Chapter 427: Spiked Seven Arrow Book (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Spiked Seven Arrow Book was a curse spell, and all curses were the most powerful divine abilities of the primordial era.
It was difficult to cast easily. For example, the the Patriarch of the Heaven sect’s Six Soul Banner was also a type of curse spell.
To a certain extent, the power of this curse spell even surpassed that of a numinous treasure.
However, every curse spell wasn’t something that could be cast easily.
In truth, Dao Lord Lu Ya’s battle prowess was only on par with Zhao Gongming’s. He might have been slightly stronger than Zhao Gongming, but he definitely wouldn’t have been defeated so easily. However, by relying on the Spiked Seven Arrow Book, he had been able to kill Zhao Gongming by force!
The Spiked Seven Arrow Book was a book that recorded spells, and it was also the foundation for using spells.
After using it once, it couldn’t be used again for a thousand years. If it was forcefully used a second time, not only would the spell fail, but the caster would also suffer a powerful backlash.
Thus, Dao Lord Lu Ya had only cursed Zhao Gongming to death in the great calamity.
Now that Shao Deng had mentioned this technique once more, Lu Ya fell into deep thought.
He had two great divine abilities and magic treasures.
One was the Immortal Slaying flying dagger, and the other was the Spiked Seven Arrow Book. In truth, although the Immortal Slaying flying dagger was powerful, it was only a head-on battle. It was far less bizarre than the Spiked Seven Arrow Book.
However, there were some requirements to activate the Spiked Seven Arrow Book.
The first was the distance!
If the Spiked Seven Arrow Book wanted to be used, it could not be too far away from the opponent.
For example, if it was 100,000 miles away, it was impossible to kill the opponent with a curse.
When the curse was used to lock onto the soul, the distance between the two could not be more than 100 miles.
Once the soul was locked onto, then the opponent could run again and again. No matter how far they were from each other, it would be useless.
However, at the beginning, the distance to lock on to the soul could not be more than 100 miles.
The second was the time and location. From the execution of the Spiked Seven Arrow Book to the execution of the curse, a total of twenty-one days were needed. During this process, one needed to build a straw doll. On the body of the doll, the name of the enemy was written. There was a lamp on the head and a lamp under the feet, the footsteps were fierce, the books and talismans were formed, the seals were incinerated, and the worshippers worshipped three times a day. In this process, once it was discovered and the Spiked Seven Arrow Book was taken away, one would be able to find a way to break it.
Therefore, it could be said that the requirements to execute the Spiked Seven Arrow Book were extremely harsh.
However, these details were taboo. Even if he lit a lamp, Lu Ya would not tell him.
There was no other way. The more powerful the spell, the more restrictions it had.
This spell could kill a quasi-saint. It could be said to be one of the best spells in the world. Other than the Patriarch of the Heaven sect’s Six Soul Banner, there was no one who could compete with it.
As for whether the Six Soul Banner could kill a saint or not, it was unknown. After all, it had not been truly activated back then, so no one could say how effective it would be.
Although it was the The Patriarch of the Heaven sect’s trump card, it was hard to know if other saints had any countermeasures.
However, even though there were many taboos in the Spiked Seven Arrow Book, no one dared underestimate it. It could not be denied that this was Lu Ya’s trump card.
Lu Ya was a little hesitant. Firstly, he did not want to use this move easily. Secondly, Zhao Gongming had already been killed by the curse previously!
One had to know that Zhao Gongming’s death last time was largely due to his lack of understanding of the Spiked Seven Arrow Book. He did not know that he had been hit. By the time he really discovered it, it would already be difficult to deal with it.
Now, Zhao Gongming was not the only one by his side.
Once he started to curse, he would definitely be able to detect it immediately. By then, how could San Xiao sit idly by?
Back then, when Lu Ya had fought with Yun Xiao, he had been captured by the Primordial Golden Dipper and even had his Niwan Palace sealed. It was all thanks to his powerful methods that he had managed to escape while the other party was caught off guard.
Therefore, he was very clear that he could not defeat Yun Xiao.
If Yun Xiao caught him, he might even be skinned alive.
The risk was a little high!
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ya frowned and said, “Even if there are so many experts in the Western Church, don’t tell me they can’t do anything to them?”
“No!” Shao Deng said truthfully, “Right now, the other party is holding the four Immortal Slaying swords and the Immortal Slaying formation. If we attack them head-on, it will be difficult to achieve success. We can only think of a way to defeat one of them and snatch one of the immortal swords. Only then will our Western Church have a chance. Otherwise, it will really be difficult to win!”
After many battles, they were now able to understand the bottom line of the opponent’s battle prowess.
Once the Immortal Slaying sword formation was activated, their side would have to have four quasi-saints wielding saint-level magic treasures to engage in battle at the same time. Only then would they be able to guarantee that they wouldn’t be defeated. However, even if their numbers increased, it wouldn’t make much of a difference, it would still be difficult to succeed!
According to Shao Deng’s estimation, they would need to gather at least sixteen quasi-saints in order to be able to defeat him head-on.
The power of this number one killing treasure of the Heavenly Dao was truly terrifying to the extreme.
It was very obvious that the Western Church couldn’t do such a thing now. Thus, Dao Lord Lu Ya’s appearance gave him hope.
When Lu Ya heard Shao Deng’s words, he smiled faintly and said, “Since that’s the case, why don’t we give it a try? But Shao Deng, you have to prepare your men. When the time comes, you can’t let him take the Spiked Seven Arrow Book away.”
Shao Deng was overjoyed and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely gather all the experts to protect the Spiked Seven Arrow Book!”
No one had expected that Dao Lord Lu Ya would target Zhao Gongming again.
Ten days later, the Western Church launched a large-scale attack on the planet where Yun Xiao and the others were located!
This was completely out of Zhao Gongming’s expectations.
However, this time, the opponent had too many experts.
The great battle began, and it lasted for seven days. During these seven days, both sides fought several times, but it was difficult to achieve success. The number of quasi-saints and Diamond Immortals on the other side was so great that even with the Immortal Slaying sword formation, they could only remain undefeated, it was difficult to unleash its power.
