Chapter 331 The Breathtaking Gap in Strength
"Damn!" Feng Yu couldn't help but exclaim.
His joy at obtaining the treasure was instantly extinguished by the old man's oppressive aura.
Damn it, he was originally planning to perform a shamanic dance to celebrate obtaining the treasure he had always dreamed of. Now, it's a problem whether he can even get the Jade Sword out alive.
"What are we going to do? Four ants at the early stage of Golden Core are going to fight a cultivator at the early stage of Mahayana? Damn it, is this still a trial? This is murder!" Feng Yu shouted in exasperation.
Lin Yun and Bai Ke remained unusually silent, keeping their gaze fixed on the old man who exuded a powerful aura, their eyes flickering with uncertainty.
"Uncle Lin, do you have any good ideas?" Feng Yu asked anxiously as she stepped forward.
"Don't make a sound, I'm thinking!"
Lin Yun pulled Feng Yu's face aside, his expression more solemn than ever before.
Right now, only he and Bai Ke can remain calm.
At this moment, they were both frantically searching for a way to break the deadlock.
But no matter how they think about it or how they deduce the course of the battle, the final outcome is the same—certain death!
Trying to reach the Mahayana stage with the Golden Elixir is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or a mayfly trying to shake a tree!
Lin Yun couldn't help but fall into despair, while Bai Ke, though still pondering, looked increasingly grim.
The only one who is normal is Tian Xin.
As they advanced layer by layer, the enemy's strength was overwhelming. To her, there wasn't much difference between being a little stronger and being much stronger.
Seeing the extremely unpleasant expressions on Bai Ke and the others' faces, she couldn't help but frown and ask:
"What's wrong? Are the enemies on this floor troublesome?"
"It's more than just trouble, it's downright deadly! What were you thinking about the whole time? I told you, that old man over there is a cultivator at the early stage of the Mahayana realm. Figure it out yourself."
Feng Yu fumed and yelled, and after his outburst, Lin Yun and Bai Ke's moods soured.
"Early Mahayana stage... then, does that mean we have absolutely no chance of leaving the pagoda?"
Only then did Tian Xin come to her senses, covering her mouth in horror and making an expression of extreme shock.
"Alas, I'm doomed. It's such a pity about the Jade Divine Sword... a top-grade Heaven-rank magic weapon. One more step and it would be a Celestial-rank immortal treasure. But I can only enjoy it this once!"
Feng Yu sighed deeply, stroking the Miaoyu Divine Sword, his face full of resentment.
"Wait! I've got an idea!"
Lin Yun suddenly shouted, startling everyone. They all looked at Lin Yun, who was beaming with excitement. He pulled out a palm-sized pill and excitedly told everyone:
"The Mad Spirit Pill! It can raise one's cultivation level by an entire major realm! If our lord were to take it, combined with his surge of blood energy, he could at least rise another major realm to the Great Perfection of the late Nascent Soul stage. At that time..."
"So what if he's at the late stage of Nascent Soul? Uncle Lin, that old man is at the early stage of Mahayana, only one point weaker than me at my peak. Do you think Bai Ke, who's at the late stage of Nascent Soul, can beat me?"
Before Lin Yun could finish speaking, Feng Yu interrupted him, pouring cold water on his enthusiasm. The excited look in Lin Yun's eyes immediately dimmed, and he finally murmured weakly:
"Indeed, I thought that after our master advanced to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, he would have even more powerful means to kill that old man in one fell swoop. It turns out I was overthinking it..."
As Bai Ke listened to these words, his eyes lit up and a flash of inspiration struck him. He thought of a powerful divine ability that could kill an enemy across two major realms.
The ultimate technique of the second level of the God-Slaying Art of Heaven-Killing - Blood Sacrifice to All Heavens!
This move is an extremely powerful divine ability that can injure the enemy by a thousand while damaging oneself by eight hundred. It takes a long time to cast and will also unleash a powerful killing intent. Once it is used, it will inevitably alarm the old man and trigger a battle.
At the same time, this profound technique will consume a huge amount of spiritual power and abundant blood energy. After using it, Bai Ke will inevitably be exhausted for a day!
Therefore, Bai Ke's cultivation level must reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm to ensure he has enough spiritual power to continuously circulate the Nine Transformations of Blood Qi and stimulate his blood qi, while also being able to unleash the starting stance of this profound mystery.
The spiritual energy consumed by the blood sacrifice to the heavens can be replenished by taking Qi-replenishing pills. After the battles of the first eight levels, they have accumulated enough Qi-replenishing pills to continuously sustain Bai Ke's energy!
Most importantly, if this ultimate technique were successfully executed, Bai Ke was absolutely confident that he could kill the old man with a single blow.
Even cultivators at the early stage of Mahayana cultivation would have no chance of survival under the immense power of this profound mystery!
Thinking of this, Bai Ke was excited and immediately grabbed Feng Yu's hand and asked, "Elder Feng, how long can your Ten Directions Formation hold off that old man?"
Feng Yu was taken aback at first, but seeing Bai Ke's serious expression, he also became serious and answered while thinking:
"Well... with my current early stage of Golden Core cultivation, even if I activate the Ten Directions Array at full power, I can only hold him off for six breaths at most, without considering the destruction of the Ten Directions Array."
“Not enough. Is there any other way to buy us another four breaths? If you can hold him off for a total of ten breaths, I have a way to kill that old man!” Bai Ke said in a deep voice.
Seeing Bai Ke's confident demeanor, Lin Yun immediately probed his storage bag with his divine sense and began searching frantically.
The Demon-Slaying Talisman... No, it's not powerful enough; it's ineffective against Mahayana cultivators!
Even the Heaven-Sealing Crossbow... won't work. With my current early-stage Golden Core realm, I probably couldn't even scratch its skin!
Nine Star Beads... Boundary Separation Array... Reverse Void Spear... No, no!
What could possibly be used under these circumstances to hold back a Mahayana cultivator...?
A cultivator in the Mahayana stage... a gap in cultivation level... a low-grade magic weapon... I've got it!
As Lin Yun thought of this, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he suddenly thought of something that could be activated without spiritual power and could work regardless of one's cultivation level!
He hurriedly rummaged through his vast storage space, finally finding what he was looking for. He took it out, displayed it to everyone, and excitedly shouted:
"It can hold that old man off for three breaths!"
Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that the object Lin Yun had pulled out was actually a transparent spider web!
"What kind of magic weapon is this?" Feng Yu asked, puzzled.
“Strictly speaking, it’s not a magic weapon, but a spider web that the Sky-Weaving Spider spits out for one meter every hundred years! Once you’re entangled in this web, even a Mahayana cultivator can’t break free in an instant,” Lin Yun explained.
The spider web he was holding was at least five meters long, which shows how precious it was.
"Are you sure you can hold him off for three breaths?"
This is the question Bai Ke most wants to know...
