Chapter 1738 - 1315: Star Rain Void Flow (Part 2)
Chapter 1738: Chapter 1315: Star Rain Void Flow (Part 2)
Hua Tiandu looked at Heavenly God Dao Ma Liang: "Friend Ma seems quite determined?"
Ma Liang nodded slightly and said, "Not long ago, the Fire Ring was also killed by Fang Yu of Great Flame, so now more than half of the Avatars are not its true form.
More importantly, in my opinion, they resemble some kind of aggregate of souls and the Power of Laws, seemingly puppets created by drawing strength from others."
"Oh?"
Hua Tiandu’s eyes shifted slightly, this actually seems quite similar to myself...
But if none of the six Rings is the true form, then where is the true form of the Ring?
Hua Tiandu looked at Ma Liang and said, "Since that’s the case, please, Friend Ma, send us out."
Upon hearing this, Ma Liang looked at Luo Bingtong beside him, and his eyes shifted slightly before he suddenly smiled and said, "You two are in no hurry to leave, come with me first..."
With a wave of his hand, Ma Liang opened a pitch-black vortex and led Bingtong and Hua Tiandu inside.
As soon as the two entered, they saw six ferocious Demon Statue sculptures of Heavenly God Dao and others, emanating an evil and chilling aura.
Hua Tiandu felt slightly uncomfortable and raised his eyebrows, then his gaze fell on the Six Paths Demon Map made of Netherworld Water on the ground.
"So this is the core of the Six Paths Space barrier?"
Ma Liang nodded: "Yes, more precisely, this is the core of the Six Paths Demon Statues. Except for our sect leader, Xu Yuanzi, no one has ever been here."
"Oh? I am truly flattered." Hua Tiandu’s eyes shifted slightly and he straightforwardly asked, "Why did Friend Ma Liang bring us here, to this important place?"
Ma Liang raised his hand to guide them and said, "Please, Friend Hua and Miss Luo, enter the barrier."
"Friend Ma, what do you intend to do?"
Hua Tiandu narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils swirling with the Golden Flame, intensely staring at Ma Liang, emitting a strong oppressive force.
Hua Tiandu was very clear that even if something happened to himself, he must never let anything happen to Luo Bingtong beside him.
He was merely a puppet possessed by a soul, one who had already perished and only had the hope of pursuing the great Dao again because of his Dao brother’s fulfillment.
But if something unfortunate happened to Luo Bingtong in front of him... then he would have no face to report back!
"You two need not worry, I harbor no ill intent." Ma Liang, however, shook his head with a smile, "Now with major enemies before us and Royal Envoy Su’s unparalleled combat strength, how could I harbor any ulterior motives, or even dare to have any?"
Hua Tiandu also understood Ma Liang’s fear of Su Yuan, and frowned, "Then Friend Ma, what are you proposing?"
Ma Liang composed himself and clasped his hands, "Without your full force, the Ice Ring could not have been resolved; without Royal Envoy Su lending vast Mana to me, the six Divine General Avatars could not have been subdued.
Therefore, I naturally won’t let Friend Hua and Miss Luo leave empty-handed."
Ma Liang paused for a moment and continued to explain, "I can use the Yellow Springs Technique to absorb others’ souls, serving as a medium to quickly enhance insight and elevate cultivation through reincarnation. Within these Six Paths Demon Statues, in this Demon Map, as long as the Element matches, it is possible to apply the cultivation technique on others."
As he spoke, Ma Liang pointed at the six Demon Statues, with Spirit Light pulsing vividly on the Human World Path and Heavenly God Dao statues, filled with waves of scorching and freezing energy respectively.
"The souls of the Fire Ring and Ice Ring, who we just vanquished, have been retrieved here. I intend to assist Miss Luo and Friend Hua in enhancing their comprehension of the Laws and advancing their cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Hua Tiandu immediately understood, and he clearly knew that anything about their efforts was secondary; the main reason was those three words—"Royal Envoy Su"—which was the fundamental reason Ma Liang was willing to share the "benefits" with them.
However, Hua Tiandu had some resentment in his heart and frowned slightly, "Killing to absorb souls to elevate cultivation—this is a demonic method..."
"Friend Hua, that’s not entirely accurate!" Ma Liang chuckled, "In times of disaster and crisis, who cares whether it is demonic or Daoist? As long as it can enhance strength to resist calamity and expel external foes, it is a good method!"
Hua Tiandu’s eyes shifted, and indeed, Ma Liang was not wrong.
Only by enhancing strength can the great disaster be resisted; in critical situations, as long as it doesn’t violate righteousness, what’s there to taboo?
Additionally, Hua Tiandu realized that Su Yuan sending the four of them here might also have the intent of gaining something from Ma Liang...
’Dao brother truly is thoughtful.’
Hua Tiandu sighed inwardly and no longer resisted.
Luo Bingtong, without any hesitation, directly stood before the Heavenly God Dao Demon Statue emanating Ice Power.
For Luo Bingtong, there was no good or evil, right or wrong, just the people and things she cared about. Since Su Yuan had already reached the Ninth Stage, she also needed to enhance her strength.
Hua Tiandu gave a slight bow and said, "In that case, I’ll trouble Friend Ma!"
Ma Liang smiled and said, "Indeed."
Once the two sat down, Heavenly God Dao Ma Liang went to the center of the barrier, his expression tense, holding a Seal Technique. Two phantoms formed of Netherworld Water fell onto the Human World Path and Heavenly God Dao statues.
The eyes of the two Demon Statues glowed crimson, as if coming to life. A low roar surged, with blue and red energy flowing from them, enveloping Luo Bingtong and Hua Tiandu along the flickering Six Paths Demon Map.
Luo Bingtong and Hua Tiandu trembled slightly, then gleams of brilliance flickered in their eyes...
In another space.
Hundreds of Water Rings hovered in mid-air, as Multi-Water Clone Techniques like Water Arrows, Water Dragons, Water Bombs constantly poured down like rain.
Ruan Ruan wielded the Sea God Whip, flexible and extraordinarily powerful based on the total Star Power. A swift swing shattered several Water Ring clones with successive "booms".
Hunger Ghost Dao Ma Liang brandished the Yellow Spring Magic Sword, each time it struck a Water Ring clone, it rendered its eyes blank, turning it into a light of water absorbed by the Yellow Spring Magic Sword.
Yang Yifeng swung the Gentle Wind Thunder Saber widely, with the Wind and Thunder Holy Cone rampaging and shooting, smashing each Water Ring clone.
However...
The Multi-Water Clone Technique of the Water Ring was not simple. Not only was it difficult to discern the real from the fake with the naked eye, but it could also regenerate once destroyed.
Moreover, the attacks from these Water Clones, once hitting you, could seemingly evaporate a large portion of everyone’s Star Power out of nowhere.
Ruan Ruan and Ma Liang were better off, as they could somewhat replenish their Star Power using the Absorption Law upon destroying a Water Ring clone, but Yang Yifeng, under such siege, although uninjured, had already less than half of his Star Power left!
"Isn’t he worried about his Star Power expenditure?"
Yang Yifeng was slightly panting, frowning as he looked around at the numerous Water Ring clones.
Although knowing the opponent, being a Divine General Avatar, possessed Star Power of a higher quality than theirs, engaging three at once, it shouldn’t indulge so wantonly, right?
Yang Yifeng vaguely felt like a "frog being boiled slowly", as if the opponent was brewing something.
Gradually, under the encircling siege of countless Water Clones, the space available for the trio to maneuver grew increasingly smaller...
"It’s about time."
The Water Ring’s true form looked at the water elements enveloping the entire field, a smile curling at its lips, as it formed seals with its hands. Amidst the rapid depletion of Star Power, a heavy Water Cloud swiftly covered the entire sky.
"Star Rain Sky Flow Technique!"
As the Water Ring’s Seal Technique completed, a thunderous sound resounded in the sky. In an instant, numerous azure blue droplets converged into a curtain of rain descending.
"What kind of move is this?"
Yang Yifeng raised his eyes to the sky, frowning slightly, yet faintly sensed the complexity of the technique.
Meanwhile, Hunger Ghost Dao Ma Liang’s pupils constricted, vaguely aware of something: "Such intense water fluctuations; beware, this might be Divine Arts!"
Ruan Ruan’s gaze also fell on the droplets of azure Star Rain, growing grave in demeanor.
"Divine Arts?"
Yang Yifeng’s expression slightly tensed, and with a thought, the Wind and Thunder Holy Cone beside him shrieked and roared, racing like the wind and lightning, aiming to strike the exposed Water Ring true form amidst the Star Rain.
However, the Wind and Thunder Holy Cone, cloaked in Divine Wind and Divine Thunder, just barely entered the rain curtain when doused by the blue rain, its Illusionary Divine Wind and Azure Brilliance Divine Thunder drained of energy as if extinguished, losing all its power.
"Such an attack, how dare you be insolent?"
The Water Ring chuckled softly. With a flick of its hand, it swatted the Wind and Thunder Cone aside, sending it dropping to the ground with a "snap", rendered inert like a toy.
