Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 496 - 172: In the Next Life, I Wish to Eat Another Hundred Herbs Fish_5

At that moment, the Sword Heart was reshaped, and the Love Nine Sword Technique returned to its place as the most potent of sword techniques...

Not to mention the Complete Level of the Mixed Element Mysterious Star Finger, a targeted skill that merged the power of Wang Mu’s three Golden Cores. Most importantly, during the battle with the Heavenly Pride, Wang Mu had not yet condensed the True Yang Golden Core. Without this True Yang Golden Core, a single encounter with the Ice Blue Ancient Tree would likely have resulted in defeat; it would have been impossible to fight in such an extremely cold and icy environment without being frozen into an ice sculpture.

Wang Mu’s strength at this moment, compared to during the battle with the Heavenly Pride, had naturally grown significantly. However, most Cultivators were unaware of this. Even so, he was only just able to fight the ancient tree to a draw.

The Ice Blue Ancient Tree, seemingly capable of endless regeneration, contained a faint principle and possessed unparalleled Life Force. Once awakened, even those stronger than it could not defeat it. But to fight it to a draw was already an inconceivably astounding feat. Wang Mu’s terrifying strength made many Cultivators present feel ashamed of their own abilities.

"No wonder this guy has come so far..." Dao Xuan said speechlessly. "If you say he could leave his name on all the ice sculptures now, I’d believe it. And his Golden Core aura, why does it fluctuate so much?"

"Didn’t he form a Sword Dao Golden Core?"

Many Cultivators turned towards Cheng Tianyong.

Why are you looking at me? Do you think I know? Cheng Tianyong thought. Wang Mu’s Cultivation had always been a mystery; probably only Elder Yan knew a thing or two about it.

"This lad has a unique constitution... He might have condensed more than one Golden Core Power," Master Shen Ji from the Tianji Sect mused. "It seems he possesses two Golden Core Powers... Not only must he have encountered a great opportunity, but his talent is likely also extraordinary."

Two Golden Core Powers? Does that mean he has two Golden Cores? Everyone was shocked, inwardly exclaiming at his monstrous strength. No wonder he was so powerful!

Cheng Tianyong nodded frequently. Throughout history, only two cultivators in the long annals of the Shangxiao Sword Sect had ever cultivated the Upper Heaven Energy Introduction Technique to the eighteenth layer and formed an Acquired Spirit Body. Master Shen Ji of the Tianji Sect possessed the Heavenly Eye Divine Ability, which was said to allow him to see through many special forms of energy flow. In the Cultivation World, this meant he could discern the Cultivation paths of Cultivators whose realms were not higher than his own, an extremely formidable skill.

"Why didn’t you notice it before?" Fairy Ming Cang asked.

"He hadn’t used such strong power before," Master Shen Ji shook his head. "How could I have seen through it easily? I merely felt something was somewhat odd at the time."

"But even so," Master Pujue from the Ancient Zen Temple said, clasping his hands together, "Clan Master Wang has no assistance and will find it difficult to recover. If this continues, he will likely not be a match for this Innate God Spirit in the end."

"Observing this tree, it appears to be of the Ice Hua Yuan Pine lineage from the Longevity World Tree, also known as the Longevity Ancient Pine. Its Life Span is endless, coexisting with the heavens themselves. Fighting such an Innate God Spirit is tantamount to battling its tens of thousands of years of Life Span. Unless it can be destroyed in a single strike, the struggle is interminable."

"Such a miraculous tree of heaven and earth, long thought extinct... It’s a mystery how this Immortal acquired it..."

In the scene, after a long and fierce battle, the onlookers grew increasingly silent. The Guardian Artifact Spirit of the Ancient Immortal had slumbered for countless ages and possessed unparalleled power.

This isn’t going well, Wang Mu thought. This thing is too monstrous. It’s truly unkillable! Even if its branches and leaves are completely ground into ice shards, can they really regenerate instantly?

It seems I still can’t beat it, Wang Mu thought. Even though my current explosive power is stronger than it, I still can’t win. This is to be expected from the reserves of a Sixth Generation Immortal. A mere Guardian Artifact Spirit is this strong?

In the void, the twelve Mystic Water Flying Swords appeared somewhat dim. The Wine Sword Gourd grew stronger the longer it was nourished. Consuming too much energy at once also caused some wear on the Magic Treasure itself. The Spiritual Power in his body was also nearly depleted. Yet, the ancient tree still maintained its original appearance, its body shimmering with ice flowers, though its light, like before, had also dimmed somewhat.

Comparatively, I’ll definitely be the first one to give out. I can’t beat it. It can’t really intend to kill me, can it? Wang Mu thought.

"Continue?" the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said indifferently. "I’d like to see what capabilities you, the so-called heaven-sent one, still possess."

Wang Mu shook his head. "No more fighting. I can’t beat you, and I don’t know why you’re attacking me. If it’s because I freed that Piao Miaoxu... rest assured, since I was the one who released her, I will definitely deal with her myself."

However, the Ice Blue Ancient Tree blurted out, "What? You released that fiend’s Residual Soul?!"

Wang Mu was taken aback. Good heavens, so you hadn’t even realized it yourself?

The next second, the Ice Blue Ancient Tree roared in fury, "You despicable fool! The original master expended great effort to seal it! It’s truly... truly..." The Ice Blue Ancient Tree sighed. "Master... is this what you spoke of... karmic destiny?"

「After a moment of silence.」

"But I refuse to believe it!" The Ice Blue Ancient Tree’s Divine Sense locked onto Wang Mu as endless ice branches, like a torrent, converged into a Heavenly Communication Ice Spear aimed at him. You told me not to harbor resentment towards him, it thought, that even if I did, I ultimately wouldn’t be able to defeat him... But he’s out of options now; he has given up! Master, you were clearly wrong... I will end him right now, and as for you...

Wang Mu didn’t quite understand why the ancient tree had suddenly become enraged again. He only knew that this coming strike... was terrifying...

「Outside.」

Everyone watching this scene instantly felt an oppressive sensation weighing on their Primordial Spirit.

"Not good!" Cheng Tianyong’s spirit trembled; he sensed something was terribly wrong.
