Nine Evolutions of the True Spirit-Chapter 329: Sword Divine Ability

Among the sword skills in [North Ocean Twelve Ultimates], only [Green Jiao Sea Haunting Art] was suitable for one-on-one battles, the rest were more suitable for group fights.

In comparison, although the [True Origin One Essence Sword Art] was less flexible and versatile than the [Green Jiao Sea Haunting Art], it was stronger and more overwhelming, so it was better to use in a head-to-head battle.

Hence, Lu Ping used the Fire-Ice Dual Rings to brace Wang Zhou’s attack in exchange for an opportunity to strike back with the [True Origin One Essence Sword Art].

Wang Zhou also turned serious, although he was stronger than Lu Ping, the sword practitioners were known for their powerful attacks, not to mention that Lu Ping seemed to be very capable in swordsmanship to fully master Sword intent.

Hence, Wang Zhou reached his hands out and formed two giant energy hands with his true energy, the giant hands wield the enlarged stone hammer and clashed head-on with Lu Ping’s giant light sword.

Bang—

The two mystic treasures clashed and deflected backwards from the impact. Suddenly, a giant stamp seal appeared in the sky to ram towards Wang Zhou.

The Landslide was Lu Ping’s oldest and most favorite weapon. However, it was still just a mystic instrument now as Lu Ping didn’t have any suitable Mystical Inscriptions for it. Even so, its excellent base quality still made it almost as strong as the mystic treasures under Lu Ping’s true energy.

Wang Zhou sneered coldly to see Lu Ping using just a mere mystic instrument, but he didn’t let his guard down and put up a defensive mystic treasure, while also raising his yellow aegis energy to wary against the invisible Water Specter Sword.

Bang—

Landslide rammed on the defensive mystic treasure and pushed Wang Zhou a dozen feet back, shocking him with its overwhelming strength.

At the same time, he was enraged and became irritated. Wang Zhou has always been confident with his true prowess, so he never considered the others as his equals. But not only did Lu Ping withheld his attacks and even fought back, this was unacceptable!

Wang Zhou squinted his eyes, he has made up his mind – Lu Ping must die, even if that means he has to reveal his true prowess!

A vortex of spiritual energy started to form around him, while an array formation emerged on his body.

Li Mao-Lin looked carefully at the array formation and suddenly exclaimed in shock, "That’s… a cultivation seal!? You sealed your cultivation base, you are not a Fourth Layer!"

As Li Mao-Lin exclaimed, the patterns in the array formation shone brightly, and as if they reached a limit, the array formation shattered into light particles. A burst of overwhelming aura was let out from Wang Zhou’s body, revealing his true prowess as a Fifth Later Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master!

Among the five Mid Core Forging Realm Enlightened Masters here, only Qiao Zheng-Yan was in the Fifth Layer Core Forging Realm, whereas Li Mao-Lin, Zhang Feng, Wang Zhou, and Qiu Yong-Zhen were all in the Fourth Layer; who would have expected Wang Zhou to actually also be in the Fifth Layer Core Forging Realm.

At this time, not only their expressions changed to worry for Lu Ping, even Qiu Yong-Zhen who was on Wang Zhou’s side also changed expression as he was unhappy to also be kept in the dark by Wang Zhou. But Wang Zhou couldn’t care less now, killing Lu Ping was all that mattered now.

Wang Zhou continued to wield the enlarged stone hammer with the giant energy hands, while Lu Ping also fought back using Golden Scale Sword with various sword skills. However, the difference in cultivation base wasn’t something easy to overcome, Lu Ping was pushed backwards time to time, if not for the Fire-Ice Dual Rings’ protection, Lu Ping would’ve been defeated long time already.

At this time, the Water Specter and Landslide were not strong enough to be helpful anymore. Furthermore, Lu Ping’s true energy was consuming heavily to defend the stone hammer’s attacks, if not for his consolidated and abundant cultivation foundation, he would’ve run out of true energy already.

While he was struggling to hold against Wang Zhou, little did he know that his performance has already shocked those watching the battle.

Qiao Wei-Ying and the others shook their heads when imagining themselves in his position, they would’ve definitely been killed by Wang Zhou already.

Li Mao-Lin and Zhang Feng exchanged a look, they would do better than the young ones, but not anymore better than Lu Ping either. This meant that Lu Ping was actually almost as strong as the Mid Core Forging Realm Enlightened Masters despite being just in the Second Layer Core Forging Realm.

Whereas Qiao Zheng-Yan was calm, Wang Zhou was strong, but not threatening enough to him yet. At the same time, he was contemplating the situation in his mind. As the others have guessed, the Black Mountain Gang’s power was much more than just an ordinary medium-sized party, this enabled him to learn about more things than the others.

For instance, Northern League and Crystal Palace were not the only players in this game, there was something else, another power as strong as them that was collaborating with Northern League – they seemed to be on the same side, at least in the issue of against Crystal Palace.

This led to him thinking to the mysterious power, Maiden Pavilion, which was wanted by Crystal Palace recently. Qiao Zheng-Yan furtively glanced over Zhang Feng and Li Mao-Lin, and he wondered which of these two was representing Maiden Pavilion.

Zhang Clan has always been known to be loyal to Northern League, so it has to be Li Clan, right? Hmm… Three Clans Island owned by three clans who are backed by three different powers, how interesting.

The [True Origin One Essence Sword Art] was crushed by the stone hammer once again. This time, Lu Ping couldn’t suppress his internal injury anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood, while Chilian Ying’s expression changed.

Furthermore, the spiritual sword lights from the shattered giant light sword didn’t reform into another sword skill like before, instead, they were swaying randomly in mid-air.

Wang Zhou was overjoyed, he saw that as a sign of weakness, and he quickly stepped up to attack again. Without the spiritual sword lights’ help, there was no way an ordinary flying sword mystic treasure could defend itself from the stone hammer spirit emerging mystic treasure!

At this time, the Golden Scale Sword suddenly quivered rapidly into quavering audibly, the flying sword was reaching its limit, which puzzled the others as the stone hammer hasn’t hit the flying sword yet, so why was it quivering as if it was breaking?

Then, they looked at Lu Ping only to find him closed his eyes as if he was feeling something, they couldn’t help but wonder what was happening to him.

In the level of Core Forging Realm, although the divine revelation was much more perceptive and sensitive than their eyesight, their eyesight still served an important role in helping the Enlightened Masters understand the situation clearer and better, especially those who have cultivated their eyes like Lu Ping.

But Wang Zhou couldn’t care less, he cast out the blue lights again, this time on the stone hammer to enhance its weight and momentum, as well as distorting the gravitational field around it, making the spiritual sword lights to bounce away when it passed by them.

Seeing that the stone hammer was going to hit Lu Ping and Chilian Ying was about to interfere, Lu Ping suddenly opened his eyes. He looked expressionlessly at the incoming stone hammer, then casually waved his hands to make a circle in front of him.

Immediately, the 1,296 spiritual sword lights swirled in circles like a column of swirling stars. At the same time, the spiritual sword lights also quavered and resonated with the Golden Scale Sword.

This voice…!

Everyone was shocked, their expressions changed drastically in extreme shock. The resonance between the sword lights, the murderous intent from each of them, there was no mistake, this must be it – a genuine divine ability!

This was not a mini divine ability anymore, this was already an actual divine ability!

Wang Zhou quickly recalled the stone hammer and ignored the internal injury cause by forcibly changing the stone hammer’s course. He looked solemnly at Lu Ping as the spiritual sword lights move in unison to form a sword formation with the Golden Scale Sword being its core.

Lu Ping recalled back to the incredible prowess he felt during the time using the Reverie Pellet, tracing the feelings of casting the sword divine ability. Then, as he opened his hand, and the sword formation shrunk for a split second, then bloomed like a flower, and swirled in a vortex.

This was the [River Unification Ocean Sword Art], and his first time casting it.

Lu Ping pointed his hand at Wang Zhou and the spiritual sword lights flowed like a stream of river to pounce towards Wang Zhou.

Wang Zhou was extremely nervous, he put up the defensive mystic treasure in front of him while use the stone hammer to deflect the spiritual sword lights.

After that, he did something that shocked everyone present – he turned around and fled!
