Chapter 654: Chapter 620: The Heavenly Spirit Begins to Fight
At the bottom of Misthaven Ocean, where several key leylines intersect.
The power of leylines surges violently, seemingly more aggressive than before.
Using this force, Li Fan set up the [Earth Fire Reversal Array] and placed the peaceful Tianyang at the center of the array.
He then, one by one, threw various materials such as “Eternity Refined Gold,” “Ridiant Sky Crystal,” and “Purple Spirit Crystal Marrow” into the array.
Like a massive furnace, under the casting of the ferocious Terrestrial Flame Power, these materials slowly merged with Tianyang’s puppet body.
Throughout the countless years of Tianyang’s slumber, it was this array that allowed him to break through his limits and progress from the Foundation Establishment Stage to become a God Transforming Immortal Monarch.
However, since the Body Transformation Dao he followed back then was from an insignificant sect, even after inheriting all the assets of the Body Transformation Dao, his resources were still limited.
Eked through thousands of years, achieving the God Transformation Realm was already his limit.
The strength of his puppet body was inherently limited by the materials used, with a not too high ceiling. It did just fine in battles with others of the same realm, but as for defeating opponents across different realms like a truly talented genius, it was greatly forced.
However, with Li Fan’s assistance now, everything was about to change completely.
With all the rare and precious materials thrown in, even if just a simple puppet was created, it could still rival an ordinary Integration Cultivator.
Moreover, with Tianyang’s indomitable spirit and will, he might just survive the supremest Essence of Heaven and Earth – Mo Sha.
The bright light of the [Earth Fire Reversal Array] reflacted in Li Fan’s pupils. He stood and observed for several days and found the progress to be slightly slower than expected.
“Junior brother, your senior brother will add more fuel to the fire.”
Saying that, Li Fan threw clusters of top-grade spirit stones that contained a huge amount of pure spiritual energy into the array.
It’s like the wind blowing into a burning flame.
The efficiency of the Terrestrial Flame Genesis Array operation instantly doubled than before.
Li Fan was gazing at Tianyang in the array, his eyes deep and mysterious.
—————–
Time flew by, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the Friendly Exchange Meeting of the Sky-spirit State officially opened.
To prevent unexpected accidents, the entirety of Sky-spirit state was locked down during this period, causing all the teleportation arrays to lose their functions. No unrelated personnel were allowed inside to interfere.
So, ordinary cultivators unfortunately missed the opportunity to witness the opening ceremony and the mutual unveiling of the “world-suppressing ultimate weapons.”
The so-called “world-suppressing ultimate weapons” refer to those extremely powerful magic treasures that can influence the direction of the war between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization.
As per the rumors, the two sides each revealed a world-suppressing ultimate weapon. Everyone who saw them was astonished by the terrifying power they could display. It deterred any thoughts to start conflicts. However, due to confidentiality, precise effects of these two world-suppressing ultimate weapons weren’t provided.
Which caused much speculation amongst the people.
The enormously anticipated competition began on the second day after the opening ceremony.
Dao, Martial, Artifact, Array, Pill, Talisman.
Only one event was held each day, with both the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization sending out three geniuses to compete.
The first, and the most attention-grabbing, was the [Martial Combat].
At this moment, countless cultivators of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals saw their first representative take the stage through the Heavenly Spirit Viewing Mirror.
He was a teen in appearance, not more than ten years old, and gender-ambiguous. Dressed in white with a red ribbon wrapped around his head, he looked exceptionally handsome.
The corresponding information was displayed in the Viewing Mirror.
“Di Liuwu.”
This was the name of the seeming teen.
For a moment, all cultivators were taken aback.
As the delegation from the Five Elders Organization couldn’t hide their discontent.
“What does this mean? Is a kid participating in such an important event?”
“Are they really treating the Five Elders Organization as if we’re ragtag and insignificant?”
All the present cultivators were highly skilled, and they could naturally discern that the one named Di Liuwu was not an adult who maintained his childlike form. He indeed looked less than ten years old.
How strong could he be regardless of how talented he is given his brief life span?
The cultivators from the Five Elders Organization had their faces overcast, and a young cultivator in green, holding a sword, stepped forward, incensed and showing killing intent.
“Xu Guzhi, be careful!”
One of the Five Elders’ monks, who looked much like a rural peasant woman, suddenly yelled.
The identity of this middle-aged woman seemed exceptionally peculiar, and the green-robed youth named Xu Guzhi nodded solemnly.
Afterward, he floated towards Di Liuwu.
“I await your guidance!” said Xu Guzhi with narrowed eyes, pointing his sword straight at Di Liuwu.
As the confrontation was about to erupt, the cultivators of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals also received the information about the contestants.
They were both at the peak of the God Transformation Realm, Di Liuwu was nine years old, Xu Guzhi was fifty-six years old.
All cultivators who witnessed this scene were astounded.
“A nine-year-old God Transforming Realm cultivator? Am I seeing it right?”
“Even if he started cultivating in his mother’s womb, he couldn’t have progressed this quickly!”
“Does he really exist? Is Di Liuwu the fastest cultivator in history? How did he do it?”
“I’m already 378 years old and still struggling in the Nascent Soul Realm. The gap between people really makes me despair.”
“Heh, you’re already in Nascent Soul Realm. What does it make me, a lowly Foundation Establishment Cultivator?”
Before the competition began, it sparked a public discussion. Cultivators from all directions were speculating about Di Liuwu’s origin.
Even Li Fan didn’t hide a hint of astonishment and surprise in his eyes.
Unavoidably, a nine-year-old peak God Transformation Realm cultivator was indeed beyond normal logic.
“Could it be the reincarnation cultivation method like Sect Leader Zhang? Or is it a rebirth method by possessing another’s body, like the Law King of Mystic Sky Sect?”
“Or …”
Li Fan was glaring at Di Liuwu, looking intently at his persistently indifferent face that he found somewhat familiar.
“Sky Artificer?”
“Is this Di Liuwu from [Era]?”
Just as Li Fan was contemplating, Xu Guzhi made his move.
A swing of his sword produced a gigantic shadow that seemed to compress from the sky.
“Continuous sword, Endless like a mountain.”
The explanation synchronously appeared in the Viewing Mirror.
Layer upon layer, ten thousand giant swords all around, were all pressing down towards Di Liuwu.
There was not much of a grand sound, only the huge sword shadows overlapping and pressing down continuously, bringing an incomparable sense of oppression.
But Di Liuwu, surrounded by all those swords, seemed to be stunned, remaining motionless and not knowing what to do.
The hearts of the cultivators from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals felt as if they had been caught in a tight grip.
Just as countless giant swords were about to strike him, Di Liuwu made his move.
A silver dragon, like a sudden thunderbolt, illuminating the Heaven and Earth.
It swiftly shot through the arena of giant swords.
Before any cultivator had time to react, it pierced through Xu Guzhi’s chest.
