Chapter 313: Chapter 181: Battle of the Same Tier and Level (2)
"Unyielding Heart’s Extreme Battle Intent... So you did receive the War God’s legacy."
"And yet, you’re a Root Mage."
"You’ve even grasped an Extreme Intent of your own."
"And on top of that..."
He looked at the War Spear in Lu Cang’s hands. Countless souls now swirled around it, constantly maintaining its strength and protecting it from harm.
"You’re a Death Priest, too."
"This is really... the first time I’ve met such an interesting opponent."
Lu Cang spoke calmly as well. "I, on the other hand, am quite curious how you survived just now."
"Heh heh..."
"After living nine lifetimes, how could I not have a few tricks up my sleeve to stay alive?"
The youth sneered.
But he refused to tell Lu Cang the real reason.
Lu Cang sighed inwardly. ’He’s usually so chatty, but now of all times, he clams up.’
"Since you say Sword Saints are a dime a dozen..."
A Magic Staff materialized in the hand of the white-haired, red-eyed youth.
"I’ll let you have a taste of something other than what a Sword Saint can do."
"Tier Three Destruction Magic."
At the same time, Lu Cang pointed his War Spear at the white-haired, red-eyed youth.
"Tier Three Root Magic."
Source·Reflection of the Past
SWISH!
Several mirrored surfaces appeared behind the white-haired, red-eyed youth!
VMMMM—
The sixteen Soul Condensing True Bursts from before had already formed once more!
The white-haired, red-eyed youth felt the sixteen Soul Condensing True Bursts appear all around him.
The smile on his face twisted.
’This guy.’
’Just how many times is he going to use my own Root Magic against me?’
BOOM!
In that instant, space contracted and collapsed!
With no time to counter Lu Cang’s Magic with his own, the white-haired, red-eyed youth vanished.
Lu Cang raised a hand—
His gaze flickered to a spot where the white-haired, red-eyed youth had not yet appeared.
Source·Future Technique
’Oh...’
’In a moment, he’ll appear right there.’
Then, Lu Cang laid a trap in the future: a Soul Condensing True Burst.
Within that future timeline, the Soul Condensing True Burst finished condensing, sacrificing a soul, and preparing for detonation ahead of schedule.
SWISH!
Just half a second later, the white-haired, red-eyed youth appeared in the exact spot Lu Cang had glanced at!
And the moment he arrived—
BOOM!
The space there suddenly imploded as the Soul Condensing True Burst detonated instantly!
But in the next instant, Lu Cang spun around, bringing his War Spear up to defend!
A hundred layers of Shields formed!
BOOM!
The youth had appeared behind him again!
In an instant, the two were a whirlwind of clashing Combat Skills!
They clashed head-on, their war spears, swords, Shields, and Magic all colliding.
The aftershocks of their collision sent countless elemental fluctuations rippling outward!
"Weren’t you going to show me something besides your Sword Saint skills? Why are you still just using a sword?"
"Who said I haven’t?"
A warning blared in Lu Cang’s mind, coming from above!
He looked up to find that, at some point without him noticing, the sky had filled with numerous floating, cannon-like structures.
Floating Cannons, humming with a futuristic feel.
They looked utterly out of place in this world of swords and Magic.
’Level 3 Mechanician.’
’Come to think of it, I’ve almost never seen a Mechanician in Lorren.’
’Although Lorren allows Mechanicians to exist...’
’...in practice, no one there handles the class change to become one.’
’To become a Mechanician, you’d have to go to Ruijia, or even to a continent outside of Ruelun.’
’So this is what a Mechanician can do?’
The Floating Cannons in the sky seemed to multiply on their own, one becoming two, and two becoming four.
By the time he realized it,
the sky was already filled with them!
Every single cannon was aimed at Lu Cang.
BOOM!
Beams of light from the Floating Cannons rained down!
Lu Cang’s body withstood the damage from the countless Floating Cannons, but many of the beams actually pierced through his Shields!
They slammed into his Armor.
"Tch."
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, the temperature plummeted!
Source·Cold Forbidden Technique—Era of Absolute Ice Seal (Tier Four) (Level 301)
CRACK—
In an instant, the entire battlefield was coated in a layer of frost.
The wave of frost washed over the countless Floating Cannons. They instantly froze solid, were encased in ice, and then plummeted to the ground like giant hailstones.
"A Church Forbidden Technique?"
"You know this, too?"
The white-haired, red-eyed youth was utterly shocked, feeling the chill that had instantly enveloped everything.
’This kid in front of me.’
’Is this really his first life?’
’How does he know so many things? How can he have learned so much, yet be an absolute master of every skill?’
’Is he really just a kid about my age?’
’And not some ancient monster at the end of his lifespan?’
"But I know it, too!"
WHOOSH—
With a single thought, he unleashed the same Cold Forbidden Technique!
However, when his Frozen White Realm burst forth, it was swiftly suppressed by Lu Cang’s Magic!
’No...’
’This isn’t an ordinary Forbidden Technique!’
’It’s a Tier Four... a much more powerful version!’
His first instinct, upon recognizing Lu Cang’s Church Forbidden Technique, was to counter with the very same skill.
But a moment later, he hastily realized his mistake.
’This Forbidden Technique is completely different from the standard version!’
A Tier Three skill at Level 100 and a Tier Four skill at Level 301...
They were on two completely different planes of existence!
BOOM!
The extreme cold raged on!
At the same time, other elements like hail, tempests, and thunder began to stir within the storm!
’Since you’re so good at running...’
’...I’ll just cover the entire battlefield and leave you nowhere to escape.’
SWISH!
Suddenly, the frozen ground was littered with corpses that had appeared from nowhere.
The youth’s sword slashed out, becoming a single, fine line!
Swordsmanship Second Form·Heaven and Earth Connecting One Line
But Lu Cang’s figure had already vanished. In his place, a corpse appeared, exploding in a shower of ice against the youth’s sword!
Lu Cang reappeared in a far corner of the grand hall.
WHOOSH!
And in the very next instant,
another blindingly fast beam of light shot toward his new position!
