NOVPUB"Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core!"
Facing an opponent like Jiang Yao, Su Changkong felt his fighting spirit ignite as well. The Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core in his dantian maneuvered and ascended within his body. With a fierce opening of his mouth, like a whale spouting breath, Su Changkong spat out the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core, shooting it straight at Jiang Yao!
The tiny Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core, no larger than a baby’s fist, was still heavier than a mountain of ten thousand feet.
Inherently possessing immense power, the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core could unleash devastating attacks on enemies, but it would also sustain severe damage; in the Dream Dimension created by the Hall of Hundred Battles Array, however, these concerns were unnecessary.
"Whoosh!"
The pale blue Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core, shimmering with a faint light, turned into an afterimage. With the speed of lightning, it furiously slammed into the charging Jiang Yao.
"Boom!"
At the impact of the Golden Core, even Jiang Yao, clad in Holy Emperor Armor, felt his body shake. His forward momentum halted abruptly, and the armor where the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core struck caved in, leaving a dent!
"Is this his Divine Skill? How can it possibly shake my Holy Emperor Armor?"
Jiang Yao found it hard to believe.
It was well known that Jiang Yao’s cultivation of the Holy Emperor Scripture was one of the Ancient Holy Country’s ultimate Cultivation Techniques, allowing him to condense the Holy Emperor Divine Seed with 100 Divine Patterns, reaching the Utmost of a Saint Warrior.
Theoretically speaking, it should be difficult to shake him with a single Divine Skill of equivalent Utmost Divine Seed caliber.
Could it be that Su Changkong’s Divine Seed had not yet reached its Utmost, yet the Divine Skill he could wield had shaken him? Although it hadn’t inflicted substantial damage, it was still incredibly unbelievable. This indicated that Su Changkong’s Divine Skill was of exceptionally high quality—it wasn’t inferior to his own, cultivated from the Jiang Family’s secret scriptures!
"Even the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core cannot harm him… If my Mysterious Turtle Divine Seed had the same amount of Divine Patterns as his, this would not have been possible!"
Su Changkong frowned inwardly. The Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core was one of his strongest offensive methods, yet it posed no threat to Jiang Yao. Su Changkong knew this was because his Mysterious Turtle Divine Seed had yet to fully mature; it had only 18 Divine Patterns.
"Geng Metal silkworm silk!"
With a thought from Su Changkong, the Heaven Silkworm True Qi surged forth, intertwining with the Geng Metal aura of his Primordial Spirit to form countless golden silks that wrapped around Jiang Yao, who had been stilled by the impact of the Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core.
"Sss sss sss!"
Countless silks entwined and twisted, each one as formidable as a Divine weapon, tightly wrapping around Jiang Yao, slicing and chopping.
Even Jiang Yao’s Holy Emperor Armor, when faced with the silks mingled with Geng Metal aura, which were impregnable, uttered a strained groan. The armor showed signs of being sliced and shattered!
"Is this…"
Jiang Yao’s gaze suddenly shifted. If it wasn’t Divine Skill, then how could it have pierced his Holy Emperor Armor? 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Roar!"
With his mind as quick as lightning, Jiang Yao let out a thunderous roar. The Holy Emperor Divine Seed within him burst forth with dazzling light, and his body’s white-gold radiance blazed violently, tearing each and every Geng Metal silkworm silk to shreds.
"Remarkable…"
Su Changkong also silently marveled at Jiang Yao’s strength; even the impregnable Geng Metal silkworm silk could be forcibly shattered!
"Mountain Leader Jiang, let us stop here. I have already used all my methods."
Su Changkong ceased his attack and spoke.
There was indeed a great gap between him and Jiang Yao, and even though Jiang Yao had only used a Divine Skill level Cultivation Technique, it was a top-notch Technique, having reached the peak of the Divine Seed. A direct confrontation would be a struggle for Su Changkong.
Unless he used his Primordial Spirit, but Su Changkong was not willing to expose this trump card, thus he directly stated that he had used all his methods.
"Alright, let’s talk outside."
Jiang Yao looked somewhat surprised, yet he nodded.
Both men retreated from the Hall of Hundred Battles Array, and their Essence Qi Spirit returned to their bodies.
"How remarkable… exceptional! This young Su is truly extraordinary, forcing Mountain Leader Jiang to fully exert the Holy Emperor Scripture!"
The elder in green had witnessed the entire battle between the two in the Hall of Hundred Battles Array, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Su Changkong facing Jiang Yao naturally had no chances of victory, yet Jiang Yao’s goal wasn’t to determine a winner but to test Su Changkong’s strength. He wanted to decide what terms to offer when recruiting Su Changkong, proving the value of Su Changkong himself!
Clearly, the elder in green felt the potential and strength that Su Changkong exhibited was terrifying. Just an Entering Saint single-layered Heaven, he showed extraordinary power in his battle with Jiang Yao.
Such a Martial Artist, with a little cultivation, would undoubtedly have limitless prospects!
"We shall take our leave now," Jiang Yao stood up and said to the elder in green.
"Alright, Mountain Leader, please take care," the elder in green nodded.
Subsequently, Jiang Yao and Su Changkong left the Hall of Hundred Battles.
The elder in green was quite moved: "It seems the Mountain Leader has indeed discovered a true talent this time!"
Su Changkong and Jiang Yao returned to the Black Moon Cave Mansion.
Inside the Cave Mansion, Jiang Yao spoke with a smiling face: "Brother Su, I’m quite impressed by your strength."
Su Changkong shook his head, offering a humble reply, "Not at all, I’m still far behind Mountain Leader Jiang."
Jiang Yao’s smile receded, and he spoke earnestly, "Brother Su, may I ask which family or sect you come from? The Divine Skills and techniques you deployed, I have never heard of before."
Jiang Yao was asking about Su Changkong’s origins. It was essential to know who he was, because if Su Changkong had connections to a power or family hostile to the Jiang Family, then they obviously couldn’t maintain a relationship with him.
After pondering for a moment, Su Changkong opened his mouth to say, "Mountain Leader Jiang, I am not from any sect or family. I come from a barren land, a newcomer."
Su Changkong’s words took Jiang Yao aback. "Barren land?"
"Could it be… You come from outside the Ancient Holy Country?"
A thought crossed Jiang Yao’s mind. He wasn’t foolish; he knew that there were other nations beyond the Ancient Holy Country, none of which could compare to the Ancient Holy Country. Compared to the Ancient Holy Country, those remote human nations were like the countryside, with no Saint Warrior from the Ancient Holy Country venturing there. The barren land Su Changkong spoke of was most likely outside the Ancient Holy Country.
This realization caused Jiang Yao to look at Su Changkong anew; Cultivating to this level in a barren land held a completely different meaning than doing so within the Ancient Holy Country!
Being able to reach such levels in a resource-scarce barren land was proof of extraordinary talent in itself!
Jiang Yao was somewhat enlightened, which explained why he couldn’t recognize any of the methods Su Changkong had employed!
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yao stared intently at Su Changkong and asked solemnly, "Dare I ask… Brother Su, have you achieved Primordial Spirit?"
