Chapter Forty-two: Endless Layers

  In front of this transformed snake, self-proclaimed Water, was subdued by Fei Long Zi in the past. After being subdued, it became the guardian spirit beast of Chang Sheng Palace. When Fei Long Zi's primordial spirit achieved great success and broke through the void to leave, Water hid in the swamp behind the mountain, bitterly cultivating without emerging, quietly waiting for the time when the transformed snake would become a dragon, achieving an undying divine dragon body, freely roaming at will!

  Just today, I suddenly felt a faint aura of violent killing, similar to the legendary witch tribe's breath, which made me quite excited! Now many cultivators may not know, but I followed Fei Long Zi and knew that the witch tribe is the ancestor of the demonic path, and my own cultivation path is also this way. If I can get the true witch tribe's technique, after transforming into a dragon, it will be a smooth journey!

  As far as the eye could see, the water discovered that the one who released that breath was actually just a small cultivator who hadn't even formed a Golden Elixir, and he couldn't help but feel surprised. He asked in a rough voice, "Little guy, do you have the Witch Clan's techniques?"

  Wooden Yuan faced the water, only to feel a mighty gust of air rushing towards him, like a mountain collapse and a tsunami, as if he could be submerged in this air wave at any time, his heart was greatly shocked.

  Even when facing the three primordial gods in the Longevity Palace, Mu Yuan had never felt such a violent power. The Daoist's internal energy was indeed extraordinary, but it also showed that the power of the water in front of him was majestic!

  At this time, Xiaoyi carefully asked, "Senior, are you the transformed snake senior who cultivated with our Flying Dragon Subsidiary's ancestor?"

  Her long body suddenly shook violently, the light waves fluctuated, and the dark yellow light flashed all over her body. In an instant, she transformed into a beautiful woman with a slender waist and lotus steps. Her whole person walked like flowing water, babbling brook, and smiled at Mu Yuan from head to toe. Her voice also turned soft and delicate, "Not bad, it's me!"

  Mu Yuan's heart sank, the dark path originally had a spiritual beast that could also transform into a human. If even after a thousand years of cultivation it couldn't freely transform into a human form, then it was too much of a loss!

  In his heart, he was muttering to himself, but on the surface, he was extremely respectful. "Junior Longsheng Palace's Mu Yuan has met Senior before, and is grateful for Senior's concern. The disciple had only occasionally stumbled upon a set of Wu tribe sword techniques and tried to practice them, not intending to disturb Senior's quiet cultivation!"

  "Oh", a faint disappointment flashed across her delicate and charming face, but it was gone in an instant, "It's just a set of sword moves."

  Facing such a powerful and unpredictable demon beast, Mu Yuan had a few points of apprehension in his heart. He didn't know what level the cultivation of this snake-transformation woman had reached, but Mu Yuan was not suspicious at all - if she wanted to kill him, it would be absolutely effortless!

  Her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she suddenly said, "Little guy, show me that set of Witch Tribe sword techniques!"

  Mu Yuan was taken aback, just about to say "I haven't practiced yet", when Shui Yu's jade finger lightly drew a stroke, and a burst of true energy swirled and shot out, heading straight for Mu Yuan.

  This true energy is not particularly strong, nor is it as irresistible as the aura on his body. Mu Yuan retreated diagonally, his ten fingers flying in a dance, his incantation changing and transforming, the air around him surging with energy, several flying swords suddenly breaking through the air, their sharp sword energy piercing through the void, an aura of slaughter spreading out, extreme ferocity!

  The water vapor swirled around his ten fingers, surging and falling in an endless transformation, the true power used was almost identical to that of Mu Yuan, it all came down to whose swordsmanship was superior.

  After two months of hard work, the boundary of sword energy differentiation has been stabilized, and it is effortless to display. Moreover, the flying sword condensed by the air is not small, and further differentiation makes the sword energy more violent, coming and going straight, strangling and flying stabbing, extreme changes!

  However, no matter how exquisite and ingenious Mu Yuan's sword moves were, Shui simply allowed the true energy to encircle into a circle, layer by layer, binding and entwining bit by bit. Like flowing water changing forms, it was shapeless and formless, yet made all of Mu Yuan's changes fall flat, leaving only a dazzling display of colorful lights, resplendent and beautiful!

  Mu Yuan was initially cautious and careful with his sword, but as the fight went on, he couldn't help but feel a sense of competitiveness rising up within him! At such a young age, he had already reached the realm of Sword Qi Separation, while his opponent, an old monster who had accumulated years of experience, only had True Qi that was comparable to his own. Mu Yuan's advantage lay in his mastery of magical techniques and variations, which made him even more resentful. With a clear whistle, his True Qi surged forth, and the many transformations of the Tsunami Water Sword were incorporated into the Witch Tribe's sword incantation!

  Facing a strong enemy, Mu Yuan naturally knew that he couldn't defeat the opponent with just his Longevity Technique. The depth of Shui's cultivation was unfathomable, and even if Mu Yuan's true energy continued to soar with the subtlety of the Longevity Technique, it would still be difficult to match up to the opponent. In that case, it might be better to rely on the unpredictable sword technique, Heart Technique, which might still have a chance of winning!

  However, Shui was after all a thousand-year-old monster, and his experience didn't need to be said. The divine techniques he had accumulated over the years were endless. In just a moment of fighting, the true energy changed and transformed into countless techniques: the condensed law wheel, treasure pagoda, illusory long knife, dazzling giant sword... even the Buddhist sect's Mount Sumeru giant palm was familiar to him, making it extremely difficult for Mu Yuan to cope!

  Fortunately, Mu Yuan's sword technique was quite extraordinary, and after incorporating the Canglang Water Sword, it became even more complex and varied. At first, there were only a few flying swords swirling around, but later on, they increased to ten, and with the help of the Sword Qi Splitting Technique, a vast network of intersecting swords filled the sky, creating an extraordinary spectacle. The sword qi collided in mid-air, producing a dazzling display of light and sound, as if a magnificent river had appeared, emitting a deafening roar that enveloped the water.

  The wooden element surpasses the fierce and unbridled, two months of cultivating the tide flow is fully displayed at this moment, ten flying swords are hidden in the surging true energy, mysterious and unpredictable, and there are bursts of green vines, like a giant dragon, even more mysterious.

  She smiled slyly, her slender fingers lightly tapping out a rhythm, the surrounding tidal true energy changing with her gestures, and suddenly reversing direction, rushing straight at Mu Yuan and back, "Little guy, you actually used water on me, truly a case of carrying a sword to cut a chicken!"

  The mighty water power broke free from Mu Yuan's control, leaving him astonished. He suddenly remembered that he had once transformed into a snake and dominated the waters, causing a great flood with just one hiss. He realized that he had indeed lost his mind, but seeing the surging water, Mu Yuan let out a loud shout, and with all his might, he finally unleashed the Dragon King's power!

  The water magic transformation is really making Mu Yuan exert his full strength, and the three major sword techniques combined with the Longevity Technique's tidal flow haven't gained much advantage. Now he has even been forced to use the Dragon King's Movement, this divine skill of the dragon clan!

  In the midst of surging water, a purple glow suddenly burst out, and the water flow turned over, steaming into a vast expanse of mist that covered the sky. The purple light flashed, thunder and lightning crackled, and the true energy of the tide transformed into massive waves that condensed into gigantic water balls. The edges of the water balls were also wrapped in threads of electricity, buzzing incessantly, crackling with explosive sounds. Dozens of enormous water balls rose into the air together, rumbling and suppressing, whistling as they charged forward!

  "This is..." Water's face finally revealed a hint of surprise, his hands grasped and seized, a massive amount of true energy surged forth, condensed and transformed, also transforming into a mighty river. The water flowed rapidly, swirling and turning into a gigantic whirlpool, even the freely roaming thunder and lightning couldn't escape, being absorbed and drawn in!

  The wooden element's sound waves rose, thunder and lightning rolled in, re-forming into a gigantic flying dragon of flashing electric light. With its teeth bared and claws dancing, it overturned the seas and rivers. The power of the thunder and lightning spread along the water flow, with electrical fires bursting forth everywhere. Even the waters seemed to be electrified, and under the similar true energy, everything felt numb and tingling.

  Mù Yuán was initially at an advantage, seeing Shuǐ's entire body clothed in a fluttering garment, with silken threads of electricity floating atop his hair. Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, he saw Shuǐ's ten fingers flying about, conjuring up a whirlwind of light that coalesced into a gleaming sword that materialized out of thin air, dancing and weaving in a frenzy of slashes, its tip emitting bursts of true energy that condensed into strands of sword energy as fine as silk or thread. These strands entwined each other before coalescing into countless flowing, elegant talismans that flew up to attach themselves to the electric dragon, which let out a deafening roar and had its scales of lightning force shattered and dispersed into nothingness.

  Mokoto was greatly astonished, the sword art condensed air into threads, and threads into talismans, a realm that had not been imparted to him before, nor had he ever heard of it. The electric dragon was dispersed with one strike, and a sword energy talisman revolved around Mokoto, flying and leaping, its sharp intent piercing his heart and soul, leaving Mokoto both ashamed and astonished.

  Shui put away his sword symbol, his eyes gleaming with amusement as he said, "Little guy, who did you learn this road's gong fa from? Let me take a look at how it's done?"
