Chapter 226 Ambush (2)
Gu Yuchuan made the first move. He knew that his cultivation was weaker, and that if he made the first move, he still had a chance of winning. If he were to defend himself, the final outcome would likely be defeat, and he did not want to lose.
He channeled his magic power into the Myriad Dragons Diagram, and instantly, the Myriad Dragons Diagram activated, turning the area into a sea. None of the three brothers expected that a mere demon at the second level of the Golden Core stage would dare to attack them first.
Shen Yan'an shouted, "You monster, how dare you! We brothers tried to persuade you, but you remained stubborn. Well then, let us show you what we brothers can do!"
After he finished speaking, a gray prayer flag appeared above his head, covered with eerie ghostly energy. Upon closer inspection, one could see many ferocious ghosts within it, indicating that Shen Yan'an was a demonic cultivator.
The Dragon Gate opened, and four demonic beasts appeared behind Gu Yuchuan. He pushed off with his feet and stood on the head of the dragon. Huge waves appeared behind them, making him look like a god of the ocean.
However, these four demonic beasts, one at the second level of the Golden Core stage and three at the first level of the Golden Core stage, are definitely weaker in cultivation than their opponent, but they outnumber them. It's hard to say how they will fare in a fight.
Gu Yuchuan charged towards Shen Yannian, who had the best cultivation. The four demonic beasts split into two groups to fight the rest. He formed hand seals, and the sea became turbulent. Countless divine lightning bolts emerged from the water, unstoppable, as if to shatter the enemy instantly.
Lightning techniques are always the most powerful offensive methods. Even though Gu Yuchuan himself is not particularly skilled in lightning techniques, he uses this innate supernatural power of his bloodline very smoothly.
Shen Yannian frowned slightly. The power of this divine lightning exceeded his expectations. Its strength was even greater than when he was at the third level of the Golden Core stage, which showed that the other party was a prodigy. However, Shen Yannian was now a cultivator at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage. Although he was shocked, it was easy to deal with.
He didn't even use any defensive techniques. Instead, a fan appeared in his hand. This fan was different from the folding fan used by ordinary men and scholars. It was a round fan full of feathers, mostly red with some pink and orange mixed in. It looked stunning, which was quite mismatched with his uncle-like appearance.
The fact that it could make him abandon aesthetics and mismatch shows how powerful this magic weapon is. It is a fire-attribute magic weapon with only offensive capabilities, but with just this one ability, it is already a top-tier low-grade magic weapon. It is called the Five Birds Fan of Strange Fire. It is made by taking the tail feathers of five divine birds with fire attributes and their natal demonic fire. Once it is fanned, endless strange fire will burn everything in front of it.
He simply waved his hand a few times, and several flames annihilated all the divine lightning, as if Gu Yuchuan's attack was useless. However, this was within his expectations; he hadn't expected that such a small effect would be enough.
It seems that the most powerful function of his Myriad Dragons Diagram is about to be revealed, which is a supernatural formation called the Divine Dragon Formation. However, the current grade of his Myriad Dragons Diagram is indeed a bit of a stretch to use, but that's all he can do.
"You do have some skill. Then let's see my formation. You lot, come back here."
These four demonic beasts also looked somewhat disheveled, with even three of them at the first level of the Golden Core stage bearing some injuries. Although their injuries could be easily healed with resources, the consumption of resources was significant, which would be a pity for Gu Yuchuan, especially since these were his natal magic treasures. If one of them died and had to be reborn, it might affect the temporary grade of the magic treasure, which was obviously not a good thing.
"The Divine Dragon Formation is activated."
The four demonic beasts arrived at the four corners of the ocean, while Gu Yuchuan stood in the very center. Five enormous waterspouts shot into the sky, and the Dragon Gate appeared in the clouds. Gu Yuchuan transformed into his original form, and the enormous dragon, with its boundless draconic might, pressed down on their hearts, making them somewhat uncomfortable.
This dragon's might isn't the pressure of cultivation level; it comes from their bloodline. They have cultivation, but they don't possess any noble divine or spiritual bodies. Their bloodline level is just that of a very ordinary, acquired human, which is actually quite low. This pressure from their bloodline makes it a little hard for them to breathe.
"The first level of the Divine Dragon Formation: towering waves."
As his magical power surged, countless giant waves enveloped them all. They all activated their protective techniques, but the power of nature was not so easy to resist. They were swept away by the giant waves, feeling dizzy and disoriented. Many of their protective shields even dimmed and developed gaps.
Seawater flowed in through the crevice. The seawater that Gu Yuchuan was looking for in his Myriad Dragons Diagram was no ordinary water; it was made from spiritual water and carried boundless coldness. Once it touched their bodies, the power of ice would begin to invade their magic power, freeze their flesh, and cause them even greater harm.
However, only Shen Yan'an encountered this problem; the other two did not. Shen Yan'an immediately took a pill to improve his situation.
Shen Yannian knew that this formation truly possessed the ability to overcome the strong with the weak. He had to show his true skills, otherwise, he might be fine, but his two younger brothers might really be unable to hold on, and something might happen to them.
He unleashed his Five Animal Flies Fan, a weapon of extraordinary fire. His words carried a hint of gritted teeth.
"You monster, don't think that just because your magic weapon is a little more powerful and you've set up a formation, you can take down our brothers. Our strength is beyond your imagination."
The fan transformed into a divine bird in mid-air, with long tail feathers and a fiery red body, bearing a striking resemblance to the divine bird's invention. However, this invention was a bird of destruction, truly ominous, being the one among the five phoenixes that governs evil and destruction.
Gu Yuchuan didn't reply. They were already fighting like this, so there was no point in arguing anymore. It would be better to focus his energy on the battle, which might allow him to unleash even greater power.
"Second layer of the Divine Dragon Formation, the aquatic race attacks."
After he finished speaking, the Dragon Gate sank into the depths of the sea. Countless aquatic creatures flew out from the Dragon Gate, including fish, shrimp, octopuses, and even giant whales. Four demonic beasts also mingled among the aquatic creatures. Although these aquatic creatures were not particularly strong individually, they were still at the Foundation Establishment stage and above. The Golden Core stage cultivators could not completely ignore Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, so they could naturally cause a lot of trouble.
The overwhelming aquatic creatures made their hearts sink. How to destroy these aquatic creatures was indeed a big problem. After all, large-scale magic power consumption was too great, and it was difficult for them to use it within someone else's formation.
