Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear
Chapter 596 - 563: Mediocrity Is the Original Sin
Facing Bai Yu’s Path of Mercy, Wang Wu still focused primarily on probing.
This was too sudden; he felt very passive. If the opponent came intending to gang up on him, wanting to kill him, then he would naturally fight with all his might. He might not be as crazed as Dubhe’s Old Man, but with full resistance, exploding the entire Cold Realm wouldn’t be a problem.
Instead, the opponent greeted him politely, saying he violated some Celestial Law and wanted to hold him accountable, claiming there was a Daluo watching from above—damn, that made things difficult. Overall, he fought with restraint, and was quite apprehensive.
To be honest, he focused about seventy percent of his mind on Bai Yu.
Fortunately, after the first round of probing, Bai Yu seemed genuinely intent on a one-on-one fair duel rather than a group assault.
That made things easier.
"Wang Wu, do you acknowledge your sins!"
At this moment, the entire sky seemed to be coated with Bai Yu’s paint, tens of thousands of Bai Yu spoke simultaneously—that scene was quite impressive.
Of course, the effect was explosive. The Path of Mercy, along with the Path of Sincerity and the Path of Deceit, held tremendous power.
For a moment, Wang Wu’s heart sank; he feared being influenced by Bai Yu’s Path of Mercy.
That was inevitable, but he had to control the extent of the influence.
Therefore, he didn’t reply, directly unleashing the Disaster of Bitter Cold, freezing himself into a sphere, while simultaneously pulling out dozens of strands of fur, setting up decoys, wandering around, displaying a "no battle" sign, making it hard for them to find the real him.
"Wang Wu, do you acknowledge your sins!"
Bai Yu’s paint again opened its mouth in unison, accompanied by a mighty bell ringing, and the Heaven and Earth Tower instantly activated the Yin and Yang Qi, shining down upon Wang Wu.
At this moment, the sphere transformed by the Disaster of Bitter Cold disintegrated instantly, Wang Wu seemed hit directly, feeling dazed for a moment, and then knelt down, weeping and shouting, "I acknowledge my sins, I’ll change after knowing my mistakes."
The next second, it dissolved, as it was merely fur.
However, another Wang Wu was illuminated in the same spot, wailing similarly and shouting, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I dare not do it again."
But this was still fur.
After all Bai Yu’s efforts, he couldn’t even find where Wang Wu’s true body was, just like winking at a blind person, playing music to a deaf one—what was the difference?
This second round ended in such bewilderment, unresolved.
Bai Yu was also too embarrassed to lock Wang Wu with the Path of Mercy again.
Immediately initiated the third round, his Heaven and Earth Tower suddenly shone brightly, suspended high in the air, while Bai Yu again launched a full nine Immortal Artifacts, guarding the Heaven and Earth Tower like stars surrounding the moon, forming an array.
As for Bai Yu himself, suddenly he unleashed nineteen thousand three hundred Dragon Scales, covering the entire sky. Then each scale shot out dazzling lines, like a Heaven and Earth Net, covering and locking the entire Cold Realm.
This was a true big move, with the Heaven and Earth Tower as the core, nine Immortal Artifacts as the entourage, Dragon Scales as the blueprint, sealing heaven and earth.
A Great Divine Technique, a grand strategy.
Display the elegance of a Half-step Daluo!
"Hehe, it should’ve been done earlier; these wild and untrainable fellows all have ambitions too high, lacking flexibility, needing some lessons!"
Outside the Cold Realm, there were three shadows watching the battle solemnly, all newly emerged Half-step Daluo’s in past sixty thousand years.
"You can’t say it that way, if they can be subdued, we should try to. Half-step Daluo can’t impact Daluo, there’s naturally some resentment, it’s understandable. We are ordered here for this matter; otherwise, if it evolves into Dubhe’s old incident, it would be inappropriate in the end."
Another person spoke at this moment, glancing at the Heaven and Earth Net forming within the Cold Realm. With this big move, he already knew the outcome was sealed, nothing suspenseful; he merely looked further ahead—where a hint of purple flashed, which was the Twelve Celestial Immortal Realms, likely with a Daluo of the Cyan Dragon Race observing.
Speaking of which, since Dubhe self-detonated the Cultivation Realm back then, those five Daluo who suppressed Dubhe were all reproached.
Dubhe died, finally forcing the Twelve Daluo to cede some benefits.
Though the Cultivation Realm is gone, it promoted and pushed the merger of the Twelve Celestial Immortal Realms and a series of changes.
The biggest change was recruiting the wild Half-step Daluo’s while opening internal Half-step Daluo’s slots.
Thus, in the past fifty thousand years, the Twelve Celestial Immortal Alliance internally saw a surge of Half-step Daluo’s like mushrooms after rain, reaching up to fifty-two by now.
With this increase, competition arose; under limited resources, Half-step Daluo’s had to compete—those within the system vs. wild Half-step Daluo, and newly emerged ones amongst each other.
Resources are limited; those who don’t compete will fall behind, falling behind just invites defeat, defeat demands a stance.
This strategy truly resembles an open conspiracy.
Transforming the original conflict between Half-step Daluo and Daluo into conflict amongst Half-step Daluo’s.
At the current rate, in another hundred thousand years, the Twelve Celestial Immortal Realms may boast over a hundred Half-step Daluo’s, making it even more lively.
Though all are called Half-step Daluo, the resources acquired, in quantity and quality, cannot compare with those wild old Half-step Daluo’s from sixty thousand years ago, yet knowing this, they remain helpless.
Because those Tier Nine Taiyi’s genuinely willing to be dogs for climbing higher.
Within now, they have this saying: Half-step walking everywhere, Tier Nine lesser than dogs.
Hmm?
At this point, the trio was suddenly startled simultaneously, seeing Wang Wu’s true body emerge on the Cold Realm battlefield.
With Bai Yu setting the Heaven and Earth Net, aligning the Heaven and Earth Tower and nine Immortal Bodies, and deploying nearly twenty thousand Dragon Scales for the strongest big move, Wang Wu appeared.
But not to surrender and plead, rather casting an odd expression back at Bai Yu—was it a sneer? Or a provocation?
Arrogance indeed, facing such Heaven and Earth Net, he dared to be so arrogant!
Using the Heaven and Earth Shield as a blade, he aimed to slash down on the Heaven and Earth Tower.
"Naive!"
All three new Daluo’s simultaneously thought this; didn’t he know that the Heaven and Earth Tower now was not merely a simple tower, but the core of an Immortal Array?
Amidst Heave and Earth Net, what kind of power must you wield to break through this system?
"Naive!"
Within the Cold Realm, Bai Yu too sneered, his complete Heaven and Earth Tower couldn’t possibly be damaged by an unrefined Heaven and Earth Shield!
Moreover, he has already deployed the Heaven and Earth Tower into a Tianluo Immortal Array, engaging in systematic warfare!
Daring to engage in such tricks against him, how outdated.
What perception!
"Seal!"
In an instant, Bai Yu had swiftly formed one thousand and eight hundred Immortal Seals, striking at Wang Wu’s true form. Simultaneously, his Heaven and Earth Tower rapidly operated, the Tianluo Immortal Array evolving like a Heaven and Earth Net, transforming into endless radiance and then enveloping Yin and Yang Qi, pressing down on Wang Wu.
And yet, Wang Wu didn’t dodge in the slightest at this moment, as if he would confront the Heaven and Earth Net head-on, a hard collision!
Good, good, good!
Then as you wish!
Bai Yu didn’t hold back in the slightest and couldn’t hold back.
Everything should conclude, there is no suspense.
The real, complete power of the Heaven and Earth Tower, this Tianluo Immortal Array, fundamentally not something this shabby little half-step Daluo can understand...
Yet at this very moment.
"Boom"
The entire Cold Realm suddenly trembled, Bai Yu’s Tianluo Immortal Array, deployed with all the Dragon Scales, that endless radiance, just as it was about to suppress Wang Wu and fall into dust, like an egg crashing into a stone, a mortal body encountering a Divine Weapon, there was a moment of loss of control!
Suddenly lost control.
Even that Yin and Yang Qi was shattered!
What’s going on, can Yin and Yang Qi be shattered?
Then, Bai Yu had no time to think because time and space seemed to pause, no, it was indeed paused!
At least, within fifty thousand miles around that Heaven and Earth Tower, everything was paused.
No matter how splendid, miraculous, vast, or mighty the one thousand eight hundred Immortal Seals Bai Chu formed, it was useless, directly shattered.
The same result as the Yin and Yang Qi.
The endless radiance transformed by the Heaven and Earth Tower was also directly shattered.
No skillful tricks, indeed no suspense.
Because—on Wang Wu’s Heavenly Shield, a total of one hundred and eight terrifying Sword Qi fell! Together with the Heavenly Shield, transformed into a giant axe, cleaving the sky, it could end everything.
Bai Yu thought he couldn’t bear it, couldn’t break it open?
How naive.
The first two rounds were mere probes; he hadn’t used full strength, and indeed didn’t dare to use full strength.
But in the third round, when Bai Yu’s big moves were all revealed, Wang Wu laughed.
It seems that’s all there is.
A newcomer half-step Daluo using the Heaven and Earth Tower as a trump card, an ace, sounding intimidating.
Previously, it indeed intimidated Wang Wu.
But within three rounds, your performance truly disappointed Wang Wu.
One word, weak!
Two words, trash!
Your Heaven and Earth Tower, although complete, was not crafted by you; it was the Sin Prison Tower previously moved from the Cultivation Realm by those Daluo, re-refined and remodeled.
My Heavenly Shield, although not complete, can perfectly merge as one with its Creation Immortal Body.
When he could use this Heavenly Shield to withstand one hundred and eight terrifying Sword Qi at that time, Wang Wu still couldn’t determine if it was powerful or not?
So for hundreds of years, in the Cold Realm, he behaved cautiously like a mouse.
And today, you Bai Yu came to capture me, before making a move, I called you a high-profile master, akin to a towering mountain, unattainable, leading convincingly!
After making a move!
Oh, so that’s it?
To be honest, Wang Wu didn’t even know he was this powerful now.
As soon as the one hundred and eight terrifying Sword Qi emerged, the Yin and Yang Qi activated within the Heaven and Earth Tower was forcibly interrupted and scattered.
The Heaven and Earth Net was scattered.
The so-called Seal Immortal Technique was also scattered.
Utterly vulnerable.
The entire Heaven and Earth Tower, along with Bai Yu, were trembling with fear!
At this moment, Wang Wu even realized that unless the Cold God quickly restored to peak status, otherwise, the terrifying 108 Sword Qi contained within his Heavenly Shield would be enough to cleave the Cold Realm in half!
That old madman Dubhe can do it, why can’t he?
But he’s not a madman.
So, he completely ignored Bai Yu, who was vomiting blood, severely injured, and unconscious. This strike didn’t hit his Immortal Body, but almost all of his Dragon Scales were shattered.
Only that complete Heaven and Earth Tower remained floating alone, taken away by Wang Wu on a whim.
And ahead, the Cold Realm automatically opened a path because even the Cold God didn’t want to bother him and sent him on his way.
