I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 622: Chapter 569: Capsized

At first, Jiang Yuebai didn’t think about how to use the Little Spider to create a complete Armor.

But under Fann Mingshan’s aggressive pressure, she suddenly recalled the large armor made by piecing together small automatons she saw when entering the inner city of the Zhuge Family.

She didn’t know the Zhuge Family’s splicing technique, but whenever she encountered something interesting, she had a habit of keeping her mind on it. Even when busy with other things, she would allocate a portion of her Divine Thought to ponder how to piece together an armor using the methods she knew.

Later, she thought of her previous experience in making Chain Armor, using the Little Spider’s legs to form a web, which could also transform into a lock catch.

Moreover, this method of splicing has other advantages. If it proves effective, she could consider manufacturing more and better, sturdier Little Spiders in the future as a hidden trump.

At this moment, confronting Fann Mingshan was not only her counterattack but also an experiment.

Everyone outside the Trial Tower held their breath, attentively watching the battle through their Memory Jade, while Moh Baichun once again nervously clenched Zhuge Ziqian’s arm.

The Spider Armor slashed two Lightning Long Sabers viciously toward Fann Mingshan’s head, forcing him to dodge in a panic as the blades grazed across his face.

Boom!

A crashing thunderbolt struck the ground, with lightning lashing like long whips, catching Fann Mingshan off guard and tearing several gashes in his clothing.

The Spider Armor moved with extraordinary speed, pressing the attack. Fann Mingshan hastily turned the heavy cannon barrels toward the Spider Armor.

At that moment, another swarm of Little Spiders silently surged beneath the cannons, infiltrating through every seam into the cannon’s interior.

The heavy cannons on the walls of the Zhuge Family’s fortress were seamlessly designed, with no gaps aside from the cannon muzzles.

Fann Mingshan’s heavy cannon internals were intact, while the exterior remained unrepaired, with cracks exploited by Jiang Yuebai.

As the golden light at the cannon mouths was still gathering, countless Little Spiders nestled throughout the interior joints of the heavy cannon, glowing fiercely with their Thunder Runes and then exploded with a deafening roar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two heavy cannons shattered into pieces amidst a frenzy of lightning and sparks, leaving Fann Mingshan dumbfounded, and chased by the relentless Spider Armor.

With his Dantian sealed, he couldn’t deploy other means.

As the Spider Armor struck again, Fann Mingshan furrowed his brow, pulling two human-shaped armors that were relatively intact and made of robust materials from the side, wielding two Gapped Giant Axes in a pincer attack against the Spider Armor.

In an instant, the Spider Armor was severed in half by the two axes.

Fann Mingshan’s eyes brightened, but Jiang Yuebai’s lips slowly curled into a smile.

The severed Spider Armor didn’t hit the ground before it abandoned the broken Little Spiders, reassembling into two wolves entirely formed from Little Spiders.

Jiang Yuebai directed two strands of Divine Thought, and the wolves, nimble and swift with bodies crackling with lightning, zigzagged around, stretching the fight line and causing the humanoid armors to face different directions, increasing the difficulty of Fann Mingshan’s control.

Then, the two wolves leaped high, swiping their claws downward, as all the Little Spiders composing their bodies shined brightly, gathering electric currents like tidal waves.

Boom!

Boom!

Silver lightning struck fiercely, piercing the humanoid armors’ chests instantly, rendering them completely useless.

Fann Mingshan’s beard quivered, a sheen of cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he watched the twin wolves merge into one form, turning humanoid again, charging toward him.

The battle intensified further!

Fann Mingshan continuously pulled various battered armors from the debris to block the Spider Armor, with silhouettes relentlessly clashing in mid-air, sparks and strange noises overwhelming, dazzling the onlookers, leaving them excited.

No matter what tactics Fann Mingshan used, Jiang Yuebai’s Spider Armor countered perfectly.

It would disperse its body to evade an unavoidable attack, regrouping later to strike from behind, never engaging in direct confrontation.

If completely unavoidable, it sacrificed some Little Spiders to self-destruct, aiming for mutual destruction.

Even when hit by chance, it could quickly discard the damaged parts, reassemble, transform, and with Jiang Yuebai’s four arms continuously crafting more Little Spiders, the losses were constantly replenished.

As long as there was a steady supply of materials, Fann Mingshan, relying solely on the surrounding broken armors, could never defeat Jiang Yuebai’s Spider Armor.

Inside and outside the Trial Tower, silence reigned, already captivated by this stunning battle.

”Incredible!”

”This is an entirely new combat style, I want to learn it!”

”Elder Fann is about to reach his limit!”

Zhuge Shou couldn’t remember the number of times he nodded in admiration. The reason Jiang Yuebai’s Spider Armor was so agile was partly due to its small size, allowing it to freely disperse to avoid lethal attacks and then reassemble.

More importantly, Jiang Yuebai’s control over her divine sense was meticulously fine, to the point of being hair-raising. Zhuge Shou wasn’t inside, so he couldn’t ’see’ how far she had taken her invisible and intangible divine sense.

However, from the completely stunned expression of Zhuge Ziyin, Zhuge Shou could imagine it was absolutely astounding.

Beside him, Moh Baichun’s mouth hung open in shock, ”Is that the Silk Control Technique I taught her? Is it really that strong?”

In the valley, Zhuge Ziyin had components slipping from his hands onto his feet, jolting him back to his senses. He swallowed and closed his dropped jaw.

While divine sense cannot be seen, he specialized in divine cultivation and had a means to clearly sense Jiang Yuebai’s divine sense.

At this moment, the scene he ’saw’ could no longer be described with mere shock. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Jiang Yuebai had connected divine sense threads to more than half of the Little Spiders; those Little Spiders could not act autonomously as they hadn’t had Demon Souls injected in time.

The divine sense threads she divided were like strands of her white hair, flying vividly in the wind, seamlessly controlling the massive number of Little Spiders in assembly and disbandment.

Zhuge Ziyin could not imagine how this skill was honed.

Of course, he didn’t know that back in the days within the Demon Clan, Yuebai’s body was restricted, and all actions had to rely on divine sense. Her White Vine’s underground root branches required divine sense to guide their growth directions.

The larger the area covered by the White Vine, the broader her perception range; otherwise, she risked being smashed flat by monkeys who also urinated on her head.

Later, the White Vine transformed into her full head of white hair, and she habitually kept a divine sense thread in each strand, allowing her hair to become weapons and armor at any time.

She didn’t deliberately practice; she merely turned them into habitual routine.

Boom!

After another violent explosion, Fann Mingshan retreated stumblingly, gasping for breath, with debris all around and no intact Armor left for him to control.

Jiang Yuebai’s Spider Armor sacrificed a third of the Little Spiders and became smaller. However, she integrated solid armor fragments from many Armors into her Spider Armor.

Although it looked like a ragged, pieced-together mess, it still maintained potent combat strength.

The Spider Armor continued slaughtering Fann Mingshan, spreading its entire body into a web. With the surge of electric tides, the Heaven Thunder Fire Array descended on Fann Mingshan.

”Wait!”

Fann Mingshan’s Dantian was sealed, and his divine sense was exhausted, leaving him defenseless against Jiang Yuebai’s attack. But Zhuge Ziyin, who had been observing battle from the sidelines, suddenly intervened.

If he hadn’t spoken, Jiang Yuebai would have thought he was mute!

His brows furrowed, and his divine sense transformed swiftly into threads, accurately striking several critical points of the Heaven Thunder Fire Array.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With those Little Spiders shattering, the web scattered in mid-air, leaving countless Little Spiders crashing down on the terrified Fann Mingshan.

Zhuge Ziyin not only watched in shock at Jiang Yuebai but continually thought about her weaknesses and methods to break her moves.

Moreover, while Fann Mingshan’s character might be lacking, he had served as a Guest Elder in the Zhuge Family for over two decades, contributing significantly. Zhuge Ziyin didn’t want him to be humiliated in front of everyone, a point specially instructed by the Family Head.

Jiang Yuebai, unlike him, didn’t have such reservations - anyone who provokes her gets blasted!

Zhuge Ziyin’s intervention was essentially a declaration of war. In Jiang Yuebai’s Sea of Consciousness, her Divine Infant roared with great power, gathering three divine thoughts and mercilessly attacking Zhuge Ziyin.

Zhuge Ziyin’s pupils shockingly contracted as if he saw a hundred-foot tidal wave rising behind Jiang Yuebai, turbulent and aggressive.

After an instant of shock, Zhuge Ziyin’s battle intent was ignited, his gaze turning fierce as he prepared to fully mobilize his divine sense to counterattack.

Divine sense clashing with divine sense, to see who was actually stronger.

Just then, an invisible airflow suddenly enveloped the bodies of the three within the valley, and in the next moment, all three returned to the plaza outside the Trial Tower.

Zhuge Shou’s voice resonated in their ears.

”This is just an assessment, no need to harm relations over it; there will be plenty of opportunities for sparring in the future. Fellow Daoist Wangshu, today was eye-opening; if you are interested in the Zhuge Family, we would be very pleased to welcome you.”

The purpose of the assessment was already achieved, and Zhuge Shou didn’t want Zhuge Ziyin to be publicly defeated, since he represented the Zhuge Family’s strength and reputation as the master of this generation.

Moreover, he didn’t want Jiang Yuebai, upon joining the Zhuge Family, to be targeted and troubled by Zhuge Ziyin’s admirers. After all, he couldn’t manage each individual.

Thus, the situation was already sufficient. If the two wished to settle who was stronger, they could find a secluded location to continue their contest.
