Chapter 274: Battle In The Ancient Realm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The key to a battle lay in intelligence.

Even when two individuals possessed equal strength, knowing the moves the opponent was good at and his combat style, could gain the upper hand.

This was especially true in the battle in the Ancient Realm.

The role of intelligence was maxed out.

This was because different mystical patterns could provide distinct power characteristics and strengths.

As a result, the probing stage of the battle in the Ancient Realm was extremely protracted both sides engaged in a standoff for a long time, primarily to gather as much information as possible about each others mystical patterns, thereby gaining the upper hand.

Although the c.o.c.kroach Pavilion immediately charged recklessly, his speed was not particularly fast.

As he moved, his six arms waved, leaving behind countless afterimages, and a large amount of source power was drawn and converged in c.o.c.kroach Pavilions hands. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into three large bows that were taller than humans!

Soldier Transformation Technique.

And Bow of Stella Slaying!

Multicolored arrows instantly left the bows and flew towards Esek and Lu Ming.

Silver light and purple mist rose from the bodies of Eseck and Lu

Ming.Accompanied by thuds and sizzling sounds, the energy arrows were shattered, and some were corroded.

c.o.c.kroach Pavilions attack was entirely ineffective.

Do you sense anything?

Esek asked Lu Ming, as if he were a teacher questioning a student.

Lu Ming nodded slightly and said, His silver pattern power is not offensive.

Depending on the differences in the Source Power skills they practiced, the power nature of the Source of Magic Silver patterns could also vary.

For offensive Source Power skills, the Awakened silver patterns focused on attack. The Awakened silver patterns of the Body Protective technique focused on defense. Body Forging techniques, Breathing techniques, secret techniques, and others also had their own unique focuses.

The power levels were also different.

The attack of the c.o.c.kroach Pavilion might seem very terrifying in the eyes of those in the Source Realm, but in front of Ancient Realm experts, it had no effect at all. This meant that his silver patterns were not transformed from an offensive Source Power skill.

There was no inherent Power of the Natural Order in his attacks either.

Considering that he has only one mystical pattern, theres a high probability that hes an Ancient Realm expert with a defensive focus.

In other words, the lowest level of the Ancient Realm.

The characteristic of these Ancient Realm experts was that they had high defense and weak attack, and they posed no threat to slightly stronger Ancient Realm experts.

For example, Esek.

Lu Ming could vaguely see that when the energy arrows approached Esek, Eseks body had already turned ethereal, as if it had turned into a foggy ma.s.s condensed from the Zombie Beast Poison.

A layer of Zombie Beast Poison had spread over his body, and this layer of poison corroded c.o.c.kroach Pavilions arrows, rendering Esek completely immune to the c.o.c.kroach Pavilions attacks.

This was one of the differences between the Foundation of Matter golden patterns and the silver patterns of the Source of Magic.

By fully grasping the characteristics of the related matter, the owner of the golden patterns could completely use the power of the golden pattern to transform his body into related matter and obtain various unimaginable characteristics.

This also meant that the combat logic of the golden patterns was entirely different from the silver patterns!

In short, that guy is very weak, so Ill leave it to you. With your strength, even if youre not his equal, you should be able to learn some Ancient Realm combat techniques and knowledge from him.

Esek patted Lu Ming on the shoulder and told him.

Afterward, he looked at Tang Chongye behind the c.o.c.kroach Pavilion.

That was the strongest among the three Ancient Realm experts on the opposing side!

Then Ill take care of Esek.

Tang Chongye was also looking at Esek.

As fellow owners of the golden patterns, Tang Chongye naturally knew how powerful and terrifying these golden patterns were.

c.o.c.kroach Pavilion had no room to intervene in the battle of the golden patterns at all. c.o.c.kroach Green, with his dual silver patterns, could provide some help to him, although not much.

Hearing Tang Chongyes voice, c.o.c.kroach Pavilion and c.o.c.kroach Green both nodded.

The two brothers looked at Lu Ming and actually locked onto Lu Ming as their primary target. After all, they had to pick the weakest link.

A thick purple mist spread out from Eseks body.

Before long, his entire body had transformed into a ma.s.sive cloud of Zombie Beast Poison, howling as he charged toward Tang Chongye and the other two.

Seeing this, c.o.c.kroach Pavilion and c.o.c.kroach Green retreated behind Tang Chongye. Tang Chongye roared angrily, and with a flash of the golden patterns, his entire body immediately turned into golden metal!

The Power of Magic Gold!

With a hard metal like Magic Gold,! can transform into Foundation of Matter golden patterns.

Esek, let me see what youre capable of!

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Chongye had already rushed into the purple mist.

Clamorous sounds echoed from within the mist, and faint traces of golden light seeped out of the purple mist.

The two golden-patterned Ancient Realm experts were just like the two elemental G.o.ds, each controlling their respective elemental powers and engaging in a grand battle!

Seeing this, Lu Mings eyes darkened.

He muttered, It looks like a battle between two ancient realms, but in fact, its a clash between Zombie Beast poison and Magic Gold. Both sides are consuming each others golden patterns power in a war of attrition. Once one sides power is completely depleted, they will be stuck in a deadlock.

This battle isnt just about the strength of the golden patterns, but also the characteristics of the Zombie Beast Poison and Magic Gold. The Zombie Beast Poison can hardly corrode the Magic Gold, so the chances of Esek winning this battle are not high.

After muttering this, Lu Ming could not help but sigh, This power of the golden patterns is quite interesting.

In contrast, the power of the Source of Magic Silver Patterns was a little boring.

This was because the characteristics of the Silver Patterns were actually extremely similar to Source Power skills, at most reaching their peak in terms of strength.

Therefore, the battle between the Silver Patterns was no different from a battle between the Spirit Realm and the Source Realm.

As he looked across the battlefield, he could see that c.o.c.kroach Pavilion and c.o.c.kroach Green had already circ.u.mvented the golden-patterned battlefield and were steadily advancing toward Lu Ming.

Seeing this, Lu Ming moved his shoulders.

Although I can guess what a battle with the Silver Patterns is like speculations and actual combat arent the same.

As he spoke, Lu Ming clenched his fists.

He faced the two of them head-on, saying, Let me see what the characteristics of a real battle in the Silver Patterns Ancient Realm are like.

c.o.c.kroach Green came to a halt.

His position was between Lu Ming and c.o.c.kroach Pavilion on one side and Esek and Tang Chongye on the other.

As a dual Silver patterns Ancient Realm expert, c.o.c.kroach Green could engage in the battle alongside Esek and Tang Chongye while also being able to intervene in the battle between Lu Ming and c.o.c.kroach Pavilion.

The position he occupied now undoubtedly served as a kind of safety netwherever things went wrong, he could lend his a.s.sistance.

Observing Lu Ming and c.o.c.kroach Pavilion, c.o.c.kroach Green muttered to himself, With both of them having a single Silver Pattern, c.o.c.kroach Pavilion should be able to handle it.

As soon as he spoke, Lu Ming had already collided with c.o.c.kroach Pavilion.

With a deafening roar, their fists and feet clashed, causing a flurry of flying debris.

But he looked at the essence through the phenomenon.

Soon, c.o.c.kroach Green nodded in understanding.

The opponent has a defensive-type Silver Pattern.

Then theres no need to pay any attention.

When it came to battles in the Ancient Realm, the lowest tier was undoubtedly when both sides had single Silver Patterns, and these patterns were derived from protective techniques.

Such battles only led to one outcome extreme exhaustion without any clear victor.

Ancient realm experts with single Silver Patterns developed from defensive techniques naturally possessed strong defenses. However, they lacked offensive mystical patterns, which meant they lacked the ability to attack effectively. It was akin to both sides wearing a protective sh.e.l.l without any means to break through their opponents defenses.

With this in mind, c.o.c.kroach Green shook its head and s.h.i.+fted its focus to the battle between Esek and Tang Chongye.

Theres no need to pay attention, these two wont achieve any result even if

they fight for a day..
