Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 261: Chapter 258: Defeating the Enemy

’To think he could actually push it this far...’

In the midst of their fierce clash,

A grave expression flashed in Mo Lingfeng’s eyes.

With every strike they exchanged, he could feel it. While his opponent’s Magical Power was exceptionally condensed, already top-tier among Cultivators of the Qi Introduction Realm, it was still inferior to his own, which he’d cultivated since childhood using the Three Yang True Skill.

However,

In every exchange, his opponent seemed to possess an uncanny ability to anticipate his moves, with each attack striking his weakest point.

Combined with the Perfection-Level Magic he could seemingly cast at will,

The result was that he didn’t lose any ground in their confrontation.

’A Perfection-Level Pupil Technique, powerful Divine Soul Perception, and... an arsenal of Perfection Techniques he can use at a moment’s notice...’

’When all these abilities work in concert, they can unleash such incredible power!’

Mo Lingfeng’s Heart Spirit was shaken.

The Pupil Technique allowed his opponent to perceive the vulnerabilities in the flow of his Magical Power, while a Divine Soul at the Soul Emergence Level granted him lightning-fast reflexes, enabling him to strike those weak points in an instant.

Finally, there were those numerous Perfection-Level Magic techniques—which he had no idea how his opponent had cultivated—that could be unleashed effortlessly, with virtually no casting time.

In the span of a single breath, he could unleash unparalleled power.

It reached the point where even he, a cultivator of the Three Yang True Skill who possessed fiery, tyrannical Magical Power capable of dominating all others in his realm,

could gain almost no advantage against his opponent’s wide array of skills!

’So many solid fundamentals, all working in perfect coordination... to think they could achieve something like this!’

’It seems I’ve underestimated the heroes of this world!’

Shen Changchuan, his opponent, hadn’t cultivated Divine Skills and Techniques from a young age as he had.

His strengths lay in three extremely basic areas: Magical Power, Divine Sense, and Magic.

However,

His opponent had pushed the Cultivation of each to its absolute limit!

When combined, the result was a synergy that turned the mundane into the miraculous.

Using only ordinary, fundamental power, he was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with someone like himself, who possessed Divine Skills and Techniques!

In this regard, even he—a man so proud he normally looked down on all other Cultivators in the Qi Introduction Realm—had to admit that his own mastery of these fundamentals was inferior to the man before him.

’But it’s a pity. In the end, I will be the one who wins!’

BOOM!!!

In an instant,

Mo Lingfeng shot back several hundred meters, putting a great distance between himself and Shen Changchuan.

Then, his hands rapidly formed a Sealing Technique. A blinding light erupted from his body as three dazzling wheels of light materialized in the air, radiating a scorching brilliance.

The surrounding temperature rose rapidly.

Vast swathes of air began to warp and distort.

Even the Cultivators watching from hundreds of yards away felt themselves break into a sweat under the terrifying heat!

”Whoa! It’s Three Yang Piercing the Sun! The ultimate technique of the Three Yang True Skill! They say no one below the Soul Emergence Realm can possibly withstand it!”

”Hiss! Is he putting his life on the line?!”

”This is it! The final blow!”

”It’s hard to believe. That Shen Changchuan actually managed to push Mo Lingfeng this far...”

”Exactly! The rumors claimed he only killed that Demon Cultivator from the Soul Emergence Realm by getting lucky and taking advantage of the situation... But now it seems that even if he can’t truly defeat and kill a True Cultivator of the Soul Emergence Realm, he can at least hold his own against one!”

The moment Mo Lingfeng unleashed his technique,

The knowledgeable Cultivators in the crowd cried out in alarm.

They never imagined

that such a spectacular battle would reach its climax so quickly!

That’s right.

This was the final showdown!

Mo Lingfeng clearly had no intention of dragging this out any longer.

If this dragged on,

He might be the one whose Magical Power ran out first.

Therefore,

He would decide this in a single blow!

’It may be like bullying him with a Divine Technique, but I’m not sorry. Only the victor can claim to be just!’

Mo Lingfeng’s gaze was cold.

BOOM!

The three wheels of light in mid-air merged into one,

and a vast, scorching will spread wantonly through the air.

The space within a hundred-yard radius seemed to have been plunged into a furnace as dead branches and leaves on the ground burst into flame.

At the power of this single strike,

even the faces of the Soul Emergence Realm Cultivators on the high platform changed slightly.

”A Cultivator from the Qi Introduction Realm can actually unleash such terrifying power...”

”If we were careless for even a moment, we might be killed by that attack!”

”The strength of these two is in no way inferior to a newly advanced Soul Emergence Realm Cultivator!”

”It’s truly hard to imagine how powerful they will become once they advance to the next Realm!”

Shen Changchuan was oblivious to the crowd’s reactions.

His gaze and attention were entirely focused on the man before him, Mo Lingfeng.

’The final blow, is it? Perfect!’

A white halo swirled in Shen Changchuan’s pupils as he tried to perceive a flaw in his opponent’s attack.

But it was no use.

Against the Three Yang Piercing the Sun, his True Seeing Eyes could perceive nothing but a field of blinding white light.

His True Seeing Eyes were impressive, but their level was still too low.

He couldn’t easily perceive its weak points as he had with his opponent’s previous techniques.

But that was fine.

This would just come down to whose technique was more powerful.

Cyan Wood Sword Light!

With a single thought,

The world before him seemed to fracture as a spatial rift tore open, unleashing an overwhelming torrent of cyan light.

ZING!

The Sword Momentum seemed to possess the power to command the sun and moon, to freeze Yin and Yang themselves!

The surrounding Time and space seemed to freeze, locked in place by the power of this light!

The Cyan Wood Sword Light shot out like an indestructible beam, vast and mighty, pulverizing everything in its path as it slammed into the sun-like wheel of light formed by Mo Lingfeng’s Three Yang Piercing the Sun!

RUMBLE!!!

An earth-shattering roar erupted as the ground within a ten-yard radius collapsed. A blinding light blossomed, and everything in the vicinity seemed to teeter on the brink of annihilation!

The spectators, even from hundreds of yards away, felt dizzy and disoriented from the instantaneous impact!

And in that same moment,

CRACK... CRACKLE...

Fissures spiderwebbed across the Cyan Wood Sword Light before it shattered completely.

Immediately after, a vast, scorching aura engulfed everything, sweeping over all!

His technique was broken.

The battle was over.

Had Shen Changchuan lost?

No.

Not yet!

ZING! ZING!!

Almost at the same instant,

A terrifying sword hum once again echoed through the world.

Two more beams of Cyan Wood Sword Light shot out in succession!

Moreover,

Thanks to his repeated clashes with Mo Lingfeng,

Shen Changchuan had gained some insight into the art of combining his Divine Sense with his Magic.

Although he couldn’t merge his Divine Sense into his Magical Power to imbue it with a scorching will like Mo Lingfeng could,

Shen Changchuan had found another path.

He imitated the Divine Skill Sanqing Forest Sword Array, using his Divine Sense as a catalyst between the two beams of Cyan Wood Sword Light. One followed the other, each complementing the last, crashing down on Mo Lingfeng with the force of heaven and earth combined!

An unparalleled sense of danger descended,

and Mo Lingfeng’s expression changed drastically.

But before he could react,

The two beams of Cyan Wood Sword Light, one after the other, had already fallen!

RUMBLE!!!

Another earth-shattering collision erupted—an explosion more than twice as powerful as the last!

The resulting shockwave of terrifying energy swept across the hundred-yard area!

And caught in that terrifying impact,

Mo Lingfeng’s figure

was sent flying backward like a broken rag doll!
