the Cultivation World, the most significant function of an Immortal Boat was travel, while its defensive and offensive abilities required additional enchantments to be carved onto the boat.
However, since Immortal Boats were too large, the defensive and offensive formations engraved on them would be scattered, making the loss outweigh the gain.
But.
For artifact-level Immortal Boats, their materials were unique and inherently possessed a certain level of defensive capabilities.
At this moment, the Heavenly Immortal Level Boat Han Yi threw out was a medium-grade artifact-level item, comparable to the Jade Level Immortal Boat of the White Jade Tower and the Sky Immortal Boat of the Southern Dipper Divine Palace.
Furthermore.
His method of using the medium-grade artifact-level Immortal Boat as a shield to block the attacks was completely unexpected by Wen Zhen and the others.
After all, this was a medium-grade artifact. With such decisiveness and not caring about the price of the Immortal Boat, Han Yi’s resolve was truly shocking.
However.
Time was too short.
When the Immortal Boat manifested.
It had already pushed open the hollow cylinder formed by the Golden Thunder Ruler.
Next.
The attack landed on the Immortal Boat.
The Taixu Fire Talisman-formed lightning-like fire pierced through the Immortal Boat and fell to the ground below. But after being blocked by the Immortal Boat, Han Yi had enough time to dodge the attack and leave his original position.
The black sword light also landed on the Immortal Boat but could not cut through it. Instead, it hit the control center of the ship, destroying its core components..
