Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1277 - 664: The Formidable Lin Tianming_2
Chapter 1277: Chapter 664: The Formidable Lin Tianming_2
At the same time, a massive tidal wave of force erupted, spreading out in all directions.
At this moment, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation had just formed and hadn’t had time to shrink its range much before it was shaken and trembled by this immense energy.
Lin Tianming felt the recoil of this force instantly, causing a sharp pain to surge through his Divine Sense.
Not only that, but even the True Essence Mana within his body, as well as his Qi-Blood, began to churn uncontrollably.
For a brief moment, Lin Tianming’s face turned pale, and his entire body staggered, almost plummeting from mid-air.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming steadied his focus immediately. Combined with his powerful Divine Sense and formidable Physical Strength, he managed to recover in an incredibly short span of time.
Otherwise, if it were anyone else, distracted as they were while enduring this wave of impact, they might have sustained injuries, giving the enemy an opportunity to counterattack.
As Lin Tianming stabilized his position for now, Yang Yinghai, across from him, was also struggling.
After all, the Earth Fiend Sword Formation constantly exerted oppressive pressure, leaving him in a state of perpetual constraint.
In addition, Lin Tianming’s Divine Skills and attacks were ferocious. When his attacks collided with Yang Yinghai’s, a massive shockwave rippled outward.
Trapped inside the Earth Fiend Sword Formation, Yang Yinghai didn’t have much room to dodge.
Thus, unable to evade, Yang Yinghai was forced to bear the brunt of this shockwave.
At that moment, Yang Yinghai’s face turned pale as well, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
By the time he regained his composure, he saw Lin Tianming already charging into the range covered by the sword array.
Furthermore, Lin Tianming was now advancing with his fist clenched tightly, unleashing a fierce punch aimed directly at Yang Yinghai’s forehead.
Upon witnessing this scene, Yang Yinghai dismissed it with disdain, inwardly convinced that Lin Tianming was courting death.
After all, Lin Tianming’s punch was nothing more than physical force exerted by a fleshly body. Compared to magical treasures known for their immense penetrative power, it was utterly inferior.
Confronted with such a foolish move, Yang Yinghai figured that a casual counterstrike of his own would be enough to make Lin Tianming pay dearly.
However, this was just Yang Yinghai’s assumption—the reality was far from what he expected.
With a crisp crack, Yang Yinghai’s hurried strike collided head-on with Lin Tianming’s fist.
At that moment, Lin Tianming’s punch shattered Yang Yinghai’s Sword Qi attack instantly and continued barreling toward his forehead.
Seeing this, Yang Yinghai’s expression turned to shock and rage, utterly unable to fathom the outcome.
In his view, Lin Tianming’s fist was like iron.
Meanwhile, his Sword Qi attack, likened to an icy pillar, was effortlessly smashed into smithereens.
Bear in mind, Lin Tianming’s fist was still merely a fleshly body.
Even so, the Sword Qi attack, powerful enough to instill fear in any Early Stage Golden Core cultivator, turned out to be so feeble.
This scene brought an immense shock to Yang Yinghai’s heart.
At this moment, he finally comprehended Lin Tianming’s terrifying strength.
This strength lay not only in cultivation realm but also in his monstrous Physical Strength, nearly rivaling that of a Third Order Late Stage demonic beast’s body in terms of raw power.
Moreover, Lin Tianming demonstrated incredible techniques, unleashing a set of seventy-two Magical Treasure-grade longswords in one move.
With such inherent qualities, complemented by his formidable Physical Strength, Lin Tianming could truly qualify as a top-tier cultivator with no apparent weaknesses.
Facing an opponent like Lin Tianming, not just Yang Yinghai himself—even any cultivator of the same level—would feel an unsettling dread.
After struggling to calm himself, Yang Yinghai now frowned deeply, his expression serious to the extreme.
There wasn’t time to reflect further, as Lin Tianming’s iron-like fist was already surging toward him.
The speed of this punch was astonishing. Though the fist was small, the momentum it generated felt like the weight of a mountain.
From afar, Yang Yinghai could already feel the advance of the incoming punch wind, smashing into his face with a force sharp enough to make his skin sting painfully.
Faced with this unexpected attack, Yang Yinghai had no time to think and hurriedly summoned his Defense Treasure to meet Lin Tianming’s fist head-on.
In an instant, Yang Yinghai formed a Law Decree, sending streams of Spiritual Light flowing towards a blue jade pendant before him.
Soon, a Blue Ice Shield emerged from the jade pendant, forming a protective barrier in front of him.
This blue jade pendant, being a water-attribute Magical Treasure, perfectly complemented Yang Yinghai’s Spiritual Root attribute. It was also regarded as the finest Defense Treasure possessed by the Tianqing Sect.
Additionally, the artifact’s refining materials predominantly consisted of Pure Heavy Water, a Fourth-Order Material with exceptional resilience.
More crucially, treasures refined from such materials could disperse a significant portion of force through water molecules, ultimately reducing the received impact to less than half its original magnitude.
Relying on this Defense Treasure, Yang Yinghai had swept through the Jinfeng Nation Cultivation World, repelling numerous formidable foes, with this treasure playing an indispensable role.
Deep down, Yang Yinghai harbored immense confidence in this Defense Treasure.
Now, faced with Lin Tianming’s sudden punch, Yang Yinghai had no choice but to hurriedly summon the Defense Treasure to counter the crisis, leaving him somewhat flustered.
Thankfully, Yang Yinghai’s combat experience was extensive, and his casting speed quick—he managed to activate the Defense Treasure in record time.
The moment the Defense Treasure solidified, less than a single breath had passed.
In that fleeting instant, Lin Tianming’s fist collided squarely with Yang Yinghai’s artifact.
"Bang..."
A crisp crack reverberated, followed by Yang Yinghai’s body being flung backward, slamming against a section of the sword array’s barrier.
At the same time, Lin Tianming also felt a sharp pang of pain emanating from his fist.
As the commotion subsided, Yang Yinghai climbed to his feet, his Qi-Blood surging within him as his complexion grew even paler.
Although Lin Tianming’s punch had been mitigated by the Defense Treasure, dispersing a large part of its force and neutralizing most of the recoil, the remaining force was still substantial enough to strike hard.
For a fleshly body like his, the residual force carried tremendous impact.
In truth, this was indeed the case.
Lin Tianming’s punch had sent Yang Yinghai flying, with the recoil inflicting injuries on him.
If not for the treasure’s special qualities, Yang Yinghai might have suffered serious harm from that punch.
Realizing this, Yang Yinghai felt a glimmer of relief mingled with overwhelming apprehension toward Lin Tianming.
Now, he fully grasped the extent of Lin Tianming’s terrifying strength.
It was no wonder Lin Tianming had once effortlessly slain Xie Changyang and Li Wenhai, and nearly killed his fellow disciple, Wu Chengfeng.
With such power, dealing with Xie Changyang and the others posed no challenge.
Now, having to face an opponent like Lin Tianming, Yang Yinghai encountered unmatched pressure.
This pressure was greater than anything he had experienced in his cultivation path, forcing him to remain vigilant at all times.
If Lin Tianming found even a single opening, it could lead to a fatal strike.
At the very least, he would suffer devastating consequences.
Understanding this, Yang Yinghai now kept his gaze locked on Lin Tianming, on full alert, fearing what terrifying move Lin Tianming might unleash next.
Meanwhile, Lin Tianming himself was surprised.
He hadn’t anticipated the Defense Treasure summoned by Yang Yinghai to be so extraordinary, capable of dispersing some of the punch’s force and even rebounding a portion back onto the attacker.
Earlier, unaware of these unique traits, Lin Tianming had also endured some of the recoil.
Fortunately, his Physical Strength proved immense, and his Qi-Blood unusually robust.
Under the recoil’s impact, his body had merely trembled briefly before he forcibly suppressed it.
