Super Divine Daoist Skill-Chapter 645 - 641: The Riot Begins (Two in One)_2
Except for Zhu Yongzhen, he assessed everyone’s strength through observation.
Unquestionably, the strongest was Nine Extremes Sword King, Zhang Dongsheng.
However, because the number of star beasts encountered at that time was small and their strength was low, the other party had not truly taken action, making it difficult for him to evaluate.
But he estimated that Celestial Sword True Monarch, who also came from the Celestial Spirit Sect, should possess combat power equivalent to the second tier of the Peak of the Golden Core Realm, while True Monarch Jujue, despite being a tier lower in Late-stage Golden Core Realm, also had combat power reaching the second tier of the Peak of the Golden Core Realm...
The danger level in the Second Layer was similarly low for many Golden Core Realm cultivators.
After swiftly dealing with some reckless star beasts, they soon found the passage leading to the Third Layer.
However, just as Bai Ziyue and the others planned to enter the passage, at the moment when they were about to step into the Third Layer,
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, the void condensed sharply, and the surrounding air became dense.
Wind and clouds swirled.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth trembled more intensely.
As waves swept through, the rocks and ground began to move.
Mountains and rivers shifted, the terrain changed.
A setting of heavens and earth’s reversal unfolded.
In the void, sinister winds suddenly descended.
Under the dense clouds, rain containing a special corrosive quality poured down furiously.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, as various adverse weather conditions evolved in the sky.
Sizzle...
Suddenly, Bai Ziyue turned his gaze and saw a streak of transparent light appear far away in the air, like lightning.
The instant the light appeared, it seemed a great force was supporting something.
With a booming sound, it exploded open.
A massive, transparent passage emerged at once.
Through that spatial passage, Bai Ziyue faintly saw towering forests inside, reaching into the clouds, with star beasts running rampant and emitting menacing roars.
Thump~! Thump! Thump!
Then, those star beasts from within the space surged rapidly into the Second Layer.
These star beasts had visibly more muscular bodies and exuded powerful strength with their roars.
They were clearly Level 3 Fierce Beasts!
"Level 3 Star Beasts.
Level 3 Star Beasts have appeared.
The Star Source Divine Mountain has begun to riot."
The cultivators’ eyes immediately sparkled with light.
Excitement combined with a layer of worry in their eyes. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Level 3 Star Beasts possessed power comparable to early-stage Golden Core Realm to Late-stage Golden Core Realm.
For most of them, the threat was not as daunting as imagined.
But now, amidst the riot of Star Source Divine Mountain and the opening of the spatial passage, Level 3 Star Beasts might appear in the Second Layer, and the Third Layer could also have Level 4 Star Beasts.
Level 4 Star Beasts posed significant threats even to King-Sealing Powerhouses.
The group naturally felt quite anxious.
"Be cautious, the Star Source Divine Mountain riot has started.
Level 4 Fierce Beasts might appear in the Third Layer, so do not be careless."
Suddenly, True Monarch Zuihu approached Bai Ziyue, offering friendly advice in a low voice.
"I understand, at times like these, no one would be careless."
Bai Ziyue nodded, understanding the reason behind True Monarch Zuihu’s friendly approach.
*In battles, anything could happen, and the ensuing events would undoubtedly be fraught with danger.
That’s why, from the start, he proactively explained the circumstances within the Star Source Divine Mountain to the many cultivators, trying to show goodwill, including towards Bai Ziyue.*
*His aim was to have cultivators nearby to help him through the danger, as vital moments could be a matter of life and death.*
*And what he needed to pay was just some explanations and seemingly heartwarming reminders, which were certainly worth it.*
Bai Ziyue did not resent this approach.
*Everyone had their own survival strategies, each with valuable aspects.*
*For someone who rose from being a loose cultivator to achieve a Golden Core and reached his current Late-stage Golden Core Realm Immortal Technique Realm, Gao Ming’s actions clearly showed foresight.*
"Let’s go, inside.
Once in the Third Layer, no one shall extend their Divine Sense, everyone follow me.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite."
By this point, even Nine Extremes Sword King’s expression grew solemn, and with a low shout, he quickly entered the Third Layer passage.
The others followed closely behind.
"This gravitational intensity is immense!"
As soon as they entered the Third Layer area, everyone’s expressions changed.
The pill essence power in their bodies quickly circulated, giving them a sense of relief.
The gravitational strength had increased from forty times to eighty times, and even with their Immortal Technique Realms already at Golden Core Realm level, they felt considerable discomfort.
This gravity affected their strength significantly.
Not only could they no longer fly as before with just their physical strength, now requiring pill essence power to support them, but their overall capabilities were also impacted.
Their combat strength diminished to seventy percent of its peak...
"Eighty times gravity, certainly overwhelming.
Yet my physical strength far surpassed ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators.
So far, I haven’t felt my limits.
Thus, even as other cultivators alleviated pressure through their pill essence power, my physical strength alone sufficed."
Bai Ziyue observed the states of the other cultivators.
Aside from Nine Extremes Sword King Zhang Dongsheng, Celestial Sword True Monarch, and True Monarch Jujue, others instantly used pill essence power for relief.
Though Zhang Dongsheng and the others could bear the gravity with physical strength,
the sinister winds and continuous corrosive rain in the void made them feel inadequately prepared, prompting them to deploy pill essence power for protection.
Particularly Zhang Dongsheng, who positioned a massive turtle-shell-like defensive shield before him to guard against potential dangers.
Celestial Sword True Monarch and others, also followed suit, deploying various defensive measures with great caution.
However, Bai Ziyue’s physical strength ensured neither the rain nor the winds could affect him.
For discretion, though, he too operated his pill essence power, feeling more at ease, while also employing Great Divine Techniques, the Five Emperors Divine Robe.
A white Daoist robe cloaked him, instantly adding a layer of mystical aura around him.
"Move!"
Nine Extremes Sword King shouted, refraining from extending his Divine Sense, and rushed forward.
The others followed suit, aware of the dangerous Third Layer under the riot, none dared recklessly to extend their Divine Sense.
"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"
Suddenly, a resounding noise echoed.
Bai Ziyue and the others looked out, spotting a colossal fierce beast resembling a mountain, moving slowly beyond a peak.
Its body was immense, its flesh sturdy, and its limbs extremely robust, like four stone pillars, each step leaving a huge pit on the ground with a dull sound.
"Hiss... It’s a Level 4 Star Beast.
We encountered a Level 4 Star Beast so quickly?"
True Monarch Lingjiu’s complexion changed, a tense sweat forming on his brow.
Level 4 Star Beasts, even the weakest compared to Peak Golden Core Realm powerhouses, those top-tier ones could rival King-Sealing, even Half-step Primordial Spirit Realm levels of power.
This Level 4 Star Beast, even if not one of those terrifying entities comparable to King-Sealing, its mere presence induced awe in him.
"Let’s avoid it.
Do not engage without necessity.
They are not our target."
Zhang Dongsheng shouted in warning, his figure turned, cautiously flying along the mountain top towards another direction.
Bai Ziyue and the others wisely followed, not daring to forge ahead recklessly.
After several dozen breaths, the group had distanced themselves from the Level 4 Star Beast, finding slight relief.
