Chapter 677 Final Clash (5)
As soon as the cloaked figure had seen these beasts appear around him, he had wanted to condense ice spikes to attack them with. However, before he could even do a thing, the barrier had already appeared around him.
When the barrier did appear, his brows had knitted so deep that it almost seemed like his face was collapsing in on itself.
It was because he could see from the barrier that this array that had been put around him was something that he couldn't understand at all. It was an array that shouldn't have existed in this lower realm, yet here it was in front of him.
He also knew that this array was completely different from the one from before since he could feel that aura of danger coming from it.
This was an array that could hurt him even when he had pushed his cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm.
After these thoughts passed through his mind, he spoke once again, but his tone this time was completely different from the tone that he had previously, "What do you want? Perhaps we can make a deal?"
But once again, all that met his voice was silence.
Well, it wasn't complete silence as the life energy of the over a hundred Child Soul Realm beasts were released, being gathered into the array.
Once the life energy was injected into the array, there were balls of light that appeared in the air. These balls of light were like the attacks from before, but this time, they weren't just different colours.
Each ball had a mix of different colours in them, as if they were some kind of amalgamation.
However, the aura that each attack gave off was much stronger than before.
On average, these balls of light had three different colours in them, but there were a few that had more colours to them mixed among the ones with three colours. Of course, the aura that these balls gave off were completely different from the ones that only had three colours in them.
After forming, the balls of light suddenly flew down at the wall of ice around the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure could sense the danger coming from these balls of light, so he raised his hand again and increased the thickness of the wall of ice. Along with this, his aura started to swell as life energy poured out of him, flowing into the wall of ice.
When the balls of light hit the wall of ice, they created a quick explosion before the smoke quickly dissipated.
After the smoke disappeared, it revealed that the wall of ice was still there, but there were very large cracks that had formed on the wall of ice.
The expression of the cloaked figure wasn't that good, but that wasn't revealed since the cloaked figure had his cloak over him. But based on the slow speed that the cracks in the wall of ice healed, it was clear that he wasn't doing well.
It was at this moment that a few more balls of light suddenly flew out at the wall of ice. However, these balls of light were completely different from the previous balls of light.
Not only were they fewer in number, the aura that they gave off made even the cloaked figure feel a sense of danger.
He wanted to raise his hand and increase the power of his wall of ice again, but it was already too late.
These few balls of light slammed into the wall of ice and this time, they didn't explode. Instead, they shattered right through the wall of ice and even was about to hit the cloaked figure, but there was a barrier that suddenly appeared around the cloaked figure that stopped these balls of light.
This barrier was almost invisible if it hadn't been clashing against the balls of light, which made it reveal itself.
There was a balance between the two sides that lasted a few seconds before the balls of light were repelled. They bounced back in the air before dissipating into nothingness.
However, it was clear by the faint ripples that ran through the barrier that they had dealt damage to the barrier itself.
The cloaked figure was stunned at first, but then his face was completely filled with rage as he roared, "You lower being! You dare force me to use my life saving artifact! I'll kill you!"
His voice was different from all the other times that he had roared out in "rage" previously. This time, it was clear that his anger had completely swallowed his rationality and he wasn't going to hold back any longer.
After all, this cloak around him was his life saving artifact and he was truly enraged from the shame of having to use it here against someone of a lower realm.
For him who was filled with pride, there was no describing this shame.
After he roared out, there was a sudden burst of life energy that came from him.
This time, he no longer cared about holding back at all as he released all the life energy that he could.
With his experience in the Illusion Space, Lin Fan was able to easily recognize the change in his cultivation. It went beyond the Nascent Soul Realm and reached all the way into the True Soul Realm.
Even after reaching the True Soul Realm, his cultivation didn't stop rising.
At this rate, it would break free of the Soul Realm completely and reach the next realm…
Even with over a hundred Child Soul Realm beasts under his control, this was not something that Lin Fan could face. After all, there was a large gap between these different realms of cultivation that went beyond major realms.
If he didn't do something now, it would be too late.
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan immediately gave the order and even more balls of light condensed.
There were far more balls of light that had more than three colours in them this time, many times more. There were even many balls of light that reached five colours or even six colours.
In the center of it all, there was a ball of light that even reached seven colours.
Each of these colours were as expected, different laws that had been condensed into this attack. With these different laws condensed together, the might of each of these balls of light far exceeded the might of the single coloured balls of light from the previous array.
This was an array that could condense different laws into a single attack, which meant that it was an array that was at a much higher level than the one Lin Fan used previously.
Of course, something like this was only possible because of all the Child Soul Realm beasts that Lin Fan had tamed, so it was only Lin Fan who could use this array. After all, without all these different beasts making up this array, sharing the pressure that came from combining the laws together, this array would have collapsed a long time ago.
Which was why Lin Fan had spent the past few days taming all these Child Soul Realm beasts.
They were his trump card in facing this lord from the Assassins Association.
But that was all turned upside down when this lord revealed his true cultivation.
Without any hesitation, Lin Fan threw all the balls of light at the lord. He threw the weaker ones first and then the ones with more colours in them behind it.
As he had expected, as soon as the balls of light approached the cloaked figure, there was another barrier that had appeared.
This barrier was completely different from any that the cloaked figure had released before.
Unlike that thick wall of ice, this one was much thinner and unlike that invisible barrier, this one was still visible.
It was almost as if there was a layer of glass that had appeared right around the cloaked figure, but it was too strong to be just glass since it blocked every single attack that fell onto it initially. When one looked at it closely, they would see that instead of glass, this was actually a very thin layer of ice.
But the strength that it demonstrated completely overturned what one thought ice would be like.
When the four coloured balls of light started hitting the thin layer of ice, they still weren't able to break through, but they did shake the wall of ice.
Then when the five coloured balls of light hit the thin layer of ice, the shaking became even stronger. It was clear that these were having an effect on the thin layer of ice.
When the six coloured balls of light hit the thin layer of ice, there were small cracks that were starting to form on that layer of ice.
Lin Fan started feeling a bit of hope when he saw this.
Perhaps the final ball of light would be able to do it.
After the six coloured balls of light finished landing on the thin layer of ice, there were cracks that had formed all over it. However, these small cracks didn't last long as they started to close at a rate that could be seen with the naked eye.
Lin Fan placed all his expectations on the seven coloured ball of light.
When the seven coloured ball of light hit the thin layer of ice, it didn't instantly collapse like the other balls of light. Rather, there was an even clash between the two sides that lasted a few seconds before giant cracks started forming on the thin layer of ice.
It was like a piece of glass that had suddenly been hit with a stone as a large cobweb of cracks had formed.
But that still wasn't enough in the end as the seven coloured ball of light still dissipated and the thin layer of ice still surrounded the cloaked figure even if it was completely cracked.
