I Can See Your Combat Power - Chapter 541: Chapter Five Hundred Thirty-seven: Rift

“Since ancient times, the visualization of the strong is either a phoenix or a dragon, or a golden-winged roc. It’s laughable that being hailed as Hero Du by Xiling, your spiritual visualization turns out to be an inanimate object!” Mi Yang mercilessly ridiculed the gigantic cauldron transformed by Du Sha.

The so-called visualization could be a physical entity or a figment of imagination. For example, the achievement of a Bodhisattva or an Arhat is a manifestation of a fanciful image. However, if it is a raging storm or a mirage, it is a real existing scene. Some martial arts practitioners have attained enlightenment among mountains and rivers, become emotionally overwhelmed beyond the nine heavens, and even visualize the rising of the sun, the setting of the moon, and the stars in the sky to complete the manifestation of their spirit.

However, such spiritual visualizations fluctuate greatly in strength. Some are like the majestic sun overlooking the nine levels of heaven, while others are as useless as a chicken’s rib, with almost no augmentation. But visualizing a wine cauldron as a spirit is the first time Mi Yang has seen this.

The so-called Xuan Ding is a vessel for drinking wine. Even if enlarged by a hundred or a thousand times, it remains a mere cup.

“Let me see what mystery lies within your wine cup!”

As Mi Yang’s words fell, countless Qingmu dragon spirits emerged in mid-air, pouncing towards the colossal figure of Xuan Ding, like numerous arrows, densely filling the entire Qingmu realm.

Facing the Qingmu light everywhere, the mysterious symbols all over the Xuan Ding began to flash various lights. The entire gigantic cauldron rotated and rose into mid-air. The gleaming symbols jumped off the body of the cauldron one-by-one, turning into massive characters that circled around the cauldron.

The Qingmu dragon spirits smashing into the characters were thoroughly scattered. The strong protective abilities of the characters invigorated those within the cauldron. Unfortunately, the number of Qingmu dragon spirits was too massive. Even though the characters were moving incredibly fast, some of them still hit the cauldron’s body.

Each impact caused the Xuan Ding to vibrate, but unlike the crystal wall that was punctured with a hole after a single hit, Xuan Ding had been hit dozens of times in just a few breaths of time. The continuous vibrations caused the inscriptions on the cauldron to start flickering.

After a dozen more breaths, the rune engravings on the body of the Xuan Ding had dimmed completely, and consequently, the giant characters guarding the sides of the cauldron had also vanished. The Xuan Ding, now without outer protection, started getting covered in endless green light and after enduring several hundred hits, finally, the first crack appeared.

Although Mi Yang’s spiritual power was rapidly recovering in the Qingmu realm, it wasn’t infinitely regenerating. After concentrating thousands of Qingmu dragon spirits, even the robust spiritual power of Mi Yang felt overwhelming.

The Xuan Ding was still silently and steadily rotating, as if the previous attack had no impact on it. If it wasn’t for the clearly visible crack, Mi Yang would have almost given up.

“Now I finally understand why Mi Hai has always wanted to bring you into the Mi Clan. With such a powerful defense in just a few years in the Fierce Realm, if you were to join the Mi Clan’s Martial Hall, it would certainly elevate our clan’s fighting readiness to the next level.” Mi Yang thought to himself while looking at the Xuan Ding, which had only one additional crack despite enduring more than a thousand dragon spirit attacks.

Who would be the most valued and cherished martial artist? Undoubtedly, it is someone who can lead the team to charge and withstand the combined attacks at the same level. The Mi Clan, although renowned for the Qingmu Battle Body, is inherently deficient in defense. Its power is intimidating in one-on-one combat, but when it comes to combined attacks from those at the same level, no one else can stand up to them other than his own Divine Wood embodiment.

The three-layer shock wall of the three Du Clan elders can merely withstand a thousand Qingmu dragon spirits, while Du Sha alone transformed into Xuan Ding can block almost the same number. At this moment, Mi Yang undoubtedly began to cherish the talent in front of him. Hundreds more dragon shadows appeared, accompanied by his authoritative voice.

“Du Sha, considering the difficulty of your cultivation, as long as you drive Tang Luo out of the cauldron, I will absolve the Du Clan of their disrespect. I will grant you the position of a dojo chief, and the three Du Clan elders will enjoy the treatment of a Martial Ancestor. I don’t know what promises Tang Luo made to make you so loyal, but whatever the Tang Clan can give, the Mi Clan can double!” Mi Yang confidently offered this proposal, certain that the Du Clan members, who were trapped in a seemingly hopeless situation, would bow their heads in submission. However, after a dozen breaths passed, there was still silence within the cauldron.

Feeling that he was losing face, Mi Yang became infuriated, “Are you seeking death?”

Dragon spirits crossed again like arrows. Without the guard of symbols, the Xuan Ding statue was continuously hit by the green light, making it shake. Enraged, Mi Yang relentlessly released hundreds of dragon shadows that hit the cracks accurately.

“Ding ding, ding ding ding, ding ding ding ding”

The continuous attacks made the cracks in the Xuan Ding statue grow larger and spread in all directions. In a short while, cracks had filled the entire Xuan Ding, nearing the point of shattering.

Almost drained of spiritual power, Mi Yang glared at the still defiant Xuan Ding and demanded, “Du Sha, now that I’ve ascertained that the Xuan Ding is a representation of your spirit, I know that your physical body and spirits have both been severely damaged. I’ll ask one last time, will you join the Mi Clan, or do you want to die full of cracks!?”

The ultimatum-like question raised the tension inside the cauldron. Finally, Du Sha, who had transformed into Xuan Ding, spoke up, “Cracks? What does it matter!”

“All things have cracks, that’s where the light gets in!” The Xuan Ding, now on the brink of shattering and filled with cracks, suddenly erupted with a radiant light, making this dilapidated cauldron appear extraordinarily solemn.

Along with Sun Jinfang waiting for a chance to strike, it had finally arrived after the second furious attack wave from Mi Yang, whose spirit was now dispersed ten feet above their head.

A red light erupted from the cracks in the Xuan Ding, converging into a scarlet beam of light. Before Mi Yang had even reacted, his spirit was completely engulfed by the light pillar.

Extreme Solar Brilliance, Divine Light Breaking Boundaries!

The presumptuously powerful Qingmu realm suddenly shattered after its Formation Eye was targeted, causing large amounts of spiritual energy of heaven and earth to pour in and dilute the dense Qingmu spiritual power to its limit.

Before the people had time to cheer for the breakthrough, the Xuan Ding, which had carried everyone during the release of Extreme Solar Brilliance, seemed to have exhausted all its energy and could no longer maintain its Dharma Aspect.

Unlike before, Du Sha’s body was now full of cracks, resembling a wind-dried, broken stone sculpture, which began to fall towards the ground.

Quick on his feet, Sun Jinfang immediately controlled him from falling and carefully enveloped him with his spiritual power, warning Du Ting who rushed over, “Don’t come here. Hero Du’s physical and spiritual bodies have been severely damaged, and his body is on the brink of breaking apart and he has lost consciousness. Even a slight shock will surely kill him. Everybody, back off. Let’s wait until I can revive Hero Du’s True Spirit.”

Upon hearing how severe the situation was, the three elders of the Du Clan, who originally intended to rush forward to inspect, immediately froze. Their eyes, however, kept closely monitoring Du Sha, who was veiled with a white glow, showing their deep concerns.

Although Tang Luo also cared about Du Sha’s wellbeing, being a man who could see battle power, he knew that a dying person’s spiritual power would rapidly dissipate. The direct manifestation of it was the fast-clearing numbers above one’s head. As for Du Sha, although he looked miserable, the numbers over his head were quite stable, so naturally, he didn’t catch Tang Luo’s attention.

“Let Master Sun take care of him. You need to consider how to deal with this angry wooden man here.”
