Under Withered Tree's hands, lightning struck continuously. After two hours, he finally turned Hua Hu, who was difficult to deal with, into ashes!
Although he had won, he had consumed a lot of energy. Moreover, he was not happy about the victory at all because this was not the victory he wanted!
In terms of strength, Hua Hu of Zhou Xian's Human Sect was indeed much weaker than him. However, this damned Taoist tradition in the pores was too effective against the Way of Thunder! It was simply born to restrain thunder. It was his biggest weakness. No matter what kind of lightning he struck, the hundreds of thousands of pores on Hua Hu's body would open up, leaving him with nowhere to bite!
The reason why he could win was that when he came in, a mysterious cultivator gave him a porcelain bottle that contained some kind of smoke cloud. The cultivator specifically reminded him that this thing was useless against other cultivators, only Hua Hu of Human Sect, who survived by relying on his pores! It was as if the cultivator had predicted that he would encounter Hua Hu.
In the end, he hit the nail on the head.
Both of them were flying towards the Source of Tao, so it was normal for them to bump into each other. Withered Tree wanted to kill Hua Hu to clear up the trouble in the battle for the Source of Tao. However, Hua Hu's thoughts were simple. As long as he could hold Hua Hu back, he would be able to pave the way for Zhou Xian's overall victory.
Personally, this cultivator from Human Sect was very clear about the overall situation.
Thus, the two of them began to fight. They knew each other very well. Withered Tree spent half an hour trying several methods that he had figured out to deal with Hua Hu, but they were all useless! Seeing that he had dragged on for too long, he was afraid that the Source of Tao would change, so he had no choice but to open the porcelain bottle!
The smoke cloud in the bottle was colorless, odorless, and silent as if it was an empty bottle. Anyway, Withered Tree did not notice anything!
He truly realized the use of this thing when he saw Hua Hu's body. Previously, when he was struck by lightning, Hua Hu's body should have had close to five hundred thousand pores dissipating the force. However, as the battle continued, the number of pores dissipating force increased to four hundred thousand, then three hundred thousand. Thus, Ku Mu understood that the thing in the porcelain bottle was used to block the pores. The fewer pores that dissipated, the more thunder force that remained in the body. It was a very simple principle.
It had to be said that this method was really simple. But because it was so simple, even a top Yuanying like him could not figure out what was in the bottle. It should have been made by a Supreme, right?
Whether or not this counted as cheating, there was actually no conclusion. Every cultivator who entered this place had a few powerful toys given to them by their masters and elders. It was just that the item he obtained was more targeted!
Of course, Hua Hu also felt the changes in his pores. He knew that his opponent had secretly done something, so he tried to resolve it!
Among the enemies of the Human Sect, there was no lack of people who thought of this method to block his pores. Hence, he was not unfamiliar with this method. He also had many ways to clear his pores.
However, after a series of attempts, he was surprised to find that none of his methods worked. Instead, it caused the pores to become more and more blocked!
By the time he realized that he was in trouble, it was already too late for him to escape.
The Dao of Lightning was also an orthodoxy that placed a lot of emphasis on movement. In fact, it was even more so than the Swordsman. This was because the Dao of Lightning had never heard of anyone defending against lightning. They were all used to strike people, not to defend themselves!
What if he didn't have any defensive skills? Hence, they could only learn from the Swordsman and run.
Of course, their running was different from that of the Swordsman. The Swordsman's flying sword had a spirit and could search for its target on its own. The lightning of the Dao of Lightning was straight and could not be controlled by the Swordsman.
This difference gave the cultivators of the two orthodoxies different requirements when it came to escaping. To put it simply, the Swordsman could escape more unscrupulously because the spirit of the sword would help its master to control it for a short period of time. The Dao of Lightning had more restrictions. Otherwise, they would not be able to release lightning! They would not be able to control lightning!
Hua Hu could not outrun Withered Tree. Instead, the pores all over his body became even more blocked! After calculating the distance, he knew that he could not run to the Source of Dao. He could only rely on his companions for help. Hence, he gave up and focused on perishing together with his opponent.
Unfortunately, this passive method of self-destruction was not very effective. It was reasonable for his body to die and his soul to be destroyed.
Withered Tree rested for a while. He was worried about the changes in the Source of Dao and hurried on. In fact, he was only worried about one person. That was the Swordsman's single ear!
Daoist Shangyuan, on the other hand, was in a different situation. His opponent was a rare soul cultivator. This kind of opponent did not pose much pressure to him. However, the problem was that his mysterious ability was not very effective against soul cultivators.
His mysterious ability was only effective against humans! For example, some other Cultivation Races, such as Void Beasts, Mutated Beasts, Soul Bodies, Corpses, and so on. These races had their own mysterious abilities. They called this supernatural ability. The effect of the human's acquired mysterious abilities against the natural instincts of these races was imaginable.
In fact, it was very easy to deal with soul bodies. All it took was transcendence energy!
However, this required time!
Daoist Shangyuan was firmly in control of the process. He neither took risks nor indulged. This was the standard method of orthodox Daoism. It was the foundation of Daoism's disciples, so he was not unfamiliar with it.
After dealing with the soul body, he flew towards the Source of Dao at a leisurely pace. He could feel that there was a fight at the Source of Dao. However, this was his character. He did not think about things beyond his ability. He only wanted to deal with the trouble at hand. As for the safety of others, it was up to fate whether they lived or died. Who could save who?
His mentality was the standard Daoist mentality. He was not happy with external gains or sad for himself. No matter how important the mission was, it was not as important as his view on cultivation. He would never be hot-blooded, but he would never shrink back!
He was a firm believer that a journey of a thousand miles began with a single step. He would solve the obstacles he encountered and continue his journey after solving them. He never thought about taking shortcuts. He did not think about what happened at the Source of Dao. He did not think about whether his companions were in danger. He did not even think about whether it was his turn to have an epiphany!
The Source of Dao was filled with people from Zhou Xian. He would walk there slowly. If it was filled with people from Heaven's Chosen, he would also fly there slowly! He had suffered a lot in his life because of this character. At the same time, he had also gained a lot. He was like a duck floating in the water.
Originally, if the five of them met at the Source of Dao, Zhou Xian would have a high chance of winning even though there were only two of them. One was hot-blooded like Lou Xiaoyi, while the other was steady like a mountain. It would be easy for them to guard the Source of Dao!
However, because of the Matrix Technique, because of the excessive tilting of fate towards Heaven's Chosen, it finally affected the development of the momentum. There was a change in the unseen world.
In the end, the Daoist who gave up first and advanced also retreated bumped into Shangyuan's direction!
On the other hand, Ku Mu was in the direction of Guang Chang. This was the best draw that couldn't be any better!
With Shangyuan's temper, he would only continue to move forward after moving the stones in his path. However, with the character of Heaven's Chosen Daoist, he would always move forward!
When these two met, one would fight and the other would flee. There would be no end to it! They would not think about what would happen at the Source of Dao!
When Dead Tree and Guang Chang, these two top cultivators in Heaven's Chosen Mainland, bumped into each other, there was no doubt that confidence would return to them!
