Yet the current situation left them no better option. Only close combat with their primordial spirits could possibly defeat the Tai Emperor's phantom.
The Tai Emperor's phantom was formed from divine consciousness and likewise had no physical body. His consciousness contained no vital essence, his divine abilities lacked power, and he had no sharp divine weapons. He could not inflict much harm on their primordial spirits.
The Tai Emperor's figure swooped down. Yue Tingge's and Luo Wushuang's primordial spirits rushed forward, about to strike, when suddenly dragons roared and tigers howled. One ferocious, malevolent flood-dragon after another flew out from the Tai Emperor's body, charging at the two of them!
"This is the so-called Visualization Divine Ability of Mu Tianzun? A divine ability conjured through divine consciousness?"
Luo Wushuang and Yue Tingge were deeply shaken. This method of composing divine abilities was completely different from their own cultivation method—it was an entirely different cultivation system!
Most divine abilities today were built upon the foundation of runes. Cultivators of divine abilities studied various runes, transforming vital essence into rune forms, and countless runes together constructed different forms of divine abilities.
As early as the first years of Longhan, cultivators of divine abilities had studied the ancient gods and demigods, examining the runes upon their bodies, comprehending their meanings, and compiling set after set of rune systems.
For example, the Four Spirits Divine Ability originated from the four innate ancient gods—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The Youdu Divine Ability came from Tubo, and the Xuandu Divine Ability from Tiangong. There were also the divine ability systems of Earth Mother Yuanjun, the Celestial Stars True Gods, and many others.
This method of cultivation had persisted for a million years.
—The only things outside the rune system were the Acquired Great Daos, such as the Dao of the Sword, the Dao of the Saber, the Dao of Painting, the Dao of Martial Arts, the Dao of Music, and so on. These were acquired creations, without runes.
Yet the divine abilities displayed by the Tai Emperor's phantom had leapt beyond this system. They belonged to the divine consciousness visualization system—visualizing dragons, phoenixes, gods, demons, and various powerful beings to fight alongside him!
Although Luo Wushuang and Yue Tingge had seen Shen Mu visualize fine wine, delicacies, and beautiful women along the way, even visualizing a divine dragon, Shen Mu had never used divine consciousness visualization in battle.
Now, seeing this method of combat with their own eyes, they were truly shaken.
The divine dragons visualized by the Tai Emperor's phantom were incomparably more powerful than the one Shen Mu had visualized. They possessed physical bodies, bodies so powerful they rivaled great experts of the Yujing realm, fighting the two of them with all their might, fearless of death.
For a time, the sky was filled with unending dragon cries and dragon roars!
Luo Wushuang and Yue Tingge were formidable after all, slaughtering the dragons in droves. Dragon heads and dragon bodies fell continuously from the sky, crashing into the Taiji Diagram. Yet the next moment, the divine dragon corpses vanished one after another, transforming into torrents of divine consciousness that surged skyward, once again becoming divine dragons charging at the two of them.
The two of them killed and killed, but could not kill them all. Anxiety gnawed at their hearts. The Tai Emperor's phantom's divine consciousness was too powerful. In this situation, they feared they would be worn down to death here, utterly unable to stop the Tai Emperor's phantom!
