Chapter 398: Intuition
The battlefield where Wang Jixuan and the elder were engaged in a fierce battle constantly emitted layers of Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
To ordinary people, this fluctuation might just seem like a wave trace across the sky.
But in the perception of Spirit Cultivators and Spiritual Ability Users, it was as if two fierce beasts were locked in a deadly struggle, clashing crazily. The Spiritual Energy in the earth and atmosphere of the planet surged toward the origin of the fluctuations.
A battle of Spirit Cultivators at their peak!
Such a battle could typically destroy parts of a planet's surface outright.
However, whether Spirit Cultivators or the abilities mastered by other civilizations, combat power is limited by a boundary, that is, they cannot cause permanent damage to a planet's structure.
To crush a planet with a hand is the skill of an Immortal;
The main cannon of a spaceship destroying a planet is the weapon power only mastered by Advanced Plane civilizations.
Of course, if time and cost are not considered, the Yina Civilization could easily have achieved planetary destruction in the past.
The fierce battle between Wang Jixuan and the elder was reaching a fever pitch.
As for the human side, aside from using various observational means, they couldn't be of much help.
In terms of weapon systems, humans prioritize High-Energy Laser Beams for attacking individual targets.
But now, even if they were able to lock onto such a fast-moving target with laser weapons, the laser wouldn't be able to penetrate the opponent's layers of Spiritual Shields.
The battle was gradually exceeding the limits of human understanding.
Spirit Cultivators control the Power of Laws through core circuit resonance, wielding the might of nature, nearly able to summon winds and rain, lightning, and fire, with all sorts of incredible methods.
For example, a punch could create slight distortions in the air, as if the space's coefficients were rewritten;
Or perhaps a spire phantom appeared overhead, and upon it a vertical eye that emitted a black beam tens of kilometers long.
Even more astonishing, the elder's arm could transform into towering giant trees, wildly smashing at Wang Jixuan.
While the elder's methods were traceable.
Wang Jixuan's techniques directly plunged them into a mythical mindset.
He wielded a sword, its blade light stretching tens of thousands of meters, able to cleave King Beast bones vertically.
He wielded a spear, its shadow like a dragon lifting its head, breaking mountains, severing veins, and crashing the Milky Way.
He commanded formation flags and formations, evolving boundless winds and thunder;
He had demonic flames soaring to the heavens, amidst which wailed the so-called 'Righteous Cultivators.'
Despite ordinary humans not understanding, they could still see that their Black Storm emphasized attack over defense, leaving the elder increasingly disheveled.
Unfortunately, the elder didn't fall in a short time.
Wang Jixuan's aggressive assaults, though fierce, couldn't outmatch the elder's total Spiritual Energy with his own Mana.
Of course, being two different systems with different methods, it's not a direct comparison.
Overall, Wang Jixuan held the advantage, but he couldn't convert it to victory quickly enough, as a dozen Spirit Cultivators rushed nearby.
They immediately intended to encircle Wang Jixuan.
Amina and Nierdamon were about to intervene, despite not knowing how to win when outnumbered, but hoping to delay, perhaps they could...
"Stay back!"
Wang Jixuan's voice echoed thunderously.
Amina paused.
Then, she saw a scene she hadn't witnessed in seventeen thousand Earth years.
Wang Jixuan single-handedly wielded a sword and spear, sending the gray-robed elder flying, calmly standing several kilometers high in the air.
Dozens of figures appeared at various positions;
Dozens of core circuits resonated;
Earth's Spiritual Energy rapidly converged here.
An inexplicable majesty burst forth from Wang Jixuan.
He stood with his head held high, spear pointed diagonally, sword sheathed behind, like a figure descending from the Ninth Heaven, gazing over the world with disdain.
"Hahaha!"
Wang Jixuan laughed heartily, the spear emitting a mournful wail, and the Black Dragon coiled upon it subtly moved.
"You can all come at me together!"
"If you want to know the secret of the Spirit Cultivator's immortality, defeat me first!"
Immortality?
Amina paused, then understood Wang Jixuan's intent.
He was deliberately drawing the Spirit Cultivators' hatred.
Hei Yao's ability to subdue these Spirit Cultivators relied on longevity-extending methods and ancient Spiritual Power Technologies like the Jile Sky.
Now, the so-called secret of immortality spoken by Wang Jixuan, the Great Pioneer, the Source of Spiritual Power, seemed so convincing...
Amina bit her lip, clenched her fists, her fingernails nearly piercing her flesh.
She restrained her impulse to rush forward to assist.
Meanwhile, Wang Jixuan's transmission echoed:
"I'll hold them off, you go and try to eliminate a few Pillar Blade Beasts.
If it's not possible, don't force it; perhaps today's battle wasn't meant for human survival.
"Don't worry about me, I still have the move to burn the Residual Soul, and these old, weak, sick, and disabled can't force me to use it."
"But..."
Amina didn't have time to speak before the space ahead seemed to almost twist.
A dozen Spirit Cultivators struck simultaneously;
Though half were elderly, they sustained minimal injuries, and among them were some who launched exceptionally fierce attacks, determined to capture Wang Jixuan!
The battle between two Spirit Cultivators might not effectively devastate a planet.
But a dozen...
If not for Wang Jixuan deliberately dragging the battlefield thousands of meters into the sky, and humanity relying on the Fortress, even dozens of large cities would be destroyed by the battle's aftershock.
