Chapter 1020: Useless Thing!
"Boom~!"
Visible to the naked eye, after being weakened by the divine ability Withering, the golden and purple streaks of spiritual light were already evenly matched.
Even after unleashing a Pure Yang True Treasure, Thunderstorm True Lord still could not gain the upper hand, and he was beginning to show signs of having exhausted his tricks.
When he made his moves, he no longer dared to be as aggressive as at the beginning, and instead turned to a more conservative and cautious style.
On Liu Yu's side, he firmly suppressed his opponent. Since the other party was holding back, the situation temporarily fell into a stalemate.
"Cling~"
"Dong~"
"Rumble~"
Successive roars rang out without pause throughout the Fourth Gale Layer. The duel of magic among the six had already entered a feverish stage.
Moreover, the intensity of the duel was still rising. Their exchanges grew increasingly fierce, and in such circumstances, a single mistake could result in either side losing a member.
However, those who could reach the peak yuan ying realm were all battle-hardened figures. Basic blunders of that sort would not happen easily.
The power fluctuations from the six-man duel made all the true lords extremely wary; even great cultivators found it very difficult to intervene.
So, unknowingly, the true lords on both sides gradually moved away from the battlefield.
After all, peak true lords were far beyond ordinary true lords. Perhaps in ancient times or middle antiquity, they would already have broken through to divine transformation.
At this level of duel of magic, even being caught in the aftermath could be fatal if one could not flee out of the yuan ying in time.
Liu Yu faced Thunderstorm True Lord, Primordial Master faced Yulin True Lord, and Blood Sea Demon Lord faced Crimson Lizard Demon Lord.
After the cultivators on both sides moved away, whether intentionally or not, the three battlefields drew closer and closer, showing signs of developing into a chaotic six-way melee.
With Liu Yu holding back somewhat, none of the six could take down the other for the time being, and the situation entered a deadlock.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged continuously, while time quietly slipped away amid the intense duel.
The sun rose and set. The six fought from dawn to dusk, then from dusk to dawn. In the blink of an eye, a full day had passed.
"Peng~"
A golden spear pierced the sky. It had just shattered one blue fire pillar when, in the next moment, it was smashed apart by another fire pillar that arrived in quick succession.
"Ding ding~"
The sharp, grating sound of metal rang across the battlefield. The golden-red spear and the golden-yellow seal continued to collide, neither able to do anything to the other.
Because the duel was so intense, the power of both true treasures had dropped considerably compared to the beginning, and both were covered in scars of varying depth. Afterward, they would require quite a bit of energy to recover.
"Wa~"
"Pa~"
The golden crow cried out, and purple lightning exploded.
The three-zhang divine bird and the purple spear, one golden and one purple, continuously collided. Their might had already surpassed the fourth stage, yet they remained locked in a stalemate.
Overall, after using the divine ability Withering, Liu Yu firmly held the upper hand, attacking more and defending less, and had seized the initiative in the duel of magic.
Thunderstorm's defense was airtight, but he had already fallen into a passive position.
This divine ability, Withering, had already shown impressive effects when Liu Yu was at the golden core realm. Now that he was at the yuan ying realm, it was even more unstoppable; the higher the realm, the greater its effect.
Although both sides were of the same cultivation level, if one side was weakened by ten percent of its strength by Withering, that was enough to change the direction of the battle.
Under such circumstances, even though Thunderstorm used every method available and occasionally erupted with an especially powerful trump card, he still remained firmly suppressed.
