330 Chapter 329-ancestor versus ancestor

Bai Nantian only had one comment for the battle before him: It was so disgusting that he wanted to vomit!

He had never fought such a depressing battle in his life.

The swordsmanship that he was so proud of was like a joke. The sword was fast enough, but when it hit the ancient Emperor’s body, it was like a needle stabbing into steel. It couldn’t cause any effective damage at all. He didn’t know what the tiny mark it left was.

On the other hand, Bai Nantian did not dare to resist the attack of li yunzhe’s living corpse.

Once the body of a Dharma adept was close enough, he could swing his fist and summon the fist aura formed by spiritual Qi. If he were to hit him directly, he would be seriously injured even if he used all his strength to defend.

Don’t ask him how he knew.

At that time, he felt that he was going to die, or at the very least, he would be seriously injured. But fortunately, at the last moment, a layer of wood property spiritual Qi suddenly poured into his body. After he suffered a heavy blow from the fist aura, this part of the vitality that poured in bore a considerable amount of damage for him.

It was definitely Lu Qing’s doing.

But even so, the overflowing aftermath of the damage still made him vomit a mouthful of blood.

However, a warm vital essence soon covered his body and quickly repaired his injuries.

Bai Nantian could not help but be impressed. Lu Qing’s Wood true elemental energy had a really strong supporting effect. There were defensive methods, fake life forms, healing effects, and even the amplification of true essence.

Bai Nantian was especially pleased with the latter.

Under Lu Qing’s amplification, he could clearly feel that his true essence was being mobilized much more smoothly than usual. This was reflected in the fact that his sword moves were executed more smoothly and faster. Their power had also increased to a certain extent.

If it was in the past, he would have felt extremely good.

However, the Yingying’s ancient Emperor’s body was simply too sturdy. He couldn’t even move it.

To put it bluntly, he felt that his position in this battle was dispensable. They could only stay by Lu Qing’s side and act as his assistants and wingmen to carry out some distracting attacks.

In comparison, the strength that Lu Qing displayed was much higher.

They both activated their swords and slashed forward, but the power they unleashed was a level higher than his. He could only create a sword mark, but Lu Qing could at least create a wound. Even though The Living Corpse could immediately heal the wound.

But he was still stronger than him.

Now, from Bai Nantian’s perspective, he felt that Lu Qing was an all-rounder.

The power of the wood true essence enveloped the two of them, completing all kinds of enhancement effects. The magic sword that Lu Qing called the Platinum holy sword was controlled by him. It carried an extremely sharp sword aura and slashed at the ancient Emperor’s body from various angles. At the same time, a star would fall from the sky from time to time, smashing li yunzhe’s corpse and blasting it away. The intense silver-green flames continued to enshroud the other party’s body.

His support was excellent, and he was more powerful than himself in the path of sword cultivation. More importantly, he also had a particularly powerful spell technique!

It was already very rare for ordinary cultivators to reach the extreme in one aspect. Before he witnessed Lu Qing’s abilities with his own eyes, Bai Nantian could not believe that there was someone who could do so many things and was proficient in all of them!

Moreover, the battle had been going on for almost six hours. Bai Nantian felt as if he was gasping for breath. He had used up a lot of his vital essence. It was thanks to Lu Qing’s Wood vital essence that he was able to maintain a good condition until now.

He could sense that Lu Qing had used all sorts of techniques without stopping. Lu Qing should have used up more energy than he did. However, Lu Qing still looked like he was doing it with ease. It was as if that bit of energy he had used was nothing.

What was this? Bai Nantian’s concept of endurance in battle had been renewed once again.

However, Lu Qing did not have it as easy as Bai Nantian had imagined. The huge consumption of true essence was actually quite a bit of pressure on him.

His true energy reserves were indeed much more than Bai Nantian’s, who was a realm higher than him. However, his energy consumption in this battle was much higher than Bai Nantian’s.

The reason why he was able to hold on until now was mainly because of three recovery methods: Divine power of stars, falling stars, and fire of the Starwood.

The former was a divine power that could allow Lu Qing to connect to the starry sky and receive an endless supply of star power.’Falling stars’ had the ability to transform the energy of the falling meteors into star power after they hit the enemy for Lu Qing to absorb. In addition, the wood true essence of the creation book could attach itself to the enemy’s body, steal, convert life force, and spiritual energy to replenish the user’s body. This made the recovery ability of this move very strong.

As for the recovery effect of the Starwood sword fire, it was entirely dependent on the effects of the creation book.

The many recovery methods stacked together allowed Lu Qing to use and recover his true origin quickly.

However, he had also fallen into a similar situation as Bai Nantian.

If you summoned a falling star from the sky, you could send an ancient Emperor flying, but he could immediately adjust his posture and rush back. The Platinum holy sword, this holy artifact Relic, was very powerful, but it was not the original, after all. The sword soul within was incomplete, only at the level of a fifth step. The sword technique that was activated from this was very destructive and could hit nascent soul cultivators accurately. However, it was also difficult to make a decisive blow against The Living Corpse of an ancient Emperor.

As for the fire of Starwood Kasaya, it was even more unreliable.

The fire of Starwood looked quite fierce. It continued to wrap around the ancient Emperor, making him look like a man of fire. However, the only effect it could cause was to make the other party look like a man on Fire. It could also steal some true essence to replenish Lu Qing’s own body. As for the real damage, it was negligible.

Li yunzhe, The Living Corpse of an ancient Emperor, was really too resistant to beatings.

After six hours of fighting, Lu Qing roughly determined that this fellow did not even have a remnant soul, let alone a complete divine soul. It only had a bit of fighting instinct. In such a state, The Living Corpse could hardly cast any spell. He only had one method of attack, and that was to swing his fist at Lu Qing and Bai Nantian. Then, the spiritual Qi was compressed to the extreme, forming a fist aura that surged forward.

The closer the fist aura was, the stronger the damage. However, even if they were far away, a true nascent soul cultivator like Bai Nantian would be severely injured if he was hit.

Lu Qing was in a better state. After he reached the nascent Soul Stage, he could use the ‘Heaven’s Fate preservation spell’, a top-tier defensive technique from the’ Book of Fate’, on himself. Lu Qing’s current appearance was like that of a person wearing wooden armor. His defense was very strong. Moreover, the Dragon Soul he was sitting on had been covered by the heavensguard Life spell and had turned into a wood Dragon.

Lu Qing was able to withstand the energy fists that were thrown at him from a distance. He could also merge himself into the dragon Soul if it was slightly closer. He would basically be free of the double heaven guarding Life spell.

However, even with this top-notch divine-grade defensive spell, Lu Qing did not dare to let The Living Corpse get close to him and land a punch on him. A punch right in the face was probably as powerful as a full-force blow from a cultivator at the peak of the Yuanying stage. If it was not handled well, it might really kill him.

However, with Lu Qing’s methods and The Living Corpse’s lack of any spells or moves, it was unlikely that it would be able to touch Lu Qing.

This living corpse only knew how to attack in a straightforward manner. Even if Lu Qing did not have the means to destroy it in one fell swoop, it would not be a problem for him to find a way to force it to retreat and direct its attacks to the side.

The battle slowly came to a stalemate.

No one could do anything to the other.

However, Lu Qing was actually anxious.

This time, he directly used the only high-star resurrection exchange item on hand. This resurrection time was completely different from the previous two resurrection. The time limit of six hours had been reduced to three days.

This was an increase of more than ten times. Furthermore, Lu Qing was now relying on the experience training mode and had the clan’s cultivators run around. This was considered to have given him a Ward and allowed him to teleport as he wished. This also saved him the time he had to travel after he was resurrected.

At first, he thought that with three days ‘time, he would be able to arrive at Yan city, and that would be enough time to resolve this matter.

That was indeed the case at the beginning, but now that he had encountered this living corpse, he truly felt that it was troublesome.

If he continued to fight, Lu Qing was confident that he could make the ancient Emperor use all sorts of methods to attack him without being able to touch him. He would gradually wear down the emperor’s strength. In any case, he didn’t have to worry about the problem of endurance by relying on various recovery methods. As for this living corpse, no matter how strong its body was, it was still not a living person. In essence, it was still a refined corpse puppet. The longer it was beaten, the weaker the restrictions placed on it would be.

When the power of the restriction completely dissipated, The Living Corpse naturally couldn’t move.

...

Furthermore, even though The Living Corpse had the body of a Dharma adept and had extremely strong defense, the damage that Lu Qing and the others dealt was still a little, no matter how little it was. With this little bit of accumulation, in the end, it would probably be able to completely destroy this corpse of the Dharma stage.

However, he really did not have that much time to waste on Lu Qing.

Whether it was to wear down the restriction or to destroy the body of a Dharma adept, according to his historical site, it would take a long time and accumulate damage bit by bit to do so.

However, while he had spent a little effort to deal with zou ziwu previously, Lu Qing had waited an entire day for the arrival of his two sacred artifacts before he faced this Dharma adept. It also took a day to dispel the strength of the platform’s defensive formation. In addition, he had been fighting with The Living Corpse for six hours. After that, he only had 16 hours left to revive.

16 hours was definitely not enough for Lu Qing to slowly accumulate damage and kill The Living Corpse of the ancient Emperor.

A Dharma adept was truly terrifying.

According to Lu Qing’s own estimation, he had relied on his many talents, magical powers, and the ‘immemorial creation rising star sword technique’, which was a combination of three divine-grade cultivation techniques, to far surpass nascent soul realm experts of the same level. Even if he was only at nascent soul state level 1, he could beat up anyone at the early stage of nascent soul state, be it Level 1,2 or 3.

For example, zou ziwu. This guy was a level three expert, and he had a level six spirit vein array behind him, providing him with an endless supply of spirit Qi. Even so, after Lu Qing made his move, he was killed without any room for resistance.

This was normal.

The biggest factor was, of course, that Lu Qing’s combat abilities were indeed very powerful with the various buffs he had. Another point was that the various functions of his current cultivation technique were very strong. It was very difficult to be targeted, and it was very easy to target others.

No one in the early Yuanying stage could be his match.

...

Lu Qing felt that he had a chance of fighting and even winning against those in the intermediate stage of the nascent Soul Stage, which was the fourth, fifth, or sixth level of the nascent Soul Stage. Even if he encountered a master of the late Yuanying stage, as long as he was not at the peak Yuanying stage, he could always escape.

This was actually very exaggerated. In the later stages of the path of cultivation, the difference between each minor level would be greater. On the one hand, the power required to level up at each minor level far exceeded the previous levels. On the other hand, those who could walk to the later stages of the cultivation path, which one of them wasn’t a genius? In the early stages, it was easy to find some mediocre people to hang and beat. However, at the Yuanying stage, those who could cultivate to this level were all geniuses. They all had their own abilities, and hanging and beating them up was not so easy.

But even so, Lu Qing still felt helpless when he faced li yunzhe.

Even if he was dead, a refined body at the materialization realm could still have such a strong Kasaya.

Since there was no hope of completely destroying this physical body, Lu Qing could only think of other ways.

His eyes were fixed on the breakthrough platform itself behind The Living Corpse.

If I can’t get rid of the zombies, I’ll just go to this platform.

In any case, their main goal was to stop li Shiwen from breaking through, not to dig up his ancestor.

When Lu Qing’s gaze landed on the breakthrough platform, silver-green flames started burning on the platform as he wished.

The defensive spell formation of the platform was still there. The Starwood sword fire couldn’t burn into the platform at once. It could only appear on the surface and quickly spread in all directions, as if it wanted to surround the entire platform and burn it together.

Previously, Lu Qing had tried to attack the breakthrough platform behind him. However, every time he tried to do so, The Living Corpse would destroy it. His speed was so fast that the meteorites summoned by Lu Qing were shattered with a single punch. The Dragon Fire shot out and he blocked it with his body. The flying sword slashed out, but someone caught up and used his body to block it.

However, there was no way to block the Starwood sword fire.

The Living Corpse, li yunzhe, was prepared to charge at Lu Qing for the umpteenth time. However, the fire behind him forced him to turn around and charge back. Energy burst out from his hand and instantly extinguished a large ball of Star Fire.

But so what?

Immediately, new flames were added.

In fact, Lu Qing could not even be bothered to attack The Living Corpse. The Dragon Soul under him and the various means he used were all directed at the defense array of the platform.

The Living Corpse did not have the time to attack Lu Qing and Bai Nantian. It continued to run for its life, blocking Lu Qing’s various attacks.

It was true that most of Lu Qing’s attacks would be blocked. However, the occasional one that slipped through would always be able to deal a certain amount of damage to the defensive formation. Among them, the Starwood sword fire was the most difficult to guard against. Although this thing was not very destructive to the formation when it was burned, the advantage was that the flame was directly ignited in sight and could not be stopped.

Bai Nantian, who was standing at the side, had also regained his senses.

The magic sword in his hand also pointed at the defensive formation and began to attack.

Once the formation was broken, everything would be over!

When Lu and Bai changed their strategy and started to aim at the platform behind them, the entire battle situation changed. The exhausted living corpses were unable to stop all the attacks. The defensive strength of the entire formation was slowly but steadily decreasing.

From the looks of it, the defensive formation would be broken in four hours at most!
