Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 278 Kyushu Heavy Armor, Ascension to the Spirit World

"How could it come so quickly?" Gu Xi looked surprised and suspicious.

Said to Wei Zhong:

"Friend Jie, please quickly find a place to hide from this beast. I need to return to the defense city immediately..."

"Fellow Daoist Gu, just go with peace of mind. I will be safe and sound."

Seeing the other party leaving in a hurry, Wei Zhong also returned to the interior of Lingshan and found the main flag of the formation.

He danced with seals in his hands and struck into the cloud and mist formation above Lingshan Mountain. After a while, the cloud and mist formation above Lingshan Mountain gradually disappeared.

"The Xuanxu Seven Illusions Formation is naturally based on the word illusion."

From the outside, it seems that most of the sacred mountain has disappeared, and what remains here is just an ordinary mountain forest.

Wei Zhong returned to the swimming pool, lay on a chair, and looked at the outside world leisurely.

"There's probably no better place to watch this battle than here, right?"

Without forgetting to take out spiritual wine and tea from the Demon Abyss Palace, Wei Zhong saw a big bird flying out from the green forest not far away.

Its entire body is covered with scales, which sparkle brightly under the sunlight.

"After being promoted to the fifth level, you lost your feathers?"

Wei Zhong could only see a few feathers on the head of the big bird.

It is extremely similar to the feather that was cut off by Wei Zhong, so it must have come from this bird.

"Almost mid-level fifth rank, proficient in wind system, or rather possessing wind system magical powers. In terms of strength, he is also a leader among his peers.

"It all depends on how the people of Kyushu respond."

Watching from a distance, the big bird had no idea where Wei Zhong was hiding, and rushed straight towards the Zhonghu Defense City.

The protective aura of the formation above the city became more and more dazzling, and the green spiritual plants continued to grow along the outer aura until they covered half of the city.

This fifth-level spiritual bird hit it with one blow.

"Boom!"

The physical strength of the fifth-level monster was extraordinary, and the entire defensive city seemed to be shaken. The city trembled for a few moments, and countless cracks appeared on the ground.

The most terrifying thing was that the light of the outer formation flickered several times, as if it was about to go out.

"This bird is not simple!"

Han Zhan flew to the core of the city and injected a huge amount of water spiritual power into the formation, thus stabilizing it.

A silver-white crystal flew out in front of Jiang Liyong, and a beam of light followed the guidance and rushed towards the big bird outside the formation.

However, before the spirit-gathering cannon, which was as powerful as a divine attack, arrived, the fifth-order bird spread its huge wings and left the spot as if it had teleported.

Get rid of the cannon lock and arrive directly above the city.

Then it swooped down, and its brown claws smashed down and directly pierced into the defensive aura of the formation.

Cracks spread out from the breach, as if the formation guarding the entire city would be broken in the next moment.

"Didn't Han Zhan swear that there was a god in the city? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

There was confusion in Wei Zhong's eyes.

"Did you deliberately puff up your face to face the fat guy?"

While I was wondering whether I should take action later, a painful bird cry suddenly came from a distance.

I saw infinite Gengjin energy rising from the giant bird's claws and gradually moving towards its legs.

In the meantime, the four colors of green, blue, red and yellow emerged and blended with the energy of Gengjin, as if a ball of chaos wrapped it tightly.

Weapons emerged, five-colored chains imprisoned the bird's legs, and endless swords emerged from the five-colored spiritual light, pointing directly at the giant bird's flesh and scales.

The weapons moved together, following the lines on the scales and piercing into its body through the gaps.

This caused the latter to cry out in pain.

It seemed like a successful achievement, but from Wei Zhong's perspective, it was just some ants clinging to a giant.

The big bird reacted violently, but in fact there were no obvious injuries.

Sure enough, the Green-Feathered Dragon, having escaped from the temporary pain, flapped its iron wings and an endless hurricane emerged, wrapping itself around and dispersing the Five Elements spiritual light that was clinging to its body.

The swords and chains derived from them also seemed to have decayed and turned into flying dust.

Breaking free from its restraints, the fifth-rank demon bird soared into the air, away from the defensive city, staring at the city below, as if considering something.

"This bird is very strong. We are short of Fire and Earth, so we are not strong enough to threaten it."

Gu Xi smiled bitterly:
"Even if the Gengjin Five Elements Formation is complete, it may not be a match for this evil creature. This bird is too high-level, and it has a good wind-moving magical power. It is not an enemy that we, the Nascent Souls, can resist with just a magic formation."

Turning to look at Han Zhan:

"Friend Han, when will the help from Jiuzhou arrive?"

The latter shook his head:

"It has only been seven days since I sent out the request for help. The internal affairs must still be under discussion. How could there be such a quick response?"

"If no help arrives, we will have no choice but to abandon this defensive city and retreat to Kyushu."

Jiang Liyong looked at the Jiuzhou cultivators below with a serious expression.

Han Zhan sighed:
"Let the monks below retreat first."

While several people were talking, the demon bird in the sky swooped down again, bringing with it an endless hurricane, which depressed the spiritual light of the defense city's formation by several miles. It was like a squeezed ball, in danger.

"I can't hold it anymore!"

Wei Zhong sat up, with the golden thunder sword in his hand ready to go, already planning to attack.

'If I can help the other party resist this bird again and protect the defense city, I wonder if I can gain their trust and get a chance to exchange for the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique."

The "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" in Wei Zhong's hand has reached its climax when it is passed down to the stage of Spirit Transformation, but it does not include the subsequent stages of Refining Void, He Dao, and Mahayana.

Even if Wei Zhong breaks through to the realm of refining emptiness, he will not be able to improve his cultivation in the future due to the lack of skills, and will only linger in the initial stage of refining emptiness.

'Of course, it is more likely that the other party will be suspicious and wary of you because your Divine Transformation cultivation has been exposed.

"It's not easy!"

As he hesitated, a red line of fire suddenly shot out from the void behind the defensive city.

Wherever the flames reached, a pitch-black channel was formed, as if the incoming flames absorbed all the surrounding light.

The fire line hit the giant bird's body, colliding violently with the hurricane on its surface, and then shot obliquely into the sky as if being refracted.

Turning around, I saw a figure burning with red flames falling over the defense city like a flying cannonball, confronting the giant bird.

Wei Zhong was able to see the other person's appearance and said in surprise:
"Mecha?"

The figure was more than ten feet tall, and was red and bright black in color, with golden embellishments on the joints.

There was a red tassel on the top of his head, with red flames rolling. There were red spiritual patterns on his shoulder armor, arms, and even everywhere, which attracted and gathered fire spiritual energy that was so rich that it was substantial.

When the figure moved, it ignited like fuel, lighting up with brilliant red flames, appearing magnificent and extraordinary.

"Based on the human world's weapon refining techniques, it should be a large heavy armor.

“However, most of the cultivators in the human world rely on their own spiritual skills to fight the enemy. Their robes, spiritual clothes, and even armor are all designed to be light, and rarely cover the cultivator’s entire body.

"It's only used to block some of the aftermath of attacks, and the main attacks are resisted by magic shields and other items.

"In addition to the complicated production process of this kind of heavy armor, the magic shield is cheap and durable. Even if a piece is broken, it is extremely simple to repair or replace it with a new one." But if this fine heavy armor is damaged, it will be a big hassle to repair it unless you are a high-level equipment refiner.

"As expected of Kyushu, which is more modern. With the development of Xiandao industry, it shouldn't be difficult to repair it."

"I'm afraid the materials used are comparable to the puppetry I practice. I just don't know how skilled the armored man is.

"If you can't reach the state of a god, you have to re-evaluate the strength of the human world."

When the red figure appeared, Gu Xi and others below suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Liyong looked up at the tall, heavily-armored figure confronting the demon bird in the sky, with obvious envy in his eyes.

"Lihuo Heavy Armor, I wonder which genius came here to bring such a heavy weapon with him."

Han Zhan also had confusion in his eyes, and murmured:
"There are not many fifth-level heavy armors in Jiuzhou. Most of them are firmly controlled by the high-level masters of the Divine Transformation Realm. This heavy armor is unlike any I have seen before. Could it be that it was just cast?"

No one could answer the questions in his mind.

The confrontation between the man and the bird above the defense city did not last long. They looked at each other for only a moment before they collided with each other with a loud bang.

The hurricane and the flames continued to collide, scattering in all directions, landing on the protective aura below, creating ripples.

Gu Xi and others watched with bated eyes, fearing that the aftermath of the fight between the two would destroy the defensive city.

Fortunately, the battlefields of the two sides kept moving towards the Green Forest Sea.

Wei Zhong saw that the battlefield was getting closer and closer to him, so he sighed and stood up.

"Even if I can withstand the aftermath of the fight between the two, I don't want to be exposed here."

Summoning the Great Jin, Wei Zhong waved his sleeves, and seven battle flags fell into his sleeves. He turned his head to look at the battlefield approaching in the distance, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

The red figure was like a human-shaped dragon, fighting the giant bird in close combat, with flames blooming in his hands and every punch causing an explosive sound.

The huge wings flapped, and in an instant the monk in heavy armor hit him with a punch, sending him flying backwards at an even faster speed.

A cannon appeared under the forearm, and a line of fire shot out, leaving a huge charred wound on the tip of the wing.

This caused the latter to wail in pain.

A heavily armored humanoid rushed out, picked up one of the giant bird's claws, stomped his legs in the air, and picked up the Green-Feathered Dragon as if he were stepping on a real object, and threw it to the ground, raising endless smoke and dust.

The ground was broken into pieces, and several gullies spread out for dozens of miles.

Before the Jade-Feathered Dragon could struggle to get up, a scarlet figure flew over and punched it on the crown of its head, knocking it back to the ground.

Then he punched him again and again. When he got excited, he grabbed his wings and helped him turn over...

Wei Zhong watched with great interest from high in the sky and felt sorry for the Jade-Feathered Dragon.

As a fifth-rank demon bird, the Green-Feathered Dragon's physical strength is already among the best in its rank. However, at this moment, it is being suppressed by a spiritual practitioner wearing heavy armor.

Wei Zhong admitted that he did not pay enough attention to this spiritual armor.

"It's about the strength of a fifth-stage mid-stage body refiner. It should be on par with the Jade Feather Dragon, but its speed is too fast.

“Although the Jade Feather Dragon is good at the Wind-Walking Ability, its advantage lies in long-distance attack. When it comes to close combat, it will be hindered by its own huge body.

"Once someone who is not afraid of his physical power gets close to him, this will happen."

Looking at the two figures that flew from the ground to the sky and then crashed into the forest from the sky, Wei Zhong sighed:
"This man and this bird have to be beaten!"

Although the attacks of both were swift, it seemed that neither of them had the offensive skills to secure victory in one fell swoop.

Therefore, this seemingly fierce fight is actually a constant battle of consumption. It depends on whether the Jade Feather Dragon can't hold on and escapes, or the heavy armor runs out of spiritual power first...

After watching for a while, Wei Zhong also felt a little bored.

The fight between the two is fist-to-flesh and very exciting to watch, but it will get boring after watching it for too long.

Yawning, Wei Zhong looked at the text on the panel:
【Space Gate: Opened.】

'You can't hang on to one tree. If you can't get the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" from Jiuzhou, you have to go to other places to look for the skills of Lianxu and above.

"You can't stop practicing. You can always come back to it later."

Flying away from the place where the two were fighting, Wei Zhong opened the door of space and stepped inside.

Passing through the bizarre space channel, Wei Zhong returned to the boundless void of the human world again.

Feeling the familiar power of luck and protection, he let out a breath.

"The human world is good, but there is no way forward. If you want to continue, you must ascend."

[Space Gate: Charging (0%)]

"This space gate is attached to the Treasure Record of Time and will not be different whether I am in the human world or the spiritual world.

“It’s like there’s an extra space door connecting the two worlds.

"The Nine Provinces can be put aside for now, and we should break through the Void Refining first."

After returning to the human world from the void, Wei Zhong did not show up again. He just flew across the four continents and met some familiar people in secret.

Everything is fine, and Wei Zhong is happy.

Take one step and reach the south of Yunzhou...

On that day, a beam of light penetrated the sky and the earth, and the strange phenomenon attracted many monks nearby.

However, what they saw was a desolate land, without any trace of treasures, and they all turned into flocks of birds and dispersed.

Clouds appeared in the sky and three people walked out from them. They were the Shan family father and daughter from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce and Miaoli Shan.

"This ascension phenomenon must be that of Fellow Daoist Wei!"

Shan Gu could only sigh in his heart when he saw the two people in silence.

From then on, Wei Zhong officially left the human world and flew to the upper world, Mingyu.

……

In Jiuzhou, the giant green-feathered dragon collapsed limply on the ground, its legs broken and bent, its claws not as they were before, their spiritual light dim.

The scales on its body were broken, and the wing bones were bent, exposing the sharp bone forks.

What’s terrible is that several green feathers on its crown were plucked out, leaving only one, making it look extremely miserable.

The fiery red figure calmly put the feather into his bag, and then Gu Xi flew over.

"I've met fellow Taoist!"

The heavy armored man stood with both hands hanging down, and the breastplate slowly opened, revealing a beautiful female face.

Her black hair was tied up behind her back, and her eyes showed joy at seeing an acquaintance.

"Long time no see, old principal!"

"You are, Shuya?"

While the two were reminiscing about the past, Han Zhan was patrolling near Lingshan where Wei Zhong was staying.

Seeing that there was no trace of Wei Zhong on it, he became even more confused.

The monks who had explored the surroundings of the defensive city also returned, and they all said that they had not seen any traces left by the monks.

Looking at the fiery red heavy armor in the distance, he murmured:

"Where on earth did this fellow Daoist Jie go?"
