Chapter 1044 - Joint Formation
Chapter 1044: Joint Formation
“Not only is it a human but also a Materialization realm cultivator!”
The weasel was overjoyed. He whipped up a dark-green poisonous cloud toward that human. “Be obedient and surrender!”
“I was waiting for you!” The young barbarian boy looked up, a pleasant smile on his face. “Kill!”
Zap!
External Saber Qi flew out and pierced the gaseous poison.
“Eh?! External Saber Qi?”
The weasel and even the six elders of the Beichen tribe were shocked.
“This kid… is only so old, yet he has already comprehended the Nomological Laws of Saber to this realm?” The grand elder stared with an icy glare.
The comprehension of the barbarians was too poor. They could generally only obtain basic mastery of nomological laws after reaching the Primordial Core realm and using their Destiny Magical Power as a guide to comprehend intent. External Saber Qi was the level above Saber Intent.
In other words, Fang Yuan’s comprehension of nomological laws was much deeper than that of many Primordial Core realm elders!
In fact, if they knew that Fang Yuan had reached Saber Realm, they would be scared sh*tless.
Usually, only those at the Apotheosis realm could reach this degree of comprehending nomological laws. Even in the Barbarian Ancestral Court, they would be considered peerless geniuses if they could achieve this at the Primordial Core realm!
But at the Materialization realm? No one had heard of such a monster!
“This Fang Yuan is from the Flybarb tribe? He’s quite amazing to be able to comprehend External Saber Qi at just the Materialization realm!” The Grand Elder’s words were icy cold. “He’ll definitely become someone given time! He might even be able to lead the Flybarb tribe to greatness and take over our Beichen tribe!”
Among the barbarians, the Ancestral Court was the highest. Next were the three large tribes and other small and medium-sized tribes.
The old patriarchs on the Holy Mountain had an equal attitude toward the tribes—the able went up, while the unable went down!
Even the Beichen tribe was only a small tribe before. It only obtained its status today because an Apotheosis tribal leader emerged and defeated one of the three big tribes back then.
The larger the territory, the more the tribe members, the higher the chances of giving birth to geniuses. This was the basis for the strong being strong!
“That’s right. There’s only a small chance, but we have to nip it in the bud!”
“In comparison, Great Fey Pengze only attacks the tribe occasionally. It’s a small matter.”
“No! We have to kill Great Fey Pengze, but we can’t let this Fang Yuan go either!”
…
The elders reached a consensus immediately and secretly paid attention to the battlefield.
“Clam totem, Triple Illusion Body!”
Fang Yuan’s figure flickered, and three identical ones appeared, each holding a long saber and charging at the weasel.
This sort of illusion technique was not a magical power but a simple use of the powers of the clam totem. Even so, ordinary Materialization realm cultivators would find it difficult to see through, let alone this Fey.
“Damn barbarian!”
The weasel’s hands became giant claws and attacked two of the figures.
At the same time, a fierce light flashed in his long and narrow eyes. His head enlarged, his mouth cracked open wide like a crocodile, and he devoured the last illusion body.
“No, all of them are fake!”
A dark-green poison mist suddenly condensed into a human holding a long saber behind the weasel.
Poof!
The Nine Profound Spirit Blade was a top-grade spirit artifact with unparalleled sharpness. It pierced right through the weasel’s fur, which was comparable to a magic artifact, and exited his chest, dripping fresh blood.
Not only that, the Saber Qi on the blade raged within his body, destroying everything.
“King… Avenge me!!!” The weasel howled and died on the spot, revealing his original form.
Until his death, he still did not recognize that his killer was one of the test-taking youngsters that he nearly killed months ago!
…
Sharp eyes from the swamp locked onto Fang Yuan as the weasel died.
“Hmm… Materialization realm, External Saber Qi? Clam totem? He should be a disciple of the Barbarian Ancestral Court…. Did he take on that mission?”
Great Fey Pengze had completely shed its Fey body and now looked like a thin young man with some green scales on his face. His pupils were also that of a snake.
“How dare you kill my subordinate even if you are a disciple of the Barbarian Palace?”
Great Fey Pengze was smart and cunning.
If Fang Yuan was a disciple of the Holy Mountain, he might need to think twice, knowing that only such disciples were the core of the Ancestral Court.
However, the disciples of the Barbarian Palace were nothing much. Some would die every year when out training, and he had not seen any elders leaving the Holy Mountain to take revenge for them.
“Moreover… I don’t need to be afraid of the Holy Mountain elders with my current combat strength!”
He flipped his hand, and a small black banner appeared on his palm.
“I have more or less refined this treasure. Its power will continue to improve in the future with the absorption of totems and the spirit essences of mutated beasts…”
Great Fey Pengze stared obsessively at the small black banner and hissed softly. “Ten Thousand Beast Banner is a low-grade dao artifact that can become more powerful, and it can become an immortal artifact if there are enough spirit essences and totems! Haha… Why would I be afraid of even Apotheosis cultivators with this treasure in hand?”
Humans hunted mutated beasts to absorb their spirit essences. In the eyes of the Fey, the totems of the barbarians were no different from mutated beasts!
Such was the samsara of the Heavenly Dao!
Rumble!
A water column suddenly burst into the sky from the swamp!
“Junior! Prepare to die!”
A dark green ray of light flew out at lightning speed onto Fang Yuan.
“Ahh!” Fang Yuan screamed and flew back like a meteorite while spraying blood all over the place.
“Hmm? He seems to have a protective treasure?” Great Fey Pengze breezed out from the water column with disdain on his face. “But it’s still just another blow!”
It was normal for an outstanding junior to have a protective treasure!
He had merely attacked casually just now, not even using the Ten Thousand Beast Banner!
“Great! That Fang Yuan is actually escaping toward us! Get the formation ready!”
The grand elder was excited, feeling as though the heavens were helping him, and gave quick orders. “Beichen Feng, Hong, Kuang, you three stay further away. Don’t be affected.”
“Understood!”
They were already far behind the grand elder’s team but hurried even further away now. “The six Primordial Core elders are joining in their formation. Their power must be extraordinary. We’ll really have an eye-opener today.”
“Hehe… That Fang Yuan is dead! Who asked him not to listen to Big Sis here.” Beichen Hong thumped her chest, face full of gloating.
…
Poof!
Great Fey Pengze sent another blow.
The dark green rays hit Fang Yuan onto the ground, causing him pain beyond words.
“Hmm? Something’s strange!” Great Fey Pengze stopped and hesitated slightly.
“He’s entered the range of our formation. Activate it now!” the grand elder ordered immediately.
“Beichen Six Primordial Battle Formation, activate!”
Six columns of light rose into the sky in an instant. Faint images of guardians materialized in each light beam.
The formation appeared and trapped Great Fey Pengze within it.
“So it’s the grand elder of the Beichen tribe!” Great Fey Pengze placed his hands behind his back and looked at the elders surrounding him. “Isn’t it just capturing a few youngsters? Is there a need to be so uptight about it?”
“How dare you take it so lightly. Where did you bring them?” The grand elder exploded, feeling intense pain in his heart.
Those captured were geniuses just shy of Beichen Yan! How could any good come to them after being captured?
“Where?” Great Fey Pengze sneered. “Here! Ten Thousand Beast Banner!”
The small black banner shone as it dropped to the ground to become a huge pillar!
Above the Ten Thousand Beast Banner, lions and tigers roared, fished and dragons danced, beasts appeared one after another.
It was as though ancient, savage giant beasts suddenly awakened and spread their auras.
“Impossible… a… dao artifact?” The six elders’ astonishment immediately turned into greed. “Kill him and snatch it!”
This was a dao artifact!
In theory, only experts at the peak of the Apotheosis realm who had comprehended a complete set of nomological laws could refine one.
And during the refinement, there was some inevitable damage to their vitality! Even Immortal Patriarchs only used dao artifacts.
They were certain that Great Fey Pengze had not refined this Ten Thousand Beast Banner himself. Rather, they treated it as him obtaining it by luck.
This was the horror of the Pantheon Catalog! So-called common sense was meant to be broken!
Although Great Fey Pengze had not comprehended a set of complete nomological laws, he had simply followed the steps on the page and fulfilled the requirements of the Ten Thousand Beast Banner through the blood sacrifices of numerous totems and the spirit essences of mutated beasts!
“Six Primordial In One!”
The might from the fusion of the six was at the Apotheosis realm!
“Hehe. I would have had some trouble if this trapped me here previously, but what about now?” Great Fey Pengze sneered. “Ten Thousand Beast Black Tortoise… activate!”
A third-grade revolving turtle totem appeared from the Ten Thousand Beast Banner.
The spirit essences of mutated beasts merged into it, and the revolving turtle suddenly transformed into the divine beast Black Tortoise.
It had the head of a dragon! Claws like a tiger! A black snake on its back. Its huge shadow completely protected Great Fey Pengze.
Bang!
The Six Primordial In One attack landed on the Black Tortoise, causing it to shake slightly. It did not affect the Great Fey nor the Ten Thousand Beast Banner one bit.
“The first-grade totem with the best defense, the Black Tortoise?” The grand elder frowned. “Trouble…”
“Not only that!” Great Fey Pengze shook his head. “Come forth! Phoenix!”
The shadow of the Black Tortoise quickly faded away and turned back into the revolving turtle and many other mutated beasts. Next, it immediately used the Vermilion Bird as the main body and merged them to become the brilliant divine bird with the Eternal Flame.
“Another first-grade totem?” The grand elder turned pale. “And it’s the Phoenix with the best fire element magical powers?”
“I understand now. This dao artifact has the ability to increase the power of a totem’s materialization, enough to enhance a third-grade totem to first-grade totem!”
An elder lost his composure. “How can there be such a heaven-defying dao artifact?”
