Chapter 636 - 199: Weapon Concepts and Peak Rankings
The scythe slashed down, tearing a quickly spreading pitch-black crack across the sky.
Above the Soul Returning Clan army, eighteen layers of blood-colored barriers appeared, each layer hiding a defensive array diagram composed of billions of vengeful souls, intending to shield against the residual impact when our top fighters strike.
Facing the scythe attack, the Floating Tomb stepped through the void.
A formation diagram of fierce beasts appeared beneath his feet, covering a thousand miles.
His right fist tightened suddenly, and nine bronze pillars entwined with blood-colored evil qi rose from the array.
The pillars displayed various fierce beast reliefs, all opening their eyes at this moment, opening their mouths to spew blood-colored streams at the Floating Tomb.
Tattoos of different fierce beast designs suddenly appeared on the grand body of the Floating Tomb.
"What is that?" Li Zheng glanced at the surging viewers in the live broadcast room and nudged the nearby Ghost Pupil with his elbow.
"Fierce Beast Pillars, a special cultivation method, forged with fierce beasts as its foundation. When performing abilities, it can channel the strength of the fierce beasts into the body... these nine Fierce Beast Pillars, who knows how many fierce beasts the War God has slain to forge them, likely reaching a strength close to the rules."
"So in short, it’s very powerful, right?"
"It must be powerful." Ghost Pupil nodded, his eyes fervently fixed on the Floating Tomb in battle.
The nine pillars landed, and the Earth Vein surged.
The Floating Tomb stood in mid-air, a colossal Dharma Aspect appeared behind him, countless fierce beasts baring fangs and claws, each exuding a terrifying suppression.
Boom!
The Floating Tomb did not dodge or evade, taking on the Soul Slash capable of tearing through space with his body.
When the Floating Tomb wanted to punch again, he saw the expert from the Soul Returning Clan lift the scythe, cutting through and instantly shifting the entire space.
As the space restored, two figures appeared simultaneously in a brand new scene.
This was evidently the expert from the Soul Returning Clan relocating the space to avoid affecting their own army, choosing to change the battlefield.
At this moment, the Floating Tomb was also gathering infinite strength, his right fist suddenly swinging down towards the expert from the Soul Returning Clan below.
Boom!
The earth sank three thousand feet into the ground, and after the dust settled, only an abyss of immeasurable depth lay across the land, its edges as smooth as a mirror, with residual power arcing like electricity.
The Floating Tomb stood collecting his force, sweeping his gaze at the deep pit, a tinge of war intent igniting in his bloodthirsty eyes.
The figure that had been slammed into the ground also emerged at this moment, suspended behind him was an energy scythe many times larger than himself.
The expert from the Soul Returning Clan walked skyward step by step from the abyss, each step leaving burning ghostly blue footprints in the air.
Behind him, the Energy Storm roared and raged.
The two figures in the air vanished instantly, colliding at the center.
Compared to the mountain-like massive figure of the Floating Tomb, the frame of the expert from the Soul Returning Clan appeared extremely small, yet he used the scythe to block a punch from the Floating Tomb that could shatter space at will.
The two figures were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, a sinister smile appearing on the corners of the Floating Tomb’s mouth.
The strength steadily climbed during this time.
Boom!
The fierce beast Dharma Aspect behind the Floating Tomb let out a sky-shattering roar, the beast howl shattering clouds for a hundred miles.
The Nine Nether Claws ripped through space, transforming dragon snakes spewing flames, giant mouths devouring starry light... these terrifying shadows of fierce beasts actively flew forward, madly tearing at the Energy Storm behind the Soul Returning Clan expert, grinding the ghostly blue soul fire into scattered light fragments.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing transformed into a tangible shock wave.
The nearby mountains simultaneously collapsed, the swirling debris crushed to dust before ascending.
The land beneath the two figures sank crazily, not plummeting toward the earth’s core, but sinking into a blood-colored starry sky, a different space torn open by the collision of forces, filled with countless fragmented star remains.
The scythe in the hand of the expert from the Soul Returning Clan suddenly disintegrated, transforming into countless chains, piercing towards the Floating Tomb from all around.
Twisted ghostly faces emerged on the end of each chain, attempting to seal the Floating Tomb.
As the expert from the Soul Returning Clan initiated his attack, he lifted his head, eyes aflame with ghostly blue aiming at the eyes of the Floating Tomb, a three-thousand-foot Huangquan image suddenly rising behind him.
Countless strong figures consumed by soul beasts filled the image.
The Nether River boiled, countless corpses turned over and rose, forming a sky-covering giant spear with their sinister white bones.
The terrifying Dharma Aspects behind the two figures rose like waves, grinding against each other at the intersection point, and falling back into a stalemate with their collisions.
Boom!
The Floating Tomb struck first to break the balance.
All the fierce beast Dharma Aspects behind him merged into his right fist.
The expert from the Soul Returning Clan also grasped the re-condensed Soul Burying Scythe with both hands, the scythe blade opening nine hundred and ninety-nine soul beast eyes, each spewing extinction beams that annihilate the divine soul.
Boom!
A peak-level clash re-ignited.
...
At this time, Qi Sheng, behind the scenes, was also keeping an eye on the confrontation between the Floating Tomb and the expert from the Soul Returning Clan.
The battle between the two sides had already surpassed the reach of the Player Corps.
Even with numbers, the Player Corps’ combat power meant nothing in the face of these two Demigod Realm experts.
He looked at the Guiding Water Ball suspended beside him:
"Guidance, at what tier would you rank the combat power of the Floating Tomb during the peak battles of those years?"
In response to the inquiry, the Guiding Water Ball sighed:
[Black Tide King Level strength, still not reaching the edge of Demon God Level.]
"Peak battles are really thrilling."
[Of course thrilling, back in the days, I wielded two big choppers, blade following every lift...].
"Stop, what I’m more curious about is, what role does ordinary combat power play in wars of this level, can’t even count as cannon fodder, right?"
Facing the inquiry, the Guiding Water Ball shook its head:
[Wrong, peak-level forces have ways to integrate combat power, and ordinary combat power can constitute a force participating in peak-level battles.]
[Take the Reverse Tide Army as an example, they deploy a battle formation on the battlefield, where each warrior is a force within the formation, like a node forming the array. Through the battle formation, the forces of many warriors can be gathered into one strand, capable of infinitely stacking combat power, equally participating in peak-level confrontations, and even slaying Demigod Realm experts.]
