Chapter 170 The Defeat is Decided
This feeling was like a burning flame, rapidly spreading to every corner of Yao Shaosi's body, making his blood boil and gradually consuming his reason. He felt an uncontrollable impulse deep within his heart.
Driven by this, he concentrated all his strength, determined to engage in a life-or-death battle with the formidable enemy before him—Zhao Xuan.
Just at this critical moment, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl seemed to sense the change in its master's state of mind and began to emit soft yet bright rays of light.
These rays of light, like cool spring water, flowed continuously into Yao Shaosi's heart, gradually extinguishing the raging fire of restlessness and restoring his mind to peace.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xuan on the other side was not idle either.
As he formed hand seals, the sun, which had been hanging high in the sky and radiating boundless light, began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, this colossal structure, spanning tens of thousands of miles, collapsed rapidly, like a star heading towards destruction.
As the sun continued to collapse, an extremely powerful gravitational force suddenly erupted.
This gravitational force is like an invisible hand, firmly grasping all surrounding objects and forcibly dragging them toward the location of the sun.
The first to be affected was the vast ocean below. Under the influence of this terrifying gravitational force, a large amount of seawater surged in like wild horses, quickly filling the space originally occupied by the sun.
In an instant, the entire sea surface was churning and splashing, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The depth of the sea, which was originally thousands of miles deep, dropped by more than half in the blink of an eye.
Due to the significant decrease in ocean depth, the originally powerful tidal force spread out instantly, but its power was greatly reduced, remaining only about a quarter of its original strength.
This wasn't because Zhao Xuan secretly used gravity, but rather a powerful inertia.
It just so happened that Yao Shaosi's mind was clouded by the cries of the three clans' fire crows, which reduced his control over the tidal power and caused this situation.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan completed his transformation amidst a dazzling display of firelight.
His entire being transformed into a majestic war god with three heads and six arms, clad in crimson flame armor, exuding extraordinary power and domineering presence.
Countless crows engulfed in flames circled and flew around him, and then, under his control, they transformed into crystal-clear bronze mirrors.
His six thick, powerful arms each gripped a mirror that shone with an equally intense light, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
In an instant, six dazzling golden beams shot out from the eyes of the three ferocious and terrifying heads, like six golden dragons, and shot straight towards a smooth, mirror-like surface with the force of thunder.
Immediately afterwards, the six golden beams bounced and darted back and forth among tens of thousands of bronze mirrors. With each reflection, the golden light became more condensed and powerful, as if it were constantly accumulating endless energy.
In the blink of an eye, these six golden lights had reflected tens of thousands of times!
As the number of repetitions increased, the golden light gradually solidified into a tangible form, dazzling like a materialized pillar of light. Despite the golden light's best efforts to contain itself, a massive amount of power still continuously emanated from it.
These dissipated forces did not vanish into nothingness; instead, they followed the golden light, crisscrossing among tens of thousands of bronze mirrors, weaving layer upon layer of dense, intricate light nets. Just a glance from afar was enough to feel a chilling, tearing force rushing towards one, as if it would rip one's soul apart.
When the number of reflections exceeded one million, the previously somewhat illusory golden light finally solidified into an incomparably solid state, and no longer showed any trace of illusion.
At this moment, the terrifying power contained within the golden light caused even the bronze mirror, which was transformed from a fire crow, to tremble violently, seemingly unable to withstand such immense and vast power.
At that very moment, the bronze mirror suddenly shifted slightly, as if it possessed a spirit. The six golden rays, like birds returning to their nests, found their way home and swiftly and accurately flew into the bronze mirrors held by the six-armed figures.
A miraculous scene unfolded. The six ordinary bronze mirrors had completely lost their original appearance, replaced by six lightsabers radiating endless light and a sharp aura, firmly held in the hands of those six strong and powerful arms.
Just then, Yao Shaosi's previously turbulent heart finally calmed down, but unfortunately, it was all too late.
In his keen perception, the six radiant swords in Zhao Xuan's hand had already taken shape, emanating a chilling aura.
This sense of crisis was as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down on an egg, as if in the next instant, one would be mercilessly cleaved into countless pieces by this incomparably sharp sword light.
In an instant, Yao Shaosi was stunned, his mind went blank.
Because in his view of combat, the contest between the two sides should be gradual, with back and forth, and only after countless clever changes and clashes can the final winner be determined.
However, the current situation was completely beyond his expectations, catching him off guard.
Faced with such a pressing situation, Yao Shaosi dared not be negligent in the slightest. He made a decisive move and quickly mobilized the power of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the three thousand dragon spirits within his body, attempting to build layers of indestructible barriers to resist the fierce attack that Zhao Xuan was about to launch.
At the same time, Zhao Xuan revealed a faint smile, but due to his red-faced, fanged features, the smile looked particularly ferocious and terrifying.
In fact, the law of tides is not weak; it is simply a law that tends to exert its power more in the later stages.
In the early stages of cultivation, instead of focusing solely on inflicting massive damage on enemies, it is better to concentrate on enhancing one's own defense.
The essence of the Tidal Law lies in its ability to transform, accumulate, and transmit power. By skillfully utilizing these properties, cultivators can continuously build advantages in battle and deliver a fatal blow to their opponents at crucial moments.
Transformation, this amazing ability, means the ability to skillfully transform the force exerted by an opponent into a powerful weapon to counterattack.
Just like ripples spreading across a calm lake, when they spread outwards and touch the shore, they quickly flow back inwards and converge like the tide.
Accumulation is like a treasure trove that continuously builds wealth, making the stored energy ever more vast through the continuous gathering of power. As the accumulated power increases, the final power released will naturally be more astonishing.
As for conduction, it comprises two key components.
Firstly, when successfully converting and releasing the opponent's power, the release ratio is astonishingly high, with almost no energy loss or waste.
Secondly, the release of power is extremely diverse. One can choose to unleash all power at once without reservation, or adopt a gradual and progressive strategy, or even release it flexibly in a variety of different combinations.
However, in a fierce battle concerning life and death, who would be so generous as to give their opponent enough time to complete the transformation and accumulate strength?
After all, things change rapidly on the battlefield, and every second counts.
Therefore, if you do not have an absolute advantage in strength that can completely suppress your opponent, the wise thing to do is to focus on defense and not be too obsessed with the gains and losses of a certain moment or local area.
But Zhao Xuan was no ordinary person; he would never allow the rhythm of this battle to fall into Yao Shaosi's control.
Once the three-legged fire crows cried out, Zhao Xuan took control of the battle.
Zhao Xuan's fighting style is characterized by quick attacks and rapid strikes.
He brandished his longsword repeatedly, unleashing six consecutive thrusts in an instant.
Each sword strike carried an incomparably sharp aura, causing the originally gleaming bronze mirror to appear dull and lifeless.
As these six astonishing sword energies roared out, it seemed as if they were about to tear the entire world apart. Even the vast and boundless sea was forcibly cleaved open with a huge gash.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar was heard, and the sharp blade flashed through the void like lightning, easily shattering the solid defense barrier constructed by the three thousand dragon spirits and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
In an instant, countless rays of light scattered, like dazzling fireworks blooming in the night sky.
However, none of this made him pause in the slightest. Zhao Xuan's figure rushed straight into the mysterious world opened up by the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl like a bolt of lightning.
His target was clear and unambiguous—Yao Shaosi.
The heavy armor that had been covering Zhao Xuan suddenly seemed to melt away and vanished.
Instead, a gigantic, three-legged fire crow engulfed in raging flames appeared out of thin air. With a flap of its wings, it unleashed a sea of blazing fire, engulfing Zhao Xuan like a dazzling streak of fire, closely following the golden sword light that sped ahead.
Just as the golden sword reached Yao Shaosi, Zhao Xuan also arrived at Yao Shaosi's side at lightning speed, riding his fire escape technique.
Suddenly, he unleashed his six iron fists, smashing them down on Yao Shaosi like a whirlwind.
Each punch contained terrifying, overwhelming power, and the speed was as fast as lightning. In an instant, tens of thousands of heavy punches slammed into Yao Shaosi's body.
Faced with this sudden and overwhelming attack, Yao Shaosi reacted swiftly, immediately unleashing a powerful energy shield from within his body to defend against it. Undoubtedly, this was the defensive barrier bestowed upon him by the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.
However, Yao Shaosi never expected that his opponent would be so formidable.
