Chapter 1282: Ultimate Dao Pattern
In the line between life and death, all of Jiang Yi’s muscles kept on twitching, his blood surged, and his heart rate sped up. His blood was flowing about ten times faster. The faster his blood traveled around his body, the clearer his mind became, and the faster he could think.
In fact, what Jiang Yi did not know was this: his blood was not normal. The blood of a strong divine race of the Higher Domain flowed inside him. This blood could help him think a thousand or ten thousand times faster when he was in a life-or-death situation.
This was also what helped Jiang Yi break through when he was caught in life-or-death situations before. Yi Piaopiao might not have left anything behind for Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi’s body contained her divine blood essence. This, in itself, was a heaven-defying existence.
At that moment, Jiang Yi himself did not know how terrifyingly fast his mind was working. His soul spirit had become much stronger than before, and this also affected how fast his mind was working. Under such circ.u.mstances, a second in his mind could amount to ten thousand seconds ordinarily. In other words, one hour in this state would amount to ten thousand hours under ordinary circ.u.mstances.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Another wave of meteorites. .h.i.t him once again. While in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, Jiang Yi felt the spatial movements and the direction, speed, and angle of the meteorites’ flight.
Eh? The angle of these meteorites’ rotation is strange!
He suddenly realized a big problem. Every stone flying toward him was spinning at high speed because they were traveling at high speeds. If one looked with their own eyes, they would not notice this. Jiang Yi had noticed it earlier, but he did not think too much of it. Revolving or not, stones were stones to him. He could not tell the difference.
At that moment, however, he found that the direction in which these stones were spinning was completely wrong. Some were spinning toward the left, and others were spinning toward the right. Some were spinning upwards, and others downwards. What’s more, the angle at which these meteorites spun were all different. No two stones spun in the same direction.
Bang, bang, bang!
The meteorites all fell down toward him. Jiang Yi got his Divinity Slayer ready and destroyed several huge stones. At the same time, he used the Thousand Thearch s.h.i.+eld to stop them from hitting his body. As for the rest, he could only bear the impact with his Astral Winds Divine s.h.i.+eld, his Mystic Divine Armor, and his own physical body.
Could the angle, trajectory, and spinning angle of these stones all be forming a mysterious heaven formation? The more meteorites there are, the stronger the heaven formation would get. That would explain their high speeds and their great power.
Another through sprang up in Jiang Yi’s mind. This was comparable to the Thunder Fire Divine s.h.i.+eld and Astral Winds Divine s.h.i.+eld. There were maps inside these s.h.i.+elds. If one followed these maps and spun the divine s.h.i.+elds accordingly, mysterious array formations would form. They would then have unlimited power to be tapped into.
Swish, swish, swish, swish~
The next wave of attacks was coming. Jiang Yi locked all his attention in on the angle at which the stones were spinning. Indeed, like before, every single stone was spinning in a different direction. Each one of them differed slightly from the next.
Jiang Yi felt strange. There was an amazing dao pattern presence in the flight of these stones. At that moment, he completely cast aside all his worries regarding what was happening outside. He stopped using his Fire Dragon Sword to attack and stopped using his Astral Winds Divine s.h.i.+eld to defend. Instead, hundreds of lights lit up in his mind, each one resembling the meteorites. He caused these lights to rotate and travel at high speeds, re-creating the flight of the meteorites around him. He wanted to realize the mystery of the dao pattern presence in them.
Bang, bang, bang!
More than half of the next hundreds of meteorites fell on his body. The remaining ones were stopped by the Thousand Thearch s.h.i.+eld. This s.h.i.+eld had been refined by Jiang Yi, and so it moved to protect its master automatically. Jiang Yi’s body was thrown in all directions as a huge amount of force shot through the Mystic Divine Armor and landed on his physical body. This round of attacks did not crush his bones, but a few were indeed broken. Even his internal organs were injured.
“Pfff!”
He spat out a mouthful of blood but did not regain consciousness. Jiang Yi forgot about everything happening around him, about life and death. Instead, he focused on the hundreds of lights in his head, which were mimicking the meteorites outside. He wanted to find the principle of heaven and earth within.
Bang, bang, bang!
Wave after wave of meteorites kept falling toward him. Again and again, Jiang Yi was thrown around. Even his Mystic Divine Armor was dyed red with his blood. Several of his bones were broken, and his internal organs were severely injured now. Still, he did not regain consciousness; neither did he use his Divinity Slayer to defend himself.
The last three waves!
The meteorites turned into strange, cold metal. These metallic bodies were small, but they traveled ten times faster than the stones before. This meant that their power was tens of times greater as well. If Jiang Yi did not regain consciousness before making it through these waves, he would probably not be able to make it to the last lightning attack.
“Hahaha!”
When the second wave of cold metal shot towards him, Jiang Yi’s eyes finally regained clarity. He laughed out loud. This laugh induced a series of body-shaking coughs, which sent a piercing pain through his heart, and caused him to cough up more blood. Still, his face was a mask of joy… he finally realized the Meteorite Killing Formation.
“This really is an earth-elemental dao pattern, but the dao pattern is way too mysterious. It uses the earth powers of heaven and earth to congeal meteorites and then controls these meteorites to spin at certain angles. This would cause the meteorites to attract one another to a certain extent and build up terrifying speed, at last resulting in huge attacking power! This is likely not an elemental dao pattern. Elemental dao patterns do not have such deep meanings behind them, nor such incredible power.
“What’s more, the cold metal… these are not even cold metal, but meteorites spinning thousands or tens of thousands of times faster. The incredibly high speeds cause the impurities within these meteorites to burn up. Under the intense heat, the meteorites then take on a stronger quality. Metal is formed by refining iron ores, and iron ores—in turn—are formed using the earth powers. This is an amazing dao pattern indeed!”
Jiang Yi laughed joyfully. He turned and faced the cold metal flying toward him from all directions. This time, he was not fearful at all. He kept his Thousand Thearch s.h.i.+eld and used both of his hands to congeal a seal that absorbed the earth-elements in heaven and earth. His palms lit up with yellow light. He pushed both of his palms outward to his sides, causing huge meteorites to form one by one. In seconds, he congealed hundreds of meteorites. Then, he shouted, “Meteorite Killing Formation, success!”
Hundreds of huge meteorites immediately began spinning according to their designated angles, flying out in all directions. His meteorites spun in the complete opposite direction of those from the Meteorite Killing Formation. All the meteorites here could generate their own attractive force. His meteorites could do the same. Hundreds of meteorites spun faster and faster toward the cold metal.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The meteorites were naturally no match for the cold metal. They were far off in terms of hardness. However, once they met, everything exploded. Then, the entire Void Ancient Path shook violently. Jiang Yi discovered that his own body was glowing white. Then, he was teleported out.
“I am the Mystic Thearch. Congratulations. You’ve realized the Mystic Thearch’s strongest dao pattern, the Meteorite Killing Formation! If you are a citizen of the Death G.o.d Continent, please do not cause trouble for the humans of the Stellarsky Domain. If you are a civilian of the outside world, please always protect the civilians of the Death G.o.d Continent.
“This Meteorite Killing Formation is an ultimate dao pattern. Of course… this is what the Stellarsky Domain calls it. According to the Higher Domain, this is just an ordinary earth-elemental law. After realizing this earth-elemental law, you can congeal your divine core. After your soul spirit transforms into a divine soul, you can ascend to the Divine Domain!”
There was a familiar sound, and a white light flashed in front of Jiang Yi’s face. He found that he was atop Mystic Divine Mountain. He stood on the peak, blood still dripping down the corner of his mouth. However, he did not care. As he stood on the peak of Mystic Divine Mountain, a million thoughts rus.h.i.+ng through his mind.
The Mystic Thearch left behind those words. He probably left them behind a long time ago, or else the Mystic Thearch would not have forgotten him. The Meteorite killing Formation was indeed a path of death. It was a strong mystic realm, perhaps the strongest one in Stellarsky Domain. Inside hid an ultimate dao pattern.
The Mystic Thearch’s words solved many questions in Jiang Yi’s mine. Elemental dao patterns were not six-star at the most. Instead, elemental dao patterns could merge to form ultimate dao patterns. However, these ultimate dao patterns seemed to be the norm in the Higher Domain. They were even called elemental laws. That was probably the next level that the dao patterns could advance to. Those were probably a higher grade, and their abstruse existence was the true laws of heaven and earth!
“Stellarsky Domain’s strongest ultimate dao pattern is only a normal law in the Higher Domain? Then how strong and exciting must it be up there!”
Jiang Yi looked up into the sky as if looking into a vast, boundless world filled with mysteries, secrets, excitement, and fun. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile. The bloodstains on his mouth made him look exceptionally evil.
Suddenly, he opened his two arms wide and shouted, “Higher Domain, wait for me! I will shatter the void and ascend in half a year more.”
