Chapter 1600: Chapter 668: Lone Yang Bears No Life
Martial Arts Arena.
Chun Yangzi suddenly increased his offensive again.
Nine Yang Locking Finger!
This time, Chun Yangzi’s attack wasn’t aimed at Liang Ming or the Yin Tomb, but directly at the sky.
The finger light was cast into the air vehicle, immediately activating it, reflecting down a magnificent golden light pillar.
The light pillar accurately enveloped the Erosion Mirror Nether Official, causing its body to crack, especially the chest’s black mirror, which shattered directly, breaking off a small part.
The cultivators observing the battle had been watching for several days and nights. Seeing this scene, some people’s eyes lit up, their hearts stirred: "So, Chun Yangzi still has such a combative strategy."
Nine Yang Locking Finger requires continuous execution; the more it’s performed, the stronger the finger technique’s power becomes.
Previously, Chun Yangzi’s accumulation of this technique was interrupted by Liang Ming, but now he uses the patrol vehicle, making the continuous techniques easier, immediately raising the practical value of Nine Yang Locking Finger.
Liang Ming tried to stop it but failed the first time.
Chun Yangzi continuously struck with five fingers. The second finger broke Yin Mud like a blade cutting through vines, the third finger pierced the mirror like an awl into wood, the fourth finger shattered the Nether Official’s right arm like breaking a branch, and the fifth finger crushed the front half of the Yin Tomb like a collapsing wall.
With the sixth finger falling, the Nether Official’s half body was blown apart, and most of the Fifth Tomb collapsed!
Liang Ming’s chest trembled, spitting blood due to backlash, worsening his injuries further.
Soft praises emanated from the observers.
Yet, Chun Yangzi showed no sign of happiness.
Though the Fifth Tomb was mostly destroyed, it wasn’t completely uprooted.
Fortunately, Liang Ming was heavily injured but still hadn’t entered the triggered state of the Heaven-reaching Hook.
Chun Yangzi could control the field, paying great attention to avoiding the Heaven-reaching Hook!
Liang Ming breathed heavily, sacrificing a precious talisman to unleash a burst of attack, finally breaking Chun Yangzi’s continuous techniques.
His burst strength couldn’t compare with Chun Yangzi’s, but his enduring stamina held a slight advantage.
This was mutual torment between two Nascent Soul cultivators, obvious to anyone watching.
On the fifth night, the Cloud Gathering and Sun Supplementing Lamp lit up for the fifth time. This Red Jade Lamp was already dim and nearly devoid of purple-golden glow.
Chun Yangzi held the lamp in his palm, the warmth easing his burning meridians, yet it was like a drop in the ocean.
Liang Ming gazed at the lamp, his voice hoarse: "Chun Yangzi, I’m really curious, how long can you sustain this?"
"Earth Belly Swallowing, Yin Cellar Concealing the Yang. Summon the Earth Belly Fire Swallowing Lord, guard my Sixth Tomb!"
Despite Liang Ming’s injuries being even more severe, the establishment of the Sixth Tomb was much easier than before.
The reason was simple: the previous five Yin Tombs had already rooted on the Dawu Sky Platform, linking the tombs, forming a piece of Yin terrain. The Yin Qi continued to erode outward. The underground Red Sun Ore Vein had half been suppressed, as if beasts were shoved into a cage.
Only the other half of the Red Sun Ore Vein remained, still serving as Chun Yangzi’s favorable terrain, cooperating with the Noon Sun Patrol Vehicle.
This mechanical vehicle remained in the sky, patrolling continuously, like a lamp that refused to go out.
The ground collapsed into a round pit, and from the pit, a round bulging Yin Tomb rose like a belly.
The Sixth Yin Tomb resembled an inverted buried black earthen oven.
The Earth Belly Fire Swallowing Lord’s divine statue phantom rose from the tomb, then quickly expanded, towering thirty feet high, resembling a giant tower.
The divine statue quickly solidified, using the earth tomb as a stool, sitting with its buttocks below.
The Earth Belly Fire Swallowing Lord’s belly was rounded and enormous, suddenly, the navel expanded, forming a bottomless pit. The edge of the pit quickly opened, almost covering its entire belly.
Within the bottomless pit, layers of Yin Soil rotated inward like a whirlpool.
The Earth Belly Fire Swallowing Lord opened its belly wide, swallowing the surrounding blazing sun and flames, like a gigantic whale opening its huge mouth, with excellent effect.
This battlefield visibly dimmed at an eye-catching speed.
Chun Yangzi’s face paled.
"Yang Intent!" His Yang Dao Realm was profound enough to immediately sense that the Earth Belly Fire Swallowing Lord’s absorption was not just of surface flames and sunlight but also of the surrounding Yang Dao Intent!
Chun Yangzi launched a fierce offensive again.
The more Yin Tombs there were, the more attack options he had.
Liang Ming had to guard six Yin Tombs, finding himself in a highly passive situation.
He barely survived this round of offensive, acquiring a terrifying new wound. The Gray Embryo Earth Robe was slit open with a long opening, Liang Ming was eviscerated, revealing the skeletal ribs within.
The key issue was, Liang Ming used means for healing, yet the sword wound was filled with Yang Intent and Sword Intent, rendering his healing efforts minimal.
Liang Ming exchanged it for the expansion of Yin Soil.
The establishment of the Sixth Tomb brought about qualitative change.
Yin Soil interconnected, the Yin Tombs relied on each other, forming terrain surpassing the last stalemate line, overshadowing the Sun Flame Ore Vein.
All spectators witnessed this scene: Yin Soil rapidly spread, covering a large area, quickly enveloping eighty percent of the battlefield.
Only remaining was twenty percent of dry ground, with the previously emanating massive Yang Energy also dissipated by more than half, incomparable to peak status.
"Perhaps the turning point of this battle is right at this moment."
"Has Liang Ming truly seized the advantage of terrain?"
"Six Yin Tombs, six deities... Liang Ming is not fighting alone. Were it me, I fear losing full control of the battlefield after establishing just the third Yin Tomb."
"Chun Yangzi is facing a tough situation. He’s wary of the Heaven-reaching Hook, unable to exert full force, exploited by Liang Ming’s mindset, steadily advancing, leading to this."
"Liang Ming is about to turn the tables! Since the fight began, he’s never been on top, but soon things will be different."
"Indeed. Chun Yangzi’s other weakness has also become apparent—he isn’t skilled at prolonged battles! Or rather, he’s never experienced such a special war of attrition."
The cultivators outside the arena engaged in lively discussions.
Chun Yangzi’s face was pale.
He and Liang Ming have been in confrontation for five or six days now.
The prolonged exhaustion had left him unable to maintain his former demeanor and composure.
The Cloud Gathering and Sun Supplementing Lamp was already a dried-up spring, unable to provide continuous replenishment. The Noon Sun Patrol Vehicle had been cruising at high altitude for so long, constantly depleting his mana and divine sense.
The Three-Time Yang Body Technique had been employed several times, with his clones frequently falling.
Although the Burning Night Returning Light Sword was powerful, its consumption was also high, and the more Chun Yangzi fought, the more cautious he became with each use.
What he used most frequently was the Nine Yang Locking Finger.
This finger technique consumed relatively little.
However, the mystery of the continuous techniques had already been uncovered by everyone. Liang Ming had suffered losses on the sixth and seventh fingers many times and had become very cautious. At this level, Liang Ming was bound to do everything to block.
This, in turn, allowed Chun Yangzi to maintain the initiative.
Golden Crow Carrying Pill Ring!
Chun Yangzi took out a blast elixir, letting the Golden Crow Carrying Pill fly and explode, breaking a Yin Tomb and successfully returning.
Liang Ming sighed helplessly.
Every time this spiritual treasure carried a pill, its power and use varied greatly depending on the type of elixir.
This made it very difficult for Liang Ming to effectively defend.
This spiritual treasure enriched Chun Yangzi’s methods, covering attack, treatment, recovery, and more, significantly enhancing Chun Yangzi’s overall combat power.
But the problem was the same, each activation of the Golden Crow Carrying Pill Ring would consume a massive amount of Liang Ming’s mana.
Liang Ming, coughing up blood, sneered, "Chun Yangzi, I’m going to win."
"The cultivation technique you practice, ’Pure Yang Pill Scripture,’ is too pure, pure yang to the extent that lone yang cannot exist."
"Only when yang reaches its extreme does yin arise to rotate back. You have only fierceness, only brightness, only ascension, but no storage, no rest, no backflow."
"If you could understand the realm where yang reaches its extreme and yin arises, your sustained power would be more than ten times what it is now?"
"What a pity, what a pity, your path is too extreme."
Liang Ming again attempted to shake Chun Yangzi’s fighting spirit with his words.
The audience, hearing this argument, mostly fell silent.
The cultivators of Nanming Village all showed worried expressions.
Everyone was clear that what Liang Ming said was spot on, validating the current battle situation.
Chun Yangzi snorted coldly, yet there was a bitter taste in his mouth.
Having cultivated for many years, how could he not understand the principle of the interdependence of yin and yang? He was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, having cultivated for over a thousand years, with a broad vision, understanding his limitations.
But understanding his limitations does not mean he can break through them.
He mainly cultivates the ’Pure Yang Pill Scripture’!
His life path of pure yang had already gone too deep and too far, like a lone plank bridge. He had reached the extreme and could not turn back on his own.
Thus, he needed a Feng Shui Treasure Land like the Sun Raising Yang Locking Cloud Altar.
This place was not for him to turn around but to continue sublimating along his path! Thus, there was hope to impact Divinity Transformation.
In Chun Yangzi’s eyes, the golden light reassembled like a rekindled furnace.
Three-Time Yang Body Technique!
The Three-hour Sun Dial Plate flew out again, the morning, noon, and dusk periods lighting up like lamps, quickly manifesting three Yang Bodies.
The Rising Sun Body supported the Cloud Gathering and Sun Supplementing Lamp, attempting to use its own energy to replenish the lamp oil.
The Noon Sun Body charged at the sixth Tomb, landing a punch that led to a burst of flames and frequent thunderous explosions.
The Earth Belly Fire Swallowing Lord was struck so that it leaned back, its massive mouth forced to retract.
The Dusk Sun Body ran towards the fourth Yin Tomb, attempting to seal it.
Chun Yangzi then unleashed a vast fierce sun, with roaring yang fire covering the entire Yin Soil, enveloping all six Yin Tombs.
These tombs, protected by their deities, resisted with difficulty.
These divine avatars were all in dire conditions, the result of Chun Yangzi’s previous accumulated assaults.
In the burning flames, the tomb soil continually collapsed and shrank. Meanwhile, the deities acted individually to supplement the damage.
Liang Ming sighed deeply, maneuvering the Yellow Spring Shovel to actively attack Chun Yangzi, simultaneously casting Nascent Soul Level Yin Soil, constantly replenishing the six Yin Tombs.
Both sides engaged in fierce battle once more.
Exotic field.
Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged, eyes closed.
A red-gold Pill Day hovered above his Bright Mirror Spirit Light Dantian.
A grand, dense brilliance spread layer by layer, each pill pattern resembling the veins of ancient scripture, with each flare, a vast pure yang true intent bursting forth.
The true intent was too abundant!
Yet Ning Zhuo sensed something was wrong.
The pure yang true intent descended, transforming into red-gold light threads, spiraling around countless small mirrors without progressing. It illuminated the mirror surface, warmed the divine sense, and deepened Ning Zhuo’s perception of the Alchemy Fire, yet never truly penetrated the barrier.
The level of Alchemy Dao continued to rise, but the Yang Dao realm remained stagnant, clearly just a door away from the Grandmaster realm.
With just a slight push of the door, one could enter a new stage, but... it just didn’t happen.
