Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 262 - 162: Strength Against Strength, Pride Against Pride!

Chapter 262: Chapter 162: Strength Against Strength, Pride Against Pride!

It seems like it’s that unfamiliar Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator who appeared on the Wind Moon Sect’s flying ship.

Regarding this, both he and Tian Hunzi had their guesses. It was either a hidden Foundation Establishment Late Stage Elder of the Wind Moon Sect or a rogue Foundation Establishment brought in by Situ Jiang from outside.

Initially, neither he nor Tian Hunzi paid it much attention. After all, it was just one more Foundation Establishment Late Stage at most. Besides, Celestial Soul Hall’s original target, apart from the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, was to capture Qi Chuan, who was a lone Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator, and the latter occupied a significant portion of their focus.

But now, it seems this unfamiliar Wind Moon Sect Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator is somewhat extraordinary. Like himself, they could also reduce the abnormal pressure of the lake water to some extent and even moved ahead of him.

However, could this person be too confident? To turn back and intercept him at this moment, trying to prevent him from reaching the battlefield to compete for the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, to increase support for their Sect Leader?

"Heh, some special method to reduce the abnormal pressure of the lake water, and you really think your strength is that formidable?" Luo Golden Body’s face revealed a trace of coldness.

As the top Foundation Establishment Late Stage Elder of Celestial Soul Hall, his strength was undeniable. Not to mention Celestial Soul Hall, even when looking across the Land of the Five Sects, he was likely among the top tier of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.

As long as they were not at Foundation Establishment Perfection, he, Luo Golden Body, feared no one!

"Let me see what you’re really capable of." Luo Golden Body said indifferently, but his transformed Escape Light showed no hesitation and charged directly toward Qi Chuan’s transformed Escape Light.

Swish Swish!

Two Escape Lights sped past through the dark blue lake water, the distance between them constantly decreasing until they were not far apart.

At this point, Luo Golden Body suddenly halted his Escape Light, tapped the Qiankun Bag at his waist, and immediately, a glow of artifact light surged forth.

Within the glow was a dark blue trident, its three sharp blades reflecting a chilling cold light. Where it pointed, the dark blue lake water was easily torn apart. It was so effortlessly torn that it seemed as though the water voluntarily parted before the trident even touched it.

In the body of the trident, eight Tier Two Water Attribute Demon Pills were embedded, and at the top of the handle was even a Tier Two Top Grade Water Attribute Demon Pill.

This means the trident was actually a Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifact!

Summoning this dark blue trident, a faint trace of self-satisfaction appeared on Luo Golden Body’s face.

This trident, also called the Trident of the Sea God, was originally named the Dark Blue Halberd. Luo Golden Body found it unpleasant to hear, so he gave it a new name.

The reason he outshone all the Foundation Establishment Elders of Celestial Soul Hall, except for Tian Hunzi, and regarded himself so highly that he thought few Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators in the Land of the Five Sects could match him, was largely because of this Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifact named the Trident of the Sea God.

Moreover, the reason he could reduce some of the abnormal pressure from the lake water was also thanks entirely to this Trident of the Sea God’s special nature.

Therefore, as soon as he summoned the Trident of the Sea God, a sense of security welled up within him.

Then, he looked coldly at Qi Chuan, who was not far away, performed a hand seal, and chanted. Mana from his Dantian was catalyzed, and with a faint "swoosh," the dark blue Trident of the Sea God slightly trembled in front of him, transforming into a dark blue light blade that shot towards Qi Chuan at extreme speed.

Wherever the dark blue light blade passed, all the dark blue lake water automatically tore apart and parted, much like a swarm of sardines would scatter before a shark swooping in to hunt, allowing the dark blue light blade through unhindered.

"A Tier Two Top Grade Water Attribute Spiritual Artifact?"

Not far off, Qi Chuan had already paused his Escape Light, looking in some surprise at the incoming dark blue light blade. He hadn’t expected Luo Golden Body to have a Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifact too, and it seemed the reason he could reduce some of the abnormal pressure from the lake water was indeed thanks to this Water Attribute Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Possessing such an Artifact put him at a significant advantage over other Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators, so it was no wonder that Luo Golden Body had a certain reputation even in the Land of the Five Sects.

However, if he thought he could rely solely on a Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifact to deal with him, then wasn’t he underestimating him?

"Vibrating Annihilation Sword!"

With his mind set, Qi Chuan opened his mouth, and in the next moment, a faint golden sword light shot out from his mouth. After hovering for a brief moment, it slashed out towards the incoming dark blue light blade.

This sword strike wasn’t flashy; it was a simple slash, yet its speed was incredibly fast, even faster than the dark blue light blade!

Clang Clang!

In a split second, the faint golden sword light and the dark blue light blade collided under the watchful eyes of Qi Chuan and Luo Golden Body. In that instant, they clashed dozens of times, the sound of metal striking metal echoing continuously, and neither side showed any sign of weakness.

"How can this be? The opponent also has a Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifact?"

Witnessing this, Luo Golden Body’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He originally thought that once he unleashed his Trident of the Sea God, even if he couldn’t immediately resolve the Magical Combat with the opponent, he would certainly gain some advantage.

But who would have thought that the opponent would also bring out a Tier Two Top Grade Spiritual Artifact, bridging the gap between them? And it appeared that this Top Grade Spiritual Artifact wasn’t any weaker than his Trident of the Sea God, even giving him a faint feeling that it was stronger, making him uneasy.

"It seems like Situ Jiang is quite generous, or perhaps he had no choice in a moment of crisis?" Luo Golden Body sneered as he looked at Qi Chuan. He obviously didn’t believe that without Situ Jiang’s assistance, this unfamiliar Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator could have obtained such a fine Top Grade Spiritual Artifact.

"However, with Spiritual Artifacts being on the same level, it will now come down to whose Magical Power Foundation is deeper..." Luo Golden Body wasn’t worried; rather, he was confident. Having delved into the Foundation Establishment Late Stage for many years, the opponent was unfamiliar to him. If they were a recently hidden Foundation Establishment Late Stage of the Wind Moon Sect, then most likely they had only recently broken through, or at least not for a long time, so their Magical Power Foundation might not be particularly deep.

And in the case of Spiritual Artifacts being on the same level, if one party has a deeper Magical Power Foundation, they could win through this advantage, even overcoming slight deficiencies in the Spiritual Artifacts.

Because of his confidence in his own Magical Power Foundation, Luo Golden Body had no fear of prolonging this with the opponent.

"Trying to win by relying on the Magical Power Foundation?" Qi Chuan also saw through Luo Golden Body’s intentions.

To be honest, thanks to the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique and breaking through the upper limit of the Magical Power Foundation, Qi Chuan experienced a huge surge in his Magical Power Foundation when stepping into the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Just with his Magical Power Foundation alone, he was unafraid of most of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators. However, compared to top-tier Foundation Establishment Late Stage powerhouses like Luo Golden Body, he might still be a bit lacking, though not by much.

Because the gap wasn’t large, Luo Golden Body couldn’t possibly win by relying solely on the Magical Power Foundation, or it would be extremely difficult to do so.

Still, Qi Chuan didn’t intend to drag this out for too long.

If it took too long, by the time the battle ended, the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi might already have a new owner.

He had to resolve it quickly, even if Luo Golden Body was quite formidable.

"Since you have the most confidence in your Top Grade Spiritual Artifact and your deep Magical Power Foundation, then I will defeat you in what you are most proud of." murmured Qi Chuan.

Immediately afterward, the seal in his hand suddenly transformed.

"Vibrating Annihilation Sword! Spirit Devouring Sword Gang! Sword Gang Transformation!"

With a mental shout, Qi Chuan directed his focus, and the body of the Vibrating Annihilation Sword entangled with the dark blue light blade emitted a faint tremor, from which layers of Sword Gang emerged, enveloping the flying sword entirely, flickering and rising, and in an instant, the momentum changed dramatically.
