Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 577 – Restatement

In the following period of time, Yang Junshan fought with the Cultivator Zi Mei twice.

Yang Junshan either took the initiative to launch a series of fierce attacks, or dived into the ground to ambush, and when the opponent appeared, he suddenly rushed out, attempting to injure Cultivator Zi Mei severely.

Both operations, however, failed.

The first time Yang Junshan went for the initiative, under Yang Junshan’s continuous barrage of attacks, he did gain the upper hand in the first round. But the Cultivator Zi Mei had the lightning array which was growing from the dark clouds in the sky, and it quickly resolved the situation, although Yang Junshan knew that the True Essence in his body was dense, but the opponent was not worried about the loss of True Essence with the help of the external force, it would only affect Yang Junshan more and more if it were to drag on.

Seeing Yang Junshan leaving, the Cultivator Zi Mei naturally refused to let his opponent leave, and immediately prepared to give chase. However, unexpectedly, he was almost hit by Yang Junshan’s Returning Spear, and could only let Yang Junshan leave in the end.

The second time he sneaked into the ground to kill, he had indeed caused the other party to suffer a small loss in the beginning, but he did not inflict any serious damage. The Cultivator Zi Mei which had turned into lightning, displayed an innate divine ability far surpassing the “Earth Shrinking” divine ability, and continuously avoided Yang Junshan’s killing technique. In the end, Yang Junshan could only turn around and escape, and Yang Junshan could only sigh in joy.

Cultivator Zi Mei who had recovered his strength immediately returned to fight. Both sides were engaged in another huge battle, but no one could do anything about it. In the end, they could only retreat.

However, in the end, he had still been sent scurrying in all directions like lightning by the opponent, and in the end, he was still able to avoid it. From the first time Yang Junshan was suppressed, to the very end, he could only achieve a draw;

After the second attempt failed, Yang Junshan already knew that relying on his own cultivation to defeat Cultivator Zi Mei who was able to borrow the power of heaven and earth from this illusionary world was not realistic at all.

Furthermore, through the two of them fighting against each other, Yang Junshan was able to confirm that there was no third generation existence in the illusion world. Thus, the key to whether or not Yang Junshan could break out of the illusion world, and leave the illusion space, was most likely going to fall on Cultivator Zi Mei’s shoulders.

The other party was able to borrow the power of thunder that was born in the sky, but he could only rely on his own strength to contend against it.

The calm Yang Junshan couldn’t help but pat his head. Since the other party could utilize the power of the lightning in the sky, then why couldn’t he borrow some external force?

He was a grandmaster level array master, and when Yang Junshan thought about how he fought against the Cultivator Zi Mei aesult of that, Yang Junshan immediately felt that his attainment in formations was about to go up in smoke.

Yang Junshan had the complete inheritance system of the formation, so the Five Elements Lightning Light Formation could also borrow the power of thunder and lightning. Using the lightning formations to fight against the lightning abilities, the least of it would be able to cancel out the external force the opponent used to nurture the lightning in the sky.

As long as he did not use any external forces, in a direct confrontation between cultivators of the same cultivation level, who would Yang Junshan be afraid of?

After collecting all the various materials that had been accumulated in the few storage treasures on him, Yang Junshan estimated that it would actually be enough to set up a small and simple Five Elements Lightning Light Spirit Formation.

This was because there was an abundant amount of lightning energy within the illusion world that could be used, allowing him to save or use other things to replace quite a few of the original array spirit materials. Otherwise, the items that Yang Junshan had collected in the past few years might not even be enough.

No matter what, the formation was still set up by Yang Junshan in the end. Finally, Yang Junshan quietly returned to the hill where he met the Cultivator Zi Mei first, and placed the huge boulder that was filled with lightning essence as the base of the formation.

The Five Elements Lightning Light Spirit Array was activated successfully, and its power was maintained at 80% of its original power, when using the Five Elements Lightning Light Gem as the base.

The power of this Spiritual Array was already quite impressive!

The only thing left to do was to lure the Cultivator Zi Mei into the array so that he would not be alerted.

But it did not seem to be a difficult task, during the three consecutive battles between Yang Junshan and the Cultivator Zi Mei, Yang Junshan had never used an array before, and the Cultivator Zi Mei probably did not expect that Yang Junshan would be a grandmaster level array master. As long as Yang Junshan did not display a good ability to lure him in, the two of them could just walk together into the array and not be seen through by the Cultivator Zi Mei.

Yang Junshan then wandered around the Thunder Provenance, trying to find Cultivator Zi Mei.

Unexpectedly, when they didn’t want to meet normally, the two of them would meet up frequently. At this time, Yang Junshan was deliberately searching for his, but he hadn’t found any traces of Cultivator Zi Mei even after walking for most of a day.

In the Lightning Provenance, Yang Junshan would still occasionally encounter lightning that fell from the sky, and would often land in a place where metal met. After his lightning had struck, Yang Junshan had also ventured forward to take a look, and discovered that the lightning that struck the ground had condensed metal-attributed spirit materials of decent quality. However, its quality was rarely comparable to the Metal Stone he had used as the foundation of his formation.

After wandering around the Wasteland for another four hours, just when Yang Junshan was suspecting that the Cultivator Zi Mei had already left the Mirage of the Thunder Provenance, suddenly, a series of thunderous roars came from the distance.

Yang Junshan asked as he left. After passing through a short hill, he saw from afar, a ball of lightning condensed, and lightning fell from the sky one after another. After striking the ball of lightning, a large number of Thunderfire Snakes scattered in all directions, but many of them directly fused into the lightning.

Earlier, Yang Junshan had seen a lot of lightning strikes in the Lightning Provenance. However, no matter how good the spirit materials were gathered there, there was no way they could attract as much attention as the lightning strikes from the sky. In Yang Junshan’s heart, there was only this ball of lightning, and what kind of treasure was it?

Yang Junshan quickly approached the ball of lightning, only to see that he was halfway there. The scene inside the lightning could finally be seen clearly, it was not some kind of treasure, but a curled up person. And from the looks of it, it seemed like this person was not Cultivator Zi Mei.

Right at the moment when Yang Junshan’s legs paused, the Cultivator Zi Mei who was curled up in the lightning immediately raised his head and looked at Yang Junshan, his gaze unexpectedly carrying a hint of ridicule.

Yang Junshan’s heart sank. This is bad, this guy also used a method, he’s purposely luring me closer.

Without saying a word, Yang Junshan turned and left.

But a loud roar came from behind him. The Cultivator Zi Mei suddenly soared into the sky, the condensed lightning around him attracted the lightning which was formed from the black clouds in the sky again, and the two combined in mid air, transforming inturple lightning as thick as a bucket, striking straight towards Yang Junshan’s back.

This was a lightning bolt that was not inferior to the Precious Techniques and Divine Powers, he was screwed!

Yang Junshan did his best to rush forward, and he had already unleashed the “Spatial Compression” ability beneath his feet to the limit. He took a step forward, and crossed nearly three hundred meters, yet, he still could not escape the pursuit of the lightning behind him.

A loud noise came from behind him, causing the entire ground to tremble, to the point where Yang Junshan had the illusion that the other party was using “Earthshaking Mountain Shaking” Precious Techniques and Divine Powers.

Yang Junshan instantly conjured the Mountain Guarding Spirit Art, causing the gigantic astral clouds in his dantian to contract in an instant, and the Nine Ruins True Divine Palace in his body poured into his protective divine ability as if they were priceless. The protective astral energy radiated brilliantly, but was immediately destroyed by the overwhelming lightning light, causing Yang Junshan’s entire body to be thrown several tens of meters away, likolling gourd, his entire body became scorched black, and his clothes turned into ashes.

Cultivator Zi Mei slowly landed on the ground, looking at Yang Junshan who was several tens of meters away with a slight smile on his face. Unexpectedly, that smile immediately stiffened.

who looked like he was severely injured suddenly jumped up again, coughing loudly, his mouth constantly spitting out black soil, he ignored his own sorry state and scolded: “Damn, this time I nearly fell for your trap.”

As Yang Junshan’s body trembled, the charred black clothes on his body fell off, revealing a set of inner armor that was worn closely, it was the Spirit Ranked Armor that Yang Junshan refined with the fur of the Icy Plains Giant Bear. If not for the fact that this armor managed to withstand the power of the lightning at the very last moment, how could Yang Junshan still be as lively as he was now.

However, this set of Spirit Ranked Armor had already become tattered to the point that it could not be used anymore due to the ravaging of lightning and lightning abilities. It was a nice set of Spirit Ranked Armor, and the only Spirit Ranked Armor in Yang Junshan’s possession, would probably be useless already.

Although Yang Junshan looked to be in a sorry state, in truth, he was not severely injured, but the situation that Cultivator Zi Mei had meticulously planned for did not turn out to be like this. He was infuriated, and when he saw Yang Junshan’s face filled with provocation, he turned into lightning and rushed forward.

Yang Junshan was tricked by Cultivator Zi Mei until he almost died, but he was naturally holding back the anger in his heart, and seeing that, he was not to be outdone, causing both sides to immediately become embroiled in battle.

It was because the two of them had already exchanged blows three times before, and both of them understood their respective methods. Rather than calling this battle a battle, it would be more accurate to say that they were venting their anger.

Fortunately, Yang Junshan had not lost his rationality due to his anger, not to mention that he had been set up by the other party, so he naturally had to think about revenge. Using the fact that Yang Junshan had not lost his rationality due to his anger, not to mention that he had been set up by the other party, he naturally had to think about revenge.

As the two sides clashed with each other, the Cultivator Zi Mei had the upper hand. Naturally, he was in high spirits and chased after Yang Junshan to suppress him, but Yang Junshan did not blindly retreat in one direction. Instead, he retreated in different directions several times along the way.

The Cultivator Zi Mei did not doubt that he was the one who had entered the trap Yang Junshan had set meticulously.

Seeing that Yang Junshan had suddenly stopped moving, a burst of suspicions flashed through Cultivator Zi Mei’s mind, but in the end he did not give up this opportunity to gain the upper hand. He extended his hand towards the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck down towards Yang Junshan’s head.

This time, it was Yang Junshan who had a look of ridicule on his face, as he ignored the lightning above him, he raised both of his hands and bellowed: “Rise!”
