Chapter 244: Desperate Counterattack
Chapter 244: Desperate Counterattack
More than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators charged straight into their formation and immediately self detonated.
This completely unexpected method of combat instantly dragged everyone into a chain of explosions from Nascent Soul cultivators, creating a world shaking blast.
Even the surrounding space cracked open revealing pitch black rifts.
The sheer force had torn space apart, exposing the dark void beyond.
Severed limbs fell from the explosion, some of them swallowed by the void itself.
From the moment the enemies charged forward, Xiao Shou had a bad feeling.
He had originally thought they were targeting him as the one who had exposed their secrets and preparing to silence him, which was why he felt that sense of danger.
So when they rushed in, he immediately used his divine ability to summon thick and sturdy earth shields to protect their side.
At the same time, he activated the fox manifestation that enveloped the surrounding area.
Fu Young, the Gou siblings, and the other overseers were all within its protection.
Even so, the overwhelming sense of danger did not fade.
Xiao Shou could no longer worry about exposing the true power of the Void-Time Calyx.
He immediately infused it with temporal energy, trying to glimpse the enemy’s method of attack.
But by the time he saw that they intended to self detonate, it was already too late.
He could only throw out ten Tier 5 defensive talismans in succession.
At the same time, he activated his
newly refined defensive treasure made from ice silk worm threads, focusing all his power to shield his own group.
He controlled the Void-Time Calyx, ready to pull everyone into its internal space the moment the defenses broke.
As for the merit stored inside, that was no longer something he could afford to care about.
For Young who is standing beside him also saw a glimpse of the future through the projection of the Void-Time Calyx.
Without time to think, he instinctively activated both his bloodline ability and his divine eye, unleashing their combined power.
As the explosion from the self detonation of the Nascent Soul cultivators broke through the earth shields and the fox manifestation, injuring many overseers and shaking Xiao Shou, it continued surging toward his defensive treasure.
At that moment, countless blood red whirlpools suddenly appeared, devouring the violent spiritual energy.
At the same time, outside the barrier of the treasure, a massive osmanthus tree suddenly manifested.
It was over ten meters thick and more than fifty meters tall, its trunk enclosing Xiao Shou’s defensive treasure within it.
The tree stood there silently.
Yet every surge of violent energy that broke through the blood red whirlpools and struck the tree was instantly transformed.
The raging, destructive energy became gentle and harmonious, circling quietly around the osmanthus tree.
Somewhere in the Heaven Origin Realm, within a bustling marketplace,
A strikingly handsome man with black hair and black eyes, appearing to be in his twenties, stood watching the women passing below with clear amusement.
Seeing this, the person beside him said disdainfully, "Can you not act so desperate? Sitting here with you is embarrassing."
"If you feel embarrassed, you can leave. I never asked you to..." The man spoke casually, but his expression suddenly changed. He barked, "How dare you," and his figure vanished instantly.
The person across from him blinked in surprise. "Great teleportation? Why did he suddenly get angry and leave me here alone? Hmph!"
With an annoyed snort, he tossed down spirit stones to pay the bill and disappeared as well.
On the battlefield.
Inside the protective barrier of his spiritual treasure, Xiao Shou could no longer sense anything outside once the self detonation began.
He only knew that after his manifestation was shattered and his internal organs were shaken and injured, everything fell silent within just a few breaths.
The destructive power of the explosions was actually less than he had expected, but the unknown situation outside made him uneasy.
After the silence lingered, he cautiously opened a corner of the barrier to look outside.
Within a dozen meters, violent spiritual energy still lingered everywhere.
Of the dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators on their side, San Tu, Qing Shuang, and Tao Lin were in relatively better condition, but the others were all severely injured.
Their bodies were covered in wounds and their complexions pale gold as they hovered in the air.
Their eyes remained firm and unyielding, but their missing limbs told the truth.
Even with Xiao Shou’s earth shields and fox manifestation providing layered defense, their own defenses had only managed to withstand the most fatal damage.
Their bodies had still been heavily destroyed.
In such a state, how could they continue fighting the remaining ninety or so enemies?
Seeing this, Xiao Shou did not stop to consider that as Nascent Soul cultivators they should have creation pills to restore their bodies.
He immediately opened the defensive treasure completely.
At the same time, he formed hand seals and mobilized the life force stored within his middle dantian, merging it into the technique.
"Life Restoration Art."
Unconsciously, Xiao Shou murmured the name of the spell he had created.
As his voice fell, a cloud of dense life filled spiritual energy formed around him and surged toward all the allied cultivators.
In an instant, their smaller wounds healed.
Their severed limbs began to regenerate.
"What amazing healing technique. Even my internal injuries are restored."
"My Nascent Soul damage has been healed as well."
"What an incredible regeneration art."
"It works even better than creation pills."
"He must be a medical cultivator."
Amid the chorus of praise, Xiao Shou’s self created healing technique came to an end.
He quickly checked and found that everyone’s injuries had mostly recovered.
His own internal injuries had already been healed by the overflowing life force.
Just as he let out a breath of relief, three figures suddenly appeared from three different directions around him.
At the same moment, they launched attacks aimed directly at his vital points.
A spatial spiritual root cultivator.
