Chapter 539: Five Hundred and Thirty Five: Trump Card
Common trump cards include talismans and soul instruments, more advanced ones include secret arts and bloodlines, and the highest level trump cards are innate spiritual objects.
Quite evidently, Mi Yang’s “Thousand Green Wood Realm” is his trump card. The extremely sensitive to spiritual power Tang Luo understood that if he was wrapped around by this realm, it was likely they would be defeated in the blink of an eye!
This technique drains almost all other spiritual power in space, or it transforms all the spiritual power of heaven and earth into wood spiritual power.
The extremely powerful wood spirit power has a strong amplifying effect on the Thousand Green Wood Realm, especially against earth spirit power, it has an extremely powerful suppressive effect. And the Red Cloud Skill of the three Du Clan members is a branch of the earth art technique.
Tang Luo could immediately see the intent of this Thousand Green Wood Realm. The so-called Eastern Sky is governed by Wood Qi, and its color is blue, corresponding to the Azure Dragon position, the governor of spring, and is ruled by the Azure Emperor. It is associated with wood, blue, wind, eyes, soul, color, breathing, tears, Yuanxing, and wandering souls!
This guy is positioning his Thousand Green Wood Realm as if he is the Azure Emperor himself, and a Fierce Realm peak with a Divine Wood’s bloodline might actually have such power.
He constructed a small world within this larger world, and he, Mi Yang, is the ruler of this Thousand Green Wood Realm.
Water can give birth to wood, but too much wood inhibits water, so the common water spirit techniques are completely suppressed inside the Green Realm.
The ultimate wood is also known as Yang Wood, it can overcome fire, Yang fire can overcome earth, Yang earth can overcome metal, Yang metal can overcome vibrant water, and Yang water can overcome wood. Within this realm, fire techniques can only be displayed to about one-tenth of its power.
Metal can overcome wood, but strong wood can break metal, so metal techniques simply can’t be used in the realm of the Thousand Green Wood.
Among the Five Elements, metal, fire, and earth are suppressed, wood is untouched, and only top-level water spirit skills have a chance to break the Thousand Green Wood Realm from within. But where can they find such a top-level powerhouse now?
Perhaps they could use the ultimate Yin-Yang and Thunder to decipher it. If Tang Luo had the cultivation of the Fierce Realm now, he could indeed tear a hole with Yin and Yang grinding, but that’s just an if.
Everyone is now almost in a desperate situation, they can only defend, but they have no way to deal with this realm.
Not to mention anything else, even the air within the Thousand Green Wood Realm contains a potent poison. Just breathing in would crystallize the internal organs, leading to death.
And it’s not just Tang Luo and several Fierce Realm fighters that are enveloped by the Thousand Green Wood Realm, but also almost all the followers who came to support them.
“Everyone listen, hold your breath from now on. The air in this realm contains a toxic miasma. I have a mantra here for the Turtle Breath technique. Listen carefully!” Tang Luo never believed that the toxic gas was the entirety of the Thousand Green Wood Realm, this was at most an appetizer, but he believed more in the real attack that would surely come at him. After all, he is Mi Yang’s main target. Although the wood technique has an overwhelming suppression on the earth technique, fortunately, the defense of the Red Cloud Skill is excellent. He does not believe he can’t hold on until the Tang Clan’s reinforcements arrive.
But those followers who are still here are not necessarily the same. If they are suspicious and wait for a while, these people may suffer a painful death due to the crystallization of their internal organs. He can only hurriedly share a mantra of the Turtle Breath Technique. The techniques he has chosen from the Tang Clan’s treasury are all superior, so even a simple Turtle Breath technique has a big background.
This “Xuanwu Meditation,” also known as “Turtle Breath Real Technique,” is considered one of the holy articles in the Turtle Breath technique. It can replace external respiration with internal respiration, circulating internal air for several days at a time. There are three levels of this technique: latent respiration, true meditation, and cessation.
For this group of martial artists who are at least in the Mortal Realm, as long as they practice to the level of latent respiration, they can ignore the toxic gases in the Wood Realm.
“Inhale and hold your breath, guard your heart and thoughts around your navel, forget all the heartbeats, and only one sense of spirit remains in the hollow of the navel. Don’t rush or hold back, be peaceful for a long time, and the latent breath technique will be successful!” Tang Luo, who has a built-in radio, briefly shared the latent respiration verse of Xuanwu Meditation, and a large number of followers sat still, holding their breath, and nearly instantly completed latent respiration.
To put it plainly, the art techniques in the world are nothing more than the use of spiritual power. Perhaps a Mortal Realm martial artist needs a month to practice the latent breath verse, but for civilian martial artists who have accumulated qi for at least ten years, it is too easy to gather spiritual energy and consciousness around the navel.
Even some Mortal Realm martial artists who originally practiced other turtle breath techniques followed suit after hearing the latent respiration verse of Xuanwu Meditation, and the results were impressive.
Hearing Tang Luo in this desperate situation still thinking about the followers, Mi Yang’s cold laughter echoed throughout the realm: “You’re heading towards death and you don’t even know it. You’re still trying to play the lord and king, I really don’t know whether to call you self-confident or arrogant!”
Tang Luo, seeing that all the followers have entered the meditative state, sneered towards the dome of the realm, “Headed for death? Based on your distorted realm? If the two of your arms were intact, then I really would be in danger. I suppose your two Green Dragon of Wood tools would be earthshattering in this wooden realm. But now you don’t have the Green Dragon of Wood, the help of the Mi Clan martial artists, nor do you have your Green Dragon. How can you kill me? Based on what!?”
The silver-grey giant, while questioning, sucked in the poisonous gas of the realm like a long whale, then slowly exhaled it, and mocked again: “Based on this miasma? It does have a bit of the refreshing scent of fruitwood, it has a great effect of refreshing and waking up the brain!”
Of course, Tang Luo knew that Mi Yang still had attacking techniques, but he knew that only by saying this could he provoke him, attract him to attack himself because he has the protection of five Fierce Realm guards, whereas those followers have nothing. What’s more important is that he calculated the time. According to the normal speed of a Fierce Realm flight, they have now reached the boundary of Red Cloud Mountain.
Most importantly, he has determined for sure that Xiao Jinlin, who is known as the strongest in Xiling, has definitely allied with the Tang Clan. At this moment, he is probably hiding in some corner watching. If something really changes, he will definitely not sit idly by.
It’s not that Tang Luo has so much confidence in the alliance, but because he has confidence in the clan leader Tang Zhi. Based on his meticulousness, Tang Luo was definitely allowed to stay at Red Cloud Mountain with full confidence. Otherwise, he would have dispatched Fierce Realm guards earlier, at least a small team, this would be in line with the status of the first sequence.
With so many judgments, he really didn’t know why he should be panicked. So, what he has to do now is to minimize the loss as much as possible and not let this group of innocent followers get wiped out.
Mi Yang, who has been going about Xiling unchallenged for over a hundred years, has never been ridiculed in person like this. He coldly said: “Since you want to die soon, I will oblige you!”
Dragon shadows created by the true qi of green wood appeared on the inner wall of the dome. At a glance, there were probably hundreds of them. The three members of the Du Clan didn’t dare to wait any longer, and the three of them jointly raised a barrier, enclosing the six people inside.
Three layers of thick barriers were stacked on top of one another, making this arc-shaped structure look like a fortress. The 360-degree no-dead-angle defense provided the people inside the crystal wall with a strong sense of security.
The embossed dragon shadows finally formed, falling vertically towards the crystal barrier. Every shadow was a strike of green light, heavily hitting the crystal wall. And the attack was just beginning, yet the complexion of Du Ting inside the crystal wall had already changed.
