Lu Ping guessed that this water ape might be a spirit. Otherwise, Linglong would not have acted so strangely in the face of this water ape. Lu Ping even guessed that this water ape might be a spirit treasure similar to Linglong's Qiankun Wine Cauldron. However, the quality of this spirit treasure was definitely above Linglong's Wine Cauldron. However, Lu Ping never imagined that this water ape would be the spirit of the Qiankun Wine Cauldron!
The Qiankun Wine Cauldron was one of the six Divine Treasures that opened the heavens. It was used by Daoist Ape to determine the world's spirit veins. This item's spirit, Linglong, was bold enough to encourage him to kill it so that it could absorb it. This was really …
Lu Ping found this huge gap difficult to accept. Lu Ping even had the thought of killing Linglong first. Linglong was so frightened that she hid inside the wine cauldron, not daring to come out again. In fact, when she heard that the water ape was the spirit of the Qiankun Wine Cauldron, Linglong was already shivering inside.
However, it was impossible for Lu Ping to escape unscathed. He had completely offended this water ape. After the water ape's strength was inexplicably weakened, it was now the water ape's turn to attack Lu Ping.
Lu Ping's two flying swords flew out together, but the water ape was not afraid at all. After its body turned into flowing water, the thin water sword stabbed into the water ape's body, but the water ape remained unscathed.
Lu Ping's eyes narrowed. The two flying swords slashed through the air, hoping to break through the water vein space and escape. However, under the water ape's control, the moment the flying swords cut through the water vein space, the water vein automatically repaired itself. Lu Ping had no chance to escape.
Lu Ping's [Water Manipulation Art] had always been strong, and he was even able to imprison a cultivator of the same level with it. But now, his control over the water vein was slowly being stripped away by this water ape.
Lu Ping flipped his swords upside down and countless sword rays began to converge. The [Sea of Hundred Rivers] was instantly torn open by Lu Ping's [Sea of Hundred Rivers] technique. However, the water ape only frowned. Then, tiny water veins split apart and flowed into Lu Ping's [Sea of Hundred Rivers] technique. Each tiny water vein was tightly attached to a sword ray.
Lu Ping's Sea of Hundred Rivers Sword Technique was nearing the major success stage. When this supreme sword technique was unleashed, a total of 129,600 sword lights would converge to form a sword vortex. Normally, this technique would allow him to crush his enemies. It could be considered as Lu Ping's trump card.
However, just as Lu Ping pushed the [Sea of Hundred Rivers] to its limits, he noticed that the water ape's control over the water veins had also reached its limits. Just a little bit more and Lu Ping would be able to break through the [Sea of Hundred Rivers]. But suddenly, Lu Ping discovered that the [Sea of Hundred Rivers] had started to break free from his control.
Lu Ping turned pale with fright and spread out his divine sense. Only then did he realize that the water ape had secretly done something. He was secretly shocked. He didn't think that the Sea of Hundred Rivers Sword Technique could be broken in such a way. Could it be that this water ape was extremely familiar with the sword technique that he cultivated? Could it be that the North Sea Wave Listening Technique that he cultivated was a technique that had been passed down from ancient times to Jiao Daoren?
However, just as Lu Ping's divine sense spread out with all its might, he suddenly discovered an unfamiliar and extremely faint divine sense within the water vein. Lu Ping hadn't noticed it during the battle. Now that he suddenly discovered it, the divine sense disappeared like a startled rabbit.
However, even such a short period of time was enough for Lu Ping to confirm that the divine sense had come from the water ape before him.
Lu Ping was secretly shocked. There had long been rumors that after a spiritual treasure survived the third Thunder Trial and became a Pure Yang spiritual treasure, its weapon spirit would be able to leave its body and walk the world. It would even look no different from an ordinary cultivator. Now, it seemed that this was indeed the case. This water ape weapon spirit not only had extremely powerful abilities, it even had the divine sense of a normal cultivator.
However, this divine sense did not seem to be very strong. In fact, it seemed extremely weak. Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was some hidden secret that he didn't know about?
In an instant, Lu Ping spread out his own divine sense, which far exceeded that of a late Dharma adept and was even comparable to a Pure Yang divine sense. However, the weak divine sense from before had disappeared without a trace. No matter how hard Lu Ping tried, he couldn't find any trace of it. However, at this moment, Lu Ping sensed that the water ape was acting strangely.
This water ape had obviously noticed the powerful divine sense that Lu Ping had spread out. However, Lu Ping's divine sense was so strong that the water ape was momentarily stunned and even panicked.
Lu Ping, however, suddenly realized that this type of weapon spirit was able to stand out because it possessed intelligence that was no less than that of an ordinary person. The water ape in front of him was obviously a Pure Yang weapon spirit that had survived the third Thunder Trial. Its intelligence was even more refined, and it could even leave its body and exist.
However, it was ultimately just a weapon spirit. Although it had also developed divine sense, it was extremely weak. However, this weak divine sense was extremely important to it.
And this was the weakness of weapon spirits. Due to the lack of sufficiently strong divine sense to protect it, it was extremely easy for other, more powerful divine senses to invade it. In fact, it could even be completely erased by a practitioner with a more powerful divine sense.
It was at this moment that Lu Ping's [Sea of Hundred Rivers Sword Skill] suddenly crumbled. Just like that, his peerless sword skill was easily broken by the water ape.
However, Lu Ping was not shocked. Instead, he was delighted. He secretly speculated that the countless tiny streams of water had been able to seep into Lu Ping's sword light. Was it because he had obtained this strange divine sense?
After Lu Ping's supreme magic power had been broken, Lu Ping's situation had become even more difficult. The Water Manipulation Technique was still unable to gain the upper hand in the battle for control of the water vein. All Lu Ping could do was try his best to delay the water ape's suppression of the water vein space.
Lu Ping's divine sense filled the surrounding water vein space. Previously, Lu Ping had been truly frightened by the water ape's identity as a weapon spirit of the Heaven-opening Artifact. After a series of exchanges, Lu Ping had been absolutely suppressed by the water ape. He had forgotten that the water ape in front of him was ultimately just a weapon spirit. Even if it could be a Pure Yang weapon spirit or an existence of a higher level, as long as it was still a weapon spirit, its spiritual intelligence and divine sense would always be its weakness compared to the other abilities it possessed.
However, Lu Ping did not impatiently attempt to use his own divine sense to invade or even erase the water ape's spiritual intelligence. Although Lu Ping was now very confident in the cultivation of his divine sense, Lu Ping had previously captured the water ape's divine sense. This weapon spirit had actually cultivated divine sense. Although it looked extremely weak, a weapon spirit of a Heaven-opening Artifact with divine sense was still somewhat of a fear to Lu Ping.
The spiritual essence in Lu Ping's body surged, and a pair of purple jade bracelets encircled his body. Then, two purple-blue halos burst out in all directions, once again expanding the range of movement that Lu Ping could move around. Then, a bell rose next to Linglong's wine cauldron. However, this spiritual-level magic treasure looked very dazzling among all the spirit treasures Lu Ping had on him.
Lu Ping condensed his divine sense into a hammer and fiercely struck the bronze bell suspended in mid-air.
Dong!
Lu Ping's divine sense sent a slight stab of pain. Fortunately, this bell was only a spiritual-level magic treasure. If Lu Ping used his divine sense to strike the real Vast Sea Bell, he would probably have to use the cloud sail to protect his divine sense in advance.
The strange bell sound directly passed through the water veins and exploded in the water ape's ears. Caught off guard, the water ape only shivered. Lu Ping could clearly sense that in that instant, the water ape's control over the surrounding water veins had weakened to a certain extent. Two purple halos burst out of Lu Ping's purple jade bracelets again. He exerted his Water Manipulation Technique in succession, and immediately regained control over a part of the water veins, temporarily improving his situation.
However, at this moment, the one who truly felt lucky was Lu Ping. This was because the moment when Lu Ping used the imitation of the Vast Sea Bell to launch a divine sense attack on the water ape, the water ape was able to break free from this divine sense attack in an instant.
The cultivation of this water ape's divine sense was clearly inferior to Lu Ping's. However, under the full force of its contraction, the water ape's artifact spirit body was able to defend itself, and it might not be able to break free from the direct threat of Lu Ping's divine sense.
This water ape's divine sense protection was clearly beyond Lu Ping's expectations. Fortunately, Lu Ping had not directly used his own divine sense to attack this artifact spirit. Otherwise, with its current display of divine sense protection, even someone as strong as Lu Ping would most likely suffer a loss.
What a cunning artifact spirit. It was worthy of being nurtured by a heaven-opening artifact. It had actually disguised its weakest point as a trap for Lu Ping to jump into!
However, this was ultimately its weakness. Thus, Lu Ping simply wrapped the cloud sail around him. Apart from leaving a portion of his divine sense to monitor the water ape in front of him, the rest of it condensed into a hammer and struck the bronze bell repeatedly.
Dong! Dong! Dong! …
This kind of attack could actually be considered a method of killing 1000 enemies while injuring 800 of oneself. As the hammer of divine sense rang the imitation of the Vast Sea Bell, it was also destroying one's own divine sense.
However, Lu Ping could afford this. His divine sense was originally far superior to that of the artifact spirit. Now, Lu Ping was using the cloud sail to protect his divine sense, while the water ape's artifact spirit had a natural disadvantage in terms of divine sense cultivation. As Lu Ping continued to use the Vast Sea Bell as a form of divine sense attack, the water ape could only retreat in defeat.
After 18 consecutive rings of the bell, Lu Ping once again seized control of a considerable portion of the water vein from the hands of the water ape. Once again, he could advance and retreat as he pleased.
At this time, it would not be difficult for Lu Ping to break through the water vein and retreat. However, since he had already found the artifact spirit's weakness, it would be too much of a pity for Lu Ping to give up this opportunity to indirectly fight against the heaven-opening artifact!
Lu Ping waved his sleeves, and a strange pair of scissors appeared in his hands. A huge praying mantis lay on Lu Ping's back and stared at the water ape in front of it. It waved its pair of large blades back and forth. Suddenly, Lu Ping shouted at the water ape as if to boost his own courage, but also as if to provoke it, "I am not afraid of you!"
