Chapter 239 Breakthrough and Harvest
At the critical moment of the battle, Yun Yao suddenly realized a new way to use her spiritual power. She compressed her spiritual power to the extreme, and then burst it out instantly, forming a powerful impact force.
Previously, Yun Yao had fallen into an unprecedented dilemma in the fierce confrontation with the guardian beast. The guardian beast was as huge as a mountain. Every time it swung its huge claws, it brought up a whistling sound of wind, as if it could tear the void. Its fur shone with a cold metallic luster. Ordinary spell attacks fell on it, like an ant trying to shake a tree, which could only cause weak ripples and could not cause any substantial damage to it. Yun Yao's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and fatigue, but more of determination. She knew very well that if she could not find a way to break through as soon as possible, not only would she not be able to obtain the spiritual plant, but her and Chu Mochen's lives would also be in jeopardy.
Yun Yao thought to herself that the conventional way of outputting spiritual power was too scattered to pose a fatal threat to this thick-skinned guardian beast. She began to try to change the trajectory of the spiritual power, slowly condensing the spiritual power that was originally evenly distributed in the spell to the core. This process was extremely difficult. The spiritual power was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, difficult to tame, and would backfire on itself if not carefully. Yun Yao bit her lower lip tightly, and a trace of blood oozed out, but she was completely unaware. Her entire mind was immersed in the control of the spiritual power. With her tenacious will and the weak assistance of the system, the spiritual power gradually began to obey her command and compressed little by little.
At this moment, the guardian beast seemed to have sensed Yun Yao's abnormality. It let out an earth-shaking roar, and the sound waves surged towards Yun Yao like a substance. Yun Yao's body swayed, and she almost lost her balance, but her eyes were still fixed on the guardian beast, and the spell in her hand never paused. At this critical moment, Chu Mochen stepped forward, and he injected his own spiritual power into the long sword. The sword instantly shone brightly, turning into a dazzling light curtain, blocking Yun Yao in front of her, buying her precious time.
Yun Yao felt a warm current in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't be distracted at this moment. She continued to concentrate on compressing her spiritual power. As the spiritual power gathered more and more, a layer of dazzling light appeared around her body, and the light contained a heart-pounding power. Finally, the spiritual power was compressed to the extreme, and Yun Yao pushed her hands forward suddenly, shouting: "Break!"
In an instant, a beam of spiritual power like a dragon roared out, its speed was as fast as lightning. Wherever it passed, the air was compressed sharply, making a series of explosions. This force carried the momentum of destroying the world and hit the guardian beast fiercely. The guardian beast widened its eyes, and for the first time, a trace of fear appeared in its eyes. It tried to dodge, but it was too late. The spiritual power beam hit its chest heavily, making a dull loud noise, as if the whole world was shaking.
The huge body of the guardian beast was knocked back several feet by the powerful impact. A huge wound appeared on its chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain. The originally indestructible fur now became charred and broken, and the air was filled with a burning smell. It struggled in pain and wailed, and every roar was accompanied by a splash of blood, making the surrounding ground dyed a deep red.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not relax their vigilance because of the successful attack. They knew that although the guardian beast was seriously injured, it still had the strength to fight. The two quickly approached, stood back to back, and watched the guardian beast's every move vigilantly. At this time, Yun Yao's spiritual power was mostly consumed by the powerful attack just now, and her face was slightly pale, but her eyes were still firm and sharp. Chu Mochen's situation was not optimistic either. His clothes were soaked with sweat, his breathing was a little rapid, and the light on the long sword became much dimmer.
The guardian beast slowly got up from the ground, its eyes burning with anger, staring at Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, wishing to eat them alive. It endured the severe pain in its chest, roared again, and then rushed towards the two desperately. Although its speed was slowed down by the injury, it was still as fierce as a galloping chariot.
Yun Yao took a deep breath and quickly adjusted the flow of spiritual energy in her body. She knew that she could no longer attack blindly like before. She had to find the fatal weakness of the guardian beast before she could give it a fatal blow. Her eyes were fixed on the injured chest of the guardian beast. Although the wound there was constantly bleeding, there was still a layer of faint light flickering, as if to prevent the wound from further deteriorating. Yun Yao's heart moved, and she guessed that the light might be the core of the guardian beast's defense.
So, Yun Yao whispered to Chu Mochen: "Brother Chu, I will attract its attention later, and you find a chance to attack the wound on its chest, which may be its weak spot." Chu Mochen nodded slightly, he clenched the sword in his hand, and a look of determination revealed.
Yun Yao took the lead in launching the attack. She cast a series of small spells that flew towards the guardian beast like meteors. Although these spells were not powerful, they were extremely fast and at tricky angles, forcing the guardian beast to be distracted to deal with them. It waved its huge claws, trying to knock down these spells one by one, but Yun Yao's attacks were endless, making it a little overwhelmed.
At the moment when the guardian beast was restrained by Yun Yao's attack, Chu Mochen moved. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the guardian beast. He raised his long sword high, and the sword body once again emitted a sharp sword energy. The moment he approached the guardian beast, he suddenly stabbed the long sword into the wound on the guardian beast's chest.
The guardian beast sensed the danger and wanted to dodge, but Yun Yao's attack prevented it from escaping. It could only watch as Chu Mochen's sword stabbed at its vitals. At the moment when the sword was about to pierce the wound, the guardian beast suddenly twisted its body. Although it avoided the vitals of its chest, Chu Mochen's sword still pierced its shoulder fiercely, and blood gushed out again.
The guardian beast roared in pain, shaking its body wildly, trying to throw Chu Mochen out. Chu Mochen held the sword tightly, his feet nailed to the ground, but the guardian beast was too powerful, and his body was still thrown up little by little.
Yun Yao was extremely anxious when she saw this. She ignored the consumption of her own spiritual power and cast a powerful binding spell. Rays of light flew out from her hands and quickly wrapped around the guardian beast's limbs, binding it tightly. The guardian beast struggled even more violently, but could not break free from Yun Yao's spell.
Chu Mochen took the opportunity to jump off the guardian beast. After he stood firm, he raised his sword again, ready to launch a new round of attack. The guardian beast was in a desperate situation, and there was a hint of despair in its eyes. But it still refused to give up resistance. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a black smoke, covering Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were prepared. They quickly held their breath and cast a spiritual shield to block the black smoke. Then, the two looked at each other and rushed towards the guardian beast at the same time. Their figures were looming in the smoke, like two gods of war descending to the mortal world.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen came in front of the guardian beast, and both launched their strongest attacks at the same time. Yun Yao gathered all the remaining spiritual power in her body into her hands, and then launched a huge spiritual light ball. This light ball contained all her strength, and the light was dazzling, like a small sun. Chu Mochen perfectly integrated his own spiritual power with sword energy, and his long sword turned into a sword energy rainbow several feet long, and slashed at the guardian beast fiercely.
The two attacks landed on the guardian beast at the same time, making a deafening sound. The guardian beast's body was instantly submerged in light, and it let out a final desperate roar, then its huge body slowly fell down, raising a cloud of dust.
As the guardian beast fell, the restrictions around the spiritual plant were broken. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen breathed a sigh of relief, with tired but relieved smiles on their faces. Yun Yao quickly walked towards the spiritual plant, carefully picked it off, and then took it.
The spiritual implant melted as soon as it entered her body, turning into a powerful spiritual power torrent that raged through Yun Yao's body. Yun Yao hurriedly sat cross-legged and began to guide the spiritual power to flow through her meridians. Her meridians felt a sharp pain under the impact of the spiritual power, but she gritted her teeth and persisted. As the spiritual power continued to circulate, a layer of colorful light appeared around Yun Yao's body, and the light became stronger and stronger, enveloping her entire body.
Chu Mochen stood aside, quietly guarding Yun Yao. His eyes were full of concern and expectation. He knew that Yun Yao was experiencing a critical breakthrough at this moment. If successful, her strength would make a qualitative leap.
Under the continuous nourishment of spiritual power, Yun Yao's meridians were gradually widened, and the storage space of spiritual power was also constantly expanding. The originally blocked meridian nodes were opened one by one under the impact of spiritual power. Yun Yao's face showed a painful look, but her eyes were still firm. She constantly adjusted the speed of spiritual power and guided the spiritual power to impact a higher realm.
Finally, after a lot of hard work, Yun Yao successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the late stage of foundation building. She felt her body was full of strength, as if she had been reborn. She slowly opened her eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
Yun Yao stood up, her posture became more upright, and her temperament also changed subtly. She turned to look at Chu Mochen, with a bright smile on her face: "Brother Chu, I succeeded!" Chu Mochen walked forward, he gently patted Yun Yao's shoulder, and a gratified smile appeared on his face: "Yun Yao, congratulations. Your strength has improved a lot. In the future, we will be able to better cope with various challenges in this world of cultivation."
Yun Yao nodded slightly, her heart full of expectations for the future. She knew that this was just a new starting point on her road to cultivation, and there were more challenges and opportunities waiting for her. And she would work hand in hand with Chu Mochen to explore this mysterious and vast world of cultivation together.
