Chapter 1032: Encountering a Formidable Enemy

After the six people stopped their movements, they looked ahead.

They saw that before Chen Jiaojiao and Xuan Ji, a figure had appeared, though they did not know when.

That figure wore a black dress, and her appearance was exactly the same as that of Bai Xianzi.

The moment they saw her face, the six people felt an instinctive shock in their hearts.

Immediately after, when they saw the slightly illusory body of this black-dressed figure, they simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

Is it just a power clone?

The six people exchanged a glance, then simultaneously charged toward the black-dressed Xiaobai.

Originally, after realizing that the black-dressed Xiaobai was only a power clone, the group did not pay her too much heed.

But as the battle unfolded.

The six people were greatly astonished.

The combat power of this power clone was surprisingly strong; she actually held off all six of them single-handedly!

"The energy contained within a power clone is limited; exhaust her power."

Among the six, one gritted their teeth and spoke.

The other five nodded upon hearing this.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just at this moment.

After Chen Jiaojiao and Xuan Ji gained a moment of respite, they rejoined the battlefield to share the pressure for the black-dressed Xiaobai's power clone.

For a time.

The situation on this battlefield changed abruptly.

From the initial precarious situation of Chen Jiaojiao and Xuan Ji, it had now turned into the six people from Outside the Realm being suppressed instead.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang looked toward the battlefield where Xiaobai was.

After Xiaobai separated a power clone, the aura on her body had declined somewhat.

But when confronting ten Great Vehicle cultivators from Outside the Realm, she still held the upper hand.

Wang Jianqiang breathed a sigh of relief at the sight.

His figure flashed, and he sought out a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator from Outside the Realm, joining the battle as well.

Time passed.

Wang Jianqiang continued his Slaughter Power, and his Primordial Spirit Origin Fragments were accumulating rapidly.

Although the accumulation speed of Artistic Conception Fragments was much slower compared to Primordial Spirit Origin Fragments, it was still quite considerable.

Whoosh~

A flash of lightning streaked by, and the body of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator with Level 2 Artistic Conception exploded.

Their Nascent Soul was completely annihilated under the eruption of Destruction Power.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for slaying a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator (Level 2 Artistic Conception), Primordial Spirit Origin Fragment +4, Artistic Conception Fragment +2."

In his mind, the system prompt sound had just rung out.

Wang Jianqiang felt a sudden chill in his heart, and an intense sense of crisis emerged.

With a single thought, a Black Tortoise Phantom appeared, shrouding him within it.

Ding~

The next moment, a sharp blade light descended from the sky, landing on the Black Tortoise Phantom.

The Black Tortoise Phantom did not provide much obstruction to the blade light before being slashed through, and the blade light continued to descend.

Wang Jianqiang's expression tightened.

He waved his palm.

A scroll appeared above his head.

Clatter~

The scroll unfurled, and a painting of a landscape world spread out.

A piece of Spirit Light projected from the scroll, manifesting mountains and rivers in the void...

It was as if the world within the painting had been shrunk and projected out.

After the blade light passed through the projected world, its speed slowed down immediately.

Within the projected world.

Mountains, vegetation, and rivers simultaneously erupted with powerful force, continuously wearing down the power of the blade light.

Finally.

The blade light cleaved through the projected world at a slow speed.

But after cleaving through the projected world, the power of the blade light was also mostly consumed.

The dimmed and much smaller blade light pierced through the final line of defense before Wang Jianqiang and landed on his body.

Ding~

Golden Light trembled on his body, he let out a muffled groan, his complexion instantly turned a few shades paler, and he staggered back a few steps.

He looked up at the sky, and a figure carrying a large blade appeared in his field of vision.

At this moment, this figure was maintaining the posture of a downward slash.

Clearly, that blade light had come from this person's hand.

The moment he saw the person in the sky, Wang Jianqiang's expression immediately became extremely grave.

Sixth Level Artistic Conception!

No wonder his Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art had been broken directly, and no wonder that even after he unleashed the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, he still hadn't been able to fully withstand the opponent's strike.

The refinement of Artistic Conception has three most important stages.

They are Level 3, Level 6, and Level 9, respectively.

These three levels represent Minor Accomplishment, Great Vehicle, and Consummation of Artistic Conception, respectively.

Upon reaching these three levels, the power of Intent Power will undergo a qualitative leap.

The degree of this leap far exceeds that of the improvements at other Artistic Conception levels.

The power of a Level 6 Artistic Conception is far beyond what a Level 5 Artistic Conception can compare to.

What's more, Wang Jianqiang is only at a First-Tier Artistic Conception.

With such a large gap, if not for the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map, he would likely have found it difficult to withstand even this single strike.

"To think you actually blocked my attack."

Just as Wang Jianqiang's expression turned grave, that figure carrying a large saber on their back suddenly spoke, "As expected of someone who could survive the pursuit of a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator."

"You have the qualifications to make me draw my saber."

While speaking, that person placed their hand on the large saber on their back and slowly drew it out.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang seemed somewhat wary and instinctively took a step back.

At the same time, his consciousness had already arrived within his Soul Sea.

He looked at the quantity of Primordial Spirit Origin Fragments and Artistic Conception Fragments.

After the previous Slaughter Power, the quantity of both Primordial Spirit Origin Fragments and Artistic Conception Fragments had increased tremendously.

"Primordial Spirit Origin Fragment: 248"

"Artistic Conception Fragment: 58"

After seeing the quantity of Primordial Spirit Origin Fragments, he moved his intent.

Fifteen tiny light orbs appeared in the outside world, above his palm.

"Oh?"

Seeing Wang Jianqiang suddenly take out some light orbs of unknown nature, the Level 6 Artistic Conception Cultivator in the air frowned.

Instinctively, they revealed a look of vigilance and did not act rashly.

Although the person before them was only a First-Tier Artistic Conception Cultivator, and the gap in their cultivation was immense.

But they were a fierce person who had survived an attack from a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator; regarding this person, they dared not have the slightest carelessness.

Just as this Level 6 Artistic Conception Cultivator revealed a look of vigilance, a suction force erupted from Wang Jianqiang's palm.

Those fifteen light orbs were instantly sucked into his palm, merging into his body without the slightest obstruction, and were then merged by him into his Soul.

As these light orbs merged into his Soul.

Wang Jianqiang once again entered that mysterious and profound state.

Flashes of his understanding regarding the Destruction Artistic Conception passed through his mind.

He clearly perceived some ambiguities and errors in his understanding of the Destruction Artistic Conception.

He moved his thoughts, constantly correcting the errors and comprehending a deeper level of Artistic Conception.

His understanding of the Destruction Artistic Conception began to leap forward.

In just an instant, it improved from a First-Tier Artistic Conception to Level 2.

After the Destruction Artistic Conception reached Level 2, she did not continue to take out Artistic Conception Fragments to contemplate the Destruction Artistic Conception.

Breaking through from a Level 2 Artistic Conception to a Level 3 Artistic Conception is a major threshold, and the consumption would be much greater than before.

According to his estimation, at least fifty Artistic Conception Fragments would be needed to break through.

Yet he now only had forty-three Artistic Conception Fragments remaining, not enough to continue supporting his breakthrough.

After his gaze flickered for a moment.

He quietly separated a wisp of his Soul and entered a Jade Bead Magic Treasure within his body.

This Jade Bead was precisely the spatial Magic Treasure that the Cultivators of the Gentleman Alliance had hidden inside back then.
