Chapter 720 - 283: Flying Treasure—It Might Be a Dud (Part 2)

Chapter 720: Chapter 283: Flying Treasure—It Might Be a Dud (Part 2)

But growing up under constant discussion and hidden mockery, as a Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator facing someone at the Second-Layer, who’s merely an Alchemy Master, yet I’m slightly at a disadvantage and gradually overwhelmed, it’s bound to spark countless discussions, mockery, and contempt...

This is something he absolutely could not tolerate.

His eyes turned crimson instantly, and at the moment he retrieved the ringing flying treasure, he quickly activated it.

Buzz~!

Immediately, True Essence Power flowed within the flying treasure, triggering its internal true technique.

Boom!

The bell exploded in an instant, turning into flying ash.

However, at the same time, a terrifying wave was released, rushing towards Zhou Changwang with astonishing speed.

It completely ignored the defensive spiritual light of the Nine-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower he wielded, piercing straight through his already perfect Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Light Shield and into his mind.

"This is..."

Li Yuansheng, the ancestor of the Li Family, was watching from a distance; his whole body shuddered immediately.

"What’s wrong?"

The Patriarch Li asked in confusion.

"Flying treasure.

This is flying treasure.

And it’s the strongest, most enigmatic Spiritual Sense Attack flying treasure..."

Li Yuansheng’s eyes widened with a complex expression, sighed, shook his head, and said, "We don’t need to intervene.

Kunpeng Daoist is done for."

"Huh?

What kind of treasure is this flying treasure?"

Clan Leader Li had never heard of such a treasure and couldn’t help but ask.

"Flying treasure is a type of one-time attack treasure.

The materials used are not much different from genuine treasure artifacts.

But it can only be used once; once unleashed, the item is internally destroyed.

On the flip side, the power that can be unleashed by this flying treasure becomes incredibly formidable.

Lower Grade Treasure Level flying treasures can fully unleash an attack comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator’s full-force level.

Moreover, it’s not just an ordinary late-stage attack but comparable to a Eighth or even Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator’s full-force attack.

The Spiritual Sense Attack flying treasure is the same.

In other words, when Elder Tian Can uses this ringing flying treasure, it’s actually equivalent to an Eighth or even Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator’s Spiritual Sense Attack.

Although Kunpeng Daoist is strong.

At most, he’s merely an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with naturally low spiritual sense strength.

Hence, his defense against Spiritual Sense Attack techniques can’t be too strong either.

Maybe he can withstand attacks from cultivators of the same realm, even mid-stage ones.

But late-stage Foundation Establishment level?

Impossible.

If he can’t withstand it... no, there is no "if"; he surely can’t withstand it, then no matter how exquisite and brilliant his swordsmanship techniques, he won’t be able to maintain it, or he’ll be killed by Elder Tian Can’s counterattack.

And we’re too far away from them; even if we wanted to aid him, we couldn’t.

Kunpeng Daoist is bound to die this time.

Such a pity, for such a genius.

If he rises, the future holds great promise.

But now..."

He spoke quickly, shaking his head regretfully.

On the scene, very few cultivators knew about this special treasure, so they were initially stunned when the bell appeared and shattered immediately, but then they couldn’t help but laugh.

Clan Leader Li also thought so, and hearing this, was surprised, quickly widening his eyes to look at the battlefield.

Then, blinking and opening his mouth hesitantly, he said, "That Kunpeng Daoist seems alright?"

Li Yuansheng, who was feeling empathetic and unwilling to see a genius fall, was also stunned by these words, immediately reacted, and quickly looked at the battlefield.

He also exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

In the battlefield, Zhou Changwang stood, seemingly unaffected by the opponent’s attack, his expression unchanged, even his eyes without a hint of agitation, just watching the opponent, controlling the sword array, which transformed into spiritual light and charged forth again.

"How is this possible?"

Elder Tian Can, who was about to pursue and strike down the enemy, showed a look of disbelief, angrily shouting, "How can you be completely unaffected?"

"This is flying treasure?"

Zhou Changwang curiously asked. He had only seen descriptions of this special treasure in some texts; in reality, he had never encountered it.

Unexpectedly, his first encounter was during its explosion.

He felt even more grateful.

Luckily, he had obtained a Divine Sense Defense Secret Technique, Divine Light Shield Technique, early through Qian Xiaoyue.

He had even practiced it to the Realm of Perfection early on.

Otherwise, facing this Spiritual Sense Attack flying treasure comparable to a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator’s full-force attack, it would be hard to resist.

Even with his Perfection Level Divine Light Shield Technique, when actually defending against this flying treasure’s attack, it showed a bit of fatigue, and its defensive spiritual light faded directly by sixty to seventy percent.

If this Spiritual Sense Attack flying treasure’s power were three times stronger, his Divine Light Shield Technique might not be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Feeling grateful in his heart, Zhou Changwang spoke, "But friend, this flying treasure seemed to malfunction.

It couldn’t exert any effect; it was just a dud."

Speaking, he appropriately showed a hint of doubt and affirmation.

Then, he solemnly spoke,

"But it’s not polite not to reciprocate.

Since you’ve used flying treasure, I can’t keep hiding; it’s time to end this battle."

On the other side, Elder Tian Can, upon hearing Zhou Changwang say that this flying treasure malfunctioned and was a dud, froze entirely.

Muttering Zhou Changwang’s words over and over: "It’s just a dud... It’s just a dud..."

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart.

Could it be that those geniuses are truly favored by the heavens, that even this assured strike could have unexpected twists?

Could it be that my fate is truly bitter? Having been careful all my life, finally showing backbone in my old age, finding a chance to assassinate a genius, and yet there’s an unexpected twist?

And while Elder Tian Can was stunned, Zhou Changwang wasn’t.

He had been using the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation to block the enemy, actually testing his sword against the opponent.

He had previous opportunities to battle Ye Hongyi and others.

But he worried about Ye Yanshu coming at any time, so he couldn’t fully employ all the variations and applications of the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation in one go.

He needed to eliminate Ye Hongyi swiftly.

Everything seemed rushed.

But facing Elder Tian Can now, he didn’t need to.

Though Elder Tian Can was stronger, with more cunning techniques.

This made him an excellent test subject, allowing Zhou Changwang’s proficiency in the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation to become more skillful and sophisticated.

Even the Sword Array Realm improved significantly.

Although still at the Realm of Small Success, it had progressed from Small Success (75/400) to Small Success (388/400).

With just a bit more practice, he would reach the Great Success Realm.

The Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation at the Great Success Realm would be even more powerful and fearsome.

Even now, though the formation was still at the Realm of Small Success, its actual power had much increased from when he first battled Elder Tian Can.

This is why he was gradually gaining the upper hand, even as Elder Tian Can exhausted his means yet remained helpless.

He initially planned to end the battle quickly once the Thirty-Six Flying Heaven Sword Formation reached Great Success.

But upon seeing Elder Tian Can bring out even flying treasure, he feared he might produce another talisman treasure like Ye Hongyi.

Plus, he didn’t want to expose all his strength or the fact his swordsmanship power was rapidly increasing before many cultivators.

So, without hesitation, he moved his eyes and used the Shocking God Needle.

Another Divine Sense Attack Secret Technique.

But Zhou Changwang’s Shocking God Needle was silent and subtle.

Immediately upon release, it rushed in front of Elder Tian Can and without any delay, went straight in.
