Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme C.398 - 258: War God_2

Chapter 398: Chapter 258: War God_2

“Boom!!!”

The curse mantra moved, and the thunder strike assaulted.

Suddenly…

“Moo moo moo!”

“Rumble rumble rumble!”

The Heavenly Master cast his spell, summoning thunderbolts. In an instant, the sky changed color, both Yin and Yang Green Bulls, eighteen in total, descended from the heavens. The Jade Pure Divine Thunder enhanced their horns and heads, as if ancient thunder beasts were reborn, charging directly towards the hundred-zhang Pojun Fierce Blade that was Red Fang.

“This…!?”

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and at a loss.

What was this thing?

Where was the War God’s Atlas?

Wasn’t it the Grandmaster of the Heaven List who had seized a new body to be reborn?

Why didn’t he use the True Martial God of War?

Although the thundering eighteen bulls were also impressive, without the War God’s Atlas, it was not the Divine Martial.

Could it be that this person intended to face Chen Pojun’s full-strength True Martial God of War with ordinary martial skills and moves?

Even as a Grandmaster of the Heaven List, he shouldn’t be so presumptuous, should he?

Only a War God can match a War God!

Only True Martial can counter True Martial!

This has been the unchanging iron law since the beginning of the Divine Martial Era!

Now facing Chen Pojun’s SLP, this person actually didn’t use the True Martial God of War, this…

The crowd was alarmed and at a loss.

Su Shaoqing was also full of concern.

As everyone was in a state of anxious suspicion and concern.

In the firmament, the Blade Dragon and the thunder bulls clashed with their ultimate moves.

“Boom!!!”

When the ultimate moves collided, the power shook all directions.

The Yin and Yang nine bulls summoned the thunder, shaking heaven and earth with the first strike, startling ghosts and gods with the second, and causing mountains to crumble and rocks to split with the third!

The ground shook, and the thunder shattered the clouds, impacting the Pojun Blade Dragon whose streams of blood light shattered and burst apart.

Finally, with a loud boom, it exploded in midair, bursting into fragments.

The True Martial God of War was no match for Taoist divine skills!

“Bang!!!”

As the Blade Dragon disintegrated, blood light scattered, a figure burst out and plummeted into the frozen ground below, igniting a dazzling fire light, with numerous pieces of armor shattering and scattering around.

“This…”

“How is this possible!”

“Ancestor Emperor!!”

Upon witnessing this scene, Shi Wei and the others’ reactions went without saying; their eyes bulged, nearly splitting with disbelief.

Even Su Shaoqing was in shock, her cognition overturned.

Indeed, it was overturned.

Under a realm disparity, the True Martial God of War was defeated by an ordinary move?

This…

“What is this… martial skill!!”

In the frozen snowy pit, a man propped himself up with difficulty. He was mostly shattered, revealing charred and patched flesh steaming with blood, and his blood-veined eyes incredulously stared at the person before him.

Xu Yang said nothing, silently channeling his Yuan Skill, absorbing the remaining essence of the Evil Emperor’s relic.

As the second incarnation of Zhuanzhou Mengdie, “Xu Qingyang’s” cultivation foundation was too weak to even see, with just one Thunderbolt Taoist Spell depleting all the True Power in his body.

Luckily, there was still the Evil Emperor’s relic to replenish him, and his opponent, having been heavily injured by the Taoist thunder, had no fight left in him.

Xu Yang remained silent, but his intent to kill was palpable.

“Good, I’ll remember this debt!”

“Mysterious Iron Divine Weapons!!!”

Seeing that his opponent was preparing another deadly move and badly wounded, Chen Pojun did not dare to hesitate. He roared loudly and forced his injured body to fly away.

The seventy-two nearly unscathed Mysterious Iron Divine Soldiers followed suit, forming an Earth Sha formation and encircled Xu Yang, not to inflict damage on the enemy, but to buy time.

Abandoning the vehicle to save the commander, his decisiveness was extreme.

Seeing this, Xu Yang also said nothing. He operated his technique to muster his Inner Yuan, with the thunder shooting out like a dragon.

“Not good!”

“Run!”

“Retreat!!”

Seeing this scene, not just the Mysterious Iron Divine Soldiers who were ready to sacrifice themselves, but also the two envoys from the Demon Sect and the Divine Beggar Shi Wei changed colors and fled without a second thought, each flying away.

However…

“Roar!!”

“Boom!!”

Six dragons raised their heads, striking like thunderbolts. Under the restraint of their powerful physiques, they shattered the Earth Sha array in an instant, leaving the seventy-two Mysterious Iron Divine Warriors, along with their armor and flesh, reduced to charred corpses, emitting wisps of green smoke as they fell to the ground.

Three high-ranking warriors from the Heaven List were also within the affected area.

“Ah!!”

In the recent fierce battle, the already severely injured Blood Master Zhang Ren was a step too slow. He was directly struck by the dragon shadow amidst raging thunderbolts, and without time to transform into a stream of blood, he became charred and crashed to the ground with a boom.

Relying on the Heavenly Demon Dance, Du Xinyu, who had unpredictable movements and incredibly fast speed, narrowly escaped disaster. Hearing the screams behind her, with no regard for fellow cultivators, she did not look back as she fled in terror.

In another direction, the Undying Divine Beggar Shi Wei, although lacking the Heavenly Demon’s bodily technique, still managed to soar into the air with the power of the Dragon and Tiger, reaching incredible speeds. In a blink, he left the battlefield and was about to disappear into the night.

But unexpectedly…

“Boom!”

A flash of lightning, a thunderous roar, and a bolt of heaven-sent thunder came slashing down, ruthlessly cutting off the path ahead.

The Yuan Spirit True Jue, the Heavenly Thunder technique, although slightly slower than the “Vertical Earth Golden Light,” possessed attacking power and was not simply an escape method but a deadly technique.

Shi Wei couldn’t react in time, and the Heavenly Thunder that shot downward struck him on his head and face.

There was no escape, no retreat.

With no other choice, he clenched his teeth and faced the attack head-on, thrusting his green bamboo stick like a sword, with the shadow of a dragon coiling around it.

He was not Zhang Ren; he had not expended all his energy fighting with Chen Pojun just now, his fighting power was still intact. Even facing a formidable enemy, he would not surrender without a fight or await execution.

When the green bamboo stick thrust forward like a sword, it did not have the might of a soaring dragon, but it gathered the power of subduing the dragon to a single point, attacking like a deadly needle.

However…

“Bang!”

The thunderbolt exploded, the lightning passed by, directly missing the tip of the stick. It closed in on the enemy, regaining its form, and with two fingers formed as a sword, stabbed out.

The power of Taoist divine skills was great, but also energy-consuming. His current level of cultivation could only support one or two moves; any more would be unsustainable.

Compared to that, close-quarter combat was less energy-draining.

Even though it saved True Power, the danger was not diminished. His sword fingers, as sharp as any blade, aimed directly at the enemy’s vital points.

In terms of fighting skills, this was a pinnacle among humans!

“Puff! Puff! Puff!”

Several muffled sounds followed as Sword Qi pierced the body, blood flowing freely.

Although the injuries were not fatal, they were excruciatingly painful, driving Shi Wei into a fury. He roared, “This is too much, Subduing Dragon and Tiger…!”

Amidst his roaring, he rapidly channeled his essence, and behind him, a massive shadow appeared. Similarly featuring a relief on a monolith, the vague and mysterious Qi unveiled a scene where dragons soared and tigers leaped, resounding in all directions.

It was the War God’s Atlas—the Subduing Dragon and Tiger!

However…

“Boom!”

In the instant that the move was unleashed, there was a gap; being so close was lethal. Xu Yang pointed his finger, the wind and thunder moved in unison, and a thunderous Sword Qi pierced through the enemy’s heart meridian.

“Spurt!!”

With a muffled sound, blood sprayed forth, and Shi Wei’s body trembled, looking incredulously at the person in front of him as his Inner Yuan rapidly dissipated. The image of the atlas behind him, along with the monumental relief, also scattered swiftly along with his life.

The victor was decided, and so was life and death!

But Xu Yang didn’t stop there. He stepped forward, towering over his opponent, his right hand forming a claw, his fingers hooked as he struck down on the crown of Shi Wei’s head. Activating his Mana, he seized the soul.

It was none other than the Soul Searching Great Skill!

The most direct way to grasp a situation was to “inquire” from the locals themselves.

But times had evolved; interrogation under duress had long been outdated.

Soul searching was more efficient and could prevent falsification, making it an indispensable skill for killing, arson, and traveling through time.

As Xu Yang placed his hand over Shi Wei’s crown and activated his cultivating skills, he was about to search the soul.

However…

“Roar!!”

“Roar!!”

With a dragon’s cry and a tiger’s roar that exploded in the moment his divine consciousness probed in, they surged back into Xu Yang’s mind, causing a monumental relief some hundred yards long and tall as a mountain to appear.

It only appeared for an instant before it shattered, the sound of the dragon’s cry and tiger’s roar impacting Xu Yang, pushing him back several steps before he could steady himself.

“Bang!”

At the same time as he steadied his footing, Shi Wei fell backward onto the ground, life extinguished.

Xu Yang steadied himself and looked down at the lifeless body, frowning slightly.

The Soul Searching had failed!

Not only had it failed, but he had also suffered a backlash.

Within this man’s Divine Soul, there was a restriction, a “Subduing Dragon and Tiger” restriction.

The War God’s Atlas?

Xu Yang did not know, but such a reaction was very similar to when he had previously attempted to search the souls of Tianshu Sect disciples. Both had restrictions within their divine souls, preventing probing; should anyone try to enforce it, there would be mutually assured destruction, destroying oneself while also dealing a backlash to the enemy.
