Chapter 1712 - Learning Rival's Cultivation Techniques
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Looking at the Prince of Soil-Border Country, Qingfeng Li frowned and a deep look appeared in his eyes, because he had once learnt a gravity technique as well.
Qingfeng Li's Gravity Realm was unrivalled on Earth, but he had rarely used it after he got to Mars. Mostly, he had used spirit attacks and the Golden Flames.
He had recently used the Golden Flames several times and had reached his limit. It would harm his body if he continued to use it.
As to his spirit energy, he couldn't use it frequently, otherwise his mind would be damaged. Qingfeng Li decided to launch other attacks, such as the Gravity Realm.
He circulated the gravity chant in his body and unleashed the Gravity Realm technique.
In an area with a diameter of about 100 meters around him, Qingfeng Li formed a black force of gravity which came from the depth of the ground. It was the pulling force of the earth.
Of course, they were on Mars instead of Earth, so it was more accurate to call it the gravity of Mars.
Every planet had its gravity, which was necessary for humans and other organisms to live on them. Otherwise, they would float off into space.
Qingfeng Li's black Gravity Realm and the Gravity Technique of the Prince of Soil-Border Country collided with each other and blew up a surge of black runes.
Splitting the sand on the surface, the black runes rushed out from the depths of the ground and shot high up into the sky, shaking the sky and the earth.
The surrounding self-cultivators panicked when the pulling force from the ground began to suck them inside.
Those weaker self-cultivators nearer to the crater had their feet, legs, and even waists buried deep in the sands, causing them to scream with horror.
Some of them yelled, "Prince of Soil-Border Country, don't use the Gravity Technique any more or I will be buried alive by the sands."
Unfortunately, the Prince ignored them as he was engaged in the fierce battle with Qingfeng Li.
The Gravity Technique could form a force 500 times that of normal gravity!
It was fortunate that the Gravity Technique only covered an area with a diameter of about 150 meters, otherwise all the surrounding self-cultivators would have been pulled down into the ground and buried alive in the sand.
Qingfeng Li gained insight of the Gravity Realm on Earth and its force was only 400 times that of normal gravity. Its force was 100 times less than that of the Gravity Technique launched by the Prince of the Soil-Border Country.
Qingfeng Li's legs were buried in the sand and the surrounding sand was rushing toward him. A powerful force was pulling his feet down and he couldn't shake it off.
The power of the Gravity Technique went beyond physical and spirit attacks. It was the terrifying pulling force of stars and planets.
Qingfeng Li frowned but he was not worried. He continued to release the Gravity Field which formed a black gravity ripple.
Like the ripples on the sea, the gravity ripple rolled forward continuously and collided with the Prince's gravity technique. They rushed into each other and absorbed each other's force until they both vanished.
They struggled against the effects of two gravity techniques and the Prince of the Soil-Border Country gained the upper hand, slight as it was.
The Prince looked at Qingfeng Li and said, "It's a surprise that you should know a gravity technique. Unfortunately, your gravity force is weaker than mine and thus you are no match for me. Today I will bury you alive in the sand."
Facing the Prince's killing intent, Qingfeng Li looked cool with indifference.
Currently, his Gravity Field was weaker than that of his rival, but Qingfeng Li was learning and understanding and he excelled in leaning from his rivals and turning their techniques into his own.
The runes formed by Qingfeng Li's Gravity Field was black and the runes formed by the Gravity Technique of the Prince of Soil-Border Country were yellow.
They both used the planet's gravity, but with different kinds of gravity runes. As with swordsmanship, even one sword could have different styles due to the different elements of genuine energy of different self-cultivators. The styles were categorized into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth which had different representations such as red flames and white ice columns.
Qingfeng Li had understood the Gravity Field from his opponent's swordsmanship and now he understood his rival's Gravity Technique.
At first, Qingfeng Li's legs was sinking into the sand, but gradually he had discovered the launching method and the source of gravity in the Prince's Gravity Technique.
He began to use what he had learnt in his Gravity Field which began to turn from black to yellow with increasing pulling force.
The pulling force increased from 400 times of normal gravity to 410 times, then 420 times, 430 times… until it finally reached 500 times.
His Gravity Realm force increased 100 times to 500 times, the same as the force of the Prince's Gravity Technique.
By now, Qingfeng Li's legs and feet rose from the sands and he could walk easily on the surface of the desert. His rival's Gravity Technique now had no effect on him.
Frowning, a trace of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the Prince of Soil-Border Country since, just a moment ago, his Gravity Technique had gained the upper hand and had sucked Qingfeng Li down into the sand.
But a moment later, Qingfeng Li's Gravity Field force had increased to his own level. This fellow's power of understanding was even greater than his, which gave him an unsettling sense of danger.
The Prince decided to launch another attack—the attack of gravity runes, which could double the power of his Gravity Technique.
"Sky Emperor and Elderly Lord, show me the Earth Element and Eight Trigram." The Prince of Soil-Border Country chanted a paragraph of incantation and summoned a yellow Taoist Talisman.
The yellow Taoist talisman was only as big as a palm and on it were engraved tadpole-shaped characters. The characters were as tiny as hair, but they were extremely hard and contained unimaginable power.
The moment the yellow Taoist talisman appeared, it stuck to the ground in front of Qingfeng Li, doubling the gravity. Qingfeng Li sensed a tremendous pulling force from the underground.
His Gravity Field had absolutely no resistance to the force released from the gravity talisman. In the blink of an eye, Qingfeng Li's body was sucked down until only his head was above the ground.
