Chapter 471: Chapter 100 Four Elements Formation_4
With the situation having reached this stage, Blood Skull naturally could not back down. Stiffly, he barked, "Full force attack, Unrestrained Heavens and Earth of the Four Element Array." The other three skeletons’ eyes revealed an expression of surprise. The Unrestrained Heavens and Earth was the most powerful attack within the Four Element Array, possessing the strength to shake the heavens and move the earth. Initially, the Northern Sword Saint had instructed them not to use it lightly unless it was a matter of life and death.
Red radiance rose from Blood Skull. He looked intently at Ah Dai opposite him. Wind Skeleton put away his longbow while his green Battle Aura exploded in brilliance. Iron Skull and Ice Skull also put away their weapons, their Battle Auras illuminated with yellow and blue respectively. The Battle Aura of the four colors surged up to the sky, enveloping the bodies of the four of them. In a moment, the battle energies intertwined with each other, their momentum rising.
Ah Dai’s anger was escalating relentlessly within his heart. He knew that but not for the fact he had just handed the Ring of Guardian to Xuan Yue, Wind Skeleton’s arrow would have likely hurt her more than it had. Perhaps if the skeletons were just hurting Ah Dai himself, he wouldn’t be as furious, but they had harmed Xuan Yue, and that was what fully ignited the flames of his wrath. Under Ah Dai’s deliberate motivation, the Golden Body within his Dantian emitted an intense radiance. The True Qi of the ninth realm wildly circulated within him. Within Ah Dai’s palms, two clusters of light green energy appeared. As his power intensification continued, a light blue glow began to shine from within these light green energies.
This blue color represented the Fourth Change of the Life Cycle realm. In his rage, Ah Dai’s mastery of the Life Cycle realm had been further enhanced somewhat. Word for word, he chanted, "Life - Life - Changes - Nature - Lightning - Clash." His left hand swiftly swung before him, flinging the green-blue energy out like a thin sheet. This energy fluttered gently in the air. His right hand drew a semi-circle at his chest before slowly pushing out, the light green energy instantly brightening up into dazzling radiance. Gradually, a bright ball of energy emerged from Ah Dai, emitting about it a sound akin to thunder.
Xuan Yue stood behind Ah Dai. She could feel the prodigy that was Ah Dai’s Battle Aura clearly. It felt as if it was a power that could connect the heavens and the earth!
The four skeletons were at a point where they had no choice but to unleash their attack. When Ah Dai began to cast the Heavenly Thunder Clash, Blood Skull roared loudly, "Heavens—" His body jerked forward aggressively, his hands raised, and the intense fire-related Battle Aura with its glaring red luminescence rose towards the sky. The other three, in a swift shift of position, formed a square formation with Blood Skull. The four skeletons took up one of the corners of the square each. Wind Skeleton barked loudly, "Earth—" Just like his ally, he raised his hands and the green Battle Aura surged into the sky, entangling itself with the red Battle Aura from earlier. As Iron Skull and Ice Skull screamed out, "Void—" "Unrestrained—", the earth-related Yellow Battle Aura and the water-based Ice Battle Aura sprung into action. The four-colored Battle Auras, infused with four distinct elemental powers, intertwined in the air, forming a swirling vortex of energy that began to warp the very air around them to its immense pull.
Having taken a deep breath, the Blood Skull was the leading force in this formation. His hands gradually retracted, the other three repeated his movements in sync, and the entangled energy in the sky also started to pull back. In the throes of compression, various colors of sparks flickered rapidly. Finally, under their collaborative control, the giant surging energy was concentrated into a single spot. The immense fluctuation of the energy made it incredibly difficult for the four of them to maintain the formation. The silver light armor on Ice Skull was already showing signs of wear and tear. The warped colossal energy continued to vibrate violently in between them.
Blood Skull gave Wind Skeleton a look, signifying that amongst the four of them, the two had the highest capacity of control. Blood Skull roared, "Go, Unrestrained Heavens and Earth of the Four Element Array." Red and green figures diverged at once, and the concentrated energy, infused with the full force of the four skeletons, exploded. After continuous compression, the energy morphed into a blue-purple color. An abundant light column swiftly rose, directed towards the Heavenly Thunder Clash released by Ah Dai. By then, the Heavenly Thunder Clash had approached its critical point of explosion, with thunder reverberating continuously around it.
As the blue-purple light collided with the light blue spherical energy, Ah Dai’s Yang Thunder, taking advantage of the immense suction it generated, not only momentarily impeded the devastating blow of the Unrestrained Heavens and Earth, but also absorbed a component of the elemental energy, forming a blue-purple aureole around the outside of the pale blue sphere. Ah Dai muttered in a low voice, "Heavenly Thunder Clash, break—" He issued a cry, prompting the pale blue sphere into a quick rotation. The suction force drastically increased, and Ah Dai looked at the sky with a sense of anticipation. The control of his Heavenly Thunder Clash was a lot smoother this time compared to his battle with Xuan Yuan, having already reached the ultimate boundary of the Life Cycle realm. Although it consumed a significant portion of his power, he still successfully held the authority to control the energy.
By now, the sky was beginning to darken. Suddenly, a streak of light flashed across the sky, enabling Ah Dai to clearly see layers of dark clouds accumulating. "Boom." A loud sound echoed, followed by the continuous drumming of thunder. A blinding, thick blue streak of lightning suddenly struck, landing precisely at the center of the pale blue sphere. The immense energy exploded instantly. Having successfully summoned the Yin Thunder, the collision of Yin and Yang Thunder unleashed an incredibly powerful burst of energy. How could the Unrestrained Heavens and Earth of the Four Element Array, the ultimate technique of the formation, even come close to the real power that connects the heavens and the earth?
