Chapter 1269: Revised Rankings (1)
Physical attacks were not his forte. The self-created Dao he had forged did not target the physical aspect, forcing him to rely on artifacts to compensate for this weakness. His true strength, however, lay in the seamless fusion of physical and spiritual aspects.
With a thunderous boom, invisible fluctuations surged outward, infiltrating the Eternal Psyches of True Saint Jing Qiu, True Saint Wan Hai, and the two other True Saints. These fluctuations targeted their Yuan Soul essences deep within their Eternal Psyches.
"Ah!" True Saint Jing Qiu's eyes glazed over, his gaze growing unfocused and distant. The Xiantian Instrument and Xiantian divine swords he wielded suddenly drooped, their movements growing sluggish and uncoordinated.
Not good, it's a psyche dream illusion! True Saint Wan Hai, who possessed the strongest spirit and will among them and was further protected by a soul-type Xiantian Instrument, was the first to recognize the terrifying nature of Ming Jian's attack.
Yet awareness offered no salvation. True Saint Wan Hai's spirit howled in desperate protest as he struggled to break free. His consciousness plummeted into an endless abyss, shattering one illusion only to be ensnared by another more convincing one.
The other two True Saints fared even worse than True Saint Jing Qiu, their minds surrendering almost immediately to the overwhelming power of the dreamscapes.
A blinding storm of sword lights descended upon True Saint Wan Hai's divine body. Despite being equipped with Xiantian Instrument armor and having cultivated the Eternal Matter Body to a small degree of mastery, his physical defenses crumbled against physical attacks from a Full True Saint. True Saint Wan Hai's body was hurled backward, his vital aura plummeting precipitously.
Had his mind been clear, he could have marshaled his artifacts to form a proper defense, significantly reducing the physical impact. But trapped in the psyche dream illusion as he was, he could only passively endure the onslaught.
Even someone who completely mastered the Eternal Matter Body wouldn’t remain unscathed when taking attacks from a Full True Saint.
Agony erupted throughout True Saint Wan Hai's being as his Eternal Psyche sustained damage, the pain jolting him momentarily back to clarity. With a desperate wave of his hand, countless azure spheres transformed into shimmering droplets that coalesced into a mighty river, surging forth to meet Ming Jian's incoming sword lights.
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged over a hundred blows. One-on-one, Wu Yuan's mana body easily overpowered True Saint Wan Hai in physical attacks.
Boom! Eventually, Wu Yuan identified another opening in his opponent's defense. Wielding his Xiantian Instrument divine sword, he sent Wan Hai flying once more, his vital aura diminishing with alarming speed.
