Chapter 116 Battle to build foundation 3
Zhou Huaili bit his tongue, and the intense pain allowed him to temporarily escape the interference of the Blood Fiend Flag.
With a flick of his left hand, the Spirit Mirror reappeared, its dark golden light shining on the Blood Fiend Banner above Zhang Lin's head.
He doesn't attack people, he attacks the flag first.
Once this flag is destroyed, Zhang Lin will lose half of his attack methods.
Zhang Lin reacted even faster, and the moment the mirror light shone, he struck the Soul-Suppressing Bell in his left hand again.
Ding~
The third chime was completely different from the first two.
This time, instead of using the Soul-Suppressing property, a sonic shockwave was used, and the sound of the bell exploded in my ears like a muffled thunderclap.
The sound wave was compressed into an invisible sonic cone, piercing straight into the Spirit Mirror.
The sound of bells and the reflection of mirrors collided in the air.
A visible shockwave spread outwards, lifting up rubble and sending it crashing into the ruins.
Zhang Lin was thrown back several meters by the shockwave, his back slamming into a crumbling wall.
The Azure Scale Armor and the Heavenly Blue Daoist Robe both emitted spiritual light, providing double protection and dissipating most of the force.
He steadied himself, the Blood Fiend Banner landed in his hand, and his true energy poured into it, causing a surge of blood-red light to appear on the banner.
This time, what emerged from the flag was not crimson threads, but a crimson light—the attack characteristic of the Blood Fiend Flag: the Blood Fiend Attack.
The blood-red light was dark red and viscous like paste, condensing into a blood-red beam as thick as a bowl, which blasted towards Zhou Huaili.
The Blood Fiend Attack uses true qi as a guide to activate the blood fiend qi sealed within the flag, condensing it into a direct attack.
This attack can contaminate the physical body and break through the true essence shield, and it has a remarkable effect on the protective true essence of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Zhou Huaili dared not be negligent. He formed hand seals, and the true essence shield was thickened by three layers.
A pale blue shield condensed into a solid wall of light in front of him, with the five elements' spiritual patterns faintly flowing on its surface.
The blood-red light slammed into the shield.
laugh--
The bloodthirsty aura collided violently with the true essence shield, producing a hissing sound like a red-hot iron block falling into cold water.
The shield was eroded by the bloodthirsty aura, causing cracks to appear, but Zhou Huaili continuously injected true essence, and the cracks were repaired as soon as they appeared.
He was trapped in the early stage of Foundation Establishment for ten years. Although his true essence was not very strong, the stability of his shield was far superior to that of others of the same level.
The bloodstains dissipated.
The shield is still there, but it has become 20% thinner.
Zhang Lin's heart sank.
Blood Fiend Banner's Blood Fiend attack is one of his strongest techniques, but against the true essence shield of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it can only be consumed and not penetrated.
The gap between Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cannot be bridged by one or two spiritual artifacts.
He seemed to have the upper hand in this round, but Zhou Huaili's true essence was recovering at a visible speed, while the liquid true energy in his dantian had been depleted by more than half.
Can't delay any longer.
Zhang Lin's gaze shifted to the pit where Li Xiao's body had been torn to pieces; there was no trace of blood there at the moment.
The jade ring bearing the character "Xu" rotated in his dantian, and riding the void, Zhang Lin's figure instantly split into nine on the ground, appearing in various directions.
At the same time, a fog appeared around them.
Zhou Huaili's true energy surged, and the mist instantly dissipated by more than half.
However, in that instant, Zhang Lin's true form appeared in the pit where Li Xiao had died. He reached his hands into the soil and pulled out a long sword that was swirling with blood and qi.
The ultimate magical artifact, Blood Refined Sword, has the characteristic of being bloodthirsty.
After defeating an opponent, one can absorb their blood and true energy to temporarily enhance the power of the magical weapon and benefit the swordsman.
Li Xiao's blood is that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Although most of the true essence contained within it has dissipated due to his injuries, the blood itself is still several times more concentrated than the essence blood of a Qi Refining cultivator.
He slowly pulled the longsword out of the pit, thick black blood flowing from the blood groove on the blade.
The blood of a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator is mixed with death energy and true essence, which bubble up on the sword and make a faint hissing sound.
Bloodlust trait - activated.
A dark red light suddenly shone from the blood groove on the sword, spreading from the guard to the tip.
The entire sword began to tremble slightly, its low, mournful sound like the howl of a wild beast.
The sword absorbed all the essence and blood of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the light on the sword's edge changed from dark red to an eerie blood red.
Zhang Lin felt a huge surge of energy from the longsword in his hand flow into his meridians, and his true energy was restored to 40% in an instant.
The Blood Refining Sword is the key to breaking through the True Essence Shield. It must be used in conjunction with the Soul Suppressing Bell and the Blood Fiend Flag, and struck at the most unexpected moment for Zhou Huaili.
Zhang Lin took out a top-grade Qi-restoring pill and swallowed it, and his internal energy began to rapidly recover to full capacity.
The fog completely dissipated.
Zhou Huaili immediately locked his spiritual sense onto Zhang Lin, determined to make sure he had nowhere to hide.
He once again drew upon the power of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy within a hundred feet once more converged on Zhou Huaili, causing the sounds of wind and thunder to rise again in the air.
An invisible giant hand pressed down, covering an area of ten feet in radius, determined to kill this boy.
The giant hand descended, but the moment it touched Zhang Lin's body, Zhou Huaili's vision blurred.
An invisible wave emanated from Zhang Lin, covering an area of about 100 feet in radius.
Hidden Scenery Dance in the Sky.
The moment the Hidden Earth Eight Transformations Mysterious True Barrier unfolded, Zhou Huaili felt as if the world had been turned upside down.
The invisible giant hand dissipated, and within a radius of a hundred feet, the rules of heaven and earth changed.
The surrounding scenery underwent a subtle yet complete change in an instant. The ruins were still the same ruins, and the deathly aura was still the same deathly aura, but everything seemed to be shrouded in an invisible veil.
The angle of sunlight refraction was slightly adjusted, making the shadows of each pebble on the ground longer.
The wind's direction was altered, making his spiritual perception blurry. The ratio of death energy to spiritual energy in the air was readjusted, making it much more difficult for him to draw upon the power of heaven and earth.
His spiritual consciousness was forcibly suppressed by the barrier, and his perception range was compressed from a radius of 100 zhang to less than 50 zhang.
What's even more troublesome is that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the barrier seems to have developed its own consciousness. It no longer follows his lead as before, but is slippery and uncontrollable, as if it is being held down by countless invisible hands.
Zhang Lin's figure became elusive within the barrier.
He was clearly standing in the same spot, but in Zhou Huaili's spiritual perception, his position was constantly shifting.
Move three inches to the left, five inches to the right, ten feet in front, and three feet behind, as if the barrier had copied the person into dozens of phantoms.
Within the barrier, Zhang Lin could unleash all eight transformations at will.
With a thought, he simultaneously activated Concealing Form and Soaring Through the Void, his figure transforming into several afterimages within the barrier, each radiating the same spiritual energy fluctuations as his original body.
Zhou Huaili's expression finally changed.
This is a domain, and one that cultivators in the Qi Refining stage cannot possibly unleash.
Foundation Establishment cultivators need to reach the later stages of cultivation before they can begin to unleash a domain, but this junior who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining has actually unleashed a barrier that resembles a domain.
Although its power is still far from reaching the true foundational realm, it represents a qualitative leap in terms of level.
What does this mean? It means that this child has touched the edge of the laws of heaven and earth.
This is no ordinary genius; this is a prodigy.
If this threat is not nipped in the bud, once the foundation is laid, this child will surely become a major threat to the Zhou family.
