Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 388 - 367: See Through

The rumbling drumbeat suddenly vanished.

The countdown of a hundred breaths came to an end, and at this moment, the Mud Monarch completed his final advancement, facing Wang Wu with the might of a Super First Grade.

Yet, at this moment, Wang Wu did not make a move. He continued to quietly watch the Mud Monarch, as if he was truly going to lie flat and give up.

So much so that the Mud Monarch curiously waited for three seconds, thinking to himself in this life-and-death battlefield, was the opponent just incredibly bold or simply playing tricks?

You’re not making a move? Fine!

Then I will!

The Mud Monarch laughed loudly, transforming directly into a Blood Qi Demon Wind, covering nearly half of the arena, like a canopy that blocked out the sky, pressing down towards Wang Wu.

This was an outright crush, born from the confidence of a Super First Grade. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

No need, and no point in playing tricks, absolute power brings absolute domination!

Yet Wang Wu remained unmoved, seemingly an outsider looking in.

"Fall!"

In the next second, a gigantic claw descended from the sky above Wang Wu’s head. It seemed slow, but in reality, it sealed everything in, rendering Wang Wu invisible to onlookers, showing only a blood-red curtain, a despair, a suffocation, a suppression that made one tremble!

Everyone couldn’t help but wonder, if they were facing this scene, how would they counter it?

"This Mud Monarch has laid a very strong foundation!"

Grandpa Tree suddenly remarked.

"Blood curtain obscures the sky, the elephant is invisible, it has already attained an invincible position."

The Nine-tailed Emperor also commented lightly. It didn’t say it explicitly, but it was clear it didn’t have high hopes for Wang Wu.

How else can you play this?

"Five Elements Heaven Repair! It’s the Five Elements Heaven Repair! The Mud Monarch has unleashed Five Elements Heaven Repair, unbelievable! This is a divine technique driven by Qi and blood, evolving into a Five Elements Spirit Array, it’s too strong, almost unimaginable, because it requires extremely vigorous Qi and blood circulation, with over 5400 circulations per moment needed, and also an extremely high level of understanding and insight into the Five Elements Spirit Array!"

"Could the Mud Monarch be sealing victory in advance?"

"We haven’t even seen the Lying Flat Monarch make a move, is he really lying flat to take it?"

Outside the arena, the commentary kept up a passionate narration!

The audience was in an uproar.

Those who bet on the Mud Monarch winning were already smiling happily, the feeling of winning with hardly any resistance was just so—hmm?

At this moment, within the life-and-death duel ground, Wang Wu indeed had not made a move. At the instant the old turtle’s big move was pressing down, he took out a Third-Grade Hair, directly transposing himself, swapping places with a substitute.

In the moment when the self that was transformed from that Third-Grade Hair got obliterated, he entered a state of Passive Concealment, shrinking to the size of a rice grain, and forcefully freed himself from being locked on for a whole three seconds.

During these three seconds, the amateurs watched for fun, while the experts looked for the signs, only someone involved would be truly panicked!

Of course, the Mud Monarch didn’t believe that the opponent Wang Wu had been eliminated, but that he used an External Incarnation to break free of the lock, this wasn’t unforeseen, but unexpectedly powerful, and so smooth, almost completely ignoring the suppression of the Five Elements Heaven Repair.

Because ordinarily, once Five Elements Heaven Repair is out, it means all-weather, all-terrain, all-vision, all-status suppression, ordinary First-Grade Cultivators or First-Grade Great Demons would find the circulation of Qi and blood would decrease, or even freeze, unable to unleash any divine techniques, only distancing is the right answer.

But the issue is, this is a sealed, fixed arena of only five hundred li in radius, how to distance?

No solution!

But now, something is amiss.

So without hesitation, the Mud Monarch changed tactics, taking out two colorful, peculiar puppets, flinging them towards empty space; the two puppets transformed into two stunning beauties with fluttering clothes, gracefully executing the Hehuan Secret Technique dance!

This is the supreme secret technique of the human Hehuan Sect.

Possessing the effect of greatly enraging Qi and blood in a very short time.

Of course, this was also a bait...

"Oh? It seems that the Lying Flat Monarch is not simple; the Mud Monarch is unexpectedly so decisive, as old as I am, that should be the First-Grade Joyful Puppet of the Hehuan Sect’s Great Elder Nangong Piaoxue, priceless, and now the Mud Monarch actually activated two at once, this situation I did not anticipate!"

The commentator outside continued, while within the duel arena, Wang Wu indeed was under immense pressure, constantly moving around to avoid the Mud Monarch’s Five Elements Heaven Repair curtain, admitting the old turtle’s Qi and blood was too strong, with 5400 circulations per second, and the understanding of the Five Elements Spirit Array, it equates to carrying a Five Elements Spirit Array with him.

Hmm, it’s like carrying a set of virtual systems.

If installing a Five Elements Spirit Array inside Wang Wu’s body is like installing a licensed system, then the Mud Monarch’s is a virtual system.

But whether licensed or virtual, in the short term, the effects aren’t much different.

So Wang Wu didn’t dare to confront it head-on.

Going toe-to-toe with a 2800-year-old turtle with a very sturdy foundation, a total Qi and blood of twelve million points, upgraded to Super First Grade?

That’s seeking death.

No kidding, even someone like Lu Wuchen at a First-Grade level, facing the old turtle’s direct suppression with Five Elements Heaven Repair, wouldn’t last ten seconds.

Because its Qi and blood are so abundant, maybe its circulation count per heaven is slightly inferior to Wang Wu’s, but its total amount is overwhelming.

Right from the encounter, two million Qi and blood pressing in, like a mortal facing a mountain falling on them, like a cultivator feeling all of heaven and earth targeting them.

Forbidden Technique, Forbidden Qi and Blood, Forbidden Divine Techniques, Forbidden Treasure, other than maintaining a distance and kiting, nearly no better strategy exists.

Thus, it’s absolutely another arena champion cultivator...

So Wang Wu’s strategy was using his Passive Concealment to avoid the sharp edge.

However, the old turtle was also clever, directly going big and using items, in no time, under the enhancement of the Hehuan Secret Technique, the operation count of Qi and blood circulation skyrocketed from 5400 to 6000, and then from 6000 to 6500!

This kind of terrifying circulation count for Qi and blood, when fully unleashed, is extraordinarily shocking!

Especially since this guy’s Qi and blood are too ample, its Qi and blood released at this moment had already exceeded five million points, more than twice Wang Wu’s at present.

No help for it, Wang Wu’s five Ruyi Demon Pills were only at Fourth Grade, like an unripe little tree.

The opponent, however, has First-Grade and Second-Grade Demon Pills.

This Qi and blood is equivalent to its mana, like its high-powered engine.

Even if both sides have the same magical treasure, the same divine techniques, Wang Wu might inflict 1 damage, while the opponent can inflict 2 damage; this is the rationale.

This is also the opponent’s strategy.

Moreover, the opponent has a First-Grade Innate Bloodline Treasure at the ready.

Wang Wu could hardly imagine how powerful this First-Grade Innate Bloodline Treasure would become under such a terrifying augmentation of Qi and blood.

However, he didn’t get the chance to see it, because under the oppressive weight of this fearsome curtain of blood Qi, his Passive Concealment was directly exposed. But at that critical moment, his Level 18 Spirit Essence finally noticed a flaw in the Mud Monarch.

It was like the moment an upgraded Apocalypse Tank driven by the old turtle was about to roll over, Wang Wu found out that its engine had a hidden operational risk.

What he’s locked onto now is the loophole in the old turtle’s Five Elements Heaven Mending Virtual System.

That vast and imposing appearance, like a sky-covering curtain, like the combined force of heaven and earth, aiming to destroy everything—the loophole in the Five Elements Heaven-Repairing Divine Techniques!

This is very important.

If the likes of Snake Emperor, Nine-tailed Emperor, Grandpa Tree, Stone Demon, such super First-Grade cultivators were in the arena, even in the face of the old turtle’s Five Elements Heaven Repairing, they might find this loophole in a short time. Perhaps they won’t, but they could counterbalance with equal brute strength, engaging in a confrontation to find the loophole through changes.

If time were paused, and Lu Wuchen or She Shoujiu at this level were to take the field, they could actually find this loophole in a moment.

It’s not difficult, any cultivator who has comprehended and can skillfully control the Five Elements Spirit Array can generally do it.

But reality is not a what-if.

Because basically, no one can remain calm under such terrifying pressure of blood Qi.

So this is the preciousness of Level 18 Spirit Essence.

See through!

Identify the opponent’s loophole in the shortest time and interrupt it.

However, interrupting is not such an easy task!

"Roar!"

Wang Wu roared to the sky, in an instant, transforming into a giant bear over a thousand meters tall, simultaneously activating Level 6 Golden Body, Level 10 Fury, and finally stacking Level 9.5 Ruyi Body Technique!

In a flash, his body surged again to over three thousand meters high!

As a First-Grade Great Demon, this was indeed excessive, enough to exert immense pressure on most First-Grade cultivators.

However, facing a super First-Grade, it seemed a bit trivial.

"Hahaha! Mere bluffing! Take this!"

The Mud Monarch laughed out loud, the curtain of blood Qi suddenly pressed down, evolving three divine techniques in succession, eventually being able to stack an unknown great divine technique.

It had the victory within its grasp.

You are strong, very strong, but alas, I am stronger!

That’s the feeling!

But just as the sky-covering blood curtain encased Wang Wu like a dumpling, and as more blood Qi at the top morphed into a giant hammer about to strike down fiercely.

Wang Wu activated the Level 13 Tyrant Body Divine Techniques!

Level 13 Tyrant Body, 3 seconds of invincibility, can dissolve all divine technique controls and bindings of the same level.

This is not a means that only First-Grade cultivators possess.

A normal First-Grade Great Demon only has Level 9 Tyrant Body, at most Level 10, and rarely Level 11 which would already be amazing.

But Wang Wu’s Level 13 Tyrant Body is certainly, rightly named, genuinely, without any doubt, a big move only a super First-Grade could have!

Under his Level 13 Tyrant Body Divine Techniques, the three divine techniques of the Mud Monarch became nothing but illusions, no longer taking effect.

Only the last divine technique was still in a state of condensation and operation.

This very moment!

Wang Wu’s bear form did not change in any way, instead, he blew a breath towards the front, and that single, yet strongest, First-Grade hairs flew out, instantly transforming into his human form.

In the next moment, this human-shaped Wang Wu’s hands bloomed like lotus flowers, overlapping Dharma Seals spreading densely, a thousand in a second, a glance a million years, in an instant, the impoverished trail descended!

No, it’s not the infinite path!

But the impoverished trail.

The infinite path is just a metaphor; the impoverished trail truly exists. It’s a penetrating divine technique that Wang Wu casts at the cost of consuming a wisp of Divine Thought.

Yes, it extended from Level 18 Spirit Essence, requiring Divine Thought support to reach the greatest effect of the divine technique.

At that very moment, the bear-shaped Wang Wu suddenly extended a paw, lightly pointing into the void.

This very point, seemingly the simplest of actions, but like reality against illusion, directly burst the bubble! Also, like strangling the opponent’s lifeline!

With a snap, everything reset to zero.

See through!

Interrupt!

In one go!

The overwhelming blood Qi curtain of the Mud Monarch, which was menacing just a moment ago, seemed to suddenly lose control, suddenly disconnected, directly collapsing!

Becoming ownerless.
