Chapter 326: Wood Spirit Art vs. The Triple Layered Emperor Wood Technique
"It seems, Junior Brother Lin, that you've chosen punishment over leniency. Just because you defeated one ordinary Nirvana stage opponent, you believe you can be so arrogant? In your current state, you'll be lucky to escape from me," Qin Lang sneered, eyes narrowed in menace as he fixed them on Lin Langtian.
Lin Langtian met his gaze coolly, saying, "Then let's see the true strength of a Wood Division Spirit General!"
Though his earlier battle with Li Shi had cost him much of his energy, Lin Langtian's Devouring Ancestral Symbol had already restored most of his strength. If Qin Lang thought he could simply swoop in and claim victory, he'd soon see Lin Langtian's hidden aces.
"If you insist on dying, I'm more than happy to grant your wish. As for the Triple Layered Emperor Wood Technique, I'll find it on you after your death," Qin Lang's voice was as cold as his glinting eyes.
With that, Qin Lang crossed his legs, closing his eyes as a wave of power far stronger than Li Shi's pulsed out from his body. Vast torrents of green energy, radiating power, erupted from him, blanketing half the sky and exuding an intense, ominous presence.
Lin Langtian hovered in the air, expression tense as he watched the scene. The energy swirling around Qin Lang radiated an overwhelming sense of danger, and Lin Langtian responded by landing some distance away and sending a blazing fire sword shooting toward Qin Lang.
"Swoosh!"
The flaming sword sped toward him, but before it could reach Qin Lang, it dissipated as if meeting an invisible barrier.
Qin Lang opened his eyes, which glowed a sinister shade of green. Smiling with arrogance, he spoke in a chilling tone, "My technique has taken down three peak Eight Yuan Nirvana stage opponents and two Nine Yuan Nirvana stage opponents instantly. I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the Triple Layered Emperor Wood Technique, and maybe I'll let you live."
Lin Langtian let out a laugh, declining to respond. At the same time, his hands began forming a series of seals.
Seeing this, Qin Lang scoffed and shifted his hand seals. The green energy around him condensed, forming an enormous figure of green energy in the sky. An ancient, terrifying aura emanated from the massive green shadow above him, casting the area into an oppressive silence.
The immense green figure, like a Wood Spirit Deity, loomed above Qin Lang, its blurry visage exuding a power that seemed to have crossed time itself.
A faint green mist escaped Qin Lang's mouth as his face took on a resolute and icy expression. In a chilling voice, he intoned, "Wood Spirit Art: Descent of the Wood God!"
As the words fell, his killing intent intensified to a fever pitch. He reached out a hand and clenched it into a fist in Lin Langtian's direction.
Crack!
The sky itself seemed to shatter as if all the surrounding energy had been crushed in his grip. The colossal figure of the Wood God took a step forward, and with one massive hand, it struck toward Lin Langtian.
The mountainous earth shook as though on the verge of collapse, and a jagged, hundred-foot crack split open on the ground below, racing like a serpent toward Lin Langtian.
"This terrifying power… Yuan Gate's Spirit General indeed!" Lin Langtian looked up, his gaze narrowing as he sensed the destructive power of the enormous green hand descending from above. Even with his formidable physical endurance, he knew that taking such a blow would leave him severely injured.
"All my exits are blocked…" Lin Langtian noted the green barrier Qin Lang had summoned to contain him.
"Still, this won't be enough to stop me."
Cold determination flashed in Lin Langtian's eyes as he began forming seals with his hands. From his palms, faint green light radiated, gathering into a thousand-foot ring of emerald energy that expanded outward.
With a decisive movement, Lin Langtian struck the ground with his right hand. A strange energy wave erupted from his body, spreading in all directions. If anyone had been there to witness, they would have seen the once-lush mountaintop turning eerily dry and brittle as the trees withered and split apart.
Crack, crack!
The trees disintegrated with unnatural speed, and within moments, the mountain peak was left desolate, as if all life had been drained from it.
"What…?" Qin Lang was taken aback by the rapid change, his gaze lighting up with greed as he exclaimed, "That's the Triple Layered Emperor Wood Technique!"
Fixated on Lin Langtian, his killing intent deepened. The Triple Layered Emperor Wood Technique would give him the power to rival Yuan Gate's Three Young Lords and could elevate Wood Division to the highest rank among the Eight Divisions.
Meanwhile, dark green energy surged from Lin Langtian, enveloping him in a fierce aura that rivaled even a Nine Yuan Nirvana stage warrior's strength. The long-awaited clash between the Wood Spirit Art and the Triple Layered Emperor Wood Technique had begun.
