Chapter 1581 The Battle Between Wang Xian and Shou Yuan
Shouyuan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, slung the broken whip behind her back, and said in a tone that was still cold but less hostile than before: "Fine, I'll believe you for now. But if I find out that you're lying to me, even if you escape to the core area of the Chaos Sea or to the Heavenly Realm, I will still find you and let you taste the soul-refining power of the Wildfire."
I would never lie to you!
Wang Xian made a serious guarantee.
Looking at Wang Xian's determined gaze, Shouyuan's beautiful eyes flashed with a barely perceptible wavering, but it was quickly replaced by lingering anger.
She snorted coldly and pulled a palm-sized drum from a hidden pocket in her animal hide armor with her right hand.
The drum is made of dark brown savage animal hide, and its surface is covered with twisted ancient seal script. Three dark golden savage beads are also inlaid on the drum surface. They are the same treasures made of the same material as the scale whip, and they exude a savage pressure that is even stronger than that of the scale whip.
"Even if your future self takes Huang'er away, this debt will still be settled against you!"
Shouyuan's voice carried a hint of willful anger, "I can't do anything about your future self, so can't I teach your present self a lesson? Anyway, you're both King Immortals, beating you up will make me feel better!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xian's lips twitched slightly.
He knew that Shouyuan needed to vent her grievances and that he was in the wrong, so he could only nod with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll spar with you, but I'll stop when we've reached a point of no return. Don't really beat me up, because we still need to find Huang'er together."
"Cut the nonsense!"
Shouyuan raised her hand and tossed the Savage War Drum into the air. The drum instantly swelled to ten thousand feet in size, and the three Savage Pearls simultaneously emitted a dark golden light. "This is the 'Savage War Drum,' which can open up an independent Savage Battlefield. My rule is that anyone entering the battlefield will have their cultivation level suppressed to the peak of the Ninth-Rank Immortal Emperor! This is fair and will make you accept your defeat wholeheartedly!"
She knew that Wang Xian's realm had not reached the peak of 'Nine Revolutions Immortal Emperor', but Wang Xian's combat strength obviously could not be divided by realm. The peak of 'Nine Revolutions Immortal Emperor' was a very suitable stage.
"Boom--!"
The war drums of the wilderness roared with a deafening boom.
The sound of the drums shook the chaotic void violently, and countless dark golden savage runes surged from the drumhead, weaving into a huge light curtain in the void.
The light curtain slowly unfolded, transforming into an independent space with a diameter of hundreds of millions of miles.
The space is filled with primitive and wild landscapes, towering black rocks, burning ancient forests, and rushing wild rivers. The air is filled with a thick wild fog, and every breath you take can inhale pure wild primordial liquid, but it also carries a strong suppressive force. No matter how strong your cultivation is, once you enter, you will be forcibly suppressed to the peak of the Ninth Revolution Immortal Emperor.
"Interesting! This barbaric war drum can actually forcibly level up cultivation levels!"
Ao Ming, in his black dragon form, moved closer to observe, his eyes filled with amazement. "Only by sparring with opponents of the same level can one truly see their foundation and skills!"
The Blood Fiend Emperor's blood sea phantom also rippled: "Of Wang Xian's four physiques, although the Destiny Physique has collapsed, the other three physiques have a solid foundation. Shou Yuan's barbaric divine power is domineering. This sparring match is likely to be very exciting!"
The Ghostly Emperor narrowed his eyes, his divine soul power penetrating the light screen to observe: "The savage laws within the battlefield are very active, which is more advantageous to Shouyuan. She can use the power of the battlefield to amplify her divine abilities. Wang Xian must be careful."
Shouyuan was the first to leap into the desolate battlefield. As she landed, countless wild runes instantly spread out from the black rocks beneath her feet, making her appear as if she were the master of the battlefield.
She raised her hand and recalled the broken whip, its scales gleaming coldly in the wild mist: "Come in! Don't dawdle!"
Wang Xian took a deep breath and jumped into the battlefield.
"Ready? I'm about to make my move!"
Shouyuan's voice carried a hint of coldness. He swung the broken whip in his hand, the whip cracking with wild mist, and lashed towards Wang Xian's shoulder.
This whip wasn't delivered with full force, yet it carried a strong sense of primal power, clearly intended to test Wang Xian's reaction.
Wang Xian's eyes narrowed. As he dodged the whip's shadow, he clenched his right hand and activated his Star Body to its fullest extent. Countless golden star runes appeared on his body, and three hundred and sixty-five star phantoms suddenly appeared in the desolate sky above his head. It was a simplified version of the Zhou Tian Star Array!
"Zhou Tian Xing Luo!"
Wang Xian gave a low shout, and three hundred and sixty-five illusory stars lit up at the same time, transforming into streaks of golden meteors that fell towards Shou Yuan.
As the meteor streaked across the sky, the desolate mist was torn apart, and the air burned due to friction, forming golden fire tails, a scene resembling a star crashing into the desolate land.
"Well done!"
A hint of approval flashed in Shouyuan's eyes, but she remained completely calm.
She raised her hand and made a palm strike in the direction of the Wilderness War Drum. The drum roared, and the Wilderness Mist on the battlefield instantly boiled, condensing into three huge phantom images of ferocious beasts in front of her.
One was a savage tiger with two wings, another was a savage python covered in scales, and the third was a savage elephant with a single horn on its head.
Each ferocious beast exuded the pressure of a peak Ninth-Rank Immortal Emperor as it headed towards the falling star.
The three ferocious beasts roared simultaneously. The giant tiger pounced on the star at the front, its claws shattering the meteor's fiery tail. The giant python coiled around the star in the middle, the savage sparks generated by the friction of its scales melting the star's surface. The giant elephant used its horn to ram the star behind it, forcefully pushing the meteor high into the sky.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At the moment the stars collided with the ferocious beasts, golden starlight intertwined with dark golden wild mist, forming energy shockwaves that spread outwards.
The black rocks on the battlefield were shattered by the shockwave, the burning forest fires raged even more fiercely, and the rushing rivers were whipped up into towering waves. The entire desolate battlefield trembled violently.
"Wang Xian's mastery of the Star Body is getting more and more impressive!" Ao Ming, standing outside the battlefield, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "The simplified version of the Zhou Tian Star Array can actually unleash such power. If he were to cultivate the Star Body to its full potential, he might be able to summon real stars to crash down!"
Blood Fiend Emperor nodded in agreement: "Hunting Kite's Wilderness Summoning is not simple either. Those three ferocious beasts are not illusory energy bodies, but contain the remnant souls of wild beings. They have their own fighting consciousness and are more difficult to deal with than simple supernatural powers!"
On the battlefield, Wang Xian saw that the stars were blocked, but he did not panic at all.
He formed a hand seal with his left hand, activated his spacetime body to its fullest extent, and left a shadowy afterimage in place before instantly appearing to the left of the hunting kite.
He condensed a stream of chaotic energy in his right hand and slapped it towards Shouyuan's back. The devouring power of the Chaotic Body had already been quietly activated. If it hit, it could absorb a portion of the primordial essence and weaken her strength.
However, the hunting kites were prepared.
The savage runes beneath her feet suddenly lit up, and her body remained motionless as if rooted to the earth. At the same time, she waved her left hand, and the savage giant elephant in front of her suddenly turned around, using its thick body to block the chaotic airflow.
"Oh!"
The airflow struck the giant elephant, leaving only a shallow mark before being dissolved by the primal energy.
"The response is very fast!"
Wang Xian chuckled, his figure flashing once more as he engaged the three ferocious beasts in combat.
Instead of fighting head-on, he used the flexibility of the spacetime body to constantly manipulate the illusory stars to harass and find weaknesses in Hunting Kite.
Shouyuan, on the other hand, proceeded steadily, using the savage power of the battlefield to continuously strengthen the ferocious beasts, while launching surprise attacks from time to time with his broken whip, forcing Wang Xian to be distracted by defense.
The two fought fiercely, one attacking and the other defending, one agile and the other steady, their battle a close contest. The desolate landscape of the battlefield was increasingly ravaged, yet no victor emerged. "This kid's clever enough to use a spacetime mechanic for guerrilla warfare!"
The Ghost Emperor's voice was tinged with laughter, "It will be difficult for Hunting Kite to achieve a quick victory, as Wang Xian's defense and mobility are too strong."
Lei Yutian Emperor added, "Moreover, Wang Xian's physique is too complementary. His Star Body is good for long-range attacks, his Chaos Body is good for devouring and defense, and his Spacetime Body is good for flexible teleportation. The three are in one, and it is difficult for people of the same level to find a flaw."
Shouyuan clearly realized this as well. She snorted coldly, and the broken whip in her hand suddenly became entangled with wild mist, and she lashed it towards the direction of the wild war drum.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With three consecutive booming sounds, the wild fog on the battlefield instantly condensed into a huge altar.
The altar was constructed from millions of black rocks, with a dark golden savage bead suspended atop it. This bead was one of the treasures embedded in the war drum, radiating an even stronger savage pressure than before.
"Suppress the Spirit!"
Shouyuan formed hand seals, and the Savage Pearl at the top of the altar burst forth with dazzling light. Countless dark golden chains surged out from the altar and coiled around Wang Xian.
The chains were covered with wild runes, which could not only bind the body but also suppress the body's essence. It was obviously a divine power specifically designed to target Wang Xian's physique.
Wang Xian's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly activated his Chaos Body.
Billions of chaotic currents emerged around him, forming a black shield that attempted to block the chains from binding him.
But as soon as the chains touched the chaotic energy, the savage runes on them erupted, beginning to devour the chaotic energy, and the shield thinned at a visible speed.
"Swallow!"
Wang Xian let out a low shout and actively guided the chaotic energy to devour the primordial essence on the chains.
The two devouring forces collided, the chaotic air currents and the wild runes annihilated each other, and the resulting energy turbulence leveled the surrounding wild forest.
There were too many chains. Just as Wang Xian had blocked three from the front, five more came from the side.
He could only activate the spacetime teleportation again, but found that the pressure emanating from the altar interfered with the spacetime fluctuations, and the teleportation distance was less than ten feet, making it impossible to completely escape the pursuit of the chains.
In a moment of quick thinking, Wang Xian suddenly condensed the illusory stars above his head into a purple imperial star. The pressure emanating from the imperial star collided with the pressure of the desolate altar, temporarily forcing back the chains.
He seized the opportunity, conjuring a golden star blade in his right hand and slashing it toward the Savage Pearl at the top of the altar.
Once the Wilderness Pearl is destroyed, the altar's magical powers will cease to function.
"Dream on!" (Hunter)
Yuan's eyes turned cold, and she lashed out with the broken whip in her hand. The whip, wrapped in wild mist, transformed into a giant wild python ten thousand feet long, crashing towards the Star Blade.
"Oh!"
The Star Blade shattered instantly upon colliding with the giant python, but the python, still brimming with momentum, lunged towards Wang Xian's chest.
Seeing this, Wang Xian had no choice but to abandon his attack on the altar and cross his arms in front of his chest.
A thick chaotic shield condensed once more, blocking the giant python's attack.
But the giant python's power far exceeded his expectations. He was shaken and forced to retreat repeatedly, his feet carving two deep furrows in the wild earth, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
This was the first time he had been injured since the start of the sparring match.
"Wang Xian is injured!"
The Blood Fiend Emperor outside the battlefield exclaimed in surprise and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Ao Ming. "Don't panic, it's just a minor injury. Shou Yuan held back, otherwise this attack could have shattered his ribs."
Ao Ming's dark dragon eyes were fixed on the battlefield. "Wang Xian has to find a way to break the altar, otherwise he will be suppressed and will lose sooner or later."
On the battlefield, Wang Xian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
He suddenly abandoned his defenses, allowing the two chains to wrap around his arms, while simultaneously activating the Star Body Origin within his body, causing the Purple Star Emperor above his head to surge once more.
This time, instead of attacking, the Emperor Star released countless golden star threads that entangled the chains of the altar.
The star threads and the barbaric chains intertwined, forming a massive "net of confinement," which temporarily trapped most of the chains.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Xian activated his Chaos Body, devouring all the chains wrapped around his arm. At the same time, he teleported to the side of the altar, condensing an energy ball of chaos and stars in his right hand and smashing it towards the foundation of the altar.
"burst!"
The energy ball exploded at the base of the altar, and countless cracks appeared on the altar made of black rocks. The Savage Bead at the top also flickered violently, clearly indicating that it had been severely damaged.
Seeing this, Shouyuan hurriedly activated her source to reinforce the altar, but Wang Xian had already taken the opportunity to break free of the chains and distance himself from her again, resuming his previous guerrilla tactics.
"This kid is decisive! He'd rather get injured than not break the altar!" Thunder Prison Emperor exclaimed. "Anyone else would have panicked if they were entangled in chains, but he can use their own strength against them!"
Looking at the cracked altar, a hint of helplessness flashed in Shouyuan's eyes.
She knew that Wang Xian was too mobile, and it was impossible to trap him with the altar. She could only put away the altar and focus her attention back on the scale whip.
She took a deep breath, and the primal energy within her body slowly began to circulate. The scales on the broken whip began to shimmer with a dark golden light, and each scale revealed a different phantom of a primal beast, clearly indicating that she was about to unleash a more powerful divine ability.
"A wild dance of beasts!"
Shouyuan let out a low shout and swung the broken whip into the air. The whip instantly split into countless tiny whip shadows, each of which transformed into a savage beast.
Roaring tigers, soaring rocs, coiling pythons, galloping elephants... tens of thousands of ferocious beast phantoms ravaged the battlefield, rushing towards Wang Xian. The scene was like a savage beast tide passing through, with a dark golden torrent covering most of the battlefield.
Wang Xian's expression was solemn, but he did not back down in the slightest.
He simultaneously formed hand seals, fully activating his spacetime and stellar bodies.
"Time slows down!"
"A star has fallen from the sky!"
Time on the battlefield suddenly slowed down, and the phantom of the ferocious beast that pounced became sluggish, as if it were stuck in viscous mud.
At the same time, the phantom stars in the sky surged again, transforming into real shooting stars that plummeted toward the beast tide.
At the moment the meteor collided with the ferocious beast, golden starlight and dark golden wild mist intertwined to form a dazzling sea of light. Countless energy shockwaves spread outwards, and the ground of the battlefield was smashed into countless bottomless ravines. Even the wild war drums emitted a slight hum.
