The ground trembled, large patches of yellowish soil turned into gold, and a giant, hundreds of feet tall, rose from the earth. The dust swirling in the sky gathered behind the golden giant to form a cape, flashing brilliantly with golden light that illuminated the horizon, causing the countless celestial birds in the sky to screech in alarm.
Before Mi Yang could even sort out his feelings of grief, the golden giant’s fist, enveloped in a strong gust of wind, punched down at him with an overwhelming aura of dominance.
Confronted with the fierce wind from the punch, Mi Yang exploded with Spiritual Power, turning his sadness into endless anger and fighting intent. He boldly activated his bloodline ability – Divine Wood Transformation!
A greenish glow emerged all around him, enveloping him like a small green sun, and then it plunged into the ground with him. It was like an accelerated time lapse of growth, an luminous willow tree broke out from the ground, surging upwards.
Seeing Mi Yang emanating a green glow, the golden giant swiftly changed its fist into a palm, and without hesitation, it slashed down at the ground. The action resembled a mythical giant slicing through the heavens and creating earth. It brandished its golden palm, and the friction with the Spiritual Energy of the world ignited a blazing flame. The golden palm, infused with boundless flames, ruthlessly hacked at the top of the small willow tree just as it emerged from the ground.
This palm, powerful enough to cleave a mountain, landed on the seemingly delicate and soft willow tree without any effect. The weak branches of the willow tree intertwined over the top like countless small hands. They easily parried the mountain-splitting palm, and the tiny willow tree stubbornly kept growing despite the palm pressing on top of it.
Three zhang, five zhang, ten zhang… a hundred zhang!
The luminous glow surged, a Divine Wood reached towards the sky, and in just a few breaths, the tender willow tree transformed into a towering Divine Wood. Millions of thick branches, like arms of a giant, swept away the fiery golden palm and then swung at the golden giant’s body.
The branches of the Divine spiritual willow were like countless tentacles, each containing the strength of tens of thousands of catties. When millions merged, their might was unfathomable. Faced with such a ferocious hit, the golden giant did not retreat but advanced, barging into the open center of the Divine Wood trunk. It rammed its shoulder, which was as sharp as a rhino horn, into the tree trunk.
The golden giant rammed into the towering Divine spiritual willow, and the force of billions of catties was transferred to the earth. Even if the roots of the Divine Wood extended deep into the earth, it began to sway under such a collision.
No, it was not just the Divine Wood, but the whole earth began to shudder violently. The epicenter of the quake was Jiang Lin, where the two mythical creatures had clashed.
Facing such a surging force, the Divine Wood was knocked to tilt. Seeing the results, the golden giant wanted to retreat and ram again, but the already outstretched million branches wrapped around the giant’s body like tentacles, constraining its limbs and rendering it immobile.
Witnessing the golden giant trapped, the Celestial Bird Feather Guards in the sky saw an opportunity. They pulled their longbows to full draw and hundreds of arrows trailed with a long luminescence, aiming directly at the golden giant. On the trunk of the Divine Wood, the Heart of the Tree opened like an eye, accumulating an extremely dazzling green light, and the true Divine Wood Strike explosively burst forward.
The golden giant, bound by the willow branches, could only endure this attack. The residual power of the sweeping aurora directly obliterated the upper part of the golden giant. The after-effect of the aurora polar light passed over the distant mountaintop, leveling the mountain before it finally subsided.
The remaining half of the golden giant’s body then faced a barrage of a thousand green feathered arrows from the Celestial Bird Feather Guards. Each unique arrow was capable of perfectly bearing the Mi Clan’s Green Wood True Energy. The deflected arrows from the high sky penetrated the invincible golden rock, densely covering a large area. The Greenwood True Energy attached to the arrows exploded intensively, the golden rock body that was pierced by the arrows turned a large area of the golden rock into green crystal. Tang Sen, who was hiding in the leg part of the golden rock body, knew that the golden rock body could no longer regenerate and quickly retreated into the underground through the leg of the golden giant, withdrawing the substantial spiritual power he had been supplying.
As soon as he entered the ground, he could feel the sound from all around. These were the attacks launched by the roots of the Divine Wood on him. However, to fight in the underground against a Fierce Realm’s powerhouse who had assimilated the spirit of the Earth Qilin was something the Divine Wood bloodline could not do.
The exploding Earth Control Technique turned the ground into solid golden rock. Countless roots of the Divine Wood, holding the overwhelming force, fiercely impacted the golden rock and were then restrained and forcefully broken off.
Tang Sen, who had the experience of several fights, understood that sustaining the huge physique of the Divine Wood depended not on Mi Yang’s own Spiritual Power, but on these roots that penetrated deep into the ground, continuously absorbing the Earth Spirit Energy. What he had to do now was render this entire piece of earth into golden rock, cutting off the Divine Wood’s supply, and make Mi Yang’s Divine Wood Transformation run out of Spiritual Energy to absorb!
The Earth Control Technique burst out vigorously, turning large chunks of earth into golden yellow. Deep underground several kilometers, Tang Sen, who had fused with the spirit of the Fierce Earth Qilin, roamed freely, feeling even more at ease than on the surface. After merging with the Earth Qilin spirit, the underground became his second home. His dried-up dantian recovered quickly, ten times faster than on the surface.
Like a fish swimming under the earth, his golden boulders spread even faster, binding and severing most of the roots of the Divine Willow. The Divine Wood avatar of Mi Yang was completely broken as its roots were cut off one after another.
But before the Divine Wood Avatar dissipated, Mi Yang gathered another Divine Wood strike and poured it into the ground, aimed directly at Tang Sen. However, within the depths, there was an endless amount of rock and soil that could be turned into golden boulders. The domineering strike of the Divine Wood Avatar was forcefully held back by the golden earth.
With the final strike, the Heaven-piercing Divine Willow depleted its spiritual power, dissipating into the world. Mi Yang in a green spiritual armour, with his white hair fluttering, panting heavily, stood in the void.
Not far away on the ground, a gap opened and Tang Sen, clad in Fierce Qilin Heavy Earth Armor, emerged from the earth, his breath somewhat disordered. Mi Yang’s Divine Wood Avatar required a vast amount of spiritual power, while Tang Sen’s Golden Boulder War-bodies required abundant spiritual energies and physical strength. Although the spiritual power had some restoration in the ground, his strength could not recover that quickly, hence he was exhausted.
The clash between the golden giant and the towering Divine Wood, like a myth, had in just a few exchanges, turned the nearby area of several miles into complete ruins, even leveling the peaks of mountains.
No more challenges will be issued in Xiling henceforth, because Jiang Lin no longer exists.
Both of them, stand confronting each other, not for rest and recuperation, but because the earth-shaking scale of their battle had led to the Tang and Mi clans sending their most elite warriors to reinforce.
On the north stands ten Fierce Realm squads led by the Great Elder, Tang Siyuan, and the Mi Clan on the south, equally formidable, with the First Head of the Martial Hall, Mi Hai, standing proud with thirty Fierce Realm experts. “Does the Tang Clan intend to go to war?” Mi Hai looked at Tang Sen, whose face was filled with killing intent, and coldly asked.
Mi Chu was killed, causing a shock among the higher ups and driving the entire Mi Clan into madness. Even knowing that such a question would infuriate Tang Sen, Mi Hai still asked.
Only through battle can anger be vented. The Head of the Mi family seeks a battle!
“War!”
The response was a golden light shooting up to the sky. Tang Sen didn’t bother with pleasantries and charged directly towards Mi Yang.
The thirty Fierce Realm warriors of the Tang Clan burst out with golden light, and the thirty Fierce Realm warriors of the Mi Clan swiftly separated into groups of three. Their thousand-year rivalry had given the warriors of the Mi Clan a deep understanding of the Tang Clan’s Combined Attack Technique and formed a fixed mode of counterattack.
When facing the Fierce Realm Combined Attack of the Tang Clan, they should not adopt a tight formation for defense but spread out as much as possible, stretching the distance between them.
If they could command from a higher position, it would be even better!
So, without any hesitation, the thirty Fierce Realm warriors of the Mi Clan rose steeply into the sky without stop.
A huge battle is about to break out!
