Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme - Chapter 907

Chapter 907: Chapter 560: Divine Fire

“`

“What is this…?”

“One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!”

The crowd was astonished, speechless, when someone recognized the origin of the feat – it was none other than the Brahma Fire God, Agi Ni.

His expression was one of shock, his eyes displayed both surprise and anger, but they soon returned to calm as he expressed his admiration to Xu Yang, “I did not expect that you, Taoist, would have cultivated such divine power!”

In his words, there was admiration, but also an inexplicable sense of relaxation, even a feeling of having been relieved of a burden.

Admiration for the divine power itself, relaxation too because of the divine power.

This might sound contradictory, but in reality, it was not a conflict, for Agi Ni was very clear that his opponent had dared to accept this battle, challenging the five directions alone and making the bold declaration, “If this formation breaks, I will close my temple and retreat.” This indicated without doubt that he had something to rely on.

This reliance was the key to the battle situation, making Agi Ni cautious and vigilant the whole time, not daring to let his guard down even slightly.

But now, he could relax a little.

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?

Indeed, it is a grand art of Taoism and an ultimate divine power, even he, the Brahma Fire God, had long heard of its name.

But there is one flaw in this divine power, not quite a defect but a limitation: as an art of division, the combat power of the split incarnations nearly never surpasses the original.

The One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones is no exception. Upon reaching a certain cultivation level, one can divide one’s Taoist results, creating one to three avatars, each with varying strengths, but at best, they will match the original in power and cannot surpass it.

An example from ten thousand years ago would be the Sword Duel at E’mei. The Mystic Heaven Sword Master, Ren Bai Mei, was a rare genius of his time, but even with years of dedicated cultivation, he managed to attain only “One Qi and Two Transformations,” barely completing the “Three Pure Ones” together with his original form; such talent was rarely seen, then and now.

Now look at the Mingxiao Observatory Master, who acquired this divine power merely ten thousand years ago, yet has cultivated it to the stage of “One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.” This cannot be explained simply by prodigious talent; it would have required the favor of the Heavenly Dao, the addition of a tribulation fortune, and the help of billions of merits.

Even so, he cannot change the characteristics of this kind of dividing divine power. The three avatars he has created at most are on par with his true self and cannot surpass it.

This is the reason why Agi Ni feels a burden has been lifted!

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones?

Certainly powerful, but the trouble is, this Master of the Mingxiao Observatory, whose cultivation has only reached the Six Stages of Calamity Realm, has not yet completed the Nine Tribulations to achieve True Immortal status. He only contends with True Immortals by relying on the Innate Five Elements Great Formation, the Heavenly Crafts Natural Creation Skill, and the strength of his Mecha and numerous tools.

The three avatars that he now has are probably comparable in cultivation to his true self, but not in combat power, for there is only one Great Array of the Five Elements and, most likely, only one of the legendary “Five Elements Immortal Venerable” mechas.

So… the advantage is still mine!

Even if this person achieves One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, he will still not have the upper hand before the Five True Gods. Instead, it only settles the situation.

Agi Ni calmed down and returned to his steady stance, the Fire God Staff ready at his side, alert for any sudden move from the man before him.

He was confident in blocking the man’s original form from achieving anything significant; the other Four True Gods, facing the three avatars, should be able to maintain the advantage, perhaps even gain some achievement.

As long as they could hold on until the person’s divine power waned or the Five Elements Formation was shattered, then they would be the victors of the battle.

Agi Ni composed his plan in his mind, focusing solely on defense, revealing no openings.

Xu Yang sat on the clouds, his expression serene and composed.

And so…

“Roar!!!”

Inside the East Gate, amidst the formation, the Azure Dragon roared, intent on seizing the Treasure Banner and breaking through the East Gate Formation.

But unexpectedly, a figure on a white steed arrived, brandishing his sword, and immediately the Treasure Banner vibrated, shining brilliantly, the pressure of the formation intensified, causing the Azure Dragon to recoil and shout in shocked anger, “Who are you?”

“Ha!”

The Taoist man laughed, the Sword Formation’s combined power amplifying, “I am the Shangqing Taoist!”

With those words, a sword thrust launched divine light, the formation’s movements followed suit, the Power of the Five Elements thrived through generative and overcoming cycles. Within the formation of life, deathly energy began to spread, green wood ignited into red lotus flames, the red lotus smelted into golden light, and the creation formation unveiled a ferocious, lethal aspect, inverting the Five Elements, reversing Yin and Yang.

“Shangqing Taoist?”

“One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones!”

“Damn!!!”

As a cultivator of the Mysterious Gate and a True Immortal of the Dragon Clan, the Green Lord needed only a moment of thought to recognize his opponent’s origin.

But knowing or not knowing, it made no difference to the situation; feeling the change in the formation, the Green Lord was helpless and could only unleash his divine power. A stream of green light erupted, revealing a pearl within it, also of a green hue, radiating boundless vitality to resist the pressure of the formation.

The Ninth Order Immortal Treasure–Elder Dragon Pearl!

One wielded the sword and held the banner, the formation lending its strength.

The other, a dragon engaging with a pearl, bolstering its foundation.

In such a fierce battle, it was, for the moment, a stalemate.

On the other side…

Within the West Gate, amidst the formation, the Six-headed Child brandished his spear in a fierce fight. His body emitted a golden radiance, aiming to tear apart the bland light and take down the Cloud Realm Banner.

It was the Brahman War God–Sai Jianyuo!

Those not from the Brahman Sect may not know much about him. He is not just the son of the Lord of Brah and the Destroyer Shiva, but also the son of the Brahman Black Mother and the Snow God Goddess.

This Snow God Goddess, with her fierce aspect, is the first fierce deity of the Brahman Sect, and in concert with the Lord of Destruction Shiva, gave birth to Sai Jianyuo.

With such lineage, the strength of this Brahman War God can be imagined–certainly one of the most powerful among true gods, almost reaching the status akin to an “Earth God.”

We saw him wielding a golden spear, all six of his heads showing wrathful expressions, his body as if cast from gold, now shining like a Great Sun, dominating above the Treasure Banner. Every strike was capable of shattering numerous glimmers of light.

At that moment, another on a galloping steed arrived, the Immortal Sword emitting divine light, causing the Treasure Banner to tremble, shining brightly, overshadowing that splendid golden light, and an immense murderous intent surged out, as Sword Qi swept across, divine light wreaking havoc.

“Hmm!?”

Even Sai Jianyuo, strong as he was, showed a slight change in expression, holding his golden spear in defense, his eyes coldly surveying the newcomer: “Who are you?”

“Ha!”
