Chapter 240: Charging Straight into the Wutong (Please Subscribe)

Boom!

Cui Wei erupts, Du En launches a fierce assault!

Having observed enough and taken the opportunity to provoke and distract him, the five-zhang giant cannon, quietly wrapped in ice, crashed down a step ahead, directly covering Cui Wei entirely and shaking the Phoenix Blood Wutong tree so violently that its branches and leaves couldn't help but tremble!

"..."

Du En remains silent, suddenly choosing to shift his body to dodge.

The next moment, a barrage of flaming arrows comes sweeping in.

Flaming Arrow Swarm, a high-grade spell, at the Initial Mastery stage.

Cui Wei was not crushed to death by the sudden fierce assault and took the opportunity to launch his own offensive.

The next moment, the giant cannon shatters; he is disheveled, baring fangs and brandishing claws.

"Hahaha! What can you do to me!"

Laughing loudly, he launches another move.

One trick is enough to conquer all!

It is the Flaming Arrow Swarm again!

Even though it is merely a high-grade spell at the Initial Mastery stage, and with Cui Wei's weak first-rate strength—which was forced up through sheer accumulation—it is even more inferior in form, yet it still forces Du En to dodge repeatedly, not daring to face it head-on!

The reason is actually very simple.

The Phoenix Blood Wutong!

This fellow Cui Wei, not knowing what secret art he used, has actually become tightly intertwined with this spirit tree, which carries the remnant blood of a phoenix and has grown to the fourth-tier peak.

The Flaming Arrow Swarm is not scary; what is scary is the hidden murderous intent that might be lurking within it!

Du En ponders, already having an idea.

Thus, he turns around directly and flies back.

"Want to run? No way!"

The veins of the Spirit-Nurturing Land suddenly inhale spirit Qi, thick as water; amidst the tremors, curtains of spirit light rise up, densest here at the deep valley, and for a moment, Du En is trapped in a crevice somewhere within them.

At the same time, Cui Wei casts spells repeatedly; the quality of his magic power is not high, but the quantity is sufficient, and the Flaming Arrow Swarms pour out like spilled water, which at least lives up to Du En's previous psychological expectations.

Boom, boom, boom...

The dense flaming arrows crowd into the crevice where Du En is located, directly triggering a chain of explosions, and in the end, even several of the spirit light curtains are blasted to pieces.

The next moment, a mud-cast giant hand embedded with crystals reaches out from the unscattered explosive flames; no matter how scorching these flames are, they struggle to form any effective damage.

The giant stone statue rumbles forward, unstoppable, and with one punch, it shatters a section of the spirit light curtain!

When it comes down to it, regardless of what the Immortal Sect expects for the future of the Phoenix Blood Wutong, at least for now, the spirit Qi allocated here is still limited to fourth-tier quality within the region, and only when added together does it reach a fourth-tier total.

With such fine subdivisions, these spirit light curtains are merely the scraps left over from the dispersed total, remaining only at the third tier, so naturally, they cannot block a punch from Du En's Statue-Casting Art.

The Phoenix Blood Wutong sways slightly; Cui Wei does not look back and hurriedly casts spells to respond.

You have mud-stone statues, and I am not someone who only knows one move.

"Rise!"

Ga, ga, ga...

One by one, white-bone corpses that still appear fresh, carrying bits of flesh and bloodstains, assemble into a skeletal giant amidst teeth-aching sounds, blocking the path of the mud-stone statue.

Both sides raise their fists and fight each other without any flair.

Bang, bang, bang...

Mud and stone splatter, bones fly in disarray.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

More statues take form and join the battle.

Cui Wei grinds his teeth and continues to cast spells, making more skeletal giants stand up to fight in pairs.

For a time, in the deep valley, mud-stone statues battle skeletal giants; both sides fight until the spirit light curtains are worn away, and the veins of the Spirit-Nurturing Land are also destroyed in many places without anyone noticing.

Furthermore, golden flames, unbeknownst to anyone, burn beneath the central pillar of the deep valley, turning all the bones piled up in the surroundings into fly ash.

By the time Cui Wei is covered in sweat and realizes it, the flames have already burned to his own feet.

"Damn fellow! Detestable genius!"

Cui Wei is full of jealousy, yet he cannot spare the energy.

Because at this moment, all over the deep valley, dozens of colossal monsters are fighting in full swing, reaching a white-hot state.

So, how does this brat still have the energy to set fires?

Cui Wei truly cannot understand this.

Relying on his advantage in realm, logically speaking, even if it is difficult to widen the gap in raw strength, he should be stronger than his opponent in this kind of multi-threaded, delicate operation.

Because of divine sense.

If divine sense is strong and covers a wide area, one can observe more finely and in greater detail, adjust the flow and control of magic power in a timely manner, and bear the burden of more spells.

Because it represents the projection of the divine soul; only if the divine soul is strong enough will mental toughness naturally be higher, allowing one to control and support the casting of more spells simultaneously.

Especially for techniques like controlling artifacts, manipulating giant statues and monsters, and other spells that require extra delicacy, as well as combined casting and overlapping usage, all require a powerful divine soul to bear the load!

And this is normally considered a realm advantage.

No matter how much of a genius Du En is, at the Golden Core early stage, he should not be able to realize this potential; after all, he hasn't even opened his Divine Palace, and his divine soul is still in a dormant, mysterious state.

So Cui Wei truly cannot understand.

Nothing else, just accumulation!

If asked, Du En might answer this way.

Day by day, month by month, every breakthrough in cultivation art, every breakthrough in realm, and every breakthrough in spells is actually, silently and imperceptibly, causing the strength and toughness of the divine soul to accumulate constantly; it is just that sometimes it is obvious, and sometimes it is not.

Therefore, after he broke through to the Golden Core stage, he naturally understood that the key point of being a genius actually lies in this aspect of the divine soul.

The reason the Spirit Severing stage becomes the watershed between the elite and the geniuses is also based on this point.

But after all, the Divine Palace has not yet opened, and the potential in this aspect has not truly been realized, so Du En was not complacent or arrogant; his current focus was placed on only one point.

Phoenix Blood Firmiana!

This spiritual tree seemed to have no great sense of participation, but for some reason, it always gave him a chilling feeling!

Therefore, he decided to first use the Golden Flame Art to probe it.

The result could also corroborate his own thoughts.

It could not burn deep, it could not burn in!

It could only scorch the area around Cui Wei's feet, burning away the bones attached to the deep valley pillar where he stood, which made him look like a crane in a flock of chickens, but whether it was going upward or inward, it could not burn in at all; there was a kind of invisible barrier!

Du En did not do any more useless work and immediately chose to dispel this spell.

The brilliant golden flames quickly dissipated, and Cui Wei immediately laughed out loud: "Young man, you can't hold on anymore, right? It really is..."

Before he had even finished speaking, he watched in a daze as Du En, who would not strike unless necessary, unleashed a thunderous momentum the moment he did!

Four hundred third-rank magical artifacts took flight, their target clear, pointing straight at the Phoenix Blood Firmiana!

Charge!

Swish, swish, swish...

Spiritual light of various colors erupted, manifesting into all sorts of forms, with various artifact restrictions linking together to absorb spiritual Qi, mixing with his thick mana to fully unleash their own power.

It looked like normal artifact control, so, of course, these were all illusions!

While the Phoenix Blood Firmiana shook its branches and leaves, appearing vaguely hesitant, the third-rank magical artifacts had already broken through the curtain of spiritual light, arrived before it, and then, directly exploded, exploded, exploded!

The magical artifacts controlled by Du En were always meant to be exploded!

Four hundred third-rank magical artifacts, from high-grade to low-grade, detonated, which was equivalent to four hundred Golden Core stage cultivators unleashing their life-risking strikes here, all attacking a single point together.

?!!!

The Phoenix Blood Firmiana also did not expect this situation, and caught off guard, it directly took this wave of suicide-style strikes head-on.
