Chapter 1692: Chapter 5: Great Divine Power, Mastered! Collapse and Breakthrough!

After meeting Wu Tian, his Treasure Mountain Divine Ability neared perfection. Pressed under the Five-Finger Mountain for five hundred years, these nine layers of treasure light were personally tempered and brought forth by Wu Tian.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s impervious to all methods. To break through it? At the very least, you’d need a Great Divine Power spell.

The troublesome thing lies in ’Void Solidification’, the suppression of Boundary Origin Mountain, along with the inherent pressure of Heavy Water River.

These three factors greatly reduced Zhao Xing’s speed of movement, to the point where he couldn’t even jump out of Heavy Water River.

"Under the suppression of his Boundary Origin Mountain, I couldn’t even open my Origin Projection, unable to release the Giant Sun Grassman or deploy the Mushroom Soldiers," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Compared to the geniuses of the Red Star Empire, Zhao Xing’s dojo was at a disadvantage. The Self-Root Sect’s Technique in the ’Primordial Sea Realm’ was far less profound than the esoterics trained by the geniuses of the Red Star Empire.

Zhao Xing always knew this was his weak point, but during those ninety-seven years of training, he made choices, opting to cultivate the Giant Sun, Five-Finger Mountain, and Ti Yuan Divine Power.

"Let’s first try to use the Will Divine Power to influence." Zhao Xing suddenly looked up, and a blood-red blade appeared in his enormous pupils.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~" The blood-red blade flashed in and out of view, appearing instantly in Hongtian’s mind.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

In Hongtian’s mind, countless wailing voices rang out at once.

For a moment, Hongtian was dazed; he saw countless chaotic spirits from the Ghost Race crawling out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, invading his mind.

"This is his Will Divine Power... Why have I never seen such a thing?"

Hong Guang felt a hint of fear along with some curiosity.

So many howling turtles? This kind of mental vision was a first for him!

"Plant a Heart Field, protect me for millions of years!"

At the instant Zhao Xing attacked, Hong Guang was affected; the Cloud-climbing Vine’s movements became sluggish, and even the might of Boundary Origin Mountain diminished.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

"This is the Heart Field Skill. Although it’s two levels below my Will Divine Power, I cannot completely break through his spiritual defense." Reflected in Zhao Xing’s eyes was a vast green field.

Layer upon layer of fields conveyed a natural, tranquil feeling that reduced Zhao Xing’s intent to kill.

"Hong Guang, you can’t eliminate me, give up!" Zhao Xing yelled.

"Give up?!" Hong Guang’s eyes flashed with madness. "Without special plants, I can’t escape the collapse. How could I give up?"

"Die!"

Suddenly, Hong Guang’s chest split open as if a blood-colored nebula was swirling inside.

Then, the Cloud-climbing Vine went berserk, its attack intensity skyrocketing!

"Zing zing zing zing zing zing zing~" The Life Blood Thorns’ attack strength broke through the eighth layer of treasure light.

Meanwhile, the confinement power of void solidification and the force of Boundary Origin Mountain also greatly intensified.

"Life Dao trace!" Zhao Xing understood that not only had this person’s Origin Space controlled the Five Elements Path, but it had also started mastering a wisp of Life Dao trace.

Simply put, this is the ’Tao trait’ of the Origin Space, which can grant a certain extent of amplification to soldiers.

Zhao Xing’s seven Tao traces were all planted on the Mushroom Soldier, and he himself hadn’t mastered them, showing a gap in comprehension on the Self Path compared to his opponent.

"Ssss ssss ssss ssss~"

The Treasure Mountain Divine Ability swayed precariously as the light grew weaker and weaker.

The tentacles of the Cloud-climbing Vine became more frenzied, forming a world of tentacles, completely surrounding Zhao Xing.

"Why won’t this exhaust him?" Hong Guang was a bit shocked.

"I’ve already used ’Life Burn’. This wisp of Dao trace I’ve mastered can instantly push a soldier’s combat strength beyond its limits."

"And yet, I still can’t break his last layer of treasure light?"

"What kind of divine ability is this?!"

Hong Guang really wanted to curse at this moment.

"With such strong Mountain Techniques, why not pursue the path of a Martial Artist? Why walk the Sinong Dao!"

Zhao Xing was also quite frustrated; he had just subdued a special soldier type, at his weakest, and had to encounter Hong Guang.

The man couldn’t break through his defense but insisted on exhausting him!

"Damn it!" Zhao Xing’s Heart Fire surged forth endlessly, anger pounding in his sea of consciousness.

"It’s one thing to be oppressed by a big shot like Wu Tian, but can you, a small Origin Realm, stand above me!!"

The nine layers of treasure light around Zhao Xing grew increasingly dazzling under this extreme pressure.

He slowly lifted his hand over his head.

"Boom~~"

The ground began to tremble, and the entire Heavy Water River churned.

Hong Guang discovered that the heavy water around Zhao Xing was receding completely, revealing the bare riverbed.

"What?" Hong Guang sensed something was wrong—this was definitely not the result of his Boundary Origin Mountain’s Daos suppressions.

That leaves only one possibility!

"Could it be..."

... 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Inside an ancient and simple wooden cabin at Erliang Slope.

Wu Tian was meditating by the green lamp.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a slight smile appearing.

"To grasp it in less than eight hundred years, truly remarkable."

"This world finally has a third person who knows the Five-Finger Mountain, so I’m not alone."

...

Boom~

The waters downstream of Heavy Water River flowed rapidly away, while the upstream waters turned back, surging towards Hong Guang.

The exposed riverbed rose higher and higher as boundless earth energy ascended, converging around Zhao Xing’s hand.

The nine layers of treasure light on Zhao Xing suddenly contracted within him.

Under the pressure of elimination, the Five-Finger Mountain he’d arduously trained for many years finally broke through!

"Could it be... did he master a Great Divine Power under my pressure?"

"Impossible!"

Even as he spoke of impossibility, Hong Guang’s body began retreating.

Because Zhao Xing’s physique had now reached an astonishing ’five poles.’

His eyes were half-closed, with all killing intent vanished, leaving instead a peaceful aura.
