Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 96 - 46: Fierce Battle, Qianqing Shangyuan Taiyi Divine Thunder Net

Chapter 96: Chapter 46: Fierce Battle, Qianqing Shangyuan Taiyi Divine Thunder Net

Such a terrifying explosion, even a sixth-tier defense treasure would struggle to withstand it. The Nine Orifice Treasure Pearl above his head shook violently, its defense plummeting uncontrollably no matter how much mana was infused.

In a split second, Su Yu also gritted his teeth and decisively abandoned defense, urging his twin swords to continue their fierce assault.

The two flying swords were not affected by the Divine Thunder Net. The power of the divine thunder was significantly reduced around the caster, and the two flying swords attacked the god like maggots on decay, relentlessly.

"Bang!"

The Treasure Light emitted by the Nine Orifice Treasure Pearl was finally torn apart after six seconds, the power of the divine thunder breaking through and surging forth. The Black Water Profound Pearl shone, and a shadow of a Profound Snake flew out, encircling Su Yu to block the divine thunder.

But the Profound Snake Guardian only held for a second before shattering, and the Magical Robe’s defense activated.

Three seconds later, the Magical Robe’s defense shattered, and a protective Qi shield rose.

A second later, the fierce thunder power quickly dissipated, the power of this wave of Qianqing Shangyuan Taiyi Divine Thunder Net was already exhausted.

48,000 Nine Orifice Treasure Pearl defense shattered, 5,000 Black Water Profound Pearl Guardian shattered, 20,000 Magical Robe defense shattered, the protective Qi shield also depleted 8,500. In just eleven seconds, the total damage reached as high as 81,500 points; no treasure below the seventh tier could withstand it.

The key was that this was an area-of-effect, the bombardment range covering the entire arena over 1,500 acres wide.

In the arena, it was completely unavoidable, forcing one to withstand it head-on.

Fortunately, he purchased the Nine Orifice Treasure Pearl before the preliminary exams. Without this sixth-tier defense treasure, he would surely have died under this wave of Divine Thunder Net.

He survived, and his Radiant Transformation was only seconds away. At this time, the two flying swords surrounded Ding Lingyu transformed as a god, attacking madly, and within just ten seconds, half of his health was already drained.

Four hundred thousand Qi and Blood, now only two hundred thousand remain.

If he could activate Radiant Transformation one more time, it would surely end him.

But unfortunately, the cooldown is too long; it would take another hour to activate again.

And even if he could wait until then, he actually can’t afford to, as he has no way to endure another round of Qianqing Shangyuan Taiyi Divine Thunder Net.

When fifteen seconds passed, the Sun True Fire entwining the Sun Concealing Sword disappeared, and the output of the two flying swords respectively dropped back to seven hundred and five hundred, entering a state of diminishing returns.

Additionally, the additional power attached to the sword dissipated; the god’s power took the upper hand. He could no longer suppress like before and could only entangle with the god with the twin swords, occasionally striking by surprise, with both sides entering a stalemate.

Fortunately, at this time, although the god’s power had the upper hand, the advantage was not significant. Coupled with a disadvantage in technique, the continued attack and block of the two flying swords greatly slowed his speed.

Su Yu then soared and quickly moved to create distance, so the god couldn’t reach him for a while and could only occasionally concentrate lightning bolts to blast out or occasionally summon a Taiyi Divine Thunder to strike down.

But none of these could be cast consecutively, and Su Yu had ample time to infuse mana to restore the protective Qi shield defense.

At this time, the two flying swords combined only caused slightly more than 1,000 damage, occasionally surprising with a strike and layering four stages of damage, accumulating around four thousand damage.

Both sides engaged in a back-and-forth battle, wearing each other down.

After more than a minute, the audience around suddenly realized that Ding Lingyu appeared to be at a disadvantage.

"This is too surprising."

"He can actually challenge Ding Lingyu!"

The shock was also shared by the guilds’ upper middle management on the podium. They were considered knowledgeable and knew how much resources the Ding family invested in Ding Lingyu, never expecting a peer to challenge him, especially someone from a civilian background.

"This is a true genius!"

Xu Bochen, the captain of the guild’s second largest team in the main force’s third regiment, was full of emotion, somewhat regretting why he didn’t sign him up at the time.

The expressions of everyone on the podium varied but were mostly restrained, showing nothing. Everyone stealthily glanced at Ding Hao at the center of the podium. This vice president still wore a smile, but it looked very fake, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Sitting at the far right of the podium representing Chu Xinyue was Chu Xiaoyu. She was equally delighted watching the arena, holding her small hands tight, her eyes sparkling with excitement:

"This time we scored big; the lady’s investment will have huge returns!"

"I must inform the lady."

Glancing at others not paying attention to her, she turned her head to secretly contact Chu Xinyue.

The shock and incredulity of the outside audience did not affect Su Yu’s actions. The longer the stalemate, the more skillful he became, completely grasping Ding Lingyu’s technical level. The two flying swords interweaved, continuously attacking, completely suppressing him.

In just three minutes of wear, he drained nearly a hundred thousand health from the god, with less than a hundred thousand remaining.

Yet in the face of such disadvantage, Ding Lingyu showed no panicked or anxious expression, still expressionless, effectively countering, like stalling for time.

Su Yu’s heart stirred, a thought flashed through his mind:

"Could he actually activate another ultimate move?"

"That’s right, the Thunder Net is different from other powerful Daoist techniques; its cooldown is relatively fast."

The cooldown of Five Elements Thunder Skill in the Celestial Ghost Transformation state is only 5 seconds; Ding Lingyu’s Taiyi Divine Thunder’s cooldown is about ten seconds. The Divine Thunder Net as an ultimate would have a longer cooldown, but based on Thunder Skill, the CD estimate wouldn’t be too long.

Judging by Ding Lingyu’s current health and wear speed, as well as his calm demeanor, Su Yu guessed the Qianqing Shangyuan Taiyi Divine Thunder Net’s cooldown might only be around five minutes.

About a minute left until five minutes, lacking explosion means it’s certainly insufficient to kill him.

"If that’s the case....."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

In the next minute, under the tacit cooperation of both sides, as before, they countered and parried, reducing the god’s Qi and Blood by about forty thousand, remaining 63,500 Qi and Blood.

When the fifth minute after the last round of Qianqing Shangyuan Taiyi Divine Thunder Net ended, the expressionless Ding Lingyu finally revealed a smile:

"Your strength indeed exceeded my expectations; you have the qualification to challenge me, but not right now!"

"It’s over!"

"Qianqing Shangyuan Taiyi Divine Thunder Net!"

He whispered, stretching out a hand to press virtually, igniting twenty thousand mana into thunderous power, exploding, and turning the entire arena into a sea of thunder, blocking everyone’s view.

In just two seconds, Su Yu’s protective Qi shield was torn apart by the violent thunder power.

"Celestial Ghost Transformation!"

His form rapidly changed from flesh and blood into a grey-green Celestial Ghost form. The violent divine thunder corrosion, health rapidly declined.

Forty-five tier Celestial Ghost Transformation: Qi and Blood 90,000, Mana 18,000, Physique 2,700, Strength 4,500, Speed 1,800 km/h, Celestial Ghost form, Five Elements Escape Skill, Material-immaterial Transformation.

The Physique of 2,700 can resist all damages of 2,700, including physical, magical, and divine thunder damage.

Nearly seven thousand damage per second, sustained for a full nine seconds, a formidable ninety thousand Qi and Blood instantly left just over 27,000.

When the divine thunder power dissipated, and the arena cleared, everyone saw the Celestial Ghost transformation standing in the void, raising a hand and blasting a Binghuo Divine Thunder towards Ding Lingyu.

"What?"

"This is impossible?"

Ding Lingyu’s face showed panic for the first time.

"Kaboom!"

The Binghuo Divine Thunder exploded with a massive -7,200 damage, its great power directly pushing him away.

"This can’t be!"

The god shot up like a meteor falling towards the Celestial Ghost, not yet approaching when another Taiyi Divine Thunder struck down.

The Celestial Ghost flew backward, raising a hand and slapping a Geng Metal Divine Thunder onto it, exploding between the god and Celestial Ghost simultaneously.

The god soared through the exploded thunder fire like a meteor while another Gui Water Divine Thunder surged forward, another -7,200 appeared stopping him.

"Celestial Ghost Transformation!"

Ding Lingyu gritted his teeth and accelerated again.

The two chased and fled, the god’s speed slightly faster than the Celestial Ghost, and with the arena so small, he quickly caught up, the two clashing at the edge of the arena.

The god gathered lightning into a spear fiercely piercing the Celestial Ghost, exploding with 4800 damage, a backhand punch struck down, exploding with 1100 damage.

The Celestial Ghost clawed across the god’s chest, two 700 damages popped up, making him click his tongue:

"Truly worthy of a sect class transformation skill."

Have to know that his Celestial Ghost Transformation itself is a refined level transformation skill, with the Golden Finger bonus. Forty-five tiers are equivalent to the ninetieth tier Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill, while Ding Lingyu’s god transformation is only about fifty tiers at most.

Despite the large tier gap, the attributes still lag, showing the overall disparity’s enormity.

If only with the Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill, predetermined to be beaten brutally.

But unfortunately, it’s just one of his methods.
