Chapter 822: Good Friend
Clack, clack.
As the two Celestial Cosmic Rings collided, the inner and outer rings pressed fiercely against each other. However, the inner Celestial Cosmic Ring appeared to harbor denser spiritual qi and more concentrated radiance, even showing signs of expanding outward.
Daoist Cangsheng's cultivation level had always been slightly lower than Wen Yuan's, and with the loss of his arm, that gap was widened further.
Moreover, he was controlling the Celestial Cosmic Ring and the East Sea Chrono Wheel simultaneously, so the amount of cultivation power he could allocate to the Celestial Cosmic Ring was greatly diminished.
As a result, he found himself unable to overpower Venerable Wen Yuan's Celestial Cosmic Ring.
However, he still had the might of the East Sea Chrono Wheel. He shifted the Chrono Wheel's light screen, and the inner Celestial Cosmic Ring was forced backward to the position it had been in a moment ago, while the outer Celestial Cosmic Ring contracted significantly.
Venerable Wen Yuan tried his hardest to push the outer Celestial Cosmic Ring back, but he could not stop it from contracting.
Nonetheless, that wasn't the only way to use the legendary artifact. Waves surged within Venerable Wen Yuan's Sea of Qi as he spoke with a heavy tone. "You don't even know how to use the Celestial Cosmic Ring!"
He formed a hand seal, and the inner Celestial Cosmic Ring suddenly rotated. In mere moments, it transformed into a spherical light barrier, once again splitting the space into two separate realms—only this time, the barrier was a solid one.
Compared to the hidden realm that Daoist Cangsheng had created with the Celestial Cosmic Ring, the hidden realm that Venerable Wen Yuan had made was far sturdier and nearly indestructible.
Venerable Wen Yuan's Great Dao of Primordial Chaos was perfectly attuned to the Celestial Cosmic Ring. The moment he obtained the ring, he acquired even greater power. In contrast, the Celestial Cosmic Ring in Daoist Cangsheng's hands now seemed like a counterfeit.
