’Four Symbol Scripture (Inferior): Ultimate Technique – Conjuration of the Five Deities’

Roar!

Right after Shin completed forming the five huge formations, the divine beast constructs started to form one after another.

They surrounded Shin, forming a battle formation around him.

Roar!

Their sizes were not as big as the ones that Grandmaster Benn had summoned during his battle against Elder Zhi. They also lacked the spiritual properties that the complete version had.

Unlike the battle constructs that Grandmaster Benn controlled, which seemed to have a life of their own and could fight independently, the ones that Shin had summoned seemed to be lifeless puppets that needed to be controlled manually.

The complete version could also use mentalism techniques by themselves, but the ones that Shin had summoned could not execute those techniques on their own. Shin had to manually control them before they could do any of that.

Fortunately, such a job was not that difficult for Shin since he possessed a monstrous willpower that could support him in doing it.

It would not be much different from controlling his clones inside the game. However, the burden that it would cause would be much heavier, especially when he had yet to master this technique quite well.

On the other hand, this place was within the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, so he could somewhat offset most of the burden on his mind and body.

Right after summoning the five divine beast constructs, Shin swiftly divided his mind and controlled the five of them, executing a series of mentalism techniques through them.

Roar! Roar!

The two dragons flew forward, circling the Seed of Hatred and dancing in the air.

The size difference between the Seed of Hatred and the two divine beasts was very noticeable, especially when the massive body of the manifested form of the Seed of Hatred towered over everything around it.

The Yellow Dragon roared and summoned huge spherical constructs made of earth element. They surrounded the Seed of Hatred from all directions before spinning rapidly, producing a series of strong pulses that made the surrounding gravity stronger by several folds.

Boom!

Due to the sudden increase in gravity, the Seed of Hatred was suddenly subjected to a strong force that was pulling it toward the ground. It was forced to kneel on the ground because of the strong gravitational pull.

It was forced to press both of its hands on the ground, attempting to pick itself up and preventing its body from further hitting the ground.

Roar!

With its enraged roar, it tried to stand up.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ground even exploded, sending tall tides of blood in the air along with the bone fragments and shattered skulls that were thrown in every direction.

It was about to succeed when thick tree roots suddenly sprouted out of the ground and wrapped themselves around the body of the Seed of Hatred, restraining its movements alongside the golden chains that were already wrapped all around its body.

The Azure Dragon summoned these tree roots, which seemed to carry a rich wood elemental power. Moreover, they were filled with life energy, which was being complemented by the Golden Sacred Qi that Uno was controlling.

The two powers were working together, making their respective abilities reach a whole other level.

Shin was attempting to reproduce the same battle techniques that Grandmaster Benn had used during the battle against Elder Zhi. He wanted to test whether he could at least replicate most of the mentalism techniques and battle strategies that his Mentalism Teacher had employed at that time.

Swoosh!

Taking advantage of the restraint that Shin had cast on the Seed of Hatred, Uno suddenly made his move.

He leaped high up in the air, hovering right above the massive body of the demonic creature. He then held both sheathed swords hanging on each side of his waist and channeled his twin energies in them, summoning a pair of intertwining flames around his body.

The twin energies repeatedly clashed with one another, trying to overwhelm the other and showcase their superiority.

With the clashing energies around him, Uno suddenly disappeared from the air, and suddenly appeared a few distances away from the massive body of the Seed of Hatred.

Click!

When he sheathed the pair of swords, the familiar subtle sound resounded in the entire place once again, causing intense ripples to spread everywhere.

Shing! Shing! Shing!

Immediately after, a series of flashes suddenly appeared and crisscrossed with one another while passing through the massive body of the Seed of Hatred.

They sliced through the tough scales of the demonic monsters, leaving a series of grievous wounds and a bunch of deep gashes all over their bodies.

’Yin-Yang Cultivation Arts: Unification of Yin and Yang – The Moon Embraces the Sun’

Roar!

The Seed of Hatred could not help but release a painful cry due to the multiple injuries that it suffered from such a deadly attack.

It then opened its mouth wide and started firing a series of black beams toward the huge spherical constructs spinning right above it. It had also put more strength in its arms and legs to forcefully pick itself from the ground and stand up.

Snap! Snap!

The sturdy tree roots were ripped one after another, somewhat freeing the Seed of Hatred in response.

However, before it could fully free itself from these restraints, the Vermillion Bird finally made its move along with the Azure Dragon.

Shriek! Roar!

The two started bombarding the massive body of the Seed of Hatred with a terrifying firestorm and destructive lightning strikes.

Swoosh!

Crackle!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Under the bombardment of the two divine beasts, the Seed of Hatred was forced to slam into the ground once again.

Due to the purifying properties of the two elements, the demonic powers of the Seed of Hatred were slowly being suppressed, especially when Uno’s Golden Sacred Qi was already preventing it from recovering from the injuries that he had just dealt.

Roar!

Shin did not even stop there and continued his bombardment of techniques.

More tree roots spouted out from the ground and continued restraining the movements of the Seed of Hatred while more earth elements gathered above it and formed more spherical constructs in the air to further increase the gravity around it.

Wail!

The Black Tortoise had also made its move at this time, summoning huge spears made of ice in the air, which swiftly rained down on the body of the Seed of Hatred, impaling it into the ground alongside the huge earthen spears summoned by the Yellow Dragon.

Roar!

The White Tiger had also jumped into the prey, launching a series of attacks with the metal element that it wielded.

Shing!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

By complementing the lighting strikes and firestorm of the Azure Dragon and Vermillion Bird, it produced a much stronger series of attacks, especially when their respective elements complemented one another and created powerful combination techniques in the process.

Boom!

Shin might not be able to summon the same divine beast constructs as Grandmaster Benn, especially when they did not control any kind of authorities to complement their respective elements.

However, he at least understood the true essence of each divine beast construct and figured out how they were supposed to work with one another.

With the help of this knowledge, he could at least replicate the major abilities of every divine beast construct and manipulate the overall state of the battle by manually controlling them.

Adding that he was a Battle Genius himself, he was rapidly gaining more experience in the battle and increasing his understanding with each of them.

Unfortunately, his mastery over these grand formations was still severely lacking, which made the performance of each divine beast construct a bit lackluster compared to his desired level.

With his current abilities, the best he could do was to continuously restrain the movements of the Seed of Hatred and prevent it from doing anything beyond its current abilities.

However, this was more than enough for their current situation. Uno was doing quite well with all these.

He was taking advantage of all the restrained movements of the monster to execute all his killing moves to the highest level, and without being interrupted. With all these, he was able to deal the maximum damage possible with his current abilities.

Unfortunately, despite all these, the Seed of Hatred seemed to be tanking all their moves without problem.

Even though they were constantly wounding it and putting its massive body into the ground, the Seed of Hatred was still able to pick itself up time and time again before coming at them with its much stronger self.

It was as if it was constantly growing stronger the more the battle progressed. The wounds that the two were dealing were also becoming fewer the longer the battle dragged on.

Not only were its regenerative abilities growing stronger, but it seemed to have also become immune to any moves they threw at it.

So long as it had endured a certain amount of damage from their moves, it was able to constantly adjust itself in the process, making the said skills or techniques incapable of hurting it afterward.

Not only that!

It was also absorbing all the experience that it had when fighting them, creating a series of moves to counter their attacks.

Not only Shin, who was a Battle Genius, and Uno, who was a Thinking Reed, were the only ones who were constantly growing in battle.

This demonic monster before them was also absorbing their experience and evolving throughout their exchanges, becoming much stronger in every passing second.

The two might be a pair of monstrous geniuses themselves, surpassing most of the people from the same generation.

Unfortunately, the anomaly before them was a freak of nature that seemed to be a more monstrous even with the two of them combined.
