Chapter 458: Chapter 311: 40-Level Star Stone! Innate Collapse! [Vote for Monthly Tickets!]_2
...
"Ridiculous!"
"Even an Innate Grandmaster can be trapped!"
"How can we defeat this?"
Yang Wang, with the Heaven and Earth Two Bridges initially connected, manifested the Qingyun above his head when he mobilized Innate True Qi, and with the rise of Qi-Blood Smoke, he finally resisted the pressure of the domain, moving step by step toward the arena—
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Every step he took, the earth trembled, as if a giant connecting heaven and earth was walking, bringing a tremendous shock to the mind.
"Innate Qingyun!"
"Qi-Blood Smoke!"
"Grandmaster!"
Yan Chuan held the ’Star Stone’ in his sleeve, looking at the newcomer, completely unaware of how an Innate Grandmaster could intrude into his ’Gravity Domain’.
Luckily, after the ’Star Stone’ was upgraded to Level 40, one of the four traits, the ’Gravity Domain’, not only became more powerful but also more as-you-wish, allowing the gravity to be freely adjusted, from small enough so that even an ant could crawl with difficulty, to large enough—
Large enough to be unimaginable!
Yan Chuan still didn’t know the limit of the gravity domain’s Suppression.
Right now, he was only showing the power of three layers.
Yet even so, it made an Innate Grandmaster who had connected the Heaven and Earth Two Bridges walk with such difficulty, if he unleashed full power—
"Even an Innate must bow down!"
Yan Chuan was delighted.
The strength of the Level 40 Star Stone was so high; with this treasure at his side, even if he encountered an Innate Grandmaster in the future, Yan Chuan wouldn’t be at their mercy.
This was a trump card.
The only regret was that, for this ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’, for the first-tier ’Arena Master Award’, the ’Level 40 Star Stone’ had been exposed too early.
If a trump card is revealed too early and becomes widely known, can it still be considered a trump card?
"’Star Stone’ is in the open!"
"I must prepare more trump cards for myself!"
The new trump card must at least rival the ’Level 40 Star Stone’: "It must at least be a Fourth-Rank Exotic Treasure, or even at the Fourth Rank Peak!"
At this level of Exotic Treasure, as of now, on Chess Stone Peak, among the thousand plus Heavenly Pride contestants, only three have appeared—
’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’ of Ying Jifeng.
’Peace Token’ of Wang Zhengyi.
And Yan Chuan’s own ’Level 40 Star Stone’.
Trying to find another one like it is easier said than done!
Even if Yan Chuan has the "Treasure Rock", even if he upgrades the "Treasure Rock" by one more level, the ’Golden Silk Silkworm Armor’, ’White Horn Trumpet’, and ’Vajra Pet’ on him will need more precious materials to continue upgrading.
Rare materials are hard to find!
Even if he finds them—
"Level 20 upgraded to Level 30, only advances from Second Rank to Third Rank, at the postnatal, limit-breaking level, they can barely claim supremacy, but against the innate, it’s a far cry."
Unless he gives up ’Golden Silk Silkworm Armor’ and other treasures, and starts anew to acquire other Exotic Treasures, for example, upgrading Wang Zhengyi’s ’Peace Token’: "It’s originally a Fourth-Rank Exotic Treasure, upgrading it to the Fourth Rank Peak might unexpectedly even diminish the cultivation of an Innate Grandmaster."
...
Yan Chuan lay on the ground pondering.
On the other side.
Yang Wang was still struggling against the Gravity Domain heading to the arena, each step resonating, but before he could step onto the stage, his steps suddenly halted, he looked up the stage, grinned, and turned back.
He moved even faster on the return.
In just a few steps!
Exited the domain, soared into the sky, and vanished into the clouds.
...
"Grandmaster!"
"Innate Grandmaster!"
"Who is that?"
"One of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Black Hawk Sect, ’White Eyebrow Eagle King’ Yang Wang!"
...
Yang Wang’s appearance caused a stir atop Chess Stone Peak.
The myriad of contestants and spectators knew that the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ was being closely watched by quite a few Innate Grandmasters, and these Grandmasters were likely accompanying Emperor Yan’s Dragon Chariot, stationed alongside the ’Mythical Weapon’ in the heavens.
Everyone speculated this way.
But the emergence of Yang Wang marked the sixteenth day of the ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’, the first time an Innate appeared, a Grandmaster descended!
And what Yang Wang aimed for—
"The Hai Character Arena!"
"Even the ’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’ could be suppressed! This Dharma King of the Black Hawk Sect must have been startled, hence he couldn’t help but descend to witness personally!"
"Even an Innate Grandmaster like the White Brow Eagle King struggled to walk in the domain Yan Chuan deployed, how can it be breached?"
"Has Yan Chuan become invincible?!"
...
Along with Yang Wang’s appearance, after the initial shock, more prevalent was despair among the people.
Originally, Yan Chuan’s team successively gained powerhouses like Wang Zhengyi and Chen Ze, with the three of them together, attacking their arena was already arduous.
Once the ’Peace Token’ appeared, it was the first despair.
Finally, when Tan Dou attempted to topple the arena with the ’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’, unexpectedly Yan Chuan and his companions had new tricks, the ’Gravity Domain’ emerged, bringing the second despair.
"This time!"
"Even the ’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’ is useless, who else can take the Hai Character Arena from Yan Chuan and his companions?"
The crowd was in despair.
...
"Why did the Emperor summon me back?"
"Aren’t you curious about what treasures that kid Yan Chuan is hiding?"
Yang Wang carefreely returned to the sky, summoned back by Emperor Yan, feeling rather displeased, he grinned at Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, if you weren’t curious, you should have stopped me before I reached the clouds!"
Yang Wang, indeed a rascal.
Hearing this, Emperor Yan laughed: "I too am a mortal being with curiosity, naturally, I wanted to see if Yan Chuan’s method could trap an Innate."
He openly admitted it.
It was precisely because of curiosity that Emperor Yan didn’t stop Yang Wang.
"But since the Eagle King can walk within that domain, though the treasure is strong, it seems to have its limits, hence there’s no need to linger anymore, to avoid disrupting the Sword Discussion." Explained Emperor Yan to Yang Wang.
Explain he might.
But in truth, as even Yang Wang himself knew: "Hey! The claim of avoiding disrupting the Sword Discussion is false, but fearing I might escape with the ’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’, ’Peace Token’, and that domain treasure from Yan Chuan is true!"
Yang Wang laughed heartily.
He acknowledged as much—
Peace Token!
Domain Treasure!
Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb!
Currently, on the Hai Character Arena, there were three Fourth-Rank Treasures out in the open, even an Innate Grandmaster couldn’t help but be tempted, especially someone as ’unrestrained’ as himself.
"Emperor Yan is right to be cautious against me."
"Even I don’t trust myself."
Yang Wang laughed loudly.
The heavens were suddenly filled with joy.
This joy wasn’t just Yang Wang mockingly joshing about, more of it was because Yang Wang tested out that Yan Chuan’s domain treasure’s threat level was limited against someone of Yang Wang’s Innate Grandmaster caliber, similar in strength to the ’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’, ’Peace Token’, no need for excessive worry, no fear that this treasure might later endanger one’s life.
With thoughts eased.
Naturally joyful.
...
However.
They eased, they rejoiced.
Yet atop Chess Stone Peak, representatives like Tan Dou and Ying Jifeng among the top Heavenly Pride were at a loss!
"Even ’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’ got suppressed and silenced, how do we fight?"
Ying Jifeng was in despair.
On the stage.
Tan Dou lay on the ground, adapting for a while, teeth chattering, but finally able to barely speak, he grinned humbly at Yan Chuan, Wang Zhengyi, and the others: "Fe... llo... w... broth... ers, I... apolog... ize! I won’t detonate, withdraw the domain, and I’ll get off the stage. With such a treasure, you are invincible, no one dares provoke, save your strength."
Tan Dou surrendered.
Yan Chuan turned a deaf ear.
Magic Child! Magic Child!
This little rascal is not mentally sound, trusting him would be a mistake!
Yan Chuan was sure, as long as he withdrew the ’Gravity Domain’ as requested, Tan Dou would get up, pick up the ’Three Yin Divine Lead Extinguishing Yang Bomb’, and throw it over for another explosion.
This guy is treacherous.
Yan Chuan didn’t believe a word he said, directly ignoring him, laying on the ground, wholeheartedly running the "Yijinjing", under the pressure of the Gravity Domain, Yan Chuan’s whole body was being oppressed.
Where there is oppression, there will be resistance!
Therefore the whole body resisted!
Sinew, Bone, Skin, and Membrane!
Everywhere trembled!
Qi-Blood surged, consuming greatly.
In such circumstances, Inner Strength and Inner Power were absorbed by the Sinew, Bone, Skin, and Membrane, physical quality was tempered, forged, honed.
Gravity Domain!
The ultimate cultivation tool!
Before coming to Cang Mountain, Yan Chuan would spend an hour or so each day using the ’Gravity Domain’ of the ’Star Stone’ to train.
After the Sword Discussion began, to hide this Star Stone trump card, he hadn’t used it, and hadn’t trained this way for half a month, now that it’s exposed, Yan Chuan simply seized the opportunity to cultivate.
Oppression!
Resistance!
Tempering!
Pain mixed with pleasure!
This feeling, long time no see!
Yan Chuan was immersed in it, showing no concern for Tan Dou’s series of facial transformations from surrendering to cursing to flattering and pleading.
This Magic Child!
So shameless!
Who knows what expression Tan Yunqing wears in the heavens, seeing his son like this.
At least, below the stage, all four of Tan Dou’s teammates had their faces flushed red, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
