Chapter 589 Mortal and lmmortal Qi
Tong Ruobing and Xi Shangyan entered the pagoda for their battles. A projection appeared in the middle of the participants for them to witness everything.
These two found themselves floating above a large plain with mountains and forests in the distance. There were no houses or living habitats, only endless vivid green.
They stared at each for a moment, gathering their auras and momentum. Then, Xi Shangyan went on the offensive. She waved her to manifest millions of enormous galaxies. Then, she dropped them on her opponent.
'That attack,' thought Tong Ruobing. 'I did not sense any laws; it's pure energy. It should be Star Qi?'
Tong Ruobing pointed at the fallen galaxies and used a Decomposition Talisman. Her talisman resonated with the laws of this world before activating; it tried to decompose the attack and revert it to its original Qi form.
Unfortunately, she failed. So, Tong Ruobing quickie used another talisman with a frown.
Swallowing Talisman
A small rune appeared before Tong Ruobing. Then, it swallowed all the galaxies in a matter of seconds. However, she was not out of danger yet. As soon as she dealt with the galaxies, Tong Ruobing detected her surroundings had changed.
On the left side were millions of black spheres, and the other had the same quantity of white spheres.
'Black and White Hole,' she thought. And she was correct. The left side had a powerful gravitational pull that wanted to swallow her. Meanwhile, the right side had an equally powerful gravitational push that wanted to squash her into puree fruit.
As the person caught in the middle, the feeling of constantly being pushed and pulled by a powerful force was a nightmare. So, Tong Ruobing acted swiftly.
Gravity Canceling Talisman
She used an instant talisman to cancel the gravitational power of both black and white holes. However, she also went on the offensive.
Energy Suppressing Talisman
Tong Ruobing noticed the enemy only used pure Qi/ Energy attacks. And all her spells were abnormally powerful. As such, she concluded that there was a 70% chance she was a pure Energy Cultivator. It would make sense, given Xi Shangyan's identity as a Celestial race.
Of course, there is also the 20% chance she hid her Law Power as a trump card. However, if that was the case, Tong Ruobing determined this battle might be harder than anticipated based on how powerful her Qi Spells were.
As for the remaining 10%, it was possible that her Qi attacks were more powerful than even her Laws, so she only used them for battle. Although this conclusion appeared logical, there were some truths behind it.
Pure Energy Systems were weaker than Law ones because they usually created Third-Class Emperors. Laws and Daos were subsets of the Grand Dao Source. As such, cultivators usually comprehend them before in preparation for understanding their Grand Dao Source.
However, Pure Qi cultivators do not have this opportunity. After acquiring the Heaven Will, they skip directly to comprehend the Grand Dao Source, creating many Third-Class Emperors. In the Endless Void's history, only one individual became an Eternal Emperor from a Pure Energy Cultivation System.
A strange forcefield emanated from Tong Ruobing's talisman before surrounding Xi Shangyan. And the field could limit her control and power of her Qi. However, she only sneered in response.
Xi Shangyan pointed two finders toward her opponent. Then, her Qi changed from the previous star attribute to a space.
Space Compression Spell
Immediately, Tong Ruobing felt the space around begin to compress her into a biscuit. She could tell she could not run away or teleport from this attack. She immediately used a Space Twisting Talisman to take back control of the surrounding space.
Unfortunately, she only temporarily delayed the spell's effect.
'Something is wrong. Her spells are too powerful.'
She focused on the battle without the time to properly analyze the situation being this anomaly, and using Law Resonance to create Space-related Talismans cannot reach its full potential of Space Laws–unless Tong Ruobing was willing to comprehend Space as one of her secondary Laws.
And she has not done so. She has to use alternative methods to boost her talisman's powers. She waved her hand to manifest nine more Space Twisting Talismans.
Subsequently, she used a high-level technique for professions: Synchronization. Using many of the same talismans, Tong Ruobing can fuse them to boost their strength through great control.
So, as the nine talismans in the shape of yellow papers with runes floated before her, they vibrated, linked through a green line before fusing into one.
Boom!
