299: Chapter 299 The Offense and Defense Styles Change, Let's Take a Look at the Final Balance

[Chu Sheng no longer defended passively.]

[He bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed his essence blood onto the zhu xian sword.]

[The Sword Qi surged.]

[The Zhu Xian Sword Formation began to rotate, and the dark golden Sword Qi transformed into countless tiny sword blades, sweeping toward Arrogance.]

[Every sword blade carried the unique killing intent of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation, sufficient to shatter a mountain Peak.]

[Arrogance snorted coldly and raised his hand to summon the sea-suppressing cauldron.]

[The bronze cauldron hovered above his head, its opening facing downward, and a bronze-colored light barrier enveloped him.]

[He intended to use Chu Sheng's cauldron to block Chu Sheng's sword.]

["You rat, your cauldron is quite handy for me to use." Arrogance's lips curled up.]

[The next moment, his smile froze.]

[The sea-suppressing cauldron vibrated violently, emitting a deafening hum.]

[The bronze-colored light barrier did not appear; instead, the body of the cauldron smashed down toward Arrogance's head.]

[Arrogance's expression changed, and he slapped the cauldron away with a palm.]

[The cauldron crashed into the wall of the sword array, creating a large crater, then fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped moving.]

[Chu Sheng's lips curled up.]

["Senior, this cauldron has already been refined by this Junior."]

[Arrogance's expression sank.]

[He had not expected that Chu Sheng would refine the sea-suppressing cauldron the very first moment he obtained it.]

[The power of the Heavenly Venerable Duobao made the refinement speed incredibly fast.]

[A flash of killing intent flickered in Arrogance's eyes.]

[He raised his scepter, and golden light condensed at its tip.]

[It was not an attack, but a Divine Ability.]

["Looking Down Upon All Things."]

[Invisible power of Law surged from his body, pressing toward the wall of the sword array.]

[He wanted to forcibly break this cage that trapped him.]

[Chu Sheng did not hesitate, and colorful light surged from within his body.]

["Endless Life."]

[Seven phantoms appeared beside him.]

[Yu Rumeng, Yue Jianli, Li Zhiyi, Lin Wanqing, Liu Qingyan, Zhou Wantang, and Qu Xiaohuan.]

[The seven phantoms struck simultaneously, seven different powers intertwining together, colliding with Arrogance's Divine Ability.]

[The two forces collided within the sword array, emitting a dull, thunderous sound.]

[The entire sword array trembled, and the snow on the snowy plains was shaken into the sky.]

[Arrogance's Divine Ability was forcibly interrupted.]

[He took a step back, looking at Chu Sheng with a flash of astonishment in his eyes.]

["Dao Completion Middle Stage... and you've achieved a Divine Ability?" His voice was somewhat hoarse.]

[Chu Sheng did not speak, simply urging the seven phantoms to press toward Arrogance.]

[Arrogance stared at the seven phantoms, his brows furrowing.]

["This is not lust. A variation of lust? It doesn't quite look like it..."]

[His gaze swept across the seven phantoms, as if trying to identify something.]

[Then he laughed, a very cold laugh.]

["No matter what it is, it is fake."]

[He raised his scepter, golden light condensing at the tip, aiming at the phantom closest to him.]

[Lin Wanqing.]

[The scepter descended, and the golden light transformed into a sharp blade, slicing Lin Wanqing's phantom in half at the waist.]

[The phantom let out a silent scream, turning into points of light and dissipating.]

[Chu Sheng's heart suddenly ached.]

[It was not the pain of the Dao Palace, nor the pain of the Dantian, but of the heart.]

[It was as if someone had carved out a piece of flesh with a knife.]

[His complexion turned pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.]

[He knew it was fake, just an illusion projected by Many Children, Many Blessings.]

[But he still felt pain.]

[The effect of the Divine Ability made it feel real; she was his Dao Companion, the mother of his children.]

[He gritted his teeth, not letting his tears fall.]

[Arrogance watched his expression, his lips curled up.]

["Fake? You look very pained."]

[He raised his scepter, aiming at another phantom, Zhou Wantang.]

[Chu Sheng's pupils constricted.]

[He knew he could not continue fighting like this.]

[Arrogance was testing his weakness, and his weakness lay within these phantoms.]

[He could not expose them to Arrogance.]

[Chu Sheng took a deep breath and retracted the remaining six phantoms.]

[The colorful light dissipated, leaving only him and Arrogance in the sword array.]

[He no longer clashed head-on with Arrogance.]

[It was too stupid.]

[He left the center of the sword array and retreated to the edge of the array wall.]

[His figure became indistinct, like a wisp of smoke, blending into the sword array.]

[Once the Zhu Xian Sword Formation was deployed, unless four experts in the Divine Ability Realm divided their forces into four paths to forcibly break the array, or their cultivation and Spiritual Qi reserves crushed Chu Sheng's, waiting for Chu Sheng's spiritual power to be exhausted.]

[Arrogance was only one person; he could not achieve the first point.]

[He could only choose the second point—waiting for Chu Sheng to be exhausted.]

[Chu Sheng sat cross-legged at the edge of the array wall and fished out a handful of Heaven And Earth Treasure from his Storage Pouch.]

[The collection of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, the treasury of Sloth, and his own savings.]

[A hundred-thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, a twelve-leaf green lotus, a Scarlet Flame Spirit Fruit, Dragon Saliva, phoenix blood vine...]

[He shoved them into his mouth handful by handful, as if chewing jellybeans.]

[The Spirit Medicine entered his stomach, transforming into pure spiritual power that surged into his Dantian.]

[His cultivation was slowly recovering, and the light of the sword array brightened once again.]

["You rat, how long do you think you can hold on?"]

[Chu Sheng chewed the Spirit Medicine and said vaguely.]

["Until you die."]

[Arrogance did not speak, raising his scepter and blasting it toward the array wall.]

[The sword array vibrated, but it did not break.]

[A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Chu Sheng's mouth, but he ignored it and shoved another handful of Spirit Medicine into his mouth.]

[The two of them just kept wearing each other down.]

[One blasting the array, one eating medicine.]

[The wind and snow on the snowy plains grew heavier, but the two in the sword array remained motionless.]

[Arrogance's expression grew increasingly ugly.]

[He had not expected Chu Sheng to have so many savings.]

[Those Spirit Medicine, every single stalk was worth a fortune, yet Chu Sheng was shoving them into his mouth as if they were free.]

[His spiritual power was being consumed rapidly, while Chu Sheng's spiritual power was slowly recovering.]

[With one declining and the other growing, he might lose.]

[A flash of unwillingness flickered in Arrogance's eyes.]

[He, a dignified Demon Lord, had actually been forced to such a state by a rat.]

[He gritted his teeth, pushing the light on his scepter to the extreme.]

[The sword array vibrated again; this time, cracks appeared.]

[Chu Sheng's expression changed, but he did not panic.]

[He fished a golden Medicinal Pill from his Storage Pouch and shoved it into his mouth.]

[That was a Tier 9 Medicinal Pill left behind by the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, capable of instantly restoring all spiritual power.]

[Chu Sheng's spiritual power instantly returned to its Peak.]

[He began to fully urge the offensive of the sword array, and Arrogance began to fully defend.]

[Now, the roles of attacker and defender had reversed.]

[As long as the sword array functioned normally and his own recovery was sufficient, Arrogance would sooner or later exhaust his strength, and when that time came...]

[Heh heh, Arrogance, it is time to settle the old score from the last simulation.]
