Chapter 418 Seizing the Power of Heavenly Dao
Although Shen Rugo focused most of her attention on the foundation-building process, she always kept a sliver of her divine sense on alert to Wu Xuemei.
Seeing the attack coming, she snorted coldly, maintaining the flow of her cultivation technique while subtly dodging the attack with changing footwork.
At the same time, the protective array she had previously set up around her lit up, forming a light shield to resist, and she also continuously cast runes from her hands!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The demonic light struck the protective array and the steps of the sacred mountain, producing a deafening roar, and the dissipated energy caused the surrounding air to distort continuously.
Although Shen Rugo was in a flustered state and somewhat disheveled, she remained firmly on the first step, and the process of absorbing the power of the Heavenly Dao was not interrupted.
She focused on two things at once, immersing most of her mind in her body and guiding the power of the Heavenly Dao to begin this unprecedented foundation building process!
The ancient manual in the Star Palace Secret Realm once explained in detail how to perform the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building.
Shen Rugo had already repeatedly simulated the foundation-building method and process, and was extremely familiar with it.
Within the dantian and dantian, the eighteen Dao foundations, as majestic as ancient divine mountains, all emitted a buzzing sound the moment the power of the Heavenly Dao surged in!
The power of Heaven is the manifestation of rules and one of the fundamental forces that construct the world. Its level is far higher than that of ordinary spiritual energy.
At this moment, this pure white and dazzling power poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens, washing over the eighteen divine mountains that formed the Dao foundation.
The illusory Dao Foundation, which originally only shimmered with the light of the five elements, began to transform under the baptism of the power of the Heavenly Dao!
"Crack, click..."
This is not shattering, but sublimation!
On the surface of the Dao Foundation, the originally blurry patterns became incredibly clear under the infusion of the power of the Heavenly Dao, as if they contained the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
The Dao itself is also changing, gradually transforming from an illusory form of spiritual energy to a more substantial one, becoming increasingly solid and real, like eighteen real divine mountains, suppressing within the dantian.
Under the operation of the cultivation technique, the eighteen Dao foundations frantically absorbed the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Their volume did not increase, but their density and mass increased exponentially!
The auras between them began to intertwine, subtly forming a whole. A harmonious and flawless, naturally formed artistic conception quietly permeated the air, as if these eighteen Dao foundations were originally a complete small world prototype!
Meanwhile, Shen Rugo's aura was also rising and transforming at a visible speed, steadily advancing from the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage!
This is no ordinary Foundation Establishment; it is a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment forged with eighteen layers of Supreme Dao Foundation as the base and a massive amount of Heavenly Dao power as fuel!
Wu Xuemei became increasingly alarmed as she fought.
She noticed that Shen Rugo was drawing upon the power of the Heavenly Dao faster and faster, her aura was becoming stronger and stronger, and a faint white halo began to swirl around her.
That was a sign that the power of Heaven was beginning to merge with her physical body and soul!
Shen Rugo has already reached the half-step Foundation Establishment stage and is currently breaking through to the true Foundation Establishment stage!
As for the powerful Heavenly Dao energy above the first step, it appeared to be thinning, as if most of it had already been absorbed by Shen Rugo.
"This can't go on like this!"
Wu Xuemei suddenly snapped out of her daze, a resolute glint in her eyes. "If she can break through with the power of the Heavenly Dao, why can't I? I have the Devouring Demon Art, and my absorption efficiency may not be worse than hers! As long as I also absorb enough power of the Heavenly Dao, I can not only interrupt her progress, but also use this to condense a Golden Core, and a Heavenly Dao Golden Core that is far stronger than an ordinary Golden Core!"
With that thought in mind, Wu Xuemei no longer hesitated.
While continuing her attack on Shen Rugo, she also leaped up the first step of the Heavenly Dao Divine Mountain!
"Devouring Demonic Art, devour it!"
Wu Xuemei let out a sharp cry and pushed the Devouring Demon Art to its limit.
A pitch-black vortex formed above her head, generating a powerful suction force that began to forcibly plunder and extract the power of the Heavenly Dao from the steps!
However, to Wu Xuemei's surprise, the power of Heaven was supremely divine and holy, and it was incompatible with her evil demonic arts.
When the pure white power surged into the black vortex, a violent collision occurred, producing a hissing sound.
Her absorption efficiency was far inferior to Shen Rugo's, and even her demonic arts were somewhat suppressed.
However, the Devouring Demon Art is, after all, an extremely powerful and domineering divine and demonic technique. Under her forceful activation, a large amount of Heavenly Dao power was still plundered and integrated into her body, beginning to nourish her Dao foundation and launch an attack towards the Golden Core Realm.
Shen Rugo immediately sensed the diversion of the Heavenly Dao power and Wu Xuemei's intentions.
Wu Xuemei is indeed my mortal enemy in this world, always trying to compete with me!
"Trying to use the power of Heaven to condense your core? Dream on!"
A cold glint flashed in Shen Rugo's eyes. While continuing to frantically circulate the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Divine Art to accelerate the absorption of the power of the Heavenly Dao, she also forcibly mobilized the even more abundant and pure spiritual power within her body!
The most heaven-defying aspect of the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Divine Art is its ultimate amplification and control over the five elements spiritual roots. It can combine the spiritual energy of multiple spiritual roots and multiple attributes into one, becoming a golden and sacred mixed spiritual power. Furthermore, it can transform all spiritual power into spiritual power of a certain attribute, allowing that spiritual power to be infinitely amplified!
She imbued the Ice Spirit Root with this immense spiritual power containing the aura of the Heavenly Dao!
"Buzz!"
Shen Rugo was enveloped in a chilling aura, causing the temperature to plummet. Even the steps of the sacred mountain beneath her feet began to condense into thick frost!
Her hair and eyebrows were tinged with a layer of crystalline white.
"Wow!"
A clear and melodious sound pierced the clouds, as if the cry of a phoenix from the primordial era resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
Behind Shen Rugo, a giant phantom of an ice phoenix instantly materialized!
This time, the Ice Phoenix's form was more solid than ever before, with its feathers clearly visible and its eyes sharp, just like a true divine beast descending to earth!
As the illusory image of the ice phoenix spread its wings, endless primordial cold swept out, instantly freezing a hundred miles of space!
It looked down at Wu Xuemei, who was forcibly devouring the power of the Heavenly Dao not far away. A cold light flashed in its icy phoenix eyes. Its beak, formed from extreme ice, was like a divine spear, carrying the terrifying power to pierce through the void and freeze all things. It suddenly pecked down at Wu Xuemei!
This peck was as fast as lightning, and there was no way to avoid it!
Wu Xuemei was fully activating her demonic arts, envisioning the moment when she condensed the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, when she never expected Shen Rugo to unleash such a terrifying attack!
Before the phoenix's beak even arrived, the extreme cold had already descended!
Wu Xuemei's pupils contracted sharply, her heart filled with shock and disbelief. "How could she possibly launch such an attack? And this chilling aura is several times stronger than before?"
In her haste, she could only mobilize her demonic energy to create layers of demonic shields in front of her.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
However, with a single peck from the ice phoenix, all the magic shields shattered one after another, as if made of paper!
"puff!"
The Ice Phoenix Beak finally crashed hard into Wu Xuemei's protective magical light!
"what!"
Wu Xuemei let out a shrill scream as she was violently thrown off the steps of the sacred mountain like a kite with a broken string.
Her demonic energy was scattered, and a terrible wound on her chest almost pierced through her body. Extreme cold energy was frantically eroding her meridians and demonic essence, and the blood was frozen before it could flow out.
Her process of condensing her golden core by absorbing the power of the Heavenly Dao was also forcibly interrupted!
