“Is this the power of a dharma manifestation?”
As he noticed this scene, the expression of the fighting Huangmei True Lord also showed a hint of shock, feeling astounded.
He had long anticipated that Liu Yu might be hiding his strength and that after breaking through his realm, his power would see a significant enhancement.
However, he never imagined that the increase would be so immense!
“If only back then, I wasn't so eager to break through the golden core bottleneck and had solidified my foundation for a bit longer.”
“Perhaps I could have had the chance to challenge the ninth-grade golden core, and then condense a dharma manifestation to soar high.”
Huangmei sighed inwardly.
In today's cultivation world, those who could cultivate to the yuan ying realm surely had extraordinary abilities, including but not limited to their background, aptitude, opportunities, and so on.
Looking at the true lords in Tian Nan, there were quite a few with heavenly spirit root aptitude, and Huangmei himself was a soil-type heavenly spirit root cultivator.
His aptitude was decent, and his cultivation journey had been relatively smooth.
But back then, being young and impetuous, due to the rapid cultivation speed of the heavenly spirit root, he reached the peak foundation establishment realm far too early.
He hastily solidified his foundation, prepared various spiritual objects, and then launched an assault on the golden core bottleneck.
The final result was naturally a success.
However, because his foundation establishment cultivation was not perfect, he ultimately missed the ninth-grade golden core, only condensing a seventh-grade golden core.
At the time of forming the baby, he was unable to condense a dharma manifestation, losing the opportunity to soar high.
Observing Liu Yu at this moment, recalling his mistakes from youth, Huangmei felt nothing but regret.
...
Regardless of the thoughts of the crowd, within the fourth gale layer, Liu Yu's confrontation with Nangong Tian and the frost and snow dual immortals continued.
“Boom!!!”
“The star cloud flickered” expanded to ten miles but could not continue, as if ten miles was a critical point where the enemy’s attacks could not reach, and Liu Yu's attacks could not escape.
Within and outside the ten-mile radius surged genuine fourth-tier high-quality might, making ordinary true lords change color in fear.
A golden core cultivator caught within would instantly turn to dust!
However, despite withstanding the enemy’s attacks, Liu Yu was still at a disadvantage overall, making it difficult to take the initiative in such a situation.
Maintaining this high-intensity “star cloud flicker,” it was challenging for him to employ other tactics.
Even if he used other methods, the star cloud flicker would surely be affected, leading to a significant decrease in power, so at present, this was his best state.
After all, Liu Yu had only reached the mid-stage of his realm, relying on “Qingyang Nebula” to exert late-stage combat power was already quite a feat.
Naturally, he could only rely on a broad approach and could not achieve many fine controls.
Nangong Tian and the frost and snow dual immortals were ultimately two great cultivators; when he cast “Qingyang Nebula” and enhanced it with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it was only slightly superior to Nangong Tian.
He could overpower any one of them, but the collaboration of Nangong Tian and the frost and snow dual immortals could temporarily suppress Liu Yu.
“This won't do.”
After a stalemate for two breaths, feeling the rapidly depleting magical power, Liu Yu flashed this thought.
The nebula body could greatly enhance strength, but it was not without its cost, leading to a drastic increase in magical power consumption.
When he cast “Qingyang Nebula,” the rate of magical power consumption was already several times that of his normal state.
Moreover, at this moment, facing two enemies, his magical power flowed out like a breached dam.
