I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 161 - 135: (Revision) Talisman Treasure Fire Crow Map
In the Illusion Array, each fights their own battle.
Yuu Qiuqi’s Hundred Treasures Box holds thirty-six items, each unique in its own way, overwhelming opponents. While fiercely battling with Xiong Kuan, a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, she firmly suppresses another Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, holding her ground without faltering.
Gu Liu, a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, wields the Leaf-Picking Flower Sword, complementing the Flying Sand and Stone Technique, evenly matched against two Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Zheng Chong, utilizing his trump card, the Spiritual Spider Net Magical Artifact, immediately traps a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment opponent upon encounter, focusing his strength to quickly eliminate an Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Ge Yuchan, obscured in white mist, moves like a Shadow Assassin, elusive and ghostly, engaging two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, seeking a deadly opportunity.
Yun Shang, facing the combined assault of two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, releases the Lightning Mink Thunder Fire. A bald little monkey leaps, body swelling several times, crashing to the ground as a Vajra Bald Monkey, recklessly charging.
Jiang Yuebai enjoys a stroke of luck when Duan Yingfei attempts to break the Array with a talisman, ultimately causing self-damage instead.
"Dare you be arrogant before me at just the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment?" Duan Yingfei disdainfully shouted coldly.
Glancing at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment female cultivator lying on the ground, life or death unknown, Jiang Yuebai wastes no words, beginning by tossing a handful of Cold Ice Thorns.
The Burning Hundred Spears swiftly follow; in her Sea of Consciousness, two leaf-shaped blades quickly flutter — one activating the Entangling Technique, the other releasing the Ice Arrow Technique.
Suddenly, vines dance like writhing serpents, interspersed with icy arrows, and a sky full of spear shadows bursts forth like a wildfire, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Duan Yingfei furrows her brows, tossing out the Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades and spinning backward, opening a Vajra Umbrella in front of her.
A montage of scimitars shreds the air-filling vines in disarray, while the barrage of icy arrows pounds against the Vajra Umbrella with incessant knocking.
The Thunder Shock Spear crashes into the Vajra Umbrella, causing the air to ripple. Duan Yingfei braces herself, halting the spear’s advance.
Being a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Duan Yingfei possesses formidable magical artifacts and substantial spiritual energy.
The scimitars swing back, threateningly assailing once more. Jiang Yuebai, having witnessed their might, quickly retracts her spear and retreats, the Double Moon Rings emitting crisp clashing sounds, transforming into two light screens, repelling the scimitars and orbiting around her.
Duan Yingfei scrutinizes the spear and Double Moon Rings in Jiang Yuebai’s hands, pleased that they, like her Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades and Vajra Umbrella, are of the Seventh Grade.
With the Vajra Umbrella in front, Duan Yingfei presses her hands together, fingers dancing, her entire spiritual energy soaring to peak levels.
Jiang Yuebai handles the spear, contending with the Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades; the large scimitars impact with a shadowy echo, making it hard to target.
The small scimitars are capable of invisibility, evading Divine Sense detection. Without her ability to use sound for positioning and the assistance of the Wind Net, the small scimitars would have claimed her life long ago.
Seeing Duan Yingfei about to unleash her ultimate move, Jiang Yuebai’s Divine Thought triggers her Eight Arrays Plate to rotate rapidly above her head, revealing thirty array soldiers armed with Horse-Cutting Sabers emerging from the white mist.
At the same time, Jiang Yuebai resolves to swiftly conclude the battle, thrusting the Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades aside with her spear, retreating three steps, and then rapidly causing the Double Moons to orbit.
Four Eighth-Grade Spiritual Turtle Armor Talismans unfold around her, turtle patterns merging into a solid, impregnable defense!
Jiang Yuebai pinches a Golden Talisman between her fingers, its surface adorned with a vivid fiery crow totem — the High-Level Talisman Treasure Fire Crow Map she exchanged for a Sword Pill at the Mountain and Sea Building!
The Talisman Treasure is refined by a Golden Core cultivator, exhibiting extraordinary might, but its activation demands considerable spiritual energy and time.
The thirty array soldiers attack Duan Yingfei one after another, her Vajra Umbrella suspended overhead showers her with protective golden light, solid and unyielding; the Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades return, fiercely clashing with the thirty Horse-Cutting Sabers, sending sparks flying.
The thirty array soldiers aren’t a match for the Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades, quickly being cut down to pieces.
"A Talisman Treasure?! You actually possess even a Talisman Treasure!!"
Duan Yingfei stares covetously at the Golden Talisman in Jiang Yuebai’s hands. Above the Seventh-Grade Magical Artifacts lies the Sixth-Grade Magic Treasure, rare and difficult to master, typically used by Golden Core cultivators.
Yet, the Talisman Treasure contains the Magic Treasure’s power while being easier for Foundation Establishment cultivators to use, ranking as the strongest existence for the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Realizing this, Duan Yingfei resolves everything into a desperate gambit, her entire spiritual energy surging, and unleashes the ultimate strike first.
"Blade Flow Wind Kill! Go!"
Duan Yingfei forcefully thrusts her hands forward, unleashing a golden hurricane like a wild horse, untamed and tempestuous, thundering ferociously forward, resonating with unceasing metallic clashes.
This is a High-Level Ancient Technique learned by Duan Yingfei from an Ancient Scroll in the Land of Azure Flame, more powerful than current High-Level Magical Techniques. Though she’d only studied it for a few months, the toll on lives, both human and beast, from this method is countless.
The Talisman Treasure activates only a third; Jiang Yuebai looks up, seeing the hurricane brimmed with golden blades, thin as cicada wings, the roaring forming intense tempests. The Eight Arrays Plate trembles violently as the Great Array Barrier struggles to withstand it, small fractures gradually opening.
Though insufficient to shatter the array instantly, the damage to the Great Array cannot be ignored.
Jiang Yuebai grits her teeth, channeling the Five Elements Essence Qi into the Talisman Treasure, accelerating its activation.
Boom!
The Blade Hurricane collides with the Double Moon Rings, and the luminescent screen gives way within not even three breaths, splintering inch by inch.
The Talisman Treasure activation reaches two-thirds!
Crash!
The Double Moon Rings shatter, and the Blade Hurricane strikes the turtle shell azure patterns, causing lights to scatter and screams to echo, as the turtle shell pattern weakens more and more.
Just a little more!
Buzz!
The azure patterns break; the Blade Hurricane crashes fiercely onto Jiang Yuebai, inflicting intense pain, causing a muffled groan, nearly severing her spiritual energy input.
The Vestment Robe on her body is ripped to shreds, exposing the Wolf Pattern Armor, unable to withstand the innumerable blades slicing directly onto Jiang Yuebai.
Being struck by lightning had strengthened her body, leaving only white streaks from the slicing blades.
Duan Yingfei’s expression trembles slightly; then her eyes harden as she swings out the Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades.
The scimitars streak speedily, their cold glint entering Jiang Yuebai’s eyes, only to be suddenly consumed by a dash of gold-red light.
Fire Crow Map, go!
A crow’s cry, a shockwave disperses the Blade Hurricane, the Golden Talisman ascends skyward, unfurling the scroll.
"How could this be so quick!!"
Duan Yingfei’s eyes widen in disbelief; usually, Talisman Treasures take at least twenty to thirty breaths to activate, yet she achieved this in about ten.
Too late for regret, trapped within the Illusion Array with no escape route, Duan Yingfei can only grasp two Spirit Stones, fully focusing on powering the Vajra Umbrella.
Raging flames transform into fiery crows, cascading like a meteor shower, rushing fiercely from the scroll with a raging fury.
The Vajra Umbrella radiates a dazzling golden light, fiercely colliding with the fiery crows, each clash sending shockwaves sweeping across, splitting clouds and rending the air.
The Talisman Treasure, like an insatiable Taotie, voraciously siphons the Five Elements Essence Qi from Jiang Yuebai’s Dantian; she is thrown to the ground by the aftershock, her ears to catching a crisp shattering sound.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The Vajra Umbrella shatters, Duan Yingfei consumed, incinerated into ashes in an instant by the fiery crows.
If the Talisman Treasure had been activated with ordinary spiritual energy, Duan Yingfei, in a desperate attempt, could perhaps have blocked the damage with serious injuries. However, with the Five Elements Essence Qi being on par with the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment strength, Duan Yingfei stands no chance of resistance.
Jiang Yuebai collapses, utterly exhausted, sitting on the ground with torn clothing in disarray. Her body still bears over a dozen wounds from the Blade Hurricane, slowly healing under the influence of the Cloud Mushroom Grass Bloodline.
The battle lasted less than a tea break, yet it consumed over half of her Lotus Platform’s Five Elements Essence Qi. However, from this, Jiang Yuebai gauges the vast difference between herself and someone at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.
In the future encounters... it’s best to run, or perhaps launch a sneak attack; facing them head-on is far too dangerous!
The Double Moon Rings, scarcely used a few times, broke in half, beyond repair. Jiang Yuebai sighs in pity, storing the shards away, then deciding to throw them into the Five Elements Lotus Platform to refine into Five Elements Essence Qi.
The Seventh-Grade Vestment Robe sustained damage last time but remained repairable. This time, the tears are far too severe for any hope of mending.
The storage functionality of the bracers and belt also incurred varying degrees of damage. Jiang Yuebai hastily retrieves her three spare storage bags, transferring everything, taking precautions just in case.
Retrieving the Fire Crow Map, Jiang Yuebai notices Duan Yingfei’s Shadow Moon Mother and Child Blades have fallen to the ground. She raises a hand, absorbing them into her grasp.
As the white mist flows around, a faint glow catches Jiang Yuebai’s eye in Duan Yingfei’s pile of ashes.
"Is that... a bracelet? A Storage Bracelet!!"
Overjoyed, Jiang Yuebai raises her hand to seize the Storage Bracelet.
At this precise moment, a phantom figure silently appears behind her, a bloodthirsty claw descending forcefully, misdirecting the Storage Bracelet into another’s hands.
