The enormous ten-zhang Saber Qi blazed across the entire stone chamber, carrying a momentum that seemed capable of slicing the entire chamber in half with one strike.
Wang Yuyan and the Primordial Spirit of Xiang Yutian within the Evil Emperor Relics both cried out in alarm.
The former didn’t want to see her grandaunt’s statue destroyed.
The latter feared the statue’s Primordial Spirit Power would be ruined.
However, the domineering and fierce Saber Qi wasn’t swayed by these two people’s wills and suddenly struck the statue’s head.
The attack in that instant was truly too fast, as the power bursting from Li Canghai’s statue had just dispersed the attack using Star Shifting, yet this overhead strike fell once again. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs nοvelfire.net
The entire statue, sculpted from Mingyun Crystal, suddenly emitted a bright radiance.
A protective shield that resembled an armor-like shell abruptly formed outside the statue, meeting the fierce and domineering Saber Qi head-on.
A deafening explosion resounded.
The entire stone chamber shook violently, and the fierce, sharp Qi Force created countless waves that reverberated throughout the chamber.
The enormous, fierce Saber Qi instantly compressed the shield inward, and the instantly released sharp aura ripped open a chasm on the chamber’s rocky floor.
Jiang Dali landed with a thud, his feet embedding half a foot deep into the rock, and as he roared, the Heaven and Earth Power of fifteen meters burst forth, causing the iron nails on his Protective Bracelets to swell and bulge as if they were about to explode.
The dazzling golden Saber Qi surged again.
It was as if a Heavenly Chopper had ruthlessly torn through the shield, landing with a crack on the statue’s head.
Instantly, the sound of stone shattering exploded.
The Jade Statue emitted a light that immediately dimmed, while the blazing golden Saber Qi lingered at its head’s breach.
A long blood bar appeared above the Jade Statue’s head.
At this moment, an astonishing amount of damage emerged, cutting the blood bar by more than half.
Crack, crack, crack——
Dark cracks, reminiscent of centipedes, spread downwards from the Jade Statue’s nearly severed forehead to its chest, a chilling sight.
"Even with most of the blood gone, Li Canghai is indeed quite tough.
But if there’s truly Primordial Spirit Power within this statue, by damaging it , the mysterious Li Canghai is bound to sense it..."
Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed, True Qi retracted, and he casually inserted the Dragon Slayer Sword back behind him.
Almost simultaneously, the interface conveyed three notifications.
"You have engaged in combat with Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow Venerable·Heavenly Person Realm, your proficiency in the Great Strength Divine Skill increased by 10%, proficiency in the Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber increased by 12%."
"You defeated Li Canghai’s Heart Shadow Venerable·Heavenly Person Realm, your Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber advanced to 4th realm Mastered!"
"Your Great Strength Divine Skill advanced to 9th realm Returning to Nature, Qi-Blood increased by 1500, Inner Strength increased by 1500, Inner Strength potency bonus increased by 10%."
Instantly, Jiang Dali felt the True Qi within him circulating independently.
From the Heavenly Spirit Acupoint at the crown, through the Heavenly Pool Acupoint past the Twelve-story Building, down the Ren Meridian, up through the Du Meridian, then reverse up the Du Meridian, breaking through the Yuzhen Pass, passing through the Mud Ball, and back to the front Ren Meridian, thus circulating without rest.
For a moment, his breath surged, and he broke into a sweat all over.
Both Qi-Blood and Inner Strength had increased significantly.
And simultaneously, with the breakthrough in the Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber, inspiration for a fourth form of saber technique emerged in his mind.
The Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber is a saber technique he personally created.
Starting from the First Strike, Three Springs Thunder, to the Second Strike, Golden Dragon Breaking the Sky, and then the Third Strike, Great Sun Heavenly Thunder, each strike is fiercer than the last.
To date, he rarely needed the Third Strike when facing opponents.
Thus, he never comprehended an even more powerful Fourth Strike.
But now, with the breakthrough in saber technique, a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind.
"The Fourth Strike focuses more on Sword Intent and Sword Force rather than form, drawing upon Nie Renwang’s Sweeping Thousands of Army as the base to create a unique saber technique, unconfined to slashing, sweeping, or striking...
Yet at the moment of drawing the saber, the formed momentum and Sword Intent are enough to shock and lock onto the opponent’s spirit, causing them to concede before the saber is even out.
This form emphasizes speed and directness, focusing more on the spiritual and psychological impact... it shall be named Heavenly River Mighty..."
As Jiang Dali contemplated this, Wang Yuyan cautiously approached the Jade Statue to inspect it.
She saw that the entire Jade Statue’s glow had dimmed.
The crack extended from the forehead down to the chest.
Not only did it no longer emit any more Heart Shadow, but it also entirely lost its ethereal aura, giving off an eerie feeling instead.
Wang Yuyan, both angry and exasperated, turned back to Jiang Dali, stamping her foot and scolding, "Village Chief, you broke my grandaunt’s statue."
Jiang Dali’s eyes flickered, lifting his head to look at the statue of Li Canghai in palace attire. He walked over nonchalantly and said, "Your grandaunt was no ordinary person. Even just a statue of her is extraordinary and not so easily destroyed."
As he spoke, Jiang Dali clasped his hands behind his back, examining the statue with a peculiar glint in his eye, deep in thought.
This entire statue was crafted from Mingyun Crystal and was personally sculpted by Wuya Zi decades ago, imbued with all his spirit, and touched by the Qi Fortune within the Langhuan Blessed Land, making it no longer a mere mortal object.
Most importantly, given his current understanding, having learned an array like the Purple Qi Tiangang Formation.
The statue’s location is precisely where the array’s eye of the entire stone chamber lies.
Feng Shui emphasizes field arrays.
And any array has an array eye.
The so-called array eye is the center of the magnetic field.
Positioned in this central area, the Qi Fortune can be concentrated.
Over time, naturally, changes occur due to the influence of Qi Fortune and Feng Shui energy.
