Chapter 1004: Infernal Banyan
The immense Infernal Banyan root system under the ground didnt move yet, biding time for him to expand the many smaller ones upon the top of the spire. Until the net spread wide enough he wasnt going to spring the full trap. Of course, this sudden attack didnt go unnoticed. Even if he wasnt assaulting the spire, the release of his Infernal Qi would likely draw aggressive attention anyways. Heading directly to the peak of the spire without interruption was already the best he could hope for.
Those down on the lower levels of the Spire quickly fled back into the strangely shaped tower while a swarm of other Cultivators rushed out of the higher parts of the building, filling the circular ramp on the outside with confused faces. That confusion only lasted a moment as they confirmed that an attack was going on and they instead switched to anger.
The sheer number of Cultivators here was the reason that this target was the last on the list. It was just a shame that the sixth precious material was in such a difficult location. This spire was supposed to be the last target as it was also the most annoying to strike. This seventh target, Six Grains or Liu Gu, was the leader of this Spire and was known to never leave. Or at least the times he left was so rare that nobody could predict or even remember the times it happened. Six Grains acted as many ancestral protectors did, constantly remaining in the Spire to protect it and act as a powerful deterrent. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
Six Grains stared up at the aggressively armored appearance of the attacker, trying to lock eyes with Sage only to realize that there was a solid barrier blocking his view. The Transparent Gemsteel that Sage had helped develop for the Inner World was used here to create a helmet without any eye slits, and using formations to provide for air and cooling. This suit of armor was completely impermeable to the outside world, with exceptions created to allow his senses to collect information and for his own Qi and Law Power to be emitted. This separation should hopefully leave behind as little evidence as possible, which would be important in this case as it would be very hard to wipe this place out completely. Difficult as it was, he still intended to make the attempt, capturing everyone here and bringing away not just the whole Spire, but everything beneath and around it as well. There was no telling where Six Grains had hidden his treasures and after failing to retrieve the sixth valuable resources for Guan Zhenyan, it was important there were no problems here with the seventh.
Sage continued to throw out more of the Infernal Banyan seeds, flooding the sky with an almost eldritch abomination that continued to rapidly grow and expand, covering half the spires tall elliptical barrier. The shielding blocked sound from traveling out, but Sage could see Six Grains enough to read his lips and see the commands he was giving out. The fourth rank Cultivators in the Spire took control of the defensive array, the hundreds of them linking their Qi together and adding more power to the Spire. The dozen fifth rank Cultivators also linked together, bringing out a large hose-like Magical Tool which they then spread out to either side of and took hold like they were prepared to put out a huge fire. The end of the hose stretched back and into the open door of the Spire so Sage had no idea where it led, but he could tell it was some sort of combination weapon backed by arrays or treasures inside the Spire.
They turned the nozzle up towards him, which was in the style of a dragons head mouth open and roaring, from which was emitting a fearsome jet of water. Sage was truly not expecting to see such a thing, but given the position of the Spire in the center of a huge river, it made much more sense. The Infernal Banyan shifted to block the torrent firing upwards and Sage realized another purpose of the strange device. He could feel many weak Laws imbued into the water jet, likely the power of each of the Core Formation Cultivators that were driving it. It didnt just allow them to combine their Qi, but also their Laws and was likely assisted by the Spire and the river around them.
What a great find! They can combine so many different laws so easily! Will it work with laws of higher degree, or only the low level ones these level 50s can control?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
