Chapter 400: This Human Cultivator Is Not Simple
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
This burly figure did not have any aura or vitality. It was like a puppet. Shen Ping, who had studied the path of puppets deeply, could not guess if the figure in front of him was a cultivator or a puppet. After all, he had never seen such a lifelike puppet.
“Fellow Daoist, why are you blocking the way?” Seeing that there was no movement from the figure, Shen Ping was vigilant and tried to ask first.
However, there was no response. He thought for a moment. He continued to walk forward. The burly figure still did not move. When Shen Ping was more than 30 feet away, the burly figure suddenly raised his eyes. A metallic l.u.s.ter flashed in his eyes. Then, he punched at Shen Ping like lightning.
His actions were very ordinary. However, the momentum of that punch was very terrifying. Shen Ping could feel the pressure coming at him. His reaction was extremely fast. He immediately raised the small blue umbrella and the three-striped earth-colored bead. Apart from his blue armor, there was also an earth-colored defensive barrier outside.
Bang! The burly figure’s fist had already smashed heavily onto the earth-colored defensive spirit light barrier.
Crack. What shocked Shen Ping was that a crack actually appeared on the three-striped earth-colored bead’s spiritual light shield. It had to be known that this was a defensive beast spirit treasure! Even though it was only at a low level, Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators would find it difficult to suddenly shatter it. And this burly figure had such power with just a punch.
Bam! Bam! The burly figure’s fists bombarded like raindrops. Every punch was as heavy as Mount Tai. More and more cracks appeared on the spiritual light shield.
Before Shen Ping could think carefully, the power of the strange beast in his dantian surged out. He activated the small golden hammer and instantly activated 30 golden hammer shadows that bombarded the burly figure from all directions. However, the other party’s body was simply stronger than a great demon in the Divine Transformation realm. He actually took the attack of the golden hammer shadows head-on.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not withstand the attack of the golden hammer shadow. The Spiritual Light Barrier was about to shatter. He had no choice.
Shen Ping could only use his puppet divine power. However, he did not use the complete Talisman Beast Diagram this time. After all, there was one less talisman when he used it. Moreover, he was still at ease now. There was no need to use his strongest trump card.
Swish, swish, swish. In the blink of an eye, 300 Little Thunder Flame Talismans appeared from his waist.
Although such offensive talismans were relatively precious, they were far inferior to the Talisman Beast Diagram to Shen Ping. Moreover, the materials for such talismans could be bought in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness. With his current level of talisman Dao, it was not slow to make them.
Therefore, the 300 Little Thunder Flame Talismans, which were worth as much as top-grade Dharma treasures, quickly spun and gathered behind Shen Ping.
Sea of Talisman!
300 offensive talismans instantly burned. Although the power of the Little Thunder Flame Talisman was far inferior to the power of the Talisman Beast Diagram, the power of the three hundred fused talismans had already exceeded the overall power of the twenty complete Talisman Beast Diagrams.
Boom!
An incomparably dazzling pillar of light suddenly lit up in the metal pa.s.sageway, and it heavily struck the burly figure’s powerful body with an invincible force. The burly figure was sent flying and smashed into the end of the pa.s.sageway, emitting a dull thud.
However, it did not shatter. Instead, it staggered and stood up with difficulty. Seeing this, Shen Ping suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to activate the small golden hammer.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
The power of the 30 golden hammer shadows erupted again. This time, it was like the last straw that crushed the burly figure, causing him to fall to the ground in the metal pa.s.sageway and not be able to stand up again.
Five minutes later, after confirming that there was no movement from the other party, Shen Ping slowly walked to his side and examined it carefully. His eyes could not help but reveal surprise. This was really a puppet. To be able to make such a puppet, it was definitely not an ordinary puppet master. Moreover, he could not recognize the material of the puppet.
He put it into the Yin Chen Spirit Ring. He reached the end of the metal tunnel. Whoosh. A door opened at the end. After stepping out, Shen Ping found himself standing in front of a wide river. The river was turbulent and completely black. He could vaguely see some black fish creatures surfacing from time to time.
He didn’t move. Instead, he waited quietly. From the Stairway to Heaven to the metal pa.s.sageway, it was obvious that this place was not simple. He could not act rashly without knowing the situation.
Time pa.s.sed slowly.
Three days later, the cultivators of the other races appeared one after another. However, Shen Ping sensed that five were missing. There were originally twelve, but now, including him, there were only seven left. They were the Devils, Demons, Winged Clan and Spirit Race, the powerful races ranked before the Myriad Spirit Ranking.
The auras of these genius cultivators from the various races were unstable. They were also injured. Clearly, they had consumed a lot of energy in the metal pa.s.sageway. When they saw Shen Ping, their eyes were filled with surprise and shock.
“This human cultivator is definitely not simple. The puppet in the metal pa.s.sageway is extremely powerful. Although it doesn’t have any Spell Thaumaturgy or other methods, its physical defense and attack are definitely not inferior to a Divine Transformation cultivator!”
I thought that this fellow wouldn’t be able to survive until here. I didn’t expect… I have to find an opportunity to kill him!”
“Unfortunately, this is the Heaven Ascension Hall.”
Sensing the different gazes of the other six cultivators, Shen Ping sat cross-legged with a calm expression.
Another ten days pa.s.sed. The geniuses of the other races finished recuperating, but they did not move when they saw the huge chains on the black river. Shen ’ Ping closed his eyes to rest, but he was actually observing his surroundings.
“This Black Water River is the most dangerous stage of the Heaven Ascension Hall. Not only does it require strength, but it also requires luck to pa.s.s. I wonder if anyone has the courage to leave first?” The devil genius said indifferently.
The demon cultivator sneered and said, “Of course it’s the human. He arrived here before us.”
“That’s right. The strong have priority.”
“We’re weak. Let’s give it to the fellow daoist of the human race.”
The other geniuses spoke one after another.
Shen Ping ignored them. Unexpectedly, the devil genius said, “Fellow Daoist Human, the Black Water River only needed one to follow the chain. There’s a layer of restraint on the chain. One can only step forward and can’t use any Spell Thaumaturgy or other methods. I believe you will definitely be able to pa.s.s through safely. We’re all watching.”
There was a hint of threat in his words. The Spirit and Winged also looked at Shen Ping with ill intentions. Shen Ping opened his eyes. “Why? Fellow Daoists, do you want to force me to cross the river?”
The demon cultivator said without hesitation, “So what if I am!”
Boom! The moment he finished speaking, Shen Ping immediately attacked. The small golden hammer turned into 30 hammer shadows and attacked the demon cultivator.
“How dare you!” The demon cultivator was shocked and angry. He also activated his beast spirit treasures to attack.
The other cultivators stood at the side and watched the commotion. There was no way to kill each other on the Stairway to Heaven, but there were no such restrictions in front of the Black Water River. They also wanted to see the strength of this human cultivator.
However, the demon cultivator was a Nascent Soul after all. The power of the strange beasts in his body far exceeded Shen Ping’s. Even though they were all low-grade beast spirit treasures, they gradually suppressed Shen Ping.
Shen Pmg did not mind. Relying on defensive beast spirit treasures, puppets, and talismans, the other party could not do anything to him. The main reason was that the demon cultivator did not dare to use his trump cards here.
After fighting for ten minutes, the two of them stopped. The demon cultivator gritted his teeth and said, “If you weren’t here, you would definitely die.” Shen Ping sneered. “If we were outside, you wouldn’t even have the chance to attack!”
Unexpectedly, the demon cultivator did not refute. The other cultivators did not say anything. This was because the fact that Shen Ping was the first to arrive in front of the Black Water River proved that he had very powerful methods. Moreover, through the battle just now, he was clearly only at the Golden Core realm, but he could fight on par with the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Demon Race. Especially the puppet and talismans, they were shocked.
The girl from the Spiritual Race said, “Everyone, we can’t delay any longer. The Black Water River is dangerous. It’s too risky to cross the river alone. In my opinion, why don’t we cross the river together? We can take care of each other and prevent other methods.”
The other cultivators understood the meaning of this sentence. Crossing the river alone not only required them to face the danger of the Black Water River, but they also had to face possible attacks from other cultivators. This was the ’ main reason why they did not dare to cross the river.
“I agree.” Shen Ping was the first to express his att.i.tude.
The devil cultivator pondered for a moment and nodded.
The Winged Race cultivator smiled and said, “Sure.”
The other geniuses looked at each other and nodded.
“Since everyone agrees, let’s rest for ten minutes before crossing the river..”
