Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 461 - 461: How About You Fight Someone Your Size?
As the audacious thought gradually grows in his mind, the immortal-like young man no longer just thinks of neutralizing or delaying Long Yangxue until his backing arrives, but rather in his mind, plans of him dealing devastating blow or possibly even a lethal one already starts forming, taking into account the fact that it appears like this old man gets a bit sloppier every time he gets angrier.
While having such thoughts though, he couldn’t help but notice the sinister smile appearing on the face of the old monster in front of him, the smile of someone who is clearly plotting a low blow that will be the decisive part of the battle.
Instinctively, the immortal-like young man disappears from his current position and moves his body so that he is blocking direct sight from the ancient man and the territory of the Dao Seeking Mountain, some couple of kilometers from their spot, a wise decision on his part as the old man starts bombarding that direction with everything he got the next moment.
“HAHAHAHAHAH! So what if you’re still powerful even now boy?! What the hell can you even do other than defend!! Let’s see if I run out of qi or that turtle shell of yours break first!!” the old man stated with a maniacal smile on is face as he watches the immortal-like young man being hit by all the waves of attack he is throwing in his way, the satisfaction of finally having the upper hand making him filled with glee as he already starts planning on how to deal with the immortal-like young man after this.
‘Might as well capture him alive, if we can’t turn him into a living puppet, then I will have that master alchemist research his body and turn him into a pill… perhaps… consuming a human pill of his talent might even help me reach the next realm…’
As thoughts start to float around Long Yanxue’s mind, something that shouldn’t be known to public not only due to how vicious, but also how frowned upon the ideas he’s thinking are, the smile on his face grows wider and wider as he only sees benefits of completely subduing the immortal-like young man and not a single harm at all.
‘What the hell can Hua Xingtian and his brothers even do for a dead man…’ the ancient man thought to himself as he now becomes all but certain that it is only a matter of time until he subdues the figure in front of him, his mind screaming of his common sense refusing to believe that his opponent can keep up this defensive state of his for longer.
‘Tsk… this fucking crazy old man… didn’t he even think of his descendant being there? I thought he was targeting the Dao Seeking Mountains for his descendant?’ having just stood there as his body receives each and every single blow of powerful attacks supposedly heading towards the area where the Dao Seeking Mountains is.
‘It would be a problem even with this…’ he thought to himself as he looked at the only thing that was protecting the Dao Seeking Mountains from the aftershocks of their exchanges right now, something that he brought from the main system that he thought would be enough for this current situation.
[Nine Star Heavenly Array]
[Creates a domain that spans a thousand meters in radius. Inside it, the array masters are the absolute beings, with everyone entering getting suppressed to the realm below theirs, its effect not sparing even celestials. Attacks from the outside will not penetrate the array, but attacks from inside can go out of the array. The array can have as many as nine masters simultaneously.]
With this array alone, it should’ve been fine even if he let the attacks go, and everything within it will be protected without any problem, however, the territory of the Dao Seeking Mountains is not a mere thousand meters in radius, and with the room him and his friends and family are previously on being the center of the array, even just the core area of the Dao Seeking Mountains alone is almost twice the size of what the array can protect.
‘Sure I can just neglect the other area but that would definitely make Auntie Jianxue devastated…’ he thought to himself as he continues to grit his teeth, not from the pain of each attacks as he didn’t even feel a single scratch, but rather from the frustration of what could possibly be his greatest adversary in the Eastern Continent already being in front of him, his power enough for said opponent to receive traumatic injuries, and yet, he is unable to, like a man starving in the middle of the sea with all the water around him.
“Come on now boy! Yield!! Hahaha!!! If not for a surprise attack, there’s no way for a mortal like you to win against a celestial being like me!!!” in his drunk pride of the every so close victory, the ancient man said in an ecstatic voice, snapping the young man from his frustration as he remains on the spot, eventually moving around every now and then as the old man deviously slips in some attacks far from the other, forcing him to go out of his way to use his body to block then as they are heading towards the Dao Seeking Mountains as well.
These devious, sneaky attacks also means that he can’t bridge the distance between the two of them as even at the current distance they are in, he can just barely react to the sneak attacks and prevent them from reaching the area where the Dao Seeking Mountains are, an extremely taxing task even for him, who has quite the familiarity with spatial rules in general.
‘Just a single minute left…’ as he continues to receive each powerful blow, the sole silver lining of what is currently happening being the fact that his absorption allows his cultivation to continuously soar to greater heights due to all the attacks hitting him being made of celestial qi rather than normal spirit qi, the immortal-like young man feels all the more frustrated knowing that his physique is about to hit its limit soon, which might then force him to either stand there and let the ancient ancestor’s attack hit him, or allow the undefended part of the Dao Seeking Mountains to fall.
“Come on now, where’s your previous bravado boy!? I thought I wasn’t an expert!? Let’s say that I am not then what can you even do to me? I’m a Celestial!! HAHAHAHA” the old man once again provokes as he swung his weapon once more, the immortal-like young man just standing there, withstanding yet another full-power attack without even a single scratch, leaving an extremely bitter taste in his mouth.
“How about you fight other celestials then?”
Once more he intends to swing, had it not been for his body turning frozen the moment he heard a familiar voice, from the skies, descending an old man with fair complexion, the ashen shade of his hair making it seems like while he is past his prime, he is still hale and hearty, the faint smile of appreciation on his face as he looks at the young man defending the Dao Seeking Mountains changing as his gaze shift towards the ancient man on the opposite side.
