Chapter 76 Devouring Source Array

"Hmph, so much nonsense!"

Zhang Taichu let out a cold snort, and more energy suddenly surged from the source array beneath his feet, transforming into countless blades that spun and cut outwards.

With a piercing metallic scraping sound, the flying sword, the drill, and the energy chains beneath Zhang Taichu's feet were all shattered by the blade, neutralizing the deadly attack.

Zhang Taichu held up his hands, and five large round mirrors, each three meters wide, appeared in mid-air. The shape of these mirrors was exactly the same as the Radiant Mirror he had obtained.

"seal up"

A large "seal" character appeared on the surface of the mirror. Nangong Yi immediately felt that his body could not move. Not only that, but the operating speed of the Source Technique also decreased significantly and was about to collapse.

He quickly increased the energy input to the source array to get it running again.

However, at this moment, the word "seal" appeared on the surface of three more mirrors, and the source magic that had just been restored beneath his feet once again came to a standstill, this time completely unable to turn.

Just as Nangong Yi's expression changed drastically, Zhang Taichu's fifth mirror suddenly gathered a massive amount of energy, and then unleashed a laser beam that blasted towards Nangong Yi's old face.

Nangong Yi shouted, and a small tower flew out, blocking the laser beam in front of him.

"Boom!"

The massive explosion cracked the arena, and that was only because the arena was reinforced with an array; otherwise, it would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

"Another King-level weapon? Wait, no, it's a Quasi-Sacred Artifact? Your Source Arts family is really rich; you can even find something like this."

When Baba Yu went out to train, he had a king-level weapon to protect him. Now that Nangong Yi has taken out a quasi-saint artifact, it makes sense.

The quasi-sacred artifact's attack directly shattered the seal on the source magic, causing the source magic array beneath its feet to start operating again.

A massive amount of energy was injected into the Quasi-Saint Tower, causing it to begin to revive and emit bursts of holy power.

The biggest difference between a quasi-sacred artifact and a sacred artifact is that the quasi-sacred artifact does not have the laws of a saint, but it already possesses the saintly power that should be there.

This makes it far more powerful than a king's weapon, giving it an almost overwhelming advantage over those below the level of a saint.

"Buzz"

The Quasi-Saint Tower trembled slightly, its holy might pressing down, and Zhang Taichu took a few steps back, the source array beneath his feet beginning to crumble.

At this moment, the same holy might also surged out from Zhang Taichu's body, and then the Soul-Shocking Bell rushed out and took the attack of the Quasi-Saint Tower.

"Damn, these two guys are really rich; they even have near-sacred artifacts!"

Black Emperor's mouth was practically watering. Although it had followed Emperor Wushi, it didn't have much wealth. Emperor Wushi didn't want to force growth, so the magical artifacts he crafted for it were all growth-type.

It's a magical artifact similar to the Heavenly Court Scepter of Assassins; the level of cultivation one reaches determines the strength one can unleash.

Such magical artifacts are indeed excellent. They can continuously improve as one's cultivation level increases, and one no longer needs to painstakingly forge new magical artifacts.

However, it also has drawbacks, namely, the lack of life-saving equipment in dangerous situations.

Fortunately, the Black Emperor made up for this weakness with an array, but it also wanted a trump card like a holy weapon. Now that it saw that Zhang Taichu was so wealthy, it was ready to rob the rich.

The two near-sacred artifacts began to clash. Since they were both low-level cultivators using high-level weapons, they couldn't use any fancy tricks. They were just using basic, brute-force fighting methods with no skill whatsoever.

However, after fighting for a few minutes, Nangong Yi's side consumed another piece of divine source, making the source array more powerful and allowing it to support the use of quasi-sacred artifacts for a longer period of time.

On the contrary, Zhang Taichu's side remained unchanged, still using the original source array to support the Soul-Shocking Bell, which looked very stable.

At this moment, Jiang Taixu, who was sitting at the head of the table, revealed a smile, which made Fairy Caiyun beside him somewhat worried.

"Brother Taixu, do you think Taichu can win? I know a bit about that Nangong Yi. He's a well-known Origin Master with strength no weaker than the Holy Land Lord, especially in the Holy City, where he can perform beyond his usual level."

Jiang Taixu smiled calmly.

"When the fight first started, I was also very worried, but now I know that my friend Taichu will definitely win. Look closely at the size of the source array under their feet."

Fairy Caiyun turned her head and saw that the source areas under the feet of the two were very large, and even Nangong Yi's source array was larger. But strangely, as time went by, the area of ​​his source array would gradually shrink.

Whenever the source array shrinks by about half, Nangong Yi would crush a new piece of divine source to replenish its energy. In contrast, Zhang Taichu remained consistent, only using one piece of divine source at the beginning and never using it again afterward.

"What's going on? Could it be that Tai Chu secretly extracted the source stone energy from those stone workshops in the Holy City?"

"Hehe, as far as I know, long before the news of the duel spread, the stone workshops of the major holy lands had already moved their own source stones, just in case they started fighting and sacrificed all the source stones of the stone workshops."

Jiang Taixu laughed as he recounted the story, and Fairy Caiyun also chuckled.

During this period, due to Ye Fan's continuous gambling on stones, many stone workshops planned to hide their source stones, but they couldn't do so for the sake of face.

This showdown has given them a convenient excuse; now they don't have to worry about losing face.

"Then what is this?"

"It's a kind of devouring secret technique. When you were fighting, you incorporated this devouring secret technique into your technique. Nangong Yi's source array was absorbed without him even realizing it, which is why he kept crushing new divine sources."

Fairy Caiyun finally understood, and also understood why Jiang Taixu was so certain that Zhang Taichu would win.

Because the battle of source arts is all about who can mobilize more energy. The side with more energy can use stronger and more complex attacks.

Conversely, the side with less energy can only passively take the hits.

This is much simpler and clearer than the battles between cultivators from secret realms. For cultivators from secret realms, the factors that determine victory or defeat are not just their own magical power.

It also includes secret techniques, experience, spiritual power, and even physical strength.

Ye Fan initially won against stronger opponents, often relying on his physical strength, which far surpassed that of his enemies.

Source mages, on the other hand, are not so complicated; they only rely on energy intensity and disregard everything else.

Finally, after Nangong Yi used up ten pieces of divine source, his inventory ran out.

Without a new divine source, his source array began to shrink rapidly, and even the quasi-saint artifact could not be maintained, and the weapon spirits inside fell into slumber.

Ultimately, he didn't forge this quasi-sacred artifact; the weapon spirit had no connection with him.

If you don't provide them with energy, they'll just go on strike; they won't revive on their own to fight for you.

"Old man, you've lost!"

Zhang Taichu stretched out his right hand, and the Soul-Shocking Bell unleashed its full power, shattering Nangong Yi's Source Technique Array in one strike, followed by his body.

Although the Origin Master is strong, his physical strength is only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person, and cannot be compared with the cultivators of the secret realm. In addition, he does not have any special physique.

Therefore, after losing the protection of the source array, he was killed instantly, without even having time to scream.

A battle of source techniques has come to an end, and Zhang Taichu's strength has been fully displayed before the various holy lands.

It was only then that they were shocked to discover that Zhang Taichu not only had Yaochi and the Jiang family as his two powerful backers, but even on his own, he was a being comparable to a Saint Lord, and was not someone to be trifled with!
