Chapter 199 Verification Begins! Can it withstand a Sun-level attack?!

Now that five Eclipse Moon Rank Experts of different attributes had been gathered.

Jiang Yun wasted no more time.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—five distinct colors and vastly different attributes of equally majestic and vast Eclipsing Moon Rank Law Auras stood like five pillars supporting the heavens above the Wanjian Heavenly Altar, highlighting the mysterious brilliance of the cluster of Five-Colored Divine Light in the center.

Shi Potian's heavy earthy yellow, Qian Guangquan's blazing crimson, Yun Xi's sharp silver-white, Old Man Huang Mu's vibrant green, and Fairy Liu Lan's deep azure.

Five top-tier experts, who were usually as elusive as divine dragons, had appeared together at the word of a sixteen years old youth to jointly inject their Divine Power!

This scene was Rare in a hundred years.

It was enough to be recorded in the annals of S Province!

Jiang Yun stood at the center of the storm.

His black robes fluttered, yet he remained as steady as a rock.

He spoke no more.

Facing the direction of the five experts.

He cupped his hands and said loudly, "Seniors, please follow what this Junior described earlier and steadily inject your respective pure Five Elements Law power into this divine seed!"

"Haha, sounds good! Watch me!"

Shi Potian had the most impatient temperament. Hearing this, he laughed loudly and pressed his fan-like hand against the void. That mountain-heavy earthy-yellow Law torrent took the lead, transforming into a solid yellow light that surged toward the floating five-colored origin divine seed as steadily and swiftly as an earth dragon returning to its nest.

Immediately after.

Qian Guangquan, Yun Xi, Old Man Huang Mu, and Fairy Liu Lan also moved almost simultaneously.

A crimson fire line, silver-white metal glow, vibrant green wood Qi, and deep azure water light—four equally pure and powerful Law forces tore through the void from different directions, accurately converging on that point of Chaos.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Under the injection of the five Eclipsing Moon Rank powers, the Five-Colored Divine Light suddenly trembled violently!

The originally flowing and slightly restrained brilliance suddenly became incomparably dazzling!

Green, crimson, yellow, white, and black lights expanded crazily, intertwining, colliding, and fusing with each other, emitting a grand hum like the beginning of heaven and earth!

The entire Wanjian Heavenly Altar was shrouded in this magnificent and terrifying sight.

Violent aftershocks of Five Elements energy spread in all directions, forcing the people in the front rows of the audience to retreat involuntarily, their faces filled with horror.

If not for the Wanjian Heavenly Altar itself being protected by an ancient Formation, these energy aftershocks alone would have been enough to injure low-level Beast Tamers.

"My god! It's too spectacular!"

"Is this the power of Eclipsing Moon Rank experts? So terrifying!"

"That divine seed is even more terrifying! To endure the power injection of five Eclipsing Moon Ranks and show no signs of collapsing!"

"Truly extraordinary! Great Master Dong Xuan was right; if it were an ordinary Eclipsing Moon Rank treasure, it would likely have developed cracks long ago, unable to withstand such a diverse and powerful impact!"

"A divine object! It's definitely a divine object! Now we just wait for it to display that Five Elements Protection!"

Everyone held their breath.

Their eyes widened.

Staring fixedly at the center of the field.

Steward Li, Steward Wang, and the other stewards clenched their fists, sweat beads forming on their foreheads; they were even more nervous than Jiang Yun.

In the corner, Su Qingxue's enchanting eyes now held only that increasingly bright Five-Colored Divine Light and the Five Elements Origin Aura within it that made her Bloodline throb.

"Can it hold? In what form will the protection ability manifest?"

Her heart was full of anticipation.

Jiang Yun was also observing with full concentration.

Although he knew the result through the data entries, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Witnessing the activation of this Five Elements Protection now still made his heart race.

The five Law torrents continued to be injected.

The Five-Colored Divine Light grew brighter and brighter.

Eventually, it reached a critical point.

Buzz!!!!

An even higher and clearer ringing suddenly emanated from the core of the divine seed!

The next moment.

The Five-Colored Divine Light, which had been crazily absorbing energy, suddenly stalled, and then a soft but incredibly resilient five-colored halo burst outward!

This halo was like a perfect eggshell, enveloping the divine seed's body, and the five external Law torrents were actually pushed away softly but firmly by this suddenly appearing halo!

It wasn't a forced cut-off, but rather like water encountering a smooth barrier, naturally sliding to the sides, unable to penetrate even a fraction further.

Shi Potian and the others sensed their power being blocked and withdrew their hands at the same time, glancing at each other with a hint of astonishment in their eyes.

"Is this... energy full?"

Shi Potian looked at Jiang Yun in confusion.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly.

His voice beneath the mask carried a hint of confirmation.

"Thank you, Seniors. The energy is full, and the Five Elements cyclic protection has been activated; it is currently in a standby state."

When the crowd heard this.

They were first stunned.

Then an even more heated discussion broke out.

"Energy is full? What does that mean?"

"The protection is activated? But... where is the protection? Is it just that halo?"

"It doesn't look like anything special. How do we test its defensive power?"

"Great Master Dong Xuan, tell us quickly how to test it!"

Everyone was incredibly expectant.

Gu He and Vice Dean Yan Song were in the crowd, their faces still looking terrible, but seeing that it was just a soft halo, a bit of luck and doubt grew in their hearts again.

How strong could the defense of such a halo, which looked like it would break with a single poke, possibly be?

The Sect Leader of the War Beast Sect, Shi Potian, was the most straightforward.

He asked directly in a booming voice, "Little friend Dong Xuan, this halo is the protection? It looks pretty, but how do we test if it's sturdy? We can't just stand here staring at it, can we?"

Jiang Yun faced the five experts and the puzzled gazes of the entire audience, speaking calmly and uttering the sentence that made everyone's hearts stop.

"The method of testing is very simple."

"Attack it."

"If this Junior's appraisal is correct, this layer of Five Elements cyclic protection should be able to withstand a frontal assault and trigger itself!"

He paused and spoke clearly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it can withstand a full-strength strike from a radiant Sun-Level expert."

"Or... five to six consecutive full-strength attacks from existences like the five Eclipsing Moon Rank Seniors."

As Jiang Yun's words fell.

Silence!

A deathly silence.

After a few breaths.

"Whoosh!!!!!!"

A wave of sound ten times more violent than any before completely exploded!

"What?! A radiant Sun-Level strike?!"

"Withstand five or six full-strength attacks from an Eclipsing Moon Rank?!"

"My god! There should be a limit to bragging!"

"Radiant Sun-Level! That's a Legendary existence! A single strike is enough to crumble mountains and sever rivers, destroying a city! Can this thin halo block that?"

"The full-strength attacks of Eclipsing Moon Rank experts must also be incredibly terrifying! Five or six times in a row? How is that possible?!"

Doubts, shock, disbelief, and feelings of absolute absurdity swept through the entire Wanjian Heavenly Altar like a tsunami.

Even the audience members and Appraisers who had begun to believe in Jiang Yun felt that his words were too outrageous this time!

Sun-Level was a Realm that surpassed Eclipsing Moon Rank and stood at the pinnacle of the provincial capital's Beast Tamers; they were supreme existences even in S Province!

It was unknown if such powerful beings even existed in S Province.

Their power was simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

In the corner, Su Qingxue's delicate body also trembled slightly, and for the first time, an expression of extreme shock appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Withstand... a radiant Sun-Level strike?"

As the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress, her fox tribe naturally had Sun-Level experts; those were already at the level of the tribe's Old Ancestors, and they indeed possessed power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

If this treasure really had such defensive power... its value would be simply immeasurable!

This wasn't just a life-saving trump card; at certain critical moments, it could even turn the tide of battle!

And the activation conditions were practically tailor-made for her.

Her gaze toward the five-colored divine seed.

Became so hot it almost seemed to burn.

On the floating platform.

The reactions of the big shots were even more intriguing.

Shi Potian stroked his needle-like beard, his large bell-like eyes filled with wonder and deep disbelief.

"What? Block me hitting it with full strength five or six times? And block a radiant Sun-Level strike? Kid, you're bragging so much that even I'm having a hard time keeping up!"

Qian Guangquan's brow furrowed slightly.

"A radiant Sun-Level strike... Little friend Dong Xuan, is this statement a bit... too absolute?"

Although he recognized Jiang Yun's appraisal ability, the assertion of blocking a radiant Sun-Level strike was truly too sensational, completely overturning his understanding of a treasure's defensive power.

An Origin treasure that touched the Sun-Level might have extremely strong defense, but he held serious doubts about whether it could reach the level of blocking a full-strength strike of the same rank.

An inexplicable light flashed in President Yun Xi's deep eyes, but he did not directly voice his doubts.

No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Old Man Huang Mu and Fairy Liu Lan glanced at each other, both seeing surprise and doubt in the other's eyes.

As experts from Hidden Families, they were widely experienced, but they had never heard of any protection that could explicitly claim to block a full-strength radiant Sun-Level strike.

This had already surpassed the category of being powerful.

It was almost like a rule.

And Gu He and Vice Dean Yan Song, who had just been slapped in the face and were full of suppressed anger, seemed to have finally caught a last straw. They instantly revitalized, jumping higher than anyone else!

Great Master Gu He's face was once again covered with that expression of mixed mockery, anger, and the excitement of finally catching a flaw. He pointed at Jiang Yun, his voice shrill and piercing with agitation.

"Arrogant! Ignorant! Such boastful talk is appalling! Dong Xuan, do you know what kind of existence a Sun-Level Beast Tamer is?! They are supreme experts who can command Laws with every gesture, whose single strike can reroute rivers and mountains and annihilate cities! Even the aftershocks of their casual strikes are not something an Eclipsing Moon Rank can easily withstand! You dare to claim that this mere halo can block their full-strength strike? It's simply the biggest joke in the world! A frog at the bottom of a well, how could you know the vastness of heaven and earth!"

Great Master Vice Dean Yan Song also swept away his previous dejection.

He scolded righteously.

"And withstanding five or six full-strength attacks from an Eclipsing Moon Rank? Simply absurd! Which Eclipsing Moon Rank expert hasn't gone through a thousand refinements, mastered Laws, and possesses heaven-shaking combat power? A casual strike can destroy mountains and Peaks! The cumulative power of five or six consecutive full-strength attacks is enough to level this Wanjian Heavenly Altar! What right does your halo have? Dong Xuan, to pass the assessment and inflate the value of your appraised item, you dare to talk so loosely and fabricate such a shocking lie! Are you treating all the heroes of the world as fools? Your intentions are damnable!"

The words of the two.

Once again incited the emotions of a group of people.

Many who already felt it was inconceivable nodded one after another, feeling that the two Great Masters were right this time.

This description of defensive power was truly too outrageous.

It exceeded common sense.

Facing Gu He and Vice Dean Yan Song's repeated jumping and sharp accusations, Jiang Yun's always calm gaze finally, for the first time, swept in their direction with a clear hint of coldness.

He didn't shout angrily.

Nor did he argue excitedly.

He only used that voice, which through the mask remained steady yet seemed to carry shards of ice.

"The Dao of appraisal values seeking the truth. What this Junior has said is based on what I have seen and felt, not on loose conjecture."

"Since you two Great Masters consider yourselves as such, you should know that the unknown does not mean non-existent, and the unseen does not mean impossible."

"Those who look at the sky from the bottom of a well often have the loudest voices, yet are the most laughable. Truth never changes because of noise; it only manifests through empirical evidence."

"Instead of wasting your breath here and questioning everything, why not... wait and see."

These words were calm in tone and elegant in phrasing, yet every word was like a knife, accurately stabbing into the sore spots of Gu He and Vice Dean Yan Song!

"Looking at the sky from the bottom of a well?"

"Noisy and laughable?"

"Wasting breath?"

...Every word was like a loud slap across their old faces, faces that claimed authority but were actually stuck in their ways!

"You... you!"

Gu He was so angry his whole body trembled. He pointed at Jiang Yun, his old face turning red like pig liver, but he was momentarily choked up and couldn't say a complete sentence.

As a High-Grade Third Tier Peak Appraiser.

He enjoyed a very high status in the provincial capital.

When had he ever suffered such merciless ridicule from a Junior?

Vice Dean Yan Song's chest was also heaving violently, and he felt a metallic taste in his throat, nearly spitting blood from anger.

Jiang Yun's words.

Not only refuted their doubts but also directly labeled them as ignorant, noisy clowns who looked at the sky from a well!

This was even harder for them to endure than being directly cursed at!

"Hahaha! Well said!"

Shi Potian's loud laughter broke the awkward and gunpowder-filled atmosphere.

He looked at Jiang Yun with great interest.

"Kid, you've got spirit! I like it! Talk is cheap; let's see what you've really got!"

He rubbed his hands together, Battle Intent rising in his eyes.

"Since you say it can block five or six of my full-strength attacks, then I'll try this first one! Let's see if it's really that sturdy!"

Before his voice had even faded.

Shi Potian didn't give anyone time to react. His personality was naturally bold and unrestrained; if he said he'd do it, he'd do it!

"Roar—!"

A phantom roar that seemed to come from a prehistoric behemoth condensed behind him!

Although he hadn't summoned his life-bound war beast's physical form, the terrifying Laws and power belonging to an Eclipsing Moon Rank war beast had already been perfectly condensed into this strike through the contract's empowerment!

The muscles on his right arm bulged.

Earthy-yellow light instantly condensed into a giant beast claw phantom that looked like it could crush a mountain. With a terrifying momentum that could crush everything, it swung down without any frills, landing solidly against the soft halo enveloping the five-colored divine seed!

This strike.

Although he didn't use his full strength.

Shi Potian didn't hold back much either!

If he was going to verify it, he was going to do it for real!

How terrifying was the full-strength strike of an Eclipsing Moon Rank expert?

Before the beast claw even arrived, the surging wind and pressure, as solid as substance, had already caused the air in front to emit an overburdened explosion!

People sitting closer in the audience, even with the Formation blocking, felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on them. Their breathing stopped, and their faces turned pale!

On the floating platform.

Patriarch Feng Xiao's expression changed slightly.

"This guy! He's too reckless!"

Qian Guangquan, Yun Xi, and the others also instantly focused their attention.

Old Man Huang Mu and Fairy Liu Lan's gazes sharpened even more.

They completely didn't expect the Sect Leader of the War Beast Sect to suddenly take action.

Around the Wanjian Heavenly Altar, the ancient guardian Formation sensed this terrifying attack that was enough to threaten the venue itself and activated autonomously!

Mysterious runes rapidly lit up in the void and on the ground, forming layers of light screens that firmly protected the audience.

And at the very core of the attack was that cluster of Five-Colored Divine Light and the seemingly weak halo outside it.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Their hearts were in their throats!

Gu He and Vice Dean Yan Song, despite being half-dead from Jiang Yun's anger, were now staring fixedly at the point of impact, screaming frantically in their hearts.

"Shatter! Shatter for me! It must shatter!"

Su Qingxue held her breath.

Qian Rongrong covered her small mouth.

Jiang Yun's gaze behind the mask watched calmly.

He was extremely composed.

After all, his talent had never been wrong.

Shi Potian's terrifying beast claw phantom, which could split mountains and crack rocks, tore through the air and, with an Aura that could annihilate everything, slammed heavily onto that thin guardian halo flowing with five-colored brilliance.
